Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 526 Lucifer Has Been Tamed Well
-----
Suddenly, the door of our workshop opened, as Lucifer walked in with Nyx over his arms.
"Lunch is ready- Hm? What with all this smoke? How can you girls even work here? Cough…"
"Ahahah, sorry, we were just making bombs." I said.
"Bombs?! Why do you want to make bombs for? Also it would be dangerous if there are bombs around when little Nyx might touch one accidentally!" Lucifer said angrily.
"We'll save them in my Inventory! C-Come on, relax a bit!" I said, as I quickly stored everything inside of my Inventory.
Little Nyx was moving her little arms around, stretching them to get to me.
"Mama! Maaaaa!"
"N-Nyx, we have to go eat now!"
Lucifer tried to stop her but she suddenly flapped her tiny wings and took off into the air.
FLAASH!
"Maaamaaaa!"
Nyx suddenly fell over my face, as she hugged me, and began using her tail to wrap around my neck.
"Ugh, N-Nyx, did you miss mama?" I muttered, trying to get her off me.
"Nom…" f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚
Suddenly, her sharp teeth pierced my forehead, as she began to bite me.
"Aaagh! I-It actually hurts a bit! Is this because of your high Attack Stat?! Ouch! S-Stop this!" I cried, as I quickly became translucent, but Nyx continued biting me easily even in such a form, because she also had my own phantasmal abilities to an extent, she was a half-ghost and half-dragon girl.
"Bahahah…"
Nyx began to laugh evilly as I tried to get her out of my face, all while we flew downstairs and were greeted with a big feast, mostly grilled meat with stew, and some basic salad. All of this was done by Lucifer.
As I finally managed to get her off me, I sat her down in her tall seating and handled her a big piece of meat. She was finally calmed down, as the little dragon began nibbling her meat.
She's really a little devil.
However, more importantly…
"Amazing! Did you cook all of this?!" I asked, looking back at Lucifer as he suddenly grew a bit red.
"Y-Yeah, I mean… I knew you girls were busy doing your Alchemy stuff, so I decided to cook myself. I was never good at it but since I've been watching you cook that I've been… well, cooking for the people of the village! The children that always annoy me… sometimes they get hungry." Said Lucifer. "So I just… err, I just grill some meat and boil some stuff to make stew… N-Nothing special or something."
Lucifer seemed embarrassed, crossing his arms.
"Fufu~ I never thought you were such a diligent house husband!" I said, teasing him a bit.
"S-Stop it with that!" Lucifer said. "I am just trying to help. I also helped at digging the cave you wanted to plant those poisonous herbs, but why do you even need them?"
"We are making Black Potions." I said nonchalantly.
"Oh, I see- WHAT?!" Lucifer reacted as I imagined. "Why would you…?!"
"It is quite obvious now, but our stats are so high that their side effects are nothing to us. And as you hopefully remember from back then, we fought several Undead controlled by that beginner quest villain of the week Necromancer Vampire dude, he used the Black Potions to make his Undead Stronger." I said. "I've already used them all several months ago to make my first little army of Undead, whom very few remain from back then, and the ones we have found with Julia were all destroyed because we can't just grab them from her when she just wants to burn them and purify them…"
"I see…" Lucifer said. "So you're planning to make them so we can get some boost in battle? Certainly, if we had something like a buffing item in the Ant Queen fight, we could had performed better."
"Precisely because of that!" I said. "Also I've come with a few ideas with Emeraldine and Partner. Using the new Alchemy Skill I have, I can mass produce items out of just spending items, so I was thinking on improving upon the Black Potion recipe and make something even better, what do you say?" ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
"I say that's crazy, the Black Potion is too toxic, if people handle it they'll get intoxicated, Emeraldine included. I don't think the living armors can handle so much." Said Lucifer.
"And that's where you're wrong. Black Potions are processed Miasma, so they don't emanate the toxic aura. Unless digested they cannot really poison anybody." I said with a smile. "At most, irritate the skin."
"Okay…" Said Lucifer. "Fine… I am not this good at the Alchemy thing, so I hope you don't do anything too crazy."
"Don't worry everything is controlled around here sir!" I said, eating a spoonful of stew. The delicious meat was so tasty, and soft as well, the potatoes were well boiled and soft, slowly melting in my mouth, the carrots were sweet, and the onions and garlic mixed into the entire preparation made for a delicious broth with tomatoes included, turning it red. "Uwaah, this is good! Well done! You've got Cooking at Level 2 already?! I never thought you had this hidden talent!"
"Cooking at Level 2?" He asked, suddenly realizing that was the case by looking into his own Status through his mind. "Ah! It's true… Unbelievable."
"There's nothing unbelievable about it, you're just a good cook." Said Emeraldine.
"Yeah, you've gotten pretty good Lucifer!" Partner praised him.
"Ahahah… W-Well, thanks." Lucifer laughed nervously due to the praise he received.
What's this?!
Are all three of them getting along?
In fact the girls are praising him!
I still remember some months ago they were always discussing and fighting over nothing…
"Ah, I am back from my nap… Hm, did you cook this Maria?" Wondered Brunhild, sitting near the table with a sleepy face.
"Nope, that was made by your brother." I said.
"Eh? Lucifer you made this delicious food?! S-Since when were you this good at making little people's meals?" Asked Brunhild.
"W-Well, it is just for them! Don't get the wrong idea Brunhild…!" Said Lucifer, feeling embarrassed.
However, Brunhild nodded, looking back at me.
"You've tamed him well."
"But of course, fufu."
"Tamed?! Nobody has tamed me!"
