BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45: Rewards
[Due to your Trait, you have multiplied your experience by 10]
[You have gained 10,000 experience]
[You have gained C class Mage LifeSkill Chitinous Spikes]
Atlan fell on his knees, completely exhausted. His Angel wings folded behind him and disappeared into nothingness. He couldn't keep using his mutation even though he wanted to.
Throughout that whole fight, his adrenaline was working overtime and keeping his whole body afloat. His whole body was screaming at him, but the dangerous situation he was in prevented him from taking even a small break.
If the fight lasted longer than that, then he didn't know what would have happened.
The giant hand he created in his Soul System was already starting to disappear before he used the last spurt of his strength to activate his Cherubic Retribution LifeSkill.
He lay on the ground and looked at his hand. He couldn't believe the power he mustered from that SSS class LifeSkill. With just one move, he was able to disintegrate the Canzer without any problem at all.
Is it because my LifeSkill is related to Angels?
From what he knew, Canzers seemed to have an inherent weakness against Angels. The cube he carried into the Remedium resonated with his Angel genus, which gave him the idea to use his Cherubic LifeSkill as his trump card.
Luck played a part in his win. After all, if the Canzer hadn't used its final resort, then it wouldn't have stood still. Only then was Atlan able to target the Canzer with his LifeSkill.
Because of his inexperience, he needed at least two seconds to hone in his focus on his target.
He would have used his angel LifeSkill earlier if his opponents weren't such speed demons. They were all aggressive and pounced toward him, leaving him no room to focus and target the LifeSkill on them.
Although his LifeSkill had a massive weakness in that he needed a static and stationary target to use it, he still felt assured knowing that it could kill a monstrous Canzer like that.
[You have two LifeSkills for the same job. Do you want to fuse the two?]
[Upgrade points required: 12,000]
[Experience points required: 20,000]
Atlan couldn't believe his eyes. He quickly looked at his Soul System.

Atlan didn't even notice it, but he had two LifeSkills with the same job! And from the looks of it, by sacrificing a few upgrade points and a few experiences, he could merge the two LifeSkills.
Was this possible? Atlan wanted to know if other people could do this.
However, he quickly realized that he was the only person who experienced this unique situation. He was probably the only one with multiple LifeSkills in his Soul System with the same job.
It cost him 12,000 Upgrade points and 20,000 experience points to merge the two.
Atlan thought the price was too steep, especially in the experience department, but when he thought about it, it became a little bit more tolerable.
He could earn as many experience points as he could just by reaping the deaths of everything around him. And with his mysterious trait that was somehow able to multiply his rewards by 10, he would earn back that exp in a small amount of time.
The upgrade points, however, were a different story.
Although he had almost a million of these points, he didn't know a way to replenish them. He would have to wait until he witnessed another extinction-level event with his eyes before he got another batch of Upgrade points.
So, he was glad that it only cost him a small amount of Upgrade points.
With his decision set in stone, Atlan fused the two LifeSkills.
The red geometrical objects and the blue wisps in his Soul System immediately encircled the two Mage LifeSkill planets. A string of blue and red lines orbited the two planets and slowly forced the two to crash into one another.
The Chitinous LifeSkill was an empty planet devoid of any layers, while the Mucus Spray had three layers with solidified blue cores.
This represented the difference in power realms between the two.
Atlan finally figured out why the fusion also required experience points. It was because the Chitinous Spikes LifeSkill needed to have an equal power realm with the Mucus Spray LifeSkill.
Did it double the cost of experience points because it skipped through the consolidation period?
The cost of upgrading a LifeSkill from the first stage to the 4th stage cost about 10,000 exp. But the cost for it now took 20,000 exp.
Can I skip the consolidation period of a LifeSkill if I just pay twice the amount of experience points?
Atlan quickly shook off the thought. Whenever he upgraded a LifeSkill to the maximum experience points it could take, an invisible barrier would always appear and prevent the blue wisps from entering the LifeSkill planet.
DUGGSHHH
The two LifeSkill planets finally crashed into each other and crumbled into large chunks. But it didn't stop there. The strings continued to push the two together until chunks from one planet united with each other.
The pressure from the strings was so strong that the chunks glowed a bright red and turned into lava.
And because the chunks finally turned into a liquid form, they easily merged into the other. With the guidance of the strings, it quickly formed into one giant planet.
[The two Mage LifeSkills have successfully combined into one]
—Mage: (C) Spiked Chitin Spray
——— Consolidating the 4th stage
Atlan was satisfied to know that he could merge two LifeSkills and combine the powers of both into one skill.
But it seemed that it wasn't the end of that.
