Satoru's slime body seemed to pulse with excitement as he smirked, ready to push his newfound power to the next level. "Alright, Great Sage," he began, the enthusiasm evident in his voice. "Since I've acquired a lot of skills now, can you combine them to create more powerful ones?"
Satoru's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "So, it's possible to fuse them? How does it work? What kinds of new abilities could I unlock if you did this?"
Satoru thought for a moment, mentally reviewing the skills he had acquired so far. "Alright, let's try it. Start with the basics and see what we can come up with. Maybe something like a fusion between my combat and mobility skills, like 'Sharp Fang' and 'Fast Movement.' What do you think?"
Satoru could feel a strange sensation as the skills began to meld within him. There was a sense of shifting, as if the very nature of the abilities were being restructured.
Satoru's excitement surged. "That's awesome! I feel faster already! What else can we do?"
Once again, Satoru felt the sensation of his abilities merging. This time, it was a deep, soothing warmth that spread through him as his regenerative capabilities were enhanced by the power of the absorption skill.
Satoru laughed out loud, feeling a rush of power. "This is incredible! I feel like I can keep fighting forever now. Alright, let's take it up a notch. How about combining my elemental abilities with something like my sensing skills?"
Satoru felt a jolt of energy course through him as the elemental and sensory abilities fused, the potential to manipulate the environment heightening his awareness of it at the same time.
Satoru couldn't help but grin wider. "Elemental Perception... that's going to be a game changer! I can already feel the changes."
Satoru took a moment to soak in the information. "So, it's not just about brute force and growth; there's strategy to this. Combining the right skills at the right time will give me an edge, huh?"
Satoru flexed his new abilities, feeling the surge of power within him. "Alright, Great Sage, let's keep this going. I'm not stopping until I unlock everything this world has to offer."
With that, Satoru was ready to continue his journey, armed with his newly enhanced skills and a greater understanding of how to shape his power through fusion. The adventure was just beginning, and he was determined to see how far he could push his abilities in this unforgiving world.
