A Journey That Changed The World.

When hearing the request, the girls asked Kassandra to show them to the Shadow Shark girl. Kassandra's gaze swept across the bustling crowd, her eyes scanning until they alighted upon the elusive figure.

''She's wearing the black and white dress with the Mitiril armor,'' Kassandra answered as she pointed at a girl across the arena.

Archer looked at a youthful girl sitting among the spectators. She had snow-white skin much like his own, highlighted by a waterfall of dark blue hair framing her face.

He noticed her eyes were devoid of human warmth and bore the fierce intensity of a predator fixed on the unfolding spectacle in the arena. Despite her delicate features, an unmistakable aura of a hunter emanated from her.

Archer couldn't help but notice her muscular build and well-defined figure. He sensed the rad power radiating from her. As his gaze lingered on the girl, she turned to him, her lips curving into a playful smile.

She blew him a kiss, a gesture that caught him off guard, sending a shiver down his spine. Then, the girl vanished into thin air. The sudden disappearance shook Archer, leaving him momentarily stunned.

He didn't know where she went and what sort of magic she used, but he could see the remains of the mana she had used. Before he could fully understand what had happened, the girl reappeared out of nowhere, standing right in front of him.

Her sudden reappearance startled Archer and the surrounding girls, who gasped in surprise. With lightning speed, the girl grabbed his hand, her touch sending a jolt of electricity through him.

Without a word, she pulled him close, her eyes sparkling mischievously, before vanishing again, this time with Archer in tow. The girls watched in astonishment as the two figures disappeared into the ether, leaving only a faint whisper of their presence behind.

Once they had disappeared, all eyes turned to Kassandra, who shrugged. "Shadow Sharks are peculiar creatures. If they take a liking to someone, they'll go to great lengths to earn their approval. But if they harbor hate towards someone, they'd rather devour them."

Teuila nodded in understanding and spoke. ''He'll be back before Sera's fight.''

The girl in question was still downing the wine she had taken from the restaurant and started to feel slightly tipsy, which no one saw. Sera snickered and knew she would win her fight even if drunk.

Meanwhile, Archer and the Shadow Shark girl reappeared on a random shoreline. He looked around and spoke in a curious tone. ''You traveled by shadows?''

The girl turned around and nodded before introducing herself in an exotic accent that was new to him. ''My name is Demetra Shadowborne. The fifteenth princess of the Shadowborne Empire.''

Archer's gaze intensified as he observed the girl, taking in every detail with newfound curiosity. Her dark blue hair framed a face dominated by bright yellow shark-like eyes, intensifying his attention.

As she smiled, revealing a row of fierce-looking teeth, Archer noticed gill-like structures beneath her pointed ears, adding to her mysterious allure. He had to admit that this girl was gorgeous.

When seeing his eyes roaming all over, it caused a big grin to appear on her face, and she spoke in a sultry voice. ''If you keep eyeing me like that white dragon, I will have to drag you into a cave and mate with you. Us sharks love strong partners, and without your blocker, you would be even more powerful than me.''

He grinned and inquired curiously, ''That can come later, but why did you bring me here?''

Demetra said, "I think there's something you'd like. I felt it when we arrived, and as I saw you, I knew you would come with me."

Archer's curiosity intensified as he scanned their surroundings. Behind them lay a vast expanse of dense forest, while ahead stretched the rugged sea, its waters turbulent and wild.

Looking back at the predator-like girl who was staring at him, he nodded. ''Okay, lead the way. But I can't swim in my dragon form.''

She smiled and jumped into the sea, transforming into a huge demon-like shark. Its skin was navy blue, and its eyes were bigger than his. Her fins were as large as a sailship, and her body was twice the size of his dragon form.

When Archer saw this, he felt the power coming from her and realized he was only slightly stronger. As he was looking at the shark girl, he heard her voice in his mind. ''Jump on and get comfortable. You'll love the view while I swim.''

