Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 578 The Crystal Forest

-----

Through these last years I have been studying Compound Magic nonstop. Combining my studies of Beast Aura and Polymorphing with Cooking Magic alongside Alchemy Magic. All of them are high level compound magic that utilizes various elents together. I've mostly managed to learn the [Spice Enhancent] [Rapid Cooking] and [Cooking Essence] Spells, which I always use while making food.

"And it's done!"

BAAM!

I put a big stick with skewered squid at over the table and then used a sharp knife to slice through it into big chunks of at, everyone quickly grabbed their plate and started tasting.

"Oh, it is chewier than I thought…" Zack said. "Ah! But this flavor… the chewy texture goes so nice with it!"

"Hmmm! Sylphy's cooking's the best!" Mist said. "Nom, nom, nom!"

"This is better than I thought a big disgusting critter like that would taste like." Celeste admitted.

"Definitely!" Said Mist.

"Amazing, I can't stop eating!" Aquarina was fully imrsed into the al.

Like that we spent the next twenty minutes eating everything I cooked, while I saved the rest inside the Dinsional Bag for later. We could use this for dinner or sothing.

"Oh, there was this as well inside the squid…"

I looked into a big, blue-colored jewel, it shone brightly and seed to be a high-quality material. Not the sa as the magic crystals inside monsters, which I had already stored inside the dinsional bag.

[Riverine Spirit Crystal (B Grade)]

A Spirit Crystal that ford from the crystallization of spiritual essence that flows through a healthy and beautiful river. Often ford inside of monsters that dwell in big rivers for years. It has high quantities of Mana and Water Attribute Energy. If only a bit of mana is imbued into it, the crystal can automatically generate a large quantity of water.

Oooh! This crystal is nice…

In fact, its perfect for what I want to gift to Aquarina.

I'll save it for later so I can make her an amazing gift, hehe.

After we were done eating, we sat down around the table and started looking at our ingredients.

"Life or Light Spirit Monster Materials?" I asked.

"The Tyrant Tigers carcasses are a lot of materials, so that's a check." Zack said.

"The wood and crystals…?" I asked.

"Done as well, we got it all before the tyrant tigers ca." Aquarina nodded.

"dicinal Herbs?" I asked.

"We got so in the way!" Mist said. "Here, I found another in the way!"

"Well done." I nodded.

"Now, the Spring Water is right here. We already got ourselves several bottles." I nodded. The river we were taking a bath in was near the Spirit Water Spring so I got myself like ten bottles filled with it not only for this potion but for many other things for the future.

"And lastly… We mostly have everything except the Spirit Stones I want from those Ruins."

"Do we really need them?" Asked Zack. "Maybe we should just go back ho for now and do it tomorrow?"

"Hey, it is barely midday, co on." I sighed. "Let's just get there and do it quickly, without any other problems or sothing."

"Fine…" Zack sighed.

"I am also a bit worried of getting there." Aquarina said. "But if we just need to mine so crystals growing there, it shouldn't take too long at all."

"Then onwards!"

I quickly called Furoh, with his Fenrir form, he carried all of us through the forest in ti record. We crossed a few other rivers in the way before finally arriving at a very open area of the forest, which was the end of the Erald Path.

It was a large open area surrounded by cliffs. A vast jungle stretched inside; with many plants we had not seen before in the rest of the forest. And surrounded by all of this nature, the ruins of an ancient civilization rested.

There, forgotten by ti. Eroded by nature, it was completely covered by moss and plants, even trees started growing atop its rooftop, yet it still held still pretty well.

"Here we are, the Ancient Ruins." Zack said.

"Uwaah, so big!" Mist said. "This is my first ti coming here!"

"Yeah… It's amazingly big. Is it a maze inside?" Aquarina wondered.

"I've co here before with my father. It is less complicated than you think inside. Let's go!"

Furoh quickly rushed down the cliff, jumped carelessly and then landing over the grassy floor below. He ran towards the ruin's entrance, arriving in just a few minutes.

"The entrance's completely empty of monsters…"

Zack tried to look into its interior.

"It looks ominous…"

Mist seed slightly afraid.

"Are you sure crystals grow in here?"

Celeste wondered, looking at while raising an eyebrow.

"They do! You'll see. Furoh, let's keep going. Ignatius, Alice, can you illuminate the path?"

"Alright, I'll do as much."

"Sure thing!"

Ignatius and Alice quickly illuminated the path for us to cross, as we quickly entered the depths of the ruins. Darkness shrouded our path, but it wasn't hard to orientate ourselves, as Ignatius and Alice unleashed bright light from their bodies.

A dark and mossy ruinous interior greeted us. Collapsed pillars, large statues of tall n and won, and even of beasts we've never seen before. It had a bit of everything. The mont we entered to its depths, we were also greeted with beautiful glowing crystals on its interior.

"Wooow!" Mist gasped.

"There are really crystals growing here?!" Zack was surprised.

"Amazing…" Aquarina was amazed.

"I can't believe it." Celeste couldn't believe it.

"As you can sense it if you concentrate a bit, there's a big amount of Magical and Spiritual Essence in this area. My father told that's because this is a ruin of the god's civilization of ancient tis. So there's tons of leftover divine power in the materials that made these ruins. It leaks out and the crystalizes into these shiny crystals." I said with a smile.

The crystals of all colors beautifully decorated the interior of the ruins, making it a natural spectacle… But where there was beautiful things, danger often lurked closer.

"GROAR!"
