My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 546

Chapter 546: The Nine Layers Of Barrier

“Is that light barrier formed by some kind of magic? It’s hard to imagine what kind of magic could release such a huge light barrier. I’ve never heard of it before.”

An elf stared blankly at the protective light barrier in front of him. He subconsciously stretched out his right hand. His right hand immediately transformed into a sharp machete from flesh and blood. The machete grew in the air and became forty meters long, it was several meters wide, and it landed heavily on the light shield.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, a few cracks appeared on the 40-meter-long machete that the elf’s right hand had transformed into. Meanwhile, the starlight barrier did not move at all. It did not even shake once. That powerful defensive power shocked the elves present.

After the elf who had attacked the starlight barrier was upgraded by their race chess piece, they obtained the bloodline of a mythical creature called the Saiya Giant Ape. They possessed the ability to transform their limbs into a weapon comparable to a platinum-tier weapon. At the same time, the weapon touched by it would be enchanted, becoming even more powerful than an ordinary platinum-tier weapon.

A platinum-tier weapon could not shatter the light barrier, which meant that the spell was very likely to be diamond-tier. In addition, the range of that spell could not be seen, and it was connected to the ground from the sky to the ground. No one knew how much area it covered, but it had a range of several hundred kilometers, at least.

It was hard to imagine what kind of person could cast a diamond-tier spell covering a few hundred kilometers. Even Antonio, who had lived for more than 400 years and was known as the greatest mage in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, could cast even one-tenth of that spell. The power in his body would be exhausted.

“What are you standing there for? Get out of my way. A mere layer of magic shield has already stumped all of you. You’re really useless.”

Beta grinned. His arrogant words made it impossible for the elves to refute him. They made way for him.

Pushing the few elves beside him, Beta came to the front of the enormous light barrier. Stretching his shoulders, he extended his right hand. “A barrier of this level, I can probably break it with one hand.”

A thick black fog emerged from Beta’s right hand as he spoke. He held it in his palm and gradually formed a solid black sphere. He ruthlessly threw it in the direction of the light barrier.

“Diamond-tier fighting technique, Death Hole!”

The entire black sphere was formed from the aura of death that he had mastered. The Death Hole was to compress the aura of the dead to the extreme and then explode. Faced with such a powerful aura of death, anyone below platinum-tier would instantly melt into undead creatures or skeletons. Even if the shield in front of him were a diamond-tier shield, it would still be corroded by the aura of death that cracked the wall.

The Death Hole soon collided with the starlight barrier. The black death aura appeared on the surface of the barrier like spots and began to permeate into it, leaving a layer of corrosion marks on it. The corroded areas were expanding.

Beta could not help but smile proudly. “I told you that that starlight barrier was easy to break… Hmm?”

He was suddenly stunned halfway through his sentence. The other elves present were also startled because they saw the protective barrier that Beta had corroded with death magic had healed quickly. The black spots had also disappeared as if they had never appeared before.

“Beta failed?” One of the Elves could not help but exclaim.

“His ability originated from the descendants of the God of Death. He could kill us after we drank the water from the Spring of Life. Why can’t he break through that protective barrier?”

Even though he could counter the effects of water from the Spring of Life, he could not break through the protective barrier. Did that mean the attributes of the protective barrier in front of him were even stronger than water from the Spring of Life? The water from the Spring of Life was a supreme treasure passed down by the elven race since ancient times. Only Beta, who had mastered the power of death, could counter its effects. That was because Beta’s ability originated from a god. Was the power in the light barrier also at the level of a god? How was that possible?

“A mere barrier can withstand my attack? It seems like I have underestimated my opponent! However, I did not use my full strength just now. That attack was only ten percent of my strength. Next, I will use all of my strength.”

After explaining, Beta’s expression became serious as he looked at the defensive barrier in front of him.

“Peak diamond-tier fighting technique, Hundred-layered Death Ray!”

He pressed his palms together and extended his arms. Light erupted from the hands in front of him. Countless black lights flew out and turned into straight black arrows that fell toward the starlight barrier. The black arrows made a clear sound as they landed on the barrier. They began to pollute the barrier into black color. However, that process lasted slightly longer than before. The same thing happened during Beta’s last attack.

The starlight barrier repelled the arrows, but it was unharmed.

