A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer ignored the continuous flow of experience poured into him and continued casting eldritch Blasts, Plasma Missiles, and Azur Cannons into the Ghouls and Nightwalkers, causing many of them to die before getting close to him.

Regardless of how many spells he used, the Swarm kept coming. Not bothering to worry about that, he turned to see how close the Avalonian elites were, but as he did that, the scene took him by surprise.

They were intercepted by a dozen humanoid creatures resembling the mutant Demigod he fought not long ago. However, Archer felt these monsters weren't as strong as the last ones, so he knew the reinforcements could deal with them before helping with the Swarm.

While watching the uncountable number of monsters, he witnessed a horde of Ratlings surging toward him, their frenzied charge threatening to overwhelm his position with some higher-ranked creatures inside the horde.

A defiant grin spread across his face as the excitement welled. Archer wanted to use a spell he hadn't touched before and quickly cast it while raising his hand because it was perfect for this type of situation, 'Chain Lightning.'

With a resounding crackle, arcs of violet-colored electricity erupted from his outstretched hand, lancing through the air with deadly accuracy. The Ratlings, caught in the electrifying web, convulsed and shrieked as the powerful magic surged through their ranks, scattering them like leaves in a storm.

Undeterred by the onslaught, he stood firm, his grin widening as he witnessed the devastating impact of his spell, but soon found himself surrounded by all kinds of mutants, Ratlings, Ghouls, and Nightwalkers.

Seeing this, Archer thought, 'Are they bringing out all their toys for this fight? But why not attack a smaller city.'

''They're probing the city's defenses,'' he concluded with wide eyes. Archer then continued to cast even more Eldritch Blasts into the creatures.

While doing that, Archer remembered a spell that could wipe out more than one creature and cast it as if he hadn't used it in a while. He let out a primal roar that momentarily stopped them just before he cast Elemental Fury.

Fire, ice, water, earth, lightning, wind, light, and dark orbs appeared around him as the air crackled with anticipation, and the element balls grew into chaotic mana that looked like they wanted to explode.

Archer controlled it by causing it to combine into something even deadlier. When the Swarm closed in and managed to overwhelm the Stone Men, he dismissed the Shadow Creatures before unleashing the Elemental Fury that had been building up.

He released the spell that erupted, and it caused the ground to shake as the beam streaked through the air. As the spell came in contact with the horde of creatures, it decimated them without resistance.

The chaotic mana wiped out hundreds of creatures, allowing the city's defenders to make an impact as the cannons, mages, archers, and any other attacker continued to fire as the Swarm was still recklessly charging forward.

Archer looked toward the ongoing battle in the air and saw the Avalonian Elites massacring the Mutant Creatures. He soon realized the enemy was trying to keep them from helping him, but it was too late, as he had already received all the aid he needed.

Waves of powerful arcane, sun, and moon spells flew over his head and slammed into a group of trolls, causing them to scream in agony as the combination of magic was a torrent of destruction as it washed over them.

The next attack to appear was a wave of fully charged mana arrows released by Ella and Talila. Archer watched the two girls constantly let even more go, causing their bows to glow with mana.

Every new projectile was even stronger than the last. Leira, Llyniel, and Halime were casting powerful fire, nature, and poison spells at a group of Ratlings and Rat Orges charging toward them.

He witnessed the purple-haired girl's fire magic combine with thunder, causing a volatile combination that vaporized the creatures it touched. Meanwhile, he spotted Nala, Teulia, and finally, Sia, which caused him to beam when he saw the older dragon kin woman.

The three warrior girls protected the others by keeping the creatures away from them while they cast their spells and shot their arrows. Archer started to wonder where Sera, Kassandra, and Lucrezia were. But soon, he would find out, as an angry roar was heard over the battle.

Archer looked in the culprit's direction and saw an army of mutated giants that looked twisted and unnatural, which made him shiver. They were your typical giants, but their skin was sickly grey, and they had glowing red eyes.

Bones protruded from parts of its body. When Archer saw this, he thought, 'Those creatures have their hands on giants! How?''

He quickly scanned the lead giant to see what he was dealing with.

