Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 16: Tragedy

BOOOOOOOOM!

When Malik's attack overcame the power of Dax's, the laser beam coming from the golden silhouette behind him finally overcame the sound barrier preventing it from hitting his enemy.

When this happened, the great bestial skeleton broke apart, exploding into countless pieces.

In that instant, while Vice's family tried to flee on foot, the remaining attacks of this conflict still victimized the surroundings, with the laser melting the ground and the sound waves still propagating through the air.

Nina had already collapsed in her father's arms, while Lauren had blood pouring from her ears, eyes, and nose.

Vicente was less badly off than them, but he could barely hear anything as he watched the nearby lawns being destroyed.

The laser was melting the ground they hit while the sound waves ravaged the smaller plants in the area.

But when the giant skeleton in the air exploded, fragments of it fell from the sky, forming something similar to a meteor shower.

When the first pieces of bones fell nearby, earthquakes would spread throughout the surroundings.

Pieces of soil would fly through the air while giving way to craters as large as carriages. At the same time, some of the nearby vegetation would begin to catch fire.

Vicente saw all this with a mere glance to the side as he felt the strong winds from the area moving his hair during this escape attempt.

Boom!

His family's carriage was hit by one of those pieces of bone, exploding into countless pieces.

'Damn it! What's going on? Why were we involved in this?' He thought, sweating profusely, with a pain in his chest.

Boom!

Another piece of bone fell next to where he was passing by with his family, and they all promptly changed direction.

But even as they did so, everyone there was covered in dirt, getting totally dirty as they tried to escape.

'That's not fair! Why do our plans have to be disrupted and our lives put at risk just because of a fight from people we don't even know?' He looked up, remembering the voices he had heard before he had his ears hurt.

Meanwhile, he saw the faces of those men, one middle-aged and black-haired man and the other relatively young, blond, and blue-eyed.

As he turned to look at his fleeing family, thinking to tell his father what he had heard and seen, he saw something out of his control happening.

Suddenly, a splinter of bone as big as a horse fell on top of where his mother was passing!

In an instant, Vice felt his spine go cold, and a tightness in his heart almost made him momentarily stop breathing as he saw his mother and that piece of bone above her.

The next instant, his mother could no longer be seen while that bone had sunk against the ground.

"NOOOOO!"

Andrew saw this terrible scene developing before him and screamed with all his breath, even with Nina and Lauren in his arms.

"What is it? What happened?" Lauren screamed. "I can't see."

But Andrew was falling to his knees on the floor and couldn't say anything.

Everything he had in his mind had vanished in that instant amidst the most excruciating pain a person could go through surged through his mind.

His mind was suddenly cut off from reality as he lost the greatest love of his life.

His pain was not physical but emotional, the worst kind of all!

Tears dripped from Vicente's eyes as he grieved, stopping himself from moving to look at the spot where Kate had disappeared forever.

"MOM!"

He struggled against the warrior carrying him, trying to get loose and run to where his mother should be.

"Let me go! Let me go! I'm going to save my mother!"

The man holding Vicente felt terrible in this situation but did not let this boy go. He ignored this child's kicks and punches and kept running, dodging the crater where Vice's mother and the coachman were crushed to death.

"Wesley, get Mr. Fuller. We can't leave them behind!" That warrior shouted to his companion further ahead.

That man looked back and quickly turned around, doing his best to catch up with their contractor.

Amid this, Vicente finally couldn't take it anymore and slowly decreased the strength in his strokes, feeling an immense urge to sleep.

'Mom... Mom... Where are you? Please don't leave me...'

With that last thought, Vicente collapsed, frustrated, afraid, but also angry and hating those behind this tragedy.

...

Six hours later...

After the battle between those powerful magicians, the group that had suffered the terrible consequences of being in the middle of someone else's battle finally managed to reach a quieter place.

After hours of running on foot, the two warriors managed to bring Vice, his sisters, and his father to the vicinity of a cave, where they were now sheltering from the previous phenomena.

After that great fight, the mana in the surroundings would be disturbed for the next few hours, so even after the fight was over, the surroundings of the battle were still suffering from the consequences of that confrontation.

Hence, the two men were now watching the entrance to that cave, sighing as they remembered what had just passed.

"Mage Sovereigns... I didn't think they were so strong." The weaker of the two Generals said, sighing as he saw the gray sky and some lightning on the horizon.

"A 4th stage magician is powerful!" His boss said. "And the clash of Sovereigns is not simple. For people like us to survive to tell the tale is already a great achievement!"

"Tell that to this family..." Wesley muttered as he looked back, watching in Andrew's direction.

This man had lost his pregnant wife right in front of his eyes!

How painful shouldn't that be?

But somehow, he had found the strength to care for his three wounded children and was at this moment caring for the most wounded of them all, Nina.

Nina was the smallest, so she had been the hardest hit of the three.

As for Lauren and Vice, Andrew was not sure how serious their situation was since he was not a doctor. But it was a fact that his eldest daughter lost her sight.

On the other hand, Vicent was in a deep sleep, and no one there knew whether he was seriously injured.

All they could say about him was that he was in pain as he mumbled his mother's name every few moments and shook vigorously.

"Sigh... That will be a long trip." Soren, the level 7 General, said in a low voice.
