Chapter 515 I've Sent Out The Cats

Archer, sensing the approaching danger, swiftly sprang into action. He unleashed a barrage of Element Bolts, his magic slicing through the forest's darkness.

The deadly dance unfolded as the Wendigos closed in. Their grotesque forms met with the swiftness of Archer's spells.

Each Bolt was made from a different element that burned, shocked, or poisoned the creatures.

The forest echoed with the anguished cries of the Wendigos, their numbers dwindling under Archer's magic.

The Shadowspawn's attempt to bolster their forces proved futile in the face of Archer's prowess as he emerged victorious against the encroaching darkness.

He went around and collected the hearts of the creatures before turning to the girls, who were now grouped up, getting ready to fight.

Archer looked up and spoke with a smile. ''We got enough time to do another quest if you ladies want to?''

All three girls agreed and wanted to deal with the orc menace plaguing the villages along the coast opposite the Shadowleaf Forest.

When Archer heard this, he smiled and told them to wait here as he dismissed the Stone Men before casting Gate.

He stepped through and appeared in the familiar forest before summoning his wings and taking off.

The forest stretched beneath Archer as he soared through the sky, the rhythmic beat of his wings echoing in the stillness.

Below, the dense canopy of forest sprawled like a vast tapestry of emerald, interrupted only by occasional clearings and the glimmer of winding rivers.

The air was crisp, and the distant sounds of wildlife created a serene symphony. Archer finally saw clusters of villages appear on the other side of the forest.

His sharp eyes scanned the landscape, each settlement a humble farming village. The people below went about their daily lives without a care.

Archer stopped flying before he started scanning the land until he identified the largest village.

He angled his descent towards it, spotting the settlement on the Star River's banks. Archer landed with a thud before dismissing his wings.

That's when he saw farmers in the distance tending to cattle who stopped to stare at him, but he ignored them and opened a portal to the domain.

Archer called for his scouts again, and the Tressyms appeared and wanted pets from him, which he happily gave before they flew off to find the orcs.

While they did that, he walked down a path next to the river and found a bench. He sat down and cast Gate.

When the violet portal appeared, the three girls stepped through while looking around at the scenery.

Nala spoke while looking at the river. ''Your spell is so helpful it would take us days to get here, and the far-away quests would be impossible.''

Archer nodded, addressing the girls, "I've sent out the cats. They'll return shortly but join me in waiting."

He gestured towards a bench, and the three sat down, gazing at the serene river. After about ten minutes, the flying cats returned.

They pointed out the location of the orcs, revealing that the beasts were close to the group.

Archer and the girls started to walk through the villages in the direction of Shadowleaf Forest.

The air carried the soothing scent of earth and the gentle rustle of leaves. Villagers went about their daily routines, tending to fields and livestock.

The scene seemed to paint a picture of peace amid the natural beauty of the surroundings.

As they strolled, they witnessed farmers working diligently, guiding cattle across snowy fields. The rhythmic hum of village life surrounded them, creating a comforting atmosphere.

Archer couldn't help but appreciate the simple life of these communities. They were secluded from the rest of the world, with only a few roads connecting them to the outside.

However, the tranquility was abruptly shattered when, in the distance, a group of orcs charged toward a lone house.

The peaceful atmosphere shifted to one of urgency. Archer's eyes narrowed as he saw the chaotic scene unfolding ahead.

He quickened his pace without a word, and the girls followed suit. The orcs, a brutish and menacing horde, seemed intent on causing havoc.

The distant cries of scared farmers reached their ears, causing them to run faster. As they drew closer, the group spotted the orcs circling the house.

Having abandoned their tasks, the farmers gathered in anxious clusters, their faces etched with fear.

Archer turned to the lion girl and spoke with a grin. ''Kill them, my lioness.''

Nala nodded, excitement lighting up her eyes. Without hesitation, she took off with astonishing speed, a blur of motion streaking toward the approaching orcs.

The lion girl closed the distance, and she unsheathed her sword, catching the glint of sunlight.

In a mesmerizing display of skill and speed, Nala engaged the orcs. Her every movement was perfect, proof of her warrior instincts.

The sword sliced through the air, a gleaming arc that left no room for the orcs to counter.

Nala moved among them with fluid grace, a whirlwind of lethal strikes. Her lioness agility made her effortlessly evade their attacks, and her responses were swift and decisive.

The orcs, caught off guard by her sudden attack, could not mount a defense. Each swing of her sword was a testament to her mastery, as the orcs fell individually.

Nala's movements were an elegant, deadly, and harmonious blend of skill and instinct. The air echoed with the clash of steel, punctuated by the roars of defeated orcs.

She stood amidst the fallen foes in moments, her sword gleaming with the orc blood.

The threat to the village had been dealt with, and the onlookers, both villagers and her companions, witnessed her prowess with a mix of awe and gratitude.

With a satisfied nod, Nala sheathed her sword, the adrenaline-fueled intensity in her eyes gradually giving way to a sense of calm.

The village, spared from the orc menace, stood in appreciation of the girl who had defended them with skill and ferocity.

As the aftermath of Nala's swift and decisive confrontation with the initial orc threat settled, a sudden rustling in the surrounding foliage indicated that the danger was far from over.

More orcs emerged from the shadows and brandished their crude weapons. Archer, Teuila, and Nala recognizing the renewed threat, seamlessly shifted into action.

Teuila, her eyes ablaze with determination, drew her sword with a fluid motion. Beside her, Nala, still charged with the energy of her previous battle, unsheathed her blade.

The two warriors moved as one, a synchronized dance of deadly prowess. While they did this, Zarina cast spells into groups of orcs.

With a shared understanding, the three girls engaged the oncoming orcs with a flurry of precise strikes and well-coordinated maneuvers.

Teuila's sword whirred through the air, each swing a testament to her agility and combat finesse. Nala displayed a combination of strength and grace.

Her swordplay was a symphony of calculated slashes and evasive movements as she effortlessly moved through the chaos of battle.

A clash of steel and the roars of the orcs reverberated through the air as Teuila and Nala met the new threat head-on.

The orcs, caught off guard by the ferocity of their attackers, struggled to mount an effective defense.

In a matter of moments, the combined efforts of Teuila and Nala proved victorious. The orcs, thwarted by the skillful swordplay of the two warriors, lay defeated on the ground.

The village, once again, was spared from the immediate danger. Teuila and Nala, their swords still gleaming from the battle, shared a nod of acknowledgment.

Archer watched the three girls with pride in his eyes but noticed the redhead looking tired, so he threw her a mana potion.

Zarina caught it and gave him a small smile, but he soon summoned the Stone Men and ordered them to collect the orcs' hearts and bodies.

The Stone Men rushed off to complete his orders as Nala and Teuile approached him. He saw sweat running down Nala's face.

Teuila smiled at him, but Archer cast Aurora Healing on the two, which made them feel refreshed.

Nala stepped forward and gave him a kiss, followed by Teuila. Not long after that, the Stone Men returned and threw the bodies down.

Archer smiled before storing the orc bodies and hearts in his Item Box before stretching. The girls brushed the dirt off them before Teuila stepped forward.

With a smile, she spoke to the group. ''We need to head back to college. I think classes will start soon.''

Everyone agreed, causing Archer to open a Gate to the college grounds. The four stepped through to hear the bell going off.

When they arrived, Zarina said bye to the three and walked off to her class while Teuila and Nala jumped on him.

The two girls kissed him before Teuila spoke. ''We'll see you after classes, Darling.''

The lion girl nodded her head with a big smile before leaving with the ocean princess, leaving him alone in the college gardens.

Archer remembered that he had Magical Creature Study and made his way there.
