Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1005  Hunting Time 

'3-Star, huh?' Vicente felt his cultivation at the peak of 2-Star after months of hard cultivation, close to reaching the breakthrough he was waiting for to hunt his pentagrams.

But it wasn't today that he would succeed. Sensing his time was up in that cultivation room of the Manifold Family's training center, he grabbed his things and left, finding himself in a corridor overlooking the beautiful, modern center of Ravengarde.

From where he was standing, he saw Larissa waiting for him, who was also there after having joined him as a Manifold Family sponsor months ago.

Larissa's cultivation wasn't as fast as Vicente's, but she had also come from a lower plane and shown herself to be an outstanding talent. Her cultivation was now at the beginning of 2-Star of the 7th stage.

The last 18 months had been hectic for the two leaders of {Golden Partners}. They had engaged in 11 collective missions, completing each one while maintaining their responsibilities with Stonewall.

Vicente advanced in his most recent mandatory missions, as well as continuing to fight matches for the Outer Disciple rank, improving his positions and finally entering the top 50.

His fights had become the biggest attraction for 6th and 7th stage individuals on the island and even some Grand Magus monitored him.

Fortunately, he had escaped the three assassination attempts he had suffered in the last nine months. In the meantime, he has built up quite an asset alongside his faction, having finally managed to create two missions using the Dark Hands system.

Three months ago he had created the mission to stop assassins getting to him, and more recently he had created the mission to research on Fairy Nan's group.

His mission was obviously the most difficult, and he didn't expect any quick results. But Fairy Nan's mission was already paying off. Within a few days, he had already had his mission accepted by someone who gave him a deadline of between three months and a year to get back to him.

Considering that there were still over three years to go before he met Nan's group, he was relaxed about this deadline.

Anyway, his faction had grown a lot in recent months, as had his power. Now close to reaching 3-Star, Vicente couldn't help talking to his ally about the hunt for his next pentagram.

"We have to travel to a forest soon, Larissa." He walked beside him, unaccompanied by Rex, who was probably asleep at the {Golden Partners} headquarters.

Beasts get stronger in their sleep, after all.

As for Prisiche, she was by Vicente's side while he was talking to Larissa.

"Do you really feel ready?" Larissa trusted Vicente more than anyone. Even Lothur hadn't given her the feeling Vicente was currently giving her during their time in Concordia. But what Vice said was something that could endanger even groups of Grand Magus!

Hunting violet pentagrams was tough!

"Yes, my power has improved a lot. If we leave now, I'll probably advance in cultivation before we reach our first stop... But if you're not confident, we can do one more mission and settle my hunt on the way back."

She shook her head in denial. "No, that wouldn't change anything for the others or for me. Only you can grow with each mission.

Sigh! It's time we sorted that out. When you get your pentagram, your strength will increase a lot. That will be good for us." She agreed it was time to move after a second thought.

He smiled at her. Vicente had helped all his group mates hunt for their pentagrams over the last few months, including the newcomers who had joined the group and had already become stronger.

Besides Bert and Garin, whom Vice had obviously invited into his faction after their joint action earlier, 11 more members had joined {Golden Partners}. Of this group, 10 were newly promoted Magus.

"Then let's travel to Fallsor Bluff. Prepare our team. I'll take care of some business and meet you in two days," he said as he separated from Larissa and headed back to the Collins residence.

{Vicente Fuller}

{Cultivation: 2-Star Magus}

{Origin: Polaris Realm}

{Magical Forms: Throne of Light and Darkness; Magnetism.}

{Rank: Outer Disciple; (47th in Combat Center rank)}

{Professions: 7th stage Blacksmith; 7th stage Healer; 7th stage Real Sorcerer.}

He saw his status as a disciple of Stonewall, where little had changed. But he had evolved in his two professions, becoming a 7th stage Healer and Real Sorcerer.

After these improvements, he had won several prizes and many stone coins, and had gained access to more information about the professions as well. At the moment, the only reason Vicente wasn't an 8th stage blacksmith was because of his limited cultivation, while in the other two professions, he had already advanced to where he wasn't far from catching up with his master.

Collins still had a lot to teach Vicente, however. Not all the understanding in the world could grasp the subtleties of life that only experienced people understood.

Even though he no longer learned as much from Collins in terms of technical information, Vicente still often got revelations from talking to his master in sorcery.

However, Vicente didn't talk to Collins about the invitation he had received from hell earlier. He said that he had performed a ritual and seen the same phenomenon that his master had seen with him previously, but he didn't go into detail about the differences between the two occasions.

Collins was surprised at the time, but the opening of the Gates of Hell was a random event, so he suspected nothing. But because of that experience, the man helped Vicente understand a few more things about the Gates of Hell and even the Nine Paths.

The man had even mentioned Argardus, and how the definitive answers Vice was looking for were in that place. But Collins had also helped Vice by researching islands where the young man could go before becoming a peak expert and looking for better answers.

The best way for him, according to Collins, was to go to the dark area of Anicane, where the most dangerous and powerful islands in the world were located. Supposedly, the weakest region in the suppression of the controllers of the Nine Paths was in this area.

The only downside, apart from the dangers of the journey, was that Light Cay was on the opposite side of the world to this region, which meant a long journey for Vicente.

He was already inclined to leave the island in a few years, so he didn't bother with what he had so far. Better to know that there were places for him to look than to have no clue at all! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Thinking back to the last conversation he'd had with his master, he entered Collins' property.

"Master, after today I won't be seeing you for a while. I'm finally going to hunt my pentagrams." Vicente announced as he stood alone with the man in the rat-faced fellow's workroom.

Upon hearing this, Collins put down the paintbrush he was holding and picked up something he wanted to give Vicente. "Are you going to Fallsor Bluff?"

Vicente nodded in affirmation.

"In that case, take this with you. It will help you find something important for becoming a Realm Sorcerer of the 8th stage!" the man said with a twinkle in his eye.
