>>5145118>>5145119>>5145122"Melina! Where is this damn Behelit?" You panic as the curse appears to seep through your veins, burning your body with each pulse of your heartbeat like the corroding effects of a venomous poison.
It should be inside him, but where?" She tries to look at Hedwyn's outer shell for any sort of clue, but no dice. Given you're fighting an enemy that regenerates, he could potentially be shifting his body to better avoid losing his source of power.
Your fears are proven correct as when you scrape his bowels, you get a glimpse of the Behelit puckering from one of his eyes and shifting to another spot as he rolls his orbitals. Bastard!
<span class="mu-s">"YOU TRULY ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT, VLAAAAD! ALL I'VE DONE, ALL I'VE SACRIFICED WAS A MEANS FOR YOU TO IMPROVE, YET HERE YOU STAND, FAILING TO DETHRONE A WEAKLING LIKE YOUR FATHER!"</span>
You do not believe his words. A weakling would not find the strength to grow a gigantic arm from his chest area, throw you over his head and palm strike you back into the lake as the bloody swamp splashes it's fluids into a rainfaill.
You only manage to get on your knees before one of the flesh monsters gnaws at your shoulderblade, the others pinning you in place as your nose and mouth get doused in a puddle of your own blood.
Before any of them could take another bite, Merlina comes in for the save as she jumps down the cesspool and slices them off your back. Since she lacks the purified touch to get rid of them, all she really managed to do is buy time as they duplicate themselves while regenerating.
"I am the one you are looking for. Feast on my body, like you planned on doing all those years prior!" She backs away into a corner as she dices the Vlad-faced enemies away. Taking away the seal gave her a temporary buff to her energy, but she can only do so much as a skeletal woman, already stumbling with her steps.
Your fading body gives you enough forces to stand, but with Hedwyn rushing in your direction with two pointy fingernails growing in his center, you connect 2 and 2 together and plan on avoiding his mad dash into an impalement.
But Merlina is still right behind you. Should you dodge him, she will be the one squashed along with the flesh creatures.
<span class="mu-s">VLAAAAAAD!</span>
