A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1014:  Who Do You Think You're

Archer watched as Darla put on an apron and started getting out all kinds of ingredients while speaking, ''I'm going to make you some of my famous flaming hot tacos. All my children love them.''

He nodded as she motioned for him to sit and relax, which he did while watching the older woman make lunch for them. As Darla did that, he questioned, ''Do you have any plans for today?''

''Unfortunately, yes. I have to go to my children's college for a meeting with their professors,'' she answered while heating some water. The two of them continued speaking, and Archer mentioned his love for food, which made her green eyes gleam with excitement as she exclaimed while holding a spatula, ''Wait until you eat my meals, darling! You will fall in love with me.''

When Archer heard her words, a smile tugged at his lips as he realized what she had called him. It took the older woman a few moments to notice, but when she did, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she mumbled, "Sorry, I got carried away."

''It's fine, Darla; in fact, I liked it,'' he replied reassuringly.

Afterward, she resumed cooking, a smile gracing her pretty face. Meanwhile, Archer moved to the window, gazing out at the city. The morning sky was clear and bright, with the sun shining down as people bustled about their daily routines below.

'I will make Thrylos this peaceful once I'm back,' he thought with a growing smile. 'When the Alliance see my legions on the move they will know a beast is coming for them.'

''The taco's done handsome,'' Darla's voice rang out from behind.

When Archer turned around, she placed a plate on the side and filled a cup with fresh coffee, and his phone buzzed. He picked it up only to see a message from Elizabeth. [Another attack on the coast of Miami. Can you help? Four million and a surprise if you do]

[You interrupted a date. That surprise better be worth it, woman] Archer replied while turning to Darla.

''The president said they need my help off the coast of Miami, but I'll be back in ten minutes,'' he explained.

Darla nodded in understanding before he Blinked outside and took off, flying toward the incoming monsters. Archer burst across the sky like a shooting star until he reached the Atlantic Ocean, where he spotted a storm in the distance.

'There you are! Now let's show them what the White Dragon can do,' Archer thought excitedly.

Wasting no time, he cast Mana Manipulation to his right hand, surging forward with blinding speed until the Terravian group came into view. With a thunderous roar, Archer closed in on their leader, delivering a punch that obliterated the creature's head in a devastating blow.

The other Terravians were sent flying, but Archer charged after them before brutally slaughtering every creature he caught. They didn't know what was happening until one screamed as it was torn in half, ''It's the White Demon of Thrylos!''

Hearing that, he grinned before swiftly dispatching the rest of the Terravians. His eyes scanned the horizon until he spotted their beast. "A Megalodon... This will be fun," he muttered with excitement.

Archer launched himself toward the massive creature as it swam toward the coast. Soaring above, he charged his fists with mana once more before diving down, crashing into the beast with a devastating punch from above that instantly shattered its monstrous form.

'Well that was easier then I thought,' he mused with a smile.

That's when Archer spotted the ships that came to collect the monster's body, but he sucked it into his Item Box before approaching the deck of the biggest vessel. When getting closer, he spotted armed guards.

He touched down on the metal floor as a man approached and spoke gruffly, ''I'm Commander Jones. Are you the new help the president brought in?''

Archer nodded before speaking, ''Is there a place I can store this monster? It's a big one.''

The man led him to a massive area down a few stairs, allowing him to drop the shark onto the cold metal. When everyone saw this, they were shocked as Commander Jones commented, ''Wow, that is big. We would have lost over half our forces before bringing it down.''

''Well, Liza hired me to deal with the monsters, which is easy to do, to be honest,'' Archer answered. ''But I feel they will get stronger until we find where they're coming from and destroy it.''

Commander Jones nodded in agreement, ''Rumors say they come from the Bermuda Triangle, but whenever we've sent scouts, they've been destroyed.''

Archer grew interested before taking out his phone and informing Elizabeth of the monster's death, only to hear nothing as the money was deposited into his bank account. Following that, he remembered the guard's wife and decided to go heal the woman.

He retrieved the address and opened a Gate to London before flying toward the guard's house. Nestled on a quiet side road, the location struck Archer with its serene isolation, allowing him to appreciate the solitude as he scanned the surroundings.

Cars lined the street, and dark clouds loomed ominously overhead, a reminder of the persistent gloom that seemed to hang in the air. Archer sighed, noting the weather was as dreary as ever.

Moments later, he knocked on the door. After a brief wait, Darrian answered, his face a mask of stunned disbelief, ''You came!'' he exclaimed.

Archer chuckled before giving him a nod, ''Sorry, I've been getting sidetracked since getting here.''

Darrian waved it away while speaking, ''Come this way. Our daughter is with Cassie, keeping her company.''

Following that, he lead Archer through the charming little house until reaching a back room. The man knocked before speaking, ''Love. I got someone here who can help you with the cancer.''

A weak voice echoed back, ''Come in, babe.''

Darrian opened the door and entered, followed by Archer as a younger woman protested with tears in her eyes, ''Dad! There's nothing we can do, and you have to accept that fact instead of spouting some bullshit about voodoo.''

When Archer heard this, he chuckled before commenting, ''I wouldn't doubt my voodoo lady. How about you try it first?''

She glared at him with narrowed blue eyes and snapped, "Do not touch me, creep. Who do you think you are?"

Darrian opened his mouth to scold her, but before he could speak, Archer vanished and reappeared in front of her, his eyes glowing with a violet intensity. With a confident smile, he extended his hand and gently touched her shoulder, casting Aurora Healing.

A violet glow washed over the woman's body as Darrian and his wife were watching on with wide eyes as the man spoke in a worried voice, ''What have you done to her, sir?''

Archer glanced at Darrian before responding, "Put her to bed. Her body is healing, but she needs rest."

Following that, the man nodded as he picked up his daughter. The older woman spoke in a curious voice, ''I'm Marion, young man. Will she be okay?''

''Yes. But enough of this, can I heal you? I left a date to come here,'' Archer replied with an honest smile.

The older woman sighed before explaining, ''Darrian won't give up and has spent enough money on my treatments. I understand why he can't accept my death as we've been together since eleven and haven't spent a day apart.''

He smiled as the older man walked into the room, speaking as he sat down and held his wife's hand, ''Valentina is out cold and sleeping peacefully.''

''I'll give you both more time together and with your children,'' Archer revealed while standing up, placing his hand on Marion's shoulder, and casting Aurora Healing.

The same violet glow washed over the older woman as she let out a scream filled with pain, causing Darrian to panic, but Archer spoke, ''She has cancer, you idiot. It won't be pain-free and will be cleaned from her body.''

Afterward, Archer channeled mana into her body, then placed his hand on the older man, imbuing him with the same healing energy. The spell mended his injuries as Darrian collapsed, rendering him unconscious and forcing him into a deep sleep.

With a chuckle, he stood up, carefully put the man on the bed, and wrote down his contact information, placing the note on the side table. Once that was done, he left the house and opened a Gate to Darla.

Archer reappeared in the kitchen, where the blonde woman was sipping coffee and watching the news. He sat, warming up the taco she had prepared for him. As he began eating, the sight startled her.

She jumped up with a surprised yelp, which only made him laugh. Darla beamed before speaking, ''You're back! What happened out there?''

''Oh, a job for the government, then I had to heal a man's wife who had stage three cancer,'' Archer explained while enjoying the delicious taco.

Darla, pleased to see him enjoying the food, offered him more and a glass of orange juice. Her cheeks flushed red as she nervously asked, "Would you like to accompany me to an award ceremony as my date?"
