Re:Ant Lord-Chapter 161: Big Feast

The next corpse was still twitching, muscle spasms from a high tension death. Kai bit through its throat and drank deep.

The taste was unpleasant, burnt fur and desperation but the reward was worth it.

Six total. His eyes flared briefly as the last mouthful went down.

[Unallocated Stat Points: +18]

Next were the Butchers of the savage rabbit clan. Their twisted, cleaver shaped claws had once been soaked in gore. Now, they were just flesh sacks of power waiting to be broken.

Kai didn’t hesitate. He bit into the first Butcher’s ribcage.

[Devoured Savage Rabbit Clan Butcher (4★)

+4 Unallocated Stat Points ]

The second gave a deeper resistance. He had to break the spine with a shoulder slam before accessing the heart. But when he did, the essence burned brighter.

He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. Viscera clung to his fingers, but he didn’t care.

Then he turned toward the real feast.

The Rift Guardian, the six star rank predator that had nearly annihilated everything. It lay cracked in half like a dropped sculpture. Its glowing internal crystal dimmed by death, but still radiating power.

Kai walked to its collapsed body. He climbed onto its back, reached the center of the fused skulls, and jammed his fingers deep into the chest cavity. The pressure was immense but his aura surged to meet it.

[Essence Eater – Activated.]

He didn’t just bite the guardian. He devoured it, piece by piece. Bones first. Then the marrow. Then the blazing heart at its center—sucking down essence like a sun collapsing into his gut.

[Devoured Rift Guardian – Predator Class (6★)

+6 Unallocated Stat Points]

The taste was unlike anything before. It was bitter, celestial, laced with soul fragments and molten emotion. He almost gagged. Almost.

But he swallowed. Because this was his right.

[Total Unallocated Stat Points Gained: +40]

Kai stumbled slightly after swallowing the guardian’s heart but caught himself before anyone could notice. The surge in his limbs, however, was instant. His veins pulsed with surplus energy.

He turned toward the bodies of Brask, Drask, and Sil. The fallen members of Thea’s team.

Once enemies. Now the fuel of his power. He crouched beside Brask first. "You shouldn’t have mocked me," he whispered.

Then he sank his mandibles into the base of the heart and drank.

[Devoured Brask (4★) – +4 Unallocated Stat Points]

Next was Drask.

[Devoured Drask (4★) – +4 Unallocated Stat Points]

Then Sil. Her body had crumpled in a poetic way—folded like a fallen moth, arms tight across her chest. But Kai showed no hesitation. He bites into her chest.

[Devoured Sil (4★) – +4 Unallocated Stat Points]

As the last of her essence flowed into his body, Kai gasped, not in pain, but in awakening.

His body felt like it had doubled in capacity. Like every organ had evolved. Every breath was deeper. Every heartbeat hit harder.

[Unallocated Stat Points: +12]

He stood once more.

[Savage Rabbit Clan Berserkers ×6 (3★)

→ +18 Stat Points

→ +16 Stat Points

Rift Guardian (6★ – Predator Class)

→ +6 Stat Points

His body pulsed, sweat rolling off his skin in faint rivers of steam. But Kai was steady. Composed. A silent king beneath a sky of fire and bone.

From the ridge behind him, Luna saw the feast. Her lips trembled, not from fear, but relief and tension (her husband is getting stronger and she will feel that in bed😝).

"He’s still... here. He didn’t lose himself."

Skyweaver said nothing, but nodded.

Shadeclaw crossed his arms. "He has become what no one could imagine."

Below them, Kai raised his head. His monarch aura shimmered like a tide of molten gold. Even with corpses at his feet and blood on his tongue, he stood not like a beast but a leader. He also collected all the star cores.

A Devourer Monarch. And the world would soon know what that truly meant.

[Status – Kai (Devourer Monarch). Level: 39

New Title: Monarch of the Hollow Peak(non visible) Benefit: Leadership quality improvement.]

Kai exhaled.

But his moment of stillness didn’t last long. From the far ledge, distant figures stirred again. New threats. New decisions.

Kai was happy, if something or someone attacked him then he could cross the last step to reach the four star rank.

He turned once more toward the Dawn Blade team and gave them a nod. "I will clear the rest. You all protect Luna and daughter Miryam."

Vexor blinked. "But what about you—"

Kai’s Monarch Aura surged outward like a tidal wave. They all stiffened. The wind whispered across the scorched battlefield.

The mist of war had faded, and with it, the illusions of power that had once bound the Dawn Blade squad to a kingdom that saw them as expendable tools. Now, only truth remains, raw, unshaped, and glowing in the form of the one who stood before them.

Kai, the Devourer Ant lord Monarch.

He stood at the center of a ring of corpses of the guardians, rabbits, and once the elite warriors of the ant kingdom that mocked him. His aura no longer raged; it pulsed like a slow-moving storm, controlled and commanding.

At his side, Luna clutched Miryam to her chest, whispering loving words to the still glowing wyrmling. Behind her, Shadeclaw and Skyweaver stood tall but silent, their postures half guarded, half reverent.

The battlefield was still. Until Vexor stepped forward. His blade sheathed. His breathing is calm. He wanted to ask Kai a very important question.
