Picking up Girls With My System

Those three mages had the responsibility of not letting anyone leave the city alive! Any strange movements happening around the exit would be noticed by them!

Arthur had cast his invisibility spell on Laura, Jeremy, and Richard to increase their chances of surviving. As for him? He had the job of getting the attention of those mages, and start up a fight with them!

He did not use an invisibility spell with the others, as it would be impossible for them to pass through without them noticing.

The only reason for it to have a chance of working was if the mages had their focus on something else, like fighting against Arthur!

He came out from behind a house, appearing in front of the three mages who were viciously staring at him.

"Only one Official Mage? You will die here today! No one can leave this place alive!"

When Arthur appeared in front of them, they immediately waved their hands, drawing magical circles in the air, preparing their spells!

All three mages did it, so Arthur would have to deal with three different spells at the same time! He was strong, but his power was not without match, especially when dealing with mages he know nothing about.

He was not inside the school anymore, and it was a life-and-death situation. Arthur wished to remain only using his lightning attribute, but now he was thinking of using two!

Official Mages could use two elements, but their secondary was weaker. That was not a problem for Arthur, who had mastered three essences already!

Arthur cast his own spell, but not only that, he also used one of his dragon skills, making two fire wings appear on his back in an instant! That was one benefit of those skills, the quickness!

They could not understand how Arthur created those wings so fast, but that was not the time to be lost in thoughts. What they had to do was to end his life!

Three spells launched toward him! One was a gigantic skull with a green energy around it. The other was a corrosive shot, similar to what that mage cast previously.

As for the last spell, a spear made of bones! These three spells were all tier 11! The highest level a rank 1 Official Mage could cast.

Those three spells shot toward Arthur, one after the other. Laura was watching everything by the side, and even though she knew Arthur was not someone simple, the power of those three spells was extraordinary!

Arthur finished his spell before those things hit him. He cast his own tier 11 spell, but it was not meant to attack, but a barrier!

He fused all of his elements into it! With his fire, wood, and lightning essences fully completed, the sturdinesses of that barrier was heavenly.

Flames, vines, and lightning intertwined into the blue barrier, creating a vivid dome around him, blocking the spells!

The first to hit was the skull, and even though it did not pass through the barrier, cracks formed on its surface!

Then the corrosive shot. No one believed a barrier could block two spells of the same tier. That was possible only with magical formations which took time to prepare.

Still, to their shock, the corrosive shot did not demolish the barrier, but it was almost falling apart! When the bone spear came, everyone thought it was the end.

They were certain the bone spear would break the barrier and pierce through Arthur\'s body, and it happened! The barrier broke after getting touched by the spear.

But then Arthur shocked them again! When the bone spear was almost hitting his chest, a strange mouth appeared in front of him, similar to that of a lizard, or a dragon!

The bone spear passed through it, going straight into Arthur\'s own mouth, but then it vanished! A mighty tier 11 spell was devoured by Arthur, who seemed just fine after doing that!

"This is my chance! My devour is in cooldown, so I cannot devour another spell as powerful as this one!" Arthur thought.

It was the best chance he got. He flew toward them using his fire wings and attacked using his fire claws!

One of the mage was too slow to react. It died on the spot, having his body split in two! As for the others, they used their own escaping spells to move farther from the gate.

That was the best chance Laura, Richard and Jeremy had! They run toward the gate, and left the city without the mages realizing it. They were focused on the beast which was in front of him.

"Who are you?"

When the questions and the looks of disbelief appeared, Arthur knew he had the upper hand on the psychological fight.

Before, it was one versus three, but now only two of those mages remained. A strange doubt appeared inside their minds.

Was it worth it to stop that man with the chance of losing their lives? Just like their friend? These dark mages were selfish.

"Just leave the city. No one will look for you." One of them said.

Arthur was confident of winning against those two mages, but what if reinforcements appeared? Then he would be in trouble.

"How can I be sure you will not follow me?"

"Follow you? Just to die?"

"I will trap you two just in case."

"What?"

They had no time to react as huge vines came from the ground, enrolling the two of them, making it impossible for them to move!

Now they were two easy targets for him, but then Arthur sensed more Official Mages approaching his location. It was not a wise move to stay there and attack them, so he left using all of his speed.

Within minutes, Arthur found the others who were dashing through the nearby forest, afraid that someone would pursue them.

They heard a few noises coming from behind, but when they saw it was Arthur, all of them sighed in relief.

"Arthur? Did you kill those three already?"

"Only one, the other two, are trapped in a spell. More mages were coming, so I had to leave."

Arthur had a bad feeling about the situation. There was no way it would be so easy to escape, and he was right. After a few minutes, he noticed the aura of 10 mages following them.

Laura and the others did not know it, as their perception was way worse than his, but the situation was not good.

He would have to stay and buy them time or else they would be dead.

"All of you, keep moving and go to the marked point on your map. There are Official Mages following us, so I will have to stop them again."

"What? How many?" Laura asked when she noticed the worried look Arthur had.

"Ten."

"Hell no. You will die!"

"I don\'t die that easily. Do as I say, or I will be the one killing you."

He then stopped, turned around, and waited for the ten mages. As for Laura and the others, they kept moving, not looking back as it would make them stay...

"I hope you leave this place alive, or I will kill you!" Laura yelled.
