Chapter 993: Skill Fusion
-----
The Heroic Legendary Sword Arts Skill was upgraded, gaining two new levels. It didn't evolve or something yet, it had yet to reach max Level.
[Congratulations! The [Heroic Legendary Sword Arts: Lv5] Skill has successfully absorbed the [Skill Book: Basic Swordsmanship (B Grade)] and the [Skill Book: Paladin Techniques (A Grade)] Skill Books!]
[The [Heroic Legendary Sword Arts: Lv5] has gained 2 Levels and has inherited several new Techniques from the Skill Books themselves.]
-----
[Heroic Legendary Sword Arts: Lv7]
A Unique Skill that every Hero that has slain a Demon King before had. It grants the ability to gain a Legendary, Divine, or Mythic Sword's Trust, easily becoming their wielders naturally. These mystical arts can bring forth the true strength of the Sword being wielded, and naturally allow the user to learn the intricacies of sword-wielding.
Additionally, grants the ability to unleash the power of the {Heroic Sword Aura}, which while wielding a Sword, increases All Stats by +210%, Damage Dealt Increase by +95%, and Damage Taken Decreases by -75% for 35 Minutes. Can be Activated Thrice a Day.
New Arts will be unlocked with each Skill Level. This Skill cannot Level Up through Skill Points and will only gain Skill Proficiency through repeated usage of swords and sword arts.
Available Sword Arts:
Level 1: [Divine Sword Slash] [Heroic Parry] [Exorcizing Holy Blade]
Level 2: [Heroic Swordsmanship's Footwork] [Holy Ascent] [Paladin's Reinforcement]
Level 3: [Demon Killing Blade] [Celestial Slash] [Armor of Holy Light]
Level 4: [Holy Blade Dance] [Consecutive Dashing Strikes] [Howl of the Mighty]
Level 5: [Strong Holy Blow] [Divine Execution]
Level 6: [Star Fall] [Light Arrows]
Level 7: [Holy Pinnacle] [Divine Spear]
-----
However, it gained a lot. Its basic buff became even better, with a boost to all stats, damage, and damage reduction. And the new techniques all looked even stronger than the previous ones. Star Fall, Light Arrows, Holy Pinnacle, Divine Spear. They had rather simple names, but they probably held a lot of power. I'll be using them pretty soon.
Lastly, the new techniques inherited from the skill books themselves were Paladin's Reinforcement, Armor of Holy Light, and Howl of the Mighty. I think the first one is a boost to physical strength, the second an armor of light to protect from some magic and physical damage, and then last one is an "aggro" skill, which brings the attention of foes towards myself.
Overall, they all got their uses, so I am satisfied with that!
Now, onto the last thing I need to do before we get there, the Skill Fusion itself. I've already thought about which Skills I'll be fusing.
Aside from the Divine Beast Skills, I'll pick two other Skills I have, and see what I get. It can't be worse than their original counterparts, at the very least.
So let's do it!
I entered the Skill Forge and quickly placed all the Skills I wanted to combine together. They floated like spheres of essence and power. The rainbow flames of the skill forge burned them, as I smashed them together with the hammer, also available in that strange pocket dimension.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
FLUOSH!
CLANK! CLANK!
FLUOSH!
CLANK!
As always, it was all about doing the rhythm game properly. After having done it more than a couple of times, I've grown accustomed to the movements and also all the patterns. The skills came together beautifully, becoming a much larger sphere that shone with green, gold, blue, yellow, and red color.
FLAAASH!
Ding!
[You have exchanged 300 Skill Points.]
[Congratulations! You have successfully combined the Skills: [Draconification: Lv4] [Divine Lightning Horn: Lv100/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] [Black Vines of Steel: Lv100/100 (Divine Beast Skill)], and [Freezing Touch: Lv-- (Divine Dish Skill)]!]
[You have created the Fusion Skill: [Heavenly Yggdragon Queen Of The Three Colored Crown Transformation: Lv1/40 (Fused Skill)]!]
