There are as many as 37 of them. There are too many. If you include all the skills that have not yet been taken due to the skill cap, the number will increase.

The slots probably filled up quickly. However, now that we have skill compression, we are able to collect more diverse skills.

“Well, first of all, the strengthening skills have been integrated into Adult Awakening.”

[It’s much cleaner just by integrating the reinforcement skills.]

I chose Naegongsimbeop as the next skill to compress.

“Hmm.”

There are many recipes for Naegongsimbeop. It seems that the Negongsimbeop skill itself was a skill that served as a kind of base material. I was able to create a breathing skill by mixing the inner gongsim method and various skills.

“That’s interesting. Uh? “Can it be combined with this?”

[What is it, but?]

“Ah. “That is.”

Based on the inner empty core method and the magic circuit, I was able to combine three skills with the Cheongwol attribute.

A total of 5 skills can be combined into one.

‘The air resistance method and magic attribute circuit are the same, and it is SSS grade, so the conditions are met.’

Neigongsimbeop is a skill that allows you to accumulate magic power in your Danjeon through meditation, and magic circuit is a skill that absorbs magic stones and makes magic flow.

Here, a lunar eclipse plays the role of changing the magical energy in the body into the properties of the moon. It is mainly needed when using moonlight or moonflower. Moonlight is a skill that grants the attribute of blue moon to a weapon, and Wola is a skill that allows you to summon a wolf made of magical power.

Anyway, if you combine these five into one…

[Law of the Blue Moon(-)]

[Effect: Magical power can be acquired through meditation and absorption of magic stones, and the magic power has the properties of perm and purification. On nights when the moon rises, your magical power is amplified, and you can summon Yue-ah named Molar and Fang. You can apply moonlight to objects or objects that are in contact with your body. It may interfere with the spiritual body or magical power.]

[Handicap: The effect of the skill is halved during the day.]

The skills have been compressed to a more enhanced state.

Lunar Eclipse has beautifully absorbed the inner hero and magic circuit, and Wol-a has been able to summon two named wolves, and the range of Moonlight has been expanded from the effect that it can only be given to weapons to all objects.

“It’s thrilling.”

I really liked it because as the number of skills decreased, the effectiveness improved.

‘Then.’

This time, I’m going to try to combine some unfamiliar skills. These are skills that I have not yet been able to pass on to others, but by using skill compression, I was able to transform them into quite appetizing skills.

‘Bat face covering and gender transition.’

Human skin mask is an infiltration skill that allows you to imitate the appearance of a killed target if they are of the same sex, and gender change is a skill that allows you to change gender with mutual consent.

In the case of the human skin face, I left it in because I was hoping that someday I would find a place where I could use infiltration and hide, and gender change was left in because it was a skill with a skill penalty as its main skill.

This is because the penalty for changing gender is that you cannot get pregnant, so you can use this to get birth control. I gave it to Yeongsik once before.

What can I say about Yeongsik? Even when he became a woman, he was still Yeongsik. Let’s stop here and talk about Yeongsik’s transformation into a woman. Because she doesn’t think much of anything good.

Anyway, the story went sideways again, but if you combine these two skills, it turns into quite an incredible skill.

[Appearance Stealing (A)]

[Effect: You can take the appearance of the killed target, and you can also overwrite the appearance on someone else.]

[Handicap: Only up to 3 appearances can be saved.]

[Penalty: If you change your appearance, you will not be able to reproduce for the next 6 months.]

The bast ball has become a skill that feels like it has been strengthened.

The important point here is the appearance of the ‘killed target’. In short, it means that it no longer matters even if we are not exactly the same person. Moreover, this can also be blamed on others.

‘After copying the appearance of the vampires… If you temporarily change their species to a vampire using the skills of the bloodsuckers you acquired this time…’

Can infiltrate the blood world. Moreover, since the appearance changes, it may be possible to hide it with a halo.

[Let’s experiment right away.]

“Okay.”

I changed my appearance to the handsome white-haired, red-eyed vampire I killed last.

“Ohh.!!”

The appearance has changed. Moreover, the irezumi engraved on my body disappeared completely, and the halo floating above my head also disappeared.

It exists, but it feels like it is covered over by my appearance.

“With this, will I be able to play stealth again?”

