Vd decided to gamble everything and bine several Skills reted to his body, perhaps as a way to get slightly stronger.
He erhaps, hoping for a ge—something that could help him.
[You have chosen the Skills: [Obsidian Bones (D): Lv1] [Ogre’s Muscles (C): Lv3] [Chimeric Body (A): Lv1] [Bat Transformation (C): Lv2] and [False Immortality (S): Lv3] to Fuse.]
[Do you wish to Fuse these Five Skills for 150.000 Credits?]
[Yes] [No]
150k was a lot, and he hesitated initially.
But after sidering everything else, he decided to just do it.
He pressed [Yes] without hesitating too much.
[You have exged 150.000 Credits.]
[Initiating Skill Fusion…]
FLASH!
Vd felt several parts of his own body’s strength unify as one.
Before, it was as if they were separate parts, chimeris, which he took and absorbed.
The Obsidian Bones of the Obsidiaon Monsters, the Ogre’s Muscles of the Orcs, the Chimeric Body of His Bloodlihe Bat Transformation of Vampires...
Despite all belonging to his body, they felt very much apart from one another, but ohe skills representing them verged as one.
Everything ged; threads of blood-colored energy ected them together and then slowly fused them; his body, whice felt separated, began to rapidly feel...
Whole.
“T-This is…?!”
His eyes widened as he felt a rush of pain across his body, of his bones beginning to crad heal back, of his muscles to tear apart and then recover, and of his blood veins to burst and then reect.
“Ugh…!”
He fell to his knees and tried to resist the pain. It came quickly, but it also faded away rather fast. And what remained was a sensation of tranquility aion.
“Hahhh… What was that?”
He looked at his own hands, feeling nothing had exactly ged.
Yet…
BA DUM!
His heart started beating faster, and faster, and faster.
His bloodstream began to rapidly let his blood flow through his head, heating it abnormally for a vampire.
He felt more alive than ever before, pared to other vampires.
Although vampires were often called undead, they were truly something iween a living being and an undead.
Their hearts beat only once a week, if anything, and their bloodstream was incredibly slow too, making their bodies cold as they couldn’t retai.
Their metabolism was slow, making them rather zy at times, but when they grew hungry, they would rapidly bee like rabid beasts.
Their incredible regeion was also because of their ability to accumute energy aheir bodies in a seemingly perpetual state of hibernation.
Because of this, they had very long lifespans, although they weren’t plete immortals, as they did age, but over thousands of years.
Heheir Skill [False Immortality] was called like that…
“Hahhh… Hahhh…”
And Vd right now felt like the plete opposite of vampires; his body had regais vitality and warmth, and his heart was beating rather quickly.
“T-This is strange… But I guess it’s his warmth.”
Slowly, his body cooled dow his heart was still beating faster than any vampire, yet still slower than any other living being.
There was a glimpse of warmth within him now, something that other vampires, who ehe cold, would find strange.
“Huh?”
FLASH!
And that wasn’t everything, as he noticed several crimson runes glowing across his body, overflowing with blood energy; they glowed brightly but then disappeared.
It felt like his Blood Energy could now be imbued into these ruo enhance his physical power even more.
It wasn’t a Physique yet, but it was the closest thing to it he could get with his crippled Meridians…
[“I have no idea what the hell you did… But you’ve mao enhance your body despite not being capable of obtaining a physique! Iing approach…”]
Even the Heavenly Demon had to admit that this was a bit crazy.
“Hahah… It was a risk worth taking.”
Vd smiled, his vampiric red eyes glowing brightly as they released a bit of his new powers. All of his senses felt enhanced even more, including his hearing sense, vision, touch, perception of his surroundings, and more.
Ding!
[gratutions! The Skill Fusioween the Skills: [Obsidian Bones (D): Lv1] [Ogre’s Muscles (C): Lv3] [Chimeric Body (A): Lv1] [Bat Transformation (C): Lv2] and [False Immortality (S): Lv3] has been a success!]
[You have created the Fusion Skill: [Blood Demon’s Immortal Chimera Body (SS): Lv1]!]
“Blood Demon?”
It was as if he had bee another Raow, even though it still said he was just a Dhampir in his Status. Usually the description of Skills would be simple enough for him to not o read them iail, but this Fusion Skill was clearly more plex, so he checked it.

