Noah no longer was merged with Arachne. Despite this, he still stood composed, as if the battle had only been a warm-up. If it wasn't for the total destruction of the landscape around him, Mark wouldn't believe that Noah had come out of a battle, a battle confronting a creature that had the strength to destroy them all.
What truly shocked Mark, was that very creature was not only standing obediently at Noah's side, but Noah had somehow made it even stronger.
"Monster…" Mark swallowed.
The Kaiju had almost reverted back to its form before its chest was fully exposed. But now, fine cracks of energy were pathing through every seam and every crack of its black matte scales, and this time, the energy was changed to the same violet hue as Noah's own.
Mark had already accepted the fact that Noah was better than him in almost every way, but seeing Noah do what he couldn't with seemingly no effort was a huge blow that would be hard to recover from.
