Consume worm

"Who is there‽"

"What is that? Don't tell me that it is the demon that has patted my shoulder." Tristan tilted his head slowly by slowly to see what had spooked him and there it was, tied around the skinny leg of the demon, Tristan could see a worm which was curiously trying to poke into his shoulder.

"Inspect!" Tristan hollered without thinking.

[ Level 1 beast. The consuming worm - this worm is easy to kill because of how weak they are in combat and their body structure. Their skins could be easily penetrated by any crude weapon. However, the consuming worms survive in groups and upon meeting a host, they would drill into their skin and take shelter in their host bodies and if the host is not strong, the consuming worms can easily devour them wholly within mere moments, also don't forget that these worms are infamous because of their insane birthrate.]

When Tristan finished reading the description, he didn't hesitate for a second and got out his cleaver. In a single motion, he sliced the curious worm into two.

[ Level 1 consuming worm killed. ]

[ Gained 20 experience points. ]

"So these worms can even give me some experience points and enable me to level up, not bad not bad..." Tristan was suddenly interjected by even more worms that tore through the belly of the still demon and focused on him. By killing one of the worms, he had left their sent on him so, they would not leave him be but follow him until they manage to make a dry corpse out of him.

"Is this demon dead? How come its belly is being torn apart but there is no reaction to it. It should be agitated, right?" He was utterly confused but he didn't have the time to wallow in that because the worms were now on him.

"I can't allow them to reach to me." Tristan knew how troublesome these worms were and he didn't dare to slack but he had also forgotten that a powerful demon like the one in front of him had been affected by these worms, then what would they do to him who was weaker, could he manage them. 

Truthfully, Tristan had been blinded by the desire for power and because the worms were easy to kill, he could not afford to pass this chance. He was determined to level up by using these worms.

Tristan's arms didn't stop even a second and he opened his eyes wide to focus on all sides as he hacked the worms to pieces.

For some reasons, the disgusting worms were not giving him gifts even if he had managed to kill many of them.

[ Level 1 consuming worm killed. ]

[ Gained 20 experience points. ]

[ You have level up to level 7. ]

[ 2 stats gained. Assign the stats to any of your characteristic. ]

"Place the stats to agility and endurance!" Tristan ordered expressionlessly. His endurance was now 8 points while agility became 8 points too.

Even if Tristan was finishing many of the worms escaping from the belly of the still demon, this didn't even affect their numbers. They kept coming. They squirmed on top of each other zealously just to reach to him.

"I think I can not keep this up. These worms are giving me very few experience points, leveling will be too slow for me." He decided to escape from the encompassing of the worms at this instant but he found every escape of his was wholly occupied.

"I have to get out of this place and no one is going to stop me." He declared with determination surfacing on his face.

"But I have to get her handbag from her car first." Tristan cut his way through as he run towards the super car but unknown to him, his sudden change of targets created a flaw on his retaliation causing a worm to find its way into his body through the injury on his thigh.

[ A lesser level 1 consuming worm killed. ]

[ Gained 20 experience points. ]

[ You have level up to level 8. ]

[ 2 stats gained. Assign the stats to any of your characteristic. ]

"Place the 2 stats to vitality!" Tristan ordered. Because of the worm that managed to enter into his body, he could feel as if his health was wanning slowly by slowly. He didn't want to know what would happen to him the moment his vitality turned to zero, that was why he placed the two stats to vitality without thinking. Right now, his vitality had jumped from 13 points to 15. Not forgetting that he was now at level 8.
