Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 539

Chapter 539 The Skull City (2)

After Vicente had saved the Flames of Life from the companions of the people at the entrance to The Skull City, he carefully followed the path ahead, a long staircase with more than 3,000 steps.

This staircase led through various parts of the ancient city that had been built on this hill, providing a view of much of this ruin, with many buildings intact but others completely destroyed.

It wasn't clear whether the destroyed buildings had been damaged by Professor Dirty Scout in his quest for revenge or by humans who had entered The Skull City in the past few millennia.

So much time had passed since the creation of The Skull City that it was difficult to say who had caused what destruction.

But soon, Vicente and Layla would realize this city could not be considered abandoned!

No living creatures lived there, but many special magical creatures were currently residing there. Among them were ghosts, liches, and zombies.

All of these creatures were the result of the powers of the curse that Paragon Professor Dirty Scout had placed on this area, a curse that could only be lifted by another magician more powerful than himself. Not even the death of such an individual could stop what had been happening in this place since its creation.

Thus, the city was full of negative beings.

Seventeen thousand years ago, this place had more than 20,000 beings who had been transformed into these three kinds of creatures by Professor Dirty Scout. In all those years, many people had gone there. Most of them perished, while only a few survived and left the place after destroying some enemies. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

However, it was much harder to destroy those three kinds of beings than it was to defeat them. As a result, the population of The Skull City has not decreased over the years, and there are currently about 24,000 dark creatures living there.

Some of these creatures had a certain amount of rationality, so when Vicente and Layla walked down the stairs of this city, they could see beings doing ordinary things, as if they were living their lives there.

However, most of the creatures acted like animals, hiding in the shadows and making grunting noises.

The zombies used their noses to track their targets, raising their heads as they turned their faces toward Vicente and Layla.

"You will search the terrain at a distance of up to 100 meters from me, moving at high speed. I should be able to help you at that distance if necessary."

"All right."

"You must remember everything you see and report to me all kinds of resources in the area, including those for Dark Path magicians. Don't forget that resources can be used as medication and poison." He emphasized not wanting to miss anything due to Layla's possible misinterpretation.

She nodded positively, understanding what she had to do, and waited for him to clear the way by using his powers against the dozens of creatures that were already very close to attacking them.

Vicente closed his mouth and demonstrated his powers to those creatures of darkness, quickly making metal weapons emerge from the ground as he pressed down on the zombies' bodies.

"Go!" He commanded Layla as he moved against the low-level liches that formed dark magic attacks against him.

Bang!

He fired one of his weapons, not hesitating to use this trump card against the many opponents in the area.

He might be strong, but the numbers weren't in his favor. So, instead of exhausting himself to fight the more than 20,000 beings in this ancient ruin, he decided to use his equipment to make his journey easier.

While he did this and overpowered the bodies of a few zombies, Layla ran at high speed through the area, searching for anything of value to them.

As soon as she did, some of the strongest negative beings in the area realized that an even bigger problem than the humans they were chasing had entered The Skull City.

'That feeling...' A peak 3rd stage ghost thought, 'Is that really a Mage? He looks like a Sovereign! How did someone like that manage to enter our realm?'

This being then moved and went in search of the strongest negative beings in the area, who rarely appeared in the past 17,000 years!
