As his fingertips gently brushed over the exquisite circular hole on the belt, Roland could clearly feel that something was missing.
This suit of Armor was like an intricate clock tower, structurally complete but cut off from its power source, or a supercar with a perfect engine but an empty gas tank. It lay dormant, waiting for the day it would be truly awakened.
'If... I could find a suitable Power Core to set inside...'
His imagination began to run wild.
Then, this Armor would do far more than just provide defense.
Like the gear of the Rusted Knights, it might greatly enhance his Power and speed, perhaps generate a continuous Energy Shield, or even unlock some unknown special abilities.
Things like short-range flight, optical camouflage, or an Energy Weapon System integrated into the Armor.
