Chapter 1147: I Will Pluck Your Feathers
Chapter 1147: I Will Pluck Your Feathers
When Archer heard the dragon woman complain about the weather, he stepped outside the tent after speaking to the group, "I'm going to look around. I can sense dozens of monsters lurking in the surrounding jungle."
The women agreed with a nod, but Nyx quickly spoke up, "Can I join you, darling?"
"Yes, let's go now," he replied with a smile before stepping outside and feeling the rain hit his face.
Without thinking, Archer cast Cosmic Shield around him just as the dragon woman appeared beside him and she summoned her wings. He did the same thing as the two of them took off and started flying around the bay.
Nyx flew next to him but her voice echoed in his mind, 'Do you think the Swarm is here?"
"Most likely, those fuckers are everywhere and seem to bother me," he answered with a chuckle. "But now I'm strong enough to deal with them."'
After speaking Archer watched as the dragon woman swooped down and quickly snatched up several fish before storing them away in her ring. Soon enough, the couple reached the mountain peak that overlooked the sea and bay below.
He landed softly, the faint thud barely disturbing the stillness, as Nyx glided effortlessly around the peaks, scanning for any lurking monsters. Meanwhile, Archer turned his focus to crafting a remarkably cozy cabin.
'I can use this place to spend time with Nyx, Maeve and Ashoka before we leave,' he pondered.
The structure was simple yet efficient, consisting of a single room equipped with a small kitchen and a sturdy table for meals. Using Mana Manipulation, Archer effortlessly shaped and refined every detail, his magic making the construction seamless.
With a finishing touch, he added a solid door and a plush, inviting bed, completing the cabin with a sense of ease and comfort. It would give them a perfect view of the waves crashing onto the rocks below.
This caused him to think, 'Draconia will take this continent for myself once the war is over. We could build colonies up and down the coast.'
Following that, Nyx landed in front of the cabin with a big smile as she asked, "A few flying monsters are lurking in the mountains. Do you want to go collect them while I make us some food with the fish I caught?"
"Do you have other stuff to cook with? Spices?" Archer asked, his voice light as he slid an arm around her waist.
She smiled warmly, leaning in to rest her forehead against his. "Yes," she replied with a soft chuckle. "Ella made sure we all had plenty of food before we left."
"Good, I look forward to the meal," he responded with a smile before giving the dragon woman a passionate kiss, catching her off guard.
They broke apart and continued, "I'll be back soon, but we'll spend some time together."
Nyx nodded before stepping into the cabin and activating the mana lights, which bathed the space in a warm glow. Archer watched as she began preparing to cook, arranging the fish and other ingredients she'd brought out.
Satisfied that she was settled, he unfurled his wings and launched himself into the night sky. As he ascended, he cast Aura Detector, sending out waves of mana like a radar, scanning the surroundings for any signs of the monsters.
'They shouldn't be too hard to find. She said the things were close,' he pondered with a curious expression.
Seconds later, a dozen pings came back to him. Archer's eyes gleamed with greed before flying toward the closest creature, causing his wings to slice through the air as he got ready to scan the beast.
As Archer closed in on the first ping, a shadow burst out of the clouds, striking him with surprising speed. Reacting instantly, he raised his arm to block the sudden attack; the clash sending sparks scattering through the night air.
Instead of flinching, a confident smile spread across his face, his eyes gleaming as he grabbed the monster while scanning it.
[Mountain Griffin]
[Rank S]
When Archer saw this, he quickly smacked the creature, "Don't attack me again or I will pluck your feathers."'
It stopped moving in fear as it understood his threat. He grinned when seeing its submissive attitude. "Good, now you will take me to your leader or I'll eat your soul and find out myself."
The Griffen let out a screech of frustration but let Archer land on its back as the creature flew toward a mountain peak in the distance. When they got close to the summit, more of its kind screeched.
Archer noticed several shadows fluttering around in the mist but ignored them as they weren't strong enough for him to worry. Five minutes later, the Griffin descended to a plateau where several more creatures were.
All the monsters gazed at him, and a bigger one tried to attack him as Archer jumped off the monster's back. When the Griffin got close, he backhanded it, sending it crashing into the mountainside.
"Don't attack me again or I will kill every single one of you," he warned the surrounding monsters.
They all stopped moving, which made Archer grin as he continued, "You guys will serve me and move to my Domain, this will make you stronger and unlimited food so your children will never go hungry."
After he finished speaking, the largest Mountain Griffin emerged-a towering behemoth, twice the size of any other creature in sight. Archer's grin widened, a spark of anticipation in his eyes; he knew the colossal beast was about to strike.
He raised an arm to shield himself as the griffin's talon lashed out. The strike landed with a sharp clash, but instead of tearing flesh, sparks erupted as the strength of his scales deflected
the blow.
In a counterattack, Archer unleashed a devastating Nova Punch, the force of which sent the Griffin leader hurtling into the mountain wall with a thunderous crash. The entire plateau trembled under the impact.
As the other creatures lunged at him in a coordinated assault, he moved with lightning speed, effortlessly dodging every attack that came his way. Following that, he cast Mana
Manipulation to grab every Griffin.
The monsters couldn't move even though we were trying. Archer chuckled at their anger before commenting, "Now that you got that out of your systems, you either serve me or die? That includes your chicks."
Just after he finished speaking, several baby Griffins darted out of a nearby cave and rushed at him. Seconds later, the adult monsters went crazy as they tried to break out of Mana Manipulation, but Archer's magic was too strong for them.
He glanced at them before warning in a vicious voice, "If any of you move an inch, you'll hate
the consequences."
The monsters instantly understand and stop. Archer smiled when he saw this before crouching to lower himself when the creatures got close. Their fluffy feathers ruffled as they chirped nervously, tiny talons scratching at the ground.
"Easy now, I won't hurt you," he murmured, extending a hand filled with bits of dried meat he'd pulled from his Item Box.
One daring chick edged forward, its golden eyes gleaming with curiosity as it crept closer, its tiny talons clicking softly against the ground.
"'There we go," Archer said with a low chuckle, his fingers carefully scratching under its delicate beak as it nibbled at the offered food.
Soon, the others waddled over, clambering onto his arms and shoulders. One even nestled into his hair after they let out several adorable chirps as their little wings covered him with
made him smile.
"All right, you little fluffballs, if you calm down I'll give you some good meat," he said, his
grin broad.
When the baby Griffins heard his voice, their glowing golden eyes snapped to him, filled with eager curiosity. Archer couldn't help but smile at their attention, a hint of warmth softening his usual sharp expression.
Reaching into his Item Box, he pulled out some dragon meat and tossed it toward the group. The chicks erupted into excited chirps, flapping their tiny wings as they scrambled for then/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
fresh meat.
While doing this, the adult Mountain Griffins watched this with shocked expression but that's when Archer sensed several more chicks in the cave but they seemed extremely ill. He stood
up and approached the cave entrance.
The adult monsters went mad, but he looked at the leader and spoke in a frustrated voice, "You have dying chicks in there. They will pass away within a couple of hours." Archer didn't speak anymore before entering the cave and noticed a dozen Griffin checks slumped in several nests. They didn't pay attention to him as he approached the closest one, and he frowned when he saw the baby.
He approached the monster and scooped it up, causing the chick to let out a weak chirp causing him to mumble while scanning the little creature, "Why are you dying? This is weird because I can't sense anything."
