Chapter 405 A Set Worthy of a Warrior (1/2)

I knocked on the doors to Alicia's house, and Fox opened them. ”Nex! You are finally back!”. We walked in, where I asked ”Is Alicia back?”. She shook her head, and replied ”No, I haven't seen her yet. Suly is worried for her, did something happen?”. I told her that everything was alright, and it must've been due to the difficulty of making a weapon from Lunite.

I then asked, ”Did you make any progress with your training?”. She replied a bit downcast, ”Not that much. It's really difficult… But I have some good news as well. Me and Suly made a new set of armour for you”. 'I almost forgot about that' I thought and replied, ”Great, let me have a look then”. She motioned for me to follow, and we headed downstairs to the basement. Suly was as hardworking as usual. Books littered her desk, while she read one of them.

Fox called out to her, ”Hey, look who's here for a visit”. Suly lifted her head up, and exclaimed ”Nex!”. She abandoned her books, and quickly ran up to me. I said, ”Thank you again Suly. You helped me a lot. You don't even realise how much you did for me”. I took out the Zenith Extract of the strongest medicine I had, and handed it to Suly. ”Here take this. It might not be much, but this is really powerful medicine. I'm not sure how strong it is, but it might save your life”.

She didn't want to take it, but I insisted and handed her the medicine anyway. ”Right now, there are only three such medicines in the world. It's one of the most precious things I have. I want you to have it”. I didn't know whether what I said was true, but as far as I was aware, there were only three such bottles in the world. Suly nodded her head, and put away the medicine.

I continued, ”I heard you also created a set of armour for me”. Suly replied promptly, ”Oh yea! We did, let me get it”. Suly ran to another room, while Fox grumbled ”I could use that medicine too”. I asked her in a teasing way, ”Did you say something?”. She replied angrily, ”You heard me damn well. Your hearing is better than that of an animal...”. I smiled while saying, ”You don't need it. Besides, I'm taking you with me. We are going to have a small talk with Golems”.

Suly came back shortly, and asked me to close my eyes. I smiled, and did as I was instructed. Suly prepared something for a while, then said ”You can open them now”. When I did, I heard ”Ta Dah!”. A new set of leather armour stood displayed in front of me. Suly used some sort of statue, to display the set. This reminded me of a shop, me and Fox saw back in Endros Imperial City.

She asked, ”What do you think?”. The armour looked great. Not too flashy, but had a certain design to it. I replied ”It looks great. Can I try it on?”. Suly nodded, and looked at Fox. Fox replied, ”I would leave! I'm not some pervert, you know”. They went upstairs to give me some space.

'This armour set is great. It's not just any leather, I can see and feel that the material is great. The design suits me as well' I thought. The set consists of a few things. The most prominent piece, was the chest piece. Although Suly never saw my right arm in its full glory, Fox did. The chest piece, was made in the style of scales.

It was made in a similar style, but the pieces or the ”scales” were much bigger. They were also stitched horizontally. In a sense, like waves on the sea. Altogether, there were four such layers. The chest piece was black in colour mostly, but it also had grey and white elements to it as well. Especially the edges of each layer, which were grey in colour. Visually, it looked great and imposing. In the middle of chest piece, a familiar skull was embedded. I smiled when I saw it, as it looked like my mask.

Additionally to the chest piece, a grey cloak was attached. It had no designs, or insignias, but the bottom of it looked like it was ripped off. This gave it somewhat less plain look, which I liked very much. The cloak had a hood as well, which followed the same design as the bottom of it. There were no holes in the hood, but the edges looked like they were ripped.

Then there were the pants. They were also black in colour, but didn't follow the design of the chest piece. They looked more plain, and simple. 'It would be pointless anyway. I have my additional armour, so the design would be mostly hidden. If my guess is right, Fox made them plain on purpose' I thought. I didn't mind at all, plain didn't mean rubbish.

The boots were tall enough, to cover my ankles completely. They were dark grey in colour, with dark brown elements and studs. 'Fortunately, she didn't use too many studs… I'm not that interested in them' I thought. The studs were barely visible due to their location, and size. Adding in the dark brown colour, they worked very well with the overall design of the boots.

Last but not least, was the glove. I only got one, because my right hand didn't need it. The glove was black in colour, and had the same skull design as the chest piece. I took off my old clothes, and dressed up in my new set. ”It's almost a perfect fit… I have no idea, how Fox was able to match it so well to my body”. I even suspected she somehow took my measurement, while I was asleep.

The pants were a bit too tight for my linking, by they didn't restrict my movement. 'I should get used to it. Besides, the material should adjust better to my needs in the future' I thought. With the new set on me, I called out to Fox and Suly. Suly rushed downstairs, and took a look at me. ”Wow! So cool! That Fox knows how to make clothes. Although I helped her too!”. Fox came down as well, and looked at me for a while. She then replied to Suly, ”Of course I know! Who do you think I'm?”.
