Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - #458 - 458 Psychic Immunity

Psychic Immunity was a power associated with the lightning element. It basically created an electrical shield over its user’s mind and soul, capable of completely hiding and protecting that part of its user.

With this new power, Vicente could, for example, resist Casey’s power to manipulate memories and thoughts entirely. In fact, even a Sovereign capable of hearing thoughts would not be able to act against Vice now.

That was the defensive part of the ability. But it could also be used to attack opponents mentally!

Vicente could use this new ability in combination with his first power to manipulate metals in the bodies of targets and transmit mental attacks into the bodies of enemies. Through the electrical nature of his new power and the ability of metals to transmit electricity, he could attack his targets from the inside out.

He could combine his powers to form an electromagnetic field with the ability to unleash mental attacks when invaded. Not only would this have the previous characteristics of repelling and attacking opponents, but it would also move the mental part of his targets.

‘If I use this ability in conjunction with my other two pentagrams, I believe I can even control a Low-level Mage to act as if they were my puppet.’ He clenched his fists as he thought about the feeling he had.

With the ability to control someone’s body and mind, he could make people move the way he wanted and even make them say whatever he decided!

‘This is a supreme power!’ Vicente thought as he looked at his hands. ‘It may seem simple at first, but it’s quite fantastic!’

That was indeed a good power. It wasn’t so compatible with Vicente’s two powers, but that was to be expected. Pentagrams formed in magical beings weren’t as close to powers as those formed by special phenomena.

Vicente’s first two pentagrams had much more affinity with electromagnetic powers, while this third one was more in line with the electrical nature of the lightning element. It was compatible with Vicente’s magical form and could be combined with the other two powers, but it wasn’t the best he could have.

However, in this world, one depends on one’s luck to get the best, and 99.9% of beings in Vicente’s situation wouldn’t even achieve what he had just accomplished. 

He had no regrets and was very happy with his new power.

That was especially true since his second pentagram had developed, and he would now have even better abilities.

The ability to manipulate electromagnetic fields had evolved, and Vicente could now also use Electromagnetism Detection and Electromagnetism Generation.

He could already use the latter to a certain extent, but it wasn’t a power of his own. Hence, he had to use spells that consumed a lot of his mana, and he had to use accessory methods and special resources to achieve such effects. But now that he had acquired this new feature in his second pentagram, it would be much easier for him to use it in his weapons from now on.

After realizing all this, he controlled his elements and powers and made his pentagrams disappear while the lightning around him vanished.

The terrain of the cave returned to normal as he walked forward with a smile on his face. 

“Thank you for protecting me, Nova.” He walked over to her, seeing the silly look on the beautiful woman’s face.

“It was the least I could do after everything that happened…” She muttered as she watched him walk towards her in his underwear.

He didn’t hesitate to embrace her and kiss her passionately without giving her a chance to refuse his affection.

But after a few seconds of exchanging saliva, Nova resisted. “No. I want you to give me some space, Vicente.” She said while trying to breathe. “A lot has happened between us. I need to think things over before we go any further.”

He closed his eyes and sighed, feeling bad about it but determined to respect her decision. “All right. But if you don’t contact me, I’ll come to wherever you are. My intentions are still the same. Nothing has changed for me except the fact that you could be in danger now because of me.”

“Worry more about your situation.” She grinned at him, pleased that he didn’t insist. “I managed to fend off the Sovereign, but he saw you, Vicente. I don’t know what you were involved in nearby, and I don’t know what such a Sovereign wants with you. But since you’re Cesar, you’re bound to have a lot of problems.

Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine in the short term. Even if I know who you are, only the Sovereign knows what I know.”

“That’s what worries me.” He sighed, even though he agreed with most of what Nova said.

“Anyway, what are you going to do now?” He asked as he put on some new clothes.

She watched him get dressed and replied. “Now that you’re done, I’m going back to my group. I’ve finished my absorption, so I’ll wait for the rest of the group so we can go to Saltstar City.

What about you?”

“I’m going back to Millfall. I’ve got some things to take care of in the city, some unfinished business, in short… Nina is nearing the end of her penultimate year at the academy, so I have to start thinking about her future after it.” 

“That’s good. You should think more about Nina and act less like Cesar… But thank you for what you’ve done for my family.”

“Oh? Did they manage to buy the tuna brain?” Vicente quickly understood what Nova had in mind.

“Hmm.” She nodded at him, thinking that he had killed Viscount Symons.

But Nova didn’t ask anything about it, not wanting to question Cesar’s identity any further. “Myra sent me a message before I left Millfall. She told me about it and asked me to thank you.”

He smiled at her. “It’s a pleasure to help.”

When he had finished dressing, he stopped next to Nova and took one of her hands, placing a spatial ring on it.

“Don’t refuse, Nova. That is for an emergency. If you find yourself in a bad situation in the near future, use this. As much as it will lose its value over time, it could be useful until you become a Mid-level Mage.”

She picked it up, quickly realizing it was an arsenal of useful weapons for Mages, with enough ammunition to kill a battalion.

Knowing this was Vicente’s specialty, she didn’t doubt its usefulness and thanked him before saying goodbye.

Two went their separate ways, not knowing if they would ever meet again.
