A Journey That Changed The World. - Chapter 891: How Did That Happen

[Ella, Sofia, Halime, Nala and Maeve’s POV]

The five girls watched Yevdokiya order the army to capture them with a smug smile. The soldiers rushed forward until the ground started to shake, and a scream rang out. Ella looked up to see a Demi-God overlooking the battle.

But she spotted him. Not far away, a massive snake exploded from the ground and swallowed the powerful enemy before crashing into the city below. When seeing this, the half-elf thought, ‘Mary!’

They all jumped back when giant ants burrowed up from the ground and attacked the surrounding soldiers, while others continued to dig as they saw an army of Massive Spiders climbing out.

Sofia, Nala, and Maeve yelped, while Ella and Halime were fascinated as the monsters battled the panicking Novgorogian soldiers. While the group watched this, a voice rang out, “Escape girls! Mary and I will hold the enemy back.”

Ella turned to see Sia Silverthrone riding atop the biggest spider there was. The monster crushed knights with ease while biting soldiers in half. Maeve turned to her, “Is that Archer’s Sia?”

“Yes. She went missing with Mary, but it looks like they were gathering an army to help us,” the half-elf commented before transforming into her dragon form.

Sofia, Maeve, Halime, and Nala jumped on her back before Ella took off. They started soaring over Verdantia as the battle raged on behind them. The five girls rushed back to Draconia, and when they reached the ocean, a fleet of Draconian ships was firing upon the town.

Ella descended toward the vessel, and when she arrived above it, allowing the four girls to jump off her, she returned to her humanoid form. Once on board, the captain ordered a full retreat back to the kingdom.

The Battlegroup took two days to reach Draconia, where they docked at the Dragon’s Cove Naval Base. Ella and the four girls disembarked before making their way to the palace where Archer was.

Aisha had sent them a message saying that everyone apart from Brooke, who was on Orientia, was helping the Shadowfang Empire with the Swarm. The five girls piled into a carriage the Homeguard organized and took off toward Dragonheart City.

When the group arrived, Aisha greeted them and led them to the garden, where they saw a cocoon with Archer at its center. Ella noticed that Fianna was stuck, which appeared to be an accident caused by her caring for him.

Lucrezia stood there alongside Nefertiti, Leira, and Teuila. When the four noticed the group, they hugged them and explained that the others were off attacking a nearby Swarm that had attempted to take over an island.

As they were catching up, the mosasaur woman quieted everyone and said, “I’ve created the potion, but Archer has just become a Demi-God and will go wild.”

Ella and the other girl’s eyes widened, prompting Halime to ask, “How did that happen? He’s been unconscious.”

Lucrezia grinned before pointing at their abdomens and explained, “The dragon tattoos most of you share with him have been altered; it gave our husband most of the experience we’ve been earning during the fighting.”

Following that, everyone went quiet as Lucrezia poured the potion through a hole the cacoon left open, only to close up as it started pulsating with pure power, which shocked them all. Even the mosasaur girl was taken aback as it overwhelmed her, but that’s when the raccoon started cracking until Fianna dropped out.

The girls all noticed the tattoo, which caused Maeve and Lucrezia to grow jealous until Ella said, “Ladies, something must have happened in there, and Archer will make it up to you both.”

They smiled as Fianna let out an earth-shaking roar before she transformed into a dragon with beautiful reddish gold scales and glowing red eyes. She breathed the same-colored fire into the air.

Fianna moved to the side as a bright white light shone from the broken cocoon, only to hear a deeper and more menacing than frightened everyone there. They all witnessed Archer transform into his dragon form.

Ella noticed Archer was twice as big and looked even more ferocious. His white scales gleamed in the sunlight, and his violet eyes glowed with mana.

[Sia’s POV]

Once the girls were gone, Sia ordered the Warrior Spiders forward; the giant monsters slammed into the Novgorodian lines as Mary fought several Demi-Gods in her humanoid

form.

Sia witnessed the grey-haired Primordial woman slaughter the Church of Lights and Novgorodian elites without effort. She blasted them with green mana blasts that turned them into blood mist.

