Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

914  The Power of 6th Stage Armor

As soon as they left the space protected by the formations, Vicente and his group flew south.

The strongest enemies were close to them, approaching from the east and west, while some weaker ones were ahead, positioned offensively, ready to launch attacks.

”Ignore them.” Vicente eyed his companions. ”Letʼs make a quick escape and distance ourselves as much as possible. Once weʼre out of the Citadelʼs sealʼs reach, we can teleport even farther away from here.”

He wrapped his hands around the device he had received from the Dragon Tribe, which could teleport them away should the need arise.

ʼI was only going to use it when I had to face Demien. But now that Iʼve reached the 6th stage, the most important thing is to avoid those monsters and hunt down my 11th pentagram.ʼ

Vicente knew what he had to do, and he was willing to risk losing such an artifact in order to escape the group that was pursuing them.

As they flew south, the armor took up position, falling back as the enemies approached.

Ready to distract the enemies so Vicente and the others could succeed in their escape, the artificial metallic creatures were the first to move in the battle to escape the Citadel.

Five armors joined forces against the Master Archmage, simultaneously using their creatorʼs electromagnetic powers to slow the creature down.

Instantly, a suppressive force washed over the strongest monster in the area, forcing it to slow its movement speed by 70% for a moment.

The vampire Archmages understood the abilities of these armors simultaneously with the strongest monster present, while the other armors attacked them.

Using the knowledge they had inherited from Vicente and their special powers, the artificial creatures went in search of what was most precious to vampires: their souls.

One of these metal beings clasped its hands together at chest level and a golden core of light appeared in the darkness.

Like a cannon, the beacon shot a burst of light, causing its target to raise its arms to shield its eyes, expressing its discomfort, its face lines visible to everyone.

Light was one of the most dangerous elements used against vampires. If it werenʼt because it was so rare to find creatures that were compatible with light, Light Path magicians would be the natural suppressors of monsters and vampires, not Dark Path creatures.

Vicenteʼs other armors displayed similar abilities, some wielding lightsabers, others invoking other powers, using the power of strong winds capable of tearing enormous boulders out of the ground, or ice capable of freezing everything.

The area around the Citadelʼs southern exit became chaotic. In some parts of the area, trees burned, sending huge plumes of smoke into the air.

A lot of trees, stones, and dust flew into the air, making it difficult to see the area, while any living being there could be hit by the large objects moving fast in the air.

For a moment, the wind-blown fragments of the forest turned into weapons that were more powerful than cannonballs.

Boom!

Parts of the forest area were covered in ice, and a patch of frozen desert covered undestroyed trees, rocks, and parts of the road leading to the Citadel.

All of this happened in a matter of seconds, with the 6th stage robot armor showing its power to the world, terrifying even the strongest monsters in the area.

”Shit! What monsters are those?” asked one vampire as he dodged an attack of ice arrows fired in his direction.

The fighting 6th stage armor wasnʼt strong enough to kill them, but it wasnʼt so weak that the enemies could ignore them or even get rid of them easily!

In a few moments, Vicente and his group had increased their initial advantage from a few dozen meters away from the strongest in the area to three hundred meters.

Nearing the end of the area of the sealʼs influence over the Citadel, Vicenteʼs group was on the verge of escaping.

One vampire saw it when he noticed the artifact in one of Vicenteʼs hands, and for a moment, he felt drops of sweat trickle down his forehead.

”Theyʼre getting away! Stop them!” shouted the creature, who couldnʼt overcome his opponents in time.

Frustrated by the problem, the Cthulhu unleashed its wrath, its massive tentacles thrashing towards the armors that dared to restrain it.

With tentacles covered in mana, it reached the metallic creatures around it in a single instant, overpowering their combined suppression and preparing to crush them with its body.

For a moment, the armor reached by the Cthulhuʼs tentacles resisted, their bodies withstanding the pressure that tried to crush them as they penetrated the mighty Master Archmageʼs body.

They elicited cries of pain from the monstrous creature, but they could go no further in the face of a being so much more powerful than they were.

Boom!

All the armor that the Cthulhu had attacked exploded, their suppressive effects on him gone, allowing him to move freely against Vicente and the others.

The creature took the lead, abandoning its allies in search of the five creatures on the run.

At this point, Vicente merged his mana with that of his four companions and then used the dragonʼs device, infusing 80% of his mana into the teleportation artifact.

Having just reached the beginning of the area unaffected by the vampire seal, he didnʼt hesitate to take this important.

His body and those of his companions vibrated for a few moments as the giant body of the Cthulhu came close to them.

Qiang thought, for a moment, they wouldnʼt escape when he saw the enemyʼs tentacle attack coming towards them, something that could kill half of the group if it reached them.

He saw how weak he still was against one of the strongest on the continent, and realized he still had a long way to go if he wanted to become a peak expert.

The second before it reached them, however, they all disappeared under the watchful eyes of every single enemy.

”NOOO!” one woman fighting against the armor said in a high-pitched tone, sending shivers down the spines of everyone left behind.
