Austin was still standing there, but the shards of metal-like armor on his body had shifted and formed a dome that shielded his head.
Because of this, Alex's kick—though powerful—had no effect at all.
Austin laughed. "Hahaha… Disappointed? Don't worry, I'll show you I can do much more than this."
As he spoke, he gripped the armor pieces on his arm with his right hand and yanked them off.
The broken shards quickly reassembled themselves into a spear.
At the points where the fragments joined, streams of purple energy connected them together.

Alex: "…"
Damn it! What's the point of continuing this fight now?
Still, Alex refused to accept that someone with an SS-ranked talent like himself could lose to someone who'd received power from another.
