My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 147 - One-Hit Kill

Chapter 147: One-Hit Kill

“Are you serious, Lord Astrologer? Did you not agree to my battle plan? Why did you ask me to stop so abruptly?”
Was he aware of any danger, or did the astrologer have a better plan? She was unable to recall their opponent’s platinum-tier elite. Oh, he was a gold-tier elite. He must have been completely exhausted. Was it not the best time to attack, as the dragon and guards in the castle were all exhausted?
The mysterious platinum-tier fighter in her heart had been demoted to gold-tier, which relieved a lot of the pressure in her heart. No matter how powerful a mere gold-tier elite was, they could not turn the world upside down.
“Do you have any doubts about my words, Audrey?” Audrey felt her body tensed as the astrologer’s eyes narrowed and his voice rose slightly. An invisible force seemed to be pressing down on her from all sides. She immediately bowed her head respectfully. “Lord Astrologer, I would not dare. I shall contact my men right away.”
Audrey did as she was told, even though she was muttering in her heart. She waved her right hand in the air and released an earth-yellow magic ball. The magical ball exploded in a burst of brilliant light.
That was a retreat signal explicitly created for the battle by the Mage Guild. A group of mages and soldiers from the North Wind mercenary group retreated to her side when they saw that signal. Only Ron, who had just rushed out, did not return because he had already run to Watson’s location.
“Lord Astrologer, Ron does not appear to have seen the signal I sent out. Do you want me to contact him again?”
“No need.”
When confronted with the question, the astrologer waved his hand and stared at Watson as if he were looking at an unpolished piece of jade. “Allow Ron to try. In any case, he will never be able to defeat that child. It just so happens that I am curious to see how much potential that child has.”
Even though he was astounded by Watson’s talent, he was still hesitant. After all, the battle had just razed more than half of Blackmoon City. If Watson were envious of him, it would be akin to raising a tiger to make it stronger.
‘The astrologer seems to admire him very much.’
Audrey clenched her fists silently and pursed her lips as she realized what he meant. She prayed for Ron to kill Watson. That way, the astrologer’s astrologer’s blame would have nothing to do with her, and she would be able to get what she desired.
She did not think much of the astrologer’s prediction that Ron would not be a good match for Watson. She was aware of Ron’s strength. He had a 40-60 chance compared to her. A warrior could barely compete with a mage of the same level, but he possessed exceptional talent.
Watson was only a gold-tier elite. He must have used some unique method to be able to demonstrate the strength of a platinum-tier warrior. Furthermore, he was already exhausted. He was no match for Ron.
Audrey looked up at the sky to console herself.
..
Watson hovered in the sky as he observed everything in front of him with cold eyes.
He had seen the Mage Guild scatter and break free from the siege of Blackmoon Castle. He had been nervous, debating whether or not to release the magic accumulated in the source. Finally, the other party sent two or three people to send a round of magic at him before they retreated.
“It is fine if I let them attack me. It doesn’t really matter. I still have the ability to store more energy.”
Just as that thought entered Watson’s mind, he noticed the other party reassemble. Only a burly and attractive man with snow-white combat aura wings on his back approached him.
Did he want to fight him?
He had no idea what the other party was thinking. Meanwhile, the man with the snow-white wings had arrived more than ten meters ahead of him and was peering down at him from above.
“Are you the most powerful person in that castle? Please tell me your name. My name is Ron, and I am the North Wind mercenary group’s leader in Monte Town. I am also Monte Town’s strongest gold-tier warrior. I hope you will remember my name because it will be the last name you will ever hear.”
Ron took the long knife with the carved wolf head and slung it over his shoulder. Snowflakes condensed around him and slowly rotated to form a storm.
Watson looked at Ron when he heard that. He deduced that the person was one of the enemy’s rare gold-tier warriors. It was worth it for him to make a move; destroying him might lower the enemy’s morale.
In Ron’s opinion, Watson only gave him a passing glance before he moved away. He did not say anything, as if he was disgusted by him. That irritated him a little.
He was a gold-tier warrior. The person in front of him should at least say something to show his respect. He could also use harsh words, such as “You can’t kill me, you’ll be dead” or “Cut the crap, come and fight.”
