Picking up Girls With My System

It was a giant with a fur armor, an immense wooden club, and its skin was blueish, as if it was frozen.

Arthur did not know if it was a giant from the same race as Wrutzus, the blacksmith who was with the rest of the students at that point.

"Louis, have you ever seen something like that before?" Arthur said.?

"Never, and it seems it is a powerful enemy. What will we do?"

The level above the giant's head was high, and Arthur did not think Louis could be of any help in that fight.

"Stay with the rest of the army and deal with the horde. I will fight against this thing."

"Good luck." Louis said.

He was not willing to let Arthur fight alone, but Louis could not picture his army fighting without their general to give them the mental support needed to win that fight.

As for Arthur, he was gazing at the giant, who was coming on his way with blood lust eyes. It did not look like one giant from the Wrutzus race, or someone had altered something on that giant.

Arthur was not in the time to be thinking about those things. He clasped his sword and dashed towards the giant with his gleaming armor.

Within seconds, both parties met, and a giant wooden club came crashing down, ripping the air as it went, showing the fierce power behind that attack.

No one sane would try to match strength with a giant, so Arthur used his agility the best way he could, avoiding the slow attack from the giant, passing through his legs.

The club attack slammed on the ground, creating a hole in it, and it sent waves that even the army next to the city walls felt. It was terrifying.

With the strength Arthur had on his body, he did not flinch when the waves came, standing at the same place.

"It is my turn now."

The Achilles tendon was the spot Arthur was looking for. It was a spot where usually there wasn't much defense, and getting a wound there would hinder the movements by a lot.

Arthur had noticed before the fight started that the giant was not wearing full armor; only a few pieces of fur armor that barely covered his body.

So, attacking that region was difficult in that situation.

A sword slash so fast it cut through the air particles, touching the frozen skin of that giant in full force. Arthur was expecting a huge wound, but that was not the case.

"A minor wound? Well, at least it is getting hurt, so all I have to do is attack more."

The giant did not turn around after feeling the pain in his foot. It instantly lifted its other foot, and then slammed it on the ground, creating a small scale earthquake.

It was clearly a special ability of the giant, a spell maybe, because Arthur clearly felt the mana fluctuations.

Arthur was sent flying with the earthquake for at least 300 meters, breaking lots of trees in mid-air. It hurt a lot, and he was sure some of his ribs were broken after that attack.

"Fuck. That thing is stronger than I thought."

He got up and noticed the giant running towards the army. That was the bottom line for him.

"Are you belittling me?"

The playing was over, and the giant would have to face a pissed Arthur, which was the worst nightmare for lots of people out there, even more for creatures.

He waved his hands, and magical symbols appeared one after the other. One, two, three… 7 circles. Then, Arthur stopped the mana channeling, releasing a mighty tier 7 wooden spell.

Life-draining vines erupted from the ground, and each one of these vines was as tall as the giant itself. They circled around the giant's body, trapping him in place without the slightest chance of moving.

Even though Louis was busy fighting alongside his army, he did not stop paying attention to Arthur's fight, and when Arthur got hit, he was thinking of leaving the battlefield to help him.

Before he could do that though, Arthur used his tier 7 spell, which shocked Louis to the core.

"A seven circle mage? How?"

The giant, who looked mindless, did not believe those vines could hold him there, so he tried everything to destroy them, but to no effect.

Those vines were like the ones that were trapping George, so the life of the giant was slowly getting away, absorbed by the vines.

With one tier 7 spell, a mighty giant was done for. What was the level of strength of tier 8 spells? 9 or 10. Hell, imagine what tier 11 spells could do.

Arthur could not wait to reach that level, but first he had to win that fight, which was already going in that direction.

The giant menace was over, so all he had to do was help the rest of his army, and he knew exactly how to do so.

He got up and dashed towards the army. It did not take long for him to reach where the fight was happening, and then he cast another spell of the wooden element.

It was also tier 7, and it created a gigantic Lotus flower, which would open up and send a strange powder which would heal all the wounds of the soldiers.

"This is incredible. Look at the healing provided from that plant!" One soldier said.

When all of them felt the power of that healing spell, their morale went up by a lot, and for them it was impossible to lose the fight with that support with them.

The strangest part was that some soldiers were so wounded that it would be impossible to save them, yet the magical powder from that plant healed all of their wounds, and they were basically coming back from the dead!

Arthur was happy with the power of his spells, and was also glad to take the time to learn some healing spells, as those came in handy in situations like that one.

Even after casting that powerful spell, Arthur did not stand still and watched his army fight. He grabbed his own sword and dashed through the horde of beast, killing lots of them with his sword slashes and a few fire spells from time to time.

"It is finally over…." Louis said. He sat on the ground, tired after fighting that many beasts.

Louis looked up at Arthur and said, "What will we do with the giant?"

He was referring to the giant who was still trapped in the vines. At first it still had lots of strength, so it tried to break the vines with everything he had, but now? The vines were slowly draining his life, and he did not have the fighting strength it had.

"I am thinking of studying it. Perhaps find what happened to such an intelligent creature end up like that. Also, I think someone is behind the beast horde, and that someone was controlling the beasts in this fight."

"You noticed it too, right? When you and I rushed towards the beast horde and they did not stop to kill us, but continued forward." Arthur said.

Louis nodded, as he had felt something was off in the other times he fought against those beasts.

"All right, let's go back to the city and rest. I will send some soldiers to clean those beast bodies using spells."
