Synopsis

The chapter depicts a fight against an opponent wielding a TH-generation Magic Energy Armor, which is revealed to be powered by a Mana Reactor, a technology previously thought to be cutting-edge. Despite the armor's strength, the protagonist successfully attacks the opponent through its weak points and also uses a shock magic ability, forcing them to admit defeat. The chapter ends with the protagonist learning more about the origins of the armor and the group 'Steelguards' and his starfish companion exhibiting an ability to absorb magic armor tech from eating it, which leads to the protagonist trying to use up his energy reserves.