The child did not say anything; did he think he was farting?
“Since you haven’t prepared your last words, then I can only say I’m sorry.” With a cold snort, the combat aura wings on Ron’s back flapped, and the long saber in his hand turned into a snow-white stream of light that streaked across the sky.
“Since you have not prepared your final words, I can only say that I am sorry.” Ron snorted coldly as the combat aura wings on Ron’s back flapped, and the long saber in his hand had transformed into a snow-white stream of light that streaked across the sky.
“Gold-tier combat technique—Ice Dragon Roar!”
The snowflakes around Ron thickened and floated around him and formed a long ice-colored dragon. No one knew when a dark cloud had appeared in the sky and blocked the sunlight. There was a roaring dragon beneath the dark cloud, and the temperature had dropped a few degrees.
When one’s combat aura was cultivated to its utmost, it could also have magical effects. For the first time, a gold-tier combat aura could change the weather.
When the Mage Guild and the North Wind mercenary group saw the attack, they gasped. They were taken aback. The Blackmoon Knights in the castle appeared to be nervous as well.
Watson, however, did not allow them to act. They would not act recklessly as knights with strict discipline, no matter how anxious they were.
Ron looked around from the corner of his eyes as he released his combat skills. He was pleased with everyone’s reaction. After all, Watson possessed the strength of a platinum-tier elite, so he was extremely cautious. In that attack, he did not hold back. If he were lucky, that attack could cut off Watson’s head and give him 1,000 gold coins.
Only the Golden Flash and Emperor Cluck, who were on the ground, raised their heads and looked up. They lowered their heads quickly and yawned sleepily.
“That person is equipped with a gold-tier battle technique. His weapon appears to be gold-tier as well. It seems that we can’t kill him directly.”
Watson noticed Ron rush up to him after he said those words, and his gaze was drawn primarily to the fighting technique Ron had unleashed.
Despite being a gold-tier warrior, his combat aura had been upgraded due to the fusion system, and he lacked a decent fighting technique. He had planned to wait until he was familiar with Nightingale before learning a few moves from her. Since Nightingale was summoned away by the border count in a hurry, it seemed like that moment was a good time.
If Ron knew Watson was thinking about that when he was under attack, he would be furious.
Watson extended his right hand toward Ron.
“The Source of Chaotic Magic, activate.”
A massive shadow of an evil eye appeared behind him. It emitted a gray light that shot straight into the clouds. The dark clouds in the sky were dispersed because of Ron’s appearance. The huge pillar of light was connected to the sunlight, and it formed an illusory symbol of the primal chaotic element in the sky. It was surrounded by six smaller symbols that represented earth, fire, water, wind, and darkness.
“It’s coming—the new element that changed the world!”
At the location where the Mage Guild had gathered, the astrologer’s hand on his beard suddenly stopped. He yanked a few strands of his beard, and his eyes widened with delight.
The thing that the youth had not used during the battle with him was about to be used.
“That magic does not appear to be weak. I have heard that whenever a new magical element is created, it gains the favor of its source! The reason that youth could cast platinum-tier spells must be related to that source. I wonder if his platinum-tier spells correspond to that element.”
The astrologer believed that witnessing the birth of new magic was akin to seeing the dawn of a new era. Whether he would kill or recruit Watson depended on the strength of his magic. There was no need to enlist Watson if it was a simple magical element.
Ron rushed in front of Watson with his fighting technique while he was deep in his thoughts.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the long ice-colored dragon wrapped around Ron’s body collapsed inch by inch. It quickly devolved into nothingness, as if the world were a blank canvas and Ron was a drawing. An invisible and massive eraser was wiping the colors in the image to create a strange and terrifying scene. Everyone there widened their eyes; they were unable to make a sound.
A few seconds later, the eraser finally brushed against Ron’s body.
The snow-white wings on his back disappeared in an instant, and the skin on his body seemed to have been wiped away. He spat out blood and flew straight in front of Watson, who grabbed him by the neck.
It had only been a few seconds since Ron had attacked and restrained. It was only one move, and the outcome had already been decided.
