The vampires had always talked about how important the armor was, and Gary had seen its power firsthand. Without it, he doubted Edvard would’ve been able to hold his own against Lupus.
Gary didn’t really know the true extent of Edvard’s strength, but judging from how everyone spoke about the battle, it sounded like the armor had done most of the work. Which made Gary wonder, what if he had worn it?
He understood just how much equipment could amplify someone’s power. The Ironfang members all used weapons and specialized items in combat. And while Gary hadn’t been able to use his own gear properly yet, he could already imagine just how much stronger he'd be once he finally did.
So, if there was a piece of equipment this powerful, and if Gary could somehow harness it… maybe it could make the difference. Whether it was against Lupus returning, or worse, if the Vampire King himself turned against them, it might be exactly what he needed.
