Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 157 End of the Dungeon (2)

A tier 6 was something only a few individuals could cast, especially with such ease as Arthur. Myria was breathing heavily after seeing that, but imagine if she knew about the tier 7 spell Arthur cast during that battle.

Anyway, with that the fire golem problem was solved, but who knows what types of dangers still lurked in the shadows of that dungeon floor?

Arthur went to where Myria and Lilia where. “Stay here while I check the rest of the floor. If anything bad happens, return using the mirror.”

He left afterwards, flying towards the volcano that seemed to be the main part of that dungeon floor. The fire golems patrolled the area around the volcano before rushing towards him, which meant it held something of value, or someone important enough for them to protect it.

At the base of the volcano, there was an entrance to something that looked like a cave. The high-temperature in that area would make almost anyone gasp in terror, however, it was like a stray in the park for Arthur.

With steady steps, he ventured inside the dark cave that wasn’t as dark as Arthur could see in the dark. For five minutes straight, there wasn’t a single uncommon thing, only a narrow cave without proper lighting, however it soon changed.

A large room with a pool of lava. There was someone in the middle, a sturdy bearded man that looked like he was about forty years of old.

The most impressive thing about that man was his height, 3 meters tall. That alone was enough to tell it wasn’t entirely human, but something else.

What was that person doing there? Arthur had already guessed this place wasn’t an ordinary dungeon like one he entered near Odemore.

All these dungeons had monsters inside of it mainly because of the portals that led to the dream realm, a place where all the magical beasts lived. However, that did not mean only beasts lived inside such places.

“Huh?” the man said as he looked at Arthur.

The mysterious man kept hitting an anvil, and even after Arthur entered his sight, he did not stop, as if he was focused on something more important, however, that change once he felt the familiar aura coming from Arthur.

“A dragon? Are you here to take my life? I’m so sorry. The gods were the ones that trapped me in here and made me and our race act against you.”

“Who are you?” Arthur asked. It was the most important question of all.

“I’m Wrutzus, someone from the giant race. Who are you?”

Arthur thought for a moment what name should he say to that person? It seemed they had friendly terms with the dragons before the gods forced them to act against them, so Arthur opted for his dragon name.

“Placidusax.”

Wrutzus finally stopped hammering his anvil and looked towards Arthur with his eyes wide open. His body shook, and he knelled on the ground.

“I’m so sorry, lord Placidusax. I still remembered how you saved me back then, but the gods threated my family. They threated the entire giant race. I couldn’t refuse them.”

“What did they ask you to do?”

“Th-they made me craft weapons capable of hurting the dragons, and I did it. I’m the reason for all this killing…” Wrutzus had tears streaming down his face.

Arthur did not blame him at all. He did what he had to do to protect its family and race.

“But Placidusax, I’m sorry to ask you this, but weren’t you supposed to be dead?”

“Can I truly trust you, Wrutzus?”

The giant quickly got up, which made Arthur prepare for a fight, however the outcome was different. He handed over his blood essence, which meant Arthur could kill him with just a thought.

“I’ll share some of my memories with you.”

Wrutzus placed his hand on Arthur’s forehead, and he entered a dream state.

It was a land of snow, so much snow that a normal human would suffocate with it, however, the giants had no problem with that.

They looked like humans, but had bigger bodies, and some even reach the height of 15 meters. These giants could change their height so it wouldn’t affect their lives, and that is way most of them walked around with only a height of 3 meters.

Despite all of their mighty, they were still in a small number compared to the other races. Constant attacks kept happening on their continent, and that made them lose lots of lives, therefore creating a sad atmosphere.

All of that changed when a black-scaled dragon flew above the snowy lands, meeting up with the giants. At first, they were ready for a battle, but knew they had no way of winning against such a creature.

“What do you want coming into this snowy lands, dragon?” Wrutzus said.

Wrutzus was the leader of the giant race, therefore he had to be the one talking with such a majestic creature.

“I came here to help. It will not be free, but it is something only you can do for me.”

The mighty voice of that dragon echoed, and all the giants heard. Their situation was getting worse, and a help from such creature would make them reborn.

Arthur watched all of that as if he was a spirit, invisible to everyone else. The flashbacks changed to a part where Wrutzus talked with the ‘gods’, who forced the giant race to change sides.

“The dragons will go against you after this, and you’ll regret. I’m telling you, Wrutzus, you will do what I asked, or else this entire continent will die.”

These ‘gods’ had masked their appearance, and even Wrutzus did not know how they looked, but felt their power, and they were strong. They were stronger than the dragons, and the only reason for them to not wipe them was because the dragon’s special abilities, which made them resurrect even after getting killed.

Wrutzus had no choice but to forge a weapon capable of killing the dragons for good, and to forge such a weapon would take him lots of time.

Arthur returned to reality.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have enough power to show all the memories to you.” Wrutzus apologized, bowing deeply to Arthur.

“That’s okay. Now, answer me, what is this place?”

“This is the place were a major fight against the dragons took place, and where the gods locked me. Also, there’s something important I want to tell you.”
