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

Chapter 1092 Soul Guiders

-----

With Friends and family, we continued traveling the beautiful grasslands of Cloudia. After a day of flying, we slept in the grasslands and then we continued our travels. The seas of grass stretched as long as my eyes could see. It was an enormous piece of landscape in these lands. The wind was refreshing, the sunlight was strong, the sky was beautiful, and the warm and joyful atmosphere of being with everyone I loved on a big adventure was the cherry on top.

While exploring, laughing, hunting, and chatting of all kinds of things, I felt as if time flew away from my grasp faster than I could have wanted. Minutes became hours, and hours days. Before we realized it, we had traveled through kilometers after kilometers of grasslands, training, eating, and laughing carefreely. However, as we reached almost the end of the Grasslands, we saw something completely incredible.

"Grooooohhhh…"

"W-Wha… what is that?"

We were all left speechless, standing in silence while admiring the behemoths passing by. Beings we never saw before, but that had somehow appeared in front of us just when we were about a kilometer from here. My eyes were unable to detect them, as if they could move by appearing and disappearing. Like ghosts.

"These beings… I remember seeing them back then, in the Demon Continent, no?" My father laughed. "Wow, I can't believe they're here too!"

"Soul Guiders…" My mother gasped; her eyes full of wonder.

"Soul… Guiders?" I looked into the skies with her.

They were utter behemoths, crossing over a kilometer of height. Resembling a mix between horned deer and horses. They were completely translucent, made out of a phantasmal and spiritual light, we could clearly see through their strange bodies.

They were gently eating the grass in front of us, moving in a herd of around seven. One of them was much smaller than the rest, a calf. The only thing similar I've seen were Spirits themselves. But can they get this big?

"Are they Spirits? No, they feel different…" Lara said.

"W-Woah, what the hell…" Luck muttered. "I wonder if I can use Beast Mimicry on them?"

"Mom, what are they?!" Zephy was really shocked.

"They're Soul Guiders, Spiritual Beasts." My mother smiled back at us. "Ninhursag knows more about them."

"Ah yes…" Ninhursag woke up from the daze she felt by admiring them. "They're ancient beings, part of the old fauna that once existed in this world in large quantities. You know? Before the Gods came to this world, and before Monsters and Demons were born, this world was said to be dominated by entities like these. Spiritual Beasts and Spiritual Races, thought to be long extinct, except for a few individuals."

"You know a lot!" Zack was happy to see Ninhursag take the spotlight.

"Naturally. Back then I used to spend my spare time traveling the world and seeking them." Ninhursag nodded. "The legacy of my Skin Changer tribe has connections with the Spiritual Beasts after all. It was them who gifted us the power of creating Beast Auras."

"Groooohhh…"

"Graaah! Graaah!"

The mother called the little calf, who slowly ran towards her without making a sound. His big, shiny blue eyes looking at his beloved mother, and rubbing his nose into her legs.

"Groooh…"

She licked his face before they started floating in the skies. We noticed countless "stars" floating around them, like a flock of birds. We didn't know what they were, but the name Soul Guiders gave me an idea.

"W-What are those?" Zack asked.

"Those birds?" Arafunn wondered. "Ah, they're souls."

"D-Do they eat souls?!" Mist panicked.

"Oh goodness, of course not." Laughed my uncle.

"They guide them." Smiled my mother. "It is said that the Souls of this world go rest on the afterlife, a special realm located far away from our grasp, within a Domain controlled by the Gods of this world, the Spirit King and Queen, Yggdrasil, and many other forgotten Spiritual Beings."

"Wow…" Aquarina gasped, while holding my hand tightly. "This is amazing… I'm so happy to see this with you, Sylphy…"

"Me too." I smiled, as we glanced the beautiful wonder.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

The giant Soul Guiders began to fly, floating in midair and reaching the skies, surpassing the clouds above Cloudia itself, and disappearing completely. The only thing left were small bits of blue crystal, imbued with both Spiritual and Soul Essence.

"They left some treasure!" Mist was surprised.

"Wow, they're so shiny!" Lara laughed, grabbing a few. "The spirits love these!"

"I-I… Well, I guess they're valuable, yes." My mother laughed.

"What's wrong?" I wondered.

"Well…"

My mother looked at Ninhursag, as if asking her to say it instead of her.

"Those are indescribably precious materials known as Spiritual Soul Crystals." Ninhursag said. "They help you progress the cultivation of your Aura and even strengthen your soul if consumed… But they're also the Soul Guiders' droppings. Their poop."

"O-Oh…" Aquarina started to laugh as I muttered that.

"Ppfff, hahaha!" Aquarina laughed out loud. "I guess they're still living beings at the end."

"Yes, more or less!" Nepheline laughed alongside her daughter.

As we continued our journey, we already reached the Wastelands, an arid place with only a few plants, which was like the bridge between the grasslands and the desert within Cloudia.

The beautiful sand was completely gold in color, it was really beautiful, but that combined with the reflection of the sunlight made it for a rather unbearable thing. We had to constantly squint our eyes as we glanced at the dunes due to all the light they reflected.

"Well, the Golden Dunes." My father smiled, crossing his arms. "We're finally here! There's a bunch of strong monsters here. Especially the Sand Worms! Oh boy, I want to explore that Oasis Dungeon we were unable to explore back then too!"

"Oh, that place?" My mother wondered. "I suppose it does sounds interesting. Though, it seems that the slimes will soon wake up. Most of them are opening their eyes."

"Yeah, I can feel them too." Shade nodded, his shadows spreading out, as many colorful slimes started crawling out of it, looking around and confused.

"Pyuku wake up! They're here!"

With those words, Aquarina woke up Pyuku instantly, as he summoned himself out of her Soul Scape, appearing in front of his kin.

"Everyoneeee!"
