Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 688 Battling the 5th Stage Borbormyst?

The group paused as they stumbled upon the 5th-stage Borbormyst butterfly, taking a moment to observe its graceful flight while Lina delved into the future, her three pentagrams glowing in anticipation.

The butterfly fluttered gracefully above one of the many trees dotting the area, trailing behind it a vibrant mist that danced in harmony with the gentle flapping of its wings.

Though it was the size of Onyx, its slender frame marked it as an insect rather than an animal like the black-feathered creature.

Its wings bore intricate spiral patterns, each swirl a mesmerizing display of color. Atop its head sat two long antennae resembling human legs in length.

Even as the group spotted it, the butterfly seemed to sense their presence, redirecting its attention toward them.

"Let's proceed cautiously," Lina advised after a moment's contemplation. "Our primary concern is its poison. Once infected, our minds will become vulnerable, leaving us defenseless.

While its physical strength may not match other beings at its level, a weakened state would render us susceptible to its fatal attacks.

However, victory is within reach if we can avoid its poison."

Vicente looked at Casey and said, "I will weaken it for you. Use the armor's powers together with our allies. But you must wait for its moment of weakness. When it's vulnerable, use your mental power to kill it however you can."

"Okay." Casey nodded as he felt his heart quicken.

Vicente motioned to Rory and Layla. "Prepare the area so she can't escape. Make a circle of flames around us."

Rory could not only combine his skills with Vicente but also with Layla. Specifically, he could use his explosive ability to quickly generate violent flames by using this woman's speed.

As soon as Vicente ordered them, they moved away from the group to form a barrier of flames around the area.

Meanwhile, Vicente moved forward toward the giant insect while the rest of his group moved more slowly in the same direction.

Vicente brought out his pentagrams, altering the electromagnetic fields in the area while casting a long-range spell.

A huge fist of lightning formed not far from the butterfly and struck at it. At the same time, several weapons formed near Vicente before aiming at the creature.

Despite its huge body, the butterfly had far fewer metals in its body composition than beasts of the same size. Moreover, it was a Low-level Paragon, so Vicente couldn't affect it in the same way that he could affect creatures at the 4th stage.

He didn't try to affect the inside of the creature's body but rather attacked it with powerful attacks that could injure it.

Even though Vicente was only at the end of the 4th stage, Torne estimated that his master could fight Low-level Paragons on equal terms!

Unless he encountered a being with a talent or mastery similar to that of a cyan-talented being, he should be able to fight Low-level Paragons with his first magical form at his current level.

As soon as the battle began in the special area in the central part of the continent, he demonstrated this to his companions and to himself.

As soon as his first attacks came close to those creatures, it had to protect itself by dodging or using its elongated wings to defend itself. These were attacks it couldn't ignore!

After the first wave of attacks, Vicente got closer to the creature as metal stakes flew into the environment under his control, heading for the creature's wings.

He couldn't be the one to kill or seriously injure this butterfly. The only one who could do that was Casey; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to absorb the pentagram the insect was forming.

So Vicente tried to hit the wings of his opponent, imagining that this would immobilize the creature and make it easier for all his companions to see.

As soon as he did this, his companions got close enough and immediately began to use their armor functions to try to force the butterfly to stay still.

Feeling that it might die if it didn't take these attacking magicians as mortal enemies, it quickly used its special escape technique.

The mist around it shimmered, and then suddenly, its body shrank 100 times before it flapped its wings and quickly changed position.

When its body returned to normal size, it was already very close to Vicente's companions, ready to unleash its poisonous powder on them.

Lina sensed the giant insect's action against them and didn't hesitate to channel her mana into a special spell.

Aqua Sphere!

Using her affinity for the element of water, she quickly formed a giant water ball and threw it at the butterfly.

Lina acted at the ideal moment, from the best angle of attack. Immediately after her attack, the creature couldn't help but let out a strange scream, caught off guard by this hard-to-

avoid attack.

Instead of hitting it like a stone and throwing it away, the water ball went through it until half of its body was surrounded by water.

The butterfly would have to work for a few seconds to escape, but before it had the chance, it was already falling from the sky while Vicente and the others in the area were working against it.

Vicente's metal stakes finally reached the creature's wings, while the suppressive power generated by each of the surrounding armors fell upon the insect.

The moment it hit the ground, Lina's water sphere broke apart. Still, its wings were already pinned down by the stakes, as Onyx, Sarah, Casey, and Lina used the robotic armor to immobilize it.

Even though their power was equal to that of the peak Sovereigns, they managed to stop the butterfly momentarily as it trembled and tried to escape them.

At that moment, Casey's three pentagrams condensed in his third eye as he finally attacked his target.

Vicente seized the moment and unleashed a deadly attack, forming a giant axe and then casting a spell to create a lightning giant to attack the creature.

The attack power of this axe attacking giant was so high that the butterfly couldn't be bothered with Casey. It used much of what it had to form a physical barrier around itself to avoid being killed by this attack.

'That is your chance, Casey. Kill it quickly.' Vicente thought with a smile on his face.
