A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 992: Lingering Souls

The Davis Range Rovers were on their roofs in the manor courtyard while on fire as the guards rushed to save the people; more were even lying on the ground dead or injured. When Alexa saw the scene, she stood in shock, trembling and mumbling about her mother and other sisters in the vehicles.

When Archer saw this, he felt terrible and comforted her by hugging her and whispering, ”Remember what I said when we were sitting on that beach where we were twelve?”

She nodded before replying, ”You said you would move mountains and help me in any way you can.”

Archer smiled as he spoke while cupping her cheeks that were stained with tears, ”Now watch what your husband can do and fall more in love with me, my girl,”

Without wasting any more time, he waved his hand and used Mana Manipulation to put the flames out, which shocked everyone. The guards aimed their weapons at him while telling him to step back. ”Shut up, or you will die if you speak again,” Archer replied coldly.

Following that, he ignored them while approaching the destroyed wreckage before pulling out the four women he had known all his life, along with their bodyguards. It didnʼt take him long to realize that they all had passed away due to the explosions.

While studying them, Alexa ran up to him and nearly broke down but remembered his words. Archer stood up and barked an order, ”Gather the four women here while putting the injured over there,” he pointed at the nearby grass.

The surviving guards did as he said, and three minutes later, there were close to thirty dead people. Archer rubbed his hands together as he thought, ʼIm a Demi-God, letʼs put my power to use and stop messing around.ʼ

He was about to cast Mana Manipulation to engulf the bodies when Tiamatʼs voice sounded in his mind, ʼIt wonʼt work my love. You must create a spell that will help you.ʼ

When hearing this, Archer stopped before activating Spell Creation and created something called Dragonʼs Revival, which would use his immense amount of mana to bring back recently deceased people.

While doing this, he looked at the bodies with his dragon sense and noticed the odd-looking mana seeping out of them. The scene before him left him momentarily confused, but the sound of a completed spell snapped his focus back.

He pushed the distraction aside without hesitation and prepared for whatever was coming next. Archer activated and felt most of his mana leaving his body, causing him to drop to one knee while panting. *** ʼPlease help them, Arch,ʼ Alexa thought intently, watching the scene unfold.

She panicked when Archer dropped to one knee, and a violet cloud appeared above him, causing her to think, ʼIs this mana? It makes me feel weird. Itʼs like electricity is in the air.ʼ

Alexa shook her head as he raised his hand and pointed toward the bodies of her mother and sisters, who looked at peace, but soon enough, glowing violet orbs started to be created above each of the dead. ʼAmazing, magic is special. I do hope I can use it,ʼ she pondered while watching her childhood love do something straight out of an anime.

While this unfolded, Alexa noticed a sudden shift in the air behind Archer. A mysterious door materialized, and through it stepped three stunning women. She immediately recognized Nyx and called out to her. ʼWow, he does have some beautiful fiances.ʼ

However, she didnʼt fail to notice the serious-looking orange-haired woman with grey piercing eyes, nor the elegant brown-skinned woman who appeared of Indian descent. Nyx approached Alexa with a concerned expression and asked, ”What happened here, Lex?”

She explained everything that had happened in the last few minutes, causing the orange- haired woman to speak, ”And he thinks he can bring them back? Not even the strongest Demi-Gods can do that.”ʼ

The Indian woman nodded in agreement, but Nyx rebuked them, ”You two know nothing. Our husband will become a god among gods. He will sit at the top of the pantheon; mark my words, ladies.”

After speaking, a boom echoed, causing all the women to glance at Archer as Nancy and Grace appeared with pale faces. Soon, that would change to disbelief, amazement, and shock as the glowing orbs dropped into the body.

Archer let out a groan, which caused some of them to run toward him, but he raised a hand and spoke with gritted teeth, ”Donʼt come close. It will mess it up.”ʼ

Following that, the dragon woman introduced her to the other two, ”This is Alexa Davis, Archerʼs first love and our new sister, it seems.”

