My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

“Lord Astrologer?”

Ron’s body stiffened. He turned his head with difficulty and stared at the person not far behind him.

The astrologer’s robe was tattered and stained with blood. However, his neck was intact, and an invisible force lifted his hair and beard. They twisted and floated upward; he looked mighty without anger. In his hand was a magic staff inlaid with sun gems.

“Lord Astrologer, you’re not dead. I knew you wouldn’t die. I begged for mercy while waiting for you to wake up! Please punish the people of Blackmoon Castle immediately. They killed Audrey and killed many of the mercenary group members. You must avenge their deaths.”

Ron looked at the dried blood on the ground and then looked at the astrologer, who was not dead. He felt relieved.

As the oldest mage in the kingdom, how could he die so easily? No matter what method the astrologer used to resurrect himself, since the astrologer was not dead, Ron did not have to bow his head to the Blackmoon Castle anymore.

“Lord Astrologer, please take action and avenge President Audrey!”

The second person to stand up was Martin. He clenched his fists in righteous indignation; his eyes were bloodshot. “Blackmoon Castle has done many evil deeds and killed my beloved. My hatred for them is like the river water of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. There’s no end to it!”

“Please take action, Lord Astrologer!” Another person stood up.

“Lord Astrologer, avenge us!”

The rest of the men stood up one after another and made their stand clear. They would submit to Blackmoon Castle if the old man were dead. Since the astrologer was alive, there was no need for them to stay as slaves.

Of course, they did not go too far. After all, the astrologer had just died. Who knew if he were a match for Watson or not? What if he were to die again?

“I had wanted to find a way out of Blackmoon Castle, but holding back would only make people want more. Forget it; I’ll just show my true strength.”

The astrologer turned his head toward Watson. His hair and beard kept twisting and floating upward as if an invisible force supported them. “Young man, you’re not the only one with a platinum-tier item. The staff in my hand is also a platinum-tier item! Its name is the Sun Moon Divine staff. You might think that it’s a divine artifact used to enhance magic, but in fact, it’s a sealing item used to seal my power.”

“What did you say?” Watson’s pupils constricted.

“Remove seal.”

As soon as the astrologer’s voice fell, layers of magic rings appeared on the Sun Moon Divine staff. Those magic rings were so dense and dazzling; each ring was engraved with complicated and profound words. Then, the magic rings shattered, and a violent aura gushed from the staff and entered the astrologer’s body.

Then, there was a second wave, a third wave; there were hundreds of waves. Each wave was as strong as a platinum-tier elite.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the wrinkles on the astrologer’s face disappeared rapidly. His hunched body gradually grew taller. His shriveled skin seemed as if it was inflated. He quickly changed from a skinny old man to a handsome young man with a strong and handsome face. His platinum hair gave off a gentle luster, and one could hear the elves’ faint laughter around him.

“It’s been a long time since I released all my power to enter his form. It’s been almost four hundred years. I really miss it.” The astrologer, who had become handsome, spoke in a gentle and deep voice as he lowered his head and stroked the staff in his hand.

At that moment, the gems on the Sun and Moon staff dulled. The entire staff looked like an ordinary branch. On the branch, where the astrologer touched, were a few words engraved in Elvish characters. If one looked close enough, one could see that the words on the staff were Vivian.

Watson looked at the scene in front of him in shock. He wanted to ask why the astrologer had looked so handsome. It was one thing to get resurrected, but how did he return to his youthful self?

The astrologer, who had returned to his youth, gave off an aura that was a hundred times stronger than before, and it made everyone tremble.

“Young man, let me tell you a secret.” He put down his hand that was stroking his staff. The astrologer raised his head and looked at Watson with a loving gaze filled with wisdom and all-encompassing things. “In the Southern Elf Kingdom’s Eternal Forest, there is a spring called the Spring of Life. Legend has it that one sip of the spring water there will give you the power of immortality. The price is that one’s strength would be fixed the moment they consumed the water.”

“Do you know that I have taught countless elites over the past four hundred years, and some of my students are already platinum-tier mages, while I will remain in the platinum-tier forever? That’s because I drank the water of life four hundred years ago. My time will always remain there.”

