They soon traveled to the next colony, and the same thing happened there.
The worker ants were ruthlessly massacred while the larger colony seized control over the ant queen.
Theo wasn't sure if the partial taming process had been done yet or not, but the ant queen only conveyed a few emotions through their bond.
It was going to take time.
And that was exactly what Theo gave it.
Time.
While the colony settled and expanded, Theo continued his training with the sword.
He practised along to fix his posture, then trained with Rhys to control his aura. During those sessions, he focused on solidifying the aura in certain areas of his body while deliberately leaving others uncovered.
Theo felt a lot relieved during these lessons.
Whenever he reached a limit in his sword training, whether it was his technique or aura, there was always someone who could guide him forward.
There was a roadmap, built on a thousand years of accumulated knowledge, and all Theo had to do was follow it.
