A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1331 1331: Be My Guest

Archerʼs lips curved into a smile as he felt Aeris drawing on his mana, the energy streaming into her like a river. Her form began to shimmer and turn misty, her edges blurring with the influx of power.

Overwhelmed by the surge, she paused, her chest heaving with a deep, ragged breath. ʼʼYour mana is delicious,ʼʼ she commented with a giggle.

His head tilted to the side while questioning. ʼʼDonʼt Wraiths feed on it?ʼʼ

The young woman went bright red before nodding. ʼʼYes, when I absorb yours it feels amazing and I can feel my mana pool expanding,ʼʼ she said.

Archer chuckled while gathering up the last of the Bloodvines and landed on a small outcropping. He got comfortable and tipped his head to the side. ʼʼTake more beautiful. I never run out.ʼʼ

When Aeris heard this, her body trembled as sharp teeth appeared and her eyes turned completely red. He watched her power surge forth as she turned into a humanoid Wratih as she bit into his chest.

ʼʼThank you for accepting the real me,ʼʼ her voice echoed.

Archer slumped down while feeling his mana being absorbed by the young woman as even more poured into him. An hour later, she returned to her usual cheerful self, she shook her head.

ʼʼThat was something else my love,ʼʼ Aeris commented with a big smile. ʼʼMy body feels weird.ʼʼ

ʼʼNo wonder, do you know how much of my mana you took?ʼʼ he replied while taking off to look for the second ingredient.

While flying, Aeris asked while hugging him tightly. ʼʼWhere are we going now?ʼʼ

ʼʼThereʼs a place deep in the Placidia jugnel where several stars have crashed on Thrylos,ʼʼ he said before diving under the canopy.

Archer dodged all the trees before continuing. ʼʼThe Starfall Lily grows around these craters and thatʼs what Morena needs.ʼʼ

Following that, the two of them spoke while searching for the crash sites, and after hours of searching, Aeris spotted a glow in the distance. ʼʼLook over there, Arch!ʼʼ she exclaimed while pointing.

Archerʼs head jerked toward a faint blue glow flickering in the distance, drawing him in. With a powerful beat of his wings, he soared toward it, only to discover a surreal scene: several craters pulsed with light, their edges brimming with hundreds of vibrant flowers.

ʼʼThis place is beautiful,ʼʼ he commented while landing. ʼʼLet me gather them then Iʼll open a portal back to your place. I know your grandmother will be expecting you.ʼʼ

The young woman beamed as she suddenly hugged him. ʼʼThank you for being so understanding,ʼʼ she said sweetly.

Afterward, Archer went around collecting the Starfall Lilies while Aeris collected the rare metals buried in the craters. She found several the size of a house causing him to store them away in the Item Box.

An hour later, the duo were sitting on the edge of one crater. He handed her a hotdog, which confused the Wraith woman, but he explained. ʼʼItʼs food from another world, try it and tell me what you think.ʼʼ

When hearing his words, Aeris began to eat, her eyes widening in surprise at the first bite. She quickly devoured the rest, savoring it with eager delight. Archer smiled warmly before digging into his meal.

Once theyʼd finished, the two exchanged goodbyes, parting ways as she headed off for her training. He was left alone in the middle of the lost continent of Placidia, making him to send a message to Talila to ask Inara to join.

Moments later, he opened a Gate when getting the silver-haired reply and the mature lioness stepped through the violet portal. Her red eyes scanned their surroundings before a big smile appeared.

ʼʼThis place is primal handsome,ʼʼ she said while approaching him and wrapping her arms around his shoulders. ʼʼItʼs good to see you, I was surprised when Tali told me you wanted to see me.ʼʼ

Archer didnʼt reply and leaned forward to steal her soft lips in a passionate kiss which she happily reciprocated. Inara pushed herself up against him, this forced her big boobs to squash against his chest.

The two of them carried on in this tender dance of moments until they finally broke apart, and the older woman turned, her smile stole the breath from his chest and made his heart stumble.

