Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-898

898 First of Her Name Meanwhile, in the heart of The Ivory Desert...

"Welcome back, elders. The coalition welcomes you back with joy." A vampire dressed in a dark red cloak and holding a glowing staff said as he looked down at the ground, face to face with a group of 33 superior vampires.

Behind this vampire with the golden staff, 21 other superior vampires at the beginning of the 5th stage had their heads lowered, their palms touching their fists at chest level, each of them solemnly positioned to receive the group of 33 beings.

In this dark place, which seemed to be the basement of an ancient building and was lit by a few torches here and there, the 33 beings had sharp expressions on their faces, each of them displaying powerful mid-stage magical fluctuations.

"Adam, what's the situation on the continent? What has your group been doing in our absence?" A woman at the front of the group of 33 asked, her ample breasts and mesmerizing gaze capable of stealing the attention of even experts of her race.

"Elder Kali, things are complicated, I would say. Vicente Fuller, an ascended human who emerged during the elders' retreat, has been acting very much against our plans. He has prevented us from completing our plans for the southern region and recently defeated us in an important battle." Said the vampire at the head of this group.

These Mid-level Paragon vampires, who had begun their seclusion with Low-level Paragon cultivation, expressed their surprise as they frowned and pursed their lips as they looked at their companions.

"Vicente Fuller? Is that an Archmage we didn't hunt?" The woman, who was at the top of her level, close to her promotion to High-level Paragon, asked.

"No. He's a High-level Paragon, but he's not like other humans. With two magical forms, nine cyan pentagrams and one green, Vicente Fuller is a monster among humans. He recently killed Elder Erasmus. That was four months ago, so I imagine he's stronger now."

The woman named Kali clenched her fists, seeing she had to consider Vicente carefully.

"I see. Well, you're going to fill us in on the things that have happened on the continent over the last few years while we're on the move. I want each of the group to investigate the whereabouts of this Vicente Fuller. Our focus should not be on the hunt, but on preparing for the end of our mid-level companions' seclusion.

In a year at the most, they will end their confinement, and most of them should reach the level of High-level Paragons. When they awaken, we'll really move against Vicente Fuller."

"Sure, elder."

Everyone agreed, knowing that in the absence of their superiors in seclusion, Kali was the leader of the coalition, even if she wasn't the strongest in terms of cultivation.

The over 50 vampires left the underground area, looking forward to the day when dozens of High-level Paragons of their race would leave this place to hunt down Vicente Fuller.

Even though Vicente could already kill High-level Paragons, they were confident they could defeat him.

In the worst-case scenario, in two years at the most, their leaders who had cultivation—before the seclusion—of High-level Paragons should leave this area with new powers!

By then, unless Vicente became a powerful Archmage, there would be no way for him to escape!

...

While the vampires were preparing for a new phase of their plans against Vicente, and his group was traveling with new goals in mind, the situation in the south of the continent had transformed in the past year.

With Vicente operating in the north of the continent and the vampire and monster coalition aware of this, the strongest individuals in The Ivory Desert coalition had stopped going to the center and south and turned their attention to hunting Vicente and his group.

As a result, in the past year, especially in the past six months, the center and south of the Polaris Realm had experienced the best moment of crisis since the Purification!

Because of Vicente's actions before he left for the north and the consequences of his actions in the north, the people and beasts of the Light Path in these areas were flourishing again.

Most of the territories were still dangerous and monster-infested. But the cities were safer than ever, with larger security areas, new rail lines connecting them, and previous problems completely solved.

Even as Vicente traveled in the north, the Awakening Altars at the Cataclysm Order outposts functioned as they should. Even when he could not activate the Awakenings because he was in seclusion, his force had enough Paragons to command the Awakenings of the juniors.

With resources to spare due to the current lack of competition, the strongest and smartest in the Fuller family domains were thriving like never before.

Every week for the past few months, new Paragons had appeared in the south of the continent, and even a few new Archmages had resurfaced or emerged from the shadows.

On top of that, some members of the Fuller family had become much stronger since Vicente's departure!

...

In the ancient capital of the Chutha Dynasty, a black-haired woman with a veil covering her face sat on a golden throne, with several High-level Paragons kneeling before her.

At her sides, two Beginner Archmages stood guard, witnessing this historic moment for the state.

In addition to the powerful men on their knees in the center of the hall, nobles and wealthy men were clustered around the edges, each looking full of hope and will to live.

The atmosphere in the old royal hall of this kingdom seemed tense, as some old enemies stood side by side, looking in the direction of the woman sitting on the throne.

"I now proclaim Lauren of the House Fuller, first of her name, Queen of the Chutha Dynasty and the domains of Kenyth, protector of mankind," said an old High-level Paragon, dressed in gold and silver robes and carrying a six-foot staff of crystals.

The old man placed a crystal tiara on Lauren's head and said. "Long may she reign!"

"Long may she reign!" The surrounding experts chanted simultaneously, their voices filled with determination and supreme devotion to their new leader.

Some stood at Lauren's signal, raising their weapons and displaying their magical forms, eager for the battles to come.

Lauren simply closed her eyes and accepted the position, though she had no desire to lead. But for the sake of her family and the domains to the south, she accepted the challenge.

'I hope this gives you some space, Nina, Annie. I'll hold off the enemies as long as I can. Vicente does his part in the north. I'll do mine in the dynasty!'
