Now there was no doubt about where to look; it was an unmistakably perfect monstrous form. The bizarre shape, impossible for any human to imitate, was now devoid of Yustia’s voice.

The evil aura that had controlled her body and mind seemed to have completely engulfed Yustia. Just having that certainty filled him with an indescribable threat.

First and foremost, he had to get away from the monster. It was the moment when the Caliph seized the opportunity.

The sharp blue energy, erecting a blade, swiftly cleaved through the monster’s arm that was gripping Caliph’s neck, passing by.

It was a clean cut. He thought that, at least for now, he could escape from the monster. However, his relief was short-lived, as an unbelievable sight unfolded before his eyes.

Although Yustia’s transformed wrist had been severed by Felix’s attack, the severed pieces that had eerily extended from the cut were now solidly interwoven with the severed hand and arm.

Because of that, instead of escaping, his airway felt even more constricted. He started to think he might die inexplicably if things continued this way.

Caliph struggled to find Felix with his eyes. Not far away, Felix was also seen with a bewildered expression.

Matching gazes with him, Caliph signaled. It meant that Felix should attack again, just like before.

Perhaps due to his ability to read others’ minds, Felix quickly nodded. Then, without any hesitation, he released his energy towards the monster.

The rapidly regenerating monster’s wrist was once again severed. The process he had witnessed a while ago repeated before his eyes.

But this time, before it could fully intertwine, Caliph swung the sword he held with all his strength. At the same time, he leaped into the air with all his might.

After distancing himself considerably, he bent one knee and took a deep breath. Yustia’s hand still dangled loosely around his neck.

Gasping for breath, Caliph forcefully grabbed the ghastly hand hanging on his neck and threw it away.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, the distance was quite substantial, and nothing like the reconnection of Yustia’s neck, seen a while ago, occurred.

However, in place of the lost hand, one of Yustia’s wrists began to rise sharply in a pointed shape.

As Caliph observed this, Felix rapidly launched another attack. Passing by Yustia’s side, each time he brushed past, deep wounds visibly appeared on her body.

Knowing that she was already in a state devoured by the monster, it seemed impossible to endure any longer at that level. However, Yustia’s body, instead of collapsing, did not even twitch.

On the contrary, with tremendous regenerative power, the severed wrist quickly filled the vacant spot, just like when the hand was cut off.
It was a perplexing sight when Caliph’s mouth was halfway open. Felix, who had been attacking fiercely, stopped above Caliph’s head.

“Huh, I thought there might be a mutation in the abilities hidden while he was hiding, given how outstanding he is at learning. But this is beyond imagination.”

“Wasn’t he like that before?”

“I told you. He’s a creature that parasitizes in the human body and moves. If the condition of the host being parasitized becomes a mess, it moves to another host. I thought as long as we control Yustia’s body, there’s no need for someone like that…”

Felix blurred the end of his words and stared through the utterly unrecognizable skeletal structure of Yustia, who could no longer be considered a human. Then he let out a heavy sigh.

“Originally, it was already a malevolent existence, but now it seems to have become an even more intense monster.”

At Felix’s continued words, Caliph’s brow narrowed. A more intense monster. From Felix’s voice, he keenly felt the pressure he was experiencing.

“Do you have any weaknesses you know of? Anyway, you’ve experienced it once.”

Caliph asked urgently. Even in the short conversation, Yustia’s skeletal structure was becoming increasingly bizarre.

Not only the severed wrist, but the previously intact fingers on the opposite side also turned into solid thorn shapes, and the flat stomach was now split in half, resembling the mouth of a monstrous creature.

Before it changed into a more threatening form, if there were any weaknesses, he had to attack with all his might. However, there was no response from Felix.

Caliph, who had been watching Yustia all along, lifted his head. Like Caliph, Felix was also piercingly staring through the creature that had devoured Yustia.

As if he had something to say, Felix pursed his lips, but in the end, he sighed deeply without uttering a word.

“…If I had known that, I wouldn’t have chosen to be sealed with that guy. I would have eradicated it with my power long ago.”

Caliph had no choice but to release a sigh hanging at his throat. No weaknesses either. The situation was too frustrating.

To make matters worse, in the meantime, the aura of evil freely transformed Yustia’s body, creating threatening weapons.
