A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 569 The Aetheria Continent

Amaryllis grinned before commenting. ʼʼYouʼre a naughty dragon. Now, let me return to your domain. We have a business to attend to.ʼʼ

When Archer heard that, a frown appeared on his face, which the brown-skinned witch didnʼt miss. ʼʼAra. Will someone miss the little old me? Well, you could always visit the Arcadia Kingdom for a holiday after the Arcane Tournament.ʼʼ

Once she said that, he remembered Tiamatʼs warning and grinned. ʼʼOkay. I assume youʼre teleporting there?ʼʼ

Amaryllisʼs eyes narrowed, but she nodded anyway. ʼʼYes. Could you summon my cousins, please?ʼʼ

ʼʼOf course,ʼʼ Archer answered as he closed his eyes and summoned the two Battle Witches already awake.

Scarlett looked around and was shocked when she saw the remains of Archerʼs one-sided battle. She looked at him and asked. ʼʼWhat happened here?ʼʼ

ʼIt looks like a devil descended and butchered these humans. Interesting.ʼ The pink-haired witch thought to herself as she looked at him.

He grinned before answering. ʼʼA kingdom attacked my fiances home and nearly killed her father. So, like a caring lover, here I am dealing with the issue while creating my kingdom.ʼʼ

Scarlett didnʼt know what to say when she heard this, but Valenciaʼs eyes glowed. She approached Archer, which caught him off guard and demanded. ʼʼAre you planning to join the dragons against us? Why would you treat us like friends if you planned to betray us!ʼʼ

Confusion clouded Archerʼs expression, and an offended look crossed his face, immediately catching the attention of Amaryllis and Scarlett. They knew Valenciaʼs judgment was mistaken and were on the verge of uncovering how wrong it was.

But he snapped at the combat witch. ʼʼJoin the dragons! Iʼve only met a handful and have no interest in their silly war. Why would I, Valencia? Iʼve only ever fought for myself, my girls, and no one else. The thought of fighting you witches outside of having fun hasnʼt crossed my mind. So get that shit out of your mind, and donʼt accuse me again.ʼʼ

After speaking, he noticed Marzena standing at the back with a smile. He walked over to the older witch, who said, as he got close. ʼʼSorry about that, Archer. She is just a suspicious girl and doesnʼt trust easily.ʼʼ

When Archer heard her explanation, he nodded before turning to Amaryllis. ʼʼGet ready to teleport us to Aetheria. The Swarm are planning to attack, but I can deal with it.ʼʼ

Once he was done speaking, the witches all had shocked expressions. But soon, Amaryllis cast a spell teleporting them all to a field outside the capital. When they arrived, he said his farewells before leaving. He summoned his wings before soaring into the sky.

Archer flew for some time, looking for the most significant mountain he could see, and landed on it.?After landing, he soon noticed he wasnʼt alone. A woman was sitting on a boulder, looking at the landscape below.

The mountaintop was quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was the gentle wind. He looked out at Aetheria, which looked beautiful. To the west, majestic mountains reached for the sky, their peaks covered with snow glistening in the moonlight.

Turning towards the east, dense forests sprawled beneath him. The emerald tops created a sea of green, and he marveled at the patterns woven by the trees, seemingly extending infinitely.

In the southern direction, dense jungles unfolded, vibrant and alive with the symphony of exotic creatures. The sea of foliage rippled with shades of green, casting a captivating dance beneath the moonlight.

To the north, expansive plains stretched out, golden grasslands that swayed with the gentle whispers of the wind. Herds of wild beasts grazed peacefully. At the base of the mountain, meandering rivers carved through the land, reflecting the stars like ribbons of liquid sapphire.

Archer traced their winding paths with his eyes, marveling at the artistry of natureʼs waterways. In the distance, a crystal-clear lake shimmered, nestled within a valley surrounded by hills.

He noticed cities scattered across the terrain and a sprawling river that divided the land, indicating it served as the border between the realms of witches and dragons. After looking at the land, he turned his attention to the woman.

Archer studied her and quickly realizes she is a dragon. She had long green hair and a pair of black horns that stood out. They came out of the side of her head, much like his. He looked at her attire, draped in a lengthy cloak and a winter dress.

