Chapter 347 The Nether Realm
Chapter 347 The Nether Realm
Archer saw the attackers targetting the wood elf and quickly grabbed her instead of casting Null Void, and then everything went black.
The next thing he saw was a blood-red sky as he was falling from the sky, he spread his wings but the explosion ruined them as he protected her.
As they fell he hugged the elf closer to him as he crashed into a mountain causing a landslide.
The two were buried but Llyniel managed to create a hollow for them as they were covered. Archer was injured and one of his wings was damaged.
She panicked and started casting a healing spell. A warm feeling washed over Archer causing him to let out a happy sigh.
He sat up and looked around to see a round cacoon surrounding them, he looked at the little elf who was sitting there looking at him with worry in her eyes.
Archer smiled as he stood up and dismissed his wings to stretch his arms. When he was done with that he activated Aura Detector and was shocked with the results.
Hundreds of pings were above them and some were circling them. He became worried as he had Llyniel to also look after.
He turned to her and asked. ”Can you use your magic to build these shelters often? And is there any way for you to see the outside?”
She nodded her head and spoke in a worried voice. ”Yes it doesn’t take too much mana and I can create a vine to see out and create a mana screen for us to see if that is good?”
Archer smiled as he replied in a reassuring voice. ”That’s perfect. Now do that while I sit down for a second.”
Llyniel smiled and started casting a spell while Archer sent a message to the girls.
[Are you girls okay? Me and Llyniel have been sent to an unknown land and I don’t have enough mana to get home yet]
Upon sending it, he sensed a large amount of mana leave him, more so than usual, spurring him to quickly inspect his mana reserves.
[Mana: 20000/60000]
Getting annoyed he tried casting Gate but nothing happened. He started to think and came to the conclusion they were sent somewhere and he didn’t have enough mana to return.
That’s when the pings increased causing him to look up and see dust falling from the ceiling.
”Archer it’s ready but it looks really bad.” She commented as he stood next to her.
He saw numerous large shapes charging around above them. Archer thought for a little while until he turned to Llyniel and spoke. ”Stay here until the beasts are gone, then come up.”
Llyniel’s eyes widened but she quickly protested. ”What are you doing? You will get hurt if you go out there.”
Archer smiled as he replied. ”I will be fine. But we need to get out of here. We can’t hide in here for long.”
She reluctantly nodded her head before Archer vanished from the hideaway and reappeared above ground.
When he materialized it was dark and the land Archer saw was full of dead trees and piles of bones.
The Land stretched out like a nightmarish canvas, draped in eerie, supernatural stillness. The air thickened with oppressive silence, interrupted solely by an occasional, mournful howl from a distant wind.
The terrain lay in desolation, with crumbling ruins, their skeletal remnants protruding from the earth like the bones of some long-forgotten civilization.
Cracked and broken statues of long-forgotten gods stood sentinel, their features worn away by the relentless passage of time.
The sky above was a sickly shade of gray, with roiling clouds that seemed to ooze darkness rather than rain.
No sun graced this bleak realm, casting the land in perpetual twilight. Archer shivered, feeling as though the very atmosphere conspired to send a chill down his spine.
That’s when he saw grotesque shapes emerge from the shadows, their monstrous forms contorted and twisted by the cruel hand of mutation.
These creatures were unlike anything he had ever seen before, horrific amalgamations of flesh and bone, their grotesque bodies towering over him.
As the creatures surrounded Archer, their unnerving, guttural growls filled the air.
Their eyes gleamed with an eerie, malevolent light, and their misshapen limbs twitched with unnatural energy.
In the face of this nightmarish assembly. His heart raced as he steeled himself for the battle that was about to unfold.
The grotesque creatures closed in, their distorted mouths contorted into wicked smiles.
But before they could get any closer Archer grinned as he whispered. ”Draco.”
A bright light blinded all the creatures that were circling him as he transformed into his dragon form and let out an earth-shattering roar.
Before the creatures could react he used his claws to crush the closest ones as he took a deep breath and let out a stream of violet fire that washed over many of the things.
Archer went to work with teeth, claws, tail, and flames to slaughter the creatures who kept coming.
The battle could be heard for miles as the horrifying creatures were sent flying or bitten in half.
As he was slaughtering them Llyniel watched from before in shock as she saw a massive white dragon going on a rampage.
Archer swung his claws at the incoming creatures and turned them into blood mist. That’s when he saw a large group charging at him.
He took a deep breath and fired his dragon’s breath into the creatures turning them to ash. When he did that the remaining ones looked shocked.
The creature looked at him as Archer decided to scan the beast.
[Netherbeast (Chimera)]
[Rank A+]
The creatures Rank shocked him but he looked at them and spoke in a deep voice. ”Die or serve me.”
When the Netherbeasts heard him they looked taken aback but all nodded pleasing Archer as he commanded them. ”Go to your homes and wait for my roar then return to me.”
They howled before running off into the distance. As Archer saw this he returned to his humanoid form and called for Llyniel who returned to the surface looking scared.
Archer smiled when he saw the little wood elf and spoke in a calm voice. ”Hello, Llyniel. Everything is okay for now.”
She looked up at him with a smile before she answered as she looked around. ”Where are we? Nature is twisted but still here.”
The two of them started walking as his Aura Detector picked up a ping in the distance and turned to face it.
There, just ahead, he glimpsed a deformed humanoid creature, hunched and twisted, its form grotesque and unsettling.
The creature appeared strong, its misshapen limbs bulging with unnatural power. It seemed to be watching them, its malevolent gaze fixed upon him.
Archer couldn’t make out its features clearly, but he could sense the hostility radiating from it.
Before he could react, the deformed creature let out a guttural growl, a sound that sent a shiver down their spines.
In the blink of an eye, the creature vanished, melting into the shadows as if it had never been there. .π
Archer shook his head and the two of them continued walking as he checked his status.
[Experience: 1500/20000]
[Level Up: 462>467]
[Sp: 0>10]
He decided to save up his Status Points and upgrade his mana so he could go home. After checking he saw mountains in the distance.
The two of them headed toward it so Llyniel could use her magic to create a bunker for herself as she wasn’t a fighter.
As they walked Archer felt something grab his hand causing him to look down to see Llyniel holding his hand as she looked around.
That’s when he picked up more attacks and cast Cosmic Shield on Llyniel to protect her. As he finished that he pumped more mana into it to make sure she was safe.
Archer turned to the incoming threats and saw a horde charging at them. So he cast Azur Cannon into the creatures.
Above him, a radiant violet glow intensified and erupted into the approaching crowd, triggering a colossal explosion that reverberated through the earth.
But more creatures appeared forcing Archer to transform into his dragon form and take them out before they swamped the shield.
Archer looked down and put his head next to Llyniel who looked at him with a confused look before he spoke. ”Jump on my head and hold on.”
She nodded and jumped up to his head, once she was up she tightly held onto one of his horns.
But to make things safer Archer cast Mana Manipulation and created a safe place for her to be while he fought.
When Llyniel was safe he got to work and butchered all the creatures and left non alive. After the fight, he stood there looking around. .π
That was when he sensed an incoming attack and raised his wings to defend himself.