The description was sure long pared to any other Skill he had, almost parable to the Traits or Fws of his character! However, Vd had to admit that he felt much better now.
“This is just what I wanted—aransformation that help me…” he smiled. “ht, it is also passively enhang my body too? I really hit the jackpot there… Should I risk fusing more Skills?”
Now that he had his body covered, he could perhaps aim for an offensive skill, but the thing is, it would be activation based, and if he creates something very strong, then it would drain all his Ara with just a couple uses.
“I’ll leave it at that for now,” he thought. “I’ll equip the other Skills I have now that I have more free space… If I ever , I might take a risk and fuse Skills in a battle or in another situation where I absolutely need something strong. For now, I’m good.”
Ding!
[You have equipped the Skills: [Bzing Soul (A): Lv1] [Dual Bzing Bde Arts (S): Lv1] [Bzing Doppelganger (A): Lv1]!]
FLASH!
“Ugh?!”
Although the st two Skills created no problems for him, he clearly felt a burniion within him when he equipped Bzing Soul. His soul, which was of a golden color, quickly gained a slightly e color, bzing like fmes; it seemed to grow stronger.
[Because of enhang the power of your Soul by equipping [Bzing Soul (A): Lv1], your Soul Ether has increased by +1.000!]
[Your Soul ow unleash {Soul Fmes} which easily target another foe’s souls and burn them, abs some of their power and weakening them.]
“Not bad…” Vd seemed satisfied for now. “Now that I am finally doh this…”
He still had the Skill Evolution Ticket that would apparently evolve a Skill and imbue it with the power of the Raid Bosses Souls; it had the potential to be amazing.
However, for now, he decided to think about which Skill he wao Evolve. He had sidered doing it with his fused skill right away, but that would end up being a waste, in his opinion, after some sideration.
“Hmm…”
After that, he looked at all his materials and assessed their information, qualities, and so on. He wao improve his armor and e, and perhaps even his accessories, while also making some new equipment for himself.
“These pre-made equipment pieces are really good, though, of good quality, but feel somewhat meical, like faade.” He thought. “If I could melt this sword and merge it with my Staff… or perhaps my armor? Hm, why not both?”
Then he moved to the earrings and the rings, which were fairly good as well, so he might equip them as they were.
However, what was most important to him were the materials from the raid bosses: the giant wolf and bat’s bones, fur, fangs, cws, and so on.
All of that could make some incredible equipment!
“If I really want to make a gun, I will need some internal meism that could shoot something at high levels of pressure, only with a click,” he thought. “Also gunpowder; I suppose this is where the Pyrocrystals ehe se. I have to process them without them blowing up on me first.”
His idea of making a gun or something simir to it had not been fotte, and Vd had just begun with his preparations for what was to e.
“I might take another day making what I am envisioning, upgrading my armor, then Chris equipment... But once all of that is over, I think we’ll beuch strohan I could have ever hoped.”
Like that, Vd spent the rest of the night, mostly four more hours, processing the Pyrocrystals into powder through Alchemy and also processing it into smaller ks and bining them with metals to create deadly, explosive bullets.
It was easy to do with the amazing cauldron of the Heavenly Demon, and now that his Soul had grown very strong, he could access more of the Heavenly Treasury, taking several of Murim’s uerials with him to experiment with.
However, after realizing it would get too te if he tinued w for more, he decided to quickly melt and dismahe heroic sword and bis pos through Synthesis and Bcksmith Skills into his armor and his staff.
He modified his staff to bee simir to a sword, with the metallic sti the middle, while the two bdes emerge from the left and right. It had a slightly rger form, though, making it heavier. However, with Float, it was easy to wield, even if it was too heavy anyway.
As for his armor, it now has a shiny golden color, and with a few jewels made of processed Pyro Crystal specifically made to boost magical powers and grant defensive magical abilities, even if it was hit in a battle, it wouldn’t explode.
He had also used the bones, fangs, and cws of the two monsters and small fragments of their crystalized beast cores, which, as he had read online, often appeared within monsters of high tiers.
“Phew… At least the armor’s fixing and upgrading is done!” he nodded. "Also, this aff-Sword is sure something weird I made... But it works for me.”
Although he had finished in just over an hour, Vd had once again made ridiculous pieces of equipment that no pyer in the game had made yet.
