Now that's more like it!
Not even Marcus' rashguard was able to withstand the force of the Carapace's attack; the hand plowed straight through the tightly woven mythril and into the World Eater's torso, Marcus could feel Connor's hand feeling around and clasping at whatever it sought to take hold of. There was nothing that could really keep that from continuing to take place. Marcus' corrosive bodily fluid, if it even fell under that category, immediately began eating away at the Carapace's protective layer. Not just the hand specifically, it went everywhere upon entering the World Eater's body. Gushing from the newfound wound; aggressively eating away at Connor's suit. Marcus' mouth also spewed the bile, projectile vomiting the tar like substance all over his assailant. The Carapace's tendrils also found their target, but they would find that Marcus' rashguard would put up somewhat of a fight before inevitably giving in, more black ichor freely flowed from the tendrils entry points. Likely combating them; hopefully keeping them at bay for the time being.
"My turn!" If Marcus' adrenaline wasn't pumping before... It certainly was now!
The World Eater's tentacles sought Connor's limbs, freely wrapping themselves around any portion of the man's body, establishing quite the grip. They would then begin to tug and pull; aiming to force Connor closer, forcibly shoving the already well embedded gauntlet further into his chest cavity.
Marcus' pupils dilated as the Parasite began rapidly producing mitochondria, mutating his body to an unimaginable standard, that he certainly wasn't used to. A sickening pop echoed from his jaw as it opened far beyond its normal capacity, his teeth elongated and resembled something from a nightmare. Skin ripped and muscle tore.
CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP~
Nothing was safe. Marcus' maw spewed bile and lashed out at Connor's head. Consistently aiming to eat the Carapace and whatever else hid underneath the bone plating.
Would the Worm withstand the Barracuda? Marcus hadn't even been aware of another competitor coming within their vicinity. He was far too distracted with his meal.
