Chapter 654 How Talented She Truly Is

Archer looked at Maeve before his smile grew even more. ”Of course, I will. Ask any of my girls, and they’ll tell you how well I treat them.”

”If you take me away from my wedding, you’ll turn the Avaloch Kingdom and their allies against you, and my father will send assassins?” She asked in a concerned tone.

He shrugged without a worry in the world. ”Being hated even more isn’t new to me, Maeve. Everyone either loves or hates me, which doesn’t bother me anymore. I don’t live my life caring what people think about me. That’s pointless.”

Maeve laughed as they walked back to the others and took a seat. When Teuila and the rest saw them, they greeted her with a smile, and each girl kissed him before Archer asked as he took the sleeping Ella, who reacted by getting closer to him. ”Who’s fighting next?”

Talila was the one to answer in an annoyed tone. ”Zarina then Apollonia. Halime is after them while I’m last.”

Archer smiled before leaning into the mixed elf and spoke in a voice oozing with his charism. ”I can’t wait to see my slave fight. I wonder if I should visit you tonight?”

When Talila heard that, she shivered all over her body but mumbled so none of the other girls could hear. ”Can you? I can make sure the other slave is their Master.”

His grin grew even more before replying. ”You better win and make sure Hali comes with you.”

Talila agreed with a nod and looked over to the snake girl, whose yellow eyes turned to her and smiled. After that, Zarina was called up to the stage, and Archer paid attention to her and scanned her as he didn’t care about being caught, especially by her.

[Zarina Whitestone]

[Level: 86]

[Rank: Master]

‘Oh she’s strong. I hope she can fight.’ He thought to himself before turning to her opponent.

When Archer saw him, he was taken aback by the size difference. The boy stood at seven feet and was built like a tank, but the bear ears caught his attention. He was twice the size of Zarina, who was looking at him with a bored look and got ready to cast her magic.

He scanned using Analyze the Bear Boy and wanted to see his strength.

[Lawrence Blackclaw]

[Level 79]

[Level: Expert]

Archer was impressed and couldn’t wait to see how Zarina would deal with him, but as soon as the referee announced the start of the fight, she dashed forward without waiting, catching Lawrence off guard.

When the crowd saw this, they went crazy and started screaming. Lawrence cast an earth magic spell called Earth Spikes to block the redhead’s approach, but she leaped over it and started spinning and hitting him with a solid kick.

He watched as the bear boy skidded backward, but Zarina didn’t give up as flames appeared on her fist and foot before she launched another attack, which Lawrence couldn’t block this time as dozens of punches slammed into his face.

Archer was stunned before getting excited and wanted to fight the quiet girl, but that’s when Lawrence dropped to the ground unconscious. The cheering started instantly, and Zarina stood there until the referee announced her as the winner.

After that, she left the stage while the healers tended to Lawrence, who was out cold, and that’s when the announcer called out. ”Can Apollonia Nordvania and Pallius Ashguard come to the stage, please.”

When he heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he remembered what he had done to his brothers. The blonde boy with green eyes approached the stage, causing the Avalonian crowd to murmur.

The air around Archer changed, causing all the girls to look at him with concerned expressions until Teuila answered. ”That’s his older brother. They used to torment him until he got his revenge.”

Maeve asked curiously. ”What happened, if you don’t mind me asking?” 𝓝♡vεℓB¡n: A Universe of Stories Awaits.

Teuila looked at Archer, who nodded before returning to the fight as the referee started the battle. His eyes locked on the stage where his brother, Pallius, stood opposite Apollonia. The air crackled with tension as the crowd murmured in anticipation.

Archer watched the pink-haired girl closely and noticed that her skin was pale white and her blue eyes glowed like ice. He remembered that she was an ice queen and didn’t give him the time of day, which annoyed him but made his interest grow.

He shook his head before scanning the two of them and wanted to see their strength.

[Apollania Nordvania]

[Level: 92]

[Rank: Master]

[Pallius Ashguard]

[Level: 73]

[Rank: Expert]

When Archer finished scanning the pale-skinned girl, he continued watching as his brother made the first move. Pallius, with his arrogant smirk firmly in place, began the duel.

