Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 457 The Third Power

Chapter 457 The Third Power?

Vicente had two Magic Gems that both "lived" in the same space. If he wasn't careful in his meditation, he could accidentally absorb a pentagram compatible with one of his gems into the other, which would cause terrible problems.

Not only that but since the pentagram he was absorbing was of a higher quality than what was suitable for people of his stage, he had to go through a few phases of absorption to make sure that nothing bad would happen to him.

His current body was already much more prepared than when he had absorbed the yellow pentagram from his first gem. However, it still wasn't like a Sovereign's, which meant the green pentagram could kill him!

That was why Vicente had suffered so much in the past few hours!

However, he was no longer so fragile and was in a better condition than before. As he absorbed this essence, he had a better idea of what he needed to do and naturally acted to get the best result, something that took time.

He improved his physical abilities and increased the quality of his entire first magical form, his first two pentagrams, and his mana density. Not only that but unlike the first two pentagrams he had absorbed, this third one had something else. It had the remnant consciousness of the beast that created it!

Pentagrams from special life forms posed a greater challenge to those who attempted to absorb them. Part of the will of the magical creature before it died was lodged in its essence, leaving a challenge for its killer.

Before fully absorbing a pentagram, someone in Vicente's situation would have to conquer that remnant.

He had already gone through several phases of absorbing the green pentagram and was currently battling the remnants of the 4th-stage Hawk's consciousness.

While Nova worried about him, Vicente was in his space of consciousness where Torne was completely asleep in a cocoon, and his two Magic Gems were in their proper areas with their pentagrams.

A green pentagram over Vicente's first gem stood on it, resisting the power of Vice, which was directing it toward the Magic Gem and trying to 'bind' it to itself.

Meanwhile, the Hawk's holographic body was not far from the pentagram, attacking Vicente in a last attempt before disappearing completely and becoming this magician's ability.

"Damn human! Do you think you can absorb my powers? If it weren't for this damn magical form, I would have devoured you!" The bird screamed in frustration as it fought Vicente.

It realized the power of Vicente's second magical form. This bird wouldn't have fought with its opponent if this young man had been strong enough to control such power and defeat it alone. That was such a supreme form that it was only fair that it fell to such a person.

But since the gem's conscience had acted earlier, that bird couldn't help but feel that the result was unfair.

"I will dominate you and take this body for myself. You damned human! I will be the one with these powers from now on!" The bird shouted angrily, but still without losing its last hopes.

What it had in mind was indeed possible. A pentagram with a remnant of consciousness could defeat the magician who tried to absorb it and take control of the opponent's body.

That was very difficult to do because the defeated side, the beast, would become weaker in the form of the remnant. Even if it was at 100% of its power, that being had lost, so how could it win, weakened, and on an unfavorable site?

But it was quite possible, as long as the remnant was strong and mentally intelligent enough to do so.

Usually, Sovereigns or stronger magicians had what it took, so Vicente knew this creature wasn't just trying to scare him!

With that in mind, Vicente began to push harder on the creature, causing five large triangles to fall on the green pentagram, forcing it to connect with his first Magic Gem.

Having already overcome the five 2nd-stage triangles, he could use them all together to form the Mana Vortex, something compelling that increased the magical abilities of people like him.

As soon as the five triangles merged over the green essence, the mana in the surroundings began to move wildly, forming a massive column of mana that moved rapidly with the gem at its center.

Lighting emerged from the green pentagram, while others emerged from Vicente's orange essence and green essence, connecting the Magic Gem and then heading for the green essence.

As this happened, the Hawk's spirit hologram became weaker and more transparent, making it easier for Vicente to fight.

"Hawk, maybe you wouldn't have died if you hadn't targeted my companion. In a different situation, I would have thought twice about challenging a beast that would demand so much of me." Vicente said as he felt his powers increase.

At the same time, he became faster and stronger, striking harder and harder at the creature.

His two weaker pentagrams grew in size, gaining new inscriptions around them, while his gem grew in volume.

As the green pentagram gradually positioned itself in the empty space there for the moment, the yellow pentagram with green inscriptions around it pulsed like a heart.

The moment the Hawk stopped shouting angrily in Vicente's direction, that green essence solidified into Vice's first gem, beginning the young man's evolution.

His entire body, muscles, bones, ligaments, and nerves, in short, everything reached its peak, while his second essence also qualitatively changed, transformed itself, and finally reached the next level.

Vicente vibrated with happiness, intoxicated by the feeling of power in his being.

In the blink of an eye, his mana increased by 10%, bringing him to the end of the first level of a Mage's power!

As long as he cultivated for a few more days, he would become a Mid-level Mage!

Nova watched all of this from outside of Vicente's consciousness, having spent nearly 14 hours observing this man's evolutionary process.

When he opened his eyes and stood up, three pentagrams appeared around him, one orange and two green, something shocking!

Feeling and seeing this, Nova couldn't help but laugh, imagining how mighty Vicente/Cesar would be after this day.

"Congratulations on successfully absorbing your third magical essence, Vicente. You must now be the strongest inhabitant of Scott Province." She opened her mouth as she watched him contemplate the feeling the pentagram gave him.

The special power of his new pentagram was indeed mental, just as Newton had predicted.
