Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 935: Time of Departure (2)
Seeing the vampire blood in front of her, an essence different from the other vampires she had killed, Lauren hesitated.
Vicente said to her, “I know what you’re feeling. I know you want to spend your last moments with me. It’s not fair how things end, but you have to do it, Lauren. Take it here and now. I’m going to make this area inaccessible to all living things once you begin to absorb it.
When you wake up in a few weeks, go home and tell the family I’ll do my best on the Supreme Continent to get back to them as soon as possible.”
She nodded without saying anything, tears streaming down her delicate, pale face. But even though she felt strange, her heart pounding and her whole body numb, she did what she had to do.
With her brother still near, Lauren sat in a lotus position and used the blood of the strongest vampire in history.
Vicente had only given her as much of that blood as she could absorb. At her current level, she could barely absorb a third of Demien’s blood!
It was a pity that vampire blood decayed quickly. Since it would take her weeks to absorb just that amount, it would be a mistake to keep more for future absorptions.
She felt the powerful effects of the vampire blood and quickly overcame the resistance to vampire blood that her body had before it started the transformations.
Vicente saw this and sighed as he felt his third pentagram stabilize at the indigo grade.
‘I have little time. In 15 minutes at the most, I won’t be on the continent anymore.’ He concluded as he moved, using the metals from the rocks in the area to build a temple around the spot where Lauren was cultivating.
He formed a tower in the shape of an open cylinder, enclosing the entire area where Lauren was, with a radius of 45 meters, enough for him not to disturb her, but to guarantee her safety after his departure.
The 20-meter tower, inscribed with various symbols that Vicente had deliberately left as messages for his family, went into action, forming an electromagnetic field so strong it would be impossible for even Master Archmages who didn’t have the right elemental compatibility required to enter the area.
Only someone wearing one of Vicente’s 6th stage armors or with a natural elemental affinity similar to his would be able to approach and enter this tower!
When he had finished forming it, Vicente built some 5th and 6th stage armors, finding it much easier to create artifacts now that he was much stronger.
However, he only created a group of 10 creatures.
“Half of you should stay here and wait for Lauren. The other half should go to the human domains and deliver the news of Demien’s death. There should still be over four 6th stage vampires on the continent, so the humans should prepare themselves. Finally, inform my family of my departure.”
“Half of you should stay here and wait for Lauren. The other half should go to the human domains and deliver the news of Demien’s death. There should still be over four 6th stage vampires on the continent, so the humans should prepare themselves. Finally, inform my family of my departure.”
“Yes, creator.” The 10 armors spoke simultaneously until half of them moved away, heading south, while the other half positioned themselves around the tower.
Before he felt his next pentagram develop, Vicente sat down on a rock in that spot and looked toward the tower with a sigh.
There was nothing left for him to do. Using a wormhole to get to his family wouldn’t work. He probably wouldn’t reach them before he was banished from the continent. Making more armor wouldn’t work, either. There weren’t enough quality materials in the area.
Cultivating would only shorten his time even more, and since there was no one around, there was no way he could try to help in any other way.
Having left almost all of his valuable resources with his family before his departure, Vicente took his armor, spatial ring, and valuable items with him, leaving only his clothes. He placed them in the metal tower, leaving them behind for someone to pick up in the future, or for his family to remember him by.
‘Unfortunately, I won’t be able to see the elves and dragons like I…’ He was lamenting, remembering his promise to these tribes from the Majestic Treefrog Grove, when he suddenly felt something strange and looked up to the sky, his back to the tower where Lauren was.
A circular golden glow, large enough for six people to stand side by side, caught his eye before three creatures with pointed ears and golden hairs appeared.
Vicente thought that beings from the Supreme Continent were coming for him, given the strong fluctuation of the portal. But a second later, he identified the newcomers as he got up from where he was standing.
“Elves…” He opened his mouth with a warm smile on his face.
In front of two of the tribal elders he had met on the previous journey stood an Advanced Archmage, the strongest of this tribe, who had been in seclusion during Vicente’s time there.
“Vicente Fuller.” The three elves appeared less than eight meters from him, each of them making greeting gestures.
“I thought you couldn’t leave the Majestic Treefrog Grove…” He said as he looked at the two elders he already knew, a woman and a man.
The woman replied, “We really couldn’t. But when you killed Demien Bloodthorne, our agreement with the vampires ended. Now we can come and go freely.”
“I see…” He thought as he stroked his chin. “In that case, have you come to say goodbye to me? I remember you wanted me to return to your region.”
The man of Intermediate Archmage cultivation nodded affirmatively. “We realized you would not die as we thought, but that your departure was imminent. As soon as Demien died, we moved here.”
“Thank your two magical forms for that, Vicente Fuller. Two distinct entities in the same body… The rules for you are not the same as for the other magicians who existed before. Maybe that’s why you’re still here, even with three indigo pentagrams on you,” said the strongest of the three as he showed Vicente one of his hands.
Vicente shook hands with the leader of the Elves’ tribe before listening.
“Anyway, we have little time before you are forced to leave the continent. Take this with you,” the elf leader said as he handed Vicente something, a bracelet with a diamond on it. “I will not talk about this object now. Everything you need to know, you’ll know when you put your mana into it.
For now, just accept it. In exchange for what you’ll learn later, we’ll do our best to help the humans restore order to the continent.”
Vicente trusted the elves, knowing that this was an agreement in which each side had to do its part, without a treaty forcing them to do so. But he needed his family to be helped in some way, and the elves needed him to act on the Supreme Continent to complete their interests.
Unfortunately, even with the help of the elves and probably the other powerful tribes of the Majestic Treefrog Grove, the situation on the continent wouldn’t change much for the humans.
Certainly, the involvement of these creatures from Majestic Treefrog Grove would help improve the humans’ chances against the vampires, especially the Fuller family’s chances. But with 6th stage vampires, even Advanced Archmage level dragons and elves would struggle in future battles.
Vicente knew that, so this promise wasn’t enough to make him feel relieved.
But he thanked them before he felt his first magnetic pentagram show signs of evolving.
“Thank you for making the effort to come here, elders. I’ll do my best when I get to the Supreme Continent.”
