Archer cast the spell Azur Comet, directing it toward the military district. Unbeknownst to the soldiers, impending doom loomed over them.
In an instant, he unleashed the torrential force. The violet sphere hurtled downward with blinding speed, a comet brought to life by his command and the heavens.
The impact proved catastrophic. The area burst into a blinding flash of light, shockwaves rippling outward.
Buildings crumbled, defenses shattered, and soldiers were thrown around like ragdolls by the force of the explosion.
The blast's fury scorched the air, leaving chaos and devastation in its wake.
As the smoke and debris settled, the once-mighty Delphosia military district lay in ruins, his gaze remained fixed on the aftermath.
Nodding, he shifted his focus to the horrified family witnessing the scene. Afterward, he walked back into the palace, disregarding their presence.
Inside once more, his eyes landed upon a heap of treasures. Delphosian guards were dragging a frail, battered man.
Without hesitation, he intervened, pushing the guards aside. His actions spurred the Stone Men into action, quickly neutralizing the guards.
Studying the man closely, he could see the marks of years in captivity. However, this didn't deter him from attempting to use his new healing spell.
Gently placing his hand on Leonidas's forehead, he cast Aurora Healing. A soft radiance emanated from his hands, enveloping his body.
As the magic took effect, he watched in amazement as Leonidas' wounds began to mend. Cuts and bruises gradually faded away, leaving smooth, unblemished skin.
But more than wounds were changing. Archer's eyes widened as the man's pale skin underwent a gradual transformation.
It seemed like a warm sunbeam had touched him, giving his skin a rich, brown color, similar to Hemera's.
A sense of accomplishment and relief washed over him as he continued casting Aurora Healing.
When the spell subsided, Leonidas stirred, his eyelids fluttering open. Weak at first, his gaze gained strength as he looked up at Archer. ''Who are you?''
His gaze rested on the sun elf, a figure marked by hardship. Yet, his smile was warm. "I'm your future brother-in-law. In a couple of years, I'll be marrying Hemera."
The older man's eyes widened, but he had no time to respond as soldiers stormed into the hall.
Archer grinned and quickly cast Gate. As it opened, Teuila walked through it, making her way over to him.
She grabbed hold of Leonidas and guided the older elf to safety within the domain.
With him secure, Archer scanned the area, a smile playing on his lips. However, his moment of relief was brief, for he soon caught the sound of approaching footsteps.
Stone Men rushed into the hall, hitting the soldiers hard. They were thrown into walls and crashed to the floor.
They encircled him protectively, arranging treasure chests at the center. The sheer quantity amazed Archer, sparking excitement within him.
Despite the temptation that stirred his inner dragon, he shook his head and focused on the task at hand—storing the treasure in his Item Box.
With that done, he dismissed the Stone Men. Anticipating the soldiers' charge, he swiftly uttered 'Draco.
A bright light filled the hall, blinding everyone briefly as he transformed into a dragon, causing chaos in the palace.
In the midst of the turmoil, the guards around him were swiftly defeated as he emerged from the now-ruined palace.
From the palace roof, he released an earth-shattering roar that reverberated over Mediterra.
Then, he spread his wings, soared into the sky, and commenced attacking the Republic's many castles and forts.
He incinerated any enemy armies he spotted with his violet flames and persisted in this assault for days.
Archer didn't return to his domain and remained out of contact with the girls. He was consumed by his dragon instincts, lost in them until he found himself flying over the inland sea.
While flying high over the western region's inland sea, Archer was suddenly attacked by a deep-sea beast. The creature's assault sent him crashing forcefully into a nearby mountain.
The intense impact left Archer unconscious, his body partially covered by debris from the collision as parts of the mountain crumbled around him.
[The girl's POV]
The girls were filled with worry for Archer, continuously attempting to open portals to reach him. Yet, he blocked their every attempt to join him.
Teuila persisted and managed to open a portal, prompting all seven of them, including Talila, to leap through. They came to a sudden halt upon seeing him.