[Super Success!]
[The Fused Skill has gained a Bonus of 15 Levels!]
Yeah, I merged those Skills together.
And the resulting Skill's name was, as I expected, rather crazy.
However, I kept myself calm as I looked at the Skill's lengthy description.
First of all though, it seems it didn't count as a Divine Beast Skill anymore, unfortunately.
Or fortunately? We'll have to see.
-----
[Heavenly Yggdragon Queen Of The Three Colored Crown Transformation: Lv15/40 (Fused Skill)]
A Fusion Skill made by the combination of the [Draconification], [Divine Lightning Horn (Divine Beast Skill)], [Black Vines of Steel (Divine Beast Skill)], and [Freezing Touch (Divine Dish Skill)] Skills.
You have reached a deeper understanding and manipulation of your powers as the Yggdragon. Through the combination of your abilities and magic powers, channel the draconic might within it to partially transform your body into one of the many forms the Yggdragon could take, become the Queen of the Three Colored Crown. When transformed, Mana and Spiritual Energy is drained constantly.
Channel your powers and transform, your body and shape will take upon the appearance of the Queen of the Three Colored Crown, giving you access to the Abilities: [Heavenly Yggdragon Queen's Three Colored Scale Armor], [Heavenly Yggdragon Queen's Three Colored Divine Claws], [Heavenly Yggdragon Queen's Three Colored Holy Spear Tail], [Heavenly Yggdragon Queen's Three Colored Mystical Eyes], [Heavenly Yggdragon Queen's Three Colored Thunder Horns] and [Heavenly Yggdragon Queen's Three Colored Vines Of Orichalcum].
Once you undergo transformation, All Stats, Physical Attack Power, and Magic Attack Power, increase by +600%. Your Physical and Magical Defense will also increase based on 950% of your VIT Stat. And the power of your {Divine Heavenly Yggdragon Queen's Three Colored Flames} will grow in power by +1000%.
When you transform, a crown made of the crystallization of your magic, spirit, and divine powers will materialize above your head. You can freely switch the crown's color from Green, Blue, and Yellow, each color possessing their own special effects and abilities.
{Green Crown Of Nature}: Summon the Wrath of Nature at will, controlling Divine Yggdrasil Spears, Divine Stone Fists, and Divine Leaf Blades to deal close and long-distance damage to your foes, dealing Damage equal to 900% of your WIS Stat. You can drain 30% of the damage dealt as HP.
{Yellow Crown of Thunder}: Unleash Lightning Bolt Attacks from a long distance to your foes, dealing Damage equal to 900% of your INT Stat. These Lightning Bolt Attacks can ignore 60% of the foe's Elemental Defenses and Magical Defenses, and pierce through Physical Armor.
{Blue Crown of Frost}: Channel the Coldness of Frost, summoning Winter Dragon's Storm, Skadi's Frost Hammer, and Frozen Claws of Niflheim to deal close and long-distance damage to your foes, dealing Damage equal to 900% of your STR Stat. You can drain 10% of the damage dealt as MP.
It is also possible to combine all colors together into a single and powerful effect by spending a large quantity of Mana and Spirit Energy, which will further amplify all combined effects by +650% for 25 Minutes. Cooldown: 10 Hours.
Additionally, new Draconic Techniques will be unlocked every 10 Levels.
Level 10: [Divine Three-Colored Orichalcum Scales] [Heavenly Yggdragon's Almighty Divine Aura] [Explosive Elemental Claws] [Fierce Draconic Eyes Of Magic Disruption]
Level 20: ???

Oh, this is incredible.
And it retains all the effects of the previous Skills, but combined into something even greater, even better.
And the best is that its energy cost is still rather low compared to everything else, just like Draconification was!
I've gotten myself a new "base form", it seems.
And just in time, as we were already reaching our destination.
The Last Scenario was about to begin.
