With such an attack loomed over him at such a close range, it seemed impossible for Alec to escape unscathed.

But something changed within him, as if he entered some type of battle state where his body acted on instinct.

Without hesitation, he shifted into a battle stance, unleashing his full aura, and caught sight of the end of his sanguine cloak wrapping around his Changdao.

Alec could swear he felt the blade pulsating in his hand, akin to a human heartbeat, after it connected with the cloak .

In that moment, a surge of power unlike anything he had ever felt coursed through him, It wasn't just the augmented strength from the system or the small upgrades in his glowing armor.

There was an unknown energy emanating from the sanguine cloak that connected to his tattoo and wrapped around his Changdao, forming a powerful resonance link between his weapon and armor.

As Alec witnessed the blade glow with a sanguine color, fueled by his intense determination, he wasted no time.