He raised his hands and started casting magic. That’s when Archer saw the flames that danced around his fingertips before erupting into a series of fire blasts, each aimed at Apollonia with deadly precision.

But she was no stranger to battles. Archer watched as she dissolved into thin air, her form becoming a wisp of smoke. The blasts passed through the space where she had stood, leaving Pallius momentarily bewildered.

Then, in a heartbeat, the atmosphere shifted. A bone-chilling cold descended upon the stage, causing the air to freeze and thicken. Frost spread like tendrils across the ground, and the audience gasped as the temperature plummeted.

Archer felt a surge of anticipation as he watched Apollonia reappear behind his brother, her silhouette outlined against the icy backdrop. Without hesitation, she raised her hands, gathered the frigid energy surrounding her, and unleashed it in a powerful blast of ice.

The frozen shards tore through the air, striking Pallius squarely in the back. He cried out in shock and pain as the tendrils encased him, sapping his strength and leaving him vulnerable. His heart raced as he witnessed the downfall of his brother.

He loved seeing the ice queen teach him a lesson. As Pallius crumpled to the ground, defeated by Apollonia’s cunning, Archer’s lips curled into a satisfied smirk. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause.

But he remained silent, his gaze never leaving the fallen form of his brother as he thought to himself. ‘He’s lucky his not dead. Maybe one day if he does anything else.’

Following that, the referee declared Apollonia as the victor, signaling the conclusion of her match before Halime’s turn arrived. Rising to her feet, Halime prepared for her fight, but not before Archer offered encouragement. “Good luck, Hali. I have faith in you. You’ve got this.”

She smiled and gave him a nod before approaching the stage where a blonde girl stood. He recognized her as a student from the Starlight Academy and scanned the two to see who was stronger.

[Halime Nagendra]

[Level: 95]

[Rank: Master]

[Lila Snowfang]

[Level: 75]

[Rank: Expert]

When Archer saw a thought of his snake girl losing, but that vanished as he watched her walk up the stairs. Lila stepped forward with a fake smile as she spoke. ”So you’re the poisonous snake I’ve heard so much about.”

Halime bristled but ignored her jab and replied with a grin. ”I once was, yes.”

She looked over to Archer, who blew her a kiss, causing a bright smile to appear, and continued. ”But my husband’s mana somehow stopped me from poisoning people, but I still have access to it as a weapon. Want to see?”

As Halime uttered her words, the referee’s signal marked the commencement of the battle. Lila lunged forward, intent on seizing the advantage. However, a serene smile graced her lips as she focused her energy.

Her yellow snake eyes gleamed with mana as she cast her spell. With a graceful hand motion, she unleashed Poison Wave—a lethal fusion of venomous energy crackling through the air toward her adversary.

The blonde girl’s eyes widened in alarm at the sight of the oncoming assault. Reacting swiftly, she evaded the deadly wave with a nimble leap to the side, narrowly dodging it. Archer watched Halime jump on her like a shark before she could catch her breath.

Halime appeared in front of Lila in a blur of motion, her movements fluid and precise. She delivered a series of devastating strikes with lightning speed, each blow landing surprising strength.

Lila’s staggered backward, her defenses crumbling under the relentless assault. He watched as Halime closed in on her opponent. With a final, decisive move, she leaped into the air, spinning gracefully before delivering a powerful kick straight to Lila’s jaw.

The impact of the strike knocked Lila off balance, sending her tumbling to the ground in a tangled heap. Cheers erupted from the crowd as Halime stood tall, her chest heaving with exertion as she took in the aftermath of her victory.

She had emerged triumphant, proving her strength and skill in battle. Archer watched her with wide eyes and didn’t realize she’d gotten that strong. He turned toward Teuila, who giggled when she saw his expression.

The blue-haired girl explained. ”Nala and I have been training her here and there but never realized how talented she truly is.”

Archer’s smile widened as Halime approached them, and when she reached them, he enveloped the snake girl in a warm embrace, holding her tightly against him. In a soft, tender whisper, he spoke words of affection that stirred something deep within her.
