Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-319

'That is the case, master. It is the union of the nine demons, the maximum this formation can provide. So if the mana creature before you falls, you'll be free.

As for how to defeat it, there are only two ways. One is to destroy the formation's core, as I've already said. The second is to defeat it with a power even more robust than its own.

Unfortunately, the master has the same power this creature would have if it were a Low-level Mage. But it's as strong as a Mid-level Mage, maybe even close to a High-level Mage. In this case, there's no way the master can beat it with your normal powers.

Unless you have a pill that puts you into Rage Mode, there's not much you can do except try your best to destroy the core of the formation.'

Rage Mode was a name for a unique state in which magical beings temporarily increased their strength through special methods.

Some beings could enter this state on their own by consuming their life force. On the other hand, some pills could provide the necessary conditions for someone to enter a berserk state.

Either way, there would be a cost to such an action!

Regardless of the method used to activate Rage Mode, anyone who entered it would face drastic consequences after the effects of their desperate actions wore off. The consequences could range from instability in the magical base to loss of vitality, loss of limbs, and even death.

Because of the dangers of the magic world, every magician would have some way of activating this state.

But when Vicente heard Torne's words in his mind, he couldn't help but form a pessimistic expression. 'Old Torne, things have happened too fast for me. The only pill I have that can produce this effect is a 1st-grade one. I don't have anything compatible with my magic realm right now.'

'Unfortunately, my essence is weak. Otherwise, this old man would help you fulfill the requirements to destroy this demon. But since we're in this dire situation, take the 1st-grade pill, master. A 5% improvement is better than nothing. At least it won't be able to harm you after its effects have worn off.'

Agreeing with Torne, Vicente swallowed the 1st-grade pill he had in his spatial ring.

Upon ingesting that pill, he immediately felt his body temperature rise. At the same time, the mana in the surrounding area entered his Magic Gem as if it were a mana drain.

The pill in question had a quick effect, considering its purpose. In less than 5 seconds, Vicente felt his strength reach level 5!

If it had been a 2nd-grade pill, he would have probably reached the beginning of the 3rd grade. But since it was of a lower quality, this was its limit.

Anyway, the moment he felt his strength improving, Vicente didn't think it was a bad thing and moved, using his ability to move metal in the area while using it to run uphill.

The demon moved against him, forming a red sword as it struck in the direction of Vicente's neck.

The black-haired young man sensed the mana creature's murderous intent, but he wasn't afraid.

'I will put everything into this move!' His eyes lit up as he dodged the attack.

Swooish!

The enemy's sword passed close to Vicente's torso as he squirmed, leaping nimbly from his swords and successfully dodging the first attack.

The enemy was swift and soon landed the second and third blows, making Vice sweat as he dodged attacks that would have taken his life if they had hit him.

Vicente gradually increased his height as he moved, reducing the distance between him and the formation's core.

He felt his eyes working better and better, seeing the demon's agile blows more and more clearly as the danger grew, and he dodged the enemy's movements more and more belatedly.

In the midst of this, his mana was consumed faster and faster.

Swooish!

An enemy blow slashed at Vicente's arm, trying to rip it from his body, only a few centimeters away from the young man, who was able to dodge it.

When the enemy's blow came from that direction, Vicente suddenly felt like something in his consciousness had snapped.

'This feeling...' He narrowed his eyes as lightning formed on the tips of his fingers.

Meanwhile, the electrical sensation of his surroundings changed levels, giving Vicente a much deeper understanding of his surroundings than before.

As Vicente felt the lightning element in his surroundings map the entire space around the formation, he felt he could see the enemy's movements in slow motion.

As he watched the enemy attack him fiercely, Vice saw countless lightning hearts in the environment, forming a completely interconnected network of rays.

He could sense any disturbance within it, making him feel as if the enemy was moving at a reduced speed for a moment while seeing all the angles at which he or the enemy could move.

Vicente's black eyes formed several small beams in his irises as he found the opening he needed.

Drawing a gun from his spatial ring, he moved to dodge the attack that would cut off one of his arms, stepping back and then leaping forward.

The mana creature saw his opponent pass very close to it as Vice passed the demon. At that distance, it wouldn't be able to attack with its sword in time. It could only try to grab Vicente.

But even that wasn't possible. The moment the creature tried to give Vice a bear hug, the young man's body slipped out of the demon's grasp.

Vicente didn't hesitate to fire his weapon while stepping on the head of the creature who was trying to eliminate him, putting as much mana as possible into the shot.

Bang!

As the eyes of the demon below him bulged, it felt its mistake, noticing the bad feeling that comes before defeat.

Unfortunately for it, the speed of the bullet fired by Vicente was much greater than the speed of sound or even the magical perception of this being.

When the demon realized the danger, the small glowing red sphere had already been hit.

Crack!

The demon looked up and tried to fly towards the formation's core. But at that moment, electric chains surged through its ankles as Vicente leaped toward his target.

One shot from his weapon hadn't been enough to destroy the formation's core, but it had been enough to weaken it!