When she faced him, her coal-black dragon eyes and elongated ears, resembling his own, met his gaze. The presence of green scales outlined in black caught his attention. Unfamiliar with the kind of dragon she was.

Archer inwardly shrugged as if he didnʼt care before addressing her. ”Hello there. I didnʼt expect to find anyone here; itʼs quite a secluded spot.”

She glanced at him, but her eyes sparkled momentarily as she leaped off the boulder and approached him. He couldnʼt help but notice her slim figure and hourglass shape, with boobs the same size as Siaʼs.

The dragon woman stopped before him and spoke in an exotic voice similar to the witches but noticeably different. ʼʼYouʼre the white dragon rumors speak of? Why are you on Aetheria?ʼʼ

Archer loved the sound of her enchanting voice before shaking his head and answering. ʼʼA force will attack the witch kingdom, and Iʼm here to stop them because I hate the creatures, and my lovely Tiamat asked me to do it.ʼʼ

Her eyes widened as Archer spoke the name of the dragon goddess. Without uttering a word, she approached him, drawing nearer, her gaze fixated on his scales.

With a shake of his head, he introduced himself with a charming smile. ʼʼWell, Iʼve only met a handful of dragons, but itʼs certainly nice to meet you. Iʼm Archer Wyldheart.ʼʼ

The woman stopped looking at his scales and directed her gaze to his. Archer noticed her beautiful black eyes were like black holes and tried to suck him in. But she soon replied. ʼʼIʼm Ashara Plaguewyrm. Tell me, are you here only to fight the creatures you mentioned?ʼʼ

Archer nodded with a smile. ʼʼYes. They are evil and infect the land while using the citizens in twisted experiments. Iʼve been encountering them for years.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhy are you not taking this more seriously?ʼʼ Ashara asked with a curious voice.

He chuckled before answering. ʼʼI donʼt need to. They do the same thing every time. Now watch as I find their tunnels.ʼʼ

Following his words, Archer summoned the Tressyms, dispatching them throughout Aetheria to locate the Swarm. Concluding this, he cast Mana Manipulation, shaping two chairs

—one for himself and another for Ashara, who observed him with narrowed eyes.

Archer sat down, unwinding, and began enjoying a meat dish he had purchased earlier. The aroma caught Asharaʼs attention, and her hungry stomach made a sound, which Archer noticed.

He gestured towards the free chair, offering her a meat wrap he had; Archer couldnʼt remember where he bought it, but it was undeniably delicious. Ashara stubbornly took the food and sat down.

The two sat in silence as the moon was high in the sky. Archer saw many shooting stars, which caught the dragon womanʼs attention; when the fifth one passed by, Ashara asked in a curious voice. ʼʼI wonder if other worlds are out there. It would be amazing to see them.ʼʼ

When Archer heard this, he chuckled before answering her confidently. ʼʼI bet there is. There must be, as the universe is massive and uncountable. For we know there is a world with no mana, no demi-humans or dragons on it. Just humans.ʼʼ

The dragon woman burst into laughter upon hearing his words. After Ashara settled down, she responded, ”Imagine if that were true. It would be a nightmare.”

Archer internally laughed at the girl for how wrong she was. He knew Earth was different than Thrylos and didnʼt have mana, or at least he didnʼt know. After that, the two sat in silence again before Ashara asked. ʼʼCan I come with you to clear these creatures?ʼʼ

ʼʼYou do realize itʼs in the Arcadia Kingdom? I thought you dragons hate the witches?ʼʼ He asked while standing up when the first Tressym returned.

The flying cat meowed in happiness as Archer started pampering the beast. Ashara watched this and was shocked. She thought to herself. ʼNo male dragon would act like this with such a beast. They would laugh at him in the dragon kingdoms.ʼ

But Ashara looked closely. She soon noticed the mana radiating from him and realized the white dragon was already a Sovereign Mage. She thought he was no older than fifteen, so she asked. ʼʼWhite dragon. How old are you?ʼʼ

Archer turned around to face the green-haired dragon and scanned her.
