Chapter 408 Bloodaxe Isle
Archer's attention fixated on the Stormhaven Kingdom to the north of Fjordhelm, driven by his curiosity about the island that held the status of being Fjordhelm Kingdom's homeland.
He took to the sky and flew over the rough ocean as the waves splashed high in the air forcing him to ascend so he didn't get sprayed with the cold water.
While flying he cast Cosmic Shield around himself and heated the inside using Mana Manipulation before letting out a sigh as he felt the hot air touch his skin.
After flying for a couple of hours he finally saw the Stormhaven island. But as Archer got closer he saw a dozen ships patrolling the coast.
As he approached the ships, a determination overcame him, and he made the choice to destroy them so they wouldn't bother any invaders.
With a deep breath, he released an earthshaking roar, and his violet flames burst onto the Stormhaven navy.
The ships found themselves trapped in a searing inferno, the sea illuminated by the brilliant display of devastation.
Wooden hulls crackled and charred, and the Stormhavenian sailors on board desperately tried to escape the fiery doom by jumping overboard.
Now reduced to flaming wrecks, the once-proud vessels sent plumes of dark smoke billowing into the sky.
Archer's attack was swift and devastating, leaving the Stormhaven navy in chaos and despair as the violet fire burned.
The sounds of the sea were drowned out by the crackling fire and the desperate cries of the sailors.
Following the fiery destruction of the fleet, Archer took to the skies, soaring over the island in search of any forts or castles.
Archer flew for an hour until he reached a bustling port city nestled at the island's edge, dominated by a grand castle situated prominently in its heart.
He stopped flying and hovered above the city to look for the Stormhaven Bank. Archer soon found it.
That's when he swiftly cast Blink, finding himself outside the building. His abrupt intrusion caught the guards off guard, prompting them to snap to attention.
One of the men, displaying a rough look stepped forward and inquired, "Who are you, boy? Where have you emerged from?"
Archer gazed at the human who was drawing his sword, noting that his armor bore a remarkable resemblance to the Vikings of Earth.
He shook his head before giving the man a smile as he opened a portal and called for the Nightmare Ant Warrior.
When the Netherbeasts stepped through the portal it caused the terrified soldiers to back up in shock.
The Ant Warriors bowed to Archer before he ordered. ''Kill all the soldiers and leave the unarmed people alive.''
The Nightmare Ant Warriors, their dark carapaces gleaming ominously, surged forward with a menacing and synchronized clatter.
With an eerie unity, they charged into the ranks of the unsuspecting soldiers, who barely had time to react before being swarmed by the relentless assault.
The ant warriors, their scythed limbs and razor-sharp mandibles at the ready moved rapidly.
They struck with a ferocity that sent shockwaves through the ranks of the soldiers and started causing panic to seep into the enemy.
The clash of steel against chitinous exoskeletons, punctuated by pained cries and the skittering sounds of the ant warriors, filled the air.
Amid the chaos and the cacophony of battle, Archer seized the opportunity to slip away.
With calculated steps, he made his way toward the bank's entrance, his eyes fixed on the door.
Once Archer entered he saw people rushing around panicking while the Ant Warriors were attacking the soldiers.
He walked over to a man who looked like the bank manager and spoke. ''Take me to your vaults or I will kill you.''
When the manager heard this he panicked but started leading him to the vault. He followed behind him with a smile as he left the chaos behind.
Archer wondered how much treasure there would be and became excited. He noticed the bank manager kept looking at him with fear in his eyes.
He was about to talk until an ant warrior appeared around the corner and approached Archer before telling him all the soldiers were gone.
After hearing that he summoned all the ants. When they arrived Archer sent them back to the domain.
Once that was done Archer continued walking until the two came to a large metal door at the bottom of a staircase.
The bank manager made his way down first but once Archer got close he cast Null Void and rendered the magic on the door to vanish,
He kicked the door open and saw many vaults that he pillaged. Archer stored everything in them before casting Gate to the bank's entrance.
