119 Advance to Rank 2 (1/2)
It was only when Dante saw that Sophia and Ezequiel had killed the enemies and, not counting the wound on Sophia's arm, they were in top condition, that he rested and deactivated his Mind Force.
He knew that these two people were the ones his father trusted the most and that had followed him from the beginning.
Despite being of the same race and having a more powerful bloodline, Dante could not help but be impressed by the power they were able to display.
After all, he channeled the power of ten Abyssal Blast and only was able to eliminate a Novice Eye Lord, meanwhile, Sophia alone was able to severely injure Eye Lord at the Master level and kill a Rank 2 Magus without any help.
And Ezequiel's ability to hide from the perception of an Eye Lord and act in the exact moment when he could make the most damage was impressive.
The moment he relaxes, Dante feels a wave of tiredness assaulting him, due to the fact of the great stress and energy that using his Mind Force to find those three enemies took.
The reason Dante was able to find them was due to him using one of the disciplines that an Animus can practice, known as Clairsentience.
This discipline focuses on developing an Animus extrasensory perception that gives them the ability to gain information about an object, person, location, or events, and if you are talented and powerful enough, it was not restricted to the present time.
As an Animus, Dante's perception was impressive and although he was not able to detect the presence of those three enemies at the beginning, he felt a great feeling of hostility coming in his direction.
Once that happened and seeing that he was not able to localize the people, Dante knew that they were not only hiding but also very powerful, so he immediately focused all of his Mind Power into Clairsentience and informed Ezequiel and Sophia about the danger before giving the command to the kobolds to be ready to act.
Due to him being only a Rank 0 Animus, he was barely able to detect the three of them, and it was only when they were about to show up that their presence became more clear, and he saw their location.
If his Rank as an Animus had been greater, then he would have detected them before they even got close to the horde, and according to the information he had about this path of power, when Clairsentience reaches a high enough level, you could even glimpse a couple of second into the instant future.
Although seeing two seconds into the future did not seem like much help, it could allow you to predict your enemies' first move and make a perfect response, taking advantage of any possible flaw they could have.
Of course, there were several limitations to this power, but still, it is incredibly useful and a killing tool if it is applied in the right form.
”Prince, should we contact our brothers, and tell them to return in case of a new threat present itself.”
The one who asked that was the strongest of the kobolds that were following Dante.
”No need, with uncle EZ in here we are able to respond to any threat that a Rank 2 individual could pose, besides the possibility of their sending more people at Rank 2 just for the sake of eliminating this horde is not likely. There may be some Rank 1, but our people are more than able to handle them.”
After some thought Dante rejects the kobold plan. Even so, he contacted the rest of the groups that were searching for tribes in Wasteland.
”Be aware of a possible danger coming in your direction, in case anything happens, contact us immediately. Speed up the search and come here immediate once you have found your target, so we can start moving the horde to the tower”
”Yes, Prince.” The leaders of the teams responded immediately before going back to their work.
Once that was out of the way, Dante examined the current condition of the horde, and when he saw their expressions, his eyes narrowed a little
'There is an upside to this situation. They were able to see a display of our power right in front of them.'
There was shock in every member of the horde as they still could not fully process the event that just happened.
Out of nowhere, two people show up and they were going to launch a spell powerful enough to kill almost all of them, but they were not only stopped but also killed with their bodies disintegrated.
This proves to them that the woman with crystal wings and the man covered in lightning were powerful enough to kill all of them even if they work together.
”The threat has been neutralized and as long you remain under our watch we can assure your safety. We will wait for other groups to arrive before going to the Daybreak Magic Tower. In the meantime, you should rest.”
Dante's voice was calm, but there was a great strength in his words that made every member of the horde that heard them obey.

Zatiel had no idea of what was happening in Wasteland, but from the moment he gave the instruction to Dante and sent Sophia and Ezequiel to help him, he stopped concerning with that completely.
