Reborn As A Tentacle Monster - Chapter 18 Skill Forge

I realized that there weren’t any specific instructions on how to delete, fuse, and construct new skills.

“Althera what are the rules of skill forge aside from the options given?” I swipe at my skill charts and start to formulate which skills were a perfect and deadly combo for fusion.

[Rules of Skill Forge]

>>If you chose to delete[X] a skill than that skill won’t exist any longer and you won’t be able to learn the skill again. (The perks of deleting a skill is to make more room for your skill stats: There is a max capacity of 20 skills you can hold. Right now you have 17 skills active.)

>>If you chose [+] fuse then you will be able to combine two skills, however, some fusions will not bond entirely. Choose wisely. You can choose as much as 5×2 skills to combine[5 fusions total: 10 skills fused].

>>If you chose [<^>] to create and forge a skill then you will have to use 50% of your mana and force to construct two skills

[Caution!]

[- 50% 14 mana 14 force= 28-50%[ You don’t have enough mana or force to create two skills] When creating a skill you put your body and aura at great risk. Without a proper understanding of the numerical values displayed you will suffer greatly.]

The creation aspects of skill forge sure sound like fun. You know, let’s create something and die at it. Most idiots would dive in at the thought of making anything you want like a God. I am not like that. I don’t get high off power and cultivation. I just want to survive and keep my vision.

Though I will say that creating a skill entirely of my own mana is badass. I would be like an alchemist or engineer crafting powerful magical attacks that will slay any beast in my way. As good as creation sounds right about now, I am low on mana and force energy. To reach one creation I would have to kill and devour more lifeforms. I didn’t see any around at the moment. I take a glance at my skill stats and start to forge.

First, let’s begin with fusion.

===========================================

I already know which skills to level up. I press on the tiers of the skills I wanted to change^. I could feel my energy and aura rising. Overwhelming power flowed throughout my veins. It was like I had been at the gym lifting weights every day for a year! Raw Cultivation at its peak. The surging power after fusing made my scales glow and turn to a blackish shadow shade. I am ready to fight off anyone! Come on! Bring it on! I am feeling so pumped up right about now. It looks like when I fuse skills, the skills that are combined are deleted or cancel out into one skill. This means I didn’t need to delete any skills as of now. I have 6 more skill slots available. Once I reach 20 skills than I will delete two skills or fuse them if I can. Skill Forge is an excellent discovery and so is fusion. I wonder if my combinations fused correctly? There’s only one way to find out.

My tentacle arms rattle around with force. The yetis blood scent is close. I once again follow my GPS configurated inside my vision by my mindscape. I traced the translucent arrows of my tracker and stop upon a large crater the size of a football field. The scent clearly leads to a dead end. Well, that’s a big hole. I look up above the crater and see another rocky carter on the ceiling of the cave tunnel. A formation of glowing mana crystals, lava magma stones, and ice spears was scattered around the outer edges of both the upper and lower carter. Whatever created this is a giant or a titan beast, it wasn’t me when I used Neuron bomb. The carters had too much of a perfect circumference which could not be formed from an explosion. The scent of the yetis blood is way stronger above me than below. If I were to follow the scent trail then I would have to climb 50 meters upwards the carter on the ceiling, which is impossible I would be exhausted and fall to my death before I even get up to 20 meters.

Unless I was Spiderman or any spider creature than I was fucked out of luck. My body weight was too high and my tentacles muscles were too heavy. The only way up there was if I could fly. Which is also impossible. I mean has anyone seen an octopus fly? Well, they do glide and swim underwater by using jet propulsion that makes them rocket across the sea reefs like a boss. They do this by filling their muscular mantle cavity with ocean water and then they quickly expel the water of their siphon beak to make them jet forward as they kick back their tentacles for an extra boost. If somehow I can do this then I will be able to reach the top carter. But how? I am only a huge 12ft titan eyeball with no beak or mouth to siphon out the air surrounding me. If I was in water than I would have a better chance to ascend to the top carter.

There is only one way up.
