Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 702 About the Throne of Darkness Pentagram Hunt

ʼThatʼs a good question,ʼ Vicente looked at his group, particularly at Layla. ʼThe time had come for them to learn about the Throne of Darkness.ʼ”,

ʼSo you intend to hunt with them?ʼ Torne asked.

ʼNot exactly. But it is a fact that I canʼt hide the truth much longer. It would be too risky to attack the Nixlasʼ Shadows without me having at least two magical essences on the throne. But Iʼll have to justify a few things to them,ʼ Vicente considered.

He knew it would be difficult to explain that he wanted to hunt pentagrams from the Dark Path.

The pentagram he had in the crystal around his neck didnʼt interest him. He wanted all of his Throne of Darkness pentagrams to be cyan.

As long as he did that, it was very possible that when he completed the 5 or 6 pentagrams of this magical form, the yellow essence of this magical form would develop to the indigo grade!

That would probably make him the strongest on the continent!

However, getting five Dark Path cyan pentagrams compatible with him would not be easy at all!

He didnʼt want to hunt down all the pentagrams he could absorb in his second magic form right away. He wanted ʼonlyʼ two, which frankly would be a lot of work and probably cost them a few months of hunting.

ʼIʼll tell them the truth when I get my 5th pentagram for my first Magic Gem,ʼ Vicente decided. ʼI will show them how a Dark Path magician can be as reliable and non-chaotic as the rumors and stereotypes make them out to be.

Iʼll show them the potential of the throne against vampires. I believe that my second magical form will put me on the same level as a superior vampire.ʼ

ʼYes, I agree,ʼ Torne said. ʼPerhaps it will even put you in a better position, master. If you had full control of your throne when you faced that 3rd stage vampire, you could have beaten him even if you were one level weaker. Of course, you would have had to have three pentagrams in that essence back then, but I think you would have been even stronger than a superior vampire of the same level and could have fought someone of a higher level.ʼ

ʼLetʼs prepare for that moment,ʼ Vicente ended the topic with a smile on his face as he returned to Casey and Laylaʼs side.

”So? Did you make the most of your opportunity?” Layla asked.

”Hmm, Iʼll probably move up a level after my hunt... That means we have to go after my fifth essence,” he commented to them.

”That would be great,” Casey said with an anxious look on his face. Seeing a monster like Vicente evolve was great!

Since they were allies and not enemies, Casey was always excited about Vicenteʼs progress.

Layla was also looking forward to this moment and couldnʼt help but let her eyes sparkle with anticipation.

”Perhaps you will reverse the current disaster if you become a Paragon with five pentagrams, Vicente,” she commented, clenching her fists.

”Maybe not,” he laughed bitterly. ”I hate to be pessimistic, but I fear that civilization as we know it will be gone by the time we finish this journey.

Think of all the monsters and magical creatures we will meet along the way. Itʼs not just vampires at work. There are so many creatures advancing against the human domains... I wonder how many cities will survive in the next few months?

Iʼm just one, Layla. Maybe I can do something about the vampires and magical creatures where I am. But the Polaris Realm is too big. I couldnʼt protect this continent and completely reverse the situation that started months ago unless I became an Archmage.”

”Archmage, huh?” Casey muttered, knowing that even Vicente wouldnʼt become an Archmage soon.

Vicente had been a Sovereign for about four years. As he was about to turn 22, this young man had been cultivating mana for about 8 years.

ʼConsidering that he will advance in a few more months, it will take him 8 years to become a Low-level Paragon... Itʼs possible that it will take him 8 years to become a High-level Paragon, and 16 years to become an Archmage.

Sigh! That would make 24 years of waiting. Everything the vampires are planning would have happened by then,ʼ Casey thought to himself.

”Then I hope you at least protect the Seidel Kingdom,” Layla commented. ”As long as we can survive the crisis until you become Archmage, thereʼs hope.”

Layla knew how mana cultivation worked, so she figured it would take Vicente to get to the 6th stage as long as Casey thought.

”Weʼll probably be Paragons by then... Anyway, I hope itʼs not as bad as you think. Otherwise, there may be no turning back. At least not in our lifetime.”

If human life on the continent were reduced to 1% of its pre-

The Purification numbers, it could take millennia for the human community to regain its old numbers!

Reproduction becomes more difficult as one became stronger. Also, if many of the people had to live in situations of constant stress and struggle, the conditions for restoring the old numbers would be even more unfavorable.

In that case, even if they lived in the Polaris Realm for thousands and thousands of years, they might die long before the continent returned to normal.

That scared them!

”Letʼs hope it doesnʼt come to that,” Layla said as she watched Sarah finish her cultivation. ”Weʼll do our best to deal with the crisis when we get back. The vampires should ravage the north now, but in a few years, theyʼll reach the south.”

The subject died down as Sarah showed her four pentagrams, revealing her first essence, newly evolved to the orange grade.

Virtually everyone in the group had achieved such evolutions so far. As one more achieved this transformation, the three magicians congratulated Sarah on her improvement.

Vicente hugged Sarah, his embrace giving her goosebumps all over her body.

Unfortunately, neither of them had relaxed and exchange deeper, warmer body ʼcaressesʼ. Since leaving the kingdom, Vicente had tended to the carnal needs of each of the three women in the group only once. They had traveled without enjoying each otherʼs bodies, as they were at too dangerous a point in their journey to play that way.

Still, Layla, Lina, and Sarah naturally suppressed many of their desires. A single touch from Vicente was enough to make their bodies feel different...

Unfortunately for Sarah, nothing would happen today. She would have to suppress her desires for the time being while they were on an important part of their journey.

But soon, with the end of Linaʼs and Roryʼs cultivation, it would be time for them to go in search of Roryʼs pentagram!
