Chapter 214: Diamond Star Dragon and Frost Phoenix

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A long line of magical beasts had returned outside Blackmoon Town, carrying many valuable plants and ores on their backs. Many of those plants and ores were of the platinum tier. They were the results of Watson’s fusion with more than half of the Misty Forest some time ago.

Watson had intended to leave the platinum-tier ores and herbs which he had fused at the Misty Forest. He had wanted to wait until the supplies in Blackmoon Town were depleted before heading out to get them. However, he changed his mind due to the goldbiter rats.

The goldbiter rats could eat everything in their path. If they did not carry those goods back to Blackmoon Castle, they would be gone in a matter of days.

Aside from the boulders and medicinal herbs carried by the magical beasts, the team was surrounded by several giant rock golems. They were in groups of two or three, each with a massive piece of the ancient ruin. Some of the ruins covered thousands of meters, forming a gigantic ball. On top of that, there were several honeycomb-shaped holes. Some of the ruins were inverted triangles, and monstrous roars could be heard from within. There were also other remains that resembled palaces.

Buildings might represent an era’s aesthetic. Buildings from different times would look entirely different.

Most of the ruins that Watson had excavated were buildings that were more than 500 years old. They were not considered ancient. Only a few structures had a history that dated back more than a thousand years.

Watson stood above the floating Blackmoon Castle and delivered platinum-tier stuff to the people around him as the magical beasts and giant rock golems were transporting the supplies.

“Every Blackmoon Knight will have a Wish for the World ring. This ring can grant your wish, and you only have to pay half the amount! Aside from the Blackmoon Knights, all maids and official employees in residence will also get a ring.”

As he talked, Watson passed the rings that dripped with starlight to the Blackmoon Knights and maids in front of him.

Those rings were created with Antonio’s lifespan. His master, who had become young as a result of his prior wish, appeared old again. The Blackmoon Knights and maids stared at him.

The residents of Blackmoon Castle did not recognize Antonio because he had looked young when he arrived. They wondered about that attractive man’s identity. Lilith, the female Hell Baron, also confused them. She had a fragile appearance, but she had looked at them and said, “These folks are so feeble. Are they your lowly servants, Master?”

The Blackmoon Knights did not say anything because they could feel the platinum-tier aura from Lilith’s body, but the maids were a different story.

Lilith was attractive and powerful. She was simply the ideal maid candidate, and that gave Capella and Wendy, who were in the lead, a glint in their eyes. Young Master Watson had brought such a powerful woman back with him; they thought their position was threatened.

Watson had already distributed the rings to everyone while they were in deep thoughts. He gave Antonio a friendly smile and said, “Thank you for your efforts, Master. You are willing to put your life on the line to make these rings for me.”

“Why are you so courteous with me? It’s my duty to do that.” Antonio waved his hand.

“I will not be courteous then since it is your wish! Actually, I think everyone who has joined Blackmoon Castle should also get a ring; what do you think, Master?”

“That should be fine.”

Antonio nodded. A wish with the Wish for the World ring would require him to give up some years from his lifespan. He could wish for 20 rings with every 10,000 years of his life. If Watson were to help him regain those years, the number would be lowered to ten rings. In other words, ten rings would not affect him. It would only cause him to suffer the agony of having his lifespan reduced by 10,000 years.

There were a few thousand workers in Blackmoon Castle. Even though it sounded like it was a lot, it was not too much. He could bear it.

“When all of the workers have received the rings, then we would do the same with the refugees who had just joined us. We don’t have that many yet, but the number might increase in the future. We must prepare those rings in advance.”

Watson counted on his fingers, but he was interrupted by Antonio before he could continue. “What are you doing, Watson? You want to equip everyone in Blackmoon Castle with platinum-tier rings? Do you want me to die?”

It was one thing to make thousands of Wish for the World rings for those people, but there were more than 100,000 people in Blackmoon Town. He could only make ten at a time, which meant that he had to endure the torture of losing tens of thousands of years. He shuddered when he thought about the pain.

“I understand how painful that must be for you, Master, but there is no other way for Blackmoon Castle to grow stronger. And I won’t let you work for free. In return, I’ll give you a certain amount of compensation.”

Watson’s thoughtful response tempted Antonio. “What kind of compensation?” he inquired nervously.

He would not have taken Watson’s statements seriously if it had been in the past. Even if he was not the wealthiest mage in the kingdom, he had amassed a sizable fortune. What could Watson possibly give him?

However, he realized Watson could provide him with a lot of things. Watson could create a rare platinum-tier item easily, as well as fusing high-quality magical beasts and even servants. If Watson could give him a few hundred platinum-tier items, he might let Watson consume his lifespan.

“I want to give you this as compensation.”

Watson floated in the air and pointed at the giant rock golems and magical beasts that were moving relics and large amounts of resources to the outside of the town of Blackmoon. They passed by the place where the goldbiter rats had been destroyed; they were stepping on pools of blood. However, not a single magical beast or giant rock golem lowered their heads; it was as if they were already used to such a scene.

“Watson, are you going to give me those magical beasts or the things on their bodies?” Antonio asked; he was somewhat puzzled.

