Everyone on the battlefield saw the enormous silver and purple sphere that covered the battlefield where Satan was. They also saw the sea of corpses after that sphere was gone. Only Satan remained standing in that place. The devil was laughing madly, savoring what he had done.
Everyone's morale dropped a couple of notches after seeing that. How could they win against such a being?
"John, we need to retreat!" Four Winds sent John a message. He was spared from Satan's Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction because his guild was assigned to hold a different devil. His guild was not having a good time, though.
In the mobile fortress, Horatio also expressed the same sentiment. "Royal Advisor John, we need to pull back. If you are unwilling, I will pull my force back. I can't let them lose their lives needlessly. We need to retreat and reassess our situation."
