Chapter 571 Hexchat
Vespera got annoyed by how he looked at her and snapped back. ''I came when I sensed unknown magic in my kingdom. Also, some witches patrolling the border spotted you with another woman. Who was she?''
''Ashara Plaguewyrm. She seemed like a lovely woman. Do you know her?'' Archer asked curiously as he looked at the freshly dug tunnel.
After asking his equation, he sensed some creatures heading straight for the entrance and smiled as he cast Meteor Swarm on top of them.
After doing so, Archer grabbed Vespera by her soft waist and launched Cosmic Shield around them. But he cast Blink to get away from the scene as violet flames could be seen high in the sky.
Vespera looked up and watched as the rocks dropped directly on top of the tunnel, sending flames now into the Swarm's underground realm. Violet flames exploded from the entrance, but Archer soon used his magic to seal the tunnel and hurt the fire back toward them.
Once done, he turned to Vespera, who had an expression of amazement on her face. He chuckled before asking her. ''What's wrong?''
Vespera shook her head and answered. ''I didn't know these tunnels were here. I thought our wards would have picked them up, but I guess not.''
With a smile, Archer said, "The Swarm's magic helps them hide; they're good at staying concealed until the right moment."
She nodded with understanding. They moved on to the last two tunnels, which went the same way apart from the last one when a powerful enemy appeared.
It was a ghoul but looked overpowered by creepy magic. But Vespera ended its life instantly with her black flames. When Archer saw the flames, he became interested and asked in a curious voice. ''What's with the black flames? I know it has something to do with your family's name.''
The queen explained with a smile. ''It's our family's trait. The Blackfire family have been rulers over the Arcadia Kingdom since its founding. The first person to discover the flames used it to forge a place for all witches and warlocks. But now that's just a thing of the past as most men have died off thanks to the poison dragon spells.''
Archer noticed that she was sad and wondered what happened but decided not to say anything as the pain on Vespera's face as she remembered the past.
After closing the tunnels, he chose to go back to the empire. He told Vespera his plan: to return to the empire and wait for the Arcane tournament. "I'll go back to Avalon now. I dealt with the Swarm, and there's no more work for me here. Besides, a tournament is coming up, so I want to relax before it begins."
When the witch queen heard that, she shook her head before smiling at him as she responded. ''Okay. Thanks for the help, Archer. I do hope you visit the kingdom in more peaceful times to witness the beauty of Aetheria.''
Archer flashed a grin, his gaze sweeping over Vespera, prompting a disapproving shake of her head.
He responded Without hesitation, "If it means spending more time with you, I'mm willing to come back."
Vespera rolled her eyes before reaching into her robes and handed over a square device, which confused Archer, who took it and examined it. ''What is this? I can feel the mana coming off it.''
The queen smiled as she explained. ''It's the royal family's Hexchat. We can speak when you return to Pluoria.''
She looked around but didn't hear anything but heard a voice from behind her. ''She's in heat. Dragon-kin and most Demi-
humans experience it. She needs to love Archer before she goes wild.''
She turned around to see Nala standing there with a grin. Her lion tail swayed behind in excitement as she spoke. ''Husband is devouring that poor elf. But it seems the woman loves it by the sound of her moans.''
After speaking, Halime came too, and her brown cheeks grew darker, causing the two girls to laugh when they saw it. Nala joined the snake girl on the sofa before pulling out some winter boots and putting them on.
When the other two saw this, they were confused as she was wearing a kaftan with some leather armor, which wouldn't keep her warm.
Nala laughed when she saw their expressions and flexed her muscles. ''These keep me warm, ladies. I know Archer loves my muscles; I see him watching me constantly. Especially my abs.''
She slapped her stomach, and Ella saw an eight-pack sitting there. When they first met, the lioness she remembered called her a muscle mommy, so she must be right.
Ella commented with a smile. ''He called you a muscle, mommy, once.''
The lion girl giggled before agreeing. ''Yes, he does. Look at Teuila and Talila. They are just like me, and he loves them both. I think Archer has a wide range of likes.''
When Halime heard this, she grew curious and asked. ''What like?''
Nala thought for a second after being asked. Not long after, she started speaking. ''Well, Hali, he likes curvy women with massive boobs. Just look at Sia, Hecate, Nefi, and Hemera. They are four very curvy women.''
Her blue eyes turned toward Ella and Halime as she continued. ''Then there are you, Sera, Llyniel, Leira, and Hali, who are more petite than the others. Me, Teuila, and I are muscular. We are warriors and don't exactly act like ladies.''
Ella nodded, but Halime commented. ''I wonder if he likes older women? Maybe mothers and grandmothers?''
Nala and the half-elf started giggling when they heard this, but the three heard a voice behind them. ''I think Archer will. As long as she isn't a harlot and he likes her.''
The three girls turned around to see Sia standing there. She was wearing a blue bedrobe that wrapped around her curvy body.
Ella smiled when she saw the older woman and greeted her. ''Hello, Sia. How was your rest?''
''It was comfortable. The bed our husband made is soft. I sink into the mattress.'' Sia replied with a smile.
