Liu Yang's current armor was slightly different from the one he wore earlier when jumping off the airship.
Before, his armor was just ordinary armor with no striking part. Now, the two gloves and boots have become some kind of weapon of attack because of the sharp spikes.
The gloves had sharp fingers that looked like small needles. When the fist is closed, five four spines appear at the site of the bone joint. The boots were the same thing, but there was only a thorn in the end and the back that looked like two thin but extremely sharp knives.
Looking at this scene, Liu Yang looked more like a fighter wearing steel armor and not a knight holding a giant sword. He kept the sword because it was easier to attack using his fists and feet.
One of the reasons why Liu Yang likes to use various types of weapons to attack is because of the practicality of each one of them.
