Picking up Girls With My System

When George said that, the fighting desire from Arthur diminished. He had never faced someone or something at that level of power, but based on what George said, and the feeling he had when looking at the bluebird, it was not a fight he could pick.

"Perhaps that is the reason no one got the inheritance yet. Win against the skeleton dragon is not a simple task!"

It all made sense, but didn't that make the inheritance almost impossible to get? Official mages could not enter inside the dimensional realm, so the strongest person there had the strength of the tenth circle.

A tenth circle mage would die with one attack from that dragon. Even if all of them put their hatred aside and combined their strength, it would still be impossible to win against that thing.

The only answer Arthur could think of was that someone who was in the tenth circle somehow advanced to become an official mage while inside the dimensional realm.

It was impossible for an official mage to enter, but maybe someone who advanced inside of that place could still walk freely.

That was the only explanation, but still hard enough to be called impossible!

"George, do you think it is possible for me to advance to an official mage inside of this place?"

"Well, it is considering you are already at the peak of the tenth circle, but you would need a tremendous burst of energy to reach the next level. Usually, people used potions or valuable items to advance, but I don't think you have any of that with you."

What George said was correct. Arthur had nothing valuable or useful for him to use, and it was impossible to brew potions while being chased by a dragon. He did not even have the right ingredients to do so.

"Signy, Helga. That skeleton dragon has the power of an official mage. We cannot go against it!"

"Official mage? What is that?" Helga said.

Both she and Signy knew little about the central continent and the realm of power of mages. For them, the tenth circle was already something incredible, and what came beyond that was unknown.

"Official mages are one hundred times stronger than tenth circle mages, maybe even more. What I am saying is, even if all of us team up to go against that dragon, we cannot win."

"What? What can we do then? Die?" Signy said.

When the two of them heard about the tremendous power of that skeleton dragon, despair filled their bodies. Even if all of them teamed up, it was impossible to win against it?

The only thing they could think of was that it was their end.

Arthur saw how hopeless both of them looked, so he said, "calm down, I am still here. I'll reach the status of an official mage and kill that thing."

"But how?"

How? Not even Arthur was sure of it, but then a familiar voice echoed inside his head. It was from something he had met before.

"Kiddo, I will help you. Leave this place and met me in the air above the castle."

It was the mysterious blue bird from before. Arthur saw a glimpse of hope, so he flew back to the place he came from, leaving the underground area.

The mummy who was watching everything could not believe its eyes.

"Why is he leaving? Shouldn't he go to the inheritance just like everyone else? There is no way he discovered the skeleton mage has the power of an official mage. It is concealed."

All the other mages could only sense that the dragon had a power of the tenth circle. It was strong, but still something they could take on.

Arthur knew about its true power because of George, who was in a completely different realm. Even though he was injured, weak, and not even there, he was still way stronger than them.

"Where are we going?" Signy said.

She was taken aback by the sudden change of directions, but did not complain, trusting Arthur with her life. On his way back, Arthur saw Samantha, who was also running toward the inheritance.

He sent her a mental transmission, saying, "Samantha, that dragon has the power of an official mage. Don't be fooled by it, and run while you can." Samantha stopped when she heard it. After everything she went through with him, she trusted Arthur, so she turned around and left.

Arthur did not stop for a second, leaving the underground area, the castle, and finally flying up into the sky. There, from above the clouds, the blue bird appeared.

"What is that thing?"

Helga and Signy were shocked upon seeing that massive creature. For them, it was better to be down there with the dragon, as the bluebird looked even more dangerous.

"This one is friendly." Arthur said.

They hoped on the back of the bluebird, who sent another voice transmission to Arthur.

"I will guide you to my home, where that mummy cannot see us."

The blue bird flew up into the sky, fast as a lightning. It kept going and going until finally reaching a floating island that hid in the middle of clouds.

There was a massive cave on that island. It was the place where the giant bird slept. Once inside the cave, the blue bird spoke only to Arthur, and the creature knew more about him than he thought.

"I can help you kill that thing and get the inheritance. But there are some things you have to listen to first, and it is up to you to believe it or not."

"First, stop the link between you and that person from the Monlog family. Nothing personal, but only you can hear the things I have to say."

"What?"

Both Arthur and George said in unison. The mysterious bird knew about the Monlog family and knew about the link.

It was impossible. Not a single creature from that realm should know about it. The only possibility was that the bird was stronger than they thought.

"I will do that. Wait, a second."

Arthur said to the bird and then sent a message to George.

"Don't take it personal, okay? This might be the only chance we have to survive."

"That's okay. See you later."

With a thought, the link between them was cut. Then, the real talk with the mysterious bird started.

Arthur was already shocked when the bird noticed George's presence, and also knew about his origins, but the following sentence made him even more shocked.

"So, let's make everything clear. I know you have the Monlog Giant bloodline, and I also know about your dragon bloodline. Lord of the dragons hum? That is impressive."

The bird saw through Arthur, spitting out most of his secrets. For a moment, Arthur wondered if the bird could read his mind, but that was impossible.

All of his secrets were exposed, except for his system and the fact he came from another world. Arthur hoped so, at least.

"Now you are thinking I can read minds? That would make sense seeing how I know a lot about you, but that is not the case."

"I simply felt the power from the bloodlines from your bloodstream, and also the power of the mark which connected you to that person."

"But there is something you should know. I am not bragging here, but be it the Monlog Giant, or Placidusax, the lord of dragons, they are all ants when compared to me."
