Archon!

A volleyball-sized dent appeared on the ant queen's forehead after suffering a heavy blow from Heracles.

With the dent as the centre, a large number of cracks quickly spread out, like a glass door or a car windshield that had cracked but not yet shattered. It seemed as if one more hard impact was all it would take for that large area of outer shell to shatter into tiny pieces.

The ant queen raised its head high and staggered back like a frightened horse that was being reined in. The heavy impact on its head had probably sent it into confusion. A thick liquid gushed out of its mouth.
