Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1363: The Saintess' Struggles



The Divine Dragon Fruit of the Nature Dragon granted Selene new abilities.

{Nature's Attunement}!

And by further combining it with the nature around her, and then her barrier, she was able to create incredible new effects.

Her concentration reached her limits, as she did the unthinkable, changing the shape and form of her barrier itself!

"There!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

RUMBLE!

Her barrier suddenly started to absorb nature itself, growing larger and stronger, and even growing hundreds of giant spears, these were weapons of her own vision and imagination. Such weapons, made of wood and barrier magic, spiraled at incredible speeds, overflowing with the might of her Draconic Power and Mana, piercing the bodies of nearby beasts! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

The Demonic Beast bodies, which were insanely tough and powerful, exploded into pieces one after another, some were barely left alive, slowly dying with huge holes in their bodies.

"Amazing..."

Selene could hardly believe it! She had never felt so spiritually attuned with nature itself, despite being supposedly the Saintess of the Arboren, the children of nature and plants themselves.

"I will fight too, for my children...!" she said. "So please, everyone! Give me your strength as well!"

Selene gave words of inspiration to her people, although fighting on their own was unthinkable as they would immediately burn to death, they did something different.

They immediately understood what their Saintess truly meant, the Arboren, once born from Sylphy's Harvest Familiars, the product and creation a skill made by the System, were now individuals of their own.

They had souls, they had their own minds, personalities, and thoughts. They were people, and no longer fabrications of the system. The Civilization System might be boosting their growth as a species, but they were... their own people!

"Saintess... please save us!"

"Take it all, take my Mana if you must!"

"Take my powers..."

"I have very little, but please take it... protect my children, please!"

"We don't want to die...!"

"After learning what is truly to be people... we don't want to die!"

"Please... take it all!"

"Oh Saintess, save us!"

The Arboren prayed to their Saintess, the direct medium to their creator, their goddess, Sylph. Their Auras surged, endlessly connecting with the Soul and Mana of the Saintess.

Selene shed a tear, as she heard their pleas for help, and received their Mana, the energy of hundreds of people all at once, condensing together into her body, making her powers overflow.

This Mana, the Mana of the Arboren, was not the same as Sylph's Mana. It contained the very essence of their lifeblood and souls, it was green and gold colored, imbued with the Elements of Life and Nature itself.

"I've heard you loud and clear, everyone!" Selene nodded. "Your powers, your cumulative strength, it shall be used to save you!"

FLAAAASH!

Selene unleashed all their power as countless rivers of green and gold energies reached the barrier, shapeshifting it into larger spears and even firing beams of light.

Dozens after dozens of Demonic Beasts were being rapidly killed, reaching a hundred in only a minute, explosions constantly erupted around her area of protection.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"Ivy... You're fighting so hard...!" Selene smiled as she saw Ivy fight, unleashing her powerful Divine Spiritual Nature Flames and her Spiritual Swordsmanship techniques. "I see you, I am definitely seeing you fight your best! You're so amazing... You're so incredible! Yet... Ugh!" However, suddenly Selene fell to her knees again, gasping for air, feeling weaker and weaker. "I-I can't... It's so much, such a huge pressure...!" she muttered. "These powers exhaust me to no end... Am I... not fit for this responsibility? My hear... wavers even now. Why is that? What do I lack?"

She looked into the skies, at her goddess, and then at her own self.

Her own... self?

"I was born as their Saintess, I live for them and their protection but..."

"Is this my curse too?"

Born as their Saintess, born as their guardian, her own self, her own personality, her own future, it is all already made, she is the Saintess and nothing else.

Although she wants to save them with everything she has, this new power she was

developing, it weakened as her heart wavered.

Deep down, Selene had a different thought than what she spoke, even though she sincerely

loved and wanted to protect them.

She also felt...

Tired of this responsibility already.

Bark was dead, Ivy was risking her life to fight, a giant true demon was threatening the entire

world she loved, the Arboren despaired, so weak they could only rely on her miracles.

It was too much, she didn't want to, but she felt... frustrated and angered with everything!

"Why is this happening to me?"

"Why is Bark dead?"

"Why did the Goddess let this all happen?"

"And why... why are you all so..."

"So useless..."

She felt angered and frustration, dark emotions she wanted to hide within her pure heart, yet

she simply couldn't.

"The world is an unfair place, dear."

"But because it's unfair, it doesn't mean it's all bad!"

However, as she despaired, two voices reverberated behind her, Selene panicked, thinking

that someone might have heard her ramblings.

Yet what greeted her were two beautiful and adorable Spirits of Nature, a beautiful fairy, only

a persona, a form of a bigger being, a tree and a spirit at the same time.

Although at surface she resembled an adult and beautiful fairy with green hair and a leaf dress, her aura, and her soul, belonged to a gigantic spirit tree, mother of hundreds of trees,

of a forest.

And the second spirit was a cute girl, with brown skin and green hair, a translucent dress of green and gold, and an innocent smile befitting of her equally innocent heart. Her connection with the fairy was deep, intrinsic, they were family, she was her daughter. "Y-You... Who are you?" Selene muttered. "I'm sorry, d-did you heard what I said? I have been feeling so sad that I ended saying such things, I apologize for-"

"There's no need to apologize," said the fairy. "My name is Yggdra, and I am one of Sylph's

Familiars and Contracted Spirits."

"And I'm Naturia, the same! Nice to meetcha!" Naturia giggled cutely.

"Y-You're the Goddess Spirits?!" Selene panicked even more.

"Yes, and we've come here to help you set your heart in the right place," Yggdra smiled

gently. "Let us make a contract."
