The moment his blade slashed at the worm's body was the moment it started a ripple that went long for a few feet.
Theo could see his blade could still not tear the skin even with so much force by himself and the gravity.
His teeth gritted and he placed as much strength as he had in his arms and hands.
Soon, his body stopped falling for a moment. Everyone could tell Theo was applying so much force that his body could be kept in the same upward position easily.
Blood started to pour along the skin where the blade was slashing at and soon enough, Theo had used too much strength, that his wrist felt like it was going to pop out of the socket soon enough.
He knew the limitations of his own body and it made him stop applying so much force.
The moment he did that, Theo could feel the pain creeping inside his wrist. When all that force that he was applying was gone, it felt like he had torn some muscles around the wrist.
