Chapter 118: Heaven-defying Skill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Gold-tier special item: Great Sin Mask (with minor flaw)]

[Effect: resists attacks from platinum-tier elites. Side effects include that the user’s emotions will become very volatile after wearing the mask, and the user will have a feminine appearance.]

[Additional effects: devour, taste, touch, anger, giant, advanced charm, affinity, money enhancement (from the mask of greed—use gold coins to increase the strength of yourself and your teammates; the more gold coins you use, the greater the increase), good luck, forced equality (from the mask of jealousy—after using it, the opponent’s strength can be equal to your own, but it is ineffective against those whose strength is too much higher or lower than your own), Shadow Doppelganger, invisible hand (making attacks undetectable), and energy storage.]

[Additional Skills: Evil god’s protection, death ray haunt, perfect mimicry (can transform into another person or even an animal), emotional resonance (can affect the emotions of people nearby—the stronger the opponent’s willpower, the weaker the effect), the Primordial Demoness Summon (can summon the projection of a platinum-tier Primordial Demoness and use its power)]

As he looked at the attributes in front of him, Watson stretched his hand outward and touched the mask on his face subconsciously. It had already become one with his face; it was like touching his skin.

‘There are so many skills. I’ll try the defensive power of this mask first.’

Watson opened his arms and began to chant the gold-tier magic Humanoid Auto Mine Giant spell.

Soon, a hundred water elemental giants that were more than ten meters tall appeared beside him; each one had a terrifying aura.

The sudden appearance of the spell surprised the Demoness Bandit Gang leaders, who had taken off their masks. They did not expect that after such an intense battle, Watson still had so much power. If they had not chosen to surrender, they might have become corpses.

The women looked conflicted. At the same time, they were a little puzzled. Why did Watson use such a powerful spell after the battle was over? Was he trying to silence them?

Just as they were puzzled, Watson had already controlled more than a hundred water elemental giants that were floating in the air as they charged straight at them. Watson’s ten-year-old body was like a toothpick in front of the water giants; the water giants’ toe was larger than him.

The uneven height gave people a strange and distorted feeling.

“Humanoid Auto Mine Giant, explode.”

Then, Watson gave an order, and all the mine giants around him exploded; it had triggered a chain reaction. The explosion range of one mine giant was dozens of meters, and the range of a hundred mine giants was hundreds of meters. The explosions overlapped each other; the dense water vapor spread out in a ring shape and formed a vast mushroom cloud in the sky.

“Is he crazy? He controlled the magic to attack himself!”

The Demoness Bandit Gang leaders were sent flying backward by the violent magic waves. The combat aura wings on their bodies were torn into pieces due to the strong wind; bloody marks appeared on their bodies.

Allen, the rest of the men, and the magical beasts were also blown away from the explosion. Fortunately, they had stayed away when Watson released the platinum-tier spell, so they were not seriously injured.

“Allen, Watson is attacking himself. Is this also within your expectations?” Sven asked with a strange expression. He had finally managed to control his two-winged liger with incredible difficulty.

Before he left the Shabby Bandit Gang, he had put on the silver-tier armor that Watson had given him. Otherwise, he would have been even more embarrassed.

“Well—” Allen’s expression was a little awkward. How could he have thought that Watson would attack himself? Compared to his confusion, he was even more worried. The young master did not release an ordinary spell, but he was not injured.

The explosion had ended as he pondered that. A huge hole appeared in the clouds in the sky. Watson looked beautiful as he stood there. His short brown hair fluttered in the wind, and the clothes on his body did not have the slightest crease.

‘Very good. I am not disappointed with the fusion ability after the great effort I put in to search for the Great Sin Mask. Even gold-tier magic could not break through it.’

The corners of Watson’s mouth curled into a strange arch.

‘Other than the increase in defense, the Great Sin Mask has also gained many magical skills. They are also very helpful to me.’

After careful calculation, he discovered that the Great Sin Mask had twelve skills. Each broken mask had two primary and secondary skills—for example, the Envy Mask’s primary skill was forced equality, and its secondary skill was the shadow clone. As a result, it could summon a shadow that had half of its strength as a fighter. The disadvantage was that it could not be too far away from the main body and could not exist for a long time.

Obviously, one had to gain those skills, so Sloth did not use any when fighting with him.

Another example was luck and energy storage, which were the secondary skills of the Greed and Sloth masks, respectively. Luck could increase one’s luck—one could go out and find some money or let their opponent be crushed to death by a passing meteorite during a battle. Those were the effects of luck—Watson felt that he could apply that to the system fusion in the future.

Energy storage was an even stronger skill. It could accumulate energy that he did not use, and when he needed it, it would explode simultaneously to display a power several times or even ten times the usual count. First, however, he had to fall asleep to store energy.

Watson looked at Sloth, whose body was stained with blood as she was sent flying backward. He sighed discreetly. ‘These women are not weak, especially with the enhancement of the Great Sin Mask. A silver-tier warrior has the strength equivalent to a gold-tier elite! If it weren’t for the Envy’s betrayal that led to their internal strife, I would only be able to defeat them if I used up all the energy in the chaotic-elemental magic source in a real battle.’

That battle was the most difficult one that Watson had ever experienced since he transmigrated to that world. Even the fight with the allied manor owners was not that difficult.

‘Fortunately, everything is settled now.’

Watson touched his face. His beautiful face immediately changed back to his original appearance. That was the additional skill—perfect mimicry—after the mask fused. He could not only change his face, but he could also adjust his height.

After the Great Sin Mask had fused six times, there were three additional abilities. They were Perfect Mimicry, Emotion Resonance, and Primordial Demoness Summoning.

According to Watson’s judgment, every shattered Great Sin Mask carried a primary gold-tier and secondary silver-tier techniques. Furthermore, the fused additional techniques were more powerful and practical than those.

“With this mask, I can protect myself no matter what dangers I encounter at the border in the future.”

Even if he were to face the legendary platinum-tier archmage border count, he could still escape even if he could not defeat him. That was only the effect of the fused six masks; that is if he could gather all the Great Sin Masks. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

At that moment, Allen brought a group of manor owners to control the magical beasts. Then, he went to Watson with a flattering smile on his face. “Young Master Watson, I did not expect you to look so handsome when you cast your magic. I would like to ask, how can I become as outstanding as you?”

The people who came with him resisted the urge to vomit.

Watson also had a strange look on his face. He knew that Allen was an arrogant man, and there was no good way to stop him. However, he could use one of the Great Sin Mask’s to remedy that situation.

He used Emotional Resonance on Allen.
