Chapter 479 Hunt Beasts And Try To Find Treasure

Archer nodded at the older woman before leaving the room but spoke. ''Thanks for the information. Me and Halime are going to explore down south. We'll be back in a few hours.''

''I know. These walls have ears, and they hear everything.'' The headmistress commented with a grin.

When he heard this, a big smile appeared on his face when he got a good idea, which caught Ophelia off guard, but Archer and Halime left the room before she could speak.

Once they did, he cast Gate, where he fought the red dragon. The two stepped through it while some students watched in shock.

When they exited the portal, Archer saw the destroyed jungle around them but noticed it was slowly healing itself.

He summoned his wings and took off before suddenly picking up the snake girl, who yelped but got comfortable when she realized what was happening.

With a flap of his wings, they took off and started flying west. While Archer flew, he sent a message to Hemera to tell her mother that he would go tomorrow and is sorry because he got sidetracked.

The sun elf told him she would understand but to make sure to see her tomorrow, and Archer agreed before getting back to the task at hand.

The wind rushed past Archer as he soared westward, carrying Halime, who was clinging to him but looking around in amazement.

After flying for ten minutes, a breathtaking sight emerged on the horizon. A massive, snow-covered jungle nestled on an island off the western coast of the Summerfield Duchy.

As they approached, the jungle revealed its enchanting beauty, a snowy expanse blending seamlessly with the azure waters below.

The island stood as a winter haven, its frozen canopy glistening under the sunlight. Archer adjusted their course, descending gently to give Halime a closer view.

Snow-draped trees painted a peaceful scene, starkly contrasting the lively green jungles they had encountered earlier.

However, Archer saw the snow was melting upon touching the treetops. Despite this, the island's frosty charm possessed its captivating appeal.

Halime, entranced by the winter scene, couldn't help but recognize the enchantment of the snow-covered jungle below.

Sharing in her amazement, Archer soon shook his head. Steering back to the beginning of the jungle, he spotted a small strip of land bordering the jungle and the sea.

Choosing to land there, he descended to the beach and touched down. When he did, his Aura Detector instantly warned him.

A giant mantis-like beast suddenly appeared, charging at them. Archer chuckled and, without hesitation, cast Celestial Beam.

The scorching light struck the creature, searing it in half. Halime, shocked by the display, received a reassuring kiss on the forehead from Archer as he put her down.

Feeling Archer's kiss, the snake girl was taken aback, her brown cheeks flushing darker as she grappled with the unexpected gesture.

He noticed her reaction and smiled. Playfully, he summoned the Tressyms and, after some pampering, asked them to explore the jungle cautiously.

Halime observed as the flying cats, having enjoyed Archer's attention, agreed to the task. When she attempted to stroke one, it playfully dodged her.

"They're playful and curious; they'll warm up to you soon," Archer remarked with a smile.

True to his words, a grey Tressym approached Halime, allowing her to pet it, a moment she thoroughly enjoyed.

After getting pampered, the Tressym flew off and started their search while Archer watched.

That's when the two started their search and entered the forest. As Archer and Halime ventured into the jungle, they quickly discerned a noticeable change in the atmosphere.

Beneath the lush canopy, the air turned hot and muggy, starkly contrasting the snowy exterior.

Archer saw a swamp in the distance, but mostly, all he could see were trees. Archer's Aura Detector began to ping, telling him that beasts were everywhere.

Curiosity flickering in his eyes, Archer shared a glance with Halime. With a shared nod, they continued their exploration.

As they strolled through the jungle, Archer cast Cosmic Shield around the snake girl just as a sizeable gorilla-like monster emerged.

Cloaked in dark green fur, the creature loomed over Archer, fixing its glowing red eyes on Halime.

Muscular and formidable, the beast exhibited scales on the exposed areas where fur gave way.

That's when large boulders flew out of the trees and slammed against the violet shield that protected Halime.

Archer turned in that direction and saw even more of the gorilla beasts. That's when he scanned the biggest one.

[Mirefang]

[Rank: A++]

When he saw the Rank, he got excited and decided to fight the leader. Archer looked at Halime and told her to watch.

