Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?-Chapter 699 Freeing The Farms From Pests
-----
"Phew, I never thought that the young lady herself would come here to resolve our problem!" Alicia laughed loudly as she invited us to her house to have some tea.
"I just want to help out the city as much as I can." I said. "My mother gave me a few tasks to complete so I have to do them even if I didn't wanted to- Ah, not like I don't want to, I am all willing, and for free too, so don't think of paying us."
"Really?! Oh my, you're such an angel!" Alicia laughed. "Now, let me explain what's going on in here… It has been roughly over a week since they started showing up. They're big, ugly moles with star-shaped noses and big claws. They're big! Most of them are around three meters of height, and incredibly resilient, even my pop's sword techniques nor my sis' magic were able to take them down. They're probably around Tier 3 at least."
"I see, any patterns you've found them do? Do you just think they might be living underground the crops?" I wondered.
"There's no real pattern! They just come and eat everything and disappear, and when we regrow new crops using magic or items, they show up to eat them again! It is frustrating. At this point the city's food is going to begin shortening more and more." Sighed Alicia.
"This problem seems way more important than our previous two tasks…" Said Celeste. "We should had done this earlier, Sylphy!"
"Y-Yeah, I was just trying to go in order…" I sighed. "So anyways, let's get to it. I think I've figured out a way to bring them all out at once."
Once we arrived at the fields, we were able to see them all completely destroyed. Barely any of the crops were looking fine, hundreds of meters of crops all destroyed.
"T-This is really awful…" Zack sighed.
"Well, can't we do something with magic?" Wondered Mist.
"We've tried to regrow them quickly using magic but the crops were eaten so fast we gave up. We also don't have much Mana to regrow so many plants everywhere all around here…" Alicia said.
I suppose normal people, even the strong elves of Agartha, didn't had as much Mana as to be capable of regrowing entire crops and stuff, for dozens of kilometers. If I didn't resolve this problem myself I can guess my mother would had come here and done it herself eventually.
"Then what's the big plan?" Asked Celeste.
"Just you wait." I said with a smile, channeling millions of units of Mana into my hands and then conjuring a simple Earth Attribute spell.
"Tier 3 Earth Attribute Magic: [Seismic Wave]"
TRUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM….!
An enormous wave of sound reached the ground, making the entire place tremble completely. The farmers all panicked, running away from the area while I continued pushing more and more waves, until…
RUMBLE!
The ground suddenly began opening all around us, dozens of enormous black-furred moles appeared one after the other. They were dozens- no, hundreds?! So many monsters were making their life in here!
"GRUOOOHHHHHH!"
These monsters were Tier 3 "Giant Moles" and were said to be "destroyer of crops" and one of the worst pests that a kingdom could ever have. I've read they have caused whole kingdoms to fall due to eating away all the crops, and usually… they come with a big boss.
TRUUUUMMM…!
A larger than the rest mole appeared. This one was over ten meters tall, and with sharp, metallic-like claws and a star-shaped nose. It had sharp, red eyes.
"That must be their boss, a Tier 4 Giant Mole King." I analyzed. "Alright everyone, let's do what we do the best!"
"Alright!"
As we charged into battle, a new quest popped up.
Ding!
[A New [Special Quest] Has Been Generated: [Defeat the Giant Moles and slay their leader, the Giant Mole King!]
[The reason behind the sudden loss of crops in the city is all due to these pesky Giant Moles that probably came from the outside through their underground tunnels! Quickly defeat them all and free the farmland from their pesky existences. Don't let your city starve!]
[Completion Rewards: [500000 EXP] [250000 Shared EXP] [Spirit Tree Crystalized Sap (C Grade)] x4 [Earth Spirit Essence Potion (C Grade)] x3 [???] x1]
[Time Limit: 1 Hour]
Oh, these are some brand new items I haven't seen before. I guess I should take them while I am at it. Everyone jumped into battle faster than I though.
"RAAAAH! [Thunderous Tempest]!" Zack roared, swinging his two axes, which have been repaired and enchanted in the smithy as he unleashed slicing attacks that generated deadly windstorms and lightning attacks.
CLAAAASH! CLAAAAASH!
The moles were cut apart and electrocuted one after the other. He seemed slightly salty after losing to Aquarina in their sparring session so I guess he was letting out the frustration.
"[Explosive Shining Arrows]!" Mist continued to improve her archery abilities and accuracy, pointing magic arrows made of her light element against the faraway moles and hitting their noses and mouths before the magic arrows were to explode, taking down a few by herself.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Alright, let's make this quick! [Endless Night Swarm]!" Celeste laughed evilly, sitting over her flying demonic spear as if it were a flying broom and raising her arms, an endless swarm of thousands of giant bats made of her shadows emerged, swarming several Moles at once.
"Time to try out my new abilities…" Aquarina smiled, as her arms, legs, and neck were suddenly covered in blue and silver dragon scales, and she grew a long and pointy spear-tipped blue-scaled dragon tail resembling that of a sea snake, it even had gills and fins.
"[Sea Dragon Tail Trident]!"
By combining her previously learned magics and techniques, she utilized her long Sea Dragon Tail as a trident, covering it in hardened ice and water and unleashing countless piercing attacks against her foes. The moles started falling into the ground one after the other incessantly.
CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAAASH!
Meanwhile, I jumped to fight the boss straight in, while my Aura started flickering around, transforming into a ferocious, blazing dragon.
"[Yggdragon's Wrathful Tyrant Aura]!"
