nArcher watched the woman until she shook her head and spoke amusedly, “A being from another world but also this one. What gods stole your soul from me?”

nThe woman slowly approached him as he replied while his curiosity grew, “I died on Earth, was born on Thrylos to a new family, and now I can travel between worlds, but I have to get stronger first before opening a Gate back home.”

nShe nodded with a fascinated expression that crossed her face before speaking, “Putting souls back into their rightful bodies hasn’t been done in countless years. Why waste so much essence on four human women? It would be more useful if you could give me it.”

n‘She’s giving me an off feeling; it’s like something is not right.’

nArcher started laughing before guessing, “You’re Death? Never thought I’d meet someone like you here.”

nThe woman beamed and replied with an amused tone, “Yes, you can call me Lady Death. But I’m neither god nor human; I’m something in between. I was put here at the beginning of time to feed on you **ers.”

n“And me bringing these four back deprived you of a meal?” Archer asked with a charming smile that caught the stranger off guard. “If that’s the case, I am sorry, but I care about them, so you will not be eating them.”

nLady Death giggled as her black eyes sparkled while replying, “Well, if that’s the case, I will have to eat your soul, but there’s something else I may want.”

nArcher wondered where this was going but waited for her to reveal what she wanted, “I want to see another world. Can I join you on whatever planet you come from?”

nHe studied her with narrowed eyes before giving a slow nod. “As long as no one dies in my kingdom, I’ll gladly take you to Thrylos.”

nLady Death’s smile widened, her eyes gleaming with mischief as she spoke in amusement. “Hand over your phone, dragon. I want your number to discuss your repayment of the debt you owe me.”‘

nArcher chuckled softly, surrendering his phone. As she typed in her number, her gaze swept over his body, her voice dropping to a whisper after biting her lip. “But if someone else has to die, dragon… I might need more than just a favor.”

n‘Does she not realize what she’s implying?’ Archer mused, his eyes darkening with amusement. He responded with a slow, teasing smile. “As long as that favor involves you, I’d be more than willing to return the gesture.”

nLady Death giggled her laugh light but laced with something darker. She nodded, stepping back. “I really should go. Duty calls-people are dying and need my attention. We shall meet again, handsome.”

nShe returned his phone and vanished into the wind, leaving a swirling burst of strange mana behind. Archer looked around, feeling like she had never been there. As time resumed its course, he felt a sharp, unfamiliar sensation strike his body, but it took a moment for him to register the pain.

n‘Who would have thought Death would be sexy? Maybe I should claim her for myself,’ Archer thought.

nFollowing that, a sudden pain shot through his body, causing him to grit his teeth as he started trembling, ‘What’s going on? It shouldn’t hurt like this when using so much of my mana.’ Archer shook his head as he noticed the four women waking up, and Alexa, Nancy, and Grace rushed over to them. The three started worrying over them, causing him to smile as Maeve approached and spoke concernedly, “Do you feel okay, Arch? You used a lot of magic.”

nHe nodded before answering while stretching his body, “My body hurts; I’ve got a headache and need to sleep.”

nAfter that, Archer looked at Alexa and said, “I’m going to rest; I will be back after meeting my Mom tomorrow.”

nThe navy-haired woman was tending to her mother and sisters before nodding with a grateful smile, “Okay, my love. Make sure you come back when meeting Michelle. Tell her I said hello.”

nArcher nodded with a smile before approaching his childhood love and kissing her, which shocked the surrounding women and guards. Pamela, Abby, Josie, and Lacy were still confused but saw it.

nFollowing that, Archer said his goodbyes to Nancy and Grace before opening a Gate to Isabella’s house. He stepped through along with Ashoke, Maeve, and Nyx. The group appeared in his aunt’s back garden, noticing it was night, while back in London, it was daytime.

n‘Timezones,’ he remembered with a chuckle.

nArcher went to walk, but his body trembled before dropping to one knee. A strange pain radiated through him again, causing the three women to rush toward him with worried expressions as the tiger woman cast a healing spell on him.

