Picking up Girls With My System

“Eat this!” a student with a red robe yelled, sending a shadow hand.

Both schools used the same element, which made the fight harder for both sides, as they all knew how to deal with their own element. But, even though both used the shadow element, the Ouroboros school had the upper-hand in the student’s clash!

That was to be expected. Ouroboros was superior in all aspects, but the Blood Spear Academy had Sebastian, which was the strongest mage on the central continent! Even if the Ouroboros students win the fight, it would not matter because Sebastian could end their lives just the same.

Speaking of Sebastian, he was away from the battlefield, fighting a one versus one against old Nefion, who would go all out for the sake of the continent.

“Now you will see why the power of the blood is the strongest path a man can take!” Sebastian said.

Sebastian got a short-sword from his magical pouch. The sword looked more like an ornamented sword than an actual sword used in fighting, but it could still cut flesh because Sebastian pierced it through his chest!

The blood spurted from the wound, but then the blood flew into the air, circling around Sebastian’s body, forming a type of armor made of blood! Not only that, but both his eyes turned red, and his hands grew long black claws.

He did not look human at all, and different from what everyone expected from a mage, Sebastian enjoyed the melee combat, and believed he was better at that than with casting long-ranged spells!

Nefion saw that, but did not flinch. If it was a melee fight Sebastian wanted, then that would be what he got! Just like Arthur, Nefion changed to his true appearance, that of a mighty dragon!!!

Turning into an immense dragon would only make it harder for him to fight against a small enemy, but even though his size did not change, the power he gained was the same!

Scales covered his body, and Nefion turned from an old frail man into a bulky lizard-like creature in just one second! It was a lot similar to the second stage of Arthur’s dragon transformation, but the power was way higher, as Nefion was a rank 3 mage, after all.

“What is this?” Sebastian thought.

He had seen mages morph before, but not a single one of them had an increase in power, like Nefion. It was something incredible, and the fight which should have been easy for him would not go that way.

Both parties dashed toward another, exchanging punches and claws attacks, like two frenzied beasts and not two mages! Each time their fists met, a loud noise echoed throughout the surrounding area, as if two giants from legends were fighting.

“Got you!” Sebastian yelled, fainting his punch, and then throwing a left hook which hit Nefion right in the face, sending him flying from the sky to the ground, creating a massive crater.

He did not stop there, dashing down toward Nefion, who was still on the ground, ready to punch him a few more times.

Nefion smirked with his lizard mouth, showing his sharp teeth. When Sebastian saw that, he had a bad feeling about it, but continue dashing forward.

“He is probably faking it.” He thought, but it was at that moment Nefion opened up his mouth, sending a strange breath made of a black substance!

It was the Void Breath! His favorite attack, and one that was not to be taken lightly. Sebastian was engulfed by it, and instead of dashing forward, he was sent flying away with some burns around his body, almost losing all the clothing.

“Fuck you, old man!”

The surprise attack worked out just like Nefion planned. Sebastian got angrier, channeling one more spell, which was way stronger, and could be said to be one of his strongest spells.

He grabbed his left arm and ripped it off! Then, he tossed the arm up into the sky, and said, “Blood Moon!”

The lost limb mixed with the blood, turning into a huge red ball which resembled a moon. It kept going up into the sky, only stopping when it was far away.

Its size also grew while in the air, so when Nefion looked up, it looked as if he was gazing at the moon itself!

Then, the surrounding area turned black.

“You are now inside my domain, old man!” Sebastian yelled.

The Blood Moon in the sky kept sending blood into Sebastian’s body, increasing his power and healing some of his wounds! He now had a new arm completely made of blood, making him look even scarier than before!

Not only that, but everything which had life, such as the birds, bugs, small animals, big animals, and all the magical beasts in a radius of a few kilometers had their life essence sucked out of them, sending all of it to the Blood Moon!

The Blood Moon sent all of that drained essence into Sebastian, strengthening his body after each passing second! It was reaching a point where he was almost comparable to a peak rank 3 mage, which was an existence beyond extraordinary.

“Fuck. I don’t think I can go up against this man!” Nefion thought.

In the first clash, Nefion believed he had a chance of winning, or perhaps hurting the man enough for Arthur to finish the job. Now? He was not so sure. What he could do was send his last attack, and perhaps injure him if possible.

“See this, old man? This true strength looks like!” Sebastian said, laughing like a madman, but when he gazed at Nefion, he was not there anymore.

“What? Where are you hiding, old man?”

Then, suddenly, Nefion appeared behind him with only five meters of distance. It took Sebastian by surprise, and the next attack was one he could not dodge!

Nefion used one of his dragon skills, creating a dragon head on both of his fists, like a gauntlet. Then, he send his strongest attack, one that would shake the entire continent.

“Void Fist Annihilation!!!”

A punch capable of stopping time with how strong it was. It was so fast Sebastian did not even have the chance to see what hit him.

When Nefion’s dragon gauntlet touched Sebastian’s body, the sound of bones breaking could be heard. Not only that, but Sebastian had a hole in his chest!

Sebastian went flying, destroying the ground and trees as he passed by them. Even an entire mountain turned into dust with the impact, and the once beautiful forest turned into a desolated area!

The Void Fist destroyed everything. Almost 2km of green area completely vanished from the planet! Nefion felt an ache in his heart, as he was not someone who enjoyed destruction, but it was something he had to do.

“Is it over?” Nefion thought, breathing heavily while gazing at the horizon in the direction Sebastian went.

That was his last attack, one which drained most of his energy, and it had to work, or at least make Sebastian incapacitated for some time.

“N-No way! How is that possible?”

Far away from Nefion, he saw Sebastian slowly flying toward him. He was now with no skin, hair, and had lost both of his arms and legs.

Sebastian was basically a flying torso, but as he flew toward Nefion, his body rebuilt itself, which was what caused the shock of Nefion.
