Picking up Girls With My System

The fight ended, and Arthur was the one who won it. He was unsurprised at that outcome, as though he had never seen a rank-five mage before. Arthur knew it was an existence no one on that planet could go up against.

"How can we seal that thing on the sky?" Arthur asked Beatrice.

She looked at it, analyzed it, and then said, "you can fly up there and try to merge the two sides of the rift into one, therefore closing it. Arthur, you will have to rely on the power I am giving you, as that is the only way for you to do it."

Arthur had heard Claridge say the only way for him to close the rift was to have the power of a rank-five mage, which he did not believe Arthur had. But he did and seeing as it was temporary, Arthur flew up toward the rift right after he killed Claridge.

While he was going up there, another voice echoed inside his head.

"Old Nefion? How are you communicating with me? Haha, how are you, old man? I miss you," Arthur said inside his mind.

It was hard for him to hold on to the tears, as Nefion was someone important to him, like a grandpa, and it had been a long time since they had seen each other.

"Brat, I reached rank four, so I can talk mentally with you. Yes, you heard it right, the first dragon to reach rank four."

"Grandpa, I reached it too. And right now, I am at rank-five, but it is temporary."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Old Nefion, are you there?"

"..."

"Brat, this is not fair! Anyway, did you see that rift in the sky? You probably did, as you are not blind. How can we close it?"

"I am working on it! Focus on protecting the people of the central continent. Also, there are other dragons here, Nefion, and we are preparing to take over this continent and the world. Our race will rule again and do right for everyone."

"What? Are you serious? Haha, this is incredible. We can make this world a decent place like it was long ago. Anyway, I will go back and protect everyone I can, and I am counting on you to close that freaking rift. See ya, and message me if you can after this ends. Also, come back home, too, brat. Everyone here wants to see you."

Nefion then stopped talking inside Arthur's mind and went to do other things, like protecting those who could not defend themselves.

"Who was that?" Beatrice asked as she had heard the entire conversation between the two.

"A dragon, and someone I see as my grandpa. Now, let's close this rift."

Arthur flew at a fast rate with the help of his red mantle. It got even quicker now that he was a rank-five mage, and that meant the treasure could only be used at its full extent once Arthur got stronger, which would take some time.

In the meantime, Arthur's main body, inside the Von Stein family castle, was trying to find where they were holding Sybille as a prisoner. Sure, he could go up and merge with his avatar to increase its strength, but that was not necessary, and as everyone was in total chaos, it was the perfect chance for him to find where Sybille was.

So, he left that dungeon where he saw Tessa and went into complete stealth mode, using his shapeshifting spell to turn into a minor bug, flying around in and out of the castle.

Alastair and Harker, the two rank four vampires, were busy trying to fend off the horde of beasts attacking the weaker vampires and the other citizens of their territory.

That was happening everywhere and not only there, so everyone was busy fighting except Arthur.

Arthur went toward the room where the rank four vampires lived, where he found a door with multiple magical formations, presumably where Sybille was. At least, he hoped so.

"This will be hard to crack, do I have enough time?"

There was no way for him to know how long it would take him to open that door, but what if it took him a long time? Then the rift could be closed during that time, and the rank four vampires could return and see him there.

So, what could he do? Well, there was something he could do, and that was to devour all the magical formations using his devour skill.

Now that he was at rank four, every power he had as a dragon increased, and perhaps he could devour the magical formations, but that also had dangers.

If the power of the magical formations were too much for him, he could die.

"That is a risk I can take for Sybille, and I still have my other body, so yeah, let's do it. Also, there is no way a magical formation will stop the lord of dragons," thought Arthur as he stopped before the door.

The door was red, with golden symbols carved on it and drawings. Arthur did not know what they meant, but he was not there to find out. He looked at the door, and his stomach expanded, and his mouth turned into one of a beast, all black like a black hole.

Then, the mana, the core that kept the magical formations working, went directly toward his mouth, and the burst of energy made him fly across the room, hitting the wall and falling unconscious.

When Arthur got too close to that rift, some rank-four beasts came out, trying to eat him alive. One was a gigantic Octopus with wings, and the other was a spider, but it had human arms instead of legs.

It was disgusting and scary, but Arthur still had the holy flames of the Phoenix around him, and all he did was move his right hand, making the fire attack those two beasts, turning them into ashes.

"This feels good. How long can I reach rank five on my own?" Arthur asked.

"I don't know, but probably a long time. I suggest you train another avatar with the Holy Meditation Technique of the Phoenix. It is powerful, and if you want to enter my universe, you must have at least one body compatible with it."

"What? Another avatar? Soon I will have more bodies than fingers."

"Well, it is not a bad thing to do. They can all train simultaneously and merge together to form one powerful existence. Avatars are the strongest things there are in the universe."

"Look, this is something for another time, now I have to close this thing."

Arthur liked the idea of creating another avatar to train with the technique from his family, and he already had plans on merging the current avatar with his main body and keep it that way, so he would have two Forbidden Eyes in the same body, making it a lot more powerful.

So if he did that, having another avatar moving around in the universe sounded like a good idea.

But first, he had to close that rift, and the moment he was really close to it, something else came out to face him.

This time, it was not a rank-four beast, it was not a beast at all.

"A-A god?"
