Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 165 The Slime's Special Ability

-----

After we carved over half the magic crystals, our bags were filled with them, and we left the rest of the corpses for Pyuku to eat, including the magic crystals on them, we pilled them for him and he ate them in a single bite by spreading his body over them, it was a bit creepy how he dissolved everything so fast... could Pyuku potentially kill us if through this way if we lowered our guards?

The sole thought of it sent shivers down my spine…

Anyways, I like to think that he's a good slime, we saved his life after all so he should be thankful and not attempt to kill us out of looking tasty for him, right?

Right?!

Pyuku, I am trusting you on this one!

I looked at the adorable little blue slime sitting on the floor, as his bright eyes looked at me with an innocent confusion.

"Ah~ you're way too cute to do bad stuff, right?" I asked.

"Pyuu!"

I petted Pyuku's head and he seemed to enjoy the gesture of love we showed to him, even Zack ended doing it.

"Now that he ate the Goblin Champion I wonder if he could use shadow magic…" said Zack.

"Nah, that would be way too much, right? He also didn't got to eat the magic crystal." Said Aquarina.

"Yeah, but he ate the ones from some goblin mages that could conjure fireballs…" I said.

"Pyuuuu!"

As if desiring to show off his amazing talent, Pyuku suddenly conjured a Fireball, a magic circle emerged out of him, but it was conjured so quickly that the Rune creation was almost instantaneous, he did it as if he were an expert on it already!

W-What the heck is this?!

BOOOM!!!

The large fireball clashed over the nearby tree, impacting it and leaving a large burnt hole on it, its power wasn't as strong as my flames, but it was admirable nonetheless, he was already around the level of a Tier 2 or 3 Magician with that fireball alone, as long as he could constantly conjure them.

"Wow…" said Zack.

"P-Pyuku, were you always able to conjure magic like this?" wondered Aquarina.

"Pyuuu…" said Pyuku, waving his body as if saying "nope".

"…"

"…"

"…"

We all stood there glancing at the Slime with dumbfounded expressions on our faces. We felt as if our hard work was nothing compared to him, who could get all the results without any efforts by just eating others…

"This is definitely unfair! What the heck? I want to kill this thing even more now!" said Zack.

"C-Calm down, Zack! There should be a limit to Pyuku's power, right?" wondered Aqua.

Pyuku then seemingly nodded.

"Oh? Is there? You have a limited amount of abilities you can get?" I wondered.

He waved his head.

"Then what's the limit?" I wondered.

"Pyyuuuu…"

Pyuku's body suddenly shaped around, turning into a flat surface, and then showing images on it by molding his slime around as if it were sand or something.

It showed a Magic Crystal with a number 1 attached to it, and then 10/20…

It seems that… it has a limit of 20 abilities at his rank? I guess?

I suppose that's… it?

Wait, Pyuku is awfully intelligent, it can even understand us very well and talk back through these ways… so this slime is sapient the same way as people?

"I don't understand a thing… Whatever." Sighed Zack.

"I think it might said he has a limit… I think." Said Aquarina.

"Pyuku… where did you came from?" I wondered.

"Pyu! Pyu…. Pyuku!"

Pyuku seemed to show us something once more, he showed what looked like… wait, that's a ship coming from… the sea!

"A ship? And the sea?" asked Zack.

"What is that? Huh?!" asked Aquarina.

Then the ship suddenly suffered an accident and ended in the shores, apparently only Pyuku survived the crashing, and landed in the shores…

"Wait! Pyuku, you come from the sea?" I wondered.

"Pyuu!" said Pyuku.

"How odd…" said Zack.

"I am more surprised by how intelligent he actually is…" said Aquarina.

"Pyuu- Pyuku!"

Suddenly, Pyuku changed his relaxed demeanor as he realized the presence of many life forms approaching from behind us, I also felt them. My eyes saw a few seconds in the future, a rain of arrows would reach us in an instant!

"Damn it, more goblins! We stood here for way too long…" I said.

"Eh? What? More?" asked Zack.

"L-Let's run- Ah! So many arrows!" said Aquarina.

Aquarina actually acted before me, as she conjured a large bubble made of water around us, like a barrier of flowing waters, which protected us from the arrows reaching us, they were all in fire as well, but they were turned off the moment they reached the water.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"How many goblins are there? I am sure we have killed almost fifty at the very least by now!" sighed Zack.

"I know, it appears that there are way too many, we cannot really lower our guards in this!" I said.

As the arrows stopped falling over us, several green skins showed up from the bushes behind us.

"Let's run for it!" said Zack.

"T-There are way too many… I am tired…" cried Aquarina.

"Damn it… Mom, dad, help us out please…" I said.

Suddenly, two spirits emerged at our side, my mother's and father's spirits, which looked like glowing spheres of light and red flames.

One of them, Oculus, suddenly materialized itself into a large eye with feathered wings and a golden crown and began to fire light lasers from its eye against the enormous army of goblins rushing towards us, keeping them at bay.

The other spirit turned into a large phoenix and invited us to sit on its back… Wow, mom and dad had really been monitoring me this entire time! I feel like all the challenge was for nothing now.

Well, it really wasn't, but its nice to have backup… I still believe that we couldn't be able to handle everything on our own, so having overprotective parents come handy from time to time!
