Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Chapter 1039 Strengthening and Plans

Some time after Vicente's promotion, he watched practically everyone on the ship go through situations similar to his.

Some only improved one level within their stages, others managed to improve a level and still get improvements in the quality of one of their pentagrams. But one person in particular stood out for achieving more than one advance in a single opportunity.

While those who advanced stages, as had been the case with Vicente, stabilized their bases, Larissa opened her eyes, finding herself 2 levels stronger, with a pentagram in a new color.

She felt her strength at the peak of the 8th stage, and couldn't help but crack a big smile on her beautiful face. Her talent was naturally formidable. It wasn't as good as Vicente's, but she was still someone from a lower plane, with great possibilities for advancement in Anicane.

She unfastened the belt around her body and went to Vicente's side, walking with a new energy, already fully recovered from the wear and tear of the previous situation.

She had been the one who had suffered the most previously, but after the opportunity, she was one of those who had benefited the most, narrowing the large gap that existed between her and Vicente.

"Well done. You've made good progress. Given how much you've improved now, it's possible that you'll get another breakthrough before this trip is over." Vicente said with a happy look on his face.

"Hmmm." She nodded before congratulating him on advancing a stage and becoming the group's first Grand Magus.

But Vicente wouldn't be the only Grand Magus in this group on the journey ahead. Three other individuals, members of Nan's group, advanced in cultivation and became 1-Star Grand Magus too!

Some of those who hadn't grown as much in power had managed to improve to the peak of 9-Star and stand on the threshold for advancement, giving the group hope of breakthroughs before the end of the journey.

Nan thanked Vicente for the opportunity. "Thank you for your efforts, Vicente. Without you to keep us alive this far, we wouldn't have survived."

He didn't press the issue, having only done his duty. "Don't worry about it. Now we have to prepare for what lies ahead. I imagine that today's chance wasn't the only opportunity that will come our way."

She looked in the same direction as Vicente, to the place from which they had passed and left the area affected by the Fury of the Stars.

Nan agreed with him. "Indeed." She looked at the captain of the ship and said, "Get our men into position. We could find traces of shipwrecks or the bodies of experts at any time within the next few days of travel. Be ready to start resource-gathering operations!"

Although groups like theirs were difficult to find leaving the same island, there were many, many sea travelers along this great sea. After a phenomenon as extreme as the one they narrowly survived, several groups had certainly perished and should have left valuable bodies behind.

That was the group's short-term goal: abandoned ships, the remains of ships and corpses!

But Nan warned Vicente in case they were out of luck. "There are two negative possibilities in our path. One, we're unlucky enough not to find anything, or two, we find something, but other survivors like us find them too."

"I see... I'll keep an eye out." He said, realizing that getting that far was no guarantee of greater gains than what they had just achieved.

Vicente was already a magician used to possibilities, so he didn't let himself get carried away by the chance of great riches easily. Whatever came to them would probably be through the efforts of the group.

He was fine with the way things worked out. In fact, he wanted to find some competition. Having advanced a stage, he was looking forward to testing his powers as well as his ritualistic skills.

"Let's move on!" Warned the ship's capital as he resumed his position, with the large group of crew members finally leaving their celebrations over their improved powers to turn their attention to their respective jobs.

Larissa and Vicente watched Rex lie down in a corner and go into hibernation, the natural process for beasts to process their enhancements.

"We'll be without him for a while," Vice said to the white-haired girl next to him. "But he'll probably be a Grand Magus when he awakens."

"That's good. A beast like him in the 8th stage is very different from what we saw in him. He'll perhaps become capable of dealing with all our affairs in Amae without you having to get involved." She joked with Vicente, although she really felt that Rex would be that strong.

"I hope so... It will speed up our journey to the other islands."

For the moment, Larissa seemed keen to continue her journey with Vicente and Rex, even if the possibilities were open to her.

She wanted to find her plane mates who had come to Anicane before her, take a message from old comrades and hear the stories of these individuals who had come before her. Her commitment wasn't as strong as Vicente's, but for now, she was willing to do the same as him to complete her plans.

But this wasn't just a chance to fulfill a mission for her. It was a way for her to grow stronger. Larissa wasn't unaware of how beneficial it could be to travel alongside a talented monster!

"We'll be able to focus our attention on getting maps and information on how to get to other islands."

Traveling through Anicane and the Sea of Stars was complicated because most places and people didn't know how to get from one side of the great world to the other. If someone wanted to explore the great world, they had to travel little by little, collecting information on each island they passed, until they came up with a patchwork map of their own.

Only after a long life and a journey across the seas would one be able to get from one side of the world to the other without having to stop.

Now Vicente and Larissa had the information they had managed to buy in Light Cay and were planning to do something similar in Amae!
