A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 325 Claws Vs Sword

Once he spoke to the girls Archer flew straight to the Misthaven Kingdom capital as the sun was setting overhead.

The landscape boasted vast stretches of lush, rolling green fields that bordered the immense Sunfire Jungle.

Archer's keen eyesight caught sight of numerous farms scattered across the terrain, and even in the darkness of night, the kingdom remained bustling with activity.

As he glided gracefully above the kingdom, Archer noticed a stream of people hurrying towards the capital, seeking refuge.

That's when he spotted soldiers also rushing to the city and with a grin? he swooped down and attacked them with his dragon's breath.

The violet fire washed over them turning them to ashes and scaring all the people who saw his attack.

After burning them he let some of the soldiers get away to spread the news of his attacks. That's when he saw dozens of spells flying toward him.

Not bothered with them he quickly cast Blink and vanished. He reappeared above the spells and swooped down toward the wall.

But the ones that managed to hit just dissipated into nothing as magic wasn't a problem for him as long as they were weaker than him, all thanks to his skill Anti-Magic.

As he dived towards the earth, he started casting Element Bolts, directing them towards the soldiers positioned on the wall he had spotted.

The bolts raced forward and slammed into them causing massive explosions all over the place but he wasn't done as he whispered. ''Draco.''

He turned into his dragon form as he crashed into the city walls. With a thunderous impact, Archer smashed through them.

The very ground quaked as chunks of stone rained down upon the confused defenders, and the city's once-imposing fortifications crumbled like paper before Archer's power.

Soldiers, caught in the chaos, were flung through the air, their cries of alarm lost amidst the deafening destruction.

Within the city walls, Archer unleashed his fiery breath, the flames roaring to life and consuming everything in their path.

The once-secure city had now become a battleground, with him at its center.

Before he launched his attack he alerted General Mohamet and the dragon-kin to the incoming battle.

Now that he was standing in the city he summoned them. Over five thousand dragon-kin warriors, Huntresses archers, and three earth dragons which the general was riding on top.

Archer looked down at the man and spoke in a deep voice. ''Loot the city. Kill anyone who gets in your way and take in anyone who wants to join us.''

Mohamet nodded his head and started relaying Archer's orders to the soldiers who got to work.

They didn't know what it was over but they knew their king wouldn't just summon them over nothing and took their job seriously.

General Mohamet and the earth dragon bowed down to him as the general spoke. ''Your Majesty. I hope you don't mind me asking but what has happened?''

Archer looked at the man who had been with him since the beginning and answered, ''They kidnapped my woman. Now they will pay.''

When Mohamet heard this he became enraged and shouted out to the soldiers. ''These foolish humans have kidnapped our queen. Show them the foolishness of their ways.''

As he finished shouting the soldiers became frenzied and started fighting twice as hard before they started looting and herding friendly humans into a safe area.

Archer watched them doing their job and nodded at the general who stood guard at the now-broken wall before taking off.

He hovered in the air as he activated his Aura Detector and searched the city for Sia but couldn't find anything.

After doing that he flew over the city and saw many noble homes, he descended to the closest square and cast Stone Warden hundreds of times.

When the Stone Men appeared he ordered them to loot and deal with the Misthaven soldiers in the city but leave the dragon-kin and Huntresses alone.

They rushed off to complete their orders. That was when Archer flew toward the royal castle that was in the center of the city.

As he got closer he sensed loads of enemies around him, so he cast Crown of Stars and they instantly activated and took out all the hiding soldiers.

Explosions were going off all over the city as Archer crashed into the palace walls causing them to collapse.

When the dust settled he saw a middle-aged man standing there with a confident look on his smug face.

Archer scanned the man.

[----]

[High Mage]

Before the High Mage could respond, Archer took a deep breath, combining all his elements into a single attack.

When he roared at the man a multi-colored breath slammed into him. His breath was beautiful, swirling colors that wiped out the man's existence like he wasn't even there.

His rage-filled roar shook the surrounding buildings causing panicked screams to be heard all over.

Once he finished, he activated Aura Detector again and found Sia being guarded by six men.

She was on the opposite side of the palace, Archer let out another ferocious roar that shook the city before turning into his humanoid form to enter the palace.

When he entered a guard attempted to ambush him with a sudden leap, but he swiftly retaliated, viciously tearing into the unsuspecting human.

He ripped his body into two as he stormed toward the others that appeared and started butchering them like they were livestock.

Some of the human soldiers were in shock at the brutality of the white-haired boy but it was too late for them as his claws rendered armor and magic shields meaningless.

That was when Archer bit into what looked like the guard commander while his tail slapped away the remaining soldiers.

As they crashed to the floor he cast Element Bolts into the collapsed humans causing them to scream out in pain.

He bit down harder causing the man to screech out in pain as his bones were crushed.

But he dropped him to the ground as he spoke in anger. ''Where is the Avalonian general?''

The man pointed in Sia's direction just before Archer killed him, he quickly made his way in the direction the soldier pointed in.

His Aura Detector picked up more soldiers guarding a room that was just down the hall. As Archer got closer he saw the soldiers and quickly cast Celestial Beam as he came to a stop.

A brilliant beam of pure, radiant energy erupted from him. The area filled with a celestial glow as the energy shot toward the Misthaven soldiers.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, they scrambled to defend themselves. Shields were raised, and swords were drawn.

But the beam was relentless, piercing through their defenses with the power of a supernova.

Most of the soldiers were killed but three were still standing as they managed to block Archer's attack.

He thought to himself. 'They must be the king's elites.'

The three were clad in black colored armor decorated with twisted, ominous symbols with a strange-looking symbol on it, and stood in a triangle formation, blocking Archer's path.

Each held a wickedly sharp blade, and their eyes burned with hostile intent.

He acted quickly, casting Blink to vanish from his spot, leaving a shimmering afterimage in his wake.

They exchanged startled glances, their heads swiveling as they tried to locate him. But before they could react, he reappeared right in their midst.

With a savage primal roar, he lunged forward, his claws gleaming in the dim light of the palace.

The first elite, a hulking figure swung his large sword at him. But Archer was faster, he dodged under the blade as he sliced the man across the elite's chest.

The armor offered little protection as he tore through it, leaving deep slashes in their wake.

The man howled in pain and staggered backward, blood pouring from the wound. He wasted no time and turned his attention to the second elite.

A swift and agile warrior with a pair of serrated blades. With a lightning-fast strike, Archer's tail whipped around, aiming for the elite's legs.

The elite tried to evade, but Archer's tail was eager as It wrapped around his ankles, tripping him, and sending him crashing to the ground.

Before the fallen elite could react, it tightened its grip, constricting it like a vice. Bones snapped, and the humans agonized screams filled the air.

Archer let go when he knew the enemy couldn't harm him anymore. The third elite, clever and quick, tried to attack from behind.

But his heightened senses allowed him to foresee the attack. He spun around, his claws meeting a sword in a clash of sparks.

They were locked in a deadly embrace, Archer's eyes locked onto the elite's. With a fierce growl, he pushed forward, overpowering his opponent.

The human staggered back, losing his balance. Seizing the chance, Archer pounced forward, his claws finding their mark.
