Picking up Girls With My System

After the excellent sex, Arthur explained the gigantic turtle situation to his wives, but he did not hide many things from them, and Arthur felt it was essential information for them.

"So we have a way out of here?" Jane asked.

Arthur was lying on his bed, looking at his roof, "yeah, I need to learn how to use the Moon Essence before the eclipse happens."

The turtle had explained to him the best way to train, but Arthur was still unsure if he would be able to reach a decent level in the short period he had.

He could feel the Moon\'s Essence was different from other essences. It was more powerful, more volatile, and more brutal to learn. Even with his talent, he was not sure if it was possible, but Arthur would still try because that was the only way they would leave the island safe and sound.

With that, Arthur\'s training began. He and his wives would still have a good time together, but only during the day, as the night was his training time. Not a single day Arthur would not go out during the night, get naked, and try his best to feel the Moon\'s Essence.

When it was a full moon, then Arthur would try even harder, as it was the best time of the month to train. Zeph, \'the Demon Emperor,\' never appeared again, making Arthur wonder if that was an illusion or if the man showed up when they got to the island the first time.

Days, weeks, and months passed, and Arthur could not feel the Moon\'s Essence at all. He was starting to lose hope, but it happened one night when he was naked by the water pool near his house.

Arthur started to feel something different, like a new power entering his body. It was the first time he felt something similar, and he understood it when he noticed his body shining brightly like the moonlight.

"The Moon\'s Essence."

It took Arthur four months to reach that point, which meant he had two more months before the eclipse to get good at using his Moon\'s Essence.

"What can I do with this?" Arthur thought, moving his arms, looking at them to see the effects of the moonlight.

The moonlight attached to his body, so Arthur tried to get a weapon to see if he could use the moonlight to boost its attack or something like that.

Arthur took out the dagger he used in daily tasks such as cleaning fish and other animals, then tried to concentrate and gathered all the moonlight around his body toward the knife.

At first, it did not work, but then Arthur saw the tiny specks of light flying toward the dagger, making it shine. The weapon\'s appearance was not the only thing it changed; its aura too! Arthur could sense a strange power behind the dagger and be eager to try it.

"Let\'s see how strong this thing is," he thought, flying toward the shore.

He had the perfect thing to test the dagger\'s power: the barrier surrounding the island! Arthur stopped before the barrier — still far as it was not needed for him to get too close to it — and then performed his attack.

A quick slash, so fast not even rank three mages would see it. If someone looked from afar, they would think Arthur was crazy to be slashing in the air, but right after it, the moonlight around the dagger formed a massive slash of a silvered color, which flew toward the barrier.

It was even faster than the first slash, and when it came in touch with the barrier, a massive explosion echoed, and the island seemed to be shaking.

Boom Boom Boom

The people who lived in the village could not understand what was happening, and for a moment, they thought the island would disappear.

"What is this?"

Everyone was confused and scared, but someone was happy inside, even if its features did not show. It was Turquoise, the turtle, who could not believe he felt that familiar energy from Ikarus.

"That brat did it! We have a chance!"

Even though the moonlight slash was extraordinary, it only cracked the barrier, even with the full moon shining on the sky. Arthur could only use one of those attacks, so the only way to leave was to wait for the eclipse.

"Still, this is a good sign! If I can make the barrier look like this now, then I should be able to destroy it during the eclipse."

He was confident he would make it, but only time would tell. Jane, Wisa, and Sybille woke up with the noise, and when they went to check, they saw the cracks in the barrier and smiles formed on their faces.

"You did it, husband!"

They always believed in him, and like most of the time, he did not disappoint them. Arthur was proud of himself, and now all he had to do was wait for the eclipse.

The remaining two months passed. Arthur kept his routine even after getting the Moon\'s Essence, as practice would help him use the essence more efficiently and create even more powerful attacks.

Not only that, but he had to recharge his essence to use those attacks, so meditating during night-time was now something he would do every night, even if only a little.

Arthur and his wives were sitting on the shore, waiting for the eclipse to happen. The tribesmen were also inside their tribe doing the exact same thing.

As for Zeph, Arthur tried to look for him the day before the eclipse yet found nothing, not even a clue about the man. He even went down to speak with the turtle to see if it knew something about that man, but Turquoise said, "I have never seen such a person."

More and more, Arthur felt like Zeph was a ghost, but that was not something he could think about. Instead, he had to focus all his energies on breaking the barrier, finally leaving that place.

"You can do it, husband," his wives said.

Then, it happened. The moon and the sun merged with one another, which was the moment Arthur had been waiting for since the day he learned about it.

Unlike before, Arthur did not get his dagger, but the mysterious black sword, which was something from his Monlog Bloodline, was his most potent weapon, so he would use it to break the barrier or try it.

Arthur\'s body shone with a silver light, and then all of that light flew toward his sword, mixing the black of it with silver. The weapon was beautiful, but the most important part was its power, which was extraordinary!

Anyone could feel how potent the weapon was; even the tribe\'s chief felt back inside his tribe. Then, Arthur did the same as before, stopping before the barrier and preparing for his attack.

A slash, one with precision and mastery, capable of ending the life of any man or beast. But could it end the life of that barrier? Arthur moved his sword up and then slashed down, sending a vertical moonlight slash toward the barrier.
