The mages in the rear regiments had all fled. Their knowledge was hundreds of times greater than the rest of the camp, and they knew the large being was a devil, a grade-9 creature. The grand mages who had yet to reach grade-7 simply chose to flee. They were, after all, assigned to the camp at short notices. With the sorcerers being busy at the front fighting the spirit army, they had little time to be concerned about what was going on at the rear.
The grand mages might have been able to pester the grade-9 creature for a little while if they were to all gang up on it, but the actual fact was, having soldiers surrounding the creature would have yielded better results. Morale of the camp suffered a huge blow as the grand mages backed off from the battle.
