Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 797 Ninaʼs Chance

Four days after arriving in Metal City, Vicente had already eliminated the monsters about 50 kilometers from his city limits.”,

With Onyx, Torne, and Lauren working alongside him in the city, he quickly pushed the boundaries of where his population could go, advancing from inside the city to a few dozen kilometers outside the city.

By setting up fences around this area and monitoring stations, the city could now explore the nearby terrain and even extend its boundaries if the local government so desired.

Vicente had already upgraded the cityʼs defenses, and now only a high-level being at the 5th stage could threaten Metal City. Anything weaker than that would be stopped before it even approached the city!

With all of this done that afternoon, Vicente returned home with Nina and Lauren, who had accompanied him on this journey, one to fight the monsters and the other to get her pentagram.

Nina had absorbed her third pentagram and gained a new ability, Mana Parasite, with which she could parasitize opponents or even chase specific opponents without having to move herself.

For example, with this new ability, she could create a mana parasite, send it after a certain type of creature, and it would hunt it down and gradually drain its life force without her having to get involved. Her only job would be to activate the ability at the moment the parasite was created and give it the orders. After that, she could turn her attention to other things and receive the results later.

Nina could become stronger by absorbing the life force of her enemies. Then, when the parasite had finished its work and returned to her, she could use it to strengthen herself.

But the efficiency of this process wasnʼt very high. Letʼs say the mana of a Low-level Mage was 2,000 thousand units. Even if the parasite absorbed all the vital energy of an opponent with that level of power, it would only contribute 10 units of mana to Nina.

The good thing was that she could cast multiple parasites at once, and the mana from this form of cultivation wouldnʼt destabilize her magical foundation like external resources might.

Soon after gaining this ability, Nina used all of her mana to create 5 parasites and released them to hunt 3rd stage monstrous creatures beyond the borders of her city.

Now she returned home with her brothers, with Vicente silently thinking about what to do next, while Lauren ʼlookedʼ at her with a smile on her face.

Lauren still couldnʼt remember her actual memories with her family. But after receiving Ninaʼs memories and thinking about how she felt about this girl, she no longer thought she wasnʼt Vicenteʼs and Ninaʼs sister.

She accepted this about herself, and although she didnʼt treat Vicente as her younger brother, she had treated Nina that way since she arrived in the city.

Sensing her little sisterʼs potential, she couldnʼt help but feel a strange satisfaction in her heart. It was much more important to her than the admiration of the masses of townspeople, which Vicente had in abundance.

”Iʼll stay in the city for two more days and then Iʼll leave to solve the problems of the province.” Vicente said, while Prisiche followed them in silence, a few steps behind the trio of siblings.

”Is it not too early for this? I presumed you would extend your visit before taking your leave.” Nina fixed a serious gaze on her brother.

”Iʼm leaving Lauren to look after the city in my absence, and things here have developed faster than I thought. Anyway, Iʼm going to build the artifacts for the local men and then Iʼm going to upgrade the provinceʼs railroads before I go to Ironcrest.”

Ironcrest was currently the most vulnerable city in the entire province. The Low-level Paragon who had come with Vicente from the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn was there with Sarah, but even so, what the two of them could do was nothing compared to his abilities.

”Thatʼs good. You should really do that.” Lauren commented, imagining it would be nice to get away from her annoying brother for a few days.

After more than a year and a half of living next to Vicente daily, she could finally get a few days away from that guy!

”Sigh! All right, then.” Nina sighed.

”Take the opportunity to generate more of your parasites and try to get stronger quickly,” Vicente advised Nina.

”I have a feeling I wouldnʼt be able to produce parasites the way you think. I think I can make 5 more of them and then I wonʼt be able to make any more until they come back to me.” She explained a bit more about her ability.

”In order to create more parasites, would you need to increase your strength?” Lauren asked, with a curious tone in her voice.

”Yes, that would be the case.” Nina nodded.

”Then do as much as you can and concentrate on your cultivation. With such a wonderful talent and such a fantastic ability, you should be able to reach mid-level in no time.” Vicente said as he looked at Nina with great expectations.

”When you become an Earth Sovereign, Iʼll allow you to form your own battalion and have the independence to move around the Seidel Kingdom.”

When Nina heard her brotherʼs words, her eyes immediately sparked with excitement. Currently, she is unable to travel beyond the limits of Metal City. This trip of the last few days was the farthest she had gone since the beginning of the disaster in the kingdom.

However, her true aspiration was to explore the battlefields and actively contribute to her familyʼs efforts.

”Iʼll do my best!” She promised with a smile on her face as the group headed back to the city.

As soon as they arrived, Nina ran back to the Fuller mansion, with Lauren following behind after showing her dissatisfaction with Vicenteʼs earlier comment.

He just smiled bitterly before heading off to where the cityʼs materials should already be waiting for him to create powerful artifacts.
