Chapter 145 - Fusion (1/2)
Finally knowing that he could remove skills that did not serve any purpose to him other than to make his skill list look more cluttered, even though he had to pay a price for it to happen, Aurus was quite happy knowing that it was possible in his Inanimate form.
All of the places that allowed skills to be removed from skill lists in Aurus' memories were all places that could only be accessed by players in the late game. To be more specific, only those that at least have an existence level of Transcendent would be able to access such a place.
”Now that I think about it,” Aurus started to ponder over the words the system said as it confirmed the ability of skill removal. ”What does it mean by removing levels proportionate to the grade of the skill I'm removing? If I'm getting this correctly, a C-grade Mortal skill would cost a level to be removed, while an X-grade Mortal skill would cost 5, presuming that my calculations are correct.”
Although there was nothing wrong with asking the system about these things, Aurus decided to not ask the system, lest it actually had a conscience of its own and it grew annoyed from Aurus' consistent questioning.
”Well…if my calculations are seriously correct,” Aurus muttered to himself not long after. ”Then there's no problem for me to use up some of my unused experience. If not, even the few million points of experience that I have is definitely not going to be enough.”
”System, open up a list of active and hybrid skills that I have,” Aurus commanded the system, putting aside passive skills since more passive skills would help Aurus out rather than become a burden.
Ding!

Looking at the decently long skill list that appeared in front of his field of vision, which only constituted up of active and hybrid skills that he had obtained all along his journey to where he was now, Aurus could not help but imitate of clicking his tongue inwardly as he could not help but say, ”Man, how did it get to this point?”
As he tried to recall where his skills came from, he remembered that almost all of his skills were obtained through the evolutions he did as a species. Unfortunately, a lot of those skills haven't even seen the light of day, never being used even once in a fight.
He looked at this list a few more times, deciding on what skills to remove. Eventually, he decided to remove the Life and Will skills he obtained from evolving into a Spiritas. The only useful Life and Will skills he obtained were the Life and Will vessel and stat boost skills, both of which were passive.
As for the three skills, the only gimmick they had was a stat boost, and it was not even close to the boost given by [Grand Spiritas Deification].
And so, with his choice set in stone, Aurus commanded the system, ”System, remove [Blooming Vitality+++++], [Indomitable Will+++++], and [Sentience+++++].”
Not long after saying it, he could not help but add, ”God damn, these skill names are a mouthful. Not only that, it feels like I'm trying to persuade a cat to come closer…as if there was one in the first place.”
Ding!
It took a few seconds for the system to process Aurus' command, a screen appearing in front of his field of vision not long after as the text written on it said, 'The system cannot delete these skills as these skills are the core of Life and Will skills.'
”Are you serious?” Aurus mumbled in slight annoyance. ”Ain't the core skills of Life and Will the vessel and the passive stat boost one?”
He commanded the system to delete the three skills a few times, all of those attempts ending up fruitless. In the end, he could not help but sigh as he decided to not mess with those skills, looking for another skill he rarely used to remove instead.
”Hmm…after obtaining a great amount of FP, plus an incredibly good FP regeneration rate, I think this skill can go now,” Aurus said to himself after looking at a specific skill categorized under Class Skills. He tried to remember the last time he used that skill, which ended up becoming fruitless as he could not remember it anymore.
”System, remove [Supreme Spirit-Vitality Unification],” Aurus commanded not long after, obtaining a screen which showed him good news this time.
'This skill is an S-grade Mortal skill. Would you like to sacrifice 4 of your levels to remove this skill?'
”Finally, a skill I can remove! Wait a second…my calculations were correct as well!” Aurus was slightly ecstatic to remove this skill, as well as finding out that he was correct, confirming without hesitation as a notification appeared not long after, informing him of his level dropping down to Level 16.
Ding!
'[Supreme Spirit-Vitality Unification] has been removed.'
Whoosh!
