Chapter 648 - 457: Trouble Comes to the Home (Part 1)
Malin’s wait ended after ten minutes—the messenger from the Church gave Malin a reason he had to leave first.
"Excuse me, miss, I have something to do. Please keep the manuscript here and have your boss take a look when he’s free," said Malin as he placed the manuscript on the counter and smiled farewell to everyone.
After leaving the hall, he opened his umbrella and quickly left the restricted area. Then, he opened a teleportation passage and arrived at the Church of the War God’s armory with precise coordinates.
The Punishers of the Church of the War God were preparing their weapons. Malin saw Marian, who looked even more haggard than before.
"What’s happened, messenger? The report said there were creatures resembling rats sighted in the new district?" Malin asked, approaching the elderly man and noticing his left arm was broken, with blood seeping out from the bandages.
"Yes, the children stumbled upon giant rats coming out of the sewers while they were rat catching. A team of children, led by a tutor, went inside and encountered those creatures. Three children died, the tutor held them off, and of the remaining four, only one escaped," Marian, the Bishop, gestured to the child not far away.
Approaching the boy, Malin noticed he seemed terrified and was somewhat incoherently repeating words like ’Rat-man’ and ’monster that eats people.’ Malin frowned and turned to Marian, "You didn’t use a spell formation?"
"We did, but it’s like something has damaged her brain; we are powerless," a Church Healer quickly chimed in.
"May I try?" asked Malin, adding, "But let me say this first, this child may suffer more from what I do, but I must understand everything as quickly as possible."
