Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 445 Time to Part

Chapter 445 Time to Part

When Snow Claw attacked the 10 soldiers chasing the group, he showed everyone why the Sovereigns were necessary to arrest him.

As soon as a fraction of his mana giant formed and charged at the soldiers, the chasing soldiers felt goosebumps on their bodies as they sensed the worst.

The hand of that arm closed before striking at them, moving so fast that the sound of air being displaced arose amidst the nervousness of the soldiers in the path of the fist.

"Shit!"

A soldier materialized a mana shield in front of him to defend himself, but the moment Snow Claw's fist hit him, it immediately cracked as the fist threw the soldier away.

After overcoming the man's defense, Snow Claw's fist struck the opponent's body, hitting him with such force that the sound of breaking bones came from the soldier as his armor crumpled.

Vuup!

Only the sound of his body flying could be heard until he crashed into one of the tunnel walls, already unconscious from the force of the blow.

Meanwhile, those who had tried to dodge this attack had failed, making themselves easier targets for the other refugees to attack.

"Sticky world!" One of the three men helped by Vicente and Sarah shouted as he gestured with his hands. His magical form turned the surroundings of the tunnel between them and their enemies into light brown mud, a very sticky substance.

Meanwhile, the man with a diamond magical form focused his strength on attacking his enemies with shots that could melt the rocks in the tunnel.

When he reached the first of his enemies from the beginning of the battle, this man saw his target had the base of his right arm melted down to just bone in that area of his body.

"Aaaaaaagh!"

The soldier screamed in agony as his comrades tried to fend off the criminals, attacking but worrying about their own defenses.

While Vicente led the way with Sarah and Avan, watching out for the beasts and plants that tried to impede their escape, the four High-level Mages in their party were enough to keep the opponents occupied.

Snow Claw alone could fight off the entire group on a good day. But amid this escape, he was still able to deal with three or four of them with ease.

Having already taken down two individuals at this point in the escape, Jonah greatly facilitated the escape of the group, but also the outcome of his three fellow prisoners who had escaped with him.

These three men weren't easy either, and each could easily handle one of the soldiers alone.

In the blink of an eye, only five soldiers were chasing them!

However, as they got farther and farther away from the Long Bay Correctional Facility, the soldiers slowed down, giving the fugitives more space while continuing to chase them from farther and farther away.

"Let's just follow them! Reinforcements will be arriving in our area soon. If we keep an eye on them, we can eventually take them down." One of the remaining soldiers suggested as the magical forms on either side of this escape vanished.

"If we keep fighting, we won't get anywhere. Unfortunately, the enemies have prepared well and are very strong together." Another soldier agreed as he took care of some of the wounds he had received so far.

If it were just Snow Claw, they would have a chance to stop Vicente's group from escaping, at least for a while. They would probably die but delay their opponents and buy time for their reinforcements. However, these soldiers couldn't do much against four extremely strong fugitives for their level.

Having already lost half of their group, they made the only decision they could to preserve their lives and protect the army's pursuit.

While they continued to follow the underground tunnel from a distance, Vicente's group was further ahead, with the four High-level Mages more focused on clearing the way now that the soldiers had moved away from them.

Snow Claw took the lead, using his magical form and the body parts of his mana giant to make his way through this most densely populated part of the tunnel.

Several giant insects, ranging from spiders, scorpions, and snake lice to earthworms, carnivorous plants, and fungi, stood in the group's way.

Most of them were limited to the 2nd stage. Yet, some organisms native to this tunnel were Mages with characteristics that were hard to ignore.

But with Snow Claw crushing almost everyone in its path, the group's situation improved significantly, and little by little, Vicente could feel that they were close to escaping this tunnel.

'It looks like you'll be able to separate successfully, master.' Torne told him, feeling they were close to an exit on the surface. 

Vicente agreed as he continued to focus on the road ahead.

He looked at Sarah and Evan and saw Nico on the back of this soldier of the empire. He said. "Evan, I know you want to escape. Don't worry, I won't stop you. You're just as committed as we are now, so it makes no difference if I deal with you."

Evan clenched his fists as he looked at the face that resembled Oscar's. Vicente and Sarah had shown their true faces only to the Sovereign days ago. After their brief interviews, the two returned to using their devices to hide their real identities.

As a result, Evan didn't know Vicente's true appearance!

Vicente ignored Evan's look and said to Sarah. "As for you, I want you to bring Nico to my group. After that, you're free to go your own way."

Sarah looked at Vicente silently but nodded in agreement.

"When we leave this tunnel, we should split up. Those soldiers will try to chase us, and there should be reinforcements in the area we're in. It would be better for everyone if we went our separate ways without worrying about each other. Suppose any of you have something to settle between yourselves, leave it for when we don't have soldiers following us.

The four agreed again while Snow Claw looked at Vicente with interest, curious to know why this young man had saved him and who he represented.

He asked. "Are you going to tell me where you come from or what this is all about? I can't believe you're my fan, and you did what you did for no reason."

Vicente looked into Snow Claw's purple eyes and said. "You're right. The group of people I represent can benefit from the things you'll do when you're released, which is why we acted to save you, Senior Jonah. But that's all. As long as you do what you want, we benefit. As for my group, maybe we'll have a chance to get to know each other in the future."

"Oh?" Jonah didn't see a problem with that. He easily understood that Vicente's group wanted a bit of chaos in the province.

"Very well. If we meet in the future, show me this. I'll remember you." Snow Claw gave Vicente a medallion with the symbol of a humanoid shadow.

Soon, they reached the end of the tunnel. From there, Vicente would have to work to open a way out.
