152 A New Promise

Unsurprisingly, what Luna wanted to talk about was Mal's behavior in the gate. 

Malachi was a grown man and it wasn't often that she felt the need to advise him on anything, and yet today was one of those days. 

In the confines of the bedroom, she and Bianca discussed with all of them what happened when Malachi underwent his assumed anxiety attack inside the gate.

They detailed it all, from the strange egg-like casing he sealed himself in, to the strange and frightening creature he became when he emerged. 

Even how he'd almost taken a bite out of Enzo and the other guild members after knocking them all out with his pressure alone. 

But that wasn't the most surprising thing about their story.

After becoming the avatar of night, Malachi was strong.

However, he was in no way strong enough to clear a SSS rated gate on his own in under twenty minutes. 

It was insane. 

Nonsensical even.
