Eighteen thousand four hundred HP.
Active regeneration.
Effective level 85.
Alex looked at the numbers with the Fragment's coldness and arrived at the same conclusion as always.
They weren't enough.

Grim landed beside him. His crimson wings extended, the ground darkening where they touched. Four meters of partial Primordial Reaper looking down at the vessel with fifty-seven HP.
"One more time."
Alex nodded.
One more time.

There were no instructions for this in any system.
There was no cataloged skill, no prior warning, no calculated cost.

Grim extended his.
Bony fingers wrapped around the human hand.
Alex's black energy and Grim's crimson energy stopped being intertwined.
They became one.
