The following morning, Archer woke to Nyx's soft snores. She was curled up on top of him,
her presence both comforting and endearing. Smiling at the sight, he gently shifted, carefully placing the sleeping dragon back onto the chair.
He then made his way to the bay window. The Red Mist outside was still thick but wasn't as bad as the day before. Archer's draconic eyes spotted figures roaming the street beyond the garden.
While standing there, Archer checked his status since he hadn't done it yet.

Archer was happy at his gains thanks to the girls fighting while he was dying due to the Swarms poison. He decided to rest and talk to Nyx as much as possible before the Red Mist disappeared.
When Nyx woke up, she made him more food, which he enjoyed. The dragon girl also informed him where all the wealth was, which was in the Swarms fortress below. Archer's eyes glowed as he declared, "Before leaving this place, we will steal the treasure and slaughter the monster hordes that have infested Pluoria.
Nyx agreed with a big smile before going to the window. She sighed when she saw that the mist was still outside. While stuck in the treehouse, Archer spoke to the girls and learned everyone was back on Draconia.
Archer told them he was trapped in a dangerous mist, hiding in a treehouse with a dragon woman he had met. Ella responded with a simple but heartfelt, "Be careful." She added that she loved him dearly and was relieved he was safe.
"That half-elf is so caring, I'm glad to have her in my life,' he mused.
While standing there, Alexa popped into his mind, causing a pain in his heart. Archer remembered his first love and wanted to see her again, but he knew he had to get enough mana to open a Gate to Earth.
"I'll have to ask Tiamat to take me back there in my soul form," Archer mused, his gaze fixed on the window.
As hours passed, his patience wore thin. He stood abruptly and cast Blink, appearing outside amidst the mist. It attempted to invade his body, but his mana banished it, forcing the mist to retreat from him as if it were scared.
Archer huffed, "Your poison will no longer harm me," he said in an amused tone. "Come out, Terravain. Let me show you destiny in the making."
He noticed Nyx looking at him with wide eyes, causing him to blow her a kiss just as the Terravain responded in a voice full of malice, "You think highly of yourself, lizard. So what if you're a Demi-God? I've been one for a century now."
When Archer heard the being speak, he didn't even respond but cast Blink to reappear in front of the Terravain and grabbed it by the throat, "You're weak, and I will butcher you all. Thrylos is mine, and there isn't room for two powers."
After speaking, he cast Soul Sunder on the being and ate its soul. Archer discards all the useless information while absorbing the valuable knowledge. Following that, he attacked any Terravian his Aura Detector could find.
'Let me return the favor; you've poisoned me enough times,' he thought while slaughtering them.
Once Archer couldn't find any more enemies, he flew above the treehouse by summoning his wings. He used Mana Manipulation to suck in the mist, which sent his body into turmoil, but sooner his Regeneration kicked in and instantly healed it.
That's when a notification popped up, shocking Archer.
[Skill Learned: Red Mist: Produces a deadly mist that covers an area that the caster chooses - can only be removed by the user]
"This will come in handy,' Archer thought. 'I can create a four-kilometer ring around Draconia to keep the Deep Mining Platform safe. This will keep the nosey kingdoms away from the island.'
Once clearing the mist, he descended to the treehouse's entrance and spotted Nyx with a smile and twinkle in her eyes. When he got close, she spoke, "How did you get rid of the mist?' Archer shrugged, "I used a spell that sucked it into my body," he answered. "But I unlocked the skill to use it myself."
Nyx nodded before summoning her wings, and the two of them started flying around Frostholm and hunting down any Swarm monsters that lurked in the city. It took the duo a few hours to clear the streets.
She showed Archer the hole where the monsters took the city's wealth, which caused his violet eyes to glow with greed. Without warning, he dived into the darkness, followed by Nyx, and
they fell.
Nyx caught up with Archer, who grabbed her by the waist and sped up until he saw a light at the bottom. Then, he slowed down before landing with a thud, which caused the dragon
woman to yelp.
Archer smiled when hearing her reaction, which he found adorable. Following that, the two walked down the giant tunnel as some Blightborn charged at them from the darkness, but they were put down with an Eldritch Blast.
'My spells seem even stronger now,' he mused. "They tear the monsters apart with ease.'
The violet beams sliced several of the creatures in half. While doing this, he got an idea and looked at Nyx, "Stand back. I'm going to test out my new skill."
She nodded with an excited smile as Archer raised his hands and used Red Mist, but what happened next shocked the duo. Instead of the expected red color, it was violet, like his magic, but the mist rushed down the tunnels.
Once that happened, the duo started hearing screams and howls of pain. Archer was excited and started walking through the mist, but it was fascinating that Nyx wasn't affected by the
fog.
Following that, the two continued walking down the tunnel until coming across another Terravian fortress that caused Archer to smile before he cast Eldritch Blast and Plasma
Missiles that slammed into the walls and the enemy on top.
An explosion ripped through the last chamber before Archer summoned his Shadow Creatures and ordered them to hunt every Terravain they could. But as they attacked, he felt some of them being destroyed by stronger foes.
This excited Archer, who turned to Nyx, glancing around the chamber with wide eyes, "Stay behind me and be careful."
Without saying anything else, Archer rushed toward the entrance and crashed through the gate only to see a group of five Terravians holding off the shadow Creatures. When the enemy saw him rushing toward them, they panicked.
"Their scared now.'
But Archer chuckled and activated his Draconis form, his body transforming with power. He used Blink to vanish, reappearing amid his enemies. With a fierce roar, he lashed out, his tail and claws tearing through armor and flesh alike.
'Oh, this feels so good,' he thought while fighting.
The air filled with their agonized screams as Archer carved a path of destruction through their ranks. That's when he lunged at one and clamped down on its neck like a monster before tearing the Terravian head off using his dragon teeth.
Archer was covered in blood, which frightened the remaining Terravians. They tried to flee, but he used Blink to catch them individually while using Mana Manipulation to hold them in
the air.
Once Archer caught the ones who fled, he heard someone walking through the entrance. He then saw Nyx looking around with wide eyes as she spoke, "How did you kill so many? I found
them hard to fight."
He shrugged, "I recently became a Demi-God, which increased my power and made the
Terravians easy to kill."
With that, Archer grabbed one of his enemies, dragging it toward him. He cast Soul Sunder, consuming the enemy's soul like a beast. The being's body went limp, and the others watched
in growing fear.
Archer turned to them all, repeating the process, crushing their bodies after consuming their souls. A sharp headache struck him as he finished, forcing him to one knee and causing Nyx to
rush over with a worried expression.
"Are you okay? What happened?" she said in a concerned tone.
''I'm fine,'' he replied while standing up. "I just ate too many souls and gained too much knowledge that it overwhelmed me, but I've managed to discard most of it while keeping the
useful stuff."
Nyx nodded before giving him a radiant smile as she hugged him and spoke quietly, "Thank you for helping me destroy them. They took Mother and Father from me."
"Did you get into a fight while I was in here?" Archer questioned while brushing a strand of
hair out of her face.
"Yes. A small horde of monsters appeared from behind us, and I dealt with them before they could get to you by using my breath that turned them to ash," Nyx replied while hugging him
tighter. Archer smiled at her response before they separated. He spoke, "Now, let's find the treasure and get you out of here. I want to show you the world, Nyx Drakebane."
Nyx beamed at his words and nodded eagerly. Archer led the way to the chamber where the
treasure was hidden. It took them ten minutes to reach it, and when they arrived, he tore off the stone door protecting the treasure.
"Oh wow. That's a lot of gold," the dragon woman muttered when seeing the mountain of gold and silver coins and many other treasures.
