Meanwhile, Alex focused on his task.
He held his hammer in one hand and pointed it toward the east.
Blood flowed out from his body, wrapped around him, and hardened into armor.
The blood also covered the hammer and changed its shape.
At the same time, Vesa formed a complicated rune formation.
She burned the pattern into Alex's crimson armor, changing how it looked.
The pattern was black at first, then slowly turned green. While this happened, two pairs of wings grew from Alex's back.
They spread out and released a rainbow-colored aura that looked graceful, but Alex knew what it really was.
The aura was the contamination from lifeforce.
Alex still had no method to convert lifeforce into pure energy, so he simply expelled all the impurities from his body.
From his knees down, the crimson armor extended into the ground.
It shot out like thick roots, dug deep into the earth, and started absorbing more lifeforce.
In Alex's vision, indicators appeared and began to rise.
