Archer noticed the concern in Kassandra's eyes and responded with a reassuring smile. "Honestly, having a Kraken daughter would be incredible. She'd be just like you, Kass- beautiful, strong, and supportive."
The black-haired Titan's face lit up with joy as she nestled closer to him, overwheld by happiness. anwhile, Lucrezia sat beside Archer and rested her head gently on his shoulder with a smile on her pretty face.
He put his arm around the blonde, declaring in a determined tone, "I will beco the strongest being on Thrylos so I can give you girls the best, and that's a promise."
The two hugged him even tighter just as Detra sent him a ssage, [Husband, my older brother is and wants to fight you. He's by the southern seawall]
When Archer heard this, he jumped up, saying, "A Demon Shark Prince has co to fight , which will be hilarious when he realizes I'm a Demi-God. Will you ladies like to join and watch?"
Kassandra and Lucrezia narrowed their eyes before nodding in agreent. Afterward, the
three exited the carriage, and as the afternoon sun bead down on them, Archer scooped the Kraken girl into a process carry and summoned his wings before taking off without wasting ti.
The Death Witch followed behind as they soared over the kingdom until reaching the seawall, where Archer heard Detra arguing with soone. When they got closer, he grabbed Lucrezia before using Blink to reappear next to his shark woman.
When Detra spotted him, she stopped arguing with a similar-looking young man with the sa blue hair and yellow shark eyes as hers; she smiled before speaking, "Husband, my brother Tristan wants to fight you."
"Yes, lizard, let's battle and see if you're worthy of becoming my little sister's husband. If not, you will die here, and I will take her back to the empire," the Demon Shark Tristan comnted with a smug grin.
Archer chuckled before asking with a knowing smile as his eyes glowed with excitent, "Are you sure, fish? I'm sure you won't like the outco."
After he spoke, the three won stepped back, causing Tristan to look confused by their actions. Archer scanned the newcor before he launched an attack to see how strong Detra's brother was.
[Tristan Shadowborne]
[Level: 550]
[Rank: Supre Mage]
'Oh, this will be easy,' he mused before shooting forward and landing a punch on the man's jaw, which sent him flying into the sea with a loud crash.
After landing a decisive punch, Archer followed up with his next move, his gaze fixed on Tristan as the Shadowborne prince shifted into his formidable shark form. He transford into his dragon form without hesitation, diving into the water as the young man lunged to bite him in half.
His tail lashed out with a powerful strike as the giant shark surged towards him, sending Tristan spiraling through the water until he crashed into underwater mountains, causing a mini earthquake.
In one swift motion, Archer cast Azur Cannon, a violet beam of concentrated energy. The beam cut through the water precisely, slamming into Tristan and eliciting a roar of pain from the Demon Shark prince.
Archer didn't give Detra's brother a chance, as he used Blink to appear in front of him. He quickly transford into his Shadow Prince form and lted into the underwater shadows, causing Tristen to grow confused until the Demon Shark was sliced along its flank, which made the man scream in pain.
'Now, let's see if you give up after this,' he mused before slashing at Tristan's body, causing blood to pour into the water and attracting many monsters that were lingering in the shadows.
He noticed the Demon Shark was trying to flee by returning to his humanoid form and dashing into a nearby Deep Trench, but Archer caught the man and threw him toward the three girls. Following that, he turned to the creatures hiding.
Archer let out an earth-shattering roar, causing boulders to break into pieces as the monsters fled into the darkness. Once they were gone, he joined the girls on a nearby beach as they stood around Tristan, who was dying due to his body nearly being sliced in half.
"If you take to your Father, I will heal you back to normal," Archer suggested.
Tristan's eyes narrowed, but he nodded due to the searing pain, allowing Archer to cast Aurora Healing on him until he was healed. After that, the young man got to his feet while looking embarrassed.
"I'm Archer Wyldheart, fiance of Detra and king of Draconia," he introduced himself.
"We're also here, husband," Lucrezia said with a smile.
Tristan's eyes widened in surprise as he saw Lucrezia and Kassandra. "Why are you allied with a mosasaur and a kraken?" he demanded, his voice laced with disbelief.
