Chapter 1034 Post-Battle Departure
Suddenly, several arrows of light flew out of Vicente's surroundings, attacking those against him, surprising the opponents, who only knew about Vice's powers related to darkness and magnetism.
The fact that they were using magic circles of light to suppress him didn't help. With the light generated by these Grand Magus' own powers, Vicente's attack gained power, reaching the surroundings with much more force than he launched. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Trying to suppress a light magician with light was really dumb." Vicente laughed as he muttered to himself, quickly summoning a series of items as the enemies retreated. They rapidly deactivating the light part of their suppressive magic circles.
The Grand Magus frowned, with the man who had attacked Vicente at point-blank range turning pale as he felt a puncture wound in his abdomen.
"Wretch! Where did that come from?" the man asked as a malicious aura formed around him, coming from Vicente's powers.
Vicente's negative powers kicked in, no longer suppressed by the actions of his enemies.
"Shit! How is that possible? He uses darkness and light concurrently!" One of the old men was horrified to see this combination of powers. He was already protecting himself behind a magic shield.
Their bad luck was that the battle in which Vicente had first used his Eighth Class Real Sorcerer abilities months ago had remained a secret that only he knew about. As soon as he showed his powers over the element of light, he prepared an altar, forcing the man with a wound in his abdomen to fall under the power of his curse.
Nan and the others watched as, while the enemies retreated from Vicente's arrow attack, a realm of darkness formed around the area, bringing forth creatures of darkness armed, strangely, with weapons of light. Meanwhile, an altar formed around Vice, making him more frightening, as if he had temporarily ceased to be a Magus and had become a Grand Magus.
The first enemy to almost hit Vicente exploded, sending blood and body parts into the surrounding area, but while in Vice's direction, the blood decomposed until it disappeared, in the Grand Magus' direction, this didn't happen. The blood mixed with an evil black mist reached the first of those Grand Magus, who were extremely surprised by what was happening, touching him and making him open his mouth in horror.
They had made a much better deal than they had previously believed!
'That's Vicente's full power?' Nan looked at him, gradually losing the expression of a moment ago to reveal a satisfied smile.
With someone so strong in their group, overcoming the challenges of the sea journey ahead was just a detail!
Unlike Magus, Grand Magus as strong as those Vicente had defeated, had little chance of suffering in the Sea of Stars.
The Sea of Stars was certainly not to be underestimated. But as long as the Grand Magus didn't take unnecessary risks, the chances of survival on a short journey like theirs were great.
Finally, Vicente collected the resources of the dead in the area, adding more riches that would serve him and his companions well on the journey ahead.
Returning to the carriage under the gaze of the group's guards, Vicente retracted his powers, aware that there was no other group of enemies around for him to worry about.
"We can continue. I don't think any other groups will attack us on the rest of the way we have left to complete," he said as he got back into the main carriage.
"You didn't tell us you were already an Eighth Class Real Sorcerer." Nan commented in a low voice.
"I didn't tell you about my elemental affinity with light, either." Vicente added with a smile. "My enemies didn't know either. Lucky for us. If they hadn't used their powers to try to suppress me and been weakened by it, it would have been a little more difficult to eliminate them. It's a good thing that I'm the only one who knows certain secrets about myself."
With those words from him, the group got moving again, with Nan and his advisors asking Vicente if that battle wouldn't have repercussions for Stonewall. But he wasn't worried. From the moment he left the sect's headquarters earlier, he was committed to acting only to fulfill his new duties, which did not include acting on the island.
So they would travel the rest of the way to the coast, where the next day they would reach their last point at Light Cay!
