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

Chapter 1325: Entering The Miasmic Nest



I know it might sound corny, some might think its unnecessary, but I had to do it anyways.

It is just who I am, I can't be cold, I can't bring myself to look at another person's life and think they have to serve me or something.

I feel sorry about their situation even if they seem to be happy...

Because even then, they had suffered, and almost died a second time due to my negligence.

And that's why I've made up my resolve, I will protect and guide these people.

"I summoned your souls without your permission," I said. "Yeah, you might have died before, but still... Maybe you could have had a different second life, a better one. I pretty much took that chance away from you, and dragged you into this mess, into my problems... For that, I am deeply sorry. I'll do my best to at least... give you the best life I can."

The two stared at me blankly for a moment, before they gave me their answers.

"There hasn't been a day since my reincarnation that I haven't enjoyed in some way or form," said Ivy with a smile. "Even if I might have almost died back then, and that I got slightly angry because you never showed up... It's fine, Sylphy, really. We are good, relax. I meet Selene, and all these nice plant people... This entire dungeon world is fantastical enough too! I could have only dreamed of living such a carefree life... there's this new threat, but so what? I love this life. And you don't need to apologize to me for reincarnating me. In fact, I wanted to thank you for giving me a second chance."

"Ivy...!" I felt moved by her words.

"Indeed," Bark nodded. "The people of Eden are all good and nice, humble people. They carry lives of honor and family; they love one another and take care of one another. I died of old age, I remember that... and I also recall the loneliness I felt. But now, I am never alone, the people need me, they gather around me. the children, the elderly, the mothers, and fathers... I care about them. I lived a life as a knight, of chivalry and honor, and I shall live my second life carrying such ideals once more, to fight for the innocent and the humble, and to serve my goddess. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you, goddess Sylphy."

"Bark..." I sighed. "Aw, come here you two!"

I ended hugging them both, I couldn't help it. Bark was so hard and pointy with his whole armor, but Ivy was so soft and warm, I liked hugging her more but still, I hugged them both equally.

"Let's solve this annoying problem and then go back home already, okay?" Ivy laughed. "For a goddess you sure are a crybaby."

"I-I'm not a crybaby!" I said. "A-Anyways, let's go then! Preparations seem ready."

"Then let us go!" Bark nodded.

"Wait, Bark, here, let me give you this..." I said.

I quickly materialized a golden shield, pristine and overflowing with divine thunder aura out of thin air, well, I used my metallic blood and dragon scales to build it though.

FLASH!

"There you go." I said, giving him the shield. "I made it using Divine Thunder Armament Materialization. Like your sword, it will give you great protection and strength."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was a permanent type of shield, there are temporary and permanent ones. Temporary are for when you want to enchant some already existing equipment, permanent is when making equipment out of it.

The stats differ and so their power, temporary equipment are more imbued with divine thunder energy and so can unleash more power rapidly, but they disappear after a little while, turning back to normal.

Permanent has more balanced stats, still high and strong, and can gather decent amounts of energy within it.

"A shield!" he gasped. "Thank you so much, goddess Sylphy! I shall treasure it."

He took the shield happily; it was pretty heavy but he could lift it without problems.

Ivy was glaring at me as she expected something similar.

"Give me your bow," I said with a smile.

"Eh?" as she gave it to me.

FLASH!

It quickly changed, becoming gold and white colored, overflowing with a similar aura than Bark's sword and shield.

"There! Was that what you wanted?" I asked.

"Oh my gosh! Yes! It looks all sparkly now!" her eyes shone brightly. "Goblins love sparkly and shiny things, did you know?"

"I-I didn't!" I laughed.

Well, my experience with goblins so far wasn't the best. I don't know about her tribe, but in here they're well known as a barbarian race... of monsters. They aren't even considered people by even the demons.

But I better not tell her this to Ivy, or her heart will break into tiny pieces, she seems very proud of having been a goblin before.

"Sylphy! Are you ready to depart?" wondered my father, calling me from afar.

"Yeah! We're ready! Let's go guys," I said.

With both Ivy and Bark at my left and right side, we moved across the grass which Yggdra healed after it burned, and we regrouped with the rest of our team.

Felicia and my father seemed mostly done with their preparations and cleaning, and Celica and Celeste were ready to depart as well.

"Finally ready?" Celeste asked.

"Yep, let's do it," I nodded.

We moved together as a team, walking towards the forest. The atmosphere slowly darkened and became damp, the interior of the forest, now infected by the miasma, seemed more like a swamp in terms of humidity.

The trees and everything were purple and black, and as we walked around, we purified anything we came into contact, especially with the aid of Yggdra, Naturia, and Alice, it was

very easy.

Eventually, things became eerier as we drew closer to the center of the nest.

We had not encountered a single monster yet, until now, right in front of the nest, a crystallization of miasma forming a cave, there was a last group of monsters ready to confront us, protecting their Miasmic Nest Lord.
