Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

chapter-877
The days passed, and soon Vicente's group was back in the territory of the Dragon Tribe.
Traveling through the Majestic Treefrog Grove would have been dangerous and a grand adventure for others as strong or stronger than the members of Vicente's group under other circumstances.
However, with the current crisis on the continent and Vicente's friendship with the two Sovereign tribes of this area, anyone who stood in their way, just like the great Roc, would change their minds after a few words.
With a Qilin and a Roc on their side, things were even casier than on the way to the Elves Tribe, and the group did not face a single problematic situation after leaving the Qilin Tribe.
When they arrived at the Dragon Tribe this afternoon, they talked to the tribe's elders and explained a bit about what had happened before getting permission to continue their exit from Majestic Treefrog Grove through the place they had entered weeks ago. This time, the group would not have to deal with the many traps in their path. With the help of the dragons, they would have a clear path to get out of this area and back to their plans."Impressive. I've never seen the dragon's challenge area before, but I can feel how powerful these traps are," Tanglin said to the group as they walked through the area Vicente, Elmo and Victor had passed through recently.
The five walked on the ground, their auras contained within their own bodies, while Vicente used his electromagnetic powers to make them invisible.
Because of the qualitative advancement he had undergone, all of his magnetic abilities were stronger. Even with four Archmages at his side, one of them with an enormous body, he kept them hidden with ease.
"Yes, it's even more impressive when the traps are active... Luckily, we've been there before and won't have to do it again." Victor smile.
Now that everything had happened, it was casy to look back and remember their challenges. But he really didn't want to go through it again!
As they passed the halfway point and talked about the challenges of the area and their recent experiences, Vicente warned. "Stay alert. After the next three hundred meters, we'll be outside the Dragon Tribe, in the area watched by the vampires and monsters." "What is the threat level around the Majestic Treefrog Grove?" Acidbelly asked.
"There is an Advanced Archmage among the monsters, and there are superior 5th stage vampires in the area." Elmo replied, causing the two beasts to narrow their eyes. "That's not encouraging..." Tanglin sighed."The good news is that the strongest of them are far away from this area, or at least they shouldn't be here. Because of the danger of entering the Majestic Treefrog Grove through dragon territory, the area is less protected than others." Vicente said as he paid attention to his surroundings, mainly using his magnetic abilities to stay alert.
With the qualitative advancement of his first Magic Gem, his senses and fighting abilities of both magical forms had now come closer together. The Throne of Darkness was still much stronger than the magnetic power, but one could be better than the other in different applications.
In this case, for probing, tracking, and hiding, Vicente's magnetic power was much better than the power of the Throne of Darkness!
"But be careful. We can't make any mistakes on this part of the route. Facing those creatures now would be the end of our journey." He warned after a second.
The four remained silent as they continued in the formation they had agreed upon before.
In the next five minutes, they would complete the end of their journey until they crossed the border between the Dragon Tribe's territory and the outside of the Majestic Treefrog Grove.
They paused for a moment to check for enemies nearby. When they noticed there was an Intermediate Archmage monster not far away, they moved even more slowly, with Vicente concentrating on protecting their signals.
While they were staring toward the creature only a few hundred meters away, Vicente intercepted a communication to another creature nearby.
Seeing an opportunity, he transmitted the message to the creature near them, causing it to move and turn its back on the group.
'Now!' He warned his people to move faster, still moving hidden, without using much of their powers, but now much faster than a few moments ago.
A few minutes later, the group of five overcome the monsters' observation range, successfully leaving the Light Path's large beast territory without attracting the attention of their enemies.
But the group didn't celebrate their accomplishment. As soon as they were far enough away from the monsters and vampires that guarded that territory, they headed toward the spot where Vicente, Elmo, and Victor had left the rest of the group weeks before. The three humans and the three magical creatures left behind should wait for them, if nothing too troublesome had happened in the meantime.
Worried about their companions' situation, the group remained cautious on their journey, which would take them several tens of minutes even at Acidbelly's speed.
As they approached where the rest of the group was supposed to be, Elmo and Vicente, the first to look around, narrowed their eyes when they didn't see their allies. "They're not where we left them." The Leshy of the group said, his wooden face subtly changing expression.
"What could have happened?" Victor asked with concern in his voice.
"Maybe they moved to avoid trouble. Let's not assume the worst for now!" Vicente said as he instructed Acidbelly to land near the spot where they had stayed for days, watching the monsters and vampires in their path.
Arriving at the spot, Vicente found a note left by Ayden, casily spotted because of his advanced tracking skills.
"They were forced to leave. I don't know if they're okay, but we have to follow them. They can't be far. It is two weeks old at the most since they left." Vicente said to his group, guessing how long it had been since the metallic paint on the message had been applied.
The group agreed and soon began to investigate where their allies had gone.
