Roar!
A faint cry came from the front.
Audrey sat in the carriage; she felt uneasy. Ever since she saw the destruction on the Demoness Bandit Gang’s mountain peak, she had been in a bad mood.
She still had not figured out why the Demoness Bandit Gang was destroyed. What did that young man have to do with Blackmoon Castle?
Other people might think that the astrologer would not lose, even if his opponent were a platinum-tier elite. However, she was different; she was a cautious person. If the opponent were a silver-tier, she would use the power of a gold-tier elite. If her opponent had a gold-tier elite, then she would need a platinum-tier warrior.
In short, she would only make a move if she had absolute confidence in her victory. That was the first time she felt insecure about her chances in the Blackmoon Castle raid.
In addition, the continuous roars from afar made her a little annoyed.
She pulled the curtain of the carriage, poked her head out, and asked, “Where are we?”
The guards outside immediately said respectfully, “President Audrey, we’re not far from Blackmoon Castle. I can even see the wall! That wall is too majestic.”
The guard looked forward and exclaimed; his eyes were wide open.
‘Why are you so shocked? It’s only a wall?’
Audrey did not show her dissatisfaction. Instead, she got up from her seat and signaled the coachman to stop the carriage before she went outside.
She looked far into the distance; a long black line appeared in front of her. She could not see the border at a glance, and her heart twitched.
As the Mage Guild’s president, she knew more than most people. Even though she could not see the material used to construct the wall, it seemed to be of high quality. How much did such a long, high-quality wall cost? Was that the work of Blackmoon Castle?
Just as she felt a little surprised, the astrologer spoke to her.
“Audrey, we have to speed up. I sensed the aura of a dragon.”
The astrologer stood on top of the earth-elemental giant, which was dozens of meters tall. He sat cross-legged and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the distance with a solemn expression.
A dragon?
Audrey was dumbfounded as well.
She knew that only the royal family and those the King had appointed could have any contact with a dragon. There were less than ten dragons in the kingdom, and they were under the royal family’s control; that was why they had the strongest army. One person could defeat thousands of soldiers and mounts.
The border count had a grudge with the King, but he had refused to act on it—the Dragon Knights were a big part of that reason.
They had detected a dragon’s aura at the border. Did the border count have control over the dragons as well?
Audrey’s expression grew more worried as she looked into the distance.
..
At the Blackmoon Castle.
After the Golden Flash had evolved, it stood up and flapped its wings before it rose into the air. The immense pressure caused the rocks on the ground to fly in all directions.
Its massive body, which was dozens of meters long, was even bigger than a house. The area covered by her wings could cover the entire sky. Every scale on her body was the size of a fist, arranged in a regular pattern. It made people feel a chill in their hearts.
The Golden Flash raised its long neck before it soared into the sky. The sound spread out in a circular shape, and clear sound waves appeared.
It was quite a distance from the farm. A group of Blackmoon Knights was training on two-winged ligers in the field in front of the castle.
“Everyone, hurry up! It won’t be long before the people from the Mage Guild attack us.”
“We’ve embarrassed Young Master Watson when we destroyed the bandit gang previously. We must make up for it this time.”
Allen lectured everyone. Then, they heard a dragon’s roar from afar. The ligers beneath them trembled. They bowed and paid their respects in the direction of the farm; they managed to throw the Blackmoon Knights off, one by one.
The Blackmoon Knights fell to the ground in a sorry state. They also looked at the farm in shock. They suddenly felt a wave of panic for no reason at all. It was as if the roar came from an existence that they could not even look at directly. They broke out in cold sweat when they imagined the creature.
“What did the Young Master do this time?” Allen turned his head around; he was more shocked than afraid.
Young Master Watson always had surprises for them.
At the farm.
As the Golden Flash roared, the other magical beast had also completed its fusion.
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing the magical beast. The gold-tier Rainbow Phoenix Chicken has been upgraded to a peak gold-tier Hybrid Phoenix.]
Watson saw the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken reveal itself after the light dissipated.
It was a large, colorful bird that was more than ten meters long.
Every feather on the giant bird was like a short sword. It was sharp and straight, and there was a faint flame on it. A dense, colorful fog rose around it as a pair of fiery red eyes looked down at the world. It let out a cry after the Golden Flash, and thick flames shot out from its throat. It dyed the sky red.
Phoenixes were also ancient divine beasts. They were slightly weaker than the dragons, but they were stronger in certain aspects. For example, their vitality—the dragons could usually live for thousands of years, which was considered a long time. The phoenixes could be reborn and never die.
At that moment, Emperor Cluck successfully transformed from a chicken into a phoenix. Even though it was only a hybrid phoenix with impure blood, they were two completely different species.
Watson suppressed the excitement in his heart as he looked at the evolved Emperor Cluck.
[Gold-tier Peak Hybrid Phoenix]
[Ability: possesses the strength of a gold-tier magical beast.]
[Silver-tier Magic: Firestorm, Flame Sweep.]
[Gold-tier Magic: Dance of the Phoenix.]
[Additional effects: production (produces 100 Phoenix eggs every day. The first time you eat it, you will gain 10,000 catties of strength, 100 years of life, you will have a trace of the Phoenix bloodline), rebirth (when you receive fatal damage, you will not die but turned into an egg instead. When you absorb enough energy, you will be able to revive yourself), fire magic resistance, flight, and transformation.]
“Emperor Cluck’s attributes are also very luxurious. It’s a pity that its production has decreased.” Watson sighed. He believed that Emperor Cluck would achieve platinum-tier and become a true Phoenix if it were not for the lack of bird-elemental magical beasts.
Watson had fused all the combat-elemental magical beasts with Emperor Cluck to deal with Blackmoon Castle’s impending danger. As a result, Emperor Cluck’s combat strength had increased, and its production ability had decreased correspondingly.
However…
Even if its production had decreased tenfold, it was still a hundred times more precious than before that.
Previously, the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken egg could only give a person a chance to awaken the Phoenix bloodline after they consumed it. Watson had eaten at least a thousand eggs, but he had not been able to awaken it after the first time. The probability of that was too low. However, after the fusion, the egg would definitely have that effect.
Watson had experienced it himself, so he understood the benefits of that ability. It could allow those who had not reached silver-tier to grow wings and learn to fly. There were many other benefits too. He had awakened the phoenix wings back then; that was why he was regarded as a silver-tier elite when he destroyed Miles Manor.
At first, he was still worried about his family members who were not strong enough. However, he no longer had that problem. If they could awaken the Phoenix bloodline, then they could fly if they met a brutal enemy.
“After Emperor Cluck lays the eggs, I will immediately feed it to the people in my family who are below silver-tier. Then, I will ask the Blackmoon Knights to teach them how to fly. I will try my best to get them to master flying before the Mage Guild people arrive.”
With that thought in mind, Watson felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Survival in that world was often accompanied by danger because there were too many strong people there. Furthermore, not every strong person had good intentions. However, he had the fusion system; he was confident that he could surpass and crush any other strong person.
