Ion didn't respond to Rhode quickly or launch another attack. Through Alice, Rhode more or less understood the reason why Ion didn't attack again. Apart from Rhode, Nalea and Siena also posed quite a huge threat to Ion. The fact that Rhode summoned so many demons to the main plane and started a bloodbath was specifically for show. With the twin sister's wisdom, it was impossible for them to not realize who Rhode was going against. If they didn't take action, perhaps Rhode and Ion would lead the continent to turmoil. War had nothing to do with justice and evil and its process was to kill and be killed, destroy and be destroyed, and wreck and be wrecked. Casabianca was only an extreme example but even so, it exemplified the nature of war.
Rhode could finally heave a sigh of relief, at least for now, as this might possibly be a short-lived period of peace.
