A Journey That Changed The World. - Chapter 908: Annoying To Protect

Archer looked at Teuila’s new form and was amazed. She was now a Tylosaurus and looked similar to Lucrezia. Thinking about the mosasaur girl, he messaged her using the dragon tattoo to ask.

He soon received a reply explaining everything in her sweet voice that echoed in his mind. [Me and Teu are cousins. The Tylosaurus are distant relatives of my race, but they vanished over two thousand years ago, which shocked the scholars. Even so, I’m glad she unlocked her bloodline]

[What about the other girls? Can they receive Titan forms like you?] He responded.

[No. Some of them received dragon forms while others got a Titan form; it depends on their ancestors]

After that, Archer mentioned catching up with her later, just as Demetra and Kassandra emerged. The Demon Shark girl said concernedly, “There’s a chasm ahead, veiled in darkness I cannot see into.”

“There is an underground network of caves that travels into the Underrealm that the monster scent lingers around; I’m sure there are thousands of monsters inside,” Kassandra excitedly revealed.

When Archer heard this, he grinned. “You three take the caves while I take the darkness as my domain while in my Shadow Prince form,” he said before transforming.

He was able to move around underwater like he was on the surface. Following that, the group split up as Archer dived into the chasm while readying his claws. A giant snake-like monster rushed out of the darkness as he passed a certain point.

Archer scanned it before attacking.

[Trench Pyhton]

[Rank: S]

When Archer saw the creature, he seized its gaping maw, halting its movement. His violet eyes and mouth began to glow. Swiftly, he disappeared into the monster’s shadow. He propelled himself outward from the depths of darkness, slicing through the Trnch Python’s lengthy body.

The beast bellowed in agony, attempting to retreat into the depths, but Archer intercepted it, tearing it asunder. Following the sudden attack, he descended into the deep and was in a void, which made him feel weird.

While glancing around, he spotted a light in the distance, which caused him to swim toward it. He soon came to a massive cavern with glowing Manaheart Crystals that sparkled underwater.

Archer’s eyes glowed with greed before making his way toward the crystal and started sucking them into his Item Box until there was none left. He cleared one last batch, and that’s when a Trench Python lunged at him from behind.

It tried to capture him with its long and slender body, but Archer chuckled before biting straight through flesh and bone using his Shadow Prince teeth. He decimated the monsters before scanning the area with Aura Detector.

Once the mana wave radiated from him, Archer picked up hundreds of monsters, giving him the same feeling as those who attacked the sea wall. When he felt this, he went to work and started butchering them.

It took Archer an hour to clear out the cavern, and when it was empty, he thought about sending a Mining Platform above the area. With that, he returned to where he’d meet the girls.

Thanks to traveling through the shadows, it took him minutes to reach the spot, but the three weren’t there. Archer looked at the cave and headed toward it just before a Trench Shark attacked him.

He slashed the creature into pieces while blasting the other with Eldritch Blast before carrying on through the dark passage, where several more monsters tried to ambush him, but thanks to being a Demi-God, they weren’t a problem.

While traveling down the cave tunnel, he heard a battle in the distance and wondered who the girls were fighting. He sped up, using his mana to go even faster before he arrived at a similar cavern and saw Demetra fighting a massive turtle while Kassandra thought of another Kraken, but this one was big.

Lastly, Teuila was fighting a swarm of Trench Pythons that tried to tangle her up so a massive one could eat her. When Archer saw this, he dived down before hitting the bottom of the

cavern.

Once there, Archer scanned the creatures the girls were battling.

[Dragon Turtle]

[Rank: SS+]

[Deep Trench Kraken]

[Rank: SSS]

[Trench Pythons]

[Rank: SS]

‘Oh, they’re strong,’ he thought with a growing grin.

Archer used his mana to launch himself through the water before striking the Dragon Turtle with a boom. The monster exploded into chunks of meat before focusing on the Deep Trench Kraken.

He shot forward like a missile as his Shadow Prince form tore into the giant monster, who was caught unaware as Archer’s claws ripped through its flesh before diving into the opening and turning the creatures inside into mincemeat.

