Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

The moment they were asked to turn around and head away from the city, the group stopped moving forward, each of them watching the Sovereign floating in front of the watchtower in front of the city entrance.",

Vicente looked at the gray-haired, tired-looking man with many wrinkles on his face and a scar on one of his arms, wondering what to say.

Lauren murmured to him. "I heard that a group from my sect acted in this area and had a lot of problems carrying out their mission. But they succeeded in the end."

'So that's it.' Vicente looked at his sister, seeing yet another problem that the sect that had kidnapped her had left for him to solve.

"I understand that you're wary of strangers. You're right to fear people and groups like mine. Some of the Dark Path magicians on the continent have betrayed the magician's community and are allied with the vampires.

However, my group and I have nothing to do with vampires. I know you won't believe me and let me go into the city ahead of you for good, so I'm sorry, but I'll have to do it."

"Do what?" Sky Sovereign prepared to fight, ready to give the signal for his warriors in position to fire the cannons on the outskirts of the mountain towards Vicente's group.

Suddenly, Vicente's five pentagrams emerged from inside his body, one by one showing the power of this young man capable of manipulating mana throughout the area.

Vicente's powers terribly frightened the local warriors, seeing the magician-shaped monster that would probably attack them today.

Vicente deactivated all the weapons in the area, immobilizing the strongest warriors with a simple narrowing of his eyes, making everyone there look at him with even more horror.

"I will not hurt you, but I'm going to enter this city whether or not you like it," Vicente said calmly, his voice echoing with the sped up heartbeats of each of Stormhold's magicians.

Vicente wasn't a hero. He wasn't there to save these people, but to give them methods of preventing the plans of the monsters and vampires from developing. This would benefit the community in the area, but that was a secondary consequence of his plans. His aim was to defend his prime territory and, in particular, the safety of his younger sister.

If these people wanted his help didn't matter in the slightest. They were going to do what he wanted and fight on his behalf, whether or not they liked it!

"Now I'm going to let you go, but don't even think about standing in my way or attacking us. Don't think I wouldn't kill you if you crossed the line."

With those words, Vicente retracted his hand and pointed forward as he felt each of those people's lives. He retracted his pentagrams, leaving the warriors' bodies free again, the mana in the area returning to normal.

But all those warriors remained motionless, too terrified to move or even express their racing thoughts.

All they could do was think about how strong that black-haired young man was. He seemed to be even more capable than the High-level Paragon behind the Trevora Kingdom survivors!

A minute and a half in deep shock, the leader of the guards in the area flew after Vicente's group alone, giving orders for his men to stay in position in that border area.

He caught up with Vicente's group when they had just landed on the main avenue of the city and started their way to the center of Stormhold.

"Seniors, what is your real purpose?" He walked alongside the group, showing no ill intent, but full of doubts in his heart.

Rory looked at this fellow, seeing the deep and true horror in this person's eyes. He lamented the miserable reality of this person, which was probably the reality of many inhabitants of Trevora Kingdom.

The red-haired young man said sympathetically. "Warrior of Trevora Kingdom, we are not here to act against your forces. We've just come from the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn. It has fallen to the monsters, with the royal family exterminated, its Paragons dead.

We've been working for the last few weeks to rally the survivors in the area's now independent cities to raise a resistance against the monsters.

We finished our objectives there and came here to do the same."

"Create a resistance in our kingdom?" The Sovereign asked as he forced a smile onto his face. "Then there's no need. His Royal Majesty's forces have put up a resistance to the monsters in the Green Hills. For three months now, the monsters have been unable to advance into our territory."

"That sounds good." Layla said with an honest smile on her face.

"We're going to do what we came here to do, warrior." Lina said on behalf of her group. She fully agreed with Vicente's plans.

If the forces in this central part of the continent weren't as strong as possible to stop the advance of the monsters, there wouldn't be any safe areas left on the continent where magicians could live minimally well.

It wasn't a problem that land outside cities was dangerous for low-level magicians, and even a powerful magician had to avoid certain areas. For millennia, the continent had been like that. The problem was that even powerful magicians couldn't leave their cities, that trade was impossible, and all the problems that would come from the society being restricted to its cities.

The obvious trend for the community, if it were restricted entirely to the cities, was that in the future it would be more difficult to reach high levels, given the lack of resources, the population would fall even further, given the lack of food in some places and, ultimately, reversing the current crisis would be practically impossible.

If they wanted to stand a chance of defeating the vampires, the current community could not allow the entire continent to fall under vampire control!

Vicente thought that victory against the vampires depended on their current actions, so there was no way he could allow this remaining society of Trevora Kingdom to go it alone.

"Unless your state has an Archmage willing to stop me, I'm afraid you're now under my command.Complain amongst yourselves if you like, but I'm going to do what I came here to do. Now take me to your leaders. We have a lot to talk about."
