A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 370 Heʼs Finally Back

Days passed by and the weather worsened as the siege of Starfall was still going strong as the five-army enemy alliance pressed their attacks as reinforcements poured in.

They couldnʼt breach the cityʼs walls and were pushed back every time and Duke Leonard was being held at bay five miles from the capital.

The Stormhaven and Fjordhelm soldiers sent their beasts to attack the wall but the Avalonian mages swiftly dealt with them.

While the beasts attacked, the Icehaven, Frostfallen, and Silverpeak soldiers bombarded the city and destroyed numerous buildings.

The citizens had been moved underground, a testament to the Emperorʼs quick thinking, finding shelter within the underground tunnels.

A makeshift city sprang up below the ground, born out of sheer necessity, as the looming threat of the enemy siege engines rendered the outer city perilous.

Above, the Emperor extended the privilege of shelter on the floating island to the nobles, knowing that the siege engines could do little harm to it.

Ella and Leira were gathered on a balcony connected to her bedroom after taking care of the injured Sera.

From their vantage point, they observed the encampment that the nobles had created below.

However, their peaceful moments throughout the past weeks were often disrupted by the young nobles, particularly the boys who seemed drawn to Ella and Sera.

Sera wasted no time in dealing with any who dared approach too closely and burned their hair off causing the rest to stay away.

As they enjoyed their tea, the chime of a bell suddenly resounded throughout the city, causing them to jump up and rush to the floating islandʼs towering wall.

Upon reaching the top, their hearts sank as they witnessed the city wall below crumbling into ruin.

Cheers erupted from the enemy army below as they charged toward the breach in the walls.

As the defenders of Starfall City and the encroaching enemy forces stood on the brink of battle.

Swords were drawn, banners fluttered defiantly in the wind, and the clash of steel against steel seemed imminent.

Just as the armies were about to collide, a sudden, thunderous roar echoed through the battlefield.

A terrifying, bone-chilling noise filled the air, filled with anger and primal fury. Soldiers from both sides froze, looking scared and shocked.

The loud roar echo made the ground shake. In the midst of the frightened soldiers, the three girls exchanged knowing looks.

Ella whispered to herself with a big smile on her face. ʼʼHeʼs finally back.ʼʼ

[The Nether Realm]

[Sometime before the siege of Starfall City]

Llyniel ended up joining him in bed as the air became really cold to the point that they started shivering.

The two of them cuddled up to each other and found warmth in each other. They soon fell asleep after Archer cast Cosmic Shield around them and used Mana Manipulation to create flame orbs that heated the inside.

The next morning he woke up to hear banging against the cabin walls, Archer got out of bed and looked out the window that was close by.

He saw heavy rain thrashing against it and thunder going off in the distance. Once he was done watching the weather he put on some fresh clothing.

Archer stepped out of the cabin as he cast Cosmic Shield to envelop himself. With it in place, he proceeded to visit Rexy.

She lay nestled within a cavern thoughtfully made by Llyniel who the Netherbeast loved a few weeks back which the creature loved.

There were corpses all over the place so he knew she was eating and made his way back to the cabin and noticed that the little wood elf was awake.

Llyniel turned to him with a big smile and motioned for him to sit at the table while she finished cooking.

Archer sat down and started eating once she was done. There was meat, what looked like mashed potato, and some vegetables.

Once he was done eating he walked over to Llyniel who was cleaning the plates and kissed her before making his way into the living room.

When he did he took out the three Hydra eggs he got from the exotic beast trader. Archer placed them on the table in front of him.

They looked like three stone ornaments but he felt a tiny bit of mana coming from each one and grew curious.

So he sent the same amount of mana into each one apart from the first one which he put a little too much into.

Thatʼs when he felt something latch onto it as a connection was formed between Archer and the three eggs.

He then took them to an empty bedroom and left them on the bed to make sure they would be okay.

After doing all that he left the cabin and summoned his wings before taking off to go level up and capture more Netherbeasts.

He flew around for hours attacking hordes of creatures everywhere he went. By the time he took a rest from hunting he was hovering over a large dark lake.

Archerʼs Aura Detector picked up a single pin from below him so he cast Blink and appeared far away from the spot he was at.

Thatʼs when a large beast flew out of the water and snapped its large jaws but Archer was quicker.

He cast Eldritch Blast several times into the body of the creature causing it to slam into the surface and start to shink until a large tentacle grabbed it.

It was dragged beneath the surface, Archer watched with a spark of curiosity in his eyes.

However, he quickly shook his head and returned his focus to his relentless hunt. He flew around killing even more Netherbeasts.

By the time the storm calmed down he was sitting on the top of a mountain, he looked around and spotted loads of Netherbeasts roaming around before he returned to the cabin.

Once Archer was inside he sat down and checked his status as he had been eating hearts nonstop.

[Experience: 945,000/2000000]

[Level Up: 581>584]

[Sp: 0>406]

[Hp: 21000>21500]

[Strength: 11500>12500]

[Constitution: 12000>13000]

[Stamina: 12500>13500]

[Charisma: 9500>9800]

[Intelligence: 11600>12600]

Noticing an abundance of points he had collected since his last status check, he chose to allocate them towards improving his other attributes rather than increasing his mana.

He distributed his points as follows: he allocated one hundred Status Points to HP and Strength, distributed fifty points each to Constitution, Stamina, and Charisma, and assigned fifty-six points to Intelligence.

[Hp: 21500>22500]

[Strength: 12500>13500]

[Constitution: 13000>13500]

[Stamina: 13500>14000]

[Charisma: 9800>10300]

[Intelligence: 12600>13160]

Happy with his new status he laid down and watched the sunset while listening to Llyniel talking to the spirits in the garden.

Archer soon fell asleep once he got really comfortable and the wood elf woke him up with a poke as he heard her sweet voice. ʼʼWake up sleepyhead. I got some food for you.ʼʼ

His eyes slowly opened and saw her smiling down at him before walking over humming. As he watched her walk away he stood up.

The two of them ate before he went out to hunt some more and found large ape-looking Netherbeasts and beat them up until they joined the army.

After doing this for months Archer decided it was time to return and expand the domain for his new Monster Army.

He stopped killing days before and just captured them all before returning to the cabin and saw Llyniel meditating.

She wanted to take the next step in their relationship but he had an order to these kinds of things and Leira was next.

Until he claimed the cat girl, Llyniel would have to wait which she was happy to do. As she was tending to her garden Archer opened a portal to the domain.

Archer didnʼt expect one to open but was surprised when it did. With a shocked look on his face, he stepped through.

Once he stepped through the portal he appeared in the treehouse and got a nostalgic feeling as itʼs been over a year since heʼd been here.

But he noticed that the place looked like no one had been there. Archer ignored that for now and teleported to an empty part of the domain.

Archer closed his eyes and started upgrading his domain by making it as big as his mana allowed.

He came to a halt when he sensed his mana nearly gone, his breaths coming in heavy gasps, and his body drenched in sweat.

Archer felt his Mana Regeneration kick in and his body started sucking in the mana of the world until he felt recharged.

Once he felt better he looked up and started recreating the Nether Realm by making jungles, forests, woodlands, deserts, mountains, and all sorts of different landscapes.

He made sure the Nightmare Ants, Chulls, and Cave Spiders could find a home. When he was done he returned to the Nether Realm.

When he stepped through the domain portal he felt something coming from the cabin and his eyes opened wide.
