why are they like this

... self preservation, manipulating the host to prevent removal of the parasitic body. Nerves only send signals to the brain to communicate contact and damage to external tissue, so hijacking those signals allows it to move as it pleases and discourage removal. A simple but effective trick of the mind.

[Add pulls the knife away, putting it aside for now. Of course, there's no real damage occurring to the body so he could just continue to remove them like this. As entertaining as it might be to watch Elsword squirm under his care...

He smiles, pulling a red vial from his pouch to hold up to the light.]


Unfortunately for your clever little parasite, it's not the only one capable of manipulating sensory feedback. [painkillers here to save the day AGAIN. he calls down a dynamo, inserting the dose into its syringe.] Let's see how it likes this... kukuku, I wonder if this drug is effective on plants as well? Consider this my act of mercy before I cut you into pieces.

[yes he is talking to the stupid flowers, he chuckles villainously under his breath some more as he injects the painkillers into Elsword's arm... it'll take a few minutes to kick in, so they have some time to kill.]
