Chapter 820 Just Watch Husband
When Archer got their message, he said goodbye to the two women but noticed Meera looking at him with an unknown look. Without thinking, he scooped the tiger woman into a princess carrying her, causing her to yelp.
He looked at Aisha and spoke mischievously, ''I'm borrowing the prime minister. I will take her to see the underwater mines.''
The dragonkin woman grinned, ''Oh, I don't mind, My Lord. You may take her.'' she said. ''I'll be busy with paperwork.''
Meera's yellow eyes widened when she heard Aisha's words, causing Archer to leave the room only to listen to her speak for the final time: ''Don't ravage her too much, husband. I need her ready for work in the morning.''
Archer nodded before using Blink to teleport outside the window while summoning his wings and taking off south while Meera screamed in fright. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders in panic as the wind hit her face.
'Oh, please goddesses, don't let me die because of this crazy boy. Why is he doing this?' Meera thought as her heart raced with fear.
He looked at the tiger woman and smiled, ''We haven't spent much time together, but I hope to rectify that in the coming weeks as I spend more time in the kingdom.''
Meera turned to him and nodded, but he saw the fear in her eyes, which made him feel guilty. So he descended toward the ground so she would be more comfortable, and when he did this, she finally spoke, ''I hate heights.''
Archer laughed, ''I used to be terrified of heights too, you know. But there's something freeing about conquering that fear. You're safe with me, I promise.''
''I wish it were the same for me,'' Meera replied. ''Even though I was raised in a mountain village on Orientia in the East. So I should be used to heights, yet I'm not.''
He chuckled, ''Well, I will get you used to them, Prime Minister.''
After speaking, Archer quickly ascended. He was high above the kingdom, and the towns and cities were specs of light. While up there, he spoke, noticing her eyes were closed tight, ''Open them and look at the beautiful view.''
And he was right; the view from where they were was amazing as the green landscape stretched into the distance with forests here and there. Archer noticed the Dragonfire River snaking its way through the kingdom.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
The mountains that circled the island were in clear view as they stretched into the clouds. Soon, the tiger woman opened her eyes, shocked when she saw everything, causing Archer to laugh.
''See, it's beautiful, isn't it?''
Meera nodded before looking around and soon started to calm down. The fear faded as she knew Archer wouldn't drop her. It took another ten minutes to reach the Northwestern Sea Wall, only to see Demetra and Kassandra standing on top of it, waiting for him.
Archer swooped toward the two, and when he closed in on the wall, he cast Blink and reappeared in front of the two girls, who smiled as they saw him. Meera, in the meantime, let out a scream.
The two titans looked at her with narrowed eyes before Demetra commented, ''There's something strange about this woman Arch.''
Kassandra nodded in agreement, but Archer waved them away, ''Meera is fine. Aisha has known her for years.''
''Why are you three talking like I'm not here?'' the woman asked.
Archer let her down as she straightened out her dress, ''There is nothing strange about me apart from being raised in seclusion, unlike most people.''
Meera smiled when hearing this and soon settled down before asking to be let down, which Archer did. Soon after, they were swimming far below the surface where thousands of monsters roamed.
The water shimmered with a soft, supernatural glow as the four descended deeper into the ocean, carried gently on Demetra's massive back. Encased within the protective shield, they moved effortlessly through the water.
As they traveled, the underwater world unfolded in all its splendor. Mountain ranges rose from the seabed, their peaks hidden in the dark blue depths above. Strange-looking corals clung to the rocky surfaces, illuminating their path with otherworldly light.
Archer glanced at Meera, who was wide-eyed and awe-struck, her earlier fear completely forgotten. "It's incredible, isn't it?" he asked, his voice tinged with excitement.
Meera nodded, her yellow eyes reflecting the soft glow of the corals. "It's beyond anything I ever imagined," she said softly. "I never knew such beauty existed beneath the waves."
''Yes, just wait and see; things will get better,'' he said just as Demetra and Kassandra dived deeper once they saw a crack in the ground that led into a deep-sea dark and creepy-looking gorge.
When seeing this, Archer contacted the two girls, ''What is this place?''
''Just watch husband,'' Kassandra responded.
As they plunged into darkness, everything went black, prompting Meera to draw closer to Archer instinctively. Sensing her fear, Archer reached out and gently wrapped his arms around her waist, offering comfort just as she let out a startled scream.
The sudden noise made Archer jump, his heart racing as a soft pink light illuminated Demetra's back. In the eerie glow, they caught sight of a menacing figureâan anglerfish-like creature with razor-sharp teeth gleaming like swords, its eyes glowing a menacing blue.

'Why is it so strong?' he mused.
Archer raised his hand to cast an Azur Cannon into the creepy-
looking monster, but before he could do anything, a tentacle wrapped around its body and squeezed the life out of it until it popped like a blood-filled balloon.
This caused blood to erupt like an explosion in the water before the corpse was dragged backward, and Kassandra's building-
sized eye appeared while staring at Archer full of love, which he returned by blowing her a kiss.
The Kraken Princess got excited and dashed around in the water as Demetra spoke, ''We call this the Nightmare Trench husband. Kass and I normally hunt down here, but we can't go too far down as some Nameless Things lurk in the dark.''
Archer nodded, ''Where are the Mana Crystal Mines?''
''Not far,'' Kassandra answered. ''About five minutes from here.''
