Chapter 694 Creating A Special Elixir

-----
Before starting my day fully and do some other extra quests, there was one, rather important quest, I wanted to get quickly done this morning.
Ding!
[New [Special Quest]: [Gift Aquarina a [Sea Dragon Elixir] of A Grade at minimum!]
[You've noticed that Aquarina's Water and Ice Magic hasn't been improving as much as her Abyssal Embodiment, a dangerous power she shouldn't abuse and use all the time. So how about giving her a nice and delicious elixir to boost that magic of hers to a whole new level? On the way, she could even awaken some new power! Don't worry, acts of selflessness are always well rewarded.]
[Completion Rewards: [500000 EXP] [250000 Shared EXP] [Fire Dragon Flower (C Grade)] x4 [Volcanic Dragon Flower (A Grade)] x6 [???] x1]
[Time Limit: 2 Days, 10 Hours]
Aquarina and the rest of my friends usually visit me daily, so they should already be on their way to my house. I better hurry. To make this Elixir, I just have to mix the Elixir base I created as the first Elixir to heal Saphaley's wounds, and then add the six [Sea Dragon Flower (A Grade)] and the four [Water Dragon Flower (C Grade)]!
I quickly began mixing the materials. I added the Elixir first as the base, which began boiling rapidly. Then added a handful of Delphiro Herb for healing properties and then Sapphire Herb for enhancement of water and ice attributes. Lastly, I added a bit of dust made out of the crystal-like Water Spring Spirit Tree, for even more water attribute.
FRRSSHHHH!
As the ingredients started to boil and then mix as I used Synthesis and Extraction, I quickly threw the Dragon Flowers one by one, starting from the lowest grade ones to the highest grade while I actively conjured [Synthesis].
"[Synthesis]!"
FLAAAAAAAASH!
A bright blue light emerged from the Alchemy Cauldron, as a powerful blue aura of Ice and Water erupted from within, something I had not seen before at all!
"ROOOOAAAARR!"
The Ice and Water Auras merged together into the shape of a ferocious Sea Snake Dragon! What in the world?! This is the first time this happens.
But I've heard about it from mom. When one uses extremely high quality materials which contains "wills" of their own, "Alchemy Spirits" may emerge. They're the embodiment of the materials, who try to fight the alchemist and stop the creation of certain items.
However, when they're defeated and put back into the Cauldron, they mix into the creation and make it of even higher quality.
"SHAAAAAH!"
The Giant Sea Dragon Alchemy Spirit roared furiously, opening its jaws and unleashing a devastating Ice Breath against me!
"Ignatius!"
"On it!"
Ignatius materialized in front of me, swinging his dragon claws upwards, covered on flames and then slicing apart the icy breath of our opponent.
SLAAAAASH!
"S-SHAAAHHH…!"
The Sea Dragon Alchemy Spirit attacked back, swinging his tail rapidly and angrily at us, generating waves of water and ice.
SPLAAASH! BOOOM!
However, I quickly unsheathed Scarlet and activated her Thunder Blade Skill, swinging the tip of the blade against the ferocious Sea Dragon Alchemy Spirit before it could make more disasters in my room.
SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
CRAAAASH!
The lightning was more than enough to almost neutralize the monster, as the beast began squirming around while being inside the alchemy cauldron, I called my other spirits and then we ganged on it with all our attacks, as many as possible, until the Sea Dragon Alchemy Spirit couldn't take any more, falling inside the cauldron.
SPLASH!
"Now… [SYNTHESIS]!"
FLAAAASH!
All materials converged together perfectly, and what came from it was a beautiful blue liquid emanating the power of the sea dragon itself. It was so bright and powerful it surprised me. I quickly filled a bottle with all of it, the Elixir was more than complete, it was perfected!
Ding!
[You've synthetized the [Divine Sea Dragon Elixir (A+++ Grade)] x1!]
[You've earned 12500 Alchemy proficiency]
[The Level of the [Crafting: Lv1] Skill has increased to Level 3!]
It was done! And not only that, this confirmed I can also earn Skill Proficiency for Crafting by doing Alchemy, though the total amount is halved from how it would had been originally? I am fairly sure this item would had at least given me 25k Proficiency.
Oh well, it is better than nothing. This also assures me that while I do Alchemy I can still farm the Skills that emerge out of this Skill's Skill Tree, this is rather convenient.
BAAAM!
Suddenly, the door to my room was opened by Nephilim, who seemed dead worried about what was happening in here. She seemed surprised she found the entire room covered in water and ice.
"What happened here, young lady?" She wondered. Nephilim looked around the room dumbfounded.
"Err, well, I was crafting something using Alchemy and then… An Alchemy Spirit showed up." I sighed. "Well, now that's all in the past, it was defeated and we made the Elixir I wanted!"
"I-I see… Let me clean this room for you, also here's your breakfast. This time I didn't eat it." Nephilim seemed to say those words as if I had to praise her for not eating my food.
"Well done." I said, giving her a head pat. "Also, meet our new friend."
"BAARF!"
The little Glutton jumped over Nephilim, beginning to lick her entire face. Unlike my own reaction to his affection, Nephilim was completely unfazed, looking at the living bag with a bit of surprise, barely visible in her face.
"I see, you've given a soul to the Dimensional Bag." Nephilim was surprised. "Though wouldn't this be a bit hard to explain to your friends?"
"Nah, I'll just tell it accidentally turned into some sort of… Living Bag. They have already seen my sword and shield transform and all." I said. "At this point even my parents are aware of my Special Abilities to transform souls into spirits, so this is not so far-fetched if I explain it as a part of that power."
"Huh, the young lady seems rather cocky as always. Oh right, Aquarina and your friends are waiting you outside." Nephilim said.
"I see! Then let's finish this breakfast and let's go see them." I said.
