Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 508 Terrible Power?

Minutes after leaving Saltstar City, Vicente arrived in a coastal forest area where several smaller hills surrounded the largest peak in the region.

From where he had stopped, he could see a beautiful view of the sea, the forest, and the city where he now lived. He stopped there momentarily, not to admire the view but to find the place he was looking for.

ʼI have arrived near the area indicated by Snow Claw. He must be cultivating somewhere underground...ʼ Vicente thought as he used his supernatural senses to search for Jonah.

He hadnʼt encountered any problems so far, and there wasnʼt anyone hazardous around at the moment. So he didnʼt have to worry about holding back, and soon he spotted a strange sign.

ʼThat must be him.ʼ Vicente sensed an area devoid of mana, which was surely surrounded by magical items to camouflage what was happening there.

He took what Snow Claw had given him earlier and made his way to the place, examining the terrain as he went.

When he found some mechanisms at the entrance to a cave, he used the key he had received from Jonah and saw a path open for him.

Entering a long, dark corridor, he saw an intense glow at the end of the path as he finally felt the aura of the items in this secret cave and Jonah.

ʼHeʼs advancing...ʼ Vicente sighed as he finally entered the place and saw Jonah sitting in a lotus position, meditating in the middle of the area.

He didnʼt watch Snow Claw for long and soon began to observe the surroundings of this secret cave, where he would have to stay until Jonahʼs progress to the 4th stage was complete.

The place looked like a small shop!

Many shelves reaching the ceiling divided the space of this underground chamber, storing magical resources, books, scrolls, spells, artifacts of all kinds, coins, and magic stones.

There was an exciting amount of everything in there, from 1st-grade items to even a 4th-grade artifact, a rarity to be found in Scott Province.

ʼHe is really rich.ʼ Vicente thought to himself.

But that was only natural. Jonah was a High-level Mage who was about to become a Sovereign. He had lived many years, fought countless battles, and murdered more people than he could remember.

He had amassed considerable wealth through his actions over the years. Since he had been imprisoned in Long Bay Correctional Facility for several years, his wealth had been lying idle in this cave for a long time.

Vicente looked around until he got a real sense of the value stored in the cave and sat down at the entrance to guard the area.

He had no greedy thoughts about the Snow Claw items. He had a particular interest in some of the things there and was already thinking about making a deal with Jonah later. But he would not insult the man for those riches. It would be much more valuable to have the support of a Sovereign than to have everything stored on those shelves.

ʼI hope nothing gets in his way, and I donʼt have to get involved in any fights.ʼ Vice thought as he closed his eyes. ʼEverything will be better this way...ʼ

Vicente was thinking this when suddenly something changed in Jonah, and he was forced to open his eyes awkwardly.

Vice looked at Jonah and saw the man leave the state of meditation he had just been in as he coughed up blood and brought a hand to his chest.

”What? Whatʼs going on?” Vicente rushed to Snow Clawʼs side, watching the manʼs body shake as his eyes slowly closed.

”Jonah! Jonah! Whatʼs happening?” Vicente shouted, not understanding the situation, as he watched the man pass out in his arms.

He checked Snow Clawʼs pulse, and an ugly expression appeared on his face.

”Shit! His heart stopped beating!”

Sensing this, he began massaging Jonahʼs chest, just as doctors on Earth would do to save their patients.

Using his mana, he tried to get oxygen into Jonahʼs mouth without having to put his lips on Jonahʼs.

ʼItʼs not working!ʼ His eyes widened as he continued, still trying to save Snow Clawʼs life but already aware that this man had died.

It was a disappointing death, so Vicente didnʼt stop the heart massage right away. But how could he not be disappointed and angry? Snow Claw was one of the provinceʼs strongest, if not the strongest! How could he die of a heart attack?

Such a powerful warrior should die gloriously in the middle of a battle against enemies stronger than him, and only after seriously wounding or even killing some of them!

It was unfair for Jonah to die like that!

So Vicente continued what he had started for a while longer.

...

Meanwhile, a few kilometers away from that cave, Miss Deathʼs group stood by a waterfall while she let her three pentagrams gradually disappear from her surroundings.

Her Book of Death became more and more transparent. At the same time, the dreadful aura around the beautiful Lauren disappeared to the delight of the terribly frightened animals nearby.

”Heʼs dead,” Lauren told her companions, confirming the end of their mission in this place.

Thirty-Three smiled in satisfaction for her Miss, for killing Snow Claw was no small feat. Even she, an Earth Sovereign, would find it difficult to kill Jonah. But Lauren had eliminated the man without even confronting him!

”Thatʼs great!”

”I always get goosebumps when the Miss uses her powers. Itʼs always amazing!”

”Hahaha, I canʼt wait to see the young lady in action when she becomes an Earth Sovereign.”

”Tsk! You wonʼt see it, Thirty-Nine.”

Lauren took a deep breath as her companions talked, feeling the weight of killing someone of Jonahʼs level. As easy as it was for her to do what she did because she hadnʼt put herself in danger, this death had cost her practically all of her mana.

ʼThat man was really different. Itʼs a shame that I had to kill him. He could have become someone monstrous and known throughout the continent.ʼ She thought to herself.

Jonah had died for her, but she was aware that this had happened because of a small difference between their powers. If she had been 2% weaker, he would have survived that deadly attack!

He would certainly have been weak after surviving Laurenʼs powers, but he would have lived to tell the tale.

Lauren said after thinking about it and drinking a recovery potion. ”Letʼs collect his body before we go to The Ruby Devils.”

”Yes, Miss.”

So they headed for Jonahʼs Cave, with Thirty-Three leading the way.
