Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

chapter-838
The moment Lauren wrote the word "vision" in her book, her second pentagram, which could temporarily affect the senses of its targets, glowed.",
Immediately after she wrote on it, the cyclops felt its vision deteriorate by 85%, causing it to see its surroundings blurred and darkened, barely able to see the five enemies attacking it.
Lauren's fifth pentagram glowed brightly as the Personification of Death condensed from the darkness around her and attacked the cyclops with the scythe of death.
Mental Chaos!
Lauren wrote something else in her macabre book, causing the creature's single eye to stop, its mind lost amidst many thoughts disconnected from reality.Lauren's fourth pentagram glowed, consuming 30% of her mana as her face turned pale and her knees went weak.
Feeling a sudden pain behind her eyes, Lauren stood to keep from collapsing from exhaustion and activated her last power to seek the fall of the powerful enemy before her.
Her third essence consumed her remaining mana as streams of darkness formed around the cyclops' body, causing it to fall forward, overwhelmed by Lauren's powers.
The four Paragons allied with Lauren on this journey saw this and felt her confidence grow, their eyes widening as they witnessed Lauren's shocking powers with open mouths.
The 6th stage cyclops was still breathing and would surely recover after a while. But after all their blows, it was in a terrible state and could not fight them for at least a few dozen minutes!
They could never kill this creature today. As a beast of the Dark Path, the cyclops had an extremely resistant body that was difficult to injure even for the 5th stage armor they were wearing today.
After Lauren killed the creature, the four used the suppressive power of their armor to immobilize the enemy.Lauren was exhausted, but her armor came into play, controlling the body it enveloped so they could collect the bodies of the superior vampires, as well as the records of the enemy.
In just a minute, Lauren had collected everything of value in the area before ordering the group to retreat.
The four Low-level Paragons followed her, leaving the 6th-stage cyclops behind, still feeling the dangerous effects of Lauren's powers.
'Mission accomplished! Time to share these vampires' blood!' Lauren sighed as she smiled, already far enough away from the cyclops to relax a bit.
She gulped a restorative potion and said to the group. "Let's go back to Rockstrand. I'll take the blood of one of these vampires and leave the rest to the local leaders, including those corpses' valuable organs and body parts."
The four Sentinels of the Order of Rockstrand smiled in anticipation, imagining how much they could gain from the blood of these vampires.
To most magicians on the continent like them, vampire blood was a precious essence they had only heard about in books and rumors.
At the thought of being able to use such a magical essence, everyone was excited at the possibility of becoming stronger with this opportunity.
"What will the Lady do after her retreat?" asked one of the Paragons as they flew back to the city, about 200 kilometers from where they were.
"I will go after the other vampires in the Chutha Dynasty. We defeated the strongest group today, I know. But there must still be dozens of vampires in the state."
"I hope I can continue to help you."
Each of them said similar things, swearing they would continue to serve her and help her in the hunt against the vampires.
...
While his sisters operated in the southeastern part of the region, Vicente had spent his first 20 days in Tamor Dynasty, in the southwestern part of the region.
In the dark about what his sisters were doing, Vicente continued his plans for the dynasty, helping to increase the defensive level of the local cities, but also the war power of the king's forces.
With 20 days in the area, he had accomplished much, producing dozens of pieces of armor, hundreds of weapons, thousands of miles of fencing, and two Cataclysm Order posts.
As he had promised the king earlier, he had straightened out the situations of thousands of young people in the cities of the state, helping them to awaken their powers.
His little less than three weeks in the dynasty had been enough to clear about a year's backlog of youth awakenings, bringing hope to the families of the continent's new apprentices.
Having completed the most important part of his plans for the dynasty, he prepared for his next step, which was to hunt vampires and high-level monsters in the area.
He met with the local leaders in the dynasty's capital and listened to what the local forces offered to help him with this mission.
...
"Venerable Fuller, earlier the enemies were concentrated in Riverhelm, one of the few cities of the dynasty to fall to the vampire advance.
We had news that monsters were enslaving humans in the area, similar to what you told us about what was happening in the capital of the Kenyth Empire.
But after your actions in that state, things changed, and the monsters left Riverhelm. We now have information the vampires formerly in that city are scattered in three camps around the borders of my territory."
The King presented what he knew to Vicente while he and the Paragons of his state were gathered with young Fuller in a room of the royal palace, all seated around a large oval table.
"There must be 2 or 3 Archmages with these groups, Venerable Fuller. Don't be fooled by the way the monsters were organized before. They're much more cautious these days." Said one of the Mid-level Paragons over there.
"Does every group of vampires have an Archmage with them these days?" Vicente asked.
"That must be the case. There's a misconception among the southern forces that there are vampire groups without Archmages to help them. But that's not true. In the past few months, several 6th-stage monsters have arrived in the region." Said the expert behind the local royal family's intelligence.
"I see... Well, it's not a problem for me, but your forces should be more careful from now on. Anyway, I'm leaving for the border this afternoon. I'll search every meter of the border and deal with any enemies that stand in my way." Vicente announced to the men.