She went red when hearing that, but Nyx continued, ”The serious-looking woman is Maeve Avaloch, Archerʼs warrior princess, and this fine tiger is Ashoka Ganesha, our husbandʼs rebel empress.”

Alexaʼs eyes widened as Ashoka removed her disguise. A pair of tiger ears appeared on the top of her head, and a swaying tail appeared. She was shocked and muttered, ”A tiger woman.ʼ

Nyx giggled as Ashoka stepped forward, her warm hand extended in greeting. With a soft smile and an Indian accent, she said, ”Itʼs nice to meet you, Alexa. I hope we can become friends-we do seem to be about the same age.”

She looked at the tiger woman and took her hand with a friendly smile as Alexa replied, ”Likewise, Ashoka, and Iʼm twenty-eight this year; what about you?” ”Turning thirty-one in a few months,” she answered.

Following that, a boom was heard, which caused all of them to glance at Archer as the violet orbs grew in size and power. Sweat poured off his head, causing her to become worried, ʼWhy is it taking so much from him?ʼ ”Heʼs bringing back the dead? How strong has husband got since becoming a Demi-God?” Maeve asked in a baffled voice.

Nyx looked at the other two and started explaining, ”Archer is a White Dragon, which everyone seems to forget. They are the strongest of our race and can do many things, including bringing back recently deceased people.” ”Why hasnʼt he done it before?” Ashoka asked.

The Chaos Dragon shrugged before guessing, ”I think it has something to do with the four women and his history with them.”

Alexa felt a wave of nerves as the three women turned their attention to her. Sensing her unease, Maeve offered a reassuring smile. ”Thereʼs nothing to worry about. Youʼre one of us now.”

She nodded, comforted by Maeveʼs words, before opening up. ”Arch has always had a soft spot for mom and my eldest sister, Abby. I know they both adored him, too. When he was killed all those years ago... it broke them.”ʼ ”That makes sense,” Nyx said with a confident smile. ”Now, watch as he brings back the dead.”

Nancy gasped, disbelief flooding her voice. ”Bring them back to life? Thatʼs impossible!” Beside her, Grace broke into sobs, overcome with emotion.

Alexa noticed Nyxʼs mismatched eyes lock onto her sisters. With an enigmatic look, the dragon woman responded, ”Watch closely. Youʼre witnessing the rise of a future god. Archer is no longer the man you once knew.”

At that moment, another powerful boom echoed as Archer gently lowered the glowing orbs into the lifeless bodies. The energy pulsed through them, illuminating the area in a divine light.

The awe on the womenʼs faces was unmistakable, their breath catching in their throats. Maeve covered her mouth in shock, whispering in disbelief, ”Soul Resurrection... Itʼs only spoken of in legends, a tale for children. Yet, here it is, right before our eyes.” ***

Pour every bit of mana into the four orbs above the Davis women, Archer commanded himself, focusing intensely.

With a graceful wave of his hands, the violet orbs descended, merging into the lifeless bodies below. As they made contact, they drained nearly all of his mana, leaving him with just a sliver of power.

The fusion was instantaneous-his mana intertwined with their forms, mending every wound in seconds. Then, he saw them-four lingering souls hovering near their former vessels as if they were about to leave.

Without hesitation, Archer reached out, grasping each one. He then guided each soul into its rightful body, instinctively knowing which belonged where. This took its toll on his body as he had never done anything like this.

After ten tense minutes, Archer checked on the four women and saw their chests rising and falling-breathing again. Relief washed over him, but then his vision dimmed, and the world began to spin.

Just as he struggled to stay upright, a pair of weak arms gently wrapped around his shoulders. Alexaʼs voice whispered in his ear, ”Thank you for saving my family, Arch.”

Before he could respond, the world suddenly froze, time seemingly grinding to a halt. Confused, Archer glanced around, searching for an answer. Thatʼs when he noticed her-a woman standing just a few feet away, an amused smile playing on her lips as she watched him with a curious gaze.

She had long white hair, pale white skin, and deep black eyes, giving him the distinct feeling of death. Archer stood up and shook his head, feeling the womanʼs mana go haywire as his head stopped spinning.
