Worms were peculiar creatures.
On their own, they were nothing powerful.
Even Rank 3 worms were relatively easy to kill if one stayed out of range and took advantage of their frail bodies and lack of defenses.
They had a bad reputation too, calling someone a worm meant they were insignificant and worthless.
But…
If a worm made its way inside you?
That was an entirely different story.
Some parasitic worm species were so vicious, even their Rank 2 versions could liquify the insides of a Rank 3 body in moments.
During Wild Fang and Unforgiven Shadows' fight, a lightbulb flickered above Liam's head. Specifically, Wild Fang started to grow tired.
…If a worm somehow managed to enter through someone's flesh in the middle of a battle, how would they deal with it?
Well, the answer was simple.
…They wouldn't.
Granted, if the worm hadn't burrowed deep enough, they could probably just dig their hand into the wound and yank it out.
But any deeper?
