SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: New skills!

[Ding! You have combined the skills Holy Grace (Active), Renewed Blessing (Passive), Blessing Spire (Active) and Blessing of Vital Light (Passive) to create a new skill: Radiant Wellspring.]

Radiant Wellspring (Active, Rank-A, Element-Holy)

Description: Summons a sanctified well of radiant energy at a targeted location for 15 seconds. Allies within range regenerate health rapidly and receive 30% reduced damage from all sources. Undead or unholy beings caught within the radius suffer continuous holy damage and reduced healing effects. Activates minor cleansing on each healing pulse. Cooldown: 90 seconds

Damon was pleasantly surprised at this new development. He had been tinkering around with these four skills for the past several hours, considering the high synergy between them but he didn’t think that he would actually be able to combine them together into an A rank skill at that.

This wasn’t just a spell anymore, it was battlefield control. A hybrid AoE heal plus AoE damage zone with utility tacked on. The kind of skill that, in the hands of a paladin or high-tier cleric, would’ve become the centerpiece of any raid group. But now... it was his. A vampire, wielding radiant holy wells like they were just another tool in his overflowing arsenal.

Grinning, Damon immediately cast the skill on the puppet area. The effect was instant. A circle of brilliant white-gold light bloomed beneath his feet, threads of radiant mist swirling upward like reverse rain. He could feel its purifying pulse seep into his bones and nourishing him.

Damon’s crimson eyes narrowed as the puppet within the radius began to steam and spark, its mana-reactive alloys reacting violently to the searing holy damage. The runes beneath it flickered, struggling to stabilize the readings. And all around him, the radiance danced, gentle to allies, merciless to enemies.

"Beautiful," Damon nodded but he was not satisfied with just this alone. He still had several more hours left and he wanted to work on few other skill combinations he had in mind. If he was able to combine these lesser skills into a high rank skill, then there was so much more he could do.

Damon continued practising his skills once again. Since he was on a roll with holy skills he decided to continue with that. He opened his skill menu again and scanned for the next cluster. One caught his eye immediately.

[Sanctified Barrier] – a minor auto-shield for allies.

[Seraph’s Light] – a passive that slightly increased shield durability and reflected a fraction of damage.

[Aegis Pulse] – a short burst of divine energy that could interrupt projectiles and cleanse one debuff.

[Holy Anchor] – a rarely used ability that rooted the caster in place to boost defenses massively for five seconds.

[Blessing of the Vigilant] – a passive that increased resistance to crowd control effects for all nearby allies. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

[Shield of Light] – a weak but persistent aura that applied a small damage-absorbing barrier every 10 seconds to allies within range.

He quickly wanted to try it out. He immediately cast the skill on himself. With a hum like a bell being struck underwater, a dome of radiant hexagonal light rose around him, flickering slightly with golden waves. Every pulse of the barrier shuddered the air.

The moment the puppet fired a low-powered magic bolt, the dome intercepted it mid-flight, disintegrating it with a gentle burst of particles. And then, something unexpected happened.

[Ding! You have unlocked a new skill boost]

[Ding! While Bastion of the Condemned and Radiant Wellspring are active within 15 meters of each other, both zones can enhance each other. Healing is increased by 25%. Shields absorb an additional 15% damage. Fear, silence, and confusion effects are negated inside the area. Undead and unholy regeneration is halted entirely.]

Damon read the notification and he couldn’t believe it. Casting both the skills together would bring a devastating effect on his opponents. "Ha..." he exhaled slowly. This was completely broken.
