Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1033  View of the Sea

Towards the end of the afternoon on the groupʼs last day of travel, Vicente spotted the vast and seemingly infinite sea on the horizon, watching their final destination at Light Cay with a smile on his face.

The convoyʼs group of carriages continued traveling up the final mountain peak on their way, from where they had a wide view of the islandʼs southern coast, where they would begin to descend in the next few minutes.

Between tonight and early next morning, they would be at their destination, where Nanʼs ship was waiting for their group!

Larissa looked out over the Sea of Stars, where she could finally begin her search for her fellow friends from her plane. Like Vicente, she wanted to explore Anicane and better understand the laws behind this great world.

Meanwhile, Nan and her two advisors were also looking at the sea in the distance, finally close to returning home. They were worried about what had happened in their homeland in the seven or so years since their departure.

Nanʼs tribe was not weak. They had great experts and many allies, so she was confident that her people had not succumbed in the meantime. But she and her companions didnʼt know about their friends and family who might have fallen. That was what worried them.

But experts as strong as them, with many years of experience, were not overwhelmed by worries beyond their control. Despite their worries, they were more focused on Light Cayʼs imminent departure and the successes they had had on the island during their years on the mission.

ʼWeʼre finally returning.ʼ Nan thought silently, enjoying the view and the refreshing breeze at the end of the day, while the window of her carriage was open. ʼThese last few days have been very quiet and everything shows that tomorrow afternoon we will leave the island without further ado.ʼ

She looked at Vicenteʼs face and sighed. ʼNow all we have left is the challenges of the sea voyage. I hope he can help us maintain our group numbers at the end of the journey.ʼ

Journeys across the Sea of Stars were naturally fraught with danger. Nanʼs group experienced this for themselves, having lost a third of their numbers before reaching Light Cay because of these dangers.

Because of the dangers ahead, Nanʼs satisfaction was restrained. Getting back was great, but part of her heart was filled with worry about the journey, with expectations for Vicenteʼs action.

However, while she was thinking about this, ignoring her surroundings, focused on Vicente, she felt him suddenly disappear from her side, while a strong aura left the confines of his soul to show itself in the surroundings.

Frowning in incomprehension, Nan looked around her carriage, noticing her advisors turning pale. As soon as her eyes reached the opposite side of the sea, outside the carriage, she saw her men, led by Vicente, positioning themselves against a group that had come out of nowhere and started attacking them.

She paled as she felt the auras of the enemies, mid-level Grand Magus!

”What?” she asked in shock as she moved to get out of her carriage.

But as she reached for the door handle, her two advisors, as well as Larissa, stopped her.

”Leave that to Vicente,” Larissa said in a deep tone, aware that in a situation like that, there was nothing they could do to help.

Rex stopped in front of the carriage and prepared to defend the group from enemy attacks, which were obviously aimed at Vicente.

Vicente looked at his opponents, whom he had noticed an instant before they launched this surprise attack, distinguishing the elders of two rival Stonewall forces.

”Mislead Vanguardians and Disciples of the Obscure...” He muttered to the old men dressed in black, some in gray armor, all there with venerable and evil appearances.

The enemy group had already entered a formation and several magic circles were already surrounding the area, an indication that attacking in readiness or delaying their movements a little wouldnʼt make any difference. Vicente then asked. ”Why are you attacking me? Do you realize that Iʼm leaving the island?”

”We wonʼt allow you to leave, Vicente Fuller!” said one man as his finger seemed to draw one of the magical lines behind the circles around Vice.

”Weʼre well aware of your plans for Stonewall. If you were just going to leave the island, we could ignore you. But since you intend to continue serving them, donʼt expect us to give you the option of leaving Light Cay!” said another of the men, as a suppressive aura fell over Vicente, with barriers separating him from the members of Nanʼs group.

”It seems there are traitors in my sect...” Vicente muttered with a quizzical look on his face. ”Itʼs lucky for them that Iʼm leaving the island. But they could have used this chance to get rid of you, you know?” He asked with a defiant tone, looking at the men suppressing him as if he were the one to suppress them.

”Hahaha, you must be confident, young fool. Donʼt think weʼre like the idiots who acted against you before. We know exactly your weaknesses,” said a third individual.

Vicente couldnʼt deny that this group had come close to doing the suppressive work necessary to bring him down. He could feel the magic circles with anti-magnetic energy acting against him, while a strong light element created golden beams of light suppressing the darkness of his powers.

If it werenʼt for the fact that he also had an affinity with and powers over light, Vicente really would have been suppressed!

ʼSomeone high in the sect has leaked information about me...ʼ He looked at the men with disgust on his face, almost feeling like delaying his trip to go back to the sect and deal with it.

But his commitment was to his wives and daughter. If there was a traitor in Stonewall, too bad. It was time for him to go and he wasnʼt interested in solving problems like that.

His job was to help the sect outside Light Cay from now!

Then, as the enemies thought they had Vicente suppressed, one of them attacked by moving against the black-haired boy, aiming for the neck of the boy unable to summon his pentagrams.

”Die, Vicente Fuller!” said the enemy with a hideous look on his face.

As he was about to reach Vicente, a broad smile appeared on the young humanʼs lips, just before pentagrams unusual to see even in Light Cay emerged from his body along with several golden blades of light.
