A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 358: The Nether Realm (9)


Archer ordered the Tarrasques to return to their homes and to answer his roar when they heard it. They all nodded before running off. He watched them vanish before taking off to go hunting again.

He sent a message to Llyniel. ''Going hunting for a bit.''

Archer took off and started hunting the Netherbeasts while subjugating even more of them this time around. After a few hours, he was sitting in a clearing still in his dragon form as he crushed a gorilla-looking creature into a bloody pulp.

He felt all the experience pour into him as he relaxed but soon started flying back to the cabin to chill out. When Llyniel saw him, a big smile appeared on her face as he descended and returned to his humanoid form.

She greeted him with a hug before they made their way into the cabin. Weeks passed as he kept leveling up and collecting even more Netherbeasts for his army. Archer hated being separated from his girls, but he knew all he had to do was hunt to return, so he did that with a passion.

His temper worsened until he started taking it out on the local Nightbeasts who grew to fear him. They began to avoid his mountain, allowing Llyniel to start a large garden and spend her days getting to know him.

That's when weeks stretched into months as he grew in level. He still couldn't cast Gate, but he didn't give up.

[Six months later]

Archer was sitting on top of a different mountain that he flattened out to make it comfortable for his large form. During these months, he leveled up his Dragon Form twice and is now an imposing thirty-five meters long and thirty meters tall.

Archer opened his eyes and saw far into the distance. There was a horde of rare Netherbeasts rushing at him. He yawned as he stood up and cast Blink.

He vanished from the mountaintop and appeared before the horde, forcing them to halt their march. Archer looked at them and let his Dragon Aura do the job for him. When the Netherbeasts felt this, they became scared.

But he presented them with the same deal he'd offered every other beast he'd encountered, which led the horde to quickly accept. After that, Archer decided to fly home and see how Llyniel was doing.

She has been busy in her garden and training her nature magic. With a flap of his massive wings, he took off and returned to the mountaintop. Before he got close, he returned to his humanoid form and descended into the garden.

He saw the little elf whom he had grown very fond of. Archer cared about her, and she always fussed over him to ensure he was okay. Even when he was away for days, she would send him constant messages to ensure he was not hungry or tired.

Archer just watched as she tended to some flowers she had grown herself. She was singing an elven song, which relaxed him. Once Llyniel was done, she stood up and turned around, a bright smile on her pretty face, as she spoke in a sweet voice. ''Hello Arch. How was the hunting?''

A warm smile appeared on his face as he observed the gentle curve of her lips, those delightful dimples accentuating her cheeks. Lost in the moment, he was momentarily entranced until he shook his head free from the trance.

"It went well," he replied, his tone filled with optimism. "I'll go check on it now; after all, I haven't done so in months."

She nodded. ''It was for the best, but it wasn't doing you any good. You were getting angrier every time I checked.''

He agreed with her and walked into the cozy cabin. After a while, Archer slumped onto the sofa and checked his stats.

His eyes opened wide when he saw all his gains and smiled shortly after Archer started spending his Status Points. He put them all into mana. After doing that, he checked his new mana.

[Mana: 150000>212,430]

Pleased with the results, he lay down and slowly fell asleep. By the time night came, Llyniel came in from the garden. She noticed that he was sleeping and slowly approached him. Llyniel looked down at his sleeping face.

Llyniel leaned forward and planted a kiss on his forehead. As she did that, her cheeks went red, and she stopped and ran off to her bedroom. But as she fled, Archer's eyes opened with a smile. He heard the door close before he went back to sleep.

The following day, he was woken up by the smell of meat. He opened his eyes before sitting up and saw Llyniel making breakfast. She turned to him with a smile before talking. ''Good morning, Arch. Breakfast is ready.''

Archer chuckled at her happy greeting and made his way over to the table to sit down. She placed a plate with bacon and eggs on it when he did. Before eating, he asked, ''Do you still have a lot of food in your storage ring?''

Llyniel giggled before answering in a happy voice. ''Yes. I have enough to last us years if needed. Mother made sure I was well prepared.''

He nodded as he started eating the food. For the last six months, he enjoyed Llyniel's cooking and looked forward to it every day. Not long after they were finished, Archer made his way outside.

As she started cleaning up, Archer wanted to try the Gate again. He gave up on casting it but still tried, and shockingly, it opened but quickly sputtered out. That's when he realized he would soon have enough mana to return home and got excited.

Archer summoned his wings and took off to kill more Netherbeasts. But this time around, he only killed a few hundred and subdued thousands more. Once he hunted a little bit, he sat on the branch of a dead tree.

He was working out the number of Netherbeasts under his command and guessed it was in the millions as he had been doing it constantly for months. Worry tugged at Archer's thoughts, concern for the girls he cared deeply about gnawing at the edges of his mind.

However, he held fast, knowing they would be just fine. Still, the desire to see them again weighed on him. Yet, his spirits swiftly lifted as he reminded himself that the day of their reunion was drawing near.

That's when he heard a spine-tingling roar in the distance close to his and Llyniel's mountain. He panicked and cast Gate to the cabin. When he entered the portal, he saw Llyniel fighting some shadow-looking creatures as the Stone Men kept the bigger Netherbeasts busy.

Archer quickly cast Celestial Beams at the shadows, which destroyed them instantly when the bright beam slammed into them. Once that was done, he cast Stone Wardens and summoned hundreds more. Archer ordered them to reinforce the other Stone Men down the mountain.

But that still wasn't enough, so he got an idea. Archer stood back and took a deep breath before letting out an earth-shaking roar. He was summoning his new army, but for a few seconds, nothing happened until all different roars could be heard.

Llyniel heard this and was shocked as she made her way over to Archer. She asked in a shocked voice. ''How many beasts have you collected since we have been here?''

Archer looked at her with a grin before answering. ''I don't know. Maybe a million or more, I wasn't counting.''

That's when a massive flock of birds appeared and swooped down on the giant creatures. They attacked them and dodged when the Nethergiants swung their fists. After that, a horde of ants burrowed up from the ground and brought the giants to the ground as they swarmed over them.

The ants ripped the giant's flesh off the skin before killing them. Archer and Llyniel just watched the battle unfold. All different Netherbeasts swarmed over the shadow creatures and pinned them down while others got the giants to kneel.

When Archer saw this a big smile appeared on his face as he took to the air and looked over the mountainside. He spoke to all the subdued creatures. ''Die or serve me like the others. Your choice.''

The struggling beasts shuddered when they heard his voice, but they all agreed and joined his monster army. That's when he remembered that he had three Hydra eggs in his Item Box to hatch, and he decided to hatch them when he returned home.
