When Vicente's pentagrams appeared around them, the mana in the area changed, while the metals in the ground inside and outside the bodies around changed strangely.
Immediately feeling that they would be threatened if they didn't act as well, these people also activated their powers and made their pentagrams appear.
But amid this, Lauren's three companions there couldn't help but open their eyes and mouths in horror as they saw the totally unusual configuration of Vicente's pentagrams.
"Shit! What's wrong with this bastard? Are those really two green pentagrams?" The only man there shouted.
"Do you have any doubts?" The frailer woman asked. "This is clearly the magical fluctuation of a green pentagram! It's the same as the sect elders!"
"And he has two of them!" Thirty-Three felt even more frightened than those people, seeing a very different Cesar than the one she had known.
'He has two essences formed by special phenomena!' She thought as she realized that Vicente's second pentagram didn't come from a being. Otherwise, it wouldn't have evolved to the green level.
Lauren ignored her allies' comments as she stared at Vicente with narrowed eyes, seeing the most extreme person she had met so far.
She had met Paragons before, but none of them had a pentagram configuration similar to Vicente's.
'He is even more talented than Jonah...' She thought to herself as her book formed in front of her, and her pentagrams circled her body.
"It looks like you really killed him, huh?" She muttered as she looked at Vicente strangely. "Why did you do that?"
Vicente had already created many weapons in his surroundings and had all the vital points of these opponents in his sights. In particular, he was ready to destroy Miss Death's body as soon as he made up his mind!
But he didn't act desperately for fear of reprisals from this organization that held his sister hostage.
If I kill them all here, those bastards might find out who I am and punish Lauren for it.
He replied to Miss Death. "Yes, I killed him. I had no choice. He came after me and tried to kill me. So I did what anyone would do."
"You bastard! We'll kill you for this!" The weakest woman in the group shouted angrily.
Meanwhile, the others also wanted to kill Vicente. Aside from the fact that this young man had already killed one of them, he had very extreme power. If he were going to be their enemy in the future, it would be better for him to die now!
"Miss, use your power on him. We'll hold him down so you can kill him!" The man shouted.
"Don't be rash." Thirty-Three said. "We don't know his real name, and he's wearing something to hide his real Magic Gem. If the Miss can't see him without that device, her powers won't work."
Thirty-Three was an Earth Sovereign, so she could sense the 3rd-grade device covering Vicente's forehead.
"Shit!!!" The man there hadn't noticed and sensed that this battle would be deadly and difficult for them.
But then Lauren let her guard down by letting her pentagrams return to her body while her book disappeared.
She said to Vicente. "He shouldn't have done that. I specifically told him not to come after you."
Vicente and these three people looked at her strangely.
Lauren said. "Whatever your name is, I'm letting you go today. We won't fight. Lower your guard."
"Miss..."
"Silence! The old man did what he wanted against my orders, so I won't take revenge in his name." Lauren said in a deep tone as she turned her face to the woman.
She couldn't see but could make a virtual image of Vicente's face with her powers. "That's why I'm letting you go today. But when we meet again, you will have to make a choice. Either you join my group, or we will hunt you down. This time was your first and last chance!"
Vicente frowned, not liking this threat. But he lowered his aura a bit, feeling that it was not yet time for him to confront Nixlas' Shadows.
If he acted against them now, he would probably kill one or more of them and seriously injure Thirty-Three. Not only would he risk being seriously injured as a result of such a fight, but the reprisals he would suffer later from such an organization would be even worse for him.
For someone who had bowed his head to stay out of trouble with The Ruby Devils in Saltstar City, there was no way he could act any differently with these people from Nixlas' Shadows.
"If that's all, I'll say goodbye," Vicente said as he looked at Lauren.
When he saw her waving for him to continue his departure, he flew away without further hesitation, while the others felt like following him.
"Miss, I don't know if this was a good idea. Cesar is very talented." Thirty-Three sighed as he lowered his aura.
"We should neutralize him." The man there commented.
But Lauren didn't think so. "He is strong and talented. I also feel that he's younger than me. So he is indeed dangerous."
"Then why?" The other woman asked.
"First, because you must understand that I am the leader of my group!" Lauren said in a threatening tone. "The next time someone breaks my orders, we won't need an outsider to kill the traitor. I'll do it myself!
Don't forget that I know your real names and appearances!"
The three of them swallowed their saliva at these words.
"Second, he has potential, but so do I. When we return to the sect, I'll go into seclusion and make some progress before going after my green pentagram. As much as he can surpass me with his set of pentagrams, he doesn't have the possibilities I have.
Besides, she liked the idea of having someone as talented as she was competing with her for power. Since she started cultivating, she hadn't connected with anyone of her generation.
But after meeting Vicente and seeing his power, she couldn't help but be interested in her rivalry with this young man.
While the others pondered their words, she looked in the direction Vicente had left.
'Vicente Fuller, or Cesar Mazzanti... Will you be able to compete with me? Your talent is incredible, but you're in Scott Province, and I'll soon be in the richest region of the continent... Will you be able to compete with me in a few years? I can't wait to find out.' Her lips curled as she clenched her fists in anticipation of the next time she would face Vicente.
