My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 213
Chapter 213: The Distribution of Platinum-tier Items
Watson meekly waved his hand in response to Lilith’s appreciation. “Blackmoon Castle’s appearance is still far from what I had expected. I want Blackmoon Castle to be as indestructible as a mountain. No one would be able to withstand our tremendous strike if we were to attack.
Watson’s words were firm and decisive.
The Pen of Truth flew out of his body as soon as he finished speaking. Sylvan and the others near him took a quick step back and covered their arms, fearful of being drained dry by the pen.
The Pen of Truth was unconcerned about them at the moment. Instead, it curved its shaft toward Watson and wrote a line of blood-red words in midair. [Great Master, according to my humble judgment, everything you said is valid and can be realized! Do you think I am right?]
‘Right, my foot.’
Both Sylvan and Antonio, who had some understanding of the Pen of Truth, ridiculed it in their hearts. Even if the Pen of Truth was treated as the Pen of Disaster, at least its ability to judge lies was absolute; no one would doubt its judgment.
It was no longer the same. Watson’s Pen of Truth was very obedient; it even asked Watson if it were correct. Would the Pen of Truth amend its words if Watson claimed it was wrong?
“Let’s put that aside. The most pressing issue now is dealing with the goldbiter rats outside Blackmoon Town.”
Watson turned to face the exterior of Blackmoon Town. The goldbiter rats had already escaped from Blackmoon Town and began devouring the walls.
Moriarty had destroyed the Dragonspine Snow Mountain half a day before. After consulting with Nightingale and the others, they agreed to let him handle the fused goldbiter rats and use them for hunting the wild goldbiter rats that had escaped from the Dragonspine Snow Mountain. They sent the goldbiter rats toward Blackmoon Castle. They had driven the more than 100,000 goldbiter rats toward Blackmoon Castle.
Watson was terrified of the goldbiter rats after learning that they could spawn more than 100,000 rodents in just a few hours. Without his assistance, the goldbiter rats would have expanded indefinitely, eventually covering the entire border and turning it into a sea of rats.
[Great Master, this place has many thoughtful servants. I will help you choose a few people who can be of use to you. The men named Antonio and Sylvan over there and the Hell Baron Group leader, Lilith. The three of them can help you. Do you think I’m right?]
The Pen of Truth looked like it was asking for a reward as it wrote next to Watson in a very low position.
Antonio, Sylvan, and Lilith were all furious when they saw the writing. Sylvan was the border count. He wanted to solve the goldbiter rat problem for the safety of the border. Antonio, as Watson’s master, would also help them. As for Lilith, as Watson’s subordinate, she was even more obliged to do that.
However, it was up to them to take the initiative to make a move. If the Pen of Truth had to make the arrangements for them, then it was another matter. They felt as if the pen was acting like their superior to arrange the tasks for them. Did the pen expect them to give it some benefits? Why would they do that?
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I have a better idea.”
Watson swept his palm toward the ground after rejecting the Pen of Truth’s idea. He said, “Activate all Blackmoon Town’s rock and lava golems. Blackmoon Castle has entered level one combat mode!”
Boom!
The giant lava golems on the ground, which served as the walls of Blackmoon Town, stood up when he said that—there were hundreds of them. Combined with the giant rock golems that had served as houses, there were thousands of those giant golems.
Each giant golem towered over 100 meters in height. Thousands of 100-meter-tall giants stood like mountains. That was a frightening scene. The rock golems exuded a savage vibe as if they had traveled back in time 10,000 years.
After the giant rock golem stood up, the floating Blackmoon Castle also stopped moving. The black cannon holes on the rock base flickered with light; they were ready to fire.
It was an earth-shattering meteorite cannon!
That was an enormous cannon barrel that extended from the edge of the city into the sky. It launched meteorite-like shells toward the enemy, resulting in an attack comparable to a platinum-tier elite. However, when the attack was launched, the metropolis in the sky could not move.
The goldbiter rats that were outside of Blackmoon Town were initially waiting to consume it. They soon noticed, however, that the wall in front of them had suddenly risen.
There was a saying—more ants can kill an elephant. However, what if there were as many elephants as ants?
Watson pointed his finger at the goldbiter rats and dropped it.
Boom, Boom!
