The extracted materials fused under his combined essence control, forming a framework that was part biological and part mineral.
Then he surrounded that framework with blood essence shaped into artificial muscle fibers, creating a construct that moved with biological efficiency powered by essence rather than normal metabolic processes.
What emerged was a humanoid figure made from metal bones wrapped in blood-red pseudoflesh. It stood eight feet tall, moved with unnatural grace, and possessed strength that exceeded organic limitations because it wasn't constrained by the need to maintain living tissue—it was just a combat construct, temporary and disposable.
The blood golem intercepted two guards with movements too fast for their armor to fully absorb. Its fists were solid iron wrapped in essence, hitting with force that dented enhanced armor and broke the organic tissue beneath.
