Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

When Vicente appeared where 16 beasts were fighting each other or the four exhausted humans in the area, he immediately noticed that Rory wasn't there.

Faced with this situation, Vice didn't immediately worry about what might have happened to some of his men. Seeing that four of his soldiers were wounded and out of ammunition but also surrounded by enemies, he immediately distorted the electric and magnetic fields in the area.

As he did so, the insects facing the woodpeckers and the insects surrounding the men of the Mazzanti family realized that something was wrong.

Beasts were beings with extraordinary sensorial abilities. They could detect physical or magical changes in their surroundings much more easily than humans.

When a woodpecker, about 0.9 meters tall, with black feathers over most of its body and a brightly colored head, tried to pierce the armor of one of the ants nearby, it missed the move and felt something messing with its senses.

At the same time, one of the snake-like insects about to wrap itself around one level 1 human felt the distance between it and its target become infinite.

As it was about to cover the human, crushing him and poisoning him simultaneously, the space in front of it distorted, and the poison coming out of its many legs missed its target and fell to the ground.

"Boss!"

"We're saved!"

The four men realized that only Vicente could be behind the strange phenomena around them, and they shouted with joy as they realized that they might not die.

They had been surrounded by these insects a few minutes ago when the peace of the last two hours, during which one of them had absorbed his second pentagram, ended, and they became desperate.

Low on ammunition, they thought they were about to die.

Fortunately for them, the woodpeckers and insects of this mountainous region were ancient enemies. When they encountered them almost simultaneously, the groups of insects and woodpeckers were much more focused on destroying each other than on dealing with these humans!

If the group of humans who had entered this underground area that night had been able to perceive the insects' plans, it wouldn't have been the woodpeckers who ignored this obvious fact. As much more territorial creatures than humans, woodpeckers would obviously know the significance of these tunnels so close to their main outpost!

When they met in that chamber, there was no way one side could ignore the other just because of the presence of humans!

But even though they didn't have to face all those beasts, Vicente's men still suffered from the attacks of the most numerous insects in the last moments.

After seeing their leader there, their situation changed from desperate to hopeful.

While Vicente was drawing the attention of the 2nd stage beasts, Vicente's men suddenly heard several shots coming from the same direction.

Bang!

Even though they were used to the noise and effects of Vicente's weapons, the four wounded men were taken by surprise by the gunfire.

Looking at the targets of the shots, they saw a strange scene unfolding in front of them.

They didn't see the movement of the bullets because they didn't have the visual skills to follow a shot faster than the speed of sound. However, when they looked at the insects hit, the four men immediately saw uncommon consequences appear on the targets of those bullets.

Even though they were level 5 beasts and Vicente's men's bullets weren't strong enough to penetrate their bodies, they still caused damage and made the beasts grunt in pain.

One of the woodpeckers was hit in the head and felt a twinge in its neck. But after the bullet stopped at its head, blue lightning suddenly appeared around its body, electrocuting it.

Some of the other beasts suffered the same, but that wasn't the only special phenomenon.

One of the hit ants also didn't have its natural armor pierced. But after being hit by a shot from one of Vicente's men, a magnetic pulse damaged its geographic orientation, making it even more vulnerable to Vice's powers.

The four men were excited to receive new ammunition and saw the change in their surroundings with a gleam in their eyes.

"Watch out, boss!" One of them shouted as he saw two woodpeckers manage to flap their wings and fly toward Vicente. At the same time, a scorpion-like insect with a bright purple tail launched a spear-sized stinger at Vice's chest.

'Attacking me?'

Vicente saw it and continued to float in the air, extending his arms as he manipulated the field lines around him.

To everyone in the chamber, he merely positioned his arms 180 degrees from each other, nothing more.

But as his two pentagrams appeared around his body, Vice could clearly see the field lines around him forming what looked like a sphere.

The enemies were about to hit him when all the men in the area looked at him with a bit of fear. But before anything happened, the stinger and the two woodpeckers found a powerful barrier in their path.

The barrier slowed their movements more and more as they approached Vicente and began to push them in the opposite direction, like a rubber band.

Vicente smiled behind his mask as he saw the three practically stop in mid-air in front of him.

"Now you come back." He muttered as each of them was thrown in the opposite direction.

However, Vicente used his powers to accelerate the three, giving them three times the speed they had used to approach him.

Boom!

When the woodpeckers hit the floor of that chamber, they didn't stand a chance, breaking their necks and leaving small craters in the area.

At the same time, the scorpion's sting came back at it, piercing its body mercilessly.

"Hm, I like this power." Vicente clenched his fists as he floated in the air.

But even he had his limits, and before he reached his exhaustion, he looked at the frightened beasts around him and made his last move.

Electromagnetic Pulse!

Flashes of lightning appeared throughout the chamber while the beasts still alive were fried by Vicente's spell, unable to defend themselves while their electromagnetic fields were altered by it.

With such a move, all the enemies in the area died!

"Wow! Boss, that's the power a yellow pentagram gives to Acolytes?" One of the less injured men in the chamber asked aloud.

"Don't waste your breath being curious." Vicente descended from where he was, no longer using most of his abilities but still keeping an eye on his surroundings. "Help your companions. It's time to leave!"

"Boss, I don't know if you already know the situation of the rest of us. But when we stayed behind to get in the way of the enemies, we split up to get in the way of those chasing us. Our group is down to four, but it's not because the rest of us are dead... Maybe."
