A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer turned to Aeris when hearing her words with a charming smile. ''Wait until we're back at the fortress or camp for the night. I'll return the favor.''

Her red eyes widened but soon she nodded before replying. ''That would be nice.''

Following that, he pulled out Morena's list and read through the four plants she needed. 'Bloodvines, Starfall Lilies, Blue Magic Grass, Poisonbell and lastly Screaming Wood Bark.'

While walking Archer summoned four Tressyms and ordered them to find all the rare plants they could. Once the flying cats vanished into the jungle, dozens of rustles sounded from all around them.

He went to attack but Aeris commented while transforming into her Dark Wrath form. ''Can I kill these Jungle Lions my love?''

''Go for it,'' he answered before casting Crown of Stars that manifested several violet motes to float around him.

Aeris let out a screech that stopped the monsters from moving as the horrifying noise scared them senseless. Her claws went to work and started tearing the big cats into chunks of meat thanks to her power.

He watched as the Jungle Lions lunge at her, but thanks to her real form they flew right through her before she ripped off its head. Archer's eyes widened as the brutality of her attacks.

'Wraiths are lethal to fight as they can phase out,' he mused with glowing violet eyes. 'I wonder how her grandmother fights, maybe I should have a sparring match with her one day?'

While thinking to himself, one of the Jungle Lions tried to attack but Archer waved his hand and turned the creature to dust with Mana Manipulation. Ten minutes later, Aeris appeared with a monster in her claws.

She sliced its head off before returning to her humanoid form with a big smile. ''That was fun but they were weak.''

Archer was about to speak but a meow echoed out causing his head to snap toward a Treesym who flew through the jungle. The fluffy cat landed on his shoulder while sharing the picture of the side of a mountain.

Reddish green vines were growing from a cave that a Titan crawled out, which looked like a giant crocodile the size of a small mountain. The monster let out a growl at the Tressym who hissed at it before fleeing back to him.

After seeing this, Archer grabbed the cat and started pampering it with strokes and ear rubs, which paralyzed the adorable creature. As he did this, Aeris appeared beside him with a smile.

''If anyone from the Alliance saw this side of you they would doubt themselves,'' she said sweetly. ''You may be a dragon who's killed millions but there's still a nice side which I adore.''

He looked at the young woman and nodded. ''Yes you're right, these little beasts have been with me for many years and I've come to love each one of them for their undying loyalty toward me.''

When the Tressym heard his words, it meowed in happiness before standing up in his arms with its paws on his chest. The cat moved forward and started licking his face, forcing him to smile while laughing.

She beamed when hearing this, but a rustle from behind them caught their attention, prompting the young woman to spin around as a strange-looking human lunged from the shadows, forcing him to act.

Archer materialized between Aeris and the creature in an instant, his hand snapping forward to seize it by the throat. The sudden move provoked the Tressym, and the fluffy feline launched itself at the attacker's face.

With a flurry of razor-sharp claws and gnashing teeth, it tore into its target, unleashing a chorus of ferocious snarls. He dropped the monster but pinned its arms and legs so it couldn't hurt the cat.

While the Tressym went crazy, Aeris appeared beside him with a giggle. ''Now I understand their love for you. That thing is Rank A at best but look how vicious it is.''

Archer chuckled before leaning forward and grabbing the fluffball. ''Calm down girl, it only tried to attack.''

The cat instantly chilled out and started purring as he sent it back to the Domain. Once that was done, he looked at the bloodied humanoid, prompting him to speak. ''Looks like a mutated elf. Maybe from the old realms?''

''I think so,'' Aeris commented while pointing at its head. ''Look at the twisted pointed ears.''

Following that, the two of them continued after he threw the body into the Domain. They trekked through the jungle for a few hours until coming to the mountain range, the Tressym showed him through its scouting.

Moments later, the other cats returned and shared their knowledge, causing a smile to appear as he informed the young woman. ''Looks like we know where all the plants are and each one is guarded by a powerful monster.''

When Aeris heard this, her red eyes widened but a naughty smile appeared. ''How about I give you some motivation?''

''Right here?'' he asked with a chuckle.

The wraith woman nodded while grabbing his waistband and tugging them down a little before a slurping sound echoed out. Archer cast Cosmic Shield to protect them while her head bobbed back and forward.

Ten minutes later, the two of them were walking through the jungle while Aeris was wiping her lips with a knowing smile. ''Thanks for that handsome, it feels like I'm stronger than a week ago,'' she said.

Archer chuckled and slapped her perky ass before revealing. ''You're right, when one of you takes my seed it boosts your power permanently. Wait until we have sex, that's when you'll see the difference.''

The young woman giggled before the duo appeared at the foot of a creepy-looking mountain that pierced the clouds above. While standing there, he scanned their surroundings until spotting something red high above a cave in the distance.

As they approached, a rumbling was felt through the ground, forcing Archer to spot the Titan crawling out of the darkness. When Aeris spotted this monster, her body trembled in fear as she mumbled. ''That thing is so strong.''

''Yes it is,'' he said with an excited smile. ''Get out of the way before the fight starts.''

Just then the massive crocodile let out an earth-shaking roar, prompting him to transform into his dragon form and lunged at the Titan. The beast attacked at the same time, they crashed together as the fight erupted.

As the chaos unfolded, Aeris stood to the side, her wide eyes tracking the fierce battle that her lover was having with the giant monster. With a quick thought, she shifted into her wraith form.

She flew to a ledge above to get out of the way of the carnage below, her gaze fixed on the brutal clash below. The Titan sank its teeth into Archer's leg, wrenching a raw, agony-laced roar from his throat.

Undeterred, he snapped his jaws onto its back in retaliation. Moments later, Aeris watched as her lover yanked his head back with savage force, tearing away a chunk of flesh. The beast howled and recoiled, its grip faltering under the ferocity of his counterattack.

He was more of a monster than human, which fascinated her to no end. 'So that's what the girls meant when they said about him fighting,' she thought.

As Aeris observed the battle unfold with wide eyes, her lover pressed his assault, blood spraying in all directions. Suddenly, she caught sight of him sinking his teeth into the giant crocodile's neck.

With a fierce, guttural growl, he brought the beast's thrashing to a stop, its massive form finally subdued. While she was on the ledge high above Archer, pinned the Titan to the ground.

'Let me go you filthy dragon!' an angry male's voice echoed in his mind.

Archer bit down harder, forcing the crocodile to thrash around as he answered. 'Submit to me and I'll let you live, if not I'll snap your neck.'

When the beast heard this, it went still before agreeing. He let the crocodile go, which made its eyes glow as it lunged forward and clamped down on his front leg. Thanks to the force, his scales cracked under the force.

'Stupid monster!' he raged and twisted his jaw causing a loud crack to echo across the landscape as the Titan fell limp.

Archer returned to his human form while covered in blood and a broken arm that instantly healed as he stored the corpse in his Item Box. Moments later, Aeris appeared beside him with a concerned expression.

''Are you okay?'' she asked while checking him over.

He nodded before summoning his swing and scooping her into a princess carry before flying toward the Bloodvines. Once Archer arrived at the plants, he started storing them away as the wraith woman nuzzled his neck.

''Thank you for letting me join you handsome,'' Aeris said while biting his neck.
