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

78 An Eggy Excuse Of A Dragon

“Well... I hate it! I don’t want to be an egg! Where’s my big body?! Ugh... I shouldn’t have helped you!” Ignatius said with a tone of anger. However, I couldn’t really take a floating egg seriously.

“If you didn’t help, we would all be dead by now,” I said in response.

“R-Right... but even then! I... am I really becoming a Spirit?” he wondered.

Apparently, something triggered this change in him. Alice speculated that fusing with a spirit ended up filling him with spiritual energy, which ended up becoming permanently added to his very soul. With that, his soul slowly mutated into a spiritual soul after he was weakened, only having this leftover energy to assimilate and make himself whole. However, he lacked the strength to become a big dragon, so he ended up regressing back to a spirit egg.

Much like Naturia, I’ll have to raise him all the way into a big dragon again. He’s just an egg now, a spirit dragon egg, I think... in any case, his development is connected to mine. As long as I develop, he’ll develop and eventually hatch into a baby dragon!

Even as a baby dragon, he might still be weak I guess... then again, it’s not like he’s a conventional dragon either. He’s a weirdo that has become half-dragon and half whatever he is now. I guess I could call him a Dragon Spirit, or a Fire Dragon Spirit... hmm...

“Are you okay with being a spirit now?” I wondered.

“Of course not!” he roared back.

.....

“Ah! A predictable response!” I replied.

“Anyways, Sylphy, how are you feeling? It seems your soul has recovered greatly...” Alice asked.

“I do feel better. At this point, I’m just waiting to wake up... but this seems unlikely. It’s taking an awful lot of time, to be honest.” I sighed.

“Well, let’s hope things are going well...” Alice sighed as well.

“Yeah. Anyways, as long as I’m with you guys, it doesn’t matter if I’m in here,” I told them.

“Well, we think the same way,” said Ignatius, which was quite a surprise.

“Me too. I think we can be fine as long as we’re together,” Alice said, agreeing with my words.

“Fooo! Fooo!” Of course, Naturia also agreed.

We were all resting over the grasslands of my soul scape. I wanted to see what was going on outside, how my parents had reacted to the events that occurred, and more... but I fear that things might not be the same after this big event.

I fear that things might change, and that I might not have as many liberties as I wished I could have. Realizing that, it frustrates me... I wish these annoying beings from the past could stop coming to kill us all the time.

I hate that I’ve enjoyed such a nice relaxing life all this time, yet there’s never a true sense of calm. There’s always this powerful danger lurking behind us, wanting to kill us no matter what.

It’s as if our very existences were a nuisance in their eyes, while the gods that seem to represent us or protect us barely give any help other than the divine protections, which I guess helped greatly now that I think about.

I suppose I should still be grateful for them. Without those things, Aquarina would have died... I don’t know about myself, but perhaps if my body turned to ashes, I would have died as well.

I hate to admit it, but I guess I own these gods a favor for what they did for me, even if the only thing they left for us was this and nothing else...

Recalling that fight makes me think all sorts of stuff. It reminds me of all the powers there are and how weak I was. But even then, there were things I was able to do even with the vast difference in strength...

I remember that even when my body ended up being torn apart, I was able to do things with my soul, something I didn’t know I could do... there were other things such as the life infusion ability I used on Hell before... though, I don’t know if this can be done again.

Maybe there’s a way to develop senses beyond my body. Hmm... I would have to check it out someday... but anyways, I can’t do much here for now...

Uwah... maybe I should just rest my mind for a bit.

I can’t stop thinking about my parents and Aquarina... I hope they’re doing fine.

After the incident that transpired regarding Hell, Sylph, and Aquarina, Sylph and Aquarina’s parents quickly gathered the Amazon Tribe and relocated it from their original place.

Staying in the same place where this monster had left its dimension was dangerous. If it could try doing something again, it might end up capturing someone else. With that, the entire tribe was relocated to a farther place within the vast wilderness of the jungles where they lived.

Sylph had fallen unconscious after the entire event... and remained asleep through the whole ordeal. Her parents decided to leave her in an induced coma when they found out her soul was barely holding on, about to crack into pieces.

Through the special methods of Faylen, Sylph had been resting in her bed ever since the incident for several days. She had been infused with a special ambrosia from the elves directly into her blood, which nourished her with mana and nutrients. Simultaneously, Faylen’s Soul Therapy spell was used to slowly recover and heal Sylph’s soul from the damaged state it was in.

Meanwhile, Aquarina had woken up just a day after the incident. Of course, her parents had to explain to her briefly what had occurred. The little girl felt relieved that Sylph had somehow been revived, despite the horrendous state she had seen her before falling unconscious.

Aquarina wanted to see Sylph at all costs, but had to wait an entire week and a half to get to her home. After all, she also had to recover from her mental trauma with her parents.

But today, finally, she had come back to her. Seeing the red-haired half-elf sleeping over the bed peacefully, tears began to flow out of Aquarina’s eyes...

“Sylphy... I’m so happy you’re... okay...”

As if hearing her call, the little tears of Aquarina slowly woke up Sylph.

“Huh? Aquarina?”

“Sylphy!”

After a week and a half, Sylph had finally woken up.
