Picking up Girls With My System

It was there. Arthur could see it, the shiny silver chalice with blood. The inheritance everyone was trying to get was right in front of him.

Well, not really in front of him, but it was within his sight range. He would get it. That was only a matter of time.

He was not someone who liked to waste time, especially considering everyone else was trying to get the same inheritance as him.

The mummy was watching everything from the mysterious mirror, shocked to see Arthur reach that location so fast.

“Let the fun begin, hahaha.”

In other parts of the city, all the mages that passed through the sixth floor were exploring, Samantha included. But them, in front of each one of them, a red portal appeared, sucking them into it.

The next moment, all of them were teleported to the same cave Arthur was, and some of those mages were close to him.

“What is this?” Arthur said as he saw strange youths appearing all over the cave.

Somehow all the mages who were on the sixth floor were there, and not only that, but everyone that was still alive back in the early stages of the inheritance test was there as well, including Signy and Helga.

“Where are we?” Signy said.

She was with Helga inside the cave when a strange portal appeared, transporting the two of them to the same location. Signy gazed at the area, trying to understand what was happening, but she still did not know.

“Signy, look!” Helga said.

Helga was pointing at the silver chalice in the distance. It was the inheritance everyone was looking for.

“We are near the inheritance! But how?”

Arthur was paying a lot of attention to everything that was happening, and he quickly spotted Signy and Helga. So, he dashed toward them in fast speed.

They noticed someone going toward them, making the two increase their guard, yet when they noticed who it was, both sighed in relief.

“Arthur, so you are here too! Did the red portal get you here, too?”

“Red portal? So that got all of you here?”

“You did not know?”

“No. I reached her using my feet. Look, this is a dangerous place now with everyone trying to get the inheritance, but I don’t think there is a place for you to hide, so we should stick together.”

“I agree.”

“Me too.”

Signy and Helga were okay with being with him, and it was the only thing they could do anyway. Arthur did not have the time to set up another safe place for them.

There were lots of creatures and mages inside that underground area, madly rushing toward the chalice, which was at the top of an altar.

The skeleton of a dead dragon was just beside it, and it was giving Arthur a bad feeling. Could it resurrect to attack them? It was not impossible, considering everything that was happening. Actually, Arthur would be surprised if that was not the case.

Even those who were weaker and had given up on the inheritance in the early stages were tempted to reach the silver chalice, so all of them tried to go toward it.

Only Signy and Helga were not doing it. The first reason was because it was dangerous and the two of them did not wish to lose their lives inside that place. But also because Arthur had promised to give them good things if they let the inheritance to him.

Speaking of the inheritance, Arthur had a bad feeling about it, too. If there was someone watching them, and was probably inside the same place they were, why it did not take the inheritance to itself a long time ago?

George believed that whoever drank the blood of that chalice would get the inheritance. Perhaps that was indeed the case, but Arthur was now having a feeling not that simple.

“There is a catch here, and I need to figure it out fast.”

He asked Signy and Helga to follow him as fast as they could, and that was what they did. Arthur dashed through the underground area, doing his best to avoid any fights with the other mages.

There was something he wished to try, but it was risky. He knew something was off with the inheritance after all those signs, so why not wait for someone to get it first, and see what happens?

It was a risky move because perhaps there was no catch, and someone else would get the inheritance in the end, which would be bad for him.

Arthur was not after the inheritance for the powers it could give him, as he already had the bloodline of a dragon and the bloodline from the Monlog Giant.

The most important part of the inheritance was the power to walk freely through the dimensional realm, which meant he could get his hands in all those treasures. Treasures that the others did not know about.

That was what Arthur was really after, and he would not give up on that chance so easily.

“Look who’s here.”

Someone appeared right beside Arthur, also dashing toward the place where the chalice was. From all the people it could be, it was Kane, the red-haired youth who was angry with Arthur before.

“Oh? Kane? Will you cry again because I am walking in this place without telling you?”

“Shut up bastard. Want to fight right here to settle everything?”

“I don’t want to lose my precious time with trash.”

After saying that, Arthur used his fire wings again, and grabbed both Signy and Helga, and flew toward the chalice.

Kane did not have the chance to answer him, as Arthur was nowhere to be seen again. Arthur was going faster than everyone else, and when Kane noticed that, the anger inside of him grew.

If things continued like that, Arthur would be the person who would get the inheritance, and that was something Kane could not let happen.

With that thought in mind, he used a secret spell to get in touch with Laura and the other youth who were in the tenth circle, sharing the situation he had just seen.

The trio exchanged a few words, and teamed up to take down Arthur before he could get his hands on the inheritance, and then the trio would fight against each other to see who would get the right to get it.

That was something they had decided since the start of the test, as they were the stronger among everyone else present.

Arthur did not know about the plan they were forming, but once he got closer to the altar, the skeleton of the dead dragon moved.

It roared, making the whole place tremble before it.

“I knew this thing was alive!”

Adrenaline pumped through his veins. Arthur was ready to go all out against that thing, but then George’s voice echoed inside his mind, changing his plans instantly.

“Arthur, that skeleton has a power equal to a rank one official mage. You cannot go against it, or you will die. Hell, everyone inside this place will die!”
