Chapter 73: Item Fusion part 1

"I never thought that my first time calling this number would be for this kind of thing and not about my relationship with Selina," Kayn muttered as he looked for Mayor Sebastian's number in his phone.

It wasn't that hard to find the number even though he has forgotten almost every small detail that happened during this time. That's simply because he had named Mayor Sebastian's number 'Father-in-law'.

"I didn't expect you had such a side in you," Natas can't help chuckling at the sight.

"I had my days," Kayn felt ashamed of the way the previous him used to act. He can't deny that he was indeed very childish back then.

What else could Natas expect from someone innocent?

If it was anyone else in his position right now, they would have long taken advantage of their relationship with Mayor Sebastian and his classmates. But the previous him has never thought of doing so. In fact, it was the other way around — it was Mayor Sebastian and his classmates that kept on insisting to help him.

Regardless, the current him would definitely take advantage of that position. It's too wasteful if he doesn't.

"Kayn?" A doubtful voice spoke from the phone.

"Hello father-in-law! How are you?" Kayn greeted Mayor Sebastian.

"So, did Selina cause you any trouble?"

"Actually, that's not the reason why I called,"

"You can speak upfront with me,"

"I want to ask for a favor,"

"How surprising! Tell me, what do you need?"

"Can I use your place to," Kayn turns to look at Natas, evidently asking the latter if he can reveal the term Item Fusion to Mayor Sebastian or does he have to use another term for the meantime.

Natas nodded his head, expressing that he doesn't see any problem with that.

"— perform a method called Item Fusion,"

After Kayn said that, he didn't receive any reply on the other line for quite some time.

"Can you say that again?"

"I want to use your place to perform a Item Fusion,"

"Item Fusion…?"

"Yes,"

"Let me ask you first. Are you aware of what the term Item Fusion signifies?"

"Rest assured, I am fully aware of what I am saying,"

"Where are you right now?"

Kayn looked around at his surroundings first to find a landmark before replying, "I am near the Moon Core Mall. You know the south exit part,"

"I have some men stationed nearby the Moon Core Mall. They'll take you here to my mansion,"

"Thank you, father-in-law,"

"Hahaha, I thought you no longer like calling me that,"

Kayn could only let out an awkward chuckle in response.

"Anyways, whatever happens, keep your mouth shut about the Item Fusion. Even to my men. Only reveal such information to me and me alone. Don't go around telling anyone about it. Otherwise, even I won't be able to protect you, understood?" Mayor Sebastian warned solemnly.

"I understand!" Kayn naturally knows the danger of knowing about the Item Fusion could bring to him. But to tell the truth, he has changed his mind and now he prefers letting everyone know about it. Although that would make him the target of people that hold ill will, it could also bring about people with good intentions. Moreover, in that way, he'll be able to easily separate his enemies and friends.

"Just wait for a few minutes,"

"Okay,"

"I'll wait for you in my mansion. I want to see the so-called Item Fusion for myself,"

After saying that, Mayor Sebastian ended the call.

"He said that his men will fetch us soon,"

"That's great,"

Just like what Mayor Sebastian said, a black BMW stopped in front of Kayn.

The driver side window lowered down to half and a familiar man on the other side muttered, "Young Master Kayn,"

It was the same driver that drove Kayn to his home back then.

"Hop in,"

The door of the passenger seat opened automatically.

"Excuse me," Kayn stepped inside the car with Natas following behind.

The door automatically closed and the car started driving to the direction of the Mayor's Mansion.

…..

As soon as Kayn stepped out of the car, Mayor Sebastian immediately greeted him outside the door of his mansion.

"Are you sure of what you are trying to achieve?" Mayor Sebastian is still feeling doubtful of Kayn's claim.

"I just learned of it today. So, I am also not sure," Kayn scratched his head.

"Where?"

"From a dungeon raid I participated. I found some items that exhibit strange behavior,"

"Let's continue talking inside," Mayor Sebastian suggested.

With that said, Kayn and Mayor Sebastian walked inside the mansion.

"Let's go to the basement,"

Kayn nodded his head.

They walked through the long hallway before arriving in an elevator leading to the basement.

"What do you mean by exhibiting strange behavior?"

"The items were trying to merge with each other. After I saw it, it made me recall the myth about Item Fusion. According to the book I read, it states that one of the behaviors during an Item Fusion is that two items will try to combine with one another even without anyone's intervention to form a single item,"

"Are you sure you weren't mistaken?"

