A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1270: I Didn’t Need It, But Thank You

Archer was standing by the window while watching the desert as Halime was sleeping and Llyniel was busy working with the stuff they found in the cave, which amused him as she looked cute while focusing.

ʼIʼll see her tomorrow, but I should go see if there are any more monsters to capture for the army,ʼ he mused.

With that thought, he sent a wave of mana across the Death Sands and sensed dozens of powerful creatures lurking below the surface, but none caught his eye. He sighed before noticing the wood elf had finished her work.

ʼLetʼs return them to the Domain before heading back to Avidia,ʼ he thought before approaching the brunette.

Llyniel looked up with a big smile as she asked in a sweet voice with sounded like a soft bell to his ears, ʼʼCan I head back to my lab, please? I want to study some of the new findings more in-depth. They might be useful in creating better stuff for the kingdom.ʼʼ

Archer chuckled when hearing this and summoned Halime into his arms who were sleeping peacefully before the three returned to his realm. When the wood elf saw the satisfied snake woman, she looked at him with her big brown eyes.

ʼʼShould I expect a visit from you soon, my love?ʼʼ she asked with a hopeful voice.

ʼʼYes. Iʼm going to check on the others and be back once Iʼm done with that,ʼʼ he answered, which made Llyniel smile.

Following that, he teleported to Halimeʼs room and made sure she was comfortable and the elf was happily working in the lab he created for her in the deep woods. Once that was all done, he returned to Teuilaʼs and Seraʼs camp, where the two women were debating over something in their tent.

Archer chuckled before speaking, which made them jump. ʼʼHello, ladies. What are you arguing over? I hope itʼs nothing serious. I wouldnʼt want to punish you both, or would I?ʼʼ he looked at the two with glowing violet eyes.

The redhead practically jumped out of her skin with a startled yelp, her tail shooting straight like a board. After a moment of frantic blinking, she scowled at him, crossing her arms with a growl.

ʼʼIdiot,ʼʼ she muttered.

Teuila giggled at the reaction before chiming in, ʼʼWeʼre strategizing how to take down the last fortress. Itʼs heavily defended and, oh yeah, they have dragon-killing weapons—so, you know, a minor inconvenience for the gremlin here.ʼʼ

When Archer heard this, his eyebrow rose in interest as he suggested before Sera could explode, ʼʼI can give you a few thousand Void Worms who could burrow below the main walls and bring them down. That would nullify their numbersʼ advantage and throw them into chaos.ʼʼ

As the words left his lips, their eyes widened in shock, but Sera suddenly launched herself at him with glowing ruby-red eyes full of love and excitement. He quickly grabbed the dragon by her perky ass, who started peppering his face with love-filled kisses.

Teuila was giggling at the scene in front of her, but soon enough, the kissing became hot and heavy. Archer started making love to the two women who accepted everything as he got the blue-haired beauty involved, causing them to enjoy his company.

Once they were finished, he cast Cleanse on them all just as Teuila leaned up with a hazy expression and a pleased smile, ʼʼWeʼll rest but will use your plan to take the west once I feel better,ʼʼ she said in a groggy voice.

After ensuring they would be fine, Archer kissed them gently before stepping back. With a flicker of mana, he teleported away, reappearing at a fortified outpost on the border of a dark, eerie swamp.

The moment he arrived, his gaze swept over the familiar sight of Talila and Elara standing nearby. As soon as the silver-haired elf laid eyes on him, her face lit up with pure joy, her emerald eyes shimmering with excitement.

ʼʼEvening husband, what brings you here? Itʼs not that Iʼm complaining, just surprised,ʼʼ she asked in a soft voice.

ʼʼItʼs good to see you, Tali,ʼʼ he said, stepping closer before capturing her lips in a deep, passionate kiss. As they parted, his gaze softened. ʼʼI thought Iʼd stop by to check on you and Lara, but I also missed you both.ʼʼ

Talila beamed and wrapped her arms around Archer, holding him close. Just as she did, a dragonkin woman strode into the tent, speaking without noticing his presence at first. ʼʼTal, the guards are reporting sightings of strange monsters lurking in the swamp. Do you want to go check it out?ʼʼ

Elara stopped mid-sentence, her sharp eyes finally locking onto him. A knowing smile spread across her lips as she chuckled. ʼʼI had a feeling youʼd be here, husband. Sorry for interrupting,ʼʼ she said, her tone warm and teasing.

