Chapter 320: Did You Create This Dragon As Well?

“Hmm? Why is there still one in the sky that hasn’t been fused?”
Watson looked up at the sky and realized that the clones had disappeared, but the World Transformation Mirror girl was still there. As he muttered to himself, he stretched his right hand toward the sky.
His exploration of the underground maze had been fruitful as he had managed to obtain such a powerful ability like the Einherjar’s body. As for the trial reward that the World Transformation Mirror had mentioned, he no longer cared about it. He might as well fuse the World Transformation Mirror.
However, before he could activate the system, the World Transformation Mirror girl suddenly flew down from the sky and landed in front of him. Christina and the Holy Sword adventurer team members were nervous; they did not know what the World Transformation Mirror would do next.
Plop!
Suddenly, the World Transformation Mirror girl dropped to her knees in front of Watson. “Respected Master Watson, not only did you pass the trial, but you also broke my punishment. Your strength is truly extraordinary. I have decided to offer myself to you as a reward. From now on, I belong to you.”

What?
Everyone was in disbelief when they heard that. They knew that they would receive a substantial reward when they cleared the trial, but they had not anticipated that the award would be the World Transformation Mirror. It made no sense. Watson was not the first person to clear it. If that were the reward, the sword saint would have received the World Transformation Mirror decades ago after clearing the trial.
The World Transformation Mirror girl was still kneeling. The vortex on her face spun slowly. If she had any facial features, the expression on her face at that time would undoubtedly be nasty.
She also felt very helpless. Watson had destroyed years of accumulated knowledge with a single strike. Initially, those clones were part of her knowledge, but she had completely forgotten about them. It was as if the experience she had accumulated had become a part of Watson.
As a diamond-tier item that had existed for hundreds of years, she had never seen such a method. Even the sword saint who had defeated her decades ago could only suppress her strength but did not affect her at all; losing hundreds of years of accumulation was unsettling, but she did not wish to die. She had a feeling that if she did not beg for mercy, she would end up in a terrible state.
Watson’s face lit up when he heard the World Transformation Mirror’s words. He was on the verge of fusing the mirror, but he had not anticipated the other side taking the initiative to acknowledge him as its master.
“What use are you to me? Why should I accept you?”
Watson had never had a favorable opinion of a sentient tool. He even had the Pen of Truth to serve as an example.
What?
Christina’s lips twitched. If she could, she would interrupt Watson. It was already remarkable that the World Transformation Mirror had acknowledged him as its master. She did not expect Watson to reject it. It was a diamond-tier item, and it was not something an ordinary person would refuse.
“Honorable Master Watson, the reason I stayed in the underground city and arranged trials for others is to wait for a suitable master! It’s a pity that the people I have met over the years have not been able to satisfy me until I saw you. Your brilliance is like the sun and the moon in the sky. You are stronger than any other person in the world. A glance at your appearance caused me to be deeply intoxicated. There are as many reasons as you would like, but first, let me introduce my advantage.”

The Holy Sword adventurer team members stared at the World Transformation Mirror girl, who said unhurriedly, “I’m very useful. First of all, I can clone anyone below diamond-tier. I use it to train my subordinates! At the same time, I can also teleport you to any place on the continent. You won’t have to worry about getting lost when you venture outside, and you don’t have to consider the distance of the journey. Isn’t that convenient?”
If the World Transformation Mirror had not stated her purpose in front of everyone, they would have assumed that was what she thought.
‘The World Transformation Mirror is a simp.’

Everyone else had the same thought, but they could understand why she would behave like that. They would certainly do the same if they were the World Transformation Mirror, especially after witnessing Watson destroy millions of clones.
“You have a point. Alright, I’ll accept you, albeit reluctantly. But before that, we have to sign a contract.”
Watson stretched his hand outward and wrote a contract in the Luen language in midair. That was a priest’s skill that he had obtained from the many skills contained within the Einherjar’s body. It was called the Soul Contract.
[Platinum-tier Special Skill: Soul Contract.]
[Effect: once both parties sign a contract, they can’t violate it. Otherwise, they will suffer the consequences—their souls will be extinguished. The contract is effective regardless of the signees’ strength.]
While Watson was writing the contract, its relevant content automatically flashed through his mind.
“Master Watson, I am willing to sign a contract with you.” The World Transformation Mirror girl hesitated for a moment before she reached out her right hand. A drop of bright red blood dripped from her fingertip and fused with the contract. Watson also pricked his fingertip and let the blood dribble onto the contract.

The contract suddenly turned deep crimson after being drenched by the two streams of blood. Its light blazed brightly and gradually deteriorated into two jets of crimson air. One entered Watson’s body, while the other entered the World Transformation Mirror.
Watson felt a connection to the World Transformation Mirror after the contract was created. He could command the World Transformation Mirror to perform any task he desired. Simultaneously, the World Transformation Mirror’s appearance had changed too; its initial appearance was a vortex-shaped fog. Once the fog cleared, it revealed exquisite facial features that were strikingly identical to those of Watson. However, its face’s outline was much more delicate.
A tool that recognized its master would exhibit some of its master’s qualities. As a result, the World Transformation Mirror gained a face and was closer to Watson.
“Since you have acknowledged me as your master, I should give you a name. You were originally a mirror, so why don’t I call you Little Mirror?”
“My honorable master, your brilliance dazzles me. I should not refuse the name you gave me, but that name is really, well, may I ask for a new one?”
“Then let’s call you Little White.”
“Master, don’t you think that’s a dog’s name?”
Watson was in a dilemma. He knew that he did not have any talent in naming anything. Then, after a moment of hesitation, he said, “Since your main body is the World Transformation Mirror, why don’t I call you Globe? The world is the 24th tarot card, which happens to be the name of the 22nd card. It’s quite meaningful.”
“That is not a bad name. Thank you, Master.”
Obviously, he liked his new name. The World Transformation Mirror looked happy.
Watson turned around after resolving the situation with the World Transformation Mirror. He discovered that everyone, including Christina, was staring at him as if he were a monster. It left him perplexed. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Watson, are you not aware of what you’ve done?”
Christina flashed a self-deprecating grin as she shook her head. “I can’t believe that despite years of diligent preparation, I have ultimately failed. Watson, you saved us, and I owe you.”
“Miss Christina, you are far too humble. It is only a small matter! Since the trial has ended, let’s get out of here.”
Watson looked at Globe, and she immediately nodded in agreement. With a wave of her hand, the stairwell temple in which everyone was standing vanished. The surrounding environment was restored to the appearance of the 100the floor. The only change was that the World Transformation Mirror in the center of the underground city had vanished; it had been transformed into the girl beside Watson.
“Phew! We’re finally back.”
The Holy Sword adventurer team members were just about to heave a sigh of relief when a huge black shadow streaked across their heads, accompanied by an intense dragon’s roar.
Roar!
Everyone looked up and saw a black dragon dozens of meters long circling above their heads. The ferocious dragon’s head looked down at them, and its vertical pupils did not contain a hint of emotion. It was the same black dragon they saw in the sky before they entered the underground city. They did not expect to encounter such a terrifying magical beast after passing the trial. They were terrified.
“Death Omen Star Dragon, when did you get here? I created you to focus on the maze. Come here, quickly! I have just named the World Transformation Mirror. It’s your turn now.”
Watson beckoned to the sky, and the black dragon immediately shrank to the length of an arm. It landed on his shoulder and rubbed its head against him intimately.
“No way, Watson. You created a dragon too?”
When the Holy Sword adventurer team members saw that scene, their mouths were opened so wide that they could fit an egg in it. They were frozen on the spot.
