Chapter 613: In the Queen’s Domain
Kaiden stepped forward.
Behind him, five presences aligned without needing instruction. They had done this too many times already. Formation came naturally now, earned through blood, close calls, and immense trust in one another.
To his right, Luna’s storm aura crackled softly, lightning crawling along the edge of a blade that didn’t exist until she willed it into being. To his left, Calypso grinned.
Moonlight flared behind as Aria rolled her shoulders, crescent sigils orbiting her forearms in slow arcs. Bastet made her presence known with a soft purr, while Nyx began twirling her fingers as space magic responded to her call.
The ground ahead split as something massive pushed its way through broken terrain, stone and bone thrown aside as if they were nothing more than loose gravel. Then another. And another. Shapes emerged from the dust.
Huge silhouettes at first, followed by faster, leaner forms slipping through gaps with terrifying speed.
Kaiden narrowed his eyes.
"That’s not a normal horde."
The interface responded instantly, lines of data snapping into place as the Awakened Media Platform eagerly catalogued what it saw.
At the front, towering brutes advanced in a disciplined line, each step heavy enough to crack the dungeon floor.
[Colossid Brutalizer - Level 70]
Their bodies were slabs of layered muscle and natural armor, each one wielding crude but massive weapons grown from bone and mineral. They didn’t roar or charge blindly. They marched, shields raised, spacing perfect.
They looked akin to evolved trolls, monsterized further until they looked truly hideous and brutal.
Flanking them, shadows blurred.
Fast. Too fast.
[Skirmeshade Stalker - Level 68]
These were lean creatures with bladed forearms and elongated skulls that slipped along the sides of the formation, feet barely touching the ground. They moved in coordinated bursts, constantly repositioning, probing for weakness rather than committing too early.
And above...
Kaiden tilted his head as the air darkened.
Wings.
[Skyreaver Harrier - Level 69]
Sleek, manta-like flyers circled overhead, bioluminescent veins pulsing along their wings. They hadn’t dived yet. They waited, banking in wide arcs, clearly tracking signatures below and waiting for the right opportunity.
And, lastly, threading between all of them, like a nervous system made flesh...
[Chorusbound Savant - Level 70]
Tall, robed monstrosities with elongated limbs and glowing throats. Each movement they made sent subtle pulses through the horde. Kaiden felt it immediately... Mana harmonization. Buffs. Signals. Coordination.
They weren’t just monsters.
They were a proper unit.
Kaiden let out a slow breath. "I’ll be damned," he murmured, loud enough for the stream to catch. "Heavy vanguard, mobile flankers, aerial pressure, and battlefield controllers."
His gaze sharpened. "They’re covering each other’s weaknesses."
The horde surged forward as one.
The Colossid Brutalizers slammed their weapons into the ground in unison, sending a shockwave ripping across the battlefield. Skirmeshades exploded outward, splitting left and right, vanishing into debris and shadow. Above, the Skyreavers folded their wings and began their descent, while the Chorusbound raised their arms, mana threads snapping taut between every unit in the formation.
Aria exhaled, excitement bleeding into her voice. "They’re not only intelligent monsters capable of strategy and restraint, but also are made up of monsters that synergize well with one another... We’re dealing with monsters that came from a high-tier dungeon."
"Yes, B-tier at the very least," Nyx agreed.
The chat lagged.
Not because the platform failed, but because too many people began spamming at once.
— MoonlitHeart: Kai... why are you still standing there? That thing is responsible for killing many level 70 awakened!
— SilverPetal: Please tell me this is where you pull back 😭 this horde feels wrong
— AriaBestGirl: Even association scouts died to stuff like this, didn’t they?? Kai please be careful!
— StormWife: Luna looks calm, but I am NOT 😰
— SunBlessed: Bastet hasn’t even moved yet, and I’m scared for the Choco Kitty. Please run!
The worry came first. It always did.
Fangirls weren’t here for bloodlust... They were here for him and the girls, wanting to see them succeed and have fun while at it. To them, triumphing over dangerous battles wasn’t worth the risk.
Kaiden noted happily how more and more chatters appeared to name themselves after one of his lovers, showing that the fangirls were getting over merely fantasizing about him and picking a harem member to root for. Perhaps they did it for the fantasy element, or maybe they just really liked the girls.
Kaiden knew first-hand how varied and fun their personalities were.
— PrincessHalo: Why are you chatting?! MOVE, KAI!
— LunarTears: That’s a coordinated horde, not dungeon trash!!
— SoftStar: This isn’t content anymore, this is suicide. I can’t even look!
Then the other side crawled out of the cracks.
— VoidReaperX: lmao if he dies he dies
— IronWolf88: At least the girls should get out. What a waste of perfect wombs.
— EdgeProtocol: One dude hoarding five S-tier women was never gonna last
— ShadowReaperL: Yeah, balance of the universe type shit.
— GrimTruth: Agree, just hope the babes survive and enter the dating market.
The tone shifted instantly.
— PrincessHalo: Oh shut up, you mouth-breathing losers
— MoonlitHeart: Imagine watching this and still being bitter like that. How sad can your lives be?
— SilverPetal: And they think if tragedy were to strike, one of the five would get with them instead?
— StormWife: As if any girl would ever look twice at you, let alone these five! Delusional weirdos
The boys snapped back.
— VoidReaperX: Cope
— IronWolf88: You’re delusional
— GrimTruth: Keep dreaming, parasocial squad
The girls hit harder.
And just like this, the chat devolved into rapid-fire insults, alliances forming and breaking in seconds, emotes flying like shrapnel. Mods, now paid extremely handsomely, struggled to keep up as the viewer count climbed even faster, drawn by the chaos as much as the battlefield.
But back on the battlefield, Luna glanced at the corner of her vision as another wave of messages screamed past.
She grinned.
"...Heh. How cute. You guys gotta get used to the new us. Stop worrying so much. Also, mods."
— PrincelessPrincess: Yes?
Luna’s grin widened. Her eyes never left the advancing horde, but her voice carried clearly into the stream. It turned cruel and sadistic as she decreed,
"Permaban the haters."
For half a heartbeat, the chat froze.
Then...
— VoidReaperX: What?!
— IronWolf88: Excuse me??
— GrimTruth: That’s abuse of power
— EdgeProtocol: We didn’t break any rules
Luna laughed, releasing a soft, delighted sound.
"Oh," she said pleasantly, tilting her head. "You think this is a democracy?"
"This is my domain. I am the queen, and you’re unwanted nobodies trespassing in my kingdom. I, your dictator, have decided that I’m tired of reading your comments, whether they technically broke any rules or not."
Her smile turned sharp.
"So I’m purging you."
A pause. Perfectly timed.
"Mods. Off with their heads."
— LadyLeia: 🫡
— Kaiden’s Wife: 🫡
— PrincelessPrincess: 🫡
— PrincelessPrincess: I’ll update the rules, too. Anything deemed hateful can be banned permanently, no matter what words were used or if it could be interpreted in multiple ways.
The mass purge began.
Names vanished mid-sentence. Messages cut off halfway through insults. User icons blinked out like candles snuffed by a sudden wind.
— ShadowReaperL: wait what—
— IronWolf88: This is bull—
— VoidReaperX: fucking bitches—
User has been permanently banned.
User has been permanently banned.
User has been permanently banned.
The chat erupted, but this time, in celebration.
— MoonlitHeart: OH MY GOD
— StormWife: Luna, you’re my spirit animal. So badass!
— SilverPetal: Best stream ever
— SunBlessed: The thunder queen has spoken
And with that, Luna’s sadistic grin transformed. It was time.
