My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start-Chapter 66 - Watson's Preparations

Chapter 66: Watson’s Preparations

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the training field, Blackmoon Castle.

Watson stood on the barren stony ground; he held a wooden sword in his hand as he made some hacking motions.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, gray chaotic aura covered the wooden sword before it immediately erased it from existence.

Watson smiled wryly. “The chaotic aura was formed from light and dark auras. In terms of strength, it’s ten times stronger than the other two types of aura. However, it will shatter upon reaching my hand unless the weapon in my hand is silver-tier or above! Iron-tier and low-tier weapons will shatter; bronze-tier weapons are better, they can withstand ten times more.”

Sometimes, strength could also be a disadvantage.

Fortunately, the combat aura produced by Watson’s fusion could be divided. The chaotic combat aura could be divided into light and dark properties, and light elements could be divided into four basic elements—earth, fire, water, and wind.

Watson found it strange; light and dark elements were equal in combat aura, but they could not be separated like the light element. The four basic elements that made up the world had nothing to do with the dark attribute; it was as if the dark element was created outside the system.

The dark-elemental combat aura represented the power of mist, corrosion, and devour. Those three powers could block one’s five senses; it would make it difficult for people to see things clearly. There was also a strong acid that stimulated the surface of objects and creatures. It would leave traces of dark erosion; if the object were a bronze longsword, it would become an iron-tier weapon or scrap iron. The ability to devour was simple—just as Nightingale had shown, she controlled the shadow to swallow the object and use it as a storage bag.

“Now that I have mastered the gold-tier dark-elemental combat aura, I can make use of the dark elements to a certain extent.”

Watson extended his right hand. The shadow behind him squirmed, and a three-meter-long wooden sword slowly rose from within it. He held it in his hand.

He named that ability Shadow Space. It was only three square meters, and it could not store many things. As his strength increased, the storage space could also become larger.

In addition to that ability, he also grasped the ability to turn his body into an illusion. He could use his dark-elemental combat aura to transform parts of his flesh and blood into shadows. That ability was best used at night and in dark places.

Combat aura was not magic, but a high-level practitioner’s combat aura would have the characteristics of the world’s basic elements. It had a mysterious color that was comparable to magic.

In contrast to the dark-elemental combat aura, the light-elemental combat aura that Watson grasped also had three characteristics: flame, penetration, and purification.

The first one was similar to the ability to turn his body into a shadow—it was the weapon of light and the flames of the sun. The weapon of light could use light to change weapons at will. As the name implied, the flames of the sun could distort light into flames during the day—it could purify everything.

If he encountered an enemy during the day, Watson could use his light-elemental combat aura against the enemy and borrow the power of the sun and the weapon of light. If it were at night, then he would use his dark-elemental combat aura and transform into a shadow so that it would be difficult for others to guard against him.

As for the chaotic combat aura, the destructive power was too great, so Watson decided not to use it unless it was necessary.

“Since the system has fused the chaotic elements, the source is with me. Other than cultivating this element’s aura, can I also use its magic? However, if I want to use its magic, I must have a chant, a stable magic array, and an operational structure. I am certain that there isn’t a single magic book in this world that can record chaotic magic. Perhaps I need to create it myself?”

Watson suddenly thought of that; he muttered to himself, “Not necessarily. Chaos is an element born from the fusion of light and dark elements. I only need to find light and dark-elemental magic of the same level and fuse them to create chaotic magic! I am truly a genius. Unfortunately, light and dark magic is also rare in this world.”

As he held the wooden sword that rose from the shadow, Watson did not use his chaotic combat aura. He used his physical strength to hold it and hack away as he set his future training plans in his heart.

Even though light and dark magic were hard to find, once he found them, he was confident that he would become the youngest and most powerful mage in the world.

“Watson, there aren’t enough Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs. Replenish them for me. I’m going out.”

There was a sound as the wind blew behind him. Watson did not turn his head. Instead, he held the wooden sword in his left hand and grabbed a soft petite hand to his right.

When he turned around, Watson realized that the hand had belonged to Nightingale. She must have wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but she was surprised by his action. She opened her pink lips to speak, but she was frozen on the spot.

Watson took his hand back and threw the wooden sword into the shadow space. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Miss Nightingale, where are you going? Are you going back to the Fairy Castle? Don’t forget the promise that you’ve given me. You haven’t promoted any of my guards yet.”

“I’m not a man of my word. I’m going out to do something. I’ll be back in a day! Half a day if I’m fast.”

Nightingale glanced at Watson; she forced herself to be calm and said, “This has something to do with you too! Yesterday, I received a request from the Wilber Liszt Manor and other manors. They want to spend 1,000 gold coins for me to destroy Blackmoon Castle. I’ve made up my mind to refuse them today. Shouldn’t you give me 200 Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs as compensation?”

Nightingale had wanted to ask Watson for 500 eggs. She had lived there for two days and knew that the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken would lay 1,000 eggs every day. So, 500 eggs was not a lot, but she changed her mind when Watson grabbed her hand.

Yesterday, she could still pat Watson on the shoulder. She did not expect that he would immediately adapt to such a powerful force after he had become a gold-tier warrior. What a monster!

“Let’s do 100 Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs. I don’t have more than that to spare. Also, tell me about these manors.”

“At least 150.”

“Well, 80 then.”

“Alright, 100 then!” Nightingale gritted her teeth and agreed. She reached out her hand and said, “Give me the eggs first.”

Watson spread his combat aura wings on his back and flew back to the castle. He brought a basket of boiled eggs to Nightingale from the kitchen.

Nightingale looked at it before she said with satisfaction, “Watson, I have to remind you that this is a trial for you by the border count. You must defeat these farmers to become his subordinate! In addition to me, these people also invited a team of mages from Monte Town. The strongest one is a silver-tier mage. I can only guarantee that I won’t intervene in this process, and I can’t interfere with the others.”

The border count was really a troublesome person.

Watson pursed his lips. The count wanted to test his strength. He wanted to see if Blackmoon Castle was a powerful force that could protect its assets or a fat sheep with treasures but no fighting power. If it were the latter, he believed that the border count would swing his butcher’s knife mercilessly.

“That’s all I have to say. Do take care of yourself. I sincerely hope that Blackmoon Castle will not become a ruin in a day. So that I can still eat the delicious Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs,” Nightingale instructed before she disappeared into the shadows.

Watson stood in place for a moment. Then, suddenly, he infused his combat aura into his voice and opened his mouth to shout.

“All Blackmoon Castle guards, listen to my orders. Our enemy is coming to invade us. Now is the time to prove your worth! Anyone who kills an enemy will be rewarded with a Rainbow Phoenix Egg. Anyone who kills 100 enemies will be rewarded with a piece of silver-tier equipment. If you can achieve the final victory, then the three people who kill the most enemies will receive the manor I’ve given you. This is my promise, and it will be effective forever!”

The surroundings were silent at first before thunderous cheers rang out.

“We will obey Young Master Watson’s orders!”

The 30 Blackmoon Knights on patrol came from all directions; their eyes burned with enthusiasm.

Rich rewards would always bring brave men. Watson believed that with sufficient resources and specialized training, those guards would not be any weaker than a thousand soldiers. It was time to test the results of Blackmoon Castle’s progress over the past few days.
