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

Chapter 714 Battling A Strong Alchemy Spirit!

-----

As I took out these items I wanted to merge, Aquarina was a bit too surprised about such high-quality items appearing out of the blue.

”W-What are these items? Did your parents bought them for you?” She wondered.

”Well… Not really, I acquired them myself. Iʼve been… gathering them for a while. In the market.” I said, lying.

”In the market, huh?” She didnʼt seem to buy it though.

At the end I donʼt think I could tell her the System just created them; she would probably not believe me anymore with such a ridiculous thing. And I feel like I should explain her more of this once she gets her own Status later on.

”In the market?!” Asked Aquarina. ”Well, that elixir you gave me was made out of that sea dragonʼs materials so it was believable but Sylphy do you truly believe Iʼll just accept that excuse? Wait, are these items… something to do with the System?”

”Ah, bingo.” I nodded. ”Letʼs say that sometimes, if I do a lot of good things for other people, the System will gather this favor and gift me items.”

”I-Is that even… possible?” Aquarina felt surprised.

”Well, thereʼs no other explanation than that…” I sighed. ”I canʼt really explain it any more detailed than that.”

”Ahhh… This magic of yours is almost god-like.” Aquarina felt flabbergasted. ”S-So that elixir you gave me…?”

”Yep.” I nodded. ”I got those materials from defeating the sea dragon actually.”

”Wow…” Aquarina felt surprised. ”So Iʼve already consumed and grown stronger using these special godly items. I guess I canʼt really complain…”

”Were you going to complain?” I wondered.

”W-Well, it felt a bit unfair you have so many powers… But I guess Iʼve benefited from them, perhaps even more than I realized, so maybe I shouldnʼt get selfish.” She giggled, apologizing a bit.

”Oh no, itʼs fine to complain, it is a really unfair power. But itʼs not like I am using it to do bad things. Iʼve been using this power to survive, to help people, and more.” I said with a smile. ”And I think… it is a godly power that might one day give us the chance to reclaim the freedom of our entire species, of all the races.”

”You mean… that such a power could work even against the Gods?” Aquarina wondered. ”I… I guess it could… I suppose this is why you were so confident! Hehe, Iʼve figured it out!”

”Yep” I nodded. ”Nonetheless, weʼre not even near that point yet… Iʼve entrusted you already a lot of secrets Iʼve never told anybody else before. So Iʼm hoping you keep them as secrets, okay? I love you, so I trust you. I hope you can do the same.”

”S-Sure!” Aquarina said, blushing a bit. ”Uwaaah, this is so romantic! Like in those romance novels where the male lead entrusts the female lead an incredible secret, sometimes even showing her his true powers!”

”What sort of novels have you been reading?” I wondered.

The literature of this world, especially of the Elven Country, was much more advanced than my original world. Although compared to the human country I guess it is still advanced. Elves can easily produce paper, print, and many live long and always write books of their lives, sometimes just fairy tales or fantasy stories.

Over time, this grew even more in popularity as ”pocket novels” small books that anybody can pick and read started appearing everywhere. And thereʼs even a network of magical information where people can easily access these stories, check them out, and then decide to buy them in the big cities of the elven country using special Magical Grimoires available in most libraries.

I guess Aquarina has been reading a lot of these stories, they tend to have yearly ”trends”, some of the include dramatic romantic stories with male and female leads. Alice has told me that this looks a lot like Earthʼs ”ReadNovelFulls” or whatever, which is similar, but people write them in something named ”Internet” that is a non-magical network of information.

”Hehehe, the good kind!” She giggled. She had quite the obsession with reading, but thatʼs how I loved her. ”Youʼre entrusting me so many secrets, it is romantic~ Maybe I should write a story like this…”

”Hey! Donʼt write something with my secrets though!” I sighed.

”Ahahaha, sorry, sorry~” She giggled. ”I wonʼt!”

”Anyways, letʼs finally begin. Violet, time to activate your normal functions.” I said.

”Guuh!”

FLUOOOSH!

I imbued Mana into her, and then she slowly melted into a rainbow-colored liquid. It was working just as always, but now the cauldron was freaking alive, interesting.

I poured all materials and quickly started the creation of the Elixir, the materials melded together slowly through [Extraction] and [Synthesis], but Violetʼs [Synthetizing Stomach] and [Material Combination] made the synthesis much faster and better.

FLAAAAASSSHHHH!!!!

A bright red-colored aura emerged from the cauldron, as the aura of all the ingredients merged together into an Alchemy Spirit, a creature made out of the will of the materials!

”ROOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!”

It resembled a miniature Fire Dragon, and it looked mighty too! The previous time this happened with Aquarinaʼs Dragon Elixir, I had to fight that thing until taking it down with the help of all my Familiars.

However, this time it seemed much different as I had Aquarina at my side, and there was nobody better at Water Magic than her, which was a Fire Dragonʼs weakness.

And of course, Violet wouldnʼt stay still!

”GUUUGUGUUU!”

FLUOSH!

The rainbow liquid suddenly transformed into a pseudo slime, coiling around the Fire Dragon Alchemy Spirit, and then beginning to drag it down back into the liquid! Wow, thatʼs so useful! If she can easily restrain him then it will be easy to take it down!

”Now, Aquarina, letʼs go all out!” I said.

”Okay!” Aquarina smiled, summoning dozens of Aqua Spheres, as I did the same because I also possessed the Aqua Skill now!

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

”GRUOOOHHHHH…!”

The Fire Dragon Alchemy Spirit roared in agony, slowly weakening and then, completely submerging into the cauldron, merging with the rest of the ingredients and improving the quality of the resulting product even more!

FLAAAASH!

”It is finally done!” We said at the same time.
