Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

chapter-674
In the blink of an eye, Vicente's group completed everything they had to do in Grandis!
Two days ago, Nina began her journey to Seidel Magic College, where she reunited with her friend Killian and learned more about him.
Vicente had finished his plans for the upcoming trip, and everyone in his group had their things ready for the trip. They had already said goodbye to those they had to say goodbye to.
After that, Vicente, Casey, Rory, Sarah, Layla, Lina, and Onyx would finally leave the kingdom's capital at dawn the next day!
...After saying goodbye to the people who would be staying in Grandis, Vicente's group took off, intending to continue their journey north, starting with the Kenyth Empire.
As they flew toward the desert border between the kingdom and the empire, King Seidel, Jasmine, Nova, Nina, Eve, and others who had stayed behind watched them from one of the exits in Grandis.
Jasmine would remain in the Seidel Kingdom for a while longer, having received word that she was to help lead and protect the Congregation of Revelations in the south of the continent until the crisis was resolved.
The Congregation of Revelation had a power maintenance plan for this disaster. Some of its most talented people would stay or be sent to the continent's south, where they would have a better chance of protecting themselves and eventually strengthening the temple.
Putting all of their eggs in one basket would make no sense, so this large organization had allowed Layla and Jasmine to continue their service in the Seidel Kingdom.
But only for a limited time. In 5 years, they would have to wait for a new opinion from the organization, which could keep them in the kingdom or not.
That would be the time for the Congregation of Revelation to understand how the disaster planned by the vampires would develop and make plans to return to their position before the disaster.The organization might fall, but they wouldn't plan their own demise.
That was why Jasmine would stay behind in Grandis while the rest of her allies and friends hunted for pentagrams.
"Sigh... They're finally gone." She commented to Nova, while Nina wiped away her tears as she watched her brother's silhouette disappear over the horizon.
Nova sighed as she closed her eyes, secretly wishing that time would pass quickly and her reunion with Vicente would happen soon.
Eve wished the same, but knowing there wasn't much she could do about it, she turned to head back into the city and said. "Nina, let's go back. The time won't pass any faster if we're busy, but we can distract ourselves while they're not with us."
Wiping away her tears, the young woman soon followed Eve and the rest of the group back to the city, planning to focus on cultivation and study for the next few years to keep her mind occupied in Vicente's absence.
Only King Seidel's party stayed behind, as the Paragon, who had invited Vicente into his group years ago, remained with the king and the monarch's two advisors.
"How strong will he be the next time we see him?" The old man beside the king asked.
"Probably a Low-level Paragon. The boy is already at the absolute peak of the 4th stage. If he adds a new pentagram and takes advantage of his party's passage through some special places in the north-central part of the continent, he'll become a Paragon very quickly." Said the 5th-stage expert.
"Sigh! I just hope they all come back in one piece." The king muttered, feeling that this was important for his state, but also for him, since this was the greatest danger his daughter had ever faced in her life.
"Now, all we can do is believe them and wait." Said the beautiful, mature woman standing among the men.
Soon, her group would also return to the city's center to resume their usual duties.
...
While the people left behind in Grandis returned to their local affairs, Vicente and the others flew at the speed limit of the slowest of them.
At the group's current speed, they would reach the Kenyth Empire in 8 days, but it would take them at least a few months to reach the first stopping point for the group to hunt for pentagrams.
They wouldn't hunt pentagrams in the Kenyth Empire; in fact, they would have to pass through four states before reaching the first of the hunting grounds they would stop at.
But before that, they intended to travel in a northwesterly direction as soon as they entered the empire, from where they would continue until they entered the Chutha Dynasty.
As Vicente had already discussed with Rory, there was another secret outpost of the Cataclysm Order in this dynasty!
Such a place had been in Vicente's plans for this journey to the center-north of the continent, so his first important stop was not to hunt pentagrams but to explore a new secret altar of the order.
There, he intended to do the same thing he had done at the outpost near the capital of the Seidel Kingdom: clean up the place and then leave a robotic armor to take care of the area for him.
Before arriving at such a place, they had no plans to stop anywhere for long, not even in cities. The group had planned to travel through forests and camp whenever they wanted to meditate or rest.
Cities held greater problems than forests, something the group had no interest in dealing with on this part of their journey. In fact, it would be better if they could avoid problems in cities until they returned to the kingdom. After all, time was short!
The Seven-Day Tsunami was less than a month away. Amid it, The Purification would unfold, ushering in the catastrophe that several continental powers had been preparing to protect themselves from or respond to for the past few years.
As such, they couldn't afford to waste time on issues unrelated to their plans!
Everyone in the group was aware of this and had no intention of getting involved in anything unrelated to their plans.
That was the case with Rory, whose biological father lived in the Kenyth Empire, but he himself had no intention of meeting the man during his group's passage through that state.
...
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and Vicente's group successfully crossed the border between the kingdom and the empire, leaving their home state without a hitch.
Their group was much stronger than the one that had set out to avenge Vicente, so the problems on their way would be fewer in the short term.
However, when the Seven-Day Tsunami began, even groups like theirs would suffer from the attacks of the beasts in their berserk state!
Their group would face this not long after passing through the Kenyth Empire and entering the Chutha Dynasty!
