My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Dabble In Everything

“That is a blessing from the gods? You are a platinum-tier mage and a platinum-tier priest?”

The mermaids felt the divine light on their bodies, and they looked incredulous.

“Let’s not talk about that for now. Let’s go.”

Watson did not explain further and walked straight out.

The mermaids looked at each other in dismay. Their bodies were extremely weak due to being trapped in the water tank and fighting with the people on that ship. However, that their strength had recovered to its optimum, they were unafraid of confronting the few gold-tier warriors aboard that ship head-on. That gave them confidence as they dragged the little mermaid along with them.

The ground could no longer support them as the water from the tank had spilled all over it. Their fishtails projected an optical light as they moved, gradually transforming into two smooth thighs covered by a layer of gauze-like long skirts that concealed their private parts.

At that moment, they believed that Watson was there to save them. If Watson had not wanted to help them, he could have subdued them easily with his strength as a platinum-tier dual-class warrior.

“The meat of those girls is quite fragrant. I wonder if the mermaids will eat their food now. They haven’t touched the food we sent them two days ago. If they don’t eat it now, we won’t be able to sell them for a good price. Young Master Casey will be furious.”

As Watson and the others came out of the cabin, two crew members who had just passed by Watson walked out of what appeared to be a kitchen. They were holding a plate of golden-colored fried meat with a delicious aroma.

The two groups of people collided in the cramped cabin; both groups were taken aback.

“Who are you? And aren’t those the mermaids from the water tank? ”

“Despicable thief! You let out the goods that Young Master Casey had caught with great difficulty? You’re courting death.”

The two crew members were the first to react. It would be their responsibility as the person in charge of the cabin if anything happened to the mermaids. If those mermaids had fled, they would be severely punished. They were aware of Young Master Casey’s techniques. One of them kept his hold on the tray while the other dashed toward Watson. A powerful aura unique to gold-tier warriors burst forth from his body.

“Gold-tier combat technique, Wave-treading Mountain Crushing Strike!”

A flood of water-elemental combat aura surrounded the gold-tier warrior. It created a wave beneath his feet, and with every step he took, a puddle of water appeared on the ground. His body also teleported along with the puddle of water, and his aura became stronger with each teleportation. The gold-tier warrior’s aura had reached its apex after nine teleportations.

A sky-blue phantom the size of a small mountain appeared in front of him. If that phantom hit him, it would be the same as if a real mountain hit him. His bones and tendons would definitely break.

The mermaids held their breaths nervously. They assumed a battle stance while they protected the little mermaid. However, before they could make a move, Watson had already taken a step forward.

“Platinum-tier Druid secret skill, Dragon Transformation!”

Light burst forth from Watson’s body, and diamond-shaped scales covered his body and rapidly expanded. In an instant, he had turned into a tiny dragon that was a few meters long. He extended his ferocious dragon head forward and let out an angry roar at the gold-tier crew that was charging toward him.

Roar!

The sound waves spread and destroyed all the cabins in their path. The mountain shade that the gold-tier crew members had conjured immediately fell. Their bodies flew backward and collided with the cabin wall, and left a deep human-shaped hole. Another crew member, who was holding a plate and did not have time to react, foamed at the mouth as he fell to the ground. His pupils had also rolled backward. The dish in his hand dropped to the ground and broke into pieces; golden meat was strewn across the floor.

Then, Watson changed his body and deactivated his dragonification. He clapped his hands as if he had just done a trivial thing.

“Let’s go. What’s wrong?”

After two steps forward, Watson realized that the mermaids were not following him. Instead, they were looking at him strangely, which made him stop in his tracks.

“The Druid secret skill—that’s an archer’s skill. You are a mage and a priest, and you also know the archer’s skills? How many classes are you trained in?”

The mermaid’s voice trembled slightly as she asked that. Judging from the youth’s appearance, he should be only 12 or 13 years old. Since when did a human child have such powerful strength? Humans were not the most powerful of all races. Had they evolved without the sea folks’ knowledge?

“I know a little of the basic skills of every class. I dabble in everything, but I’m not proficient in anything.” Watson smiled modestly.

His remarks led the adult mermaids’ expressions to grow even weirder. If the power of a casual attack could not even be called proficient when compared to a full-strength strike of a platinum-tier elite, then no one in that world could claim to be proficient in their class.

Despite their shock, the mermaids could not help but guess the young man’s identity. The sea folk possessed a fair amount of understanding about humans. They had never heard of such a youthful and powerful human being.

