282: Chapter 270: Clothing and Beasts 282: Chapter 270: Clothing and Beasts Humans generally regard clothing as rely a tool for warmth and modesty, only caring about whether the clothes look good, feel comfortable, or are made by famous brands.
Humans seem to value clothing greatly, but more as a ans of satisfying vanity.
True lovers of clothing are few, and only the national military would use clothing for combat.
The Spine are different,
All of the Spine value clothing highly, seeing it as an important partner that joins them on the battlefield, or as part of their body.
Spine like Luo Di, who rely on their physical bodies to kill enemies, favor overlay or embedded armors, typically using materials like Hell tal or hardened bone.
They do not care about aesthetics; they only care if such clothing can adapt to their own war characteristics, whether it can block fatal attacks on the battlefield, or help them crush their enemies together.
Those Spine leaning towards Hell Magic usually choose lightweight, easily concealed Skin that is more conductive for magic.
Generally speaking, Spine who can beco envoys are often at the Demon Ascension level and “complex in composition”.
Not only can they rely on their physical bodies to kill enemies on the battlefield, but they also use Hell Magic to handle various situations.
Envoy’s Clothing is often designed as a relatively lightweight Knight Armor, embedded with Skin.
Comfortable and light yet amplifying magic and providing effective physical resistance.
The back area is also specially designed with gaps to highlight the Spine, exposing the Black Spine to assert the identity of the envoy.
[Bone Seam Tailoring]
Luo Di arrived at an upscale clothing store, trying several styles of clothing and finding none satisfactory.
These armors indeed looked good and were practical.
So had noticeable lava patterns on the surface, others were pure jet black, and so had intricately sculpted Skull structures on the shoulders, so even inspired by Hell Beasts for their beast-shaped armors.
Luo Di liked them at first glance, but always felt sothing was missing.
“This tal…
seems quite ordinary.”
With Luo Di’s verbal statent, the designer imdiately understood, “This type of tal is already the best material we have here.
If Lord Envoy, you compare it to the tal from the Sequence, indeed there is a big difference.
We only have normal tal refined from ore here.
It does not have the Suffering property.
If you have requirents for Suffering properties, I suggest you get armor from their territory once you reach the Sequence.”
You’re right.
That was exactly what Luo Di cared about; this ordinary tal was not even comparable to the torture devices he created with his left arm.
It would be better to wait until he reached the Punishnt Room or the headquarters of the Sequence to manufacture an armor related to tals.
This envoy’s trip, he wanted to minimize the Spine characteristics as much as possible.
“Can you help customize an innerwear Skin garnt?”
“What kind of clothing do you want?
Can you describe it roughly?”
“Do you have paper and pen?”
Luo Di had so talent in drawing, having designed Murderer masks several tis during his studies, and on the spot, he drew up a set of Murderer outfits centered around a leather overcoat.
Underneath, a high-collar knitted shirt, dark gray.
Paired with multi-pocket tactical cargo pants, black.
Black Dr.
Martens boots with tal toe armor, thick soles.
Although the designer saw such clothing design for the first ti, he surprisingly found it very interesting and well-matching with the Otherworld coat Luo Di was wearing.
“Lord Envoy, if you don’t mind, could you take off the jacket you are wearing for to use as a reference for production?
The design you provided is sothing I have never encountered.
If I have a reference, the customization will be faster and more in line with your needs.
We can lend you an armor in the anti.”
“How long will it take?”
“If you don’t have specific requests for Hell Rune branding, just simple Skin garnt fabrication, it can be done within three hours.”
“Okay.”
Luo Di did push-ups in the clothing store while waiting.
He wasn’t in a hurry to choose a mount; in his view, the choice of mount might have certain relevance to clothing, so it was better to get dressed first.
After two hours of waiting.
A set of clothing still steaming hot was presented in front of Luo Di.
Made from the Skin of Hell Creatures, it actually achieved the sa effect as on Luo Di’s design drawing; the knitted shirt really had a fabric feel, and the tactical pants were also quite perfect.
As for the Dr.
Martens boots, the toe of the leather shoes was directly plated with a layer of jet black tal.
When trying them on, there was a noticeable perfect adherence of the Skin, a feeling of encapsulation similar to the investigator’s clothing.
“Where does this Skin material originate from?”
