130 Betting (2/2)

As Heinz was accepting those bets, all of a sudden he looks at Zatiel and after a moment he spoke again.

”I have another thing to bet, a Star Heart and ten personalized High Rank 3 runic sets, but I will only do it for the soul and body of a Void Creature with swallowing abilities”

Heinz's bet and request raised interest in a lot of the Soul Forgings, and they looked at the person in the dragon's head since he was the only one who in this place that could create runic sets.

Most of them were tempted since the Star Heart was something needed in any world war and although a High Rank 3 runic set was not useful for them, it will be a great reward for their most powerful people.

Unfortunately a Void Creature with swallowing abilities was not something ease to obtain and just when Heinz thought the bet was not going to happen a soft voice was heard.

”I am willing to bet but with the condition that in case I lose, I can buy those runic sets at a later time.”

Zitra was the one who spoke and she glanced at Zatiel before looking back at Heinz.

Heinz did not respond immediately, but after a second, he nodded.

With all the possible bet out of the way, they all look at the Rolo and were seeing how he was forming his army.

The one hundred Rank 1 Magus were all chosen from his original group, the ones he was more familiar with, despite not all of them being at the Master level.

His action made the rest of the strategists and some Soul Forging nod in approval. Although individual power was relevant, in a battle like this, it was more important to know your army's weaknesses and strengths and be able to make them act as one.

For the five Rank 2 slots, he chose four of the people of his original group and one from another.

The new integration was not very powerful and his strength was only at the Advanced level, something that raises questions since there were more powerful Rank 2 Magi in his original group.

Dante had also already selected his Sunlight Champions, with eighty Sunlight Warriors as the vanguard carrying a shield in their left hand and a spear in the right one, and twenty Sunlight Mages in the rear carrying each one a staff.

Both groups have activated their Ranks Spells, with the Sunlight Warrior using Sun Form, which allows them to partially transform their bodies into sun flames, giving them impressive speed and also diminishing any type of physical and magical damage that reach them.

The Sunlight Mages were using Sun Guard that created a dome of flames around them, shielding them from damage and also helping them channel faster their energy.

All of the people that were not going to fight, had retreated a safe distance and leaving only the two armies facing each other in the center.

The Magi army under Rolo was also in battle formation and had activated their Rank Spells, creating all sorts of phenomena around them.

Most Sunlight Champions had just entered the Advanced level of Rank 1 and were weaker than those Magus that were mostly at Master Rank 1, but that difference was mended by those armors and runes in their bodies, which were much better that of their opponents.

Although they had obtained this power by the use of external means, neither Rolo or the rest of the Magi thought there was something wrong with it since the equipment has always been a very important part of an army.

After all, who could be so stupid as to think that in a war, your enemy will not use their armors and weapons, just because they were better than yours.

Dante, along the three giant in black armor and the two dragons had raised into the sky, as did Rolo and his five Rank 2 Magus.

Around Dante, a Sun Domain appeared, and a bow made purely of golden flames was generated on his hand.

With both parties having finished de their preparations, they were waiting for the Soul Forging existences to cover all of them with their consciousness.

With their consciousness around every single person fighting, those Soul Forging could generate a membrane that will save anyone in case a fatal blow was to land on them, of course, that will mean they will need to leave the fight.

Thanks to this, both armies will be able to fight without any restrictions and showing their true capabilities.

Rolo and Dante were looking at each other, ready to make their move the instant they felt the consciousness touch them.

Without alerting no one and with an incredible speed a red and green consciousness, covered both armies and signaling the start of the battle.
