[ An attack is expected; Call of Chaos right off the bat isn't, and for a moment Maruki's heart presses tight against his ribs as if trying to break free–
But nothing happens. The flames lick without burning, all of Akechi's rage apparent in them, and he knows he doesn't have long until Akechi breaks himself instead.

And he did.
Maruki knows he did.
Amidst Azathoth's swaying clawed appendages, he has the audacity to smile. ]
Thinking this makes me weak is your first mistake. My will is stronger than ever.
[ The proof is in the beam of bright violet light that strikes the ground in front of Akechi before Megidolaon engulfs the training ground. Think fast! ]
