Chapter 213: Prepare the Cauldron

Kyros began to throw several ingredients inside through the glass tubes that connected to the table.

The herbs that Kyros threw in moved with great speed as a suction force pulled it, and the items zoomed right in the cauldron.

Kyros began to use the force energy that began to hold, cut, and crush the herbs as they fell into the cauldron.

Some of the items would move towards the partition with the Fire Core, and it was being burned and melted into a liquid-like substance that began to fill the large cauldron.

"This is... impossible! He's doing it all the same time!" An alchemist exclaimed. 

"Oh? You guys do it one at a time?" Kyros was so carefree that he began to chat with Champion Middle Claw.

"Ma-Master Alchemist! If you don't focus-!"

"Relax. I know what I'm doing. Still, you guys do the three M's one at a time?"

"Three M's?"

"Oh right. That's what we call it in human tongue. The three M's of Cauldron stage in alchemy. Merge, Melt, and Modify." Kyros began to point to different partitions where the cores were. Some items were being melted, some were being merged, and others passed through several of the cores and underwent changes as they were exposed to different elements.

"Ye-yes! We have to do it one at a time. Otherwise, we would be in danger of burning, overexposing, or destroying an ingredient!"

"Oh... That's slow." Kyros laughed.

Calaminus shook his head in pity. Even saints had to do the stage of cauldron preparation one at a time.

"So this is the power of Fate Challenger in Alchemy. Amazing. He doesn't need to pay attention to them but rely on instinctive actions. Considering his high int stat, it even makes it easier! Kyros is slowly learning the process by making Fate lead the way. But soon... he can do it even without Fate!" Calaminus was amazed.

The item preparation process looked like an amazing show to those who practiced the art of alchemy. Some were weeping at the sheer amazement of what Kyros displayed.

Kyros continued to look casually, but in truth, he was amazed by the alchemic process.

"So it's actually this fun. No wonder those old guys in my past life were so passionate about this..."

The process known as the Cauldron Preparation stage had several sub-stages. The first was to prepare the materials that were needed for item creation. 

The next stage was stock preparation. In this process, the 'stock' of the cauldron would be the primary means to melt and merge all the prepared items.

And finally, was the heating stage. The heating stage was the general term used to describe the process of bestowing elements to a cauldron. In reality, the cauldron isn't always heated. In some alchemy items, the cauldron needed to be exposed to freezing temperatures. Sometimes, the items needed to be electrocuted.

In the particular process that Kyros was doing, he used the fire element to increase the temperature.

But Kyros was not just doing one stage, but doing it all together. The entire Cauldron Preparation did not have substages but one huge stage where all items were being prepared, the stock was being made, and the cauldron was being heated.

"Is he... any good?" Commander Komodo talked to the most respected alchemist. Champion Middle Claw was a champion, but the Master Alchemist Crooked Bite was superior in terms of alchemy.

"Any good? Either his a Celestial, or I have wasted my life calling myself a Master alchemist!"

"A Celestial Alchemist?!" The Commander was amazed.

"He must at least be a Celestial Alchemist's disciple! Those skills! Not even the Grand Master back in our world could do that!"

"It seems that Gojirrah has brought us a lucky star!"

"Indeed! Our Kingdom will be the strongest in this world!" 

The Cauldron Preparation stage was done, and Kyros paused for a bit.

"Are both Champions alright? We will be starting the Brew Stage. I need you to have enough Force and Magic energy.

"I am alright, Master Alchemist."

"Don't underestimate me." Reptilia answered coldly.

"Alright. Be sure to keep up. And feel free to take any Force restoring potions! I did beam you with magic, after all. Still, it's a first. You must be rather sub-par as a Champion since I managed to harm you." Kyros chuckled.

[Taunt activated.]

"In any case, since you are a level lower to other Champions, drink up a Force Restoring Potion to ease my worries." Kyros urged.

"I will complete your brewing without drinking any!" The Champion Reptilia roared.

"Alright! Alright! You don't have to shout!" Kyros shook his head and immediately threw in more and more of the ingredients as the Brewing process began.

"Heat the cauldron now! I will control the excess. Champion Reptilia, use your Force energy to stir the cauldron. It's quite heavy so do it! And don't be ashamed to drink any Force-Restoring potion. You girls are weaker after all..." Kyros added.

[Taunt activated.]

"Oh snap!" Even Calaminus exclaimed at the very gender derogatory comment.

Champion Reptilia was doing her best not to cough up blood in her excessive anger.

"What are you doing?! Begin the stirring process!" Kyros erupted, and Reptilia had no choice but to stir the cauldron. She was using that cauldron to pour out all her anger as the cauldron shook as an immense whirlpool appeared from Reptilia's force stirring.

"Good! Good!" Not bad!" Kyros praised.

"I'll show you..." Reptilia vowed never to drink a single Force restoring potion in the entire process.

Kyros finally saw how her plan was working.

Gojirrah could see how angry Reptilia was.

"So that's the plan! Lord Kyros was afraid that this Princess Reptilia would drink Force Restoring potion. And since the goal was to exhaust all her force energy, Lord Kyros had to make those taunts!" Gojirrah was amazed.

Kyros began to throw all the ingredients. But then another set of ingredients that was different from the first set appeared.

"What... is that?" Reptilia asked.

"I don't want to waste time. This is the next set of items to make a De-Magic Fog." Kyros answered casually.

"We...are going to make both?" Champion Middle Claw asked.

"Yes. The De-Magic Fog just needs us to merge items and create heat. The heat from the cauldron will do. Champion Reptilia, I'll be counting on you! You sure you won't need to drink potions? It's alright if you're weak, you know? I'm used to Commander assistants after all."

"No. Continue!" Reptilia answered as she gritted her teeth.

How hard could it be for her to provide Force energy to cut, stir, and compress?

"Good! Then let's start. Keep stirring and begin to crush those ingredients at the Earth Core. Next, roll up the ingredients into a ball in the Ice Core. Start chopping those in the Lighting Core... Next..." Kyros began to list various steps. And what was even more daunting was that his hands were ready to drop in the next set of ingredients!
