A Journey That Changed The World.

As Archer got close, he spotted another wave of Swarm Monsters heading to attack them again, which annoyed him. Without thinking, he summoned an army of Stone Men who fell on the heads of mutated trolls.

Once they touched the ground, the large stone constructs battered their way through the horde, killing as many as possible. Thanks to his spell, Archer would earn the experience from the deaths, which suited him just fine.

Following that, he wanted to test the skill his Oma had given him and activated it, causing his claws to appear and grow serrated and his tail to grow barbs on it. Archer dropped to the ground before transforming into his Draconis form.

Without a second thought, he rushed into the horde, taking large swipes and dodging any attack that chis way. Archer was a whirlwind of claws and teeth as he tore through a Ratilg, biting it in half.

As he was fighting with a Mutated General controlling the monsters, the Stone Men crashed into the horde while swinging their large arms. Ratlings and Blightborns were sent flying all over the place.

Archer wasn't using skill but his dragon instincts, as his wings and tail acted like they had a mind of their own. One defended him while the other pierced the chests of any creature that cclose.

He felt the rush of his dragon instincts taking over, every swipe and dodge coming naturally. The thrill of battle was intoxicating, a stark contrast to the calculated summoning of his Stone Men.

The battle raged for hours, and thanks to the Wild Fang Skill Brooke had imparted, Archer was gaining a wealth of experience. He adapted quickly, darting around the battlefield and leaving a trail of carnage in his wake.

It continued for another hour until the Swarm retreated, and the wall cannons stopped firing. Archer's skill ended, and he felt his body grow weak, but he managed to stay on his feet when he noticed a crowd approaching him.

"What did you do with Mother? Where is she?" Rylon's voice trembled with barely contained fury, his green eyes burning with accusation.

"Don't speak to your father like that, my son," Archer sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. "Or I shall punish you."

The older man barked out, ''What nonsense are you speaking?''

''Oma is my woman now and has joined my harem uncle,'' Archer revealed with an evil smile. ''In a way that makesyour father.''

When Fianna and Farrah heard this, their eyes widened as Rylon was lost for words, but he wasn't waiting for his uncle's reply and transformed into his dragon form, which shocked everyone there.

As Archer did that, he snatched up Fianna and her three daughters, who followed behind before taking off. This left the four women confused and scared, as they were safe in his claws while soaring through the air.

He flew toward Draconia in the Southeast, leaving a rage-filled Duke behind. Once Archer flew over the sea, he used Mana Manipulation to speed up. While flying, he felt banging and looked at Fianna, who was staring at him with a rage-filled expression.

Fianna demanded as she was confused at the whole situation, ''Why are you kidnapping us, Arch?'' he heard the older woman's voice annoyed. ''The Everrose Family is back in Valoria City.''

Archer let out a rumbling chuckle before he answered in a deep voice that shocked the three younger women, ''You're not an Everrose anymore, Fi. You're Fianna Wyldheart.''

Afterward, he stopped speaking and ignored the woman's banging until he spotted a Coastal Fleet patrolling the waters around his island. While flying, Archer spotted Demetra swimming below him.

Soon, he arrived above the mountains that circled Draconia and descended just behind the Sea Wall, where Demetra, Mary, and Kassandra joined him. Archer released Fianna and her daughter before returning to his humanoid form.

Faith and Fiona spun on him, demanding, ''Why did you bring us here? We left father behind.''

Archer looked at the two girls before revealing, ''Valoria would have fallen by nightfall,'' he said. ''The Swarm would have sent in their elite troops.''

He turned to the Sea Wall and continued, ''Your absence will allow the Duke to flee to the Crownlands with the remaining Everrose soldiers.''

Fianna stepped forward and spoke, ''Why did you leave him behind? His your uncle and Mother Brooke would be unhappy if he were to die.''

''He was my father's brother, and anything to do with that human is useless to me,'' he said without a care in the world, catching Fianna off guard.

The blonde woman spoke in a hurt voice, ''Evenand mother?''

