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

Not long later, Freidinia was next to the bed inspecting Tryu’s sister to see if she could diagnose what exactly was wrong with her. “Master, this is really strange. It’s not that she is sick per se, but more of her life force is being drained from her.”

“Her life force?” I looked at Freidinia in confusion. I have no idea what could cause such an issue. Who or what could drain someone’s life force from them?

“Yes, her life force has been drained. There are a few possibilities for this kind of occurrence. One is that she has a ghoul worm inside her which is easy to diagnose. They are worms that implant themselves in the upper intestines of a being no matter what race they are and will lay eggs which will then feed off the host’s body, draining them of their life force and slowly killing them. These are usually only found near towns that are on the border of places with the undead.

“Now I said these are easily diagnosed because there would be a bulge in her stomach where the worms would be and she has no bulge. The second would be a little harder to diagnose but not impossible, and that would be some kind of magic imprint on her body. This is a type of curse and is harder to discern, but either I or Diablo would be able to detect it.

“The one inflicted with the curse would have a black magic circle somewhere on their body. And even though neither Diablo nor I have detected anything, I still searched her body and found nothing. This rules out two possibilities.

“The next possibility is that someone has some sort of ability to steal the life force of others that they might have gotten from a dungeon. This would be harder to detect but after testing everyone’s skills from the dungeons that they got they all leave a kind of residual trace after casting the spell that lingers for a long time. And well, I have not found anything of the sort.

“The last possibility is that an undead has appeared here and is actually posing as a human or some animal. This is the most likely possibility because the others seemed to have become dead ends. If we do not find this undead soon, it will cause much harm to more than just a few people as well.” Freidinia explained. I frowned, hearing the word undead.

But what kind of undead would be here in the slums… It would be hard just to make it into the capital. I couldn’t help but scratch my head because this was truly an annoying thing. If it is an undead, then I would need to handle things carefully as the undead are not an easy race to deal with and are highly protective of their kind, even if it is an undead cockroach….. My own wandering thoughts might have actually given me the answer I was looking for.

“Diablo, do me a favor, please and send out shadows to search for any undead bugs, rats, or mice in the city. If you find any, capture them. I will need to make contact with the undead kingdom….” I never thought I would be making contact this soon, but it seems I will need to. I wanted to wait and contact them last because they are so hard to deal with, but if they find out we killed one of their people, it would start an all out war, and even with me there, I do not think we can stop an invasion with the undead.

They are not easily killed. They would need to be completely destroyed, or they would sometimes reattach their parts or even keep moving with no problem. Such enemies are a pain on their own, but when you have billions of them rushing your border using weapons and magic, it would not be an easy fight, this much I do know.

While I could contain them, I am still unsure how powerful the undead truly are. If they have figures like the elves have that are way past my level, then they might just completely destroy me before I could do anything. To be honest, I never thought of such high level people in this world until I saw Rolash. Only then did I realize that one does not need the system to reach such heights, just a long lifespan.

But now was the tricky part. The undead do not converse much with the outside world, so I guess I will need to hold an emergency meeting with the officials and see if I can get them to help me figure a few things out. ” On it. I will give you a report as soon as I can.”

“Thanks.” I stood on my tiptoes and kissed Diablo’s cheek before looking over at Tryu, who was waiting for me to pull off some kind of miracle. On this, I could only shake my head. “Tryu, if your sister was sick with some kind of illness or if your sister had some kind of curse, I could work something out to heal her. But if her life force was taken, I can only try to use rewind on her, but I am not sure if rewind can fix the loss of life force…..”

“Master, there may be another way if rewind does not work.” Freidinia interrupted me. “You are now a drakani. Which is also part vampire, if I am correct, right?”

“Yes, that is right.” I nodded my head to answer her question.

“Then, if my research is not wrong, vampires have the ability to make kin. And the basis of that is pushing your blood into her right at the moment you have drained her blood. At least, this is what I read. I have also read a few other species of vampires as well that are lusty and can only drink female blood, which in this case might work even if that was the case, but that is a race of vampires that can only drink the blood of those who become their wives. You do not have such an issue.” Freidinia explained. I guess she is right. I am able to drink anyone’s blood if I so wish.
