Chapter 546 Burn His Way To Them
Kelia looked at the blue-haired girl and thought about the offer but decided to think about it and finally answered. ''Let me think about it, please.''
Each girl nodded before the older woman motioned for them to enter the house, as it would be dark in a couple of hours.
Sera stopped walking and commented in an annoyed voice. ''Why can't we explore the area? I don't want to be sitting inside a house for hours.''
Kelia stopped walking, turned to the dragon girl, and explained her reasoning. ''Someone is clearly out to get me and will sabotage the enchantment. They want to harm you girls due to my past, and I can't allow that to happen.''
When Sera heard this, her stubbornness subsided before approaching the door as her tail swayed behind her.
As she passed by Teuila, she playfully slapped the girl's thigh, causing the ocean princess to snap at her. ''Oi, you little shit, who're you hitting! Come here now.''
Sera darted away while giggling, and Teuila chased after her, causing the other four to laugh at the two's silly antics.
After everyone had entered the house and sat in front of the fire while still laughing at their silliness, they felt a rumble throughout the town.
Kelia and the girls looked around worriedly, but the older woman reassured them as they stopped laughing. ''It happens to everyone once in a while.''
All the girls nodded in agreement with Kelia's explanation. Afterward, the older woman went off to make tea while everyone waited.
The house was nice and clean, considering the circumstances that Kelia found herself in. The fire crackled, and the heat pushed out the cold from outside.
It felt like an earthquake, but Kelia quickly explained. ''That's not far from here. Maybe a few day's journey. It sounds like two large beasts are fighting again.''
Hecate turned to her with a curious look and commented. ''You've felt massive beasts fight before?''
Kelia nodded before informing them about what she knew. ''Yes. It's happened about four times over the last twenty years. But it's never been this close before.''
Nefertiti was the one to talk next. ''Well, I hope my husband doesn't take too long. This is getting annoying now.''
Everyone agreed before Hemera muttered with a smile. ''That will come with a price. It always does with Archer. Trouble seems to find him everywhere that dragon goes.''
All the girls giggled when they heard the sun elf's comments. Kelia looked around the room and studied each one.
Once she did that, she asked everyone a question. ''Does your husband have a thing for brown-skinned girls?''
Nefertiti's eyes glinted with a mischievous sparkle as she considered the question. A sly smile played on her lips before she responded, her tone laced with amusement.
"We think he does, you know," she began, glancing at the others. "Most of us here are of darker shades, a beautiful spectrum of skin tones. But, oh, he does have a few ivory-skinned girls. They're not with us at the moment, though. They're back in the empire, probably attending classes."
Everyone started laughing before something exploded on the opposite side of the town. Kelia and some of the girls rushed over to the window.
Once they looked out the window, everyone saw plumes of smoke far in the distance. After seeing this, everything went quiet.

[Battle Witches & Silver Dragon's POV]
High above the group of girls were the three battle witches carrying out Ophelia's request to find Archer.
Scarlett quickly spoke when they saw the two silver dragons landing in front of them. ''Amaryllis, what do we do?''
The brown-skinned witch turned to the pink-haired girl. ''Don't attack until they do. I don't sense any hostility coming from either of them. So let's wait and see, as some dragons aren't involved in the war.''
Valencia and Scarlett nodded before the silver dragons touched the ground, and two bright lights emanated.
But the pink-haired girl internally thought to herself. 'I got a bad feeling about this!'
The jungle around them was lit up thanks to the lights, which allowed the witches to see everything.
Once the light died down, the three women saw two people standing there. They were a lot older than them.
Amaryllis noticed that the man had silver hair and silver eyes. She looked at the woman next and noticed her red hair and violet-colored eyes.
They had silver scales on the exposed parts of their skin, and the air around them hummed with power.
Valencia felt the power radiating off the two and wondered what Rank they were. She guessed internally. 'I bet their Demi Gods.'
The blonde battle witch knew they couldn't fight these two, and only their grandmother stood a chance against them.
What confused the three was that there wasn't any hostility coming from the two; all they felt was a peaceful place.
With narrowed eyes, the two dragons advanced, causing the trio to step back. Valencia was on edge but didn't act, but sooner was caught off guard.
Scarlett was about to start casting magic, but Amaryllis touched her arm before the dragon woman started talking.
However, the woman asked a question with an unfamiliar accent, "I presume you three are also here for the boy?"
Their expressions, marked by confusion, confirmed her question. With a smile, she introduced them. "I'm Tiamara, and this is my husband, Aslan. We're here because Tiamat, the dragon goddess, tasked us with rescuing the white dragon and his girls. I assume someone from his home enlisted your assistance, ladies?"
Amaryllis nodded and was about to speak, but the dragon known as Aslan stopped them as it looked like he got a message.
His face turned white before turning to his wife and the witches. ''We need to go now! He will die if we don't hurry!''
The witch's hearts stopped when they heard that, and they rushed forward and asked in a concerned voice. ''What can we do? He cannot fall. The witch kingdom needs him!''
Aslan didn't answer as he jumped into the air and transformed into his dragon form. Tiamara pushed them to the side as she spoke. ''We must step back. The boy is under us, and my husband will burn his way to them.''
