Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 704 Summoning of the Burning Inferno

”Letʼs act together!” Vicente called to Rory, drawing his friend nearer.”,

Layla dashed through the area, her feet and hands shimmering with mana, vigilant for fire-powered magical creatures already attacking their group.

Sarah joined her, while Onyx cast his aura of darkness over the Ifrit.

Vicente and Rory were the dominant warriors in this battle. As they were about to soar over the magma lake, the two merged their powers, just as they had against the 3rd-stage vampire in Saltstar City.

The mana in the area transformed under the influence of Vicenteʼs third pentagram and Roryʼs second pentagram, causing black clouds to form rapidly in the sky, accompanied by bursts of lightning.

Strong winds whipped up as the flames from Roryʼs Fire Avatar intensified the stormʼs condensation resulting from their combined powers.

Sand from the surrounding hills was whipped into the air as lightning struck down one of the peak 4th-stage creatures, obliterating it instantly.

One moment, the creature was charging toward its enemies, and the next, it was simply gone, erased by the lightning!

Some of the fire monsters had no time to react to the sudden onslaught. Before they knew it, they were in dire straits, some even having to repair their body parts in the magma lake to avoid being swept away by the fierce winds.

The Ifrit felt the impact of the storm as it withstood the assault of tiny blades the size of water droplets attempting to pierce its form.

”Shit! These two are more powerful together than I realized!”

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the Ifrit quickly adjusted its strategy, summoning its creatures closer for protection.

Unfortunately for it, apart from Onyxʼs aura pressuring it, Vicente alone could already give it a good, competitive fight.

But by combining his powers with Roryʼs and Onyxʼs help, Vicente put the Ifrit in a terrible situation, where the flame monster could hardly move and only had to worry about defending itself.

But todayʼs outcome wouldnʼt be as difficult as other previous hunts. At the beginning of the journey, the entire group was weaker. Therefore, it was more difficult to deal with Low-level Paragons.

But now the party had two Paragons of its own and several extra pentagrams!

The moment Casey entered the creatureʼs mind, the flame demon faced death as it watched its summons being destroyed one by one by the combined powers of Vicente and Rory, as well as the actions of Onyx, Sarah, and Layla.

Suddenly, rain poured down on the area, further weakening these already frail creatures that were typically more resilient in hot environments.

With the rain Vicente brought, the heat in the area dropped a bit, weakening the enemyʼs side considerably.

Seeing his chance to act against the tired, less powerful and mentally vulnerable Ifrit, Rory stepped forward and focused his magical powers on his targetʼs vital organs.

The Ifrit despaired, but when it tried to move its mana to defend itself, it was surprised by a blow even stronger than Roryʼs.

”Shit!” As it tried to defend itself against Vicente, it allowed itself to be attacked by Rory.

Rory was determined. He mercilessly touched the back of his opponentʼs head before Layla carried him off.

Boom!

The Ifritʼs head then exploded, revealing Roryʼs special power, explosion!

As the creatureʼs head disappeared, its body fell into the magma lake, while the creatures it had summoned were all dead.

Vicente and his companions slowed down as they saw their enemy fall.

ʼHeʼs dead.ʼ Torne confirmed to his master as Vicente walked away from the burning area where Rory was.

”Rory, weʼll wait for you outside this hot area. We canʼt continue here!” He said, feeling his whole body sweating heavily, but still feeling burns here and there.

The same was true for the others, who were already out of the hottest area without a second thought.

Rory readily accepted his companionsʼ retreat before sitting down over the body of the Ifrit floating in the magma. Thus began the absorption of his fourth pentagram!

...

A few hours later, Vicente and his companions had already recovered from the previous battle.

As they waited for Rory 2 kilometers away from the magma lake, surrounded by flames, they sensed Roryʼs success.

Burning Inferno!

The red-haired young manʼs four pentagrams appeared, and then, under the watchful eyes of his companions, Rory unveiled his new ability.

Around him, 15 flame portals materialized, summoning 14 High-

level Mages and one Earth Sovereign to the area.

”For now, I canʼt summon as many creatures as the Ifrit. But once I advance, Iʼll increase those numbers by 50% to 100%, and theyʼll all be Earth Sovereigns!” Rory said, his face lit up with joy, feeling the immense power he had just harnessed from the potent pentagram.

The pentagram left by the Ifrit was green, but not all essences of a color were identical. This pentagram was 85% of the way to cyan-grade!

Rory could never develop this pentagram as it had been formed by the Ifrit, and only the Ifrit could alter it. Yet, this power would immediately enhance his capabilities!

ʼIʼm almost there!ʼ he thought, dissipating his ability as he finally moved away from the burning area, optimistic about his future prospects.

”Thatʼs an impressive power, Rory!” Vicente exclaimed, smiling delightfully at his friendʼs success and recognizing the great potential for Roryʼs new ability.

If Rory could ascend to become a Mid-level Paragon in the future, he could summon Low-level Paragons, a capability that might prove helpful, perhaps even more than the power Viceʼs cyan pentagram would offer.

The entire group was happy for Rory, congratulating the young redhead and wondering how things would turn out for him in the future.

However, after about two minutes of celebration and positive thoughts, they couldnʼt help but turn their attention to one fact. Almost all of them had already received their pentagrams! It was finally time for them to go to the north of the continent to hunt for Vicenteʼs pentagram!

Rory looked at his friend, who was as eager to absorb a pentagram as he was to advance to the level of a Sky Sovereign.

”Time to go in search of your cyan essence, Vicente. Are you ready?”

”Hmm, letʼs go to the Valley of Lightning. Maybe weʼll be lucky enough to get my pentagram there.”

With that, the group left for the Valley of Lightning, an area in the continentʼs north!
