Chapter 25
Half a day had passed by the time Watson returned home.
On the way, he made Golden Flash transform into a three-meter-long giant lion. Although he did not reveal his original form, Golden Flash’s appearance was still extraordinarily domineering, leaving clear claw marks on the ground wherever it passed.
All the farmers who passed by the farms inhaled sharply and engaged in heated discussion when they saw Watson and the lion beneath him.
“This child must be the Garry family’s eighth child! I wonder what tier the lion beneath him is. How did it grow that big?”
“It looks like a statue made of gold. With its size, it must be at least a Silver-tier magical beast! I heard that Watson has recently become a Silver-tier warrior and is still practicing magic. I didn’t expect him to get such a powerful magical beast. The Garry family is going to rise up!”
“Silver-tier warrior? Really? This kid is only a little over ten years old! How unfortunate. I heard that Watson’s family has Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens. I was going to sneak over to take a look, but I guess I should forget about it.”
Some of the farms were familiar with the Garry family. When Zeke and Zenoah went out to sell eggs, they had also sold them to them. Although Zeke said that these eggs were picked up from the town of Monte, it was still difficult to hide from interested parties, who knew the fact that the Garry family had the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken.
At this moment, those who did not have covetous thoughts saw the powerful magical beast under Watson and warned themselves not to provoke the boy. Those who had covetous thoughts immediately gave up on such ideas.
A Silver-tier warrior and a magical beast of the same level. Only those who did not want to live anymore would only go after the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken.
Watson deliberately told his third and fourth siblings to spread news of his Silver-tier prowess. When he had just transmigrated to that world, his first thought was to keep a low profile.
After what happened with Miles however, he changed his mind. The more low-profile a person was, the more easily that person would be bullied by others. If he could release the news that he was a Silver-tier warrior earlier, Miles would not have dared to have any plot against Zeke and Zenoah. As a result, there was no longer a need to hide the system’s fusion ability anymore.
Millennia after millennia of magic history in that world meant that there were lots of magic and spells that were lost in time. Even powerful mages that were Platinum-tier and above would not dare to say that they knew all magic.
Watson had made up his mind that in the future, he would simply fuse it openly. If anyone asked, he would say that it was a lost magic that he had obtained by chance. It did not matter whether others believed it or not. As long as he was strong enough, what he said would be the truth.
After returning home, Watson instructed the six farmers to distribute the food that they had brought back to their families. At the same time, he also sent Golden Flash to the chicken farm. After doing all this, he immediately returned to his bedroom with a hundred sets of armor and weapons. He was ready to start fusing them together.
“It is very difficult for my current strength to continue improving. If I want to become stronger, forging equipment is the fastest way.” As he muttered, Watson looked at the armor in front of him. He decided to first forge defensive equipment. After all, compared to weapons, defensive equipment could protect one’s life.
What appeared in his eyes was the information of a hundred pieces of armor.
[Iron-tier armor]
[Effect: resists the attacks of Iron-tier professionals]
[Bronze-tier armor]
[Effect: resists the attacks of Bronze-tier professionals]
There were a total of 95 pieces of Iron-tier armor and five pieces of Bronze-tier armor in front of Watson. At that moment, he did not hesitate and immediately activated his fusion. The armor turned into a hundred streams of light and collided together, fusing into a golden shadow.
[Congratulations, Master. You have successfully fused the armor. You have obtained Gold-tier armor: Ancient knight Armor.]
The golden light dissipated, revealing a set of black armor inside. It looked like a medieval knight costume. There were strange cracks all over it. There was a movable steel mask on its face, and rivets on its four limbs, allowing it to rotate nimbly. There were also two rows of spikes on its back.
The entire armor gave off a sinister and heavy feeling. Cold light radiated in all directions, lighting up the room.
[Ancient knight Armor: Gold-tier defensive equipment]
[Effect: able to resist the attacks of Gold-tier professionals, and 100% of the opponent’s attack power will be stored as energy.]
[Additional effects: complete physical immunity (physical attacks that are lower than Gold-tier players will be completely nullified, while those that are higher than Gold-tier will have a weakened effect), dismantlable (can be dismantled and used separately to use part of the armor), reshaping (the armor will change according to the owner’s body size, and can also be disguised as other clothing), and lightness (the armor is weightless after being worn)]
[Additional skill: ancient heroic spirit (uses the power stored in the armor to summon a Gold-tier heroic spirit to face the enemy. The summoning time is proportional to the amount of energy absorbed)]
“As expected of a Gold-tier defensive equipment. The defensive equipment that I fused previously only had additional effects at most. This time, there’s actually an additional skill too.”
Instead of continuing to fuse one hundred longswords, Watson instead stared greedily at the Ancient Knight Armor and wiped his saliva.
He waved his hand at the ancient knight armor. With a crackling sound, the large black armor cracked and enlarged, turning into pieces of iron of different sizes that stuck onto Watson’s body like a jigsaw puzzle.
The first thing that adhered onto Watson’s body was his forearm. A layer of black armor perfectly fitted his arm, and his fingers were also covered with a layer of half-moon-shaped finger gloves.
Watson waved his fingers casually, and his fingers actually tore through the air, emitting a whistling sound. Just this ordinary grab could shatter the combat aura defenses of a Bronze-tier warrior.
“This is the dismantlable ability of the armor.”
After trying it out, Watson allowed all of the armor to cover his body, turning him into a majestic dark knight, just slightly shorter. The armor was clearly very thick and heavy armor, but Watson felt as if he was wearing a feather.
“Next, I’ll try out the skills of the defensive equipment.”
With a thought, Watson spread out the Phoenix Wings. The instant the Phoenix Wings appeared, the armor also changed shape. A layer of black steel covered the feathers, turning the wings into steel wings. Flames rose between the gaps.
To use the soul of an ancient heroic spirit, he needed to recharge first. The charging method that Watson chose was the attack of the Phoenix Wings.
He flapped both of his wings at the same time, and hundreds of feathers mixed with steel hit the armor with crackling sounds. The black armor lit up with a black light, and after about an hour, Watson felt that it was about time, only then did he begin to release the soul of an ancient heroic spirit.
“Ancient heroic spirit, obey the call and sacrifice yourself! I, as your honorable master, will make you invincible with the God of War’s blessing.”
A deep and hoarse voice sounded, and a strong wind blew in the bedroom. A three-meter-long void crack appeared in the space behind Watson, and a black ghost appeared from it. It held a heavy sword in its hand and waved it in the air.
Crack!
With a muffled sound, the sword aura that was comparable to a black tornado whistled past. The wall in front of Watson, including the windows, shattered, and the entire house shook.
After a single strike, the ancient heroic spirit dissipated.
Exclamations sounded from downstairs.
“What’s going on?”
“It can’t possibly be an earthquake!”
With Edward and Catherine leading the way, Vincent, Zeke, and their seventh sibling, Scarlet, all rushed upstairs. They were all speechless upon seeing the armored Watson as well as the large hole in the wall behind him that allowed wind to enter.
“Watson, what are you doing? Are you tearing down the house?”
