Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-451

As soon as he appeared behind the Hawk, Vicente used the metals around him to launch several ground attacks at the creature while using his second ability to force the beast's body downward.

By affecting the creature's electromagnetic field, he acted like a repelling magnet, causing the Hawk's body to move downward toward where giant spears were flying toward it.

Simultaneously with these attacks, darkness appeared around the Hawk's head, and Torne controlled the darkness to enter the beast's body and corrode its mental structures.

Tempest Hawks were known for their mental attributes, so this beast's pentagram may itself have a mental ability. However, having a mental ability and being completely immune to such attacks were two different things!

Torne was a ghost whose powers were very much focused on the mental part. As soon as he started to act against that Sovereign, he took some of the Hawk's attention away.

It felt something penetrate its mind and immediately focused on its own space of consciousness, where a ghost had just appeared.

'Ghost!' The beast recognized the enemy in readiness as it formed a spirit body within its space of consciousness.

Torne saw the green essence of that creature in that particular space and said nothing. He just moved forward to attack the pentagram!

'Damn you! I will destroy you and that human!' The beast screamed as it ran to defend its essence.

Pentagrams weren't just for magicians to absorb after leveling up. Before these essences were condensed, they served as a source of magic power for creatures like this.

In a way, before the pentagram was formed, what would eventually give rise to it functioned almost like a Magic Gem in beasts and other types of magical beings. If one of them had such an essence damaged, its fate could range from becoming a crippled being to dying!

Torne knew this and didn't hesitate to attack the essence that Vicente wanted to absorb, knowing it wouldn't be easy for him to destroy such a thing but that this was an excellent strategy to unbalance the beast.

'My master and I can maintain our union for about 30 minutes, even considering his magic stones and the Berserk Potion. In the meantime, we need to weaken him as much as possible!' He thought, wanting to solve everything without relying on Vicente's second special power.

Meanwhile, he and Vicente could use the maximum of their combined power simultaneously. While Torne could use the power of an Earth Sovereign fighting inside the consciousness space of that beast, Vicente could display the same level of combat in the outside world!

That's how impressive the melding of magical bases could be!

While Torne fought inside the Hawk's mind, Vicente skillfully moved to attack the creature's body.

The Hawk managed to dodge several of the spears that were about to hit it. However, while it had escaped, Vicente had better-mastered powers similar to Earth Sovereign's.

The amount of metals he could handle was more than four times what he could manipulate at his true level.

That was evident when he created massive weapons, as big as the beast dodging his blows.

As he made huge spears, arrows, and swords attack the creature's body, Vicente used his spells.

"Earth Cage!" He moved his hands as he made the ground around him shake, and large grids of earth rose from the ground into the sky, quickly forming a huge cage.

As this cage closed, restricting his and the Hawk's space, arms of earth erupted from the giant bars, heading toward the enemy like snakes seeking their prey.

Vicente didn't use his lightning element for obvious reasons. While the Hawk dodged his blows, this beast was covered with lightning, its element of great affinity.

It would be a waste of mana to unleash attacks based on this creature's power. As the weakest link in this battle, Vicente would never be able to hurt his target with lightning!

And so the battle between the two unfolded over the first few minutes, with the giant beast working hard to protect itself mentally from Torne and physically from Vicente.

If it weren't for the two of them working together on these two fronts, the Hawk would probably have wounded them badly and ended the fight within the first 15 minutes of battle. However, because of their great efficiency in diverting their opponent's attention, they were able to put pressure on the beast.

But the Hawk wasn't completely passive. Even with the combination of the two of them and Torne's efficiency in disrupting it, this beast was stronger than the combination of the two of them. It had managed to dodge and protect itself from the vast majority of their attacks and even hit them three times.

Even though they had managed to hold off the enemy for a few minutes, Vicente and Torne had suffered injuries to their bodies or souls, while they had already used up more than half of their mana.

Vicente's magic stones had already 'gone out,' and the effect of the potion he had drunk earlier had almost worn off.

Meanwhile, the Hawk looked just as good as it had at the beginning of the battle, having only used up its mana but without any significant injuries or the same worries as those two.

This creature wasn't the least bit agitated as time passed, as it was a fairly intelligent beast. It saw that the enemies had time as their problem.

'I'm going to prolong this fight until you're exhausted.' It thought as it continued to deal with Vicente and Torne on two battle fronts.

'You probably want that woman to join the fight... But that won't change the outcome. I'll kill you all if you exhaust yourselves or she joins the fight.' This creature planned as it saw the end of this fight coming closer and closer.

Meanwhile, Nova finished absorbing her pentagram, aware of the high-level battle going on around her.

The waterfall near her and several trees in this area of the Wolfrior Forest had fallen or had craters here and there, signs of this high-level battle.

Feeling the effects of this battle, she couldn't help but long for her meditation to end so that she could open her eyes and join the battle.

If they were going to die, she wanted to at least have a chance to fight and die honorably, like a warrior!

'Just hold on a little longer, Cesar. I'll be right behind you!' She thought as the passive side of the confrontation slowly changed, and Vicente and Torne began to suffer more for the creature.
