Chapter 709 Experience
?Archer thanked the maid before opening the Gate to his room and stepped through. When he did that, several pairs of eyes turned to him, but Leira commented with a smirk as her nose twitched, ''Hmmm, I can smell that lewd aunt all over you. Did you enjoy yourself, husband?''
He chuckled. ''Yes. It was fun, and Sia seemed happy. I don't get to visit her often, as we're always busy, so I took the chance,'' Archer replied before getting comfortable on one of the sofas.
"It does make sense, to be honest," Maeve's voice echoed as she entered the room, "He does treat you girls fairly, and if I remember correctly, there was Hecate and Sia who do their own thing. So it's only fair that he goes to see them when he gets some spare time."
Aurelia and Eveline followed closely behind, greeting everyone in the room with a smile and earning waves in return. Archer looked at the three girls who dropped their bags. The mermaid looked into his eyes as she declared, ''We are staying in the domain alongside you and the other girls.''
His smile grew when hearing her bold statement, indicating his openness to the suggestion as he replied, ''Of course, you can, but first, let's check out that dinner everyone's been talking about. Can't hurt to see what it's all about, right?"
''Yeah, let's check it out,'' Ella agreed.
Archer sprang to his feet, and as he did that, but that's when his Dragon Senses tingled with a sense of impending danger. Before he could fully process it, a mana surge swept over the ship. The chaotic energy disrupted the ship's engines, causing alarms to sound in his mind.
As that happened, he tried to cast the Gate, but it didn't work. He gulped before casting Mana Manipulation and gathered all the girls, causing them to let out shocked yelps. Archer set them down around him before looking at Kassandra and said, '' Come with me and transform when I tell you two.''
The Kraken Princess smiled in response before he turned to the others, ''You girls protect each other and the ship. I can't open any portals because of the wave.''
Archer watched their confused faces as they finally felt the strange mana but shook his head and cast Cosmic Shield around them as the ship started plummeting. Sensing the urgency, he nodded to Kassandra and told the girls he would meet them below.
Rushing toward the door leading outside, he smashed right through it before jumping off, with the black-haired girl jumping alongside him.
As they fell, the duo saw dozens of ships crashing into the frozen ground but spotted loads of strange-looking monsters of all shapes and sizes rushing around while some flew toward them.
Archer quickly sent Kassandra a message through the dragon tattoo, ''Transform into your Kraken form, then return to your human form when you take out those creatures.''
She nodded before whispering something he couldn't understand. Archer watched as a primal surge of energy emerged from her as she embraced her true form. Her body expanded and twisted into that of a colossal Kraken, and her transformation was a sight to behold in mid-air.
Massive tentacles erupted from nowhere, each one thicker than a tree trunk and lined with rows of razor-sharp suckers. The Kraken Princess unleashed her wrath upon the approaching horde with a deafening roar reverberating for miles around.
Her tentacles lashed out with blinding speed, whipping through the air like living whips of destruction. The creatures never stood a chance against his Kraken Princess. With each powerful strike, she sent them hurtling back, their bodies torn asunder by the sheer force of her onslaught.
The sky was filled with the sound of their cries, drowned out by the Kraken Princess's fury. Archer watched in awe as she wielded her power with deadly precision, quickly wiping out hundreds of creatures.
Her movements were fluid and graceful yet filled with an unyielding strength that commanded respect. Together, they formed an unstoppable force, a whirlwind of destruction amidst the chaos of battle.
As the last of the creatures fell before them, Kassandra let out a triumphant roar, her victory echoing across the expanse of the sky. Another shine was seen as she returned to her human form.
Archer smiled as he summoned his wings, started swooping over the Swarm of creatures, and let out a stream of violet dragon fire, which burned them to nothingness. Just as he did that, Kassandra crashed into a giant monster, causing it to explode.
He halted his attack after clearing a path through dozens of them, taking a moment to examine their grotesque forms as he descended. Horror gripped him as he observed their twisted bodies, a monstrous amalgamation of beast and man, bearing the unmistakable signs of experimentation.
Kassandra came up behind him as the mana ships started to crash around them, shaking the ground. Archer looked around and realized they were nowhere, and help wasn't coming as they were too far from the Avalon border.
