A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1034: I Love Flying

Archer smiled at Ellie before answering her question, ”Normally, the Swarm has a base deep underground where they teleport in their monsters from other realms.”

”So thereʼs a world under the surface? I thought that was a conspiracy theory?” she answered while glancing around at the dark and gloomy tunnel.

”You see, Earth has many secrets; if I read the mana correctly, there used to be other races, but they died out in another era,” Archer revealed. ”There are many things historians and scholars donʼt know about this world.”

Ellie looked curious and asked, ”How do you know about this? Youʼve not even been here for a week.”

Archer chuckled softly before revealing one of his secrets. ”When I consumed the souls of the Terravians, it revealed a lot to me. Theyʼve been here for years, long before I died. Theyʼre waiting, biding their time to strike.”

He paused, his eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief. ”But Iʼve already thrown a wrench in their plans.”

Ellie smiled when hearing this before the two continued walking. Crown of Stars activated nonstop, and the Blightborns and Ratlings tried ambushing him. Archer wiped out hundreds of monsters while speaking to the brunette.

Following that, the duo came to a large cavern, where they were met by a horde of horrifying monsters charging in their direction. This made the brunette freeze in place, but Archer reassured her with a calming smile, ”Donʼt worry about them. They wonʼt be able to hurt you.”

Soon, he stepped forward, taking a deep breath and letting out a stream of dragonʼs flame that washed over the horde of monsters and burned them to ash. The frontline buckled due to the heat.

Archer was happy with the results before ordering the Shadow Creatures to kill the remaining as the experience poured into his body. While standing there, Ellie commented in a worried voice, ”Will there be any more of those creepy monsters?”

”Yes, and now that they know Iʼm here, more will come,” he replied, a thrill sparking in his smile. ”But thatʼs the whole plan. The more I take down now, the weaker theyʼll be when they finally strike Earth. By then, the governments will stand a better chance.”

Ellie smiled when she heard this, and the two continued until Archer spotted a Terravian Fortress in the distance. While looking around, Ashoka sent him a message that Blightborns had started attacking them seconds ago.

The tiger woman said some men with guns appeared and started helping them kill the creatures. He got paranoid, but she reassured him that they seemed friendly and if not, she would kill them.

This made him laugh before he felt a trembling shaking the ground. Archer looked in the culpritʼs direction and noticed a Mutated Giant charging. He turned to Ellie and smiled, ”Stay here and watch this.”

She nodded in agreement as Archer shot forward like a bullet. When he got close to the Giant, he used Eldritch Blast to bring it to the ground, allowing him to spam it with Plasma Missiles, causing its skin to char and fall off, thanks to the power behind the spells.

Spotting more Giants in the distance, Archer couldnʼt resist the urge to impress Ellie. With a grin, he launched into the air, fists crackling with volatile mana. His first punch connected with a thunderous explosion, the force of the impact shaking the entire cavern.

The Giant was sent hurtling into the others like a battering ram. Fueled by his Demi-God strength, Archer let loose a primal, earth-shattering roar that echoed through the chamber and stunned the attackers.

In a frenzy, he tore through the horde of monsters, their bodies crumbling under his relentless assault. But as the dust settled, the ground quaked beneath the heavy footsteps of their leader an enormous brute wielding a colossal hammer.

When Archer saw the newcomer, his smile grew manic before he used Mana Manipulation to shoot himself at the leader. As he got close, the Giant went to attack, but he dodged in and landed a punch on the monsterʼs chin.

A thunderous boom echoed through the cavern, hurling the nearby Blightborn into the walls with sheer force. Archerʼs pulse quickened, exhilaration surging as he met the Giant Leader head-on, its massive hammer crashing toward him.

He Blinked out of harmʼs way just as the Giantʼs hammer smashed into the ground, shaking the cavern like an earthquake. He reappeared above the beast, delivering a hammer punch that sent the Giant crashing into the earth.

