Picking up Girls With My System

“What direction should we take first?” Arthur said.

The first room was empty, but it had doors at their front, right and left. Arthur had a strong guess that these first rooms could have some traps to stop intruders before they could even take a glance at what was behind those doors.

Rolf had the same guess, so all of them stood still in one place, not moving an inch towards one of these doors. The room was big, so it had plenty of space for all of them.

“This room surely has some traps, but what kind? They could be on the ground, walls, roof, doors, and maybe invisible ones.” Rolf said.

The possibilities were endless, and it made all of them scared. One mage from the Doom Order said something helpful.

“I know a spell that creates a small golem. We can use it to scan the place, and maybe activate some traps to see what exactly should we expect.”

Arthur loved the idea. Even if the golem activated some traps, they would not be in danger. Whoever built this place would surely only put traps that aimed to the target itself, and not something like an area attack, or maybe a detonation devise.

If it did that, then the rest of the rooms could suffer, and maybe he could even destroy his own treasures. No one in their sane mind would do that.

Everyone agreed with the idea of that mage, and soon he cast his spell, creating a small golem made of earth.

He then send towards the door that was in front of them. The room was enormous, so it would take some time for the golem to reach the destination.

But, after the golem reached 100 meters away from them, it will trigger a trap. Arthur was paying a lot of attention, and noticed that the floor beneath the golem moved. It was a trap triggered the moment he stepped into the wrong tile.

That meant the floor they were currently on was akin to a minefield, and any misstep could lead to their end.

What happened next was extraordinary. A spear made of blood appeared out of thin air, piercing through the golem, destroying it instantly.

The mighty of the attack was extraordinary, and Arthur had a feeling that if it was any of them there, they would die for sure.

“How many golems can you make before you ran out of mana?” Arthur said.

“Ten to fifteen. Why?”

The person from the Doom Order did not understand the reason behind such a question. Even if he could only cast a few of them, all he had to do was wait for his mana to recover.

When he thought about that, he instantly understood the reason behind Arthur’s question.

“We can’t regenerate our mana inside this place!” He said.

Everyone present was shocked. That would make their task harder. If an enemy appeared and made them ran out of mana, then they would perish.

But the thing that annoyed them the most was the fact that their plan of using the golem to pass through that minefield was not one hundred percent efficient.

The room was large, and depending on how frequent the traps were, everyone would run out of mana before reaching the next room.

Also, the next room would probably have another type of traps, and they would not have the mana to pass through it as well.

​ “Now you realize the trouble you are in, hahaha!”

The strange mummy who was watching everything laughed out loud as he watched the situation using his magic.

No one, even Arthur, had any idea that someone was watching them.

All of them were anxious, trying to think of ways to overcome the traps, seeing that their mana would not recover while inside that place.

Arthur was not concerned at all! Even though not even he could regenerate his mana inside of that place, it did not mean there was no mana in the atmosphere.

He could devour the mana to replenish his own, which meant he could use that to his advantage.

“Can you teach me this spell? I have a way of recovering my mana while inside this place, and if over one person knows how to use your spell, then we have a better chance of getting out alive.”

A glimmer of hope appeared on the face of everyone present the moment Arthur said he had a way to recover his mana inside that place.

They did not ask him how, as it was not the moment to learn the secrets of others. Focusing on their survival was the most important part, so for that reason, the man from the Doom Order shared his knowledge of the spell.

He used a type of transmission, as he did not have the scroll that contained the spell in hand, but it was still in his memory, so sharing was not that hard.

A piece of information about the golem spell entered the mind of everyone present, and all of them tried to learn it, but it was hard.

It was not a hard spell to learn, but one part of learning a new spell was to practice, and they did not have the luxury of spending their mana carelessly, so it made the learning process more difficult.

Arthur did not have the problem, as even without practicing the spell itself, he could learn it easily using his superior strength.

Within thirty minutes, he could already cast the spell and create an earth golem. The most surprising fact was that the golem looked a lot similar to the one the Doom Order member cast, meaning that their proficiency with the spell was similar.

But that would mean Arthur beat up someone who used the spell for a long time in only thirty minutes. What kind of comprehension was that? Even Rolf, who came from a higher realm, could not believe it.

Arthur looked at them and said, “now two of us know the spell, so shall we continue to trigger some traps?”

They did not see a reason to refuse, and while the rest of them continued to practice the spell, Arthur and the man from the Doom Order focused on finding more traps in that minefield.
