Chapter 321 Heading Out
That's when he remembered what Lioran said and asked her. ''So why do people avoid you? Even now these guys are keeping their space?''
As he spoke he approached Halime who backed off as she held her hands up in front of her. ''I can't touch other people.''
Before he could continue his conversation with Halime, Lioran interrupted and asked. ''Archer want to come out with us? There are some good places in the city?''
He looked at the lion boy and nodded before sending a message to the girls but none answered apart from Talila who was training.
Archer asked her if he wanted to join him and she agreed, he opened a portal and she appeared wearing a beautiful red summer dress which caught him off guard.
Talila giggled when she saw his reaction but waited for him to compliment her. He shook his head and commented. ''Wow, Tali. You are beautiful.''
When the elf girl heard him, her brown cheeks turned red but a small smile was on her face. But she soon grabbed his arm as she greeted the others with a nod.
Halime saw all this and was jealous as she knew she would never experience that sort of thing but she shook her head to clear such thoughts.
That was when Archer appeared in front of her with a charming smile on his face catching her off guard. ''What is this black curse?''
She looked at him and hesitated to answer because she didn't want them to avoid her but Archer noticed her hesitation and spoke again. ''Don't worry I won't avoid you.''
Halime sighed before explaining. ''I am a rare Black Mamba demi-human that is born into the Nagendra Royal Family. My venom is powerful and I can't control it.''
Archer looked confused and asked. ''What do you mean you can't control it?''
A sad smile appeared on her face as she told the group. ''If anyone touches me there is a chance they will be poisoned and my nails always produce the stuff.''
He looked confused but made sure his immunity was still activated and got closer to the girl but Talila stopped him. ''Arch, what are you doing?''
When he heard her he turned to her and answered with a smile. ''I want her to poison me.''
Talila, Nala, Lioran, and the two lion girls all looked at him like he was crazy and Lioran stepped forward. ''Why do you want to do such a stupid thing?''
Archer shrugged as he answered. ''I want to become immune to said poison and will go around collecting them to eat.''
When everyone heard him they shook their heads but Talila just watched him.
The girl in question started panicking but couldn't move as Archer cast Mana Manipulation to hold her still.
He stopped in front of her as he held up his wrist and spoke. ''Bite me.''
She looked at the crazy boy in front of her and wondered why he wanted to die but after an inner fight, she grew curious about him.
Halime's snake fangs appeared as she nervously grabbed Archer's wrist. She thought he would flinch when she touched him, but he remained still.
''I don't know why you want this and I think you're crazy.'' She said as his fangs pierced his wrist.
Archer felt a stinging pain but he soon felt his new spell kick in, so he checked it quickly.
[Immunity: 0>2]
His eyes widened when he saw the skill level up. He felt lightheaded but it soon vanished and he felt normal.
Halime stopped biting him and anticipated him to collapse to the floor but no he was just standing there with a stupid smile on his face.
Archer felt relaxed and enjoyed the sensation of the poison traveling through his body. It wasn't doing any harm to him but soon died out.
He looked at the exotic girl who was looking at him in shock along with the others. Talila was the first to speak. ''Are you okay Arch?''
When he heard her he turned to her and nodded. ''Yeah, I am fine. It tingled a bit but felt really good.''
Halime stepped back in shock as she thought to herself. 'How is he not dead? It's the black mamba poison, not some everyday one.'
She didn't know how he was alive but a spark was ignited inside her which lit up her already gloomy world.
Archer shook his head and stepped back as he looked at a shocked Lioran. ''Are we ready to go?''
The boy nodded his head and started leading the way out of the college. They started walking back to Starfall City.
Talila looked behind her and saw Halime in her own world and nudged Archer as she spoke. ''Go check on the snake she looks like she's in a daze.''
He nodded and fell in next to the snake girl who came to when she saw him and spoke. ''How are you alive?''
Archer looked at her with a smile as he touched the scales on her hand. ''Well I have an ability that nullifies poisons and it gives me the tingles which felt nice.''
When Halime heard his reply she smiled as she started speaking. ''No one has ever tried touching me since a maid died years ago but here you are wanting me to bite you.''
He started to laugh and spoke. ''Yeah, I like to do what I want whenever I want to. Plus I knew I wouldn't be harmed by you and hopefully, other students won't be so scared of you in the future.''
After he finished speaking he dragged her with him to walk with Talila again. When they got to her he grabbed the elf's hand.
Talila turned to him with a smile when she saw the snake girl just standing there embarrassed.
''What did you do to her you lustful dragon?'' She said in a teasing tone.
Archer looked at her as he acted hurt. ''Tali. How dare you accuse me of doing something to Halime. I would never.''
He leaned over and whispered into the snake girl's ear. ''Unless you wanted me to do something that is.''
When Halime heard his words she shivered and quickly made her way over to the lion girls. Talila followed after kissing him on the cheek.
That was when the other girls sent him messages causing him to get a headache and open a portal.
Ella walked out first followed by the other girls and a shocked-looking Leira. He smiled when he saw the cat girl and spoke. ''What have you seen now?''
Leira turned to him with her green eyes and approached him as she asked. ''You have wyvern, dragons, and a whole city in there?''
Archer looked at her like she was an idiot which caused a vein to bulge in her head as she snapped. ''Don't look at me like that dragon.''
Her reaction caused him to laugh but he answered her. ''Yeah, I do and I rescued everyone there or my subordinates did. But it's a place they can grow until I find land for us.''
Leira nodded as the other girls appeared and each one greeted him with a kiss before they joined Nala and the other girls who were watching.
Once they were gone he was left alone but followed behind them. That was until Lioran joined him and spoke. ''The girls seem to get along well.''
Archer looked at him and nodded. ''Yeah, they do.''
He didn't know how to react to this overly friendly guy who continued to ask questions. ''Is it true that you were swept down south? Is that where you met the girls?''
When he heard Lioran's question he shrugged and decided to see if he could get along with him. ''Yes I knew Ella from before but the rest I've met on the way north.''
Lioran nodded and continued to speak. ''I heard they were arranged marriages. Are you okay with that?''
Archer looked at him before answering. ''Yeah, it doesn't bother me as they are wonderful girls and have brought peace to my life.''
The lion boy looked at him and saw Archer's possessive eyes when he was looking at his girls.
Lioran shook his head and spoke. ''Well, that's a good thing. Let's head for a restaurant I know it serves delicious food.''
Archer agreed and the two continued to talk as they approached the city gate and were let through.
The girls stopped talking to the others and approached Archer. Teuila spoke. ''What is the plan, Darling?''
He looked at his ocean princess before answering. ''Lioran knows a good restaurant we can go to.''
They nodded their heads with smiles as Talila and Hemera stole his arms from the other girls.
The large group kept walking as Halime stayed close to Archer and was becoming fascinated by him.
She noticed that he treats all the girls the same and shows no favoritism.
