Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 722 Unexpected Conversation?

Following his orders, the armors and artifacts moved, each going to their masters according to the origin of the items Vicente had used earlier to create these special artificial life forms.

Each of the armors stopped next to their ʼyoung mastersʼ, while three of the five magicians received artifacts, with Onyx receiving two items, a birdʼs body armor and something for his paws and claws.

He didnʼt need to hear about these artifacts to know what they were capable of. Onyx immediately felt as if he had the cultivation of two more Paragons at his disposal, with the armor giving him a defense as strong or stronger than his own body, and the item on his paws giving him the feeling that his attacks would be twice as deadly from now on.

ʼHehe, things are going to get interesting from now on.ʼ The big black bird perked up as he imagined the upcoming battles.

ʼWe will do our best to advise you, master Onyx,ʼ the two artifacts said the same thing to him, making him forget his surroundings for a moment and concentrate on the new artifacts he had with him.

Vicente looked at an old firearm he had with him, remembering what Benson had told him years ago, and now he saw the problem.

ʼI canʼt improve this weapon beyond the 4th grade. Artifacts at the 5th grade and above are special, the kind that can have their own intelligence and powers as good as those of cultivators. A weapon like this wouldnʼt be able to display such powers. Its purpose and structure are too simple for something more complex.ʼ He put the item into his spatial ring.

His weapons had helped him a lot and were important to the weaker members of his family. But they had already served their purpose for him and his companions.

Fortunately, he had learned a lot from Benson and then developed his powers to replace those weapons with new types of artifacts to replace his old ʼfriendsʼ of two lifetimes.

He sighed in satisfaction at having reached such a high point in his journey before turning his attention to the cultivation of his friends.

ʼIt looks like Iʼve turned this cave into a special cultivation place for Sovereigns...ʼ He noticed the density of mana and elements compatible with his colleagues in this large cave. ʼIt is possible that Casey and Sarah will level up in the next two days.ʼ

Sensing this, he decided it would be good to wait that long before continuing with the mission he had accepted earlier.

Vicente sensed the situation of Torne, who was exhausted after the battle against the Behemoth and was currently cultivating in Viceʼs consciousness space.

ʼI think these two days will be enough for old Torne to finish his recovery. Cultivating in such a space should be very good for his recovery.ʼ

He then put Torne aside and turned his attention to the Throne of Darkness, making it appear in a miniature form in one of his hands, while a yellow pentagram with green lines and symbols appeared around it.

Vicente now had complete control over the Throne of Darkness, without the negative effects on his consciousness and soul that he had faced before.

ʼIt has been a long journey. Fortunately, youʼve survived this far.ʼ A voice without gender or age sounded in Vicenteʼs mind, reminding him of the day of his Awakening.

ʼThis voice... Are you the consciousness of my second Magic Gem?ʼ Vicente recognized the source of the voice, remembering that Torne had told him that his gem, connected to the Throne of Darkness, had a consciousness of its own.

ʼIndeed. Iʼve been at your side since you awoke. Unfortunately, you couldnʼt fully control my powers until you reached your fifth pentagram. Today, you have fulfilled all the requirements to use the supreme power of darkness,ʼ said the voice as the darkness in Vicenteʼs soul seemed to increase without limit, while Torne, Onyx and even the werewolf outside the cave felt the terror of this mysterious power.

ʼDo you have a purpose?ʼ Vicente asked seriously, obviously uncomfortable with the situation.

ʼMy goal is to reach the maximum level, young magician. Like every living being, I strive for the peak of magic. My maximum would be the best configuration of pentagrams you can get for the throne. So donʼt absorb pentagrams of a quality lower than cyan. I wonʼt accept them,ʼ the gemʼs conscience said, demanding the best for itself.

ʼTry to get as many naturally formed pentagrams as you can. I know it may be difficult, but avoid ordinary pentagrams. If you really want to reveal all of my powers, weʼll need at least three essences capable of evolving before we leave this world.

Limit yourself to absorb only 2 ordinary pentagrams.ʼ

ʼLeave this world?ʼ Vicente frowned as he put aside the almost impossible mission of obtaining cyan essences formed by the phenomena of nature for his second magical form.

ʼIndeed. The key to leaving the Polaris Realm is the indigo grade, or the 7th stage. When one qualitatively advances to the indigo grade, or the 7th stage, they gain access to the Star Path to a higher place. In this special realm, you and I will be able to seek immortality!ʼ

Vicente wasnʼt surprised, as he had heard that Magus disappeared soon after their breakthrough.

ʼThatʼs what happens to beings who reach the legendary 7th stage? Do they go somewhere else in the universe?ʼ Vicente thought, using some of his earthly knowledge.

He didnʼt go against the conscience of his second magical form. He knew how difficult it must be for him to complete the requirements of the Magic Gem and approach the quality of a Magus. That would be enough time for him to solve the current crisis, secure the future of his sisters and live on the continent for a while.

Leaving after experiencing everything Polaris Realm offered seemed like the start of a new adventure, but also the way for him to guarantee Ninaʼs safety once she became a Magus.

Nina had a cyan talent, so she would certainly become an Archmage in the future and perhaps become a Magus. As her older brother, it was Vicenteʼs duty to explore what lay beyond this world before Nina, to help her when she completed her magical journey in the Polaris Realm.

Vicente was also curious about what lay beyond Polaris Realm, if there was a possibility for him to visit Earth again, or if he was in some kind of alternate universe.

Considering all of this, he agreed to try his best, even though the path to getting two naturally formed cyan essences compatible with his Throne of Darkness was obviously difficult.

ʼFor now, Iʼll focus on obtaining the pentagram that the werewolf pointed out. Weʼll think about these other essences later.ʼ he commented with his Magic Gem.

ʼDo that. Our first pentagram will evolve to the green grade once you absorb the second pentagram from the throne,ʼ the Gemʼs consciousness said before disappearing, leaving Vicente alone with his many thoughts about the present and the future.
