Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-279

Items with enchantments might have hidden markings that could be used to indicate their ownership. If you were careless with an unfamiliar item with such a mark, you could get into serious trouble when you come into contact with powerful people.

Normally, these markings wouldn't be a problem if you knew where they come from and who they could get you into trouble with. But that changed when you were dealing with something that belonged to a corpse or items that a beast had accumulated.

The former owner of such an enchanted item might have been the child of someone powerful. If Vicente took it with him, he could possibly arouse the suspicion of people he didn't even know about his involvement in the death of such a person.

Since he didn't know anything about the basilisk's victims, he put those items aside, even though he thought they were valuable and could help him.

But even without the enchanted items, the coins, consumables, and armor were enough to enrich an ordinary party!

With more than 4,000 gold coins worth in that nest, Vicente would get a great return for an adventure in this area, even considering the part of Shelby.

After collecting what he wanted, Vicente didn't hesitate to leave, eager to return to Millfall successfully.

He used his ability to float in the air and made his way to the other end of the canyon he was in, from where he could walk back to Millfall.

S...ss...ss!

When he reached the other side of the canyon, Vicente heard something and immediately made an ugly face when he felt the basilisk near him again.

"Shit!" He looked back and saw the creature flying furiously towards him.

The basilisk hadn't been in its nest earlier, but it had been nearby, having gone out for just a few minutes and returned to see a thief leaving its nest.

Furious that Vicente had robbed it, but also because of the unresolved confrontation a few days ago, the giant basilisk flew at its adversary.

This time, it was determined to end it all and put an end to the life of the bastard who had the herb it had waited so long to steal and eat.

"I was going to leave you to the damned soldiers, but since you want to be defeated by me, so be it!" Vicente glared at it even more angrily as his pentagrams appeared and the ground where he had just landed shook.

With more than double as much mana than he had at his side in the last battle, Vicente now had many more weapons to deal with his enemy.

The 10 magic stones around his neck glowed, their mana flowing into the magic gem on Vicente's forehead.

At the same time, his pentagrams grew larger, and he was able to affect much more metal than before.

Vicente's abilities were still at the level of a level 3 Acolyte. In other words, the mana he had at this time was much greater than normal, but his powers were still the same as before. The only difference was that he could affect more metals with more mana.

Vicente's powers were still those of a level 3 Acolyte but with a slightly greater range.

However, the difference between him and the basilisk wasn't significant enough before. Hence, he now had an advantage in a confrontation with it.

Even though he was still an Acolyte, Vicente was currently stronger than the basilisk because he had much more mana!

As the ground where he stood cracked, metal fragments floated into the air, quickly merging into several swords the size of the one that had wounded the basilisk in their last battle.

As these swords formed around him, Vicente slowly opened his arms, causing the field lines to change, forming paths that led these swords to the basilisk's body.

The metal swords shook, then began to fly at high speed, faster and faster as they followed curved paths, getting closer and closer to the basilisk as it flew toward Vicente.

Meanwhile, the field lines around Vicente formed a spherical barrier around him, three times bigger than the one he had used against the same beast before.

"Unfortunately, magic stones are useless against beasts of your kind. Otherwise, you probably would have used them, beast." Vicente muttered as he saw the beast up close as it caught up with him, unable to escape his grasp.

Staring into the creature's eyes, Vicente took off his mask, revealing the face of the one who would defeat it.

At that moment, the basilisk tried to open its mouth to scream in anger at being unable to get any closer to Vicente. Yet, it felt something clamp down on its mouth, preventing it from screaming.

Meanwhile, an invisible force held it in place while Vicente floated higher and higher in front of it, looking down on it.

"This is the end!" He shouted, letting his blades cut through the creature's body as he held it.

More than 5 magic stones had already lost their brilliance and were temporarily out of mana.

However, the outcome had already been decided!

The moment Vicente's swords struck the huge body of the basilisk, the creature was sliced from several sides and could not defend itself.

Dark green blood dripped from the blades that pierced the basilisk's mighty body while its eyes widened, revealing the creature's insane pain.

Seeing the look on the creature's head, Vicente released it, allowing it to fall to the ground.

Wounded in several places, the basilisk did not attempt to resist, losing the will to fight.

Vicente's powers were annoying to counter. Even a beast of that basilisk's level wouldn't have an easy time fighting him.

With several magic stones on his side, Vincent was practically invincible against this creature!

As he floated in the air, Vicente looked at that beast as another Magic Stone went out, realizing he had to end the situation as soon as possible.

"Since you were so bold to attack me twice, you deserve to be punished, beast. However, I haven't forgotten the day you saved my life. Without your help, I would never have gotten rid of as many opponents as I did that day." Vicente said aloud as he put his mask back on his face.

"Therefore, I will not kill you. From now on, you shall be my mount!"

With these strong words, Vicente used all the remaining mana from the glowing stones around his neck to manipulate his two pentagrams toward the creature's body.

The two merged before reaching the creature's body, brightly glowing as they left a mark in the shape of a ten-pointed geometric figure on the basilisk's scales.

One-Sided Seal!

Vicente leaped toward the beast, his open hand moving toward the geometric figure that glowed red and yellow.
