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



-----

As we reached the Lake, we quickly flew down with Furoh. Reaching the starting point of the Rocky Valley. We came here looking for two crystals, fire, and water spirit stones, and also to hunt some critters here and there, that's all.

The actual challenge starts in the Dungeon we are about to enter, and this one is an actual dungeon and not just abandoned ruins with monsters inside. However, as they haven't been tempered by the ancient wizard that father mentioned back then in the Eastgrain Dungeons, it doesn't have "channels", we can enter and just get inside and fight the monsters there freely.

This also means that the Evil God of Dungeons has a greater authority over this Dungeon… We could be afraid and just step away, but I am not that kind of person. The power he can exert over the Dungeons themselves is small, he needs catalyzers and those that worship him to bring and use special items.

Dungeon breaks cannot happen all the time whenever he wishes for, or the world would already be swallowed by his monsters. I've already explored dungeons before around here with friends, nothing bad ever happened. I am hoping the same… but if something bad ever happens, then I'm going to storm the place and use my newly evolved curse to intimidate him.

Also, Nephi's here. That she got a connection with the gods and somewhat carries "divine power" within her makes her special as well. Maybe she could be like our bodyguard against godly forces, even if a bit, she's also qualified as a "living weapon" so maybe the Evil Gods won't be so dumb to attack us with their tricks as before so upfront.

"This place's big… and beautiful." Nephi sighed. "I've never seen something this huge before… So many monsters and life as well…"

"Woooah! Woooaaaah! Oooooh!" Zephy was looking everywhere in surprise as we made our way through the Rocky Valley with Furoh taking care of our backs by looking from behind. For easy movement he became a Fenrir once more.

Meanwhile we all had our Spirits and Familiars out. Pyuku was protecting Aquarina too, sitting over her head, while our spirits floated around as well. I had the most spirits too, so everyone looked at me with a bit of surprise as if I was trying to show off a bit…

"Alright, we're finally here… You guys remember that we are here to find two materials, after that and beating some monsters for their materials, we'll go to the dungeon right away, that's where we can find the Mithril, the most Water-type monster materials, and also the Aquarius Crystal." I said with a nod.

"I didn't had any idea there was Mithril in this place." Celeste said. "But if only the boss room can have it then yeah, it is certainly not something anybody can come to harvest. We also got here quickly thanks to your familiar, walking all the way here, or even moving through carriage would take a few hours, the distance's certainly big."

"Aquarius Crystal… Can I have some?" Wondered Aquarina. "I think it might resonate with my magic circle and physique if I use absorb its essence."

"Sure, I guess you can have them. Have you been absorbing water spirit stones I gave to you?" I asked her.

"Yeah they're all empty already!" Sighed Aquarina. "Thanks for the gift, they're really nice to help me grow stronger."

Magic Ores had a special ability, well, most magic imbued materials with elements. Once we learn Alchemy and other advanced magics, it is possible for people to "absorb" the essence of materials. It take some time and it is often easier to just make potions out of them like Aquarina has been doing in between absorbing them, but it pretty much allows us to also grow stronger by drawing power from these materials.

They can become a few extra runes in our magic circle or enchant our physique and make us physically stronger. Of course, if there weren't restrictions everyone would be powerful. A specific magic circle is needed for the [Essence Absorption] Spell, and the materials that can be absorbed are dependent in our stronger elemental affinities.

If someone boldly attempts to absorb something too strong that has an affinity that is not good with them, they'll die or suffer terrible backlash. I haven't tried it myself because if I receive backlash my soul could weaken and that's the least I want to do.

The safer method is, of course, to just process the materials and turn them into consumable potions and elixirs, such as the dragon essence elixir!

"Certainly, if I can get you Aquarius Crystals, you could grow stronger way faster." I nodded. "But for now, let's go there, look!"

I pointed at the distance, there was a large, red-colored crystal growing from the ground, it shone brightly with a fiery, red aura. It was a Fire Spirit Crystal! And a giant one at that. I'll just mine the areas around it and take a dozen chunks before leaving, I guess.

"Oh, there's a fire magic stone there!" Said Mist.

"It is so shiny!" Celica said.

"Should I mine it for you?" Zack wondered.

"Nah! This time I'm not going to rely on Zack, I'll mine them myself using my own pickaxe!" I said, taking out a big, shiny pickaxe from my Dimensional Bag.

The pickaxe was one I had made myself, enchanted with the [Digging] Spell the most, it has an extra powerful strike against all sorts of ores and crystals, and it's the best at digging as well!

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

C R A A A S H!

The moment I hit the crystal three times, enormous chunks of crystal began falling from its body into the ground, making a bit a noisy sound.

"Oooh, these are big!"

As I stored them happily, the rumble of enormous monsters approaching could be heard from behind…

"GRUOOORRR!"

"Eh? What the heck are those things?!"
