Picking up Girls With My System

Everyone was worried about Arthur, especially his wives, who could not leave and wanted to stay with him, but Merethyl told them otherwise.

“This is his choice, and based on everyone present, he is the only one that has a chance of dealing with that thing. If we stay, we will only stay on his way and make the fight even harder than it already is.” Merethyl said.

Wisa, older and more experienced than Jane, recovered faster and convinced Jane to leave. Arthur had a chance of winning, and they did not want to be the people that diminished that chance, even if it was only one percent.

All the elves and humans inside Drakonia left, returning to Slyvian after a failed mission. They did not fully comprehend the power of that skeleton, but seeing how it destroyed a tier 7 spell with such ease made them tremble in fear.

“It will all come down to our king.”

They had a lot of faith in Arthur, and if there was someone capable of winning against that demigod, it was him.

Arthur saw everyone quickly leaving, so he sighed and flew towards the skeleton, who calmly waited for him.

The Bone Lord did not try to stop everyone from running. In his mind, the fight was already over, and after he was finished with Arthur, he would go to Slyvian and kill everyone.

Why rush things and kill them now? Giving them false hope that their king would win the fight against a demigod was better.

“Well, look who is here,” The Bone Lord said.

He had seen Arthur before back in Odemore, and even though his ears were pointed, and his hair was no longer black but blond, the facial features were still the same, and he recognized him instantly.

“Pile of bones, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be far away.”

“I was, indeed, but found my way back to this place, and when I heard about you, I had to come looking. After I am done with you, that bitch Merethyl is the next on the line.”

The anger was evident in his sentences. What did Merethyl do to make that skeleton hate her that much?

“What did she do to you? Stole your wig?”

“Shut the fuck up. That bitch stole something important from me, and she must pay!”

Arthur did not discover what it was, but it was a start. The only problem was how he would survive a fight against the demigod.

Perhaps he could try to run using all his teleports and stealth skills, which could work, but it also meant the Bone Lord would go to Slyvian and kill everyone he cared about.

He could not let that happen, so he needed to win against that thing, but how? The gap in strength was too much, and Arthur was not sure that even after using everything he got, there would be a chance of him winning.

The dark race army knew a lot about the Bone Lord, as it had appeared in the dark lands some time ago and conquered it entirely.

“There is no way that elf will win. He is strong, but the Bone Lord is something else….”

“We can relax now and watch the show. After that, we will march to Slyvian and eradicate the elven kingdom.”

No one believed Arthur had a chance of winning. Even if he did not, there was no way he would give up without fighting.

“I will let you make the first move. Please, go on.” The Bone Lord said in a mocking tone.

Arthur would not hide his trump cards. It was a life-and-death fight, and he had to go all out.

So, he quickly used his dragon transformation to the maximum stage he could. His body changed utterly, with dark scales covering each inch and a tail behind his back.

Even his face changed, and now he looked like a small-sized dragon that had no wings. Arthur also used his fire wings spell, so now he looked like a half-human half-dragon wielding a sword.

“What is this? Transformation magic? Hum, it is something else. Your power increased greatly, although it is nothing compared to me.”

Arthur did not pay attention to those words and dashed towards the Bone Lord, slashing his two-handed sword at him with all his strength.

The creatures watching the fight were scared and could not even follow Arthur’s movements, as it was too fast for them.

“What monster is that? He looks like a lizard or something.”

“I don’t know what he is, but I can sense the power from his attacks. What a terrifying being. Without the Bone Lord around, we would surely be killed by him.”

Arthur slashed his sword countless times in a short period of 5 seconds, yet the Bone Lord did not move, and the attacks touched his bones yet did nothing.

He was tired of seeing that Arthur changed his attacks from the sword to his fire claw, a vital skill from the dragon race. Its power was extraordinary, and yet, it was not enough.

That skeleton seemed to be indestructible. Arthur tried everything he had in his arsenal, and nothing worked against that thing.

“Fuck. How can you be this strong?”

After all the training he did. It was not enough. He could not win against the demigod.

“You are quite impressive, I must say. Don’t feel bad. The people that can go toe to toe with me in this world can be counted with one hand.” The Bone Lord said as he punched Arthur using his right hand.

The punch was so fierce that Arthur was sent flying, destroying the ground beneath them, buried in it.

Wounds were all over his body, and no matter what he tried to do against the Bone Lord, it did not work.

“Will I perish today? No, that cannot happen. I can’t let him hurt my people, friends, and wives!”

A strong will was the core of a strong warrior, and using that will, Arthur crawled from the hole he created, staring viciously at the Bone Lord.

“Oh? Are you still alive? But it is only a matter of time now.”

Arthur was not in his dragon transformation anymore. It vanished after he got hurt. He could barely move, and the only thing that kept him going was the will to survive and the anger towards that skeleton, who thought too greatly of himself.

“What if you are strong? What if you are a demigod? I, Placidusax, killed gods before, hahaha!” Arthur laughed like a maniac.

“P-Placidusax? How do you know about that name? What nonsense are you spitting?”

Arthur was not himself anymore. On the brink of death, he went insane with only one thought in his mind, kill everyone.

He grabbed the mysterious black sword from his magical pouch, and the moment he touched it, a black substance covered his body, making him look like a shadowy creature.

The last time that happened, only half of his body had been caught by the black shadows, but now it was completely covered.

Two black wings grew behind his back, as well as two horns. Arthur’s face was covered entirely in that black substance that crawled on his body, yet his teeth were not, and they looked like shark teeth, immensely sharp.

It was not the end. A notification from the system popped up, yet Arthur was agitated and did not pay attention to it.

[Using the reserves of celestial energy]

[Increasing attributes by 10x]

Arthur did not know, but the moment he almost died, the system used everything it had to make him stronger. It did not matter if it would give him backlashes after the fight; nothing mattered.

He could not die, or the system would die too. All the celestial energy his devotees constantly gave him was used to increase his attributes temporarily.

The mysterious black sword that turned him mad was not the real culprit of his agitated state. When he was almost dying, a part of him that was Placidusax woke up, merging with his other self, and for a moment, he could not think straight.

“What is that thing? He said he was Placidusax, but it looks like something else!”

He knew Placidusax, as he was alive during that time yet was too weak to participate in any of the fights. The Bone Lord only knew it by name, yet Placidusax’s appearance was that of a dragon and not that thing Arthur looked like.

“This looks more like a demon! Is he one of them who came from another world?” The Bone Lord thought.

Arthur locked his gaze on him, who was completely scared. The moment he jumped, the ground beneath him was destroyed by the sheer impact of his legs.

A massive black sword stroke down on the Bone Lord, who waved his cast to cast multiple magical barriers, yet all of these broke as soon as it came in touch with the sword.
