With a new impenetrable barrier surrounding it, the Doomsday Worm continued its path of destruction and began attacking in earnest.
Up until now it had been conserving its power as it drained the life from the land, and it was still quite slothful up to this point, since it had not gotten any sizeable meals due to Marcus and Gwyneria's discovery and quick intervention.
However, with some many powerful people attacking it and especially after the magic cast by Jaela, it was finally pressured to use its full power and erect a barrier that none of them could break.
Unfortunately, that was not even the worst of what it was doing, as now its horrid eye had pooped out of its mouth and on top of its head and was emitting constant waves of madness.
And while for Marcus with his still mind unique skill, and many of the other with their high stats were able to resist the effect, three of Darius' elite knights and two of Aria's archmages fell victim.