Archer's lips curled into a confident smile. "Allow to introduce you. This is Lucrezia and Kassandra Wyldheart, queens of Draconia."
Both won smiled proudly at the introduction. Tristan's skepticism didn't waver. Turning to Detra, he asked, "You've allied yourself with soone much younger and aligned with the enemy?"
Detra's smile didn't falter as she waved off his concern dismissively. "Archer's strength speaks for itself. He's more than capable of holding his own, even against Father. You'd do well to respect him," she said, her pride evident in her voice.
Tristan nodded before diving into the sea and transforming into his Demon Shark form. Archer glanced at Kassandra, Lucrezia, and Detra, "Do you want to join ?"
The Kraken girl shook her head, "I better not, Arch; the Shadowborne Empire is dangerous for other Titans," she explained.
Archer frowned before replying, "I will wipe out every Demon Shark except Detra if they try to hurt you, Kass.
Kassandra bead, "et the Shadowborne Emperor; I heard he's a man of many connections to the Underrealm and other places,' she inford him with a smile.
He smiled before cuddling the Kraken girl and kissing her before moving on to Lucrezia, who spoke, "I will stay here to defend the islands, my love."
"Thank you. Once I'm back, we three are going on a date," Archer said with a smile.
This chard Kassandra and Lucrezia, but they soon returned his affection before jumping up to the sea wall. Detra jumped into the water while transforming into her normal form, allowing him to jump on her back.
Archer leaned against her dorsal fin, and she cast the usual spell over him before diving and following Tristan. The three swam through the deep sea as the local monsters avoided the
two Demon Sharks.
While traveling, Archer ssaged the girls and inford them of his plans. They all told him to be careful, except Mary stopped Detra from swimming because she said she wanted to
join them.
The two waited for the Primordial; reaching them took her a few minutes. Mary dived into the water and joined Archer on Detra's back, smiling as she started following Tristan again. "Hello, husband. Sorry for getting involved, but the Demon Shark Emperor is dangerous, and
I wanted to be there with you,"
Archer's smile softened as he looked at her. "Thanks, Mary. It's great to see you."
Her smile deepened, and without a word, she leaned in and kissed him tenderly. The kiss was warm and full of unspoken affection. Afterward, they settled into a comfortable silence, enjoying the view as the landscape sped by.
It took the group half a day to arrive at the borders of the Shadowborne Empire, marked by massive monster skulls. Archer noticed a dozen smaller Demon Sharks patrolling the area. They were completely black, which allowed them to camouflage.
'Dem, are these your empire's soldiers?' he sent a ssage to Detra.
'Yes darling,' she replied with a nervous tone. 'Be careful and do not leave my back, or they
will attack you.'
Archer smiled before watching the Demon Sharks surround them, but two roars echoed from Detra and Tristan, which scared them away. He watched this and laughed as they scattered
in all directions.
Soon enough, the shark woman comnted in a wary voice, "We're getting close to the
entrance of the capital, Neptura City."
Following that, Detra dived into the darkness as Mary comnted, "I haven't been to Neptura City in decades. They may have improved it since then."
"Was it bad?" Archer responded.
Mary nodded, "Yes. Death was common, and hundreds died a week, but that's when the current emperor was a young shark and didn't know what he was doing," she explained.
"Will they try to target while traveling?" Archer said
The grey-haired man was about to speak, but Detra replied, "No. The other sharks and monsters won't attack if you're with Tristan or ."
Archer thanked Detra for her guidance and soon noticed a distant glow on the chasm walls. As they swam closer, the light revealed itself to be reflected off the crystal-encrusted ground. After another ten minutes of navigating the deep, the true spectacle erged-a colossal do encasing the city, designed to shield it from the relentless deep-sea currents. As they approached, Archer's eyes widened in awe.
Before him stretched a sprawling tropolis, its countless buildings extending far beyond the horizon. It was an astonishing sight-an intricate cityscape that rivaled those on the surface but set in the profound depths of the ocean.
