Chapter 349 The Nether Realm (3)
?
Archer engaged in an hour long battle with the creatures, and just when they began to flee, he refused to let them escape.
He single-handedly subdued more than a thousand of them. As he did with the previous creatures he sent them to their nests to breed more.
After he was done he returned to the peak. When he got closer he returned to his humanoid form and descended to the ground.
As he touched dirt Llyniel popped out. She smiled when she saw him and commented in a low voice. ”I’m glad you’re okay. Are you hungry?”
Archer nodded as he sat down next to her and started to relax. He lay down and started watching the dark grey sky and wondered where they were.
But he soon shook his head as Llyniel handed him a wooden plate with some meat on it. He looked at her with a confused look.
Llyniel smiled as she answered and her cheeks started turning red. ”I have a lot of food in my storage ring. Mother made sure I would never go hungry.”
He was happy that her Mother cared as he only had bread to eat and started laughing to himself as his Mother from Earth did the same whenever he went on trips.
This caused Llyniel to look at him as her head tilted. ”Why are you laughing?”
Archer stopped and answered. ”It brought back happy memories of someone I used to know.”
She nodded as the two of them started eating but was soon interrupted when the Stone Wardens reacted and attacked something coming from behind them.
He stood up and walked over to the spot to see what was going on. As Archer arrived he saw the Stone Men defeating some creatures who tried sneaking in.
So he cast Stone Warden again and summoned one hundred more. He ordered them to join the others and guard the area.
After he was done he walked back to the little fire that Llyniel made and sat back down before casting Crown of Stars that circled them.
Llyniel was amazed at the sight and her brown eyes shone as she asked. ”What are these Arch?”
He looked at her and wondered why she started calling him that but shrugged before replying. ”It’s one of the spells I learned a while ago.”
”It’s so pretty.” She commented as she stared at the violet motes.
But she soon came to and got embarrassed as she looked away. Archer chuckled before he started eating more meat.
He saw Llyniel nibbling at the meat like a mouse causing a smile to appear on his face as the two ate in silence.
Archer checked his status to see if the thousands of creatures he killed had leveled him up.

When Archer saw this he was shocked, he stood up and stretched his muscles now he had time to pay attention to the aftereffects.
He felt a lot stronger than he was before the fight and now could create another spell and already had an idea.
Archer closed his eyes activated the skill and imagined the spell he wanted to create.
[Spell Creation activated]
After some time he heard a click in his head and saw a notification pop up.
[Soul Eater created]
[Soul Eater is a sinister spell that devours a victim’s very soul, leaving behind an empty shell. In exchange, the caster gains access to the target’s memories]
Archer was happy with his new spell and wanted to test it out on one of those humanoid creatures he had seen before.
After he was done with that he turned to Llyniel who was falling asleep but trying to stay awake with him.
He smiled as he grabbed her causing her to yelp but hugged her close and whispered. ”Go to sleep. You’re tired and falling asleep while sitting up.”
Llyniel looked at him while her cheeks turned red but soon fell asleep while leaning up against him.
Archer used his wing to cover her causing a contented sigh to come from her. While he sat in front of the slowly dying fire he started to remember his life on Earth.
It was strange for him as he now knew he was a new Archer now, but if he could get back to Thrylos he may be able to travel to Earth.
But he put that aside as he wasn’t ready to face that yet. He wanted to see Alexa again but knew now wasn’t the time.
The sky got darker and now the mountain peak was covered in darkness which wasn’t a problem for him.
He activated Aura Detector and got hundreds of pings, when he sensed this he stood up after placing Llyniel down.
Archer cast Cosmic Shield on her to make sure she was safe before taking off. He was now hovering in the air.
His dragon eyes allowed him to see their gaunt, emaciated bodies are a ghoulish parody of humans.
Bones jutting out from beneath sickly covered in disgusting flesh. Their limbs are elongated and sinewy, ending in bony, claw-like appendages that drip with a vile, viscous ichor.
These appendages twitch and convulse uncontrollably as if possessed by a relentless hunger.
Their heads are the stuff of nightmares, with hollow, empty eye sockets that radiate an eerie, otherworldly glow, casting a malevolent light on their twisted faces.
Where once were eyes, now were only voids of despair. Their mouths stretch impossibly wide, filled with rows of serrated, dagger-like teeth stained with blood.
The creatures emit a guttural, mournful howl that chills the very soul, a sound that seems to come from a place of eternal suffering.
As they move through the shadows, their grotesque forms seem to flicker and warp, making it nearly impossible to discern their true shape.
Archer smiled as he wanted these creatures in his monster army, he quickly cast Celestial Arrow dozens of times.
The sky lit up as bright arrows appeared in the sky and shot toward the creatures and took them out instantly.
Their bodies evaporated when the arrows hit them by the time Archer killed most of them the rest fled.
When he saw them fleeing he let out an earth-shattering roar that stopped the creatures in their tracks.
He cast Blink and appeared before them which spooked them out. Archer spoke with a grin on his face. ”You will serve me or you will die here. Choose.”
That’s when the creatures saw hundreds of arrows appearing around them causing them to submit to the crazy white-haired boy that chased them.
Archer looked at the creepy-looking creatures and wondered how smart they were. He shrugged and told them to gather more of their kind.
A creature who was bigger than the rest nodded and they took off. Archer made his way back to the sleeping Llyniel.
Soon he was lying next to the little elf and watched the sky, he saw two moons in the sky and realized that he was on another planet as Thyrlos had one moon.
Archer fell asleep just after casting Cosmic Shield around them. He fell asleep as the night sky turned pitch black and a storm appeared.
The clouds were going crazy and black rain poured down but it just bounced off Archer’s Shield.
[Netherfolk]
As the two slept the natives of this strange world were in a grand meeting. Creepy human-looking things were arguing among themselves.
An elder spoke up as he couldn’t take the arguing. ”We will capture the boy. He is now resting in the Dreadmaw Mountains. He has large stone guards attacking our soldiers and has captured many more who have vanished into thin air.”
The humanoid creature stood up and continued. ”We need to band together to capture him. Once we do, we can power the portal to Thyrlos and many other worlds, so we can leave this dying world.”
They all nodded but another humanoid spoke up. ”He has killed two of our warlocks and thousands of our soldiers. What can we do apart from swarm him and try to use the female he’s with against him.”
The elder nodded and thought about the situation and wondered how strong the weird white-haired boy was.
He decided to send another monster army commanded by a fighting warlock. The elder humanoid issued his orders and sat down to rest.
Some of the individuals hastily exited the chamber, yet a faction reconvened, electing to stand with the warlock and aid in apprehending the boy.
They designated a distinguished member of the Netherfolk nobility to assume command of the assault, seeking to assert their authority over the combative warlock and extend their support.
Following careful coordination, they departed from the city, setting their course toward the mountain where Archer was sleeping.
