Chapter 7 - A House Before Departure (1/2)
At the very same spot those two made their love, MF built a small house using the nearby resources of nature, entwining the vines and logs so skillfully that it could sustain storms for many years if there is any on this swamp. Of course, this was done after they cleansed the area from weeds, mud, and some sticky white liquid. Foel then was tasked to fortify the ground to make a solid foundation of their new abode, well, forcefully.
'I just need to wait for an escape,' the tanomobi thought.
They had a quite rowdy night more so and then, the pleasant kind, to be blunt. Foel could only try to appease the devil so far.
One of the dusks ended with Foel watches her 'husband' tailored a well-made short cloak from the skinned prey MF hunted before. With some DNA tempering, MF made the other apparel set to be black, befitting for the little one with a brooding fierce gaze.
Usurpers who have reached the Golden Core didn't necessarily need to feed on mortal food to sustain themselves as well, but MF did make the best meal Foel ever caressed in her mouth with just the ingredients from nature and a bonfire. Slowly and surely, the unyielding wife became more tame as she began to look forward to the future would provide, with much positive take.
A Golden Orb stage was a critical results of by transforming and nourishing the Usurper's miniature realm to be more earth-like, then gather the fruit and the material for them to make a dense orb shell for later to be contained by a condensed mana and other elemental material of all kind and nourishment to create a perfect golden core that will automatically nurture the new converted many into that of higher quality for their realm owner to utilize.
Foel conjured multiple energy darts to be shot at herself from different angles. She deftly dodged most of them as if she could see the future. A feat that was almost impossible for her, was easily possible because of someone.
”So how is the modification?” The smirking devil asked, with a different appearance than her alluring blue persona. Silver olive hair with a simple three strand braid resting to the side of her front, giving an intelligent and caring look. Her eyes changed from deep blue to vermillion red with her olive green eyelash striking the contradictory hue that enhanced her glare to be more alluring and sharp. She also shortened her height a little to make her cute wife feel more close while also not in the same height to show superiority.
”Everything feels slow, my body moves as if time itself is lending me a hand to catch up with everything that is happening. It feels weird.”
'Motoric Instant Transmitter', the gene schematic that MF extracted from the heart of Livil, the physical attributes of that beast included mana in most of its body activity. MF couldn't use it because her body was absent from that energy.
”In a literary sense, I made your bodily chemicals transport to their destination instantly.” MF smiled with her eyes closed like she was glad. ”This includes most of your motoric action, sensory gathering, and faster muscle memory activation.”
”I see, appreciate it.” Foel looked away. She blushed a little but was quick enough to regain her composure to her usual deadpan. ”I might try some physical cultivation, if I can comprehend some of the laws.”
”Hmm, we can search for it, how about going to the nearby cultivator market?”
Foel opened her space pocket and prod her head inside to take a peek. ”I don't know if our mana crystals are enough to buy one.”
”Don't worry, money won't be an issue as long as we get there.” MF gestures her forefinger to point at the end of her sentence.
”Also, why change your appearance?” asked the tanomobi.
