Chapter 690 Pax Draconia

Archer watched as his opponent regained his footing, offering him a chance to recover. Lucas hurled himself forward again, fists swinging with force. However, he swiftly parried the blows before launching a decisive counterattack.

With a sudden movement, he delivered a powerful headbutt, the impact causing a sickening pop as Lucas's nose gave way under the force. Blood rained down, but Archer chose not to dodge it and let it cover him before storming into him, landing a deadly combo.

His violet eyes gleamed with excitement while his smile widened with every strike. Lucas, taken aback by his apparent happiness during combat, hesitated momentarily, his confidence faltering.

"You're a madman!" he exclaimed while backing away, his voice tinged with disbelief and fear. But Archer paid no attention to the accusation. He was too busy reveling in the fight's thrill as adrenaline pumped through his veins.

He welcomed the pain, embracing it as strength. With a wild look crossing his face, he launched into another relentless onslaught, his movements wild and beast-like as he attacked.

Closing the distance between himself and Lucas, he increased the crowd's anticipation to a fever pitch. With every step, the ground seemed to tremble beneath his feet, echoing his thunderous heartbeat.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the impending clash between these two formidable opponents. With a fierce determination burning in his eyes, Archer launched into a relentless barrage of punches.

Each strike was delivered with explosive force, creating shockwaves reverberating with deafening booms. Archer's punches seemed to come from every direction, leaving Lucas struggling to keep up.

Lucas struggled to defend himself against the relentless attacks. He pressed forward with a massive smile on his blood-covered face. Accelerating with sudden speed, Archer unleashed a barrage of strikes so powerful that they left the large boy staggering, his defenses collapsing under the assault.

Sensing the opening, Archer swiftly employed Blink and instantly materialized in front of Lucas. With unwavering determination, he grasped the boy's face firmly, his fingers digging into flesh as he forcefully slammed him onto the stage's ground.

The impact echoed through the arena with a resounding boom, the force of the blow reverberating through the air. As Lucas lay sprawled on the ground, defeated and dazed, he stood looking down at him just as the referee announced him as the winner.

But Archer ignored the man before squatting next to Lucas, who was injured. With a shrug, he placed his hand on the boy and cast Aurora Healing, causing a violet light to wash over him. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Archer studied Lucas more closely, noting his imposing stature reminiscent of a barbarian warrior. Despite his large muscular frame, Lucas possessed silver hair and piercing blue eyes, a testament to years of rigorous training.

Pleased by his observation, Archer recognized a kindred spirit in the disciplined warrior before him. As Lucas's eyes opened upon healing, Archer smirked and addressed him, "You're strong. Are you of noble birth?"

The boy sat up, shook his head, and answered, ''No. My family owns land in the Crownlands and fights for the empire, but we're not nobles.''

Archer nodded, ''Good, good. Now, do you want a purpose in life? I could use a soldier like you in my army.''

Lucas rubbed his head and asked suspiciously, ''What about my family? Can they also join?''

"Of course, but under one condition, you and your family must swear a mana oath to me and my kingdom. Only then can you all reside in Draconia," Archer replied.

Beneath arched brows, her bewitching purple eyes sparkled with charm, drawing attention to their depth and intensity. Full, plush lips formed a graceful smile, illuminating her face and exuding warmth and charm.

Each aspect of her seemed perfect, creating a supernatural beauty that left an indelible impression on all who beheld her. He couldn't help but be captivated by her and continued to watch the mermaid girl.

As his gaze lingered on her, she suddenly turned in his direction. Catching his gaze, Aurelia flashed him a glowing smile that stole his breath. Her smile illuminated the entire arena, and her charm utterly enchanted him.

Momentarily, time seemed to stand still as they locked eyes and exchanged a silent admiration. Feeling a rush of warmth spread through him, Archer couldn't help but return her smile with a slight nod of appreciation.

It was a small gesture expressing his admiration for her beauty and confidence. Aurelia continued on her way, her smile lingering in Archer's mind until Teuila nudged him, breaking his reverie.

"She likes you, Arch, and I mean hardcore, " Teuila remarked, knowing how he'd react. "All she does is talk to us about you, but there's some bad news. She'sengaged to a Novgorodian Prince."

Archer's initial reaction was anger, but he swiftly suppressed it, his determination shining through, "I'll steal her away, just like I'm going to do with Maeve," he declared firmly, his gaze steely with resolve.

Teuila smiled before revealing something, ''We have decided that if you want to pursue Maeve, Aurelia, and Eveline, you can, as we like the three, and even Nefertiti likes them, which is strange as all of them have a soft spot for you.''

When Archer heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, though he quickly answered, ''Oh, really. I knew Maeve liked me as much as I did her, but not the others.''

Just as Teuila was about to speak, Hemera commented from behind them, ''You can tell Eveline likes you. It was harder with Aurelia, but it's there. Maybe you should take them on a date? Alone, obviously.''

Archer nodded, ''Definitely. I want to take all of you on a date, but there's not enough time.''

The sun elf laughed before suggesting an idea: ''Why not take the new girls on a solo date, then take two of us out? That way, we can all spend time with you without wasting time.''

Just as Archer was about to reply, his bracelet vibrated as he received a message from Aisha back in Draconia: ''Your Majesty. We have a problem. The remaining Valethorn Nobles have rebelled and captured the town of Drakonia while kicking out all our people.''

When Archer heard this, his anger surged, and a wild aura enveloped him. This spurred Teuila to inquire, ''What's wrong, darling?''

Standing up, he responded, ''Some foolish nobles dare to rebel against me and wish for a painful death at the end of my claws.''

''Are you heading to Draconia?'' Kassandra inquired.

He nodded, ''Yes. Would you and Hemera like to accompany me?''

The two girls agreed, and then he turned to Teuila, instructing her, ''Brief me upon my return, and please record the girls' fights for me.''
