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

“Get in formation!” I yelled out. We were able to get into position finally. My Gates of Faithylon were keeping the boss limited on its movements which will allow us time to begin clearing out the trash. “We got a lot of adds so I will be letting ten in at the same time. We need to wipe them out fast before the boss decides to use some kind of magic that we do not know of yet.”

I was a bit worried. This was a dungeon, after all. I do not know how things will turn out. Things could change at any time, which could change our current situation into something worse. So instead of fighting only a few hobgoblins at a time, with me joining in, we can fight multiple with ease. “Everyone ready?”

I kind of feel like I am in one of the MMORPG raid things, only in real life. I guess if they ever made proper deep dive virtual reality games, they would definitely be something like this. “Ready, Boss!”  I heard calls from everyone. I asked once more to make sure everyone was good before finally opening the barrier. Eleven hobgoblins charged in as soon as I opened the barrier. One more than I had wanted, but this was fine as well since I was joining the fight this time with Sally. “Kill!”_-.

I charged forward as a volley of magic spells and arrows flew over my head and stopped the hobgoblins’ advance. The barrier was plenty big enough for all of us to move around freely. And tall enough for the hobgoblins to still have a few feet of room above their heads. These hobgoblins all wore metal armor and held huge swords and axes in their hands as they swung them around trying to hit the members of my team.

“Steven, get the two on the far right!” I heard Sophie yell out. They were all fighting with everything they had, and after weeks of battles, they were all now refined warriors who deserved respect. They could easily fight head on against some of the kingdom’s finest.

I wonder if the Dean would ever expect that the kids he sent out to take the final test were now veterans in battle far surpassing anyone at the academy. Even Hailey, the weakest of our team, had learned how to use the gatling fireball attack I created. And she had mastered it so well that she could now keep three of them up at the same time.

As I got near my target, My body twisted as I leaped forward and swung my sword, cutting off the arm with the weapon before landing on my feet and leaping forward once more and stabbing my sword in the hobgoblin’s neck. With a bit of force, I swung my sword out, causing the head to fall and dangle to one side as the body of the huge hobgoblin fell to the ground.

It might seem like a gruesome attack, but I did not have time to care about finesse or clean cutting. I already started moving to my next target. Five minutes was all it took before all eleven hobgoblins were dead, and more were let in. We repeated our moves once more, but just as the last hobgoblin of the second batch was killed, I suddenly sensed extreme danger coming from below us. “Watch your feet!” I yelled out as orange circles began to appear on the ground. “Get out of the circles now!”

As soon as I said this, not even a second later, pillars of flames shot up towards the ceiling and broke my barrier from within. I had not made the barriers to withstand any attacks from inside, so they shattered into nothing. And it was lucky that I didn’t because if I did, those flames would have filled the entire barrier area and roasted everyone alive. “Everyone okay!?”

“Faith, we don’t have time to worry about injuries! Look up!” I heard Sei yell out. I looked up at the ceiling to see thousands of magic circles overhead. My head immediately shot towards the boss, who was giving us a creepy smile and then slammed his staff onto the ground. “No!”

Without even thinking about what to do next, my arm expanded and grew large, casting a shadow over everyone but myself. The ice magic rained down from thematic circles, piercing into my arm and body, causing me to clench my teeth. “Ah!” The pain was too much. I couldn’t help but cry out. Everything was just too fast. No time to think, could only react on instinct. And in doing so, I revealed one of my biggest secrets.

Blood dripped down my back and arm as my hand returned to normal size. The ice attack seemed to be only a one time deal. But that did not change the fact that I was heavily injured just now, and to be honest, it hurt, it hurt a lot. “Faith!” “Boss!”

“Grace quickly, come, heal Faith!” I heard Sophie yell out. But I shook my head. “What are you doing! We are in battle. Get your asses back into formation!”

I yelled out as I clutched my arm and stood up as I whispered: “High heal!” My body glowed with a golden light as the wounds on my body began to heal up. I turned and looked at everyone who was looking at me in shock and yelled out: “What are you doing!?”

“Sorry, Boss!” Steven was the first to react, and luckily so because a hobgoblin was already swinging his sword at him. The battle was far from over. We still had the boss and ten hobgoblins left to deal with.

“Young Miss just now?” Sally came to my side and asked.

“I will explain later, but for now, we need to deal with the issue at hand. Keep on your toes and look for any orange spots on the ground.” I let out a sigh of relief. At least I reacted fast enough. If my body was not as durable as it is, I would have suffered greatly from that attack. My health even dropped by half just now. That was how powerful of an attack that was. I have a feeling I will need full dragon mode for the last boss. So I will need to come clean about everything sooner than later.
