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

Chapter 800 Bathing In The Purified Lake

-----

Ding!

[You and your Party have defeated [Miasmic Chimeras (Tier 5)] x147!]

[You and your Party have defeated [Miasmic Demonic Hagfish (Tier 7)] x1!]

[You earned 1.470.000 EXP!]

[With the defeat of the Miasmic Swamp Ruler, youʼve been able to purify the Great Lake. The savannah is beginning to become healthier and more purified…]

[Aquarina] gained 2 Levels, she has reached Level 12/30!]

[Luck] gained 6 Levels, he has reached Level 17/20!]

After the Rulerʼs defeat, the Lake was swiftly purified as well. Aquarina only got two levels out of this, but Luck a whopping 6, well, much less than the 11 he got before, but Iʼm hoping that by the next Miasmic Swamp, heʼll get to max level.

He only needs more levels after all, so we need to work hard and do our best. I did heard the third Miasmic Swamp was near a small hill close to the Ruins where Elise left behind her inheritance, so weʼll get there and probably meet the Gray Fenrir, the current guardian of the savannahs there.

”W-We did it!” Said Mist. ”The Lake is purified! Hmm! The water is tasty!”

”Phew, that took a bit of a toll on me.” Alice sighed.

”Fwaaah…” Naturia sighed. ”But… we did it! Eheheh!”

”It was harder than I imagined, the concentration of Miasma was deadly.” I sighed. ”Well, I hope that with this, the beasts that live in here can get to drink water better now…”

”This Great Lake is different though… I can sense a great deal of Magical Energy within, and also Spiritual Energy. This water is not normal… This Great Lake is a Spirit Water Spring.” Alice explained.

”E-Eh?!” Everyone was left shocked.

”Hahaha, I guess you guys have done it!” My father walked in. ”And as Sylphyʼs Spirit explained, itʼs true. This place used to be a Spirit Water Spring, this water is especially good for making potions.”

”Hmm, well done.” Shade said. ”Now, the last Miasmic Swamp is waiting.”

”Come on, donʼt hurry the kids so fast, grumpy young man.” My uncle laughed. ”Wanna take a dip?” My uncle quickly took off his shoes and walked into the water.

”Well, the waters do have good healing effects.” My father nodded, quickly dipping in. ”Ahhh~ Now this is refreshing! Come on, letʼs take a break before advancing! The dayʼs still going on!”

I guess thereʼs no point in hurrying up, I wanted to try out the water after being purified, so I jumped in right away, bringing Aquarina with me as I dragged her down.

SPLAAAASH!

”H-Hey! Did you had to just throw me in? Hahaha!” Aquarina giggled, splashing water at me. ”Take this and this!”

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

”Take this!” I said, splashing her all over again.

SPLAAASH!

As we played around, Luck was left in the shore looking at the scene. Zack, Mist, and even Celeste and Celica were already playing around, except him.

”Hey wolf boy, come here so I can soak you up a bit.” Celeste giggled.

”E-Eh? B-But…” Luck was a bit timid. ”I…”

He had gone through a lot of things, maybe doing this was unfitting for him after all the things he had to experience… I can tell because Iʼve been in a similar state to him back then.

”Luck! Come on, itʼll be refreshing. Also youʼve got blood all over your fur. Clean it a bit.” I called him.

”I just… I wish Lara was here so we could enjoy things together…” He sighed.

”Aw, what a party pooper you are!” Celeste sighed, conjuring chains made of darkness and grabbing Luck, dragging him into the water.

”UWAAAAH!”

SPLAAAASH!

He was forcefully thrown down.

”Agh! Hey, did you had to do that?!” Luck got rather angry. ”Ugh… My fur always takes a while to dry out…”

”Donʼt worry, weʼll dry it out with magic in a second.” I smiled. ”Relax and have a nice moment! Oh, are there fishies?” I wondered.

”There are! Look!” Aquarina lifted a bubble of water, where a few fishes were caught in.

”Weird, even living beings came back so quickly?” Wondered Mist.

”It must be thanks to Naturia, she imbued the lake with life. Maybe some of the fishes living under the mud were healed, or something?” I wondered. ”Well, whateverʼs the case, they do look fresh, so letʼs catch a few for a snack!”

Like that, we enjoyed a nice few minutes in the lake, even my father, Shade, and my uncle swam around and caught some more fish, even clams, some fresh water crabs, and conchs, even some edible freshwater algae.

After that, we decided to put it all in one big pot, with some more seasonings, and boiled it over, making some tasty ”Lake Treasures Stew”, thanks to my Cooking Skill and the most basic of Cooking Magic Spells I learned from my mother, the stew ended gaining magical properties, further boosting our stats.

”This fishʼs so good, it is so tasty!” Luck said. ”And crab… I never thought these big bugs could have such a soft and white meat inside!” After we dried him out, he was happily eating while waging his tail.

”Hahah, glad youʼre enjoying it.” I nodded. ”See? It wasnʼt too bad to take a dip and then have a nice meal.”

”I guess…” Luck nodded. ”Sorry for acting a bit gloomy.”

”Itʼs fine.” Celeste shrugged. ”Make up for it by being a it better at fighting, youʼre still dragging a lot behind us.”

”I-Iʼll do my best!” Luck nodded. ”I feel like Iʼve gotten a lot stronger now… Itʼs all thanks to your help. Iʼll make sure to repay this by a thousandfold in the future.”

”Hahaha, no need to be so serious, boy. Iʼm just glad youʼre growing stronger.” My father smiled. ”Did Sylphy gave you some sort of help though?”

”A-Ah… Well, she did gave me buffs.” Luck said, as he remembered I told him to hide the System thing for now.

”Yeah, I made sure to give him a lot of buffs with several spells I knew so he would be fully prepared. Some might help him grow faster because he can absorb the ”Essence of Mana” out of the monsters he defeat faster.” I said with a nod. ”His Magic Circle and Physique are developing rapidly.”

”I see…” My father nodded carefreely.

Phew, good thing Luck didnʼt forgot.
