My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 317

Chapter 317: The Second Person To Clear The Level

Boom!

Boom!

The wind whistled, and the sound of blades colliding rose and fell.

The stairway temple had become a sea of sword qi. The 200 Holy Sword adventurer team members hid far away as they watched the battle between Christina and the sword saint clone.

“Who do you think will win the battle between Lady Swordmistress and the Sword Saint’s clone?” A member of the adventurer team asked in a low voice with a nervous expression.

A person next to him shook his head; his expression was similarly unsightly. “Even though Lady Swordmistress’s talent is outstanding, that is the Sword Saint’s projection. He did not become the number one person in the Holy Dragon kingdom for hundreds of years for nothing. It has been almost an hour since the battle started, and Lady Swordmistress has been at a disadvantage for the whole duration. I think that it won’t be long before she is defeated.”

On the stairs, hundreds of meters away from them, Christina was battling with the yellow-haired young Sword Saint, Reid. Christina had lost the Sky Severing Blade, so she was using an ordinary silver-tier longsword. However, her opponent was using a black-and-white peak gold-tier weapon.

Those black-and-white swords were also very famous in the kingdom’s history. It had accompanied Reid for many years—its name was the Holy Swords of Light and Darkness. When the Holy Sword of Light slashed out, half of the temple turned into day, and when the Holy Sword of Darkness slashed out, the other half of the temple turned into night. A thick black fog filled the air, corroding the sturdy stairs.

As the strongest person in the kingdom, the Sword Saint used both light and darkness-elemental combat auras. That was also the foundation for him to become the number one elite in the kingdom. Christina only inherited the talent of cultivating the light-elemental combat aura. Christina pursed her lips and faced the light and darkness-elemental combat auras. She cried out bitterly in her heart. The thin sword in her hand had many cracks.

A silver-tier weapon was ultimately unable to withstand an attack of a platinum-tier elite. It shattered into pieces after it withstood dozens of attacks.

“Quickly! Prepare a new weapon for me.”

Christina took the opportunity to increase the distance between them before she called out to a member, who immediately drew the weapon on his waist and threw it into her hand.

Then, Christina continued to fight against the Sword Saint’s clone. A light-elemental domain appeared beneath her feet, and blades of light rose into the air and danced in front of her. “Peak Platinum-tier battle technique, Triple Infinite Sword Slash!”

Then, each of the light blades in front of her split into three identical weapons. They formed a spiral shape and entangled with each other as they rose into the air. Following that, they fell like meteors, striking the ground beneath Reid’s feet without any distinction.

The blades collided with the ground, leaving a series of meandering cracks behind. Gravel flew everywhere. The power of each blade was no less than that of a small meteorite.

That move was a technique that Christina had optimized after her battle with Watson. Compared to the Infinite Sword Slash that she had used previously, that move could unleash three times the power. However, the opponent she faced could resolve such a powerful move easily.

“Aurora!”

The Reid clone stretched his right hand behind his back and grabbed the hilt of the Holy Sword of Light. He unsheathed half of the sword’s blade. The light flashed and disappeared. An extreme ray of light appeared before him and pierced through the layers of light that Christina had released. It shattered them into pieces, and the entire temple lit up.

His action had been too quick, so everyone could only see a part of Reid’s action when he unsheathed the sword. Some people even thought that Reid did not even draw his sword at all.

“Eternal Night!”

Immediately after that, the Reid clone placed his hand on the other holy sword and drew it. He slashed at the air.

If the Aurora method was a straight line that stretched endlessly, then the Eternal Night was a circle covering a large area. As the sword fell, a thick black fog spread and turned everything in sight into darkness. Even the temple was dyed black. After that, a large part of the sturdy temple and the massive stone pillars that were a few hundred meters tall had disappeared.

No matter what kind of attack Christina released, Reid’s response would always be one sword, but his one sword was better than countless swords.

