Chapter 1008: Three Hostile Targets
Archer started battling across the sky as he fought the creepy humanoids that were easy to deal with. Thanks to his magic and claws, he defeated the enemy that fell into the rough sea below.
"This is easier than I expected,' he mused.
After half an hour, the Cthulu-like beings were defeated, allowing him to fly toward the shore. Ahoka, Maeve, Nyx, and Michelle were waiting in the garden with a black-haired woman in a suit.
'Who is this? The government it looks like,' Archer pondered as he descended to the sand below.
When he touched the ground, dozens of men surrounded him while pointing guns at him. Archer laughed, but the black-haired woman approached and spoke suspiciously, "Why do you keep fighting those things? We can deal with them."
"Clearly. They nearly hit the coast before I dealt with them, as your navy was still racing to the scene," Archer said with a knowing smile.
After speaking, he looked around while using Mana Manipulation to take all the people's weapons, as the woman requested with narrowed eyes, "Can you come with us, please? Someone would like to meet you."
Maeve and Ashoka were going to speak, but Archer smiled at the two before reassuring them, "I'll be fine, my lovelies. Stay here and protect my family, please."'
The three women nodded in agreement as he looked at the black-haired woman and replied, "Where are we going?"
"I cannot tell you at this moment, but while on the way, you will be filled in," she said professionally.
After bidding farewell to the women, Archer followed the government officials to the front of the building, where an SUV awaited. A man opened the door for him, and he climbed inside, settling into the plush seat as the door closed with a click, sealing him inside.
The woman climbed in and introduced herself, "I'm Special Agent Ava Reed. I work with the President's Office on creatures from the deep."
Archer grew curious and inquired, "How long have they been attacking?"
Ava's black eyes gleamed before answering, "It's been over a decade now. We've managed to cover the damage using natural disasters and other incidents, but the attacks are becoming more frequent."
'Interesting,' he thought. 'I wonder where they're coming from.'
Following that, the SUV drove through the quiet night as Archer gazed out the tinted window at the passing scenery. Palm trees swayed gently in the warm breeze, silhouetted against the moonlit sky.
The city's lights gradually faded, replaced by the vast openness of coastal highways. Archer leaned back, feeling the engine's hum beneath him, his mind turning over what lay ahead, 'I wonder what they want. Its the government so most likely threats,' he thought with a chuckle.
Beside him, Ava remained silent, her sharp eyes focused on the road ahead. The convoy of black vehicles eventually veered off the main highway, entering a heavily guarded military checkpoint.
Blood and bone splattered in the air as he turned to face the last one. Channeling raw energy, Archer unleashed an Eldritch Blast that streaked through the sky like a meteor, obliterating
the final enemy.
Following that, Archer spotted the fancy-looking mansion in the distance and started flying at it. However, he was struck by several missiles, which sent him crashing into the ground with a boom that echoed through the mountains.
"They want to do this!' he thought as anger exploded. 'Let me show these stupid humans not to mess with me.'
Archer rocketed out of the smoking crater, his wings carving through the air like blades as he locked onto the jets, desperately trying to flee. He closed the distance with inhuman speed, eyes blazing with a predatory gleam.
In one quick motion, his claws ripped through the metal hull of the first jet-like paper. The aircraft shuddered and split apart in a fiery explosion that painted the sky orange and red. Archer's lips curled into a dark smile as the shockwave washed over him.
Without hesitation, he turned his gaze to the second jet, now frantically attempting to escape. But there was no outrunning him. In a blur, he closed the gap and slammed his foot into one of the wings with the force of a meteor strike.
The jet careened out of control, spiraling downward in a chaotic descent before slamming into the mountainside. Upon impact, it erupted in an explosion, unleashing towering plumes of fire and thick smoke that surged into the sky.
Following that, Archer flew toward the mansion in the mountain but soon noticed the Gatling Guns, who started firing at him. He cast Cosmic Shield to block the bullets that fell to the
ground below.
He smiled before casting a Plasma Missile, sending the machines flying toward him and causing them to blow up. Once they were taken care of, Archer landed in the front garden,
surrounded by men in black suits.
'Oh, the Secret Service,' he thought with a chuckle.
Archer spoke with a knowing smile, "I'm guessing the President is in here. Get him, or I will level this whole area, and you already know I can do it."
The surrounding men and women looked nervous, but an older man stepped forward, "Back down, monster. We have weaponry that can deal with your kind."
When Archer heard this, he started laughing, his eyes glowed with excitement. "Use them and watch how quickly I kill every single one of you before seeing the president myself."
Noone moved, causing him to step forward only to be stopped by a new voice, "There's no
need for that, Archer. Can't we talk?"
