A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 846 Iʼll Take You To Her Room

With the Avaloch Kingdom spread below them, Archer let Demetra down, who was smiling, ʼʼI love flying! Thank you for carrying me Arch.ʼʼ

He nodded just as Elara jumped off Sera before she transformed into her humanoid form while speaking, ʼʼWhatʼs the plan?ʼʼ

Archer looked over the Avaloch Kingdom, an island nation off the east coast of Pluoria, dotted with rivers and lakes; it was a peaceful-looking, suspicious land as every other part of Pluoria was being attacked.

The four rested for a while until he came up with an idea, ʼʼWe will cause chaos, slip in, and kidnap Maeve before fleeing back to the mainland,ʼʼ Archer said with a chuckle.

The three women giggled, but Elara said, ʼʼWhat can I do, My lord?ʼʼ

Archer looked at the redhead, ʼʼYou can use fire, correct?ʼʼ

She nodded with a smile, ʼʼAnd thunder.ʼʼ

ʼʼJust like Leira,ʼʼ Archer said before turning to Sera. ʼʼCause chaos, my fairy dragon; make sure they see your power alongside Elara.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhat will you be doing?ʼʼ Demetra questioned.

ʼʼI will go straight for the palace, take out the guards while going for Maive and Cian,ʼʼ Archer replied, stretching his wings. ʼʼAnd you will attack from the river, causing a distraction to lure more guards toward you.ʼʼ

After speaking, he took out two bracelets and gave one to Demetra and Elara. One was a beautiful yellow gem that matched her shark eyes, while the Dragon Marshal got one that matched hers.

When the two women saw the bracelets, they squealed in happiness as they put them on and admired the jewelry. Demetra then stepped forward and quickly kissed before backing off.

Elara went to step forward but stopped herself, but Sera giggled and pushed her toward him, ʼʼJust kiss him on the cheek, general; he favors you,ʼʼ she said as a mischievous smile appeared on her pretty face.

Archer chuckled as the redhead shyly pecked his cheek. Embarrassment tinted her cheeks as red as her hair, and he couldnʼt help but think, ʼSheʼs gorgeous.ʼ

Once that was done, the redhead transformed into her dragon form, and Elara climbed on her back just as a spell was cast over her to keep her on Seraʼs back, ʼʼMeet back here once you recover the Avaloch siblings, sweetheart.ʼʼ

ʼʼYes, but be careful, you two,ʼʼ Archer said with a smile before stroking Sera and smiling at Elara.

After that, the fairy dragon leaped off the mountaintop, following the river north toward Avalochʼs capital. Once they were gone, Archer picked up Demetra and let them fall off the ledge.

The Demon Shark screamed in excitement, as she knew he wouldnʼt let any harm come to her. That was proven when his wings spread out and caught them. They glided to the large river that cut through the land.

Archer whispered into Demetraʼs pointy ear, ʼʼI will drop you into the water, so transform and let me on your back,ʼʼ he moved closer. ʼʼOnce weʼre on Draconia, I will take you on a date, my beautiful shark girl.ʼʼ

Demetra shuddered but nodded as they approached the riverʼs surface and started hovering in one spot. She turned her head and kissed him; Archer reciprocated with a passionate one of his own.

Once they separated, Archer let her go. A bright light emanated from her body as she transformed into her Demon Shark form, causing a massive crash when she hit the water. A mini tsunami washed over the riverbanks, flooding the land.

Archer glanced around and only saw grassland stretching into the distance, ʼThis is prime farmland, why arenʼt the Avalochians not using it?ʼ

He shrugged and didnʼt bother with it as he saw Demetra breach the surface. Archer loved her navy blue skin that gleamed in the morning sun. Her large, yellow, massive eyes scanned the surroundings before letting out a roar.

ʼʼOkay, Iʼm coming,ʼʼ he said with a chuckle before casting Blink to reappear on the top of Demetraʼs massive head.

As he did, that mana washed over him just before she dived into the river, and when they were beneath the surface, it shocked Archer. The river bank sloped down but then dropped into a deep crevice that led into a pitch black.

When Archer saw this, he sent Demetra a message, ʼʼWhat is that place, Dem?ʼʼ

Her large head looked down, and her body shuddered, ʼʼThe Dreaded Depths. Rumors say massive monsters hunt any visitors that travel there.ʼʼ

ʼʼHow many places are under the sea? And is there anything valuable in the depths?ʼʼ

ʼʼYes husband,ʼʼ Demetra replied. ʼʼThere are untold riches, but we must be stronger to go down there.ʼʼ

ʼʼOr we can bring Mary, Brooke, and Agrippina,ʼʼ Archer replied. ʼʼThey would be strong enough to go down there.ʼʼ

ʼʼThey may be enough, but I know you want to create an industry to mine the underwater riches,ʼʼ the shark girl commented. ʼʼI and the others have agreed to help you when things calm down and the Swarms are defeated due to their sea monsters.ʼʼ

Archer nodded in understanding as a ship passed above them, causing him to chuckle, ʼʼDo they know weʼre here, darling?ʼʼ

Demetra shivered in delight when he used a pet name for her. She shook her big head. ʼʼNo husband,ʼʼ she said. I use special magic not to disrupt the water around me; it helps with hunting in the Deep Seas.ʼʼ

ʼʼOh, thatʼs cool,ʼʼ Archer responded. ʼʼI wonder if I can get another dragon form so I can swim.ʼʼ

ʼʼThe eastern dragons are well known for swimming, but I wouldnʼt know how you would get another form,ʼʼ Demetra commented as she took a bite of a dolphin-like monster that swam too close.

