A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1018: Magic Still Amazes Me



The pizzeria owner accepted the order, and Archer paid, which made the older man happy. He cheerfully said, "Well, young man. Give us half an hour, and your order will be done. In the meantime, I'll get someone to bring some sides to your table."

"'Thank you," Archer replied before he and Nyx approached the others.

While walking across the store, he quickly noticed most eyes were on his women, which annoyed him. The three women saw this, and when he sat down, Ashoka put her hand on his thigh and whispered, "Don't be jealous. We have no interest in men; you're enough for us."

Archer smiled before the group started chatting. While doing that, they noticed the owner had brought the first pizza, cheese, and tomato, which smelt delicious. The man placed it on the table, saying, "We had this one due to a cancellation, young man."

He nodded and reached for a slice, marveling at the cheese stretching delightfully as he pulled it from the pie. His mouth watered in anticipation. Archer took a bite of the hot pizza, savoring every moment of its rich, gooey flavor.

The women joined him, sharing in his enjoyment of the delicious food. After that, more pizzas appeared and were put on the table. When the staff was gone, Archer stored some of them in his Item Box.

When Nyx saw that, she giggled before commenting, "Saving some for later?"

"Yes. I want to build up a collection of different foods," Archer replied while trying a Meat

Feast Pizza.

The group continued to eat and chat while the people around them watched in shock and awe as they ate so much. Archer and Nyx, being dragons, were responsible for the most eaten, which was nothing to them.

After that, Maeve went to the counter and ordered more pizzas and sides, shocking the Pizzeria workers. The women spent a couple of hours inside eating before exploring Central Park, as they were excited to see it.

It took them twenty minutes to reach it, and when stepping inside, Maeve commented in a curious voice, "Husband. Why do people keep looking at us?"

"Greedy beings who lust after anything they find beautiful," Archer answered. "Humans live through their lust. They are like monsters and follow their animalistic instincts. Did you know that nearly eighty percent of marriages end in divorce on this planet?"

When the three women heard this, they were shocked, but Nyx spoke in a confused tone, "Why get married if you're going to break up? I have no interest in being apart from you."' Archer shrugged, "Humans are selfish beings, but enough of that, let's enjoy our getaway."

Following that, they walked around the park, and he let them enjoy the surroundings as they walked alongside a lake and watched people play with their dogs. Archer answered any questions the women had.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Hours passed, and when they were done with the park, Maeve turned to him with a loving smile as she spoke, "Can we see this statue, darling?"

Archer nodded and led them to the ferry terminal. While traveling there, he gave them all some hotdogs Nyx enjoyed, but Maeve disliked the group passed by a noodle place, which caught their attention.

The tiger woman turned to him with her beautiful amber eyes as she spoke, "Can we get something to eat and store it in your Item Box?"

He chuckled but agreed with a nod. The group entered the noodle restaurant to see that it was empty. Archer spotted an older Asian man and approached, speaking in a friendly voice, "Hello. Can I see your menu, please?"

"Here you go," the owner replied while handing it over.

Following this, the three women tell him everything they want, causing Archer to give the old man their order, "Can we have twenty of everything, please? And throw in four dozen canned drinks."

Archer watched the owner's shock turn into happiness as he jumped up and ran into the kitchen so he could start cooking. The woman giggled as Maeve replied, "Why do you always order so much food? Do you end up eating it?"

Before he could reply, Nyx commented in a teasing voice, "Us dragons have an appetite and need to eat loads of food. We're always growing, and if you haven't noticed, the husband has been eating hotdogs non-stop."

They all turned to Archer, who was already eating a spicy one, causing him to chuckle while explaining, "I'm constantly hungry, and as I'm using mana all the time, it's making it worse."

"Do you want to pay now or once you get the food?" the old man's voice sounded from behind them.

Archer turned around and handed over six hundred dollars, causing the owner to quickly speak, "That is way too much, young man."'

"Don't worry about it, just throw in more food," he replied to the old man.

Following this, the group got comfortable as Archer gave them some ale, which they enjoyed while waiting for the food. Ten minutes later, the aroma of the food hit his nose, causing his stomach to rumble.

He slumped into the chair while watching the weather outside get worse as it started raining, causing him to think, 'Hopefully, I get some peace from fighting monsters.'

After thinking that, he cast Mana Manipulation and created a fake army on the table that started fighting. Archer used much of his mana to create a miniature battlefield that he watched with a chuckle.

'Magic still amazes me after all these years,' he thought with a happy smile.

Maeve quickly realized what he was doing and started watching it with fascination as banging started ringing out from the kitchen. Archer chuckled as the old man started shouting while

scolding someone.

'Looks like he taking our order seriously.'

An hour later, the food finally arrived, with dozens of bags across the counter. A tired old man sat nearby, catching his breath from the heavy delivery. Archer glanced at him before gathering the meals for the women.

"Thanks for the food, old man," Archer said with a friendly smile. "If we like it, you'll be

seeing a lot more of us."

They said their goodbyes and left the store, heading toward the river where the Ferry Terminal awaited. As they walked, Archer handed out boxes of noodles. Nyx's eyes lit up with excitement as she grabbed hers.

"This dragon is greedy,' he mused with a chuckle as she started eating.

Ashoka and Maeve smiled, gratefully accepting their portions. The group began eating as they continued their stroll, enjoying the food and each other's company. It took them a while to reach the terminal.

A few hundred tourists were waiting to buy tickets, causing Nyx to grow annoyed, "Why are there so many people here? The internet said it isn't busy."

He started laughing as he revealed, "Well, ladies. Don't believe everything you read there; tourists are like seagulls and travel all over the city, so we must get here earlier in the day." Afterward, Archer and the women waited in line and arrived at the ticket booth. He bought four tickets, which caused the attendant to motion to the ferry's entrance. While walking, Ashoka commented, "It makes sense to charge people to use. My homeland does similar

things."

The group then stepped onto the ferry and started searching for seats. Maeve spotted an area in a corner, which they claimed. While sitting down, Archer handed out more hotdogs as everyone looked out the window.

The sun cast a warm golden hue over the buildings, making everything glow in soft amber light. The iconic shape of the Statue of Liberty slowly came into view on the horizon, standing

tall and proud against the vibrant sky.

Maeve leaned on the railing, her amber eyes scanning the water. "This is beautiful," she said softly, her voice filled with wonder. "The way the light dances on the waves... It's so different from the forests of Pluoria, but I like it."

Nyx was seated beside Archer, a hotdog in one hand and her other resting on his arm as she watched the world outside the window with a satisfied smile. "It's peaceful," she mused. "No

monsters, no danger. Just the sounds of the water and the wind."

Following that, Archer started eating more noodles, which he enjoyed because they were

spicy. Just as his phone pinged, he pulled it out and noticed it was Elizabeth sending him a

selfie.

The brunette woman was wearing workout clothes that stuck to her sweaty body, which caused his lust to react, but Archer controlled himself, 'This woman is naughty; why is she

tempting a dragon,' he mused.

[Are you sure you want to send me pictures like that, Liza? I could come over there and ravage

you before work tomorrow] He replied with a knowing smile.

After sending the text, the ferry rocked from the rough waters, making Nyx giggle as she teased, "What happens if we sink? Think there are monsters under the river?"

Archer looked blankly at her before replying dryly, "Don't jinx us, you silly woman. Now we're

going to have to keep an eye out."
