'It had to be the life essence.'
While the others questioned Malakai's sanity, he was already planning his next move.
His mind replayed the scene from the last time he used this energy.
Back then, after the Maugrim man had caught up to him, he had slumped against a tree, only for darkness creatures to burst from the forest behind the man.
They had ignored the Maugrim completely. Their crimson eyes and bared claws had been focused solely on Malakai.
The same crimson glow they had now.
There was no doubt about it. He had drawn them in because he had used the power of the life essence.
But while the others saw death in the approaching tide, Malakai saw something else entirely.
He saw opportunity.
Points.
This many darkness creatures… there was no way he would pass up the chance to earn so much.
'My Vita is still depleted.'
Using the life weapon earlier had drained him. He wouldn't last long at this rate.
However, Malakai wasn't worried.
