With his ability, Malachi did not take long to acquire the crystal heart of the monster's dog.
Unlike David, who had to go in blind and inexperienced, Malachi already had more than one experience with harvesting crystal hearts from monsters. He did not even feel as weird as when he first did it, and that time he was able to adapt well.
Right now, maybe it was because his mind was on something else or because he had truly gotten used to it, Malachi felt normal as he navigated his hand in the warm insides of the monster dog.
When Malachi got the crystal heart, he carefully pulled it out while maintaining a fast speed.
After this was done, Malachi tore the last remaining remnant of his shirt which left his upper body now bare and used it to clean the crystal heart from the blood that coated it and his right arm that was also covered in blood.
He could not bring blood to the car so even if he was pressed, Malachi still made sure to clean himself.
