Chapter 400 The Power Of [Instant Creation]

"I can smell rotten meat here, that necromancer is surely going to the village now!" Chris said.
"Damn it!" Eric cried.
"I feel like we ended provoking this ourselves…" Erika lamented.
"No, it wasn't because of us. He has been planning this for a while now, most likely." I said.
"What? How did you know?" Wondered Erdrich.
"I ate those souls making the Mimic's makeshift soul." I said. "I saw part of their memories; they were wandering souls from a nearby graveyard. They saw what he had been doing. It is easy to speculate based in that information that he had been planning this for a while. I was also able to see his face."
As we ran over the back of Blood and three other Fenrirs, we talked hurriedly about what I saw, all while I multi-tasked. I had several materials stocked inside of my own bags which I brought with me, so I opened the Alchemist Recipe Book section of the Grimoire and used such materials for [Instant Creation].
[Instant Creation] is the ability that comes with the Alchemist Recipe Book Skill, it allows for the instant creation of a small and specific pool of items as long as there's materials nearby. I don't even need to put them into the grimoire, as long as they're within my possession, the materials disappear automatically from my bag.
I had already ran out of potions for the most past, so I began quickly creating more. The Small Lesser Potions of red, blue, and green color began to emerge one after the other, as they were grabbed by Eleanora and stored in her own Spatial Bag.
The scene was surprising for everyone, seeing me materialize potions out of thin air was not something normal, the Grimoire was invisible to all of them.
"Wh-Where are you getting all those potions from?!" Chris asked.
"W-Woah… you're just materializing them out of thin air, Blake?" Eric asked. "Is there such a skill?"
I sighed as I made the book visible for them.
"This is the Alchemist Recipe Book, a special Alchemist Talent Skill that allows not only for the creation of new recipes using already existent ones but also allows for the [Instant Creation] of a certain pool of items. The materials are in my bags but they are discounted as I create more potions. I had just ran out of them and we will need a lot of Antidote Potions to fight the Undead and the Necromancer." I said.
"Alchemist Recipe Book…?" Asked Chris. "This is the first time I've heard of such a Skill before… Ah, you're an Invoker too, right? Maybe it is a combination of your summoning and alchemy…"
"Maybe." I said.
"Amazing, the power to merely create healing items so easily… Without even needing proper items and utensils, even if they're lesser than the ones made manually, you could mass produce them…!" Eric said while his panic flew away in an instant.
"Perhaps." I said.
"But why Antidotes though? Aren't you wasting materials?" Asked Erika.
"No. Necromancers can control miasma and poison, so it is natural we need countermeasures. Additionally, throwing an Antidote Potion in the face of an Undead will deal a lot of damage to them." I said. "We didn't try that before because I was confident we could deal with them, but based in the memories I saw, it is possible this army is reinforced with Miasma, so they're inherently poisonous and therefore stronger. Merely reaching their range will make us smell their poisonous gases excreted from their pores. Here, everyone drink one. This Lesser Potion has been modified to enhance Poison Resistance for half an hour upon drinking it."
I quickly handled everyone a potion, even Erika. She might be a doll but Miasma can still affect her over time, even if it hit her directly, it might rot away her wooden body or make it stiff, if she drinks this antidote her wooden body can be reinforced.
When everyone drank the Lesser Antidote Potions, me included, our bodies glowed for a few seconds with a green hue, the same color the potions had.
"T-This is delicious, what did you used?!" Eric asked.
"I used the leaves of the tree you created out of your staff, they're excellent materials." I said with a smile.
"Eh?! You can modify the recipe so much?!" Asked Eric.
"Yeah, as long as it matches, I can replace the ingredients with new ones. There's still a few hundred more leaves, and in addition to the potions we also got Apples and the Magic Juice to restore our MP and HP, here, drink this as well." I handled everybody a bottle with Magic Juice from Apul, my Apple Spirit, so everyone got their MP recovering at thrice the original speed.
"Ah, I feel much better now…" Elizabeth sighed. "The Antidote Potion not only help us with poison but it has some sort of stamina boost because I feel so well now."
"Might be an after effect of using Lesser Yggdrasil Leaves as ingredients…" I said while rubbing my chin, as I created a Lesser Mana Potion, a sudden announcement appeared.
[Enough Skill Proficiency requirements have been met]

Hoh, now this is interesting! Just when I needed something like this, it showed up. Now I can put all those purified ashes I got to a good use immediately! Holy Water is even more effective than Antidote Potions, and if I combine both, those Undead will weaken so much even a toddler could take them down!
With a smile in my face, I bottle containing pure water materialized out of the Grimoire's pages.
It shone with a divine light…