Fianna's mind raced as she struggled to process what was happening. His words cut deep, but the look in his eyes was even more unsettling—cold, detached, yet possessive.

But the truth was that Archer felt terrible because of the way he worded it, so he explained, ''No one in the Ashguard family has shownany love apart from Oma, then you calong who is married to my uncle/step-son, but now I've stolen you away, so you're mine Fianna Wyldheart.''

Her eyes widened, but concern soon appeared on her beautiful face as she commented, ''You will most likely turn him into an enemy by doing this.''

''I honestly don't care. He can join the others,'' he replied. ''Now, let's get you sorted out. You will stay withwhile Farrah, Faith, and Fiona get a manor to themselves. They can choose their place now.''

Just as he said that, two carriages appeared with a group of White Dragon Knights following behind on horses. They bowed their head to Archer, who instructed them to escort the Everrose sisters to find a place to live.''

The royal bodyguards agreed and ushered the three confused girls into the carriage, leaving Archer, Fianna, Kassandra, Demetra, and Mary, who were waiting to greet him. He turned to the three women before approaching them.

He hugged and kissed the three, who beamed once he was done. Archer was about to speak. Demetra stepped forward and informed him in a concerned tone, ''The Swarm are attacking using sea monsters Arch. Kass and I can handle it, but we need sships to help.''

Archer nodded, ''Okay. I'll speak to Olivia and get it arranged,'' he said. ''Letintroduce you to Fianna Wyldheart, your new sister.''

The three women eyed Fianna, who was uncomfortable, causing her to think, 'Are they monsters? Why does it feel like they are predators?'

Archer chuckled when Fianna's eyes widened in shock. Still, she nodded, causing him to explain, ''Kassandra here is a Kraken, Demetra is a Demon Shark, and Mary is a Primordial Nameless Thing. They are all titans; you see their humanoid forms.''

Mary was the first to speak and stepped forward to hold her hand out, ''It's nice to meet you, Fianna. We are of a similar age and could be friends in the future.''

He watched Fianna look baffled, but soon she nodded, ''We can. I haven't met many women my age since I usually stay in the castle and care for the Duchy.''

The grey-haired Primordial nodded before looking at Archer, ''Can I take her to see Dragonheart City? I have to head back to Leira as the fighting on the mainland is picking back up.''

Archer nodded before kissing Mary and Fianna as they stepped into a carriage. Once they were gone, the two titan women fawned over him, causing him to smile before hugging them both and heading back to the sea.

Kassandra informed him they had been fighting off numerous sea monsters who tried to invade Draconia. Archer thanked both of them and told the two to cto visit him tonight when the moon appeared.

They smiled before rushing back to the river, leaving Archer alone. While there a Tressym sent a picture back on the Verdantia Continent which on lock down with large stone walls circling the entire landmass.

Seeing this, he thought, 'What are they up to?'

He shook his head and decided not to worry about that, just as he sent a message to the girls. While waiting for a reply, Archer flew to the surrounding mountains to relax and watch over the kingdom as the afternoon sun shone overhead.

Archer received the first reply from Nefertiti, who informed him that the Zenian Armies were holding off the Swarm by using chokepoints throughout the empire. Thanks to the bracelet, they can send mental messages.

[I hope you're okay, Nefi. Do you need any help?]

[No, my love, the army is doing well and has pushed the vile creatures back]

[I miss you, Arch]

Archer smiled when seeing this and sent one back as more messages poured in.

[I miss and love you, my succubus. I will cto see you soon]

[You better]

After that, it was pretty much the sfor all the girls except Teuila and Sera, who were struggling with the number of monsters invading Aquaria. Archer promised to cthere to help in the morning, but his army would take a few more days.

Once Archer caught up with the girls, he messaged Aisha to meet him at the Bastion as soon as possible, as he had sideas to improve people's lives. Afterward, he pulled out schocolate and started nibbling on it while watching a flock of birds.

They fluttered by minding their own business, which relaxed Archer until a Tressym returned and informed him of more Desert Worms, but they were different. This caught Archer's attention, and he decided to investigate when he had free time.
