A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 403 Handsomely Rewarded

When he saw the beast he quickly scanned it.

[Abyssal Serpent]

[Rank: SS+]

After scanning the serpent Archer fired a few Eldritch Blasts at the beasts that slammed into their scaly bodies causing explosions to go off.

However, the attacks rebounded off the tough hides of the Abyssal Serpents, eliciting a surge of frustration within Archer.

In response, he quickly cast a Celestial Beam, which struck one of the serpents head-on, sending it hurtling backward.

Realizing the gravity of the situation and the formidable strength of his opponents, Archer came to a swift conclusion.

He understood that it was time to use his dragon form. So he skillfully dodged the lunges of the three imposing beasts, Archer muttered to himself, "Draco."

A radiant light emanated from his body, overwhelming the Serpents who instinctively retreated to shield themselves from it.

In the next moment, Archer underwent a breathtaking transformation. His once human form was now a colossal dragon, standing tall on four massive limbs.

His vast body cast a looming shadow over the three Abyssal Serpents, signifying the immense power he now possessed.

Archer was a formidable sight to behold, a true dragon incarnate. The creatures reacted and lunged at him.

With a deafening roar, he pounced forward, snapping his immense jaws at the nearest Serpent.

His razor-sharp teeth clamped down on the creature's icy scales, and a searing breath of violet flames surged forth.

The Serpent howled in agony as it thrashed and writhed, trying to escape the fiery jaws of the Archer.

But he held firm, his grip unyielding. The flames of his breath weapon licked at the beast's frigid hide, melting it away in sizzling streams.

Simultaneously, he unleashed a powerful strike with his massive claws. The swipe cleaved through the second Serpent's icy defenses, leaving gashes in its armor-like scales.

The beast recoiled, shrieking, and frantically tried to fend off the relentless attacks with its frosty breath.

With a swift, powerful movement of his serpentine tail, Archer smashed it into the third beast, sending it crashing into the frozen ground.

The impact created a shockwave of icy shrapnel, scattering shards of frozen earth in all directions.

Archer threw the one he bit to the side as the fallen Serpent struggled to rise as he advanced, his white form pulsating with raw power.

His massive claws came down upon the beast, slicing through its scaley body and carving into its core.

With the two remaining Abyssal Serpents circling him menacingly, Archer, in his colossal dragon form, prepared to end their threat once and for all.

He unleashed a deafening roar that echoed across the icy landscape, momentarily stunning the serpents.

With precise timing, Archer launched two deadly torrents of his scorching dragon's breath.

The blazing violet flames engulfed the serpents, reducing them to nothing but charred remains.

Immense heat radiated from his breath and scorched the surrounding snow, leaving smoldering patches on the frozen ground.

As the last traces of the serpents disintegrated into ash and cinders, Archer lowered his massive head and lunged toward them with his razor-sharp claws.

In a swift motion, he sliced through the remaining smoke and debris, ensuring that no part of the creatures remained.

Once the fight was over Archer huffed before taking off and flying toward the Frostwyrm Bastion that was well aware of his approach.

Suddenly, massive bolts of mana energy emerged from the castle and streaked toward him with velocity.

Reacting swiftly he flew over the incoming attacks narrowly evading the onslaught as it blazed past him, leaving behind a trail of mana.

Archer cast Blink and appeared above the castle. He returned to his humanoid form and tucked his wings in before dropping.

He freefell and started casting Element Bolts made from fire, before sending them streaking at the castle's artillery.

When the bolts slammed into the weapons, explosions rang out all over the wall and sent the Icehaven soldiers flying.

They crashed to the ground below with a thud. When Archer got closer to the castle he cast Blink and reappeared on the walls.

Standing tall, he activated his Aura Detector, scanning the castle meticulously to locate the prisoners.

Once he had pinpointed their whereabouts, he leaped off the wall after hearing some soldiers below and gracefully landed atop a commander, taking them by surprise.

Archer cast Soul Eater on him and threw his body at more incoming soldiers. Once he did that he knew all the secrets of the castle.

