Chapter 720 Vicente's 5th Essence

??Vicente made a deal with the 5th stage peak werewolf, guaranteeing neither side would harm the other before or after the hunt for the entity behind the second cyan pentagram Vicente would hunt on this mission.

With the agreement in place, the werewolf stopped withholding information. "You were lucky to find me, young magician. I have the location of a naturally formed cyan pentagram!

As long as you're able to absorb it, you'll have your next power in a few hours."

Everyone in Vicente's group widened their eyes, imagining how valuable this pentagram would be.

Pentagrams, even of the lowest quality, were precious when formed naturally. After all, as long as the magician who absorbed it continued to grow stronger, the pentagram would strengthen endlessly.

Even a naturally formed pentagram of lesser quality was precious to powerful magicians, because it was only a matter of time before it would evolve.

However, this was already a cyan pentagram, something that was at the peak of the continent!

If information about such a thing were to leak out, and there were still magicians strong enough to hunt down it, Vicente would probably face tough competition.

But under the current circumstances of the Polaris Realm, Vicente might be the only one with the ability to absorb cyan pentagrams in the region!

"Where is it?" Vicente felt his blood heat while his heart pumped more blood through his body, increasing his physical condition even without him trying.

"It is not far. The pentagram is near my cultivation site, a two-hour journey in that direction." The werewolf pointed to the northwest, where this essence had appeared days ago.

Personally, it knew of no history of a natural cyan grade pentagram appearing on the continent before such an essence. But considering the terrible things that had happened since Demien Bloodthorne's advance, nothing would surprise this creature.

Right after it told them where to go, they set off with the werewolf at the head of the group, escorting them to a cave where the essence was.

On the way there, Vicente's companions couldn't help but think how 'pointless' the previous battle had been. It would have been much better for all of them if Vicente had first absorbed the pentagram and then gone after the Behemoth.

Hell, some of them had almost died in the earlier battle!

Fortunately, they had survived and were now stronger than ever, not only because of Vicente's new pentagram, but also because their magical situations were on the brink of further progress.

Aside from Rory, Layla and Lina, the other two magicians could advance in the next few hours or days!

As long as they had time to meditate, reaching the level of Sky Sovereigns was within their reach.

Some of them were looking forward not only to the possibility of Vicente actually becoming a Paragon—someone with 5 pentagrams—but also to the possibility of advancing amid his absorption of his 5th pentagram.

They continued on through the Valley of Lightning, encountering no problems as most of the beings there were interested in their own opportunities.

Many Paragons were devouring and fighting over important parts of the 6th-stage Behemoth's body, while other 6th-stage beings were in their secluded areas, unconcerned about the general situation in the valley.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the group led by the werewolf arrived at the area where this creature had discovered a pentagram formed by the natural phenomena of the area.

It had cleverly hidden the pentagram with special magic crystals, knowing how valuable they were to magicians. It would never let a magician take it without first making a deal with it!

When they arrived at the cave, they didn't find any other magical beings trying to keep the pentagram in their possession. All that was there were the barriers the werewolf itself had created, which it quickly tore down to allow the group access to the essence.

When he encountered the cyan essence floating in that deep and dark cave, Vicente couldn't help but smile, feeling he had a very strong compatibility with this essence.

"You were right. It and I are compatible," Vicente murmured as he approached the cyan pentagram floating in the air, waiting for an owner.

Torne was already in Vicente's mind space, having gone there because it was the best place for him to recover from the previous battle amidst the movement of his master's group.

'Congratulations, master. Your fifth essence is now within reach. With it, you will become a true continental level expert!' Torne said emotionally, having seen Vicente's entire growth from the 2nd to the 5th stage.

Onyx couldn't help but cheer for his master, who might soon be able to defend himself against vampires on his own level!

The werewolf said. "Go ahead. Take your time. I'll wait for you outside. By the way, it would be interesting for the rest of you to meditate in the meantime. If any of you manage to raise your level, the hunt for the monster we're about to face will be easier and safer."

After the werewolf's words, it left and Vicente sat down, beginning to absorb his 5th magical essence.

Onyx positioned himself to watch over the area, giving the magicians space to meditate as the werewolf had recommended.

Within less than ten minutes of the group's arrival at the cave, all but Onyx had closed their eyes and were sitting in lotus positions, surrounded by mana and compatible elements.

Vicente felt his fifth essence gradually enter his space of consciousness and noticed it was even easier to absorb this pentagram than it had been earlier with the essence of the Behemoth.

Not only was there no will in this pentagram, but he already had a cyan essence, and his physical and mental capacities were far above what one would need to absorb something of that quality.

His Soul Avatar moved, 'pulling' the new pentagram into the position of the fifth essence of that magical form, quickly connecting that pentagram to the others.

The first pentagram changed, gaining cyan lines and symbols around itself, while the second pentagram completed its transition, losing the last green traces of itself.

Amid this, the structural quality of Vicente's body changed again, gaining more elements to further his control over his own powers.

Pentagrams brought stability to the magical foundation. With one more of them in his first power, Vicente further solidified his already solid foundation, reaching an enviable level that even Archmages didn't have.

Amid Vicente's physical and mental changes, he noticed his elements differently, as he felt his powers reach such a level that he could even feel the electrons and protons of the surrounding atoms.

His fifth power was atomic manipulation. As for his many abilities, Vicente was about to find out!
