Things never developed as expected.
Just as Huang Yu had not chosen to attack Melmidok's heart immediately,
Melmidok, having lost its Origin Caliber, did not immediately inspect the soul body constantly dissolving before it.
With both its body and soul wounded, along with the damage caused by the brutal removal of its Origin Caliber, Melmidok's soul defenses had fallen to their lowest point.
And that gave the constantly disintegrating soul body an opportunity to take advantage of the opening.
Just as Huang Yu was racking his brains over how to deal with Melmidok, the soul body hiding inside Herad's Head slipped into Melmidok's body before it completely melted away.
It then merged with Melmidok through a symbiotic secret art, spreading the damage inflicted by the Fang of Annihilation across Melmidok as well.
"Ah!
!"
Melmidok, wounded once more, let out a shrill scream of agony.
Its flesh began to peel away, exposing its disgusting organs and ghastly bones.
Its soul continued to melt, becoming entangled with another blurry shadow.
"Herad, you're still alive!"
Only after the Fang of Annihilation's effects had completely faded did Melmidok—its flesh and organs hanging from its skeleton like strips of cloth—let out an incredulous, panicked, furious roar.
At the same time, its body began to rapidly regenerate.
The flesh hanging from it grew back into place, and even the blood splattered nearby was completely drawn back into Melmidok without leaving a single drop behind.
After repairing the damage to its body, Melmidok looked sickly from its various injuries.
Moreover, a Fire Demon face had appeared on its chest.
"Useless! Melmidok, you're completely useless!"
The face's eyes bled as it opened its mouth slightly and cursed furiously.
"You bastard, how dare you use me as your shield!
You conceited fool! You're even more stupid than that
