While Vicente felt as if he was trapped inside his own eyes, he 'watched' the consciousness of his second Magic Gem act, not losing consciousness as had happened before.
The consciousness of his second gem was not simple. As a creature without feelings, who only existed to bring his gem to its peak, it didn't take it lightly. As soon as it took control of Vicente's body, it used as much as it could to eliminate the enemy.
At that moment, Vicente's body lifted one of his hands forward, covered by part of the cloak of darkness that covered his body.
The hand closed, and both the Hawk and Nova felt as if time had suddenly slowed down considerably.
Magic circles of different colors with many inscriptions appeared around the great beast's body, appearing in a single instant and then adjusting to the body as if ropes were holding the creature.
"Supreme Suppression!"
Vicente's lips moved, and a ridiculous amount of mana appeared from his position while the sizeable yellow pentagram glowed brightly.
The magic circles quickly closed in on the Hawk, causing this beast to feel several levels of suppression surging through its body amidst its sudden weakness.
"What the hell?" The beast screamed as it came face to face with the supreme predator, realizing its huge mistake.
For a moment, it was about to win the fight and end the magician's pathetic life, but then everything changed, and now it was facing death.
Not only did the beast feel its elemental affinities slipping out of its control, but it also felt the darkness penetrating its being, heading for its soul to eliminate it.
It could do nothing to stop what was happening to it. Feeling trapped by those magic circles, it could only think as it watched its own end unfold.
'Who is this person?' It asked in agony. 'What kind of supreme power is this?'
The Hawk was not the only one asking these questions. Nova watched everything with wide eyes, extremely pale and frightened.
'What is going on? What is this magical form?' She asked herself, trying to ignore the sensation coming from Vicente, which was stronger than when he had merged with Torne's powers earlier.
However strong Vicente's aura was now, it could be explained somehow. But how do you explain a second magical form under his use?
Considering how close she was to this man, Nova couldn't help but feel strange as she watched Vicente kill the 4th-stage Tempest Hawk that had almost killed her.
She knew that if Vicente hadn't shown that strange magical form, she would have been reached by the Hawk and sliced into many pieces!
Amidst feelings of frustration and fear, Nova watched as Vicente eliminated the Hawk.
After only 40 seconds of strangely powerful action, Vicente's magic circles solidified into tattoos around the giant bird's body. At the same time, dark mana completely consumed the creature's soul, gradually forcing a beautiful, magnificent green pentagram to emerge from its already dead body.
Seeing it appear, the consciousness of Vicente's second Magic Gem controlled it, drawing it toward its host's body.
Meanwhile, the brightness of Vicente's second gem diminished while the first one gradually increased.
'That was the last time I helped you without a price. I won't help you again until you start adding pentagrams to me. But don't do it with essences of living beings.
In any case, keep this gift. With what the ghost did for you before it fell asleep, you should be able to act for yourself now.'
As the voice of the consciousness of Vicente's second magical form faded in his mind, his space of consciousness returned to 'normal,' a little shaken by the activation of the second magical form, but much better than the last time.
Vicente had improved his level a lot since then. Not only that, but Torne was in his mind space to give him additional solidity, and he wasn't as badly hurt as he had been the last time he had been forced to use his strongest magical form.
Because of all this, he didn't lose consciousness during the seconds in which the consciousness of his second Magic Gem had acted. As soon as he regained control of his body, he summoned the device Newton had sent him. He did not hesitate to save the pentagram for later absorption.
He looked at Nova and said. "We need to leave the area. A lot of people will come here after what's happened."
Nova was in shock. When she heard this, she just continued to stare at Vicente strangely, full of doubt in her heart.
"Nova! We're in danger! Let's go!" He said.
He had escaped from the nearby prison just a few hours ago. There should be soldiers in this area, and someone would most likely come to this place after such a high-level battle!
He didn't know how long it would take to absorb the green pentagram, so he couldn't risk doing it in this place. With that in mind, he was ready to flee, recover from his injuries and exhaustion, and then absorb his new essence.
After a few seconds, Nova understood what he meant and approached him while she couldn't help but question him. "Were you lying to me the whole time? Were you just using me, Vicente?" She asked him as they ran away from the area devastated by the fight moments ago.
Vicente looked at her and sighed, knowing she had every reason to think so. "Nova, I love you. But I can't deny that I had rational reasons for getting close to you. However, I tried to put them aside as soon as we started to get more involved.
If you don't believe me, think about everything that happened between us. I could have done many things if I didn't have feelings for you and just wanted to use you. I wouldn't have done a lot of other things either."
She clenched her fists when she heard that, tears streaming from her eyes.
'What am I supposed to do? He clearly used me!' She thought to herself in silence. 'Should I break up with him? But he saved my life so many times. I can't do that! We should distance ourselves and end our relationship?' She felt her heart hurt in a way she never thought it would.
As they fled with many things on their minds, experts in the area were already moving in on Vicente and the Hawk's battle site!
