Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

As soon as Vicente had placed the green pentagram in the special crystal, Rory approached him and asked to borrow the item.",

When he put his mana into the crystal, Rory's eyes opened wide.

"I didn't know you had something so incredible! When did you get this crystal?"

Vicente smiled. "After I separated from Sarah and Casey after my revenge. I found it in the body of a monster. I had never used it before for lack of opportunity. But luckily I brought it with me on this journey."

"I see. How fortunate for us. It would be a shame to waste this pentagram." Rory handed back the necklace with the crystal in question and asked. "This is for Nina, right?"

"Hmm, Nina won't have to hunt for her pentagram when she becomes a Sovereign. That will make things easier for us. It would be too dangerous for her to hunt for pentagrams of this quality in this chaotic world."

The current moment was no longer ideal for hunting pentagrams. With the onset of the disaster and the major powers of the world suffering from the situation against the vampires, hunting pentagrams was already much more dangerous than it would have been years ago.

But now the situation was still 'calm.' Vicente and everyone understood that in two or three years, and in the years after that, the situation would get worse. It would definitely be more difficult to hunt pentagrams in the future than it was now!

Finding this pentagram today was the best thing for Nina and her future growth.

"What now? This place seems to contain a lot of negative magical essence," Sarah commented as she looked at the dark surroundings of this chamber, which now seemed more like a cave because of the roots in the walls, the amount of dust and spider webs in the area.

Vicente looked around and explained to his group. "I will collect this liquid and the magical essence in this area. This place is precious to Dark Path magicians."

"That..." Sarah muttered while Layla looked at Vicente strangely.

Vicente said. "Do you remember the encounter with the 5th stage Dark Reaper?"

Everyone nodded yes.

"Well, do you know what that creature told me? He said that the continent needs Dark Path beings to contain monsters. As chaotic and destructive as Dark Path magicians can be, they are essential to the balance of the continent."

"Nonsense! Dark Path magicians are only interested in strengthening themselves and fulfilling their desires," Layla said with a smile on her face, seeing Vicente had been fooled by a Dark Reaper.

'Of course, that monster would try to say something like that! It's a damn Dark Path creature!' She thought to herself.

But Vicente disagreed. "No, you're wrong, Layla. Think about it. What elements normally make up monsters on the continent?"

Rory replied. "The elements of the Dark Path. Most monsters have powers based on shadow, darkness, poisonous elemental sweeps, necromancy, curses, summons, etc."

Vicente showed positively to Rory. "What about elemental suppression?"

"It restricts creatures of the same affinity..." Rory muttered, realizing what his friend was getting at. "Are you saying that Dark Path magicians are the natural suppressors of monsters? Then why are monsters getting out of hand in alliance with vampires?"

"Because the Congregation of Revelation specialists killed most Dark Path magicians centuries ago by," Vicente pointed at Layla.

"That... That makes sense," Sarah said as she looked at Layla, feeling it all made sense if Vicente was right.

Even Layla couldn't help but be disturbed by such a comment.

She couldn't argue with Vicente's remark. It was a fact that the Congregation of Revelations had, centuries ago, destroyed the Cataclysm Order, the largest organization of Dark Path magicians. The Temple's forces hunted down nearly 80% of the Dark Path magicians on the continent back then.

It also made sense to say that Dark Path magicians were natural suppressors of monsters. Monsters were indeed associated with the elements of the Dark Path, so there was no better way to limit them than with beings capable of using elemental suppression.

'Are we responsible for the current disaster?' Layla asked herself, as her expression changed. She couldn't help but think how vicious the old man who had attacked their group earlier had seemed.

Vicente wasn't trying to make Layla feel bad. He just wanted her to understand that she couldn't blindly trust the Congregation of Revelations. She didn't have to believe the Dark Reaper completely, but she should at least doubt things a little.

He sighed and said. "I will open the secret places of the order to receive Dark Path magicians, so it makes sense to have negative essences to help these magicians grow stronger."

Rory and the others understood what he had in mind and no longer found it strange that he wanted to collect the essences available in the area.

Soon they would clean up the area before slowly returning to the surface, where they would split up to explore the area in search of spatial rings and other things.

There were many interesting places to explore in the area. Although the two most important places were where Vicente had just passed and where Lina and Casey were, there were other possibilities for the group beyond the items on the corpses in the village.

...

Vicente and his party were exploring an ancient ruin in search of opportunities when Miss Death flew over Martell Village!

Since her last encounter with Vicente, she had woken up confused and without many memories of that day. When she wrote Vicente's name in her Book of Death, she was plunged into a deep darkness and an inexplicable nightmare. She then spent hours having different nightmares about things that seemed to make no sense to her.

Even on a mission to hunt down Low-level Paragons in the continent's south, she felt compelled to divert her path to this village, which now pulsated like a city, with trains arriving and departing every hour and its inhabitants happily immersed in their affairs.

As she looked at this curious place, she couldn't help but think of four shadows, especially the face of a woman with black hair and a gentle gaze.

She hadn't been able to see for most of her life, or so she remembered. Yet, strangely enough, she imagined that face as perfectly as if she had seen such a person before.

"Miss?" One of her companions interrupted her after 15 minutes of observing the village.

Cleverly, Lauren replied. "Wait here. I need to check on Vicente Fuller." She lied. Moved by a mysterious feeling, she explored the place, hoping to discover the cause of this attraction. Little did she know that this impulse would lead her straight to the Fuller estate!