When Archer appeared he started walking toward the castle that guarded the city and before he arrived he got an idea.
Once he made it to the walls, he opened a portal to the Beasthaven and summoned hundreds of Chull Warriors and Cave Spiders.
Archer ordered them to kill all the soldiers but capture the commanders and bring them to him.
The Netherbeasts nodded before looking at the wall and started to climb it. The Cave Spiders found it easy as their pointy legs stuck to it.
While the spiders got to work the Chull started making their way to the mote that circled the castle and jumped into the water to do something.
Archer flapped his wings and flew to the top of the wall. When he got there he saw the Cave Spiders attacking the shocked soldiers.
But as he hovered there Archer sensed the Chulls burrowing up and tunneling out of the ground.
They started assailing the scared soldiers who raised the alarm. That was when reinforcements appeared and started fighting with the Netherbeasts.
Chaos erupted as Netherbeasts clashed fiercely with the Stormhaven soldiers all over the castle.
It was a scene of pandemonium, where the clash of exotic beasts and human warriors filled the air with tension and tumult.
Chull Warriors, their massive carapaces gleaming, charged forward with incredible strength and swung their razor-sharp claws and gnashed their pincers.
They tore apart soldiers with ease as their claws clamped down on the human bodies and their legs pierced many enemies.
When the Chull advanced the ground shook with each step of these formidable beasts as they smashed into the ranks of soldiers.
Cave Spiders, agile and venomous, scuttled across the stone walls and darted through the castle's nooks and crannies.
Their webs snared soldiers, rendering them immobilized and vulnerable. With swift strikes and toxic fangs.
Archer watched all this with a smile as he jumped into the fight and wiped out many more soldiers who got in his way.
He made his way to the treasury of the castle and summoned some Nightmare Praetorian Ants. When these monstrous ants appeared he ordered them to kill the higher-ranked soldiers who were still inside.
They agreed and rushed off, shortly after Archer started hearing multiple fights going on all over the place.
As he strolled through the corridors all his Netherbeasts brought him the Stormhaven commanders who he used Soul Eater on.
By devouring the souls, he gained valuable intelligence, learning the exact location of the capital and the city's military strength.
Archer swiftly reached the treasury and, with a powerful Eldritch Blast, shattered the door. It was torn from its hinges, crashing loudly to the floor in a burst of force.
Before he could enter the room he sensed a group of soldiers running toward him. He saw this and smiled as he cast Void Blaze at them.
Archer's eerie violet flames surged forth, enveloping the soldiers in a furious blaze that seemed to defy the laws of the natural world.
The very atmosphere quivered and contorted as the searing heat and flames devoured everything in their relentless advance.
Each soldier found themselves utterly defenseless against this unearthly assault, their cries lost in the unrelenting Void Blaze.
In its aftermath, only smoldering ruins and ash remained as a haunting testament to its devastating power.
Upon seeing the aftermath, he couldn't help but smile. Archer confidently stepped into the room, greeted by a collection of chests, and efficiently began stowing away their contents.
With his new treasure stored in his Item Box, Archer commanded the Netherbeasts to return to the domain.
Once they were gone he left the castle and traveled around the island which he finally knew the name of. 'Bloodaxe Isle.'
He attacked many forts and castles, Archer raided many Stormhaven Banks. By the time he made it to the capital city called Stormhold.
Rumors spread across the island that a dragon boy was wiping out their forces causing the king and nobles to panic.
Circling the island from above, Archer hunted down any wandering armies, leaving destruction in his wake.
After finishing his attack he flew toward Stormhold, that's when Archer set his sights on the capital city that was in the distance and was lit up.
As he arrived above the city, he hovered in the air as he admired the city below and decided not to do too much damage.
With a mischievous glint in his eyes and a big smile, he cast Call Lightning, conjuring the wrath of the skies over the city.
