Since we entered the body of water, I noticed that the movent of the Sea Worm is actually pretty sluggish. It's not as fast as when Leona and I are chasing it on the ground and its speed has been reduced by a lot. I have not witnessed the Sea Worm swim on the sea as most of the ti of its appearance, it is always on the ground before killing it. It was never been killed on the sea. I was expecting its speed to be similar to Anacondas or Sea Snakes when swimming underwater but seeing how this worm swims around is just a big disappointnt. But since I am not going to benefit if it was fast, I am actually happy with how disappointing its speed is. I can even take advantage of it to proceed with the plan to eliminate this particular Sea Worm.
With the slow movent of the Sea Worm underwater, I was able to move on its body slowly. I am just hugging the body of the Sea Worm right now and even though the texture of its skin is pretty disgusting, I can only just endure as I can't fully keep my body away from its body if I don't grasp it like I am hugging a giant tree trunk right now. If the Sea Worm has segntations on its body, I can at least use that to "hold" property on its body. With that said, not only the design of this worm is causing trouble, the sliminess that the skin of this monster is releasing.
To make sure I won't trail off from the body of the Sea Worm, I relied on my grip to fully cling to its body while it is moving underwater. Thanks to the Lung Moss, I don't need to worry about oxygen for an hour and I can focus on moving along as soon as I can. Though the pressure of the water is definitely not that strong, it's not easy moving fast underwater either. But I keep on doing it as fast as I can do it.

I don't know how long was I crawling on its body but I continued to move and if my estimation is correct, I am in the middle of the body of the Sea Worm. I can also feel the water pressure is also getting stronger which ans we are also getting deeper into the water. I have no idea where it was going but if I were to guess, perhaps it's going to its lair. If a Sand Worm has its lair underground, then the Sea Worm also has one. After all, worms like to burrow underground.
A few minutes later, my assumption is correct as we entered so enormous cavern that I suspected to be created by the Sea Worm itself. Not only that but I was surprised since it wasn't subrged underwater despite the fact that we are underwater, the "nest" of the Sea Worm doesn't appear to be subrged underwater. It's kind of a wonder to how these things happened but eh, must be so sort of bullsh*t reason about magic and stuff that I don't understand and will never understand but who cares? Right now, I have to eliminate this guy before the digestive system of this worm begins to work and digest the one I am going to rescue.
The Sea Worm went to the most corner of the cavern and curled up. I was surprised when it curled up but I quickly jumped off from its body before I get crushed on it once it is done curling. Soon enough, the Sea Worm went to slumber, perhaps to digest up what it had eaten just earlier. I waited for a bit for it to fall to full slumber as there is a chance it will wake up. If it enters full slumber, as long as I don't attack it yet, it will not wake up even if you climbed around its body.
Around 30 minutes later, the Sea Worm has entered full slumber mode. That's when I jump out from where I am hiding. After making extra sure that it is no longer going to wake up, I surveyed the area first. I needed to make sure that if I make a ruckus around here, nothing will co attacking as a result of the ruckus. I don't want that to happen.
Thankfully, after making a full survey, the area doesn't have any threats which ans this cavern is only owned by the Sea Worm alone making this a much better situation. That also ans there is no problem now to do what I needed to do. A surefire way that will reduce all of its HP in one go without worrying about destroying the whole body of the Sea Worm.
I pulled out the Versatile Weapon and breath deeply. I needed to prepare my body for this. After a little bit of waiting, I exhaled deeply before raising the Versatile Weapon in the air.
"Activate! [Blood Weapon]!"
As soon as I shouted that, I can feel my whole body seems to be getting drained and my whole body has gotten very weak all of a sudden. However, I persevere as the Versatile Weapon imdiately got covered in deep blood. It didn't take long for my HP to drop to 1% and my whole body is aching. If my current body was the sa body in the past, this pain is nothing but since this is the first ti my character has experienced this, this is a very painful experience and if not for the fact that I have a ntal fortitude enough to hold on to this pain for multiple tis, I might have already passed out.
I took out the XXL bottle of Health Potion and chug down all of its contents, healing a quarter of the HP I lost. I still felt a little bit weaker but I managed to handle it. I looked at the Versatile Weapon and the description was not kidding, this is indeed a weapon covered in moving blood. It seems the Versatile Weapon sucked almost all of my blood as a result. If I didn't drink a potion to restore it, I might die just by tripping myself.
I pointed the Versatile Weapon into the Sea Worm and activated another one of the skills again.
"[Avarice]!"
The Versatile Weapon shook a little bit before a transparent dragon form appeared and enveloped the whole Sea Worm. It didn't wake the Sea Worm which ans that skill wasn't counted as an attack which is good to know even though I am prepared to fight in case it gets counted as an attack.
Once the transparent dragon form finished enveloping the Sea Worm, it returned to the Versatile Weapon and I felt a rush of energy and power all of a sudden. That ans the temporary stats it devoured from the Sea Worm is now part of for a bit. I was tempted to check on how much the increase has but ti is running short and as much as I want to take my ti, I would rather rush and finish it so that my stress levels will not rise further.
Now, ti to test how well this skill does to an enemy like this and see whether the amplified stats work.
"[Devouring Hunger], activate and show what you can do!"
Before I can react, the Versatile Weapon that is currently in sword form suddenly changed form and beca a sword with a mouth in it, If I swing it down, the mouth will open wide and attack, if I swing it upwards, another mouth will appear and just by this, it looks cool as heck especially since it doesn't look like a sword anymore but so sort of high tech weapon that seems to move on its own. Too bad I can only use this 5 tis in a month.
With the preparation complete, ti to finish up the final blow. I imdiately rushed forward to the Sea Worm and swing down the Versatile Weapon.
GWAAARKK!
BRAAAAKKK!
The sound of blood and flesh resounded the mont I brought down the Versatile Weapon to the Sea Worm's slumbering head- or used to be head. Well, the reason I said that is because the mont I brought down the Versatile Weapon to kill it, the head of the Sea Worm that is currently just sleeping has disappeared and the only thing left is the body of the dead Sea Worm as the notification of my successful kill to the Sea Worm appeared.
I already expected it as I had reduced the stats of the Sea Worm a lot and I buffed the heck out of the Versatile Weapon by activating all of the skills that can enhance the Versatile Weapon and the mont I swing it down to the snake, I just realized that the Versatile Weapon just singlehandedly devoured the head of the Sea Worm in one single attack.
