Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

715 The Only Way Out!

When Vicente's lightning giant attacked the giant creature in front of him, the sound of thunder in the area became so loud that creatures up to a few dozen kilometers away realized what was happening.

The mana in the area suddenly changed, becoming sharp and electrifying to the point that anyone who got too close to the Behemoth and Vicente would be electrocuted.

But amid Vicente's ferocious attack, fueled by the storm created by the fusion of his powers with Rory's but half a dozen of his spells, the Behemoth did nothing. It stood there, watching the situation, ready to let its opponent do his best before it finished him.

Hundreds of blades reached its body, but when they touched its scales, it made the blades shattered as if it made them of plastic, not even scratching the creature.

The pressure generated by the electromagnetic field manipulated by Vicente and his robotic armor didn't even suppress the creature by 0.5%.

It was so big and powerful that not even the many earth golems Vicente had created had managed to pin its four legs to the ground, as if some invisible magical force was protecting this massive body.

The lightning giant reached its opponent's head, but the moment the giant hammer of metal and lightning touched the Behemoth's horns, it exploded as if it were made of paper.

Vicente even tried to attack the creature's mind, but when he looked into its giant eyes, all he saw was indifference, with a small trace of curiosity.

To the Behemoth, he was nothing more than a pesky fly trying to attack the great mountain!

Even though Torne used all of his mana to support Vicente, and Onyx used his darkness to attack it, they had no success. After unleashing the most powerful blows they had in their repertoires, they couldn't even make a scratch.

Amidst the chaos and the shocked expressions of his companions, Vicente witnessed the creature rise from its crouched position, using all four limbs, until it stood at its full height, resembling a human.

Vicente's mouth dropped open in shock as he turned pale, his eyes widening at the sight of a colossal figure towering over him like a massive building, wearing a mischievous smile.

"You're not so bad. If you were a Paragon, you might give me an interesting challenge," the Behemoth said as it raised its arms, intending to attack Vicente and Onyx with a single blow.

"But that's the end of the line for you, young magician. Be less greedy in your next life."

Under the horrified gaze of their companions, Vicente and Onyx were attacked by the creature's fists, which descended upon them so quickly that the dark clouds in the area, caused by the fusion of Vice and Rory's powers, vanished in a second.

The lightning and mana in the area changed, both falling under the Behemoth's control, while thunder covered the creature's movement, cutting through the air for a moment as it came closer and closer to them.

Black lightning formed in the sky, descending in the same direction as the Behemoth's attack, while Vicente saw that even if he used his Throne of Darkness, he couldn't change the fate of this battle.

The only alternative in front of him, shown by Lina's vision and shared by Casey, was for Vicente to advance his cultivation there and now!

'I have no choice. I have to take my chances or die at the hands of the monster!' Vicente thought to himself as Torne and Onyx felt the terror of death closing in on them.

Then, while being attacked, Vicente closed his eyes, sat in a lotus position in the air, and consumed a pill.

A throne of darkness formed around him, embracing his body while a cloak of darkness covered his clothes, transforming him into the monarch of darkness.

Just as the Behemoth's attack was about to crush Vicente and Onyx, the throne grew and blocked the creature's two fists.

Time seemed to crawl for everyone involved, as they were both awed by the Behemoth's immense power and disturbed by Vicente's overwhelming negative 5th stage aura.

He advanced to the beginning of the 5th stage, increasing his magical aura by almost 100%, while all his senses were heightened, with the mana in the area quickly entering his body.

The Behemoth's eyes narrowed as it sensed the risky step its opponent had just taken, as it stepped back and quickly separated its fists from the Throne of Darkness.

The throne did not surprise the creature. However, it hadn't expected Vicente's advance, let alone the trail of darkness now in its two fists.

"You wretch! I'll kill you!" It screamed as it felt a numbness in both of its fists where darkness had seeped into its body.

Vicente was harmless to it as long as he was a Sovereign. But the moment he qualitatively advanced to the 5th stage, his first pentagram qualitatively advanced, leaving the yellow grade and reaching the green one!

The second pentagram became more cyan than green, a sign that it wouldn't be long before this essence would complete its transition.

But most importantly, at that moment, the yellow pentagram of the Throne of Darkness became more green than yellow, demonstrating its proximity to evolution!

Everything about Vicente's powers changed, as he ceased to be harmless to the Behemoth and became an enemy capable of injuring and killing this newly strengthened Archmage.

Vicente's Throne of Darkness wasn't just based on the element of darkness. It was the sovereign magical form of the Dark Path, so Vicente had an affinity for all negative elements!

In particular, his darkness was poisonous, capable of corrupting both body and soul.

The Behemoth felt this on its skin as it noticed a significant loss of strength in its hands, from where it couldn't cut the trail of darkness Vicente had left.

Still, the creature was too powerful to fall against Vicente just because of this level increase!

Immediately upon realizing the enemy's transformation, the creature grew more focused, adeptly manipulating the forces of earth and lightning in the vicinity, assuming a combat stance reminiscent of the narrow 100-meter earth corridors.

With all the power of its colossal body and the lightning in this stormy area, the creature fired at Vicente and Onyx like a bull trying to pierce its target with its horns.

Vicente acted, fully controlling the Throne of Darkness for the first time, while the gem on his forehead glowed a strong, vibrant cyan.

Shadow Suppression!
