Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-740

In a split second, a month and a half had flown by since Lauren's startling revelations to Vicente's team. ",

The rest of the group had learned the things she knew about vampires and the leaders of the Congregation of Revelations, with Layla obviously feeling outraged, doubting Lauren.

Layla was more determined than ever to seek the truth and show her companions that her old religion wasn't as dirty as they thought. She wouldn't be part of the Congregation of Revelations in the future because of her relationship with Vicente, but she still wanted to clean up the image of her faith in front of her group.

The others were skeptical about Lauren's words. However, even though she had reasons to turn them against the Congregation of Revelations, they couldn't help but believe her after everything that had happened.

Like it or not, Lauren's words matched the reality they all knew!

Besides that, the only thing the group had done during this period, apart from talking about the continent's past, present and future problems, had been to travel south.

They had left the northern region after almost two months since they attacked Nixlas' Shadows' headquarters, having had no confrontations in those weeks. As Lauren herself didn't want to stay too long in the northern region, she helped the group follow the route used by her group previously, a less problematic route to travel.

In addition to the route used by the group, everyone there was stronger than on the outward journey. In particular, Vicente had become particularly interesting in forcing enemies away.

Thus, the group was currently passing through The Pure Enclave, heading towards The Hungry Canyon, close to the border with the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn.

...

In a quiet area of The Pure Enclave, there was a beautiful stream next to a waterfall, from where one could see a wide view of this territory in the center-north of the continent.

It was a sunny day with gentle breezes, a great time to relax and enjoy nature.

But in this place of colorful vegetation and high magical quality by continental standards, a group of beasts and humans were standing face to face, 50 meters away from the stream, but not at all interested in the surrounding nature.

Vicente and his companions were sitting cross-legged on the ground, while a group of powerful beasts from The Pure Enclave were sitting as close to them as they could manage.

Vicente was at the head of his group, face to face with a High-level Paragon, which had a peacock's body, a magnificently beautiful feathered beast.

"The north of the continent is in shambles. Sects of the Dark Path have betrayed the magicians' community and almost the entire north has been conquered by vampires. Their plans involve taking over the continent bit by bit, eventually using the surviving magicians as a food reserve.

We can't trust the Congregation of Revelations and the Magicians' Alliance is over."

Vicente said briefly to the creature in front of him, whom his group had encountered minutes ago, and reached an agreement of cooperation.

"The situation in the central region of the continent isn't much better. The monsters are advancing on our territory, slaughtering humans and imposing their will on us Light Path beasts.

At the current rate, the central community will fall and soon the south will be the primary target of malicious creatures ravaging the world we know. Trevora Kingdom and the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn are on the verge of falling completely under the monsters' control. If that happens, I don't know what future humanity will have left."

Although the beasts of the Light Path were not the vampires' targets, the advance of the monsters allied with the vampires naturally harmed them. While vampires had no interest in beasts, Dark Path beasts had an interest in devouring Light Path beasts.

Currently, these creatures were not the target. In fact, since the beginning of the calamity, these beings had suffered little from the actions of monsters and vampires.

Perhaps that's why most of the Light Path creatures on the continent had abandoned the magicians to their fate.

But now that the vampires' plans were advancing, creatures like the peacock in front of Vicente were fearing the worst, recognizing their initial mistake.

"Master, if this is true, we must help Trevora Kingdom and the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn." Torne, floating next to Vicente, commented for everyone there to hear, his tone somewhat pessimistic.

"Trevora Kingdom and the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn are like the border between the southern states and the domain under the control of the monsters. Everyone who wants to reach the south must pass through one of these two states. If they stand, the situation to the south will be much more peaceful."

The entire group understood Torne's point and even the beasts there nodded affirmatively.

"That's a fact. As long as these two human states are standing, the biggest problems remain in this central area of the continent and only a fraction will reach the south. But if they fall, the monsters will advance their plans." The 5th stage peak peacock agreed with Torne, speaking in both human and bestial interests.

The more humans left on the continent, the more allies beasts like it would have.

This peacock was not naive. Humans would still hunt beasts for their pentagrams and food. Although this reality placed them as natural enemies, there was a balance in this ecosystem, something that the vampires were threatening.

The situation was so drastic that the survival of those who hunted beasts on the continent would be crucial to the survival of the beasts in the Polaris Realm!

"Then we'll visit Trevora Kingdom after we enter the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn." Vicente decided, with his entire group agreeing to this detour that would increase their return journey by a few weeks.

"Help activate the Awakening Temples in those two states. Thousands of human children are waiting for the opportunity to start their cultivation journeys in this area," said the beast, showing the problem brought on by the fall of the Paragons and Archmages from the magicians' community.
