Chapter 1065: This Form Is Just For You
Archer watched the three queens beam as Vivienna jumped up, "Will the other queens become generals? Or just us?"
"Just you three, I'll allow you to help them grow stronger but never at the cost of your
strength,'' he answered the ant woman.
Vivienne nodded in understanding as Valariana spoke up in a curious voice. "What happens if war breaks out? It could happen between our children."
"Let it happen; the battles will make them stronger," Archer revealed with a smile, causing the women to nod.
"Will you check on the colonies?" Aeliana questioned. "Mine isn't massive, but we've burrowed out massive chambers below the mountains to build nests."'
Archer smiled at the spider queen, "Yes. I will check out Vivi's first, then use the tunnel to travel to yours, and then Valariana's," he answered.
This pleased the three queens, but the blonde woman spoke with narrowed eyes, "We're not cannon fodder for you, Master. Our children are strong and can easily fight most human warriors."
"I know, and I don't plan on using anyone as a meat shield," he answered honestly. "If anything, that's what I'd do."
After speaking some more, Aeliana and Valariana returned to their colonies. Once Archer was alone with the ant queen, she commented with a lewd smile, "Now can you imagine a foursome? You ravaging all three of us, Master?"
His eyes narrowed before bonking the horny woman on the head, Vivienne rubbed it, but a sharp slap to her round behind caused her to yelp. Archer chuckled when seeing this, "Next time you say something lewd, I will smack your ass."
"Don't tempt me, master," she replied in a coy voice.
Archer chuckled before replying to the lewd ant, "Take me on a tour; I want to see what you've done to the place."
Then Vivienne clicked her fingers, and an ant appeared with two chairs on it. The older woman motioned to it, "Take a seat so we can start."'
He climbed aboard and got comfortable as she joined him. Archer glanced at the massive ant and decided to scan it.
[Transport Nightmare Ant - Used to carry heavy loads or the queen around the colony] Reading the description, Archer was taken aback but soon smiled at the prospects of such a creature. 'They're evolving,' he thought in surprise.
The Transport Ant led them through the colony's labyrinthine tunnels. The air was thick with the hum of activity, worker ants moving in synchronized routines, carrying resources deeper into the nest.
'A typical ant nest scene on Earth but massive,' he mused with an excited smile at the thought of what these monsters could do.
Vivienne glanced back at him proudly as they entered the first chamber. "Welcome to the heart of the colony, this is our dump off point where the workers bring whatever they forage outside," she said, gesturing to the towering walls of organic material stretching high above them, swarming with ants tending to everything.
Archer's eyes widened as tons of food was being organized; none of the creatures paid them any attention as they passed through. The next place Vivienne showed the nursery was where specialized ants tended eggs and larvae.
The faint glow of bioluminescent fungi cast an eerie, yet strangely beautiful, light over the area. She motioned around them, "This is one of our egg chambers; I believe the worker ants hatch from here after I've laid them."
He looked at her curiously and asked, "You don't lay them in this form, do you?" Vivienne giggled, shaking her head. "Of course not, Master. This form is just for you. My original body is still a massive Nightmare Ant, as you know."
Archer nodded, satisfied with the answer, and they continued the tour through the bustling colony. The Transport Ant continued deeper and passed through more egg and food chambers bustling with activity.
He spotted dozens of unfamiliar creatures, their strange forms bustling through the chamber until a group of towering Nightmare Ant Praetorians appeared and surrounded the queen. Their armored bodies exuded an intimidating presence.
Vivienne giggled, her amused smile lighting up her face as she said, "These guards are strong, but I'll be laying more Praetorian eggs in the coming weeks."
"What about the new ants?" Archer questioned while looking around.
"Those are Bombardier Ants," Vivienne responded, halting the Transport Ant. "They protect the colony from flying monsters, while the flying ants are designed to counter them." She pointed to a group of sleek, agile ants in the distance. "I call them Reaper Ants-one of my new creations after consuming a Stormeagle and several other powerful monsters."
