It's likely more akin to the slime seeping through skin and bone into marrow and lymfe. Adding its own essence to the body, then slowly convert (not melt) the existing cells into slime while keeping it in the same shape and configuration.

(Think of it as the cells turning back into stemcells and then into goo cells. They aren;t destroyed.)

After the tissue is fully converted the internals start to get their function replaced by the slime core and boom, the internals can be converted to goo too.

All the while the two minds are melded Together. No pain receptors are damaged, no bones are disolved, merely converted.

A painless process that in no way kills the creature.
