"This guy..."
High in the air, Vice Admiral Momonga steadied himself with Geppo beneath his feet.
As he watched Melzargard's left arm, which he had just severed, instantly regenerate, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Does his regenerative ability rival third-stage Life Return?"
Still, it was only limb regeneration. It should be manageable—he could find a way to cut off its heads.