Thousands of platinum-tier rock golems stepped forward at the same time. The earth trembled, and the mountains, particularly the lava golems, rocked. Not only would one stride make a large crater in the ground, but hot lava would also fall from their bodies. Some of the goldbiter rats that were resting on top of them had melted instantly. The bronze-tier goldbiter rats no longer dared to approach the lava golems and began to spread toward the rock golems instead.
The goldbiter rats had not even approached the rock golems when they were crushed to death on the ground. A layer of crimson remains appeared on the ground soon after. Only some silver-tier and gold-tier goldbiter rats managed to fly into the sky, passing between the two types of golems. They headed toward Blackmoon Castle.
There were at least 20,000 goldbiter rats. They were like locusts. They would dive down from a low altitude and devour the corpses of their goldbiter rat buddies on the ground. Their aura grew stronger, and they split into new bodies, resulting in an increase in the number of goldbiter rats.
Their goal was obvious. It was the 100,000 people that remained in Blackmoon Town. After the giant rock golems had left, Blackmoon Town became an empty shell. The refugees in Blackmoon Castle, except for those in it, glanced up at the sky. They looked a little scared.
The locusts in the sky were already terrifying, let alone the goldbiter rats with ferocious faces, snow-white fangs, and scarlet eyes.
“Why are those monsters devouring their own species?”
“It’s too terrifying. But it doesn’t matter. Young Master Watson will protect us.”
Even though the refugees were afraid, none of them moved.
The Blackmoon Castle in the sky lit up as though in response to their expectations. A massive meteor engulfed in flames was fired from the cannon; it ripped a gaping hole in the densely packed goldbiter rats in the sky. Then, it landed on the ground, forming a deep trench surrounded by green smoke.
Then the second, third, and fourth meteors came forth.
More than a hundred meteors streaked past, and the number of goldbiter rats in the sky instantly decreased by more than half. A hint of fear appeared in the eyes of the remaining rats. They were a species that did not fear death and only knew how to devour, but they were afraid because it was a battle where they could not fight back.
The goldbiter rats wanted to leave, but it was too late.
The lava and rock golems bent down one after another and sprang into the air. They opened their massive hands and swatted the silver-tier goldbiter rats in the sky like they were mosquitoes.
A wave of trampling, a wave of bombardment, and the last wave of slapping—in just a few minutes, all the goldbiter rats had vanished. There was not a single one remaining. The rock and lava golems returned to their regular positions after the magical beasts were defeated. The Blackmoon Castle in the sky had also begun to operate again.
There were over 100,000 magical beasts, and there were plenty of silver-tier and gold-tier beasts among them. They were defenseless in front of Blackmoon Castle. Nobody from the castle needed to make a single move.
The castle possessed strong defensive capability. Such a powerful imprint had been etched in everyone’s heart. The refugees were delighted, and their faces beamed with pride. They no longer have to worry about their lives because they can live in such an environment.
Watson directed the giant rock golems to return to their original locations from the skies. They panted slightly, and sweat poured from their brows.
He would not have been able to manage so many rock golems at the same time if he had not advanced to platinum-tier. Despite that, more than half of the magical elements in his body had been depleted.
At that moment, a team of knights in black armor rose into the air and came before him. The leaders were Liszt and Allen.
“Greetings, Young Master Watson,” Liszt and Allen said simultaneously.
A group of maidservants flew out of Blackmoon Castle after the Blackmoon Knights. Capella and Wendy were in the lead, followed by the former high-ranking members of the Demoness Bandit Gang. They moved respectfully to the other side of Watson.
“On behalf of the maidservants, welcome home, Young Master Watson,” Capella said.
Watson’s siblings and parents in Blackmoon Castle stretched their heads out and stared in Watson’s direction. Every time Watson returned home, he would make a significant move. He had slaughtered more than 100,000 magical beasts that day, and that was only a small action.
Watson grinned in satisfaction when he saw the Blackmoon Knights and maidservants unable to hide their enthusiasm behind grave looks. “You have all worked hard to stay in Blackmoon Town these few days. I collected various items from this trip, including ancient ruins, precious ores, medicinal herbs, and magical beast hordes. They are on their way here. I’ll allow you to pick any one of those treasures! In addition, I have prepared a platinum-tier item for each of you!”
A platinum-tier item?
Everyone held their breath as they heard that. Watson said it was one for each of them. Did he bring all of the platinum-tier treasures from all over the world? They thought that Watson’s actions in killing the goldbiter rats had not been too significant. It seemed like he had reserved the powerful ones for later.
