My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

“Watson, next time you cast a spell, can you find a place with no one around? I think the Misty Forest is not a bad choice! Blackmoon Castle has only just been established. Are you going to demolish it again?”

Half an hour later…

Watson stood at the castle gate as he endured his father, Edward’s complaints.

“I’m sorry, Father. It’s my fault.”

He put his hands on his stomach; his face was red. He could not defend himself.

He did not expect the fused gold-tier magic would be so powerful. He had felt the same when he saw Folson cast the Silver Serpent on the Raging Sea, a gold-tier spell. It seemed like Folson only had half a gold-tier scroll, so it was not as powerful. Its real force was more terrible than he had imagined.

He had planned to use the fused magic to frighten the mages in Blackmoon Castle; he would stop before the spell could do any damage. He thought he could use the source of chaotic-elemental magic in his body to absorb it.

However, the Humanoid Auto Mine Giant spell came with a self-destructive element. The source of chaotic-elemental magic in his body might not be able to withstand the enormous explosion if he were to absorb it forcefully. It might even be damaged.

According to the legend, there were a dozen sources of magic in the world, but there were only six left, excluding the chaotic elements. It meant that the sources were not omnipotent, and high-intensity vibration could destroy them. Watson also had to remember that he could not let the source accept everything, and he knew that it would be difficult to absorb platinum-tier spells.

He also warned himself that he would not use that particular gold-tier spell unless it was absolutely necessary.

Firstly, the magical elements in his body were not enough to cast gold-tier spells. Its improvement could only be achieved through accumulation over time. Secondly, the spell’s destructive power was too strong. Furthermore, it would not differentiate between friend and foe. If he were to cast it on the battlefield, the spell would kill his allies as well.

“No wonder there are so few high-level elites, and there are only a handful of platinum-tier professionals. The only diamond-tier elite in the kingdom is the sword saint. Perhaps it’s because we need to train for a long period before we can command any destructive power and not destroy anyone else. As expected, I’m still far from becoming a true expert.”

Due to his fusion system, Watson had not been afraid of anyone—he was proud and arrogant. At that moment, he reexamined himself and dispelled that thought.

“Watson, what did you say?”

“Hey, are you in a daze? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Watson was in deep thoughts when he realized that his father, Edward, had waved his hand in front of him.

“Father, I said I was wrong.”

“What? What did you say? Watson, I’m not saying that you should admit it when you’ve made a mistake. Why do you look so relaxed? Do you not take my words seriously? I know that you’re competent now. You’re a gold-tier warrior and a silver-tier mage at such a young age. Oh, no, you’re a gold-tier mage now. But you can’t be arrogant and complacent. You’re even a little worse than my father when I was young…”

Edward scratched his ears and spoke loudly as if he could not hear anything.

Watson had a strange look on his face. Was the vibration too strong and damaged his father’s ears? His father was not an intelligent man, and it seemed like he had become deaf as well. What should he do? It was too pitiful for his mother to have such a husband.

Should he try to fuse some medicine and treat his father’s ears? Blackmoon Castle had accumulated a large number of medicinal ingredients from the other manor’s assets. Therefore, it would not be difficult to fuse some medicine to treat his father’s ears.

“Edward, I told you to go out and have a look at what happened. What are you doing?” At that moment, Watson’s mother, Catherine, appeared. His eldest brother, Vicent, and his seventh sister, Scarlet, also rushed out of the castle.

When she was beside Edward, she grabbed his ear and shouted at the top of her voice. “I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me?”

“I did, Darling. I’m not deaf.” Edward rubbed his ear and complained in dissatisfaction.

Watson heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like his father was not deaf; perhaps the tremors had caused temporary tinnitus.

Scarlet stood behind them, and she observed Watson discreetly. She stuck her tongue out, and she looked shocked. She had been resting in her room when she heard a loud noise from the outside as the entire castle shook. She had thought that it was an earthquake, but after she asked around, she realized that Watson had cast a gold-tier spell.

She marveled at Watson’s strength when she saw the devastation around her and the large, smoking pit on the ground.

As one of the youngest in the family, she was still gloating over her silver-tier longbow, and she was still working hard to become an official archer. On the other hand, Watson had already become a gold-tier warrior and mage. How could there be such a massive gap between them?

Vincent also stared at the ruins around him. He had spent so much effort in rebuilding Blackmoon Castle, and it had collapsed again. The extent of the damage was even worse than when he had fought against the manors’ allied troops. He sighed; he did not even know what else to say about it.

Nindy finally walked out of the castle and went to Watson’s side. She had a conflicted expression on her face.

“Watson, my friends from the Mage Guild said that they would be satisfied if they could stay with Blackmoon Castle as mages. They don’t need any pay, and they don’t even need three Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs—just one egg per week would do.”

All the mages were frightened by Watson’s display of power. He did not only learn the silver-tier water Mine Cannonballs in an instant, but he also fused them into gold-tier magic. They knew they could not afford to offend him.

“Second Sister, tell them I will honor the conditions that I have agreed. As long as they work hard, I won’t mistreat them.”

Watson smiled.

Even though he had gone a little too far, the result was good. He had managed to intimidate those mages.

As for the ruined Blackmoon Castle…

He had already made plans to expand the castle when he seized those manors. Otherwise, it would not be able to accommodate thousands of people.

He would take advantage of the opportunity to build the walls to fit ten more manors; he wanted to make them comparable to Monte Town. They would need to collect more ores from the outside while they build the castle; they would be able to finish it in a month.

It was not an excuse for his mistake; he already had that intention in the first place.

..

Meanwhile, in the Fairy Castle at the border.

Nightingale walked into the magnificent castle. The guards bowed their heads and greeted her respectfully when they saw her.

“Lord Nightingale, Count Sylvan is waiting for you!”

Nightingale responded to those people one by one as she touched her empty waist casually. A small basket hung there, but it did not have any Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs in it.

“No more eggs.” Nightingale smiled bitterly. “I only stayed in Blackmoon Castle for a few days; why do I feel so uncomfortable when I left?”

After the battle between Blackmoon Castle and the manor’s, she had bid them farewell as she had decided to return to the Fairy Castle. Watson had given her 1000 eggs before she left, but she had eaten them all.

Nightingale came to an office door after she passed through the long corridor. Then, she knocked on the solid wood door.

“Come in!”

Nightingale pushed the door open when she heard the dignified voice; she entered the room. She did not look at the gorgeous figure who sat behind the desk; his face was toward her. Nightingale knelt on the ground and said, “Count Sylvan, I’m back.”

“It seems that the test in Blackmoon Castle has ended. So tell me, what do you think?”

“Lord Sylvan…” Nightingale hesitated for a moment before she said, “I think we should send people to Blackmoon Castle to recruit Young Master Watson. We also should make up for the losses that they had suffered in this battle. I have guaranteed that there will be no more tests in the future.”

“Nightingale, you rarely speak so highly of a place. Did you

exaggerate?”

“Yes, Lord Sylvane. I think Blackmoon Castle is worth it.”
