Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System
chapter-294-30041322

As I gazed at the scene in front of me, I shook my head before burning all the bodies. I then sent out my detection magic to check the castle, and I kinda wish I didn't. In one of the dungeon cells in the basement was just a pile of dead bodies. But I did find one cell and one room within the castle that had people in it. I flew over to the room on the second floor that was situated in the middle of the castle.

When I opened the door, a group of girls wearing servant clothes that were skimpier than what the girls at the brothel wore were all huddled together. Each one was around twenty years of age, and some even had wounds on their body. "Please don't kill us! We will do anything!"

I sighed when I saw the fear in their eyes. "I won't be hurting any of you. Can you tell me how long you have been here for?" I asked. I was unsure if it was possible or not, but if I could break the limits of cosmic magic, I might be able to return these girls their youth.

"We all came here in the first few batches when the city lord took over." Said the oldest of the group. "Miss. We can cook and clean. Please allow us to live…."

"I already said you will be fine. I just want to know how many years have you been here for?" I asked once more. I know they were scared, but please answer my question!

"Six…. Six years…" The oldest of the group answered.

"Six years, huh? Let's see if I can do this." I took a deep breath as I looked at the group of girls. "I am going to be casting magic on you all. But do not worry. It will not harm you. I am just reversing time on your bodies back to a state from six years ago. Then you can return back to your parents as pure as the day you were forcefully brought here."

"Really? You can return my innocence!?" One of the girls asked with tears in her eyes. She looked to be the youngest in the group and only twenty at that.

"I am going to try. So do not panic." My eyes lit up as a bright light enveloped the group of girls. "Rewind…."

Before my eyes, the group of girls' bodies slowly started to grow younger. The youngest girl's height gradually began to lower. Within a matter of minutes, I had rewound time to a point seven years ago. I gave them an extra year just in case. The girls all looked at each other, then at themselves before suddenly bursting out crying. Getting your youth back after it had been taken from you was not something anyone would think was possible, but here they were, back to their past selves before they had been forced into this place.

I had the girls wait until I got a chance to check the basement floor. But what I found there almost made me lose my lunch. A cell where women over their thirties were shoved into. Instead of killing them or anything like that, they shoved over fifty girls into a cell and left them there to starve.

Luckily they were still alive, even if it was only barely. I once more reversed time for these girls bringing them back to their teens. Once more, cries filled the air, and the girls thanked me from the bottom of their hearts.

I sent the girls to the front yard of the castle as I did not plan to send them home just yet. There was no telling if they had a home to go to. So instead, I decided to have the girls stay in this castle and help take over the leadership of the city. I burnt all the rooms besides the study to get rid of any filth. This included the cell with the dead bodies. Of course, I made sure to give a proper send off.

While I could reverse time, I did not know how it would work on dead bodies since I have yet to really have a chance to test it out. In fact, I was slightly scared too. With how Jen and I were able to reincarnate, what if the person I brought back was living happily? What if they came back but were not the same person? Many things felt off to me when thinking about resurrecting the dead.

When everything was taken care of, I used earth magic to rebuild the walls of the castle. Only then did I rejoin the group of girls. "Young Miss!" One of the girls yelled out as she bowed to me, then continued: "We can not thank you enough. You not only recused us but gave us back the thing we cherished the most. Your kindness is something we will never forget."

"You don't need to worry about such things. I just did what should have been done since I have the power to do it. Even if you were all men, I would have still helped you if you were innocent. From this moment on, I will be assigning someone here to take over the position of city lord. I hope you can help him out. While I reversed your age, I did not reverse your minds. I wanted you all to learn from this experience. Learn and take what you can from it, and from now on, grow stronger so no one can do this to you ever again.

"Grow stronger and become someone no one can look down on but still be compassionate to never look down on others. " I wanted these girls to become strong and use their past few years of terror to grow even stronger. I could easily make them forget everything, but I think it was better this way. They would not be naive anymore.

"Young Miss, we are glad you did not erase our memories. While yes, it is something we would rather forget but at the same time, it is something we should not forget. We will do as you say and grow stronger." One of the girls stood forward and said. The others behind her all had determined expressions. If I was not in a hurry, I would want to stay and train these girls. But the most I can do is give them a daily routine to follow and then let them go from there.

"I will be back."
