There was something terribly familiar about what they were witnessing.
And unfortunately for Ishii and the others, they knew exactly what that familiarity meant.
After all, it hadn't been that long since they'd watched Malachi undergo his first transformation.
They'd witnessed what happened when Noah's aura entered his body, turning someone who had once been human into the monstrosity now standing before them.
Now, it seemed as though he was preparing to undergo that same transformation all over again.
The realization was enough to fill them with dread.
If Malachi had already become this powerful after absorbing Noah's aura once, what kind of monstrosity would emerge if he managed to absorb even more?
Would they even stand a chance against him?
Considering how much they'd struggled against his current form, none of them were particularly optimistic.
They needed to stop him.
Either that, or they had to make the decision to retreat before it was too late.
