Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 909

909 Beginning of Seclusion

Tenglin looked at the large Roc for a moment, then agreed. "It makes sense. Once they acted here and were forced to flee, they wouldn't have been able to enter this area without at least one vampire with Intermediate Archmage cultivation."

Someone with the cultivation of this race must be as strong as the human Archmages who have passed through this city in its long history.

Vicente worried about this and looked at Tenglin seriously. "Demien Bloodthorne will be an intermediate Archmage at my first meeting with him. The Divine Dragon Matrix showed me our meeting when I should be a High-level Paragon with nine pentagrams.

Vicente's four companions were silent for a moment, obviously worried. Demien might awaken in the next few months. Vicente was already at the peak of the 5th stage, so this place might not last much longer!

"That's worrying," Tenglin began, "but let's not despair. The future you saw will not happen as you saw it. You don't have nine pentagrams, and you might get to the 6th stage before Demien awakens. Even if what you saw has to come true, it will happen in a different way."

"Still, we'd better take everything this place has before we leave. Let's preserve the knowledge developed in the Citadel." Acidbelly said firmly.

Vicente agreed before taking a step back. "By the way, what do you think happened to the population of the city?"

"If I had to bet my life on it, I'd say the main warriors of the city were drained of their blood by the elders of the vampire coalition. The leading experts were probably enslaved to provide resources for the vampires, and the weaker ones were either killed or kept to become the next generation of guinea pigs or vampire food."

Tenglin agreed with Acidbelly, "That's probably what happened."

"There are also Dark Path magicians who are traitors to the magical race. They probably took some of these prisoners to enslave or sacrifice." Qiang remembered the 24 people who had attacked them—24 Archmages.

He didn't know of any human force on the continent that had that many Archmages!

However, this group was all members of the same sect, judging from their clothes and belongings. How had they created so many specialists? Vicente was sure that it was through the diabolical technique created by vampires and used on a large scale by the Congregation of Revelations.

...

Two and a half months into Vicente's seclusion, he was busy with his attempts to overcome the bottleneck of the 6th stage, while his companions waited for him on the outskirts of the city.

After almost three months in this desert place, the four magical beings had already gathered everything they needed to gather and were just waiting for Vicente to be able to continue his journey.

But that day, while they were watching the place—they had done so even considering the Citadel's powerful defenses—Qiang suddenly noticed something strange on the horizon.

From the top of the tallest building in the city, Qiang narrowed his eyes as he saw what looked like a camp being set up southeast of the Citadel.

"We have trouble. Enemies!" He opened his mouth, causing his three allies to instantly turn their eyes to him, see him looking to the southeast, and then turn their eyes in that direction.

Lonan clenched his fists as he looked in the direction of the camp, where a pale-skinned being he knew was standing, looking in their direction with a smile on his face.

"We're in trouble," the werewolf said, his lips dry and his face losing its usual vivid color. "This is Vlad Abyss Void, right hand of Demien Bloodthorne, who was supposed to be a peak Paragon eight years ago."

Qiang, Tenglin, and Acidbelly immediately understood the problem.

Gulp!

"Archmages? Don't tell me that the new vampire Archmages are finally coming out of hiding?" Acidbelly's mouth opened for the first time in a long time, showing a hint of fear.

If this camp really had Archmage vampires on their side, this could be the end of the group's journey!
