Chapter 507 - Brothers and cousins.

"Uh... are you sure this will work?" Eric questioned as his vision was captivated by the large being. "Do we even know what this thing is?"

"It's a large glowing worm with legs, so a demon obviously." The long haired Rashlam cited, his face becoming rounder than usual, expecting the worst.

Becoming sceptical right when it's not appreciated but definitely needed, Eric pointed out the stupidity. "If it's a demon then how will my blood kill it? This thing has no connection whatsoever with our realm."

And hence Huna interrupted, whispering what happened 1,100 years ago. "A Calidum Lutum's blood burned the monster's skin so long ago so the theory is that your blood will destroy it."

Still remaining sceptical, the young man decided to go along with this nonsense but with a safer step. "Okay, but get close to me."

Afterwards shedding more light to his decision, he cited. "If all goes wrong, I can protect you."

"But you're weaker than..." The long haired man tried to express but got his mouth shut by Justak close by.

As they got closer to the young Electus, he greeted the clay bottle on his hand with a spark of fire.

Bursting enough out of his hand just to set the cloth ablaze, nothing heavy enough to break the bottle or torch it out of existence for that matter.

Meaning that he had to scale it down to one of the lowest options just to set the cloth on fire, didn't take much effort really.

Waiting for the cloth to be coated enough with this hot substance, he tossed it against the wall in front of him before the fire could inflict harm.

Eric's golden blood spilled in a good radius of a meter, they could see it sprinkle around and eventually shun most of the fire, giving the monster hunters a deprivation of illumination.

GHIIIIIK!

They heard an ear piercing screech right after and it wasn't thanks to any earthquake due to messing with what they couldn't comprehend.

No, it looks like the creature gave out a shout and once given the opportunity to take another look at where the blood landed, they understood why.

As the lit cloth fell on the ground, over a portion of the clay shards, a chunk of meat followed that same route, landing over the already weak flame.

Another chunk followed after, almost double in size, a couple of kilos heavy to be more exact.

Several chunks fell down after, it felt as if the creature had been immortalized in stone already due to being here so long. The chunks falling down like that of a boulder that was constantly pressured enhanced such thought.

The creature had no blood, or at least not on this body part if that was somehow possible? This creature is expected to be from the demonic realm so one would never know.

There wasn't anything else that signified blood either, nothing. Just dry chunks falling down one after the other and forming a meter tall pile that carried an estimated 150 kilos.

"Well, my blood worked." Eric celebrated, the damage they inflicted on this beast wasn't to be taken lightly.

The chunks continued to fall and reached further than what the blood exploded on, as if a disease that showed no stopping.

Well that was a bit exaggerated, as this attack was limited like everything else.

Eric's bottle of golden blood wasn't enough to devour this entire wormy creature but it was enough to take a 10 meter wide, round chunk off the being.

In other words, it was enough to melt all the way to the other side of the creature, girth-wise.

It split the monster in half but not in a way that would appear like badass and blood letting, but in a chunk by chunk way that gave a tad more disturbing scene.

Afterwards they felt the ground tremble beneath their feet more than one would favour it.

Taking a peek at their right, spotting a big portion of the wall fall off was the inevitable. It would be playing blind if one missed it, or playing dumb.

But the cavern didn't fall down, no it remained still stable. Instead, a piece of this beast fell off!

Around 20 meters long, it's size can't be under estimated as it stretched wider and almost longer than a full grown Kushenisura!

It's tail! And once it met the ground, the weight that it packed forced the group of 4 to leap off their spots for a meter high!

The rest of the creature was still curled in the 40 meter long and tall cavern wall, signifying that its size was far bigger than Eric expected it.

GHAAAAAAAAAT!

They heard the creature thunder again, as a tenth of the ceiling above their heads, fell down thanks to that earthquake from a few breaths earlier.

But this time, the sound it unleashed was heavier by tone and less piercing through the ears although loud enough to be considered as deafening.

The rumble that tagged along with such a shout signified greater threat, it finally managed to knock the group off their feet.

Gazing at the ceiling after getting knocked down, Eric saw a head sized rock falling off it with several younger brothers and thousands of baby cousins.

Meaning, a portion of the ceiling was falling over him and the ground beneath them was still shaking beyond control.

Which ruled out the ability to stand up and run away from danger, well at least Eric was ruled optionless.

A breath after, he could see Huna's face far too close than any child would prefer.

She was standing over Eric, as if doing a push up and acted like a barricade between Eric and the bits of rocks that could have broken his limp ribs.

He could see the lady flinch in pain as the head shaped rock landed on the left side of her waist, but what would she suffer apart from a bruise?

After all, a Calidum Lutum had a far stronger endurance in comparison to any other known race.

The earthquake lasted just a few more seconds but it didn't fail to feel like forever.

Standing up, understanding the severity of the situation, Huna gazed at the other grand masters and shouted. "Seal the wall! The golden blood wasn't enough to kill the monster!"

That light blue illumination that this worm provided earlier, began to glow a bit harder, leaving any pair of eyes here no option but to shut.
