Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1008  Target Found

Two days later, after a few more misses, the group was near yet another powerful beast with the potential to offer Vicente's first indigo pentagram in Light Cay.

At this point, his group was hiding in rocks near a river, while he was assessing the situation of the beast they had been tracking for the last few hours.

Arriving near the creature lying on one bank of the river ahead, in the middle part of Fallsor Bluff, Vicente opened his eyes wide as he felt the sensation coming from that being of 9-Star Magus cultivation.

'I've finally done it!' He clenched his fists as he faced the creature with its back to him, a kind of snake with light blue scales and a body as big as a tree trunk.

But Vicente didn't act promptly against the creature. He looked toward his group and gave a thumbs-up sign, showing that he had found what he wanted.

As soon as they understood Vicente's signal, two magicians stepped forward to help him, while Rex and Larissa stood guard to protect the other group members.

The Formation Master and the Beast Tamer stopped next to Vicente, both making use of the shadows controlled by their companion to move without attracting the enemy's attention.

'You must act against it by surprise, Vicente. This kind of beast has great senses and a powerful body. If you let it perceive you, it will stiffen its scales to the point that even you will have difficulty hurting it. If it realizes that you can kill it, it may even run away, given its unusual speed.

Attack it to wound it first so that it can't run away and is left with a vulnerability. After that, the fight should be brutal, but your chances will be good.'

After listening to the group's Beast Tamer, Vicente listened to the Formation Master. 'I'm going to activate one of my concealment formations to shuffle the mana on the area and camouflage the start of your movement. Your shadows won't be able to hide you when you act, but my formation will give you a few seconds.

Following that, I'll use something to disturb your opponent's mind. That should be enough for you to launch your first attack. From then on, it will be entirely up to you to deal with it.'

Vicente thanked them both, and then saw the Beast Tamer standing next to the group's Formation Master, helping the man how to act against the snake ahead. He waited for their signal and when they were ready a few moments later, he moved towards his goal.

He circulated the mana through his body and prepared his attack, creating a curved blade with the metals around his body, while covering it with darkness.

He could use light if he wanted to, but as it was night at the moment, his powers of darkness would be stronger than ever.

Once he was ready, he manipulated the space in the area, making his way towards the enemy resting on the riverbank.

The concealment formation helped him at first, as he appeared closer to the blue snake, already manipulating the creature's body to weaken it for his attack.

At the same time, the mental disturbance formation made the creature see a subtly distinct reality, as Vicente unleashed his attack against the enormous snake's head.

Sparks of electricity formed in the air between him and the enemy, while a glow emerged from the snake's eyes, followed by a lunge at the last moment before his weapon contacted its head.

Vicente watched his opponent move as poisonous mana flowed from the creature's inoculating teeth when he finally reached it.

Even though it had moved in the last instant, the creature was not at its best. It dodged an attack on its head, but when Vicente's curved weapon hit it, it left a cut a meter long and 20 centimeters deep down the length of its body.

Vicente sensed his subtle mistake and the creature's counterattack. He promptly raised his arms in front of his body, while making the ground beneath the creature create earthen hands to immobilize it. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

These earthen hands only hindered the snake's movement, as it destroyed the obstacles in its path to strike Vicente's body with the tip of its tail.

Vicente felt a powerful blow on his right flank, for a moment almost losing his balance and falling, as he slid 6 meters towards the river.

The creature slid towards the stream, planning to take the enemy and this battle to its most interesting habitat, the river.

But as it moved, a surreal pressure came over its body, with the shadows of the night eating away at its scaly body. It instinctively tried to back away, feeling its life under threat.

Then a giant bolt of lightning formed behind Vicente, illuminating the night as he attacked it with a black trident.

Simultaneously, a storm formed in the surroundings, attracting strong winds, while the sound of lightning filled the air.

Vicente's companions watched open-mouthed as he fought in earnest for the first time they could remember, with Rex watching his master in awe, proud to serve such a magician.

Unlike Rex, the snake that Vicente was facing now really deserved all of Vicente's power!

Just as the giant was about to reach the snake, the creature saw it wouldn't stand a chance if it didn't use everything it had. As it rose in front of the enemy, it made its body glow as it grew larger, also attracting lightning from the surrounding area, while its body vibrated strangely.

Instead of acting against Vicente's attack, its eyes turned towards the enemy, who was controlling those frightening powers for a 3-Star Magus to control.

Vicente had advanced in level over the last few days and was now a 3-Star Magus!

Because of this advancement, he felt confident when he saw the creature moving towards him, demonstrating the special movement and attack skills that only its race of snakes had.

He made a spatial distortion appear in front of him, while concentrating his power of molecular manipulation to act on that area, transforming his neighborhoods into something capable of destroying anything that came against him.

"One of us is going to die. But it won't be me!" he said as he shouted at the extremely fast creature.

As soon as his voice ended, his and his opponent's powers collided!