ʼʼThank you,ʼʼ she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion, ʼʼFor not caging me like so many husbands would, like my last one did, chaining me to his will. Youʼve set me free in a way no one ever has, which surprised me considering youʼre a dragon and a possessive one at that.ʼʼ

ʼʼI will stand by your side forever,ʼʼ she suddenly vowed, ʼʼNever wavering, never straying. When your time comes, Iʼll follow you into the next life without hesitation.ʼʼ

He chuckled before reaching up and stroking Inaraʼs fluffy ear which made the older woman tremble with delight. ʼʼArghhh~~.ʼʼ

ʼʼWeʼre not dying my lioness,ʼʼ he revealed with a big smile. ʼʼThanks to having so much sex with me the girls will live for thousands of years as most of them have turned into dragons or primordials.ʼʼ

When the grey-haired beauty heard this, her eyes widened in shock. ʼʼDid Nala unlock her Primal form?ʼʼ

Archer nodded. ʼʼYes, a while back now and she uses it to hunt bigger monsters. Itʼs something she loves to do,ʼʼ he explained.

Following that, he scooped her into a princess carry before speaking. ʼʼI have to find a clearing with Blue Grass in, itʼs one of the things Morena needs and I would love to spend more time together.ʼʼ

The older woman beamed and nodded in agreement as he took off while flying under the green canopy. Archer sensed so many monsters that he summoned an army of Shadow Creatures.

He ordered the horde to capture any beasts they found, prompting the wave of shadows to vanish within moments. When Inara saw this, her eyebrow rose as she questioned with a curious glint in her eyes. ʼʼWhat did you just do?ʼʼ

ʼʼFilling up the Domain with rare and exotic monsters to see what ones survive over the years,ʼʼ he replied before flying over an ancient-looking swamp, but something caught his attention.

Archer swerved to the right and spotted the roof of a house breaching the murky water, causing Inara to speak. ʼʼItʼs a village hun, look, thereʼs other buildings around this one.ʼʼ

He glanced around and noticed she was right as more homes appeared thanks to the sun breaking through the thick canopy. While hovering there, the mana signals of thousands of monsters appeared from the depths.

This made him shudder as he spotted a pair of black eyes watching them just under the surface. When Archer saw this, he used Mana Manipulation to lift the creature out of the water, which made Inara stiffen.

ʼʼWhat the fuck is that horrible thing!ʼʼ she exclaimed while tightening her hold on him.

Archerʼs eyes locked onto a colossal snake, its menacing form half-submerged in the swampʼs murky depths. Jagged horns protruded from its forehead, glinting wickedly, while dark green scales cloaked it in near-perfect camouflage against the fetid water.

Stretching at least ten meters long, the beast exuded a primal, vicious aura, its presence as formidable as the swamp itself. ʼʼThis is a Rank A Swamp Viper, they are notorious hunters in the Southlands but I was too weak to fight them when I was younger,ʼʼ he explained.

Without another word, he opened a portal to a vast swamp in the Domain before throwing the creature through it. Inara started laughing as she spoke in an amused tone. ʼʼDid you see its face? The monster looked shocked.ʼʼ

Following that, the two of them continued traveling through the swamp until sensing some unusual mana coming from the distance. Archer flew toward it and soon saw a small field of overgrown Blue Gress.

He landed in the center as several growls sounded from the surrounding underbrush. When Inara heard this, she took out her sword and readied for an attack while speaking. ʼʼCan I fight these beasts handsome?ʼʼ

Archer stood back with a smile. ʼʼBe my guest but Iʼll help if you get into any trouble,ʼʼ he replied.

As their conversation drew to a close, a pack of Troodon-like creatures emerged from the shadows, encircling them. The mature lioness tensed, her muscles coiling like a spring, ready for battle.

One of the beasts lunged toward them, its claws slashing through the air, but with a deft sidestep, she intercepted it, her blade flashing as she sliced the creature apart in a single, fluid motion.

Another beast charged from her left, but Inara spun low, her blade singing through the air. The strike severed its legs in one clean sweep, sending it crashing into the muck with a howl that was abruptly silenced as she drove her sword through its skull.

A third monster leapt from the shadows, jaws wide, but she met it mid-air, twisting her body with impossible agility to cleave it from jaw to tail, its bisected form thudding wetly to the ground.
