Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

1067  A Fight for History

Vicente and the creature looked at each other as one coveted the other's power. The young human desired the extremely rare violet pentagram of the creature in his path, while the giant bird wished to consume the body and blood of the owner of 14 pentagrams.

A powerful bolt of lightning formed behind the bird, taking on the violet color of its pentagram, quickly changing shape. What looked like a simple bolt of lightning amid the intensifying storm evolved into something more, becoming a bird of mana and violet lightning, flying at Vice.

Meanwhile, Vicente was covered in a cloak of darkness as the surrounding space vibrated from his electromagnetic manipulation.

A huge metallic trident covered in darkness formed behind Vicente, flying towards the enemy attack.

The sound of Vicente's weapon passing through it was like a shot that competed with the thunder raging in the area, carrying with it a power capable of disrupting storms and causing chaos around it.

The surrounding space seemed to tear apart, watching it pass so quickly that it competed with the speed of the bird-shaped lightning attack.

Boom!

The two forms of attack collided halfway through, destroying each other while spreading pulses against all directions, destroying part of the peak just below them, while making the very air tremble. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The explosion would affect those closest with massive destruction, while those further away would feel the shockwave and extreme noise of the collision of high-level 8th stage powers, one of the strongest this island had seen in hundreds of thousands of years.

Vicente's companions, especially the dwarves, hid as best they could, expressing in their faces and voices how shocked they were by the sheer powers of this seemingly ordinary young man.

While this was going on, Vicente and the bird continued to stand, both already performing their subsequent moves in the fight that would make one of them the other's heir.

"You're really formidable, but you lack control over different elements," Vicente said as he raised and then lowered one of his hands into the air.

A dark hand suddenly formed behind the creature, attacking it so that it looked like a small fly about to be trapped.

The bird managed to dodge the first blow, but then it was hit by an arrow of light that went through a wormhole and hit it in the back.

The bird's scream came along with a shower of extremely sharp feathers, which broke out of its wings and headed in Vicente's direction in search of a taste of his blood.

The creature's attack was swift, reaching Vicente almost as fast as he could defend himself.

Before his body could be hit, Vicente turned one of his hands and his invisible electromagnetic shield took distinguishable shape, stopping the first attacks, before blue rays attacked each of the feathers thrown at him.

He couldn't destroy the enemy feathers, but he brought them down, while his realm of darkness and light took over the surroundings, turning the peak of that mountain into his domain.

The bird once again managed to escape his hand of darkness and even dodge the various arrows of light attacking it, but its strength gradually began to recede, eroded by Vicente's power of domination.

Her violet rays were still there to help her, partly blocking the powers of suppression that Vicente was clearly demonstrating against her. But she felt weaker than she normally was in ordinary situations.

Then, feeling at a disadvantage, she opened her eyes wide and opened her beak, turning her glowing eyes into violet essences as a scream broke from her throat.

The sound that came after she started screaming was so extreme that some of the rocks on the peak shattered, with nearby trees losing their leaves as they vibrated with great force.

Vicente had to raise his guard, expressing his displeasure at having to deal with that attack, half purely sonic, half mental, capable of moving even the souls of the creatures in the vicinity.

He felt, for an instant, his mind being taken to a space between clouds, an extremely violet sky and a giant winged creature staring at him with a thirsty desire for his body.

If Vicente hadn't tempered himself enough to get that far, he honestly didn't know if he could stand the sight of it so close and so overwhelming. But he clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes, making his body convulse as his extremely dense mana permeated his head.

His eyes inside that illusion glowed a rich, vibrant gold as the space around him cracked, shattering like damaged glass.

Crack!

The bird's attempt failed, revealing the creature in the very spot where it had been trying to escape the darkness and light attacking it, its eyes and beak soiled with its own blood that now showed its internal wounds.

Meanwhile, Vicente was not looking so good either. His dark circles deepened and his skin became thinner, making him look like he had lost a few kilos of mass through severe malnutrition. Blood also oozed from his mouth, while his arms and legs trembled slightly.

Around him, the electromagnetic shield stopped working, showing how a few final feathers had been able to reach him, leaving superficial traces on his skin.

"You're the strongest opponent I've ever faced," Vicente said firmly, his gaze fixed on the creature's now tired eyes, also focused on him. "Your powers will do me good, beast. I'll use them to the fullest."

He moved with his remaining strength, watching the creature ignore the almost completely transparent essences, trying to reach it to deliver its last attack of the battle.

Without much power to use her special abilities, she pointed her large, sharp claws forward as she watched Vicente use what he could, a metal trident.

He flew bravely at her, putting himself in the position of hand-to-hand combat against a beast, a battle rarely fair to the human side.

Vicente relied on his physical attributes, using other advantages to compensate for the potential weakness of fighting in that position.

Both sides screamed, spraying their bloody saliva into the air, watching them more closely, attracting the attention of the few brave spectators to watch the outcome of this Grand Magus battle.

At that moment, they both reached out, cutting into each other's flesh!
