Alex did not waste time.
He dashed forward, warhammer raised, and MingYue moved with him without needing a signal.
Sigma's body was locked in the space lock formation.
It could still move, but every movement was heavier, like it was swimming through thick mud.
Alex swung the warhammer.
The white flame head smashed into Sigma's left shoulder.
BOOM!
Stone plates burst outward.
Purple energy sprayed like mist, then snapped back into the core, trying to heal the damage.
MingYue took the opening.
She flicked her wrist and condensed an ice spike the size of a spearhead.
She drove it into Sigma's exposed joint.
Crack.
The ice spread into the gap before Sigma's purple energy could move it away.
Sigma tried to wrench its arm back.
The space lock resisted.
Alex's rune formation tightened like a clamp.
"Now," Alex said.
He drew a second rune with his free hand, a thin chain pattern that linked the warhammer to Sigma's body.
