Time slipped away quietly, and in the blink of an eye, another week had passed.
During this period of time, apart from occasionally helping Kanzaki enter some fixed dilapidated ancient ruins in the desert to look for some strange things, Kaede Sato had been staying in the base to train the group of elves in his hands.
As the level of the elves he used as Pikachu and Zheping increased, and the skills they mastered gradually increased, Kaede Sato also began to consciously develop some new skill combination skills based on the characteristics of these elves.
Although the time was a little rushed, after concentrating on fiddling with these skills for a few days, he had really made some progress.
However, among these elves, only three elves, Pikachu, Sapphire Starfish, and Yongira, were able to successfully develop some skill combination skills.
Pikachu's skill combination skill was relatively simple, which was the combination of Iron Head and Volt Attack. This move, which combined steel and electric elements, could be said to be the strongest attack that Pikachu had mastered so far.
However, this skill combination skill was originally not aimed at increasing the power of the move. Pikachu had the Mutated Thunderbolt Pearl, a treasure of the electric element, so he did not lack damage. However, his own weakness was very obvious, and that was that he was very fragile.
Once the opponent attacked him at close range, Pikachu could easily be killed by the opponent in an instant.
Moreover, Pikachu previously liked to use special long-range attack moves such as Hundred Thousand Volts, Thunder, and Awakened Strength — Ice. As for physical attack moves such as Iron Tail and Iron Head, because they could not trigger the charging effect, they were not powerful enough to deal with enemies who attacked at close range.
Currently, the only close-range electric attack move that Pikachu could use to kill the enemy was the Volt Attack. It could trigger the additional charging effect that the Mutated Thunderbolt Pearl gave to Pikachu, and its true power could reach the level of Pikachu's Thunder.
It was a pity that this move, which had a power of 120, was a move that killed a thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred. After Pikachu used this move, it was almost time for him to leave.
Therefore, Kaede Sato began to think about how to temporarily give Pikachu the ability to not have to worry about the reaction force, similar to the Hardened Head trait. In the end, he thought of the Steel Head skill.
The way to use the Iron Head technique was to let the little elf cover its forehead with steel energy, causing its forehead to be as hard as steel for a short period of time. Then, the little elf would use its head as a hammer to fight the enemy.
The huge recoil from the volt attack was naturally not something that could be resolved by the temporary hardening of the forehead. However, there was no doubt that the temporary hardening of the forehead could withstand a stronger impact and greatly reduce the recoil from the volt attack.
In order to allow Pikachu to expand the coverage of the Iron Head technique to the whole of his head, and thereby minimize the recoil from the volt attack, Kaede Sato did not hesitate to pay a price (two mid-grade Fire Stones) in exchange for a small bottle of diluted Metal Membrane solution from a little elf who specialized in Steel Head in the encampment.
Metal Membrane, also known as Metal Coating, was a special liquid that contained rich steel energy. The little elf only needed to smear a little of this special liquid to easily sense the steel energy in nature, and it was one of the most effective tools for the little elf to train Steel Head skills.
If little elves like the Giant Rock Snake and the Flying Mantis wanted to evolve, they needed to obtain enough Metal Membrane, and then smear it all over their bodies.
Otherwise, the Giant Rock Snake could rely on a long period of time to complete its evolution with the help of the geothermal heat and the various metals in its body, while the Flying Mantis could never evolve in its entire life.
In the process of training the Iron Head technique, Pikachu had paid a huge price. Because his head was stained with the diluted Metal Membrane solution and the constant use of the Iron Head technique, although he had become stronger, his head had become bald.
Because of this, Pikachu had been suffering for a few days, constantly arguing with Kaede Sato. In the end, Kaede Sato gave him his favorite hat and bought him his favorite deluxe hot and sour beef noodles when he returned to the city, only then did he coax him to continue training the Iron Head technique.
Now, after the arduous training, Pikachu had successfully covered half of his head with the Iron Head technique, and the huge recoil caused by the volt attack had been weakened by at least 60%.
Kaede Sato was very satisfied with this. Pikachu used the Iron Head technique to temporarily harden his head, weakening the Volt attack's reaction force by 60%. This was enough for Pikachu to use the Volt attack at full power several times. If he didn't use it once, he would be on the verge of kneeling.
In the end, Kaede Sato named this skill combination skill Thunderclap Hammer.
The combination skill that Sapphire Starfish learned was a little more complicated. Kaede Sato had it learn the combination of Light Wall and Reflective Wall. Both skills belonged to the superpower class. The former would weaken the enemy's special attack damage, while the latter would weaken the enemy's physical attack damage.
Moreover, the effects of these two moves could be transferred to their companions. It could be said that these two moves were very practical.
However, Kaede Sato knew that these two moves were far from being as simple as he had imagined. Once they were combined, they would form an extremely powerful defensive move.
In the special chapter, the supernatural elf Dyochis, who came from outer space, was able to perfectly combine these two moves to form an extremely powerful shield. The shield's strength was not inferior to the energy shield formed by Shroud in the slightest.
In fact, it wasn't just Och Isis. Logia, a super power type divine beast, had also used this technique against the Three God Birds. With this technique, he had repeatedly resisted the combined attacks of the Three God Birds.
There was also Rabi. Kaede Sato remembered that in the movie, he had used this skill combination skill to resist the flying mantis attack of the Wisp Hunter.
Kaede Sato had a very deep impression of this move. Naturally, he wanted his elf to learn this skill combination skill.
However, the prerequisite for this move was that the elf had to learn both Light Wall and Reflective Wall at the same time. Moreover, it seemed that the requirement for the elf's mental strength was relatively high.
Kaede Sato estimated that other than the supernatural elves, other elves would not be able to use this skill combination skill even if they learned both Light Wall and Reflective Wall at the same time.
Practice had proven that this skill combination skill was indeed very taxing on mental strength.
Sapphire Starfish was exhausted just by using Light Wall and Reflective Wall at the same time. If he wanted to combine the two skills, he would need to have very precise mental strength manipulation skills.
In the end, it was Yongira, a supernatural elf with a stronger mental strength than Kaede Sato, who assisted and guided Sapphire Starfish (Yongira's IQ was very high, far higher than that of humans). Only then did Sapphire Starfish succeed in using this skill combination skill.
At the same time, while Yongira was guiding Sapphire Starfish, he also learned Light Wall from Sapphire Starfish. He also learned this skill combination skill.
When Light Wall and Reflective Wall were combined, it would form a milky white energy shield. This energy shield was very strong, and Pikachu's 100,000 volts could not break it in a short time.
However, after communicating with Sapphire Starfish through telepathy, Kaede Sato knew the weakness of this energy shield. It was very taxing on mental strength. Just maintaining it required 20 points of mental strength per second, and using it once consumed 100 points of mental strength.
Kaede Sato finally saw the weakness of this skill combination skill. He finally realized why only supernatural beasts could use it freely. It was because they had enough mana.
Kaede Sato decided to name this combination skill, which consumed a lot of mana, Psychic Shield.
