Picking up Girls With My System-Chapter 313 Sebastian Had No Chance Of Winning

Nefion fell to his knees and sighed with relief after seeing Arthur. The regret he was feeling was too much, and there was so much he needed to do before dying, yet for a moment Nefion believed it would be his end for good, but Arthur came to chance that outcome.

"Wait, a second…" Sebastian said, gazing at Arthur.

Although Arthur had different clothes and hair, his facial features were still similar to that of what he used to get into the Blood Spear Academy. It was easy to link the two, and that shocked Sebastian.

"Arthur? This makes little sense. Aren't you supposed to be in the seventh or eighth circle? How are you a rank 3 mage?"

The chance was so drastic Sebastian believed he was getting crazy after being hit so many times in the battle against Nefion. He smiled, looked at Arthur and said, "so what? Even though you are a rank 3 mage, there is no way you can go against me!"

With a smirk, Arthur said, "oh? Is that the case?"

Then he vanished. No one saw Arthur's movements. In a moment he was there, and then in the next he was not. The speed at which Arthur moved around was something only a few people could go up against.

Arthur appeared right in front of Sebastian, who had just finished his sentence of superiority, but then a powerful punch came directly toward his face, and he was sent flying kilometers away. It was just a normal punch with no special skill, just the pure strength of Arthur, yet it was enough to cause significant damage to Sebastian.

"How? No rank 3 mage is stronger than me!"

Sebastian sounded like a maniac, not willing to accept what was happening. There was one spell he could use, but it would cost him some of his life essence, and that was hard to recover.

"Losing here means death, so what if I need to recover for some years?" Sebastian thought.

The last spell he had upon his sleeve boosted his body to an incredible extent. Sebastian sliced his arm using his claws, and all the blood of his body left, making him look like a mummy. Then, it attached to his skin, creating a more powerful version of the armor he had previously used.

It shaped around his claws too, making them their deadliest weapon! The transformation had a limit of time, so Sebastian did not want to lose time, dashing toward Arthur at a speed he had never had before.

Even Arthur was surprised, and just like what he did, Sebastian attacked him fast in a way that normal rank 3 mages would not defend against, but Arthur was no normal mage!

The claw came directly toward his heart, but Arthur grabbed Sebastian's right arm using his left arm, and then twisted his body, kicking him in the ribs! All of that happened in less than a second, and Sebastian was sent flying once again.

He could not believe Arthur was stronger than him after using his transformation. Sebastian went again and again, making use of his strengthened body to attack Arthur with everything he got, yet it was not working!

Sure, he land a few hits, making Arthur bleed, which gave him hope, but Arthur's body regeneration was so fast the wounds vanished after a few exchanges of blows, making it impossible for Sebastian to win if things continue that way.

But what else could he do? He had used everything he got. The transformation was his strongest spell, and surely it was strong, but Arthur was stronger! Sebastian was panting, and made peace with the fact he was going to die!

"What are your last words, Sebastian?" Arthur said.

He looked directly into Arthur's eyes and said, "can you spare my students?"

"I can, but if they start a war again, no."

"Thank you."

Sebastian looked calm and grateful, way different from his normal attitude. Did the brink of death change him? Perhaps he was sorry for all the bad he did back when alive.

Arthur concentrated his fire and lightning essence around the palm of his hand, creating a vortex of energy around it. Just by looking, one knew it was a powerful attack.

He moved the palm toward Sebastian, and before it hit him, Sebastian said, "we will see each other again, hehehe." 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

Then Sebastian was no more! The two essences around Arthur's palm had so much power it turned Sebastian into dust, moving away with the wind as if he had never existed. It was finally over! The war would end, and Nefion was safe.

"You did it! Hahahaha, you learnt it well with this old man!" Nefion said, laughing and patting Arthur on the shoulder.

"I did, yes. Let's go back and stop the battle. Also, we should send the message to everyone that the leader of the dark mages is dead."

When Arthur and Nefion returned to Ouroboros, most of the students were waking up again, and when they saw two powerful mages flying toward them, no one made a move. Both sides stopped and waited to hear what Arthur and Nefion would say.

Nefion was their leader, so he was the first to talk. He looked at all the students and said, "Sebastian is dead. There is no leader in the dark mages anymore, and you can't win against two rank 3 mages. Tell that to everyone, and we shall stop the war."

The students there were relieved! For them, what was important was their magical path, learning and growing as much as they could. Sebastian was the one who wanted war after the inheritance he wanted got stolen away.

The war was a way to look for the person who had the bloodline, but it did not work his way, and he ended up dead! All the other mages went along in the war because of Sebastian's power. How could they say no to a rank 3 mage? But now that he was gone, their lives would return to their usual, and everyone would return walking their own path, which was exactly what they wanted.

All the mages from the Blood Spear Academy bowed toward Nefion and Arthur, and then left. The news about what happened would spread throughout the continent fast, and the war was over.

Not only the mages were happy with the end, but the normal people were too! They could finally live without the fear of getting jumped by a dark mage out of a sudden. Sure, attacks would still happen, but it was significantly less than with a war going on.

Arthur told Nefion about the two friends he made back at the Blood Spear Academy, and said they were good people who will join Ouroboros, as it was the best school, with the shadow as their key element.

"Just get them here for this old man to have a look."

"Where are we, Lucas?" Liz said. She remembered to be in the battle against the Ouroboros school, but how could she be there, in the middle of nowhere?

"I- I don't know. It feels like we passed out."

As they were getting up, leaning their bodies into an enormous tree, a voice entered their ears.

"Yo, my best friends. Remember me?"

"Arthur? You…"

"Look different? Stronger? More handsome? That is what I do."

"You look the same… What happened?" Liz asked.

Arthur explained the situation, emphasizing his incredible power, which made everyone pass out, and then how he faced Sebastian and won. Of course, he did not share the bloody details of the fight.

"So, the war is finally over? This is great!"

They were both happy after hearing it. It meant the battles between sides would stop, and everyone could focus on improving their strength without exposing themselves to that much danger.

"Oh, I almost forgot. The old man who rules Ouroboros wants to see you two."

"What? Really? How did you get him to accept us?"

"I told him I would kick his ass if he did not."

"…"

The trio went flying back to Ouroboros. It was easy for Arthur to control the wind and make Lucas and Liz fly slowly.

"The view is incredible!" Liz said.

"I can teach you two the flight spell."

"Please!"

"Bro, teach me some attacks."

"But flying is important too. How can you hit me from the ground?"

"But if I am strong, you will not have the time to fly!" f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

Lucas and Liz argued about what was better, attacks or flying. Arthur was losing his patience, so he said, "just learn how to attack and how to fly. Happy?"

"Oh! You are so wise!"

"Wise? I think it is the contrary…"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. We are almost there prepare to impress the old man."

Now that the war was over, Arthur was ready to focus on improving Odemore and taking control of the central continent! With Nefion as his ally, that should not be a problem at all.

Also, there was George who Arthur was avoiding, but he had to complete his part of the deal and free him. He hoped that would not bring him any harm.
