Picking up Girls With My System

Arthur’s body changed, but he did not use his dragon transformation to its fullest. The second stage of that skill would make him unrecognizable, so for that reason, he opted only to use the first stage.

The number of attributes it increased was primarily reduced compared to the second stage, but at least it kept his secret.

A few cracks appeared all over his body; if one looked closely, they resembled dark scales similar to snakeskin.

Another thing that changed was his eyes, which kept changing colors, and his pupils were dragon-like.

“What is this? Transformation magic?” Serana thought.

The thought of an elf being a dragon never crossed her mind, so the only explanation Serana could find was some transformation magic, which was not uncommon.

Although it looked similar to transformation magic, the number of attributes Arthur’s dragon transformation increased was in another realm.

After that change, Arthur felt at home, embracing his true nature. All of his attributes, which were already high, doubled, turning him into a killing machine.

He dashed towards Serana again, but she was unable to react in time this time. A sword attacked right in the middle of her chest, cutting it wide open.

Greenish blood flew like a river, and Serana growled in pain.

“Fuck. What type of monster are you?”

Before, Serana acted all mighty and did not put Arthur in her eyes, but now? She was sure it was a fight impossible to win. Their strength was even before the transformation, but after, it was worlds apart.

Serana was a general in the army, and to reach that position, one needed strength and smartness. She would not be able to win against it alone, but there might be a chance if other generals fought with her.

The crowd, who was previously yelling, was now scared. That fight did not seem ordinary and more like an enemy attack.

All the creatures in the crowd got their weapons ready, closely watching the fight unfold.

While all that was happening, Siora, Folen, and Laeroth escaped from that room alongside the other fighters, who noticed something was off when the guards around the area left, going towards the arena.

“How can we escape?” A human asked Siora and her group.

It was known that she had entered the city without the troops noticing her, and the only reason they got caught was a misfortune. Now that they were on the run, everyone there was brothers in the army, and there was no shame in asking others for advice.

Not only that human, but all the rest focused on Siora and her group, waiting for the answer.

“All right, our friend is causing a commotion for us to take advantage and flee. We plan to use the sewers, as we used them to get in without problems. Everyone can follow me, and we will get out of the city. How does it sound?”

“I am in.”

“I am in.”

“Count me in.”

Everyone agreed with that, leaving with Siora, Folen, and Laeroth.

“Eat this!”

Arthur threw the first attack towards the crowd, who were already preparing to join Serana’s side against him. He tossed a tier 5 fireball towards them, destroying a huge part of the arena, and killing many creatures.

The attack was not aimed to wipe them out at once, as it was impossible unless Arthur used a tier 7 spell, but it was good enough to kill a few of them and make the rest go crazy, running to all sides like frightened chickens.

Serana, the person who had to fight one versus one with Arthur, was in terrible shape. She knew there was zero chance of her winning, so she asked for help from the other generals, and one of those was the guy who followed them back into the sewer.

It was a pity that Arthur could see through his invisibility the whole time now that he was in his dragon transformation. Before using it, it would be impossible, but with it, Arthur was in another realm.

That creature focused more on stealth, so it was not that durable regarding melee combat. Arthur took the chance and surprise attacked him, killing it instantly.

So, Serana was alone again, fighting the monstrous Arthur, who was seeking blood.

“I wonder if they left already?”

Arthur jumped up high, activating his flight skill. He looked far beyond where he was, trying to see if he could see Siora and the others.

Sure enough, he saw all the fighters leaving the city and entering the deep forest nearby. Arthur returned his gaze to Serana and said, “now, if you allow me, I will reduce your numbers a little, okay?”

Deep down, Arthur wanted to use a tier 7 spell and wipe all of them, but that would not be possible. That spell would destroy all buildings around it, and that was a legendary castle of the Dragon Scale Empire. Arthur could not destroy it, so he had to fight them normally.

With a teleport, Arthur disappeared from one place and reached another, just behind Serana. With his increased speed, she could not react in time as her head fell from her body. Serana was dead.

All the creatures saw that scene, and anger filled their bodies. They rushed toward Arthur, wielding their weapons, ready to kill him.

A muscular orc was among them, another general from the dark race army.

“Kill the enemy!” It yelled.

Arthur was strong, but against that many creatures was difficult, even more without his tier 7 spell. But that did not mean he would leave without showing them how it was done.

He kept using his teleport to avoid the enemies’ attacks and send one of his own.

Fireballs, sword slash, fire claws, punches, kicks, everything. Arthur reduced their number by a lot, but his mana was getting lower after each passing second; therefore, it was impossible to maintain that fighting style forever.

“I think it is time for me to leave.” Arthur thought.

Using his flight spell, Arthur went up and looked in the direction of where his friends went. He returned his gaze to the general, angrily staring at him.

“Hey, ugly orc. Don’t sleep too comfortably cuz I will return to haunt you.”

After that, he cast another teleport, vanishing from the arena.