Talila jumped up once she was done and stretched before speaking to the dragonkin woman. ʼʼIʼll still go, sister. I need to run for a bit to get some exercise.ʼʼ

Archer chuckled at her energy and quickly kissed the silver-haired elf as she rushed out of the tent. Once gone, he turned to Elara while asking. ʼʼHowʼs things out here in the east? Any problems?ʼʼ

The woman smiled at his question before sitting down and letting out a sigh, ʼʼBoring, there havenʼt been many enemies. The ones we found are scouts and local peasants taking up arms against us.ʼʼ

ʼʼWell, thatʼs good, then? The West was chaos. If I remember correctly, the others have been battling nonstop and are overworked,ʼʼ he said while taking out some ale and giving it to the redhead.

She accepted the drink, and the duo began sipping as Elara recounted everything they had been up to since leaving Emberport days ago. She spoke of their journey, their challenges, and the preparations of the 1st Legion, who were now readying scouts.

ʼʼBut Iʼll have to leave you here for a while, handsome,ʼʼ she said with a frown. ʼʼThe commanders want to have a meeting about the upcoming battles.ʼʼ

He smoked when hearing this and nodded in agreement. ʼʼThatʼs good. Instead of rushing into everything like Sera, at least youʼll be prepared.

Elara nodded with a big smile before leaving the tent. Archer watched her leave and when she was gone he activated Mana Manipulation, his form fading into invisibility before vanishing in an instant.

ʼLetʼs go check on Tali and these strange monsters,ʼ he mused.

Seconds later, Archer reappeared beside Talila, who was gracefully leaping through the trees carefully avoiding the monsters lurking in the murky waters below. ʼSheʼs careful,ʼ he thought with a curious expression. ʼLetʼs follow her for a while.ʼ

Following that, Archer observed her through the swamp as she searched for the enemy and soon found her prey. The brown-skinned woman shot a dozen powerful arrows at something that he couldnʼt see yet.

When Archer caught sight of the monsters Talila was fighting, his eyes widened in shock. ʼUpgraded Blightborns?!ʼ he thought, realization hitting him like a bolt of lightning.

Moments later, the creature lunged toward her with a sudden, unnatural burst of speed, causing her to jump to the side just in time. She barely had time to react, her stance shifting as she braced for the attack, surprise flashing across her face.

Archerʼs eyes narrowed as more creatures lunged at Talila from all sides, their sheer numbers threatening to overwhelm her. Without hesitation, he vanished in a flash, reappearing between her and the oncoming Blightborns.

He unleashed a Mana Blast, the raw mana exploding outward in a brilliant surge of pure power. The shockwave tore through the creatures, ripping them apart in an instant. After they were all dead, Talilaʼs voice reached his ears.

ʼʼWhat are you doing here, handsome?ʼʼ she asked with wide eyes.

As the dust settled, Archer turned to her with a smirk. ʼʼYou looked like you could use a hand.ʼʼ

She let out a small huff before responding, but he didnʼt miss the radiant smile that followed. ʼʼI didnʼt need it, but thank you.ʼʼ

Noticing her reaction, he stepped closer and wrapped the elf in a warm embrace. Talila melted into his arms, savoring the moment before he gently pulled away. ʼʼIʼll leave you be now. I just wanted to make sure you were safe.ʼʼ

Following that, she suddenly gave him a big kiss and cuddle, which caught him off guard. ʼʼI love you Archer Wyldheart.ʼʼ

Hearing her words, his smile deepened with warmth before he pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. ʼʼI love you too, Tali,ʼʼ he whispered.

The young womanʼs heart swelled, a smile lighting up her face. But before she could fully savor the moment, Archer took her left hand, his touch gentle yet steady. As he pulled out a small box, her breath caught in her throat.

Then, in the sweetest, most earnest voice, he asked, ʼʼTali, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?ʼʼ
