'Is this what I think it is'

[The system agrees!]

['Skill Synthesis' is a unique ability allowing the host to merge and enhance existing skills but the condition is that the skills should have a common linking factor.]

'What do you mean by common linking factor?'

[Common linking factor in general terms means that there should be something common between the two skills for synthesis to succeed as it provides a basic structure to the system about how the new skill will function. ]

[Synthesis of unlike skills may lead to the production of a lower tier or defective skill.]

'Oh I see'

'well let's try them out'

I moved out of his place and swam for some distance until he reached an open sea bed area.

I stood poised on the open sea bed, the vast expanse of the ocean stretching out before him. With a focused breath, he tapped into the depths of his newfound power, invoking the Tetra Elemental Overlord's Movement. 

In an instant, a surge of elemental energy enveloped him, igniting the water around him with a blazing inferno. With fluid grace, he propelled forward, a streak of fire and water intertwined, slicing through the ocean currents with unprecedented speed.

As he hurtled through the depths, my senses were overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of his newfound ability. The world blurred around him, the ocean floor passing in a blur as he traversed vast distances in the blink of an eye.

Caught in the exhilarating rush of speed and power, I felt awe over him. The sensation of being able to traverse the ocean depths with such ease and swiftness was nothing short of mesmerizing. It was as if he had unlocked a hidden facet of his being, transcending the limitations of mere aquatic life.

With each effortless glide through the water, I couldn't help but marvel at the capacity and potency of his synthesized skill. It was a moment of revelation, a glimpse into the boundless potential that lay within him. As he continued to navigate the ocean depths with newfound freedom, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was on the brink of something truly extraordinary.

[The host has gained insight into Space magic!]

'Now this feels like isekai!'

As I returned to my residence, the weight of the recent conflict hung heavy in the air, the aftermath of war evident in every ripple of the ocean. Vaela awaited me, her expression sombre, flanked by a few guards who bore the weight of our recent losses.

She wasted no time in delivering the grim report of the aftermath. The casualties, a quarter of our entire force, weighed heavily on my heart, each loss a testament to the price of our struggle. The destruction of corals, the rising sea bed levels, and the loss of fish houses painted a bleak picture of the toll exacted by the conflict.

Listening to the extent of the devastation, I felt a surge of anguish and guilt wash over me. Despite our victory, the cost had been steep, and the repercussions were far-reaching. But amidst the despair, a flicker of determination ignited within me. I vowed to rebuild what was lost, to heal the wounds inflicted upon our oceanic realm.

Turning to Vaela, I thanked her for her unwavering dedication and leadership in the face of adversity. Together, we would navigate the turbulent waters ahead, striving to forge a brighter future from the ashes of our struggles.

Vaela's voice, though tinged with weariness, held a glimmer of hope as she assured me that despite the devastation, the healing had already begun. She spoke of the gradual restoration of normalcy in our territory, the resilient spirit of our oceanic community driving us forward. With each passing day, the coral reefs would regrow, the sea bed levels would stabilize, and the shattered fish houses would be rebuilt. It was a testament to the resilience of our people, a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we would rise again, stronger than before. As Vaela outlined the path to recovery, her words served as a beacon of hope amidst the wreckage, guiding us toward a future where our oceanic realm would flourish once more.
