A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1587: Can We Go

People were staring at Archer as people were healed, cars were repaired, and the ranger shack was returned to normal. Cece, Sasha, and Belle stepped out only for him to catch someoneʼs fist, aimed at the blonde. He let out a growl. ʼʼWhat did I tell your governments? Donʼt come after anyone I care about.ʼʼ

Without mercy, he snapped the enemyʼs wrist before tossing her to the side like a ragdoll, only to see Scarlet arguing with two men, and one struck her, dropping the older woman to the ground, causing him to vanish, materializing in front of the human as two strange noises echoed out.

Archerʼs claws pierced their chests, and he pulled out their hearts before crushing them with an enraged expression. He ate both menʼs souls, learning what country they came from, only to be pissed off when it was another European one, prompting him to summon an army of Mana Birds that covered the lake and car park.

This caught everyoneʼs attention; they looked up and went wide-eyed when seeing the glowing creatures. He sent them toward the attackerʼs homeland while sensing even more assassins heading in their direction. Archer created a shield around every innocent person, protecting them from any attacks.

The men and women moved on him as one young-looking girl appeared in front, driving a knife toward his heart, but when the tip touched it shattered thanks to his scales. His smile grew wide, grabbing the strangerʼs head and throwing her at another charging man, sending him crashing to the ground.

Archer continued fighting the assassins that were no match for him, being a dragon and them humans, it was already a losing battle. By the time the last one died, his Mana Birds rained down on the country that tried to kill Belle. Their cities went up in flames, buildings crumbled, and roads were ruined.

No one at the park realized what happened until the news alerts pinged on their phones, showing a video of a helicopter filming the Mana Bird hordes destroying the land with ease, shocking everyone. Moments later, Cece suddenly hugged him as she whispered. ʼʼThank you for helping everyone, babe.ʼʼ

ʼʼNo problem,ʼʼ he answered, smiling at the worried young woman. ʼʼI knew this would happen eventually, but not this quickly.ʼʼ

ʼʼAre you really destroying that place?ʼʼ Bella questioned from behind.

Archer turned to the platinum blonde, revealing. ʼʼYes, itʼs the only way the world will learn to leave me alone. If it continues, Iʼll bring an army of monsters to conquer them. Iʼm sure the normal people will love to live under my rule.ʼʼ

After that, he shook his head and laughed, speaking once again. ʼʼWould you three like to explore my world or go to any country on Earth?ʼʼ

ʼʼCan we go to the UK?ʼʼ Sasha asked. ʼʼWe havenʼt been there since we were two years old.ʼʼ

ʼʼAlright,ʼʼ he nodded. ʼʼSay your goodbyes and Iʼll teleport us there when youʼre done.ʼʼ

Archer observed as they chatted with their friends, who occasionally glanced his way with mixed expressions. Their looks didnʼt faze him; his focus was solely on the three young women. As their conversation wrapped up, the car park began to empty. Amid the bustle, he noticed Scarlet sitting on the ground, her face etched pale.

He approached the older woman and spoke. ʼʼSorry about that, it looks like the humans havenʼt learn, but Iʼm sure they will now though.ʼʼ

The redhead slowly turned to him, her green eyes dim. ʼʼThanks for helping me. I may have to go hospital, my jaw is killing me.ʼʼ

Archer knelt next to the park ranger, gently cradling her cheek as he channeled a stream of mana into her. Scarletʼs initial panic melted away as the pain subsided, replaced by a soothing warmth. Stunned, she murmured. ʼʼWhat is this? It feels incredible.ʼʼ

ʼʼIʼm healing you,ʼʼ he replied, giving her a charming smile. ʼʼBut not just todayʼs injured, everything inside you. Even the cancer that was eating at your brain.ʼʼ

When those words left his lips, Scarletʼs eyes widened, shocked, baffled, horrified, then settled on confusion as she replied. ʼʼWhat do you mean?ʼʼ

ʼʼItʼs gone.ʼʼ

ʼʼHuh?ʼʼ

Archer chuckled at her adorable face. ʼʼYou were about a year away from passing away, but I wiped out the cancer like it never existed. Magic is a wonderful thing, wouldnʼt you say?ʼʼ

The older womanʼs face went bright red; she couldnʼt look at him but still managed to speak. ʼʼWould you like to come on a hike with me? I need to think and would like you there.ʼʼ

ʼʼOf course, but I need to put them three in my treehouse,ʼʼ he revealed.

