The arrival of the Council of Virtus' champions had caused the balance of the battle to shift. John could now fully utilize what army he had left and whittled down the enemy's overwhelming number. In the sky, another incident tipped the scale further. Broidrireg finally defeated Suzaki. The immortal phoenix was unable to approach Broidrireg and used her immortal prison. Instead, she got trapped by Broidrireg's spell and was no longer able to flee. When she died, her fiery body burst into countless flame tongues before disappearing quietly into the air. After slaying Suzaki, Broidrireg pondered about giving aid to Eoranth, but his responsibility was to the Themisphere army first. Additionally, he was sure Eoranth would be offended if he went to help. Without a high-level eternal opponent stopping him, Broidrireg rained spells onto the Liguritudum and also Aurebor armies below, reaping countless casualties. On the other side, Jack and the Archdemon lord did the same. Master, who saw from afar how the battlefield situation changed to such a degree, was extremely displeased. With the arrival of Arlcard and Therras, he was unable to break through the defense. However, even with so many opponents, they also didn't appear to be anywhere near defeating Master. With the help of the Necronomicon, Master's spells seemed endless. Even though the zombie soldiers had been greatly culled during the battle, there were still more than enough for him to sacrifice to reduce his spells' cooldown. Seeing the stalemate, staying around gave no benefit. Master chose to retreat. He left his minions to hold the enemies while he flew away using his demonic wings. His demonic wings had no duration but consume stamina or MP each second. He had exceptional MP recovery which offset the wings' MP consumption. This allowed him to maintain the demonic wings indefinitely. John watched all this progress through the projection above his war table. Though the battle had not ended, he heaved a relieved sigh. The most critical part had ended. As long as they could maintain this condition and no more nasty surprises appear, they should win. He sent Jack a message, "Hey, give my thanks to your country guardian. Ask him if he could speed up his spell castings to quickly wrap this battle up. I prefer it to end sooner rather than later before any nasty surprises happened again."
