Evolution begins with an ant colony

King Phenor watched the ongoing battle from the safety of his throne room, his normally calm demeanor giving way to mounting concern. The shadowy assailants, his elite Shadow Guards, were a formidable force, their combined strength nearly rivaling his own. However, their relentless attacks seemed to have no effect on the mysterious figure in the pitch-black armor.

As he observed the futile struggle, Phenor couldn't help but feel a growing unease. "This doesn't make any sense," he mused inwardly, his brow furrowing in consternation. "Those are the Shadow Guards, and yet they don't even seem to leave a scratch on that armor of his. It seems... I will have to step in."

With a heavy sigh, Phenor knew that the situation had escalated beyond what he had anticipated. He had hoped to avoid personal involvement in this conflict, but it seemed that the enigmatic intruder was no ordinary adversary.

As Akun approached the castle, a pair of guards, determined to prevent his entry, stepped forward and sternly shouted, "Halt, where do you think you're going?"

But before they could react, dark silver spikes, like deadly apparitions, emerged from Akun's form, impaling the guards instantaneously. Their lifeless bodies crumpled to the ground, the blackened spikes receding into Akun's pitch-black armor as though they were never there.

Akun's steps were unwavering as he continued toward the castle's ominous gates, his path clear and his resolve unshaken.

Suddenly a strange sensation rippled through Akun's consciousness, and he instinctively knew it was. "Leona," he thought inwardly, his thoughts resonating with concern, "she's in pain. I can feel it, since my evolution into the ant monarch, my connection to the ants has grown greatly. I can feel their emotions, sense the condition of their bodies.

Right now, I can sense that Leona is barely holding on. She doesn't have much time left." Determination fueled his every step as he pressed forward towards the castle, his mind locked on saving his friend.

With a burst of unparalleled speed, Akun dashed into the castle. The guards unfortunate enough to cross his path met a gruesome fate. Spikes, dark as his intent, surged from the very floor beneath him, impaling them in a split second, extinguishing their lives as swiftly as a candle's flame. His entry was marked by a trail of fallen foes, a testament to the unstoppable force that he had become.

Akun had no time for mercy or hesitation; his singular focus was to reach Leona, to free her from whatever torment she endured. The castle, once a bastion of power, now bore witness to his wrath as he advanced relentlessly toward his goal.

In his desperate rush to reach Leona, Akun knew he couldn't waste precious moments searching for the path to the dungeon. Time was running out, and he had to act swiftly. With a profound concentration of his aspect power, he directed his energy towards the castle's floor. In an awe-inspiring display of raw force, he tore open a colossal hole, rending through the very foundations of the castle.

The ground shook as the castle's structure quivered in response to the unimaginable power at play. Dust and debris filled the air as the once-mighty fortress crumbled around him. Akun's relentless determination to rescue Leona drove him to this audacious act of destruction.

With an unsteady roar, the castle seemed to yield to his will as it gave way, creating a chaotic path that led him directly into the heart of the dungeon. Akun descended into the darkness below, his mind filled with thoughts of Leona and the urgency of reaching her side before it was too late.

As Akun descended into the dungeon through the enormous hole he had created with his aspect power, King Phenor struggled to comprehend the events that had just unfolded. The tremors that had shaken his castle had left him bewildered, and the realization that someone formidable was intruding upon his domain left him deeply unsettled.

"What was that?" He muttered to himself, his usually composed demeanor shaken. "Impossible, it couldn't be him, could it?" His heart raced as he quickened his pace, the urgency of the situation overtaking his regal bearing.

He arrived at the grand hall, and his eyes widened in astonishment and dread at the sight before him—a colossal hole torn open in the castle floor. The sheer magnitude of this breach defied explanation by mere brute force alone. It was as if some powerful sorcerer had wielded magic to achieve this unprecedented feat.

(A/N: king phenor has never met Akun before, so he has no idea of what he looks like, to him how this entire senario is paying out: is that they are suddenly bing invaded by a tribe they have never heard of before, just after his children had returned from their mession.)

"I don't understand," King Phenor thought, his mind racing to grasp the situation. "What would a powerful being like him want in our dungeon? And the size of that hole... it's far too large to be a random act of violence. Achieving something like this would only mean he used magic. But why haven't I heard of such a powerful shaman until now?"

Unanswered questions swirled in the king's mind as he gazed at the ominous hole that seemed to hold a mystery more profound than anything he had encountered before.

King Phenor's resolve surged within him as he pondered the enigmatic intrusion. Despite the overwhelming odds and the astonishing display of power before him, he reaffirmed his commitment to the pride and honor of the Kingin tribe.

"What is wrong with me?" He contemplated silently. "I usually don't talk this much. But that's right. It doesn't matter if it was a god that showed up at our doorsteps; we would still fight for our pride and honor."

King Phenor then took a leap of faith, descending into the gaping chasm in the grand hall to confront the mysterious intruder head-on.

Akun's heart raced as he landed beside Leona, his powerful healing abilities immediately tending to her injuries. Desperation laced his voice as he called out her name, urging her to stay conscious.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Leona! Leona! Stay with me," he pleaded.

Leona's voice, soft and weak, replied, "Boss, is that you?"

Relief washed over Akun as he confirmed, "Yes, it's me, Leona."

A faint smile graced Leona's lips before she succumbed once more to unconsciousness. Determined and gentle, Akun carefully cradled her in his arms like a precious gem, vowing to protect her with all his might.

As Phenor landed in the dungeon, his voice resolute, he couldn't help but express his uncertainty. "I honestly don't know what I should refer to you as."

He squared his shoulders, determination etched across his features. "I can only promise you, you will not leave here in one piece."

However, his confidence wavered as the black-armored figure before him turned around, cradling someone fragile in their arms. The flicker of surprise danced in Phenor's eyes as he locked onto the person in the armored figure's grasp.

Akun locked eyes with Phenor and inquired, "Are you the ruler of this tribe?"

Phenor's response was marked by dark energy swirling around his form, his piercing purple eyes gleaming brightly. "I am. But what is it to you?"

A sardonic chuckle escaped Akun's concealed face. "You've made things a lot easier for me." He swiftly shot two spikes from his black armor, but they harmlessly passed through Phenor.

Undeterred, Phenor advanced toward Akun with deliberate steps. "You underestimate me, honestly, did you actually think I would be defeated that easily."

Akun realized his attacks were ineffective and conceded, "As much as I would love to completely annihilate you here and now, I have to take this friend of mine to safety."

Phenor stood his ground, energy crackling around him, and challenged Akun. "And why should I just let you?" He readied himself for an attack. "You are at an obvious disadvantage, one that would increase my chances of victory. With all the power you have displayed thus far, I would be foolish to let such a chance pass me by."

Akun released a sigh of resignation. With his aspect power, he left Leona suspended in the air, creating a dense, semi-transparent barrier around her body. Phenor was visibly taken aback by this unexpected development.

Akun's tone turned even more serious as he confronted Phenor. "Let me ask you this, were you the one who ordered the destruction of the anthill?"

Phenor, his energy still crackling around him, replied, "One of those ants dared to take my family heirloom, so I ordered my daughter to go with a team and retrieve it. If they had destroyed the anthill in the process, it is of little consequence."

Akun's voice became cold as he said, "Then, so shall be the eradication of the Kingins."
