Absorption and defense were different... and the gap between them was no small one!
For example, an ordinary person could wear a suit of plate armor with defense that defied heaven—no weapon could possibly break through it. But that did not mean the person inside was absolutely safe. If direct attacks could not hurt the person inside, what about the impact produced when the armor was struck?
As long as the attack was strong enough, even if it could not break the plate armor, it could still shake the person inside to death!
But absorption was another matter entirely. So long as the force of the attack did not exceed its absorption limit, the entire attack would be completely absorbed. Where would any impact come from? Even attacks based on shockwaves and vibrations would be absorbed... Of course, if the attack exceeded the absorption limit, this outfit's defensive power would probably be no different from ordinary clothes. &

The moment she saw the two arrivals, the little nun could no longer sit still and jumped out on her own. "You're not allowed to hurt him!"
"...Troublesome!" The red-haired man coughed lightly twice, his expression ugly. Index bore no small amount of hostility toward them, and that hostility could easily be exploited by others—Jiu Ming, for instance. "We'll discuss your matter later. Move aside, now. The one standing behind you is an inhuman monster."
