A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1026: Thanks For Saving Us



After the dust cleared, Archer noticed it was pitch black, but a tunnel led north, which was the only way he could go. With that decided, he started walking through the darkness and

readying himself for a fight.

'Hopefully, I can deal with the base before moving on to the other ones.'

He didn't come across anything until feeling a rumble coming from the tunnel. Archer thought with a raised eyebrow, "I wonder what monsters they are sending against me now." After thinking that, he saw hundreds of Blightborn and Ratlings charging toward him. This brought a smile to his face before summoning thousands of Shadow Creatures. He quickly ordered them to attack the incoming monsters.

'Let's start using these to level them up,' he pondered with a knowing smile.

The shadow wave rushed past him and met the Swarm head-on in a highly one-sided, fierce battle. He watched his creature tear the enemy apart with no effort but wouldn't let them have all the fun, so he cast Blink to appear in the middle of the horde.

When Archer reappeared, the monsters were surprised, but he pounced at the closest creature and sliced it into several pieces using his claws before taking a deep breath and letting out a stream of violet flames that washed over the horde.

With the combined efforts of Archer and the Shadow Creatures, the Swarm's horde was swiftly defeated. He collected the fallen creatures into his Item Box, planning to feed them to his Monster Army when visiting the Domain.

'I wonder how the Hydra sisters are doing,' Archer wandered.

Once he completed this task, he continued through the tunnel until he emerged into a vast underground cavern. In the distance, he could see a massive fortress, its imposing silhouette standing against the cavern's expanse.

'Looks like that is the Terravian base,' he thought while jumping off the ledge.

Archer crashed into the ground with a boom as his Shadow Creatures rushed down the side of the cavern wall. When he looked around, hundreds of Ratlings and other horrifying monsters rushed toward him.

"These will be useful in dealing with many enemies.'

He smiled before casting Plasma Missiles and an eldritch blast, which slammed into the horde and caused explosions to erupt all over the battlefield. Following that, Archer ordered his creatures to attack with a wave of his hand.

They charged while letting out creepy echoes or howls. As that happened, he summoned hundreds more as the original ones clashed with the Swarm. Once the battle was underway, Archer slaughtered hundreds of Blightborns, Ratlings, and other creatures.

Blood splattered the ground as piles of corpses appeared all over the place. He was sucking them all into his Item Box while letting out a stream of flames that forced the horde back as his Shadow Creatures washed over them.

An hour passed as Archer and his monsters continued to cut down the Swarm, driving them deeper into the cavern. His smile widened at their retreat as he walked through the darkness.

'I can still feel the experience pouring into my body like a never-ending stream,' he thought as excitement rose inside him.

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and giant snake-like beasts emerged, charging toward him. Archer's grin grew as he channeled mana into his fist. As one of the creatures lunged at him, he sidestepped gracefully and delivered a powerful punch.

The beast's massive body exploded from the sheer force of his attack. Blood covered everything as more appeared, but the Shadow Creatures quickly attacked them. He watched as the Swarm's weapons were destroyed.

While walking, Archer decides to eat the souls of the Terravian as the creepy monsters stop attacking and flee back into the darkness. He then continued traveling until he reached the fortress.

"Attack everything inside and don't kill them," he told his creatures. "I want to eat their soul to get information.

Once Archer gave out his orders, the swarm of Shadow Creatures rushed toward the walls, but a spell activated, causing a bright light to wash over the cavern, which decimated his army and annoyed him.

"They are finding ways to fight back,' he thought in annoyance.

When all his creatures were sent back to where they came from, Archer started casting Eldritch Blast that slammed into the fortress walls. Explosions rang out, but he didn't stop before casting hundreds of Plasma Missiles.

Archer sent them slicing through the air and peppered the defenders, which sent them flying off the wall. He continued trading spells with the Swarm, but thanks to Anti Magic, none of them did damage.

'I wonder how many of these bases they have across Earth,' he pondered. 'I'll find out eventually.' As Archer got closer, something rushed toward him, landing a devastating punch on his chin. He felt his head move, and blood poured into his mouth before countering by blasting the Terravian away.

"This is going to be tougher than usual,' he pondered while glancing at all the enemies. 'I'll have to use my magic as well.'

Following that, several Demi-Gods charged out of the fortress and started attacking Archer with multiple attacks, causing him to go on the defensive. He used a Cosmic Shield to block most attacks while concentrating on one enemy at a time.

He dashed forward and punched through one of the Terravian's chests, causing the others to back off. Archer chuckled before crushing the creature's heart before attacking, using his claws to tear through the flesh.

However, he felt it rattle him whenever one of their attacks landed. Archer quickly backed off as a few more Demi-Gods appeared before trying to fight him hand to hand, but thanks to being a dragon, he overwhelmed them while receiving some injuries.

Archer felt the poison from the creatures seeping into his body, but Lucrezia's blood magic swiftly expelled it, and his Regeneration ability began healing his wounds. He stood up with a sigh, then continued toward the fortress.

As he neared the large metal gate, he unleashed his dragon's breath, melting the gate into molten fragments and sending the creatures behind it into a panic. Entering the fortress, his eyes locked onto a portal at the far end.

Without hesitation, Archer cast Blink to close the distance, but just as he reached the portal, it disappeared, leaving him irritated. Frustration quickly turned to action as he unleashed his fury, destroying and killing everything related to the Swarm in his path.

As Archer made his way through the tunnels, he discovered a few more Terravians; he quickly eliminated them before returning to the entrance. Soaring out of the hole, he suddenly dodged a net that attempted to trap him.

'What the hell was that?' he thought, glancing around cautiously. Seeing nothing, he shrugged it off and opened a Gate to Alexa's house, stepping through.

On the other side, he reappeared in the familiar surroundings and immediately noticed Grace working out in the garden. Archer watched as she lifted weights while an older woman

screamed stuff at her.

Archer approached the outdoor gym, pausing to admire Grace as she trained, preparing for her upcoming fight. Minutes passed before she finished her set, and her green eyes widened in surprise when she glanced in his direction.

Without hesitation, the short-haired woman jumped up and rushed over to him. Archer smiled as he hugged her, feeling the strength in her well-built frame. Grace happily embraced him, her voice bright with excitement. "Arch! It's so good to see you love! Are you still

coming with me?"

Archer nodded, smiling. "Of course. When was it again?"

''Three days,'' Grace answered and was about to speak, but the older woman cut her off.

"Is this the boyfriend you've been telling me about?" the woman asked sternly. Archer turned to face her, meeting the gaze of a tall, slender woman with sharp, hawk-like eyes peering at him as if he were some creature. Her intense stare made it clear she was sizing

him up.

He didn't let her bother him before looking down where Grace was blushing as she turned around and replied to her trainer, "Yes, Brenda. This is Archer Wyldheart."

The woman turned to him and suggested, "Stop distracting her. She has an important fight coming up and can't afford to ruin that."

Archer nodded in understanding before kissing Grace goodbye. Afterward, he entered the mansion only to run into the eldest daughter, 'Abby,' he thought while admiring the older woman he had a crush on when he was younger.

She stood as tall as Archer, resembling a more mature version of Alexa with a more slender frame and a smaller chest. Surprised, His eyes widened as he thought, 'She's only gotten betterNôv(el)B\\jnn

with time.'

Abby suddenly stopped in front of him, her intense gaze unwavering. Without a word, she extended her hand. "Thank you for saving us, Archer."

Her unexpected gratitude left him momentarily stunned. Seeing his reaction, she laughed

softly before clarifying, "Mom and Lexi told me everything."

Archer smiled as he took her hand and replied, "You're welcome, Abby."
