Rather than calling it armor, it's more like some kind of crude exoskeleton. The protection it provides to Helitos is quite limited, and many parts are exposed, making it look unreliable.
"It looks like...it needs improvement."
"Of course, this is just a prototype of the Magic Armor. Now I need to verify its feasibility." Flori patted Helitos's shoulder. "It's done! Now, inject a little magic power into it and try to activate it."
Helitos wondered, "What should I do?"
"Have you forgotten? My mom took us to the ruins before. It's just like using a magic stone. You input a little magic power to activate it, and then the magic armor will enhance the range of your movements. It might be a little uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it after a while."
Helitos closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "It seems to be done."
At the same time, the magic armor made a slight buzzing sound, which made Reiner's eardrums a little itchy.
"Try taking a few steps."
Helitos nodded and moved his left leg slightly.
Then his legs suddenly lifted up and quickly dropped down, doing an inexplicable high kick.
Reiner couldn't help but laugh at the strange action.
Flori raised her fist and hit Reiner, puffing out her cheeks and cursing, "Don't laugh..."
Reiner argued: "My teeth are just a little hot, I'm not smiling."
"The movement is too big and too fast. It needs to be adjusted." Miraz squatted beside Helitos's legs and twisted a screw with his fingers a few times. Then he walked around to the left and continued to repeat the movement. "It's done. Try again."
This time, Helitos raised his leg but did not put it down. The unsteady Helitos finally took a step forward, then staggered and was about to fall.
Miraz reached out and helped him at the critical moment.
"Why do you fall down every time you walk?"
"I don't know. My balance isn't very good, and it feels weird walking in this thing. It's like there's a force working against me. I try to lift my legs, but there's a force pushing them down."
"This should be a problem with magic output. I'll adjust it again." Miraz removed the cover on the back of the magic armor, and then used his fingernails to dig at it for a long time.
Reiner watched from the side and found that the magic storage stone was a purple crystal. It was emitting a faint light and was connected by many red silk threads.
This thread should be made of pure gold, which has good magical conductivity.
It seems that it cost a lot of money to research this magic armor.
"It's broken. Try again." Miraz closed the cover.
Helitos took another tentative step forward and took a steady step forward.
There were no accidents this time.
Helitos said, "It's a very strange feeling, like there's a force pushing me forward."
"That's what makes it so powerful! Try throwing a punch!"
Helitos took a boxing stance, coordinated his footwork, suddenly exerted force from his waist, swung his arm and punched out suddenly.
The magic armor made a slight creaking sound.
As someone who saw Helitos getting beaten every day, Reiner could clearly feel that his physical strength had become stronger.
Flori's eyes lit up. "It looks good! How does it feel to use?"
Helitos replied, "My body is so light, it's a little difficult to control the armor..."
