Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-884

Of the 10 liters of blood and 100 kilograms of vampire organs, Vicente divided the blood among himself, Torne, Victor, and Jacob, while the organs would go to Lonan, Bonfi, and Qiang.

As for Acidbelly, Tenglin, and Elmo, these three would consume 100 kilos of organs from the 6th stage monsters they had killed earlier. Only Ayden and Paul wouldn't consume anything for the time being, as they were left to observe the group while everyone else cultivated. They would wait for the next similar opportunity.

The group knew about Torne, so when the Mid-level Paragon ghost left Vicente's body to consume his share of vampire blood, no one was surprised.

Soon, everyone had finished consuming their blood supply and proceeded to either meditate or sleep.

The idea was for the group to go into seclusion for a maximum of three weeks. This was not enough time for the beasts in the group to finish absorbing the nutrients from the organs they had consumed. They would need at least three months to fully absorb the power of those organs.

Precisely because of the short time they intended to cultivate in seclusion in this cave, none of these beings thought they could improve their cultivation there.

The monster flesh they ate definitely had the potential to stimulate their breakthroughs. But only after they had absorbed all the opportunities those nutrients could give them.

Since they had no time for that now, it might take much longer than three months for them to fully absorb these essences and try their luck.

Humans could absorb the opportunities faster, but none of them were close to the breakthrough. Unless it was vampire blood of the same level as theirs, it was unrealistic to achieve a breakthrough in the state they were in after consuming just over 2 liters of blood.

...

In the blink of an eye, 18 days had passed since the battle spoils of Vicente's group had been divided.

The beasts of the group were still asleep, having prepared themselves to wake up only on the 21st day of their slumber in the cave where the group was secluded.

Today, however, Victor, Jacob, and Vicente had finished their meditations and had improved their strength!

Of the three, two were previously at the beginning of their levels. After consuming the 5th stage vampire blood, they had improved and reached the middle of their levels.

They hadn't achieved a breakthrough, but their improvement in terms of magic quality and mana density was equivalent to what it would take them over two years to achieve by cultivating hard in the best areas of the continent.

That's if they had the chance to cultivate behind closed doors for two years!

As soon as he came out of his meditation state, Jacob had a unique look on his face, looking around the cave but only seeing his progress.

'Vampire blood is really powerful.' He thought to himself.

Of the 2.5 liters of blood he had consumed, only 500 milliliters came from the Mid-level Paragon vampire. The rest came from Low-level Paragon vampires. Still, he had achieved all this improvement, which made him wonder what it would be like to absorb the blood of a High-level Paragon.

As for Demien Bloodthorne's blood, although the idea of absorbing his blood was tempting, it wasn't realistic to think 'common warriors' could achieve such a thing.

Demien Bloodthorne possessed an extraordinary resilience that made it nearly impossible to kill him. Furthermore, if he were to meet his demise at the hands of humans, his essence would serve to empower Vicente, not Jacob.

It didn't worry Jacob or even Victor, who had improved by 5% after absorbing his 2.5 liters of vampire blood.

For him, an Intermediate Archmage, only superior vampire blood with High-level Paragon or Beginner Archmage cultivation would make the difference for him to reach the middle or end of his current level. As for becoming an Advanced Archmage, it was almost impossible unless he consumed the blood of Demien Bloodthorne.

As he got up from where he was and made his way to Ayden and Paul, the silver-haired man was satisfied with the result of just over two weeks of seclusion. A 5% improvement for someone with a cultivation base as high as his was no small feat!

"How are you doing? Have you had any problems in the past few days?" Victor asked as he sat down next to the two humans guarding their cave.

Ayden shook his head in denial. "No, everything is quiet, just like the days before. We're far enough away from the previous area to give the vampire investigators a lot of trouble."

"Vicente's current abilities are really fantastic. Thanks to them, we could erase all traces of our escape. Even if the vampires have a lot of skills and specialists on their side, it would take them at least months to find us." Paul added as he looked in the direction where Vicente had just opened his eyes.

Victor looked in Vicente's direction and realized his abilities, enhanced by the Dragon's Amulet, could indeed be a great hindrance to his enemies.

Vicente awoke from his state and looked seriously at Torne, seeing that the ghost was about to finish his cultivation.

'Old Torne will reach the end of his level. At the next opportunity, he'll become a High-level Paragon.' He thought with a smile on his face.

He had reached the middle of the High-level Paragon level, not as far as Victor and Jacob. Unlike those two men, he had already ingested vampire blood twice.

His body had some resistance to vampire blood, and only something of a similar level to his could bring about more significant improvements.

That wasn't all bad. After all, there were many vampires with High-level Paragon cultivation in the area where he was, and many of them would soon hunt him down.

On the one hand, encountering these creatures was bad and dangerous, but on the other hand, if he won, he would have had a golden opportunity to reach the 6th stage!

With this in mind, Vicente would join the other people awake in the area to talk about what had happened in the last few days, but also about their next steps.

In another 3 or 4 days at the most, the others would awaken from their states and it would be time for them to move on to The Ivory Desert, about 2 months away from where they were.

With less than six months remaining until the cyan pentagram materialized near Nixlas' Shadows, the urgency to complete their journey intensified.
