Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System
chapter-316-2

"Yes. The world has many elements, but they only consist of a single element each. There can be no two elements merged into one. While it is possible, as you know, it breaks the laws of the world. No one should have the mana to even sustain such a spell, but you are different. You have a vast amount of mana within your body that even surpasses myself.

"Because of this, you are able to create a fusion between elements and even use it as a spell. But…. if that spell grew out of your control it would create zones that no one would be able to tread. And those zones would grow bigger due to the elements in the air. The affected zone would suck in the two elements it is made of and slowly expand while using the mana in the air to feed the spell without relying on the caster. It would be a kind of elemental being that goes against the laws of nature. This is why elementals are only made of one element." The spirit leader explained.

"I see…." I tapped my finger off my chin. I was currently sitting on the ground with a bunch of spirits hanging off me as I pondered what I was just told. I never thought that fusion magic would have such adverse effects, and I can understand why the spirit leader would want to stop me from using such magic.

"So just to confirm, fusion magic can go out of control of the caster? Is there no way to counteract the magic once it is out of the caster's control?" I asked. If there is a problem, there should always be a solution, right?

"It may be possible, but then you would need to create a spell that could do such a thing. But to test it, you would need to create such a scenario. As such, you would have an out of control fusion magic spell that would slowly consume the planet itself." The spirit leader was right. To create a spell to counteract another spell, you would need to test it out. And even then, it may cause another issue altogether.

"This is really a problem…. I did wish to advance my fusion magic to be more practical. May I ask why you never stopped me during my trial phase or when I actually cast the spell before?" I wondered why they never stopped me from testing my theories out.

"Because you never actually allow it to do anything beyond the fusion process. Only when it leaves the casters hands does it have a chance of causing a disaster that no one could do anything about. While I am sure that you, child of dragons, may one day be able to figure out how to avoid such a thing, for now, while your testing is still in its infancy, I can not allow you to cast such a spell so early." The spirit leader answered.

"So it is not that I can not cast it but because the spell is unsafe in its current form?" I asked.

"Yes. It is against this world's laws to have two or more elements combined, which could potentially create zones that would become unlivable. But if you can find a way to keep the spell from breaking free of the caster's control, then that would be different. But the only way I see that happening is if you change the laws of the world itself." The spirit leader's words threw the little hope I had left right out the window.

"I understand…." So fusion magic is possible. I have used it myself, but it was also much more dangerous than I could have ever imagined. So my earlier tests with my father were actually very dangerous. I could have created a disaster that would have put my entire family and those around me at risk. I guess the only reason the spirit leader was stopping me now was because he knew me and did not wish for me to make such a mistake.

I let out a long sigh. To properly use fusion magic, I would need to be able to control the laws of this world. While it may sound strange, I guess I can only go along with what the spirit leader has said.

"Child of dragons…. Do not be hasty. Learn from what you have created and expand upon it. Maybe one day, you will be able to change this world's laws. And child…." The spirit leader turned to focus on Little Bell. "You must stay with this child of dragons and watch over her. If she ever needs your assistance, do not hesitate to help her."

"I will do what I can for Faith!" Little Bell happily said as she flew around me a few times before disappearing back into my body.

"I leave my little one in your care. I do hope she will never have to use her powers. Child of dragons, I hope the spirits of the world will be with you as you journey through this world. Now go." The spirit leader closed its eyes, and before I knew it, I was at the entrance of the spirit domain.

"Faith…. Do not mind the leader…. The leader is just tired…." Little Bell's voice came from within me.

"Little Bell…. Is the spirit leader…. Never mind…." I had a feeling something might be going on with the spirit leader, but I also feel that Little Bell was much more than just a small spirit. After all… she seemed to have some of the same powers as the spirit leader.

When I got home, it was already dark, so I planned to begin working on the underground testing area the next day. My mother clung on to me for a few hours before Rachel was able to convince her to go to bed. Sadly she would not listen to me, nor did I have the heart to push my mother away. When I finally climbed into bed, it was already very late. Sophie and Adel snuggled up next to me, allowing me to feel their warmth.

I am feeling stressed, very stressed. There is so much going on but so little time. I can only try to prepare for the things to come in the fastest time possible. Maybe just maybe, this time around, things will move slowly. And I can try to enjoy a bit more out of life than the current craziness that has been happening. To be honest, I just want a peaceful life and to spend my days with the people I love while traveling the world with out a care.
