Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

What the lamia had just said was true. Her nature could be cruel and difficult to deal with. But she would actually have a very good chance if she was loyal to the Fuller family and tried to help them prosper.

Besides the fact that an agreement with Vicente would force her to follow certain rules, her safety and continuity could be guaranteed if the province didn't fall into the chaos that the whole continent would soon be in.

Considering that she would only be a High-level Mage for the time being, Vicente decided to give her this chance by adding another magical creature to his family.

He summoned the three lamia bodies he had collected and told her to choose one to possess.

She quickly chose the one who most resembled her. Soon, she possessed the body of a full-breasted blonde woman and did not hesitate to begin the process of integrating her soul into that body.

The process was not as complex as one might think. Lamia bodies could remain without life signs for a long time and still be able to recover and come back to life. The body could come back to life as long as the lamia's soul was okay.

The moment her soul entered the body, it quickly erased the traces of the soul that had previously inhabited it and soon began to integrate with it.

This process would take a total of 20 minutes from beginning to end. Vicente and Torne observed her as she mastered the body, gradually showing signs of what was happening.

After a few minutes, the corpse took on color as the blood began to circulate through its veins, while the monstrous aspects of some parts of the corpse disappeared, giving the woman an incredible appearance.

If an ordinary, ignorant man were to see her as she was now, naked and beautiful, he would quickly feel his blood heating up and his animal parts awakening.

But Vicente knew exactly what this creature was capable of. When Prisiche opened her eyes, he moved his gauntlet and made her feel a gigantic pressure that immobilized her.

Then he grabbed her by the throat and squeezed it. "Prisiche, from now on, you are my slave. Don't dare to go against my plans. Never betray my family. And protect Nina at all costs. If you follow these orders, we'll have a good time together."

She said nothing as she turned pale and tried to get him to stop squeezing her neck.

Vicente didn't even move in response to her gestures. As she shivered and felt the power of this man, now much stronger than when they first met, his three pentagrams moved and quickly marked her.

As she felt the mark of Vicente's slavery, Prisiche felt new priorities in her life. She didn't just want to survive; now, her will was Vicente's will, and she would do what was best for him.

She knew it was the mark of slavery and that it would change when she grew faster than him and became stronger than Vicente. But until that happened, she couldn't go against his wishes herself.

"I'll do my best, master." She said with great effort.

He released her after he had finished marking her. "From now on, you are a member of the Fuller family. Don't tell anyone about your race. I want you to pretend to be human.

Use your natural powers only when you have no choice. I'll let some of my men know what you are in case you need to use your powers. That will prevent them from thinking you're an infiltrator into my group.

In any case, your job will be to help the family deal with the monsters and ensure the safety of the province and my sister.

I'll give you a few days to get used to this body and prepare yourself. Then, I'll send you to Metal City to work with the family's men on the province's border."

She nodded, showing that she understood what had to be done.

"Do not go against people unless they intend to harm Nina or my family. If you make trouble for me because of where you come from..." Vicente was about to say before he stopped halfway.

But Prisiche felt something different this time. Already connected to Vicente, she sensed something darker in this young magician than she had known before.

It was extremely frightening, something she had never felt, even from the few vampires she had met so far.

"I won't get involved with anyone unless I have no choice." She told him.

"Good. Then I'll let you train here alone. I'll tell my men not to come here for the next two hours. Use that time to get to know your new body better."

With that, Vicente left Prisiche behind to take care of other things.

Nina would finish her studies at the Royal Academy of Saltstar City in three months. After that, she would travel to the kingdom's capital for her awakening and begin her studies at the Seidel Magical College.

By then, the Saltstar City & Grandis train line should be ready, but until then, Vicente had a lot of business to take care of in the province.

Not only would he be leaving this place for a long time, but some of the people he trusted the most would be going with him. So he had to prepare his family, help more of his men reach the 4th stage, and so on.

Fortunately, his projects had developed very well so far and should be at a great level by the time he left.

Metal City, for example, had reached a population of 25,000, and from what he had heard recently, the population was growing by 1,000 every 6 days.

A month ago, the population grew by 1,000 every 11 days, so he expected the city to be close to 50,000 by the time he left.

Meanwhile, the province's train lines had reached every city with more than 50,000 people and were already carrying more than 60% of the resources and people that needed to move around the province.

That was all well and good, but he needed reliable and powerful men to ensure the best use of all this and to protect this territory while he and the family leaders were out hunting pentagrams.

...

A few days later, news of large groups of monsters entering the province and being exterminated was already circulating in Vicente's territory.

In the midst of this, Nova and a group of soldiers and men from the Fuller family finally entered Saltstar City after months away from this place to hunt this woman's fourth pentagram.

They had succeeded in their plans, and now Nova was a Sovereign with 4 pentagrams!

'I am finally back.' She smiled as she walked down the city's first street, breaking away from her group to go to Vicente's house.
