chapter 1096: are you always hungry

archer grinned at the older woman while answering, "millions morena, enough to create a horrifying army to drop on the alliance."'
after that, she rushed out of the prison to get demacia, and her excitement surged, making him laugh. once that was over, he opened the gate to the davis mansion and stepped through.
the surrounding guards momentarily panicked but quickly calmed down when they realized it was archer. standing in the garden, he spotted grace and nancy strolling nearby, and they paused in surprise.
nancy rushed over, wrapping her arms around him in a warm embrace. "it's so good to see you, arch! how have things been?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine concern.
"i've been good, nance; sorry i haven't come to see you ladies. i got carried away with a few things," archer replied with a smile.
the short-haired woman nodded, "it's okay; i've been training as the fight was rescheduled."
after that, nancy guided him inside while grace greeted him with a small smile. as they walked through the mansion, archer noticed the staff watching them with wide eyes. curious, the asked, "what's wrong with them?"
nancy chuckled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "you've been on the news almost every day, babe! but nobody can get near you; you always vanish whenever they try to close the distance."
"well, i can fly and teleport all over the place; i'd be stupid not to use it to avoid all the crowds," he answered as the trio entered the mansion.
as they did, grace quickly said before leaving the duo behind, "i'm going to study. it was nice seeing you, archer."
he watched the youngest davis sister walk away as nancy commented, "she doesn't know how to act around you, arch; some of the sisters are put off with how many women you have."
archer shrugged as they continued walking and listening to nancy, who shared details about her training and the upcoming fights she'd invited him to watch. he nodded, agreeing to come along, just as they arrived at her bedroom door.
as they entered, he glanced around and asked, "is lex at work? i should text her."
"don't; she has an important meeting with the company managers," nancy replied, taking off her jumper and looking at him. "do you want a cup of tea, babe?"
he nodded, then sat, sinking into the plush cushions with a deep, contented sigh. closing his eyes, archer conjured several mana orbs that floated around him, softly glowing as they burned away excess energy.
the gentle hum of mana filled the room, causing nancy to look over with a smile. the colors lit up the room in a warm glow. she beamed before speaking, "i still can't get used to your magic."
archer grinned mischievously and sent several mana orbs flying toward nancy, who let out a startled yelp, ducking to dodge them. he chuckled, thoroughly amused. "relax, nance,'' he said in a playful tone. "they won't hurt you; it's just pure magic-straight from me."'
"i want to show you the monsters; now watch," archer answered with a smile.
the sight before them was breathtaking as they closed in on the battlefield. nightmare ants clashed fiercely with man-sized insects. the sky was a storm of chaos as the flying ants tore through the air, their dark, jagged wings slicing through clouds.
opposing them, the dragonflies swarmed with intensity, their bodies glowing like embers, each beating wing stirring sparks that ignited the air around them. with a fierce, unearthly screech, a cluster of ants dove through the flames, their mandibles snapping.
the dragonflies retaliated, launching tiny fireballs that burst against the ants' armored exoskeletons, illuminating the battle in flashes of red and orange. he was impressed, but when the anti-air explosions rocked the sky.
archer glanced down, eyes widening as he saw a swarm of anti-air ants aiming at the fire dragonflies, only for a wave of dark termites to crash into them from the side. shocked, he took it all in while nancy, utterly captivated, asked, "is this...normal here?"
instead of answering, he teleported them back to the treehouse. they arrived just as nyx emerged from her rest, stretching as she awoke. her face lit up when the dragon woman saw him, and with a delighted smile, she rushed forward, wrapping him in a warm embrace. "husband! did you hear those damn insects?" nyx huffed, crossing her arms. "the battle started right after you left-they couldn't wait even a second!"
archer chuckled when hearing this before introducing the two women, "nyx, this is my childhood friend and future wife nancy davis, lexi's older sister."
when he said that, the navy-haired woman went red as she heard this, but he continued with the introductions: "nancy, this is my fiance, nyx drakebane."
the dragon woman smiled before holding her hand and cheerfully said, "it's good to meet
you, sister."
archer smiled at that, but nancy took her hand and smiled in response, her cheeks still red. the three chilled in the living room after he breathed dragon fire in the fireplace. beautiful violet flames roared to life as the afternoon hung overhead while the weather got cold. nancy was shivering, causing archer to take out a blanket before wrapping it around the young woman, who smiled.
"thank you, arch. is the weather in this place like the real world?" she asked while getting
comfortable.
he was about to answer, but nyx did it for him, "it's connected to the outside world; husband likes it because it gets boring only ever feeling warmth in this place."'
as the weather worsened, rain pelted the treehouse windows, creating a rhythmic drumming that filled the room. while they settled in, mavis appeared, "would you like some hot chocolate, master? we've grown cocoa beans and crafted the perfect drink for you."
intrigued, archer nodded. "yes, please! but make sure there's enough for everyone." following that, the brownie vanished, shocking nancy, who was staring at the spot where mavis was standing. he laughed before explaining that he rescued them eight years ago, and
they have lived in the domain ever since.
