Chapter 1019: Cover My Back
Archer and the women stepped off the ferry, shocked by the giant metal statue with hundreds of people at the bottom. Nyx turned to him with a big smile as she spoke, “Why waste so
much stuff on this husband?”
He shrugged before replying while glancing around, “It had something to do with freedom; that’s all I know.”
Following that, the group started walking toward the building at its base, only for Archer to notice the storm clouds approaching the city. This concerned him, but he ignored it when they entered the museum.
The place looked like any other one he had visited before; it was about the Status of Liberty. While they walked through the museum looking at all the displays, Ashoka commented in a fascinated voice, “Most things are different compared to Thrylos, but there are a few similar things.”
Archer nodded in agreement before replying, “Give it another twenty years, and our world will be much better while this place slips further down the hill of corruption.”
“Why would they want to live like that?” Maeve questioned while reading the history of the Status of Liberty.
He looked at the orange-haired woman before answering as he joined her, “Free will, my love. When people are given too much freedom, they ruin their lives and those around them.”
Her grey eyes landed on his as she spoke, “Do you plan to clamp down on this so-called free will?”
Archer nodded with a smile, “Yes. I will give them a purpose to live for and make sure they don’t fall into depravity.”
Thunder boomed as the group got deeper inside the museum. Thanks to the windows, they could see waves crashing again on the nearby shore, causing Archer to use Aura Detection to scan the whole island.
After doing this, nothing appeared, which confused him, but he shook his head and followed the woman, ‘What’s going to happen?’ Archer thought while gazing out one of the closest windows.
While looking around them, he noticed the three were gossiping, but something gave him a bad feeling. The more time they spent there, the worse it got, causing him to grow anxious, ‘What is going on?’
That thought was interrupted by a thunderous roar echoing across the island, “White Demon! Fight me!”
When the three women heard this, they all turned to him with a questioning expression causing Archer to shrug as he explained, “I bet it’s a Swarm Commander or some shit. Let’s say hello.”
After that, the group left the museum and noticed a dark cloud covering the area, making the people panic. They rushed inside, causing Archer to think, ‘I wonder if Elizabeth knows about this new visitor.’
While walking, they saw a being floating in the air. The aura of hundreds of monsters appeared around them. Archer noticed a Terravian staring at him with anger and hatred, which made him chuckle as he felt the deep hate this thing held for him.
He unfurled his wings before addressing the women. “Watch my back in case any monsters come and make sure you three have some fun.”
They all agreed with a nod as he took off toward the enemy. When Archer got close, he noticed the creepy humanoid was staring at him with glowing red eyes as it spoke, “What a surprise that the White Demon appears on a world we’re attacking.”
“Oh shut up, you fool. I’m here because of your faction’s stupid Teleportation Blocker,” Archer replied to the Terravian with a smirk. “I still destroyed it and got sent to my original world. So I must thank you for that.”
He watched the humanoid twitch angrily, but Archer didn’t let the being reply as he dashed forward and punched. A loud clap was heard when his fist connected with the Terravians’ face, sending the creature soaring through the air.
Archer chased after it while casting Plasma Missiles that sliced through the air and kept peppering the enemy. He smiled while getting close and noticed the surprised expression on his face.
“They haven’t realized how strong I’ve become,’ he mused before punching the creature a few more times.
After that, Archer heard explosions from the island, causing his head to snap back. He saw the three women battling with a group of Terravians, but it looked like they were giving as well as they got.
‘I will help them as soon as I can.’
Archer continued brutally attacking the Terravian, who was utterly shocked but still managed to fight back. The two of them traded punches that caused a shockwave to ring out. He dodged one attack and landed a deadly blow against the enemy’s chest.
A thunderous crack echoed through the sky as the Terravian soared above, its massive wings cutting through the air. But Archer was relentless, streaking through the clouds in pursuit.
He charged his fist with blazing energy, and as he closed in, he unleashed a devastating punch. Mana surged around the Terravian, swirling like a storm of fury. The force tore through the creature’s form, igniting an explosive blaze that consumed it.
After ten minutes of beating the creature, he grabbed it by the throat before speaking with a knowing smile, “I’m going to eat your soul and find out where you come from. When I do, I will kill everyone you know.”
He watched with grim satisfaction as the Terravian writhed and thrashed against his grip, its battered body desperately trying to resist. Archer’s menacing chuckle echoed through the air, sending a shiver down the creature’s spine.
The Terravian muttered in a voice full of fear, “You are a demon! How can anyone follow
you?”
“What? Your race has no room to talk!” Archer exclaimed. “You’ve slaughtered millions and wiped out cities without a second thought. How dare you judge me!”
He turned toward the island, pointing at Nyx. “Your minions killed her parents, and you’ve been hunting me for years—and I’m the demon? I may be a hypocrite, but you’re something
else.”
Archer’s violet eyes glowed before he continued in a tone full of malice, “Now die for your stupid actions and learn that I am the demon you all fear.”
After that, he cast Soul Sunder and ate the soul of the being like a delicious treat before discarding all the pointless memories of its family and life. Archer soon learned that their base was deep in the Amazon Jungle.
“That’s where you’re hiding,’ he thought, but then he learned there were hundreds of other bases dotting Earth, which annoyed him.
Archer sighed before transforming into his Shadow Prince form and ate the Terravian’s corpse. Afterward, he flew toward the island, where the three women smiled as they finished
the fight.
Maeve flicked her sword to get all the blood off the blade as she spoke cheerfully, “I’ve missed killing the Swarm. They were always fun to butcher.”
‘When did she become so bloodthirsty?’ Archer thought before shaking his head and telling them everything he learned, which surprised the women.
After the battle, he opened a Gate to return to the city, keenly aware of the attention they had drawn. The three ladies stepped through first, and Archer followed closely behind. They emerged in an alleyway beside the familiar noodle shop.
“What do you three want to do?” he asked while pulling out some hotdogs and handing them out.
Nyx’s mix-matched eyes gleamed before she answered, “Can we explore the city to see
what’s here?”
Archer nodded as the other two women wanted to see what New York offered. As the four walked down the busy street, Maeve grabbed his arm and asked, “I think the tattoo is helping
us read this unknown language.”‘
“They offer many benefits, and Tiamat didn’t tell me them all,” he revealed as they dodged a group of schoolchildren gossiping about something while looking at their phones. Thanks to his hearing, Archer heard that they were talking about the Liberty Island Fight. The news didn’t know who was involved, but four people were reported to be seen fighting. The group then explored the city until they got bored and started walking back to the hotel. While doing that, Archer spotted an ice cream shop, causing him to think, ‘We’re getting some!’
He grabbed Maeve and Ashoka’s hands, pulling them eagerly toward the store, with Nyx trailing behind. Her face lit up with a smile as the enticing aroma of their destination wafted
through the air.
The rich, sweet scent of ice cream filled the store as they entered, capturing everyone’s attention. Archer approached the counter, and the women sat down at the closest table while fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cm
he placed their order.
An older lady turned to him with a friendly smile and said in a professional tone, “Hello, customer. What can I get for you?”
“Can I please get four of everything?” Archer replied. The woman looked shocked, but she
quickly agreed.
She keyed in the amount and slid the payment machine toward him. Archer paid without glancing at the total, the soft ping of the transaction drawing his attention to a notification. Elizabeth had sent him more money, and an honest smile spread across his face.
