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

443 Not Everything Always Goes As Planned

—–

Within an underground hideout, where only the dim light of torches illuminated the dark corridors, several people were walking around, carrying many things, and arming themselves for battle. Weapons, armor, magic items, materials, and many other things were getting ready.

In the middle of this commotion of many people, all of the non-humans, a young woman with long blue hair and the mask of a ferocious demon sat down over a table, looking at a floating crystal ball imbued with the power of Clairvoyance.

Through the projection of the magic item, she and the rest of these people were all able to see what was happening.

“I see, so they’re all getting together.”

“This is the perfect opportunity to strike and eliminate them all…”

“It is ideal, we can finally do it, right?”

“We have waited so many years…”

“At long last, we’ll save this country and our people…”

.....

“We’ll avenge for all those that had been lost…”

“My daughter…” ????n????????eа????. ????o????

“My sister…”

“My father…”

“My family…”

“My mother…”

“We’ll do this… I’ve waited enough.”

The blue haired woman smiled beneath her mask, as the others seemed euphoric. After having gone through utter hell countless times, after having been mistreated and treated horribly. After having been forgotten by their own kin back in their continent. After having seen their families enslaved, tortured, raped, and killed. And after all other atrocities… they had enough.

And with the power granted to them by the Abyssal Eyes, there was nothing a bunch of insane people couldn’t do now. If given the tools, even the demons which were deemed as weak and a minority of enslaved people in this country could shake it all.

“Let’s see if those S Ranked Adventurers and that trio of annoying children can do a thing now…”

However, deep down, she reacted to the two demons that had entered the lord’s castle, doubting for a second… But now, she had gone too far. If she faltered now, she would only loose the faith and trust of her companions.

“(Why? Just why did you had to go there?!)” She thought, gritting her teeth.

(Sylphy’s POV)

“V-Very well, you can take anybody you want… Just please leave this place and never come back again… I-I can even give you money, anything!” He said desperately.

At the end, Lord Eastgrain had given up on trying to intimidate my family with his title or whatever. The strength they had could very well end his life. Although he was sure going to make their reputation worse in here. It wasn’t as if we were coming back to the Human Continent at all, and their names were also made up anyways.

“It is good that we have finally come to an agreement.” My father said with a pleased smile.

“However, this is not over yet, isn’t it?” My mother asked.

“Eh? W-What else do you want?” He asked.

“Don’t act like you’re a fool. The connection that you and the other nobles have with those criminal organizations, we know them all.” Shade added.

“W-What sort of nonsense are you talking about? There is no way we would be colluding with-”

“Don’t try to act like a fool, we know.” My father said. “Don’t try to deceive us, you’re only stabbing yourself in the foot. You’re only making things worse if you lie, we know you’re lying.”

The man swallowed saliva nervously, as he began coughing.

“A-Ahh… W-Well…”

The other nobles who were all in the floor, were sweating nervously as well.

However, at the end, they admitted everything.

“Ever since the coup that my country has been barely maintained. I-If it wasn’t for the illegal trade of stolen goods and the slaves using the help of these organizations, we would be in an even worse situation…” Sighed Lord Eastgrain. “I am not someone that… enjoys enslaving demons, but my allies, all these nobles that helped me eliminate the faction of my father, are… well, they have a fixation with slaves, especially demons…”

Mist and Mary heard the words of the man. Mist seemed mostly lost in the conversation while eating sweets though, while Mary seemed concerned and felt more and more tired and sad about hearing the truth.

The nobles clearly looked like they wanted to say something but the intimidating presence of my father shut them all. My mother presence summed with my father was enough to leave them unconscious every time they tried to wake up.

Without them annoying us as they were constantly falling unconscious, the Lord was able to spill all the beans. And while I heard him talk, I couldn’t help but grow more and more angered. What these people were doing was utterly atrocious. I was getting so sick of this place now I just wanted to leave.

We had already retrieved the custom equipment that the dwarf man made for us, and he was a particularly nice guy overall. So now that we are done with that we should definitely leave right away… Although I am sure there might be more people that needs to be rescued.

“Hmph, so you’ve been maintaining a whole country with slaves and illegal products, and then say that demons are useless and worthless?” Asked my father. “If it wasn’t for the demons you hate so much, would your country even be alive after the stupidity you did back then? Seriously, how could you have been so foolish to kill your own father without even knowing how to handle a country?”

“B-But my father… He wasn’t using the funds correctly; he was helping those demons… They just came to kill us in the war! Y-You know that my mother and my big sister died in the war trying to defend this country?! And he… he dared to help them after the war! They were all war criminals!” Cried the young man, furious and filled with resentment.

So at the end it was resentment again… I guess it is something you can’t really change. The grudges of people against others due to the lost of loved ones, of friends, and anything else close to that… It is not something that can be easily healed.

“I know that… we did something atrocious.” Mary sighed. “I am very sorry…”

Mary, instead of feeling hate, pitied him.

She slowly walked to his side and suddenly hugged him.

“I’m sorry… I know it hurts… It hurts to me as well… It hurt so much…”

Mary began to cry, as the young lord felt shocked, her warm tears falling over his own shoulders.

The man slowly saw her countless scars, and her eyes filled with sincerity.

Without even being able to stop his urge, he began to cry as well…

BAAAAM!

However, suddenly, the doors opened out of nowhere, and a maidservant entered the room while crying. Her entire body was covered on blood.

“My lord, something is happening! A Dungeon Brea-”

CLAAAASH!

An enormous claw suddenly emerged above her, slashing her into pieces…
