Backyard War (Part 2)

This was no simple palm strike.

A closer look revealed densely packed tapeworm muscles growing between the Wormi's fingers.

These powerful tapeworm muscles, partially controlled by the Origin Flesh Chunk, could easily burrow into a target's body, wreak havoc within it, and assimilate its flesh.

Faced with the choice of "circle to the back of its neck and remove the flesh tumor" or "change course and save his teammate"... Demps leaned toward the latter.

Just then.

A voice came from beneath the crushing palm:

"Demps, hurry!"

The next second.

The Wormi's palm, heavily pressed against the ground, slowly began to rise.

However.

His body was still covered in a layer of black dragon scales that exuded the aura of a ferocious beast, making the muscle tendrils controlled by the Origin Flesh Chunk somewhat fearful.

Moreover.

The dragon scales covering his body were incomparably tough and tightly arranged, enough to
