Dual Essences

Without waiting for Lin Xue's response, Liang swiftly summoned two imposing runes that materialized above him. The first rune glinted ominously black while the second was hazy and gray.

The black rune vanished and seamlessly merged with Liang's body, enveloping him in an ethereal shroud of darkness. Abyssal Armor spread across his form, transforming his skin into a shimmering void of obsidian. Jet-black spikes extended from his gauntlets and boots, giving him the appearance of a demonic warlord.

Liang's eyes flickered with an unholy glow, their depths shimmering like a starless abyss

The gray rune, Voidforge Rune, transformed into a streak of light and etched itself on his forehead. Instantly, Liang's aura surged, distorting the space around him.

The Abyssal Armament Rune's energy began to merge with his Voidwing Sword, its blade turning an eerie pitch black. With a determined gaze, Liang raised his sword and swung it fiercely in Lin Xue's direction.
