Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 478 Making Wine And Reaching The Last Dungeon Floor!

"So you have such a skill?" Emeraldine quickly learned about it as I told her.
"Yeah but I have no idea if it might actually work." I said while rubbing my chin. "Any ideas?"
"Hm, perhaps it might work, but how about we experiment first?" She asked.
"How so?" I wondered.
"Here…"
Emeraldine quickly brought some juice I had for the children in a glass bottle.
"Try to create such bacteria first and then insert them into this juice, if it slowly turns into wine, then it might do its job. But we'll still need some time… Unless we have something that can accelerate this process." She said.
"Huh, I see… Well, technically I could."
"Eh?! Just how far do your powers go?"
"Well… Disease and Poison Creation allows for the creation of specific bacteria, viruses, and toxins. I barely use it because it is too dangerous most of the time, but I had just realized it could be used for alchemy and other things, and not be something completely harmful. I acquired it when I evolved into a Pandora." I said. "In fact one of my strongest Skills named [Pandora's Box] uses this skill as a pillar for the creation of its explosive attack."
"Interesting! How about you try out first? Maybe if you do it slowly and more detailed…" She said. "You could do something!"
"Yeah, let me try."
I sat down and closed my eyes, concentrating myself. The few times I have used this Skill it was only to just "bring disease and poison" and nothing else on mind. Therefore, I only created poisonous fog and horrible bacteria and viruses…
But now I want to make wine so… How do I figure this out? Just with my own intent?
Err…
I thought about delicious wine all the time, until suddenly, an almost transparent gas leaked out of my hands, flying into the juice in front of me and sinking into it. For a moment, it felt like nothing really happened, but suddenly, as I infused Mana into it, the juice began to slowly change, bubbles began to appear as its color turned darker. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ
The smell of alcohol began to come out of it, and I couldn't help but feel the most shocked as well. I looked at it with astonishment clear in my eyes.
"I-I think it might had worked!" I said happily.
"Let's try it!" Emeraldine quickly took a cup and drank the wine, which juice was apple.
"Hm? Ah… It tastes a bit… like apple cider?" She wondered. "Wow, this is fine as it is, though it might need a bit more aging."
"Ahh… I did it! I made wine! Holy shit I am literally Jesus now!" I laughed.
"Je… sas?" Asked Emeraldine, without knowing about the legendary wine maker of my world.
"But I might need more practice, for now I don't want to compromise those herbs so we'll leave it at that." I said, quickly bringing the apple cider to the breakfast table, Lucifer and Partner tried it out and said it was pretty alright. Meanwhile, Laura and Takeshi wanted to drink but I prohibited it with all my soul. Children shouldn't drink alcohol!
"Uuugh, but we want apple juice!" Said Takeshi angrily.
"No is no, Takeshi, maybe when you grow up." I said as I reprimanded him.
"Geehh…" Takeshi said while taking his tongue out, he was really childish sometimes. Well, he was a child.
"Hahah… Dear just eat your breakfast, it is tasty." I said.
"Okaaay…" Takeshi said. "But when I grow up I want to drink wine with mama…"
"Sure… Fine." I said.
"Well I had already drank wine in my previous life… It is nothing that special." Laura said. "I didn't really liked the bitter flavor. It was just the worse thing to ever exists."
"Huh, well, I guess that's that…" I said with a nod. I could understand how she felt, when I drank alcohol for the first time I also felt it was fucking disgusting, but I just got used to it. This is also another reason why I prefer wine that is very sweet.
When things finished, we found ourselves standing in front of the cave that led underground towards the floor 3 of this dungeon. It seemed that the third floor was completely underground, so it was going to be a big cave which probably will be like a damn maze. Thankfully, I had the amazing Automatic Mapping Skill with me to do all of this.
"Onwards!" I said, leading my companions as we moved forwards without stopping. Lucifer transformed into a giant dragon form and led us underground, flying across the cave sections at a fast speed by rapidly flapping his enormous wings, in a matter of seconds we found ourselves inside a beautiful cave with many colorful crystals growing everywhere, enormous mushrooms, herbs I had never seen before, and ores growing in the walls and ceiling.
"Incredible, this place has so many resources!" Said Emeraldine.
"We hit a gold mine of stuff!" Lucifer said.
"Yeah, but we've got company already!" Partner said, as Lucifer quickly landed over the floor, letting us jump out of his body.
In front of us, an enormous swarm of over a hundred ants rushed towards us without stopping. It seems that they were waiting for us for a long while now! How come, did they wanted to offer a welcome party so badly? I guess I'll have to take all of this EXP for myself out of their hands.
"Careful, there are some humanoids in there, Maria!" Lucifer said, readying himself for battle as I noticed five General Ants mixed in between the Hundred Workers. They were walking slowly and like humanoids, and not only that, but they were wielding magic weapons imbued with miasma, Cursed Weapons!
"These bastards are really not saving on resources to make stuff like that. I can see they had been using the ores and crystals growing here! It is a pity for them I'll be taking this entire Dungeon for myself. We have to somehow earn enough funds to kickstart our new guild after all! We can't let Helga and the other dwarves down!" I laughed, unleashing my darkness.
