The team of five would have gotten away from the field and from the monster with a worm head, if not for the unfortunate fact that there were a few more similar but slightly smaller heads back in the hole from which it came out of.
“Eeeeee!” when a few more worm heads each with six twitching tentacles came out from the hole and instantly caught the team’s scent. The head facing down at the direction of the team started screeching and opened its mouth, revealing the rings and rings of razor sharp teeth in the worm head’s mouth and possibly the entire long neck.
“Bang!” the worm head launched itself at the team, and it crashed into Tony Barnes’ shield. Tony Barnes was knocked back and almost fell down the slope, the worm head retreated for a short distance, but it continued screeching and positioned itself for another attack.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!” aside from the six or seven heads from the hole, another two holes appeared from explosions on the slope, and more of those worm heads came out from them.
“Attack! We’ll fight our way out!” Josephine Wong immediately yelled: “Tony, be on guard and prepare to slash the heads; Glenda, attack the hole and either collapse it or threaten its body enough to for it to retreat; Dorothea, help Glenda locate the body of this worm and see if you can take a stab at its heart; Professor, help me construct a disorientation field to direct their attention away from us.”
Dorothea Clarkson was quite unhappy with the fact that Josephine Wong was now given orders: “What the hell do you think you’re doing? What makes you think ...”
“Boom!” the bite attack from one of the worm heads that almost tore through Dorothea Clarkson’s defenses cut her complaint and protest short. Josephine Wong immediately tossed out a dark purple energy blade that sliced through the rubbery skin on the worm head’s neck, forcing it to retreat in pain.
“Bang!” Tony Barnes’ shield collided with another worm head, this time he faced off against the head’s attack with a full force shield bash, and his attack left a dark bruise on the worm head, and the impact it brought onto the worm head also crushed quite a lot of its internal parts, which made it scream and spit out a few cracked and broken teeth on the floor.
A loud cracking sound came from somewhere close to the bottom of the basin, another long and winding body broke out from beneath the ground and lunged towards the Omen Dragon. It was a giant serpent with dark spiky scales, and the Omen Dragon had to defend itself with its tail.
The Omen Dragon roared behind them, as he faced off against the giant serpent that coveted his flesh and blood. The serpent opened its mouth and jetted streams of extremely corrosive poison right at the Omen Dragon’s body. The Omen Dragon flew up in the sky and conjured dark energy shields to protect himself from the poison streams, and he retaliated by spitting dark energy shards and back at the serpent. These energy shards were not explosive but extremely sharp and penetrative, the serpent was not fast enough to dodge all of them in time and lost several big chunks of flesh and scales just in a few short moments.
“Dorothea, now!” Glenda Grimes focused her power and concentrated them into three green balls of energy right in front of her. These green balls of energy seemed to be immensely unstable, and were shooting out small green energy arcs into the air while constantly rolling and vibrating.
Dorothea Clarkson had to concede and follow Josephine Wong’s order for now. After chanting a few lines of spells, a kind of transparent silvery energy appeared on her hands, arms, heart and also formed into an energy seal with the shape of an eye right above her head.
“Let thy spells be blessed with my vision.” Dorothea Clarkson whispered, and the energy seal projected three beams of silver light onto the three green balls of energy. Similar but much smaller energy seals appeared right at the centers of the three balls of energy.

“Thanks, Dorothea.” Glenda Grimes closed her eyes, then let her spell loose.
The three green balls of energy turned into three green energy falcons, then shot from the space in front of Glenda Grimes and into three holes on the slope in front of the team.
A transparent but luminescent energy dome appeared above the team and covered them all under it. This was Josephine Wong and Professor Kapur’s disorientation field. Two worm heads tried to target Tony Barnes and attack him from both sides, but they were hit with a confusion effect before they even started, and for a brief moment they were even about to attack each other.
A dark green and dark yellow wasp the size of a commercial plane with two sets of wings on its back and two heads appeared in the sky above the ridge of the mountains, not that far away from the team of five. There were thousands of smaller wasps surrounding the big one, and among them were somewhere around a dozen ones with sharp katana-shaped front claws the size of bears.
Two of the green energy falcons collided with other worm heads inside the tunnel below the holes from which the worm heads came, but there was a final one that was able to reach a spacious cave underground, where a humongous creature the size of a football stadium with seven pale claws with different sizes and lengths and a layer of rock hard shell on its back was residing. There were at least hundreds of holes on the shell, and the worm heads were all like tentacles or disgusting moving hair protruding from the holes on its shell.
Sensing that it was on the verge of being directly attacked, the creature let out a roar, from a mouth that was not visible from the energy falcon’s position. An energy shockwave was released and the green energy falcon was crushed into energy particles in the air.
Glenda Grimes gasped and almost fell to the ground - she was lucky that she cut connections to the energy falcon just in time. If she did not do so she would have suffered a terrible blowback.
“This creature’s body is hidden underground deep. We can’t kill it with this.” Glenda Grimes used magic to increase the volume of her voice: “We must leave!”
“She’s right, we gotta go.” Dorothea Clarkson said.
Under the protection of the disorientation dome, the team of five started moving up the slope. The worm heads were still not letting go of them easily, but their attacks were much less effective.
The Omen Dragon flapped its tail and sent out several waves of dark energy shockwave against the wasps attempting to swarm him.
This moment of distraction presented the giant serpent with a window of opportunity, and it seized it by shooting two poison fangs from its mouth in a form of remote attack.
The Omen Dragon roared in pain, as the two fangs stabbed into its body while he was dealing with the wasps that joined in on the battle.
