They became upset and initially found it hard to believe what he was saying. However, they soon realized that he wouldn''t lie about such a serious matter.


    Teu was the first to ask him a question, ''''What is this Earth you keep speaking about? Tell us about it.''''


    Archer nodded and began sharing details of his life on Eart. ''''I was a college student studying history, living with my parents, brothers, and sisters. One night, I went on a date with my childhood friend, Alexa.''''


    As he spoke, he closed his eyes, vividly recalling the events as if they had happened only yesterday.


    ''''We went out and had something to eat. On our way home, we were attacked by a guy who had been stalking her.''''


    Archer got a pained look on his face but continued nheless.


    ''''He stabbed me multiple times, and I died that night. After that, I woke up on Thrylos with no memories of my past.''''


    He shook his head and finished speaking. ''''Well, now I remember everything and already feel better.''''


    After speaking, each girl took turns hugging him and offeringforting words. They were shocked to hear about his past, but it changed nothing.


    They still cared about him and were happy that he shared it with them. After he finished answering Teu''s question.


    Hemera approached him and said, "I dreamt a lot about you. Honestly, I think someone had a hand in it, but I''m grateful because I met you."


    He smiled at her, but as he was about to reach for her, the door mmed open, and Eudora appeared with a panicked look on her face.


    ''''The city is under attack! An army has appeared from the west,'''' Eudora spoke loudly.


    Everyone was shocked but stayed calm as Archer stood up and made his way out of the pce while summoning his wings.


    Before he got outside, he opened a portal to the domain and told them to wait, instructing them to inform the general to ready the dragon-kin for battle.


    They nodded and stepped through. Hemera went with them, but Sera stayed behind and joined him.


    The two dragons made their way to the courtyard and took off, looking around once they got high up.


    He gazed to the west and witnessed a wave of Rat-lings, Rat-Orges, and many other creatures.


    There wererge hulking beasts that stood as tall as him in his dragon form, and then he noticed a creature emerging from the earth.


    A colossal creature emerged from the earth. Its immense, snake-like body appeared and was covered in hard scales and its head look like it was born from nightmares.


    As the predator''s unsettling mouth opened, rows of long, sharp, serrated teeth were revealed, glistening with a sinister gleam.


    The mandibles on the sides of its face extended outward, resembling a nightmarish fusion of insect and alien.


    Its mouth stretched wide, giving a glimpse of its dark, cavernous throat, ready to strike with deadly precision.


    As the creature hissed, the mouth seemed to take on a life of its own, a terrifying abyss of primal ferocity and hunter''s instinct.


    It was a monstrous abomination that dwelled deep underground, a creature of nightmares that fed on anything unfortunate enough to cross its path.


    The creature looked like arge evil worm that moved in a creepy slithering motion and headed straight for them.


    Archer was shocked to see such a creature, he had read explorer ounts from the cida continent and mentioned these creatures and quickly scanned the creature.


    [Name: Neothelid]


    [Rank: A+]


    Archer''s heart sank, realizing that this was not just a mere coincidence of two threats converging in the city.


    The Rat-lings were leading the Neothelid toward Ravenna, and the consequences could be catastrophic.


    He thought to himself. ''What is this thing? It looks like it''s from the depths of hell.''''


    Archer and Sera flew toward the western gate and saw the Emperor stationed on the wall with all his royal guards.


    They made their way toward it andnded on the wall not far from him, and Archer walked toward the man as he spoke, ''''So you''re the boy my Hemi wanted me to meet.''''


    He nodded at the man, noticing that he had the same golden eyes as Hemera. Archer shook his head and said, ''''I''m Archer.''''


    Agamemnon looked at the white-haired boy who had scales, wings, horns, and ws. Then he introduced himself.


    ''''I''m Agamemnon Helios, Emperor of the Sri Empire. What brings you here?''''


    Just as Archer was going to reply, a creepy, earth-shattering roar appeared in the distance, and he saw arge giant standing there.


    But there was a group of Rat-lings messing with it, and he thought to himself, ''Are they controlling the giants?''


