Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? - Chapter 1991: A Second Dungeon Core

Chapter 1991: A Second Dungeon Core

—–

There were several dungeons in the mountains where the dwarves lived. Each one was essential to their economy, supplying the resources they needed for daily life—from food to magical materials, ores, metals, crystals, mana sources, and much more.

The main dungeons included:

The Goo Farm Dungeon.

The Blind Fish Dungeon.

The Swamp Shrimp Dungeon.

The Dark Savanna Dungeon.

The Glacial Caves Dungeon.

The Burning Forest Dungeon.

The Poison Swamp Dungeon.

The Stone Cathedral Dungeon.

And the Insect Nest Dungeon.

Beyond these stood the higher-level dungeons:

The Giant Beast Dungeon.

The Underwater Abyss Dungeon.

The Volcanic Hellscape Dungeon.

The Aberrant Jungle Dungeon.

And the Underground Tower Dungeon.

The Dragon Tomb Dungeon remained the highest level. Our parents were currently handling those high-level ones while leaving the Dragon Tomb Dungeon, where the dark presence felt strongest, untouched for the time being.

The teams I had assigned were:

Lara and Mist went to the Goo Farm Dungeon.

Celeste and Ruby went to the Blind Fish Dungeon.

Zephyrus and Celica went to the Swamp Shrimp Dungeon.

Aquarina went to the Dark Savanna Dungeon.

And I had recently completed the Glacial Caves Dungeon and assimilated it into my main Dungeon.

Now my next task was to convert these dungeons into my authority. They had already been weakened, and my friends had cleared the monsters inside. Once that was done, we would move on to the rest tomorrow. It seemed none of them had taken more than a single day to clear—understandable, since they were noticeably weaker than the one I had faced. Everyone had grown incredibly strong.

The closest one was the Dark Savanna Dungeon, so we headed there first. Aquarina led us inside. The dwarves guarding the entrance looked confused about why we were returning, but Aquarina calmly explained that she might have missed another boss monster.

They let us through without further argument. As young heroes—and with me, a princess, leading them—they had little choice, even if they doubted our story.

The interior began as a long cave that soon opened into a vast area beneath a dark red sky filled with purple clouds. The landscape was a sprawling savanna of dark purple and red grasses stretching across endless plains. There were also patches of greenery and scattered forests. The corrupted zones were already fading now that Aquarina had slain the bosses.

Guided by my divine eyes, we moved through the open lands until we reached a hole in the ground, a small cave where ground-dwelling creatures emerged. Giant moles, still infected, lunged at us. Aquarina realized she had overlooked them.

They weren’t difficult to dispatch. All Tier 8. With Aquarina and me at the center, we cut and smashed our way forward, eventually facing a mini-boss: an eight-armed giant mole king. It wasn’t classified as a true boss but came close.

The creature made the ground tremble. It could dig through mountains and shatter them apart—a towering, hundred-meter-tall beast armored in infected miasmic crystals.

However…

“Divine Sword Aura Slash.”

SLAAASH!

A single skill from Scarlet sliced it cleanly in two. It exploded in a burst of divine light and flames, dead instantly.

BOOOM!

“It’s done. It should be right here.”

I asked Brownie to clear away the excess dirt. Glutton devoured it all to open the path forward. Slowly we reached the same blue wall of Dimension Stone we had seen before.

With Aquarina, my friends, Nephilim, Armageddon, Scarlet, Sapphire, and Erebus, we shattered that wall in just five minutes.

CRAAASH!

Glutton consumed the debris to save it as materials for later. We stepped into a vast chamber where the Dark Savanna Dungeon Core glowed with an ominous black-and-green light.

Alice created another System Seed—this one cost me 25 million—and I placed it inside. Yggdra extended her Spiritual Soul Fragment into it, transforming the seed just as before.

With Armageddon’s assistance, we refined the Dungeon Core in minutes, and…

FLAAASH!

The green core suddenly shifted to red and gold, etched with intricate runes. The authority it once held flowed into me. I felt its spatial existence appear within the cosmic nebula of my Dungeon, alongside the Glacial Caves Dungeon.

Once again, absorbing a Dungeon Core brought an immense rush of Divine Power surging through my body, soul, and spiritual heart.

“This is amazing—it worked…!” Aquarina said.

“You really did it?!” Mist asked.

“Wooah!” Celica said in awe.

Ding!

[Congratulations, you have successfully refined the Dungeon Core of the Dark Savanna Dungeon and made the Dungeon your own.]

[You have officially become the new God and Authority of the Dungeon, taking it from the previous owner.]

[Additionally, your Dungeon has created a new Floor including the Dark Savanna Dungeon and adding it to its repertoire.]

[The Floor will be connected to your Dungeon, and you will be able to access it at any time and bring whoever you want, but inhabitants of your Dungeon cannot enter it on their own unless granted special permissions.]

[You can now manage the Sub-Dungeon Floor, {Dark Savanna Dungeon}!]

[Do you wish to expand it? To add new monsters? To make it larger and more durable? You can use Dungeon Points for all of that.]

But that was not all. Yggdra’s presence manifested from the Core. Brilliant wooden branches and roots grew everywhere, wrapping around the dungeon core until it nearly vanished—now protected beneath yet another of her new bodies.

“It’s done!” Yggdra said. “This was easier than before.”

“Yeah!” I nodded. “I guess we could expand it right away—no, is it worth it? Maybe just having them under my authority is enough. The Glacial Caves Dungeon is the highest level anyway. Still, this will be useful. If I ever need a wider variety of materials, I can find them here.”

“Yeah, let’s hurry,” Aquarina said. “On to the next dungeon!”

We walked outside. I felt my vision expand; I could now see the entire dungeon at a glance. It had an artificial sky and a magical sun projection, much like the first floor of my original Dungeon.

Afterward we headed toward the Swamp Shrimp Dungeon. This time the dwarves were suspicious. They questioned why we wanted to enter an already cleared dungeon and told us to go rest.

Their pushiness really got on my nerves.

“Who are you to tell us what to do?” I asked coldly. “I am the princess of the elven kingdom, daughter of the Hero of the Blazing Sword and the Saintess of Holy Light, granddaughter of the Elven King and the Fairy Queen! With one word I can have you both removed from your positions—and that’s me being nice. I can do far worse.”

“…!”

“…What…?! Damn brat—”

Before the second guard—still seated on his golem—could finish, his companion slammed the golem’s hand over his mouth to silence him.
