[KNIGHT'S GRACE ACTIVATED]
[EQUIPPING...]
The armor materialized around him in sections. Chest plate forming first, void-infused metal wrapping around his torso. Gauntlets covering his hands and forearms. Greaves protecting his legs. Shoulder guards completing the set. The whole process took maybe two seconds, but the infected were thrown back by the sudden expansion of solid material where Noah's body had been.
[VOID SHELL ACTIVE - 30% DAMAGE ABSORPTION]
[ENHANCED VOID ENERGY REGENERATION ACTIVE]
The tendrils hit the armor and recoiled like they'd touched fire. They searched desperately for gaps, for exposed skin, but the Knight's Grace coverage was complete. Where the tendrils touched the void-infused metal, small sparks of purple energy erupted, the armor actively rejecting the parasitic intrusion.
