Picking up Girls With My System

Jake thought he would have the best of Arthur, fooling with him after getting what he wanted. Well, of course, things did not work like that, and now, he would have to obey Arthur forever or at least keep worshiping him to grant him more power.

To help him escape, though, would not be an easy task, but Jake saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and there was something ahead of them that would help him with that mission.

"There's a festival that will happen in three days. No one will be here to watch the dungeon, but the Bishop is not concerned about it because your cells have magical formations, and all of you are weak without blood," Jake said.

"I can come here during the festival and free you, and then you will have to leave this town as quickly as possible."

Three days; by that time, Arthur was almost sure all the other captains would be dead, or at least 90% of them would.

"It is what it is. The only way for me or them to leave is during this festival, so those who survive long enough will leave this place," thought Arthur.

"Make sure this works, and come here to warn me if anything changes," said Arthur.

Jake nodded, returning to the dungeon's entrance to avoid looking suspicious.

Three days passed, and things did not work as Arthur had planned. He was in deep shit, frankly. The festival Jake told him was going to happen, which was nice, as that would help him escape, but there was a catch.

They built an arena in the middle of the town, and they would put Arthur and the remaining captains to fight against each other to entertain others.

How did Jake not know about that? Arthur guessed they got suspicious of Jake, or he had a low ranking, and that's why he did not know about their plan.

"Move, move!" the priests screamed, pushing the weak captains after they got them out of their cells, wrapped in a shiny golden rope.

They first moved the captains, placing them inside a carriage with bars, similar to a cell, making sure none of them would escape. Arthur was the last to enter a carriage, and the Bishop went there to get him out.

"Are you enjoying your time here? At least you will have some fun now with the fights," the Bishop said as he put Arthur inside the carriage.

The carriage moved toward the central part of the town where a coliseum was, often used for warriors to fight against other beasts, but that day, in the festival, they would use it to make the vampires fight each other!

Many people were already there, in the bleachers, waiting for the fights to start. Drinking, eating, and laughing, enjoying their time, while people would kill themselves in front of them.

"Humans are entertained by the strangest things," thought Arthur.

Jake had known about this coliseum a few hours before they went there to pick up the vampires. So, even though he had a short time to prepare something, he still had SOME time.

He was going on with a plan to make sure Arthur would escape, but still, there would be no way for Arthur to avoid the fights, and he would have to kill or be killed.

That was a shame, but Arthur would do anything to escape that place, even if he had to kill the other vampires. Arthur was sure duke Mikael would understand the situation and nothing terrible would happen to him.

They put all the vampires inside the coliseum, and the Bishop called out to them to fight one by one. Arthur was not among those people, and he guessed the Bishop was waiting for them to fight against him in the final fight.

"Whoever wins this battle will have blood, and those who win the coliseum night, will be free!" the Bishop said.

That was the only thing those vampires wanted: to flee from that place, and if that was what the Bishop was offering to the winner, then they would do anything to win, even if they had to kill each other!

An intelligent move came from those priests, but Arthur was more concerned about the blood part.

"If those who win the fight get blood, what about me? Will I have to fight them without blood?"

Based on what the Bishop said, he would give blood to those competitors to make the fight more exciting, but he did not say a word about giving blood to Arthur, and Arthur was supposed to be their final boss.

By the looks of things, he would have to fight them while being weakened, which would prove to be challenging, even for him.

"Come on, Jake!"

Arthur hoped the plan he and Jake had in mind would work.

"Now, for the last fighter of the night, coming straight from the underworld, a high-ranking Demon!"

"Aaaahhhh!"

The crowd went crazy as Arthur went into the middle of the arena, facing a captain he remembered the face but never talked to. It seemed he would not be able to escape fighting, and the captain in front of him had received blood, meaning he was in a decent state, differently from Arthur, who looked like a mummy by that point.

"The only reason I did not get Jake's blood was that it would make things too suspicious," thought Arthur, regretting that for a moment.

They did not give him any weapon, but his adversary, a male vampire, had a spear in his hands.

"Why are they making this so hard on me? I thought the Bishop did not mean to kill me!"

Arthur could not understand the reasons behind the Bishop's acts, but that man was crazy, so it was understandable for Arthur to not understand him.

As for the vampire in front of him, the moment the two were alone inside the coliseum, he dashed straight toward Arthur with his spear in hand, trying to pierce through him and end the fight as quickly as possible.

"I am sorry, leader, but I will be the one to leave this place alive."

Arthur did not blame him for having that thought, as he was looking to do the same! When the first got closer to Arthur's belly, his mummified hand grabbed it, and he pulled the vampire closer to him by pulling the spear itself!

"What?"

The vampire did not believe Arthur would have that much strange considering how bad he looked, but that did not seem like the case, as he got punched straight into the face, flying to the other side of the coliseum!

Also, Arthur was now the one with a spear, turning the fight to his side.

"How? Wasn't he supposed to be weak?" the Bishop said as he got up from his chair, shocked by the scene.

Arthur smirked at the Bishop when he noticed his behavior and returned his gaze toward the vampire.

"Now, I am sorry for doing this, but I will be leaving this place today!" said Arthur, gazing at the vampire in front of him, preparing to end his life!
