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

Chapter 657 Advancing Through Floor 3

-----

I tried feeding Sapphire with fishmen scales and even their magic crystal, but she didnʼt accepted them. She probably has a rather high standards or something, so she only accepted those starting materials and now just wants something even better. Well, at the very least she got some nice stat boosts out of that and also two new skills!

-----

[Flame Shield: Lv1]

By channeling mana into the living shieldʼs body, it is possible to unleash a large amount of flames, which protects the shield from even stronger fire and lightning attribute attacks. It can also absorb a part of this damage and unleash it as a devastating [Blazing Parry] to a foe, dealing up to +120% Damage. Absorption Rate and Damage Dealt using [Blazing Parry] increases by +10% with each Skill Level.

-----

[Sea Snake Protection: Lv1]

Whenever the living shield takes a lot of damage, it can channel a large quantity of Mana from its wielder and summon a powerful Sea Snake Protector, a spirit made entirely out of water in the shape of a small Sea Snake which will attack any foe, dealing up to 50% of the damage the shield has taken back to the foe as Water-Attribute Damage randomly. The more it is hit back, the more savagely it will fight. Increases proc chances by +10%, and Damage Dealt by +25% with each Skill Level.

-----

Oh, these two skills are rather interesting. The first one is kind of similar to my Heavenly Sun Skill, isnʼt it? But a bit more limited, though it still a good defense against fire and lightning. And then the latter is a more offensive, and random as it only appears randomly with a set chance that increases with each skill level.

Ding!

[Scarlet] has absorbed [Sea Snake Fang] x1, [Sea Snake Scale] x1, [Coral Tree Branch] x1, and [Aquarius Crystal] x1!]

[Scarlet] gained +20 HP, +10 MP, +25 Strength, +10 Defense, +15 Magic, +10 Resistance, +10 Agility, +5 Luck, +10 Charm!]

[Scarlet] learned the [Dragon Fang: Lv1] Skill!]

[Scarlet] cannot gain more power from these materials!]

-----

[Dragon Fang: Lv1]

A Skill that only Dragon Blades can obtain, it allows the Living Sword to unleash a powerful, devastating slicing blow that can ignore up to 30% of the foeʼs defenses. When combined with other skills and techniques, it becomes truly frightening. With each Skill Level, Defense Ignoration increases by -5%.

-----

Oh, this doesnʼt deal bonus damage to dragons, but thatʼs still good enough in my book! With that done, Aquarinaʼs eyes were stuck into my two items growing stronger. She seemed to be completely confused about what was even going on in here.

”Sylphy your sword and your shield absorbed more materials?” She wondered.

”Yeah, they seem to be able to grow stronger by absorbing materials, pretty cool, right?” I asked with a smile.

”I am a bit jealous to be honest…” Sighed Aquarina.

”Well maybe we could eventually find a way to make your weapons into the same, as long as we keep researching.” I said, giving her some hope. I was planning to just give system seeds to her equipment in the future anyways.

”Huh, I wonder if we could find a way… Well, I smell fish, are we getting closer to another horde?” Wondered Aquarina.

”Yeah, theyʼre getting closer, almost the same formation and numbers than before! Letʼs go! Golem, bring their attention!”

”GRUOOOHHHH!”

”Everyone! Letʼs go! Remember to save your energy! If you need Mana Iʼve got plenty to share with you all!” I commanded, my friends roared back, the fight quickly began.

Lightning, Ice, Light, Flames, Darkness, and other magic elements showered over our foes, as the golem took the hits and their attention from us, we massacred the fishmen before they could ever know what was coming to them.

Like that, we continued advancing through the Floor 3 while fighting armies of Fishmen one after the other. The Coral Golem ended breaking down after the third battle, so we had another battle with a slightly smaller group before taking a break before my golem could be summoned again, it had become quite essential. After only an hour, we were already only around two more groups of monsters before reaching the boss chamber.

Ding!

[Mana Usage: Lv10]

The ability to naturally wield Mana. Grants the ability to use Mana without any previous required experience, while activated, you can use your own mind to shape the Mana to your liking, but a lot of Mana is utilized.

-----

After spamming a lot of Blazing Walls and Mana Usage to share Mana with everyone, these two Skills ended leveling up, nice!

The Level 10 Skill looked pretty strong already, and it lessened all the pressure of using Mana by 100% too, while enhancing my control even further. And as if that couldnʼt be enough, all my magic spells are stronger.

Now, while we are taking a small break, letʼs see what I can get now.
