The moment his men fired their weapons, Vicente used one of his special spells and immediately pinned the creature's legs to the ground while increasing the amount of metal on its body.

Doing this to immobilize it, Vicente focused on the creature's wings, the greatest weapon it had to defend itself, attack, and escape.

Not only that but there were no vital organs in its wings!

Using them to increase the amount of metal on it was the best Vice could do without slowing down his men, who were shooting at the creature's vital points.

Even though they couldn't kill it to not interfere with the possible absorption of its pentagram by one of these men, the group unloaded the ammunition in their weapons into that creature.

It was very sturdy, and only by doing so could they wound it enough to create a chance for one of them to kill it!

Several bullets from different directions entered its body around where it had fallen as it struggled on the ground, screaming in pain and trying to get away.

Meanwhile, Rory was a few feet above the creature on a tree branch, using his explosive ability to increase the effectiveness of the attacks of the men in his group.

Boom!

Another explosion erupted in the creature's chest and back, causing it to wriggle more violently as its precious feathers fell off, gradually revealing its white skin.

The moment he saw several superficial wounds on the creature's back, but one deeper wound, Vice smiled and said. "Colt, be quick! Kill it with this perforation!"

Hearing this, Colt looked at the hole one of his companions' bullets had made in the creature's back, where a trail of blood ran around an area full of superficial wounds.

After all the group's efforts, the Harpy's mighty coat had been pierced by a single bullet!

As impressive as this was, it was also a sign of temporary weakness!

Unable to withstand so many simultaneous attacks and with its defenses weak enough to allow a bullet to enter its body, such a Harpy was vulnerable.

At Vicente's warning, all the men stopped firing and took the opportunity to reload their weapons as Colt slowly approached it.

Seeing this, Vicente moved the metal on the creature, forcing it to the ground and holding it so it wouldn't escape.

"Be quick! It's weakened but not finished!" He shouted at the man, encouraging him to run into the creature's back as he switched weapons, picking up a sword and pointing it at the hole in the beast's back.

"Aaah! Die!" He shouted as he used his magic skill, which was based on the wind element and could boost his speed and attack strength.

He moved faster, and mana shone more brightly around that sword.

Puff!

When it hit the unprotected skin of the Harpy, it stopped struggling to escape and tried to raise its head while letting out a long, painful scream.

But having struck the heart of his target, Colt, as he pulled his sword from the Harpy's back, saw it lose all its strength and finally collapse to the ground, no longer squirming.

Vicente removed his metals and watched the creature die 10 seconds after Colt's final attack.

As each of the men in the group held their positions, Rory saw an orange glow emerge from such a body, the first of its kind he had ever seen.

As the Harpy died, the pentagram it had been nurturing separated from its being and emerged from its back, slowly floating in the air like a hologram.

From there, a mana pulse appeared as the orange pentagram rotated on its axis in the air at a slow speed.

It had with it a terrible sensation but was also quite powerful for each of these men.

'Impressive.' One of the men in the group who had already absorbed his second pentagram thought to himself, imagining that in the future, he might be able to absorb one as good as the one in front of him.

Meanwhile, Rory couldn't help but notice the remnants of that Harpy in the orange pentagram that was now free to be absorbed.

'Colt will have to be firm. Overcoming that beast's will won't be easy.' The young redhead thought to himself, aware that how it had died had not been dignified.

What they had done was nothing to be proud of. They had acted against a creature stronger than all of them, which was a good thing from any point of view. But they had weapons that made their actions easier, and many allies acted against a single being.

At the same time, the Harpy was not an enemy but their hunting target.

So, the resentment it had generated before its death, which was associated with its pentagram, was not simple.

If Colt had defeated it alone, without any help from his companions, he would probably have absorbed the pentagram with ease since he had an orange talent. But since that hadn't been the case, and the whole group had helped him, he now had to win a new battle.

"Colt, don't waste time. Start absorbing that pentagram." Vicente said to the man, who was momentarily mesmerized by the beauty of the orange pentagram in front of him.

Swallowing his saliva and putting aside the anticipation he felt inside, he promptly sat down over the Harpy's corpse with his legs crossed, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

Absorbing pentagrams was simple. All one had to do was get into a comfortable position, circulate their mana in their Magic Gem, and act as if they were meditating as usual. The only difference with this meditation was that one had to "open up" the space in their gem for a new pentagram, which, of course, put them in a vulnerable position.

As Colt did so, his orange Magic Gem immediately glowed brightly, and his first pentagram appeared around his body.

Then the mana in the surrounding area began to enter his Magic Gem, while the orange pentagram above him trembled, feeling strongly attracted to the free 'space' in the body below.

A magician wouldn't have to try to force the pentagram into them and connect with it. In situations like this, the pentagram, with a similar elemental affinity to the magician, would feel the magical attraction to that being and move toward it naturally.

Pentagrams could not exist outside of an appropriate "container" for long.

So when it sensed something compatible, the pentagram soon found its way to Colt.

However, this was only the first step in the process of absorbing Magic Pentagrams!
