Still… despite everything, Malakai had gotten what he needed from that confrontation.
'I found out where she formed her nodes.'
'Two in her legs. One on her left arm.'
Malakai's eyes gleamed.
'I just have to make enough plans.'
He was always going to face her if he wanted to win the Hunt, this only confirmed it. But now, with what he'd learned, he would make the right plans to deal with her.
Soon, Malakai exited the training ground and instantly felt the gaze of Nyx. But just as he was about to start heading back to his manor, a voice broke through his thoughts.
"Ninth Vein!"
Malakai turned and saw Renlo coming out of the training ground.
The boy stopped in front of him, panting with his hands on his knees.
After a few deep breaths, he stood up straight and spoke, "I-I wanted to thank you for today, Ninth Vein!"
Then he bowed deeply. "Thank you!"
Malakai frowned. 'Again.'
That same feeling had returned once more. Just what was happening?
