Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Rats Extermination (3)
Sophia saw Melly ran into the field and then happily splashed the muddy water.

Sophia: “…”

Well, she forgot that this dog really loved to play in mud.

If it was not because her family would prohibit Melly from coming into the house when she was being covered in mud, Melly would not have been detailed several times and stayed outside. Because of being apprehended and scolded several times, Melly knew that she was not allowed to play in muds.

No matter how much she whines, Sophia would not allow it.

But after she could start communicating with Sophia, Melly found out that she had to protect Sophia!

Because of this, she has to train and become stronger.

And today, Melly thought that she would have to train again. But Sophia told her that instead of training, she has to go and kill a few rats in the muddy field.

Melly’s tail wagged happily as he jumped around the field.

“If he destroy the field, I’ll let the Carson Family reimburse the loss,” Samuel reminded when he saw Melly was running around without regards for the plants.

Sophia: !!!

“Melly, don’t play around! I won’t give you your favorite snacks if you destroy the plants!”

Hearing the stern order from Sophia, Melly could only lower her enthusiasm and whine again. But when she saw that Sophia ordered her to kill the magic rats, Melly could only start looking around.

Splash! Splash!

Of course, he would still splash some mud water.

But this time, Melly was careful enough not to destroy the plants.

Sophia heaved a sigh of relief.

‘This should be a good start…’

“Ah! Rats! Counterattack barrier!” Amelia was startled and yelled once more, forming a barrier around her.

The magic rat jumped forward, hit the barrier and fell down again.

Amelia saw this and quickly raised her sword.

Stab!

The magic rat was killed without any suspense.

Seeing the blood splattered on the mud, Amelia fell into silence for a moment and then looked at her brother. “Brother, is it fine for the blood to be mixed with the mud here?”

If she was not wrong, there was a meeting not long ago that her brother attended. Their father had told them that while these magic beasts’ corpses could be used as fertilizer, but it might not be suitable for all kind of plants.

So they were planning to conduct research on which plants were suitable.

Thankfully, when they first gathered those magic beasts’ corpses and tried to accelerate the decomposition, they didn’t use it directly into the field. Instead, there was one separate field where the bodies of these magic beasts were gathered and collected together.

“This…” Samuel turned to look at Riya.

Riya and Ruben were not far from Samuel, busy with the stack of fences that hadn’t been set up yet.

The others had also seen them and guessed that they have other tasks, so they didn’t ask.

“It’s fine,” Riya replied. “These magic rats are too weak and even if their blood contained some violent mana, it’ll slowly dissipate in time. If you’re worried, you can use purification spell, but it’s not necessary.”

The problem of the violent mana seeping into the plants could only happen when the amount of violent mana was very large. Despite the large death of magic beasts in the entire world so far, the areas where these magic beasts died were concentrated in specific location.

The violent mana had only started to seep into the ground.

In some places, it might have already started to make trouble, but it would not be the same as City A Base.

Why?

Because the number of magic beasts that was killed within City A was less than 50% of the magic beasts out there. Riya had already killed most of these magic beasts before they could come out and those magic beasts were directly decomposed into mana inside her world.

The mana was also the pure mana without the violent nature within it.

Because of this, the situation in City A Base was actually far better than many other cities.

“That’s good to hear.” Amelia could hear Riya’s voice and also felt greatly relieved. She felt that Riya’s words were simply telling her that she didn’t have to worry about killing these magic rats at all.

“Alright, continue,” Samuel said.

“Ugh, you’re really annoying, Brother,” Amelia said, but she still followed her brother’s instruction and started to look around again.

Splash! Bite!

On the other side, Melly quickly found a magic rat and bite the magic rat to death.

The magic rat had no time to react before it was bitten to death by Melly.

It could be said that Melly’s senses were indeed stronger. Even though they were in the muddy water, she could sense that there was a magic rat nearby and killed it.

“Good job, Melly! Come and bring the magic rat corpse here.” Sophia cheered when she saw Melly managed to kill one.

Splash! Splash!

Melly came out and put down the magic rat corpse in front of Sophia. She wagged her tail happily as if saying that she had done a good job.

“Let’s work hard and kill a few more, okay?” Sophia said with a bright smile and rubbed Sophia’s head, the part that had no mud at all. She had to say that she didn’t like to touch these muds unless it was necessary.

“The one with the least kill of the magic rat will be punished to practice an additional 10 sets of training,” Samuel suddenly said when he saw that Sean and Joan planned to paddle.

Hearing this, they were stunned.

“Brother, you’re so strict!”

“Ah, does it mean that I have to kill a few more magic rats?”

Splash!

Joan looked at the magic rat that appeared in front of her and raised her hand to cast a shield barrier while Sean turned to the side and hacked it down.

Slash!

“That’s one!”

“There are still several more.”

“What???”
