With a Divinity Realm expert guiding them, it didn't take long for them to arrive at Gardo's army. There, Rean saw another twenty or so Elental Space Realm experts, with a mix of humanoids, spirits, and demon beasts. Gardo wasn't lying. He did lose quite a few last ti, so this mix was due to the reinforcents he got from other arms.
Gardo ca down, releasing Rean, Kentucky, and Kenny near everyone else. "There will be no complicated strategy. We don't have ti to go around and look for gaps or flaws in their defense. There is an army outside, led by Froskley, a Divinity Realm Devil. I'll be the one to hold him down. There shouldn't be more than two Space-Ti Realm devils, while we have three. Still, don't let your guard down. They have the territorial advantage and the changed environnt."
Gardo then looked at Rean and the rest of the Elental Space Realm experts. "The rest of you will advance and enter the formation. I can't guarantee we will have the numbers advantage inside, but we definitely won't be behind. I don't know what the devils are planning, but you must stop them before they use more living souls of demon beasts. Understood?"
"Yes!" Everyone imdiately nodded.
"Alright, move out!" The entire army and its commanders started to advance, following Gardo and the other high-level experts behind him. The army had been moved near the location in advance, so it didn't take more than one hour for the attack to comnce.
As soon as the two armies spotted each other, all forces advanced according to their own battle formations. Observing everything from inside the Soul Gem Dinsional Realm, Roan couldn't help but snort. 'What a piece of shit organization. They are losing too much for nothing.'
'Don't bla them,' Rean said. 'Demon Beasts aren't exactly good at such things. Besides, you are kind of a special case. One can't expect everyone to be like you. Besides, there are countless Demon Beasts below the Transition Realm in this army. Don't forget, in the Realm of Gods, Demon Beasts below the Transition Realm don't have sentience yet. It is already very good that they can be controlled like this.'
Roan nodded and took his attention away, returning to his concoctions.
Although Rean's group was supposed to enter the formation, the devils also expected that, so they sent a lot of devils to stop them. Their levels were smaller, but the number more than made up for the lack of strength.
Rean and Kentucky dodged right and left while killing those who stepped in front of them. They showed no rcy, knowing that each one of these devils probably used hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent souls to help raise their cultivation. There was no need to feel bad for them. Kentucky was particularly more relentless, knowing that there were demon beasts inside.
Surprisingly, it took several hours of fight for a gap to finally appear in the defense in the formation. Rean, Kentucky, Essefy, and another three Elental Space Realm Experts in the Peak stage quickly took the chance and jumped inside.
As soon as they passed by the formation, the environnt beca even more hostile. Dark Elent and Devilish Energy concentration increased several tis, making it even harder to gather the other elents for use. It was definitely more saturated the the previous formation Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy destroyed.
But then again, the number of experts participating in this invasion was several tis bigger, too. After Rean and the others passed by the gap, they didn't rush deep inside. Instead, they turned around and began to kill the devils there to widen it.
Thanks to that, more Elental Space Realm experts arrived, which was quickly followed by Space Bending Realm ones. Soon, many Void Tempering and even Transition Realm demon beasts followed.
As Rean fought, he also paid attention the a battle that was happening far high in the skies. Gardo and Froskley were in a tight fight, none giving the other any advantage. However, as they fought, Rean's expression turned more grave. 'That's weird... Roan, can you see it?' Rean then shared his mories with Roan.
Roan checked it and stopped his alchemy work. 'Yes, it is not right. Your forces have already opened such a huge gap in the formation, and your army is advancing more and more inside. You also have the numbers advantage. Gardo said there were a similar number of Elental Space Realm devils inside the formation. How co none of them appeared yet? Any more than this and the Realm of Gods' army can't be stopped anymore.'
Rean nodded. 'I agree. Could it be a trap?'
'Unless they have already given up this place, that's the only possible option. The devils are doing a good job of covering it, though. The devils keep throwing themselves against experts at your level, hindering you down. That tension makes everyone forget about the unseen parts.' Roan pondered a bit and continued. 'If I'm not wrong, the devils are purposely letting you all enter the formation.'
Rean sighed and imdiately turned to soone else. 'Sister Orb, how about you?'
[Oh, so you want my help now?] Sister Orb asked, feeling sowhat bored. Rean told her to not ddle with the formations since it could attract unnecessary attention. Rean and Kentucky are already displaying such strength. Suppose even the enemy's formation begins to act strange every ti Rean and Kentucky appear. In that case, it will eventually beco too obvious they had sothing special capable of such a thing.
'Stop complaining. You know why I did it,' Rean said. 'However, now things seem a little too odd, so please hack into the formations and take a look.'
[Fine...] Sister Orb imdiately began to work. Although this formation expanded for tens of thousands of kiloters, it wasn't in the Divine Level yet, so she only needed around twenty minutes to get inside. [Well... have you ever heard about tactical retreat?]
Rean's attention was imdiately picked. 'Is it that bad?'
[Probably worse...] Sister Orb answered.
