149 Daybreak vs Demon (2/2)

After saying those words, Dante led the warriors of the Daybreak clan out of the force fields and they deployed their full speed as they fly away.

The same happened with the other two groups composed by Magi, both led by those at Rank 3.

It did not take long for the only people under the force field to be the seven Soul Forging existences and Zatiel.

The seven Rank 4 needed to be under the tower cloaking powers, in order to avoid the possibility of any of them being detected by the members of the Heavenly race. But it did not really matter since the distance to those groups was something that Heinz could cover very fast by teleporting.

As for Zatiel, by using Clairsentience he had detected that the tracking force searching for him was still active, so he did not participate. Besides, the help he could provide in this mission was not much.

But still, he made that Dante update him as they advanced.

Each group took less than a day to arrive at their destination despite having to travel approximately four thousand kilometers.

This was thanks to those at Rank 1 using spells like Dispel Fatigue or some pills, so they could maintain their march at full speed for more than twenty hours.

Once they reached their destination, they made an underground base.

That will be the place where the prisoners will be kept, since carrying them as they explore is not an option and make trips to send back to the tower each time they capture a group is not practical.

Once this was over, they rested for three hours and continue their mission.

Just like Zatiel said, the settlements of the Heavenly race they found were very weak and they were able to easily capture them.

They also found groups of demons, but most of them were not too strong and with their advantage in number and battle power, they defeat and capture them easily.

It was on the fourth day than a true battle occurred against a demonic horde of more than three thousand.

They were in the area that corresponded to the Daybreak clan to secure. Dante was able to found them without being detected and he located their lair in a cave.

Most of them were very weak, barely reaching Rank 1, but the amount of those at Rank 2 was not small.

After seeing them for a day, he detected their patter of conduct. The horde leaves the cave in the morning and they hunted magic creatures or searched for members of the Heavenly race.

The only one that never left the caves was their leader, and Dante could feel thanks to his Animus abilities a great power coming from him.

He was possibly hiding and making those weaker ones bring him food.

They choose to attack, outside of a forest when the horde has finished their hunt and was returning to the cave carrying all sorts of magic creatures.

Dante had hidden explosive devices, and when the horde passes through there, he activates them.

The explosions were not very strong but they cover a great range, severely weakening most of the demons that were already tired from their battles.

Before the horde could locate their new enemies, several beams of chaotic energy landed on their most powerful warriors, along with hundreds of spears that exploded with golden flames.

Five minutes later the Sunlight Champions and the Neo-Demons were battling against the demons on the ground, while Sophia, Rax, Kilo, and two of the Brain Golems were in the sky fighting against those Rank 2 demons.

The three Rank 2 Neo-Demons had not active their runic sets since the battle will take a lot of time and they will be fighting multiple opponents, so they could not let themselves be exhausted in less than a minute.

Dante was helping those at the ground firing hundred of arrows each minute, making sure no casualty happens among his people, and one of the Brain Golems was by his side protecting him.

Even though they were totally dominating their opponent, Dante's face was very solemn and the reason presents itself ten minutes later in the form of a roar.

A towering creature four hundred meters tall approached through the sky. It had overly long arms and a demonic bison's head with forward sweeping horns and fire all around his body.

This was a Goristro, a very powerful demon known for his extraordinary physical power. It was flying at an impressive speed despite his size and it seems that he intended to crash into the battlefield, damaging all parties by creating a blast of fire.

But before he could reach the Sunlight Champions and Neo-Demons, a winged man that seems to be made of lightning with a three hundred meters tall body filled runic inscriptions and diamond as skin, appeared by his side and strike him in the head with so much power that a sonic boom was created.