He chuckled before hopping onto her large back and settling on her dorsal fin. When Archer did that, he felt some magic enveloping him, which puzzled him until she explained. "It's a spell to give you air to breathe and will keep you on my back."

As Archer got comfortable, the sea roared and churned around them, the waves crashing against each other ferociously. The wind howled, whipping salty spray into his face while he relaxed.

Despite the wild conditions, Demetra remained unfazed. Her navy blue skin glistened in the sunlight as she turned to Archer with a mischievous glint in her bright yellow eyes while speaking into his mind, her voice filled with excitement and anticipation. "Are you ready for an adventure, white dragon?"

Archer nodded eagerly, a sense of thrill coursing through him. He replied, his voice tinged with excitement. "Lead the way."

With a playful smile, she dove into the rough waters, her massive form slicing through the surface effortlessly. Archer sat on her back, his heart pounding with exhilaration as he submerged into the unknown depths below.

As they descended deeper into the azure expanse, Archer's breath caught in his throat as he beheld the breathtaking underwater world unfolding before his eyes. Coral reefs stretched in all directions, teeming with life darting to and fro in a mesmerizing dance.

Schools of colorful beasts glimmered in the spotted sunlight filtering through the water, their scales shimmering like precious jewels. Majestic sea turtles glided gracefully through the currents, their ancient eyes watching the pair.

Archer marveled at the beauty and calm of the underwater realm, a sense of wonder washing over him as he realized that even the sea monsters seemed to avoid Demetra's imposing presence.

It was a sight unlike anything he had ever seen, and he felt privileged to witness it alongside the enigmatic Shadow Shark princess. Archer knew what he'd find would be interesting as they swam deeper into the ocean's heart.

He relaxed as Demetra surged forward, her massive body cutting through the water. The ocean stretched endlessly around them, its depths shrouded in darkness as they journeyed deeper into the abyss.

Archer marveled at the wonders of the underwater world, his senses alive with excitement and anticipation. Suddenly, a monstrous shadow loomed ahead, a massive whale-like creature gliding gracefully through the depths.

Demetra's predatory instincts kicked in, and she surged forward, her eyes fixed on her prey. With lightning speed, she closed the distance between them, her powerful jaws snapping shut around the creature's massive body.

The water churned with the force of their struggle as she wrestled with the beast, her sheer strength and ferocity on full display. Demetra tore the creature in two with a mighty roar, its flesh rending beneath her razor-sharp teeth.

Blood stained the water as she feasted upon her kill, her hunger driving her onward with relentless intensity. Archer watched in awe as she devoured her prey, his heart pounding with exhilaration.

Despite the violent spectacle before him, he couldn't help but admire her raw power and primal instinct. As Demetra finished her meal, she turned to Archer with a playful glint in her eye, her expression softened with amusement.

She laughed and said sorry in a teasing tone. "I apologize for that, white dragon. I couldn't help it. I was really hungry."

Archer couldn't help but laugh along with her, the moment's tension dissipating into the water around them. He affectionately reached out to pat Demetra's massive form, a sense of friendship blossoming between them.

"It's alright," he replied, his voice tinged with amusement. "I understand. We all get hungry sometimes."

With a contented sigh, Demetra resumed their journey through the depths, her laughter echoing through the water like a melody. As the two traveled, they approached an ancient city nestled on the seabed.

The city emanated a powerful aura, its structures pulsating with raw mana. Archer felt an energy coursing through him as they drew nearer to the city. He couldn't help but be captivated by the intense purity of the mana surrounding them.

It was unlike anything he had ever experienced. Suddenly, Demetra slowed, turning to Archer with a gleam of excitement in her bright yellow eyes. "Do you feel that? It's so pure, just like you."

Archer's eyes widened in awe as he took in the sight before him. He nodded in agreement, his voice filled with wonder. "Yes, I feel it. It's incredible."
