A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1301: Carrying The Next Generation

Sera responded with a happy trill before rubbing her tiny head against his cheek, her warm thoughts brushing against his mind. 'Only because I love you with all my heart. You're my boy, after all.'

His heart melted at her words. Smiling, he cupped her delicate form in his hands and pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head. ''I love you too, my little dragon.''

While sitting there Archer sensed a dozen people who were an unknown race of mutated humans with threatening auras heading their direction, causing him to warn. ''I think the Coya powerhouses are coming here. Do you want me to deal with them, or do you?''

Moments later, Sera burst free from his shirt, her body shimmering as she shifted into her human shape. A fierce, radiant smile lit her face, her ruby-red eyes blazing with courage and determination.

''I'll handle it, my love. They should be from the empress,'' she vowed. ''I'm a Wyldheart Dragon, let this foolish empire see the power it cast aside all those years ago.''

When hearing this Archer felt his heart flutter as he loved it when the girls were happy. Moments later, Sera met his gaze, her familiar playful grin giving way to a warm, steadfast smile that reached deep into her eyes.

''Arch, I should hate my father, but I don't because I met you,'' she said, her voice soft yet brimming with gratitude. ''But since you stepped into my life, everything you've done to heal those wounds, it's meant the world to me. Now, let me show you the woman I've become, one I hope you'll stand beside with pride.''

Once Sera finished speaking, Archer stood rooted to the ground, his breath catching as her fierce resolve ignited the surrounding air, which put an excited smile on his face because she was growing stronger.

'Looks like she's become a Demi-God now,' he mused.

Her thankful smile turned into a wild, defiant grin, and in a heartbeat, her human form unraveled. Crimson scales flared to life, her body expanding into the majestic, terrifying shape of a dragon.

Seconds later, Sera's wings snapped open, claws glinting like blood-stained swords, and a tail coiling with lethal grace. ''Time to remind them what they lost!'' she roared, her voice a primal thunderclap that rattled the stones beneath his feet.

Before he could blink, she rocketed into the sky, which took him by surprise, a red streak of fury piercing the heavens. The sheer force of her flight tore the clouds apart, a sonic boom rippling outward as her scarlet form blazed upward.

'Damn, is this all the sex?' he thought with a chuckle. 'Doesn't matter, as long as she's fine.'

Archer's heart surged with awe and pride, his eyes locked on her as she became a living storm, a dragon unbound and unstoppable. Moments later, the Coya Demi-Gods appeared just before she crashed into them.

The enemy group, shocked but attempting to react, scattered when Sera's dragon breath forced them to. Her tail then slammed into a woman, sending her plummeting from the sky and crashing into a mountainside.

He watched as a barrage of deadly spells streaked toward her, a dozen shimmering threats cutting through the air. Undeterred, she pressed forward, her dragon form shimmering as she shifted mid-stride back into her humanoid shape.

With a fierce cry, she drove her fist into one attacker. The impact caused a thunderous boom across the battlefield. As this happened, the other enemies seized the moment, closing in with relentless strikes that overwhelmed the dragon woman.

Despite the odds, she fought valiantly, but there were too many for her. Then, with a thought, Sera materialized in his arms, a faint smile breaking through her battle-worn expression as she met his gaze.

''Thank you for that, handsome,'' she said in a tired voice.

The Coya Demi-Gods charged in their direction, but this caused Archer to smile as he used Mana Manipulation to grab all five and dragged them toward him. When they were close, he noticed it was three women and two men.

But one that looked like the male version of Sera caught his eyes. He looked at the dragon woman, who was staring at the man before she spoke in a knowing voice. ''Hello, big brother Sayri. It's been years.''

He let her down after casting Aurora Healing on her. The Coya Demi-God stared at her with wide eyes as he spoke. ''Is that you, Aylla?''

''I'm Seraphina Wyldheart now,'' she retorted with a big smile while motioning to him. ''This is my husband, Archer. Why are you still fighting for that fool after he banished me?''

Sayri trembled under his gaze as he let his dragon aura slip to the surrounding Coyans who backed off just as Sera's brother revealed. ''Father found out the truth and had that horrible woman arrested along with Duke Huayna Capac. They are in the central prison awaiting your judgment.''

''My judgment?'' she replied in a confused voice. ''What do I have to do with anything? I'm no longer a princess, but a queen.''

When Sayri heard this before his gaze shifted to Archer as his face went pale while muttering. ''You're married to the White Devil from the west?''

The other Demi-Gods tried to flee, but Mana Manipulation stopped them as he finally spoke in a menacing tone. ''If you continue to move, I'll kill you before turning your corpses into soldiers for my endless army.''

Sayri stiffened, causing Sera to continue with a sadistic gleam in her eyes. ''Take me to that old man or we'll burn the Coya Empire to the ground before salting the earth so nothing can grow here.''

''No need for that baby sister!'' the young mutated human exclaimed in a panic.

Sera's smile grew wider when seeing this reaction before asking a random question as the group descended to the group. ''What does the empire produce nowadays? 

Archer chuckled before sending a wave of his mana across the Coya Empire, causing his eyes to widen in shock as he answered. ''Many things, my love. It would be a waste not to control this place.''

When the Coyans heard this, they panicked once again, forcing Sayri to intervene. ''You cannot invade us! We have an arrangement with the Goldenmane, Duskfire, and Darkthrone Empires,'' he rejected the idea in a firm voice.

Without answering, Archer appeared in front of the man and grabbed him by the throat before lifting him into the air while warning. ''I can conquer what I like and Sera just suggested something useful. If you want your family to remain in power, then shut your mouth and take us to your idiotic father.''

He threw the young man into the other Coyans, who started leading them to the capital as he warned them with a growl. ''Keep your words to yourself and the next one to speak will die unless it's something important.''

Following that, Sera grabbed his arm with a big smile as her tail swayed side to side. ''That is Sayri. My third eldest brother was kind to me but stood by as I was banished years ago.''

''Don't worry about anymore,'' Archer replied with a confident expression. ''You've become a beloved queen to the people and one of the loves of my life. So why dwell in the past now you're back here?''

When the young woman heard his words, her smile blossomed, soft and radiant, as he pressed on with passion. ''Imagine how strong we'll be in ten years. We'll rise to the top together, and our children… they'll have the childhood we could only dream of. A life so full of love that they'll never feel the sting of hate, not even for a single day.''

His voice trembled with hope as he continued, a raw edge of conviction breaking through. ''Why do you think I've been fighting since I was thirteen, pouring my soul into building Draconia into the powerhouse it is today? It's for the children, Seraphina.''

Archer turned to her with burning violet eyes that took her breath away. ''For our future. Sia, Hecate, and Leira, they're all pregnant now, carrying the next generation. Everything I've done, every battle I've endured, it's so they can grow up in a world we've made safe and strong, surrounded by love we never knew at their age.''

Seraphina paused on the road, her eyes searching his as she spoke, her voice soft with wonder and hope as her tail swayed. ''What happens if there's a whole bunch of them? Children, I mean, lots of little ones running around?''

Archer's gaze softened, a tender smile tugging at his lips as he stepped closer. ''Then I'll be there for every single one of them,'' he promised, his voice steady with devotion.

With a flick of his hand, he cast Time Warp, the air shimmering faintly around them. ''Don't forget, I can bend time itself. I'll have all the moments in the world to spend with each child, loving them, guiding them, every step of the way.''
