Chapter 141: Ch-141 Optimized Skill Set

"Wow that was fun" William muttered with a wide smile on his face as he lied on the bed in his private room that he was given to him by the guild.

William had just come back from his meeting with the cleansers and a lot had happened and he had come to know a lot more about his party.

And to basically sum up the whole meeting the cleansers were going to stick around for a while longer instead of just being a one off party like originally planned.

As for the second thing they all needed to become much stronger than they currently were and the first step was obviously using his new skill.

**

"Phew that took a lot longer than expected" William complained to no one.

It had taken roughly 4 hours for William to merge all of his skills but at last he was done and it was now time to see the fruiits of his labor so he muttered.

"Not bad" William muttered.

Taking a look at his current status screen, William had to admit the effects of his [Skill Merger] were a lot better than he could have predicted.

His current status screen was a lot more organised and easier to understand compared to before, due to the effort he had spent properly organising everything.

And while his skills were less than before, almost all of them were of way higher quality compared to before.

By extension, just by utilising his [Skill Merger], he had become even more powerful than he already was.

The current William was definitely way above the level of most S-rank adventurers, but sadly, unlike the previous ranks where strength was the only important factor that decided one's rank, the same wasn't the case for S rank, as while it was still a major factor, the merits an adventurer had were just as important.

William had already skipped to the A rank thanks to Michael's interference, so if he wanted to become an S rank, he needed to devote himself to grinding missions to earn merit points.

But that was for later, and he currently needed to focus on his current new and improved skill set.

While using [Skill Merger], William had learned quite a few things.

First of all, to his dismay, he couldn't just fuse skills instantly, and it usually took anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes per skill, depending on how many skills he was merging and their compatibility.

This meant this skill couldn't be used in combat, but still, that was barely a negative compared to everything the skill offered.

But speaking of compatibility, the skill only allowed William to merge skills with a certain level of compatibility.

For example, all the mana-related skills he had merged to create [Ruler of Mana].

This new mana skill of his was the ultimate mana skill, second only to [Child of Mana], and it basically allowed him to do everything all his previous mana skills did but amplified multiple times and a whole lot more.

At this point, Mana was basically a part of himself.

Basically, like a heart, he couldn't even imagine living without it.

This, paired with [Child of Mana] and [Authority of Mana], basically made him unrivalled in terms of magic.

Maybe excluding Zephyr, but William was sure he could probably even compete with him in terms of mana control now compared to before, when he couldn't even dream about competing against Zephyr using mana.

Honestly, William still hadn't explored the full potential of this new skill, but he was extremely excited for all the new possibilities.

Honestly, just this one skill was a major power-up for him, but he was just getting started.

[Skill Merger] was usually pretty predictable, where it just combined the effects of multiple skills into one and enhanced them, other times it was unpredictable, such as when it created [Master of Shadows] by merging [One With Shadows] and [Shadow Step].

William figured since they were both shadow skills, they were probably pretty compatible, and he was right.

But unlike what he expected, the skill he got not only had the abilities of his previous two skills but also a completely new one that let him communicate with shadows and even create living entities out of shadows.

Meaning he could create summons out of shadows; however, these summons took too much mana to maintain, weren't that strong, were fragile, and didn't have any special abilities.

So William didn't intend on using this ability other than for some reconaisance.

However, another bonus effect was that it allowed him to create much more elaborate and intricate objects using shadows.

So William could definitely see this ability coming in handy in a lot of situations.

But enough about that. There were a few more skills he needed to look at before he could get to the thing he was most excited for, which was obviously using the natural treasures he had gained.
