Chapter 268  Sunfire Mountains 

As the two of them were chatting, an angry cat was watching from a distance and Archer soon noticed him.

He decided to annoy the man as he moved closer to Talila and wrapped his arm around her waist catching the girl off guard.

She tried to escape his grasp but it was of no use, she looked up at him and hissed as she settled into his arms. \'\'What are you doing? Why are you touching me like this.\'\'

Archer loved her reaction and he moved behind her, he leaned down to whisper into her ear causing her to shiver.

\'\'Your mine already Tali. You just don\'t know it yet.\'\' He said with a low voice that she loved but would never admit it.

Archer stepped back, playfully slapping her toned ass which left the older girl slightly annoyed. She started chasing after him in frustration, while he ran away, laughing.

After the girls finished their shopping, the group exited the fort and continued down the road.

They walked for hours until the sun started to set. Talila, Cecelia, and Feyra were engaged in conversation with the girls, while Archer munched on bread as they walked.

He had activated his Aura Detection, yet it failed to pick up anything unusual as they drew closer to the mountain.

Novius walked beside him and started a conversation. "You know, the Uncharted Beastlands are divided into two parts. The part we\'re in right now is shared between Mediterra and the Land of Plenty. The Nagendria Kingdom erected the fort for their merchants who travel south."

Archer glanced at the bald mage and inquired, "And what about the second part?"

The man responded, "It borders the Nagendria kingdom in the south, there is a massive swamp and jungle. Beyond that lies the first city, Dawnstone."

Archer nodded as Novius finished explaining, his curiosity piqued. He posed another question, "Where does the Avalon border fit into this?"

Novius grinned and replied, "You see, it\'s right between the Moonwood Empire and the Nagendria Kingdom in the north. There\'s the Sunfire Mountain Range that takes you to Sentinel\'s Reach, the castle that watches over Avalon\'s south."

Archer thanked him for the info, Novius nodded and walked over to talk to Radyn. While they chatted, he began to feel strange signals coming from the far-off forest.

Heading toward the girls, he hurriedly told them about the approaching danger. Out of the woods came a swarm of terrifying creatures, rushing on two legs straight toward them.

The setting sun made the scene even worse as it started to get dark. Archer quickly cast Crown of Stars and violet motes appeared all around him.

Archer noticed their once-human features were twisted into grotesque masks of horror, with elongated limbs that moved in disturbingly unnatural ways.

Their skin bore a pallid gray hue, marred by patches of decaying flesh that gleamed with a wet sheen in the faint light.

Once human fingers had twisted into elongated, gnarled claws, ready to tear flesh from bone with a dreadful and precise force.

When Archer saw this he Blinked in front of the group and started casting spells at the incoming creatures.

\'Azur Cannon.\'

A surge of azure light erupted from his outstretched hand, a dazzling beam of pure magical energy that tore through the night like a comet streaking across the sky.

A surge of azure light erupted from his outstretched hands, a dazzling beam of pure magical energy that tore through the night like a comet streaking across the sky.

Its brilliance illuminated the darkness, exposing the horror etched on the faces of the creatures as they grasped the impending and devastating force.

The horde and the Azur Cannon collided head-on, giving birth to an explosion of cataclysmic proportions.

This collision generated a shockwave that rippled outward, shaking the ground and scattering debris in all directions.

Thrown into disarray, the creatures had their twisted forms torn apart by the spell\'s unforgiving power.

Archer wasn\'t done with them just then as he cast Flashpoint and started aiming at the surviving creatures and quickly put them down.

He approached the smouldering horde but a few pounced out of nowhere but were taken out by the violet motes.

They acted like homing missiles and shot into the creatures. Archer looked at the creatures and wondered what they were.

That\'s when he spotted more coming, he looked up and used Analyze on the creatures.

Archer\'s curiosity was piqued, and he swiftly dispatched them using Elemental Bolts forged from the fire that pierced the creatures\' heads.

The lifeless bodies fell, leaving the Sparrows in shock. They braced themselves for a fight, but Talila and Cecelia noticed the girls\' smiles and approving nods.

Approaching them, Talila inquired, "Is this a common occurrence for him?"

Ella nodded and explained, "Yes, he tends to go all out when casting spells. But it\'s quite mesmerizing."

Sera chimed in, "His magic is so beautiful. I really enjoy watching it."

The other three girls agreed with nods, surprising the two women. As the tense atmosphere eased, Archer let out a sigh, realizing that there were no more danger signals.

Returning to the group, he turned to the girls and asked, "Would you prefer staying in a domain or camping? It\'s your choice for tonight."

They all chose the domain because of the creepy-looking creatures that had appeared. As the girls and Sparrows stepped through the portal, Archer detected an incoming attack.

He whispered to himself, "Draconis."

Archer\'s draconic form appeared as he spread his wings to defend the portal. Dark magic slammed into him, but thanks to Anti-Magic, it had no effect.

The spell bounced off him and exploded to the side. He turned around and spotted a hooded group approaching him.

Ella moved to help, but Archer couldn\'t protect everyone from their spells.

He reminded her that he had been training with Teuila every night and promised he would return because he had to train with her again.

The half-elf nodded and passed through as he closed the portal. He dismissed his claws and cast Cosmic Sword.

Two short swords appeared in his hands, he cast Blink and materialized in the middle of the new group.

With a confident grin, Archer\'s lips curled into a cruel smirk as he skillfully engaged the newcomers who revealed themselves to be dark mages.

The air crackled with magic around him, but it had no effect as the dodging spells with calculated precision.

spells harmlessly bounced off him. He moved gracefully, showing the skill he gained from training with Teuila.

As the battle raged on, he deftly weaved through their attacks, dodging spells with calculated precision.

The dark mages, each casting their sinister incantations, found themselves struggling to keep up with his lightning-fast movements and the deadly accuracy of his strikes.

Despite their chants repeatedly mentioning a "white dragon," Archer paid little heed to their words, fully focused on the task at hand.

His violet eyes blazed with excitement as he channeled his magic through the Cosmic Swords in his hands.

With each swing and thrust of his blades, the dark mages fell one by one. His movements were a mesmerizing dance of death, his swords carving through the air with lethal elegance.

The clash of metal against magic echoed through the clearing as Archer\'s confidence grew with every successful strike.

His smile never wavered, even as he faced down overwhelming odds. Finally, only one dark mage remained standing, fear etched across their face as they watched their comrades fall.

Everything went quiet as Archer approached the downed Mage and picked him up by his neck and spoke with an evil smile. \'\'So why are you randomly attacking me? It\'s not polite you know.\'\'

The dark mage struggled against him, yet his efforts were in vain. Archer delivered several sharp slaps before speaking firmly. "Talk now, or you\'ll soon be wishing for death."

He quickly started speaking. \'\'We want your heart. Legend speaks of white dragon hearts will bring our leader back.\'\'

Archer looked at the man and smiled as he guessed they had treasure so he questioned the man. \'\'So I assume you belong to a group with a headquarters?\'\'

The man nodded his head causing his smile to grow wider as he continued. \'\'So where is this place you speak off? I want to visit and inspect your gold.\'\'

After speaking he summoned his claws and used them to dig into the man\'s neck causing him to quickly talk. \'\'It\'s in the Starlight Mountains, there is an abandoned town we took over.\'\'

Archer nodded as he put his free hand on the man\'s hand and cast Void Blaze into his head. The man couldn\'t even scream due to how quickly it happened.

He took off and started to fly north getting ever closer to the Avalon Empire.
