A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer was sleeping while cuddling up to Mary and Sera when the door slammed open, causing him to wake up. He shook his head and saw Teuila, Talila, Hemera, and Nefertiti wearing their armor.

The Aquarian Princess said, ''The Swarm is attacking our homelands, and this time, it seems more serious than the previous ones. We're heading back to help as our family contacted us.''

When hearing this, Archer cast Blink to get out of bed as he spoke, ''Who's going with you?''

''Everyone apart from Kassandra. She will keep you out of trouble while we're gone,'' Teulia replied while the other girls kissed him.

Ella spoke up next, her voice clear and determined. "I'm journeying to the Oakwood Kingdom with Llyniel. Meanwhile, Hemera, Hecate, and Talila will be returning to Mediterra. And Luce is accompanying Nala to lend aid to the Lionheart Kingdom while Nefertiti head to the Zenia Empire."

Sera's voice interrupted, filled with curiosity and perhaps a hint of playfulness. "And what about me?" she exclaimed, leaping out of bed without a stitch of clothing, prompting giggles from the others as she bounced on the mattress.

When Teuila saw the dragon girl's nakedness, she scolded her, ''Go put your dress on, Seraphina! I don't want to see your ass, and boobs jiggle every time you hop around like a horned rabbit.''

''Shut up, big boobs,'' Sera replied with a grin before she darted off to get ready while giggling.

The Aquarian Princess looked at the dragon girl and said, ''That annoying gremlin always teases me.'' After speaking, Teuila turned to him and said, ''I'll take her with me; she seems hyperactive.''

Archer chuckled, ''Mary, can you go with Leira and guard Starfall City and the palace against any demigods that appear?''

''Of course, husband,'' she answered while sitting in bed. ''What will you be doing?''

''If the Swarm is invading, I will attack from the East and free Maeve's Kingdom before hitting the Riverland Duchy,'' he replied. ''What's happened about the tournaments?''

''They have been canceled as the security of the competitors couldn't be guaranteed as the Swarm has attacked hundreds of towns and cities up and down Pluoria,'' Leira revealed while tightening her armor.

Archer nodded before taking out another Dragon Orb and handing spare ones to the girls, who were baffled, but he explained, ''Give these to our friends and any of our allies.''

Just as he said that he started to fade, shocking everyone, but Archer reassured them everything was fine before vanishing. Archer reappeared in the Riverlands next to a caravan of fancy-looking carriages.

That wasn't what caught his attention, though. It was the Ratlings and Blightborns charging toward them. Archer looked around only to spot Maeve readying herself to fight alongside the Avaloch royal guards stationed around the carriage.

He grinned at the orange-haired girl, then drew a deep breath, unleashing a mighty roar that sent forth a torrent of violet dragon flame, engulfing every creature in its path. Once Archer finished his opening attack, he flexed his claws before shooting forward and tearing a Blightborn in half with one swipe.

Archer's tail struck several monsters in the head with a mind of its own. He quickly cast Crown Of Stars, instantly firing and piercing their heads. While doing that, the Avaloch Royal Guards charged forward and mowed down the remaining creatures.

Once everything died down, Archer used Aura Detector to scan for any more monsters and saw a new group heading toward them, but he summoned a hundred Stone Men before ordering them to charge at the incoming Swarm.

After that, Maeve appeared beside him with a sweet smile, ''Thank you for giving me the Dragon Orb Arch.''

Archer nodded, ''You're welcome,'' he said while handing her another three orbs, ''Take these and use them whenever you need me.''

Maeve smiled and thanked him while embracing him, ''I knew when I chose you, It was the right decision.''

She beamed a radiant smile, but soon, a concerned voice interrupted them, ''Maeve, return to the carriage. We must reach the Tidefall Harbor before we're attacked again.''

Archer turned around to see Noamh, Maeve's mother, standing there watching them with narrowed eyes. The beautiful, mature woman eyed him with suspicion, ''It's good to see you, King Wyldheart,'' she said. ''Your kingdom's food is exquisite; once things calm down, can we discuss a deeper trade deal between our realms?''

She said that while looking between him and Maeve, whose cheeks went red, but Archer's mood soured when Seamus exited the carriage before rushing toward the orange-haired girl with a concerned expression.

