Eric reached the Plow Worm at last and touched the carapace of the rune beast.
His touch doesn't seem obvious at first, especially with how thick the carapace was but there was some effect as he touched it once more and then pressed his hand against it another time.
Each time Eric touched it, Aether flowed out of his body but the results were starting to show itself as the Plow Worm finally noticed the presence of the mercenary and tried to crush him to no avail.
But the deed was already done.
The strong and thick carapace of the Plow Worm was now weakened tremendously and even cracked enough to show the much softer interior of the rune beast.
"Attack it here!" Eric called out to everyone as he dodged back and made his way back to the ranged gift users.
Those who were melee fighters took it as a chance to draw closer, avoiding the attacks of the Plow Worm and went to assault the creature on its now possible opening.
