Blessed by Night

Chapter 164  Slayer of Milfs & Monsters

At such a close proximity to Malachi, Celeste had gone from having her heart beat from fear to attraction in a matter of seconds.

She firmly believed that there was no way that this could be good for her health.

Malachi carried her up to the roof where the rest of the girls were waiting.

Nadine was like a huntress, firing spears of coagulated blood from her wrists into the bodies of the fish men who were trying to invade the homes of the citizens.

Anna would have been helping but.. she was more focused on the woman in her boyfriend's arms.

When Malachi landed on the rooftop, he placed Celeste down and allowed her to shakily get to her feet.

"T-Thank you, Malachi…" she stammered. "I wasn't expecting this to be the way that we met again."

"Neither was I, but I'm glad that nothing happened to you."

By now, full blown alarm bells were going off in Annalise's head.

Celeste clearly knew Mal, and what was even worse was that she had all of the attributes that he liked in a woman.

A woman of black or asian heritage? Check.

A milf? SUPER check.

Short hair? Check.

An ass that you could sit a cup on top of? Another infuriating check.

She even had a body that was ripe for cuddling just like Sei's, with a soft and cuddly stomach to caress and enormous breasts to lay your head on top of.

If she had tattoos and didn't shave downstairs she would literally be what you got if you took all his favorite parts of all of his girlfriends and put them together.

Anna was so upset that the dreaded question flew free her lips before she even knew to stop it.

"Did you fuck her?"

Malachi: "Huh?"

Celeste: "W-What?!"

Joanne: "Anna!"

Nadine: "Her too?! Why are you passing out dick to everyone but me?!"

Leviathan: "HISSS!!!"

Another enormous snakelike creature of the deep rose up from the murky waters, intending to swallow up everyone on the rooftop in one bite.

Without breaking eye contact with Anna, Malachi conjured up two enormous balls of fire with both hands, one golden and one black.

He casually tossed them over his shoulders and into the open mouth of the hungry creature, causing it to let out a wail of pain.

The leviathan dove back into the water hoping that it's home would put the flames out, but he was met with no such luck.

Three seconds was all it took for the creature that was over twenty meters long to be burned to ash and sent to rest in agony.

"Love, why would you think that?" Malachi asked without a judgy tone.

Perhaps because of the soft way he spoke to her, Anna lost all her nerve and started to fiddle with the silver rings on her fingers like she was embarrassed.

"I.. don't know. You guys just seemed kinda friendly with each other and stuff, plus she's your type so I thought…you know.."

"This is Melanie's mom. We met at the hospital a few months ago, remember?"

Anna recalled Malachi's story about how he took care of the medical bills for an ex girlfriend out of a sense of obligation.

She also remembered how he told her about meeting the girl's mother, but she had no knowledge of what she looked like.

Had she known, she would have definitely been more jealous at the time of hearing that story.

'I-I'm his type..?' Celeste felt like she needed to sit down within a few seconds or she was going to hurt her head when she inevitably fainted.

"H-Honestly, why do you have to react like this all the time?" Joanne asked exhaustedly. "I still remember when you asked him the same thing about me!"

"I'm still suspicious that you'll try to jump on him one day though, so that's why I like to keep you two as faraway from each other as possible." Anna admitted.

"I can assure you, the last thing I want in my life right now is a man, thank you very much!"

"Yea right now, but what about after that??" Anna asked accusingly.

Joanne had no time to respond before Malachi suddenly pulled his girlfriend away.

Truth be told he liked when she was jealous, so he didn't offer up any comments to chastise her.

Instead he pulled his mask down to give her a short kiss on the cheek and a firm squeeze on the butt.

"You know that what I have now is all that I could ever need. So come help me, and then we can talk about silly shit later."

"O-Okay.."

The two lovers jumped off the roof holding hands as they fell into the invading force of enemies below.

The tattoos on Anna's back glowed for a brief second before a pair of blood red wings left her shoulder blades.

With grace like that of a swan, she flew alongside Malachi and started to obliterate the fish men with her bare fists.

Meanwhile the three women were left atop the roof, each with different areas of focus on their minds.

Nadine was still shooting down the monsters who were pouring out of the gate, meanwhile Celeste's eyes were flickering back and forth between her and Joanne.

The leader of the dark angels was on a communication device, checking the ETA of her disaster relief squad.

Although she pretended to be focused on that, she was admittedly having a hard time with her daughters words.

She still had yet to heal from everything that Alex had done to her, and as a result she couldn't even think about being touched by another man.

But when the day came that she was no longer broken and she was ready to move on with her life, what would she want?

Who would she want?

Ordinarily she would have told herself that she could just focus on work or drinking but… for some reason that didn't seem like it was going to do the trick anymore.

Unconsciously, her eyes flickered to the back of the young man in black armor who was flying in the air; battling against a group of three leviathans.

As quickly as her eyes landed on him, they were redirected back towards her device.

She didn't get to be selfish like that, not after how she'd lived the past twenty years.

-

Malachi twirled his iklwa in his palm until he was holding it like a spear.

Hurling it as hard as he could, his weapon punctured clear through the underside of one of the Leviathans and blew a massive hole in the back of it's neck, killing the creature instantly.

His iklwa did not lose the slightest bit of momentum and carried itself right into the body of the one behind it, stapling the creature to a nearby building.

Holding out his hands, Malachi grabbed onto the creature's very own shadow.

He made a gesture like he was forcing it's mouth open, and kept stretching his arms further and further apart.

The creature began to panic as it's upper and lower jaws were literally ripped apart, and the two halves of it's body were peeled away from each other like a piece of string cheese. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Dark purple blood and guts fell into the murky water and further darkened it's already questionable color, and the creatures two halves quickly fell behind it.

Malachi held out his hand and his weapon came flying back to his palm; allowing him to return it to it's sheath that sat across his back.

With this area now clear, Malachi turned around to look for Anna and surveil her progress.

He found her not far from him, hovering in the air and holding two dead fishmen by their necks.

Her beautiful face had splotches of dark purple blood on it, and the white sleeveless tee she'd been wearing got soaking wet, allowing one to see her black bra underneath.

She dropped the two enemies coldly into the water just as she saw her lover flying towards her rather quickly.

"Oh, I'm done babe! I was just thinking though, what weapon do you think would be good for- mmf?"

Uncaring of the fact that Anna was wet and had blood on her face, Malachi immediately grabbed her by the waist and brought his lips towards hers.

She spent a few seconds struggling to escape his iron-like grasp before eventually relinquishing herself to it and allowing him to do as he pleased.

Although, she couldn't exactly say that she was not also enjoying this treatment.

"HEY!!" Nadine yelled.

"…" Both Malachi and Anna waved their hands to shoo her away as they kept kissing each other.

"Would you two pay attention! That big guy looks mad and I'm not going to deal with him by myself if I'm not getting rewarded!!"

Finally, Anna and Malachi broke their long kiss and after glaring at Nadine for a single second, they could see why she was so anxious.

A large sea serpent had come out of the portal.

But different from the rest of them, this one had three heads on top of it's body and was much bigger than the rest.

Every few seconds, it absorbed more water into it's armor-like cyan scales and grew larger.

Even though it had just shown up, it was already over 40 meters tall.

Anna and Malachi were both looking at the creature in surprise, with one very simple question on their minds.

'That thing… why didn't we feel it show up..?'
