Picking up Girls With My System

A place with an unknown origin. Arthur went there alone because of how dangerous the place was.

The thought of getting anyone he cared about near danger was something he did not want.

Arthur pondered if he should bring Kai along, as he was his disciple, yet it was too dangerous. Kai was not strong enough to adventure inside that place.

“When I return, I should teach him more stuff. I’m such a terrible teacher.” Arthur thought as he gazed down at the hole they had used before.

Obviously, a rope was not needed for someone like Arthur, as he flew down like a celestial being.

The darkness also did not affect him either, and everything was as clear as the day for him. At first, there was nothing around him, just the walls and a few small animals, but as Arthur traveled deeper, the magical beasts showed up.

A type of green scorpion that was as big as a carriage. It had a tail with a stinger, and just the stinger was larger than an average human.

It also had 8 legs, and two pincers that looked like it could crush anything. The scorpion quickly noticed Arthur and dashed towards him.

Arthur was not fooling around these past weeks after his devotees came, and he studied a few more spells, and one of them was the Mana Shield..

[Mana Shield (Tier?): Creates a shield made of mana that protects the caster until certain damage. The more mana you put in, the stronger the shield is.]

[Duration: 30 minutes.]

[Cost: ?]

He quickly cast it, using a whooping of 3000 points of mana. The moment the scorpion’s pincers were close to Arthur, a blue-colored barrier stopped the attack, and the beast was sent backwards with the impact.

It was not over, as the scorpion tried to hit Arthur with everything. More pincer attacks, bites, stinger, and even tossed its body at him. Nothing worked.

The scorpion had a level of 40, which wasn’t much in the eyes of Arthur. He cast a fireball with a little of sunlight energy, turning the spell into Tier 3, which instantly burned the scorpion, killing it.

Arthur continued forward, exploring the tunnel, until the outskirts of a city came into view. It was the same place he went the last time with Ahanu and the others.

“Huh?”

There was a group of young people not that far from where Arthur was standing. One of them felt as if someone was watching, but when he turned his head, there was no one.

“That was close.” Arthur thought.

He had used his invisibility spell right before that person turned around. Arthur flew over, arriving next to them to hear what they were saying.

“What are we searching for here, anyway?”

“Anything of value.”

“This test is so dumb. Even the other warriors from the tribe don’t come here often, and we must pass this test to be considered a true warrior? What a bullshit.”

“It is what it is. This is a tradition for a long time, and with the appearance of this celestial Akhur, all tribes are working even harder to increase their strength.”

“Akhur? Do you believe in that?”

“Well, my grandpa Mohe left our tribe to gather faithful people to worship that celestial.”

“Hmph, what a waste of time.”

Arthur was near them, yet none of them could see him. It seemed they were there to take part in a test of their tribe, and it was the same tribe of Mohe that old man Arthur put in charge and turned into one of his fingers.

Perhaps if he helped these youths, then maybe he could fetch that tribe to worship him as well?

So, Arthur remained near them, and explored the same parts as them. There were 6 people, 3 men and 3 women.

They were all the same tribe, which Arthur got to know the name after hearing their conversation. Sikyatavo.

“Why are the names so difficult?”

As they explored the place, a few beasts that lived down there went to attack that group of people.

These beasts had the similar power of that scorpion Arthur faced. It was a little hard for them to face such beasts, yet they did it using their team work.

That only one beast at a time came to attack them also helped.

Arthur maintained a steady watch in their fight, but also took the time to explore the area. The buildings there were strange. It looked more modern, not like any other city Arthur had seen.

“This reminds me a lot of the modern architecture from my world, but this is impossible.”

Millions of thoughts crossed Arthur’s mind, but one thing snapped him out of his daydream.

More beasts, and this time, the group of youths had to face over one.

One scorpion similar to the one Arthur faced, a strange beast that was made of tentacles, and it had a mouth on it. Disgusting. And to make everything worse, a giant spider.

“We can’t win against this. I think only the main hunting group from the tribe can.”

“Should we run?”

“Run to where? These beasts are faster than us.”

For them, it was a lost cause. Everyone had accepted within their hearts that it was the end, yet the universe was not over with their story.

Arthur positioned himself a little higher using his flight skill and turned off his invisibility.

The spider was the first one to attack, and the youth that was in front could not dodge it. Then, the attack was stopped by a blue barrier.

All of them looked up and saw Arthur, who wore a silk robe, and was flying, just like a being from legends.

He stopped in front of them, waved his hand and cast a tier 4 fireball that turned the three beasts into ashes.

Arthur turned around, looked at the youths and said, “are you all right?”

They all had shocked expressions and were lost for words.
