Chapter 993: A Playboy With Morals
Archer watched the woman until she shook her head and spoke amusedly, "A being from another world but also this one. What gods stole your soul from me?"
The woman slowly approached him as he replied while his curiosity grew, "I died on Earth, was born on Thrylos to a new family, and now I can travel between worlds, but I have to get stronger first before opening a Gate back home."
She nodded with a fascinated expression that crossed her face before speaking, "Putting souls back into their rightful bodies hasn't been done in countless years. Why waste so much essence on four human women? It would be more useful if you could give me it."
'She's giving me an off feeling; it's like something is not right.'
Archer started laughing before guessing, "You're Death? Never thought I'd meet someone like you here."
The woman beamed and replied with an amused tone, "Yes, you can call me Lady Death. But I'm neither god nor human; I'm something in between. I was put here at the beginning of time to feed on you fuckers."
"And me bringing these four back deprived you of a meal?" Archer asked with a charming smile that caught the stranger off guard. "If that's the case, I am sorry, but I care about them, so you will not be eating them."
Lady Death giggled as her black eyes sparkled while replying, "Well, if that's the case, I will have to eat your soul, but there's something else I may want."
Archer wondered where this was going but waited for her to reveal what she wanted, "I want to see another world. Can I join you on whatever planet you come from?"
He studied her with narrowed eyes before giving a slow nod. "As long as no one dies in my kingdom, I'll gladly take you to Thrylos."
Lady Death's smile widened, her eyes gleaming with mischief as she spoke in amusement. "Hand over your phone, dragon. I want your number to discuss your repayment of the debt you owe me."'n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Archer chuckled softly, surrendering his phone. As she typed in her number, her gaze swept over his body, her voice dropping to a whisper after biting her lip. "But if someone else has to die, dragon... I might need more than just a favor."
'Does she not realize what she's implying?' Archer mused, his eyes darkening with amusement. He responded with a slow, teasing smile. "As long as that favor involves you, I'd be more than willing to return the gesture."
Lady Death giggled her laugh light but laced with something darker. She nodded, stepping back. "I really should go. Duty calls-people are dying and need my attention. We shall meet again, handsome."
She returned his phone and vanished into the wind, leaving a swirling burst of strange mana behind. Archer looked around, feeling like she had never been there. As time resumed its course, he felt a sharp, unfamiliar sensation strike his body, but it took a moment for him to register the pain.
'Who would have thought Death would be sexy? Maybe I should claim her for myself,' Archer thought.
Standing over her was a tall, muscular man, his rage palpable. Archer's heart pounded as he saw the raw distress on Cece's face. In a surge of fury, he blinked to the man's side instantly, his anger barely contained as he punched the stranger in the stomach.
The strike took the wind out of the man before Archer struck again and broke his jaw. His four friends jumped out of the car and surrounded him, making his smile grow wider as he stepped forward and headbutted one while kicking another in the chest.
Archer's sudden attack sent the one he kicked crashing into the car, while the one he struck first was screeching as his nose was obliterated. Following that, he attacked the last two, who looked at him with fear, but that didn't matter as he broke at least one of their limbs.
Cece and Isabella looked at the scene in fear as the one who struck her pulled out a gun and aimed it at Archer. This made the two women panic, but the man's hands dropped to the floor when a woosh was heard.
The scene shocked everyone as Ashoka appeared while holding a sword. Nyx appeared and slashed at one of the men's throats causing Archer to kill the rest before sucking all their
bodies into his Item Box.
Nyx lifted one of the men easily, her mix-matched eyes gleaming with a predatory delight. "Can I eat this one, husband? He smells so delicious, like a perfectly cooked steak from our
dates."
Archer chuckled, his amusement evident. He quickly cast Mana Manipulation, cloaking the grisly scene from view as Nyx shifted into her dragon form. With one swift motion, she devoured the man whole.
As Nyx savored her feast, Archer casually offered, "Would you like the other corpses I have In
my Item?"
"Yes, please," she replied with a big smile.
He threw the dragon woman the bodies, which shocked Cece and Isabella. Nyx returned to her humanoid form with a satisfied expression as she spoke, "It tasted like pork." Ashoka and Maeve started laughing while Archer hugged Nyx, who returned it. Following that, Isabella shook her head before speaking, "You need some rest, Arch, and don't just kill people. It's not how things work on Earth."
"The human hurt Cece, and the others tried coming after me. I believe they got what they deserved," Archer answered without thinking about their deaths as he grew used to killing
people.
Following that, the group entered the house, and when Archer walked with his three women, Cece grabbed his head and whispered, "Can you come to my room, please?"
