At the same time, the creature reached me, and the moment it did, I leapt to the side, avoiding being swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm’s body passed before me as I slashed at it with my swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blades struck its armored hide, but instead of cutting through, they rebounded back at me, leaving only a few scratches on its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too tough,\" I muttered as I watched the worm’s head dive back into the sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it disappeared, a sphere of compressed flame reached it and struck its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small explosion rang out, and the flames faded from the beast’s hardened skin, revealing it almost unchanged, except for some black scorch marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lesser beast’s body vanished beneath the sand and became completely invisible... was it retreating? Of course not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sand trembled beneath us as I felt it circling and preparing to strike again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at Izel, who was gathering flames in her hand. \"Try to attack its head... or inside its mouth.\" She nodded without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that its outer hide was too tough for our attacks to affect, so we had to change our method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tracked its movements beneath us, trying to determine where it would emerge next. At the same time, essence flowed through one of my swords, forming a small sphere at its tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then finally, the worm decided who its first prey would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sand beneath my feet shook and began to vanish, revealing a deep pit filled with teeth. At the same time, I pointed my sword and the compressed sphere of essence downward and fired it directly into the worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sphere of essence passed through the teeth and plunged into the lesser beast, but because I had launched it directly from above, I was delayed in moving away, and now I was directly above its jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t panic. Instead, I focused essence into my legs, stepped on the edge of its jaw, and leapt away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, I heard a muffled explosion inside the worm, followed by a high-pitched screech and blood pouring from its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t die... well, that was expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm’s body rose above the sand as it opened its mouth at me again, only for Izel beside me to throw a sphere of flame into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swallow this, you ugly worm!\" She didn’t forget to comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball entered and exploded between its teeth, while the light of the flames spread and cast the worm’s shadow over the sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its screech grew louder, and I was ready to attack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before I could, the worm lunged and plunged its head back into the sand, this time faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body formed an arc as it entered the sand, until the rear portion emerged—but it didn’t dive in with the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, using the momentum generated by the movement, it lashed toward us at insane speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too thick for us to dodge. My mind worked quickly as I raised my swords to defend myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Izel beside me raised her hands in a defensive stance, but I kicked her and sent her a few meters to the side, out of the strike’s range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm’s armored tail collided with my swords, making the bones in my hands tremble and nearly break, while my body was sent flying dozens of meters until I crashed into a sand dune, sinking slightly into it before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the beast didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt it reach beneath the place where I had fallen, and before I could get up, it was already under me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sand beneath me vanished and was replaced by the maw of sharp teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gritted my teeth as I twisted my body midair, and just before I fell inside, I drove my sword into the flesh between its teeth and held on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging inside the beast’s mouth, I could see the true sharpness of its teeth, arranged in a chaotic manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed it didn’t want to give me enough time to examine them, because in the next moment, the teeth began closing in on me from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was closing its mouth to tear me apart and devour me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I quickly realized it, and with my other sword, I positioned it horizontally to prevent the jaw from fully closing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The edge of the blade dug into the beast’s flesh while the hilt pressed against the other side, giving me some space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast’s pained screech rose, but it didn’t stop trying to devour me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it was mad with rage to the point of ignoring the pain just to crush me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t stand idle waiting for my end either. Instead, essence moved through my free hand as I created a sphere of condensed essence, pouring a large portion of my reserve into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the sword holding its jaw from closing began to crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space was tight, and I couldn’t jump out, so without hesitation, I fired the essence inside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sphere of essence passed through its teeth and plunged into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything from the moment it put me in its mouth happened in no more than two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the next instant, an explosion thundered inside the worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave surged toward me along with the beast’s blood and shredded flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one final scream, I felt its body, which had risen high into the air, fall and crash onto the sand. As a result, some of the teeth pierced into my flesh and caused me a few wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the important thing was that I didn’t turn into minced meat here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, I managed to free myself from the teeth and crawled out, smelling the foul stench of burnt entrails rising from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My hand sank into the sand as I pulled myself out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I lay there near its jaw and caught my breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt someone move toward me before strands of red hair filled my vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow... you’re still alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-02T09:38:17.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","2409881085806c025d66aa8b8832f5b266f3c607a4106ba9040a7bea487d9188","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-67","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-66",183,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-cover.jpg"]
