152 Harvest the materials from the demons body (1/2)
Almost all of the Sunlight Warrior and Neo-Demons were carrying at least two demons as they flew to the base, as for the massive body of the Goristro, this one was moved by the three Brain Golems
It did not take long for the Daybreak army to reach their underground base, and once there, Dante used the three Brain Golems to affect the mind of those demons and put them in a state of deep unconsciousness.
After handling the prisoners, Dante analyzed the state of the Daybreak army, after all, even if there were no casualties that did not mean they still have their original battle power.
The Sunlight Champions and Neo-Demons at Rank 1 were the ones who could heal the fastest since their wounds were not severe and could be treated with the pills and potions at their disposal.
But the situation among the Rank 2 Neo-Demons was different. As the main force against more than a dozen Rank 2 demons, Sophia, Rax, and Kilo had accumulated a great number of injuries but the most serious part was they exhausting their energy pools, especially Sophia.
The one who was in the worst condition was Ezequiel. In his fight against the enraged Rank 3 demon, not only did he took an immense amount of physical damage but also the flames of the Goristro had invaded his body.
If it was anyone else, they would have to focus all of their attention on fighting against that flame, but Ezequiel's body was filled with powerful lightning at a cellular level, so he was automatically purging that harmful power, but still, it tires him and consumes his energy reserves.
Dante's condition was not good either. He had not taken any damage during the fight, but his Abyss Aura and Sun Force were practically empty, so trying to accelerate the speed of healing of the others was not possible.
After calculating the most efficient path to follow, Dante spoke to the army.
”We will rest for eighteen hours, and then continue our exploration. Since we are not in our top condition, we will be extra careful and in case an enemy as powerful as the demonic horde appears again, we will avoid them and wait until we are fully recovered.”
Dante spoke with a commanding tone, but that was directed to the Rank 1 members of the army, in which he manipulated their every decision on the battlefield.
But things were different with the Rank 2 Neo-Demons, on whose fights his strategies have not much effect since they are few in number and their battle instincts were more precise and faster than his instructions.
So he looks at them and seeing that they agree with his plan, he carries on.
Everybody used every single second they have, either eating food from powerful magic creatures to increase the speed at which their energy pool replenished or using potions to heals their wounds, before returning to the surface and continue with the exploration.
Before the battle with the horde, they have already secured 80% of the area designated to them, so even though they were now moving very slow, it only took three more days before finishing.
During that time they did not found any true threat and their enemies were only small groups of demons and weak Heavenly race settlements.
The two groups composed by Magi had also finished their mission not long ago, but unlike Dante's flawless victory, they had taken casualties and they were all in their fights against demons.
One Magi group fought against a demonic horde led by two Advanced Rank 3 Demons. Those demons bloodline were very weak so the five Rank 3 Magi did not have a problem defeating them and were able to capture one alive.
They lost nineteen Rank 1 and one Rank 2 Magi in the fight against the horde of more than three thousand demons. This could be considered excellent since the ratio of death was beneath 4% and most of the Magi were thankful for the Sun Tadpole in their hands that were constantly giving them advice during the fight.
It was the other Magi group the one who got calamitous losses. Their enemy was a horde led by a single Master Rank 3 demon and due to the arrogance of the four Rank 3 Magi, from the start of the fight, they intended to capture it alive, so they contained themselves.
This proved fatal when the demon, in his rage, had chosen to self destruct taking with him an Advanced Rank 3 Magus and nine Rank 2.
Luckily the explosion of the demon was very high in the sky and did not reach those Rank 1 Magi, so their losses only amounted to twenty-one.
The death of a Rank 3 Magus, even if he was at the Advanced level, was a heavy blow since there were only nine of them, unlike the ninety Rank 2 and nine hundred Rank 1.
Trying to resurrect the Rank 3 Magus was not possible since even if his soul was not destroyed by the laws, he was so powerful that will be needed someone at the Law Engraving Rank that mastered necromancy at a very high level.
