Picking up Girls With My System

276 Arthur's True Power



One versus an army. That was the feeling Arthur had when facing ten Official Mages at the same time! He was not sure he could defeat all of them.

While Laura, Jeremy and Richard ran as fast as they could toward the place Arthur marked on the map, he was standing still, waiting for those mages to come.

It did not take long for the mages to catch up with him. Ten mages with black cloaks appeared, surprised to see Arthur standing there, alone.

There was one who looked like the person in charge. He come up to the front and said, “Oh? Did you give up already? I am sure you are not thinking of fighting against all of us, right?”

They all laughed, not understanding why Arthur did not flee. At least he would have a slight chance of surviving.

As for Arthur, he knew words were useless in that situation. No matter what he said, these people would not let him off. What he could do was go all out at the start, and take them by surprise!

Arthur’s body pumped up more blood than usual, and then it completely changed for his ordinary human looks to that of an immense lizard-like creature!

He was almost reaching level 100, and that would allow him to turn into a true dragon! But as of now, he still looked more like a lizard.

“What the fuck is this?”

The mages saw the scene and could not understand what was happening. They had never seen a spell like that, so what could it be?

It was not even the end, as Arthur also used his Monlog Giant power, increasing the size of his body to even greater heights. A black substance covered his body, making his scales all tinged black!

Then he leaped forward, choosing randomly from one mage. While using his two transformations, his attributes increased by a lot! His strength of 412 points increased more than the double, reaching over 1000!

Not only that, but his agility was also unmatched. He was so fast it looked like he was disappearing throughout the forest! In less than a second, he was already in front of that mage, ripping its body apart using his claws!

The mage had no time to react as his body was split in half, and his guts fell to the ground. Even after death, the surprised eyes were still on his face, unwilling to accept death.

Anyone who saw such a scene would be scared, shocked, and that gave Arthur one more move without them fighting back! He dashed toward the mage who was the closest to his position.

He opened up his mouth and devoured the man, chewing his entire head! A disgusting scene, but for Arthur, who was not a human anymore, it was not a big deal.

“M-monster!”

For a second, all these mages had the thought of running, but then they remembered the orders from their superiors, who were rank 2 mages! They had to deal with Arthur, no matter what.

Each one of them started their own spell. The first thing they wished was to somehow lock Arthur in place, as it was impossible for them to aim a spell at him, giving him incredible speed.

Arthur saw the countless magical circles appearing around him, but he did not stop. He went toward another mage who even tried to dodge, all to nothing!

A claw pierced through his stomach, killing him instantaneously. But as he finished killing the third mage, the other seven mages had their spells ready, throwing them at him!

Most of those spells had the shadow element, as it was the common element of the dark arts! The shock they once had after witnessing the death of their friends was now gone, replaced by the pure joy of blasting Arthur with their spells!

“We did it! We killed the monster!”

That was what most of them thought, but those spells were exactly what Arthur was waiting for. What could be fastest than his incredible body? A teleport!

Arthur had the talent for space-time magic, one of the rarest things, at least on that planet he currently was. A teleport with an instant cast. The mages around Arthur did not even see him disappear, as the dust and particles of all those spells made it impossible for them to see a thing.

“Look at all those dumb mages.” Arthur thought as he looked at them from the top of a tree.

He had used his teleport to avoid all the spells, but did not go far, as he still needed to finish them. With just a glance, he noticed four mages out of the seven were close to each other, as they thought the fight was already over.

It was the perfect opportunity for Arthur to kill them! He knew a spell would catch their attention, and in a melee fight, it would be hard to finish all the four fast enough.

Well, it was a good thing he still had his dragon abilities, especially his powerful dragon breath while in his transformation.

From the top of the tree, Arthur’s belly and mouth expanded, and then a powerful fire came out of it, aimed directly at the mages, in particular the four who were close to each other.

All of that happened instantaneously. The mages were all fine and laughing, and then a massive fire engulfed them, turning four of them into charcoaled bodies.

“Huh?”

The remaining three could not fully understand what had happened, at least not in the first few seconds after the attack.

Was there someone else nearby that attacked them? That should be the only explanation, as there was no way Arthur could escape from all of those spells alive.

But when they turned around to look in the direction where the fire came from, they saw it! A terrifying lizard sat at the top of a tree, gazing at them with snake-like eyes.

Before, they still had some courage to go up against him, but now? Out of ten mages, only three remained. What they had in mind now was to run as fast as they could away from that beast, but would Arthur allow them?

Of course not! He jumped from that tree, leaping at one mage who was so scared at the scene that he did not even move! Arthur grabbed the heart of that mage, pulling it out of its body!

The other two finally returned to their senses, activating their flight spells, escaping from the battle using everything they got.

Two fire wings grew on Arthur’s back, and he flew in the chase of the two remaining mages. One by one, they fell, leaving a pile of corpses in that forest.

Arthur was not a fool, so he obviously plundered the magical pouches of those mages, earning a few decent items, such as mana stones.

After that, his transformation ended, and he sheltered under a tree for a rest. It was difficult to use all of those powers. Even though the strength he got from it was extraordinary, everything had a price!

He was still recovering as well, having only his right arm. Laura and the others already knew where to go and would not stop at any cost!

“The spot I marked is close to where Odemore is being built!”

With all of this mess happening, Arthur wanted to see his wives again, and warn them about everything. Based on what he saw back at the city, the dark mages had assembled together to take control of the central continent!

A war was coming, and this time, Arthur had to fight. The central continent was the only place with enough resources to allow him to reach greater heights and eventually leave the planet.

What would he do if the entire place turned into a mess? Now, even though a war was a troublesome time, it still had plenty of opportunities to capitalize on.

For example, those who performed well in a war would get lots of resources. Arthur was not sure if he would still get the position it was promised to him before the tournament, but performing well in the upcoming war would surely give him a lot of benefits.

“I should start moving, or else they will get too far.” Arthur thought, getting up from the ground, moving toward the direction where Laura and the others went.

After a few minutes of flying, he sensed them, but remained hidden. The presence of an Official Mage with them would make them stand out more, prone to receive more attacks from dark mages, as well as bandits.

The best thing he could do was stay hidden, and only appear to protect them in case someone strong attacked them.

“Is he okay?” Jeremy said.

Laura was just beside him with a worried face, but when she thought about Arthur and his incredible power, she was certain there was no way he would lose his life that easily.

“I am sure he is fine. We should focus on reaching the place he marked and wait for him there!”

“You are right!”

With positive thoughts, they marched forward, not knowing Arthur was nearby, watching them from the shadows.
