Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1009  Vicenteʼs Seventh Pentagram

The creature collided with the distorted space around Vicente, and it couldnʼt hold back the cry of agony as it tried to retreat immediately.

It made a high-pitched sound as more of its venom burst from its large teeth, opening its mouth wide to the point where its throat became apparent, while parts of its blue scales were degraded.

The scales of a beast as powerful as this creature were not simple. Normally they would withstand even attacks from beings stronger than it. But when it came into contact with the destructive power of the distortions around Vicente, it encountered something akin to a shredder that degraded its outermost defenses with ease.

Vicente felt parts of his actions crumble in the face of the creatureʼs absurd strength, even though he hurt it more than it was forcing him to.

His lightning giant brought his black trident down on it, directing the sharp, dark-coated tips against the snakeʼs already wounded body.

The creature tried to get away from him by struggling, even making part of itself move against him, being badly corroded to the point where its reddish flesh was visible, but still managing to reach Vicenteʼs body.

”Impressive! But not enough!” Vicente muttered as he deformed the space and let the creatureʼs body pass through it and hit one tree near the riverbank where they were fighting.

Earlier, he had been taken aback by the snakeʼs blow, but now he had learned the things it could do to counterattack.

The snake looked at him with hatred in its eyes, but now it was too late for it to escape. With no chance against Vicente, it was penetrated at the height of its first wound, pinned against the damp ground of the riverbank, while screaming even more amid its bleeding.

”Your stamina is impressive, beast. Iʼll put those skills to good use when you become my seventh pentagram!” Vicente jumped up from where he was, making the metals in the ground follow his commands, wrapping the snakeʼs body in special metal belts.

But just when the creature thought it had been trapped, mana charged each of the metal components around it, glowing for a moment, before lasers broke out of these structures and cut into its body even more.

The snake finally stopped screaming as the glow in its eyes faded, its body still struggling, even though it had been fractured into six unique pieces.

The head area still seemed aware of what was happening as Vicente landed on top of it, sweating terribly, while having some parts of his body burned off.

The snakeʼs venom had reached one of his arms and almost completely melted that body structure. Luckily, Vicente was a Healer with incredible regeneration skills. He skillfully sealed his own sense of pain in that arm while slowly regenerating it.

Now with the creature dead, he sighed as he felt his mana at only 17% of its current normal.

ʼThis beast demanded a lot from me... Far more than I would have liked to have spent on a single opponent.ʼ

Hearing Vicenteʼs thoughts, the consciousness of the Throne of Light and Darkness said, ʼThat was a 9-Star beast of the 7th stage. It was strong, but the opponent who will give you my seventh pentagram could be even stronger than it. If you didnʼt feel comfortable, it might be interesting to come back here when you become a 5-Star Magus.ʼ

ʼNo. Iʼm going to move on and see what I can achieve by absorbing this beastʼs pentagram. Iʼll get stronger and have a new skill. Itʼs also possible that Iʼll improve the overall quality of my pentagrams of natural origin a little more.ʼ

Vicente was curious to hunt creatures compatible with the throne. In particular, he wanted beings with an affinity for light, given how focused his throne abilities were on darkness.

Luckily, Light Cay didnʼt have that name by chance. It was one of the islands with the highest concentration of beings from the Light Path, as the people of the Polaris Realm called it.

ʼThen I wish you luck. The sooner you get my next pentagram, the better,ʼ said the throne before disappearing again.

After these words, Vicente felt his companions approach him and quickly set up a security perimeter.

The Formation Master activated his defensive barriers around the area, along with camouflage formations. The Beast Tamer also moved in, placing some fragrances famous for their repellent effects against beasts in the surroundings, while the others stood guard.

Vicente said a few words to his faction members and was soon in the lotus position, his eyes closed and his hands relaxed on his legs.

The mana in his body allowed itself to be connected to the natural essence of the area, along with the creatureʼs indigo pentagram moving out of its remains and gradually connecting to the beast killer.

The entire process in Anicane was much faster than what he experienced in Polaris Realm. Within minutes, Vicente felt the pentagram enter his soul space, where it soon positioned itself above his sixth pentagram, and connected to his other essences.

His skin trembled subtly as its fibers strengthened, gradually, the characteristics of the dead snake seeping into his being.

The snakeʼs special abilities were super speed, electric poison, mental power amplified by electricity and it also had a regenerative power related to the water element.

Vicente didnʼt have the water element natural to him, but he had already achieved an affinity with various elements along his path, including water.

As his new pentagram stabilized in the seventh position, he felt his defensive characteristics improve, while his body also gained extra resistance to poisons.

His other natural pentagrams connected to the magnetic magical form grew stronger as another indigo essence joined this magical form, while Vicente felt his new ability.

In his mind, he saw again what the snake had done moments ago against him, when it had prepared to make a super-fast strike and even managed to ignore part of his decomposing ability.

Through the new ability, Vicente could feel that he could speed up his speed from zero to close to the speed of light in a few moments and attack opponents with his own bodies!