Archer grinned while getting an idea that could benefit the Nightmare Ant Colony, "Let me help out a bit," he said eagerly, his voice brimming with confidence.
Without waiting for Vivienne's response, Archer gathered all the mana he could, channeling it into his hands. A surge of violet energy poured into the ground, spreading rapidly throughout the colony.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Every inch of dirt, every ant, every egg became enveloped in his powerful mana, pulsating with newfound strength. The colony seemed to hum in response, the creatures growing more vibrant and empowered as his energy mixed with their essence.
Archer grinned as he felt the entire colony strengthened, his magic improving everything. Minutes later, he stopped as his body felt the strain. While catching his breath, Vivienne rushed to him before wrapping him in a tight hug.
"Thank you, I can already feel the improvements," she said, kissing his face.
He laughed when he felt this, but a dozen workers rushed past, catching their attention as the woman explained, "They are going to check on the egg chambers. It seems like the next generation will be the strongest by far."
After that, Vivienne said she would tend to the colony but got the Transport Ant to take him to the Cave Spider trance, which caught his attention. While traveling, he used his mana to increase the size of the Domain until it was twice that of Pluoria.
The ground began to tremble as everything expanded, but Archer quickly projected his voice to all the inhabitants to reassure them that everything was fine, "I'm upgrading everything! No need to panic!"
Following that, the Transport Ant continued down one tunnel until reaching a chamber guarded by Nightmare Preatorian Ants. Their antennae twitched, and they stepped aside while a large stone slab rose behind them.
Archer jumped off the ant's back and patted the creature. "Thanks for the ride. Tell the queen
I'll be back later."
He began walking down the tunnel, the path illuminated by glowing mushrooms that carpeted the ground. As he traveled deeper, he noticed thick spider webs stretching across the floor, walls, and ceiling.
'It must be the start of the Cave Spider Colony,' he pondered, his curiosity piquing as he continued down the dimly lit passage.
Soon enough, Archer came to a large chamber with Cave Spiders going about their business. None of them paid him attention, but Aeliana's soft voice reached his ears, "Finally here, Master! I've sent a child to give you a ride."
Seconds later, a massive spider dropped to the ground and lowered itself in submission before Archer jumped on its back as he spoke, "Are you the child the queen has sent?"
The creature nodded while letting out a strangely adorable hiss; when looking at the beast, it reminded him of a tarantula from Earth, but a giant version of it, 'This world give most of the girls nightmare's if they encountered it,' he thought with a snicker.
Once on the spider's back, he scanned it to find out what it was.
[Cave Brute Spider]
[Rank S+]
'Oh, it's strong,' Archer thought with a smile
The Brute moved through the intricate network of the Cave Spider Colony, navigating through tunnels adorned with shimmering silk. He marveled at the chambers filled with gleaming
eggs.
Clusters of spiderlings and spider workers busily repair webs and tend to their young, "This place is incredible!" Archer exclaimed, watching as a few Cave Spiders scurried past. That's when the creature paused in a chamber. The ceiling arched high above, creating a cathedral-like atmosphere. Large silk hung like chandeliers, and he could see the faint outlines of spiders weaving their complex webs.
"Is this where the queens reside?" Archer asked as his curiosity piqued.
The Tarantula shook its head as they continued deeper into the colony. He noticed different
Cave Spiders patrolling the tunnels while others dragged back mantis-like monsters, causing him to ask, "Are you fighting with those things?"
When hearing his question, the brute let out a hiss in acknowledgment as Aeliana spoke again: "Those are creatures we're at war with; they infest a forest to the south."
Archer nodded and reminded himself to check on the desert he created for the Desert Worms.
They passed through several chambers full of spider eggs and food until reaching a small house made from wood covered in a glowing web.
The Brute stopped outside as Aeliana stepped out with a beaming smile, "Master! How do you like the colony? Even though that was a fraction of what's left to see."' [Drop some powerstones, comments, and gifts to help the novel grow; I appreciate all the support you can give]
