292 Grasping the Synergy Skill, Discovery

Randy had his eyes closed the entire time the fusion sequence was occurring in his soul. At the same time, his entire body lit up with brilliant light that briefly illuminated the already well-lit white Safe Room, superseding the light in the white Safe Room. The blinding illumination persisted in the Safe Room before it slowly retracted back inside Randy’s body a few moments later. This situation would have caused quite a commotion had he been in a public place or in an environment where there were a lot of people.

At some point, Randy opened his eyes with a profound expression, and at the same time, lines of text scrolled through his line of sight. He proceeded to read those texts without delay.

[[Congratulation! You have successfully grasped the skill, ‘Synergy’ from the Crystallized Ability Stone]]

[[Due to your successful comprehension and grasp of the ‘Synergy’ skill, your fusion with its Crystallized Ability Stone yielded a more favorable result than anticipated]]

?[[Synergy]]?

?[[Mastery: 50/100]]?

?[[Type: Auxiliary Ability/Skill]]?

?[[Description: Through the application of psionic energy, various elements or powers could be combined to achieve or create a more powerful effect than the varied individual elements or powers. To evolve this ability, you need to practice it until a threshold of experience is reached or gain enlightenment]]?

?[[Effects: You can combine two compatible elements or powers to create or display powerful results. The higher the mastery points, the more elements or powers could be combined]]?

.....

Randy was pleasantly surprised by the results despite already having a grasp of the situation. He never thought that he would really acquire the Synergy ability.

Although the mastery points indicated by the system displayed [50/100], it was still a welcomed success compared to the [Energy Manifestation] skill. That was because, unlike the [Energy Manifestation] skill that had virtually no hope of upgrading in the future, the [Synergy] skill could evolve simply through gradual practice.

Randy tried to use the Synergy ability to verify its usage. He attempted to mobilize his psionic energy. Psionic energy was the sublime state of his generated mental energy, which was unlike normal mental energy that was akin to scattered particles.

A moment later, a notification with a line of text appeared before him.

[[The ‘Mental Seed’ energy vessel formation is still in progress. As such, you cannot mobilize your psionic energy at this time]]

Reading these two lines of text, Randy suddenly recalled that he was still forming an energy vessel for his mental energy. He felt regretful that he couldn’t test the effects of the [Synergy] skill of the Synergy ability right away.

Speaking of the [Synergy] skill, Randy remembered that he hadn’t entered the assimilated state of the Chimera Monster. The main reason for that was that he was inwardly afraid of what he might turn into after the transition. The other reason was simply that he found no particular yearning for it, as it was an incomplete, assimilated state caused by that corrosive dark energy.

Regardless of what he thought of the Chimera Monster’s assimilated state, he still wanted to test it out. He also wanted to confirm the Chimera Monster’s other assimilated abilities that hadn’t been crystallized into an Ability Stone. With that in mind, he shifted his thought process and then commanded internally to activate the Chimera Monster’s assimilated state.

Almost instantly, his entire body exuded a mysterious aura, and he could feel changes occurring inside his body. Despite the changes occurring within his body, his facial appearance didn’t change much. Only his hair and eye color turned black and brown, respectively.

[[You have entered an Assimilated State]]

Other than the slight changes in his outward appearance, he also had a profound feeling that he had temporarily acquired a few new abilities.

Sure enough, the next system notification confirmed his feelings.

[[You have acquired the following abilities in the form of skills: Paralyzing Spittle (100%) and Synergy (Incomplete, Partially Corroded) (50%)]

Randy read through the list of abilities and realized that some of them were missing. However, he also recalled that many of the Chimera Monster’s abilities were corroded by that ‘dark energy’ that it used to attack him. While he could feel the subtle insight that there were originally more abilities in the Chimera Monster’s blood, he was unable to use them.

Putting that matter to the side, he looked at the remaining list, which was also the only usable abilities from the Chimera Monster. A moment later, Randy found himself staring at the [Synergy] skill. He then turned to look at the skill column on his system.

?Skills?

[Werewolf King of Wind]

[Stealthy Python]

[Ancestral Regression (100/100)]

[Palm of Double Return (100/100)]

[Blood Ray (100/100)]

[Synergy (50/100)]

[Chimera Monster]

<[Synergy (50 100)]>

<[Paralyzing Spittle (100 100)]>

…

Randy proceeded to dumbly stare between the [Synergy] skill on his main skill column and the <[Synergy] > skill on his sub-skill column, which was under the Chimera Monster’s assimilated abilities. Moments later, Randy suddenly snapped out of his reverie and exclaimed.

Randy came back to his senses. He realized that he did have two [Synergy] skills indicated on his system’s panel. Furthermore, they all had a mastery score of 50 points out of 100 points. Then, he wondered what would happen if both Synergy Skills were activated at the same time.

Naturally, he could activate two skills at the same time. He tried this theory by activating two of his assimilated states simultaneously in order to defeat the sunglasses man. After all, he had proven to be a tough opponent for him at the time. With that being said, he had never attempted to trigger two skills at the same time to be certain about his assumption.

However, as he had already experienced the two assimilated states, he knew that it was possible for skills to be activated at the same time. Not to mention that one was a main skill and the other was viscerally activated through his assimilated state.

Another thing to note was that he could now enter assimilated states without the aid of the system. After he fully adjusted to the increase in his [Blood Energy] caused by his evolution last time, he didn’t need to overly depend on the system anymore. As evident during the transition into the Chimera Monster’s state, he didn’t need the system to initiate the activation sequence in order for him to enter its assimilated mode.

Randy didn’t hesitate to give it a try. He proceeded to take a deep breath to calm his excitement and expectations. Afterward, he activated the two [Synergy] skills at the same time.

Randy made sure to utilize the activation sequence of the system for a safe activation of the assimilated state’s [Synergy] skill rather than depend on himself for both activations. While that was happening, he activated the main [Synergy] skill concurrently without delay.

At that moment, something mysterious happened within his body and he found himself in a daze.

A few lines of text scrolled before his eyes, but Randy couldn’t see them. In reality, he wasn’t aware of what was happening outside, as he was distracted by what was happening within his body. His consciousness seemed to have entered his body. The phenomenon was similar to when his consciousness accidentally entered his [Blood Space].
