The battlefield was a cacophony of chaos as Alex, now drenched in the deep red blood and sweat, stood amidst the remains of the Red Demons he had just helped vanquish.
The two awakened fighters, their breaths heavy but spirits lifted, nodded their thanks once more before regrouping with the nearby Federation soldiers.
Alex's eyes scanned the horizon, constantly alert for the next threat.
He could feel the weight of Virtue's Edge in his hand.
It felt lighter than before, but it contained much more power than it previously did before it just lay dormant, waiting to see blood for months.
He pulled up its details to see what had changed now that he had a moment to breathe.
[Virtue's Edge]
[F+ rank (Growth type)]
[A sword like no other. This blade was forged by Mikhail, a grandmaster swordsmith as his final work before he disappeared, never to be seen again. Forged in the heart of a volcano, it is particularly fond of the fire element.]
