Asher ignored Serena's complaints as he approached the corpse of the Million Spike Worm. The body was still twitching, releasing faint hisses of toxic steam from the punctured wounds.
With a flick of his wrist, Asher coated his hand in blood energy and reached into the worm's head.
A moment later, he pulled out a black, crystalized core—pulsing with eerie venomous energy.
