132 Leaving the Magi World (1/2)
In each Sunlight Mage, a great rune on their chest was activated, allowing them to increase their output of energy, enhancing the power of their spell.
The Sun Beam was very powerful and Rolo did not dare to take it head-on, but due to the speed of the attack, he could not dodge it. So he channeled all of his energy and made dozens of shields of ice appear in front of him.
The shields of ice were able to momentarily resist the Sun Beam, but those Sunlight Mages did not stop charging the spell and Rolo knew that he could not hold on for much longer against a spell that was using the energy pool of twenty Rank 1 life forms.
Seeing that he was about to be defeated, and although it would have been better to wait a little more, Rolo knew that his time was running out so he sent a command to the last Rank 2 Magus under his command.
'Do it now!'
Right behind Dante's Sun Domain, a man materialized himself. He was the Advanced Rank 2 Magus who had been standing by Rolo��s side during the entire battle.
The reason why Rolo had selected this man was due to him being a very talented user of light and illusion magic.
He was also a very experienced assassin, and that was proven when he used the blind spot that the two massive fireballs created in his enemy's vision to replace himself with an illusion and turn invisible in order to reach Dante's back and make a surprise attack.
This was Rolo's safety plan, and although this was technically a test between the two of them, to see how he had the best skills to lead the army. If the commander cannot maintain his life, then he is not fit to lead the battlefield.
His speed was impressive and his hand was filled with light energy and it was about to grab the back of Dante's head when all of a sudden he felt an immense pain in his head and he blacks out for an instant.
The next thing the man saw was the three ten meters tall giants covered in black armor, one on his left, one on his right and one above him, launching a fist bigger than his chest filled with golden flames against him.
When those fists impacted, they generated an explosion of golden flames with enough power to pulverize a Master Rank 2 life form. Luckily for the Magus, a green membrane appeared, saving his life.
During the entire battle, Dante's expression has never changed, and although the illusion of the Magus could have tricked most people, his Eye of Life and Creation showed him clearly the lack of life force in the figure accompanying Rolo.
He even was able to see through the invisibility spell and had been waiting for him to reach close enough so the giants could attack.
Those ten meters tall giants covered in black armor that could use golden fire were Brain Golems, a life form sprouted from an Elder Brain and are supposed to be their ultimate guardians. They are made of modified brain tissue, in which cells can work as neurons and muscles.
The Brain Golems can use their physical bodies and some basic Animus offensive abilities to fight against an enemy.
Usually, a Novice Rank 3 Elder Brain should be able to create three Brain Golems at Advanced Rank 2, but Dante modified them, by using an immense amount of golden fire to affect their cells during their creation, increasing their power to Peak Rank 2 and giving them the ability to use golden fire in their attacks.
What Dante liked the most about them was that he was able to use them as processing centers, greatly increasing his cognitive abilities, and they will replace the help that the Elder Brain gives him, when he enters the new world.
Due to the immense distance between the Magi World and the one they will invade, the connection between Dante and the part of his consciousness inside the Elder Brain will be too weak to use the boost in cognitive abilities that the brain provides
It took Dante a long time to create them, and they were the reason why they were delayed and made the rest of the army wait.
After defeating that assassin Magus, Dante sends an order making the Sun Tadpole glow.
Immediately after this happened, the two Neo-Demons in the sky and the eighty Sunlight Warriors made a coordinated retreat. As for the Sunlight Mages, they deactivated their spell and returned to formation.
No Magus either on the sky or in the ground chase after their opponents They all were more than happy to stop fighting and they saw how the opposite army had returned to their battle formation with not a single member missing.
One army had lost three Rank 2 members and almost forty Rank 1, and the other had lost no one and not counting the small injuries in some of them, they were no different from before the fight started.
No matter how you see it, the absolute winner in this battle was Dante and the Daybreak army
”Ahh, I admit my defeat, your commanding, and strategies skills are superior to mine.” Rolo knew that continuing fighting will only make his loss more striking, and was grateful for his opponent stopping his attack.
