Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 686 Hunt Plan



Chapter 686 Hunt Plan

While events that would change the continent's history forever were unfolding at the hands of Damien Bloodthorne, several weeks had passed since Vicente and his party passed through the capital of the Kingdom of Aldoria.

In those weeks, they encountered more beasts along the way. But the beasts weren't as chaotic as some of their opponents had been between their passage through Chutha Dynastia and the Kingdom of Aldoria.

The Seven-Day Tsunami was over. And even though the magical beings would continue to be affected by the phenomenon for some time after those days, their strength and restlessness diminished with each passing day.

Weeks after The Seven-Day Tsunami, all the magical beings on the continent had returned to normal.

There were still many magical creatures, especially monsters, in the south of the continent. They wanted to stay away from the northern region in the short term, even though they were no longer so worried about the effects of The Seven-Day Tsunami.

Therefore, instead of encountering fewer of these creatures, Vicente encountered more and more groups of monsters on his journey north.

His group had fought ten times in the Kingdom of Aldoria, but with Lina's innate foresight, they had faced each enemy with relative peace of mind.

Even though they had encountered groups composed mostly of late 4th stage creatures, they had successfully eliminated the problems in their path until they reached the border between the Kingdom of Aldoria and the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn.

After crossing the border between the two kingdoms without a hitch, the group was finally on its way to the area of its first hunt.

...

According to the information Vicente had received from the Seidel family, there were two places in the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn where his group could hunt for pentagrams and cultivation opportunities.

The first was Crystal Creek Falls, a mountainous region full of waterfalls and rivers in the central part of the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn. The second was on the northwestern border of that state, a place called the Hot Wasteland.

The Hot Wasteland was an area of great interest to Layla, as it was the natural home of the Arcane Falcons, the fastest race on the continent. A member of this race at the 1st stage of cultivation could fly at a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour. But a peak 4th or early 5th stage being, like the one Layla had to hunt, could fly up to 25 times faster!

In addition to being the natural habitat of Layla's target, the Hot Wasteland also provided cultivation opportunities for magical creatures of the Dark Path. At one end of this area was an interesting place for negative beings, where Vicente wanted to go to collect opportunities for Onyx and Torne.

After the Hot Wasteland, the group wanted to cross the border from the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn to the Hungry Canyon, a high-level domain in the center-north of the continent, where Torne said it would be interesting for the group to hunt for Lina's pentagram and search for resources in the area.

According to the ghost, there were many ruins of great organizations of the past in this area, where they might be able to find artifacts and resources of value even to Paragons.

The group's penultimate stop would be the Pure Enclave, where, according to Lina's family, there were cultivation opportunities for those with Vicente, Sarah, and Rory's elemental affinities. There, they planned to hunt the pentagrams of the latter two and cultivate for a while before moving on to hunt Vicente's pentagram.

As for Vicente's hunting ground, the Seidel family had recommended that he hunt his pentagram in the Pure Enclave, but Torne didn't think Vice would have any luck finding a cyan pentagram in that area. He had recommended that his master go to one of the states in the northern region of the continent, where they would surely find 6th-stage magical creatures.

Anyway, the journey to Vicente's pentagram could take months, so the group focused on just reaching Crystal Creek Falls, which they could reach in another 10 days' journey.

But Casey was already preparing for his hunt for Borbormyst, a type of magical butterfly whose powers were particularly compatible with his own. Members of this race were known for their illusionary abilities as well as their mental strength.

For someone with a mental ability, a pentagram coming from a member of such a race would make a lot of sense to Casey.

Borbormyst wasn't particularly powerful physically, but its members were powerful mentally. Casey's battle would be through his mental powers.

By stopping to meditate today in the middle of the area his group was passing through, Casey was simulating what his battle with the being he would soon be hunting would be like.

While he was doing this, he was sweating like he was in a sauna, with most of his group distracted from him but with Vicente and Lina watching him.

She commented to Vicente. "What do you think of Casey's hunt? I've been sensing something strange with each passing day."

"What do you mean?" Vicente asked in a worried tone.

Lina explained. "I think something bad is about to happen. My ability isn't that precise when it comes to things far in the future. So sometimes I just get a feeling.

For the last six days, I've been feeling a bad feeling growing inside of me. I have a feeling that we will be in mortal danger before or shortly after the hunt for Casey's pentagram."

"Can you give me more details?" Vicente turned serious, having already been helped by Lina's abilities a few times on this journey.

"Not yet. But when we go hunting for his pentagram, I'll have a better chance to understand the danger behind this feeling."

"All right. Keep an eye on it for me." Vicente commented before answering her. "But this feeling of yours is probably normal. We're getting further and further north of the continent, and the purification must already be showing its results.

I expected to face mortal dangers on our journey. But I'll try to be more vigilant from now on."

"Hmm, I'll do the same." She said before turning her attention to the surroundings.

Vicente, on the other hand, soon closed his eyes and meditated to regain his energy and further improve his elemental affinity. He was already at the absolute peak of the 4th stage. All he needed to reach the 5th stage was understanding.

He could achieve this through meditation, special resources, or his next pentagram!

Meanwhile, his first pentagram was beginning to show green lines on itself, while the second pentagram hadn't changed that much.

Even though his first pentagram had evolved more often, it was natural for it to grow faster at first because it was of lower quality at first. But as it became more compatible with Vicente's other pentagrams, its rate of evolution would slow down.

Vicente and his group would stay there for a day until the next day when they would move on to Casey's area of interest, where they would arrive after a little over a week of travel!
