A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 978: This War Is Going To Be Tricky

Archer smiled and kissed each of the six women on the cheek before stepping aboard the ship and retreating to his room to relax. Meanwhile, the women trailed behind him, chatting animatedly about the spell he had just used to clear a path to the swarmsʼ island.

”The journey shouldnʼt take too long now.ʼ

Following that, Archer and the First Fleet battled north until reaching the creepy-looking island where the teleportation blocker was activated. When he felt the mana radiating from it, he thought, ʼThere arenʼt any Demi-Gods there, only weaker Terravians.ʼ

This confused him as he expected them to lay a trap. However, when he sent the Shadow Creatures to scout the island, they reported that about one hundred enemies were lurking around.

Archer turned to Olivia, Ashoka, Maeve, Talila, Meredith, and Ari, ”The guards are underwhelming. I feel they will ambush us if we get closer.”

The women turned to him with curious expressions until Olivia commented, ”What do you mean love?”

”One hundred Terravians are guarding the teleportation blockers when I expected a pseudo- God like Ari or Brooke, but there are only weak Demi-Gods,” Archer explained while staring at the island.

”That is concerning,” Maeve said while stepping beside him. ”They might be setting up an attack.”

Following that, Archer devised a plan to safeguard the fleet. Turning to the six women, he said, ”Ari, Meredith, and Talila will stay behind. Ari, being a Pseudo-God, and Talila, the finest archer Iʼve ever seen and on the verge of Sovereign Rank, will be important in protecting the ships during the journey home.”

They all looked concerned, which caused him to explain, ”We canʼt risk the fleet as itʼs our strongest one. We will bombard the island with the missile ships, but after that, Olivia will return to Draconia if the Alliance reappears as they work with the swarm.”

”Will you be okay?” Meredith asked in a concerned voice. ”I know Iʼm not as strong as you guys, but I want to support you.”

Archer nodded confidently, ”Everything will be fine; once I destroy the blocker, I will teleport to one of you.”

The blonde maid gave a nervous smile before hugging him tightly, along with Talila and Ari, who were happy to help however they could. Afterward, Olivia ordered the missile ships to fire at will, and when they launched the Draconian Missiles, they soared high into the sky.

ʼI love these things! They will be handy during the war to deal with the overwhelming numbers we are due to face,ʼ he thought with a big smile.

Archer watched as they shot toward the island before slamming into it, causing massive explosions that sent a wave toward the fleet. He instantly reacted and poured most of his mana into the Cosmic Shield that covered the Draconian ships.

ʼHopefully this can hold the water back.ʼ

The women were shocked, but Archer felt sweat dripping down his face as the tsunami hit the violet shield. He was forced to one knee as his body started trembling, and his arms shook due to the force pushing against the shield.

ʼFighting Mother Nature isnʼt someone to mess around with,ʼ Archer thought while gritting his teeth.

Talila and Meredith rushed toward him, but Ari stopped them as she explained, ”Donʼt go near him, girls! His mana is going crazy and will hurt you.”

”Why is he struggling like that?” Maeve questioned from the side.

The Elemental woman pointed out the bridge window. Their eyes widened, and their jaws dropped. Talila turned to Archer, who was smiling at them, but she could see the stress he was handling.

”Ladies, if you can send me some mana, that would be good,” Archer said, strained due to the force he had to deal with, causing the women to react instantly.

Ari transformed into her Mana Elemental and sunk into his body, causing him to shiver as he heard her voice in his mind, ʼIʼm always here to help you, husband. We are bonded remember.ʼ Archer nodded gratefully to the white-haired woman as he felt the six mana stream into his body. The surge of energy revitalized him, allowing him to maintain the Cosmic Shield and protect the ships from the oncoming tsunami.

As the wave subsided, he finally released the shield. Exhausted and breathless, Archer collapsed to his knees. Ari immediately appeared before him, her concern evident as she began to check on him.

ʼʼIʼm fine; I just need time to recover the lost mana,” Archer said while standing up and finding a chair to relax.

He slumped down and closed his eyes as his body sucked in the worldʼs mana. An hour passed by, and Archer felt refreshed. After that, the missile ships reported running out of ammunition and that they were now rejoining the formation.

