Chapter 51: Merging Skills

Evan was unaware that someone tried to search for him because of his shadow energy but wasn't able to find him.

Evan was currently sitting on the bed while holding the C rank core, he only absorbed one-fourth energy of the core before his prime core advanced to D rank so there was still 3/4 of energy remaining in the core.

"Let's absorb it using monarch core" Evan muttered and popped the core inside his mouth.

Now that his prime core also advances to D rank just like his monarch core he can focus on his monarch core without worrying about destroying his prime core.

Just as the core touched Evan's tongue the core started to melt and turned into energy, his monarch core started to rotate and the energy of the C rank core rushed towards it.

When the energy arrived near his monarch core it sucked all the energy of the core like a black hole.

Unlike his prime core which took around fifteen minutes to absorb little energy of the C rank core, his monarch core absorbed all the energy in just ten seconds, and Evan can't help but sigh when he felt his monarch core barely advance after absorbing the 3/4 energy of a C rank core.

But before he can think of anything else a notification appeared before him.

[You have received dimensional shadow needles skill]

"Huh?" Evan was taken aback when he saw the notification but quickly understood that the three percent chance of getting a skill triggered when he absorbed that C rank core.

"Hahaha" Evan burst into laughter and said, "Looks like the lady of luck fall in love with me after seeing my handsome face, first my prime core mutated and now I also got a skill".

Evan quickly looked at the details of the skill, although from the name he can already guess it is the skill that the wolf used during their fight when many needles attacked him from the shadow.

---) Dimensional Shadow Needles :- You can use all shadows within ten meters of your range as a medium to shoot upto ten needles at a time.

Evan read the details of the skill and his eyes shined because this skill was perfect for a surprise and a sneak attack.

Evan looked around the room and after seeing the shadow of the mirror he extended his hand and used his new skill.

Just as Evan activated his skill Evan felt a connection with the shadow of the mirror, and the next second ten sharp needles which were three centimeters in length shot towards the ceiling of the room from the shadow of the mirror.

Before the needles hit the ceiling of the room Evan quickly canceled his skill and all needles disappeared just before hitting the ceiling. There is no way Evan will damage the ceiling of the hotel room, he doesn't want to pay extra money for the damage.

Just as Evan canceled his skill his eyes opened wide because more notifications appeared before him.

(Shadow bullet and dimensional shadow needles skills are compatible with each other)

(Do you want to merge both skills into one?"

[Yes/No]

"What the hell is going on?" Evan was dumbfounded when he saw the notifications in front of him because it was the first time he heard that someone can merge their skill.

"Is it also the effect of my monarch core?" Evan wondered but he quickly stop thinking about useless things and without hesitation pressed yes.

Just as Evan pressed yes he felt his monarch core start to spin faster, and the next second Evan was shocked when his monarch core started to suck his mana and In just five seconds it absorbed thirty percent of his total mana.

The monarch core continue to absorb his mana for ten more seconds and when he only had thirty percent mana left it finally stopped absorbing his mana.

Just as monarch core stopped absorbing mana more notifications appeared before him.

(Skills shadow bullet and dimensional shadow needles are being merged...)

(successfully merged both skills)

(You have received skill dimensional shadow bullets)

---)Dimensional Shadow Bullets :- You can use all shadows within twenty meters of your range as a medium to shoot upto five shadow bullets at a time. The power of shadow bullets depends on the mana you used in creating them. There is a 5% chance that the defender will become blind for three seconds after being hit by shadow bullets.

"Pfff Hahahaha" Evan tried to hold back his laughter but in the end once again burst into laughter, "today is truly my lucky day good things are happening with me one after another"

Evan was very happy with the new skill that he received after merging both shadow bullet and dimensional shadow needles.

Evan looked at the shadow of the mirror once again and tried his skill. He once again felt a connection with the shadow of the mirror and suddenly five dark bullets shot out from the shadow towards the ceiling.

Evan once again canceled the skill before the bullets hit the ceiling and nodded his head.

The range of the skill increased to twenty meters from the earlier ten meters and now he can shoot shadow bullets instead of needles using shadows around him.

Not only that now the effect of the blindness will last for three seconds instead of the previous two seconds if the effect of the shadow bullet is activated.

"It will be a lot easier for me to hunt down high-rank monsters from now on" Evan muttered while thinking about the scene where he just snapped his fingers and suddenly shadow bullets shot out from the shadow of the monster killing it even before it can react.

Just thinking about this scene made his blood boil.

"So what if I can't turn monsters into a meat paste with just a single punch, now I can kill them with just a snap of my finger" Evan said while nodding his head.

    Something that has bothered me from the start is that there seems to be no simple core swapping between people to get cores with their own elements.

    After all it's 40% more effective to use a core with compatible element for everyone, so it seems like such a simple thing to do for efficiency and resource maximization.

    The MC here should have used the rest of that C core on his main core since the other can get 100% no matter the element.
    Yeah yeah I get they want to give the skill, but get real. Practically no difference between 3 an 2 percent odds so just give it to him FFS 🙄.

      Should it not be around 70% more effective because they can normally only use 30% and if the affinity is right they can get 50%. On top of that it is based on the skill you have(but what if you got multiple?)

      I assume there should be a market for cores because he can sell them so why can't he buy them... He should get a lot of money then buy cores of monsters that give him a chance to gain good skills. Even F rank cores can give decent skills but he does not even try.

      He should also only use shadow cores on his main core because a chance to get a skill is better then 0 and use the rest on his monarch core.

      He should start buying tons of F rank cores of monsters that give stuff like regeneration and go on. Every bit helps but he does not abuse the fact he can learn skills. Minor strength buff. Better eyesight and go on. They are never useless because they merge together to become stronger skills instead of becoming obsolete anyway. Hey this also ups his affinity so he can get 50% of multiple types of cores as well.
