☀️ Arselia and Akonia

"So, you're skeptical about the armor, Alaria?" the red-haired woman mused to herself, sounding like a true Taranian. "Well, that's why I said, 'let's dream a little.' There's no point in discussing a means of protection whose operating principle hasn't even been invented yet, and we only have some hypotheses. But if it turns out the way I want, the armor's adaptability will be supernatural. We'll just need to accumulate more mass, and then, with skillful management, we can render any enemy attack ineffective. For example... One of the most dangerous ultimate attacks I can imagine is forced teleportation. If a sorcerer distorts the space around the victim, even magical immunity might not save them from being pulled into a portal and meeting a gruesome death in the depths of underground magma. But in the armor I described, you could simply sacrifice a piece of the accumulated mass and avoid such an attack without much difficulty. Of course, even then, there are no absolute guarantees, which is why I believe that speed is actually more important than strength. Armor is something you resort to when you've messed up your own attack, your attention to your surroundings, or your escape, and you have to deal with the consequences," she winked.