Following that, Archer turned to the trio and waved them over. When they got close, he opened a portal to the Domain. ʼʼYou three can explore my treehouse, Iʼm sure youʼll love it.ʼʼ

They nodded in agreement, and Belleʼs face lit up with joy at being included. He created a portal to the entrance, and the five stepped through, leaving the bewildered crowd behind without a second thought. When it closed behind them, the group was shocked at what they saw.

The treehouse had grown over the years, adding new parts until it was a hulking behemoth being held up by an even bigger tree. Archer had to make it busy over the years to keep up with its growth. When the four women saw this, they gasped as Cece commented. ʼʼLook at this place, it belongs in a fantasy book.ʼʼ

Everyone agreed as Scarlet mumbled. ʼʼMy children would love to see this.ʼʼ

When those words left her lips, her eyes widened before gazing at him, but Archer smiled. ʼʼIʼll send you back there. No hard feelings, you were caught up in the moment.ʼʼ

The redhead let out a soft giggle, sharing the name of her destination. He brought up a portal to town. She stepped through after saying her goodbyes. As the older woman vanished, Sasha glanced over with a knowing grin. ʼʼSeems like sheʼs got someone special waiting for her.ʼʼ

ʼʼI donʼt care,ʼʼ he laughed. ʼʼIʼve got more than enough women to bother about another.ʼʼ

When he said that, Belle glanced down as Sasha added. ʼʼApart from our diner princess, looks like sheʼs caught your eye.ʼʼ

Archer nodded. ʼʼYes, she has, but letʼs see how things go,ʼʼ he said.

He guided the group into the treehouse. As the four stepped inside, the women froze, their eyes widening in astonishment. The interior was cozy, far beyond what theyʼd imagined from its exterior. Soft furniture was arranged throughout the space, a weathered table adorned with wildflowers, and shelves brimming with books and trinkets.

Warm light spilled from a mana lantern, casting a golden glow across the room, while the faint scent of cedar and lavender lingered in the air. Every corner of the treehouse radiated comfort and charm, inviting them to linger in its embrace. Cece glanced around. ʼʼThis is like heaven, babe. Could we come here more often?ʼʼ

ʼʼYes, just use the tattoos and you can enter,ʼʼ he revealed.

When the twins heard this, they got excited, while Belle looked sad, but Sasha hugged the blonde. ʼʼYouʼll get one in time, donʼt worry about it,ʼʼ she reassured.

Following that, they all sat down as he made them some tea, but the twins couldnʼt help themselves and began exploring the place. Belle approached one of the windows that overlooked the landscape. She could see for miles; all she saw was an untamed wilderness with a forest surrounding the treehouse.

ʼʼThere are trillions of monsters roaming this place,ʼʼ Archer whispered into her ear. ʼʼCreatures that crawled right out of your nightmares.ʼʼ

Belle jumped at this, making him laugh, but he stopped when he grabbed her waist, pulling her close. ʼʼIʼm messing with you, beautiful. They wonʼt come near the treehouse.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see some giant birds and lion-looking things pass by,ʼʼ she replied. ʼʼWhat were they?ʼʼ

Archer shrugged. ʼʼI honestly donʼt know. There are so many, even I lost track of whatʼs in here, but they know not to mess with me,ʼʼ he informed. ʼʼIʼd destroy them before sending their bodies back to the real world to rot.ʼʼ

ʼʼGood because I worry about going outside,ʼʼ the young woman said. ʼʼI donʼt want to be attacked by a big bad dragon.ʼʼ

He leaned in and whispered into her ear, making Belle shiver. ʼʼDo you want to be attacked?ʼʼ

ʼʼMaybe after Iʼve spent some time watching the monster,ʼʼ she said, smiling. ʼʼIʼm not an easy princess to get into bed, you playboy.ʼʼ

Archer chuckled, kissing her on the cheek before going back to the boiling kettle as a whistle echoed out. Belle followed behind, asking. ʼʼIs that okay with you, Arch?ʼʼ

ʼʼOf course, will you be around the twins a lot?ʼʼ

ʼʼYes, I like them and they brought me into their friend group.ʼʼ

Just then, Sasha appeared in the kitchen, an amazed expression on her pretty face. ʼʼThis place is something else, babe, there are so many rooms, but the doors were locked.ʼʼ
