Chapter 233: Sixty-Second Floor, Chamber of Agony (1)
I should be able to fuse lightning into Master of Shadows.
The thought had crossed my mind long ago.
When I had first acquired the Master of Shadows skill, I had obsessively pursued greater strength, experimenting with every possible skill and technique combination. Naturally, I had tried merging my two most powerful skills.
And I failed.
Whether it had been due to the skills’ low levels or an inherent incompatibility, I couldn’t say. Every so often, after they had leveled up a couple of times, I would attempt the fusion again, only to be met with repeated failures.
Eventually, I had abandoned the idea entirely.
It had partly been out of frustration. Besides that, my focus had shifted toward refining my axemanship.
Yet at some point, a turning point had occurred.
When I consumed the Rebirth Elixir, my physical-related skills had fused seamlessly into me. Among them was Lightning Essence, allowing me to channel electricity through my mana at will.
In the time since then, the Master of Shadows skill had improved dramatically as well.
Am I an idiot?
I should have revisited this fusion attempt long ago, yet somehow, I had completely overlooked it. Even during the previous, when I had been pushed to my limits and relied almost entirely on Master of Shadows, it hadn’t even occurred to me to try.
