Archer and the Dark Termite Queen continued to talk. He quickly found out that she just wanted to raise an army to defend herself against the other monsters of the Domain, which surprised him.
'Maybe I can power them up like the others? But they would need to fight ?' he pondered.
When Archer heard that, he grinned before asking, "Do you and your colony want to beco stronger? And maybe even fight back against the other creatures?"
The grey-haired woman's eyes widened, but she quickly nodded, "Yes, that would be good; I've lost thousands of children to them."
After that, Archer closed his eyes before sending the mana into the ground. It quickly spread across the colony like a fire, and soon enough, it seeped into the Dark Termites, which powered them up.
While that was happening, he turned to the queen and spoke, "All I ask in return is your loyalty and help during the upcoming war."
"'That is expected," she replied with an honest smile. "Now, knowing you're the owner of this Domain, I will give you my loyalty, but that won't stop the wars with the Nightmare Ants, Chull, and Nightmare Cave Spiders."
Archer waved her away as he explained, "That's fine; the other queens love the fight as it strengthens the monsters."
The Dark Termite Queen smiled, "That's good; I will et them when I have ti to secure the colony. The three won invited , but I didn't attend because I thought they would be angry with ."
"I understand, and I will give you a na like the others," he answered while starting to think as the woman smiled. "From now on, your na will be Violeta."
Following that, Archer watched the woman smile as he closed his hand and increased the size of the Domain by five, which sucked all his mana from his body. He instantly felt the exhaustion set in.
Violeta's face tightened with worry as she leaped to his side. "Master! Are you all right?"
He managed a weary smile, waving her concern away. "I just overextended my mana-it's left drained. I'll be fine with a little rest."
Without hesitation, Violeta placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, channeling energy into him. His face softened, a grateful smile breaking through his fatigue. "Thank you, Violeta. I'll be back to normal in just a few minutes."
Once Archer felt better, he stood up and started stretching as he spoke to the Dark Termite Queen, "I will go around the Domain and beat up the other queens until they join the Monster Army that the three generals control for ."
Violeta smiled, looked around with red eyes, and muttered, "My children are stronger. How?"
"I used my mana to power everything in the colony; now you'll know who I am but one warning," Archer gazed at the woman. "Do not attack any humanoids in this place, and take them to the settlent by the Western River. They are my guests."'
After speaking, he quickly changed the Dragon Token so that they appeared in a first settlent guarded by hundreds of Forest Tigers, who would keep the people inside so he could get there.
Afterward, Archer and Violeta exchanged a few more words before he left the Dark Termite colony. He journeyed across the Domain, encountering nurous insect queens, but they didn't have humanoid forms like the others.
Hours passed as he worked to ta the remaining creatures, bolstering his Monster Army's strength. With that complete, Archer returned to Vivienne's chamber, where the red-haired queen looked up in surprise at his sudden arrival.
"Oh, Master, It seems like you've been busy," the beautiful woman comnted. "My scouts said the enemies have backed off and are staying in their territory."
Archer smiled as he explained, "I tad the other insect colonies, and now it will be less chaotic, but I told them you can still fight, which will benefit everyone."
Vivienne bead when hearing this before she started making so tea, which surprised him, but she quickly spoke, "Ever since getting this form, I've wanted to do more human stuff. Thanks to the mories of the food we've eaten, I can do this."
After that, the two of them chatted, and the ant queen asked, "Are you going to continue claiming , Master?"
"Give a few days. I've used too much mana helping the other queens, and it's caused my body to ache," Archer answered.
When Vivienne heard this, she grinned, "Do you want a massage? I ate a woman many years ago who knew how to do them."
Archer's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly chuckled and replied, "Fine by , Vivi."
She led him to her quarters while the other Nightmare Ants did their business. He conjured a soft bed, and as they moved closer, she began to ease his clothes off, leaving him in just his boxers.
Her crimson eyes sparkled with intense, unmistakable desire, and her gaze locked onto him. "'You're the perfect specin of a man, Master. I can't wait for you to claim ."'
Vivienne gestured for him to lie down, and as he settled onto the soft bed, she positioned herself beside him, her hands warm and steady on his shoulders. Slowly, she pressed into his muscles, her fingers moving with a soothing rhythm that lted the tension from his body.
"This ant queen is dangerous,' he thought while closing his eyes.
The older woman worked down his back, kneading away each knot, her touch firm yet gentle. Archer sighed, his breathing slowing as he sank deeper into relaxation. Vivienne leaned in closer, her voice a soft murmur. "Just let go, Master. I've got you."'
Her hands continued along his back, each stroke drawing Archer further into a deep calm. The ant queen's touch was firm and tender, easing every last bit of tension. She moved her fingers in slow circles over his shoulders and then down his spine.
'So good,' he thought as he sank deeper into relaxation, letting the warmth and calm wash over
him.
"Looks like you love it, Master; why don't you see more? I could help you relax even more," she said with a voice dripping with seduction.
Archer sank deeper into the bed. Vivienne watched him with a faint smile as his breathing grew soft and steady, his body finally giving in to exhaustion. Monts later, he was fast asleep, a peaceful expression on his face as she continued comforting touch.
Soon enough, she joined him on the bed he created and crawled into his embrace while falling asleep. The night in the Domain was peaceful as the Monster Army started fighting itself once
again.
Nightmare Ants battled with the Dark Termites while the Chull fought the Cave Spiders in the tunnel below the surface. Archer allowed this to happen so they could improve instead of sitting idly like the other creatures.
The monsters above the ground weren't safe, and thousands were snatched by the nurous hunters who prowled the Domain. Whenever a creature got close to any of the settlents, Stone Giants appeared to crush them into pools of blood.
This kept the insect portion of the army away from them. The following morning, Archer woke up in the heart of the Nightmare Ants Colony, which confused him, 'Did her massage make fall asleep?' he thought.
Archer stood up while shaking his head as Vivienne's voice sounded from behind him, "That was so good sleep, Master. I feel fresh," she said sweetly.
"No wonder you absorbed so much mana that you're going to need so rest soon," he said with a light chuckle.
She turned to him, a tired smile gracing her lips. "You're right. I think I'll take a nap for a few
hours."
Vivienne stepped closer and gently kissed his cheek before sliding into bed with a pleased smile. Archer then teleported to the treehouse, where Ashoka, Maeve, and Nyx slept peacefully in their rooms.
"They look so comfortable,' he thought with a smile, feeling a sense of warmth wash over him. 'Let's brew so tea before I go on another prisoner-collecting mission.'
Afterward, Archer made so tea for himself while casting Cleanse on himself and getting on so fresh clothes. As he did this, his phone pinged. [Thanks for clearing the prisons, darling, but everyone is blaming you]
He chuckled when hearing this before muttering, "Fuck the news, they can't do shit to ."'
Once he finished his sweet tea, Archer set out across the U.S., gathering prisoners along the way. Hours turned into days, and as the numbers grew into the millions, the Shadow Realm filled with panicked humans.
Satisfied with his haul, Archer returned to the necromancer sisters' underground ho, where
he unloaded the prisoners into the cells. The sheer number of captives forced him to expand the prison's size and reinforce the guard's presence.
Just as he made it bigger, Morena appeared, her blue eyes widening in shock at the sight of the crowded cells. "How many people did you bring?" she gasped.