n”I need mana. The regeneration rate is too slow, and my body is suffering because I used too much bringing them back,” he said while gritting his teeth.

nThat’s when Nyx started sending her mana into his body, which made the pain fade away as Isabella’s voice rang out, “What’s happened to this little deviant? Looks like he is hurt.”

nArcher chuckled, but Maeve went on to explain everything, which shocked the older woman. Soon, she smiled before speaking again, “You three get some rest; I will look after this gremlin.”

nAshoka and Nyx giggled while the orange-haired warrior woman giggled. The three kissed Archer before walking into the beachside house. Once they were gone, Isabella looked at him with a knowing smile as she revealed, “So you need sex to return to your world? Isn’t that interesting?”

nWhen hearing his aunt’s words, his cheeks went red, but he nodded before replying, “Yes, but I only make love to women I like and won’t have one-night stands.”

n“A playboy with some morals? Interesting,” Isabella commented with a smile.

n“Shut up, you lewd woman, and let me rest,” Archer said while waving away the woman while collapsing onto a garden chair and closing his eyes.

n‘I can feel the mana slowly returning to me, and it’s quicker than when in London,’ he pondered as his head spun. ‘Maybe Florida is better for me.’

nAs Archer sat quietly, a piercing scream shattered the calm, slicing through the air from the front of the house. Isabella’s face turned pale as she gasped, “That’s Cece.”

nWithout a moment’s hesitation, Isabella bolted toward the source of the commotion. Archer sprang to his feet and followed closely behind. He arrived just in time to see his blue-eyed cousin, Cece, clutching her cheek, her face streaked with tears.

nStanding over her was a tall, muscular man, his rage palpable. Archer’s heart pounded as he saw the raw distress on Cece’s face. In a surge of fury, he blinked to the man’s side instantly, his anger barely contained as he punched the stranger in the stomach.

nThe strike took the wind out of the man before Archer struck again and broke his jaw. His four friends jumped out of the car and surrounded him, making his smile grow wider as he stepped forward and headbutted one while kicking another in the chest.

nArcher’s sudden attack sent the one he kicked crashing into the car, while the one he struck first was screeching as his nose was obliterated. Following that, he attacked the last two, who looked at him with fear, but that didn’t matter as he broke at least one of their limbs. freewebnvel.com

nCece and Isabella looked at the scene in fear as the one who struck her pulled out a gun and aimed it at Archer. This made the two women panic, but the man’s hands dropped to the floor when a woosh was heard.

nThe scene shocked everyone as Ashoka appeared while holding a sword. Nyx appeared and slashed at one of the men’s throats causing Archer to kill the rest before sucking all their

nbodies into his Item Box.

nNyx lifted one of the men easily, her mix-matched eyes gleaming with a predatory delight. “Can I eat this one, husband? He smells so delicious, like a perfectly cooked steak from our

ndates.”

nArcher chuckled, his amusement evident. He quickly cast Mana Manipulation, cloaking the grisly scene from view as Nyx shifted into her dragon form. With one swift motion, she devoured the man whole.

nAs Nyx savored her feast, Archer casually offered, “Would you like the other corpses I have In

nmy Item?”

n“Yes, please,” she replied with a big smile.

nHe threw the dragon woman the bodies, which shocked Cece and Isabella. Nyx returned to her humanoid form with a satisfied expression as she spoke, “It tasted like pork.” Ashoka and Maeve started laughing while Archer hugged Nyx, who returned it. Following that, Isabella shook her head before speaking, “You need some rest, Arch, and don’t just kill people. It’s not how things work on Earth.”

n“The human hurt Cece, and the others tried coming after me. I believe they got what they deserved,” Archer answered without thinking about their deaths as he grew used to killing

npeople.

nFollowing that, the group entered the house, and when Archer walked with his three women, Cece grabbed his head and whispered, “Can you come to my room, please?”
