nArcher let out an earth-shaking roar as he shifted into his Draconis form, his massive wings stretching wide. He turned to Maeve, his voice rumbling with authority. “My love, guard the mansion. Ensure no monsters reach that woman. She’s the leader of this nation and could prove useful to us.”

nMaeve shot him a playful smile, her tone teasing. “You just want to get into her panties, you lewd dragon. But don’t worry, I’ll keep her safe.”

nHe laughed before revealing, “To be honest, I didn’t think that at all, but now you mention it, she is beautiful, and I wonder what it would feel like to dominate the leader of the free world.”

n“Oh, so she’s like an empress of this place?” Maeve questioned with a curious voice. Archer nodded before flying toward the monsters heading toward the UK and used Mana Manipulation to move even faster. He created a sonic boom by soaring so fast and was halfway across the Atlantic when he saw the swarm of creatures.

nThey were swimming through the rough water, and when Archer saw this, he grinned before casting dozens of Plasma Missiles that chased after the monsters like homing rockets. When the projectiles hit them, an explosion lit up the dark ocean.

nHe relentlessly cast spells into the horde until he noticed three humanoid figures floating in the air. A smile spread across his face as he thought, ‘Oh, let’s have some fun. They will be caught off guard.’

nUsing Blink, he closed the distance to the enemies in an instant. They leaped back in surprise, but Archer was faster. He wrapped chaotic mana around his fist and delivered a powerful punch to the nearest creature, sending it into the water below.

nArcher swiftly turned his attention to the remaining two foes, attacking them with a brutal combination of magic and powerful punches. The Terravians were torn apart, their forms disintegrating into a bloody mist that coated him.

n‘Feels good when killing the Swarm,’ he mused with a smile. ‘I could get addicted to this feeling.’ Shaking off the gory remnants, he summoned his Shadow Creatures and commanded them to attack. Meanwhile, Archer methodically eliminated the fleeing monsters with Eldritch Blast and Plasma Missiles, their fiery explosions engulfing the enemies in a storm of destruction.

nIt didn’t take him long to wipe out the threat, but he wasn’t alone as battleships appeared below. Archer watched them kill the wounded monsters with the vessel’s weapons before large container ships collected as many dead creatures.

nThis caught his attention, and he decided to ask Elizabeth when he returned to her mansion. While flying, he decided to slow down as he admired the scenery all around him. ‘Nothing’s changed apart from the people seeming to be friendlier now days or it could be my charisma,’ he mused.

nAfterward, Archer returned to the mansion through Gate, watching from above as the ships below collected the monster corpses. He reappeared just outside Elizabeth’s home, where the security guards initially turned to him but, recognizing who he was, quickly resumed their tasks.

nHe approached Maeve, who stood with Elizabeth, while Ava quietly slipped away. Both women smiled as Archer drew near, and Maeve, the orange-haired warrior, smirked. “Did you kill them all?” she asked with a teasing glint in her eye.

n“Yes, they didn’t expect me. I caught them off guard,” Archer replied with a satisfied grin, sitting down and casting a charming smile toward Elizabeth. “Your ships are already collecting the corpses.”

nElizabeth nodded, clearly relieved, then said with a hint of curiosity. “Can I have your phone, please?”

nArcher handed it over, and seconds later, he heard a ching just as she looked at him and explained, “I just deposited the payment into your account, which is tax-free, as a thank you for helping the government.”

nWhen he took the phone, she commented, “I also added my number for our date. But it will have to wait until I’m back in Washington. I’m out here to take a break from a hectic work schedule.”

n“Do you want to feel better, Liza?” Archer asked with a knowing smile, which made Maeve giggle.

nElizabeth looked at him with narrowed eyes but slowly nodded as she answered, “Yes, that would be nice. Ever since giving birth to my children, my back has been messed up.”

nArcher smiled when hearing this before questioning, “How many do you have?”

n“Three, two girls and one boy,” she replied, smiling at him before continuing. “They are all older than you, about from my youngest Silika.”

