As she looked into the distance, Lady Gluttony noticed the magical beasts that surrounded her continued to fall.

Half of the five thousand silver-tier magical beasts had quickly disappeared, including hundreds of double-winged ligers. Most of the ten thousand bronze-tier magical beasts were also in a petrified state.

She turned her head to glance at the Primordial Demoness projection behind her, and she noticed the eyeb.a.l.l.s on her clothes continued to close. Lady Gluttony clicked her tongue.

“The energy is used up so quickly; it's much faster than I expected. How unreliable! Anyway, I've eaten enough. The magical beasts are no longer a threat. At worst, I'll just kill all the people in front of me and restore the energy for the magical array.”

She licked her lips under the mask. The jet-black combat aura wings on Lady Gluttony's back expanded several times as she headed straight for Watson.

To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader.

Once Watson was captured, his guards would not be able to resist.

“Young Master Watson, leave this to us. You should leave quickly.”

Allen controlled the two-winged liger as he tried his best not to look at the Primordial Demoness' eyes, and he protected Watson in front of him.

One of his arms had already hardened, and the petrification spread at a speed that made his expression appear somewhat tragic. “Young Master Watson, it seems like I won't be able to make it today. When you return, you can give my manor to those who need it.”

“Oh, yes, Young Master Watson, I've just recruited a group of handmaidens, and I haven't touched them yet. If you like them, then please, take them! Also, the manor needs to be cleaned once every three days. Let the more meticulous people do it. Don't damage the expensive paintings and vases in the room.”

“Young Master, also, I have to tell you—”

When he realized that Allen was about to continue, Watson was speechless. He waved his hand hurriedly. “Stop, you're not dead yet.”

“I'm not dead yet, but I might be soon.”

Allen was crying. A few of his teammates had been petrified in front of him. If it were not for the gold-tier armor on his body that protected him, he would have been petrified as well. The armor did not have an abnormal resistance like Christine's.

As he faced death, he did not feel much fear in his heart. Instead, he thought that it was a pity to have such good equipment on him. If he were to turn into stone, Watson would have fused them for him for nothing.

“Stop talking.”

Watson did not say anything more. He activated the gold-tier spell he had just obtained—the Petrification Magic Eyes.

His azure-blue eyes turned green and gray. His pupils had disappeared; only the whites of his eyes remained. It seemed to contain a layer of chaos. A faint shadow of a huge eyeball appeared behind him. It looked directly at Allen's arm. The hardened area disappeared gradually.

Allen hugged his arm and cried, and he said, “When I die, let Liszt lead the guards. He is more stable and opinionated than me. It's a good thing that he did not come today.”

Watson looked angry and amused. “Take a good look at yourself. You're fine now.”

“Young Master, you don't have to comfort me.”

“I'm telling the truth!”

When he saw Watson's serious expression, Allen looked down and realized that the petrified marks on his arm had disappeared. Then, he tried to move his arm, and it was so flexible that he could even touch his back. He was overjoyed.

“I feel great! Young Master, how did you do it? That is too magical.”

He had thought that he would die. He did not expect Watson could undo the magic from the Primordial Demoness. He was Watson, indeed.

What had happened?

The gluttonous demoness had rushed to a spot not far from Watson. She stared at the scene in front of her, but her brain could not function properly. The Primordial Demoness was part of an evil G.o.d. Even a trace of her afterimage was at platinum tier. She was not affected because she had the Great Sin Mask's protection, but how did the youth in front of him survive that?

“Forget it; I don't care. I'll know after I eat him.”

The rabbit-head mask on Lady Gluttony's face squirmed as she opened her b.l.o.o.d.y mouth. She had wanted to spare Watson's life, but at that time, she wanted his life.

After he undid Allen's petrification, Watson heaved a sigh of relief. The gold-tier spell that he used did not consume too much stamina. With his strength, he could cast it many times. It was enough to cure all the petrified people if their bodies did not shatter.

Just as he was about to go and save them, he heard a piercing sound. Lady Gluttony flew in front of him with an intense combat aura and struck her palm at him.

Illusory skulls appeared on Lady Gluttony's palm; they opened their mouths and screamed. The sound was ear-piercing. The skulls gathered and turned into a pitch-black mouth that was about to swallow Watson.

“If you want to touch Young Master Watson, you'll have to go through me first!”

Before Watson could make his move, Allen had raised the golden glove in his right hand. It was covered with water-elemental combat aura, and he threw a vicious punch at Lady Gluttony.

Bang!

With a m.u.f.fled sound, the two-winged liger with Allen broke into two on the spot. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was driven further backward. His face was filled with disbelief as he stared at Endless Sea Black Blood Th.o.r.n.y Gloves.

That was a gold-tier weapon that Watson had given him, and one of it had been damaged.

“You've overestimated yourself.”

With a cold snort, Lady Gluttony continued to drift toward Watson's direction. She was already a gold-tier warrior, and with the Great Sin Mask that gave her the ability to devour, she would only become stronger as she fought.

So powerful!

Watson's expression changed, and he activated and used the Petrification Magic Eyes on Lady Gluttony.

A gold-tier spell enveloped her; it covered her body with a layer of greenish-gray stone sh.e.l.l. That change only lasted for a moment before it quickly dissipated.

“Using the Primordial Demoness' power to deal with me, aren't you overestimating yourself! However, you were able to steal the Primordial Demoness' power; I'm really getting more and more interested in you.”

“The Petrification Magic Eyes does not affect you. What's that about?”

Watson patted the spatial bag he carried with him, took out the Heart of the Sea staff, and began to chant.

“Water elements that flow endlessly in the world, please listen to my call, turn into a giant that can trample over everything, an indestructible giant! Gold-tier magic—Humanoid Auto Mine Giant.”

As his voice lowered, a hundred ten-meter-tall giants appeared beside Watson; their bodies were formed by a sky-blue water curtain that exuded a terrifying might.

Those water giants raised the barrels in their hands the moment they appeared and fired water-mine cannonb.a.l.l.s at Lady Gluttony. The explosion formed a hurricane that caused the trees on the five mountains to shake. However, it could not move Lady Gluttony. The water giants rushed toward her and disintegrated to generate an even stronger explosion. However, they were all devoured by the black combat aura that was around Lady Gluttony.

“It's useless. No matter what you do, it will become part of my strength if you're not above gold-tier! If you have any other moves, just use them. After all, this is the last moment of your life.”

Lady Gluttony giggled; her tone is contemptuous.

“That's only what you think.”

Watson closed his eyes for a short while and then reopened them very quickly. He seemed to have made up his mind. “Allen, take everyone and leave.”

“But Young Master—” The injured Allen floated to the side; he was a little hesitant.

“Go!”

Watson gave his command. Allen gritted his teeth; he could only control the magical beasts and lead the remaining Blackmoon Knights and the other manor owners to retreat.

“Not bad. Letting your subordinates leave, even at the cost of your own life. You are a good leader.” Lady Gluttony watched his actions with interest.

“No, you're overthinking it.”

At that moment, Watson also smiled. “I didn't let them leave because I wanted to sacrifice myself. I am afraid that my powerful magic might hurt them! There's no point in saying that now. You won't be able to hear it soon anyway.”

As he spoke, Watson activated the system fusion. He had three gold-tier spells, namely the Humanoid Auto Mine Giant, the Silver Serpent on the Raging Sea, and the Petrification Magic Eyes. Well, he wanted to fuse those three spells.

“System, activate the fusion system!”

[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing three gold-tier spells. You have obtained a platinum-tier spell—the Deep Sea Dragon's Breath.]
