Gear Heart surveyed the fight going on at the picnic area. The large golem paid less attention to the assassins being dealt with by Veronica's other protectors and more attention to the trio of death worms making their way towards the pond. Though small and easily squashable, Gear Heart knew they were the biggest threat to Veronica's safety. So the further away they were from Veronica when the squashing started, the better. With that in mind Gear Heart charged forward. Even if the assassins were still in a position to effectively cover the death worms, there would be no stopping Gear Heart now. The worms made their way into the pond and emerged soon after, the water on their bodies glistening in the sunlight. They barely made it a meter out of the water before Gear Heart was upon them. The 1st worm was reduced to a long thin pancake by an iron foot. The 2nd met the same fate beneath Gear Heart's palm soon after. Gear Heart then clasped his hands together and brought them down on the final death worm with a loud crash. The death worms were no more.
