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

464 The Trust Of A Mother

CLASH!

CLASH!

CLASH!

The sound of Lilith’s claws piercing through the barrier resonated across the entire noble district. Her wicked laughter was annoying to hear, and her enormous body and presence only made things more horrible to bear. My mother’s Light Mirage Clones constantly attacked her, fusing herself with her Light Spirits to give her greater power in battle.

Of course, her real body was here in the safety of the barrier. However, her barrier was constantly shattering and reconstructing itself. My mother’s Mana was incredibly vast but she had been forced to spend almost all of it through these last desperate minutes of battle. I already feed her another two more Leaves of Life, leaving me only a few.

She was growing more tired, and although the leaves kept her up, that wouldn’t last forever. I had to intervene. But how can I even do something? I was currently helping Aquarina, Zack, and Ninhursag in defeating the surrounding demons that began hitting the barrier. Thanks to mother’s enhancement buff magic, we were able to unleash stronger magic, and our spirits were able to hit harder. Even Pyuku was unleashing his power as storms of fireballs and arrows began firing out of his own body from the abilities he had copied from the goblins he ate.

However, that’s not enough, my mother was clearly losing against Lilith. My father was fighting against Berith and seemed that both were almost equal in power, and Agni was furiously fighting against Astaroth, who seemed to be able to heal from burn wounds by shedding off his scales like a snake does… Meanwhile Shade and Nepheline are chasing around the pillars of the Miasmic Domain to destroy it and weaken both monsters and demons, while also stopping the Dungeon Breaks from occurring.

Nevertheless, my mother is the one struggling the most, only capable of hitting Lilith using her Mirages, which seem to do absolutely no damage. Exorcism doesn’t work in such a powerful demon either. Lilith seems packed with demonic energy, probably a benefit of being a high ranked demon that has the title of “Duchess of Hell” and even a “Concubine of the King of Hell, Lucifer”. She’s not someone that can be dealt with easily.

.....

Meanwhile, Mary, the Lord of this Fiefdom, and Mist are unconscious after seeing so many scary things, and were lying over the ground right now, behind mother. To make things worse, if mother grows too exhausted to the point the Leaves of Life have no more effect on her, the barrier might break and everything will be lost.

I… I didn’t made a contract with Agni to merely help him, I also acquired a lot of power, and this momentary change in my body… It all means only one single thing, that I have the power to make a change now.

But can I really defeat Lilith?

No… it is impossible.

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t.

But if I receive my mother’s aid in healing and buff spells, and even barriers…

There might be to be some possibility.

But would my mother let me go? She had always been so overly protective with me, and with justification. After all I am eight years old, almost nine now, but still, I am far too young to jump into battle like this. However, the situation is dire.

“Mom!” I said, as I looked at my mother gritting her teeth. I looked back into my own scaly hands, the long claws I had, even the new tail and my little wings, and even the horns atop my forehead. My red hair that seemed to be made of flames… I was too powerup to just waste this opportunity!

My mother seemed to have read my mind, sighing.

“I know what you’re thinking about, Sylph… But no, I can’t let you-”

“But we are going to die before Shade or Nepheline can come to help us! You’re about to collapse, the leaves are no longer effective, right?”

“Ungh…”

My mother gritted her teeth, as the barrier suddenly began to gain more and more cracks, they were healing way too slow now, and Lilith knew that, suddenly beginning to laugh, as she raised her enormous arms and began loading a gigantic sphere of darkness and demonic energy of red color.

“Fufu, I guess you’re about to perish now. Here, this is my farewell gift for you, hero!” Lilith laughed, suddenly launching the sphere towards us.

“MOM!” I cried, as my mother quickly began to cry.

“BUT SURVIVE! Okay?! Don’t… DIE!” She cried.

“As long as you help me, I can assure you I won’t die!” I roared back at her, as scales suddenly began to grow more and more over my body, forming a natural Draconic Armor. The Scales merged with my own equipment as well, covering me with them, even my sword began to change shape, growing twice as large! Is this the true power of a fully awakened Beast Spirit?!

“Alright… alright!” My mother cried. “Here, my last power, take it all!”

FLAAASH!

Without any other options, my mother desperately imbued every other buffing magic spell she knew, as my entire body began to feel incredibly powerful, an aura of magic and draconic force started to emerge, as a furious dragon roared from within my own aura.

“ROOOAARRRR!”

“T-This is incredible…” My mother muttered. “Even if temporary, the contract with the dragon really made you strong… Alright, I’ll aid you with barriers and healing magic, Sylph, remember everything I and your father have taught you until now!”

My mother suddenly hugged me, kissing my forehead.

“I love you.”

“I love you too! I’ll come back right away!”

I gave a kiss to my mother’s cheek, as my wings extended and grew three times their small original size, flaring with golden flames. Currently, Naturia, Alice, and Ignatius were merging their elements together to form Divine Fire, which covered my entire body.

FLAAASH!

Without hesitating, I flew into the skies, passing through the barrier, and confronting the enormous True Demon, Lilith.

CLASH!
