nSera caught the scent of the food and emerged from Archer’s shirt, surprising the two people present.

nShe floated towards the food and landed on the side, eagerly beginning to eat the sweet roll-like dish.

nArcher watched her with a smile before ordering more food and handing over another gold coin.

n“Bring us some more snacks,” he said.

nFia returned with even more food, and the two dragons happily indulged while Archer waited for his order.

nHe particularly enjoyed the panipopo, which had a sweet coconut flavor, and found the rice pudding-like dish to be decent.

nAfter finishing the snacks, they waited for their main order.

nA couple of hours passed before Malaki brought over the palusami and coconut cream breadfruit.

n“Here, boy. I’ve never had anyone order so much food before. I’m all out of ingredients now.”

nThe stall owner said as Archer stored all the food in his Iten Box and said goodbye.

nHe started to leave the town walking further south, at the same time his Aura Detector picked up a few pings heading in his direction.

nArcher followed a river towards a lake in the distance, curious about what he might find.

nAs he walked, he couldn’t help but notice the sounds of splashing coming from up ahead.

nIntrigued, he picked up his pace and soon came upon a clearing where he saw a group of fantastical beasts frolicking in the water.

nThey looked like hippos but were twice the size of any he had ever seen on Earth.

nTheir skin shimmered with a shade of blue, and their eyes glowed with an otherworldly light.

nHe watched in awe as they playfully splashed around, sending waves crashing against the riverbank.

nSuddenly, he heard heavier splashing and turned his head to see another one of the beasts charging at a spot in the water not far from him.

nAs it got closer, it bit down into the water.

nArcher saw a massive puddle of blood spreading out in the water as it dragged up a dead beast.

nThe hippo started slamming the thing down, a river drake that was trying to get closer to the younger hippos.

nHe laughed at the foolish river drake getting messed up by the hippo, watching the show for a little while before moving on.

nKeeping an eye on his surroundings, he realized he was still being followed. But continued walking for an hour until the afternoon sun was shining brightly.

nWhile walking, he noticed that whoever was following him was getting closer.

nQuickly jumping into the air, he hovered there and grabbed hold of Sera, opening a portal.

n“Sera, go into the domain now. Bad people are coming,” he warned the little dragon.

nShe looked nervous but nodded as she flew through the portal.

nArcher went to take off when his Aura Detection warned him of a group of five people closing in on him.

nHe started to look around but couldn’t see anything, but the pings were telling him that they had surrounded him.

nHe was getting confused until he heard a rough voice come from behind him.

n“Look what we have here, the infamous white dragon.”

nArcher spun around, looking down as he caught sight of a tall, white-skinned man adorned in black leather armor embellished with various types of dragon teeth.

nStanding at nearly seven feet tall, with bulging muscles and a clean-shaven face, Archer guessed that the man was the leader.

nNoticing the scaly pattern on the armor he narrowed his eyes as he looked up at the grinning man.

n“Ahh, so you noticed. Dragon skin does make good armor if I do say so myself. It looks like you are on your second evolution stage,” the man said as he stepped forward with a cocky grin.

nHis eyes opened wide when he heard this and he wondered how much they knew. When the man saw this, he smiled even more before speaking.

n“The old slayer tomes were right. At first, it’s two horns, then four.”

nThe man stopped walking as Archer hovered in the air.

n“That means you’re just about to get your dragon form, which we can’t let happen,” he said as he motioned for the other men to get closer and try to cut him off from flying away.

nArcher looked around him and knew that if he didn’t escape now, he would get caught.

nHe quickly used Cosmic Step to appear higher in the air and started flapping his wings to speed up.

nHowever, before he could get too far, a heavy chain wrapped around his legs, causing him to crash to the ground.

nArcher was quickly baffled and reacted by using his claws to slice through the chains that bound him. With his newfound freedom, he swiftly jumped back onto his feet. 𝑖𝘦.𝘤𝑜𝘮

nDespite using Blink to escape, he found that the slayers were still able to keep up with him as he ran.

