Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 1339: A Hero's Sacrifice



"No, Bark..."

As the chaos around them reverberated with countless explosions and screams, Ivy and Bark remained immobile.

For once, Bark had sacrificed himself to block Ivy from getting cut into two halves, being cut apart instead.

Although Sylphy's clone was being dealt with by Felicia, everything else around them seed to have stopped.

Ivy couldn't believe Bark had just died in front of her.

His internal organs, everything was shown.

They were different than normal plants that could be cut down and regrown easily.

Arboren were more similar to fleshy beings, but made of plant matter, than the viceversa.

This ant that if they took fatal damage on their heads, hearts, or were sliced apart like this, chances were, they would die.

She rembered all the mories she lived with the old knight, and how gentle he always

was.

Ivy felt slightly bad...

She started crying as she looked at the old knight's body.

"I shouldn't have treated you so harshly all the ti..." she sobbed. "I'm sorry, Bark... I was so dumb... I was so stupid... I'm sorry..."

As she continued crying, losing all her battle instinct and drive, suddenly.

BA DUM!

Sothing.

She heard sothing.

It was like the beating of a heart.

BA DUM!

She didn't know what it was, but it was coming from Bark's dead body. Or... not so dead.

"B-Bark?"

"Ivy..."

His voice resonated inside of her head.

A spiritual presence surged from within him, rushing towards her soul.

"I... vy..."

"BARK?! Is that you?!"

"Take it..."

"W-Wha...? What are you- Ah!"

She suddenly noticed both halves of Bark changing, shapeshifting into roots moving towards her.

"Before I die... my spiritual soul... please... take... my strength with you...!"

"Bark! I-I can't! You have to live... I can't let you- "

"Please... IVY! Don't trample on my last wish! Our master is in danger... She's confused, she's afraid...! Y-You... as her hero... you must... respond to your goddess' calling of help... do not let our goddess... sob...!"

"Bark..."

Ivy, who was the least loyal of the three heroes, quickly realized the drive and spirit of Bark, and walked towards him.

As she sobbed, his roots embraced her body.

"Is this okay?" she wondered. "I... This is my fault...!"

"It's not your fault...!" Bark roared. "I died on my own... accords! And now... you're receiving my strength! Take it, Ivy...! You must fight... Please take it, the Oath of a Spirit Paladin, take it into your very heart...!"

"I..."

Ivy was still hesitating, but after noticing the chaos around her, she grew desperate.

Even more when a fourth True Demon, much more nacing than the rest, surged from the Demon Gate and rushed towards the struggling Sylphy.

She had no ti to hesitate anymore.

"Fine! FINE!" She scread, still crying. "But don't leave ...! Promise that you won't leave!"

"I won't... My Spirit shall live within you, my friend!"

FLUOSH!

...

"Gryahahahaa! You really did it, you bastard! You opened a Gate inside of that brat's Dungeon?! Ti to dine!"

The fourth monstrous True Demon surged, its skin was dark blue colored, covered on black horns, its head was long and aberrant, with a long nose, long and dry colored silver hair, and six golden eyes spread across its face.

It had six limbs, four of them were like legs, and the two in the front had giant black pincers like those of a crab, all while its tail had a sharp stinger similar to those of scorpions.

"A-Agh...!"

Sylphy tried to stand up and fight, but the miasma inside of her was constantly weakening her! She couldn't move as she wished, falling to her knees again.

At the sa ti, her Familiars weren't responding, the miasma was covering her soul, closing the connection between her familiars, and sohow sealing them inside her Soul

Scape.

It was as if it was all a plot of the God of Dungeons, he knew this would happen!

"You foolish girl... You're simply going to get what you sought for," he smiled. "Death."

"Dammit, move!"

As Sylphy scread to try to move, the laughter of the fourth True Demone echoed, his giant pincers rushing down towards Sylphy.

"Gryaahahaha! Thank you for the al, you traitorous god!"

CRAAASH!

Sylphy closed her eyes, fully expecting to get split into two halves.

However.

The smoke dissipated, revealing a completely different scene.

A tall woman covered on heavy black and golden wooden armor, resembling steel itself, stood

mightily in front of her.

Using her bare hands, which were enormous as tall as her body of over three ters of height,

stopped the gigantic claw alone.

The demon was furious!

"Hah?! Who the hell are you?!"

The Demon furiously swung its claws against her again.

Only to be et by a giant blade made of blazing holy flas and struck into the face.

CRASH!

"Gryyyaaaggh!"

As the demon scread, Sylphy reacted.

"Huh?" Sylphy's eyes looked at her savior in surprise. "That presence...! Ivy... and Bark?!"

"As long as I live, nobody shall touch my goddess," Ivy said, with the knightly voice of Bark. The two of them had beco one.

Her hair had beco long and spiky, resembling the spikes of plants, decorated with red and

black roses.

The rest of her armor grew sharp tallic spikes out of her wood, and her hands were equally armored, while her entire Aura exuded the power of two Spiritual Heroic Souls combined as

one.

At the sa ti, her Magic Circle had fused with Bark's, and so all their abilities together! Her face was covered by her knight helt, only revealing her two sharp erald-colored

eyes.

Sylphy rembered what had happened to Bark, gasping.

"W-What... what happened? Bark is... fused with you?!"

"There's no ti to explain," Ivy said. "But I shall assist you, my goddess."

She swung her hand against Sylphy, as a beam of spiritual energy hit Sylphy's heart.

FLAAASH!

"Ungh?!"

The bright blue and golden light spread through Sylphy's entire body, the miasma blocking

her Soul quickly recoiled, stepping back.

And in that mont, all her Familiars appeared again!

"Sylphy!"

"Dammit, she almost died!"

"That damn demon!"

"Kill it!"

Sylphy was once more surrounded by her Familiars.

And her body could sohow move better now. "Sylphy...! Your body is unstable, you have to let help you!"

And the voice of Curse reverberated within her body and soul. "Curse? What do I need to do to get this out of ?!"

"You can't... the miasma has rged with your biological body..."

"What?!"

"It is unlike anything I ever thought possible, and it was most likely planned by that god!

However..."

"Yes?"

"However, there's a way to take advantage of this, and perhaps even fully recover you back to

normal... But you'll need to make a sacrifice, an important one."

"A sacrifice...?"

Sylphy gasped, she didn't want to lose any more of her friends.

"It doesn't involve your friends or anybody, it is a sacrifice of your own body."

"What is it then? I'll do it!"

"You must shatter your Spiritual Heart and fuse it with my Curse."

"What?!"

Sylphy couldn't believe it.

Was that truly the only way to do it?!

Yet... right now, was there even ti to question him?

Curse has been helping her this entire ti. And it was quite clear his intention was to kill all the Gods.

Both were allies, undisputably so! "Okay... Let's do it!"
