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

Chapter 650 Entering The Hidden Room

-----

Within the depths of the Dungeon, eight menacing red-colored eyes glanced down at Sylphy and her friends exploring yet another Hidden Room. The creatureʼs eyes glanced at the scene with utter fascination and joy.

”Incredible… to think they would find the second room already!” Spoke a malefic voice, coming the very being that has been watching them since they entered the dungeon, from the hidden depths within. ”It is just as our Evil Goddess has predicted, her webs of fate are never wrong, she, the one given the divine protection by the three nymphs has come!”

The entity glanced as the children entered deeper into the dungeonʼs second hidden room, about to find new treasures which this entity, and many of its multi-eyed allies have been trying to get for their Master for a while.

”YES! Keep finding more, MORE! And come down… bring me the relics to me, foolish children! Oooh, our Great Lady shall be so happy upon learning that Iʼll bring her not only the Relics she desires, but the heads of the future heroes!”

With great joy and a malefic nature befitting of monsters, the creature glanced the children explore the secret depths of this dungeon, patiently awaiting their prompt descent into their lair.

(Sylphyʼs POV)

The cold and silver-colored corridors shone with bright blue runes. They appeared as we walked through the corridor. They were not exactly guiding us, but Aquarina. They reacted to her whenever she touched the walls, as if greeting her.

Sometimes, spheres of blue mana would emerge, finding her and embracing her. For a moment, it felt as if the entire ruins were alive, and were greeting her back, as if they had been missing her, even when she had never visited this place.

I donʼt know if the three nymphs ever intended this to begin with, but it seems to be a new way to ”hack” these ruins by utilizing the powers of the divine protections of the gods we got. Perhaps it wouldnʼt be within the realm of impossibility for me to find an abandoned temple of the goddess of light and sight, or perhaps of the gods of fire.

But for now, it seemed that the spotlight was all on Aquarina, and I was rather happy of that. Perhaps if we complete this whole place, sheʼll get even stronger by receiving some sort of ancient relic.

We only got this monolith, some sort of key, but we might finally get something different in here.

Or well, I hope.

”Look, another door?”

We stopped in front of yet another door, this one was smaller, but seemed completely made of Divine Metal, the same material those golems I fought back then were made of. This one had no indicative of a where to place the key though.

However, Aquarina ”felt” something. She walked in silence in front of the gate and touched it, and then she held the relic in her hands. Seconds later, the gate reacted. Countless runes emerged all around, as the gates opened magically.

CREAAAK…!

As the doors opened, we entered the room, an incredibly vast cave. There were shiny crystals on top of the ceiling, growing there after so many years absorbing the mana. Even new ores grew, derived by the higher quality metal which degraded over eons.

And within this immense cave, in the middle of it all, an enormous nest rested. It was made of blue crystals, and not just water spirit stones. They were… Aquarium Crystals! It is the crystal Iʼve been looking for, a B Grade Water Attribute crystal.

However, that wasnʼt the really important part of this… This was definitely a nest, like the ones you see egg-laying monsters or animals make, and this one was fully composed of colorful crystals. In the middle of everything, there was an egg.

The egg was as big as one meter, and was completely covered on blue scales so shiny and glossy they resembled jewels.

”An egg?” Wondered Aquarina.

”Thatʼs certainly an egg, alright.” Celeste said. ”Wait, doesnʼt this reminds you of how we found Nephi?”

”Hmm… No, this is different. This egg is not merely to contain a relic.” Said Nephi. ”There is a living being there- or well, there was.”

”Indeed, I canʼt sense any life energy from it, that eggʼs fossilized.” I sighed.

”That is indeed a Dragon Egg! I think it is a Water Dragon Egg, though its quality and power… It is nothing like that Sea Snake! This is probably the egg of a True Dragon, not a Lesser Dragon. Sadly, its already dead. It is quite a pity that it was never able to hatch.” Ignatius said.

”Huh…” Zack scratched his chin. ”Well, canʼt it be used as a material at least?”

”Hey donʼt just say that out of the blue!” Aquarina sighed. ”Though…”

Her blue eyes began shining a bit, as her hand showed a mark, resembling three Nymphs holding hands and making a circle.

”This egg… it feels like it is calling me.”

Aquarina slowly walked towards the egg, as her spirits and familiar emerged out of her Soul Scape. Undine seemed slightly curious, while her second Familiar, Leviathan junior, was the most attracted to the egg.

Meanwhile, Pyuku seemed afraid, stepping back without wanting to mess with that for some reason…

”Aquarina, wait!” I said, quickly trying to stop her.

She looked almost hypnotized by the presence of this egg, and it made me feel as afraid as Pyuku was!

However, before I could stop her, she touched it.

FLAAAASH!

Before anything else could be seen, we were brought… somewhere else.

Our surroundings changed, turning completely black, and then, showing moving images depicting the ancient past.

It was much like it happened with the first hidden room. These images showed things we had not seen before, but that were things that happened in the past.

Related to the three Nymph goddesses, and their servants, the Aquatic Anima.

”W-What is this?! Another projection?” Zack wondered.

”T-This is…!” Celeste muttered.

”Look!” Mist pointed out.