This caused Archer to laugh as she chewed the poor monster before speaking, ʼʼWeʼre coming up to a city; the river runs through it, so we can get close.ʼʼ

ʼʼOkay, Dem,ʼʼ he looked around and noticed the river getting bigger and the route to the Dreaded Depths was no longer visible.

Thanks to Archerʼs eyesight, he spotted a castle built out of grey stone jutting from the ground. When he saw this, he said, ʼʼSlow down and wait here.ʼʼ

Demetra agreed as Archer started swimming toward the surface. A weird feeling washed over him as he left her spell, and a sudden cold hit him as the water touched his skin, but he ignored it.

Archer swam to the surface and came up for air only to realize he was in the middle of the Avaloch Capital when he heard explosions going off, thanks to Sera and Elara, who were being chased by mages.

This made him laugh before he called Demetra who joined him in her human form, he grabbed her waist and Blinked to the nearby street where soldiers were rushing around looking panicked.

He sent Elara a message, who responded with an adorable laugh, ʼʼWeʼre fine, Arch, just hurry up as Sera is having too much fun.ʼʼ

Archer laughed at this, ʼʼWe wonʼt take long,ʼʼ he said. ʼʼI will message you when we have Maeve and Cian.ʼʼ

After speaking to the Dragon Marshal, he grabbed Demetraʼs hand and pulled her closer while casting Cleanse on. The shark girl smiled, and it showed as a beautiful smile spread across her face.

The two walked down the street toward the castle, where they saw hundreds of people waiting while watching the sky. Next thing Archer knew, Sera descended to the street above and skillfully flew between the buildings, causing the mages chasing her to crash.

This made Demetra laugh, followed by Archer, as the enemy looked like pancakes while sliding down the buildings. It took them twenty minutes to reach the royal palace guarded by hundreds of soldiers.

Archer spotted someone approaching him he never expected to greet: Seamus, Maeveʼs fiance. This irked him, but Demetra kept him calm. He watched the boy approach with a smile. ʼʼArcher! I didnʼt expect you to show,ʼʼ Seemus said. Come on in. Iʼm sure Maeve will be happy to see you two.ʼʼ

Thatʼs when the boy noticed the shark girl staring at him, which made Archer chuckle before introducing her: ʼʼThis is Demetra Wyldheart, one of my fiances.ʼʼ

The unknowing boy was inviting two wolves into the chicken coop, but Archer did nothing but smile and nod as Seamus led them through the palace gardens until they were intercepted by Maevesʼ Father, Ronan.

Archer greeted the Avaloch King with a grin. ʼʼKing Ronan, itʼs so good to see you. I hope Maeve is doing well,ʼʼ he said in an overly dramatic display of respect.

Demetra giggled, causing Ronan to grit his teeth. ʼʼWelcome, King of Draconia. What brings you here?ʼʼ

ʼʼI was invited, remember? My friend Seamus here invited me to the wedding when we first met,ʼʼ Archer responded before turning his gaze to the brown-haired boy.

Seamus nodded, ʼʼYes, Father-in-law. I invited him during the tournament.ʼʼ

Ronan sighed before turning to Archer, ʼʼNo causing trouble,ʼʼ he warned. ʼʼNow youʼre king, you should think about doing anything dodgy, dragon; otherwise, there will be trouble.ʼʼ

Archer gave the older man a fake smile, ʼʼWouldnʼt dream of it, Ronan,ʼʼ he responded. ʼʼCan I see the bride? Itʼs been a while since we saw each other.ʼʼ

The kingʼs eyes narrowed, but Seamus said, ʼʼCome this way, and Iʼll take you two to her room. She should be getting ready, and because youʼre with Lady Demetra, it will be fine.ʼʼ

ʼʼI wouldnʼt do that, son,ʼʼ Ronan said as he looked at Archer. ʼʼWho knows what devious things he would do to Maeve?ʼʼ

Seamus looked offended, which caused Archer and Demetra to laugh at his foolishness internally. The brown-haired boy commented, ʼʼFather, I donʼt appreciate the things youʼre accusing my friend of. He has done nothing to show his interest in my fiance.ʼʼ

Ronan shook his head, ʼʼDonʼt come crying if anything happens.ʼʼ

Archer quickly added fuel to the fire, ʼʼRonan, how dare you slander my good name,ʼʼ he said with a grin while turning to Demetra, ʼʼAm I a devious dragon, my love?ʼʼ
