Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

[ Elemental Resistance Lv5: Adapt to any climate or elements with this skill that regulates body temperature and enhances environmental awareness. Gain immunity to extreme temperatures and improved stamina during weather-related challenges. ]

”Elemental Resistance?” Shane nodded with a smile after reading the new skill. He didn’t consider that such a skill would actually appear by fusing those two skills.

He just wanted to try to get rid of his Controlled Body Heating since he wasn’t using it anyway. The cold areas were probably in a different region, and it wasn’t too useful so far.

On the other hand, his Weather Sense may have been really helpful during his journey, but it wasn’t that critical in his opinion. With these two ’useless’ abilities, he would be happy to obtain any other skills.

Shane’s Skill Fusion Spree continued.

As he activated his next Talisman, he received the familiar message.

[ Select the Survivor Skills you wish to fuse… ]

Shane then selected the Firearm Mastery, Axe Mastery, Weapon Master, and Archery…

They were all weapon-type Survivor Skills, so he felt that there would be a huge change for this to be successful.

[ Are you sure you want to fuse these skills? ]

”Yes…”

[ Skill Fusion in progress. ]

[ Skill Fusion failed. ]

Crash~

The Talisman in Shane’s hands was suddenly destroyed into many pieces before disappearing in his sight.

”This…” Shane wryly smiled as he was indeed a bit too greedy. He shouldn’t have fused four Skills even if they were all related to each other.

In any case, even though he wasted one Skill Fusion Talisman, he at least learned that it was really impossible for 4 Skill Fusion.

Well, it might not be possible for this current Talisman to be in his possession, but there might be a better version of it like the ones in the two previous Apocalypses he had cleared.

In any case, he still has 6 Fusion Talismans, so this time, he decided to be very careful and only used two Survivor Skills.

He soon fused Danger Sense and Boosted Steps to obtain Heightened Awareness.

[ Heightened Awareness Lv5: Passively heighten your senses and agility to avoid threats. Gain the ability to sense hidden dangers and move with increased speed and agility, allowing for quicker escapes or evasive maneuvers. ]

Then, he fused Survival Cooking and Foraging to obtain a Resources Handler Skill.

[ Resources Handler Lv5: You have a 50% chance to transform gathered ingredients into delicious meals that grant temporary buffs. Successful cooked food grants a 15% increase in Health Regeneration and Spirit Recovery once consumed. ]

”This is a completely different skill…” Shane’s eyes lit up after seeing the Resources Handler Skill.

After all, his Survival Cooking only guarantees that he won’t get poisons even if he cooks a tree bark. As for the Foraging Skill, it grants him the ability to tell which herbs or items should be foraged or not and how to perfectly preserve them.

However, after fusing these two skills, he didn’t expect that a skill that would allow him to cook food with magical effects would appear.

’That fifteen percent in both Health Regeneration and Spirit Recovery is going to be a game changer.’ Shane mused. He knew how important this fifteen percent was.

Shane then paused for a moment as he considered what to fuse this time.

Survivor Skills: Firearm Mastery, Axe Mastery, Lockpicking, Hacker, Fast Swimmer, Taunt, Mining, Rope Mastery, Deadly Punch, Alchemy, Weapon Master, Aura of Protection, Archery, Horseback Riding, Lesser Beast Taming, Ghost Stride, Horizontal Slash, Enhanced Senses Five-Meter Jump, Titan’s Roar, Underground Burrow, Force Punch, Armored Dash, Momentum Shift.

After checking the skills available for fusion, Shane selected the Ghost Stride, Archery, and Firearm Mastery…

A movement skill followed by two weapon-related skills made him hope to obtain a combat-related ability that could help him fight while moving…

Thankfully, the system skill gacha did not disappoint him!

[ Skill Fusion in progress. ]

[ Skill Fusion Successful. ]

[ You have obtained Shadow Hunt Skill. ]

[ Shadow Hunt Lv5: Master the art of stealth and ranged combat. Use the skill to become nearly invisible while simultaneously hunting the enemies with a weapon of your choice without being detected. ]

”Not bad…” Shane muttered as he continued to fuse his Axe Mastery, Weapon Master, and Rope Mastery this time…

[ You have obtained Armament Expert Skill. ]

[ Armament Expert Skill Lv10: You have mastered the art of wielding various weapons, seamlessly integrating your skills, especially with ropes and axes to become a formidable force on the battlefield. This skill enables you to have 20% Enhanced Damage, Tactical Maneuvering, and obtain a Versatile Combat Style. ]

Shane smiled after seeing this skill.

’Armament Expert sounds good… This passive skill even grants enhanced damage…’

After appreciating the skill, Shane decided to do his final fusion for the day, which would be Force Punch, Deadly Punch, and Taunt Skill.

[ Brawler’s Fury Lv10: Channel your aggressive taunting into a burst of punches. This skill allows you to unleash a rapid series of punches on a taunted enemy, and each hit increases in damage. The ninth punch will include 500% of your Strength. ]

”Ninth punch… That shouldn’t be difficult to achieve, but a target that would last for my ninth match wouldn’t be so many.” Shane muttered as he knew that with his equipment and Strength, anyone who could receive eight of his punches wouldn’t be so many. After all, his Strength was already at its maximum, with his current level of two breakthroughs.

In any case, the ninth punch would still be a very powerful trump card he could use in case of emergency.

”Alright… That should be enough for now…” Shane muttered as the Talisman actually consumed 100 Spirit Points per usage.

As for the remaining 1 Skill Fusion Talisman, he decided to store it in his Inventory.

He then checked his current Skill List.

Survivor Skills: Lockpicking, Hacker, Fast Swimmer, Mining, Alchemy, Aura of Protection, Horseback Riding, Lesser Beast Taming, Horizontal Slash, Enhanced Sense, Five-Meter Jump, Titan’s Roar, Underground Burrow, Armored Dash, Momentum Shift.

Fused Skills: Survivalist, Crowd Manipulator, Phantasm Rush, Trap Mastery, Elemental Resistance, Heightened Awareness, Resources Handler, Shadow Hunt, Armament Expert, Brawler’s Fury.
