Picking up Girls With My System-Chapter 403 Arthur Is A Necromancer!

The trio of Arthur, Agatha, and Jake left the town, running through the forests, making sure to stay as far as they could from the main road — to avoid meeting others.

"So you are an elf! Jake never told me about it," Arthur asked while they ran.

"He did not know either," Agatha chuckled.

Jake did not know she was an elf all that time. Still, Agatha did speak with her family and the other elves about him. After a long time, they finally accepted him to live with them.

Well, the first time she spoke, her family said no, and Agatha did not push it further, but after Jake made the pact, she felt an urge inside her to try more, which worked!

"And what about you? What are you doing meddling with the humans?" Agatha asked.

Arthur was fooling her with the identity of an elf, which would be hard to pass by, considering all the elves in the demon continent knew each other! There was nowhere to run, so Arthur decided to speak a somewhat truth.

"I'm from somewhere else, not the demon continent. I came here by accident, passing through a portal."

"Whaaaaat? Really?"

"Yeah, crazy, right?"

Jake and Agatha were surprised, as it was uncommon for outsiders to be in that place.

"Well, Jake will obey me no matter what, and the elves rarely betray each other, so I think everything will be alright," thought Arthur, hoping for the best.

They were moving fast, but not fast enough! Arthur could sense someone was following them, and when he looked behind his back, it was some of the priests from the church!

That was a bad sign, but the situation was not THAT bad. The Bishop, the only one Arthur was truly scared of, was not there, so he had to deal with those priests as soon as possible.

"You two, keep moving. There are some people following us. I will deal with them."

"But what if we get too far?"

"I can track both of you easily, don't overthink it. GO!"

Agatha and Jake nodded as they continued to move forward. At the same time, Arthur stopped and hid behind some bushes, waiting for the enemies to come to him.

"What are we chasing again?"

"A freaking demon, so shut up and keep focus. We only need to follow the demon until we can message the Bishop."

The priests did not intend to fight Arthur. Their only mission was to follow him and message his exact location to the Bishop, but that would take some time, and they had to keep themselves close to him.

In their minds, even if Arthur was strong, he would not go against five priests alone, as that would be hard even for someone like him.

That was precisely the advantage Arthur was looking for. He knew by experience that a surprise attack was the best there was! So, when the five priests passed by, flying in the sky, Arthur took the chance to strike!

"I only have this spear, so be it!"

Arthur's only weapon was the spear he got from the battle in the coliseum, as he had lost everything else and was now with ragged clothes and dirt all over his body.

He did not choose the target but tossed his spear to a random priest, piercing it through its heart with ease!

"What was that?" One of the priests said when they noticed, one of them was falling down on the ground, dead.

"Blood Devour!" Arthur said, immediately draining all the blood from the dead priest, turning it into a dried corpse.

"Blood Simbioses!"

The blood drained from the priest flew toward Arthur, nurturing his weak body and covering it, acting like armor! Arthur also moved his hand, making the spear return to his hand, and it also got blood around it, increasing its damage.

With all of that blood around him, Arthur looked like a demon straight from the underworld, and even if the priests had the number advantage, they did not feel like it when facing Arthur.

"I-I don't remember it being this scary. Wasn't it just a skinny young man?"

Arthur looked at them and wondered what he should do next. They were still four, and he was only one. But there was another spell from the Blood Monarch's inheritance that he had practiced a few times in the rats inside the church's dungeon, which could work with that dead priest.

"This is a forbidden technique even for the Blood Monarch, and I can only use it once every few days. But still, this will make the fight a lot easier!"

"Dead Thrall!"

Arthur pierced his own spear on his belly, making blood spurt from the wound, and all of that blood flew toward the dead priest again.

The others could not understand what Arthur was doing. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

"Didn't he drain the priest just now?" they thought, but when they saw what happened next, they could not believe it!

That priest, dead a few moments ago, was now alive again, but as a zombie! Arthur's blood had resurrected the priest for a few hours, making it so that he would fight by his side!

"This freaking Blood Monarch was like a vampire, a blood magician, a demon, and a necromancer. It seems he knew all the evil spells," thought Arthur.

Not that he was complaining about it, as that was making his life much easier!

"What is that? How is he alive again?"

"T-The Demon resurrected the priest! What kind of power is this?"

The dead priest looked almost exactly like when he was alive, the only difference being his pale skin and the wound from the spear toss.

Of course, its intelligence was not the same as before, but it was still enough to help Arthur greatly in that battle!

The first thing he did was to cast some buffs that the priests knew, those of the Light Element. It was funny to see a 'demon' receive holy buffs.

Another protective layer surrounded Arthur, giving him even more layers of defense. After that, he and the zombie priest flew into the sky to face the others.

Arthur instantly dashed toward one of the priests. They were prepared by it, but Arthur was so fast the priest did not have the chance to cast the spells he had in his mind, dying with a bloody spear pierced through his throat.

Now the fight was three against two, and when the survivors realized their only advantage — their

number — was vanishing, they wanted to flee!

"Run! Fuck the Bishop, I will not die for him!" they yelled, flying away from Arthur as fast as they could.

The dead priest managed to cast a magical rope in time, tying up the leg of one of them. Arthur jumped on that locked priest, aiming for the neck with his fangs, draining the blood from that man.

As for the other two, Arthur couldn't catch up with them. They had similar flying speeds as him, so it would be useless.

Also, they were opposite where Arthur was going, so it was better to keep moving to meet up with Agatha and Jake and then erase his tracks so that the Bishop did not chase him.

"Goodbye, zombie," said Arthur, deactivating the spell, making the priest dead again.
