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

“Oh wow, this place is beautiful!”

Silvia was surprised about the area they found in the dungeon. It was an enormous hall of perhaps over a hundred meters of width, with an even taller ceiling than the corridor they were walking through.

There were stairs leading inside, but they had been shattered and broken down over time, although it didn’t seem hard to easily jump down and up with their current physical strength and agility anyway.

The most impressive part was, of course, the massive pool of seawater in the middle of this enormous hall, with beautiful pillars sculpted after what resembled fish and octopus holding the enormous ceiling up high, the pool was surrounded by myriads of colorful corals.

They weren’t normal corals though, but coral trees, similar to the ones Aquarina had encountered with her friends back then, they had strange fruits hanging from their branches, which were actually the corals’ polyps.

“I want to take a dip in there!” said Silvia. “It looks nice, isn’t it?”

“Calm down,” said Aquarina. “Don’t move for now, we have to analyze this place. We came here because I felt a lot of presences… so stay there.”

“Eh? Ah right…” Silvia nodded.

“It must be an ancient pool where these people once took baths perhaps?” wondered Agua. “I assume it might have had fresh water instead of salt water, but it got filled with salt water now… Oh, there’s movements beneath the water.”

“I can see them too!” Justicio said. “Over there, something’s coming!”

SPLASH!

Out of the pool, what resembled the head of a crustacean popped out, resembling the head of some sort of giant lobster, with big blue pincers, glancing around with its huge, rainbow-colored eyes.

And then once it saw everyone, it quickly swam back underwater, without appearing again…

“Eh? It’s gone?” asked Pyuku. “Should we go fish it out? It was huge.”

“I don’t think it’s gone…” Aquarina said, holding her daggers. “More like it went to call for his friends.”

“Friends?”

SPLAAASH!

In that very moment, the entire hall trembled, as hundreds of three-meter-big blue lobsters emerged from the massive saltwater pool!

However, they weren’t quite like lobsters, they had four pincers, the first pair was the smallest, the second, covered with blue crystals, seemed magically infused with spiritual energies.

To make things worse, there were even various variants, some were red, others green, and some yellow, overflowing with their own elemental auras.

[A giant swarm of over one hundred [Giant Spirit Crystal Lobsters (Tier 4 ~ 6)] has emerged to defend their breeding grounds!]

As Aquarina read the message, the lobsters rushed towards her party without even letting them react in time! The creatures raised their claws, harnessing mana and firing fireballs, beams of light, ice spears, and even slicing winds.

“What the hell, wizard lobsters?!” Silvia cried.

“I’ve seen crazier stuff,” Aquarian’s Aura surged. “Let’s go!”

She leaped into action, as almost a hundred elemental spells rained upon her entire body, bombarding her with consecutive magical explosions.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, she resisted them all as Dragon Scales were capable of easily reflecting most low-level magic spells, no matter how many they were fired at her.

FLASH!

She moved quickly, piercing through the lobster’s army, which was very scattered and without any order, and swinging her daggers forward as she leaped using Heavenly Step.

“{Abyssal Shadow Dagger Arts}: {Shadow Garden}”

FLUOSH!

Out of nowhere, her Aura expanded into a pseudo domain, covering several dozens of meters around her with the illusion of a garden filled with beautiful, thorny black roses.

However, as the lobsters seemed strangely enthralled by this dark visage…

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Their bodies were instantly sliced apart, exploding into countless of pieces one after another, dozens dying on the spot.

“W-What the hell did she do?!” Silvia asked. “I couldn’t even… she made a garden out of shadows?!”

“From what I’ve learned so far, Shadows as an element have no definitive shape or form, so they can be shaped and transformed into illusions too,” said Justicio. “That garden, did you see how she distracted the monsters for a second? I guess it stops them from attacking for that very second and then cuts them down one they’re within range, and standing still, maybe.”

“Is it really a weapon technique and not just a spell then?!” Silvia complained, finding Aquarina’s overpowered strength too much at times.

“Yeah, but I’ve heard from Svana that once someone masters their elements and fighting styles to the point of a master, it is almost impossible to differentiate their weapon techniques and martial arts from magic itself,” said Justicio. “Silvia, this is our opportunity to break through and get stronger! We have to push ourselves to our limits!”

“Okay!” Silvia nodded. “M-Might as well just do it dammit! Khepri!”

“Gotcha!”

Khepri summoned her mechanical form, wrapping around Silvia as a mechanical, golden and black armor with red colored jewels decorating it.

The armor wasn’t gigantic or encompassed her entire body though, but was equipped around her arms, shoulders, legs, and foot, to enhance her movements and strength.

“{Mechanical Spirit Armor: Strengthening Mode}”

“Woah, you can do this?!”

Justicio, was shocked to see Silvia’s new form.

“We thought about a way to unleash some of Khepri’s power without using too much Mana, so we limited the amount of armor she summons and decided to concentrate it around the arms and legs!” said Silvia. “It’s not exactly for protection, but rather to boost my speed and strength!”

RUMBLE!

Silvia stepped forward, shattering the ground beneath her and leaving Justicio behind, swinging her giant hammer as she spun in midair.

“{Holy Soul Hammer Arts}: {Fiery Smash}!”

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

She evaded incoming magic spell attacks while crushing foes with her massive hammer, making her a threat for the lobsters, who began to rapidly focus on weaker enemies.

“Damn she’s already going to surpass me…”

Justicio quickly furrowed his black eyebrows, as his brown-skinned body was quickly encompassed by a golden insectoid armor, covering most of his body except his face.

“Well, I ain’t letting her do that so easily!”

He rushed forward, swinging his axe at the same time as he faced the lobster monsters, cleaving his way through.

“{Insectoid Axe Arts}: {Rhinoceros Beetle’s Horn}!”

By spinning forward and thrusting the axe to the front, his aura shaped, becoming black and resembling a rhinoceros beetle, impaling through dozens of monsters at once!

CRAAASH!
