Chapter 215: Dual Element SSS+ Skill

"Light Bringer... The Mother must favour me, if she has allowed me to experience such a thing."

Nyphara sat up on the bed, still naked and covered in her own nectar.

Her vine hair was messy, and her words were still stuttered as she tried to get her breath back.

Kalon stood up and admired the woman’s beautiful state. He had also reached stage 5 seduction with her, which was glorious progression.

"I’m sure she has," Kalon responded. "You should go and clean yourself up. As much as the nectar looks beautiful on you, we’ve made quite a mess."

Nyphara looked down at her naked body and smiled. Afterwards, she looked at Kalon with raised brows.

"You are quite a mess yourself at the moment. Will you not join me in the bath?" she asked.

She was right. Kalon was covered in the sweet stickiness. However, he wished to return to Earth now.

He explained this to her, and the woman nodded her head in acceptance.

Afterwards, he said his goodbyes and returned.

...

Once back on Earth, Kalon wasted no time cleaning before heading to the rooftop of his high-rise apartment.

The night sky was above him, and a cold wind blew against his skin, making him feel relaxed.

Afterwards, he focused on the new reward he had been given by the Space Seducer System.

The Skill Merger [I].

Now that he was back on Earth, he was given an exact description of what it did.

It was an extension to his system that allowed him to merge two skills together. The two skills merged together would result in a skill of the sub-tier above, and would have a combined element of the two previous skills. At the merger’s current level, you could only merge one skill per day, however that skill could be used throughout the day with a varied cooldown.

So this means at a later point in time, the Skill Merger will allow me to merge more than two skills together, making an even stronger skill?

Suddenly, Kalon realised something.

He currently had multiple SSS+ rank active skills that could be merged together. According to Skill Merger, it would create a skill of the rank above...

But Kalon’s current rank was only able to recognise skills of SSS+ rank, and that wasn’t supposed to change until he reached Diamond.

...

Was this a way to bypass the system’s restrictions, or would it lead to a dangerous outcome?

Kalon questioned the system, and it gave him a response.

[The result of such a scenario would lead to a skill that you cannot understand or control. However, the skills would be successfully merged, and you would still be able to use the created skill.]

Because of this response, Kalon decided to avoid trying it until it was absolutely necessary.

Instead, he decided to merge two SSS rank skills to create his first dual-element SSS+ rank skill.

The skills that he chose were Ninefold Sunbreaker and Crown of Heaven.

His decision was simple. His other skills like Shard of Itztla and Eternal Winter would be easily recognisable to the public, and therefore potentially dangerous to them. As for Astral Counter, that required a partner to truly test out its capabilities.

There would be time in the future for him to try out more variations. For now, he went for fire and light.

Kalon locked both into the Skill Merger and confirmed the process.

The system responded at once.

[Merging...]

[Ninefold Sunbreaker + Crown of Heaven]

[...]

[Merge Complete]

The process took a total of ten seconds, and once it was done, Kalon’s system notified him in the same way that it would when receiving a new skill from a quest.

「(SSS+) Solar Throne」

~ Type: Fire / Light

~ Cooldown: 45 seconds

~ Creates a crown of nine radiant suns around the user.

~ Each sun carries both destructive fire and purifying light.

~ Suns can be launched individually or combined into a single concentrated solar spear.

~ Residual light from each impact weakens enemy resistance to follow-up fire and light skills.

~ Upon 100% Mastery, skill upgrades to [REDACTED]

Kalon read the description twice, then stepped into the open centre of the rooftop.

A smile spread across his face. The result was what he had expected, but he was proud of it.

It gave him a way to appear even more glamorous in public fights, especially since merged-element skills had not yet been discovered by the world.

...

He activated Solar Throne.

Nine suns formed around him in a slow rotating ring. They were denser than the old Ninefold spheres, and brighter too. Each one burned with a white-gold core instead of plain orange flame. Heat pressed outward across the rooftop, and thin threads of radiance linked the suns together like a living crown.

The night air changed immediately.

Clouds near the building edge caught the light and lit up from underneath. Anyone looking up from the street would have seen a false dawn forming over one high-rise alone.

Kalon raised his hand and launched a single sun across the empty air above the rooftop.

It crossed the distance in a hard straight line, then detonated in a burst of fire wrapped in pure light. The shockwave rolled over him with both heat and radiance at once. Residual light lingered in the air afterward, exactly as the description had promised.

He pulled two more suns together next.

They merged into a thicker spear of white-gold force and shot upward. The explosion that followed was more violent than either original skill would have managed alone. For a second the whole rooftop was lit like midday.

Kalon dismissed the remaining suns before the display could draw real attention.

The passive heat faded from his skin. Solar Throne settled into his system as a completed merged skill, ready for use again after cooldown for the next twenty-four hours.

A dual-element SSS+ skill, created in one night from two skills he already owned.

Kalon stood under the darkening sky and exhaled once.

This changed his ceiling again.