"That's the reason why I will try to attempt to fuse those two items to confirm whether I was mistaken or not,"

"Hopefully you aren't,"

"We are here,"

As soon as the elevator door opened, Kayn saw a huge open space furnished to look like a huge training area rather than a basement.

The floors of the basement were covered in thick tiles, the walls weren't mere cement but tough materials from the 'Tower', while the ceiling was embedded with virtual screens that showed a video of a moving sky with a bullet proof glass protecting it.

At the side, training apparatus could be seen arranged neatly on different racks while being labeled with their name and functions.

There were also different weapons from each of the different adventurer subclasses hanging on one certain part of the wall.

"Is this where you train?" Kayn can't help but ask.

"If I have the time, yeah," Mayor Sebastian nodded.

No wonder he never sees Mayor Sebastian train despite how many times he has visited his mansion. It's actually because he trains in a secluded place like this.

"Can you show me the items?" Mayor Sebastian wanted to see the so-called strange behavior of the items. He has seen countless items in the past, but he can never imagine what exactly Kayn meant with his words.

With a wave of his hand, piles of Molten Swords, Ice Swords, Ice Bearing Daggers, and Molten Bearing Daggers started dropping on the floor.

"That many?!" Mayor Sebastian was rendered shocked at the sight. There are fifteen Molten Swords and Ice Swords while there are ten Ice Bearing Daggers and Molten Bearing Daggers. "Did the Yin Yang Dynasty really gave you all of this?"

It seems like Mayor Sebastian was informed of what he was doing today.

"I have my ways," Kayn could only say that as he doesn't want Mayor Sebastian to know his shameless action.

"Don't tell me you used my name?"

"Of course, not!" Even if he was given the courage of a lion, he would still not dare use Mayor Sebastian's name in such a small matter. If ever he uses Mayor Sebastian's name in the future, he'd make sure that it would be worth the consequences.

"Thought so," Mayor Sebastian was just making sure. He seriously doesn't like people who uses his name to get benefits for themselves. Even though there are times when that's unavoidable, especially in the case of Kayn as he is his son-in-law, he is fine as long as the latter did not use it directly.

"Anyways, I don't see any of what you've described," Until now the items are just simply staying still.

"I guess the effect has faded away. But I know how to make it happen again, that is if the book I read before is really true," Kayn approaches the piles of weapons.

"Now what?" Kayn glimpsed at Natas. The person who told him about the part concerning exhibiting strange behavior was the latter.

"Follow what I am going to tell you. First, gather mana into your hand,"

Kayn unhesitatingly complied. Superhumans are already capable of gathering mana in their hands, so that didn't pose any difficulty to him.

"Next, direct your mana to the Ice Sword,"

Controlling the mana he has gathered, Kayn directed them toward the Ice Sword.

"Cover the entire Ice Sword with your mana,"

Kayn slowly covered the entire Ice Sword with his mana.

"Then infused them into the Ice Sword,"

Whoosh!

Infusing mana into a weapon is just like pushing something into a container.

With the Ice Sword as the container, Kayn pushes the mana that covered the weapon into the container.

"Repeat the same step to the Molten Sword,"

Kayn easily repeated the method that he performed from the Ice Sword to the Molten Sword.

"You can now cut off the mana in your hand,"

Instantly, Kayn stopped gathering mana. Despite that, the Ice Sword and Molten Sword still contain the mana he infused into them.

"This is the last step in performing the Item Fusion. So, make sure to listen closely,"

Even if Natas didn't tell him about that, he would still listen to everything the latter has to say. After all, even he wants to know how to perform Item Fusion.

At this moment, he's like a kid being taught by a veteran player how to play a new game.

"Connect the mana you have infused into the Ice Sword and the Molten Sword together,"

"That's…"

"I know doing that is difficult at your current level. But it has never been easy to perform the Item Fusion,"

It's exactly as Natas has said. Although it sounded simple, controlling the mana from two different sources is actually not easy. Well, at least in his current state. When he was still the number one Hero on Earth, he could do that even in his sleep.

"I'll try my best," He can't guarantee that he could perform it successfully right now as he had never truly tried doing it in his current state. On second thought, he'd lose nothing if he tries.
