Chapter 1070: Jim The Desert Worm
"I put Noah in an illusion and gave him the impression that he could escape if he found a secret lever, but just wait, there's a surprise coming," Archer answered.
The couple continued watching Noah creep around the garden, which made Demacia giggle when hearing the stupidity of it all. Archer reassured her that it was just for their amusement and to torment his murderer.
"This should scar him for life,' he chuckled.
Shortly after, Noah thought he had found the lever and pulled it, only to see a door creaking open. A chittering noise echoed from the passageway beyond. Demacia looked at Archer; her brow furrowed in confusion.
Archer leaned closer, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "Oh, something's coming that will make him scream like a little girl."
Shortly after, beetles the size of tennis balls flowed out the door like a wave of death. Archer stood back, arms crossed, as Noah's eyes widened in horror. The fake Blood Beetles surged from the shadows, their glossy shells glinting ominously as they swarmed around him.
Noah stumbled backward, panic etched across his face, his breaths coming in quick gasps, "Get them off! Get them off!" he screamed, flailing his arms wildly as the harmless insects crawled over him.
The sound of his high-pitched cries echoed across the garden, a mixture of fear and humiliation. Archer couldn't help but chuckle, reveling in the sight of Noah's frantic struggle as he rolled around.
"This isn't the end," he said, a sadistic smile creeping across his face. "I'll make sure to torment you until the day I grow bored of you, and then I'll pass you on to my daughters with Demacia and Morena so they can continue the legacy of your suffering."
The younger necromancer started laughing uncontrollably, which was music to Archer's ears. Valariana and Morana appeared from the corner and stopped walking when they saw the human covered in horrifying creatures.
The Chull Queen stepped forward and questioned while staring at Noah, "What's going on here?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Archer was just about to speak, but an excited Demacia quickly darted to Morena and revealed to her big sister, "He wants daughters with us! We can raise our children together like we've always wanted."
Morena looked at her little sister and then at Archer, and he quickly noticed the look in her blue eyes that caused him to smile. "One day, my Mommy Necromancer," he teased.
Everyone laughed as the older necromancer retorted, "I'm not a mother yet!"
Archer chuckled and turned back to Noah, who was rolling around and whimpering due to the fake insects. Seconds later, he dismissed the illusion. The murdered went quiet real quick, but Morena stepped forward and kicked him between the legs,
Noah let out a shrill scream before Valariana approached. She let out a chittering noise. Minutely late, three small Chulls appeared, shocking everyone. Archer wondered where these little creatures came from but couldn't figure anything out.
He shrugged, his gaze fixed on the scene before him. The blonde woman gestured toward Noah, her voice soft but firm. "Eat what you can, my little guardians. Grow strong, so we can protect Master together."
Archer leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. Across the room, the tiny Chulls pounced on him, their small bodies clambering all over him, "No, no!"
Noah's scream pierced the air as he flailed, trying to shake them off. The Chulls squeaked excitedly, mistaking his panic for play. Archer chuckled under his breath, watching the chaotic scene unfold.
Valariana nodded in understanding as she said, "It makes sense; if they benefit you, I will keep my children away from this place, Master."
''Thank you, Vala," he replied as a massive crash could be heard in the distance.
The duo looked in its direction and saw a massive creature heading in their direction. Archer's eyes widened as he thought, 'How big has Jim got?'
Shortly after that, the massive Desert Worm stopped, and a deep voice resonated in his mind, 'You've grown, master. It's good to see you.'
"Yes, it's been years, Jim. How's the desert been treating your kind?" Archer replied, his voice casual as he spoke to the creature. The Chull Queen looked thoroughly confused, her black
eyes darting around.
Sensing her nervousness, Archer chuckled before reassuring her. "The creature is speaking in my mind; it's how we communicate," he explained.
Valariana blinked, still uncertain but slowly relaxing. "Oh... right," she said while moving
close to him.
"This woman isn't human or elf. What is she?' Jim's deep, rumbling voice echoed in Archer's mind, his curiosity evident as the Desert Worm's building-sized head emerged slowly from
the sand.
Archer glanced at Valariana, who was still watching Jim with guarded interest, her posture tense. Smiling, he responded, "She's unique-my Chull Queen."
Valariana beamed at the title, her excitement evident as she grabbed Archer's arm. Jim let out
a deep, rumbling laugh, amused by her reaction. Then he turned to the side and began spitting out thousands of shimmering red silk balls, their vibrant color glinting in the
sunlight.
'Oh wow, there is so much here,' he mused with a greedy smile.
This went on for a few more minutes before Jim turned to him, "That's all the Red Silk I've
collected since our last meeting. There's more but I have to summon the others and let them know
you've returned.'
