Chapter 311: Straight To The 100th Floor

“Look! What’s that?”

Everyone looked up as they endured the tremors. Some of them noticed the giant creature rising from the sky in the distance and cried out in surprise.

They saw a vast mountain floating in the sky in the distance. However, that mountain was square. There were countless empty holes and rock tunnels that rotated constantly. Many adventurers were fighting with magical beasts at the tunnels on each level. They should have been underground, but they were suddenly in the air. All of them screamed in panic.

The whole hill was like a giant Rubik’s cube that was magnified countless times. Even those who had not entered it knew what it was.

“It’s the underground city.”

Nightingale stared at the distant sky and sighed.

She knew that Watson would do such a thing because she had been with him for more than two years. She knew the young man well—Watson was a person who sought convenience.

For him, things that could be moved should not take much effort to go in and explore. Just like how he was afraid of trouble, and so he fused all the major cities and towns along the border. He could fuse the entire border, let alone a small underground city maze.

“Absolute Gravity.”

Watson spat our four words as he released his right hand into the sky. That was the diamond-tier rule that he had obtained from fusing many earth-elemental platinum-tier spells like Black Holes when he was at Mount Creation. It could eliminate the gravity of certain things and give them a gravity that was hundreds of times stronger.

At that moment, he had used the rules to eliminate gravity. That was only one of the dozens of rules that he had fused through thousands of spells. It was easy for him to do it, but it would look terrifying to everyone else.

“That kid pulled the underground city ruins out of the ground. How did he do it?” A member of the Holy Sword adventurer team looked at the sky with a blank expression.

“What kind of tier is he to be able to do that? A platinum-tier?” Another member of the Holy Sword adventurer team fell silent. Even though it was a question, he already had an answer in his heart. At the very least, Lady Swordmistress could not do it. Otherwise, she would have pulled the buried city out of the maze long ago.

That also meant that Watson was stronger than Christina, perhaps at the peak of the platinum tier. Even though Watson looked to be only 12 or 13 years old, a platinum-tier elite at that age was enough to enter the historical records. He would become the youngest platinum-tier elite in history, breaking the current sword saint’s record.

Quite a number of people thought that Watson had participated in the exploration with the Holy Sword adventurer team to curry favor with them. It seemed that Watson’s true goal was to hide his identity because his strength was simply too strong.

“Is that Young Master Watson’s true strength?”

The three of them looked up at the underground city above them, their expressions filled with emotion. They recalled the first time they had met Watson. At that time, Watson had killed a gold-tier magical beast with a single move. They thought that was Watson’s full strength. Finally, Watson had fought with the swordmistress, helped them fuse their weapons, and even gave them new weapons.

What Watson had done was getting more and more ridiculous. No one knew if that would be the last time.

That day was destined to be an unforgettable day for everyone in the City of Steel. Everyone looked up at the huge ruins above them as though they were looking at some sort of miracle.

“We can now explore the ruins out in the open. But before that, we should first clear out any irrelevant people and magical beasts in the ruins,” Watson muttered softly.

He did not drag the ruins out to show off his strength. After all, the ruins had a hundred floors and were buried underground. He would have to go thousands of meters deep to reach the bottom, unlike the maze above his head, which made it much easier to enter.

The bottom floor, which was as smooth as a mirror, was different from the other parts of the maze. The passage on that floor did not move and was shrouded in fog. He did not know what was inside.

After he observed it for a while, Watson activated the system fusion on the maze above his head. He had only fused the magical beasts.

[Congratulations, Master, on fusing a large number of magical beasts. You have obtained a diamond-tier magical beast, the Death Star Dragon.]

Following the sound of the system notification, the shadows of various magical beasts on the ruins’ 100th floor vanished, transforming into streaks of flowing light that fused in the air. The adventurers fighting with the magical beasts suddenly realized that all the beasts had disappeared. Meanwhile, the magical beasts that were fighting for their territory also collided with each other. There were more than a million magical beasts in the entire maze, and at that very moment, all of them had been fused. It was a terrifying phenomenon.

A dark cloud appeared in the sky; it blocked the sunlight and dimmed the land. There was a faint flash of lightning in the cloud, illuminating the shadow of a huge dragon-shaped creature. Then, the dark cloud tore apart, and a giant black dragon rushed out. Its scales were jet-black and shiny. Its ferocious head did not have the meandering ordinary dragon horns. Instead, it had a single horn, and four tiny black stars were floating around it.

“Not bad. I actually fused a dragon.”

When he saw the information of the fused magical beast, Watson’s face was full of joy. That was the second dragon he had fused, and it was a diamond-tier one. “I wonder which is stronger, this dragon or Golden Flash?”

The entire City of Steel shook the moment that black dragon appeared.

“There are so many powerful magical beasts in the underground city. It’s no surprise that no one but the current sword saint could get to the 100th floor. But where have the other magical beasts in the ruins gone to? Did that black dragon swallow them?”

The people of the City of Steel did not know that Watson had mastered the art of fusion. They thought that a black dragon from the underground city had swallowed the other magical beasts. Even Christina thought so, and she had gone down to the 70th floor.

“That black dragon must be a monster from the 100th floor. Has my father defeated it before?”

Christina muttered softly as she stared at the black dragon in the sky. She vaguely felt that something was amiss. That black dragon’s aura seemed too powerful, and it terrified her. She wondered if she would have the courage to attack it—she did not know how her father did it.

Swoosh!

She heard a soft sound just as she was thinking about that. Watson had already floated in the air and cast a large-scale, long-distance teleportation spell to move all the adventurers in ruins. Then, he went straight to the ruins’ lowest level.

The adventurers who had fallen back to the ground looked as if they were in a dream. They did not know what had happened. When they saw Christina, they hurriedly went to her. “Thank you, Lady Swordmistress. It was you who had saved us, right? That black dragon was too terrifying. Just its aura alone made us wet our pants.”

The swordmistress was the strongest person there. They thought that it must have been her who had saved them.

However, Christina did not say anything. The people around her did not respond either. So, the tens of thousands of adventurers who had landed there were puzzled. They followed the other people’s gazes and looked up. They were frozen on the spot when they saw the sight that greeted them. They were shocked.

They saw a small figure soaring toward the sky; he stepped on the giant black dragon. At the same time, the young man extended his fist over his head and punched forward. He managed to pierce a hole in the ruins’ 100th floor.