[Mutated Tyrant Giant]

[Rank: SS+]

Archer was shocked but realized he was stronger than them, which boosted his confidence. He decided to check the smaller giant with brown-mixed hair covering its body. It looked humanoid but twisted into something horrifying.

[Mutated Mountain Giant]

[Rank: S]

He turned toward the girls and shouted with panic, ''Get back to the city! Things are going to get worse!''

They didn't put up a fight because of the tone of his voice before rushing back to the wall, where the awaiting soldiers let them in and started to help him from the top by casting their spells from safety.

After warning them, he instantly transformed into his dragon form when he saw the giants marching toward the city. Once Archer changed, he let out an earth-shattering roar that shook the ground.

With a powerful flap of his wings, he took off and flew toward the incoming giants. While doing that, Archer took a deep breath and released a wave of violet dragon flames that washed over the army of creatures below the towering monsters.

The flames seared the giant's bottom half but only slowed them down, giving Archer enough time to crash into the lead one. When Archer did that, he started biting and clawing at the giant, causing it to roar in pain.

Archer didn't give up and tore away chunks of the rotten skin while his claws burrowed deep into the creature's stomach. He quickly tore the giant apart before lunging at the next one, and this went on as he managed to distract the incoming giants.

While he was doing this, hundreds of spells washed over the battlefield, clearing the smaller Swarm Creatures, but they did nothing to stop the giant's march.His powerful claws ripped through flesh and shattered bone while his blazing breath engulfed them in violet flames.

But even as Archer killed the giants with seemingly effortless grace, a sinister rumbling echoed from the depths of the earth. A sinkhole a mile from Starfall City erupted violently, spewing forth a horde of colossal giants, each more imposing than the last.

Unbothered by the newcomers, Archer continued his assault. However, amidst the chaos of battle, a colossal figure emerged from the Swarm of giants, towering over the others while staring at him.

With a booming roar, the massive giant charged at Archer, its massive fists crashing down with the force of a raging storm. Despite Archer's best efforts to defend himself, the sheer power of the colossal giant proved overwhelming.

The ain't unleashed a mighty punch and struck him aside as though he were a mere plaything, sending him hurtling through the air like a broken doll. Archer crashed outside the city, causing the soldiers on the wall to stumble.

Archer quickly recovered, but the pain shot through his body as the spot where he got punched was shattered, and the scales had vanished, leaving behind raw flesh. He heard a roar before gazing at the massive giant rushing toward him.

Uncertain of his next move, Archer resorted to casting spells and unleashing streams of fire at the giant assailant, only to watch helplessly as it easily withstand the attack but he could see it take some damage.

Panic began to creep into Archer's thoughts until suddenly, another roar pierced the chaos, a sound he recognized all too well. A shadow covered the landscape, causing Archer and the giant to look up.

They saw an enormous Kraken falling on top of the giant, tangling it up with its tentacles and starting to bite down on it. The giant tried to attack, but Kassandra's tentacles stopped any movement by tangling it up.

She ripped the creature's head clean, a crimson cascade drenching her form. Archer stood in awe, but as the mightier adversary fell, he leaped back into the fray. With the giant vanquished, thanks to being weakened from Archer's previous attacks.

Kassandra hurled its lifeless bulk into the gaping orifice from whence it emerged, resulting in a fierce end for thousands of Ratlings, Ghouls, and Nightwalkers. He released some dragon fire that killed the final creatures who littered the battlefield.

When the battle was dying, Archer returned to his humanoid form alongside Kassandra, who was beaming at him while speaking, ''I can't believe I transformed while out of the sea!''

Archer chuckled, ''Well, It was amazing, Kass,'' he said. ''we can use that to our advantage in future battles.''

The black-haired girl nodded before holding out her fist as her smile brightened. Archer was lost until she explained, ''We touch fists to celebrate our win.''

It dawned on him that he understood her intentions, causing him to gently prod the Kraken Princess, who beamed excitedly and enveloped him in a hug. Archer smiled warmly and reciprocated the embrace.

Just then, Sera appeared in her dragon form, only to swiftly return to her humanoid form and leap toward him just as Kassandra released him from her embrace.
