Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

"Tch…." I clicked my tongue. The barriers of the mages of the Norian Kingdom were much more competent than I had expected. "Then… Grand Fall." I let another massive meteor drop from the sky.  I decided since I could not get through their barriers with magic that, I should take out the ones creating them.

The only problem was those same mages were surrounded by soldiers. "I guess I will need to charge in. Once I am inside the barrier, I can cast magic…." 

I let my body fall into the shadow of the cliffside. At the same time, my machine gun like condensed fireballs were still firing off, one after the other. I had set up the command line for the spell to be one that continuously fired. With each attack, it would drain the appropriate mana from me. I did not need to be near them at all. I had no idea the actual distance at which it would stop, but I could keep the magic in the air going while I was doing other things. It was an idea that came to me when I was trying to come up with a landmine kind of spell. I was trying to come up with spells I could use while out on my journey that would allow me to sleep peacefully at night.

It was then that it dawned on me that I had no idea if spells could even be activated in such a way since they would need to be supplied with my mana and all spells needed an activation word. But when I thought about it more, there were tools and other things that did not require an activation word to use the power of the magic inside. Otherwise, things like airships and other objects powered by magic wouldn't be able to exist. 

It was then that I remembered reading about something called runic scripting. It was a way to infuse objects with certain spells while only needing to set a trigger activation. The only problem was that they needed much more mana than a normal spell. Almost fifty times as much. For me, that was no issue, but it made me think that if I can make a runic script that self activates, why can't I do the same with a normal spell, hence the machine gun like barrage I was using at this time. I tested my theory out, and it worked. But then I wondered if I could be away from the spell as it was continuously firing off. So while I was destroying rocks with my spells, I wandered through the forest. While keeping an eye on the area with the spells with my detection magic and sure enough, they kept going even when I was miles away from the area. 

Thankfully, while the fireballs may not be breaking through the magic barriers, they still made a perfect distraction. Along with the double grand fall that they were trying to ward off, I should be able to make my way into the enemy lines. With detection magic going at full blast, I was looking for the weakest spot in the enemy lines. And it seemed due to my sudden attack, they were not in the best of formations. It took me only a few minutes to find the weak point, so I charged in. 

With my sword drawn and covered in a self-made vibrating wind spell that makes it so sharp, it can cut through any metal. I walked right up to the barrier and pressed my hand against it. When I saw that it was only a barrier that blocked magic, my lips curled up. But that was when a strange feeling began welling up inside me. An urge deep inside me so wished to shed the blood of those in front of me. I am not sure if these strange feelings were due to my new bloodlines or not, but it was starting to make me feel… Not me…  But at the same time, I knew I would have to give in to this new instinct and finally drench my hands in blood. Was I ready for such a thing…. No… But I was committed to keeping my family safe even if I must become a demon myself. 

"Hey! Who are you!?" I was noticed right away when I walked through the barrier. It must have been a shock to these soldiers to see a little girl walk in. I mean, I did look ten, after all. Not to mention my horns, wings, and tail. It only took a few seconds for another soldier to yell out.

"What is a damn demi doing here!? She doesn't even have a collar! Someone come, bring me a collar! She's a cute one." The soldier's words caused me to frown. Cute? Maybe…. But I look like a child. Plus, I am holding a sword. So this makes no sense. I can only see these men as pretty stupid, I mean. I, a lone girl, have a sword and am on a battlefield with two grand falls smashing into their barriers, along with so many fireballs slamming into those same barriers as well. But to them, I pose no threat? Shouldn't they be more wary while under attack, or is this because the enemy looks down on the kingdom they are invading? 

I guess none of this matters, though…. I tilted my head to the side and smiled before disappearing from where I stood, acceleration magic combined with strengthening magic. My speed was almost at the speed of sound. "Shit! Watch out!"

My sword swung through the air and connected with its target, slicing through the neck of the closest soldier to me. I had finally done it…. I had killed a humanoid being for the first time, and surprisingly…. It made my blood boil. I felt nothing. With a wave of my hand, hundreds of magic circles formed in the air. Fireballs, just like the ones outside slamming into their barrier, began blasting everything in front of me. 

The painful cries of the soldiers who were dying due to my actions, some being cut down by my blade, others being burned alive from the condensed fireballs that hit them. Even with the strong stench of blood entering my nose. Even with the sight of soldiers' innards falling to the ground. Even as the blood of my enemy that sprayed on my clothes, my hands, and my face, I showed no reaction. I was making the world around me a fiery, bloody hell of death, and I seemed unfazed. This scared me the most. 

But I could not stop. I had to annihilate the enemy no matter what. It was either them or me. Only when the enemy was completely wiped out would I know that my family would be safe. I danced in the blood of my enemies as I continued my rampage.  While I killed soldiers with my sword, I began focusing fire on the mages in the center that were being protected. With them being forced to set up barriers in two different areas, their mana was slowly draining. The barriers that were blocking the two grand falls were starting to waver.

And me? Right now, I am invincible. Not a single sword could pierce my mana shield. Not a single spell could break through and singe a strand of my hair. I was like the goddess who had descended on the battlefield to dish out divine punishment on those who have sinned. Having so much power and being able to fight alone without a single worry was a power any kingdom of this world would wish to have for themselves. At the same time, I was internally conflicted about how powerful I truly was. 

I wanted power, but I wonder if having so much power now that I was using it to kill so many was actually a good thing. But even while I was struggling with all of this, my lips were still curled up into a smile, a giggle had even escaped my lips. My blood felt like it was on fire. I was starting to wonder if becoming a Dragonic was a good thing. I began to wonder if I should have done my research better but…. "I feel so exhilarated! Hahaha!"

I hopped, jumped, skipped, and twirled my way through the battlefield. I have no idea how many have died at my hands, but my spells were firing indiscriminately in all directions. The screams of pain. The yells for my death. I could hear them all, but they all seemed to blend together. The chaos I was causing was forcing the army's formation to move toward me. It seemed the commander was not as stupid as some of these soldiers.

"1… 2…. 3…. 4…. How much longer can you hold on for?" I began singing a strange song. It was eerie and so unlike me, but I couldn't stop myself. I felt the more the scent of blood filled my nose, the more my mind was starting to slip.

"I need to finish this quickly…. Any more and I will lose myself…." I muttered while waving my hand. I was putting my everything into this while I still have some control of what I was doing. Thousands upon thousands of magic circles filled the sky above the Norian Army. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Heaven's rain…." A high level light spell that formed spears of light that were as hot as the sun rained down from the sky. Seconds later, a shattering sound could be heard as the two grand falls pierced through the barriers. 

*Boom!*

A wave of fiery energy swept the land as the two meteors crashed into the ground. My little body was flung backward straight into the cliff wall. Flames spread out in all directions as pain surged through my body. "Cough…" blood spilled from my mouth. I struggled to press my hand to my body as I forced out two words: "High heal…." 

A wave of warmth filled my body. My wounds quickly healed up as I stumbled from the Faith-shaped imprint in the cliff wall. I used detection magic to see through the cloud of dust and debris. To my astonishment, a large portion of the Norian army had actually survived. "I guess it's not over yet…. But luckily, I feel myself again."
