Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?-Chapter 623 A Mighty Beast Worth Slaying

"That's kind of all I really know, I am sorry I wasn't able to talk about things before… I was feeling intimidated by so many questions… But now that I trust everyone here, and Sylphy too, I felt it was necessary for me to speak if I was ever asked these things." Nephi said with a calm smile.

"It's fine, don't worry about it~!" Zack said while shrugging.

"Yeah! I'm glad you were able to trust us… I was slightly annoyed at you back then but I kind of got used to you by now." Aquarina said.

"You're definitely a member of the gang now!" Mist said.

"That's right." Celeste nodded.

"Mister Teddy agrees, me too!" Celica said.

"Nephi's a clumsy maid but she's cute so its fine." Zephy said.

"Yep." I nodded. "Though you should stop eating my breakfast."

"Hahaha! Yeah right, I've heard about that." Laughed Zack.

"You eat her breakfast?!" Aquarina angrily said.

"S-Sorry…" Nephi said. "I am always hungry… Ahh, I've used a lot of Mana already, I am hungry."

"Oh right! The food should be done by now, can't you guys smell the fish and the crab?" I asked, everyone agreed, the smell was just superb.

I quickly moved to go see the Crystal Alligator Meat stew, the potatoes were already soft and the meat boiled, so the stew was about to get ready, the salted grilled Fish was also already done, and the crabs were even redder than before, ready to eat.

"Hmmm~ Everything smells so nice, time to eat then!" I quickly let out the tables, chairs, and everything else, including fruit juice made from Naturia's fruits. And even herbal tea using her leaves, she was a source of nice beverages.

We began enjoying the food together rather fast. We were all starving. The fish taste was especially wonderful, and very fresh. The crab claws had immense quantities of tender white meat whenever I broke them open, and the Crystal Alligator stew was rich, with many delicious flavors converging together. The meat of the alligator was greasy but that made it especially flavorful.

When we finally finished having our feast, we relaxed for a few seconds before departing. I stored things inside the Dimensional Bag and set my gaze into the Dungeon's entrance far away. Without further ado, we had to get there as quick as possible, I really didn't wanted to get back home later at night after all.

"Phew, that really hit the spot, but we can't just sit here and rest. The good life has made me slightly lazier, but we can't sit idle!" Zack said, getting ready to get into the dungeon.

"How long has it been since we entered a dungeon? How many floors does this one has?" Asked Aquarina.

"The Fishman King's Lair has around… Four Floors if I'm not mistaken. The Boss's strong from what I've heard." I said while smiling. "A fitting challenge for us! We'll show our parents we are adults by conquering this dungeon and making accessories to help the daily lives of the Aqua Anima tribe that's living in our town!"

"Alright!" Zack said.

"Well said!" Aquarina said.

"Yeah!" Mist said. "I wonder if the Fishman King's meat is tasty too… I ate so many fishes…"

"Already thinking about more food when we just ate? You're really a glutton." Celeste sighed.

"Ah! There's something getting closer!" Celica said.

Currently, we were walking across the stone bridge that connected the shore with the island in the middle of the Lake. However, a black shadow began to get closer and closer, suddenly emerging from the water the moment we were already midway through it!

S P L A A A A S H!

And it was a larger, blue-colored crab with four pincers and a sharp, spike-covered shell. The jaws were opening and oozing with bubbles. And it also had four eyes with four claws, I guess he had to make it even. Its size was around twenty meters of height, a true giant.

"T-That's one hell of a crab…" Zack said.

"Wait a second! Is this the mother of the little ones?!" Asked Aquarina.

"This thing's huge!" Mist cried.

"That's… A Berserk Crab King? Or Queen? Well whatever it is, that thing's Tier 4 Rank 9, probably… It is strong!" I said in surprise.

But then I smiled, red scales grew around my arms as I grabbed on my sword. This was an enemy worth slaying. Gathering the sunlight from the clear sky, my stats skyrocketed.

"G G R E E E E E E K H!"

The enormous Crab hissed angrily, waving its four claws, and pointing them at us. If that thing's claws reach the bridge, the only way to the dungeon for any normal person that can't use magic to fly will be destroyed.

I jumped in front of the crab without hesitating, my sword was blazing with draconic flames as a red horn grew in the middle of my forehead. My eyes seemed to be burning, as if their shape was changing. I was able to see the crab's weak points more clearly, is this the power of Dragon Eyes?

"Don't you dare break this bridge! [Hellfire Blade]!"

My sword suddenly grew in size, although it was merely flames, and then I swung the blade horizontally and vertically consecutively, an enormous cross-shaped attack of blazing fury reached the crab's claws, impacting them and burning through its shell!

B O O O O O M M M M M!!!

F R S S S H H H H!

The flames began to evaporate the nearby water, engulfing the entire crab into hot steam. The beast didn't stopped there though, angrily conjuring several spears of water and firing them against us! So it can use magic!

"That's not going to work!" Aquarina said, jumping into battle as she waved her hands, the water stopped obeying the crab and then combined with her own Mana, shaping into a furious Sea Snake that impacted the crab's head.

S P L A A A S H!
