I would definitely like to continue in some fashion, not ready to just let it die.
The armour. It's temporary and meant to shield from potentially fatal blows. While it's probably much stronger than the blade, it was already weakened by the kick. It could have potentially weakened the structure of the blade, however.Eh, I doubt that. This blade is quite literally harder than diamond. See my CS for details. Chemistry is awesome. Thanks for clarifying, however.
