Armor

*Armor you ask? We don't need armor!*

## Naked

### Skin so Strong

* Unfortunately for him, Zac’s skin was all the armor he needed, and the demon only managed to create a small flesh wound. **Book 1, Page 344**
	+ *Ed. Note: Zac's Endurance was 100 on the last status sheet shown prior to this on page 324.*
* Zac was pretty sure that he was mostly bulletproof by now, for example. It might hurt, but a bullet should barely be able to penetrate his skin. Especially if it hit his E-graded clothing. **Book 1, Page 536**
	+ *Ed. Note: Zac's Endurance was 147 on the last status sheet shown prior to this on page 518.*
* The wolves desperately tried to bite him, but the few that managed to get close couldn’t even puncture his skin. **Book 1, Page 543**
* Between his body's comprehensive upgrades from the bloodline awakening and **[Adamance of Eoz]**, his skin would become impregnable armor as long as he channeled his energy. **Chapter 1,092**

### Dao and Skills

* Zac also tested the offensive capabilities of the Fragment of the Coffin in conjunction with **[Vanguard of Undeath]**, and the fit was just amazing. It did not only make his conjured armor far sturdier, ... **Book 5, Page 8**

## Adorned

### Arrays

* Armor is like a mobile set of arrays that need a power source
* The downside of the armor [*Ossuary Bulwark*], except for costing thousands of D-grade Nexus Coins inside the isolated economy of the Perennial Vastness, was the lack of spirituality. In other words, Zac had to manually control the arrays powering the thing. It also lacked the natural ability to absorb energy from the surroundings like a Tool Spirit, making the cost of running it noticeably steeper. **Chapter 1,070**

### Cultivator Gambeson

* One was that it [*E-Grade Robe*] displaced force over his whole body instead of only at the point of impact. Quite some force was needed to break through that passive defense, and Zac wouldn’t keep getting the small flesh wounds from bites and arrows. That should come in quite handy when fighting the hordes of beasts in the future. **Book 1, Page 427**
* A few tried to rip open his robe, but the clothing was even more durable than Zac himself, and not even a scratch could be seen on the green overcoat. **Book 1, Page 543**

### Inscriptions

* Had he been prepared, he could have used the inscription on his chest piece, as his chest armor held one charge where it could nullify an attack. **Book 1, Page 227**

### Upgrade Treadmill

* The E-grade brought far greater power, but the cost of progression also multiplied manifold. ... They even needed to upgrade their gear, since their weapons and armor wouldn’t be able to stand the increased Cosmic Energy for long. **Book 3, Page 606**

## Shields

* “Shields are rare,” Galau explained. “Not many use them, and they are hard to make. So few are produced, creating a bidding war when a good one finally appears. Besides, Tool Spirits aren’t as important for shields as for weapons. The weapon’s Tool Spirit can increase your lethality to a large degree, but a Spirit Tool shield is mostly better at regenerating itself after taking damage. That’s something Neprosium is already extremely good at by itself.” **Book 4, Page 475**

## Notable Non-Regalia Armor Wearers

* **Joanna** - Only scraps remained of her armor, and she was drenched in blood from head to toe. **Chapter 1,121**
* **Pretty Peak** - Rather than a dress, she had opted to wear an engraved set of leather armor that emitted a powerful aura of carnage. **Chapter 910**
