Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-910

Outside the Citadel, a camp led by the vampires was in the process of being set up.

Meanwhile, a group of five Beginner Archmage superior vampires had gathered alongside one elder of the monster coalition, a Master Archmage!

This time, the vampires didn't want to lose anyone from their group to Vicente. They were going to attack with full force and ensure the end of the young trouble hidden in the ancient city before them.

As their men finished setting up the camp where they would await Vicente's departure from the citadel, the six strongest in the area looked in the direction of the city.

"Unfortunately, we don't have our leader with us. Otherwise, we could bypass the Citadel's defenses and deal with the enemy once and for all."

"The supreme leader will leave his seclusion in less than six months. I hope I won't have to bother him with the Vicente Fuller problem then. We can handle this young magician on our own."

"But it's amazing how far a human being has come. No one like him has appeared on this continent in over a million years. We have to be careful when we finally dominate the continent. It is imperative that we prevent another Vicente Fuller from appearing among the humans."

The monster at the end of the 6th stage narrowed his eyes, the last of the legendary Cthulhu race, a prehistoric race on the verge of extinction, but which still had one last living representative in the Polaris Realm.

Unfortunately for this group, even the most cultivated being on the continent in the current generation could not destroy the barrier created by many human Archmages over the past 100,000 years.

"Vicente Fuller is in seclusion to reach the 6th stage. Will he be able to advance in time for our master to leave his retreat?" Asked the magnificent sea creature, standing next to the continent's strongest vampires.

"It doesn't matter. Even if he advances, he won't be able to face us right after a breakthrough. And soon our leader will come out of his cave. By then, even if the impossible happens, and he escapes from us, he will be killed by our leader."

Said the oldest of these vampires, smiling as he watched the old Citadel.

"The stronger he becomes, the more valuable his blood will be to our supreme leader. Maybe that's what we need for our leader to become an Advanced Archmage!" One of them saw the positive side of letting Vicente try.

Of course, they wouldn't risk such a thing if they had the chance to hunt him down now.

"We just can't let him add new pentagrams to his magical forms. The progress to the 6th stage itself isn't that worrying."

They were right. Apart from a small qualitative improvement, the biggest gain of a newly promoted person was having more mana, which meant a greater ability to withstand combat. In other words, Vicente could fight longer or deal with more threats than before. But that didn't mean his attacks would be harder to handle or more deadly to more powerful beings than his old enemies.

Until he absorbed his next two pentagrams, he couldn't really be considered an Archmage!

It was the same for all levels of cultivation for magicians. It was only when their essences were completed that they would show their full power.

However, that didn't mean he wouldn't be more difficult to deal with than he was now.

"Send our men to surround the Citadel. We'll form a space seal over this place. We'll make sure the enemy doesn't get hold of any special escape methods that might exist in this area."

The others agreed, and some of them went to instruct their subordinates, while others prepared to form the seal.

Later that day, Lonan and the others would watch from inside the city as the vampires and Cthulhu took action against the city's formations.

For a few minutes, they thought these beings were trying to break through the defensive formation, which made them feel a little insecure. But they soon realized the enemy's plan went deeper than that.

"They want to prevent us from leaving the city with alternative methods. If we want to escape, we'll have to face them," Acidbelly said with depth in his voice, seeing the day of truth was coming for them.

"Even if Vicente goes advances, it's probably our end," Tenglin added soberly. "We'll do our best to make sure he gets away. As long as he gets his 11th pentagram, the possibilities for him will be almost endless."

The four of them looked at each other, determined to do whatever was necessary to help Vicente complete his journey and survive his future escape from the Citadel.

They were all replaceable, but not Vicente. They couldn't risk his life so soon!

Vicente remained in the dark about events outside the Citadel and continued his studies to advance to the 6th stage.

His cyan talent meant he could easily become an Archmage. And indeed, he was on the verge of doing so. But at just over 30 years old, he had grown up too fast. Even though having a talent should allow him to easily reach the 6th stage, it didn't mean he could ignore his understanding of reality.

Having a cyan talent meant as long as he put in a minimum amount of effort, he could reach the 6th stage and its peak. But it wouldn't be enough for him to use precious resources to get there quickly. He had to go through growth experiences and understand them in order to relish this gift from heaven.

Vicente understood this, so at no point was he disappointed with his rate of progress. He just kept going, training, learning new things, cultivating, looking for when he would "break through" the current limits of his cultivation.

One month in the Citadel wouldn't be enough, let alone two. The third month of seclusion would be more interesting for him, and during his meditation, he would see obvious opportunities for progress.

But only in his fourth month of seclusion, in the third month of the vampire siege around the Citadel, would Vicente reach the moment he had been waiting for!

In the middle of the fourth month in the old Citadel, his cultivation would explode, leaving the previous limits behind, lifting him to the next level qualitatively and quantitatively in just a few breaths.

Opening his eyes in a cultivation room full of metal artifacts, Vicente felt his 10 pentagrams appear, four of them showing many indigo lines and symbols.

His mana stabilized at the level of a Beginner Archmage, and he reached the peak stage of the Polaris Realm!
