My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

226-230

Chapter 226: Come At Me If You Want Anything
Moriarty shook the rat’s head. He had a slight headache. As he had the body of a platinum-tier magical beast, a fall from a great height had little effect on him.

The stares of the experts from all directions gave him a headache. He believed that everything he did was quite covert, even when he was eating the tree bark. He did not use any magic to make a noise. He had no idea how Watson had found him.

When he first arrived at Blackmoon Castle, he had intended to kidnap Watson’s family and force Watson to beg him for mercy, but he discovered that Mayor Lubin had brought a cart of good things, and he just happened to be hungry.

So...

His strength returned after consuming all of the wealth that Lubin had brought. His attention was drawn to the diamond-tier Crystal World Tree Staff that Watson had fused. The uninformed would think that those glowing trees could have been ornaments forged by Watson. However, he was a platinum-tier elite, so he could tell that those trees were quite extraordinary.

They were, at the very least, platinum-tier items, and they could even be diamond-tier.

He had no idea why the insignificant Blackmoon Castle would have such a valuable treasure. He assumed it was a gift from Sylvan or Antonio, but he did not dwell on it too much. That kind of item was an excellent tonic for him. He could restore his strength to its peak if he were to eat one. If he ate a few more, he might be able to allow the body of the Heaven-devouring Rat King to advance to the diamond tier.

“Where did that rat come from? It does not feel like a typical magical beast. The aura on its body is extremely powerful.”

“Protect the border count and Master Antonio.”

When the people around him noticed Moriarty, they were all on high alert. Andre was the first to act. He dashed in front of Sylvan and Antonio as he carefully removed a pair of golden gloves from his clothes and put them on.

“Brothers, take a step back.”

Watson motioned with his hand for his three brothers to keep their distance. He smiled and walked toward Moriarty. He waved his hand and said, “Lord Rat, or Lord Moriarty, we have not seen each other in about two days. I didn’t think you’d still be alive.”

“Moriarty? You mean the rat in front of us is Moriarty?” Antonio and Sylvan examined the rat on the ground. They exchanged puzzled looks. They recognized the rat as the Heaven-devouring Rat King that had escaped a few days before. They had no idea why Watson would call it Moriarty.

Had they not seen Watson kill Moriarty in front of them?

They had no idea Moriarty had snuck into Blackmoon Castle, and Watson had caught him. The rat was embarrassed.

“Let’s not talk nonsense, Watson! I have a question. How did you know it’s me?”

Moriarty stood up and spoke in human language after Watson discovered him.

“Because the entire Blackmoon Town is under my command. Is that a valid reason?”

With the system’s assistance, the information would appear in his eyes no matter what Watson saw.

As a result, he was aware the moment Moriarty entered Blackmoon Town. He also knew Moriarty had followed Gerant’s car. He had pretended not to know because he wanted to see what Moriarty would do. He could not help himself when he saw Moriarty gnawing on the diamond-tier magic staff that he fused.

He did not feel sorry for Moriarty; he found it amusing.

The diamond-tier magical staff could only be destroyed by attacks of the same level. Moriarty was only a platinum-tier Heaven-devouring Rat King. Even if he gnawed on it his entire life, he would never be able to bite a piece off of the magical staff.
