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

340 The Mysterious Perpetrators

—–

In the middle of the night within the fiefdom of Eastgrain, a group of five mysterious figures ran through the alleys, reaching the ruined building where the orphanage for demi-humans was located. The entire place looked like an abandoned house, with the windows covered with several pieces of wood and moss, and the door was barely standing... It was honestly a miracle that this ruined building was holding up until now. The mysterious figures smiled rather viciously and almost comically cartoonishly, as they took out small daggers from their pockets.

“This is the place? It looks like an abandoned house... I can’t believe this hole is where that damn pile of misfits are living...”

“I can’t believe the government is letting these demi-humans stay here as if they were citizens, didn’t we had a war with them? The demons killed many of us, why are they being forgiven now?”

“It’s all that damn Darius doing after all, just as the boss had said, that priest is still a pain in the ass even after death. He was a good friend with the previous governor, the father of the Duke, and abolished slavery with his help, making the survivors of the war civilians and stopped their hunting, deeming it as illegal...”

“Well, not like we can’t do it, just not in front of everyone now...”

“It was because of these damn demons that my mother died when I was a child... I won’t forgive them!”

“Tonight we’ll have our revenge, for all the lives they took from us... Boss was really nice for giving us these too.”

The figures gathered behind the building, as one of the women making the group showed a red-colored jewel infused with a large quantity of Fire-Attribute Mana. These jewels were called Spell Jewel and were dangerous weapons that Magicians created, by infusing an element or a spell inside a Magic Crystal taken from the carcass of a monster that was purified from impurities, it was possible to create Spell Jewels, that worked like bombs, throwing them away and using a certain conjuration generated the spell inside of them to come out. It was often used in warfare against the demons, one of the many magical inventions that the Elves shared with Humans to have an upper hand in the war against the Demons.

.....

“There Spell Jewels are not cheap at all, the refining process costs a fortune! But he said we could go all out...”

“They’re infused with a fire spell? It’s hot!”

“Yeah, it has a lot of Fire Blaze, a Tier 2 Spell hat can generate a powerful explosive blaze, not strong enough to kill strong monsters, as you need more than one attack, but to burn down a little house? It’s easy.”

“Then let’s blast this entire place down... That’ll show them... these damn demons!”

“Yes... it will show them that they’re now welcome here!”

“They’ll burn like my little daughter did... They’ll know our suffering!”

The Spell Jewels were ruthless thrown at the house, as the people suddenly recited the special words that would activate them. ????n????????ea????. ????????????

“To hell with all of you demons!!!”

FLASH!

The jewels while falling from midair suddenly glowed with bright light, emanating a tremendous amount of heat from within! In mere seconds, they all exploded into thunderous blazing infernos one after the other, illuminating the dark night!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOMMM!!!

FLUOOOSH!

The blazing fire spread out into the neighboring houses; mostly abandoned houses were only homeless people would live. The gigantic explosions were so loud that people from far away was woken up by the sudden commotion, many people ran outside of their houses, seeing the flames of hell erupting from the ground.

The people that launched the Spell Jewels began to laugh, pleased with what they had done, they looked at everything take flames... Except the orphanage itself.

It was in fact not blazing with flames, something had stopped the flames from even reaching the building. One of the men noticed an invisible barrier of light that had blocked the flames, pointing at it, many of them quickly thought something weird was going on.

“That’s a magic barrier?!”

“It is capable of resisting five Tier 2 Spells at once...?!”

“Is there such a strong magician in town to begin with...?”

Without them even realizing, some strange green vines began to quickly lurk beneath their feet, suddenly catching them and entangling their legs, and dragging them close to the building!

“Uuaaggh!”

“V-Vines?!”

“There’s a Nature Magician around?”

“Shit... cut them off!”

The vines viciously captured these perpetrators, as they suddenly realized the origin of them were Tier 2 Monsters named Vine Blooms, that had suddenly appeared out of thin air! This was, of course, Sylphy’s doing. The moment she had mentioned leaving her “seeds” in the orphanage, it meant these specially modified seeds she had created through Agriculture, capable of evolving into Monsters by reacting against danger or someone that posed a threat to the building and those inside.

She had done this before, of course, but other this entire time, Sylphy learned the ability to delay the seeds transformation into monsters, and even put certain conditions for their transformation. But of course that wasn’t all, as black chains suddenly emerged out of the air, some of the men realized there was a strange creature floating in the middle of the sky, meddling with the darkness, resembling a ghost!

“Fresh Sacrifices... Hehehehehe...”

It suddenly revealed its face, showing a horrid and pale face, the same face that a zombie had! What sort of strange entity was that that came out of absolutely nowhere?!

“Gyyyyaaaaah!”

“H-Help!”

“Help us! Please help!”

As the perpetrators desperately cried for help, two figures came to “help” them, two handsome men wrapped in black clothes, one with white hair and another with red hair.

“Huh, so someone actually came... I can’t believe they were actually trying to blow up the entire orphanage...”

“We should just kill them...”

“Woah, calm down Shade. We captured them, there’s no reason to just kill them... for now.”

“Hm...”

Two pairs of merciless eyes glared down at the captured perpetrators.

“You guys’ better talk honestly, if you don’t want to meet my friend’s fury...”
