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

98 Blood Magic Is Sure Handy!

“Good job, now the stomach is open. Look, you cleanly cut through the skin without damaging many scales. The pelt of the beast can be used to make you some good armor and equipment later! Did you know I’m actually a pretty good crafter? Anyways, I can make you something like boots, leather armor, and other stuff.” he told me.

“W-Wow... Really?! I thought you were just a brute!” I said quite bluntly.

“W-What?! My father was even good at forging stuff... we were mercenaries, but we also forged our own equipment to save money. With that, my father taught me how to craft my own equipment out of what I hunted. I even learned spells to go with it,” my father explained after that.

To think my father was more talented than I thought, and he had been hiding this side of him this entire time! Well, I guess he doesn’t craft that much anymore, but he seemed pumped to make something from what I hunted.

“I see... you’re really filled with surprises, daddy. You never mentioned you were so amazing... now I feel like I’m very lucky to have you as my father,” I told him.

“Hahaha... Sylphy-chan, don’t say such embarrassing things... you’re going to make this old man blush,” he replied with a chuckle.

Well, my father was also incredibly handsome and an incredibly muscular body, so he was double the prize... anyways, that wasn’t important. What was important for now was butchering.

“Here, Sylphy. Now, let’s take the innards out carefully so we don’t burst them. I brought this pot to place them there. This is a disgusting job, so let me do it for you,” he explained soon after.

.....

“No, I want to do it as well! I-I have to get used to it,” I replied, gulping a bit of saliva.

The innards of a tiny rabbit and those of a three-meter-tall lizard had a big difference. In fact, this alone almost made me throw up a few times by how smelly and slimy it was... ugh. Is this really used for medicine?!

Nevertheless, I poured the innards into a large pot. The stomach, liver, lungs, heart, and all of that, I made sure to put it all in the pot, leaving the carcass empty of all the disgusting stuff for now. The blood was also drained through the usage of Blood Magic, a rare type of magic my father had learned a few spells only for butchering. He was a talented hero and actually knew spells of almost every element. Though, he had not really mastered them, only having them for utility. If he were to try mastering them, it would be increasingly more difficult compared to just learning and mastering more of his Fire attribute.

“You should probably be able to learned this spell as well at some point. In fact, you should try it out. You’re a genius so it might even work... look, this is the circle... the runes... and... Blood Extraction.”

FLASH!

Father suddenly extracted the blood from the corpse in rivers, which he moved into another large pot, filling it up slowly. It took some time, but he got all the blood out of the corpse without drying it up or something. I don’t know if this spell worked on living beings, but if it did, it could be deadly against wounded enemies to extract their blood and weaken them. It’s even possible to kill them through the missing blood alone... however, it looked very difficult to do.

Since father told me to try it, I tried copying my father’s magic circle and...

“B-Blood Extraction!”

FLASH!

The blood began to flow like rivers out of the bucket, soon forming a sphere of blood right before my hands.

“W-Wow... it’s working!” I said in surprise.

“G-Great job! ...N-Now, carefully move it back there. We wouldn’t want your dress to get bloody again. Your mother would kill us if that happened,” father said with a light sigh at the end.

Surprisingly, I had learned the Blood Extraction spell, just like that. I don’t know if I’ll ever use it, but it might come in handy sometimes while butchering... maybe I can use it while fighting as well... I don’t know. My father doesn’t seem to use it for fighting, though it’s mostly because he could just overpower his enemies with his strength alone.

After that, my father taught me how to take out the skin and the scales of the beast, cutting down the skin out of the muscles until we left the entire lizard “naked”. It was an arduous job, to say the least.

Then, we quickly decided to take out the Magic Crystal.

“Magic Crystals are always located in different places on each monster. The lizards here have it near the heart, so let’s see... ah, there!”

My father gently opened the lizard’s rib cage, revealing a glowing, blue-colored jewel covered in veins and blood. Naturally, that was the Magic Crystal, which was still glowing with light.

“It’s still glowing! It most likely means that the beast soul or a fragment of it was trapped inside. That only happens when you kill it without destroying the magic crystal. Good job!” my father said, taking out the crystal and cleaning it.

After that, he gave it to me.

“Here, hold it for me,” he said. While holding it, I looked at the majestic crystal glow with bright blue light. It was emanating a lot of mana, giving off the energy that fit a Tier 3 Magic Crystal. i????????rℯ????????． ????o????

“Amazing... it’s so pretty,” I could not help but say.

“Right? Do you want me to use it to craft you something?” he asked.

“Oh, can you?” I asked in response.

“Yeah, though I can’t do things that are too overly complicated. I’m not like the Witch of the Blue Mountain. I can’t do stuff with alchemy, actually. I’m very talentless there,” he replied.

“Sure! Anything would do, daddy,” I told him.

“Alright then! Ah, I’m so pumped up! I’ll make you some pretty equipment, alright? You’ll look so cute and fierce with it! My daughter is the best!” my father said as he carried me in his arms again.

If I can get some awesome equipment made by father, I’ll be better protected than before, so I’m counting on him in this regard!

“You two, are you done? It’s time to go!” my mother said as she summoned her owl.

Oh. Time to go meet Aquarina, it seems.
