Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

The butterfly sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to run away.

The human attacking him was dangerous. He had already shown himself to be so. But what it had witnessed so far was nothing more than a high level prank for this beast. It had suffered a few injuries and had tested how it would fare against a creature with a higher elemental affinity than it. But when it saw the red flames in Vicente's eyes, the butterfly saw something it didn't want to.

A dark shadow appeared on the magician, as his aura rose from the normal 3-Star Magus, quickly reaching 6-Star!

Vicente was already weakening a moment ago, and the insect intended to end this in the next few moments. But now he had regained all his power and was even stronger than before!

Vicente saw the creature turn to flee and laughed. "Too late. You would have done it sooner. But not now!"

At Vicente's words, the Darkness Realm grew stronger, condensing a barrier of darkness capable of preventing even the early 8th stage beast from escaping.

It did its best by releasing a golden powder as it flew, something that eroded the darkness in its path.

But Vicente didn't just have darkness. His powers were perfectly dual. Even as the enemy's light consumed his darkness, his own light emerged to degrade the butterfly's poisonous powder.

Vicente raised his arms in the air and forced the creature's body to the ground, as metal blades flew along with shadow demons attacking the four-winged creature.

The red flames consumed the beast Vicente had used in this Real Sorcerer ritual, giving him only a few more moments of action before his powers collapsed.

He flew towards the butterfly, delivering the same blow he had used at the start of the fight.

His last pentagram of the throne glowed and all the remaining light in the Darkness Realm froze. Then the attacks of darkness, together with golden blades of light, acted together against his target.

Boom!

Right after the bang and the sound of rocks breaking, insect grunts spread from that area, where Vicente instantly appeared after the creature fell there.

As soon as he saw the creature's colored blood decorating the rocks in that crater, he brought his two hands down on the creature's head.

The butterfly's wings appeared in the path of Minos' glowing fingers, but even they didn't resist much. So close together, but the early 8th stage creature was too weakened by its mana expenditure and its injuries. It couldn't take it when Vicente overcame it, breaking its wings and reaching for the sides of its head.

Vicente pierced the insect's head with his index fingers, completely immobilizing the creature by finally accessing the insides of its body.

All the metals in that structure fell under his control and he smiled in victory.

Boom!

One last explosion took place in that area, scattering the brains and blood of the now-dead butterfly across a wide space!

Vicente won the battle by blowing up his target's body!

Following his victory, he slumped to the ground, feeling his muscles contract violently, while a vein seemed to have exploded behind one of his eyes. His vision turned red, while his surroundings seemed more difficult to analyze than an area covered in dense magical fog.

As he fell backwards to the ground, he did his best not to faint.

He had won, but it hadn't been by much. If the creature had held out a few moments longer, he would have been the one to perish.

Looking up at the sky over the area, Vicente felt his manipulation of the surroundings decay exponentially, with his Darkness Realm fading away as the metals in the surroundings fell lifeless to the ground.

He stayed conscious as an indigo pentagram emerged from the spot where he had destroyed the 1-Star Grand Magus.

The moment this essence entered his body, Larissa and the others appeared in that place, each of them with incredulous but also very proud looks on their faces.

They were shaking with excitement after that battle, but they quickly put up their defenses, trying to camouflage Vicente.

One of them busied himself with collecting the Dawn Salt Vicente wanted so badly, giving him the chance to focus on absorbing his new pentagram.

After such a high level battle, they would need to flee the area as soon as possible so as not to get into any more trouble!

Vicente concentrated as he felt as if he had been run over by the effects of the ritual he had performed.

Fortunately, the strengthening ritual had worse damage on the ritual offering and not on the one receiving the power bonuses. As long as the creature Vicente used died, he would only need some ordinary rest before recovering!

This kind of thing made Real Sorcerers so complicated and powerful!

The initial moments of absorbing his 14th pentagram were difficult. Vicente felt a lot of pain as the new pentagram bonded with one of his essences. But he had conquered this pentagram so well that the entire process was quick and simple.

Soon the throne was growing in size and power, with the seventh pentagram fitting into the top position of the magical form. It connected to Vicente's other essences, strengthening them in general.

Little by little, Vicente felt the mana in his body recover and soon surpass the initial level he was at, advancing from the beginning to the end of the 3-Star level.

Unlike low-quality pentagrams, indigo pentagrams had so much power in them that, when absorbed, they usually generated small improvements for their new owners. But as Vicente already had 6 extra pentagrams compared to magicians of the same level as him, the improvement he experienced was much greater than what would happen with anyone else.

'The next pentagrams I'm going to absorb will be violets!' Vicente thought as he felt his injuries recovering, already planning his next steps.

Not long after he fell to the ground in that area, Vicente stood up and quickly thanked his group.

Looking at the Dawn Salt, he stowed the item in his spatial ring before leading his group out of the area.

"Let's go in search of the Black Raven Crew!"
