Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

"No, how would I be?" Vicente commented bitterly.

Unlike other magicians, his journey was becoming more difficult and dangerous with every step he took to become stronger.

He was getting powerful very quickly and becoming increasingly difficult for magicians to beat. But his hunting times were becoming more difficult, too. The last time he went hunting, he had almost lost his life, and also Torne's life, in the process of killing that beast.

But on his next hunt, he might have to face one of the most cultivated beings in Polaris Realm!

Newton laughed when he heard Vicente's tone. "That's true. There's no way you could be prepared. But you need to do it in the next three years.

I won't be able to help you locate the area where you'll find your next pentagram like I did last time, but I'll see what I can do to help you. In any case, you'd better prepare a team to accompany you. That will improve your chances against the next magical creature that becomes your target."

"Hmm." Vicente nodded in agreement.

"You'll have to travel to the north of the continent to find a cyan pentagram. You'll have to look for lands marked by extreme natural phenomena related to your elemental affinities. That will be your clue to finding what you're looking for.

As for The Purification, I'll try to give you all the information I have, but you should focus on your other problems until Nina awakens. Even though The Seven Day Tsunami will happen after she turns 14, the effects of The Purification may take some time to reach the far north of the continent.

I'd say that the biggest problems would reach us about two years from the start of Demonix's action. That's the time you'll have to get stronger in your hunt. After that, the family and Nina may need you."

"I'll do my best to be back by then. But there's still a lot of water to pass under this bridge, professor." Vicente stood up, intending to leave. "Do you have any chance of becoming a Sovereign by then?"

Newton was already a High-level Mage, so Vicente was curious as to how strong this man would be during the crisis.

"It's hard to say." Newton was honest. "My great talent isn't related to my cultivation speed. I need a lot more time to advance than you do. And I'm not that young. So I can't say anything about that. It's not impossible, but the likelihood of me completing all the requirements by then isn't that great either."

"I see. If you want to speed things up by using resources, you can come to my family anytime. It's no use having a solid magical foundation if you don't have the power to defend yourself." Vicente said before leaving, leaving Newton thinking about those words.

...

After leaving the Royal Academy, Vicente went straight to the local Awakening Temple, where he soon got permission to go to Nun Barber.

On arriving at the workplace where Jasmine was, Vicente bumped into Layla as she opened the door for him.

"Vicente, you're finally back, huh?" She looked at him meaningfully, seeing the man who had dominated her after weeks of waiting for him.

Vicente smiled at her and greeted her without telling Jasmine what they had together. "Good to see you're well, Layla. How was the trip back here?"

"It was pretty simple. Casey doesn't have the same level of bad luck as you, and his power is very convenient for warding off trouble." She said, remembering that when walking with Vicente, a 'black cloud' always seemed to follow them.

"I can imagine." He laughed, knowing this was probably the truth.

He then looked at Jasmine, the pink-haired woman he hadn't seen since his departure from Saltstar City.

Stopping in front of her, he kissed one of her cheeks before analyzing her strength.

"You're better than before, huh?" He smiled at her, seeing she had taken advantage of her opportunities as she was almost on the same level as Layla.

"Soon, you'll start fulfilling our agreement." He continued and asked. "When will you be promoted to a higher position?"

Jasmine smiled and said. "I don't know. Probably when I reach the peak of the 3rd stage, I'll be called to the kingdom's capital."

"Will you serve there before becoming a Sovereign?" He asked as he settled into Jasmine's well-decorated room.

Layla sat down next to her friend while Jasmine shook her head negatively. "Hardly. Our organization's main post is in the kingdom, so you'd think I'd go there, right? But the truth is, since I met you, I've progressed very quickly.

That probably won't happen in the future, but our organization doesn't know that." She looked at Layla and continued. "Soon, our superiors will look at our situation and think it would be a waste for us to stay here in the Seidel Kingdom.

If it took us 40 years longer to reach our current levels, we'd probably be directed to the Seidel Kingdom capital post when we got close to the 4th stage. But they'd be unlikely to do that as we're less than 30 years old and already close to that level.

So I think we'll be sent to some post outside the kingdom."

"Where do you think you'll be sent?"

"Probably to Kenyth Empire. But I can't be sure. We might even be sent to the organization's headquarters."

"That would make things better for us," Vicente commented. "In any case, we'll continue with our old arrangement wherever you go."

"I know that. Don't worry. I'll give you the information I have access to." She assured him, knowing that Vicente hadn't forgotten what he wanted by making a deal with her.

He nodded at her before changing the subject. "Did you investigate what Layla told you about while we were traveling?"

"Yes, I discovered some possible motivations for the monster sightings in this part of the continent." She said as a worried expression formed on her face, thinking about the possibilities she had discovered.

"Anything about The Purification?" He asked dryly.

She narrowed her eyes and asked in a grave tone, sensing a bad omen. "Where did you hear that?"

"I encountered other monsters before I reached the city. Monsters even stronger than the ones Layla and I saw." He said as the two women became more serious. "That led me to hear from a soldier of the kingdom and a monster about The Purification."

"If that's the case, then maybe the other possibilities I've had access to are wrong," Jasmine said as she turned a little pale, for The Purification was the worst of the worst motivations for the current situation.

If that was the explanation for these monster sightings in the south of the continent, chaos could soon reach these lands, and even Sovereigns would be at great risk!