Archer now stood twice his usual size. Though the girls were puzzled, they merely shrugged, accustomed to the inexplicable occurrences that often surrounded him.
Seeing him unconscious, they wondered how something so large could be knocked out.
Teuila's frustration mounted as she couldn't assist him. With resolve, she walked up and punched his head, only hurting her hand in the process.
Her cry had an impact as Archer's eye opened slightly, catching a glimpse of her. That's when a white light shined over her.
She felt her hand healing and looked up to see his massive eye staring at her, but all she saw was love and nothing else.
[Back to Archer]
Archer raised his head and saw the other girls but shook his head, he realized that he was taller and much bigger.
He decided to check his status when his back in the domain, Archer returned to his humanoid and was jumped by the group of girls.
They each kissed him apart from Talila who stood to the side just watching, each girl told him off but was happy to see him.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm After the greetings and telling off, he went on to explain that his dragon instincts sort of took over but he could remember everything.
He didn't allow them to use the portals because he was flying most of the time which they accepted after he informed them.
Archer felt his body ache and yearned to lie down. He opened a portal and stepped through, with everyone following suit.
Upon entering the treehouse, he instantly collapsed onto the sofa, while the girls took their seats and started talking among themselves.
Hours past as he nodded off, but he soon woke up when he heard footsteps approaching. He opened his eyes to see Talila.
Taking a seat, she expressed her gratitude. "Thank you for aiding my family, Archer. You sought vengeance on our behalf."
Archer smiled at the elf. "I gained something too - a lot of treasure. Those castles had more than I thought. Safeguarding it is important, and I'm the best for the job."
Talila laughed upon hearing him and said, "Keep convincing yourself, boy. I know you were looking forward to that date."
"When do I get my date?" Archer asked as he looked at her.
She grinned and answered, "Once we're back in the empire. We'll both have time for it."
Archer narrowed his eyes but shrugged, "Okay, Tali. For now, I need to rest. My body is still hurting."
As Talila smiled and got up, she added one last thing before walking away, "Oh, Auntie Hemera wants to see you."
He groaned and sat up, conjuring a Gate to the library. Archer stepped through and found Hemera engrossed in conversation over a book.
She smiled at his arrival; the sun elf stood and approached him, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Arch, Father and Mother wish to see you whenever you're ready."
Archer nodded, replying, "We'll visit them tomorrow. I'm still in pain and need some sleep."
She nodded and smiled before he exited the library. He made his way to the balcony and settled onto one of the chairs outdoors.
Before drifting off to sleep, he took a moment to check his status.
'Status.'
[Experience: 13200/20000]
[Level Up: 310>332]
[Sp: 0>44]
[Mana: 38000>40000]
[Void Blaze: 4>5]
[Flashpoint: 0>1]
[Soul Sunder: 0>1]
[Dragon Form: 2>4]
[Anti-Magic: 1>2]
Archer grinned as he checked his level and calculated the experience gained from his relentless kills: 450,000.
To his surprise, his dragon form had leveled up twice from the rampage. Shrugging, Archer lay down and soon fell asleep.
Later on, the girls found him on the balcony and put a blanket over him before heading to bed themselves.
However, sometime later, Sera stealthily made her way and perched on top of him.
She playfully nibbled his ears, prompting a smile to light up his face as he recognized her presence.
Archer saw her on top of him as she moved down to his neck and felt her teeth pierce his skin.
He grabbed hold of her perky ass, causing her to pause her biting for a moment, but soon resumed, and started to wiggle her hips on him.
This aroused him, yet he knew he needed rest. He whispered to Sera to wait a couple of days until they could make love due to his body still hurting.
Sera nodded, stopping her biting and starting to kiss him as he ran his fingers up and down her smooth back, savoring the moment.
Before long, the two dragons drifted into slumber. Archer held Sera close, and she clung to him just like she used to when she was a fairy dragon.