After that, he started walking after casting Crown Of Stars which started taking out many soldiers who got close by shooting their violet motes that burned through their bodies.

But after the spell ran dry he cast Stone Warden and ordered them to attack any soldiers they found.

Once the Stone Men appeared they started attacking the Icehavenians as he made his way inside the castle and walked to the dungeons.

After roaming for fifteen minutes he arrived at a wooden door that he ripped off its hinges and threw it off to the side.

Archer stepped down the stairs and entered the dungeon. When he did a horrid smell struck his nose causing him to recoil backward.

He used Mana Manipulation to get rid of the smell before strolling further in. Archer saw dozens of cages with people inside.

That's when he came across a cell with a family inside. Archer looked at the older man and scanned him.

[Gryffin Snowfang]

[Level: 132]

[Rank: Magus]

Archer smiled when he read the text before dismissing it and speaking to the depressed-looking family. ''So you're the Northern Duke.''

The man struggled to look up as he was emaciated and injured which made his movements slower.

When Archer saw this he ripped off the cell door. He walked up to them and cast Aurora Healing on each one.

Their bodies recovered but they were still starving. There were four of them so he took out two pieces of bread and broke them in half before giving them to the family before speaking.

''When I send you to the palace tell them Archer Wyldheart saved you and expects to be handsomely rewarded for such a feat.''

After talking he stood up before casting Gate to the Avalonian palace and ushered them through before closing it.

All the other prisoners looked at him with pleading eyes but Archer just looked at them before coming up with an idea.

Once exiting the Duke's cell, he addressed the crowd with a booming voice. "I shall set you free and provide you with a new home, but..."

Archer approached the first cage's door before adding, "You must pledge a mana oath, promising never to betray me in any manner."

The prisoners went silent and one man who was much taller than Archer stepped forward and spoke. ''You're the white dragon that rumors speak of?''

When Archer heard the man speak he looked at him before scanning him.

[Feron]

[Level: 321]

[High Mage]

After scanning the man Archer spoke. ''Yes. Why do you ask?''

Feron knelt down and started pledging his allegiance to him. Once he did that dozens of other people did the same.

Archer felt all the oaths and connections form before he started ripping off the cell doors and casting Aurora Healing on them.

Once that was done he opened a portal to the domain before summoning an old face.

Sagana the first Dragon-kin he rescued appeared. When the blue-haired woman stepped she bowed before speaking. ''Your Majesty. It's good to see you, It's been too long.''

Archer smiled before replying. ''Yes, Sagana it's good to see you. Can you take these people back to the domain and explain the rules? I got to head East to deal with the last enemy kingdoms.''

The older woman nodded before saying her farewell and led the prisoners through the portal.

Shortly after that, the dungeon lay empty, prompting Archer to dismiss the Stone Men before casting a Gate leading to Starfall City.

Stepping through the portal, he found himself just outside the main gate, and without delay, he took to the skies, heading eastward.

Despite the absence of snow or rain, the air held an intense, bone-chilling cold that made his every breath visible.

Due to the warmth coming from his mana heart, which shielded him from the elements, he journeyed eastward and beheld three rivers winding their way in separate directions.

Archer was flying high above a frozen land that stretched as far as the eye could see. The lush grassland was blanketed in a pristine layer of snow, transforming it into a glistening, frosty landscape.

The world below resembled a serene painting, where the white expanse extended to the distant horizon, interrupted only by the occasional silhouette of trees.

Amid this frozen beauty, a majestic mountain range rose to prominence, its peaks adorned with the glistening snow that sparkled in the sunlight.

Three rivers snaked through the heart of these mountains, carving their unique paths through the wintry terrain.

Among these immense rivers, one commanded attention, following a brilliant, silvery path as it meandered eastward, its icy waters providing a striking contrast to the snowy surroundings.

The sight of this lone river cutting through the winter wilderness added a touch of nature's artistry to the serene, frozen world through which Archer flew.
