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

Chapter 798 The Hunt Continues

-----

Ding!

[The Effects of the [Nutritious Flavor+] and [Fortifying Flavor+] Skills within your food have taken effect on you and the allies that have consume it. The Effects have stacked up their maximum value.]

[You and your Allies have received a bonus to Strength, Defense, Agility, and Luck of +400, alongside an enhancement to Vitality, Exhaustion Resistance, Reaction Speed, and Casting Speed of 120%.]

[Duration: 3 Hours.]

Oh wow, it worked much better than I imagined! And with my Knowledge Fruits added into the mix for desserts…

Ding!

[The Effects of the [Divine Fruit of Knowledge] has taken effect on you and your allies that have consumed it as a dessert!]

[You and your Allies Mana and Health is restored by 80% of their maximum value, and temporarily enhances Mana Regeneration Speed, Total Mana Capacity, Intelligence, and Resistance by +60%]

[Duration: 8 Hours.]

"Woah, this food is amazing, I feel like I've been reborn anew!" Luck said in surprise. "I have… never eaten something so tasty. And even the dessert with that apple-like fruit was really good. Is it my idea or am I a bit stronger?"

"This is the effect of Sylphy's cooking!" Aquarina said proudly. "She can create magical fruits and vegetables that when used on food, make for some amazing buffs, like magic, but stronger."

"My Mana has already recovered!" Zack said. "And even the scratches I got on my arms are fully healed, so cool."

"I feel like my Mana is overflowing as well…" Luck agreed. "I've never felt this much Mana flowing around my body. That fruit… was that it?"

"More or less." I nodded. "Though you can't abuse it, or it'll hurt your tummy. So only one a day, if possible. Anyways, let's get going. We've got two other Miasmic Swamps to clear. Let's get this over quickly too, while the buffs lasts."

Leading the party, and while our parents watched from behind, we advanced across the Savannah, reaching a place that was once a beautiful lake, now contaminated completely with the Miasma. The water was purple colored, and even the surrounding vegetation had died off.

"This lake used to be where many animals of this place gathered together." Said my father. "Elise brought us here many times to catch fish and eat… It has become a lugubrious looking place now…"

"Elise would surely be terrified if she were to see this…" My uncle sighed.

"Hmm, I can sense them coming. Careful kids. We'll be watching over for now. Don't lower your guards." Shade said.

"Okay!" Aquarina nodded. "Let me charge in, this area should be my specialty."

"Can you control water that's been contaminated with miasma?" I wondered.

"Err… I-I actually am not really sure." Aquarina sighed. "But-"

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

Before we could continue talking, trouble arrived at our doorstep as the lake began trembling, dozens of chimeric creatures surged from beneath the cold, slimy, and? black waters.

They resembled fishes of all shapes and sizes, some more amorphous than others, having giant crab-like claws or enormous spider-like legs.

"SHAAAAH!"

Ding!

[A large group of Tier 5: Rank 1 Fish-type Miasmic Mutant Chimeras are beginning to notice your group's presence…]

[To protect their Ruler, they won't fear giving up their lives just to stop you!]

[The Miasmic Swamp further boosts their strength, increasing their Physical and Magical Power by +100%, and their HP Regeneration Speed by +300%!]

I guess it is the same type of buff as before, huh? Not like it matters.

"They're coming already!" Zack pointed out.

"I can tell, I'm not blind." Aquarina sighed, slightly angry of getting surprised by the monsters.

SPLAAASH!

They instantly began swimming rapidly towards us, as one gigantic fish surged from below Aquarina, attempting to devour her whole.

"GROOOAARR!"

"[Poseidon's Mighty Tridents]!"

Aquarina suddenly summoned the power of this Divine Skill, this time, different than before as she instead of summoning one whole trident of water, she summoned several smaller ones, filling the insect's mouth with piercing blows.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAAASH!

The fish chimera couldn't even stop her, as its entire body was instantly impaled by countless piecing blows, and then, exploded into pieces over the swamp…

SPLAAASH!

The other fish-like monsters didn't stopped their charge despite such brutality, attacking us with great speed and precise movements.

They were different than the slower monsters we fought before, and the waters helped them move quickly anywhere they wanted… Certainly, floating over the lake wasn't the best decision.

However, it wasn't as if that was going to stop us, or even intimidate us.

CRAAAAASH!

Countless chains spread across, made out of the powers of my Familiar, Curse, alongside the Ancient Abyss Magic of Celeste and the Phantasmal Magic of Celica. Our combined curses and restraining attacks, unaffected by the miasma, quickly fused into the shape of a net, catching dozens of fish-like monsters, and inhibiting their movements!

"I call this… [Abyssal Fishing Net]!" Celeste smiled.

"Wow! So our magic can work like this, huh?" Celica was surprised.

"Now, everyone, rip them apart!" I said with a command.

"OOOOHH!!!" Everyone cheered, as we used the tactic of capturing the monsters on gigantic cursed nets, and drag them into the shore to kill them with our combined efforts.

Luck was made sure to kill most of the monsters after they were weakened, so he could harvest the most EXP out of us, as he needed it the most.

This has also given me some much-needed information about stuff. For example, varied in my aid in battle, I earn a certain amount of EXP, that has been a thing since I was a baby.

I remember even getting EXP out of watching my parents fight monsters. But that's not the case for other System Users I've granted System Seeds, they have to at least do some damage or participate actively to gain EXP.

And the more damage they deal, the more EXP they receive. Unlike me, who gets a much larger amount even by doing little. And simply weakening the monsters already gave me almost over 50% of their total EXP! I didn't even hurt them myself, this effect extends to my Familiars, to a smaller extent, but other non-familiars with System won't get shared EXP if they don't do anything.

Unless it is the Shared EXP given from Quests.

RUMBLE!

SPLAAAASH!

And just as we were fishing off the last monsters, the big boss arrived…
