Picking up Girls With My System

"So vampires are gathering here to seek an inheritance from an old powerful mage-vampire from thousand years ago?"

"Correct."

"And we, only four people, are going against thousands of vampires?"

"Well, we are not looking to fight but to stay hidden and get all the information we can. Aren\'t you three experts in this?"

"Yes, that is true."

Arthur talked with the three hunters inside that ghost town and shared some of the things he knew. He was not scared of them betraying him because the three brothers had made a pact to show their loyalty to Arthur, and now the part of his system that had the celestial energy changed!

[Celestial Energy Upgrading...]

[Turning into Draconic Energy]

[Followers: 3]

"I don\'t know if this is good or bad. My normal followers changed, but it says it is an upgrade, then it must be, right? My system would not make me weaker." Thought Arthur.

"So what do we do if we get the inheritance first?" Garry, who was the leader, asked.

Arthur, who was now a divinity to the three brothers, said, "I will take it and keep it away from any vampire. Humans cannot guard this treasure, and it is up to me, a higher being, to do it."

"Of course! That is understandable. It can only be safe in the hands of you, a dragon. Now, shall we bury everyone here before moving?"

Arthur did not care about the corpses around him, but seeing how the three brothers wanted to bury them, Arthur helped. It was a way to cause them a good impression, and that was the key for him to get more people to worship the dragons.

"Yes, let\'s do it, and then we must move to see what the vampires are up to!"

They got to work and buried all the humans who died, and there were plenty of them, which was a shame. The three brothers were enraged and wanted to make those vampires pay, but they knew it was not the time yet, as their number was way superior.

After burying everyone, they left the city and went in the direction where the vampires were supposed to be. A group of vampires did not take long to pass through them, and they noticed Arthur and the brothers!

"Humans! Attack!" one of the vampires yelled.

They were a group of 10 vampires, but the strongest was only a rank two mage, so Arthur did not even need to move, as the three brothers killed all vampires without sweating.

"Don\'t worry, lord, we, the first dragon priests in ages, are here to protect you!"

"Yes, vampire bastards! Here is our word and belief in the dragons!"

Those vampires could not understand what these three humans were talking about. Dragons? These never left the mountains in the north; no one worshiped them anymore, as it was virtually banned in all continents!

The bodies of vampires were scattered around. Arthur opened his mouth and used his fire breath to destroy all of them, turning them into ashes and making sure the other vampires did not see them.

They kept going, passing through the forest, and the surrounding area changed from a vivid place to a desert-like site, and from afar, Arthur and the three dragon priests could see an army of vampires!

"Look at how many tents! This is no regular army. Are you sure this is only for the inheritance?" Garry asked.

Arthur did not tell before because he was unsure, but he said, "I heard rumors about the vampires trying to take over the continent and rule above all the other races. They want to get the inheritance and form alliances for their plan."

"So what should we do? We cannot go there, and what if there are rank four vampires there? You did not recover your strength, so we cannot win against them."

Arthur entered a deep thought and then remembered Nykka told him the Adventurers Guild would send some teams there to look, so they were not alone, and allies should be nearby.

"Are you sure? Then let\'s move and look for them!" Terry said, and everyone agreed to it.

Arthur, Garry, Larry, and Terry looked for the teams of the Adventurers Guild but could not find them. They were in a desert area, so it would be easy to spot anyone on the surface, and that could only mean they were somewhere else!

"Look, a cave. They are there; I can feel it," Garry said, pointing to a cave still a few kilometers away.

They made their way there, but then a group of adventurers appeared to intercept them. Without a word, three men wielding swords dashed toward Arthur and slashed, trying to kill him on the spot.

It surprised him, as people usually talked first, but the human, the bull-man, and the tiger-man did not want to speak.

Arthur easily dodged the three attacks, shocking them, as they had never seen an elf as strong as Arthur.

"Calm down. We are no vampires, and we are here to help! Garry, show them your token."

Garry took the lead and showed them the token that identified him as a hunter of the guild, a unique position above everyone else. Arthur asked him to do that because it was the fastest way for them to believe him, and Arthur was not part of the guild, so only Garry could do it.

"Hunters? What are you doing here?" The tiger-man asked.

"We are here to help investigate the strange vampire movements."

"What about the elf?"

"He is a dragon, and he is here to help."

"A dragon?"

The word spread to the cave, and everyone there could not believe a dragon had left the mountains. That could symbolize times were changing.

Arthur and the three brothers spoke before going there and decided the best decision would be to tell everyone Arthur was a dragon. Unlike the other continents, dragons still lived in the demon continent, and many races lived together in the demon continent, so having a dragon, there was not impossible, but still rare.

"With this, my identity will spread, and I can get more followers. Also, the other dragons in the mountains can join me!"

After that statement, Arthur and the three dragon priests entered the cave to meet with the other adventurers.
