Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Rats Extermination (5)
Sophia chuckled when she saw Joan fuming on the side.

She could see that Joan was not exactly suitable to fight these magic rats, but she was learning how to sense and reacted to their attack. Her casting spell had gotten faster under this stimulation.

It was clear that this battle had helped them to grow in one way or another.

Though, everyone definitely wanted to curse Samuel.

Who made this man so strict with them?

It was really tiring.

Joan ignored Samuel and focused on meditating. Unlike Amelia and Sean who would be disturbed in just a short while after they start meditating, Joan could meditate for a long time without losing her focus.

It seemed that she didn’t have much problem to meditate for a long time when it was necessary.

“I have finished marking.” Ruben stood up with satisfaction when he saw that they were done.

Riya looked over and nodded. “You can install the ordinary fences first. This is the arrangement. I have finished making the first set and you can install the fences first in this order. I’ll check it later.”

Riya had drawn the arrangement and the size for these fences. Formation required precision and there were times when the formation wouldn’t work because the drawing was wrong. Because of that, Riya had to be careful when she arranged these fences.

Ruben took the drawing and after inspecting it carefully, he nodded. “Alright, I’ll do it as fast as possible.”

“Ok.”

Riya lowered her head and continued to draw the runes. There were a lot of runes that she has to draw and it was honestly quite tiring. If it was not because she was already a rank 4 magician, Riya might not be able to handle such intense drawing.

“If you run out of mana, you can rest first,” Samuel reminded when he saw that Riya had drawn a lot of formations.

“It’s fine.” Riya shook her head and then looked at the others. “Everyone is working hard and the sooner this finished, the better it would be for us.”

“It’s true.” Samuel nodded.

Looking at how Riya continued to keep drawing, Samuel didn’t bother her anymore and looked over to the other.

Splash!

“Sophia, can’t you let Melly go run around in other locations?” Amelia really felt troubled by Melly’s presence.

Well, more like she was troubled because Melly kept on splashing the water.

“Haha, Melly, come here.” Sophia laughed and called Melly over. The field was quite vast and there was truly no need for them to compete in a single place. Melly has been running around the field and came to Amelia’s side.

Amelia heaved a sigh of relief when Melly was gone.

She sat on the edge and sighed deeply.

“Melly has so much energy… I’m not going to lose, am I?”

Thinking that she would have to add more punishment if she were to lose, Amelia was tempted to go back to the field and started running once more. She had the feeling that if she were to relax, her brother and Joan would definitely work hard and surpass her.

That couldn’t do.

‘Hmm?’

Splash!

Seeing the faint movement in the field, Amelia swung her sword almost reflexively.

Slash!

*squeak!*

Hearing the voice, Amelia nearly jumped up and she saw that there were two more magic rats. Her eyelids twitched, but she quickly attacked once more in the angle that would hit the two of them right away.

Slash! Swish!

One of them hit right away but the other one got away.

*squeak!*

The loud squeaking sound made Amelia frown. When she saw the magic rat coming over, she quickly made the counterattack shield.

Bang!

‘Damn! This magic rat is stronger than before…’

Amelia was stunned and then ran towards her brother without hesitation. Even if this meant that she would be punished, she would still run to her brother when facing stronger magic rat.

“Brother!”

Samuel saw Amelia being chased by the magic rat and his lips twitched. This was already the second time in just a short few minutes.

Swish! Slash!

With a swung of his sword, Samuel killed the magic rat behind Amelia. He crouched down and looked at the magic rat. “It’s a mutated rank 1 magic rat.”

“Mutated magic beast?” Amelia asked in confusion.

“Some magic beasts are stronger than the others at the same rank,” Samuel replied. “This is usually caused because they have some mutation, better genes, or even because of some treasures. But for easier identification, they’re usually called as mutated magic beast.”

This mutated magic rat was only rank 1 magic beast, but the power was a bit stronger than ordinary magic rat.

Samuel looked at his sister who had run back to pick the two magic rats corpses that she has killed not long ago. Amelia’s skills were indeed good enough for her to be able to kill the magic rat with only her sword, but it wouldn’t be good for her to remain this way where she had almost no mana at all.

“You won’t get punished this time,” Samuel added when Amelia added the magic rat’s corpses to her pile.

“Yes! You’re the best, Brother!”

Samuel waved his hand, not caring too much about Amelia’s nonsense. She has always scolding him in secret, thinking that he couldn’t hear it. But when she did something that was more to her favor, she would praise him without hesitation.

Such double standard.

There was no point in listening to her nonsense praises.

“Mel, you should recover your mana first.” Riya saw that Amelia’s mana has bottomed up after using another magic spell. If this continued, Amelia might faint midway and it has already reached the dangerous line.

“Eh, but…”

“Recover your mana first. Even if you rest for a bit, it’ll be fine.”

“This…” Amelia thought for a moment and then nodded. “Ok.”

She was worried that her brother and Joan would hunt much more than her, but in the end, she knew that she had to recover her mana.
