Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 423 Escape from Ironcrest



Chapter 423 Escape from Ironcrest?

After Vicente formed the magnetic core, all metals within a radius of up to 50 meters from the core were strongly attracted to it.

All metal structures in the building, on people, or even on the ground were drawn to the core, causing them to pass through anything in their way.

The two Mages facing Vicente sensed something was wrong when they heard the building they were in range of, but also saw several walls being destroyed by metal flying towards the thing.

Their instincts told them not to stay there, or terrible things might happen to them.

But before they could flee, the building began to collapse as more and more metal flew across the area, like ammunition of different sizes being fired at the same place.

“Aaaaaaagh!”

The blonde woman opened her mouth to scream in pain as she felt several of those metal fragments flying by at high speed, overcoming her defenses.

She tried to move, but as she concentrated on keeping her defenses active to avoid being impaled by one of those projectiles, she felt the ground become soft and her feet sink into it.

Nash felt the same, sensing the effect of the earth-based spell Vicente had just cast.

“Damn you! Do you want to die here with us?” Nash shouted as he glared at Vicente with hatred, trying to freeze the ground to improve his situation.

Vicente said nothing, preparing for the building to collapse.

Crack!

Amidst the blonde woman’s screams and Nash’s desperate attempt to flee the area, the sound of cracking grew louder and louder.

Ten seconds after the magnetic core was activated, the three-story building began to crumble, with the walls and columns of the first floor collapsing before the entire building was destroyed.

Those outside the building would notice this when they looked back and saw a large cloud of dust forming at that location.

Some were waiting for the results of Nash’s move to escape, while others were already on the run after killing the two remaining Mages from the investigators’ group.

Now, it was time for them to hide!

Seeing the building collapse made Nash’s most trusted allies feel terrible, but they couldn’t risk their lives by staying behind.

“Let’s go!” A Mid-level Mage said to his companions who were still waiting for Nash. “If the boss survives, he’ll find us. But we can’t waste any more time here!”

“Yes!”

“Okay!”

They made up their minds to leave this place on the run, heading in the same direction as their other companions who had already left.

Amidst this, Jasmine and Layla looked in the direction of that place, already further away than the men of The Faceless Ones who were fleeing.

“Will he be okay?” Jasmine didn’t know about Cesar’s improvement, so of course, she wondered about it, a little worried.

Her relationship with Cesar had gotten off to a very bad start. But when she was rescued, she couldn’t help but take a new interest in the man.

Not only had he shown her that he was much more talented and capable than she had previously thought, but he was also braver, willing to get into trouble for the good of his group.

These were remarkable qualities that could not be ignored in an ally!

Layla looked back as she left Ironcrest at high speed. “I don’t know. Let’s wait for him at the place where we attacked him earlier. If he survives, he’ll meet us there before nightfall.”

While those directly involved in the incident who were not in the building at the time of the collapse fled, this faction’s observers were already communicating with their superiors about what was happening.

From one hour to the next, The Faceless Ones had begun fighting members of the Congregation of Revelation, and then that faction’s building collapsed.

Men from the largest local faction were already on the run, while several bodies lay at the edge of the now ruined building.

“Shit! The Faceless Ones are finished! They attacked the fucking Congregation of Revelation investigators!”

“Boss, cut all our ties with The Faceless Ones. From tomorrow, they will be the number one enemy of the Congregation of Revelation!”

“This is the time to move! The Faceless Ones’ business will be free to take in no time! Tell the bosses that we must move quickly!”

Several people moved away from the area, using communicators to let people know what was going on in this part of Ironcrest, hinting at the opportunities as well as the problems that might arise after today.

No one wanted to venture into the unknown just yet, and investigating this dusty area was still not a priority for these people. At least until the dust settled, all observers and onlookers would stay away from this place.

That was exactly what Vicente needed to get out of the area safely! 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚

While everyone outside the ruined building thought that everyone there had died, Vicente was in the same place as before.

But his surroundings had changed considerably. Now, his freedom of movement was reduced to a sphere with a radius of 2 meters, just enough for him to stand and move his arms in this area surrounded by rubble.

Beyond those two meters was a large amount of material parts of the walls, ceiling, and building structures that had been there before.

But even after the building collapsed and left Vicente’s surroundings in this form, he could hear human sounds of pain here and there.

In particular, he could hear the sound of Nash, who was still alive despite being injured and trapped by fixtures, walls, and a layer of rubble more than 10 meters high.

Vicente kept his powers active as he kept those materials from collapsing on him, looking in the direction of where the blonde woman had been earlier.

‘It looks like she’s dead…’ He felt that as he noticed several metallic objects impaled in the woman’s body.m

“Perfect.” He muttered, aware that he simply couldn’t leave her alive.

She had seen him and knew he was responsible for today’s battle. She could easily turn the Congregation of Revelations against him and his family if she survived.

But with her dead, even if Nash survived and tried something, Vicente wouldn’t have much of a problem with the Congregation of Revelations.

With that confirmed, he used his powers, casting a spell based on the earth element to create a way out of these ruins.

It didn’t take long for him to get out of where he was and reach the surface, where dust still surrounded the outskirts, a few dozen meters away from the center of the destruction.

He made his way to the rendezvous point with Layla without hesitation.
