A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 625 Headmistress

Archer smiled when hearing the woman answer. ''Why are you here? What was your goal?''

''To assassinate the Shadow Prince before he could get stronger and threaten the empire.''

He nodded before Jasper and Eldric brought over the unconscious attackers. They were thrown at his feet, who turned to Raven. ''Which ones are your people?''

The auburn-haired girl pointed at her people without saying anything. Once she does that, Archer kills all the others using Soul Sunder to get the essential memories. He tore their souls from them before throwing the corpses to the side.

He did that for everyone Raven didn't point to and ate their souls before closing his eyes. All the new information was rushing around, causing him to start sorting them out to learn of this new enemy.

The Astoria Continent was a month northwest of Pluoria, and from what he learned, it was a nightmare as the Vrutor Empire had conquered all the kingdoms. The newly formed empire subjugated every royal family and plundered every treasury.

But they didn't touch the Church of Dawnlight, which worshiped the Sun God Mithras, while the rest of the continent worshipped the Earth Goddess Ninhursag at the shrines.

The Vrutor Emperor's passionate devotion to the sun god led it to ally with the church, dominate the continent, and spread its message while wiping out the other god's presence.

When Archer learned about all this, he sighed before mumbling. ''Another church? Fuck my life.''

He turned to Raven, who was tending to her remaining people and spoke. ''Why did the Vrutor emperor team up with the church? Werent the empire strong before that?''

The auburn-haired woman looked at him with a strange expression as she asked in a suspicious voice. ''How do you know that?''

Archer grinned. ''I ate their souls and learned everything I needed to know, Raven Astraea, the serious and brave first princess of the Astraea Kingdom before its fall.''

He pointed at the brown-haired girl and continued. ''Artemis Sylvanor. The fourth princess of the Sylvanor Kingdom. Shall I continue?''

Raven looked at him with wide eyes before commenting. ''That's creepy. What are you going to do with us?''

Archer quickly answered as he sent Jasper back to Hecate and Eldric to the domain. ''Nothing. You were forced to attack me, and I see no need to kill a princess fighting for her land. It's something I can respect.''

After hearing his response, an idea formed in her head, and she proposed. ''Would you be willing to help us?''

He chuckled before asking. ''But ain't I evil and a hellish creature?''

Raven shook her head. ''You can't blame me for that assumption when the previous prince destroyed my continent.''

''Fair point. But I have no intention to destroy anything apart from the things that hurt my girls.''

She nodded. ''I understand, but the Vrutor Emperor ordered us to come. The men and women you killed were the empire's soldiers. They will keep attacking you.''

Archer nonchalantly shrugged. "I'll handle it once the tournaments end. Right now, I've got my hands full."ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

Raven's expression twisted into confusion, causing her to inquire with a hopeful voice, "You'll assist us after the tournament?"

"Yes. But in exchange, I expect their treasures and anything else I wish.''

When the woman heard this, her eyes widened before she commented. ''A bit greedy, don't you think?''

Archer laughed. ''You're wrong. Hiring a dragon to end an empire that has sent some amateurs after me is a fair price. My Nala and Teuila could kill you all.''

Raven's eyes widened as she heard him say dragon again, causing her to focus on him even more. She focused on his violet dragon eyes and the white scales that covered his body while a white tail swayed behind him.

''You're a dragon?'' She asked.

He started to chuckle while responding. ''Yes. I've told you twice, you idiot. I didn't even hit you on the head.''

When he called her an idiot, she instantly reacted. ''Who are you calling an idiot? Take it back!''

Archer smirked. ''How could you not tell I'm a dragon? It's a bit obvious, ain't it.''

Raven shrugged. "I didn't hear you the first time, but okay. I'm sure the other rulers won't complain. But I suppose the old tales of the Shadow Prince should be retold. Instead of destroying our kingdoms like the last one, you'll be restoring them."

''Well, we are different people, and I have no issue against your kingdom, but this empire will crumble for attacking the ship,'' Archer spoke as he cast Aurora Healing on Raven's people, who were shocked when they felt no pain.

After that, he turned to them and asked. ''Where are you staying?''

''Blackrock Harbor in the Mistwood Duchy.''

He nodded. ''Do you plan to head back to Astoria? If so, give me a map of your continent and mark where I can find you. Won't the emperor punish you?''

Raven shook her head. ''No. They will send more people as the church hates the Shadow Prince and wants to wipe you out.''

Archer shrugged before casting Gate and opened a portal to the Mistwood Duchy. Afterward, he threw the auburn-haired woman a violet orb and bracelet, which confused her. ''What's this?''

''The bracelet will allow you to contact me, and the orb is a one-

time use that will allow you to summon me when your life is in danger. You can soak it in mana to control its size and such.''

He motioned to the portal and concluded. ''This will take you to the Mistwood Duchy. I shall see you soon, Princess Ravan Astraea.''

She smiled before leading her people through the portal. Archer watched them go before summoning his wings and flying to the manaship that was a dot in the distance. He sped up and made it back within ten minutes.

Archer noticed the damage had been repaired, and he wondered who used so much mana and scanned the ship. A ping alerted him to a lone woman slumped in an office in the College Of Magic section.

He entered the ship through a balcony and went to the office to find Ophelia out cold and looking ill. Archer knew she used too much mana to keep the ship in the air but overdid it and repaired it instead.

She leaned back on her chair and looked like she was sleeping. Her purplish/black hair was tied into a ponytail, and her delicate face looked at peace. Archer walked over to her and grabbed her hand.

As Ophelia stirred, she opened her eyes to find him gazing down at her. Sensations flooded her as mana surged through her body like a tidal wave, bringing a deep sense of rejuvenation.

With each pulse of energy, she felt her aches and pains dissolve into nothingness, leaving her feeling utterly refreshed.

Archer stopped when he sensed she was back to normal. He smiled at her before asking. ''Feel better now? It would be best not to use all your mana at once. It's not good for you.''

She chuckled. ''Well, the engine on board is greedy for mana and sucked it all up, forcing me to use more until I passed out, but thank you for helping Archer.''

''You're welcome, Headmistress. I'm going to go now. Take care.''

Ophelia nodded and watched him walk out of her office with a smile. He started walking through the corridors and saw students panicking, but the Professors were calming them down.

Archer used the tattoos to find the girl's whereabouts, tracking them down to his room. As he entered, he was immediately engulfed in a flurry of arms, pulled into a warm embrace as they showered him with attention and fuss.

As he stood in the thick of the warm embrace of the girls, their laughter and affection filling the room, he couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart. Their playful energy was infectious, and before he knew it, he leaned in to kiss each one.

Their laughter echoed in the room as they playfully pushed him towards the bed, their hands gently guiding him down onto the soft mattress. Archer chuckled as he let himself be led, his heart light with joy at the carefree moment.

Once he was lying on the bed, surrounded by the girls, they leaned in close, their faces alight with mischief. With delighted smiles, they began peppering his face with kisses, their laughter mingling with the sweet sound of their lips meeting his skin.

Archer lay there and let them do whatever they liked. He felt dainty hands all over his body and even felt one squeeze his manhood. The following giggle indicated that the dragon girl Sera was trying to be naughty.

That's when he heard a smack and Sera yelping. ''You lewd dragon! We are pampering him, so don't touch there.''

Hemera warned Sera, who nodded before everyone got up. Archer's face and neck were red, causing them to laugh. He shook his head and spoke with a grin. ''It's good to see you girls.''
