A Journey That Changed The World.-Chapter 848 Kidnapping A Willing Princess
Chapter 848 Kidnapping A Willing Princess
Archer watched as hundreds of people entered the garden, but Seamus and Maeve appeared just as everyone settled down. The scene made him laugh as the orange-haired girl avoided the boy's touch at every turn.
When Maeve saw Archer, she gave him a beautiful smile that angered Seamus, but completely ignored him. As they passed, he cast Plasma Missiles that shot into the air like fireworks, surprising the crowd and making Demetra laugh as she got ready to fight.
Soon after, Maeve and Seamus reached the stage where the priests were waiting. An older woman walked up to the podium and was about to speak when the Plasma Missiles fell back to earth. When they were ten meters above the garden, they exploded.
The sudden detonations caused the crowd to panic, and they started to flee like a tsunami of ants, allowing Archer to act. He jumped up and rushed toward the stage; Demetra jumped forward and skillfully took out several royal guards who tried to stop him.
Archer jumped onto the stage before slapping the priest away just as she was going to cast a spell and grabbed Seamus by the neck. He lifted him off his feet and spoke, ''Maeve is mine, human. I will take her now, and one day, I will visit this kingdom and yours to conquer them only to show you how happy she will be.''
After speaking, he slapped Seamus several times before launching him at a nearby wall, causing it to collapse on top of the baffled boy, who was seriously injured. Once Archer did that, Demetra joined him while holding Cian over her shoulder as he scooped up a smiling Maeve.
The two started running through the garden, chased by the surviving guards and a rage-fueled Ronan, who already had his sword out. Archer saw them approaching the palace walls, causing him to turn to Demetra, ''Jump up and rush toward the western entrance.''
"Yes, husband," the shark girl replied, smiling, as they approached the wall.
With momentum, Archer propelled himself to the top, landing heavily but swiftly casting Crown of Stars. Instantly, nearby Avalochian soldiers were targeted and sent flying so it would give them a guard-free escape route.
In seamless synchrony, Demetra joined him before the duo descended into the city. They swiftly evaded pursuit and neutralized any soldiers who dared to hinder their escape. Archer leaped down and landed with a crash.
The shark girl jumped off and landed in the middle of a group of soldiers rushing toward Archer. Demetra took them out in a flurry of kicks, punches, and slaps, killing most of them, but it didn't bother either.
Archer was sprinting through the streets while dodging people. Demetra's smile grew malicious as she transformed into a shark, biting down on another group of soldiers. Then, she returned to her humanoid form and continued running.
While she did this, Archer cast Azur Cannon into a group of Heavy Infantry that blocked the street with a shieldwall. A mini explosion demolished the soldiers and nearby buildings when the violet blast struck the shields.
The aftermath was carnage as the street was painted black with scorching flames, and burnt armor lay on the ground. Maeve and the shark girl cheered while rushing past the scene. Archer followed and took out several hundred soldiers while rushing through the city, causing chaos wherever they went.
Archer saw the western gate and noticed it was barred with a mithril portcullis, which caused the girls to panic. However, he stopped while putting Maeve down and spoke, ''Cover me, ladies, I will destroy the gate.''
They nodded as Demetra prepared to fight after putting an unconscious Cian next to Archer while Maeve took out her sword and cut off the bottom of her dress just as the Avalochian soldiers arrived.
The two rushed forward and caused complete chaos as the shark girl threw punches and kicks that sent them flying. While she did that, Maeve parried attacks before striking and bringing down dozens of soldiers when Archer was ready.
He cast Azur Cannon, Elemental Fury, Celestial Beam, and most of his attack spells. The orbs in front of him were volatile, causing all the mana in the air to rush into it just as he sent it flying toward the gate.
Archer grabbed Demetra and Maeve before casting Cosmic Shield around them and using his wings to cover them further. An explosion ripped through the air, shaking the ground and sending chunks of the wall crashing into the city.
Once it was over, Archer transformed into his dragon form when he felt a strong enemy heading his way. A bright light blinded everyone as he clashed with the monster who appeared.
It was another dragon, but this one was black. Archer and the creature started fighting as he sent the girls a message, ''Head for the ship now! I will catch up!''