ʼSo much better now, Archer thought as he stretched his limbs, feeling the tension ease from his body.

With a satisfied smile, he gave the order for the fleet to turn around and head back to Draconia. Ari, Meredith, and Talila bid their farewells, offering words of caution before they stayed behind.

ʼIʼm glad theyʼre so understanding,ʼ he mused with a soft smile as he watched them go, appreciating the strength and trust that bound them all together.

Following that, Archer summoned his wings alongside Nyx. He scooped Maeve into a princess carry while the chaos dragon picked up Ashoka. They slowly started flying toward the dark island just as a dozen spells flew at them.

Archer chuckled and activated Anti-Magic, causing the projectiles to vanish into nothing. Once that happened, he located the attacks thanks to their mana signatures and sent a dozen Plasma Missiles to each target.

Explosions rang out across the island as Archer looked at Nyx and smiled excitedly, ”Fly to the other side and attack from behind. We will meet up in the middle.”ʼ

The chaos dragon beamed before taking off East, which caused Maeve to comment as she held onto him, ”Arenʼt you worried?ʼ

Archer shook his head. ”No. Nyx and Ashoka are strong; I have faith weʼll meet up soon enough,” he said with a reassuring smile.

With those words, he launched himself into the air, unleashing a barrage of Plasma Missiles on the Novgorodians scattered across the island. The sight of them shocked him at first, but that shock quickly gave way to a fierce, burning anger.

He fought with relentless brutality, tearing through the soldiers and even taking on his Shadow Prince form to rip them apart, biting off their heads in a savage frenzy. Soon, Archer and Maeve stood in a makeshift camp, clearly established by the Alliance, with soldiers from a

dozen different kingdoms.

”The Alliance has grown,ʼ he thought grimly. ʼThis war is going to be tricky.ʼ

”Arch! There are more camps throughout the island,” Maeve informed him while cleaning blood off her sword. ”Ashoka said they have taken out four so far.”

Archer nodded with a big smile, ”Good. Now we need to destroy the blocker, and then I will get access to the Domain where Demecia and her sister are along with my Monster Army.”

”More women?” Maeve asked in a deadpan voice.

He started laughing before answering, ”Yes. I met them when I was a young boy. Demecia wanted to join Draconia, but the blocker spell stopped us from communicating.”

”Does that mean theyʼve been trapped in there for years?” she questioned while he picked her

up again.

Archer chuckled, ”They have food, monsters, prisoners, and all the mana they could need to experiment and tinker with their projects. Necromancers are anti-social and love their own space, but Morena was so hardcore that it baffled me,” he said in an amused voice.

He shook his head before continuing, ”When I first met her, she wanted my baby, but Iʼm not into that sort of stuff. I want children with women I love, not a stranger.”ʼ Maeveʼs grey eyes lit up as she asked, ”Would you be in our childʼs life? Even if you become an

emperor?”

Archer stopped flying and looked at her, then answered, ”I would. I only had parents back on Earth, but here on Thrylos, they were evil to me, and Iʼd never want that for my children.”

After clearing the camp, Archer continued flying, relentlessly hunting down any remaining Novgorodian soldiers. Each enemy he found was swiftly eliminated, his fury driving him

forward.

Eventually, they tracked down the leader of the group. Nyx appeared, dragging the man by his foot. With a casual toss, she threw him at Archerʼs feet, her expression cold and unyielding.

”Husband, if you donʼt deal with this vile human, I will tear him apart. He tried to flirt with me, and it was disgusting,” Nyx said while cringing.

Maeve and Ashoka laughed as the orange-haired woman said, ”Most males that see us act like this; itʼs pathetic, to be honest.”

Archer agreed with a nod; his violet eyes gleamed with malice as he gazed at the scared human. He crouched down to face the man and spoke with a smile that didnʼt reach his eyes: ”So you flirt with my chaos dragon? What is it with you human thinking with your lower

brain?”

The man muttered something, but Archer slapped him while complaining, ”Be a man and speak clearly. Canʼt you see Iʼm here to help?”

”Youʼre not here to help, demon,” the Novgorodian commander snapped after being teased

even more.
