Chapter 1232: Evolving Violet
Chapter 1232: Evolving Violet
"Oh. Goddess Sylphy. You're back sooner than I expected. Welcome. Back."
Chief greeted me as I entered the Dungeon, finding myself right in the middle of the Robotian Village. This morning I had used their large smithy to evolve Scarlet and Sapphire, and now I was borrowing it again to evolve Violet.
"Hi~ I came back, can I borrow the smithy again?" I asked. "I need to evolve another Familiar. She's the walking and talking Alchemy Cauldron you see sometimes."
"Oooh. Of course. Please, come in." He quickly invited me inside the largest smithy. "There aren't many. People. As before. However, those here. Will gladly look at how you. Do it."
"Hello."
"She's back."
"Hello."
"Oh, cauldron."
"Alchemy Cauldron?"
The robots quickly gathered around Violet, looking at her with great interest. Their large, mechanical pincer-like hands started touching her tough "outer shell", the Alchemy Cauldron itself.
"Guuh... Gyu! Geeh..."
Violet was scared, hiding inside the cauldron. I quickly ran to help her out. These robots mean no harm, but sometimes they were a bit too curious.
"Please don't touch my Violet, she's very shy and only lets me touch her." I said, quickly making the robots stand back.
"Ahhh! We are deeply. Sorry." The chief panicked. "All of you. Stop. Don't do that." "Sorry."
The robots quickly walked back.
"It's fine, just don't touch things that aren't yours or people out of nowhere, okay? It is basic common sense." I explained to the robots. "When you finally begin interacting with more people, you must always keep this rule inside your minds."
"Understood. We shall store that rule. Inside of our memory data."
"Good."
With Violet, we walked near the forge. I quickly took out all the necessary materials. First, I feed her all the slime materials. Twenty different Slime Cores, ten bottles of colorful slime, and also fifty corpses of dried slimes.
Of course, these were my dungeon's Monster Slimes, unique to my Dungeon only, apparently. These monster slimes are completely different in composition to the other Slimes, the people that were made by the Gods.
For once, unlike the Slime People, Monster Slimes have a spherical slime core, which is their monster core, inside of their slimy body. Second, unlike Slime People, Monster Slimes don't have internal organs nor have a membrane covering their bodies, they're completely made out of acidic goo, while Slime People cover themselves on it, they're actually more like gummy in texture than actual goo or water.
The exception to that rule is Pyuku, as a new Species of Slime People, he was made from the fusion of many, so his natural body composition changed tremendously, he has the ability to compact his own mass, extend it, and transform seamlessly, while having a very high level of intelligence, capable of talking unlike his kind, and absorbing magic from the monster crystals he eats.
Violet could be said to be more like a Slime Monster too, she doesn't have a core though, but her "true body", the purple-colored slime inside the cauldron, is made out of a similar composition to the Monster Slimes, the cauldron is more than just a shell though, it could be said to be her actual core.
If she's separated from her cauldron, she'll die, if the cauldron break, she'll die, if the cauldron oxidates, she'll die... It is a bit hard for her, but the cauldron is thankfully incredibly tough and durable.
And with these materials, I am about to make it near indestructible too! But because she has a much more delicate composition than Scarlet or Sapphire, I need to be more careful.
"Hmm, nom, nom, nom..." Violet was happily eating the slime monster materials I gave to her, her evolution process had already begun the moment she started eating. Meanwhile, a myriad of metals began being smelted and made into a giant pool of liquid metal. I quickly grabbed her, placing her over the boiling metal pool, and also adding my own metallic blood, and Draconification Scales, Fangs, Claws, and Horns.
"{Fusion Synthesis} {Forge}!"
After activating my Subclass Ability, the powerful Domain, I combined its effects with my Fusion Alchemy Skill and my Forging Skill, all further improving the Alchemy and Blacksmithing Spells I had learned from mom.
FLASH!
The metal slowly began to merge into her body, as she ate more and more slime materials. I used my hammer to smack the metal into her body, then using magic crystal dust, I inscribed her with many runes for greater protection and enchantments.
Violet wasn't really made for battle; she was an assistant for my Alchemy. But seeing how she's always looking forward to joining a fight one day, I ended deciding to boost her fighting and defensive capabilities.
Perhaps in her instincts as a Slime Monster, she wants to fight and grow stronger like any other monster. So this time, I will help her obtain such a strength!
The flames flared, burning through her body as I cooled her down, imprinting into her metallic cauldron body all kinds of runes, and embedding many new magic crystals and spirit crystals.
I took a look at her Status one last time before her Evolution:

{Skills}: [Living Alchemy Cauldron: Lv5] [Synthetizing Stomach: Lv5] [Slimy Body: Lv4] [Material Combination: Lv4] [Material Assimilation: Lv4] [Alchemist Recipe Book: Lv3]
Her Skills were all nicely leveled, and she had been working hard to get this far. She gains EXP by doing alchemy after all. And all her skills were about Alchemy and assisting me with that. But that was about to change, aside from helping me with that, Violet was going to gain a bit
more offensive and defensive power.
"You've sure come a long way, Violet..."
I'll make her tough enough that I'll be able to do alchemy anywhere I want, anytime!
A powerful, intelligent cauldron that can even do alchemy in the middle of a monster- infested dungeon or a battlefield...
That's what Violet will become.
"It's done..."
"Guuuuh!"
FLAAASH!
