Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 1787: Intense Battle!

-----

"Very well, I’ll leave so protection on them just in case," Shade said, his shadows moving through the entire area.

"Go, my siblings, kill them," the Ant Queen Saint spoke, raising her small claws and pointing at the humans. "Crush them until nothing remains but their burnt corpses."

Her Aura transford, turning into a powerful spell that bolstered her siblings’ strength and magical power, and they charged forward.

The first two to reach them were the largest of the five, muscular and enormous. With his four gigantic, muscular arms, he unleashed a barrage of deadly blows.

His appearance reminded Nepheline of the mosquito-faced Insectoid Demon that attacked Agartha back then.

Thankfully, these monsters had no access to any Demon King fragnt to transform into even stronger forms, but they were blessed and supported by a Saintess to enhance them.

"Maybe I’ll be able to go all out here... Though we better maintain our energy reserves, Shade. Their mother is still the one we ca to kill! Her plan is probably to weaken us as much as possible!" Nepheline said.

"I know!" Shade nodded.

"I’LL CRUSH YOU TO DEATH, HUMANSSSSS!"

With a furious and loud roar, the first of the siblings reached Nepheline, unleashing a barrage of punches with his imnse, armored fists blazing with spiritual flas.

"{Infernal Rush}!!!"

RUMBLE!

Nepheline’s eyes widened as her entire body was pumled by hundreds of blazing punches, pushing her back constantly. Her armor of stone and crystals rapidly shattered, breaking into pieces.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"HRAAAAAHH!"

With a monstrous shriek, the muscular ant swung all four of his fists down, unleashing a devastating hamr attack against Nepheline, crushing her into the ground and spreading cracks through the floor.

BOOOMMM!!!

An explosion of flas erupted right afterward, as everything beca an inferno around him. Aquarina panicked slightly as she saw her mother disappearing amidst the inferno.

"M-Mom!"

As she cried out, sothing rapidly found her. Another of the ants, the slender, tall queen, rushed forward, her four arms striking Aquarina when she least expected it.

"Shit!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Her blows were different from her big sibling’s. Each strike released a powerful spiritual spell, generating huge explosions that absorbed Aquarina’s lifeforce and even her Mana.

"T-The fuck...?! She can drain my Mana and my life?!"

As Aquarina groaned, managing to protect her torso and head with her muscular arms and her Aura, she was thrown several ters away.

"Fufu, surprised, lowly vermin? This is the strength of us Blazing Ants. We are far superior to your ilk~" the Ant Queen laughed. "My Beast Aura is very special, tailored specifically to devour Mana and Life! Can you survive my onslaught?!"

"Heh, who do you think I am?!" Aquarina smiled defiantly, her entire body rapidly growing black scales. Although not fully transforming, she gained an armor of obsidian scales, her Aura of frost growing stronger. Then, she unsheathed her daggers, realizing it was better to fight with a weapon than to punch and risk being drained easily. "I’m going to crush your ugly bug face!"

"Ugly?! Mother says I am the second most beautiful of her daughters! Who are you calling ugly, you scaled chimpanzee?! KRIEEEEEHHH!" The Ant Queen grew furious after being insulted, charging recklessly against Aquarina without further planning.

"Wait, is she weak against insults? I can abuse this...!" Aquarina smirked, swiftly intercepting the incoming blows with her two black daggers, unleashing shockwaves of darkness and abyssal flas as their techniques clashed.

"{Soul-Draining Infernal Touch}!"

"{Abyssal Shadow Dagger Arts} {Divine Poseidon’s Trident}!"

Aquarina combined her two skills, as she often did, manifesting a huge trident made of ice from her daggers and unleashing a devastating attack, freezing and piercing the hands of her adversary.

"{Ocean Knife Arts}: {Frost Trident}!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Uuuggh?!"

The Ant Queen saw her blood splatter everywhere as ice spread through her hands, suddenly slowing her down trendously.

"Ice...?! This strong?! Impossible!!! KRIEEEEHHH!!!"

Frustrated, she scread angrily. Her flas spread through her body, quickly lting the ice in her hands, while golden flas healed her wounds back to normal.

FLAAASH!

As Aquarina gritted her teeth, resisting the intense flas, she encompassed her body with an armor of ice dragon scales, courtesy of Leviathan, who had rged into her body.

"Yeah, much better... But that damn bitch, she’s healing her!"

She glanced into the distance. The Blazing Ant Saintess was encompassed in a powerful bubble-shaped barrier, constantly conjuring healing and buffing spells for her siblings.

"Prepare yourself!!!"

Her opponent gave her no ti to breathe. Aquarina caught a glimpse of her friends. Agua, Silvia, and Justicio were fighting together as a team against another of the ants, the smaller magician one.

They were constantly running around, evading gigantic teors and blazing swords, while trying to attack them, only to be pushed back by powerful space-distortion barriers around it.

"They can handle that if they work together...! But I can’t take my eyes off them for long...!"

As she saw her opponent approaching, she noticed the Ant Queen’s Aura transform, resembling a gigantic blazing snake that divided its head into many, a hydra!

"S H Y A A A A A G G G H !"

The Blazing Hydra Aura wasn’t just an illusion or for show. It had reached the Advanced Stage, becoming solid and powered by the user’s Mana, Spiritual Power, and Divine Blessing.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

Aquarina dodged so of the incoming bites, parrying the rest with her knives, unleashing consecutive techniques by combining her skills.

"{Ocean Knife Arts}: {Oceanus’ Divine Harpoon}!"

Her daggers transford as ice and water combined to turn them into two enormous harpoons, piercing the heads of the snakes from her foe’s Aura and rapidly freezing their interiors. Aquarina released thunderbolts from her kicks in midair, destroying them one after another.

The power of her girlfriend’s divine equipnt pieces, granted to her after she beca a Saintess, was now proving invaluable. The sunlight didn’t do much damage, but thunder seed particularly effective.
