Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 576 Face to Face with the Enemy

?ʼCongratulations, master. You are now an Earth Sovereign,ʼ Torne said with a pleased tone.

Vicente looked at the ghost within his consciousness and felt an unprecedented power coursing through his existence.

Advancing one stage was always excellent. Whenever one advanced one level, oneʼs strength would grow tremendously, and oneʼs previous level would seem extremely insignificant.

The feeling of euphoria after advancing was common, but even though Vicente felt it, he still thanked his slave. ”Youʼve helped me a lot, old Torne. You even seized the moment to advance to the end of the 4th stage! Congratulations on becoming a Sky Sovereign!”

”I was lucky. Some of the essences from the resources I consumed in The Skull City were still in my spirit body. When the master evolved, I felt something change in me, and I took the chance to become a little stronger as well,” Torne commented. ”Anyway, now we can proceed with our plans much more smoothly, master.

With your progress, I think youʼll be able to use some of your Throne of Darkness without getting seriously hurt. But now that youʼve advanced, I can feel how incredible your second magical form is, master.”

”Oh?”

”Even with your advancement to the 4th stage, you still wonʼt be able to use the Throne of Darkness casually,” Torne said as he looked in the direction of the magical form that still dominated Vicenteʼs space of consciousness, even though his first form grew in size with every advance this young man made.

Vicente commented. ”I expected this. When I awakened my powers, I was under the impression that I would not be able to use this essence until I reached my fifth pentagram.”

”That wonʼt be necessary,” Torne said. ”That would indeed happen if you had an ordinary pentagram configuration. But after you reach your fourth pentagram, you will most likely have a yellow pentagram, two green ones, and a cyan one. That will give your magical foundation a similar quality and solidity to what a normal person with 5 pentagrams would have.

So, I think youʼll be able to start using your second magical form without any problems once you get your cyan pentagram. Until then, itʼs best not to rely on it. Youʼll still have problems using this magical form.

Thatʼs how powerful your Throne of Darkness is!ʼ

Vicente kept these words in his mind while he couldnʼt help but feel excited that his total power would be no longer limited.

He opened his eyes back in the cave where Casey and Layla were at his side; they were both curious to talk to him.

”Congratulations on your breakthrough, Vicente,” Casey said with a smile, looking at the guy in front of him and not being able to believe that this guy was between 16 and 17 years old.

Layla said something similar as she hugged her man, feeling happy for him but also motivated to push herself to get stronger and reach the 4th stage.

”Thanks for the words. Now that Iʼm in the 4th stage, our chances of achieving our goals here have greatly increased. My strength has improved a lot as a result.” He smiled as he felt each of his pentagram-related powers grow stronger.

His first pentagram had not completed its evolution to the yellow grade, and the second pentagram was still far from the cyan grade. So, he didnʼt gain any additional abilities with this advancement to the 4th stage.

However, the range of his powers, the mass of metals he could affect, and the extent to which he could affect the metals in the bodies of living beings all evolved significantly with his advancement!

His ability to manipulate thoughts had greatly improved, and the combination of his powers would be even more efficient from now on.

”When will we act?” Casey asked, eager to leave his hiding place.

”Tomorrow,” Vicente answered directly. ”Iʼll familiarize myself with my new stage, and then weʼll go and deal with Dax.”

”What are we going to do?” Layla asked.

”You will wait for me outside the city. Iʼll fight Dax and possibly the elders of the Bone Mountains sect. It will be dangerous, so youʼd better not come with me.” He thought about how these two could best help him. ”But be prepared to act. I may need you two to help me cover my tracks when we flee to the Kenyth Empire.”

The two agreed and soon began to prepare for this action.

Now that Vicente had advanced, time would pass quickly, and soon, it would be time for them to part!

...

While Layla and Casey made their way to the place where they had agreed to meet Vicente, this young man made his way all the way to Oldbarrow, easily entering the city.

He went straight to Daxʼs sect, hiding his level while disguising himself as a delivery man.

When he arrived at the entrance to the Bone Mountains sect, he walked straight up to one of the guards.

”Good morning, friend. I have a delivery for His Excellency Dax Lewis.”

The mages near the entrance soon checked Vicente for suspicious signs while someone warned the elder Dax about this delivery.

”Where is this package?” One of the guards asked. ”The elder said he will receive it.”

Vicente pulled an arm-sized box out of his spatial ring and handed it to the guard. ”There is also this letter. The person who sent it said to deliver it with the box.”

”Hmm, well, Iʼll do that.” The guard said before he took Vicenteʼs last present to Dax.

As he watched the guard leave, Vicente smiled, imagining that this would be enough to draw his enemy to him.

Then he left the area and quietly went to a place he had already chosen to deal with Dax, not caring that members of the Bone Mountains were following him.

...

After receiving one of the body parts of his son and wife that were missing from the previous gift, Dax didnʼt hesitate to leave his sectʼs headquarters and head toward Vicente.

In the letter he received, Vicente invited him to come to him and finally settle their differences.

Furious at his enemyʼs provocations, Dax left his property without thinking much about what would happen, while his men who stayed behind could only imagine the worst.

Soon, other elders of the sect would learn of Vicenteʼs gift and Daxʼs departure, and the Sovereigns would set out to deal with the problem.

But before people less connected to Vicenteʼs problem with Dax could get to them, the two would face each other for the first time in their lives!

Vicente didnʼt hide his appearance or his level now, so when he saw this young man, Dax couldnʼt help but be surprised, as he had never seen such a person before in his life.

Why would someone like that tease him?

”Brat, who are you? Are you responsible for the death of my wife and son?” Dax asked as he stopped in a wooded area near one of Oldbarrowʼs exits.