The mermaids followed Watson closely, their emotions tangled. They did not notice the youngest mermaid, who they shielded, was staring at Watson with a weird light in her eyes.

They left the bottom cabin and walked up to the deck. There had been quite an uproar since Watson had turned into a dragon and used his roar to knock the two gold-tier warriors unconscious. There were more than ten people on the deck. The leaders were gold-tier warriors. They were holding long spears, and the row behind them was holding bows and arrows. Their bodies radiated a silver-tier aura as well.

“It’s an attack. Everyone, get ready to release your arrows.”

The ten archers in the rear row immediately stood by and pointed their bows and arrows toward Watson, under the orders of the few gold-tier warriors in the front row. Their entire body flew into the sky before they could make a move.

“Platinum-tier spell, Super Black Hole.”

A black hole emerged in the sky and drew the ten archers up, allowing them to only bounce and scream in mid-air. They were terrified, and their faces were pale.

“That is a platinum-tier spell? The enemy is a platinum-tier mage?”

The gold-tier warriors barely resisted the display, and their expressions turned darkened. Platinum-tier mages were not something they could fight, even if they outnumbered their enemy. They could only shout helplessly. “Who are you? Why are you attacking our ship? This ship is Young Master Casey’s property, and Young Master Casey is the Ptolemy family’s young master!”

“I know.”

“You still dare to do this even if you know about it? The floating city belongs to the Ptolemy family. If you dare to do such a thing here, even if you are a platinum-tier warrior, the Ptolemy family will not let you off—”

“Argh!”

Watson had already teleported in front of the few gold-tier soldiers before they could finish their words. He slashed the gold-tier warriors’ necks a few times, causing them to faint on the ground.

“You guys really talk too much nonsense.”

The mermaids behind Watson put down their hands that were ready to attack—their expressions numb. They thought that the journey to escape from the water tank would be extremely dangerous, but it seemed that they did not need to do anything. Watson could handle all of them by himself.

“The underground river should be connected to the big lake outside. No one can stop you now. You can leave.”

Watson approached the deck’s edge and gazed down. The large ship had already sailed into the floating city’s river. Smaller waterways spread in all directions in front of them. Ships floated on the water’s surface, and there were only a few roads and bridges on land. The floating city’s entire waterways were dedicated to water transportation. It had lived up to its name as a waterway city.

That kind of situation made it easier for the mermaids to leave. It was impossible for an average person to catch the agile mermaids in the intricate canals that extended in all directions.

“We are very grateful to you for saving us. We will definitely repay you if an opportunity arises in the future.”

The mermaids were grateful to Watson. They had brought the youngest mermaid to the deck and were about to jump down when she abruptly turned around and peered at Watson’s face with her huge round eyes. “I have introduced myself, but you have not told me your name, have you?”

Watson was stunned for a moment. “My name is Watson.”

“Watson. Yes, I’ll remember it.”

The little mermaid glanced at him again with considerable trepidation and nodding solemnly. The other mermaids dragged her into the water, where she vanished in a few waves.

Casey’s enormous ship could cruise on the city’s waterways because of his fame. Almost no ships ventured to approach them. Watson had just beaten up the crew without anyone noticing. That was also why Watson felt relieved when the mermaids left.

“I’ll clean up the scene next. But before that…”

Watson left the deck and went to Antonio’s rocking chair. He looked apologetic. “Master, I’m sorry. I couldn’t help but use my platinum-tier power again.”

He had intended to show his gold-tier power and beat up the people on the ship. However, he was angry when he saw that the boat had enslaved other races and even tortured the girls for food. He chose the most brutal and direct method to deal with them.

“It doesn’t matter. After all, it’s to rescue other people. It’s right to do more good deeds. If you do good deeds, you will definitely be rewarded.” Antonio narrowed his eyes and looked at the water surface in the distance. A tiny crystal crown flashed and disappeared in a single moment. Then, he changed the topic. “You have been very restrained in your attacks. If this had happened a few days ago, you would have broken the ship into pieces. It seems like you are improving your control.”

“I owe it to your excellent teaching.”

Watson had not stayed idle for the past week.

He had been practicing the method to control his aura that Antonio had taught him. There would no longer be any earth-shaking phenomena during his future attacks.

“Well, we’ve investigated the strange cries and solved the problem. I wonder how Nightingale is doing?”

Watson looked at the main cabin after the chat with his master.
