Adam's hand shot out, dark energy gathering in his palm as he summoned a Shadow Lance aimed directly at the worm's exposed underside where the chitin was thinnest. The spear struck true and the creature convulsed, its shriek rising to a deafening pitch before Lilith's threads yanked tighter, forcing its maw shut and cutting off the sound entirely.
Ignis took full advantage of the opening, leaping higher and diving back down with both fists blazing as she slammed into the same cracked ring again and again until the chitin shattered completely. Thick, black ichor sprayed from the wound, sizzling where it touched the barren ground, but the worm wasn't dead yet. Its tail lashed out blindly, catching Ignis across the ribs and sending her tumbling across the cracked earth.
