Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 74 A Mysterious Entity

-----

The fiery might of Ignatius continued to pummel Hell into the ground. His golden flames were fierce and powerful, to the point they consumed all his darkness and death, thrashing him to the ground!

Ignatius charged all the power he could muster inside his draconic jaws as it began to flash with bright yellow-gold light, so bright and dazzling that it completely illuminated this entire dark space.

After that, he unleashed the deadliest breath attack he could, releasing all the power he had in an all-out breath attack! The burst of golden flames continued to consume the darkness of Hell as it spiraled around like a holy vortex of golden flames.

BOOM!!!

Having lost his physical body, Hell began to groan in agony as his soul was directly hit! The soul of this dark specter began to be "infected" by the bright Life Flames that Ignatius and Naturia's combination formed, fueling themselves with my mana which was being supported by the System. Everything came together in that very instant as Hell's spectral soul began to crack into pieces, completely overwhelmed by the golden and fiery brilliance of Ignatius.

His pitch-black soul wavered in agony. The brightness of the golden flames exploded all across his spectral body as the skull-like face this specter had cried in agony. Golden flames came out of his jaws and eyes, surging from within the depths of his very soul!

"DIEEEE!" Ignatius roared with all his draconic fury. Meanwhile, the power of Naturia within him pulsated with the essence of life and nature. His fiery flames converged together with her, uniting in this all-out attack!

"I-Impossible…! I am… d-dying?! It… can't… be! Unnnggh…! Aaaaaggh…! GRYYYYAAAAAGGH..!"

BOOOOOOOMMM!!!

With that, Hell's entire body was consumed by the fiery golden yellow flames of Ignatius and Naturia as his entire spectral body exploded into nothingness, becoming purified by the holy flames…

FLASH!

Soon after that, the two separated from their temporary fusion as the stream of mana disappeared. The System fell on my Soul Scape's floor as her entire body was deformed and in great pain. She had done everything she could, falling unconscious after everything was over.

Sometime later, Ignatius and Naturia slowly went back to my soul, too weakened to do anything else.

After that, I felt a painful share of the pressure the System went through, but for some reason, my soul… was barely hanging on.

In any case… it's… over…

Hahh…

Maybe I should fall unconscious now…

My mind feels numb… I don't think I can hang on for any longer-

Creeak…

Suddenly, a cracking sound was heard within the space.

Eh?

I suddenly sensed a powerful, divine presence looking over the entire place we were in.

"Incredible! Your power is amazing!"

"Eh?"

"You've defeated this being and even through all that, you're still alive?! What… are you?"

I heard the voice of a fascinated man.

Who was he?

What was happening?

"W-Who are you?"

I spoke with my mind in response. Surprisingly, he somehow heard me.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm a God…"

"A… G-God?"

"And you're an interesting being! What makes you this way? You seem to have near-endless mana, and on top of that, an ability that lets you stay alive even in your current state?"

"…"

"Oh, right! I shouldn't speak like this when we're enemies, technically… young Sylph…"

The voice of this man was creepy, it sent chills through my spine… or whatever was left of it anyway. The worst part was that I couldn't even see him, but I knew he was somehow here, within this space.

"At this moment, you're wondering why your parents haven't showed up, right? Well, the time in this dimension is 20 times faster than outside!"

W-What?!

Are you telling me that no matter how much time passed… no matter how much we tried to buy time, my parents would take 20 times as long to get here?!

Then… will this being kill me before they can arrive?

But for some reason, he seems stupid. Why is he wasting time and speaking to me so much?

He even revealed to me that he had technically made this entire "dimension"… this space where the two of us were sent…

"Hm, do you think you've actually won? It was very fun to see you play around with Hell, but he has a special ability, you know?" the being told me.

"Eh?!"

"He, as the Lord of Death, can obviously cheat death! Did you know your parents actually killed him three times and he's still kicking even after that? Do you know why that's the case?"

"W-What?!"

"Because he has many lives! As long as he has souls within his soul scape… he can revive as much as he wants! Look, the fragment of the Demon King is activating! He's coming back to kill you! Hahaha! How amusing! Let's see what your last struggle will be, Sylph!"

The voice of this jackass resonated across the entire space as I saw a large black crystal flash with dark and death energy. Soon, it exploded out of nowhere as countless wailing souls emerged out of it, merging together into one and then… Hell was back into his specter form.

"Hahh… technically, I died. After all, this is just a recreation of my own self! But it worked once more… hahaha! I am invincible!" the skeleton-faced specter let out a loud cackle.

"No… this… can't be!"

"Oh, it can! All your efforts only took down a few thousands of my souls, but I possess billions! Can you kill me a few dozen times before I spend all of them? I doubt it! Now that all your stupid little toys are gone… you're nothing but a rotting corpse!" he said to me, directly to my mind!

"Finish them already. I don't want to do it because I don't want to dirty my hands… if I do something to them, the other Gods will easily be able to detect it…" the entity told Hell.

"Hmph, I was going to do it anyways!" Hell said in response.

With that, he slowly moved closer to me, pointing his dark claws towards us.

"I'll finish you off swiftly. Reviving fills my mana back up, so I can even use Death Beam once more…!"

FLASH!

Two dark beams reached us in an instant.

Crack!

However, as if the air in this space was glass, it split open… as a massive blazing blade emerged from it.