While Atcher was attacking the Kraken, Demetra, and Kassandra joined Teuila in dealing with the Trench Python and their giant leader, who lunged from the darkness below and wrapped its long body around the Aquarian.

Demetra and Kassandra attacked the monster, but it soon retaliated with its strikes. Minutes passed, and the Deep Trench Kraken stopped thrashing around as its corpse floated to the

bottom.

After Archer finished that, he cast hundreds of Plasma Missiles that sliced through the water and slammed into most of the Trench Pythons and their leader. The spells caused the giant snake to roar in pain.

It was about to react, but Archer shoulder-checked the creature’s head, causing its head to slam into the side of the chasm. He then followed up by plunging his claws into its large red eyes before ripping it out.

Once he did that, the monster thrashed around, trying to escape, but Archer held it in place before taking a deep breath and hitting the Trench Python leader with his dragon breath that

seared through its body.

The giant monster took its last breath before dying. The remaining pythons tried to escape as they fell, but the girls swiftly decimated the read of the horde. Following that, Archer appeared atop Demetra’s head. “Let’s head back home, ladies,” he exclaimed. “I want to relax before the storm arrives.”

They all agreed and made their way back to the surface. While traveling, Archer asked the three, “Can we pass by one of the Mining Platforms? I haven’t seen them yet?”

“Yes, husband,” Teuila replied as she gracefully swam around them with her long, slender

body. “They are amazing but annoying to protect.”

‘I wonder what they have to do to keep the sea monsters away,’ he mused.

Archer shook his head before replying, “What annoys you about it?”

“Smaller creatures try to get through the mana shield, but they die before achieving their goals,” Demetra revealed with a fed-up voice. “If we leave them alone for too long, they manage to get through, which the Sea Guards must deal with.”

When Archer heard this, he nodded, “I’ll capture some powerful sea monsters to guard the platform between your patrols. He said it should make things easier,” the three agreed to. After that, it took them a few minutes to reach the surface, and they stayed under until they reached a massive platform in the middle of the sea. Soon, Demetra aimed at it before exploding out of the water and returning to her humanoid form.

Archer jumped off her and used Blink to appear on the edge. The Demon Shark girl hit the floor beside him as Teuila and Kassandra leaped from the water. When the girls were here, he spotted several warships guarding it from all sides, and cannons were stationed as extra

defense.

He examined the design he had worked hard on; thanks to watching many pointless documentaries and learning about magic, he created the Mining Platform using Farrah’s

original blueprints.

The three girls started looking around in their area, which seemed to be a pickup point as several cranes were nearby. Archer approached Teuila and spanked her toned behind, “Follow

me, Teu, don’t get lost,” he said with a grin.

Archer did the same to the other girls, which earned him a smile and yelp before they continued. There were offices for the managers and a dining hall, bunkhouse, and showers for

the workers.

When Demetra saw this, she questioned, “Why does it feel like a small village? I can even see

a general store?”

“You see, Dem. The workers that spend time out here will be here for three months before

swapping out with fresh ones, but during that time, they need a place to relax, and this is it,” Archer explained while motioning to the buildings. “There’s showers, stores, a tavern, and a

large place for their women to join them.” “What about the children?” Teuila questioned.

“They stay on the mainland with the wives,” Archer replied with a smile. “It’s mostly childless couples who stay here. Their women organize the shipments from the seafloor along

with the paperwork.”

“So they only do the easy work?” Kassandra quipped.

He shook his head, “No. There are female miners and guards, but most choose the easier work

due to how dirty they could get,” he said with a smile. Following that, the group saw a tall man dressed in overalls and was covered in dirt; when

Archer saw the newcomer, he spoke, “This would be the Mining Platforms Manager; he works

for the Wyldheart company.”

“Wyldheart Comany?” Demetra said.

Archer nodded, “It’s called Wyldheart Industries. We’re building the Draconian train system along with the tracks; we’re designing airships and the platforms we’re on now.”‘ “Why are you doing all this, Arch? I understand that you want wealth, but this is way beyond that now,” Teuila spoke in a curious tone.
