Chapter 387 Suncrest City

Chapter 387 Suncrest City

Mia started laughing when she witnessed her embarrassed daughter's behavior and started laughing as Sia didn't know how to answer the question.

But Archer spoke up. ''Well, not yet Grandmother. I'm still young and she is a general that is needed by the empire, when the time is right it will happen.''

The older woman smiled before answering. ''I'm only messing around Arch. You two are not even married yet so we have to plan that.''

Archer nodded and the four of them caught up with life before Sia and her parents returned to Starfall City.

Sia gave him a long and passionate kiss as she left, Archer was now alone in the treehouse with only Hecate.

He decided to go see her and started up the stairs until he came to her lab door and knocked.

After waiting for a little while he heard footsteps coming toward the door and the Moon Elf opened the door.

When Hecate saw him she invited him inside and as Archer stepped in he smelled all types of different ingredients.

Archer looked around and saw all sorts of potions all over the place and grew curious as he didn't see her maid.n)/O--v/-e.-l(.b-/I--n

So he asked. ''Where is Eione?''

Hecate looked at him while she cleaned up the lab and answered. ''She is out with Thalia and Xanthe. They seem to get on really well.''

He nodded before he approached the distracted elf and grabbed her waist before spinning her around causing her to yelp but he stole her lips.

Archer kissed her so deeply that Hecate was shocked for a moment but soon reciprocated and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

The two of them stopped kissing shortly after and sat down on some chairs as Archer spoke. ''How is everything going? Do you need anything?''

Hecate smiled before answering. ''I would like to open a shop in a big city so I can sell potions and other stuff to earn some coins.''

When Archer heard her, he became confused and asked, "Why do you wish to earn coins? There's no need, as I have more than enough to care for you and the rest of the girls for the entirety of our lives."

The Moon Elf cast her gaze downward and responded in a soft tone, "I desire to be of greater help to you. While I do fight, the others are consistently by your side. I merely desire to be valuable to you, so you never feel driven to cast me aside."

Archer felt his heart break as he heard her words and decided to pay more attention to each girl and make sure they all felt loved.

Hecate wasn't looking at him as she started to grow sad but was stopped when Archer grabbed her chin and kissed her.

Following that, he gently murmured in her ear, "You are my Moon Witch, and I would never cast you aside. You're bound to me now. However, I truly love you, Hecate. You always come to my rescue, and I hold dear our late-night conversations about creatures and magic."

He stroked the elf's grey cheek as she looked at him with her bright red eyes and gave him a smile before she kissed him.

After that, he asked. ''Do you want a shop so you can get out of the domain? I can make sure you get a good place as the empire will owe me a large debt, so asking for a shop is nothing.''

When Hecate heard this and got excited as she couldn't wait to sell some of her new potions to people.

She agreed and wanted to know if she could ask the vampire twins to help her which Archer said yes causing her to start planning the shop.

Archer created a stack of paper for her before speaking. ''Hecate. I will go deal with the last of the enemy kingdoms then we'll spend the night together.''

He walked out and left a red-faced elf behind who soon got back to designing her new shop.

Once he left the lab he opened a Gate to the Mistwood Duchy and saw a lively Vassia City that was bustling with people going about their business.

Archer flew toward the Goldenvale and Aetheria Kingdoms, after a few hours of flying he came across a border castle.

He stopped above the castle and looked down to see hundreds of soldiers inside and on the snowy walls.

The weather never waned as snow still fell which helped conceal him high in the sky.

After watching for a little he cast Blink and appeared on the wall behind an unsuspecting guard who turned toward him.

But Archer grabbed him and cast Soul Eater on the human. He ate the man's soul to gain all the information on the Goldenvale Kingdom.

He found out everything he needed to know, Archer knew where every castle, fort, and city was.

Once he was done with the man he threw his body off the wall and jumped off the wall. Archer landed in the courtyard of the castle to attract attention.

He just stood there and waited for the soldiers to appear which took twenty seconds until hundreds of Goldenvale soldiers surrounded him.

When Archer saw the shocked and scared looks on the soldier's faces, it caused him to get a grin on his face as he spoke. ''Now. Now, humans, I'm only here for your wealth and lives.''

After speaking he summoned his razor-sharp claws and rushed forward as his eyes burned with excitement.

The Goldenvale soldiers stood no chance as he descended upon them like a whirlwind of death.

With swift and brutal strikes, he tore through their ranks, ripping through armor and flesh alike causing the humans to panic and try to flee.

The air was filled with the sickening sound of claws meeting bone and the agonized screams of the soldiers.

Blood sprayed in all directions, painting the castle grounds in a gruesome tapestry of red.

Bones shattered and bodies crumpled as Archer showed no mercy, his every movement a dance of violence and destruction.

The once proud and defiant soldiers of Goldenvale now lay in tatters, their lives extinguished in a frenzy of carnage.

After finishing the surrounding soldiers he was standing in the center covered in blood, Archr let out a tired sigh as the cold bit at his skin.

Archer was only wearing a thin shirt so he started searching the castle and found a cloak but it seemed strange to him.

He held it up and scanned it.

When he read the pop-up he became angry and looted the vault before leaving. Archer flew through the snowstorm and attacked many castles and forts along the way.

After destroying the tenth Goldenvale fortress he came across an army that was marching north.

Archer wouldn't let them get away and sped up until he was right above them. He took a deep breath and let out a Dragon's Breath that washed over the unsuspecting human soldiers.

The snowstorm covered their screams and quickly covered up the scene as Archer flew off to go find his next target.

Amidst a relentless snowstorm, Archer soared through the turbulent skies, his massive wings navigating the blizzard's wrath.

The Goldenvale Kingdom lay spread out beneath him, a wintry landscape cloaked in white.

With a malevolent gleam in his eyes, he surveyed the land, each snowflake swirling around him. One by one, Archer descended upon the kingdom's grand castles.

His claws and Dragon's Breath tore through their defenses, reducing towering stone walls to piles of snow-covered rubble.

The defenders, disoriented by the blizzard, were no match for his relentless onslaught as they burned to a crisp.

As he moved from castle to castle, Goldenvale's once-proud fortresses crumbled into icy ruins as he brought their walls down with his massive dragon form.

The storm's fury masked the sounds of destruction—the echoes of his fiery breath and the crumbling of stone.

But Archer had more than destruction on his mind. Amidst the chaos, he descended upon the castles' treasuries, amassing a horde of riches.

Gold, jewels, and precious artifacts were added to his growing wealth as he left a trail of plunder in his wake like the hooligan he was.

Finally, when the snowstorm had reached its peak, Archer made his way to Goldenvale's capital, Suncrest City.

He stood on a hill overlooking the magnificent city, now shrouded in a thick blanket of snow. With his loot secured and his vengeance sated, he watched the capital in eerie silence.

The heart of Suncrest City lay before him, its streets and buildings eerily empty as its citizens sought shelter from the tempest.

Archer's large dragon form was framed by the swirling snowflakes, cast a foreboding shadow over the city.

He decided that he would only loot the kingdom's bank and palace and then he would move on to the Aetherians.

After formulating his plans he returned to his humanoid form and flew toward the city and saw many soldiers guarding the wall.
