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

Chapter 1174 The Scrap King's True Form

-----

Aquarina arrived just in the right time, imbuing all of her Dual Aura's power and her Abyssal Embodiment into her legs, smashing down the Scrap King's giant metallic head into the floor. The rest of its body quickly followed it. The metallic skull gained countless cracks that spread out rapidly, countless metallic pieces of scrap falling off its entire body.

"Well done!" I said.

"Glad I made it back in time, dammit!" Aquarina said. "Nephilim and Pyuku are taking care of freeing the robots and the slimes. They are trapped in some weird device, so it'll take them some time! In the meantime, let's smash this thing into smithereens."

She cracked her knuckles as her daggers were being held by two hands coming from her Dual Aura, just like my own, she was able to create shapes and forms, and even extra limbs through it.

"Well said! Look, it's already getting up again! For being made of scrap, it's incredibly tough! It almost feels like we're fighting Sphynxiette again." I said.

"I can believe that comparison, yeah." She nodded. "Alright, let's dance, piece of crap."

"RAAARRGH!"

The Scrap King, with its new pair of electrified, thunderous legs, leaped forwards, appearing above us at lightning speed, quite literally. With a swift attack, it swung its giant claws against us. Aquarina clashed against the left claw, while I clashed against the right claw.

CRASH!

In that moment, I quickly buffed Aquarina with my new Class Ability, giving her the [Robot Killer] Title and half of the Class Effects. The effects were almost instant, her fists, fusing her daggers with her Abyssal Embodiment into giant black gauntlets, easily pierced through the monster's metallic claws.

Crack, crack…!

The Scrap King seemed to sense that, panicking and quickly stepping back, its jaws opening wide as it released another thunderous blast, the one that activated my Divine Barrier! Aquarina was quick, but not quick enough to evade such an attack, so instant due to the movement speed of thunder that it didn't even seem like there was a window to move at all.

BOOOM!

The attack ended hitting her before I could reach her, however, her Barrier activated. Much like me, she also had it, but I don't know if her upgraded Divine Protection Skill has as many charges as mine, so we can't really gamble this too much!

"It triggered my Divine Protection?!" Aquarina panicked slightly.

"Yeah, once that attack happens, there's no way to escape, it is too quickly and destructive!" I said. "We have to quickly stop it from even firing it. I'll attack the claws and try to break them, aim for the neck to destroy whatever thing inside of it is allowing it to fire those things!"

"Got it!" Aquarina nodded, the two of us rushing to fight the Scrap King, who decided to keep its distance from us. It constantly gathered more electromagnetic energy, firing smaller thunderbolts while trying to charge against its deadliest attack.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As we evaded and blocked the smaller thunderbolts with ease, its neck suddenly started glowing bright blue! The beam was coming again way too soon! I desperately used my blood again, combining all the blood I had produced before hand and amassing it into a titanic crimson metallic shield, with a slight amount of the endurance of Orichalcum, which was slowly manifesting within my blood.

"[Crimson Blood Shield]!"

The beam hit the shield directly, the several layers I formed on it made it so it took at least two seconds to break, enough time for me and Aquarina to evade the beam of pure thunder that came after the shield broke.

BOOOM!

The explosion hit the walls behind us, leaving a gigantic hole that extended for at least a whole kilometer. At the time the beam hit the wall, we were already close to the Scrap King again!

"Aquarina, remember it has an anti-mana shield, use only physical attacks!" I told her, evading the incoming metallic claws and then piercing one of its claws with my sword. "[Holy Light Dragon Blade Arts]: [Chain Lightning Blade]!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

By channeling all of my powers, Draconification, Sunshine, my Yggdragon Dual Aura, and the power of my Spirits within me, I unleashed a barrage of hundreds of slashing attacks. Red and green lightning surging from my attacks, which quickly managed to help me destroy the metallic claws.

Crack, crack…!

CRASH!

Both claws collapsed into pieces, unable to resist the might of my attacks any longer. The Scrap King wasted no time to grow new, thunderous claws this time, and its breath attack was now almost completely charged! However, by the time its two new limbs had grown, Aquarina's attack already hit its neck.

"[Abyssal Embodiment]: [Abyssal Sea Dragon's Shadow Fists]!"

By internalizing her Ki and her Mana within her own fists, a barrage of punches hit the Scrap King's metallic neck. It quickly spread countless cracks through it. The beast was unable to react in time before its entire neck exploded into pieces, countless holes spreading through it all!

"RAAAH!"

And with a mighty roar, Aquarina quickly kicked its interior, before unleashing a dragon breath by digging her entire face into the metallic circuits. I only heard a loud thud before the entire Scrap King's metallic body started overflowing with flames and lack frost from its interior, beginning to rapidly explode. Lightning zapping out of its body continuously!

"GRYYYAAGGH!"

"Aquarina!"

I quickly grabbed Aquarina and escaped the scene, the Scrap King's entire body exploded with a huge explosion, completely full of pure, deadly electromagnetic energy.

BOOOMMM!!

The entire caverns were filled with pure black smoke. As we looked around in disbelief and slightly exhausted. Standing back up, we analyzed our surroundings. The only thing I noticed was a pile of scrap metals and a white marble. Was that the Scrap King's core or something?

"W-We did it?" Asked Aquarina.

"I think so… Yeah!" I nodded happily.

"Phew, that bastard was sure tough!" Laughed Aquarina.

"Yeah, and- Ah!"

However, I couldn't celebrate, the White Marble started floating in midair, generating more and more electricity. And then, shaping a new body out of it.

"I am… THUNDER! I am… LIGHTNING!"

And the Scrap King, or whatever it truly was, spoke.
