A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1109: Want To Come Along



Once Archer was done kissing Darla, he climbed out of the car with the older woman as she spoke, "I will text you once I sort the kids out, babe. Is that okay?"

He nodded in agreement before she walked toward the entrance, and when the blonde vanished, he teleported to the Domain. Archer reappeared on the balcony of the treehouse as the sun was setting.

While standing there, Mavis appeared with a smile and asked, respectfully, "Is there anything I can do for you, master?"

Archer turned to the Brownie and said, "Bring me as much ale as you can; I want to drink while watching the sunset."

The tiny creature gave a quick nod before vanishing into thin air. With a weary sigh, Archer sank into a nearby, comfortable chair, letting its warmth and softness surround him. He closed his eyes and reached out with his senses as he relaxed.

That's when he notices the familiar presence of Ashoka, Nyx, and Maeve, training diligently below.

'Good,' he thought with a faint smile. 'They're taking my warning seriously.'

While watching them, Mavis suddenly reappeared and dropped a barrel of ale next to him, which made Archer laugh as he thanked the creature, "Thank you. Now take a break."

The Brownie nodded as she vanished just as he started drinking while watching the three women fighting down below. While resting, he expanded the domain until it was the size of Earth.

He soon felt his mana running low, a dull ache signaling he was low on mana. Archer closed his eyes, focusing inward, and slowly felt the familiar rush of energy as mana began to flow back into his body.

But exhaustion settled in as Archer continued to push himself, expanding his mana even further. He tried to fight it, but his vision blurred, and his limbs grew heavy until finally, he collapsed while succumbing to mana fatigue.

The world faded into darkness, and his last thought was a quiet vow to be more careful with his limits next time. Archer was sleeping comfortably on the chair as the women finished training.

Ashoka stepped onto the balcony and smiled at the sight of him fast asleep. Gently, she took out a blanket, draped it over him, and whispered in a caring voice, "Rest well you sleepy dragon."

The tiger woman retreated into the treehouse as the weather grew harsher, leaving Archer sheltered beneath the sturdy roof above him. Hours later, he stirred with a quiet yawn, noticing the moon still hanging high in the night sky.

'Why am I always waking up so early?' he wondered, shaking his head with a hint of frustration.

After stretching, he felt a series of satisfying cracks ripple down his spine, prompting a relieved sigh. Quietly, he made his way into the dimly lit treehouse, where the three women lay sound asleep, their soft breaths the only sounds in the stillness.

Deciding to use the quiet, he set about preparing tea and breakfast. With practiced ease, he used Mana Manipulation to heat the water, reaching for a cup as steam began to rise, filling the air with a warm, comforting scent.

With his tea brewed and toast ready, Archer sank onto a nearby sofa, letting out a contented sigh. Midnight sprang onto his lap, playfully nipping at his ears. The unexpected sensation sent a shiver down his spine, stirring up memories of his time with Sera.

"What are you doing, girl? Why are you attacking me?" he asked the fluffball in an amused voice, but the little creature ignored his question while biting him.

Midnight let out an adorable little growl, but Archer smiled and continued to eat his toast, unfazed by her antics. Eventually, she calmed down, curling up on his lap and giving his cheek a gentle lick, which made him smile warmly.

After finishing his tea and breakfast, he leaned back to rest, taking a deep breath as he gradually expanded the boundaries of his Domain, letting its mana flow further into the quiet surroundings.

Archer kept pushing his mana until it was fully depleted, leaving him in a daze. Midnight's soft licks helped him regain his focus, and he looked down to see her gazing up with a gentle

meow.

Smiling, he scratched her under the chin and asked, "Want to come along?"

She responded with another cheerful meow, making him chuckle. With a final pat, he gathered his strength and teleported them both to Isabella's house before taking off to another national park.

Archer soared high above the East Coast, the vast stretch of ocean glistening beneath him, contrasting with the greenery that blanketed the land. The crisp wind whipped around him as The flew past cities, weaving between clouds.

Eventually, a national park came into view, its forests stretching as far as he could see, untouched and lush. Spotting a secluded clearing between towering trees and a winding river, he angled downward, gliding gracefully through the canopy.

With a soft thud, he landed amidst the quiet, surrounded by the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant calls of wildlife. Archer heard all kinds of animals that put Midnight on edge, but he reassured the cat, "Don't worry, girl, I'm the biggest monster in this place. The hidden ones won't come close."'

She meowed before jumping off his shoulder and exploring the clearing, but he noticed the sneaky figures watching him. 'It looks like cryptids are a thing. I wonder what people would think,' The thought with a curious expression.

Archer quickly noticed the hairy humanoid creatures lurking just out of sight, though he could sense each one. His gaze shifted to Midnight, who was playfully batting at leaves by a tree, unaware of one of the creatures creeping up behind her.

He waved his hand and gently lifted the cat into the air and out of harm's way, bringing her safely back to his side while speaking, "Be careful, girl, they are getting close."'

The fluffy ball of panic leaped into Archer's lap, seeking refuge. Sensing the encroaching danger, he quickly cast a Cosmic Shield around them, its shimmering barrier enveloping them in a protective glow.

'What the fuck do they want? Is this why so many people vanish in these places?' he pondered, realizing they had him surrounded.

Archer chuckled, as it didn't worry him, but he had a surprise for them. He contacted Vivienne through the Domain, "Do you have some assassin I can borrow my ant queen?"

Seconds later, a silky smooth voice echoed in his mind, 'Of course, Master. I can send them now?'

'Yes,' he replied while opening a portal in the nearby shadows as several figures shot out like bullets and vanished into the nearby trees.

Archer grinned when hearing this, but Vivienne continued, 'You have full control over them; my children already know I'm going to mark you as mine, so they will listen.'

'Marked me?' he replied with a raised eyebrow.

The ant queen said she'd explain when he visited next, which caused Archer to sigh, 'You

sneaky woman.'

Following that, he ordered the Nightmare Assassin Ants to capture the surrounding cryptids before getting back to wasting his mana. Half an hour later, several crashes were heard as the Bigfoots appeared just outside the shield.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Archer's grin widened as he dismissed the barrier, setting Midnight gently back on the ground before striding toward the downed creatures. In a swift motion, he appeared beside the

largest one, pressing his foot firmly against its neck.

The creature thrashed, trying to escape, but his grip was unbreakable. Realizing it was

hopeless, the creature stilled, glaring up at him. Archer leaned in, his voice cold yet mocking, "Why were you watching me?" he asked, his tone sharp. "And were you planning to make a

meal out of my fluff ball?"

'Strange human, why do you have pointy ears?' a young woman's voice echoed in his mind.

Archer removed his foot while letting out a deep growl that rumbled through the forest. He replied, "I'm not a human. I may look like one, but I assure you that I'm not."

The Bigfoot-like creature stood up and towered over him, but he wasn't bothered as it spoke, 'I can see that now. What are you doing so deep in the forest?'

"Look around me and tell me what you see," Archer responded with a grin. "If you call this place your home, then you will know."

That's when the surrounding creatures glanced around with wide black eyes before falling silent. While they did this, Midnight rushed around the clearing as the Bigfoots now left her

alone.

"The trees are alive like they used to be many moons ago, and the soil is fresh,' the Bigfoot creature muttered before looking at him, 'What did you do?'

Archer chuckled at the creature's shocked expression before explaining, "I healed the land from all the damage humans have caused. Now, why were you trying to attack me?"

The Bigfoot creature looked into his eyes while answering honestly, 'We wanted to take you

back to our people who would have eaten you.'
