A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer nodded and handed over the coins to the man before turning his attention to Stella, who was enthusiastically enjoying her food.

Watching her eat so quickly brought a chuckle from him, and he decided to introduce her to something new.

He pulled out some bread and suggested, "Dip this in the noodle juice. You'll like it."

Stella followed his advice, dipping the bread in the flavorful broth and taking a bite, her face lighting up with the newfound taste.

Pleased to see her enjoy the combination, Archer took out more bread and dipped it into the flavorful broth, taking a bite and discovering that he loved the taste. 

After about ten minutes, the man filled the container to the brim with noodles and pushed it toward Archer.

The old man spoke with gratitude, saying, "Here you go, boy. I'm out of food for the day. Thank you for giving me a day off."

Nodding to the stall owner before taking a mouthful of noodles and storing them in the Item Box.

Once he did that he looked at Stella who was waiting for him. He picked her up and walked onto the street.

Archer cast Blink to reach a nearby roof and summoned the Tressyms to join him. Stella's eyes widened in wonder at the appearance of the cat-like creatures.

He commanded the Tressyms to find all the corrupt nobles, using his Mana Manipulation to share his memories of them.

The Tressyms quickly darted away, and one of them made a playful gesture, licking Stella before vanishing.

Her delighted giggle filled the air as she watched the magical creatures in amazement. The two of them sat down on the roof, enjoying the moment.

Archer retrieved some chocolates from his Item Box and offered a few to Stella, who eagerly accepted them and began eating.

After a short wait, the Tressyms returned, providing Archer with the information he had sought.

He stood up, holding Stella tightly, and then summoned his wings. To Stella's surprise and amazement, he flew into the sky, leaving the rooftop as they soared through the air.

There were only five corrupt noble families in the capital, and Archer didn't want to travel all over the empire, so he decided to sell the information.

With that in mind, he headed toward his first target, holding a giggling Stella who was thoroughly enjoying the flight.

The afternoon air was chilly, with the snow having stopped, replaced by a biting cold wind that stung people's faces.

After flying for a while, Archer arrived at a spacious mansion situated on the southern outskirts of Starfall City.

He descended to the ground and, upon landing, opened a portal and called for Hecate, who promptly appeared.

With a warm smile, she greeted him, saying, ''Hello, My Love. How can I assist you?''

Archer quickly explained, "Can you look after Stella and get to know her? She'll be working with you, after all."

Hecate nodded in agreement and picked up the little girl, who waved at Archer with a small smile.

He assured Stella that he would see her again soon and then watched them step through the portal, leaving him behind.

That's when he approached the entrance and summoned the Nightmare Tigers before ordering them to deal with all the soldiers as he dealt with the nobles.

Soon the beasts rushed off and lunged at the guards at the front gate and took out the soldiers before Archer walked through.

More soldiers rushed at him so he cast Element Bolts made from thunder and sent them flying toward the incoming enemies.

After doing this he ordered the tigers to bring him the head of the family while he flung spells at soldiers who were still alive.

Archer laid down on a patch of grass outside the mansion and summoned some Stone Men and told them to loot the place and bring him all the wealth

He lay on the ground as the Stone Men stormed into the mansion, while the tigers wreaked havoc among the soldiers.

While Archer was resting, he heard the sound of people approaching from the front entrance. He spotted the imperial guards rushing in.

With a sudden rise, Archer brought them to an abrupt halt, concern evident in their eyes the soldiers wondered what to do.

At that moment, one of the guards dashed out of the entrance, covered in blood, attempting to escape.

But as he fled, a Nightmare Tiger emerged and pounced on the fleeing man and everyone heard a shriek as the soldier was dragged back into the mansion.

That's when he saw an older man walking up to him and knelt as he spoke. ''White Prince. What is going on here?''

Archer looked at the man and answered. ''The emperor has some sneaky nobles who betrayed the empire and now I'm here to claim their wealth before they die.''

The commander looked taken aback but quickly shook his head before asking. ''Where is your evidence?''

Archer grinned before acting Mana Manipulation and showed the man the memories he received in the war.

When the commander saw this he was shocked but sighed. ''Your Highness we will alert the emperor and make sure he knows you discovered this betrayal.''

He nodded before summoning Scar from the Silverthrone mansion and jumped on his back before all the tigers gathered while holding the Duke's family.

After that, all the Stone Men return holding the wealth that Archer stored in his Item box.

Once they were all assembled, Archer dismissed the Stone Men and directed the tigers to follow him as they proceeded to the next noble mansion.

Arriving at the second mansion, he summoned more Nightmare Tigers, that rushed into the mansion, causing chaos.

The ferocious creatures dragged the panicked Count outside, but Archer approached the noble and slapped him to silence his frantic protests.

With the Count now silent, Archer summoned the Stone Men and instructed them to ransack the mansion.

The Stone Men efficiently carried out their task, extracting a dozen chests and placing them in front of him. Without delay, Archer secured the chests for himself.

He turned his attention to the city guard commander, a hint of amusement in his voice, as he said, ''I will handle these corrupt nobles to ensure the others behave. But make sure the emperor knows he needs to reward me for this.''

After delivering his message, Archer ordered Scar and the rest of the group to proceed to the other noble families, where they captured the corrupt nobles as well.

By the time he was finished, chaos had engulfed Starfall. Archer now stood outside the city looking at all his captives and wondered what to do with them.

A group of fifty nobles whom he knew were involved in the war or helping that strange group connect with the Church Of Light thanks to using Soul Eater on some of the leaders.

Archer was pacing in front of them and started thinking of punishments for all of them. He wanted to send a message not to mess with him.

That's when he got a good idea and stopped in front of the group as they all looked at him with fear on their faces.

Archer had a big smile on his face as he spoke. ''Now you stupid humans either helped the enemies of the empire or worked with that dodgy group to capture me.''

Archer took out a bottle of ale and started drinking it before continuing, "I'll administer a punishment that will make anyone think twice before challenging me."

One of the older men, a Duke, stood up to voice his complaint. "What do you mean punishments? Only the emperor can do such a thing."

Archer burst into laughter upon hearing this and revealed the truth to the man. "Oh, you poor delusional human. Do you think the emperor will stop me?"

He turned to the city wall and pointed, adding with a big smile, "See, all the generals, nobles, and soldiers are watching. No one will save you, they wouldn't dare to, to be honest."

After finishing his words, Archer directed his attention to the corrupt Duke. He walked over to the man, seized him, and forcibly moved him to the forefront of the group.

Creating a very tall pole with Mana Manipulation, Archer inflicted serious injuries by breaking the man's arms and legs.

He summoned his wings and hovered up before sticking the Duke into the pole and molded the pole around him while screaming.

Archer repeated this with all the other nobles and spelled out a word that the emperor would see from the floating islands.

Once he was done he flew backwards to see his handiwork. There were dozens of screaming nobles pleading for him to end their lives but he ignored them.

As the sun began to set, Archer decided to return to his domain, looking forward to some relaxation.

Those who had witnessed the scene were left to wonder whether he was just a boy or something closer to a devil.
