Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

—–

The ruin’s metallic walls were covered on Sunstone growing everywhere. The more we moved forwards, the more we felt unease, this feeling was coming from the depths of the ruins.

The ruins had the ceiling broken up to a certain point, but the further we went, the darker it became, the only light coming from the sunstones.

My mom quickly conjured a few rotating lights, illuminating the path for us…

“This place, it is definitely another ruin of the gods.” My mother stopped her path, caressing the walls. “This metal, which is so hard to extract and process, it is definitely a type of Orichalcum.”

“Orichalcum?” Wondered Mist.

“It is a Divine Metal designed by the Gods, it has an incredibly potent and heavy molecular structure, which is very hard to process without using Divine Power.” My mother explained. “Because of its structure, it is thought to be tough enough to survive extreme conditions beyond the stars. It is what makes up most of the Gods’ ruins and also their fallen arcs.”

“The arcs are what some would call their airships, which they used to travel through the stars.” Explained Shade. “You have yet to meet one, but there’s a ruined arc in the middle of the desert of this continent.”

An arc, Alice called these “spaceships” and said humans in Earth had also designed them to an extent… I think.

“However, there seems to be something else here.” My mother pointed at some letters. “I am not that good at reading the language of the Gods but… These letters, do they mean: Artificial… Star… Testing… Center?”

“It does say that.” Pyuku confirmed it. “Artificial Star Testing Center…”

“Wait, what?” Asked Aquarina. “Does this mean that they were really trying to build a star in here?!”

“Maybe…” Said her mother. “But why? I have no idea. How could an artificial star ever beat the first Demon King anyways?”

“Hmm…” Shade was thinking about something. “Let’s continue for now, Faylen. We could find more clues further on.”

“You’re right.” My mom nodded. “Let’s resume our exploration then.”

As we walked across the many corridors we found, the amount of sunstones never decreased. However, we started seeing corpses trapped inside of them.

Or well, only the bones. However, Lara said that this place had almost no spirits, it seemed that there was a dark, malefic aura that drove them away.

“I can’t sense any buddy here… This place’s atmosphere… It is scary, nobody wants to get here.” Lara sighed, feeling weaker.

“Are you feeling alright?” Asked Luck. “Don’t worry, I’m here for you.”

“Luck…” Lara sighed, smiling gently. “I’m fine don’t worry! I can always summon them here to help me out too, though it is not as convenient as them being present beforehand.”

The uneasiness became clearer for all of us once we reached halfway through, when we found something rather… shocking, alongside more text engraved in the walls.

There was something stopping our path, an enormous mass of sunstone growth covering the entire passage, within, there were dozens of skeletons.

And there was a text, not engraved through the God’s technology, but sharply written on the hard metal by some sort of… claws.

“This is…” My mother stepped back, reading it.

“What does it say?” I asked her.

“It says… The horrors… of the Gods… shall… be… punished… eternal glory to… death?” My mother was confused. “What… does this means?”

RUMBLE!

However, in that very moment, the walls in front of us started to move, the crystals shifted, the skeletons inside lighted up their empty eye sockets with black flames.

“GROOOHHHHH…!”

And the entity blocking our path awakened… A powerful pressure of darkness surged from within it, forcing us to step back even further.

TRUUUUUMMM…!

My mother quickly conjured a barrier of light in front of us, protecting us from the immense pressure and the aura of the creature.

Its shapeless body took some sort of shape, resembling a multi-limbed, aberration with many screaming human-like faces, a long and sharp tail, and giant claws at the end of its nine limbs.

“GRAAAHHH! PAIN…! IT HURTS…! IT’S AGONIZING! YOU… YOU GODS…! WHY?! WHY?!”

The creature screamed, dozens of souls agonizing in unison at the same time… An accursed existence, much stronger than the Sunstone Treant we fought before…

Ding!

[You’ve alerted the [Sunstone Aberrant Chimera (Tier 9)]!]

[The resentful souls it is made up are in constant and endless agony! The Sunstone fuels itself through their Fear, Pain, and Distress, growing its Aura even further…]

[All its Stats have further increased by +100%! A barrier that negates 90% of Damage has been erected around its body.]

Ninety percent damage negation?! Are you kidding me?

FLUOSH!

A mighty barrier similar to the one the Sunstone Plateau Goats could create emerged, covering the entire aberration as it started to rapidly rush towards us.

“You will all pay… WITH YOUR LIFE!”

As the creature rushed towards us, my father and Shade greeted it with their weapons and techniques.

“Not so fast, buddy.”

“Don’t be so eager.”

My father swung his Divine Sword, unlashing a devastating explosion of consecutive slashes made of Draconic Divine Flames, resembling a tornado of fire.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Meanwhile, Shade swung his dagger, releasing a scythe-shaped technique that could sever through anything!

SLAAASSHH!!

“GRAAAH!” frёewebηovel.cѳm

BOOOMMM!!!

Both powerful attacks reached the creature, its body receiving some damage, as its pieces fell off… But it seemed it barely took any damage, the barrier covering its body was the real deal.

“No damage? Are you kidding me?” My father looked at his own weapon. “Oi, what’s the meaning of this?”

“Ugh, can’t you be smart enough to figure this out yourself?!” The sword talked back. “That guy obviously has a divine barrier! It most likely can conjure such power because it was an experiment made by the Gods.”

“Divine Barrier?!” My father was shocked, seconds before a giant claw were to almost reach him.

CRAAAASSHH!!

However, he evaded it by a hair, looking at the creature approach him again.

“PAY WITH YOUR LIFE!”

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

My father gracefully evaded the attacks or blocked them with his sword, while sighing.

“Oh well, looks like we’ll need some backup! Younglings, can you fight?”

We were more than ready!

“Sure!”