“Miss Christina, please continue to work hard to advance further in your progress. Your current state is far from a match for the sword saint’s projection! I have a small question. I don’t know if you can answer it for me. It is obvious that you know how powerful Sword Saint Reid is, so why didn’t you choose Watson’s projection as your opponent instead?”

At that moment, Christina’s clone had turned into a white-robed girl. The girl’s face was as smooth as a mirror. There were no facial features on her face. All that was left was a swirling vortex. That was the true appearance of the self-consciousness that was born from the World Transformation Mirror.

Christina continued to retreat as she gritted her teeth. “Because to me, that is the best solution.”

If the projection in front of her was not the sword saint from decades ago, but her father then, she would have definitely chosen Watson’s projection. After all, as Reid’s daughter, she knew better than anyone else how powerful her father was. However, the clone in front of her was based on her father from decades ago. She thought that the younger version of her father should not be as strong as Watson.

There was no reason for her to make such a choice. She only felt that way after the battle with Watson a few days ago. Even her father could not have become a platinum-tier elite at 12 or 13 years old. Just from that point alone, she thought that Watson was a monster. Plus, Watson still had some things that she had not understood.

Since she wanted to win, she might as well choose a familiar opponent that she could beat.

“Miss Christina, I can’t comment on your choice, but I have to say that it’s not a good one,” the World Transformation Mirror girl said. Her words immediately ignited the emotions of some Holy Sword adventurer team members.

“See, I told you Lady Swordmistress should have chosen to fight Watson, but in the end, she insisted on choosing the Sword Saint!”

“If she had chosen Watson, she would have won a long time ago. I don’t know why Lady Swordmistress is always fond of that young man. Not only did she want to bring him with her when exploring the dungeon, but she even avoided him in battles. Is it because he is Master Antonio’s disciple?”

“Watson is Antonio’s disciple, and the sword saint is an elite on par with Antonio. From that point alone, we know to choose the child. Lady Swordmistress is too rash. I wonder if we still have a chance to make a new choice?”

Dissatisfaction filled the Holy Sword adventurer team. After all, their lives had been entrusted to the swordmistress. However, Christina had made such a reckless move. Naturally, they felt uncomfortable about it.

While they were complaining, the battle situation had changed. Reid suddenly pulled out the two holy swords on his back at the same time. The two blades collided in front of him. Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted.

“The strongest combat technique at the peak of platinum-tier, Light and Darkness Reincarnation!”

Light and darkness were perfectly fused at that moment, and it created an incomparable power. All the stone pillars in the surrounding area broke, and the entire temple collapsed. It gave people the illusion that they were about to fall from the sky to the ground.

Boom!

Even the Holy Sword adventurer team members who were quite far away were blown away in the face of that dreadful explosion. They fell to the ground, their faces covered in dust. Christina, who was at the epicenter of the blast, was covered in blood. Her clothing had been torn to shreds. The Reid clone appeared in front of her, half crouching on the ground. He clasped his two swords around her neck.

“I’m sorry, Miss Christina. You’ve lost. From now on, you, your subordinates, and everyone’s thoughts will belong to me.”

The World Transformation Mirror girl clapped her hands and said that in a relaxed tone.

“It’s over. It’s all Lady Swordmistress’ fault for choosing the Sword Saint. We’re all going to die with her.”

The Holy Sword adventurer team members climbed up from the ground. Their faces were pale and filled with despair.

“I just want to ask.” Christina raised her head with difficulty and stared at the girl in the distance. “You said that my father’s clone was the wrong choice. What about Watson? Would he have been a good choice?”

“How should I put it? That would be the worst choice,” the girl replied after hesitating for a moment.

“I see. It seems like I did not make the wrong choice then.”

Christina closed her eyes and waited for death. She had done everything right—her conscience was clear. She had done her best. In that situation, she was still not a match for any of the clones. She could only face death.

After a few seconds, the intense pain that she had imagined did not come. Instead, a familiar young voice sounded behind her.

“What? I have passed the trial. Why hasn’t this arcane realm disappeared? Furthermore, why are so many of you here? Are you holding some secret meeting? Why is it so lively here?”
