Archer saw the attackers targetting the wood elf and quickly grabbed her instead of casting Null Void, and then everything went black. The next thing he saw was a blood-red sky as he was falling from the sky. He spread his wings, but the explosion ruined them as he protected her.

As they fell, he hugged the elf closer to him as he crashed into a mountain, causing a landslide. The two were buried, but Llyniel managed to create a hollow for them as they were covered. Archer was injured, and one of his wings was damaged.

She panicked and started casting a healing spell. A warm feeling washed over Archer, compelling him to let out a happy sigh as he felt his body repairing her magic washed over him.

He sat up and looked around to see a round cacoon surrounding them. He looked at the little elf sitting there, looking at him with worry in her eyes. Archer smiled as he stood up and dismissed his wings to stretch his arms.

When he was done with that, he activated Aura Detector and was shocked with the results. Hundreds of pings were above them, and some were circling them. He became worried as he also had Llyniel to look after.

He turned to her and asked. ''Can you use your magic to build these shelters often? And is there any way for you to see the outside?''

She nodded her head and spoke in a worried voice. ''Yes, it doesn't take too much mana, and I can create a vine to see out and create a mana screen for us to see if that is good?''

Archer smiled as he replied in a reassuring voice. ''That's perfect. Now do that while I sit down for a second.''

Llyniel smiled and started casting a spell while Archer sent a message to the girls.

[Are you girls okay? Me and Llyniel have been sent to an unknown land, and I don't have enough mana to get home yet, but will work on leveling up before trying again]

Upon sending it, he sensed a large amount of mana leave him, more so than usual, spurring him to look at his mana.

[Mana: 20000/60000]

Getting annoyed, he tried casting Gate and opening a portal to the domain, but nothing happened as it sputtered out. Archer started to think and concluded they were sent somewhere, and he didn't have enough mana to return.

He tried summoning the girls, but the tattoos or bracelets didn't work, and he figured out that it was this realm that caused them to fail. That's when his Aura Detector pings increased, causing him to look up and see dust falling from the ceiling.

''Archer, it's ready, but it looks really bad.'' She commented as he stood next to her.

He saw numerous large shapes charging around above them. Archer thought for a little while until he turned to Llyniel and spoke. ''Stay here until the beasts are gone, then come up.''

Llyniel's eyes widened, but she quickly protested. ''What are you doing? You will get hurt if you go out there.''

Archer smiled as he replied. ''I will be fine. But we need to get out of here. We can't hide in here for long as the others are alone.''

She reluctantly nodded before Archer vanished from the hideaway and reappeared above ground. When he materialized, it was dark, and the land he saw was full of dead trees and piles of bones.

It stretched like a nightmarish canvas draped in eerie, supernatural stillness. The air thickened with oppressive silence, interrupted solely by an occasional, mournful howl from a distant wind.

The terrain was desolate, with crumbling ruins, their skeletal remnants protruding from the earth like the bones of some long-forgotten civilization. Cracked and broken statues of long-forgotten gods stood sentinel, their features worn away by the relentless passage of time.

The sky above was a sickly shade of gray, with roiling clouds that seemed to ooze darkness rather than rain. No sun graced this bleak realm, casting the land in perpetual twilight. Archer shivered, feeling like the atmosphere conspired to send a chill down his spine.

That's when he saw grotesque shapes emerge from the shadows, their monstrous forms contorted and twisted by the cruel hand of mutation. These creatures were unlike anything he had ever seen before, horrific amalgamations of flesh and bone, their grotesque bodies towering over him.

Their unnerving, guttural growls filled the air as the creatures surrounded Archer. Their eyes gleamed with an eerie, malevolent light, and their misshapen limbs twitched with unnatural energy.

In the face of this nightmarish assembly. His heart raced as he steeled himself for the battle about to unfold. The grotesque creatures closed in on all fours, and their distorted mouths contorted into wicked smiles.

But before they could get any closer, Archer grinned as he whispered. ''Draco.''

A bright light blinded all the creatures circling him as he transformed into his dragon form and let out an earth-shattering roar. Before the creatures could react, he used his claws to crush the closest ones as he took a deep breath and let out a stream of violet fire that washed over many of the things.

Archer went to work with teeth, claws, tails, and flames to slaughter the creatures who kept coming. The battle could be heard for miles as the horrifying creatures were sent flying or bitten in half.

As he was slaughtering them, Llyniel watched from before in shock as she saw a massive white dragon going on a rampage. Archer swung his claws at the incoming creatures, turning them into blood mist.

That's when he saw a large group charging at him. He took a deep breath and fired his dragon's breath into the creatures, turning them ash. When he did that, the remaining ones looked shocked. They looked at him as Archer decided to scan the beast.

[Netherbeast (Chimera)]

[Rank A+]

The creatures Rank shocked him, but he looked at them and spoke in a deep voice. ''Die or serve me.''

When the Netherbeasts heard him, they looked taken aback, but all nodded, pleasing Archer as he commanded them. ''Go to your homes and wait for my roar, then return to me.''

They howled before running off into the distance. As Archer saw this, he returned to his humanoid form and called for Llyniel, who returned to the surface looking scared.

Archer smiled when he saw the little wood elf and spoke calmly. ''Hello, Llyniel. Everything is okay for now.''

She looked up at him with a smile before she answered as she looked around. ''Where are we? Nature is twisted and full of evil, but it's still here.''

The two started walking as his Aura Detector picked up a ping in the distance and turned to face it. There, just ahead, he glimpsed a deformed humanoid creature, hunched and twisted, its form hideous and unsettling.

The creature appeared strong, its misshapen limbs bulging with unnatural power. It seemed to be watching them, its malevolent gaze fixed upon him. Archer couldn't make out its features clearly but could sense its hostility.

Before he could react, the deformed creature let out a guttural growl, a sound that sent a shiver down their spines. The creature vanished in the blink of an eye, melting into the shadows as if it had never been there.

Archer shook his head, and the two continued walking as he checked his status.

[Experience: 1500/20000]

[Level Up: 462>467]

[Sp: 0>10]

He decided to save up his Status Points and upgrade his mana so he could go home. After checking, he saw mountains in the distance. They headed toward it so Llyniel, who wasn't a fighter, could use her magic to create a bunker.

Archer felt something grab his hand as they walked, and he looked down to see Llyniel holding his hand as she looked around. That's when he picked up more attacks and cast Cosmic Shield on Llyniel to protect her.

He pumped more mana into it to ensure her safety as he finished. Archer turned to the incoming threats and saw a horde charging at them. So he cast Azur Cannon into the creatures.

Above him, a radiant violet glow intensified and erupted into the approaching crowd, triggering a colossal explosion reverberating through the earth. But more creatures appeared, forcing Archer to transform into his dragon form and take them out before they swamped the shield.

Archer looked down and sat next to Llyniel, who looked at him confused before he spoke. ''Jump on my head and hold on.''

She nodded before jumping up to his head and getting comfortable. Once she was up, she tightly held onto one of his horns. But to make things safer, Archer cast Mana Manipulation and created a safe place for her to be while he fought.

When Llyniel was fine, he got to work and butchered all the creatures, leaving none alive. After the fight, he stood there looking around. That was when he sensed an incoming attack and raised his wings to defend himself.
