He's familiar with fighting monsters, and at first, he thinks Akechi has called one, somehow. With the way his appearance has changed - cloaked in darkness, like a soul falling into despair and losing its humanity - it seems perfectly reasonable.
In a sense, he's right. But there's also clearly something different going on. When the first few seconds pass and neither the monster nor Akechi attack him, he lowers his gun a few inches, though he remains tensed. ]
