Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System
chapter-269

"Wraiths are even feared by us demons. They are a strange form of undead and are almost impossible to kill except by way of soul magic. Wraiths are able to make any part of their body corporeal at any given time. This means even the fingertips can be corporeal while the rest of the body is untouchable. They are a more evolved form of ghosts that can not physically harm you, but they can drain your energy. If you get into a group with both and do not know how to kill them, then you are basically asking to die." Diablo explained.

"I see…." I frowned slightly, hearing this. If my team and I were to dive into this dungeon and we got surrounded, we would quickly be defeated. "Then what are these worm things?"

"They are part of the wraith's body that embeds into you. It will allow them to control your soul once you die. They are vicious because if you are in battle, they can make you attack your own comrades." Diablo's answer made my heart sink. If this happened to my father…. Would I even be able to attack? Would I be able to destroy his soul?

"Umm…." My mother's voice came from behind me. I turned to see her standing there with a pale face. I suddenly realized the conversation between Diablo and me was not something she should be listening to.

I quickly walked over to her and hugged her. "It will be fine. Father is a fighter. He will not give up easily. I was just careless, is all."

"Mmm…" My mother hugged me tightly, her body shivering. I knew she was very scared right now. I rubbed her back. I wanted to say comforting words but nothing was coming to mind. There was nothing I could really say that could comfort her at this time.

"Diablo, can you teach me soul magic?" I asked.

"I can, but the magic is not easy. Since you need to channel your mana through your soul and write the magic circles with your soul to cast any of the spells." Diablo answered. Whether it was hard or not, I had no choice but to learn it as quickly as possible. So did everyone else in my team.

"Then please teach me. I will need to learn it in order to search for my father. Everyone who is about to arrive here will also need to be taught this magic." I wanted to get this training over and done with quickly. If even a few of them can learn it then it would be worth it.

"Ahem…." Diablo scratched his head. "You know, by exposing your soul to me, it is the same as a person standing there naked. Souls do not have clothes after all."

I blushed at Diablo's words, but it was a necessity. I had to learn it no matter what. I took a deep breath and nodded my head. "You teach me, and then I will teach the other girls while you teach the boys. The two of us are connected anyway, so I will deal with it."

Embarrassing as it was, I had no choice. Diablo sighed before asking: "We can summon a female demon. Iena is one of my top generals and knows how to use soul magic as well. She can teach you how to do it, so you do not need to expose your soul to me."

I was not sure, but I think I saw a tinge of red on Diablo's cheek, but I did like his suggestion better. It would be hard to concentrate on casting magic with Diablo there if my soul was, as he said, in the nude. "Then let's do that."

"Then I will mix my mana with yours, so she will know I am calling her. This will allow you to form a contract with her. I will then do a full submission contract between you and her. This way, if things like earlier happen, it won't be as uncomfortable for you." Diablo explained. So he is worried about me.

I smiled and nodded my head. "Let's do that then. Thank you, Diablo."

"It's nothing…." Diablo replied before continuing: "I will need you to use the same summoning spell you used before. I will add my magic to it to make sure we call Iena. You can begin when you are ready."

"Alright." I closed my eyes and stretched out my hand. "Enslave Demon!"

A large magic circle formed in front of me on the floor. Diablo began pouring his magic into the magic circle. At the same time a black fog began to appear and slowly began to take shape. Seconds later, a young woman wearing a half metal chest plate that exposed her midriff and a pair of short leather shorts that only covered up to her mid thigh appeared. On her back was a bow and a quiver full of arrows. Her long purple hair fluttered in the air due to the energy the magic circle was giving off.

She slowly opened her eyes to expose two purple eyes that glittered like gems. She looked around the room until she spotted Diablo. Her lips curled up into a big smile, but before she could say a word, she looked down at the new magic circle that was forming under her feet. Her eyes grew big as she looked up at me and the magic circle that had formed under my own feet. "What are you doing!?"

"Iena, calm down, Master is not doing the forced contract, I am. I can't risk you harming her." Diablo's voice cut in before I could even speak up. Iena turned and looked at Diablo in shock and confusion.

"Why!? Why are you forcing me to become a servant of a lower being!?" Iena had tears in her eyes as if she had been completely betrayed. But Diablo's expression did not change in the slightest as the contract formed between the two of us. By her reaction, I do believe Iena is in love with Diablo.
