Chapter 1033: What Are We Looking For Brother
Archer dropped Alexa at work and promised he would see her soon. Once she was gone, he walked toward a nearby alleyway to teleport to his mother's house, where he saw Ashoka, Nyx, and Maeve sitting in the garden, laughing with Ellie.
When the four women spotted him, they all smiled, but Nyx flew at him as fast as a rocket and crashed into his chest. She wrapped her arms around his body as he spoke, "Ladies, I'm going to clear some Swarm bases. Do you three want to come?"
The dragon woman climbed off him, nodding in agreement. Maeve stood up and smiled, "I will use my wings. I've been neglecting them since becoming a dragon."
Ashoka all agreed with a vicious glint in her amber eyes. He laughed before looking at Ellie, "Do you want to come, but you'll have to listen to everything I say?"
When the brunette heard him, she nodded with a big smile as Nyx and Maeve summoned their wings. At the same time, Ashoka cast a flying spell and levitated, which shocked Ellie, who went wide-eyed at the scene.
Following that, Archer quickly picked her up in a princess carry, which shocked Ellie as her brown eyes landed on him. "You won't drop me, will you?" she asked nervously.
Archer started laughing at her question, but Maeve spoke up as she flapped her wings and ascended into the sky, saying, "He won't drop you, Ellie. Archer has carried us for years and is a pro."
When the orange-haired woman spoke, he soared into the sky, followed by Nyx and Ashoka. He quickly summoned his white wings before taking off and flying north toward Canada, where the first few Swarm bases were located.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The group soared through the sky; Archer hid them using Mana Manipulation, allowing them to travel unnoticed. They quickly flew over Florida, gliding across multiple states until they reached a distant mountain range, where the first hole awaited.
As they looked for the tunnel entrance, Ellie glanced at him, her big brown eyes full of curiosity. Her voice wavered with nervousness as she asked, "Why are we flying so fast?"
Archer glanced at her and smiled before responding, "We're not going that fast. This is just my cruising speed. But one day," he added with a playful glint, "I'll show you how fast I can truly fly."
After that, he looked at the young woman and asked a question that caught her off guard, "Do you have a boyfriend, El?"
She stiffened before asking in a quiet voice, "Why are you asking something like that? You don't have your eyes on me, do you?"
Archer grinned at her question but didn't answer as he continued, "I'm going to take you out one day, big sister. Where have you always wanted to visit?"
"Italy!" she instantly answered.
Her sudden declaration made him laugh before replying with a chuckle, "We can go there soon; I want to see the world while spending time with you."
Ellie's cheeks flushed as the group descended toward the ground, the entrance to the Swarm's lair now in sight. A tremor ran through his body as Archer touched down-a warning. His senses sharpened instantly.
"The Swarm has been here recently,' he thought grimly. Turning to the three women, his tone firm, he said, "Can you two guard the entrance? The monsters have already left, but they'll strike from behind if we're not careful."
'Why is he treating this like a game?' Ellie wondered, her thoughts racing as she stood behind the shimmering violet barrier-the same hue as her brother's eyes.
Through the protective shield, she watched Archer as he tore through the slender man-like
creatures that had emerged from the tunnel. His calm demeanor as he butchered the
monstrous being only added to her unease.
Ellie was concerned, thinking, 'Brother isn't the same anymore. He's more wild now.'
After that, Archer turned to her with a smile and said, "Follow me, sis, and stay close."
She nodded before following him, looking at his board back, which sent her heart beating fast. 'Don't tell me I'm attracted to him?'
Ellie found herself studying Archer more closely. His short white hair stood out-it was a rare feature for someone so young, usually a sign of age, yet he carried it effortlessly, looking
every bit his age.
Taller than most men she knew, Archer was built strong but not overly muscular, giving him a powerful presence without seeming excessive. Now that they were alone, his pointy ears appeared, along with a swaying tail that moved gently from side to side.
Ellie couldn't help but find him handsome, a warmth rising within her. She quickly shook her head. 'He was my brother. How can I feel this way? What would our siblings think?' Despite her inner conflict, curiosity ate at her. As they continued down the tunnel in silence, her thoughts raced. Unable to hold back, Ellie glanced at him and asked hesitantly, "Do you
find me attractive, brother?"

When Archer heard that, he grinned before turning around and whispering into her ear, "I would make you mine, but it's still too early for that."
After hearing her question, Archer watched as Ellie's cheeks flushed, her wide brown eyes full of surprise. He chuckled softly, amused by her reaction, then turned and continued down the
tunnel.
Without waiting for more attacks, he cast Crown of Stars, and glowing orbs of light began to orbit around him, casting an ethereal glow as they circled his figure. The spell instantly activated by shooting any Blightborns that got close to them.
A violet glow lit up the tunnel, causing more creatures to attack, but Archer summoned his
Shadow Creatures, who decimated the enemy. Ellie was shocked and questioned as they continued walking, "What are we looking for, brother? And how long will it take?" [Drop some powerstones, comments, and gifts to help the novel grow; I appreciate all the support you can give]
