As the light faded, a new skill appeared before us.
"this?!"
Upon seeing the skill, Ye Gubai was overjoyed.
After learning and upgrading it, I checked its specific effects.
———
Ten Thousand Swords Return to One - Demon Sword Style
Special Skill - Level 9
Active skill: Within a radius of fifty meters, summon a magic sword to attack enemies at any designated location.
(Note: There is no limit to the number of demonic swords that can be summoned, but the more demonic swords you summon, the smaller each sword becomes and the lower its damage.)
Skill effect: The summoned demonic sword can be controlled by thought, and disappears as demonic energy after 9 seconds.
When the demonic sword hits any object, it will trigger a demonic energy explosion.
Explosion damage: Damage based on the attribute panel, currently 6240.
Skill Cooldown: None
———
"The skill has been upgraded to level 9. The damage remains unchanged, but the duration of the summoned magic sword has been increased to 9 seconds."
"From this perspective, the fusion of the two skills is not perfect."
Ye Gubai began to think, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the skill.
Before fusion, the Heavenly Punishment Sword was a high-damage ranged single-target attack.
After fusion, the new one loses its high damage bonus and is left with only basic attack.
However, when combined with the Golden Sky Explosion, it gains the effect of infinitely summoning the Demon Sword.
The number of summoned demonic swords affects the damage dealt by the attack.
In order to determine the exact amount of damage, Ye Gubai returned to Tianlong Academy via a teleportation array.
In the simulation test at the training ground, he generated an effect that tested his new skill on a wooden stake.
Ten Thousand Swords Return to One? Demon Sword Style!
With a thought, Ye Gubai began to summon the demonic sword.
The void above the wooden stake cracked open, and a sword of light radiating demonic energy appeared out of thin air.
Ye Gubai was somewhat surprised when he saw the image of the Demon Sword.
"Oh? The style of this summoned demonic sword is the same as the weapon I'm currently wielding?"
"Its length and size are also identical to General Thunder's knight's lightsaber..."
After a moment's thought, Ye Gubai continued with the testing.
Under the control of his mind, the demonic sword fell swiftly and pierced the wooden stake used for testing.
"Bang!"
The instant the demonic sword struck, a deafening explosion rang out, and a string of numbers appeared above the wooden stake!
-6240!
At the same time, it also triggered the weapon's lightning summoning effect.
An extra bolt of lightning was generated and struck the wooden stake.
However, the lightning wasn't the main point, and Ye Gubai didn't pay it any mind.
"Shanghai, where the Demon Sword exploded, seems a bit too low."
Looking at the damage dealt, Ye Gubai was not very satisfied.
He focused his mind again and began to summon a new demonic sword.
Unlike before, the number of summons has increased significantly this time.
The void shattered, and countless demonic swords flew out rapidly.
Upon closer inspection, there are over a hundred of them.
The flying blades were pitifully small.
It is roughly the same size as real chopsticks.
It felt like a whole lightsaber had been dismantled into a hundred pieces.
"Um, isn't this size a bit too small?" Ye Gubai said, both amused and exasperated. "Let's see how much damage it can do."
Under Ye Gubai's control, hundreds of shattered blades shot towards the wooden stake!
In an instant, the momentum was overwhelming!
The shards of blades that swept down blotted out the sky and completely enveloped and blocked the wooden stakes.
Then, a series of explosions rang out.
"Bang!~~~"
It exploded over a hundred times in a row, sending up clouds of smoke and dust.
Ye Gubai was able to see through the smoke and dust thanks to his new passive skill, Eye of Insight.
He also clearly captured the series of numbers on the wooden stake.
-62.4!
-62.4!
-62.4!
...
The damage was somewhat low, with each explosion only dealing 62.4 damage.
Adding up hundreds of questions, the total is 6240.
"Such pathetic damage?" Ye Gubai frowned. "So it seems the 100 summoned demonic swords were actually just the total damage divided into 100 parts..."
According to this calculation, the more demonic swords summoned, the lower the attack power.
It can be said that, apart from the grand scale and imposing momentum of the attack, this new skill has absolutely no practical significance in actual combat.
Even if it could trigger a heavenly lightning strike, it wouldn't make much difference.
Because of the special effect of the Heavenly Thunder Summoning, it can only be triggered once briefly on the same target.
Furthermore, in this test, the wooden stake's defensive capability was 0.
The amount of damage dealt depends entirely on the attacker.
Given that monsters nowadays easily have 4,000 to 5,000 defense, his new skill is completely useless.
Even if you only summon one magic sword to fall, it will only deal 6240 damage if it hits successfully.
After deducting defense, it deals around 1000+ damage.
At this stage, a monster's blood can easily reach tens of thousands or even 20,000.
With such high health, what's the point of dealing this little bit of damage?
Using this attack will actually slow down your map clearing speed, making it a losing proposition.
"I didn't expect it to be so weak. Its single-target damage is insufficient, and summoning more magic swords will reduce its attack damage."
Ye Gubai looked at his skill set: "I need to think of a way to solve this problem."
Currently, besides the fused skills, the only active skills he has left are Cero and the special skill Sword Control Technique.
Cero is a skill that sacrifices the user's own life to deal double the true damage to enemies.
Sword control is the ability to perform various maneuvers by controlling one's own sword.
"The flaws of the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to One' Demonic Sword Style are its damage and the duration of its blade."
"I wonder if the true attack of Cero can make up for the lack of damage."
"And what about sword control techniques? Could they extend the lifespan of the demonic sword?"
Ye Gubai could actually accept the idea of sacrificing Cero.
However, he had some reservations about sword control techniques.
After all, I'm very comfortable using the sword control technique. If the effect is not ideal after the sacrifice and fusion, it would be a huge loss.
———
Skills will become skill modules after being sacrificed and absorbed.
At this point, the module cannot be directly absorbed.
It needs to be integrated with another skill module to become a new skill and then relearned.
This can be understood as the newly formed skill module being incomplete, consisting of only half of the original.
It needs to be integrated with another skill to become a complete skill again for Ye Gubai to learn.
———
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your shoes, so let's get rid of him!"
Ye Gubai gritted his teeth and sacrificed his sword control technique and Cero.
The rest of the process was much simpler, under Ye Gubai's control.
Sword control and Cero were transformed into skill modules and subsequently integrated with new skills.
(To avoid anyone getting bogged down in this issue, I'm noting it again here.)
(The maximum number of times you can fuse and blend is three, which consumes a total of four skills ~ 1+1=2, 2+1=3, 3+1=4)
After completing three fusions, the new skill has reached its final form.
