Chapter 83: Fusion of Gold-tier Magic

“Nindy, your brother is so powerful!” Indix held Nindy’s hand tightly as her eyes shone. “I wonder if he has someone he likes? But, perhaps no, he’s still so young.”
“Indix, what are you doing?” Nindy looked vigilant.
“Well, if your brother doesn’t have someone he likes, I can be his girlfriend!”
The corners of Indix’s mouth rose as she joked. “I’m only 16 this year, not much older than your brother. When he’s older, perhaps in the next two years, he’ll have to consider marriage! If I can have such a talented and rich husband, I can become a silver-tier mage with only the resources. Then, I won’t have to worry about it for the rest of my life. Think about it, Sister Nindy.”
“Uh, Indix, don’t you think it’s disgusting to act like a spoiled child?”
Nindy was speechless, but she somehow understood Indix’s thoughts.
If she had been wandering for many years and met a genius like Watson, she would be willing to be his girlfriend too, or even a maid, regardless of the man’s appearance or age.
If she had been in the other person’s shoes, she might have the same idea. As Watson’s girlfriend, she would not only get to learn advanced-level magic, but she would also become Blackmoon Castle’s mistress. Unfortunately, she was Watson’s sister, so she did not have the same chance.
While Nindy thought about it, a chanting voice came from nearby.
“Great water element, listen to my call and become an indestructible Cannonball! Silver-tier spell—Mine Cannonballs.”
It was Watson.
At that moment, he held the Heart of the Sea staff in one hand and a silver-tier scroll in the other.
“I can’t believe Young Master Watson is studying the mine cannonball spell. Everyone, retreat, quickly!”
The mages’ expression changed abruptly. They cried out in alarm as they took a step backward.
That was the first time Watson had dared to try such a spell. It was fine if the spell had failed, but if there was an explosion, they would not be able to escape at such a close distance. They did not have the same strong physique as Watson’s gold-tier warriors. If they were sucked into a silver-tier spell’s explosion, they would definitely die.
Soon, everyone, including Nindy, retreated about a hundred meters. Then, however, a dramatic scene appeared.
After Watson finished chanting the spell, a curtain of sky-blue water immediately wrapped around his body. The Heart of the Sea staff magnified the effect several times more; it changed the cannonballs into the size of a human head. There were about 150 of them, and they whistled as they spun above his head.
“Young Master Watson had mastered the mine cannonball spell at first try?” A mage stared blankly at the young child; his gaze was dull.
“This is a silver-tier spell! What kind of monster is he? This has already surpassed the realm of a genius.”
Another male mage followed suit. He did not expect that Watson could master the mine cannonball spell so quickly. He was also envious when he thought about how Watson was already a silver-tier mage at ten years old.
He was already in his 20s, but he was only a bronze-tier water-elemental mage. Nevertheless, his talent was considered above average in the entire Mage Guild. He had always considered himself a genius, but compared to Watson, he was nothing.
Watson ignored the reactions of the people around him. Instead, he was immersed in the pleasure of mastering the mine cannonball spell.
“Each of the mine cannonballs has the same power as a silver-tier warrior’s strike in full-strength. The explosion range is five meters, and the longest distance is 500 meters—as expected of a silver-tier spell.”
With the fusion system, he could learn almost anything at once—that was an additional ability of the system.
He controlled the mine cannonballs to hover in the sky for a moment. As he enjoyed the explosive power contained in them, a bold idea came to Watson’s mind. He had two silver-tier water-elemental spells. If he fused the two spells, would he be able to fuse even more powerful gold-tier spells if he were lucky?
Watson could not control the excitement in his heart.
“System, begin the fusion.”
[Congratulations, Master. You have successfully fused two silver-tier spells. You have obtained a gold-tier water-elemental spell, the Humanoid Auto Mine Giant.]
As the system’s voice echoed, countless pieces of knowledge appeared in Watson’s mind. The amount of information hurt his brain so much that it felt like it was about to explode.
At the same time, a powerful, attractive force came from the outside world and sucked all the magical elements in his body. His face paled as his body trembled, and he almost fell down.
The attractive force still did not weaken. Instead, it turned around and began to absorb the power from the source of chaotic-elemental magic in his lower abdomen. It only stopped after it absorbed enough magic power that equaled a gold-tier mage.
Watson’s source of chaotic-elemental magic had absorbed the gold-tier spell that Folson had released twice—the Silver Serpent on the Raging Sea. It had also absorbed a large wave of mine cannonballs. So the amount of magic power was equivalent to three gold-tier mages, and he had lost one of them forever.
After Watson absorbed Folson’s attack on the battlefield, he had asked the system discreetly about why the source of chaotic-elemental magic could absorb other magical powers. The system’s answer was that the source of chaotic-elemental magic was initially a part of the world; all the magic elements in a mage’s body originated from the source, so it could absorb it as well.
However, each source could only absorb the corresponding and lower magical elements.
For example, the light element was made up of four elements—earth, fire, water, and wind. So, its source could absorb all its corresponding elements—light, earth, fire, water, and wind, and it could not absorb any dark elements. The chaotic element was made up of light and darkness. Therefore, it could absorb any elements from both sides. However, it would not be able to absorb from a higher level if one were to appear.
At that moment, Watson barely managed to stabilize his body. Then, before he could sigh, he saw the hundred mine cannonballs around his body pulled by the lightning inside him. The cannonballs changed their shape and turned into water-elemental giants that were more than ten meters tall.
They were quite different from the water-elemental warriors that Watson had summoned. They were not only larger, but their hands did not carry a shield nor a long spear. Instead, they held one cannonball in each hand.
Gold-tier spell—Humanoid Auto Mine Giant.
Effect: Based on the amount of magic, you can summon an unlimited number of mine giants. Each mine giant has the ability to fire mine cannonballs, and its power is equivalent to a silver-tier spell.
Additional Effect: When each mine giant dissipates or takes fatal damage, it will self-destruct. The damage is equivalent to 100 mine cannonballs exploding at the same time.
“How is this a mine giant? It’s a self-destructive soldier!”
Watson sighed before he thought of something. Then, he shouted, “Oh, no! Second Sister, get everyone back to Blackmoon Castle! Then get the Blackmoon Knights to evacuate all the workers who are working outside and stay far away from here.”
The mine giants would self-detonate when they dissipated. Watson’s strength was depleted, so he could only sustain those mine giants for half an hour. If each mine giant’s explosion was equivalent to 100 mines, and there were 100 mine giants, it meant that the blast would be equivalent to 1000 mines. That power was enough to raze everything in sight to the ground.
“I got it.”
Nindy felt a new sense of fear when she saw the ten-meter-tall giants.
She could understand Watson’s panic, so she brought the mages back to the castle and told everyone to hide in their rooms. She also told the Blackmoon Knights to evacuate the people in the castle with them; they went about one kilometer away from the castle.
The Blackmoon Knights and thousands of workers looked at the castle from afar. Many of them wondered why they had to leave so suddenly.
They were still repairing the castle. They thought that if they worked hard, they would be able to fix half of the gate that day.
At that very moment.
Boom!
It was as if thousands of thunder had rumbled at the same time as a huge mushroom cloud appeared in the center of Blackmoon Castle. It released water vapor that spewed in all directions. The surrounding walls around Blackmoon Castle collapsed, and the entire castle sank about three centimeters into the ground as bronze-tier dark jade stone walls cracked.
The circular wind spread in all directions as it blew a layer of the earth off; it also almost blew into the people who were about one kilometer away. There were no clouds in the sky, but it rained within a radius of dozens of kilometers.
