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

Chapter 781 Tragedy

-----

”Luck! Go look for your brother! Iʼll be fine! Please! I need to save the villagers first!” Lara implored Luck, asking him to let her go.

”W-What?! But I canʼt even damage those things, youʼll die!” Luck said.

”Please trust me!” Lara nodded.

”…” Luck remained in silence as he moved back to his house to find his big brother, gritting his teeth. ”F-Fine! But donʼt die on me!”

”Donʼt worry! My buddies are here, theyʼre all coming!” Lara nodded, as Luck noticed thousands of tiny lights of red, orange, gold, green, and blue color rapidly moving into the village from the outside. ”{Spirit Call}!”

FLAAAAASH!

Lara hit the floor with her staff, handcrafted by Luck using the big Magic Crystal from the Blazing Wild Boar, it possessed enough power to amplify her magic and mana recovery speed rather well.

At her call, thousands of tiny spirits surged. The Sunlight Spirits turned into fireballs and rays of sunlight, hitting the giant bugs eyes and stopping their movements temporarily. The River Spirits couldnʼt be as offensive, but they wet the ground below the bugs and made it muddy, making it hard for their heavy bodies to move rapidly.

Wind Spirits let out powerful slicing gusts of air everywhere, scratching the shells of the monsters and cutting their eyes. And lastly, the Land Spirits worked the hardest, creating pitfalls, golems, spreading destruction.

”Please, make sure they can evacuate in time!” Luck said, quickly and giant hands made of dirt and stone to stop the beasts from spreading destruction.

”Please, make sure they can evacuate in time!” Luck said, quickly beginning to rush back to his house. ”Please, please be safe! Please, big brother…!”

Chaos spread everywhere, the chimneys that were destroyed set off flames into several houses, which propagated easily on the drier grasslands, the entire village was covered on the screams of people and the flames of war… blood and suffering was all Luck could see.

And once he arrived back home, finally, he quickly saw the entire house being destroyed, and a large praying mantis-like demonic insect beast there, fighting against a single man, covered on wounds.

”Ungh…! Hahhh… M-Move aside!” Roared Luckʼs big brother. ”As long as I live… I wonʼt let you touch them!”

As Luck rushed as fast as possible there, he realized his brother was protecting a family that was living nearby, that were heavily wounded and could barely move.

”Big brotherʼs alive…!” Luckʼs eyes were filled with hope.

”KRIEEEEEEHHH!!!”

However, the insectoid beast suddenly went berserk, roaring furiously as its eyes turned deep red, rushing towards Luckʼs big brother, and destroying his spear with a mere swing of its giant left scythe, while the right scythe…

SLAAAAASH!

”U-Ungh?!”

Slashed right through Luckʼs big brotherʼs chest, piercing it.

His big brotherʼs eyes were filled with shock as his life was being taken away from him. His lungs filled with blood.

For a moment, it felt like Luckʼs entire perception of his surroundings became slow, as if time itself slowed down.

The night sky that very moment started to rain, as it was filled with clouds made by Laraʼs spirits to turn off the flames.

”L-Luck…?” His big brother muttered, seconds before falling down into the floor, vomiting blood.

”AAAHHH… AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH…!” Luck screamed like a wild beast, all of his Mana flowed into his body at once, a ray of golden light surged from within the empty air, landing directly into the Praying Mantis Giant Insect Monsterʼs head.

”DIEEEEEEEEEE!!!” Luck screamed.

His claws grew to a gigantic size, encompassed by mana and materializing into utterly monstrous arms, slashing apart at the beastʼs eyes and then its mandibles.

CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!

Countless blows reached the beastʼs weakest point, as the insect started to scream in agony, beginning to lose balance and falling down into the floor. Its deadly scythes constantly attempting to slash at Luck, but his legs and hands barely managing to catch them before they could slice through his flesh.

”DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIEEEE!”

”KRIEEEEEHHH… GGRREEEGGHH…!

BAAAAM…!

The beast, unable to fight anymore and having its entire head blown up into pieces, fell completely to its fate, dying quickly after.

”Hahhh… HAAAHHH…” Luck groaned, gasping for air, as he saw the scared eyes of the children composing the family his big brother was trying to protect.

”L-Luck?” Cried one of the boys.

”GRAAAAHHH!!!” Luck roared like a wild beast, pointing his claws at them.

”UUWAAAH!”

As they screamed in fear, Luck quickly realized… this wasnʼt him.

”N-No… HAAAAAHHH… UGH… UNGH…! B-Big brother… BIG BROTHER!!!”

Luck ignored them, rushing back to his big brotherʼs body, on the floor. His blood covered the green grass below his body, turning it deep crimson.

”B-Big Brother… BIG BROTHER!” Luckʼs transformation slowly faded away, revealing the young and frail boy beneath the skin of a wild beast. Tears flowing from his eyes, as he held his brother on his arms.

He was not moving. And he was not breathing. His eyes… were still open, glancing at him back. Luckʼs heart was beating faster and faster, as he couldnʼt help but breath heavily.

”B-Big… bro?”

His hands started to tremble, as the head of his big brother was hanging down, motionlessly… lifelessly.

As Luckʼs tears slowly mixed with the rainwater, he felt weak, and lifeless too.

It felt as if his entire body had no longer any strength.

He couldnʼt even say goodbye to him.

His last moments… were in shock before a painful, undeserved death.

”N-No… No… Please…” Luck screamed. ”Donʼt leave me…”

The memories of his big brother began passing through his mind. Luck started to remember all of it so vividly. Since he was a little child, being taken care by him, to when he began growing up.

When he started walking, or when he first hunted a rabbit, or when he cooked a meal for the first time… His big brother, Hansen, was always there.

He was the only know that told him he had a brave father and a wonderful mother, and he was… his family, everything.

”You promised you would always… stay at my side…” Luck continued crying. ”Brother…”
