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

218 Zack’s Beast Spirit

—–

FLAAASH!

What emerged from Zack was a storm of winds and thunder! It surprised all three of us as we saw what was coming out of his body, I do know that from what they told me, since he was a child that he showcased the power of wind, but my mother had analyzed his magic talent many times, and even after making his magic circle, she said he was similar to my father when he was younger, he wasn’t good at magic by itself, but he had a strong element, which allowed him to infuse such element into his physical attacks such as weapon techniques very easily, something that would actually be rather complicated for people without magic talent, and even those that research magic would find it hard, apparently.

I was surprised, it seems that having a “strong element” doesn’t always means having a “strong magic”. And some are capable of having low capacity with magic conjuration and small talent, but strong element, in such cases, these people often have strong physiques from the get-go and are more talented at fighting physically. There are rare cases of people that is good with both magic and physical fighting, but sometimes people think that’s the norm because physical fighters are still able to conjure some magic spells and infuse their weapon attacks with their elemental affinity, but their spells cannot really compare to the spells of an experienced magician.

And Zack was one of such people, he was someone like my father was originally (after awakening fully as a hero and working hard for years, he became good at magic too), he has an excellent and talented physique since birth and also a strong element with wind, but his magic is subpar, even with the assistance of his spirits, so he has to do everything physically to cause an effect with his elements, but they’re sometimes like spells. A good example is when he unleashes a powerful destructive slash using his axe by infusing it with the power of the wind and thunder elements... This means that his power with his element is amazing, and that paired with his physique is even better.

Then what’s the reason behind this physique? My father had it that way because of both being a chosen hero and also because of his strict father making him train so hard since he was like three years old... But what about Zack?

What showed up from his aura was surprisingly simple, there were a lot of different small animals coming out as beast spirits, small and big birds, roaring panthers and tigers, fierce bears, and other monsters and beasts that are common from this jungle, but there was also a strong wind element surrounding them all... Perhaps his element had been developing alongside his physique, which made these beasts stronger than they should be originally? They looked like they were merely the essence of common beasts he had eaten that were cooked through Cooking Magic, nothing too much.

Nonetheless, it wasn’t as impressive as Aquarina’s aura, but it was still very remarkable and honestly quite strong, it surprised me and also made me proud, I am happy my friend is getting stronger... I can’t wait to see him grow stronger and spar more with him, sparing with my friends is always where I have the most fun after all. Seeing how they’re slowly developing and attempting to catch up with me is always entertaining.

“Incredible, you got a large quantity of many beasts working together somehow...” Said Ninhursag. “You’ve got a lot of knack for it as well, Zack! Very well.”

.....

With that done, Ninhursag took out her hands from the kid’s heads and sighed in relief. Aquarina and Zack’s bodies stopped exuding such enormous elemental auras and finally reseeded for the moment, resting in the floor. I quickly moved to their side and petted their backs, slowly massaging their shoulders and using my healing magic to relax them. The pain was not gone completely after Ninhursag pulls her hands away, so I had to calm them down.

“Are you okay now?” I asked. “Ninhursag was a bit rough, but the ritual should be done now.”

“Yeah... I am okay...” Sighed Aquarina. “I am very tired though, but thanks to you, Sylphy, I think I am fine. Your healing hands are always the very best there is!” Aquarina smiled adorably back at me as she seemed to grow more relaxed after I massaged her shoulders while infusing my healing magic.

“Yeah, I feel better now... I didn’t expect a whole jungle of monsters to be inside of me though...” Sighed Zack. “That was way too freaky, I don’t know if I will ever be able to actually transform into all of them or something, but it would be convenient I guess.” Zack seemed to have recovered better, he was a hardy boy after all, and as firm as a rock, but his shoulders were still sore, and he masked his relaxation with a serious face.

“Yeah, it would be pretty nice if you could transform into all of those, I am honestly envious, I wish I had more beasts, but my dragon just ate them all...” I sighed. “I will need to eat the meat of something equally strong as a red dragon or stronger if I want a second beast sprit, don’t I?”

“Exactly.” Said Ninhursag. “That’s what you’ll need to do, sadly. I have also strong beast spirits within me, but I know how to control them from not eating the rest, I seal them in the depths of my body and soul and only unleash the chains binding them when I really need them... That three-headed chimera was one of them, but you wouldn’t believe me if I told you I have a few other monsters just as terrifying if not even more terrifying inside? Oh well, you didn’t saw the chimera I guess...”

“We didn’t saw it but that certainly sounds pretty scary nonetheless...” I said. “A-Anyways, what do we do now?”

“For now you should rest a bit... But what comes later is learning some basic Druid spells and comprehend the ability to call upon the beast spirits.” Said Ninhursag. “It is complicated and might take many weeks or months, so take it easy, there’s no rush.”
