Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1137: Surrounded by Powerful Enemies!

Vicente and his companions spotted a gray palace from afar, in a relatively warm area, with very few guardians around to scare off unwanted visitors. But even with a few of Lothur Ritter’s underlings around, anyone there for the first time would feel threatened almost instantly.

Kong’s face twitched as he looked at the creature closest to them on its way to Devil Ritter’s domain. The white dragon opened his mouth and eyes wide, seeing in front of him the strongest being he had come across so far.

”A True Celestial!” He shouted the title of mid-level Transcendents, those between 4-Star and 6-Star.

Larissa and Rex almost halted their steps, but with Kong still running ahead and Vicente going faster than all of them, they kept going towards the palace.

One of their pursuers had to be as strong as or even stronger than the guardian in their path. But, since they were being chased, they hadn’t yet come face to face with Qhava. Otherwise, they would be dead by now!

Their shock at the level of power of a mere subordinate of Lothur Ritter was due not only to their cultivation, the subordinate status but also to this guardian’s position. In this present situation, the group was at a dead end. On the one hand, certain death awaited them: Qhava. On the other, their fate would no longer be decided by themselves. Lothur Ritter would decide whether they would be saved, killed or even eliminated by whom!

This reality made Rex and Larissa, in particular, feel like they were at the bottom of the pit called their lives.

Vicente didn’t know where it would lead either, but with Qhava chasing them, there was only one way forward: to get on the good side of the ruler of this domain they had just entered!

’I hope Larissa can give us a chance. Otherwise, all is lost!’ Vicente felt at his most vulnerable moment, hating to be in this position, but unable to avoid it.

He was still only a Sorcerer. In such a position, there was no way he could face mid-level and high-level Transcendents. Life, however, had set him on a path where only through interaction with peak magic monsters could he achieve his goals.

Amid Vicente’s thoughts, Qhava appeared on the horizon, for the first time with a direct view of the one who had been worrying her for years.

Vicente could be considered the biggest headache she had ever had on her long journey. After the disappearance of Minos Stuart years ago, she had barely had time to seek revenge on Minos’ relatives when the ’chosen of Hell’ appeared. At the time, she was too focused on finishing the progress of her war plans and couldn’t concentrate on him. But as soon as he returned to Hell more recently, she began the hunt!

Seeing the source of her most recent worries just a few kilometers ahead, seeing the man who was favored by the darkness and would have the best chance among all the Devils to take over the Throne of Hell, Qhava trembled from head to toe as her murderous intent advanced even faster than her.

She didn’t know the name of her enemy, but it hardly mattered. With him in sight, she raised one of her hands in the air and condensed a giant scythe, a version of the legendary weapon of death much bigger and scarier than the one Lauren had used before.

When Qhava leaped into the air and charged towards him, Vicente knew there was nothing he could do to defend himself. In his position, he just looked back while making an awful expression, feeling the most powerful blow ever thrown at him.

Qhava’s move was by no means simple. A blade of mana, filled with a purple power, broke out of her weapon, cutting through not only the air, but the very fabric of space-time.

Stars appeared in the cuts left by the blade thrown at Vicente, showing the level of an attack capable of causing even an Absolute dimension to fracture.

At the same time, the four companions stopped moving, not from the shock of the enemy attack, but from the pressure of Qhava’s murderous will. Their own shadows seemed to have been frozen in time and space, while the gravitational pressure on them seemed to have multiplied tenfold in a single breath.

Vicente pressed his teeth tightly together, trying to move. To Qhava’s surprise, looking at the man she expected to see dead in the next second, he still managed to move one of his legs by a centimeter, even with all the difference in cultivation between them. This shocked her more than she would have liked to admit, even though it changed nothing to resolve his situation.

In the next instant, Vicente saw the blow thrown finish the rest of the path to him, bringing him face to face with his mortality.

’Is this where I die?’ he asked himself in the instant he thought would be his last alive.

Qhava’s attack reached Vicente’s neck, pressing hard through it, not only to decapitate him but also to destroy his soul.

Crack!

In that decisive instant, however, the sound of something breaking spread from the position of the clash of Qhava’s attack with Vicente’s body, followed by her magician’s blade gaining cracks all over his frame.

Qhava frowned, for a moment, doubt in her eyes, before reasoning. ’There’s no way he could have done that.’

She slowly turned her face toward Lothur Ritter’s palace, and then saw a tall, strong man, dressed in black, standing on the roof of his estate, one of his hands raised and his silver hair vibrating with his power.

Lothur Ritter’s aura, even more icy and oppressive than Qhava’s, exploded from his place, pressing down on everything and everyone in his domain.

Quickly, everyone felt the power of a 9-Star Transcendent, the power of the strongest being in Hell, perhaps even in all of existence!

”Qhava, you really are daring. You insult me attacking someone without my permission!” Lothur said with a smile on his face, as five well-dressed women with serious looks on their faces appeared on either side of the group that had just arrived.

Larissa fell to her knees at the sight of these people, feeling how each of them was on the high level of the 10th stage, between 7-Star and 8-Star of the Transcendent Stage!

’Rebecca, Annabelle, Elke and Viktoria!’

Larissa recognized four of her old acquaintances, not recognizing only Natali, whom Lothur had met on his journeys away from his homeland, and joined the family only after his departure from Concordia.

Meanwhile, Qhava found herself in a totally different situation to Larissa, surrounded by powerful opponents. Her intent worsened a few levels, while she couldn’t help but be shocked by the growth of Lothur’s family.

”Tsk! I knew you weren’t to be underestimated from the start. But it seems you’ve been hiding your actual power, Lothur!” She shouted as she pointed her scythe in his direction, extremely enraged.

Not only had Lothur gotten in her way in the last second she had to kill Vicente, but this rival had hidden the real power from his companions!

’Shit. I didn’t know they were so strong!’

Lothur laughed at that. Years of experience had taught him to be careful. The affairs of the strongest were not easy for him to expose his cards to just anyone.

Today was the only exception for him, and even then, he didn’t intend to leave it out in the open for much longer!

Changing his posture, Lothur said, ”Qhava, you’ve wasted the opportunity you had with your promotion. Coming here was your worst mistake! But since you’re tired of living, let me help you achieve peace!”
