nArcher glanced at the pink-haired girl, her narrowed eyes fixed on him. As they all sat down, he answered honestly, “No, Nefi. We’ve been fighting Rat-lings along the way.”
nNefertiti smiled as she took her seat. Teuila initiated the conversation, saying, “I’m glad to see all of you are okay. You won’t believe how well my mother’s birthday celebration went. She was very happy.”
nElla spoke up with a smile on her face, “That’s good to hear, Teuila. My mother has been helping the Dragon Kin women with the children.”
nNefertiti leaned forward, her mischievous smile and gleaming eyes fixed on Archer.
nExcitedly, she exclaimed, “Guess what, my love? I passed my tests! The trials were tough, but I made it through and kept my promise to return to you.”
nArcher smiled and congratulated Nefertiti, saying, “Well done, Nefi. I’m proud of you.”
nHe then turned to Teuila and Ella, saying, “I’m glad to hear that your mother had a wonderful birthday celebration. El, please let me know if she needs any assistance or support.”
nThey smiled in response before he shared his plan, saying, “Well, girls, it’s good to have you back. However, it’s no longer safe to travel on foot because of the Rat-lings. But I have an idea.”
nHe signaled for them to come with him as he stood up and left the treehouse, with the girls following closely behind.
nOnce they reached the ground, they made their way toward a mountain. As they arrived, they witnessed hundreds of wyverns flying and perching around.
nClosing his eyes, Archer envisioned a stone staircase appearing at the entrance.
nAfter a moment, the staircase materialized, surprising Nefertiti. Wide-eyed, she looked at Archer and asked, “What did you just do?”
nHe chuckled and began to explain that within their realm, he had the ability to create anything by channeling his mana.
nNefertiti smiled, observing as he conjured bushes and other objects. Together, they climbed the stairs and entered the nest.
nTheir advance, however, was abruptly halted by a massive male wyvern that landed in front of them, roaring fiercely.
nArcher locked eyes with the wyvern, a tense silence enveloping the nest. Sera, on the verge of transforming into her dragon form, paused at Archer’s intervention.
nNefertiti’s eyes widened in shock as she saw hundreds of wyverns flying around inside the nest, while baby wyverns hopped and played on the ground.
nUnexpectedly, Archer slapped the large wyvern, causing it to crash onto the ground.
nApproaching the beast, he delivered a few more slaps before stepping back and speaking. “Why are you roaring at the person who allowed the wyverns to live here?”
nJust then, the original wyvern who had asked Archer to join them appeared, landing nearby. He glanced at the large wyvern and Archer before bowing his head respectfully.
n“Welcome… White… Dragon,” he uttered.
nArcher paused, realizing that he had never given the wyvern a name. Wanting to improve their communication, he decided to name the beast.
nWhile he conversed with the wyvern, the girls could only hear hissing and guttural noises coming from the two of them.
nTeuila turned to Ella and spoke in a low voice, “Could he do this when he was younger?”
nElla shrugged her shoulders and replied, “No, he couldn’t. This is the first time I’ve seen him do such a thing.” 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝘮
nNefertiti nodded, agreeing with the two girls. Sera remained silent, pondering Archer’s transformation and its connection to the girls.
nBelieving him, she wondered why he appeared more normal now. When they first met, he was somewhat erratic, but over time he calmed down.
nSera glanced at the other girls and pondered if their presence, especially Teuila’s, had influenced Archer’s change.
nAfter finishing his conversation with the wyvern and contemplating a name, Archer came up with one and announced, “From now on, your name will be Drakon.”
nSuddenly, a radiant light enveloped Drakon, causing him to grow larger and more formidable. His appearance turned more vicious and commanding. 𝑖𝘳.𝒸ℴ𝑚
nDrakon looked at Archer with amazement in his eyes, bowing his head even lower. “Thank you for this gift, Dragon King,” he expressed gratefully.
nArcher’s eyes widened as he heard Drakon speak clearly. He couldn’t help but wonder if giving the wyverns names held any significant meaning.
nShaking his head to clear his thoughts, Archer addressed the reason for their presence. “We need a wyvern to ride for a while as we travel through this rat-infested land.”
nDrakon nodded and directed his gaze toward the large wyvern that had now risen to its feet and spoke, “You assist the King in whatever he requires.”
nWith a nod of affirmation, the large wyvern approached Archer and lowered its massive body, allowing him and the girls to get on.
nNefertiti felt nervous, knowing that wyverns were often seen as fierce and dangerous creatures.