Following that, he bit down on one of the dragon's wings and started tugging at it like an angry dog before tearing it off and sending them crashing into the city, demolishing several buildings.
Archer jumped up and took a deep breath before releasing his dragon's breath at the black dragon, who cast some magic to block the attack. However, the fire wasn't his only attack, so he cast Blink to reappear above his enemy.
He landed on the black dragon's back with a feral intensity, biting down hard and raking his claws across its torso. Suddenly, a powerful blast struck him. Though the Anti-Magic spell shielded him from harm, the sheer force sent him crashing into the city below.
As he regained his bearings, Archer spotted a yellow dragon approaching. "A thunder dragon," he thought, "Why are they attacking me?"
Fueled by rage, Archer launched himself back at the black dragon, resuming their fierce battle. However, with the thunder dragon providing backup, he was overwhelmed and wounded.
Just as the thunder dragon closed in for another strike, a massive navy blue shark materialized out of nowhere, slicing the dragon clean in half with a single, powerful bite. A blinding light followed, and then a streak of fire slammed into the black dragon, making it roar in agony.
Suddenly, Sera appeared, her jaws clamping down on the black dragon's neck, delivering a devastating blow. Soon enough, Archer was fully healed and called the two girls, who jumped on his back as he started casting Blink to get away from the city.
Archer did this for ten minutes and ended up on the mountain they were first on. He returned to his humanoid form and was hugged by Maeve and Cian, who all smiled, which confused him.
''I thought you two would be angry with me,'' he questioned, which caused the siblings to laugh.
Cian stepped forward and held out his hand, ''Thank you for getting us out of there. Father has been different lately and has been acting strangely.'' 𝗳re𝗲𝚠e𝐛n𝗼v𝗲l.c𝐨𝐦
Archer nodded, ''I thought the same thing of your kingdom,'' he motioned around them. ''You haven't been attacked by the Swarm tearing through Pluoria and every other continent on Thrylos.''
When Maeve heard that, her eyes widened, ''You speak the truth. Eveline and Aurelia's kingdoms have managed to hold out, but they diverted the Swarms in other directions for now,'' she spoke concernedly.
''We will get to them eventually. My armies are ready to start moving north when we get back to Aquaria,'' he said, looking at Maeve and Cian. ''We can drop you two in Draconia, or you can come with us?''
''I'll come with you!'' Maeve excitedly answered.
Archer nodded before turning to Cian, who wanted to see his kingdom. After that, he used Blink to take the siblings to the waiting Destroyer while Sera flew with Demetra on her back with confused Maeve.
The warrior girl questioned, "I thought only a dragon's lover was allowed on their back."
He chuckled, explaining, "Well, they are an extension of me, so Sera would allow Demetra on her back, just like the other girls."
Maeve nodded, then nervously asked, "Are we lovers now?"
Archer didn't answer until they were on the deck of the Destroyer, which started to move. Sera appeared and transformed into her humanoid form, and they all gave him some private time with Maeve.
He led her to a private spot on the ship's side where people could sit and watch the passing sea. Archer sat down and pulled Maeve onto his lap while moving her ponytail out of the way before kissing her slender neck.
While doing that, Archer answered her previous question, ''Yes, my warrior princess. You're mine until the end of time.''
Maeve beamed, ''Do you mean that?'' she questioned in a hopeful voice.
"Yes, I do. Why wouldn't I? You're a strong girl I liked from the day we met," Archer spoke from the heart, causing Maeve's happiness to soar.
She cupped his cheeks, pressing a love-filled kiss against his lips, which he welcomed. Archer returned the kiss passionately before they separated, gazing at the ocean as the ship sailed away from the Avaloch Kingdom.
While they were doing that, Maeve rested her head against his shoulder as he played with her orange locks, which caused her to drift off while Archer tightened his grip on the warrior princess.
Soon, the Destroyer's cannons started firing, causing Archer to look in the direction the mana shells were flying, and he spotted several ships chasing them, causing Maeve to jump up and see the persuaders.
''The Avaloachian Navy, they are fast, but their ships are weak in all aspects,'' she commented as they watched three shells land on one of the vessels, causing it to explode.
Maeve looked at him with wide eyes, ''Why are your ships so powerful?''
