Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 269 Premature Fusion Magic

At the Imperial Capital Magicians Association, a man in uniform hurriedly entered a retro-style office.

A man in military uniform was sitting in the office, with a leader's medal hanging on his chest, which made the man who rushed in pause for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Commander, I didn't know you were here."

The man in military uniform, with black hair and a black beard, turned his head and smiled.

"Is there anything you want to say to Xiao Shao? Should I leave?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the Speaker told us to keep an eye out, so..." The congressman's secretary seemed very reserved.

“Then let’s just say it,” Speaker Shao Zheng said.

"It's like this. You asked me to keep an eye on Su Lu's movements before. Recently, I discovered that he has been assigning people from the East Sea Magicians Association to do some things."

"But just as we were about to continue the investigation, we discovered that someone you had previously asked to keep an eye on had a conflict with Su Lu's men and even killed a high-level mage."

“And based on the information we’ve gathered, it’s highly likely related to totems,” the young, uniformed secretary said.

"The person I was keeping an eye on before?" Shao Zheng was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "You mean Lin Ming, right!"

"That's true, after all, we've already entrusted him with the affairs of the totem."

"That kid did a good job too, finding the locations of several totems. Although only one survived, did he find a new totem this time?"

"This kid shows no mercy, but he's Su Lu's dog, so killing him is fine too," Hua Junshou chuckled.

Shao Zheng smiled and turned to look at the councilor's secretary.

The secretary understood and quickly left the office, closing the door behind her.

With only two people left in the office, Hua Junshou's expression also became somewhat serious.

"You should have kept that kid's video, right?"

"Keep it. Although we've tried to block it, and it's basically not circulating in China, we can't control it overseas, so some still get in."

Shao Zheng took out a tablet and started playing a video while speaking.

The video shows Lin Ming instantly killing a million bird demons, and Hua Junshou lowered his head with a slight frown.

"This video should have been analyzed by now, right? Does this kid really have the ability to wipe out nearly a million demons in one go?"

The Chinese commander was filled with doubt. He couldn't believe that Lin Ming really had such combat power, after all, it was just too amazing!

Let alone a super-level mage, even some forbidden spells might not have this ability!

“We’ve already sent people to Peru to investigate, and we fully understand the situation.” Shao Zheng nodded. “These bird demons aren’t all normal demons. A large portion of them are demons copied using Chaos Tricks. As long as the original is killed, the copies can be eliminated as well.”

"Even so, this kid's skill far surpasses that of ordinary super-level mages. It is estimated that only an old mage who has been immersed in the super-level field for a long time can have this kind of ability."

"This kid's progress is really fast!" Hua Junshou shook his head.

Suddenly, it seemed like something else came to mind.

"This kid has now set up a confrontation with Su Lu through the totem, hasn't he? Raising his rank in the military system will make things easier for him."

"Hmm, let me think. At least we need to make sure the troops stationed abroad are clear about Lin Ming's authority. I didn't expect that there would be totems that have fallen abroad. I wonder if there will be more totems appearing abroad in the future."

“If we old guys keep an eye on him in China, there shouldn’t be any major problems, but once he’s abroad, there’ll be no one to help him.”

Shao Zheng smiled and nodded, saying, "The military's management authority is with you. The Forbidden Army had already applied for it before, and now with you added, it shouldn't be a problem to parachute in a position."

"Alright, then you go and inform that kid." Hua Junshou stroked his beard and smiled, "It's not the time for this old man to get involved."

Guangzhou Magician Tower
In Feng Zhoulong's laboratory.

"Fantastic! Fantastic! Such a perfect fusion! This creature is truly fascinating!"

On the experimental table in front of Feng Zhoulong, a vicious dog with blood-red markings and an aura of curse was being dissected.

Feng Zhoulong's eyes were filled with fanaticism, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to Lin Ming beside him. Lin Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw Feng Zhoulong's appearance.

It seems that the Frostbite Hellhound does have some effect on fusion magic.

After all, it is a commander-level summon that can only be summoned by possessing all three elements: undead, curse, and summoning.

"Professor Feng," Lin Ming called out, but Feng Zhoulong ignored him, still staring intently at the Crimson Cry Hound, as if the hound would run away if he looked away.

Lin Ming had no choice but to keep shouting.

"Professor Feng, if the Cerberus Hellhound is effective, is the Three-Headed Cerberus Hellhound effective?"

"Three-Headed Cerberus!"

Feng Zhoulong suddenly turned his head, and the eagerness in his eyes gave Lin Ming goosebumps.

"Really? Are you sure?!"

Feng Zhoulong grabbed Lin Ming's shoulder and said excitedly.

"If there really is a three-headed, cursed hellhound, then give me two more years—no! One year! No! A few months! A few more months and I might even be able to give you some results!"

"I thought this Cerberus was just a legendary creature. I've already collected the summoning and fusion rituals, but summoning the Cerberus is too difficult!"

"To cultivate necromancy, curses, and summoning skills to a high level simultaneously, and to possess special substances that the Crimson Cry Hounds like! Almost no one can achieve that!"

"And the three-headed hellhound in the fusion ritual perfectly fused these three elements!"

"So if I can really get the three-headed Cerberus to myself, I feel that if I have another six months, I should be able to successfully break through my current bottleneck!"

"Really! Really! We were so close!"

Feng Zhoulong was incredibly excited; his long-held dream had finally come true!
Lin Ming's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.

It seems that fusion magic might be born ahead of schedule. Luckily, that bastard was let go.

"Don't worry, Professor Feng, I'll bring the three-headed Cerberus back for you in a few days. You can study it first."

Lin Ming patted Feng Zhoulong on the shoulder and said.

Just then, someone came into the laboratory.

Seeing that Feng Zhoulong had resumed his research, Lin Ming went over to greet him.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an important person.

"Speaker Shao? What brings you here? Are you here to see Professor Feng?"

Shao Zheng looked at Lin Ming, shook his head, and smiled.
"I won't disturb Professor Feng while he's conducting his experiment. I'm here to see you."

"Me?" Lin Ming pointed to himself, somewhat puzzled.

“Yes.” Shao Zheng nodded, then took out a document and handed it to Lin Ming: “From now on, your power and level of secrecy within the military and the Chinese government will be increased.”

?

Lin Ming was stunned. What kind of power was this?! It was so great!

They have absolutely no right to have heard of it!

But after taking the documents from Shao Zheng, Lin Ming roughly understood.

"This is the most information that Su Lu and most of the mages under him can find out. Su Lu is currently carrying out an activity that is unknown to others."

"Although we don't know exactly what he wants to do, he has his hands in almost every country, which means he has big ambitions."

"If you go abroad again to look for totems, you can pay more attention to this."
