Picking up Girls With My System

Now that the lich was no longer summoning skeletons non-stop, Wisa and Jane managed to wipe them, and the only skeleton that remained was the level 40 one.

“Is it dead?” Wisa asked, looking at the lich who was down on the ground.

Jane had the same doubt, so she also gazed at it, to see exactly what would happen.

Time seemed to stop, and everyone had their attention towards the fallen lich.

The lich slowly got up, and said, “nice try. I did not expect that, but you can’t win against me.”

All the flames that were burning the lich’s body vanished after he moved his hand.

Arthur was also shocked after seeing his attack do nothing. The lich simply got up, and summoned more skeletons again, as if nothing had happened.

Jane and Wisa were getting tired after fighting for so long while using their strongest spells, and if things continued that way, they would not leave that place alive.

“Should I use the sword?” Arthur thought.

He was considering using his two-handed sword, as it was their best chance to leave that place alive.

But what if he hurt his girls? He could not forgive himself if that happened.

“Wisa, Jane. Can you use all of your remaining strength to destroy that door and leave?”

“What? Leave you alone against all of these enemies? No, we can’t lose you again.”

They did not want to lose Arthur after just reunite with him, but they also knew the fight was not a winnable one.

“Just go! I have a plan. Please, trust me.”

Wisa and Jane did not know what to do. Losing Arthur again was something they did not want, but trusting him was something both of them should do.

“Jane, let’s go. He will be fine.”

Jane nodded, even though she was scared about something bad happening.

They turned around, facing the stone door, and used everything they got. It was a locked door, but it could not stand that much power. The door broke, and both Wisa and Jane left.

“So lovely. Sacrificing himself for your girls, hahaha. Don’t worry, I’ll go after them when we are done here.” the lich said.

Arthur just gazed at the lich without saying a word. He opened up his magical pouch, retrieving his sword.

The moment he touched it, that black energy came from it, and enveloped his body.

Within seconds, Arthur was not himself anymore, and the lich was the only one around, which meant that was the enemy.

“What the hell is this?”

One of Arthur’s wings turned black, just like all the right side of his body.

With one thought in mind, Arthur dashed toward the lich, who was still in a daze.

Differently from the last time, Arthur spoke while in that berserker state, but his voice was hoarse and sinister.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

The lich tried to cast a barrier to protect himself against the upcoming sword, but as soon as both touched, the barrier broke, and the sword hit the lich.

Before, the attack seemed to do nothing to that lich, but now, it almost killed him instantly.

The black substance that was in Arthur’s sword went to the lich’s body, and it started to melt its bones.

“This isn’t happening. I cannot die like this!”

The lich screamed, and tried everything to get rid of that black substance, but nothing worked. The lich turned into ashes.

All the other summoned skeletons also died, and the room Arthur was in looked like a cemetery after the fight.

Arthur did not stop there. He kept looking for things to kill, and he noticed the staircase leading to another floor, so he went there, flying.

A shadowy figure flew through the dungeon, going down like a missile.

Arthur reached the next floor in no time, and just took a random path, looking for enemies.

The first enemy he encountered was a lizard type creature that walked using two legs.

It had a level of 40, which was insanely high, but the creature could not endure one attack from Arthur’s sword.

Arthur kept going, slicing these lizards into pieces. Within a couple of minutes, the corridor he took was filled with corpses.

A complete massacre. Arthur in the berserk mode was something scary.

Boom.

The corridor shook, and a huge lizard showed up. Just like all floors, it had a leader. The level of that creature was 60.

There was no way Arthur could win against it using normal means, but in that state, he was truly powerful.

They exchanged attacks, as the lizard was also wielding a weapon, a spear.

At first, it seemed they were equal in power, and neither of them got the upper hand.

But after each second in battle, Arthur got stronger, and stronger, and eventually the lizard could not compare to him anymore.

It died miserably. Even after that, Arthur kept going, but this time, he was not going for the staircase.

Arthur noticed a small black portal, and that portal was calling him. He went towards it, and went inside.

~~~~

Everything turned black, and Arthur was inside a place he knew well. The Dream Realm.

The Dream Realm was a strange place. It looked like a normal world, with a ground and a sky, but it was mostly devoid of life.

There was no sun, which meant it was dark at all times. It also had a strange thing in the air, like dust.

The place looked as if it was falling apart, with cracks on the ground, and leafless trees.

Arthur was still without his conscious, so he just wandered around without direction.

Some beasts hid inside the Dream Realm, lurking in the shadows and watching his every move.

When these beasts saw how terrifying Arthur was, they did not attack, and took their leave.

Arthur walked for some time in that dead plain, until he found a cave.

A weak beast lived there. A beast that looked like a bear, but with three eyes.

Arthur killed it without effort, but after the fight, his body was on the verge of falling, so he fainted.

~~~~

“Where am I?” Arthur could not remember what happened at first, but then everything became clearer.

He had used his sword, and lost control of his own body. But what he could not understand was the place he was in.

“Is this the dungeon?” It surely did not look like it. The interior was of a cave, and when Arthur got up and went outside to check, everything was strange.

The sky was there, yet there was no sun or moon. The ground had cracks, and the air was dusty.

“Why does it seem so familiar?”

Arthur had a feeling that he had gone to that place before, yet he could not discover where that was.

He returned to the cave, and took a look around to see if there was anything that could help him. There was nothing.

The only thing he could do was leave that place, and look for a way out.

But where could he possibly go? Arthur tried to look for his footprints, yet could not find any. That was the downside of going around flying.

He lost himself in thoughts, and one beast that was lurking around, saw that as a weakness, and pounced at him, looking to bite his neck.

Arthur had his mind elsewhere, yet there was no chance he would let a beast attack him by surprise.

He turned around, and punched the beast in the face. The beast looked similar to a puma, and was sent flying with the punch.

It ran away, scared.

“That was close. I’m in a weakened state, so I should be careful, yet I can’t waste that much time here, or else I’ll starve to death.”

Without options, Arthur wandered around, looking for something that could help him get out of that place.

There was nothing, only a few dying trees, and beasts that ran away scared after Arthur kicked their asses.

Arthur had both of his hands on his head, saying,” what should I do, what should I do?” Perhaps the universe was listening, as he felt a strange energy calling him.

What it was, was unknown to him, but it wasn’t as if he had another clue, so, Arthur followed where that feeling led him.

After walking for thirty minutes, Arthur spotted a huge structure that was falling into pieces.

“Should I go in?” Arthur thought.

There could be dangers inside that building, but he went in nonetheless.

Arthur was thinking that he would not find anything useful inside a random building, yet, he did.

There were lots of papers inside, and one of them had a word Arthur looked for a long time.

‘The Sky City’.

The city that was known to be the home of the dragons when they conquered the human world.

It was at that moment, someone appeared.

“Who are you and what are you doing here?”
