Chapter 1453: Working Hard
-----
After taking on Brownie's wild charge and feeling surprised it was quite strong, I quickly nodded, praising the cute mole boy.
"So that's the Wild Charge Skill! Okay!"
After that, he stopped, he wasn't going against me, just playfully showing me. Nobody here panicked as they knew Brownie mean no actual harm.
Sometimes animals will play roughly but won't know how strong they are, but most of the time they mean no harm when they see you as family.
However, in this world I am not a frail human, so I didn't had any problems getting rough with my pets.
"And the other?"
I quickly asked Brownie to show me his next trick, using the third skill he had obtained!
"PYYGGIU!"
He quickly leaped into the air and then released a wave of pure earth spirit energy, encompassing our surroundings.
His entire body seemed to have become completely ethereal rather than the very physical, fleshy body he had before.
FLUOSH!
For a moment, it felt as if the entire world around us changed, becoming the deep of some caves. The air was damp, the walls were covered on ores, and the entrance was tight.
Despite all of that, this was a magical expansion of his spirit aura, a domain!
"This must be Earth Domain!" I said.
I noticed Brownie concentrated a lot to conjure it, the rest of my spirits and familiars were left on wonder, glancing around.
"This is pretty incredible!" said Ignatius. "I wonder if I could do something on my own with fire? Dammit… I need to evolve to even think I can though."
"You'll get there eventually, don't be impatient," I said, petting his head. "For now though, we're finally finished with evolutions! So the only one left is Ignatius."
"Yeah, only me! This is unfair…" he groaned.
"Well why were you born a dragon then?" Beelzebub asked. "You guys are the ones that need the most expensive materials to evolve!"
"Back then I needed no such things!" Ignatius complained. "I grew up just like any normal dragon, it's because I died and turned into a spirit that I need all these annoyingly expensive materials."
"Well, anyways, enough of all of this boring stuff," I said. "From seeing all of this I think I kind of got some inspiration for something…"
"Did you?" Alice wondered.
"Yep, let's make that Mist Spirit Stone," I said with a smile.
I quickly called for Violet, putting all the materials inside. And using the power of my new perception of space and the surroundings thanks to the Skill I obtained, I was finally able to see the elemental particles.
Yes this is cheating, I know… So I'll do it like this once, think about how I did it, then try to do it without it so the last one is the real one.
The Fire and Water Spirit Stones merged, melting away into small crystal fragments, then into dust. And by merging that dust together, a Mist Spirit Stone is born.
I melded the particles I saw together; it was hard, not as easy as my master and her super magic eyes though, but eventually…
FLASH!
A beautiful clear blue colored stone was formed, covered with mist. Based in how I imbued the mana, it would release either cold mist or warm mist.
"Oh this is really useful for bathrooms… So this is the perfected form, huh?"
I analyzed the stone carefully, and then got to work without using skills or cheats, using pure alchemy and nothing else.
Yes, I wasn't going to rely completely on cheats, or I would feel bad that Celeste or Celica wouldn't be able to catch up with me.
They have System Status too, but their Skills aren't nowhere as complex and big as mine. It has been a fact for a while now that the Skills from other System Status are considerably weaker than mine even when they're the same type.
So, I just feel it's not fair!
Also Ruby must be trying to do the same Mist Spirit Stone herself, we gotta help her out before we start smashing monster skulls for her to level up.
Yep, I'm giving her a System Seed prettyyyy soon! Like, perhaps today!
Also to her two Spirits, might as well right? I got a lot of EXP anyways.
Even if the last one cost me 30million EXP, I still got almost a billion, hehehe.
I'm EXP rich!
Anyways…
FLUOSH!
I continued merging the spirit stones, the first try was a complete failure, it exploded into my face.
BOOOM!
"Ugh…"
Cleaning the black soot from my face, I quickly moved to trying it again, this time by changing the cauldron's temperature and the liquidity levels, making it heavier.
Yeah, it was working like that.
However, it ended being too cold and ended becoming an ice spirit stone anyways, shit.
Tried it again, failure.
Failure.
Failure…
Failure again!
Even when I made the mist spirit stone several times, I knew they were failures as the "molecules" or whatever weren't merged enough.
"How do I make it to be perfect?"
I overanalyzed the stone many times, trying to not use my special eyes either.
Uniquely, I noticed something when I looked at it hard enough without using my Heavenly Sight.
"Hm? This is…"
I noticed small crystal growths within the spirit jewel, they were tiny but bubbly-like, and formed around the interior creating beautiful hexagonal rings.
"Oh… bubbles, huh?"

Wait, is the trick letting air, or oxygen, inside?
"Hmm…"
I quickly moved to doing just that, applying the trick of infusing oxygen by using a tiny wind spell into the magical alchemical reaction provoked by two magical spirit stones fusing together through synthesis.
In the middle of their merge, I added tiny bubbles of air inside before closing the fusion and letting things merge together at mid temperatures.
FLASH!
And then…
"I-Is this it?"
I grabbed the Mist Spirit Stone, holding it with my hands.
It gained a purple glow to it, woah, what the hell?
And as I analyzed it, I gasped.
"I think this might be better than the previous one?!"
It was better than the perfected one I did using my cheats!
"Masteeeerr!"
I ran downstairs, showing it to master Felicia immediately.
