Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

After Lauren's return from her mission to the south of the continent, she was soon in seclusion, pursuing her advancement to the 5th stage.",

At 26, she was one of the greatest prodigies of the northern region in the current generation, having earned her position after tens of thousands of deaths, but also a lot of investment by Nixlas' Shadows.

As much as they had forced her to come to this place, and brainwashed her to forget her past and become a killing machine, the sect had given her every opportunity to grow.

From magical resources to special cultivation sites, even targets for her to train her powers and stimulate her growth through challenges. The sect had made her path easier by making her the principal weapon among the organization's young generation.

Not only did Lauren hold the position of the sect's top prodigy, she was also the current heir to the sect master, whom she would replace once she became a High-level Paragon.

With the green scythe on her forehead—a very ancient symbol of death—her fate could not be any other!

As she went into seclusion, the sect master couldn't help but ask Lauren's companions how his chosen one had fared.

One of the three men who had returned with her sighed and said. "For the most of the time, everything went as expected. We dealt with the problems we had expected and carried out the missions with the same success rate as always."

The Beginner Archmage in front of those three men in a hall overlooking a cliff heard this and frowned. "What went wrong?" he asked, sensing the 'most of the time' related to problems.

"While we were heading south, we came up against a strange opponent. A man called Vicente Fuller. He was already an old acquaintance of the Miss. As far as we know, she had given him an ultimatum to join us. When he refused during our meeting in Andoria Kingdom, we acted against him, intending to avoid a future problem."

"So?" the sect master asked, not seeing how this had been a problem.

If they were there, it didn't mean that Vicente had died, or even if he had survived, that he had done nothing wrong to the group?

The man hesitated for a while, but eventually conveyed what had happened in that city in the south-central region of the continent. "We acted against him and the Miss wrote his name in the Book of Death. But he didn't die. His name was erased from her book and we all fainted afterwards."

They didn't remember such a thing. They remembered coming across Vicente, and Lauren had told them she had certainly written Vice's name in her book. From then on, they assumed what had happened, even though they didn't remember most of it.

"What?" The sect master stepped forward, clenching his fists tightly.

For something like that to happen, Vicente would have to have an even more refined, negative elemental affinity than Lauren's!

Lauren was already a monster within the universe of Dark Path magicians. Who could this strange boy be?

"What's most peculiar is that until that day, she was convinced he was a magician from the Light Path. However, even though his cultivation was on the same level as ours, he did it." Concluded the leader of the companions responsible for Miss Death's safety on the recently completed mission.

The sect master became even more serious as he sensed a monster had been born among humans.

"Investigate the name of Vicente Fuller. I want all the data on him in my hands within a maximum of six months!" He gave his order to one guard on standby in the hall.

Unfortunately for him, his group didn't know who Lauren was. To them, she was a girl they kidnapped about 12 years ago in the continent's south, and now she was the sect's heiress. As for her past, they had erased everything they could after verifying she had a common origin.

How could the sect master recognize the name Fuller today? To him, it was just a strange name that reminded him of nothing and no one.

Now he could only order Vicente Fuller's investigation, not being able to take any faster steps towards the truth because he didn't know that Vicente and Lauren were brother and sister.

As his men set off to carry out the orders of this Beginner Archmage, he couldn't help but worry about the hypothesis raised by his men.

'What could explain this strange encounter? Could this young man have fooled my disciple's senses at first?' he wondered, doubting it had happened.

It was possible for a Dark Path magician to use their powers to imitate the abilities of Light Path magicians, hiding their true nature. It wasn't easy to do, but it was possible for some elemental affinities.

However, one using such a method could never fool another Dark Path magician, especially someone as talented and sensitive as Lauren.

'Don't tell me he has two magical powers?' The Archmage swallowed his saliva in concern, having never heard of such a thing before.

'I'll communicate with the vampires. Perhaps they know something or can settle the matter with this strange young man.' He quickly approached his desk and wrote a letter.

In less than a minute, he had placed a small parchment in a special artifact, then attached it to the paw of a black-winged flying beast trained to come and go from The Ivory Desert.

...

A few days passed and today Vicente's group was close enough to the mountain where Nixlas' Shadows' headquarters stood for them to see the place.

At the sight of the gigantic castle, parts of which shrouded in black mist, Vicente stopped in front of his group, feeling thrilled to have reached this point in their journey.

A few minutes away from reaching that place, he was close to fulfilling his mission of revenge and completing all the promises he had made to himself in Saltstar City 12 to 13 years ago.

If it hadn't been for The Purification and the current calamity on the continent, his journey after today would have been more peaceful, with him being able to live without thinking about revenge and bigger goals.

But even if he still had problems to solve after today, dealing with Lauren's kidnapping would certainly remove a great deal of hurt from his heart.

'I hope you're still alive, Lauren. It took me a while, but I'm finally here!' he thought as he got moving again, leading his group towards the entrance to the enemy headquarters, where sect observers had already spotted the group approaching the enormous castle.

Vicente's companions were already aware that they had attracted attention, each of them stopping hiding as they circulated their mana to prepare for the conflict about to begin.

Their aim was to take Lauren and act brutally against their enemies before dealing with everyone in the area and then return to the south of the continent!
