The stone path beneath their feet undulated violently like a living creature, shattering.
Something was awakening beneath the earth.

Dirt, rubble, and intertwined grass roots scattered in all directions, as a massive, dark cylindrical body burst forth, accompanied by a nauseating stench of decaying soil!
It was an indescribably huge worm.
The part of its body exposed aboveground was a full five to six meters long, with a diameter comparable to a large water tank.