'I could use the First Legion, they would gain even more experience when fighting different enemies. It would help them fight the Swarm when its time,' Archer internally decided.
Exhaling heavily, he attempted to conjure a portal once more, and to his relief, it materialized. Realizing this, he wasted no time in summoning his Dragon Marshals. "Elara! Rally the First Legion. I require your assistance," he called out urgently.
Kassandra watched as she heard a loud horn, and just as the mutated monsters regrouped and started charging toward the downed ships, they were distracted by even more horns that sounded.
Archer watched as Dragon Legionnaires marched out of the portal dressed in menacing black armor. When the commanders saw the monsters, they quickly barked orders and made the soldiers form into squares.
'Impressive. I'm glad they started training years ago,' he thought.
Shortly after, Elara and Lucian appeared from the portal alongside hundreds of Legionnaires and Dragonblood Knights. The two Marshals knelt before him, but Archer gave them their orders, ''Elara, surround the downed mana ships and rescue anyone you can.''
She nodded briskly before hastening away to confer with her commanders. Meanwhile, Archer turned to Lucian, "Gather your Drakelord Knights, Drakewing Outriders, and Drakeheart Riders. We need to eliminate as many monsters as possible," he instructed firmly.
Archer looked across the battlefield as the chaos unfolded. Around him, the Dragon Legionnaires and Dragonblood Knights formed a steadfast wall against the encroaching horde of hideous mutants.
The well-trained soldiers held their ground, their shields interlocking to create an impenetrable barrier against the relentless tide of claws, teeth, and mutated bodies. Each soldier was focused as they fought to hold back the creatures trying to reach the injured passengers.
Archer and Kassandra were in the middle of everything, watching his soldiers stand firm. He had to admit that General Mohamet had trained them well, and it shone through as they worked together as a cohesive unit, pushing back the monsters.
But even as they held their ground, Archer knew they couldn't last forever. The horde continued to press forward, seemingly endless in numbers, as they threatened to overwhelm the defenders and reach the injured people.
Suddenly, the sound of Lucian joining the battle filled the air as the cavalry charged into the fray. With a resounding battle cry, they crashed into the mass of monsters, their powerful mounts trampling anything in their path.
Archer's heart swelled with pride as he watched his cavalry cut through the enemy ranks with unmatched ferocity. Their charge amazed him as they smashed into the creatures and trampled them beneath their claws and hooves.
Foot soldiers and cavalry fought side by side, pushing back the horde and preventing them from overwhelming the downed mana ships. Once the battle was underway, Archer used the dragon tattoos to transport all the girls to his position.
As they appeared, Teuila held onto Maeve and Eveline while Ella held Aurelia. The girls looked like they'd be sick, which caused Archer to laugh. Everyone was wide-eyed when they calmed down as they saw the soldiers.
He smirked before introducing the army to them, ''Ladies, this is my First Legion. They beat the Novgorodians and are now helping us with this.''
That's when he spotted his Drakelord Knights, clad in menacing black armor that made them look like demons. They crushed hundreds of the hideous creatures while not stopping their charge, halting the horde's attack.
With a thunderous roar, Archer's voice rang out across the battlefield, a call to action that echoed in the hearts of his knights. "For Draconia! For victory!" he cried, his words igniting a fire within his warriors' hearts.
In a synchronized motion, the Drakelord Knights spurred their mighty mounts forward, their lances gleaming in the sunlight as they charged headlong into the horde of humanoid mutants.
The ground trembled beneath their thunderous hooves and claws as they thundered toward the enemy with unmatched ferocity. Archer watched with awe and pride as his knights crashed into the mass of mutants, their lances held aloft like deadly spears.
With swift and calculated precision, they rode down their enemies, piercing through their ranks with the force of a battering ram. The clash of steel against steel reverberated through the air as the Drakelord Knights engaged the enemy in fierce combat.
Each thrust of their lances was met with a chorus of pain-filled roars as the mutants fell beneath their relentless onslaught. But they were soon joined by the powerful people on board the mana ships.
Archer witnessed a large violet ball of magic appear from the mana ship he was on. The ball washed over the creatures, burning them instantly, as the Magic Knights joined the Dragon Legionnaires in defending the people.
