Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 869 What Comes After the 7th Stage

”Thank you. I will face whatever stands in my way. I will not accept to be killed so easily.” Vicente said firmly as he clenched one of his fists and gestured to the group of six elves.”,

These elders made no further comment about Vicenteʼs fate, leaving him to struggle to change his own fate.

One of them then asked a question that was on the minds of all his companions. ”Vicente, did the First Elder tell you about the Upper Continent and our goal?”

”Yes, he told me that in the past we were connected to the Upper Continent, but that something has changed. He also told me about the plan to reconnect the two continents and that there was a group in that place that I should join to do so,” Vicente replied as he saw the serious looks on the eldersʼ faces.

Even though they werenʼt as worried about Vicenteʼs future as they thought the young man would die, they saw no problem in talking to him about this place and their plans.

If Vicente already knew all this, then talking to him might help them in some way, even if he wasnʼt destined to go to the Upper Continent himself. Vicente himself might not live long, but until he died, the possibilities were endless.

If he prepared someone in his place to complete this mission, it would be very good for the creatures of Majestic Treefrog Grove.

But not only that, as much as Vicente would probably die before he had the chance to go to the Upper Continent, it was good for their interests to make him feel motivated to fight the vampires in the Polaris Realm.

”The dragons want to restore the way things worked over a million years ago,” said one of the three women in this group of tribal elders. ”That would be nice, but we think it will be impossible to achieve.

The Upper Continent is stronger than the Polaris Realm. We donʼt know the exact reason for the changeover a million years ago, but we believe it is this difference in strength.

What we want for this level is not the same as what the dragons want. Whoever goes to the Upper Continent to join our ancestors should focus on getting the natives of the Upper Continent to at least the 5th stage to cross the barrier between the two continents.

This would be enough for some of the outside races of our continent to let their natural predators enter the Polaris Realm again.”

”It would also be good to let magical beings weaker than Magus cross over to this continent.”

What the dragons wanted was more ambitious, to ensure that anyone willing to brave the dangers of the journey between the two continents could make it from one side to the other.

But the elves thought that would be too difficult, so they wanted something more modest.

One of the pointy-eared men said. ”Someone powerful is behind this move, so you should prepare yourself if you think you will survive to go to the Upper Continent.”

”Someone did this?” Vicente asked.

To make such a powerful change, such a being would have to be frighteningly powerful!

”Certainly. On the Upper Continent, there are magical beings that far exceed Magusʼ strength. As impressive as it may seem to us, it shouldnʼt be that shocking to the people on the continent. Still, whoever did it must have a prestigious position and be very strong, even by the standards of such lands.”

”No wonder weʼve been trying to solve this problem for hundreds of thousands of years.” Said one of the women with a sigh.

”I understand. Iʼll keep these problems in mind.” Vicente said as he considered the problems this might cause him.

ʼIt seems if I leave, it will be very difficult to return or see those I left behind in the Polaris Realm... I must be able to change things so that at least Paragons and Archmages can get from one side to the other.ʼ He thought of his family and sighing as he thought of how little time he might have in the Polaris Realm before he had to go far away.

The six elders rose from their seats, signaling the end of their first meeting.

”Unfortunately, we know little about the situation on the Upper Continent. As the dragons must have told you, our ancestors didnʼt prepare for the change between the continents.

At one point in our history, we could have come and gone from both sides, as long as we accepted the dangers of the journey. We could have kept a record of the Upper Continent, but why would we do that with a land where we could come and go easily?

In the end, when things changed, they only had basic knowledge of the Upper Continent...”

”Anyway, weʼll try to predict your future and tell you exactly when your cyan pentagram will appear. For now, accompany the elder Aravae. She will take you to a place where you can wait for us,” said their eldest after a long sigh of defeat.

Vicente thanked them for the help they were willing to give him, before one of the three elves there, a woman with blond hair, approached him to lead him to his waiting place.

The other five went elsewhere while she said to him. ”Come with me. Weʼll let you cultivate in one of the tribeʼs special areas. This will help you while you wait.”

”Hmm, all right.” Vicente followed behind this beautiful figure, while he couldnʼt help but think about the things they had just talked about.

”Elder, do you know the level that follows the Magus stage?”

She looked back and smiled. ”Itʼs one of the few things we know. After the Magus stage comes the Grand Magus. Then comes Sorcerer, and finally Transcendent.

We know little about these levels, but considering how long an Archmage can live on our continent, we imagine a Transcendent is almost immortal, if not actually immortal.

We canʼt imagine how strong they are, but they are certainly difficult beings to deal with.

On the Upper Continent, not only are there more magical beings than in the Polaris Realm, but there are also indigo pentagrams, which are as easy to find there as green pentagrams are on our continent.

There are also violet pentagrams. This type of pentagram is ideal for hunting at the beginning of the 8th stage. It is said that someone with 2 violet pentagrams is practically a god on the Upper Continent.”

”Violet?”
