Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 736

With the appearance of these rank 7 magic beasts, the returnee could either abandon them or appear and helped them.

The soldiers were originally nervous.

And then…

They found out the reason why the returnee didn't choose to admit his identity in front of the public.

"This is the last batch of the weapon I made," the man in his twenties said as he put the sword on the table. Even though the cold weapons were not that popular, but many magic warrior who were already at rank 5 were still using it. For them, it was more convenient because they could deal with the magic beasts at close distance. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Of course, they would still have to be careful when facing the rank 7 magic beasts and requested assistance with the guns.

"Thank you," the solider said solemnly.

"It's nothing." The man smiled bitterly. "If anything, I should be the one to apologize."

He looked at the large number of rank 7 magic beasts outside and fell into silence. Even with the weapon he gave out, it was not that easy for these magic warriors to cross ranks and defeated the rank 7 magic beasts.

But he couldn't step forward on his own.

"You have done enough, Leon."

Leon is the last returnee who had never showed his ability even after more than a year coming back to the Green Planet. He didn't want anyone to know that he's a returnee and his action was even worse than Riya.

Because while Riya was still showing her specialness, Leon had completely adapted to the life of ordinary people.

If it was not because of the second earthquake, no one would have the clue that Leon is actually a returnee. He lived an ordinary life on the surface and collected materials secretly at night time to make weapons.

As for how he hid it…

Leon was a blacksmith in a small village and continued his line of work after moving to the base. But what he made most of the time was nothing more than ordinary kitchen utensil and the likes.

No one suspected him in the slightest bit.

"Haha." Leon scratched the back of his head and showed a wry smile. He glanced at the rank 7 magic beasts that came closer to them and frowned slightly.

When he found out that the earthquake happened and many magic beasts came out, he was actually quite panicked. Because he had experienced the brutal battles in that world and didn't wish for this matter to be repeated in this world in the slightest bit.

Who would want to experience the feeling of having many magic beasts chasing after them?

They want to live.

And these rank 7 magic beasts were clearly not going to give them any chance to live.

So when he could live a comfortable life while hiding his real identity, Leon liked this very much. There was no need for him to showcase his talent but at the same time, he didn't need to worry about his life that much.

This is the best.

Unfortunately, the appearance of the second earthquake told him that it was impossible. When the crack that become bigger appeared in this island, it was the same as telling them that the last returnee was staying here.

This was something that Leon found out later.

But the main reason why he chose to come forward was because he saw the rank 7 magic beasts among the magic beasts.

Leon is only at the late stage of rank 5.

It could be said that he's the slowest in terms of advancement among the returnees. After all, he didn't have any cheats that could help him to meditate faster or anything like that.

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you suddenly choose to step forward, Mr. Leon?" The general asked when he saw Leon's expression. They all knew that Leon was not the type of person who would like attention or showing off his abilities.

Why?

Leon blinked his eyes and then replied helplessly, "I don't have any lofty ideals. In fact, I want to keep hiding. But if everyone around me die because of my fear and cowardice, I'll never be able to forgive myself."
