Chapter 569 The Aetheria Continent

Amaryllis grinned before commenting. ''You're a naughty dragon. Now, let me return to your domain. We have a business to attend to.''

When Archer heard that, a frown appeared on his face, which the brown-skinned witch didn't miss. ''Ara. Will someone miss the little old me? Well, you could always visit the Arcadia Kingdom for a holiday after the Arcane Tournament.''

Once she said that, he remembered Tiamat's warning and grinned. ''Okay. I assume you're teleporting there?''

Amaryllis's eyes narrowed, but she nodded anyway. ''Yes. Could you summon my cousins, please?''

''Of course,'' Archer answered as he closed his eyes and summoned the two Battle Witches already awake.

Scarlett looked around and was shocked when she saw the remains of Archer's one-sided battle. She looked at him and asked. ''What happened here?''

'It looks like a devil descended and butchered these humans. Interesting.' The pink-haired witch thought to herself as she looked at him.

He grinned before answering. ''A kingdom attacked my fiances home and nearly killed her father. So, like a caring lover, here I am dealing with the issue while creating my kingdom.''

Scarlett didn't know what to say when she heard this, but Valencia's eyes glowed. She approached Archer, which caught him off guard and demanded. ''Are you planning to join the dragons against us? Why would you treat us like friends if you planned to betray us!''

Confusion clouded Archer's expression, and an offended look crossed his face, immediately catching the attention of Amaryllis and Scarlett. They knew Valencia's judgment was mistaken and were on the verge of uncovering how wrong it was.

But he snapped at the combat witch. ''Join the dragons! I've only met a handful and have no interest in their silly war. Why would I, Valencia? I've only ever fought for myself, my girls, and no one else. The thought of fighting you witches outside of having fun hasn't crossed my mind. So get that shit out of your mind, and don't accuse me again.''

After speaking, he noticed Marzena standing at the back with a smile. He walked over to the older witch, who said, as he got close. ''Sorry about that, Archer. She is just a suspicious girl and doesn't trust easily.''

When Archer heard her explanation, he nodded before turning to Amaryllis. ''Get ready to teleport us to Aetheria. The Swarm are planning to attack, but I can deal with it.''

Once he was done speaking, the witches all had shocked expressions. But soon, Amaryllis cast a spell teleporting them all to a field outside the capital. When they arrived, he said his farewells before leaving. He summoned his wings before soaring into the sky.

Archer flew for some time, looking for the most significant mountain he could see, and landed on it.?After landing, he soon noticed he wasn't alone. A woman was sitting on a boulder, looking at the landscape below.

The mountaintop was quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was the gentle wind. He looked out at Aetheria, which looked beautiful. To the west, majestic mountains reached for the sky, their peaks covered with snow glistening in the moonlight.

Turning towards the east, dense forests sprawled beneath him. The emerald tops created a sea of green, and he marveled at the patterns woven by the trees, seemingly extending infinitely.

—one for himself and another for Ashara, who observed him with narrowed eyes.

Archer sat down, unwinding, and began enjoying a meat dish he had purchased earlier. The aroma caught Ashara's attention, and her hungry stomach made a sound, which Archer noticed.

He gestured towards the free chair, offering her a meat wrap he had; Archer couldn't remember where he bought it, but it was undeniably delicious. Ashara stubbornly took the food and sat down.

The two sat in silence as the moon was high in the sky. Archer saw many shooting stars, which caught the dragon woman's attention; when the fifth one passed by, Ashara asked in a curious voice. ''I wonder if other worlds are out there. It would be amazing to see them.''

When Archer heard this, he chuckled before answering her confidently. ''I bet there is. There must be, as the universe is massive and uncountable. For we know there is a world with no mana, no demi-humans or dragons on it. Just humans.''

The dragon woman burst into laughter upon hearing his words. After Ashara settled down, she responded, "Imagine if that were true. It would be a nightmare."

Archer internally laughed at the girl for how wrong she was. He knew Earth was different than Thrylos and didn't have mana, or at least he didn't know. After that, the two sat in silence again before Ashara asked. ''Can I come with you to clear these creatures?''

''You do realize it's in the Arcadia Kingdom? I thought you dragons hate the witches?'' He asked while standing up when the first Tressym returned.

The flying cat meowed in happiness as Archer started pampering the beast. Ashara watched this and was shocked. She thought to herself. 'No male dragon would act like this with such a beast. They would laugh at him in the dragon kingdoms.'

But Ashara looked closely. She soon noticed the mana radiating from him and realized the white dragon was already a Sovereign Mage. She thought he was no older than fifteen, so she asked. ''White dragon. How old are you?''

Archer turned around to face the green-haired dragon and scanned her.