    He looked at Hemera''s Father and gave him a small bow as he spoke.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    ''''Well, this is Hemera''s home, so I''ll help her while earning experience. Hope you don''t mind.''''


    Archer hopped onto the wall and jumped off, followed by Sera. Theynded on the ground, and he opened arge portal.


    Not long after opening it, hundreds of soldiers walked out of the portal and lined up in front of the city gates.


    They formed a line that blocked therge bridge that led into the city, and a moat circled the city, so the dragon-kin just had to hold their positions.


    Archers, mages, and even the wyverns showed up to the shock of the Sri soldiers who suddenly saw an army appear outside their city.


    Dozens of wyvernsnded in front of the soldiers, eagerly awaiting the order to attack. These wyverns were much bigger than the regr ones.


    General Mohemat approached Archer, who hadnded in front of the shield wall, and greeted him. "Your Majesty, it''s good to see you again. Now I understand why you said we''d see them again."


    Archer nodded in agreement and replied, "Indeed, General. It''s going to be a tough fight, so make sure the soldiers are ready. Also, for the dragon-kin we lost before, I''ll provide something to their families when I find the time."


    The older man nodded understandingly and returned to the soldiers. As Archer turned, he heard Sera''s voice from behind him. "Arch, I want to fight with you. Can I?"


    He smiled at her and said, "Of course you can. Now let''s gather the other girls."


    Archer opened a portal, and the four girls walked through. Teu and E were already donning their armor.


    Hemera wore protective mage robes, courtesy of her father, and Nefertiti had her Arcane robes on, which granted her extra protection.


    The two girls noticed Archer''s gaze and spoke simultaneously, "Father gave me this."


    They chuckled at the coincidence. Archer shook his head affectionately and walked up to each girl, giving them a kiss.


    He reminded them to be careful and assured them that the dragon-kin would protect them. They all nodded, bracing themselves for the iing swarm of enemies.


    That''s when Archer saw humanoid-looking creatures sprinting toward them, he then spotted the archers on the wall.


    General Mohamet shouted. ''''Fire!''''


    A volley of arrows was let loose and plunged into the sprinting creatures, as that was happening Archer scanned them.


    [Name: Mutated Ghouls]


    [Rank: E]


    The creatures screeched and howled as the arrows took down many of them, but the relentless swarm kept advancing.


    Archer and the girls quickly moved behind the shield wall. There, they witnessed a line of dragon-kin holding massive shields in front of them.


    Behind this frontline, another row of dragon-kin wielded long spears that fit into grooves on the shields.


    The General bellowed, "Shield wall, prepare! Brace yourselves for impact!"


    Mohamet started shouting more orders as the first wave of Ghouls came within range of the spears, which the dragon-kin swiftlyunched from the shield wall, skewering the creatures.


    The dragon-kin operated like a well-oiled machine, seamlessly pulling back and thrusting forward their spears to hold the frontline.


    Meanwhile, the mages initiated a downpour of spells. Amidst the chaotic battle, the Sri Emperor observed this small force standing firm against the relentless swarm.


    He pondered what his daughter had done to persuade the young boy to aid them, but recognizing the urgency of the situation, he ordered his mages and archers to assist the neers.


    Despite the thousands of spells and arrows raining down on the Ghouls, they persisted in their advance.


    The frontline remained resolute, but it was evident that they would eventually be forced back.


    Feeling the imminent threat, Archer swiftly addressed the girls, ensuring their survival amidst the chaos.


    "Before therger creatures arrive, E, provide cover. Nefertiti and Hemera, guard her with the help of Teu. Sera, you''re with me."


    Each girl nodded, epting their roles. Archer nodded his head and smiled at them as he ascended into the skies, flying above the fighting dragon-kin.


    Taking a deep breath, he unleashed a violet stream of fire onto the Ghouls, and Sera joined in, her red mes enhancing his attack.


    The Ghouls halted their advance, and recognizing the opportunity, Archer cast Stone Wardens multiple times, summoning a small army of Stone men.


    Positioned between the dragon-kin and the approaching swarm, the Stone men stood ready for action. Upon witnessing this, Archermanded them with a resounding shout.


    "Attack!"
