A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 249 Celestial Serpent

?

The man took a serious look at the young boy and girl before shrugging and giving them permission to go on their quest.

Archer and Hemera walked towards the quest board and began examining the available tasks.

They came across four quests: dealing with a goblin infestation just outside Thessalia village, confronting two bandit groups in the Elaios Forest, and putting an end to a slaver camp located somewhere in the Thalassa Grove to the north.

With the quests in hand, they returned to the counter and handed them over to the same young man.

He glanced between the quests and the couple, registering Archer's card and stamping it to mark the accepted quests.

Archer turned to Hemera and inquired if she wished to become an adventurer too, but she politely declined.

Her focus was on Archer and acquiring knowledge, so she expressed her desire to visit the bookshop.

After sorting out the quests, receiving his rewards for the completed quests, and getting his card back the two made their way to the bookshop.

They searched for half an hour until they found one, and they entered the shop. The grand marble entrance greeted them with its imposing yet inviting presence.

The soft glow of magical torches illuminated the interior, revealing shelves adorned with leather-bound tomes that seemed to whisper ancient incantations.

As they walked deeper into the shop, elegant columns reminiscent of ancient temples towered above them, featuring intricate carvings of mythical creatures and legendary heroes.

The air was filled with the sweet scent of aged parchment and hints of exotic herbs, adding to the mystical ambiance.

Hemera's eyes sparkled with excitement as she roamed the aisles, her fingers gently grazing the spines of the ancient books.

Archer, too, was captivated by the ethereal beauty of the shop, his curiosity piqued by the array of powerful spells waiting to be explored.

He looked at her and told her to get whatever she wanted no matter the cost which excited her even more.

As Hemera perused the array of different books, a mysterious man suddenly materialized before her, seemingly out of thin air.

He spoke in a voice both aged and wise, "Looking for something specific, young one?"

Archer looked at him and answered. ''Some attack spells would be good.''

The store owner nodded his head and walked off, five minutes later he returns with thirteen spellbooks.

He handed them over and Archer read the titles, 'Starfall - Shadow Nova - Void Rift - Soul Sunder - Elemental Barrage - Singularity - Nova Surge - Celestial Serpent - Crystal Shard Storm - Stormforged Hammer - Spirit Surge - Void Collapse - Elemental Convergence'

Archer liked the sound of all the books and asked for the price. "How much for them all?"

The owner was taken aback when he heard the boy before answering, "80 gold for them all, young man."

He smiled when he heard the price and took out the 80 gold coins. Archer gave them to the old man and stored away the books, keeping Starfall out to read while waiting for Hemera.

As he looked up, he saw her roaming around the shop and stacking up books. That's when the store owner shook his head and stored away the gold before speaking, "What is the girl doing?"

Archer looked at the man and replied, "She's choosing books to put in my library so my girls and future children can learn."

The old man looked at him, and a strange look appeared on his face but remained silent and watched the excited girl bouncing around his shop.

After an hour, Archer learned the new spell, and he pulled up the notification.

[Starfall Learned]

He then pulled up the information on the spell.

[Starfall: Summon a shower of shooting stars that rain down upon your enemies, dealing radiant damage in a wide area]

After completing Hemera's book purchase, a mountain of books now stacked up on the counter.

The old man made his way over to count them, calling for assistance from a young woman who emerged from the back. Archer stood beside Hemera, who wore a smile.

They counted for a while until the man spoke, "500 gold coins."

Archer handed over the coins and stored away the books Hemera didn't take immediately. The two left the store and made their way to the northern gate, leaving the city behind.

It was then that Archer heard Ella's voice from the bracelet, asking where he was since the twins said he left the domain.

He quickly informed her that he and Hemera were on the road to Larissa and offered for them to join when they were ready.

Ella readily agreed, saying goodbye before Archer and Hemera continued on their journey.

They traveled until the sun began to set, arriving next to a peaceful river and open plains with mountains in the distance.

The sight was admirable to both of them, and they decided to camp out. Archer set up the tent and summoned twelve Stone Men using the Stone Warden spell to guard it, with two of them patrolling the area.I think you should take a look at

Once everything was in order, the couple sat down, and Archer brought out some sweet bread to share with Hemera.

As they ate, they started reading the books he had purchased.

Archer delved into the Celestial Serpent, Void Rift, and Soul Sunder spell books, mastering all three with remarkable proficiency in just a few short hours, astonishing Hemera with his rapid learning pace.

Impressed, she asked, "How are you doing that, Arch?"

He looked up at her and replied, "It's because I'm a white dragon; I find it easy to learn spells."

Hemera nodded and returned to her reading while enjoying some bread. Archer then took out some Zenian desserts for them to try.

After eating, he decided to test out his new spells and informed Hemera of his whereabouts before stepping out of the tent.

The Stone Men stood guard as he walked away from the camp, the two that were patrolling followed him until he reached an open area.

Archer raised his hand and cast his new spell. 'Starfall'

The spell erupted with an otherworldly brilliance, a cascade of celestial energy hurtling from the heavens toward the distant horizon.

As it surged forth, the night sky seemed to shiver and dance with anticipation, the very air quivering in its wake.

A symphony of colors burst forth as the spell collided with the earth's atmosphere.

Brilliant blues and ethereal purples intertwined, forming a tapestry of light that stretched across the heavens.

The initial impact resembled a shimmering comet streaking across the firmament, leaving a trail of stardust in its wake.

The force of the spell's impact echoed through the night, a resonant boom that reverberated across the landscape.

A shockwave rippled outward, causing trees to sway and the ground to tremble. The sheer power of the spell was palpable, a raw and untamed energy harnessed from the cosmos.

As the spell's radiant tendrils reached the distant horizon, they blossomed into a breathtaking display of celestial fireworks.

Glittering particles of light exploded in a mesmerizing dance, their brilliance outshining even the brightest stars.

The night was transformed into a celestial spectacle, a canvas painted with the hues of a thousand galaxies.

Archer was amazed by the spell and realized it was a powerful spell but he was excited, he decided to try another spell.

He quickly cast it. 'Celestial Serpent.'

In response, a burst of iridescent light erupted from his fingertips, spiraling upward into the night sky.

The light coalesced into a mesmerizing pattern, forming the shape of a sinuous serpent composed of celestial energy.

The Celestial Serpent, resplendent in its luminescent glory, floated before Archer, its form radiant and fluid.

It undulated gracefully, its movements echoing the ebb and flow of cosmic forces.

The serpent's scales shimmered with the colors of sapphire and amethyst, and its eyes glowed with the wisdom of the stars.

Archer's heart swelled with a mix of exhilaration and reverence as he gazed upon the manifestation of his conjured magic.

The Celestial Serpent seemed to pulsate with celestial energy, a living embodiment of the cosmos itself.

With a mental command, Archer directed the serpent to glide through the air, its movements both majestic and mesmerizing.

The celestial creature weaved intricate patterns, leaving trails of stardust in its wake.

It soared higher into the sky, spiraling around constellations as if dancing to an otherworldly rhythm.

Archer's lips curled into a satisfied smile as he marveled at the spell's success, he was about to turn around when he smelt the aroma of the ocean breeze.

He smiled as he turned around and spotted his ocean princess standing there with her arms crossed under her large boobs.

When Archer saw her he gave her a big smile before speaking. ''Hey Teuila. How are you feeling?''

Teuila just stared at him as she answered. ''I'm okay Arch, but still really sore. I do hope our training session will numb the pain.''

Archer saw her smile and knew she was going to work him to the bone. He looked around to see if the other two girls were there.
