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

Chapter 489 Saving Her Soul

-----

"You… I can't believe you would be able to acquire such a powerful Curse." Said the Evil God of Dungeons. "It is made of the soul of an ancient Demon King, isn't it? Where did you even got it, and how is it possible you can control it?!"

"I just found it around, randomly." Sylph said while shrugging. She wasn't going to go into details with her enemy, especially because she knew who this bastard whose shape she couldn't even figure out was… "I assume you're the god of dungeons, the one behind what happened to me and Aquarina three year ago, right?"

"Hmph… Yes, it is me." Said the god, without having anything to hide. "I will one day get to you. But until then, I suppose you can have her back. I don't really care about her failure of a soul anyways. Abyss, let's go. Don't be foolish."

"Nnggh… You damn hero's daughter… One day I will shatter your soul and eat the fragments one by one… You better remember it!" The Evil God of the Abyss roared back, as both gods quickly disappeared.

"Celeste!"

Sylphy ran towards Celeste as fast as possible, touching her soul and beginning to absorb the darkness shrouding her. Her connection with the evil gods was still there, as if they had left it there just to spy on Sylph and Celeste, but she quickly severed it by absorbing the malice and darkness that made up the connection's composition.

CRACK!

With a snapping sound, the two connections were destroyed, and the dark soul scape of Celeste slowly recovered its original blue color, with a sky of purple clouds and the ground covered by black grass. Within this place, there was her only Familiar, a mass of black, purple, and red fog in the shape of a True Demon.

This was as "composite Spirit" created through special ritualistic magic that was composed of many fragmented pieces of True Demon Souls stitched together. It is a monstrous entity which doesn't seem to have any will of its own and was directly obeying the god's orders too.

"I guess I'll have to take you down as well. Hey, Curse, can you eat this one too?"

"Hmm, this one seems like a good snack, finally!"

The Curse flew towards the motionless spirit, as it was easily absorbed. Celeste's soul scape was finally cleansed, as Celeste slowly regained part of her soul's strength which had been being drained since she made all these weird contracts and pacts.

"Sylphy? It is really you?" Wondered Celeste. "I thought I was going to die…"

"Well, you didn't…" Sighed Sylphy. "You owe me a lot after this, so you better behave from now on."

"Where are we… what happened after everything?" She wondered.

"I don't know much; I've also been sleeping the whole time but I found a connection with your soul and got in here in time." Sighed Sylph. "I think I have the innate ability to enter people's soul scape, I did the same once with Aquarina."

"Woah…" Celeste muttered in surprise. "Just how many talents do you have? Sigh… Ugh, let me go now, I am not a baby." Celeste quickly went back to her usual slightly rude demeanor, but Sylph smiled back dumbly.

"Glad to have you back." She said.

"I-I am not back or something…" Sighed Celeste. "I'll have to talk things out a lot after I am awake… I don't know how I'll explain this to Mary and everyone else… I feel so ashamed of what I've been doing this entire time. I even made a contract with those two monsters… And almost had my soul eaten as a result. But I guess that would had been my just desserts after everything I've done…"

Sylphy didn't comforted her here, as she nodded in agreement.

"Yeah I agree you should had gotten your soul eaten." She sighed.

"Eh?!" Celeste was a bit shocked Sylphy acted like this, she was usually very forgiving.

"I am honestly pretty pissed off at you… But at the end, I can't simply let you have your soul eaten in front of me. Luckily I grabbed this one powerful Curse that seems to even damage Gods a tiny bit. I think it only worked because those weren't even the complete gods but something like an avatar made of their projection. The actual gods would crush me to death easily." Sighed Sylph.

"You've even got a curse that can somehow hurt souls? What's next? Are you going to eat souls?" Laughed Celeste, still retaining her sense of humor.

"Well I've already done that before." Laughed Sylph.

"What?!" Celeste asked. "Damn kid, you're really a monster of your own… That time you beat me, you were going insane…"

"Ah, I cannot even remember that time." Sighed Sylph. "Sorry about that, I shouldn't had gone too far."

"It's fine. Seeing things in perspective, I kind of deserved that." Celeste said. "So what am I going to do now anyways?"

"You'll stick with us from now on." Said Sylph while shrugging. "We'll decide what to do later when that time comes."

"Hah… You're so carefree, even after all of that just happened." Said Celeste, as she smiled back at Sylph. "But I guess that's what I kind of like about you. You're so different than me… we think completely differently, but I guess you kind of complement me a bit. I really… maybe I really needed a person like you."

"Huh?! That sounds a bit weird…" Sylph said while feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Sorry… I am a bit awkward at talking." Said Celeste.

"Well, it's fine. Let's wake up now. I can hear Aquarina screaming at me to wake up all this time. She must be worried…" Sylph sighed.

"Aquarina, that white-haired girl, right?" Celeste wondered.

"Yeah, she's my best friend. She's… someone very important to me. She's always there for me at all times, and without her I can't really imagine my life." Sylph said.

"Hooohh~ I see~" Celeste began to giggle. "You're really in love, aren't you? So cute… at such a young age too!"

"L-Love? I am not in love…!" Sylph said, blushing as red as a tomato.

"Hahaha, you're so easy to see through!" Laughed Celeste. "I'll tell her you love her!"

"W-Wait, don't do that you damn…!" Sylph said. "Not yet… I just… want to wait a few more years, until we grow up and all…"

"Ah, I see… I guess you're still planning things for the future, huh? Not everything is done in the present as you just told me before." Celeste said cockily.

"Ugh, shut up." Sylph said. "Now I remember why I disliked you a bit. Maybe I should had let your soul get eaten instead!"

"Nah! You're way too goody-two-shoes to do that!" Laughed Celica.

Like that, both laughed and cheered up talking what girls talk about, and other things.

After a few hours, Sylph slowly opened her eyes, finding her entire body covered in several magical leaves as bandage, her entire body was completely immobilized too.

And right in front of her, Aquarina was there, with tears flowing out of her eyes.

"Y-You've finally woken up!" She cried. "Sylphyyyyy! Uwaaaaahhhh!"

Aquarina jumped over Sylph, hugging her and kissing her cheeks.

"Aquarina… H-How long have I been sleeping?" Wondered Sylph.

"An entire week!" Cried Aquarina.

"WHAT?!"
