Rawrrr!
The shawl-draped man let out a guttural roar in pain as the worms had grown many times bigger as compared to before due to the sheer volume of lifeforce they had consumed. They burst out of his skin and began to nibble away on his flesh.
Moreover, unlike before, they developed an exoskeleton that gave them better immunity to his attacks. It was not to mention they possessed two mouths, at each end of their serpentine body. One devoured the flesh on the surface while the other at the deep within.
Even when he yanked them out, ignoring the patch of flesh that had come off as a result, one end of the worm bit onto his fingers or palm, ensuring to latch onto him without letting go.
Without using his lifeforce, he would lose his life in a matter of seconds. But that very same lifeforce acted as the elixir that fuelled the growth of the worms that ate away at his life literally.
Bam!
