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

Chapter 850 {New Quest}: [Defeat The Insectoid Queen Asarashk!]

-----

"What an annoying bunch you all are!" Arafunn sighed, unleashing the power of his winds barely, concentrating them into dozens of small blades and cutting down through gigantic earthworms and ants that kept coming out of the crumbling caves.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

The huge earthworm's bodies were cut down to pieces alongside the ants, each attack hitting their bodies ended generating quite the loud explosions, however. 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!!!

RUMBLE!

And such explosions caused more tremors, the entire surrounding caves crumbled down into the ground, huge stones capable of crushing anything were being constantly evaded by Arafunn, whose body was rather frail compared to Allan and Shade.

The more he attacked them, the more the caves would crumble, leaving even less space for him to move through. Whenever he reached the end of the open areas, he'll be buried alive in stones and dirt that constantly drains his Mana.

"KRIEEEEEEHHH!!!"

"Another one?!" Arafunn heard the monstrous scream of a bug. "Can't you leave me alone while I seek a-"

CLAAAAAASSSSHH…!

But before he could even finish his words, a black flash of lightning reached him, a huge claw punching his stomach down into the ground, as his body pierced through countless layers of stone, each hit draining his mana more and more!

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!

"UNGH…?! W-What…?! A mere… damn bug…" Arafunn gritted his teeth, vomiting blood as he slowly glanced upwards.

In there, a huge, over four meters tall humanoid insect stood. Its body shape resembling a thin and powerful ant, with a huge ant head and an abdomen behind. 

"KRIEEEHEHEHEHEHE! You're way too weak, elf! I thought that because you were a hero, you would be tough! But sister Arachne was right! You're the weakest of all of them! KRIEHEHEHEHEHE!" The ant started laughing grossly, like some sort of street thug.

"Who are you?!" Arafunn muttered, slowly standing back up as he gathered his strength.

"I guess its fine to say my name, hehehehe~!" Laughed the Ant Demon. "I am Herbranpheles, the King of all Ant Demons! I'll crush you and show my tribe that abandoned me that we can beat the damn humans! They'll understand once I bring your head to them that we can still keep fighting!"

"So you want to use my own head to convince your people to continue fighting pointlessly?" Sighed Arafunn. "Maybe you should first find yourself a brain, you're really stupid."

"SHUT UP!!!" The furious Ant flew down with his wings, reaching Arafunn in a single second, a huge kick hitting his face!

CRAAAAAAAASSSSH!!!

"Unnggh…?!"

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! KRIEHEHEHEHE!!!"

"Now, will you be obedient? Lady Arachne is waiting for you, my dear." Giggled Asarashk. "I am sure she will be pleased to see your growth; you'll make for an even juicier snack. With that little lamb girl… Both of you shall be sacrificed. And your divine blessings will grant her the might of the Saint of Spirits and the Hero of Beasts!" She laughed, while carrying Luck like some wild rabbit she hunted, slowly walking towards the gates.

"Hahhh~ I can't wait until she becomes so powerful! That damn and insolent brat back in the Demon Continent will finally know what true fear is as he's stomped by the true new Demon King- No, Demon Queen!" Asarashk laughed, blushing as she thought of her beloved Lady Arachne.

"La… ra…" Luck muttered, without any strength on his body anymore, as tears flowed from his eyes. "I'm so… rry…"

"Oh my~ Don't cry like that, my dear." Laughed Asarashk. "You will simply become Lady Arachne's strength! Hahahaha! Your soul will live within her, as her power and might! Pfff… HAHAHAHAHA!"

As she reached the gates, she called for Arachne.

"Lady Arachne, I've secured the boy, please open the-"

BAAAAAAAMMMM…!

"Huh?!"

However, before she could finish her words, Arachne's view of what was happening was swiftly interrupted, an invisible barrier appeared around Asarashk and Luck, inhibiting her view of the scene.

And at the same time, the walls broke open as a huge army of monsters and a group of several young warriors stepped in, led by Sylphy. It was the whole squad! Mist, Celica, Celeste, Aquarina, and Zack!

"Looks like we barely made it." Sylphy sighed, sitting over a huge white Gray Fenrir, Furoh who had shapeshifted into this stronger form than the White Fenrir.

"Is she… the one that took Lara away?" Celeste asked.

"Most likely." Aquarina nodded. "Hey bitch, leave Luck where he is…"

"Or we'll crush you." Zack said.

"P-Please! Don't fight! Lady Demon! We are Demons too! We can't just fight endlessly!" Mist cried. "Please understand! Let's… get along?"

Asarashk glanced at the scene, as a bunch of children were telling her what to do. She glanced in utter disbelief, before laughing her ass off.

"Ppfff… hahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" She continued laughing. "Do you pathetic children want to tell me what to do?! Okay, it is impressive that you can break Dungeon Walls, but what about it?! Do you truly… truly believe you can even hurt an inch of my body? It does seems like Lady Arachne has severely underestimated you. But even then, that won't change the fact that if we fight head-on, we can easily destroy you all. Now-"

FLAAAASH!

"?!"

Before Asarashk could continue her words, Sylph appeared right behind her at almost super-sonic speed, overflowing with Draconic Flames and Holy Divine Light, the scales over her body became completely gold, as she grew a pair of fast draconic wings, a long tail, claws, draconic eyes, and golden horns.

"Say that again to my face." She swung her sword, Scarlet at an incredible speed, as Asarashk felt like a whole mountain was falling over her!

TRUUUUUUUUMMMMM…!

"W-WHA- AARGHH…!"

Asarashk screamed in agony as the divine light burned her entire body and then threw her away, covered on countless slashes! It was as if that mere slash contained within hundreds of slashes at once!

BAAAAAAMMM…!

Her huge body fell into the floor, several of her bones broke, as she vomited a mouthful of blood! Her sharp red eyes glanced at Sylph with complete and utter disbelief!

"Y-You…! No… Impossible…! This can't be!" Asarashk screamed, barely trying to stand back up. "Have… the young heroes already attained a similar level than their parents?!"

[A Special [Challenge Quest] has been generated: [Defeat The Insectoid Queen Asarashk!]

[Asarashk is a formidable foe with tremendous strength. Do you think you can defeat her with the combined might of your powers and your friends? After having taken away the lives of many innocents, she doesn't deserve any pity nor mercy. It is now your task and that of your friends to get rid of her before confronting Arachne.]

[Can you go beyond your own limits, Sylphy?]

[Time Limit: 6 Hours]

And in front of Sylphy's eyes, a brand-new Quest has appeared, after so long! One that challenged her to go beyond her own limits and defeat a being beyond Tier 9!

Is such an insane challenge even possible, even while taking into consideration all her friends helping her?

[Do you accept this quest?]

"Yes."
