Runemaster in the Last Days

"What? Rank 7?" Peter's assistant was stunned.

As Peter's assistant, he had been exposed to various knowledge that Peter shoved to him. One of them was naturally about the differences between the ranks and their slow advancement after reaching rank 4.

Since more and more people advanced to rank 4, this matter was no longer a secret and there were many people who had known about this.

Of course, they were naturally a bit displeased about this matter.

After all, everyone was hoping that they could become stronger as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, all returnees have the same answer.

Impossible.

Unless they obtained some kind of resources that could help them to speed up their practice, then they had to practice step by step in accordance to their profession. There was no direct shortcut for them to advance faster.

"Hahaha, yeah!" Peter laughed as he grinned. "Advancing to rank 7 required an advancement ceremony, which will take a few hours at least… well, considering that all returnees are advancing to rank 7 for the second time, it's estimated that they can cut off this time by at least half."

Since they already have the experience of advancing to rank 7, they didn't need to waste too much of their time. The more time they took to advance to rank 7, the more variable would there be in their advancement process.

It would be better for them to advance as quickly as possible.

"This… do you know who advanced?"

"I don't know," Peter replied righteously.

The assistant: "…"

"But I can guess. Only Samuel or Riya could possibly reach the peak of rank 6 in such a short period of time," Peter said calmly.

"Why?" The assistant was confused.

"Because these two people dare to enter the crack to look for resources on their own. I don't know what they found or what they experience, but if they can turn the danger into opportunity, then they truly deserve to reach the peak of rank 6," Peter replied calmly.

And Peter also knew that this small team had an advantage that no one else could possibly match.

It was the teleportation formation.

The reason why these two people dared to enter the crack bravely and faced so many magic beasts was inseparable from the fact that Riya could make teleportation formation in case of danger.

When the two of them couldn't fight their opponent, all they have to do was to use the teleportation formation to escape.

To be honest, such a way of fight was really cowardly.

But at this moment, what would be more important than saving one's life?

In that world, they dared to face countless dangers because they have various treasures that they kept with them. So they didn't have to learn so many life saving methods and just have to rely on these.

Rune master was the only exception.

They made these life saving treasures herself, so naturally she had the greatest advantage when she really need it.

Rather than waiting for others to give it to her, why not make it herself?

The teleportation formation was only one of them.

"I have to report this," the assistant said with a sigh.

"Go on and report it. I don't think that they plan to hide this matter if they dared to advance in the Green Planet instead of the crack… uh wait, no, they can't advance in the crack."

Peter thought about the formation that was keeping the crack in place and could guess that if someone dared to activate an advancement ceremony within the crack, the place where they stayed would definitely collapse.

Because the places were not as sturdy as the Green Planet.

What kept it around was the formation and so on.

Even though Peter was not a rune master, he could sense that the crack was not stable. As he had reached rank 6, this sense was even greater and his instinct was telling him that he will die if he dared to try advancing to rank 7 within the crack.

The assistant only looked at Peter with a blank look as he made the call and quickly informed the higher ups about the first rank 7 along with the advancement ceremony's information.

Peter ignored the assistant.

"Well, I have already reached the middle stage of late 6 through eating a lot of resources… It seems that I have to hasten my pace a bit, huh?" Peter smirked as he looked at the distance.

No matter whether it was Samuel or Riya who advanced to rank 7… Peter felt that it was a good thing.

Because their presence will definitely restrain Murin and Dina when either one of them advanced to rank 7 in the future.

…

*in the other area*

Bang!

Murin looked in the distance and his expression turned worse. He could sense the faint mana distortion but he was so far away from the center that even if he wanted to do something, it would be impossible.

"Damn it, how could they be so fast?" Murin cursed under his voice.

He knew very well that the other returnees would definitely try their best to advance to rank 7 as fast as possible. Because only by reaching rank 7 would many threats from the outside world and even other returnees would not be able to affect them.

Despite knowing this matter, Murin firmly believed that there were not many people who could possibly reach rank 7 so quickly.

Now, he realized that he was too naive.

Someone had advanced to rank 7 or they were in the process of advancing to rank 7.

"No, I can't take this lying down!" Murin gnashed his teeth.

It was only after he killed so many magic beasts and destroyed various places in the crack that he managed to reach rank 6 not long ago.

The amount of resources he had to invest during this period of time was more than enough to make him want to vomit blood.

Yet, it was not enough to make him the first to advance?
