The reason for the lightning giant's astonishing power surpassing that of the rest of Lightning Spiritual Totems was due to the Neo-Demon generals' powerful consciousnesses and control over the laws.
The Divinity Faith Army's soldiers did not hesitate to give their lives for the chance to stop the lightning giant. Still, none of them could make a dent in the Soul Origin Formation, and the white armored warriors blocked any attack coming from the stronghold with the power to produce real damage.
Numir, who took the position of the Lightning Spiritual Totem's heart, roared as the giant unleashed a strike full of destructive force that devastated the stronghold's center.
Now that the Neo-Demons disabled the stronghold's power core, the lack of power deactivated the city defenses, and the Divinity Faith Army's soldiers no longer enjoyed a constant supply of natural energy infused directly into their energy pools.
The Magi did not waste this opportunity, and they all began to unleash their most potent attacks, butchering wave after wave of enemies.
Although the Divinity Faith Army's soldiers would not have hesitated to keep fighting until the death in the na of their Divine Lord, the mont the priests gave the retreat order, they all escaped using their maximum speed.
Dozens of thousands more perished during the retreat, but many still managed to escape.
Numir stood in the sky above the broken stronghold and stared at the Divinity Faith Army's soldiers running away but did not chase after them.
A cornered animal is extrely dangerous, especially if the ones put in dead-end are zealots who think dying in the na of their Divine Lord would make them ascend to heaven.
Shiyu appeared by Numir's side and began to report the number of casualties and killings.
"According to the tadpoles, our people are responsible for thirty-nine percent of the seven hundred and eighty-five thousand three hundred and twenty-two Divinity Faith Army's soldiers killed. We lost twelve thousand Rank 3 drones. As for our actual casualties, thirty-one of our brothers and sisters have perished."
The kill-death ratio was unbelievable. If the Neo-Demon Army counted the drones, more than fifteen enemies perished for every casualty they endured.
And if they only counted the Neo-Demons lost, every casualty on their side ant more than ten thousand enemies dead!
Although the Neo-Demons' trendous battle power, armors, runes, and regeneration abilities played an essential role in their survival, Numir's tactics were the main reason for their incredibly low death ratio.
Anyone else would have felt delighted if they obtained those results after a battle between two armies containing each one million elite soldiers that determined the destiny of a continent, but Numir could not help but sigh.
The value of every Neo-Demon's life was unquantifiable, and even one single casualty was one too many.
Of course, Numir was not naive enough to think she could go through this war without losing comrades, and she quickly regained her composure.
"Secure their remains and restore their bodies. Although their deaths are supposed to be unfixable due to Gods' Tomb's laws, no one knows what could happen in the future. In the worst case, we can give them a proper burial."
"Already done. We already collected our people's remains, and we will send them back to the Magi World once the reparations are over." Shiyu's thoughts were similar to those of Numir and had already handled the Neo-Demons' remains.
As the won spoke, a young man approached them. He carried a large sword the size of his body, golden armor, and a glowing crown.
Samuel would resemble a holy knight if it wasn't for his thick blood aura and killing intent. The power of the laws vibrated around him, and it seed the Royal used a unique technique to prevent his advance to Rank 4.
"Lady Numir, Lady Shiyu, our victory is now complete. With the main stronghold under our control, my troops in the rest of the Astaroth continent managed to secure the smaller cities. I must admit I had so reservations about the bold plan you two presented to , but everything worked perfectly."
The bold plan Samuel spoke of referred to Numir's idea of sneaking into the Astaroth continent's center, avoiding the forces guarding the periphery, and attacking the Divinity Army's main stronghold and headquarters.
Everybody who took this mission was an elite soldier, with no one beneath Rank 3. Still, despite their quality, their numbers were low considering the hundreds of millions of soldiers on the continent. Their situation would have been dangerous if they failed to secure the stronghold or allowed reinforcent to arrive.
"According to our previous agreent, half of this city would be under the Daybreak Clan's control along with a third of the continent."
Both won nodded to Samuel, and there was a positive light in their eyes. The young Royal not only was a great warrior and leader, but he was also very straightforward, making any deal with him easy to fulfill.
According to the information they managed to recollect about him, Samuel was a distant relative of King Roku.
The young Royal was just one remote branch of King Roku's large family tree, but his tactical mind and talent made him shine above the others allowing him to earn his current position.
"We have now pierced deep within the Divinity Faith Army's territories and beco the Magi's Divine Slayer Force's spearhead. The mont my great grandfather and the rest of the powerhouses can enter Gods' Tomb, this place will beco the core of the battles, allowing us to gather a lot of rits."
Samuel's eyes had a sparkle of desire and ambition. He knew he would have no real part in the next phase of the Divine Extermination War, but the better foundation he established for the Aeternum Empire's forces, the greater his standing would be in the future.
Of all the great organizations' Champions, Samuel's performance had been by far the best. Not only did he control many more terrains and killed countless Divinity Faith Army's soldiers, but his own personal rits also were astonishing and more than enough to refine his soul and body.
"Although we have won and decimated the enemy forces, we must not be careless. I doubt the Gods would sit by as our domain over the continents increases.? The greater our control over the Transitional Plane, the easier it will be for the Magi World's laws and natural forces to invade the Divinity World."
Samuel imdiately adopted a solemn expression when he heard those words. He knew very well that the Gods did not care about the lives of their subjects, but the Divinity World's integrity affected their subsistence, and they would do anything to protect it.
"We should establish a powerful force on the border and direct most of our resources there so that we can establish so Magic Towers as soon as possible."
The young Royal knew the danger those who would embark on that mission would face. He glanced at the won but imdiately discarded the idea of asking for them to send their Soul Origin Formations there as he knew it would be futile.
"I would like for you to redirect three million of your clan white armored warriors into the border. There, they will gather with five million of my Aeternum Empire's Magi and establish a barrier."
Samuel already understood the nature of the white armored warriors and knew that unlike the rest of the Daybreak Clan's mbers, their lives' value was quantifiable.
Numir and Shiyu looked at each other and nodded. While the number of Rank 3 drones was not enough to fulfill that request, there were still millions of Rank 2 whose use was limited.
Like that, a great force began to amass in the border between the Astaroth continent and the Botis continent.