[Is it possible? If you can hide by conserving your strength well… I think hiding is possible by blocking presence.]

“Hey~”

I got this good skill. Afterward, I re-acquired Crushing Blow, One-Point Penetration, and Evasive Counterattack and combined them to obtain shock amplification.

[Shock Amplification (S)]

[Effect: Generates a shock wave when attacking.]

[Handicap: You must have magical power in your body.]

This was also the effect of combining just three skills. The important thing is that now even if you hit with your bare fist without holding a weapon, a shock wave is sent out.

“That’s amazing.”

Instead, it felt like magic power was being used up. It’s a pretty good effect.

‘I think I’ve roughly integrated all the skills I have with this…’

Now, after having a light breakfast or lunch, let’s operate the labyrinth. I was really curious about how it could be operated.

‘Sandwiches for lunch.’

Saeyeon gave it to me earlier. I guess they took care of it because they didn’t know how long it would take, and it came out relatively quickly, so I didn’t really have time to eat it. It would be perfect to eat it now.

‘Now that I think about it…’

As I chewed and swallowed my sandwich, I remembered that I couldn’t use Spirit and Flesh Steal against the vampire. Their bodies turned to dust, so there was no way to trade them.

‘Hmm.’

Is it possible to trade with soul stones? Or should I just make a lot of money by selling skills? I pondered for a moment whether it would be a good idea and observed the soul stones left behind by the blood demons.

These were basically the skills that the Blood Demon had.

[Vampire recovery (-)]

[Effect: By sucking ‘human blood’, it quickly recovers from wounds and fatigue and prevents aging.]

[Handicap: Longer fangs.]

[Penalty: You will gradually turn into a vampire.]

[Bleeding control (-)]

[Effect: You can arbitrarily control your own bleeding status. As you use the skill, you gradually become insensitive to pain.]

[Handicap: Longer fangs.]

[Penalty: Natural wound healing slows down.]

[Blood doping(-)]

[Effect: By sucking ‘human blood’, your physical abilities and reflexes increase significantly for 10 minutes, and you feel a sense of mental uplift.]

[Handicap: Longer fangs.]

[Penalty: Gradually becoming addicted to human blood.]

Up to this point, everyone had basically owned it. You could see it as something like a vampire specialty. Moreover, before becoming a skill, it does not have the same effect as this, but is literally a specific skill, so from the vampires’ perspective, this skill may be nothing more than a symbol of their identity.

Well, anyway, in addition to these three basic skills, there were several unique skills.

[Bloodstain Explosion(-)]

[Effect: You can apply your own blood and explode at will.]

[Handicap: The sunlight stings.]

[Penalty: The desire to suck blood is maximized after using the ability.]

[Bloodweave(-)]

[Effect: You can create weapons by manipulating the blood of others.]

[Handicap: The sunlight stings.]

[Penalty: Recovery through blood sucking will be difficult for the time being.]

[Serum production (-)]

[Effect: You will have high immunity to diseases, and your own blood becomes a kind of disease treatment.]

[Handicap: The sunlight stings.]

[Penalty: You will experience anemia after using the ability.]

[Generation of affiliates (-)]

[Effect: Creates followers through blood absorption. You can create two types of subordinates, Vampir and Strigoi.]

[Handicap: The cross is disgusting.]

[Penalty: You will experience symptoms of exhaustion after using the ability.]

[Blood Fog(-)]

{Effect: Can turn the body into a blood mist. Becomes immune to physical attacks and can fly.}

[Handicap: The cross is disgusting.]

[Penalty: You will experience dizziness after using the ability.]

[Heart stiffness (-)]

[Effect: You can lightly grab the heart of a being at a distance.]

[Handicap: The cross is disgusting.]

[Penalty: You must absorb the blood of 10 people within a day after using the ability. If you do not absorb it, you will die.]

“Hey.”

These are some pretty amazing skills.

They all seem worth using.

“Come out, blood demon.”

I immediately called the blood demon.

“Here are 5 awakening stones. Absorb it all.”

The blood demon, who had been feminized through gender reassignment, stood blankly and looked at me.

Then, I saw the skill contained in the awakening stone and quickly absorbed it.

This was originally a name given to this bastard to make fun of him, but now he might become a real blood demon.