nHe nodded, and the trio spent the next few hours talking and getting to know each other. As the conversation wound down, Elizabeth let out a tired yawn. “I’m going to get some sleep. I’ll text you if there are any more attack reports,” she said.

nArcher stood, smiling, when Elizabeth pulled him into an unexpected hug. Leaning close, she whispered with a playful grin, “Just a heads-up, if you get involved with me, my ex-husband might try to stir up some trouble. But honestly, I think it’ll be worth it… these cobwebs aren’t going to clear themselves.”

nShe gave him a cheeky wink and sauntered away, her slender hips swaying as she walked. Archer, both amused and intrigued, watched her go. Just then, Maeve appeared beside him with a playful grin.

n“Looks like the empress has charmed you, husband,” she teased, her eyes gleaming mischievously. “Should I warn the others?” she added with a sly grin, clearly enjoying the situation.

nArcher gazed at the fierce and striking warrior woman standing before him, his voice steady as he spoke. “Alexa needs to stay in London for a while. Mom and Ellie are busy with work and college. How about joining me on a trip to a city called New York, Maeve?”

n“That would be nice. Isabella told me that the place is well known for a food called pizza,” she replied with an excited smile. “I want to try some. We should invite Ashoka and Nyx; they would love to come.”

nHe agreed and sent a message to each woman who decided to join, causing him to use the dragon tattoos to summon them. When Nyx appeared, she brought out her wings while

nAshoka cast her magic to fly.

nFollowing that, Archer summoned his wings and scooped Maeve into a princess carry before taking off and flying further north where the city was. The group soared high above the landscape, the cool night air rushing past them as they flew in formation.

nBelow, vast forests and sprawling cities dotted the terrain, their twinkling lights stretching far into the horizon like stars beneath them. Maeve grinned, her orange hair billowing in the wind, while Nyx flew beside them, her dark wings blending into the night sky.

nAshoka glided effortlessly, her eyes scanning the world below with fascination, “I can’t get used to how different Earth and Thrylos are.”

nHe agreed with a nod, “It’s two separate worlds. Maybe we can get a few holiday homes here and come here once the war is over?”

nThe three women agreed as Nyx spoke with a big smile, “No one has figured out that Maeve is the only human among us.”‘

nAs they flew further, the moon hung high above, casting its silver glow across the land, illuminating rivers and highways that snaked through the darkness. The vastness of America unfurled beneath them, its modern wonders fading into a quiet beauty under the pale light. In the distance, a gleaming silhouette emerged. Archer pointed toward it, a smile spreading across his face. “There it is,” he said, his voice carried on the wind. “New York.”

nThe iconic skyline came into view, towering skyscrapers reaching for the sky like monuments of steel and glass, their lights glittering like jewels against the night. The moon framed the city in a serene, ethereal glow, making it appear almost otherworldly.

nMaeve gazed in awe, her voice soft. “It’s beautiful.”

n“It is,” Archer confirmed with a nod, then added, “We should book a room in one of the top hotels. You three will be amazed by the views from the upper floors.” Everyone agreed as they flew toward the city but landed discreetly outside to avoid being seen. As they touched down, Ashoke and Maeve shivered from the cold. Archer quickly wrapped them in cloaks and said, “We’ll get you some modern clothes. I know Mom and Bel gave you some, but it’s good to have a few of our own.”

nAs they walked down the street, Archer soon realized they were in New Brunswick. Spotting a taxi, he waved it down. Nyx raised an eyebrow and asked, “What are you doing, husband?” “Getting a ride into the city,” Archer replied with a grin as he opened the door for them. “Hop in, my beauties, and we’ll head to the hotel.”

nOnce inside the taxi, the driver, a friendly-looking man, turned to them with a smile and asked, “Where are you young folks headed?”

n“Four Seasons, please,” Archer responded, handing over a couple hundred dollars. The driver nodded appreciatively and began driving down the road.

nThe three women looked out the window in amazement, and Archer smiled as he admired the landscape. Shops, homes, and other businesses passed by.