“Peak diamond-tier fighting technique, Death’s Scythe!”

“Peak diamond-tier fighting technique, Playing the Death Knell…”

After releasing several different fighting techniques in succession, a pitch-black cloak appeared on Beta’s body, and a huge pitch-black scythe appeared in his hand. A crack appeared in the air in front of him with just a light slash, or a huge death knell appeared beside him. The death knell let out a loud bang, and rolling black fog spread in all directions along with the sound waves. It was mixed with the roars of countless ghosts; the other elves’ faces were pale.

However, regardless of whether it was death’s sickle or other diamond-tier battle techniques, none of them had any reaction after bombarding the starlight barrier. At first, the other elves were still surprised by Beta’s powerful strength as elves who had also obtained the power of the race chess pieces had strength similar to a platinum-tier mythical creature. However, Beta’s strength was at peak diamond-tier, and he even grasped the power of a god. It was completely different from their level.

It was precisely because the difference in strength was so significant that they could only endure it even if Beta showed off in front of them. However, it seemed like Beta’s strength was also like that. Beta was unable to open the barrier with all his strength. At most, a few cracks would appear on the outer shell of the barrier. If they worked hard, it seemed like they would be able to do it as well.

“Beta is not as powerful as he claims.”

Many elves whispered. Even though their voices were soft, they still reached Beta’s ears. Those words stung his self-esteem.

He wanted to be strong. His usual pride was only on the surface. The real him liked to stand above tens of thousands of people and admire the looks of respect and fear of others. However, that was Beta in the assassination team; there was an even stronger Alpha above him, making him very unhappy.

He was the leader of the assassination team at that moment, and it was his own request to capture Watson. If he could complete the mission successfully, he would be promoted by His Majesty due to his outstanding contributions. He might be able to upgrade from his position as Beta to Alpha. He was about to succeed, so how could he give up because of a small barrier?

“The bloodline of the God of Death has been fully activated. Descend, ancient creatures that were once buried under the earth!” Beta shouted.

His eyes had turned pure black, while his pupils turned red. Then, the muscles on his body were covered by the black fog and expanded. He went from being about two meters tall to almost five meters tall in a short time.

Bone spikes pierced through the clothes on his body, turning into heavy armor with a mask. There were also barbs growing on the back of the bone armor, and a sickle-shaped tail swayed behind him.

In just a few seconds, Beta had revealed his true appearance as a descendant of the God of Death. The earth began to shake as he transformed, and several skeleton arms stretched from the ground. Pale and sharp fingernails tore through the ground, leaving deep ravines. Those skeletal hands that had been flipped out were densely packed. Looking down from above, the entire ground was covered in skeletons.

Some of the skeletons had torn clothes hanging from their bodies, and they had rusty iron swords and shields in their hands. There were also some skeletons with powerful auras. They seemed to have been strong when they were alive. Those skeletons were not only humans’ but also of other races. The deeper they went into the ground, the bigger and more powerful the skeletons became. At first, the skeletons were only as strong as iron-tier elites, but later, those with silver and gold-tier strength had appeared. There were even a few dragon bones that were more than 100 meters in size, and they gave off a platinum-tier aura.

From its birth, that land had experienced countless years. There were already 12 eras after the mythological era. During those 12 eras, countless dead had been buried in that land for more than 10,000 years. At that moment, those undead were all summoned by Beta with the power of death.

Countless powerful skeletons quickly filled the interior of the light barrier. The swords in their hands or the white bone claws clawed fiercely into the barrier. They forcefully tore a crack on the starlight barrier that even diamond-tier elites could not break.

“That barrier seems to be indestructible, right? Didn’t I still manage to open it?”

Beta, who had transformed into a monster, let out an ear-piercing laugh that reverberated within the bone armor. After laughing for a few seconds, he suddenly realized that something was wrong because the elves around him did not cheer. Instead, they had strange expressions on their faces; their gazes landed on the torn barrier.

Subconsciously, he looked over and discovered another layer of starlight barrier within the barrier that he had torn apart. Furthermore, through the starlight barrier, he could vaguely see several similar layers within. That nearly made him nearly vomit blood.

“How could that be?”

He had used almost all his strength to summon the bones of an ancient elite to break through the barrier. Who would have thought that that barrier was only the first layer? It was not supposed to play out like that.
