Ery wished he could do his potion-making inside the confines of the Khaos space. Unfortunately, he could not.
The dragon watched Ery exit the Khaos Space silently, unable to say anything against him.
"I apologize, but I really do need to make so preparations for the battle. You can understand, right?"
Ery said with an awkward expression, before he exited through the gate.
Thanks to his nine months trip all over the world, his [Spatial Storage] was filled to the brim with a few hundred new ingredients. If he had to analyze each manually, it would take literal months, but luckily the [Universal Flora knowledge] skill did most of the job for him, so he didn't have to experint on all of them. What she needed to do was to separate the ingredients into different properties. One category for healing the physical body, one category for strength, one category for healing the mind, one category for the poisonous ones, and so on.
Then, Ery focused on creating a potion that would be helpful for his remaining 4 days.
If it were up to him, he wanted to use the remaining days to experint with potions that would increase his strength. But he believe that his strength alone would not be enough to win this battle. Then, he rembered his two specialty recipes.
[Strength Paste] and [Healing Paste].
Those two were nothing too difficult to concoct, but in exchange, he had to make them imnsely powerful as it was simple. He spent so ti experinting and ca up with the newest recipe that gives the best results for the most common ingredients.
[Strength Paste – Tier 1]
[Originality – Rank 3]
[Healing Paste – Tier 1]
[Originality – Rank 2]
After an intense, thorough experinting, Ery had reasons to believe it was the maximum result he could achieve with the most common herbs that could be found in this world.
Of course, the main ingredient was still the blue powder from the flowers in the Forbidden Forest. He decided to gather a large amount of the blue flowers, before using his [Spatial Gate] to return to Calot and see Gaious.
He found the old wizard sitting hunched on his table, busy scribbling on a piece of paper, while occasionally glancing at a thick to resting on his other hand.
Ery quickly placed two containers on the table. One was a small glass bottle filled with reddish liquid, the other was a hand-sized pot filled with thick, viscous green liquid. Both slled rather pungent, but Gaious eyed the two potions with interest.
"These two pastes will be helpful for the battle, I suggest you make as many as you can." Ery explained.
There was no way he could just spend the last few days making tier 1 potions, so he decided to hand the job to Gaious and his apprentices.
Now that the two tier-1 pastes were done, it was ti for him to focus on recipes that could help him get stronger.
He had two new special ingredients. One was the [Corrupted Lycanthore] that he found near the waters of the pond in the Three Claw Islands, the other was one-fifth of the slice of [Heavenly Fruit] he obtained from the sacred tree in Gaya Temple.
After a few simple analysis and experints, Ery concluded the heavenly fruit was very similar to the [Gaia Essence] he often got from the Forbidden Forest's Gaia Tree, down to its effects and side effects, only that it was 10 tis purer and stronger.
With the new ingredients on hand, Ery was excited to give a new, improved [Fey Gene Booster] a try.
To create a powerful gene booster, he would require three main ingredients. One was so blood from a powerful wolf to serve as a gene sample, powerful reagents and a strong acid.
Ery already had the third one. The Caracas flowers he had been growing were a rare tier 3 ingredient, but his problem was not in this ingredient, it was in the other two. Thanks to the lack of a strong bloodline and powerful reagent, the quality of the booster would have to be sacrificed.
But now, he has a piece of the heavenly fruit, so he could make a better, more powerful reagent and the vial of [Corrupted Lycanthorpe] would be the cherry on the top in this new potion.
He started making his potion, but it was noticeable that each step he did was slow and careful, ensuring there was no careless mistake that would result in him having to discard these rare ingredients.
After a quick trip to the caves, he found a few matured Caracas flowers sprouting on the walls. A year had passed since the last ti he ca here, after all.
He concocted the acid by mixing the flower and the new poisonous plant he found from his travels. Thanks to that, he was finally able to break through his maximum tier 2 acid and moved on to creating [Acid Potion – Tier 3]. The quality was almost the sa as the acid potion he could make in the Magus Academy.
Next were the reagents. Unfortunately with only one fifth of the heavenly fruit, Ery was only able to create three dosages of them.
Within a short ti, he managed to finish preparing the ingredients. It was ti to follow the gene recipes and start brewing.
The potion was a difficult one. It required him to fully concentrate on controlling the heat while keeping an eye on three powerful ingredients, ensuring none would overpower the other and ruin the potion as a whole. Fortunately, last year he had so practice creating the less powerful booster last year and knew hundreds of possible errors thanks to that.
Even so, he still managed to make a few errors.
[Fey Gene Booster – Tier 2]
[Potency strength 30%]
30% potency strength can be considered a big failure. Even his best booster before was 70%.? Fortunately, with his [Fragntation] skill, Ery was able to recycle the ingredients.
[Potency strength 60%]
"Still a failure," Ery shook his head.
[Potency strength 75%]
"Not good enough!"
So far, his [Fragntation] skill was still able to separate the ingredients. He still had a chance to find the best possible potency he could achieve before he ran out.
After a day of testing, Ery finally succeeded in creating the best possible quality.
[Fey Gene Booster – Tier 2]
[Potency Strength – 110%]
Ery managed to create two masterpieces of the tier 2 wolf gene booster.
Now it was ti to give it a try. He took a deep breath and poured one of the vials into his mouth.
