Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 72 - Boss Fight



The king of goblins— with a level of 38, woke up, only to see his tribe dying.

Goblins ran to all directions, trying to escape the flames created by Wisa and Arthur, but that was impossible. They all died in the end.

As for the king of goblins, he roared after seeing what had happened.

“Is everyone ready?” Arthur asked, taking a quick glance on both Wisa and Jane.

They nodded, and gazed back at their enemy, the goblin. It was a tall and fat goblin that surely could take a beating.

Arthur would not fool around, so he used all he got. Fire wings, claws, everything. The only thing he did not want to do for now was to wield that mysterious two-handed sword he had.

After each step, the ground seemed to shake because of how fat that goblin was. The good thing was that he was slow like a turtle.

Wisa and Jane were long preparing their spells, so they cast them directly at the king of goblins.

A huge fireball hit the goblin’s belly, turning it from green to black.

The king did not move after that, and kept going.

It was Jane’s turn, who also cast a ball, but one of lightning. She aimed for the same spot to maximize the damage, but after the spell hit, the goblin did not stop, just like before.

“This bastard sure knows how to take a beating. Jane, prepare to dodge and circle around him.” Wisa said.

When the goblin got closer, Wisa cast a smoke spell, blinding the goblin for a few seconds. It was enough for both she and Jane to circle around him, and get themselves a good distance.

The goblin opened up its eyes, and could only see Arthur in front of him. Without other options, he ran towards him. Arthur knew he would do that. With his fire wings, Arthur flew up, almost hitting the roof, which was a place the goblin could not reach.

He opened up his mouth and used his Dragon Breath, sending a huge curtain of fire right in the goblin’s face.

The goblin felt that attack. It covered his face using his hands, and that was a good opportunity for another strike.

Arthur flew down, and with his fire claws, he slashed the goblin’s right leg. After that, Arthur flew towards Jane and Wisa to group up.

Everything was so fast it happened in a few seconds. The goblin screamed like a dying pig. Its right leg was melting after getting in touch with Arthur’s claws.

The goblin was already slow, but now with only one functional leg? It was easy prey.

Wisa this time cast a stronger spell. It was a fire lotus that engulfed all the goblin’s body, burning everything. Jane, on the other hand, used a more supportive spell, sending a lightning that paralyzed the enemy for a few seconds.

If that was not enough already, Arthur used another Dragon Breath. It was totally overkill, and the king of goblins was dead.

“Sheesh, that was tiring.” Jane sat on the ground, visibly tired after the fight.

Wisa was used to more melee combat and trained her body every day. It was not a big deal for her.

Arthur was the same, as he was not even a human anymore.

They all took some time to rest. More to wait for Jane rather than resting.

Wisa pointed at the staircase and said, “look, that’s the stairs we are looking for.”

The staircase that led to the lower level was right behind the place where the king of goblins slept. Now that the area was clear, they could explore without headaches.

After the resting was done, it was time to go downstairs to the next level.

Arthur thought if he should ask Wisa and Jane to return to Odemore, but seeing how eager they were to explore and help him, he couldn’t do that.

If things truly got to the bad side, Arthur would just grab the two of them and fly away.

They went towards that staircase, and went down. It was just the same as the previous one, and everything looked exactly equal.

Arthur knew, though, that the monsters would be stronger, and more danger would be lurking around.

He went in front, just in case anything bad happened, he could protect his girls.

The staircase looked the same, but this time, it took them more time to reach their destination.

Thirty minutes going down. Arthur could not stop thinking they would reach the underworld if they kept going like that.

Everything was so quiet it was daunting. The first floor at least had bugs crawling on the walls, and the goblins seemed to roam around, making noises.

But it was the complete opposite now. Arthur could only hear his own breathing, and the breathing of Jane and Wisa.

It was something that made them anxious. What was hiding inside this new floor? Why was it so silent?

They could not answer any of those questions, and just kept going down the staircase.

While they did that, someone else inside the dungeon already sensed their presence.

Two of the strongest beasts were on the deepest floor. These were the beasts that could turn into human form.

“Did someone enter our dungeon?”

“It seems that’s the case. How lucky he is, as we are incapable of leaving this floor.” “Ha, do you really think he would have the strength to reach this far?”

“Indeed. It is impossible for him.”

The two creatures laughed, and their voices were ghoulish and scary.

Arthur had no idea any of that was happening, and he simply went down the stairs, until he reached a similar maze, just like the other floor.

It had one path going straight, one in the left, and one in the right.

“What path should we take?” Jane said.

There was no way they could know the right direction, so they all just talked to each other and decided to go for the left path.

“Let’s hope this is the right one.” Arthur said.

“It is not. It is the left one.” Wisa answered, and chuckled due to her own lame joke.

“No way you said that…”

Arthur also laughed, but that was just because of how bad the joke was…
