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

Chapter 70: Awakening

—–

“...”

I barely grasped the situation that was happening as my mind was continuously going back and forth between being conscious and unconscious. But for some reason, Aquarina suddenly felt like she... broke. After crying desperately for a while, she fell silent.

Her entire body began to emanate a strong amount of power soon after as mana was overflowing from her body like a constant stream of water. How much mana does this girl have? I couldn’t tell, but I was certain it wasn’t a lot compared to mine. Though, when compared to other people, she had... a lot.

An immense quantity of it.

Was this because she’s a heroine and the daughter of two heroes? I don’t know, but that might be a possibility. Her power was incredible though, despite probably only having a Tier 1 Magic Circle inside her soul. However, that didn’t matter at all. Her pendant and her earrings suddenly shone brightly as her mana was absorbed by them.

Soon, her soul began to overflow with azure energy, and then, the massive might of the oceans was summoned as the figure of a gigantic snake-like entity floating in the middle of the skies appeared.

.....

What... what is this?

At this moment, her eyes were flashing with aquamarine light. It was as if Aquarina was not here anymore, but instead, something else took over. This wasn’t even her Undine Spirit, this was... something else.

“W-what.... wait a second... you’re... Leviathan?!”

Hell suddenly fell on his butt over the might of the massive sea snake that emerged before him, roaring loudly as ocean waves constantly generated around the gigantic entity.

He glared down at Hell with flashing bright azure eyes...

He’s... Leviathan? The being inside the earrings and pendants that Aquarina has? But how? She didn’t have the soul, right? How is this working?

Maybe she ate his flesh? I don’t know...

“Grrr....”

The massive being glared down at Hell as the oceanic aura emanating from it spread across the entire place like a domain of oceans. It continued to expand and made everything seem as if we were in the middle of the sea.

“W-Wait! Hold on a second! You’re Leviathan, right? Don’t you remember me? Hell! The Lord of Death!” said Hell desperately.

“I never liked you anyways, you skull-faced hypocrite,” replied Leviathan, quickly cutting off any sort of relationship between the two.

“Nngh?! Why are you even trying to help her? And you’re dead too! How are you here? This is... your Soul Fragments...? But why? Why are you helping the daughter of the ones that killed you?” Hell asked.

“Because I find her worthy. Her gentle-hearted soul has captivated me,” Leviathan told him.

“You’ve always been an idiot anyways! A stupid beast who was soft deep down! Don’t worry, a mere soul such as yourself cannot possibly stand a chance against me! I’ll slay you for good!” roared the skull-faced hypocrite. Soon, his darkness began to emanate like an explosion of shadows.

In the meantime, Leviathan suddenly looked down at me.

“I’ll be taking this,” he said. Not long after, the earrings I had flew away from me, fusing with his materialized body.

FLASH!

“This... I don’t know if it’s enough, but it could buy us some time... it all depends on whether this bastard has become rusty.”

TRUUUMMM...!

Suddenly, Leviathan shaped the oceanic domain around him into a gigantic sphere of water, firing it as a storming vortex of water towards Hell.

BOOMMM!!!

“Nngh...! This... it’s weak! Hahaha! You’re really dead, aren’t you?” Hell said with glee as his shadow and death gathered into his body, exploding into a strong shockwave. Surprisingly, the vortex made by Leviathan was easily destroyed!

“My magic is not the same as before... hmm.”

FLASH!

Leviathan didn’t even think twice as he flew straight towards Hell and attacked him with the materialization of his body.

CLASH!

“GROOOOARRR!”

He roared loudly as his sharp fangs began to tear apart the shadows covering and protecting the skeleton. On the other hand, the skeleton fought back by firing multiple spears of darkness, piercing Leviathan’s body. Though, I quickly noticed that it wasn’t blood that was coming out, but just water.

SLASH!

Sometime later, Leviathan suddenly raised one of his small arms, which had sharp claws, using them to slash through the face of the skeleton, tearing apart a chunk of his skull in the process. ????????????????e????????. ????૦????

CLASH!

“Uagh...!”

From behind the skeleton’s skull, there was a groaning and howling phantasmal specter made of darkness roaring angrily.

Is that his real body? So, the skeleton is like just a vessel? I guess all skeletons are not just skeletons, they also have souls...

Nngh... I don’t even know how I’m even thinking properly. In any case, not being able to breathe is horrendously annoying.

CLASH!

“Y-You damn snake! Why do you have to interrupt me when I was about to fulfill my destiny?! Do you truly want these children to become the new heroes? Are you going against the world’s will? You bastard! You’re allying with the Gods, aren’t you?!” Hell roared as his shadows began to slowly overwhelm Leviathan.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“Allying with the Gods? I don’t care... about anything like that! I’ve chosen to protect this girl... and that’s the end of that!” roared Leviathan in response as he opened his jaws. Soon, an enormous quantity of oceanic water came out in the form of high-pressured vortexes, falling over the skeleton once more.

SPLAAAAASSSHHH!

“Graaggh...!”

“Plus, you’re the one to talk. You’ve already allied with the Gods, right?” Leviathan asked him.

“Eh?! H-How...?!”

“How did I know? Since when have you been able to create dimensions? The Dimensional Lord is dead. You’ve allied a God capable of summoning a pocket dimension for you, right? It appears that even Gods want to kill the Heroes now!” said Leviathan.

“T-Tch! Not like you’ll ever find out the truth! You’re dying today, alongside those detestable children!” Hell roared in response. After that, his power suddenly surged from his skeleton body like an immense explosion of spectral darkness. It was so strong that it began to encompass everything.

“Damn it...!”

Leviathan suddenly formed a massive bubble with his entire water-based body as he covered both of us with it.

In the meantime, the massive amount of darkness began to consume everything in the vicinity as I saw Leviathan struggling. Then, his soul began to slowly dissolve, with the stones that were making him up turning into ash...

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
