Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 876 New Allies and Departure from the Majestic Treefrog Grove

Later that day, two enormous shadows hovered over the Qilin Tribe, drawing the attention of the entire tribe to two large birds approaching their village.

As the two shadows approached the tribe, they slowed down and lowered their altitude, preparing to land.

When Vicente looked up and saw the figure of the Roc he had met days ago, he realized who the second bird next to the beast was.

”It seems the time has come for us to leave,” he said to Victor and Elmo, who were at his side in this world, along with the member of the Qilin Tribe who would soon travel with them.

Tenglin looked at the two creatures and was the first to move to the outside of the village where the two birds had landed.

Vicente and his two companions followed behind Tenglin and soon saw the tribal elders joining them to greet the great Roc, an old friend of the tribe.

They arrived at the spot where the two winged beasts had landed; the humans waving their hands in front of their faces as the dust in the arca made it difficult to see.

The elders of the Qilin Tribe greeted the Intermediate Archmage Roc with greetings and good-natured cheers.

Not all the tribes in Majestic Treefrog Grove were friends. Some tribes simply coexisted with others. But the Qilins and the Rocs were close.

”Vicente Fuller, as promised, Iʼve brought my junior to join your group.” The big Roc said as he looked at the human boy. ”The one next to me is Acidbelly. He is at the peak level of a Beginner Archmage, so I believe he will contribute well to your group.”

”Oh? Then I thank the elder and Acidbelly for deciding to join us on this journey.” Vicente gladly obliged, not doubting the power of this huge winged creature.

Even though Acidbellyʼs cultivation, like Tenglinʼs, was not as high as Victor and Elmoʼs, these two beasts could certainly fight as well or even better than them. After all, they were extremely powerful breeds.

As they were about to advance to the next level, these two creatures could become even more important to the group as they faced challenges and opportunities.

One elder of the Qilin Tribe smiled and said. ”Acidbelly is going to join the group? I feel like Vicente and his peopleʼs chances just got a lot better, hehe.”

Acidbelly wasnʼt just any member of the Rocs Tribe. Heʼs a ”junior” Archmage, known in the tribe for his cultivation speed and battlefield prowess.

”He needs a challenge to consolidate. Fighting those damn vampires will help him.” The Intermediate Archmage of the Roc Tribe said.

Acidbelly looked at Vicente and noticed how out of sorts this human was. Realizing his leader had not lied to him, he felt more comfortable knowing he would not be traveling with just any Paragon,

”When do we leave?” He asked as his body became smaller than it actually was. Magical creatures could use their mana to make their bodies smaller. But the opposite was not true. If you were too small, it was almost impossible to get bigger.

”We are ready. If you agree, we can leave today.” Vicente said to the winged creature, who immediately looked at his leader.

The stronger Roc looked at Vicente with some doubt. ”Before you leave, tell me what your plans are. The area is surrounded by vampires and monsters, right? How will you get past them?”

”The same way we enter the area. Weʼll use the Dragon Tribeʼs territory to make our crossing. It will be more difficult to succeed this time because of the presence of Acidbelly and Tanglin, but I believe it is the only alternative.

Our group is waiting for us near the crossing point. Once we join them, weʼll head to our destination in The Ivory Desert.”

”Wonʼt that be dangerous?” One Qilin asked.

”It will be, but we have little time to lose. We must leave before the pentagram appears, scout the area, and better understand where the trouble will come from.

The journey should take about two months, so we must leave soon to avoid being late. We donʼt know what problems will arise on the way, so itʼs better to leave early than late.” Vicente answered the question of most of the surrounding creatures.

”In that case, I wish you good luck. I hope to see you again if you succeed on this journey.” The Intermediate Archmage Roc said in a hopeful tone.

Vicente and his companions said their goodbyes, and the three of them quickly made their way alongside their two new companions.

Tanglin and Acidbelly flew with them, heading west from the magical region they were

in.

”Will the dragons let us use their territory? Theyʼre difficult to deal with.” Acidbelly asked.

”I think so. I made a deal with them, so I doubt theyʼll stop us,” Vicente replied as he looked at the big Roc, big enough to carry the group on his large back.

”By the way, do you mind if we ride on your back?” He asked with a smile.

The gigantic bird looked at him silently, but the question wasnʼt strange. Rocs were known to carry even mammoths on their backs, and it wasnʼt uncommon for elders of the race to carry their juniors and allies on their backs for special missions. Acidbelly was faster than anyone else there, so he saw no problem. They all nodded in agreement and settled on his big back, where they could even cultivate while flying if they wanted to.

Tanglin sat down in a position where he could see the terrain ahead and asked Vicente with a palpable fear in his voice. ”By the way, what are your expectations for the battle? The elders just told me weʼll probably have to face superior 5th stage vampires soon.”

”I think we have two to six months of peace before weʼre hunted by vampires-if we donʼt encounter any superior vampires that strong first. But after that, itʼs likely they will hunt us down, and all we can do is fight back or hide. So be prepared. Our peace will soon be over.”
