Aren barely had time to catch his breath, his eyes already scanning the battlefield.
What had started as a formation was now nothing more than scattered figures fighting for space. Lines carved through the stone in every direction as the Worms tore in and out of the ground, their massive bodies slipping through rock like water.
Marcus stood at the front of one of those, one hand on his wound while another on a knife as another Worm burst upward beneath him. Immediately, his knife drove downward the moment its jaw opened, the blades scraping against its jagged teeth before sinking right in.
The Worm shrieked, its body twisting violently as it slammed back into the ground. However, in the very next second, another Worm emerged from the ground.
"On your left, Marcus!" Aren tried to yell out.
But it was too late. The creature's entire bodyweight slammed into the senior, taking his breath away as he was sent flying.
Shit! That looks bad!