He walked away from the snake girl to make sure she didn't go flying. When he was far enough, he summoned his claws.

Archer confronted the Mirefang leader, a colossal creature with razor-sharp teeth that snarled menacingly.

The air crackled with tension as the two formidable beings faced off. It lunged at Archer, its massive form propelling towards him with frightening speed.

Using his dragon instincts, Archer dodged the ferocious attacks. With wings and quick movements, he managed to evade the brunt of the onslaught.

As the Mirefang recoiled from a missed strike, Archer seized the opportunity. With a swift motion, he unleashed a barrage of attacks using his claws, tail, and wings.

Each strike was calculated and precise, aiming at vulnerable spots on the Mirefang's scaled body.

The jungle echoed with the clash of the two, the Mirefang leader's roars reverberating.

Archer, displaying a combination of finesse and strength, engaged in a primal dance with the creature.

The fight unfolded with a symphony of movements as Archer skillfully avoided the Mirefang's attacks while delivering calculated counterblows.

Despite the Mirefang's sheer size and strength, Archer's dragon agility and combat prowess proved formidable.

The battle raged, a fierce contest between the Mirefang and Archer, who was smiling as he fought.

The Mirefang leader, with its menacing snarls and razor-sharp teeth, lunged once more at Archer, seeking to assert its dominance.

However, he skillfully dodged the assault. Seizing the opportune moment, he Blinked behind the Mirefang leader.

With a mighty sweep of his claws, he targeted the creature's legs, slashing through scales and sinew.

The Mirefang leader, now with useless limbs, roared in pain as it dropped to the jungle ground with a loud crash.

Archer, undeterred and in complete control of the battle, circled the fallen creature. He knelt before the Mirefang's head as the struggling creature writhed.

He addressed the injured Mirefang, "Join my Monster Army, and you shall thrive. Refuse, and I will end you and your entire tribe."

Despite the rage that lingered in the beast's eyes, it understood Archer's words. With a reluctant acknowledgment, it nodded in agreement.

Observing the number of Mirefangs that emerged in response to the healing gesture, Archer couldn't help but smile.

The radiant light of Aurora Healing had enveloped the once-struggling Mirefang, mending its injuries and restoring it to full strength.

That's when the jungle echoed with the growls and roars of the creatures as they gathered, their numbers growing beyond counting.

Archer, pleased with the turnout, stood among the throng of healed Mirefangs, their loyalty now firmly pledged to him, who had defeated their leader and healed him.

The leader stood up and gave Archer a bow. That's when he turned to a socked Halime, who he called over.

Observing the gathering of Mirefangs, Halime cautiously approached Archer, a hint of worry in her yellow eyes.

To her surprise, the Mirefangs, despite their fearsome appearance, allowed her to pass unimpeded.

Standing beside Archer, Halime couldn't help but gaze at him with awe and curiosity. Finally, she mustered the courage to ask, "How did you do that?"

Archer's grin radiated the confidence of a dragon as he opened a portal to the Beasthaven. "I defeated their leader and then healed him to demonstrate my abilities. It's in their best interest to align with me."

Turning his attention to the healed Mirefang leader, Archer inquired, "Are there any stronger beasts in this jungle?"

The beast nodded before pointing further into the jungle. With a nod, Archer motioned towards the portal before stepping through, followed by Halime and the excited Mirefangs.

As the creatures eagerly explored, Archer intervened to set some ground rules. Using Mana Manipulation, he displayed images of the girls and instructed the beasts never to harm them.

The Mirefangs, comprehending the order, eagerly nodded in agreement. He told them to find a home and not fight other beasts apart from the wild ones roaming the Beasthaven.

They rushed off before Archer and Halime walked back through the portal. When they returned to the jungle, the sounds of beasts and other things could be heard.

Halime turned to him and asked. ''What is your plan?''

''We will hunt beasts and try to find treasure.'' He answered with a smile.

When the snake girl heard him, she smiled before nodding her head. The two of them continued into the jungle.

They had under three hours to explore, so they took advantage of it. As they ventured deeper into the jungle, the lush foliage became denser, and the air grew hot and muggy.
