903 More Enemies Awake

As soon as Vicente positioned himself for his group's stay in the old Congregation of Revelations' bunker, his companions sealed off the place and fortified its defensescapable of withstanding even Archmage assaults.

Each of the eight companions took up positions in different parts of the bunker, which had sheltered thousands of Congregation members in the past.

Vicente settled into the main cultivation room and used some of his resources to activate the area's formations, enriching the space with dense mana and abundant elements.

The mana in this bunker was naturally thick, and the elements in the air were far richer than those in the south. With the formations activated, the room became one of the finest man-made cultivation spaces, rivaling even those used by Advanced Archmages.

Vicente closed his eyes, feeling the surge of power in the air. This wasn't the elf tribe's mystical grove where he had cultivated for a week, but for a man-made structure, it was unparalleled. He could almost feel the mana seeping into his veins, energizing him for the challenges ahead.

While the Congregation of Revelations may have come to an end, it is worth noting that in the past, there were Advanced Archmages and even more powerful individuals who were members of this organization. Although the last generation of members may not have been exceptionally remarkable, the history of the Congregation includes formidable individuals.

Places like this were used by individuals stronger than those Vicente had encountered on his journey here!

After a brief observation of how incredible this room was, Vicente began his studies.

Learning new spells and job techniques wasn't the hardest thing in the world. It required the student to first study the theory and then follow the step-by-step process of putting those ideas into practice for the first time. The first activations of a spell or technique were usually either feeble or powerful, beyond the magician's control. Mastering them meant control, correct mana expenditure, and efficiency in relation to the mana spent.

All of this could be achieved through repetition. If you used a spell once, you'd be a novice. If you repeated it 10,000 times, you would reach the level of a master. But that didn't mean it was enough to repeat and repeat tirelessly. Some would be better with the same amount of attempts as others. Aptitude, talent, elemental affinity, and other things also mattered a lot in the position one would reach with spells and techniques.

As he studied these elemental spells, but also the techniques related to his profession as a blacksmith, Vicente would soon test them with his mana, creating fantastic effects.

As Professor Julian had often said at the academy time, Vicente had the innate potential to become a scholar.

Among them were not only Mid-level Paragons but also a High-level Paragon of the superior vampire race and a fearsome monster with Advanced Archmage cultivation.

In the main tent of the camp, the two strongest beings sat opposite each other. The tent, adorned with rich carpets and ancient decorations, exuded the eerie elegance that vampires cherished.

Two Mid-level Paragons stood at the entrance, one of them holding a small scroll in his right hand, a smile playing on his pale lips.

"Elders, I bring good news from The Ivory Desert," said the smiling creature, baring his sharp teeth. "Some elders have just emerged from their caves, having succeeded in their attempts to advance. Six of the seven newly awakened elders are currently on their way here. They should reach our position in a little over a month."

The High-level Paragon, whose cultivation matched that of the newly awakened elders, opened his eyes with keen interest. This was the signal for their next battle against Vicente Fuller.

With several High-level Paragons at his side, he was sure they would intimidate Vicente Fuller.

"Perfect. Jaz, I hope some of your colleagues are in the mood to take on Vicente Fuller. We need at least two Advanced Archmages from your coalition before we attack the bastard," said the strongest vampire, his gaze fixed on the Manticora in front of him.

The creature nodded eagerly. "Our coalition will support all your requests, my lord. You will have your two Advanced Archmages in no more than a month."

The vampires smiled, and the two Mid-level Paragons left to attend to their own affairs, while the Manticora made a note for her fellow coalition members.

In just over a month, it would be time for them to test Vicente Fuller!

This time, they were confident they could defeat Vicente Fuller!

But even if the unlikely happened, with their forces led by vampire Archmages and monsters Master Archmages, that wasn't the last card Vicente's enemies had up their sleeves!
