Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 1125: Fusing Skills



"Hmm, everything we know about the King of the Depths is quite limited," said the King of Aquarose. "But we do know that he was a powerful entity that lived in the depths of the seas, even before we arrived here."

"Although our ancestors faced little resistance, when he learned about us after years, he immediately came to destroy us," said the Queen.

"We believe that... our ancestors finding this sea too peaceful wasn't just good luck, this entity, this king of the depths, had simply wiped out any civilization in the seas before we arrived, hence why it was so peaceful, and why there was only just nature here..." The King commented.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Powerful enough to just wipe out any civilization underwater?" I wondered. "Huh, Lucifer, do you know of anything like that? You're the oldest around here."

"You're calling me old man?!" Lucifer complained. "But yes, I do know, or well, I've heard of some ancient underwater civilizations from the past. The Water Dragons for example, all of them inhabited the sea or large bodies of water such as massive lakes, their primordial dragon mother was Ran. The Ocean Titans too, whose Primordial father was Oceanus, they both inhabited the entire oceans, or so I've heard in the old stories."

"Perhaps that big, ugly monster ate them all!" said Nyx.

"Maybe... if that were the case I don't know if we could be able to handle such a ridiculously powerful being, so unlikely," said Lucifer. "They were probably vanquished by the new Gods led by Odin."

"But where the hell did a monster like this came from then?" I wondered. "Well, we'll see what it is once we go beat his ass."

"Well said! Cheers for that!" the King laughed cheerfully.

The dinner ended after a lot of talking and eating, and we moved to rest for the rest of the night, well, not exactly for me, there were a few things I wanted to do right now.

Checking my available items and see what I could use, for example, I've been itching to fuse some Skills too, I have the feeling this sealed monstrosity might be stronger than I imagine. Here are all my riches:

[Heavenly Demon Venerable Themed Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)] x1

[Random Privilege Marble (SS Grade)] x2

[Divine Skill Evolution Ticket (SS Grade)] x2

[Privilege Fusion Marble (SS Grade)] x1

[Divine Privilege Evolution Marble (SS Grade)] x1

[Abyssal Sea Monster Themed Treasure Chest (SS Grade)] x1

[Divine Skill Evolution Ticket: Deep Sea Monsters Soul Fragments (SS Grade)] x1

[Soul Restoration Elixir (SS Grade)] x6

[Azure Sea Essence Elixir (SS Grade)] x6

[Divine Undead Summon Scroll (SS Grade)] x1

[Aquarose Kingdom Mermen Themed Skill Grimoire (SS Grade)] x1

[Aquarose Mermen Kingdom Themed Treasure Chest (SS Grade)] x1

Yes, yes, that's way too many useful things.

Skill Tickets, Grimoires, Privilege stuff, and also Skill Fusion thingies.

Before anything, I suppose the most decent thing to do right now is drinking the Elixirs, right?

Yep, let's get to that first.

[You have consumed the [Soul Restoration Elixir (SS Grade)] x6 and [Azure Sea Essence Elixir (SS Grade)] x6!]

[You have consumed and absorbed a large quantity of Soul Essence and Azure Sea Essence!]

[Your Aether Stat has increased by +600.000!]

[Your Divinity Stat has increased by +300.000!]

[All Ocean and Sea-type Skills have gained 2 Levels!]

Nice, I feel a bit stronger, my Soul got a good boost, more Aether and Divinity is never bad.

Now, onto the other things.

And by other things I mean using the Fusion Ticket right away!

What Skills do I pick? There's so many possibilities...

Should I pick useless or not too strong Skills again like I did last time?

Or perhaps choose something insane now, well, the previous one was also insane but...

Hmmm, okay, let's see.

I checked my own Status and saw all available skills, there was a lot of skills, too many.

I can choose up to six skills, so that's still a lot!

It shouldn't be so hard, let's pick all the skills that have become mostly outclassed, or that I don't use as much anymore, but that were strong on their time.

Hmm...

...

...

...

Okay, done, let's do this.

I got a good idea now, and it would fit well the ticket's effects as well.

Ding!

[You have used the [Heavenly Demon Venerable Themed Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)]!]

[You have selected the following Skills for Skill Fusion using the Ticket: [Nightmarish Abyssal Soul Shattering Blade Arts: Lv8] [Barbaric Dark Axe Arts: Lv10] [Demonic Ghostly Fist Technique: Lv10] [Piercing Spear Attack: Lv10] [Phantom Moon Shadow Kicking Technique: Lv9] [Magic Archery Techniques: Lv10]!]

[Initiating Skill Fusion!]

FLAAASH!

Six spheres emerged from my soul, fusing with the ticket. To not make a ruckus, I was doing all of this inside of my Shadow Realm, the only thing around were the Undead.

The ticket turned into particles of light and fused with all the spheres, my skills, which also combined together into something even larger.

RUMBLE!

"T-This is...?!"

The entire Shadow Realm trembled?! How is that even possible!

I was flabbergasted, but I sat down and calmed myself as I watched the enormous power flowing towards my soul.

I happily absorbed it into my soul, receiving its full power entirely, the tremendous and overwhelming emotion I felt.

Suddenly, an enlightenment of sorts, a flash of bright light that illuminated my mind.

I combined all my fighting and weapon-related skills into something that would combine them all into an ultimate fighting technique.

I would have done this later when I could fuse more skills using my skill Forge, but the ticket, with a max of 6 Skills, as ideal!

For a moment, my very soul transformed into something different.

A powerful presence, an almighty being, a multi-armed demon of war and bloodshed.

And it was awesome.

Ding!

[The Skill Fusion has been a success!]

[You have created the Fusin Skill: [Heavenly Nightmare Demon Venerable Abyssal Ghost

Asura Battle Arts: Lv1/20]!]

An interesting name, and I already want to test it so badly...
