A ribbon of Evangeline's Spiritual Power lifted Buck from the crowd.
With a tap of her finger, Spiritual Energy burrowed into Buck's body. In an instant, her Divine Sense pierced into his brain like a blade.
Inside Buck's skull, a blood-red Sandwurm was writhing menacingly.
The creature had no eyes or nose, only a mouth containing a sharp, straw-like proboscis. The proboscis was plunged deep into Buck's brain tissue. As it sucked greedily, the appendage pulsed, emitting a gruesome GURGLE.
And with every suck from the Sandwurm, Buck's brain matter and Life Force were gradually drained away.
Evangeline's gaze sharpened. Without another moment of hesitation, she focused the Spiritual Power at her fingertips, weaving it into a fine net that wrapped around the Sandwurm in his brain, layer by layer. She controlled the spirit silk, carefully avoiding the more fragile areas.
"Ngh..." Buck suddenly began to convulse violently, a pained, muffled sound catching in his throat.
