Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - C.811 Situation of the Kenyth Empire

?With Vicente's conversations with the 30 emissaries from different areas of the south region of the continent, things would become clearer for each of these groups, with them better understanding Vice's goals and where they would end up with their alliance.

The Congregation of Revelations would eventually be marginalized or even destroyed, while the Cataclysm Order would have a monopoly on Dark Path magicians and the Awakening of powers.

These points seemed positive only for Vicente and the Fuller family, but that was the price to pay for weapons and armor that would save the lives of magicians and allow them to fight the monsters and reclaim the lost lands.

From their point of view, it was a worthwhile exchange, especially considering the temple could no longer be trusted.

When the emissaries learned of the technique the vampires had created, they had two particularly worrying thoughts in mind.

First, the Congregation of Revelation had allied with the vampires in the past to get this technique, and they had a way of tracking down magicians with less than 5th stage power. So what was to guarantee the temple wouldn't ally with the vampires again in the future and use such capabilities against them?

The second point concerned the vampire's technique. Although this technique could not be used between members of the same path, no one there wanted it to fall into the hands of the Dark Path magicians.

If it fell into those allies' hands, it might even be interesting for one or the other. But given the lack of powerful Dark Path magicians on the continent, even that wouldn't be so good.

Therefore, everyone there had more or less the same thought as Vicente. They had to act against the Congregation of Revelations and destroy the copies of such a technique!

With a sense of urgency in their hearts, most of them left the Fuller estate, worried about the future, this time not because of the vampires, but because of the members of the temple and their corruption.

The only one left behind was Julian, who was now standing in front of Vicente and Nina, with no one else around but the three of them.

"Venerable Fuller, thank you for the opportunities you've given Rory. As much as I wasn't there for him, I'm truly grateful for what you did." Julian stood and made a gesture of greeting to Vicente, bowing his head as he spoke sincerely.

"Rory is my best friend. No need to thank me, Venerable Bond. He has been by my side throughout the building of the Fuller family and the beginning of the rebuilding of the Cataclysm Order.

Without him, everything would have been much more difficult for me, so it is I who am grateful for the friend he has been since we met." Vicente approached Rory's father and made him raise his head.

Vicente had no reason to have a problem with the man. If Rory accepted Julian, then he could only respect this person as the father of his friend.

"Hmm, I regret a lot of things in my life, but maybe the mistake I made in leaving Rory and Heidi behind was for their own good." He smiled as he thought about his situation in a different way.

"I would never have been able to bring the good that you brought into their lives. So, even if you don't need my gratitude, I will be eternally grateful to you. I hope I can help you in any way I can."

Vicente nodded at the man before changing the subject. "Well, I won't refuse your help... But how is the empire? After passing through the Trevora Kingdom, I made my way here in a hurry, so I don't know the actual situation in some of the southern states."

"The situation is not good. I don't think it's worse than the situation in the central states. I think the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn was the most devastated of our allies. But the imperial family fell in my homeland.

Although there are still imperial forces and nobles trying to hold the state together, the entire imperial lineage has been wiped out.

The capital of the empire has been devastated by monsters, and a group of 4th stage vampires have taken over the city as a staging area for their operations in the southern region.

From what I've heard from our new allies here in Metal City, the vampires have other outposts in the southern region, similar to the one in my state."

"Oh? I didn't expect them to be so close to us." Vicente narrowed his eyes when he saw how serious this was.

"They are responsible for expanding the monsters' territory. Behind every major attack on human cities, such as the capital of my empire and Saltstar City, are the orders of peak 4th stage vampires.

From what little I've been able to read about the enemy's movements, the 5th stage vampires are in seclusion in the north, where almost the entire area has already been conquered by their race.

The vampires who are currently directing the actions of their race are the Sky Sovereigns. There must be at least 30 such individuals in the central and southern parts of the continent, while another 400 or so 4th-stage vampires must be scattered throughout the area to command the monsters."

Nina and Vicente became more serious when they heard such detailed and up-to-date news about vampires so close to them for the first time.

Julian knew this from the terrible situation in the Kenyth Empire, one of the southern states of the continent that was in the worst shape at the moment.

Tamor Dynasty, the place the Congregation of Revelations had chosen as its new headquarters, was the opposite of the Kenyth Empire, currently the safest and most peaceful of all human domains on the continent.

But because of that, it was the Kenyth Empire, not the Tamor Dynasty, that had the best information about the monsters and vampires on the continent.

"This is very serious. Is there an imminent danger that these vampires will move against us? Against my state?" Vicente asked, with the seriousness appropriate to the subject.

"As far as I know, they seem determined to go through with their plans to keep us as a food reserve for their race. So I believe there is no immediate danger of more of them moving against us on a large scale. But it is possible they will hunt down human warriors or even move against some cities." Julian answered as best he could.

"Very well. I'll give priority to producing the artifacts your group needs to return to the realm as soon as possible. And as soon as I'm ready, I'll go to the Kenyth Empire to visit those vampires." Vincent made up his mind.