nHowever, she found herself standing alongside the others on the back of one of them. Archer opened a large portal to the outside world.
nThe wyvern moved forward and passed through the portal, leading them into a clearing filled with the corpses of Rat-lings and other creatures.
nArcher addressed the beast, saying, “Eat whatever you want, boy. If you do well, I might even give you a name.”
nThe wyvern grew excited and began devouring the bodies, while Ella looked at Archer and asked, “What’s the plan?”
nArcher met her gaze and began explaining, “Well, we will use the wyvern to fly to the capital and avoid the creatures roaming around.”
nThe girls nodded in agreement, and soon the wyvern finished its feast, consuming most of the bodies.
nWith a powerful flap of its wings, the wyvern took off, and the group settled comfortably on its back, enjoying the soothing breeze as they soared through the sky.
nArcher and the girls relaxed, feeling the gentle wind rustling their hair and taking in the beautiful scenery surrounding them.
nHowever, their tranquility was abruptly interrupted by a deafening roar reverberating in the distance, prompting Archer to spring to his feet.
nWide-eyed, he spotted a colossal giant wreaking havoc in a distant forest. Acting swiftly, he spoke to the wyvern, “Fly higher.”
nObeying his command, the wyvern ascended higher into the sky.
nArcher turned to the girls and relayed the urgent situation, “There is a giant attacking something over there. I’m going to investigate, but follow closely on the wyvern.”
nAfter delivering his instructions, he jumped off the wyvern’s back, whispering the word “Draco” as he descended.
nIn a burst of radiant light, he transformed into his formidable dragon form, unfurling his mighty wings and soaring toward the giant.
nSera followed suit, transforming into her dragon form as she leaped off the wyvern’s back, flying after Archer.
nThe giant spotted the two dragons and let out an earthshaking roar as it ran toward them.
nArcher’s eyes blazed with excitement as he soared towards the colossal giant, his wings beating with thunderous force.
nHe began casting Celestial Beams, streaking through the air and aiming directly at the giant. The beams collided with the giant’s armor, creating powerful shockwaves.
nThe clash intensified, and Archer wasted no time. He unleashed a flurry of vicious strikes, his sharp teeth, and claws tearing through the giant’s heavy armor.
nWith each ferocious blow, he aimed to weaken the giant’s defenses and expose its vulnerable spots.
nMeanwhile, Sera engaged in a fierce battle against the demi-giants in her dragon form. Her immense strength and agility proved formidable against her enemies.
nHer wings thrashed in the air as she unleashed devastating breath attacks, sending shockwaves through the ranks of the demi-giants.
nSoon, the other girls caught up with Archer and Sera, witnessing Archer’s relentless assault on the massive giant.
nTeuila turned to Ella and Nefertiti, speaking urgently, “Ella, come with me. We need to assist Archer. This giant is stronger than the last one. Nefertiti, take the wyvern and help Sera clear out the smaller giants.”
nThey all nodded in agreement. Teuila unsheathed her sword and leaped off the wyvern’s back, simultaneously casting Hydro Barrage.
nNumerous pools of water materialized around her, she unleashed a relentless assault on the giant who had just thrown Archer to the side.
nElla conjured earth arrows that flew over Teuila’s shoulder, piercing the giant’s body and causing it to stumble backward.
nTeuila was falling and casting spells at the giant but Archer quickly caught her and placed her on his back.
nHe turned his attention back to the giant and saw a beam of intense light shoot out from the forest and hit the giant, burning through its arm and eliciting a roar of pain.
nIn a fierce collision, Archer clamped down on the beast’s neck with his jaws, snapping it as the giant collapsed to the ground.
nBefore he could look for the person who had fired the powerful spell, a tree trunk hurtled toward him.
nHowever, Archer swiftly cast Cosmic Shield, deflecting the projectile to the side.
nHis attention then turned to see three more charging giants. He prepared himself for the impending battle, but he soon noticed people running through the forest.
nUpon closer inspection, he realized they were students, their faces contorted with horror as they fought against Rat-lings.
nTheir desperate struggle caught Archer’s attention. Acting quickly, he opened a large portal and let out a resounding roar.
nThe charging giants halted in confusion, stunned by the appearance of the massive violet doorway.
nAfter a brief moment, a large wyvern emerged from the portal, crashing into the nearest giant and engaging it in a fierce battle, while the remaining two were overwhelmed by the other wyverns.
