Three more days in the Dwarves Tribe were enough for Vicente to confirm Hervi's position of leadership and bring the tribe back to its old relationship with the fairies.

No one of the tribe knew that the fairies had discovered a betrayal and acted against them, and Vicente intended to keep it that way for the time being. Whether the fairies would bring it up later, well, that wasn't his problem. The fact was that the Dwarves Tribe now had a group of leaders with contracts with Vicente, something that would guarantee him control of the group, but also their subservience to the fairies after his departure from Amae.

So, with only about a week since he arrived at the core of the Dwarves Tribe, Vicente, and his companions left the place this morning, heading off on their hunt.

Messages from the fairies said that they would find a group of powerful and interesting creatures to become their eighth pentagram on the outskirts of the dwarves' domains. As such, as soon as he had stabilized the situation at the core of the Dwarves Tribe, he declared he would set off to hunt, not long after which he got a group of dwarves to guide them through the region.

Hervi and the others obviously stayed behind, each of them wishing in their own way never to see Vicente again.

They had a mixed feeling of gratitude and guilt, disliking the fact that they had been involved in the murders of the strongest dwarves in the tribe, but also grateful that they had been allowed to stay alive with their people. Others would have exterminated them, but Vicente had potentially saved them from this dark fate.

Vicente didn't care about the feelings of those left behind. He merely ordered Hervi to collaborate with the fairies' current actions and help undermine the elementals' strength.

He temporarily put the tribe and the war aside, focused on obtaining his eighth magical essence!

...

On the second day of Vicente and his group's hunt, they had already encountered three 8th stage battles, with creatures compatible with him on each occasion.

Vicente naturally beat his opponents, having defeated them after the enemies themselves threatened his group when he had no intention of hunting them. Consequently, those creatures died and their pentagrams disappeared from the island without being absorbed.

Today the group was entering its second night of hunting when Vicente found the tracks of a target. He ran after what he thought was potentially the bearer of his own pentagram, making his hunting companions follow him as they tried their hardest not to be left behind.

Passing through the sparse vegetation of this mountainous area, they came across a peak covered in gray clouds, from which purple lightning streaked down, painting the local sky with the picture of a storm in the making.

Strong winds lifted fallen leaves into the air, shaking the trees and bushes with force, creating an agitated symphony capable of disturbing the fearful.

On top of one of the peaks there, a purple-eyed bird, as big as a human house, stood with its wings spread, staring menacingly into their domain.

When they saw this creature, the dwarves in the group froze, immediately recognizing one of the most formidable magical beings in the region.

"Violet Storm Eagle!" said one dwarf, his lips going dry as his face turned pale as if he had just seen a ghost in place of the 6-Star Grand Magus beast in front of them.

"Why the terror?" Larissa identified the supreme respect of these locals and promptly questioned.

"This creature is at the limit of what our island can withstand, senior. That means it has a 40% or more chance of having a violet essence."

Being at a level and having a cyan, indigo, or violet essence would totally change the power level of a magical creature. Normally, those who had the maximum quality pentagram for their cultivation range were those who had powerful foundations and were usually more challenging, sometimes able to fight against those who were stronger. Those with less than the maximum quality for their level were those with weaker foundations, who usually had difficulty against even individuals of the same level.

Obviously, the quality of a pentagram wasn't everything, but it reflected this difference in power very well. Vicente, for example, was at the absolute peak of his level, while most of the Light Cay natives were a few steps below the limit of their cultivations.

The creature looking in Vicente's direction was now close to the apex for its level, which potentially placed it as one of the strongest in Amae!

Larissa understood the dwarves' horror and raised her own guard. She wasn't like the dwarves accompanying them, but she wasn't like Vicente either. Opponents like that could easily prove fatal to her.

Rex did the same, not having had to listen to the dwarves' explanation to understand how formidable Vicente's target was today. Beasts were naturally more sensitive to this kind of thing, allowing him to prepare seconds before his allies.

"Boss, even if you want to give up, I'm afraid she won't allow it. She's already set you up as a target to be taken down," said one dwarf, recognizing the offensive way the creature was physically positioned as a clear sign it was preparing for battle.

Vicente raised his lips in a satisfied bow, moving the mana within his body in preparation. "Perfect. It was something like this I wanted," he said as the storm showed itself more intensely, revealing the creature's combat instinct.

"Prepare to hide. I'm going to hunt for my next essence." With those bold words, he leaped into the air, flying at the creature atop the peak in his eyes, as pentagrams condensed around him.

Vicente's allies scrambled for cover in the surrounding area, none of them daring anything as foolish as putting themselves in the position of trying to help him.

They were there to help him and guide him in things that could make a difference, not in a battle they didn't stand a chance in.

And so, he moved his powers, showing his two magical forms, as 14 pentagrams appeared around him.

The bird also moved, making only one pentagram appear, but a single one that made everyone in the vicinity nod in recognition of its power.

A rare violet pentagram showed itself in this mountainous region of Amae today, intensifying the atmospheric storm.
