Chapter 87: Worm (2)



Chapter 87: Worm (2)

Claude opened the bottle and poured the liquid mixture into the small hole on the ground, and then he immediately leapt back and sat down on one of the tree branches, waiting for the compound to take effect.

BZZZ!

In just a few seconds, the ground began to shake uncontrollably, causing Claude to become alert and he stared at the small hole with great interest.

BOOM!

Right then, the ground in front of the giant tree was split into many pieces as a huge crevice opened up in the middle, and a worm like creature that was the size of two tigerwolves burst out from the earth, roaring loudly.

"Senior Beldon," Claude muttered to himself as he stared at the monster worm in front of him with awe. "You really shouldn't call this thing a worm..."

GRRRR!

The giant worm let out a loud screeching noise reverberating through the mountainous terrain and left a resounding echo, as it opened its circular mouth, revealing hundreds of spikes that seemed to be its teeth inside of it.

"Does it not have any eyes? I can't seem to locate any on its body..." Claude scanned the giant worm's entire body, but couldn't find anything resembling an eye. 

But just because it doesn't have any eyes doesn't automatically mean that it's blind. Claude knew that making such assumptions so early isn't a good idea. He knew that the beasts in the martial world were extremely different when compared to the animals on earth, and it was best to be careful in these situations where he didn't have enough information.

GRRR!

All of a sudden, the Callarus worm turned its head towards the tree that Claude was standing on, causing him to suddenly feel a slight shiver in his heart.

"Did it figure out my location, or is it simply a coincidence?" Claude furrowed his eyes, but he decided to be cautious and immediately leapt on to another tree just as the worm turned its head.

GAAAARG!

The Callarus worm let out another loud and ear piercing screech as it shot towards the tree that Claude had jumped onto, as crimson coloured flames manifested inside it's giant mouth that blazed like an erupting volcano.

BOOM!

The powerful flames erupted out from its mouth and headed towards Claude, as he immediately retreated, leaping to the side instead, and onto another tree branch, narrowly avoiding the collision.

"So it can detect me. I guess this is going to be harder than I thought..." Claude gritted his teeth and an evil smile appeared on his face as he stared at the giant worm that had completely annihilated the tree that he was standing on just a second ago. He enjoyed a good challenge, and it seemed like this was going to be an enjoyable bout.

GREEEE!

The Callarus worm turned its head once again and let out another screeching sound. It seemed like the giant worm noticed that it had not destroyed its target as it had intended and it rushed forward fearlessly, slithering on the ground as it neared Claude.

"It seems like you think that I'm an easy opponent. That's not a good reputation for me to have..." Claude stretched out his hand as his katana manifested in the air and he cried out as he grabbed it, "It looks like I'm going to have to forcefully change your mind!"

Claude immediately leapt upwards from the tree branch that he was standing on and then swung his katana, that was flashing with a white light, down onto the ground, to the spot where the giant worm was.

SCREEEE!

The giant worm immediately turned its head upwards, somehow noticing that its prey had moved from its previous spot and opened its mouth, as scorching flames erupted out and shot towards Claude.

"Seems like you are still underestimating me," Claude who had an evil grin on his face, spoke in a calm voice, as the blade light from his attack charged through the blazing flames without a problem and fiercely struck down on the giant worm's head, making it screech out in anger and pain. "But you're not going to win against me with just that!"

WHAM!

Amidst a burst of brilliant light that was the result of the collision and the screeching gigantic worm, Claude flew down with lightning speed and stretched out his two hands in the air.

BZZZ!

The katana that was in his hand disappeared and all of a sudden a bright light enveloped Claude as two swords manifested in his hands!

"Invisible sword technique and Beau Paradis sword technique...!" Claude whispered softly and the bright light surrounding him shined even brighter, as he descended down with great speed.

Both his hands were now carrying the swords that were the product of two of his most powerful sword techniques, and he used it to slash down at the giant worm's head.

Right at this moment, the Callarus worm began twitching like crazy and from its skin burst out countless ice particles, completely sealing the giant worm within multiple layers of thick ice before Claude's attacks could reach it.

BOOM!

The two swords collided with the ice covered body of the Callarus worm, resulting in a loud explosion as the ground below the giant worm was completely destroyed by Claude's sword strike, the effect of which created a giant crater on the ground.

The Callarus worm, which was completely covered in ice, was pressed down onto the earth by the attack, revealing cracks on the ice, although that was the extent of the attack.

"Tch! Covering yourself up with ice? Pathetic!" Claude clicked his tongue, annoyed by the actions of the giant worm and he glared at it as he leapt upwards.

"If you think that I'm done with you, then you're wrong!" Claude yelled out as he raised his two hands, and the two swords appeared in his hands once again.

Zoom!

He shot forward, aiming towards the frozen worm as he swung his two swords for a second time, and a bright light radiated all around the area before the two sword strikes burst out from the swords, as they unfurled towards the Callarus worm's body.

Claude knew that although the previous attack didn't exactly break the ice layer that was covering the giant worm, it did produce cracks on it, which meant that the protective layer wasn't exactly indestructible. It just meant that he needed to concentrate and reduce the attack range a bit more, so that the spiritual energy from the strike isn't distributed all over the worm and instead on a small part of its body.

"Concentrate the attack onto a single point...!" Claude closed his eyes and murmured as the two sword strikes shot forward. In an instant, he snapped his finger and yelled out; "Now, combine!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the two sword strikes closed the distance between them and merged together and stretched out both ways, forming a single strand of sword light that was now moving with such great speed that even Claude was having trouble keeping an eye on it.

Zoom!

The strand of sword light whizzed and pierced through the ice layer and into the Callarus worm's body, and right at that moment, the layer of ice that was covering the giant worm suddenly exploded into small particles with a loud boom, and the worm let out a loud ear piercing cry once again as blood and small pieces of flesh splashed out in all directions.

REEEEEEE!

The Callarus worm, now injured, screeched once again before fleeing the area with great speed, turning into a flash of bright light and slithering away.

"Dammit, where do you think you're going? Come back here!" Claude was surprised by the speed at which the worm had fled, considering its gigantic size, before instantly flying behind it as he yelled loudly with anger.

The giant worm slithered through the forest with ease, while Claude used the tee branches to move forward, leaping from one branch to another, as he desperately tried to keep up with the fast moving creature.

"You can't escape me even if you try!!" Without waiting for the giant worm to make a move, Claude utilised the floating footsteps technique and flung himself forward by giving himself a shot boost and he landed on top of the giant worm's body.

"Try and dodge this!" As he finished speaking, Claude clutched the skin of the worm with one hand and swung his other hand down, as a sword appeared in his hands, piercing through the worm's body as if it was nothing.

As a result, the Callarus worm was now impaled and it immediately cried out a cry that reverberated throughout the Gryfino forest, twisting and turning in order to fling Claude from its body, but Claude increased his grip on the worm's skin and held on tightly.

Swish!

Claude began twisting the sword inside its body, causing the worm even more pain before pulling out the sword and stabbing it once again.

BOOM!

Right then, with a loud exploding sound, the worm exploded into thousands of pieces, and Claude was flung back with immense force, completely covered in the flesh and blood of the Callarus worm before he struck his back against a boulder, rendering him unconscious.
