The Blade Chaser flew out into an empty zone that was situated a fair distance away from the expeditionary fleet.
After Venerable Imon Ingvar went through apotheosis and became born anew, his brand-new custom mech no longer suited his level of strength.
He did not abandon it, though. The Larkinson Clan still needed a lot of time to provide him with an expert mech, and there were no machines available that could give him a better piloting experience.
Even if he had the option to adopt a new expert mech, he would feel extremely reluctant to make the switch.
Though he only piloted the Blade Chaser for a short amount of time back when he was an expert candidate, he already developed a strong emotional bond with his machine.
Gloriana had designed and tailored it to fit his fighting style and inclinations and that hadn't changed that much.
Sure, he was stronger and more skilled than ever before, but the Blade Chaser still aligned with his style.
