Ivan could sense that this creature was wholly subservient to him, and he could strip away its life at any moment, truly deserving of the high-level puppet's heart given by the Five Leaves Spear.
He carefully examined the creature before him, indeed an Ant Beast, with a pair of golden antennae on its head, a body mostly black adorned with pale, earthy yellow stripes circling around it. It also had two pairs of dark, translucent wings on its back.
Overall, it looked lean, giving off an undernourished impression.
Beside him, the Silkworm Queen's vigilance increased, her gaze unfriendly as she watched the flying ant before her.
