Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-871

The moment Vicente started to meditate, sitting in the lotus position in that steam-covered area, with about six inches of a special liquid covering the floor of the area, he felt the difference in cultivating in this place.

Just as the woman had told him earlier, the absorption of mana in this area was indeed much better than outside it.

The mana easily entered his body, passed through his pores, and soon reached his spiritual organs, flooding them with mana as this special essence nourished his gems and soul.

He now had an elemental affinity with lightning, earth, air, ice, and all the elements of the Dark Path. As he cultivated in this space, which was basically composed of the elements of the Light Path, he felt his positive elements growing stronger.

But in the middle of his cultivation, after he had let go of the initial euphoria of being able to cultivate in this impressive place for about a week, Vicente noticed something he had never seen before.

While he was absorbing the mana and elements of the area with ease, his Throne of Darkness was also absorbing something!

Noticing this strange fact, since there were no negative elements in the room, Vicente focused on the Throne of Darkness, while his Magic Gem related to it glowed a strong cyan.

His magnetism-related gem, green, was also glowing at the moment, but Vicente ignored it and stared at the throne as this essence absorbed the element of light!

Of the three pentagrams on the throne, two were completely gray now, while the first pentagram, the green one, was glowing brightly, directly absorbing the light element that Vicente had practically never had a chance to absorb before.

'What is going on here?' he asked himself.

Torne realized the same thing as his master and looked at the space of consciousness he was in, currently divided into an area of influence of 70% for the throne and 30% for the magnetic magical form.

Suddenly, the configuration of the area changed, and the part influenced by the throne reached 71%.

'Can you understand that, old Torne?' Vicente asked the ghost.

'No, I've never heard of darkness devouring light, master. I don't know what's going on, but it's a fact the throne is getting stronger...' He said as he looked at the Magic Gem associated with magnetism.

'Master, it seems to be developing your first magical form!' Torne said in a good mood as he watched the green magical gem turn cyan.

Vicente's Magic Gem had been yellow, but it had changed to green as he had grown stronger. Now it was changing again, this time to cyan grade!

Vicente saw what Torne had pointed out and smiled, feeling that even if he didn't understand it, he would benefit from it and should just focus on that!

Turning his attention to what mattered, he ignored the strangeness of the throne while the consciousness of this essence was awake and commanding the current process.

'I could explain to you what's going on, but since you're so arrogant, I'll let you find out for yourself, hehe.' The consciousness of Vicente's second magical form thought humorously.

...

Vicente's days of cultivating in the elves' special room would pass quickly.

He would hardly notice the time passing and would soon reach the sixth day in this place, when his Magic Gem associated with magnetism would complete its qualitative advancement and reach the cyan grade.

What did it mean to reach the cyan grade in a Magic Gem? Well, since gems were associated with talent and magical form, having a higher quality gem meant more potential for growth; more ease in nurturing the gem's power; more power for the same configuration of pentagrams!

Vicente could already feel his elemental affinities with lightning and earth stronger than ever, as his senses associated with these elements had grown considerably during the last days of meditation.

His mana had increased by about 8% during those days, while his Throne of Darkness, even with the qualitative advance of Vicente's magnetic power, had advanced into the young man's consciousness space, reaching 80% dominance over that area.

Vicente still didn't know what the absorption of the element of light could mean for him, but feeling better than ever, he continued his meditation, knowing he had little time left.

In less than 24 hours, it would be time for him to leave this place for his next conversation with the elves. There was no way he could make any qualitative progress in the period, but he wanted to cultivate as much as he could until his last minute.

...

In the blink of an eye, Vicente's remaining hours in that special area flew by, and the former elf returned.

Opening the door to the room while Vicente was still meditating, the blonde woman with the pointed ears was surprised to find a place with almost no steam.

Besides the steam that once covered the entire area, the level of the special liquid there had decreased by over 70%!

'What was he doing here?' she asked herself as she narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction where Vicente was still meditating, sitting in the lotus position on the floor.

When she saw Vicente's forehead, she opened her eyes wide and was surprised to see the two completely cyan gems.

'He advanced... It seems he's also absorbed a lot of the light element...'

"What?" She opened her mouth in shock as she realized this, staring at Vicente without understanding how this was possible for a Dark Path magician.

It wasn't impossible for a Dark Path magician to have a Light Path element, such as water, earth, lightning, fire, ice, etc... But to combine darkness and light in the same body was something that seemed illogical. This woman had never heard of such a thing!

Vicente opened his eyes, realizing it was time for him to finish his cultivation, and saw the woman who had brought him to this place days ago and stood up.

"Elder, thank you for this opportunity. I've been able to improve my skills a lot here. Now I feel I can deal with vampires more easily."

The qualitative advancement of his first magical form had certainly increased his fighting ability!

If before he thought he could take on 5th stage superior vampires with the help of the Throne of Darkness and Torne, now he felt he could do so even with his magnetic power, which before could only handle 4th stage superior vampires.

"What happened here? How are you feeling?" She asked as she approached Vicente, placing a hand on one of his shoulders to get a better feel for his features.