A cloud of dust erupted around them and obscured everything. Without hesitation, Archer relentlessly attacked, giving the monster no time to recover. His final blow shattered its skull, ending the battle in a brutal instant.

ʼNow youʼre dead, and Iʼve stopped whatever plan the Swarm had,ʼ Archer chuckled while thinking. He stood amidst the settling dust, savoring the rush of triumph after slaying one of the Swarmʼs most powerful beasts. The surge of experience coursed through him. Ellieʼs soft voice broke through as he basked in the moment, her gentle concern reaching him.

”Brother? Are you okay?” she asked.

Archer turned toward her, the sight of the brunette drawing a smirk to his lips. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before her, catching her off guard as he kissed her. Ellie froze for a moment, startled by his boldness.

She soon melted into the embrace, returning the kiss as she wrapped her arms around him. Minutes later, the two separated. A smile appeared on Ellieʼs face, and she spoke confusedly, ”Why did you just do that?”

”Because I wanted to,” Archer replied. ”But letʼs continue toward their fortress to destroy it and return to the others.”

Afterward, they continued through the cavern, encountering no more monsters. As they walked, Ellie asked Archer questions about the battle, eager to understand how he had managed such incredible feats.

When he explained everything, she listened intently, her brown eyes sparkling with excitement. She was utterly fascinated by it all, and by the time the duo reached the Swarms fortress.

Archer smiled when he saw this and cast a powerful Azur Cannon that sliced through the air and smashed into its gate. An explosion tore it apart, but he wasnʼt done; he started casting Plasma Missiles in huge numbers.

A violet glow lit up the cavern while Archer was soaring through the air. The glow peppered the fortress, causing destruction. He continued doing this for ten minutes, causing their

protection to collapse.

Following that, he told Ellie to wait while he went to kill the survivors and eat some of the Terrvianʼs souls. Once the slaughter was over, they returned to the tunnel that led to the

surface.

Archer summoned his wings before scooping the brunette into a princess carry, and then he started taking off. They ascended up the mountain, and the sun could be seen, causing Elle to comment, ”I love flying; itʼs so cool.”

He laughed at her happy reaction, as she loved seeing the smile on her face. When they arrived at the surface, they only saw Ashoka, Maeve, and Nyx sitting around drinking tea while people dressed in black transported the monster corpses into the back of vans.

ʼIs this Avaʼs people?ʼ Archer wondered as he landed near the three women.

As his feet touched the ground, he gently set Ellie down, then dismissed the Cosmic Shield surrounding the brunette, who started gossiping with the others. Nyx was the first to appear and gave him a passionate kiss.

That was followed by Maeve and Ashokaʼs greeting before Archer opened a Gate back to his motherʼs house. When the violet portal appeared, the group stepped through and appeared in

a dark garden.

Ellie offered the three some coffee, and they agreed, except Nyx, who joined him in the garden. Archer sat on one of the comfortable chairs and looked at the night sky; the Milky Way

shone bright.

Nyx curled up next to him, and as he pulled her closer, the two soon fell asleep. The night passed in silent peace. Archer was relaxed, and the dragon woman kept him company by

letting out adorable snores.

The following morning, he woke up to Michelle standing over him with two cups. She spoke with a warm smile, ”You shouldnʼt sleep out here, Arch. The weather could take a turn for the

worse.”

Archer chuckled while sitting up and taking the cup. He took a sip and realized it was tea, causing him to look at the older woman, ”It still tastes the same.”ʼ

Michelle beamed as she questioned, ”When was the last time we drank it together?”

Hearing her words, Archer was reminded of a winter night just a few weeks ago. They had sat

in the garden, watching the snow fall, as she spoke about him and Alexa. A smile tugged at his lips as the memory surfaced.

”You were giving me advice about asking Lex out before our date,” he replied, causing her blue eyes to widen.

The older woman nodded, a knowing look in her eyes, before motioning for him to follow. Curious about what she wanted, Archer hesitated briefly but followed her without question. [Drop some powerstones, comments, and gifts to help the novel grow; I appreciate all the support you can give]
