Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 420 Invading the Enemy Outpost?

The moment Vicente moved, one of the men from The Faceless Ones suddenly drew the sword at his waist and charged at one of the weakest of the group at the door of that building.

Everything happened very quickly. One moment, they were talking about Cesar, and the next, a level 5 Acolyte appeared in front of a woman of the same level and attacked her neck with his sword.

Swooish!

This attack was so unexpected that neither side moved at the first moment of the attack, watching as the man got closer and closer to a 2nd-stage Sacred Devotee.

Just as his sword was about to strike the womanʼs neck, one of the Mages from the Congregation of Revelation group of investigators rushed in to save her companionʼs life.

But the Acolyte was already too close to succeed, and the Mage who stepped in only managed to make the manʼs blow miss the vital point of his target.

”Shit!” The others in the Congregation of Revelations group shouted as they moved their mana through their bodies, preparing for battle.

The men of The Faceless Ones paled at the movement of one of their own, moving their energy in self-defense as well.

”Shit! What did that bastard do?” A Mid-level Mage raised his voice, while no one there noticed Vicenteʼs subtle manipulation.

They were so focused on each other, so preoccupied with the previous problem, that when they were surprised like that, no one there had time to sense Vicenteʼs movements and blame others.

Not only were they too focused on other things, but from the moment that man started attacking, the only thing on their minds was the level 5 Acolyteʼs strange behavior.

”Aaaaagh!” The woman felt the blade of her opponentʼs sword cut into her collarbone while the man had a horrible expression on his face.

But even after the Mageʼs interference prevented him from cutting his targetʼs neck, the man didnʼt stop. When he frighteningly saw the cut at the level of the womanʼs collarbone, he moved again to strike deadly once more.

”Are you crazy?” One of the women shouted angrily.

But at that moment, several other Acolytes of The Faceless Ones appeared in the surrounding area and attacked in the direction of this group of investigators.

”Shit! Itʼs a fucking trap! They want to wipe us out!” One of the two men from the Congregation of Revelations group shouted.

”No! Thatʼs not what...” One of The Faceless Onesʼ members was about to say when he felt one of the opposing Mages lunge at him, forcing him to close his mouth as he defended himself.

Clang!

”You bastards! Thereʼs no turning back for you now! Weʼre going to punish you, no matter what it takes!” One of the strongest of these women shouted as the others in her group began to fight with the opponents in the area.

At this point, Vicente began manipulating the weaker members of that group of investigators, getting the level 5 Acolytes to attack members of The Faceless Ones fatally.

While doing so, he moved around the area to avoid making his position too obvious.

ʼI will let eight Acolytes of that faction die at the hands of these three investigators and then let the rest die.ʼ He pondered as he acted.

Amid this, he saw Layla arrive near where the battle was unfolding.

As she stopped to wait for the moment to enter the building, Layla realized what Vicente was doing when she saw how strangely some of her colleagues were behaving.

ʼIs he controlling them?ʼ She gave Vicente a strange look, not liking how he used people from the Congregation of Revelations.

But she couldnʼt stop him. He was using these people to their advantage so that the chances of them rescuing Jasmine would be better.

Between Jasmine and those level 5 Acolytes, Layla gave her friend much more importance!

Thus, in less than 30 seconds since the unexpected attack by one of the men from The Faceless Ones, 10 Acolytes were already dead in the vicinity of that building, most of them from that local group, but one man and one woman from the Congregation of Revelations had died there too.

That further increased the anger of the stronger people, who were already using their best skills and spells to attack with the intention of killing their opponents.

While exchanging deadly blows, most of them didnʼt have time to talk amid the battle and show how strange the situation was.

But Nash, the strongest among them, finally managed to notice something while facing the two strongest people in the group of investigators.

ʼSomeone is behind this!ʼ He came to this conclusion while trying to find the person responsible for this strange and problematic situation.

As he did this while fighting two women, he looked to one side of his building, ignoring the other people fighting nearby, and saw a crater there.

From there, he could feel a disturbing magical fluctuation, something he could also sense in the last Acolyte of the group of investigators fighting there.

”Damn you! Youʼll pay for this!” He shouted as he ran towards the crater, leaving the two enemy Mages behind without much difficulty.

He could leave this place, or even kill the members of the Congregation of Revelation there, whenever he wanted. He hadnʼt done anything like that simply because he didnʼt want any major problems with that organization.

But the moment he found the real culprit of this incident, he moved to capture him, leaving everyone behind.

”Damn! A High-level Mage is really strong!” One of the two women said as she saw the enemy enter the building through a crater.

”What are we going to do?” The other asked.

”Stay here with the others. Try to subdue these people with as little killing as possible. I want to interrogate each of them afterward.”

”Okay.”

”Iʼll follow that man to see whatʼs going on.” The strongest Mid-level Mage went to the same place as Nash, while more bodies appeared on the outskirts of this outpost.

Of the six investigators who had knocked on the door of The Faceless Ones moments ago, only three remained. One of them was the woman who had just entered the enemy building, while the other two remaining Mages stood and fought their opponents.

More than 15 people from The Faceless Ones had died in those moments of irrational conflict, and even two Low-level Mages had fallen in front of the Congregation of Revelations Mages.

”Shit! Whatʼs going on?” One of the several Mages from The Faceless Ones faction standing around wondered, knowing that this would cause them endless problems even though they had no intention of starting this battle.

Looking at their companions in the area, the other Mages in this group were basically thinking the same thing. ʼKill these enemies and get out of here as soon as possible!ʼ
