Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 694 Opportunities for Growth



Chapter 694 Opportunities for Growth?

"No, we should let Onyx rest when we reach The Pure Enclave. We will find far superior cultivation opportunities there. It will be more beneficial for him to sleep. And I won't be long. I just need to consume this black liquid and return to your body. After that, I'll need about three days to meditate and assimilate all these resources," Torne said, eyeing the vessel containing roughly 8 liters of the dark fluid.",

Vicente realized this timeframe would allow Onyx just a brief nap, not enough for the crow to process the magical essence they had gained from the order's secret altar.

"You'll be completely out for three days..." Vicente murmured, his fists clenched as he acknowledged the risks but recognized the necessity. "All right. Go ahead."

With his master's approval, Torne acted swiftly, using his powers to enhance the concentration of the negative liquid—a condensation of the elements in this area—before consuming it as if it were juice.

As Torne drank, Onyx couldn't help feeling a tinge of envy, sensing the liquid might have been beneficial for him as well.

But this bird already had his own resource that could let him reach the 5th stage soon, while he stood next to Vicente and observed the surroundings.

Even though there was no one in the area but them, the negative aura was so intense that even negative beings could feel suspicious in this place.

The only one who felt nothing was Vicente. He felt the area was much more peaceful than the previous one they were in.

The stronger he became, the more he felt his connection with the Throne of Darkness becoming relevant in his life, even when he wasn't trying to use its negative powers.

It made him feel like the king of that dark domain!

While Torne drank the black liquid, Vicente looked at the many skeletons there, some of which were from magicians.

Noticing shiny metal objects on the fingers of some of them, as well as armor and weapons, he quickly made his first pentagram appear, then drawing all the metals to himself.

Eight spatial rings, 15 weapons, and 22 pieces of armor moved near Vicente and Onyx.

Undoing the bonds of these rings to their former owners, Vicente quickly counted what was there.

'Not bad.' He smiled as he sensed riches that must have come from Sky Sovereigns.

Usually, Sky Sovereigns were old people with years of experience and accumulated wealth. Even if not everyone had Vicente's opportunities, people at his level would usually have riches that could surprise him.

These rings brought a smile to his face, adding a few more tens of thousands of gold coins to the Fuller family's 'treasuries', as well as various 4th stage cultivation items and resources.

When Torne finished what he was doing, Vicente already knew how he was going to use each of them with his companions.

"Master, I will now return to your body. From now on, I will be in meditation. I won't be available to you for the next few days. But when I awaken, I'll probably already be a Low-level Paragon!" Torne said, unable to contain his excitement.

Vicente nodded at him. "Very well. Take advantage of this opportunity. We'll do great things after you advance."

"Yes!"

Vicente and Onyx were soon alone on the cliff, while Torne had already begun his ascension meditation in Vice's consciousness space.

This was a very safe space for Torne to ascend to the next stage. Even if advancing to the 5th stage could produce magical effects that could show such an event to beings in the vicinity, this would be of no concern to Vicente and the ghost.

Only Vicente himself would feel the success of Torne when he were to enter the 5th stage.

This was not something unique to Vicente and Torne. It was a reality for anyone in their situation.

Vicente and Onyx didn't hesitate to return to the surface, knowing there was no way any of their companions would realize that Torne had been the one to take advantage of this place.

As they reappeared from where they had left, their companions would make faces and sounds of surprise.

"But already? You were really fast!" Casey pointed out with a smile.

"We were lucky. There was nothing but resources on the precipice. Anyway, Onyx has already consumed what he should. Once he's slept for a few days, we can wait for him to move on to the 5th stage," Vicente warned his companions.

"Fortunately, I stumbled upon some spatial rings nearby," he threw a few of the resources he had recently gained to Lina, Sarah, and Casey.

"This is for you. Sarah and Casey, keep it for when you can use magical resources again. As for you, Lina, use it when you meditate again. It will strengthen your foundation and help you when it's time to hunt your pentagram."

The three nodded in agreement as they put away the pill bottles Vicente had given them.

"Let's get on with our hunt," he said, wasting no time in leading the group in a different direction from the one he had been following until he arrived in front of the last canyon.

Lina and Layla went back to searching for signs of creatures compatible with the beautiful gray-haired woman. Meanwhile, Vicente took care of the group's safety more than ever, now that Torne wasn't with them.

Continuing the hunt without Torne would be risky, but staying in one place wasn't a good option. Each passing day would make the continent increasingly perilous. The longer it took, the riskier the search for the cyan pentagram would become!

Vicente wanted to get the pentagram from Layla before Torne's advance. In fact, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunities in this area of the Hot Wasteland in this period. It would be ideal if they could leave the area in 3 or 4 days with Layla already with her fourth pentagram, Torne at the 5th stage, and some of them with more refined powers.

So, the group would move on with their goals, heading into that vast area near the northwestern border of the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn.

Over the next few hours, they would find more opportunities, passing by a special magical resource formed by the flames in the area, but eventually finding one of the continent's famous Magic Springs!

They would, of course, collect opportunities along the way, with Rory entering the Magic Spring compatible with him.
