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

Aquarina was still comprehending how her Alchemy Skill worked, apparently it simply stopped being what it was before, gaining new effects that had to do with “Ritualistic Formations” often made by Amazonian Tribes to create Rituals for Harvest, Rain, and Abundance of Prey in the past.

They were often made by scribing a magic circle on the floor and then creating nodes out of this, where special materials infused with a lot of spiritual energies and mana were placed. These formations then would burst out this energy into nature, increasing its vitality in times of hunger or lack of nutrients in the soil.

However, there were also many other ways to use it, especially in the Alchemy she had been learning and mastering on her own… Although Aquarina was not nearly as prodigious over Alchemy as Sylphy, Celica, and Celeste were, even more now that they were being taught by someone like Felicia.

“It should work like this, right?”

She glanced at the formation she had scribed into the stone floor, using the blood of the Sky Eels and the other monsters they had hunted before, such as the Feathered Serpent Wyverns and the Oasis Wyrm.

Once done, she placed the special components, several colorful Spirit Crystals they had harvested from the Oasis’ Jungle, where it was filled with Sunlight, Earth, and Light Attribute Spirit Stones.

The colorful crystals were placed in each node, while Aquarina nodded, connecting the nodes and the runes of the ritualistic formation with her Mana.

“Okay, almost done… Now I need to complete the Ritual Formation by adding our blood… Your blood actually,” said Aquarina. “Can you give me some?”

“Uh, how much?” Justicio wondered.

“Around a small cup?” Aquarina asked. “Or we can’t do this. Ah, don’t worry, Undine will heal the wound later. You have to just eat a lot of food later to recover the nutrients you’ll lose with your blood.”

“Fine, alright,” nodded Justicio, as he grabbed Aquarina’s knife, the only knife tough enough to cut through a Tier 7 person’s skin, as any other knife would immediately lose their sharpness and break otherwise and sliced his palm.

SLASH!

“Ugh… Where do I pour the blood?” asked Justicio.

“Around the circle here, pour it while walking around,” Aquarina guided him.

“Okaay… this sounds really weird for alchemy!” said Justicio, complaining as usual.

“Trust me bro, it’s going to work really well,” Aquarina smiled.

After a couple of minutes, Undine healed Justicio’s hand as the blood was placed correctly around the circle. Once it touched the Mana threads Aquarina had spread, the blood glowed bright red, rapidly activating the formation.

“Alright, we’re ready to start!” Aquarina nodded, looking to be excited.

“{Shamanic Alchemy Arts}: {Ritualistic Formation: Synthesis Strengthening}!”

Aquarina felt the spirits gathering around the entire formation, merging with them from around the nature itself.

They were natural spirits of the world, the ones that Lara would usually control using her special powers. Shamanic Magic could summon them and help a person further connect with nature and the world.

Aquarina connected even further through the Ritualistic Formation, strengthening her powers over Synthesis by using the forces of nature themselves.

Even as strong as Orichalcum was, when the power of nature helped Aquarina, it was bound to be synthetized with other ingredients!

“Let’s begin!”

As she smiled, excited about what was about to happen, Aquarina quickly poured the ingredients into the alchemy cauldron one after another.

FLUOSH!

As she did this, the materials around the formation glowed brightly, beginning to turn into particles of light and further merging with the cauldron’s contents.

As everything happened, Aquarina constantly used various Alchemy Spells and Techniques, such as [Mixing], [Hybridization], [Cooling Down], [Heat Up], and of course, [Synthesis].

Justicio only glanced in silence at the corner of the room, as Aquarina did something he had never seen her do before.

“Woah, she looks like she knows what she’s doing! Damn!”

He didn’t want to admit it, but Aquarina was showcasing just how amazing she truly was, and it only made Justicio a bit frustrated, because he was so lacking in comparison.

He gripped his fists tightly, knowing that once everything is done, he’ll owe a lot to Aquarina… He’ll have to work hard to make up for it.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The Orichalcum was rapidly changing, gaining new colors and becoming softer, more absorbable, that’s what Aquarina wanted anyways.

Until…

FLAAASH!

“It should be done by now!”

Aquarina announced the news, making the half-asleep Justicio smile in excitement.

“Really?! Can we start then?”

“Sure, let’s set up yet another formation then!”

“Eeeh! Another?!”

“Yeah, you have to be patient with these things dude! Also I might need more of your blood.”

“Seriosuly…”

Justicio didn’t like how much blood Aquarina needed out of him, but at the end, he accepted.

And as they worked, Aquarina checked the new Orichalcum.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have synthetized the [Lesser Elemental Orichalcum Ingot (SSS Grade)] x1!]

[You gained a large quantity of Alchemy EXP!]

[Your [Shamanic Alchemy Arts: Lv1] Skill has Leveled up to Level 3!]

“Two levels in a row, this is not bad at all!” Aquarina thought, smiling as she prepared the new formation. “Also it’s Lesser like I wanted it to be.”

Unlike other alchemists would believe, Aquarina was aiming to lower the quality of Orichalcum by adding other elemental properties to it, giving it new effects in exchange for durability.

It still maintained its insane durability to an extent, but it wasn’t as insane anymore, making it possible for Justicio to absorb and combine into his Physique.

“Now… This!”

After placing all the bug carcass parts, their exoskeletons, and various other crystals and metals around the new formation, Aquarina placed the golden colored ingot in the middle of the formation, right in front of the boy.

“So how does this work?” Justicio wondered, looking a bit worried. “Do I just sit here and wait?”

“Yeah, couldn’t have said it better, sit down and wait!” nodded Aquarina. “Over there in the middle of the formation- Yeah, perfect. Let’s begin!”
