Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 158 End of the Dungeon (3)

“What is it?” Arthur said.

“If I’m not mistaken, at the end of this dungeon, there is a living dragon!”

“What? How?”

“The gods put her inside this place not that long ago, but from what I heard, she isn’t a full dragon but a half-one. Her father is a dragon called Nefion.” Wrutzus said.

Arthur did not mutter a word. Nefion was someone he wanted to find, eventually, and now more people related to him were around.

Was Nefion and his brother the two remaining dragons? Not counting with Arthur, of course.

“Do you know if there’re more monsters inside this place? And how do I get both you and her out of this place?”

“There are no monsters, and she is locked inside the next floor, however I’m uncertain you’ll be able to rescue her, and if you can’t rescue her, then I’m trapped here as well.”

Wrutzus told Arthur everything he knew, however, his hope of getting out of that place wasn’t that high. Even if his savior was Placidusax, the gods would surely put a restriction that even the dragons can’t break.

He had no option but to continue forward, so Arthur said goodbye to Wrutzus and promised that he would come back to free him after freeing the dragon.

Behind the pit of lava where the giant was, there was a portal that led to the last level of the dungeon. Arthur stepped in and vanished, appearing in a completely unknown place.

The next floor was a plain with an immense bird cage in the middle. There, a young lady with silver hair laid down on a bed, reading a book she got from the shelf.

Arthur went closer to look at who was it, and when he recognized her, he was astonished.

“Eleonora?”

Eleonora, who was lost in her reading, heard a voice, and instantly got up from her bed. She stared at the young man for some time, before realizing of who it was.

“Arthur? The chef back then that killed my stepfather?”

Arthur already felt the pain of explaining everything to her, saying how her father was not who he said he was, but turned out Eleonora had learned all of that from Nefion.

“Nefion told me everything. Don’t worry. But how are you here?”

“I’m here to rescue you, obviously. Well, honestly, I learned about you being trapped in here a few moments ago, but if I want to leave this place, then I need to free you.”

“Thanks for the honesty.” Eleonora said with a smile.

She had turned even more gorgeous since the last time the two of them met, but Arthur wasn’t paying attention to that, as he had to find a way out of that place, or else he would be forever trapped.

“Who put you in here? And do you know something about the seal?”

“Some beings that call themselves ‘gods’. Even my father, who is a powerful dragon, can’t face them, and the only reason he’s alive is because the gods can’t use their powers properly. About the seal, well, I do not know.”

It seemed even Eleonora knew little about the seal that trapped her inside the cage. Wrutzus also had little information, but was certain it wasn’t something any of them could break.

Arthur went closer to the cage and tried to touch the lock. A blue magical barrier sent him flying with heavy wounds.

He did not know why, but that blue energy felt familiar to him. Arthur got up and tried once again, but this time, he used his devour skill, trying to devour the seal.

Once again, he was sent flying, and the wounds on his body made it impossible to move. A good thing his healing speed was extraordinary, and after twenty minutes, Arthur was up and ready.

After getting in touch with the blue energy two times in a row, a flash of understanding crossed his mind. That type of energy was the same from where Skye was trapped and was the same energy his devotees gave to him.

“Is this useful?” Arthur thought.

Skye had given him a necklace back then, but he did not know what uses it had, therefore it was kept inside his magical pouch to gather dust.

The moment the necklace came out of the pouch, the seal in the door resonated with it, and the blue energy from the seal rushed towards the necklace.

It was absorbing the blue energy, something that even his incredible devour skill couldn’t. What type of necklace was that?

~~~~

Ten minutes of constant absorption resulted in the seal breaking. All the energy was inside the necklace, and the moment Arthur touched it, it all went to his body.

[Absorbing Celestial Energy]

[1%]

[2%]

The energy rapidly filled his body, increasing all of his attributes by a whooping 50 points. A feeling of power erupted, and Arthur felt he could take on anyone at that moment.

[Name: Arthur Willians]

[Draconic Name: Placidusax, the Eater of Worlds]

[Rank: ???]

[Level: 58]

[Health: 12300/12300]

[Mana: 27000/27000]

Attributes:

[Strength: 212]

[Agility: 139]

[Vigor: 134]

[Wisdom: 236]

[Charm: 143]

[Free points: 0]

The level remained the same, but the increase of attributes was something extraordinary, and Arthur was on a different level than before.

“I’m confident enough now to take back the Dragon Scale Empire, although I’m still far away from the ‘gods’.”

After adjusting his body to the new strength, Arthur walked towards the cage and opened it, allowing Eleonora to get out of it.

“Do you know where you father is?”

“I-I do not know.”

“You can stay with me. I’m also a dragon, and the Elven ruler. Not trying to brag here, but I’m the best bet you have.”

Eleonora thought for some time and concluded she had no choice, therefore she went with Arthur. Also, Arthur was a dragon too, so they should help each other.

“Let’s go!”

The two of them left the floor, reaching the pool of lava where Wrutzus was.

“What? You broke the seal? Thats… that’s… ha ha ha, I’m free!”

Wrutzus knelled in front of Arthur, “I’ll follow you to the end, my lord!”
