Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 345

Chapter 345: Weapon
After being beaten up by his sword twice, Samuel kept his soul sword away. He didn’t want to be beaten up thrice. At the same time, he asked RIya to delay recovering his injury until they were done with the accumulation of mana metal ore.

Otherwise, his sword might be dissatisfied and come to beat him up again.

Thankfully, Samuel’s mining ability was really strong and it didn’t take long for them to dig out the mana metal ores. It was just that… some of the ores were broken down to small pieces and Riya could only stare at Samuel.

“This is my first time mining,” Samuel said weakly.

Riya shook her head. “Forget it. It’s just a bit troublesome if it’s so small that it’s nearly at dust size.”

She didn’t really want to collect mana metal dust… it was a bit troublesome to bring around.

Using a rank 2 space storage scroll, Riya collected all of these mana metal ore and then separated two rank 1 space storage scrolls to hand over to Samuel.

“This is half of them. Remember our deal.”

“Of course.” Samuel grinned.

After it was done, they headed to the tunnels and planned to take a look at the areas around. Climbing up again was also an option, but it would be better to use this chance to hunt a few more magic beasts.

Swish! Slash!

With the hunt of the magic beasts, Samuel’s sword calmed down and no longer wanted to beat him up. Even after Riya healed Samuel, the sword didn’t act up again.

After all, the sword was still under Samuel’s order.

It was only if it was provoked and misused would it move against Samuel and beat him up. But in normal time, the sword is Samuel’s greatest reliance and also the reliable comrade.

“I thought swordsman will treat their swords like their wife,” Riya commented as they walked back to the camp.

It would take some time but the two of them were not that worried.

Peter was still there and with his strength, most of these magic beasts were not his opponent at all.

“I’m single,” Samuel replied and rolled his eyes. He patted the sword’s side and said, “I treasured my sword, yes, but a sword is also a weapon and tool to use. As much as I would like to treasure it, I can’t possibly treat it like how I treat people.”

If something were to happen to his sword, Samuel would be heartbroken, but he could accept it. Because he knew that a sword is a weapon for him to use, especially to kill and to cut through the obstacles in front of him.

Naturally, Samuel would treat it well.

He took care of his sword and cleaned it up, but at the same time, he would also use his sword when he needed it.

So in Samuel’s opinion, it was not appropriate to call it his wife.

It was more like his close comrade that fought side by side with him… and also had to be taken care of to exert its greatest power.

“A weapon…” Riya murmured under her breath and nodded absent mindedly.

“Don’t worry, it’s also my treasured weapon and I’ll never abandon it unless I have no other choice but to do so,” Samuel added. This weapon had come with him from that world and then came here.

It has became very weak because it was bound to his soul.

And what he wanted to do the most was to collect enough treasure to strength his weapon. Because only in this way would it be possible for him to exert his greatest strength.

He’s a magic warrior but most importantly, he’s a swordsman.

And a swordsman needed to be paired up with a good sword to be able to exert his power the best.

“Do you want to reforge and reinforce it?” Riya suddenly asked.

Her world required her to give mana to it if it wanted to grow and the mana requirement in the future was bound to be very big. After all, if it wanted to become a complete world, a large amount of mana is necessary.

Other people who returned from that world should have some kind of treasure bound to them too.

For Samuel, it’s a sword.

And if Riya was not wrong, this type of sword could become stronger through ‘reforging’ with valuable metal. Or it might be consumed by the sword directly.

Riya was not sure.

“I do need to reinforce the sword, but there’s not enough valuable metals,” Samuel replied. “Mana metal ore is indeed valuable, but it’s not good enough.”

He had been searching for some valuable metals in Green Planet before the earthquake happened. But only some of them were of use to his sword. It was also useless to collect so much because his sword was very picky and only took a bit of some valuable metals that he had collected.

The rest?

It was useless.

If he wanted to increase his sword’s rank, he might need to roam around these tunnels to get more valuable metal ores.

“I see.” Riya nodded.

For a moment, she wondered what kind of treasure that Peter brought with him. If it was Murin, it was obviously that flute of beast.

As Riya was thinking, the two of them finally returned to the group again.

Amelia, Sean, and the others were busy training while the researchers were busy with their research. The few guards were still guarding around and Peter was standing at the forefront, yawning.

“You’re finally back,” Peter complained when he saw Samuel and Riya coming back. “Switch place with me. I need to sleep.”

“Have I left for a long time?” Samuel suddenly asked. He felt that he didn’t seem to have gone that long ago.

“One day or so?” Peter replied and then shrugged. “Anyway, I need to sleep, so you take charge of the guarding task.”

Without waiting for Samuel to reply, Peter walked back to his tent.
