Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-718

Upon hearing the part about 2 cyan pentagrams, Torne and Onyx looked at each other, obviously interested.

"Can you be more specific?" Torne asked.

The furry creature laughed, seeing the greed in the two beings' eyes, something common to all races. It said sharply. "Your master has two magical forms. I don't know how this is possible, but it is quite incredible.

However, I've seen he doesn't have the fifth essence of the first form and only the first essence of the second form. What I offer you is the fifth pentagram and the second pentagram."

That would be excellent!

But Torne was no fool. He asked with a hint of skepticism in his voice. "What do you get if you give us that?"

"Don't worry, ghost, your victory will benefit me. I know I'm not compatible with any of you, so we wouldn't have to fight.

But since you're so curious, let's just say there's a magical being that I need you to kill. It's occupying an area where there's a precious resource for me. Unfortunately, it's a Dark Path being, as well as an Archmage who's about to enter the second level of the 6th stage," it said earnestly.

Seeing that Torne and Onyx had understood, the furry creature added. "This being will create your master's second pentagram. And his death will give me the chance to get what I want.

Is that enough for you?"

Torne was silent for a moment, while Onyx waited for the ghost's opinion.

Both of them were not surprised that this monster knew about Vicente's second magical form. Because of the previous battle, dozens of 5th stage creatures now knew about it. There was nothing they could do to hide this information. From now on, it would only be a matter of time before the news spread to the main 'ears' of the continent.

But they weren't too worried about that. It was to be expected and Vicente could grow quickly in the next few weeks to at least be able to defend himself.

What Torne was thinking about was not this problem, but how much he could trust the creature.

"What about the first pentagram? How can we trust you will not betray us?" Torne asked.

"I will give you the first pentagram before we move against the Dark Path being I told you about. Of course, your master will make a blood pact with me to ensure that you won't back out after using my information," the werewolf said as it gestured.

"Okay. Wait until my master wakes up. I'll talk to him about your proposal as soon as he wakes up."

"I'll wait for you then." The creature moved away from them as quickly as it had come.

"What do you think?" Onyx asked.

"It doesn't seem to be a plan to harm us, but that doesn't mean there aren't dangers," Torne muttered to the bird next to him. "However, if this creature was completely sincere, the dangers might be worth it. Now that the reality of our master's powers has leaked out, strengthening him quickly is the best we can do."

"Sigh! If we don't act fast, we could be surrounded by high-level vampires before he gets his next pentagrams." Onyx agreed.

"That's the case."

The two waited for Vicente to tell them about this possibility, while he slowly moved towards the end of his most important meditation of his magical journey so far.

His absorption of the fourth pentagram of the first magical form would take 33 minutes. In the meantime, his exhausted and unstable state from earlier would completely change, his injuries would heal, and his soul would fill with mana, this time with enviable stability.

Meanwhile, his second pentagram developed a bit more, becoming more cyan than green. However, there were still green lines, showing it had not yet completed the transition to the next quality grade.

But this was clearly something temporary. With one more addition of pentagrams, Vicente was sure he would have the following configuration: green, cyan, green, cyan, cyan.

He would soon become the most powerful Paragon in the history of the Polaris Realm!

As his magical base approached a frightening level, his body changed noticeably, becoming more resistant, stronger, with a higher regenerative capacity.

For the second time that night, Vicente felt something that was only common to those who had advanced to the next level, as he felt his physical characteristics develop once again after the addition of the Pentagram.

But that was to be expected. After all, the power of his fourth pentagram was related to regeneration.

After absorbing his fourth pentagram, Vicente was fully aware of what this essence could do. This ability was capable of several things, from manipulating blood pressure, healing, creating a heart, restarting hearts, restoring hearts, stopping hearts, accelerating the heartbeat, decreasing the heartbeat, you name it.

His fourth power was Cardiological Manipulation!

This power could either be used on oneself, changing one's physical abilities to the point of a berserk state with no negative consequences, or it could even be used on allies or enemies. The user could force an enemy's heart to stop, throw the enemy into a state of chaos, temporarily revive recently dead enemies, or help allies recover from injuries by stimulating natural processes in living bodies.

This newly acquired power is specifically designed to enhance defense, recovery, and attack abilities.

Realizing all of this, Vicente clenched his fists tightly as soon as he opened his eyes, feeling the sense of power brought on by his new pentagram and ability.

He felt more complete than ever, now that he had absorbed his fourth essence!

'Let's test my powers on my friends.' He looked at the unconscious bodies of Rory, Casey, Lina, Layla, and Sarah.

They all had traces of blood on their faces, purple bruises around their bodies and some of their internal organs were in a terrible state.

As Vicente stood up from where he had absorbed his fourth essence, his four pentagrams appeared as the bodies of the five individuals floated closer together.

Torne and Onyx watched and soon felt the hearts of these five begin to beat in the same rhythm as mana entered their bodies.

Their skin changed from the pale, weakened appearance of a moment ago to red, with rounder, blood-filled muscles.

Inside their bodies, their normal recovery factors were sped up more than tenfold, with internal wounds regenerating at a rate visible to the naked eye!

Vicente himself was amazed to see the rapid recovery of his friends, who in another minute under his help would gradually leave their unconscious states and wake up feeling Vice's powers affecting them.

Vicente's new powers left everyone in a state of both happiness and shock, momentarily causing them to forget about their friend's other magical abilities.

"This is incredible, Vicente! Now you can be considered a support magician too!" Rory exclaimed, feeling more powerful than ever after the battle with the Behemoth, and observing that Vicente's abilities not only enabled him to heal but also reach his peak physical condition.

The others noticed the same and landed in the surrounding area, thanking their leader for helping them recover.
