Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1055  The Effect of Elemental Essences

The elvesʼ offer interested Vicente. As valuable as Eighth Class items were, he had already experienced such items on his journey here, while he had yet to obtain something like an elemental essence that had an affinity with him and was of such quality.

Come to think of it, the price charged wasnʼt bad. Even though the tribe had told him they wouldnʼt give him a discount on these items, they were probably giving him a good price to help him get stronger. Since he was going to defend the alliance and help them deal with their enemies, selling them to him was the same as supporting themselves.

If such a sale could help Vicente have a better chance of helping the tribe, it would be worth the small cost they were investing.

Fortunately, Vicente had several Eighth Class resources with him, a gift from his last enemies in Light Cay, but also from the Water Elementals he had eliminated days ago.

”This is what I have with me. You can choose what interests you most.” He summoned pills, potions, and other magical items, drawing the attention of the three elves to the origin of these items.

”As expected, youʼve really killed some powerful elementals,” said the 5-Star elf.

”Hmm.” Vicente just smiled at those words.

”Looks like you were either very rich while you were in Light Cay or you beat some powerful experts, young Vicente,” one other said as he looked at the complete contents presented by Vice, only 20% of what such a magician had achieved so far.

”Does that mean youʼre going to take the deal?” He ignored the comment and got straight to the point, eager to have those essences.

His aim was to absorb them later tonight, before his group continued on to the Fairy Tribe.

The 5-Star elf chose three resources while passing the other items, along with the Eighth and Seventh Class essences to Vicenteʼs side. ”Yes, these three will serve us.”

Vicente kept everything in his space ring and thanked the business. ”Thank you for giving me this chance. Iʼll try to repay todayʼs help by working to stabilize the situation on the island. I hope it doesnʼt take too long.”

”Take your time. Weʼve been at war for decades. Now that weʼve got a good ally, we donʼt need to risk so much,” said the woman as she stood up with the others.

Vicente remained seated, intending to stay there and immediately absorb the essences.

”But Iʼve heard that you donʼt want to stay on the island for long. Is that true?” she asked before leaving.

”Yes. As I said earlier, I made promises to my companions in Polaris Realm, and I intend to keep them, no matter how difficult it may be.”

She thought it was silly, but she knew she wasnʼt in a position to say what was best for Vicenteʼs life. He was going to help his people through the current crisis, so what he did with his life afterwards was his own business.

”Good luck with your plans. Later, when youʼre getting ready to leave, donʼt hesitate to come to the tribe. Weʼll help you in any way we can.”

”Hmm, thanks. Iʼll keep that in mind.”

So ended their negotiation, with Vicente getting his space to meditate, now having essences compatible with him in his storage item.

He used his technological metal devices, erecting a barrier around his hut, something that would protect whatever happened there from the outside world.

He then retrieved the 12 essences from his ring, beginning to consume those of lesser quality and with an affinity for his first magical form.

The consumption of this type of resource was unique. Someone in Vicenteʼs position had to basically meditate while exposing his magical form and pentagrams, thus allowing himself to be affected by the pure elemental essence with affinity to himself.

Doing something like this absorption method with something incompatible would lead to poisoning and weakening of the magician, while using something with strong affinities would cause quantitative and qualitative strengthening.

According to what he had already learned from Nan, he could even raise his cultivation more than one level depending on the sensitivity of his magical form, previous resistance, and magical level before absorbing the essence.

He absorbed the Seventh Class essences of earth and lightning almost simultaneously, causing the brightly colored gems to float around him and influence his existence.

He felt his pentagrams with violet lines and symbols absorb some of the essence escaping from the stones, while some of it entered his body, strengthening his aura.

This part of Vicenteʼs meditation lasted only 20 minutes, by which time all the essences of earth and lightning and Seventh Class had lost their power and turned to dust.

Neither his level nor the quality of his pentagrams evolved with them.

ʼAs expected... My magical quality is already too advanced for me to improve with only Seventh Class essences. This could have brought about improvements in someone normal, but not in me.ʼ He sighed, although he didnʼt think it was a waste, given the fact that his cultivation had increased enough for him to feel stronger.

Then Vicente looked at the two Eighth Class essences compatible with his first magical form, leaving the Seventh and Eighth Class light essences to absorb them subsequently.

He closed his eyes again, once more letting these essences influence him while he had his powers exposed in the middle of that tent. The glow of his pentagrams illuminated the surroundings as he quickly felt more significant changes taking place in his being.

If Seventh Class essences were weak to him, as if they were too diluted to make him feel anything more impressive, Eighth Class essences seemed dense and more difficult to process.

Vicente felt his cultivation fluctuate as he reached the peak of the 1-Star level, while more violet lines and symbols appeared on his pentagrams of natural origin.

At that moment, he realized the value of elemental essences, growing so fast that he lost control over the passage of time as he enjoyed the strengthening process. This unique cultivation resource made him feel incredible, putting a new goal into Vicenteʼs mind.

Hunting elementals!

In this state of mind, he finished absorbing those essences, successfully advancing to the 2-Star of the Grand Magus stage!