nManaging to gain some ground, he turned around and summoned dozens of fire bolts.

nAiming the bolts at the group and releasing them, the men were thrown off their feet while running.

nArcher continued to cast even more bolts, which rained down on the group.

nWhat looked to be the leader stepped forward and grabbed three of his comrades, shielding them from the incoming bolts.

nHowever, the fifth man wasn’t as lucky, as his body looked like a pincushion and crumbled to the ground.

nWith the leader lowering his shield, Archer couldn’t help but show a devilish smile on his face.

nTaking a deep breath, he let out a mighty roar that caused the remaining four men to cover their ears.

nBut that wasn’t the end of it. Archer also shot a stream of violet fire at them.

nFortunately for the men, the leader cast his slayer shield, blocking Archer’s breath attack and throwing the men to the side.

nArcher ceased his breath attack and swiftly used Blink to teleport behind the group.

nWithout wasting any time, Archer cast Call Lightning, striking most of the slayers with a powerful bolt of electricity.

nDark clouds appeared overhead, and a violet lightning bolt struck the ground near the slayers, another bolt of lightning hit the shield, causing the leader to buckle.

nRushing forward he slashed at one of the men, tearing open his throat with his claws.

nHe quickly used his tail to swipe at another, forcing him to back up.

nHowever, the leader screamed out as he fired a spell at Archer, shouting.

n“Slayer Blast!”

nWith a swift motion, Archer cast the powerful spell of Cosmic Shield, expertly deflecting the incoming attack to the right.

nThe force of the impact caused a massive explosion that echoed across the nearby lake, sending ripples through the water and shaking the surrounding trees.

nDespite the chaos, he remained focused and ready.

nThe man rushed at him and drew a sword from his storage ring, and slashed at Archer, who raised his claws to defend himself.

nSword and claw clashed, and sparks flew all over the place.

nThe leader of the slayer group attempted to cast a Slayer Blast spell, but Archer dodged it and used his tail as a whip, lashing out at the man.

nAs Archer’s tail lashed out toward the man, he quickly deflected the attack, causing it to graze his thigh and left a deep gash.

nThe man let out a piercing scream of pain, clutching his wounded leg as blood began to flow freely.

nAs he faced the slayer’s leader, he cast a Void Blaze and conjured a basketball-sized ball of violet fire that hovered menacingly above him.

nWith an evil smile, he looked up at the leader while throwing it at him. .

nThe violet-colored ball flew across the space that separated the two, but just as it was about to crash into the leader, one of the men pushed him aside.

nThe leader’s savior was struck as it exploded in a massive violet glow.

nOnly the leader and one other slayer remained alive, and Archer approached the two downed men.

nBut as he closed in on them, he sensed another attack incoming from his left but it was too late for him to dodge, so he raised his wing and braced himself for the attack.

nThe blast hit him, sending him flying across the lake bouncing off the water like a child skipping a stone.

nAfter crashing on the opposite side of the lake, he came to a stop with a roll.

nArcher lay there, dazed and hurting all over wondering where he went wrong in life, his regeneration kicked in and he was able to sit up.

nLooking around he noticed a new group running toward him, but there was even more this time around.

nPulling out a health potion, he started downing it, feeling his body starting to repair itself, he looked up to see the new group swiftly closing in on him.

nHe turned around and started running in the opposite direction as he fired Fire Missiles and Plasma Shots at the new group of slayers.

nHours passed as the game of cat and mouse continued, Archer spammed spells at them as they were chasing him.

nThey tried capturing him but he always slipped through their fingers, he managed to lose them and was hiding in a rock outcropping catching his breath.

nRecalling a notification he had received earlier, he took a moment to check it and refresh his memory.

n”Ah nice, at least something good came of this.”

nExhausted, he sat down to catch his breath and retrieved his waterskin to take a long drink.