As if he had thought of something, the astrologer’s gaze became more and more gentle, accompanied by a trace of nostalgia. “Alright, people are willing to nag when they get older. I think you are tired of listening to my confessions. Let’s end this quickly. ”

“Great Sin Mask, activate the Great Sin Beast transformation.”

The astrologer’s words were very gentle, but they made Watson’s heart beat faster. He could not help but touch the mask on his face, wanting to transform into the Beast of Greed, Mammon, which symbolized greed. Mammon had the power of wealth and good luck. Since he did not know the strength of the astrologer after his transformation, it was undoubtedly an excellent decision to increase his own luck.

However…

“Young man, I have already witnessed the power of the Great Sin Beast. If you succeed in your transformation, you will enter a bitter battle again. You should not activate it at this time.” The voice came from behind him, and Watson’s eyes narrowed. He noticed that the astrologer opposite him had turned into a shadow and disappeared. Then, the real astrologer appeared behind him and patted his shoulder.

Watson’s transformation into the Great Sin Beast was cut short by the sound of something breaking in his body. Even the Great Sin Mask felt a threatening power that shrank into his soul as a thick Black Fog emerged from his body, and the fog shrank back into his body at an even faster rate. No matter how much he called out, there was no response.

“Chaotic-elemental Magic, activate.”

Since he could not count on the Great Sin Mask, Watson gritted his teeth and detonated the chaotic-elemental magic in his body. The energy of nearly ten platinum-tier champions exploded in an instant like a volcano’s eruption. In the end, the astrologer had to press on his abdomen.

It was like needles had pricked all over him. Watson felt that the chaotic-elemental magic had become scattered and could no longer be mobilized.

‘I should have known that a platinum-tier elite would not be that weak. D*mn it, I was too irresponsible.’

Watson’s entire body went limp as he fell to the ground. The astrologer caught him with one hand.

He had powerful strength, but he was unable to use it. Regret welled in his heart. How did he determine that he had killed the astrologer? He had relied on platinum-tier tools and the assistance of the magical power source to achieve that. The astrologer was also a platinum-tier veteran who had been stuck in that tier for hundreds of years. In terms of trump cards, he definitely had more than Watson.

A true platinum-tier elite was not someone a dabbler like him could defeat. Even though he had constantly reminded himself not to be arrogant because of his strength, he still did it because of things that had gone too smoothly, and he had obtained extraordinary equipment.

“That’s it, Lord Astrologer. Kill him!”

“After we kill him, we’ll get everyone from Blackmoon Castle and torture them. We’ll cut off their flesh one by one and then let them bleed to death under the sun.”

The people from the Mage Guild and the North Wind mercenary group were excited when they saw that the astrologer had easily defeated Watson after his transformation.

“Stop, put down Young Master Watson!”

Roar!

Dozens of Blackmoon Knights charged toward Watson from the castle. The exhausted Golden Flash and Emperor Cluck also struggled to straighten their huge bodies and roared.

The astrologer only waved his arm, and the ground broke open. Colorful flowers spread out with him in the center, instantly transforming the area of a few kilometers into a flower field. The flowers wrapped around the Blackmoon Knights, the Golden Flash, and Emperor Cluck. The astrologer let them close their eyes peacefully and laid on the ground.

He defeated the resistance with one move, but the astrologer’s expression was still calm.

Watson smelled the flowers, and he also felt drowsy. The constant shouts and curses from the Mage Guild kept him from falling asleep. “No, I can’t sleep yet. If I sleep, no one will be able to protect my family and friends.”

“Young Man, don’t worry. No one will die today. If you want to ask why…”

The Astrologer’s magnetic voice rang in his ears. “I’ve said that I have high hopes for you. Now, I’ll ask you again. Do you want to become my disciple? Rather than asking, I’d say that I’d like to ask you to become my disciple. After you become my disciple, everything you’ve done before, including killing me, will be written off. Are you willing to do that?”

‘Is the astrologer for real?’

The vicious curses that continued to come from their surroundings stopped abruptly. Everyone from the Mage Guild was stunned. Watson also sat up from the astrologer’s embrace with a strange expression.

“Hmm?”
