Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 957 Nemesis Powers

Chapter 957  Nemesis Powers

One week after the last training match against Bazel, Vicente had made progress in the three Centers he had dedicated his time to during that time.

He was familiarizing himself with the new forging rules and special techniques to improve his forging skills and meet the continent’s standards, but he needed more time. For the Medicine Center, he felt he could change his situation in no time, as he was progressing rapidly.

Meanwhile, his focus was on the Combat Center, where after a week of studying, he had had another training match today. This time, he had defeated a slightly weaker opponent than Bazel.

Now, he was still in the Combat Center, having finished his match and moved on to the area’s administration building, where the Center’s library was located.

Once inside, he stopped next to a large shelf of books on magical forms.

He was studying Anicane’s magical forms and beasts carefully, especially the powers that were nemeses to his electromagnetic power.

As he sat down, he opened a book that he had read the last time and had already seen that he could learn with it about his nemesis’ powers.

{Anti-Magnetism}

{Features: it can neutralize, control, or nullify the effects of magnetic fields and magnetic forces. It can be used for both defense and attack, making its user extremely versatile and dangerous in combat where magnetism plays a crucial role.} n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

{Details: it can nullify fields that come into contact with the bearer of the power, or even in an area where the user has cast a special spell; it can manipulate non-magnetic materials with a material control or create artifacts resistant to magnetic forces; natural resistance to magnetic fields, protective fields…}

The first of the magical forms that were the nemesis of his magnetic powers caught Vicente’s eye, but he didn’t stop reading, continuing his search for the next.

{Mana Manipulation}

{Features: Mana Manipulation, when transformed into a special power by a Magic Gem, goes far beyond the natural mana manipulation of a magician. A user of this form of magic can control not only their own body’s mana but also the mana of their opponents. The dominant form of this power is to interfere with the spells and special abilities of the targets of the user of this type of power.}

{Details: Among the most common uses of the power is the mana rejection in certain areas; suppression of opponents; enrichment of magical artifacts by concentrating mana on them; absorption of magical attacks; magical telekinesis…}.

The list of possibilities for users of this form of magic was immense, containing three pages of possibilities for this type of magician alone.

Prisiche saw the part of the reading where her master was, and said in a low voice, “I wouldn’t worry about that kind of power, master. Mana Manipulation at that level is so rare that even in all of Anicane, there may only be one or two such magicians. And even then, they are the nemesis of all kinds of powers, so most of them have little freedom or can be killed quickly.”

‘That makes sense.’ He sighed.

The possibilities of Mana Manipulation were too powerful, capable of frightening even someone as confident in his talent and powers as Vicente.

“I hope I never meet someone like that,” He said her in a low voice, making Prisiche laugh subtly.

“You are modest, master… But you’re right. It is best never to meet such an opponent. The risks would be too great.”

{Water Manipulation}

{Features: it allows the user to control, shape, and influence water in various ways.}

{Details: some of the most common ways to use this power are to control liquid water, manipulate ice, steam and mist, cleanse, heal and control climate…}

Among the details of this magical form was a warning that when the elemental affinity of this magical form was remarkably pure—similar to Vicente’s affinity with light and darkness in relation to the Throne—the power could reach the point of being able to control the intracellular water of living beings.

Vicente understood how this could be his nemesis, as any power with the potential to paralyze his body or mana was a natural nemesis.

Like Mana Manipulation, Water Manipulation—at a high level—was hard to come by in Anicane, and all its practitioners were hunted down from the start of their journeys.

{Telepathy}

{Features: it’s a psychic ability that allows its holder to mentally communicate with other people, read thoughts, influence minds, and even project their own ideas or mental images onto others.}

{Details: it can be used for a variety of purposes, including silent communication, espionage, mental manipulation, and strengthening emotional bonds…}

Vicente had heard of telepaths in Polaris Realm, but had never fought one. However, this skill, like Water Manipulation, had to be of a high level to be dangerous to him.

{Illusionism}

{Characteristics: it allows the user to create visual, auditory, tactile, or even mental illusions.}

{Details: it can be used to deceive, distract, confuse, and manipulate others, making Illusionism a versatile and powerful tool in combat, espionage, and entertainment situations…}

Some abilities were not exactly nemeses of Vicente’s powers, but nemeses of most powers. He continued to study these special magical forms, eventually focusing on learning the methods to act against the bearers of them.

There were ways to counter each of these abilities, some more difficult to achieve, with requirements that depended much on one’s origin. Others were easier to counter, but there were still some that required a much higher cultivation level than the opponent’s.

By the time he finished reading the book, Vicente was tired. At the end of his day’s study, he left the book where he found it and made his way home.

On his way to the dormitory where he now lived, a special place for newborns from lower planes, he met one of his colleagues from the Forge Center.

“Larissa?” He asked when he saw a beautiful white-haired woman waiting for him, her arms folded as she stared at him.

This was Larissa Carstensen, a woman from a world called Concordia, whom he had met at the Forge Center while searching for information.

“Let’s talk,” she said as she turned and entered her home, four doors down from Vicente’s.
