Note: The outcome of fusion depends on the compatibility of the original abilities and the user’s understanding
The strength and traits of the deeply fused abilities are unpredictable]
"Interesting..." Ron whispered to himself, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Fusion was precisely the issue he had been contemplating.
If he could combine the advantages of different recorded abilities to create a new effect, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his combat strength.
Andre carefully removed the earplugs and walked over to Ron, his eyes full of awe:
"It’s... unbelievable power. You just played a piece of music and destroyed an entire half-beastman cavalry regiment."
Ron returned the violin to the spatial bag, his tone indifferent:
"The Erosion essentially a spell that uses music as a medium to convey the Ravings of the Stars and a spiritual impact. Previously, I only experimented with it on a small scale; this was the first time applying it in actual combat."
He paused and swept his gaze across the wreckage in the valley:
"The effect was as expected."
As expected? Andre marveled in his heart.
This kind of effortless destruction would already be considered a miracle by normal people.
But in Ron’s eyes, it seemed to be just an ordinary display of magic, not even worthy of special admiration.
Is this the gap between an Official Wizard and a mortal?
Andre couldn’t help but sigh.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset since the other party was his ally, and such power would be the greatest assistance in his quest for the throne.
"What next?" Andre asked:
"Should we attack their command post?"
Ron shook his head: "No need; we’ve already achieved the desired deterrent effect."
He pointed to the distance in the valley, where a few people in lavish attire were hurriedly organizing the troops, seemingly preparing to retreat:
"Look, they’ve already been scared out of their wits."
Indeed, soon the main forces of the rebel army began to orderly retreat.
Countless soldiers and cavalry withdrew to the other end of the valley, leaving behind a field strewn with corpses and weapons.
The commanders clearly understood one truth:
To oppose an Official Wizard who could easily annihilate a polar half-beastman cavalry regiment was sheer folly.
"This is the outcome we desired," Ron said, his voice calm and indifferent:
"There’s no need to eradicate them all, just let them understand the cost of rebellion; after all, soldiers are precious young labor."
Andre nodded in agreement, a sly look flashing in his eyes:
"Once this news spreads, those border Counts who are still observing will probably reconsider their positions as well."
"Indeed," Ron turned to leave: "You should arrange for the troops to clean up the battlefield; I have to take my leave for now."
With that, without waiting for Andre’s response, he transformed into a shadow and disappeared from the top of the cliff.
Leaving Andre alone standing in the wind, gazing at that valley of death, with a heart filled with anticipation for the future.
Back in the secret chamber prepared for him at the Royal Palace, Ron sat cross-legged, beginning to organize his combat experience just now.
The power of the Erosion Chapter indeed exceeded his original expectations.
Especially in that naturally amphitheater-like valley terrain, the propagation and amplification effects of the sound waves nearly reached their peak.
Moreover, this time, he considered it an attempt to improve a pain point of this set of spells - distinguishing between friend and foe.
At least when he played the Erosion Chapter just now, the targets outside the ranks of half-beastman cavalry did not show obvious symptoms of discomfort.
But what interested him even more at this moment was the soon-to-be-unlocked new feature of the Thousand Transformations - Fusion Recording.
"It’s a pity it still needs to charge to 100%..." Ron muttered to himself, a contemplative look in his eyes.
Various possibilities unfolded like fireworks in Ron’s mind, each combination containing infinite potential and accompanied by unpredictable risks.
But this is exactly the essence of the Path of the Extraordinary - continual exploration and experimentation, seeking breakthroughs in the unknown, and gaining strength through adventure.
Ron gently closed his eyes, feeling the energy flowing within his body and the changes brought by the fusion of the Thousand Transformations.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth; the gains from this journey to the Northern Lands were far richer than he originally thought.
Tomorrow, he would head to the Royal Treasure Vault to seek the complete inheritance of the Crown Breathing Technique.
Especially the legendary Ultimate Knight Realm - the cultivation method of the Crown Knight.
And that would be his ultimate goal on this journey.
