A Journey That Changed The World.
388 The Goldhaven Bank
When Archer got closer to the city he descended to the ground and started walking toward it.
He hid his dragon features to make himself look human as he got closer to the city gates and was blocked by a tall guard.
The soldier spoke in a gruff voice as he eyed Archer. ''What are you doing here boy? Don't you know that a war is happening?''
Archer laughed before answering. ''Of course, I know there's a war going on. But that doesn't mean work stops does it?''
The soldier looked at him with narrowed eyes before nodding and letting him pass as he spoke. ''Don't commit any crimes and behave yourself while visiting.''
When Archer heard that he gave the soldier a smile that sent chills down the man's back as he walked into the city to bankrupt the kingdom.
Archer started exploring the city and saw many sights that he enjoyed. As he was walking down a back street he saw a bookshop.
He quickly entered it and looked at all the spells before an old feminine voice reached his ears. ''You're hiding something boy. I can sense this horrible dread coming from you.''
Archer turned around to see an old lady shuffling into the store from a back door followed by a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
He looked at them and grew curious as he asked. ''What do you mean human?''
The old woman looked into his violet eyes before commenting. ''You are not evil but not wholly good. You're Aura reeks of death.''
When she finished the young man finally spoke. ''What do you want?''
Archer looked at him before answering. ''I want all your spellbooks.''
Their eyes widened in shock as the old woman spoke. ''That will be one thousand five hundred gold coins, young man.''
After she spoke Archer took out a pouch full of gold coins and gave it to the young man before collecting all the books.
He stored them in his Item Box before asking. ''Old woman. Where is the city bank? I want to deposit some coins.''
The young man spoke up. ''Turn left when you exit, continue walking for half an hour and you will see it, young master.''
Archer nodded at the two before leaving but as he made his way to the door he heard the old woman comment. ''Close the shop. We are leaving boy.''
Once he stepped out of the shop he felt the snow hit his face as he made his way toward the bank to retrieve his stored treasure.
After walking for a little while, he entered a potion shop to buy ingredients for Hecate. Archer entered and the smell of potions and wild plants hit his nose.
He looked around the shop and saw a short fat man standing behind the counter creating a potion.
Archer walked over to him and spoke. ''Excuse me. I want to buy everything in your shop. How much will that be?''
The shop owner ruined his potion by tumbling around before looking up at Archer who just stood there before replying. ''I don't know young man. There are many things for sale here.''
''I got time, just tell me a price and I'm willing to pay, it's for one of my wives who loves making potions and is opening her own shop,'' Archer replied.
The man nodded his head and started rubbing his grey beard as he quoted a price. ''I'd say two thousand eight hundred coins, young man.''
Archer took out the coins and gave them to him before speaking. ''Pack it up and I'll store it away.''
The shopkeeper nodded his head and called out for his family to come help him and in a couple hours, everything was packed.
He stored it all away before leaving the shop and made his way to the bank. When he approached he saw loads of guards standing around.
Archer walked up to the gate and was stopped by the guard but knowing what was inside he quickly cast Soul Sunder in the man's face.
The spell tore his soul to pieces while the other guards looked on in horror but Archer opened a portal and summoned a rare Netherbeast he collected.
They stepped out of the violet portal and looked at the horrified soldiers. The largest Netherbeast approached him and nudged its head against him.
Archer stroked it before scanning the beast.
[Barghests]
[Rank: AA+]
These malevolent creatures, with their sleek, dark fur and fiery, malevolent eyes, stood at attention, awaiting their master's command.
They stood as tall as a man and resembled a wolf but were twisted into a nightmarish form that Archer managed to tame.
Archer's lips curled into a wicked smile as he directed them with a wave of his hand.
"Go," he hissed, his voice dripping with malice, "attack the bank. Create chaos and kill all the soldiers."
The Barghests who were completely loyal to him, obeyed without hesitation.
With a sinister howl, they descended upon the bank, their presence sending fear and panic rippling through the unsuspecting city.
Meanwhile, Archer strolled into the grandiose bank building, its imposing architecture a symbol of wealth and security.
Archer watched as the
Entering the bank, the shrill mins alarm sounded, but it was futile. Archer's Mana Manipulation already pierced the vault's defenses.
He confidently approached the huge iron doors, excitement gleaming in his eyes. A simple wave of his hand made the doors swing open, revealing a wealth of treasures.
A wicked laugh escaped his lips as he looked at the riches, there was a mountain of gold coins and barrels full of precious gems off to the side.
Archer strolled into the vault as he heard the screams of dying people as the Barghests ran wild.
They took out all the soldiers in no time before they stood at the entrance and started eating the bodies while guarding while he was looting the vaults.
Archer knew that the Goldenvale Kingdom was a very wealthy realm thanks to their trade and abundance of different mines.
The empire has tried to invade many times but the kingdom hires an army of mercenaries and blocks the way north.
But Archer would shatter the kingdom from the inside out, by starting with their capital and then would raid the trading cities.
He counted over a dozen vaults so he needed help and cast Stone Warden.
Archer summoned hundreds of Stone Men and ordered them to ransack the vaults and bring him the loot after opening each one.
After that, he went back to the one he was in and started storing the treasures. Once he was done with that he cast Mana Manipulaton to create a comfortable chair.
He lay down as he watched the Stone Men bring in piles of treasure which they dumped in front of him.
Archer cast Aura Detector and received hundreds of pings causing him to jump up. He cast Gate and appeared outside before summoning the Barghests.
They surrounded him as he informed them that enemies were incoming, he ordered them to hide and surprise attack them when he gave the signal.
The Barghests nodded and hid in the shadows before waiting for Archer. As they did that he summoned more Netherbeasts which were fit for fighting, Tarrasques.
Archer opened a large portal and the Tarrasques rushed out and took over the bank's courtyard.
Once the soldiers poured through the entrance they all came to an instant stop. Archer smiled when he saw this before ordering the Tarrasque to attack.
He then ordered them to attack the rest of the city while only targeting soldiers unless the citizens got in their way.
The city of Goldhaven, once a place of prosperity and commerce, now lay in chaos as the Tarrasques descended upon its unsuspecting defenders.
They caused the ground to shake beneath their forms as they slammed into the ranks of soldiers, their armored scales proving nearly impervious to weapons.
With gaping maws lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth, the monstrous creatures tore through the ranks, devouring soldiers and causing panic to spread like wildfire.
Archer, the mastermind behind this assault, watched with a cruel satisfaction as chaos unfolded.
He raised a hand, and his voice carried a malevolent command that echoed through the ranks of the Tarrasques.
"Eat them all!" he ordered, his words sending shivers down the spines of those who heard them.
The Tarrasques, driven by an insatiable hunger continued their relentless onslaught, devouring every soldier in their path.
The city streets ran red with blood, and the cries of the wounded and dying filled the air.
But Archer's plans extended beyond mere destruction. He called forth the Stone Men, to collect the hearts of the fallen soldiers.
They moved with cold efficiency, extracting the still-beating hearts from the fallen with methodical precision.
As the chaos raged on, Archer's forces executed his scheme with ruthless determination as he walked back into the bank.
Archer saw a massive pile of treasure that he quickly stored it all away in his Item Box before checking on the other vaults.
He cleaned out the Goldhaven bank before leaving the building and heard roars all over the city as the Tarrasques caused chaos.