The idiot prince approached and bowed his head toward Archer, who let out a low growl that shocked Maeve. After she leaned in and whispered before Seamus reached them, ''I am meant to be getting married in two weeks; come for me then, but prepare for my father's wrath as he will declare war on you.''

Archer chuckled but nodded in understanding before turning to Noamh, ''It's good to see you again,'' he said. ''When you're ready to trade, visit me on Draconia; I would love to take you around my kingdom to show you the sights.''

The mature orange-haired woman looked at him and slowly nodded, ''Maybe we can arrange something when everything settles down.''

Once they spoke for a few minutes, Maeve and her mother left, followed by Seamus. After they were gone, Archer returned to the treehouse and received numerous hugs and kisses before the girls freed him.

Archer's face lit up with a contented smile as he opened several Gates for them. They all made him promise to visit them, reassuring him that their absence would be brief; they wished to aid their families, a cause he wholeheartedly supported.

All the girls but Kassandra left after giving him a passionate kiss and the promise that they would keep in contact through the bracelets. After they were gone, the Kraken Princess jumped on him.

The two of them made love on the living room floor, causing Archer to relax until he received a message from Elara, his Dragon Marshal. [Your Majesty. We are being attacked from the underground city and the walls. The legions are holding firm, but there's no news from the 3rd or 4th legions who are scattered on the island]

When Archer saw the message, he informed Kassandra, who agreed to join him as he opened a portal to the Forsaken Isles and entered, only to reappear in Hammergate Town, where the First Legion was stationed.

The duo searched for Elara, stationed at the wall while directing the Dragonfire Company to shower the Swarm Giants with artillery fire. Archer saw this and was about to transform but was stopped by Kassandra, who pointed up.

Archer followed her arm and showed a wave of chaotic mana shells slamming into the horde of monsters and wiping them away in a firestorm. He was impressed and guessed it was the Navy helping out with the defense.

That's when all the soldiers around them cheered, and Archer was right; it was the DRN Archer's Pride firing on the hordes. Seeing this, he smiled before going over to Elara, who looked relieved to see him.

Elara went to bow, but Archer stopped her and wanted to know everything that had happened, which she did. He discovered that the attacks intensified in the underground city, pushing them back to the first layer.

But then the Swarm attacked the wall using assassin-like monsters, who snuck over and killed a hundred Drakeguards before the Dragonblood Knights put them down. When Archer heard this, he felt for the soldiers but would ensure their bodies returned to Draconia.

Then, the dragonkin woman informed him that the 3rd and 4th Legions had gone missing, which concerned Archer. He decided to use the Tressyms to locate them. Once Elara was done, he summoned the flying cats.

He ordered them to find the missing legions, which the felines agreed to and zoomed off, but just as they did, an explosion rang out that shook the ground, causing some of the soldiers to fall over.

That's when a green wave washed over the world, and Archer felt something inside him cut off, which concerned him. He looked around and saw no one was injured before Tiamat's voice reached his ears.

''Come to me, little dragon,'' she said before his consciousness faded, and Archer reappeared on the same balcony he had previously met Tiamat.

Archer shook his head and sat down. ''What's happened, Tia? Has something's changed,'' he questioned with a concerned expression.

The dragon goddess sighed, ''The dark gods went unnoticed, and the Terravians managed to sacrifice enough souls and mana hearts to activate an ancient spell that blocks all teleportation magic.''

His eyes widened in shock, causing Tiamat to nod, ''Yes, it's that bad, but there's some good news. You can deal with this spell with your Anti-Magic skill by heading to a place called The Cursed Isles, which is to the far south.''

Archer's violet eyes blazed with determination as he was going to travel to the island. Tiamat's playful giggle rippled through the air, followed by her cautionary words, "Venturing there now won't get you far, Arch. The dark gods have fortified it against all intruders. However, you may stand a chance once you unlock your final form which will happen when you become a demigod."

''Final form?''

''You will finally become what the white dragon was meant to be, the guardian of Thrylos against an outside threat, but your predecessors failed at their roles and became lazy or power-

hungry.''

Archer's eyebrow raised, ''I guess I'm different?''

Tiamat nodded, ''Yes,'' she said. ''Look at what you've been doing in Draconia and helping the common people even though you're a devious little goblin who steals, kills, and sleeps with a dozen women, but that's what makes you better.''
