As my Alchemist Recipe Book Skill Leveled Up without me expecting it, new [Instant Creation] items appeared in front of me.
[Apprentice Alchemist Recipe Book: Lv2]
Skill Proficiency 50/20000
A Skill that only incredibly talented Alchemist can learn. It grants access to a special Book that can materialize out of thin air, where an alchemist is capable of accessing a series of recipes that are unlocked over time and the Skill Level, it also grants detailed information about Materials which are then registered in the book.
Through the book and the required set of special Skills, Synthesis can be done anywhere.
Available Recipes for Instant Creation:

Level 2: [Poisonous Smoke Bomb (Normal Grade)], [Combustion Bomb (Normal Grade)], [Lesser Holy Water (Normal Grade)], and [Lesser Stamina Potion (Normal Grade)]
And one of such items was…
[Lesser Holy Water Recipe (Normal Grade)]
A Holy Water imbued with a slight amount of holiness, it is capable of fending off monsters and hurt Undead, drinking it might satiate thirst and recover stamina a bit. It can be used as a material to create greater potions.
Required Ingredients: [Water x1] [Holy Light Element-Imbued Material x1]
Required Skills: [Brewing: Lv2] [Synthetize: Lv2] [Alchemy: Lv2]
Required Class: [Alchemist ★: Lv20+]
Interesting, this item has a lot of requirements even though the ingredients required are not even that many, and I've got the perfect material for these.
[Purified Ashes of the Fallen (Rare Grade)]
The ashes created as a result of purifying powerful Undead who held accursed spirits within their bodies. These ashes contain great amounts of Spiritual Essence and Soul Essence within them and are highly sought after for the performance of high ranked alchemy. They can be used for either the creation of potions, magic items, and even the enchantment of equipment.
These ashes contain the Holy Element, which is specially strong against Demons and Undead.
I have gotten tons of these when we fought the Undead, and now that I've got the perfect recipe for them, without even doubting it for a bit, I began mass producing Lesser Holy Water Bottles in masse!
POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF!
A small bottle with a pure and clear liquid inside, water, emerged one after the other, as I couldn't help but smile. Eleanora quickly saved them all, my bag still had more space if needed, and water was easy to produce when I could use Water Magic to produce water with ease.
However, there was another Item that interested me…
[Combustion Bomb (Normal Grade)]
A device filled with gunpowder and other explosive materials. Although simple in construction, its flames can spread far and wide and inflict burns in addition to the physical damage from the explosion.
Required Ingredients: [Ashes x2] [Gunpowder x2] [Crimson Ore x1]
Required Skills: [Brewing: Lv2] [Synthetize: Lv2] [Alchemy: Lv2]
Required Class: [Alchemist ★: Lv20+]
Interesting… I do have ashes with me right now, but gunpowder? The only thing that could be used for gunpowder that is flammable enough would be wood, and for Crimson Ore? That's a certainly specific material, but it is actually a wide variety of flammable ores imbued with fire element. I've seen them around the market, lesser ones are not expensive enough so I've bought them out of curiosity.
I never thought they would become such a pillar ingredient, I only had ten of them, and small in size, but should suffice.
"Blood, break that lumber in there!"
I ordered Blood to do as I said, as the wolf used its claws to break a lumber lying in the forest as I jumped over the large piece of broken wood, touching them. I immediately commanded the Grimoire as all ingredients were met, in mere seconds, dynamite-like bombs flaring with red color materialized one after the other, until ten were made and swiftly caught by Eleanora's bag.
POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF!
"A-Amazing, these are Combustion Bombs!" Eric said, looking at the one Eleanora held in her hand. "You can even make those?!"
"An easy task." I said.
"Incredible, my lord's powers are truly evolving beyond what you were capable of doing before…" Said Eleanora while almost whispering to me to not let everyone else hear her remark.
"Indeed, these Skills powers are certainly something truly unique, but we don't got time to waste, let's go." I quickly ordered Blood to carry me once more, as we swiftly moved across the woods.
Finally, one of my Falcos spotted the Undead army. They were hundreds of zombies and skeletons, and just as I guessed, although they looked normal in appearance, they were all imbued with a Miasmic Aura that enhanced their power further. Although they looked to still be the same low ranked undead he used to attempt to overwhelm us before.
Nevertheless, that bastard was sitting right in the middle of his army of up to five hundred undead.
His throne, made of bones and which was a giant undead by itself, was being carried by two Rotten Giants stitched with many monster parts, making them look menacing and stronger than they usually are. And not only that, but there were also over fifty Skeleton Knights guarding him, and…
Two enormous and scaled winged reptiles, Wyverns, with him. They were not normal wyverns, however, as they were dead, and their scales as black as the night. They were Undead Wyverns named Shadow Death Wyverns and seemed stronger than the normal Wyverns they were made out, emanating black auras of powerful miasmic energy.
"This bastard…" I couldn't help but smile at the challenge, as everyone else noticed my reaction.
"What did you see?" Asked Erika.
"Wyverns…" I said while narrowing my eyes and looking into the distance.
"Eh?!" Eric immediately panicked. "D-Did you said W-Wyverns?!"
"Yeah, the Necromancer has two of them guarding him, alongside having two overpowered Rotten Giants, and his whole throne of bones is actually a Giant Bone Golem… He has five powerful high-ranked Undead at his disposal as bodyguards, and fifty Skeleton Knights around him, to boot, he got four hundred other undead surrounding him, although a part of his army fell down a pitfall…" I said while rubbing my chin.
Wait, was that pitfall made by father?!
