In fact, if the Lancelot's durability were considered to be at one hundred percent, that series of movements alone had already deducted no less than eight percent of it, hurting both enemy and machine.
If it kept up that kind of movement that no one could even follow, along with actions that seemed unbelievable to the other KF pilots on-site, the Lancelot could not possibly last twenty minutes as Cecil had initially estimated. After about five minutes at most, its leg joints would break first, its waist would explode immediately afterward, and its arms would twist beyond the point of making any movements at all.

Of course, that was only the result of Xiao Ran piloting the Lancelot through