“Neither. I’m going to give you the things after I’ve fused them.” Watson extended his finger and pointed it toward the outskirts of Blackmoon Town. “System fusion, activate.”

Hundreds of thousands of magical beasts outside the town instantly transformed into gigantic sheets of light and flew into the sky as soon as his voice fell.

About half of the light wrapped around the Golden Flash’s body, forcing it to swell in size and let out a tremendous roar as the Platinum Dragon King. Its body had grown from more than a hundred meters to more than two hundred meters in a matter of seconds. The scales on its body had also changed from platinum to shimmering diamonds.

Its torso was encased in diamond-like armor, and its massive wings spread out to engulf the sky and the sun. The Golden Flash roared, causing heaven and earth to tremble. Initially, there was only a blood-red moon in the sky, but after a short time, stars appeared around it. Starlight fell and landed on the Golden Flash’s body, forming a gorgeous nebula that encircled it.

[Congratulations, Master, for fusing a large number of magical beasts, successfully allowing the Golden Flash to break through the boundaries of the Platinum Dragon King and become the higher-level Diamond Star Dragon.]

[The Diamond Star Dragon is a diamond-tier magical beast.]

[Attributes: Earth, fire, water, wind, light, and darkness.]

[Gold-tier spells: Sun Rays, Raging Firestorm, War Stomp, Earth Pulse, Death Curse, Darkness Corrosion, Lethal Poison.]

[Platinum-tier spells: Ninth-tier Blazing Dragon Breath, Absolute Zero.]

[Diamond-tier spells: Super Planet Collision (creates two stars to collide, producing the Star Destruction’s power), Meteor Banishment (creates a meteor that can seal the enemy and send it into outer space for eternal banishment).]

[Additional abilities: Super Magic Immunity, complete physical resistance, draconic magic, Zoom, Camouflage, Dragon Might, Star Creation (consumes a large amount of energy to create a new star in the sky).]

“After fusing with hundreds of thousands of high-quality magical beasts, the Golden Flash has advanced to the diamond tier. It’s pretty much what I had expected.”

As the Golden Flash roared, information appeared in Watson’s eyes.

At the same time, the other half of the magical beasts morphed into a ray of light that encircled Emperor Cluck’s body as it flew into the sky. Its body stretched to more than a hundred meters as it roared, and its entire body was engulfed in heavenly white flames. A wave of good fortune was born. Snowflakes fell from the sky and dropped onto its body, but they did not melt. Instead, they flowered into ice crystal blooms.

[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing the hybrid Phoenix into a pure-blooded Phoenix.]

[Peak Platinum-tier magical beast, Ice Phoenix]

[Attributes: fire, ice.]

[Abilities: possesses the strength of a platinum-tier magical beast.]

[Gold-tier spells: Firestorm, Fire Sweep, Dance of the Phoenix, Ice Spear Sweep.]

[Platinum-tier spells: Fire of the Red Lotus that purifies everything, Absolute Zero.]

[Additional effects: production (produces 100 pure-blood Phoenix eggs every day. The first consumption of these eggs will allow one to awaken dual-attribute combat aura of ice and fire, obtain the bloodline of the Frost Phoenix, and have a chance of rebirth), rebirth (resists fatal injuries and resurrects), complete resistance to fire magic, flight, transformation, the might of the Phoenix (has a deterrent effect on bird-elemental magical beasts), and Phoenix Tears (the tears shed by the Phoenix can heal injuries, and are a rare platinum-tier material).]

“That’s right. Emperor Cluck is also upgraded.” Watson nodded in gratification.

He had planned to transform Emperor Cluck from a hybrid Phoenix to a pure-blooded Phoenix. Even though he had lost the magical beast that he had painstakingly fused at the Misty Forest, he did not consider it a total loss.

After it evolved into a real Phoenix, Emperor Cluck could lay a hundred eggs daily. It could allow a hundred people to awaken their ice and fire dual-attribute battle auras. At the same time, consuming the Phoenix egg could let a person be reborn. It was equivalent to a god-tier life-saving item.

“Watson, you said that you would give the fused items to me. Do you intend to give one of those two magical beasts to me?” Antonio stared at the sky and licked his lips; he felt a little thirsty.

It looked like the nebula-covered diamond-tier Golden Flash was even more powerful than Antonio. Even the pure Frost Phoenix’s Emperor Cluck was enough to make him keep his eyes on it. Any one of those two magical beasts would attract everyone’s envy. He breathed heavily when he thought about how he could ride the Frost Phoenix or the Diamond Stardust Dragon as the residents below worshiped him.

If Watson were willing to give him one of those two magical beasts, he would be willing to spend 100,000 or even a million lifetimes, let alone a mere 10,000 years, to help Watson make the Wish for the World rings.

With his heart full of beautiful fantasies, Antonio was startled to see Watson shake his head as he apologized. “Please accept my apologies, Master. Those two enchanted monsters are not for you. I haven’t fused it yet!”

It was not the case.

While Antonio was filled with regret, he grew increasingly interested in what Watson would fuse next. He had fused a diamond-tier dragon and a pure-blooded Phoenix with a mere lift of his palm. He had no idea what Watson would do next.
