[Chapter 206] I Have Dignity!

Soca looks at me with wide eyes before glancing down at her dress, the purples and blacks dancing in her sight. Never would she of thought this dress was so strong, she didn't even feel it move. She thought the dress was ruined from the Alpha Pillar's immense heat but is shocked as she feels it shifting back to normal.

She looks back at me with shock written in her eyes, as if she had seen a god. I nod, "I designed it so that anything these kingdoms throw, you will be able to take. Just don't expose that dress to heat."

She stares at me as her eyes suddenly increase in size, "You...you designed this? Did you use a pre-designed dress as a template?"

I nod, "No, I created it from your theme word then and there. You even watched me make it right in front of you."

She blushes in embarrassment before looking away, "I guess your right." Soca had just been shocked by the fact that it didn't even move, having most of her dresses torn being a common occurrence.

I nod as I tap on the silent maid, "Can we continue to the room?"

The maid nearly jumps from her skin at the sound of my voice addressing her. She hurriedly nods and fixes her clothes before continuing forward.

We walk down the hallway silently as colorful crystals light each hall, eventually, we stand in front of a stone door, the ascetic not changing much due to limited resources underground.

The only difference between the doors and the walls being the intricate carvings inside of it. I open the door and check inside, making sure no one else is inside. I could hear around me and hear noise even coming from the noble area, but I prefer to rely on my eyes since visual is better in my opinion.

Inside is a room with a large queen sized bed, bedside drawers on both sides. Glowing lamps rest on top of the drawers, lighting up the windowless room.

A door to the side leads to a bathroom, but other than that, there is a table and 2 couches facing eachother, but nothing else. I walk in and wave my hand, the shadows jumping to life before everyone's eyes. I ignore them as I walk over to the work bench, the parts of the exoskeleton smacking onto the table with a bang.

Emily yanks out her dagger fiercely, the injuries she suffered from days ago seemingly nonexistent. Even if she can't hurt me, the dagger feels like an assurance to her hidden fear. I ignore her as I continue with my work, assembling the mechanical skeleton easily. I just had to create some tools on the fly as I assembled each piece.

Emily glances over my shoulder in curiosity, still bearing her dagger. Her eyes gaze across the metal suit-like skeleton in awe, having never seen something like this before.

"What are you creating?" Asks Emily, the grip on her dagger weakening.

I don't take my eyes from the exosuit as I create panels of armor, molding each piece to cover their respective limbs. Each piece I create is black in color, giving the suit of exoskeleton armor a dark Knight look. But I stop at the helmet, knowing I am going to need more advanced tools to create it. I am not gonna make them here since I would have to leave them due to my storage rings being filled to their max.

I pull out the large mass of coral from the side of the table as I wave my other hand. A grey bowl appears in front of me and I place the coral inside, it's blue color gazing at me. I reach out my hand and suddenly squeeze, breaking the coral into dust and smaller chunks.

I repeated the process until it was completely dust, no hard pieces left. I then waved my hand as a liquid fell into the bowl, its black color shimmering with different colors inside. I wave my hand as a black stick appears in my hands, nothing unique about it. I place it into the bowl as I begin stirring the powder and black liquid together, creating a viscous navy color.

I nod after stirring it for a bit longer, letting go of the stirring stick to watch it spin around the bowl for a moment. Then I pick up the bowl and turn around, just to see Emily and Soca watching me intently, this process being new to them both.

'They have never seen anything like this from what I can assume, so curiosity is bound to be born.' I wave my hand and nearly drop the bowl from surprise as I hear a voice in my head.

"Oooooh, those colors are pretty. What are you doing?" I shake my head as I activate 'Parasitic Telepathy.'

'Sky, I almost dropped the pretty colors, could you be more careful next time?' I ask her in a kind voice.

"Yeah, I'm sorry." She apologizes sincerely, seeing why I had jumped earlier.

'Anyway, I'm going to boil the paint on a pan to remove the water from it, although I don't know how it does it. I'm just following the industrial recipe.' I explain as I realize my lack of knowledge on this paints creation.

I shake my head as I walk past Soca, only to see her body covered in dried sweat. I point at the bathroom, "Go get a shower please, I'll create you some clothes to wear when you get out."

She goes to say something but falls silent before nodding, realizing she is not in a good state currently. She had been squeezed to near death by her mother's mana beast, plus had to deal with the heat and stress of it all, she could use a good bath.

Soca silently enters the bathroom and shuts the door behind her, Emily hurriedly standing in front of it.

"..."

'Does she think I'm a pervert?! I have more dignity than that!'
