Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-889

After 11 weeks of searching, Vicente's group had finally settled into the area where the cyan pentagram was to appear.

Having found the spot he had seen in the vision of the future generated by the Divine Dragon Matrix the day before, Vicente and his people were now camping near the area.

Having chosen an area with a privileged view of the spot where the pentagram would appear, the group was well divided to maintain their position, guarding the spot where the pentagram would appear and the surrounding area where enemies might approach.

At this moment, where most of the group members were, Qiang was keeping an eye on the place where the pentagram would appear. On the other hand, Acidbelly was to watch the surroundings in case any enemies approached them before the pentagram formed.

Vicente and the other humans were all in position, ready to defend the small camp hidden behind a large bare rock where there had once been a mountain, but which, perhaps due to high-level battles, had ended up as fragments of what had once been.

Apart from the five humans and the two beasts under observation, only the group's special formations, capable of creating spatial distortions to deceive beings from afar, were present in this place.

Bonfi and Tenglin were at another observation point, together with a group of armorers that Vicente had created over the past few days, a position from which they could easily attack opponents who encountered the main group. From their position, they could take action against enemies behind their backs.

Meanwhile, Lonan and Elmo stood next to other 5th stage peak armors in another position from which they could help defend Bonfi and Tenglin or the main group.

Acidbelly had a very good view of the areas of the two groups in positions other than the main group, so if those two places were found instead of the main point, they wouldn't be defenseless or helpless either.

At these three group points, no one was cultivating or doing anything that would make them unaware of the surrounding situation. Since they were only a few days away from the appearance of the cyan pentagram, each of them was in position for this important point in their journey.

Knowing that there would be enemies nearby when the pentagram was formed, they expected some enemies would be in the area even before the pentagram formed.

Perhaps those enemies were already nearby!

But even with that possibility in mind, they didn't want to investigate the area and get into a conflict before the pentagram was formed. Until that happened, all they wanted to do was to secure their position in anticipation of their most important day in the area.

But while the group was in position waiting for the cyan pentagram to form, others in the area were searching for them!

...

A few dozen kilometers away from Vicente's group, a group of Dark Path magicians were positioned in the area, searching not for the cyan pentagram, but for the enemy group.

After weeks of searching for signs of their targets, the humans in this group felt closer and closer to reaching their four goals.

Arriving at this location this afternoon, the group had just set up camp for a few more days of rest.

There was a good reason for their stop!

Inside the camp, set up in a less protected area of this region where they knew monsters and vampires wouldn't attack them, were 12 tents and over 60 people.

Some of them were on guard, but their concern wasn't the usual dangers of the area, but the possibility that Vicente's allies were close by and might attack them.

Still, they thought it unlikely, and of the 60, only 10 were on guard, all of them High-level Paragons.

Inside the camp, the remaining 50 individuals were half Paragons and half Archmages.

The Paragons obviously weren't there to fight. Of the 25 Archmages, 22 were Beginners, while 3 were Intermediate Archmages. Of these individuals, they were all looking to the future with an interest in facing the Dark Master, who they knew could change their fate.

'Those damn vampires... They're using us to find Vicente Fuller, but I will not let them get their way,' thought the leader of the group, one of the three Intermediate Archmages.

'Demien wants Vicente's blood, but what if we find him first?' He smiled as he considered the possibility. 'I will sacrifice this brat myself and use it to become an Advanced Archmage!'

While he thought about it, his two strongest allies had no interest in standing in his way. Since they had recently used the special vampire technique to become stronger, they wouldn't be able to achieve the same as the group leader if they sacrificed Vicente. As members of the same faction, they were interested in having their leader become the first Advanced Archmage in their history!

One of them was meditating now, while the other was in a tent next to a Beginner Archmage who was doing a great job of finding Vicente Fuller.

"Elder, how long will it take us to get here? I'm afraid if we delay, the vampires will find our tracks and thwart our plans," said a man outside the tent, eager for his journey to end.

"Don't worry. Zoe's ability will point us in the right direction in ten days at the most. We should reach the enemy group soon after," said the man on guard, while the woman called Zoe analyzed the future of their group with her ability.

She had a similar power to the elves, but she wasn't as efficient as the creatures from the tribe Vicente had visited. However, because of her, the group was only a few dozen kilometers away from Vicente's group!

...

Meanwhile, close to the Dark Path magicians' camp, another small group was waiting in the area.

This group was not made up of humans, but of superior vampires!

There were six of them, four Low-level Paragons and two Mid-level Paragons, standing around waiting for the results of those they were hunting.

"Zoe Frazer is watching the future again. They should move again in a few days." Said a vampire who was keeping an eye on the group.

Hearing this, the leader of the vampire group smiled, satisfied with the work of these humans. "Good. As soon as they show they know where Vicente Fuller is, I'll call the elder to join the hunt!"
