Hmm...
More theories came into my mind, each closer to the truth than the last.
For example, my fantasy stories related knowledge had info about some entities that even had their consciousness split across multiple vessels - killing one body might just free him to inhabit another, stronger form he'd prepared elsewhere.
There was also info about liches who could change their vessels from one body to another, and even to inanimate objects, entities who could possess new hosts upon death, and ancient spirits who treated physical destruction as merely an inconvenience.
So yeah, killing him here wouldn't probably do anything good for us.
(Master,) I said finally, my suspicion crystallizing into certainty, (let's not kill him, but continue sealing him here. It feels like he's purposely trying to make us kill him.)
Virion's mental voice carried a note of approval. (Hmm... alright, I'll listen to you. Your instincts have served us well so far.)