The battle continued for hours, leaving the battlefield littered with monsters and humanoid corpses stacked into grim mountains. As Mary appeared behind her, Sia was battling a few foot soldiers, “Get to the hole and retreat to the Underrealm. We got what we came for,” she said.

She nodded decisively, commanding the monstrous army to retreat swiftly underground like a tidal wave, leaving the Novgorodians stranded-a rear guard of Under Ants shredded through metal armor and flesh with their razor-sharp mandibles.

Mary swiftly sealed the entrance as the monstrous army and Sia made their way halfway down the tunnel, thwarting the enemy’s pursuit. Once the two women reached the tunnel below, they realized a battle was underway.

The Warrior Spiders and Under Ant Warriors fought Swarm Trolls and thousands of other creatures. Mary’s green eyes narrowed as she spoke, “They have someone nearly as powerful as myself. I need to take them out before they get close.”

Sia looked at the mature woman, “Okay, but be careful, Mary.”

”I’ll be fine. Just head back to Draconia using the tunnels, as we need to stop the Swarms from reaching the island,” Mary replied before vanishing into the darkness as she directed the Warrior Spiders to fight the monsters.

Recognizing that the battle would last a while, Sia messaged the girls for assistance. They agreed to help but informed her that Archer had awakened and was rampaging.

[Back to Archer]

Once the pain subsided, Archer began to fade, prompting Tiamat to smile warmly. “The girls have fulfilled their missions, and now the world awaits your return,” she said eagerly.

He beamed at her before replying, “Thank you for everything, Tia. I look forward to seeing you more often now.”

The dragon goddess nodded affirmatively. “You will, my love, and I hope you embrace it.”

Before Archer could reply, his consciousness was abruptly pulled back into his body, sending his senses into a frenzy. His form began to shift into his dragon shape, but he grew immensely

larger this time.

Archer now spanned eighty meters long and towered forty meters tall, casting a vast shadow over the surrounding landscape. His elongated neck and massive head inadvertently obscured the palace beneath him.

Suddenly sensing the Swarm approaching from Plouria, Archer unleashed a deafening roar that shattered windows for miles. He flapped his gigantic wings, causing a small storm below him before taking off.

He was soaring through the sky when he noticed a swarm of monsters using ramshackle ships to sail toward Draconia. Archer’s excitement ignited as he swooped down and used his claws

to destroy dozens of vessels.

Explosions rang out, and a mana blast slammed into his body, but it didn’t affect him due to his size and Anti-Magic skill that protected him. Archer continued to decimate the Swarms fleet until a massive tentacle erupted from the water.

It wrapped around his body and tried to pull him down, but all Archer did was grunt before flying higher and dragging the Mutated Kraken out of the water, causing the monster to panic, but he bit down on a tentacle and grabbed the creature’s body with his claws. Archer continued his flight, veering towards Verdantia with a plan in mind. In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at the main church of the continent. There, he dropped the monstrous creature directly onto the city of light, sowing chaos in its wake.

Turning towards Plouria to confront the Swarm, Archer’s path was interrupted by the sight of a colossal swarm of flying creatures dispatched by the Terravains, the masterminds behind

the monsters.

Without much thought to his safety, Archer’s excitement soared before he took a deep breath and let out a beautiful violet fire that engulfed the bat-like monsters and mutated wyverns

burnt to ash.

Archer kept snapping his jaws, easily tearing dozens of creatures apart, and his claws

decimated the wyverns. The fight dragged on, but he loved it because he got used to his

bigger body.

As he soared through the sky, he repeatedly cast the Crown of Stars, unleashing violet motes that pursued any monster that dared approach. Meanwhile, the Draconian ships below witnessed a deluge of corpses plummeting into the sea.

The waters quickly turned crimson as blood spilled profusely, stirring hundreds of sea

monsters into a frenzied feeding frenzy. Archer was going wild but was headed straight for the Terravian Demi-Gods that led the Swarm.

As enemies caught sight of him, they attempted to evade, but Archer swiftly seized them in

his jaws. His newfound power enabled him to rend them effortlessly, tearing them in half with ferocious strength.

Following the battle, Archer wiped out the remaining flying monsters. He flew toward Pluoria after the girls told him the Swarm was still running wild all over the continent.
