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

Chapter 1314: Ivy And Barkʼs Power

-----

As Sylphy started slaying Miasmic Monsters from left and right, Bark and Ivy had teamed up and were struggling a bit, despite their recent evolutions.

”Ivy, we are not doing this fast enough!” Bark groaned. ”We are more capable now, yes, I can tank hits easily and I can kill them too but…!”

”I know! Just shut up and become my shield! Iʼll shot them down with my bow and my daggers!” Ivy groaned. ”{Black Rose Arrows}!”

Ivy combined her abilities with her spells within her magic circle, firing several black rose arrows that, upon exploding on a foe, covered them on countless black roses that drained away their energy, drying out the miasmic monsters the more she shot them.

She wasnʼt doing bad at all, as a Huntress, all of Ivyʼs abilities were designed to hunt down monsters, from her Hero Trait to her Hero Abilities.

The Hero Trait [Monster Hunter] allowed her to do all kinds of things, plus had a bonus of fifty percent against all monsters, which also gave such a good boost to her arrows, making them capable enough to kill these creatures of Tier 7 and above.

From her Hero Abilities, [Agile Huntress] enhanced her movement speed on many terrains by seventy percent, enough to make her very flashy, and it worked right here as well!

Meanwhile, her [Poisonous Attack] Hero Ability could inflict deadly poison on foes to kill them slowly while decreasing their stats by twenty percent. Although the miasmic creatures werenʼt dying to the poison, the debuff worked, making them weaker as long as she hit them with an arrow.

Her special equipment ability tied to her boots [Swift Footed] allowed to activate windy gusts from her boots, giving her a boost to her movement speed of seven hundred.

And lastly, her newest Hero Ability [Persistent Huntress], allowed her when fighting a foe for longer than 30 seconds or when fighting more than 3 foes at the same time, to increase Attack Power by +2.000 and Movement Speed by +1.000 and lowering the stats of all foes within 5 tiles by 10%!

This only lasted for five minutes, but it had already been activated, further making her stronger and weakening all foes.

Naturally, with these abilities, Ivy should be a swift, evasive fighter, a ”dodge tank” as Alice would often call her using Earth gaming terms. However, the girl still had a big trauma against these monsters and didnʼt want to dare enter within their attack range.

”SHAAAH!”

The creatures kept attacking, Bark was doing his best to resist the blows and then parry them or black them with his sword. Meanwhile, Ivy, as she panicked, conjured more and more magic arrows.

”{Red Rose Arrows}! {Yellow Rose Arrows}!”

Arrows made of red roses and yellow roses were fired, the red roses exploded into countless flames, the yellow roses into pure, blinding light. Everyone blessed by Sylphy not only had their original elements but also Fire and Light, from the divine blessings of the divine sunlight halo.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

This made it possible, so they were also able to conjure fire and light magic, but aside from Selene using it to heal and protect, Ivy was the first one to figure out how to employ it offensively.

”Incredible, Ivy!” said Bark. ”I also have to do my best…! Flames, Light, Stone!”

His magic circle spun around, as Bark channeled his powers through his own Mana, flowing into it. The Runes shone brightly, imbuing him with the power of magic.

Of spells!

”I must find a way to combine their power with my high durability and sluggish movements!” he thought. ”Maybe… maybe like this!”

Barkʼs abilities were all about fighting and protecting others, while increasing his defenses in the process, sometimes sacrificing his own speed.

His Hero Trait [Resilient Vanguard] helped him master all kinds of sword techniques and teach them to others, while also gaining a buff when protecting someone, which decreases his damage taken by sixty percent to him and any ally within 10 tiles, as long as heʼs protecting any of them.

Meanwhile, his three Hero Abilities were slightly more varied.

The [Heavy Armor] Hero Ability increased his Life Stat by fifty percent and decreased his damage taken even further by twenty-five percent, but decreased his speed by twenty-two percent, making him unfortunately slower. It also only active when actively fighting a foe.

Then there was his [Magic Sword] Hero Ability, which automatically imbued any of his sword attacks with Mana, increasing Damage Dealt based on seventy-five percent of his own Magic Power Stat, while extending the attack range by fifty percent.

And lastly, his newest and strongest Hero Ability was [Magic Knight of the Forest], which activated whenever he was within Forest Tiles or within 10 Tiles of a Forest or Tree Tile, increasing his Movement Speed and Magic Power by two thousand, while also giving him the power of Spirit Swordsmanship.

All of these abilities were activated right now, constantly buffing Bark through the roof, yet he was not the brightest man alive, there was a reason why he died in his previous life at a rather young age after all!

He was trying to make use of his newest Hero Ability and wield Spirit Swordsmanship, but he was being constantly forced to defend from the monstersʼ coming attacks. Thanks to his Abilities he could reduce all the damage he took by 75% now, so he was able to tank almost anything!

However… could that even be enough?

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The monsters kept attacking endlessly, and Bark was trying to think, but it resulted quite hard to think for him!

If only he had guidance… from a goddess, perhaps.

”Bark!”

And the goddess arrived.

Sylphy showed up, swinging her giant sword, and unleashing an explosion of thunderous holy crimson flames, blowing up everything explosively.

”Youʼre still struggling? Use your own body! youʼre made of not only wood, but stone now!” she said. ”Let them get closer and impale them, get it?”

”Impale… them? Thatʼs right!”

”ROOAAR!”

As the Miasmic Creatures swarmed Bark entirely, he did as his master said.

”{Stone Spike Body}!”

And his entire body grew hundred of sharp, long spikes.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
