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

Chapter 1119 Saving The Slave And The Origin Of Orichalcum

-----

I feed as much Mana as Nephi needed, quickly making her unleash her full power all at once. Thanks to the many levels she had gained, she was already way stronger than when we first meet her too.

"Mana Core Maximum Overload…!" She said with a robotic voice, as if giving a warning. "[Oblivion]!"

FLAAASH!

A beam of darkness and light impacted the chains surrounding the feathered woman, slowly moving around and destroying each chain and tearing apart the stakes off her body.

"Aaarrggh! It hurts…! It hurts…! AAAGH!"

She kept screaming, but she was now finally free.

And the liquid orichalcum quickly stopped trying to attack us, moving back towards her, and covering her in a mantle of sorts.

She continued sobbing as she fell, but her wounds finally began to close, as she reabsorbed her liquid blood, which had yet to solidify in the ground.

"Uggh… Ahhh… Hahhh…"

She was gasping for air, looking around in confusion, her big crimson eyes, which weren't really made of flesh but of red crystals, seemed confused. Her face, made of gold, still had the cracks around her jeweled eyes. She had long, white hair made of silver strands of metal, and long, feathered ears.

"I-I'm free?" With a gentler and calmer voice, she looked back at us in awe.

My mom's domain had not gone out yet, she slowly walked towards her while remaining wary of the giantess. Her Domain protecting us with its divine brilliance. The feathered woman seemed harmless now, there was a small air of gentleness, fear, and doubt surrounding her.

"Sorry but we had to get a bit rough… Are you alright?" My mother asked her from afar. "You're not going to attack us anymore, right? We stumbled upon this place by accident. We had no idea there was someone trapped down here."

"You're not them… You're not the invaders… Who… who are you people?" The feathered girl asked, her big ruby-like eyes analyzing us. "W-What's going on- Ah… My head…"

She touched her head, feeling dizzy, she almost closed her eyes and passed out, but she was incredibly resilient, slowly recovering by herself. Whatever she was, her kin must be incredibly strong.

Wait, did she just say invaders?

"Invaders?" I asked. "You mean… The Gods trapped you here, right?"

"Gods…?" She wondered. "The Invaders are not Gods. The Invaders are Monsters… Ahh… Ugh… For how long… Have they drained me of my blood? I feel so weak…"

Weak?! She's already as strong as a Tier 10 entity, was she even stronger before bleeding for thousands of years trapped down here? Wow.

"Well, we are not invaders… This is hard to explain, but you're perhaps no longer in the spaceship they trapped you in." My mother explained. "It long ago landed on this planet… We are the inhabitants of this world. We've read that we are descendants of their slaves. People they genetically manufactured to build this new world for them."

"Another world…?" She asked. "You… So you're… I see… We might be different, but we share a similar fate. I am Sphynxiette Satarkpulk, a warrior of the Hegenemeia People. I suppose you could say that I am not from your world either… My planet must be light years away now…"

"Y-You're really from another world… Woah…" Celeste swallowed saliva.

"But why? How did you get here?" Mist asked worried. "Let me heal you! Are you tired? [Recovering Light]!"

FLASH!

A bright light covered Sphynxiette, but it did nothing but alleviate her slightly. She smiled gently at little Mist's attempts at helping her, gently petting her head with one of her long fingers.

"Thank you, little one… You wield the light of the Mother Star, I see. You too, and you." She glanced at my mother and me.

"The light of the Mother Star?" I wondered. "What are you…?"

"She might be referring to light magic like that." My mom said. "Anyways, my name is Faylen, this is my daughter Sylphy, her girlfriend Aquarina, and her friends, Mist, Lara, and Celeste. Oh, and this is Nephilim too."

We all greeted her formally, Sphynxiette nodded, making sure to keep everyone's names stored inside of her memory. Her jeweled eyes blinked once as she spoke.

"I was captured and tortured by them. Our planet… Ugh, our planet was invaded by them…" She groaned. "We fought… for centuries… But their powers… too overwhelming even for us. At first we thought we were winning, we killed a few of their ilk. But more kept coming, endlessly. Their powers and abilities were beyond our understanding…"

"They blocked Mother Star's light, weakening our power. They then dug all of the food we ate from our planet, leaving us to starve and grow weaker…" She cried. "And then, they captured us one after another, extracting our blood, and using it to craft their own weapons, which they used against us… Our proud warrior race… was reduced to livestock for them, we were nothing but source of materials."

"Your golden blood is… Orichalcum then?" I asked her.

"They called our blood that, yes." She nodded. "It is gold colored because Mother Star blessed us with its brilliance and warm. We eat the bountifulness of the depths of the earth, the minerals that grew down there, making our bodies strong, resilient, metallic. We are tough even as we fight in the sea of stars. But… even then, we lost." She kept crying. "My people… most dead, the rest? Probably like me… trapped, crying, bleeding… for thousands of years."

"T-This is awful…" My mother sighed, gritting her teeth. "To think Orichalcum… came from people. I-I…!"

"No, there's no need to apologize. You simply did not know." Sphynxiette smiled gently. "As long as it's not them, I don't mind if you put the metals extracted from our blood to good use… I… It is better than nothing, perhaps."

"Can't you eat it back to regain some of your strength?" I asked her.

"That would be nice, but no, I can only absorb fresh blood… old blood that gets hard, can't." She sighed. "Eating it… Wouldn't work either. We cannot digest back our own blood. But I can eat other metals, minerals, stones. Do you have… soul stones?"

"Soul Stones? You mean these? Spirit crystals?" I offered her a bag full of them.

"Yes, food!" She quickly snatched the bag from my hands, eating the crystals vigorously.

She seriously hasn't eaten for thousands of years…