“Most co from bodies that died on the battlefield, processed through technology to yield various types of skin materials.
The Skin you are provided with, my lord Envoy, is of high purity and also possesses regenerative properties.
No matter how you activate the Spine to tear the clothing, it will heal itself afterwards.”
“Thank you.”
Luo Di stood in front of the mirror, admiring the outfit, completely unexpected that he could still maintain the image of a Murderer even in True Hell.
That’s good too, after all the upcoming journey requires him to “stand out”.
Leaving the store,
Fei Spine began to comnt too, it had thought that Luo Di would choose a set of high-level Envoy’s Clothing, but it turned out to be ordinary skin garnts, without even a Hell Rune inscribed.
“Mr.
Di, without armor for protection, our journey might be even more perilous.”
Luo Di countered: “Didn’t you say the status of Envoy would ensure safety?”
“It can ensure most safety.
Those belonging to other powers, with nas and reputations, not only target envoys.
But those alone, naless existences wandering through Hell, won’t consider much.”
“It doesn’t matter…
if I encounter soone truly unbeatable, even with armor I wouldn’t overco them.”
“That makes sense~ Next, we need to choose a mount strong enough to support us to reach the Punishnt Room Headquarters.
Headquarters is quite far from Nest City, even though we travel through the War Transmission Formation reaching the furthest frontline, we still need to cross two entire realms of Hell to reach the region where the Punishnt Room is located.”
“Sounds far?”
“Indeed~ After all, the region of the Headquarters is located on the edge of True Hell, while Nest City is roughly in the central position.”
“Let’s go, choose a mount~ By the way, are those the mounts we saw on the streets?”
“Not really…
The mounts for envoys are of a higher order, unlike the transportation beasts in the city.
Because envoys often need to travel outside and don’t participate in battlefields, their mounts are their most important partners, often accompanied for a long ti.
The [Beast Cave] isn’t far, just a walk from here.”
“Beast Cave?”
“Yes, the largest wild beast market in Central Nest.
The Hell Beasts sold there include but are not limited to Combat Servants, transportation beasts, mobile containers, and the envoy mounts you need.
No worries about the price.
Because you are an Envoy, you just need to choose freely, and the expenses will be covered by higher authorities.”
As the intense stench drilled into his nostrils, the cavern structure building appeared at the corner.
A large number of Spines walked in and out here, purchasing their favored Hell Beasts using currency won from War.
Luo Di, observing so beasts with protruding Spines, couldn’t help but recall his earlier Physical Casting, “Are these Hell Beasts cast from Spines as well?”
“That isn’t the case… Hell Beasts transford by Spines are only a small part.
Most are real wild creatures caught from various parts of Hell, our True Hell’s diversity is quite abundant.
So beasts suitable for Spines, once captured and brought back to Chaos Nest City, undergo specialized Spine implants to beco Hell Beasts suitable for use by Spines.”
“Must implant Spine?”
“Without implantation, it would be very difficult to control…
Moreover, the implantation of Spine bones helps Spines establish a better relationship with their mounts, which is beneficial for War.”
“Is that so…”
Stepping into the nest,
This cave had been transford into a multi-layer honeycomb structure, with bone brackets embedded in the rock walls hanging kerosene lamps, smoke condensing into tar droplets on the top, and the ground covered with moist beast skins and broken teeth.
The pungent sll of sulfur, rotten at, and rust, breathing as if the throat were being scraped by sandpaper, “Deodorizing Fungal Mats” in the corners (a type of wriggling tumor) devouring odors but emitting a sweet stench of decay.
Hundreds of iron cages, big and small, either stacked or hanging in the high space of the cave.
Not limited to Spine-exposing blood dogs, vultures, etc., but also large rideable worms.
This is just the periphery of Beast Cave, deeper areas still lie within.As Fei Spine led him deeper inside, a large transport truck driven by Spine materials and concealed with black cloth just returned to the Beast Cave.
Sounds of native Hell wild beasts calling from inside,
The black cloth did not cover it completely, and Luo Di happened to glimpse a creature similar to one from the Human World.
Detected by a thermal cara, this beast had a very low body temperature, incompatible with Spines.
Moreover, the cage restraining this Hell Beast was engraved with a special Hell Symbol, differing from the other iron cages.
“Good stuff…”
