Once Archer finished eating, the five girls expressed their desire to stay with the 1st Legion when it moved north. He informed them that they would all head to Draconia until the Swarm attacks ceased, but only after meeting up with everyone.
When Teuila suggested picking up the others and bringing them to the fortress, Archer agreed. He decided to go to Mediterra for Hemera, Hecate, and Talila. The girls all agreed with his decision and walked outside with him.
After standing in the courtyard, Archer looked at the girls with a loving smile. "Be careful on your journey north. I will be back later or in the morning, and I might gather them all at once, saving time," he said.
They all nodded before saying goodbye with a kiss. After that, he took off, and by the time he left the fortress wall, he was joined by Brooke, smiling at him. "You never said goodbye to me, grandson, but that doesn't matter as I'm coming with you."
Archer smiled before quickly scooping the older woman into a princess carry as they crossed over some mountains. Brooke giggled when he did this but wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
The two continued flying over the Southlands and passed above the Zenia Empire when they spotted a horde of mutate trolls and other monsters, causing Archer to hover above them as a plan formed in his mind.
He chuckled before summoning hundreds of Stone Men that fell on top of the horde and quickly tore them apart. The commanding Swarm Monsters fell to the fists of Archer's stone constructs.
Archer was hovering above the battlefield as Brooke slipped out of his arms before casting her spells. This allowed him to scan the beautiful, mature woman.
[Brooke Ashguard]
[Level: 2374]
[Rank: Pseudo God]
[Magic: Fire - Thunder - Light]
'She's only leveled up once since we first met,' Archer mused. 'Its definitely harder the higher rank you are."
He soon stopped thinking and cast Plasma Missiles, which chased the monsters around before piercing their bodies with scorching violet lava. When the spells hit the mutated trolls, they dropped dead without making a noise.
After fighting for an hour, the Swarm was dealt with, and the Stone Men brought Archer thousands of hearts. When receiving those, he transformed into his Shadow Prince form before eating every heart in his Item Box.
When that happened, Archer felt a rush of experience flow through his body. It was overwhelming, and he dropped to his knees. The thousands of hearts broke down and seeped into his system, granting him numerous status points.
Minutes later, everything settled down. Archer looked up to see Brooke staring down with a concerned expression. He smiled at her before standing on wobbly legs, but she grabbed him to hold him steady.
Archer shook his head and checked his new status.
[Experience: 3000200/4000000]
[Experience Gained: 2000000]
[HP: 50500>50700]
[Mana: 795600>795800]
[Strength: 58000>58100]
Giants ran amok inside the city, destroying buildings and crushing the palace walls. When Archer saw this, his rage overtook him, and he transformed into his dragon form before using
Blink to get close.
He fell on top of his enemy, and savagery tore it apart before moving on. They tried to fight back, but Archer dodged the swings like a cat before dragging his claws across the creature's
face.
Following his first attack, Archer let out an earth-shaking roar before lunging toward the closest Gaint. He quickly cast Blink and appeared on the monster's back, his claws digging
deep into its thick hide.
"Time to end this," Archer growled, his voice a guttural snarl as he dragged his claws across its spine. He severed muscle and bone like cutting through butter, causing blood to splatter over the nearby buildings.
In a final, brutal twist, Archer wrenched Giant's head from its body, tossing it aside like a discarded toy. He escaped from the falling corpse, wings spreading wide as he soared to the
next target.
Archer closed in on another creature who was unaware of his approach but soon noticed when The let out a rage-filled roar. It began to swing a massive club toward his head, but he used Blink to dodge the attack before crashing into it.
His claws lashed out like an angry cat, slicing Giant into bits. A severed arm fell to the street below while the other flew into the distance. Archer didn't ease up by biting its head and
crushing it.
Blood poured out like a water fountain. The monster's eyes widened in shock before it collapsed, lifeless, to the ground. His fury was unrelenting. The giants fell before him one by one, killing more savagely than the last.
He moved like a shadow, a blur of death and destruction. It tried to fight back, but their efforts were futile against his overwhelming power and speed. As he butchered through the horde, the sky darkened with storm clouds drawn by the intensity of his wrath.
It took Archer an hour to kill the giants, but when he finally did, exhaustion settled over him.
Bloodied and weary, he went to the palace garden, seeking respite. Curled beneath the ancient trees, he allowed himself to drift into sleep, the serene surroundings starkly contrasting with the earlier chaos.
His wounds, though numerous, began to heal as his regeneration powers quietly mended his
battered body. As he slept, the palace garden became a sanctuary of peace amidst the ruins of Ravenna, the soft rustle of leaves and the distant murmur of the city lulling him into a deep
slumber.
Hours passed, and Archer felt someone stroking his nose, causing his eyes to open lazily. He spotted his adopted mother, Cassandra, standing there with a loving smile. Without thinking, The gently nudged the woman with his massive head.
The mature sun elf giggled, "I'm happy to see you too, my son. Thank you for helping us once
again."
Archer grunted before nudging her again as Cassandra continued, "Return to your normal form. I want to see you."
