My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

As Sven looked at the innocent smile on Watson’s face and the honest look in his eyes, he reached to take the silver armor and the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken egg.

Then, he turned around and got on the back of the two-winged liger. He patted the monster’s neck as he let the beast fly into the sky. He lowered his head and covered his voice with a combat aura when he rose hundreds of meters into the sky.

“Lady Gluttony is one of Demoness Bandit Gang’s leaders; they have seven leaders that correspond to the seven sins—arrogance, greed, sloth, gluttony, anger, jealousy, and lust! Each leader wears a different mask that has many magical features, such as gluttony—”

Sven paused at that point.

His original plan was to trick Watson into giving him a horse to escape Blackmoon Castle. He did not expect Watson to provide him with so many things instead. Watson reminded him of his dead daughter; that was why he wanted to give him a hint.

“Gluttony’s mask can devour one’s combat aura. When I was fighting with Lady Gluttony, I did not know that I was injured. If you want to surround her, then you must pay special attention! Other than that, the Demoness Bandit Gang members make blood sacrifices because they believe in evil gods. I don’t know the details, but that’s all I know.”

After he said that, Sven controlled the two-winged liger to hover in mid-air. He heard Watson thanked him with a shout.

Sven thought that he should be the one thanking the child.

Watson had saved his life. As for the dead Shabby Bandit Gang members, those people were just pawns for his revenge. He could always find new pawns. As long as he was alive, the Shabby Bandit Gang would always exist.

Sven took one last look at Watson and flew into the distant sky without another glance backward.

“Young Master Watson, are you going to let him go just like that?”

Allen stared at the sky as his eyes flickered. “What if he had lied to us? Why don’t we capture him and torture him for more information? Even if what he said is true, we don’t need to give him a two-winged liger and a set of silver defensive equipment. These things are worth at least hundreds of gold coins.”

“It’s fine.” Watson maintained the cute smile typical of a teenager. “I don’t think he is a bad guy, so I spared his life. I think if I help him, he will also help me.”

Of course, it did not matter.

Watson thought that he was the one who had fused the two-winged liger. That animal would only listen to his words and had a specific connection with him. No matter where Sven ran, as long as he commanded it, the two-winged liger would carry him back; it would be a significant loss to belittle him just because he was a child.

“Young Master, you are still young.” Allen shook his head and sighed. “You are too young and don’t know about the dangers in this world. The words of adults in this world, especially bandits, can not be trusted! In my opinion, once a person had taken the benefits, they would run far away and hide.”

When he realized that Allen was about to continue lamenting, Watson opened his mouth. Just as he was about to reveal his trump card, a thunder-like sound suddenly echoed from the sky.

“Master of Blackmoon Castle, the reason I was severely injured and reduced to this state has nothing to do with Blackmoon Castle. It is because of Lady Gluttony! If you want to capture her, please bring me with you. I will be waiting for you at the Shabby Bandit Gang’s original location. If you have any news, feel free to look for me.”

Then, Sven’s figure turned into a small black dot as he flew further away and soon disappeared.

Watson looked up at the sky and smiled. He took back what he was about to say. “Allen, see, I’m right! I’ve helped others, and others will help me too.”

That was strange. Was that old bandit so loyal?

Allen muttered in his heart. He bowed to Watson and revealed a flattering smile. “As expected of you, Young Master Watson. He is a mastermind, indeed. A fool like me can never be compared to him, not even for a hundred years! I will have to follow your example, Young Master Watson.”

Retch!

They could hear a vomiting sound from around them. The guards who followed Watson looked at Allen with disdain. Even Liszt looked as if he did not know Allen and moved away.

..

At night, in Blackmoon Castle’s hall.

Edward sat at the dining table while Catherine helped distribute their evening meals.

As he put on an apron elegantly, Edward asked, “Watson, I heard that a group of bandits came to our walls today, and they wanted to tear down our wall. What happened?”

“Father, that group of bandits had been annihilated by the Blackmoon Knights. Only one person who called herself Lady Gluttony got away.” Watson moved his knife and fork to cut the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken egg in front of him.

“Lady Gluttony—are they members of the Demoness Bandit Gang?”

The people at the dining table included Watson’s eldest brother, Vincent, his second sister, Nindy, his third brother, Zeke, his fourth brother, Zenoah, and his seventh sister, Scarlet. It was a family meal. The person who asked that question was Vincent, and his face was filled with confusion.

Nindy had been with Watson during the day, so he did not go with them. He knew the Demoness Bandit Gang’s name very well. When he worked at the Wilber Manor, he had heard Wilber mention that gang. At that time, Wilber’s eyes had turned red, and he had gritted his teeth as if someone had robbed him of his money. No one knew what had happened.

“It’s the Demoness Bandit Gang. She was the only one who escaped out of 400 bandits. She also almost killed the leader of another bandit gang and injured a few Blackmoon Knights. She’s very powerful,” Nindy said with a solemn expression.

“Demoness Bandit Gang? Gluttony?”

Edward’s eyes suddenly flashed with recognition. He turned to his wife, Catherine, and said, “Catherine, this bandit gang that the children are talking about, do you think they could be the one from back then—”

Catherine did not say anything, but her expression was very grave.

Watson noticed that and asked curiously, “Father, you seem to know something?”

He knew that his father acted like a clown, but he was very knowledgeable. As part of the Saint Laurent family in the kingdom, it would not be strange for his father to know something about it.

“Watson, did the person from the Demoness Bandit Gang wear a mask? Is each mask different? Lady Gluttony’s mask would be one of a rabbit.”

“I don’t know if it’s different because we only saw Lady Gluttony. Her mask is of a rabbit, indeed.”

“Then there’s no mistake.”

Edward sighed. “They must be remnants of the Demoness Church from back then. Who would have thought that they would come back to the border? The Mask of Great Sin. I never thought that I would see this thing one day.”

Mask of Great Sin?

It was not only Watson, but all his siblings were also curious about that. “What is that?”

“Humans are born with seven sins, and one can only be free once one releases these sins. That is the Demoness Church’s philosophy. They were once a popular church in the kingdom more than ten years ago. They said that Queen Avril had a connection to that church, and after her death, there was no grand funeral in the kingdom. His Majesty even forbade people from mentioning it.”

Edward’s eyes flashed with reminiscence as he continued to say, “And the Mask of Great Sin is the Demoness Church’s treasure. This mask was initially a platinum-level treasure, but it was broken when the kingdom destroyed that church. Each piece retained a silver tier! At that time, they could not find this mask when they exterminated the church; everyone thought it was lost. I didn’t expect—”

Then, Catherine said, “An evil god made the shattered mask, so no human could repair it. Furthermore, it is only silver-tier, and its special ability is only gold-tier, so the kingdom did not send anyone to search for it.”

Watson listened in a daze, and when he heard that, he suddenly had a thought. Other humans might not be able to repair the mask, but he might be able to do it. His fusion magic could fuse everything, so something that an evil god made should be no problem at all. If he could find the Demoness Bandit Gang leader and kill her, would that mean he would get the platinum-tier equipment?
