'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'
'Life Style, Third Form, Purification!'
That was another result of Rean's training and the fusion of powers. He could now work on two Stage Nine Demon beasts at the same time. If they were at the same cultivation realm as him, Rean would probably be able to heal tens of them at once.
When night arrived, both Phex and Fikin retreated with their remaining members. It wasn't because they couldn't fight anymore, but instead, it was because both sides wanted to check how their forces fared, whether it was good or bad. Of course, unlike the last battles between them, this time around, the entire group hadn't returned. Quite a few of them had to go back beforehand due to their own injuries.
Fikin looked at the conditions of his Transition Realm members and felt helpless. If he had another day, it would have made a lot of difference. After all, it was only today that he found out about the pretense Phex's group was doing. However, Roan just so happened to launch such an offensive that destroyed his plans, making his companions lose their focus.
"It's not over yet! Everyone, take out your pills and other treasures and make sure you recover as much as possible before tomorrow. There's no point in keeping them for yourselves if there's nothing else to be protected anymore." Fikin had to do that even though he didn't waste to use those resources either.
Everyone didn't have much choice other than to nod before starting to take out their pills and treasures. Immediately, a medicinal smell filled the area as high-level medicines were taken. Not only that, but extremely rare Rank Seven Spirit Stones were also used to help them recover their energy. In the end, the dantians of Transition Realm cultivators were able to hold a huge amount of Spiritual Energy.

On the demon beasts' side, Roan calculated the outcome of the last attack. "Very good. We were able to wipe out around 45% of the Zasfin forces on their right wing. Their central and left armies can't spare soldiers. Darian and the other demon beasts in other countries and continents won't allow the Zasfins to send reinforcements either. Otherwise, they'll lose territories in those places. Tomorrow, we should be able to launch a full offensive and take over the Humk Region."
Rean, who was healing the demon beasts, then warned Phex and the others. "The ancestors of the Zasfins know that they can't waste time anymore, so you guys better be ready for an even harsher fight. I'll heal you all as well as I can, but some of you wouldn't be at peak condition."
Phex and the others shook their heads after hearing that as Phex replied, "Just put the ones with severe injuries back in fighting condition. Demon beasts are a lot more resilient than humans or Zasfins, so we can bear with mild injuries."
Rean nodded in response before continuing his work for the night. Of course, the Demon Beasts also tried to help with the recovery process during this time. That being said, the night passed in a flash, quickly giving way to the next day.
This time, however, Phex noticed how there was a change in Fikin's group. "It seems like you guys finally decided to stop being stingy. Isn't it a little too late? We're already taking over the territories, you see?"
"Hmph!" Fikin snorted in response. "It's still better than a bunch of demon beasts pretending to be injured. In any case, you really asked for it, so we'll be using everything we have to make sure we take all of you down."

Phex laughed in response, saying, "Hahaha! So, you want a test of endurance, huh? We are demon beasts, so we accept your challenge."
On Roan's side, his Demon Beast Army on the left wing, or the Zasfins' right wing, advanced without hiccups. Well, it wasn't as if they were winning their combats quickly, but instead, there wasn't a single Zasfin defending that region to start with. Seeing that, Roan couldn't help but nod as he muttered, "They made a good decision."
Rean understood what Roan meant, saying, "Indeed. With 45% of their army lost on the previous day, there's no point defending the Humk Region anymore. Instead of making a last-ditch effort, they retreated with the rest of the right wing's forces to protect the Freten and Gargoc Regions with the central army."
Rean then looked in the direction of the central Demon Beast Army. Of course, because of the size of the battlefields, he couldn't really see it with his eyes. "Shouldn't you move some of the left wing's forces to reinforce the center?"
Roan nodded as he replied, "I already did that last night. Rafin and a few demon beasts good at concealing acted as scouts and noticed when the Zasfins began to retreat. The army advancing at the moment is only 40% of the total. In any case, the Humk Region is almost empty. Once we take over the region, the number of demon beasts right now should be enough to hold their positions if they receive some attacks."
Rean sighed and redirected his attention in the direction where Phex was fighting. "In the end, all we could do has been done. The Hafel Clan's position and merits during this war are also second to none. It all depends on how Phex's group will fare."
Roan also thought the same thing. Of course, he would keep attacking as he always did, increasing the pressure on the Zasfin ancestors. Nevertheless, he knew that something like the Ten Waves Rush won't work anymore, so his advancement from now on would be slow.
The sequence of exchanges then continued as a certain balance was achieved. Rean healed any demon beasts that came back earlier while using the Rank Five Spirit Stones given to him. Once night time came, he first focused on using Purification to get rid of any poison or harmful energy. That way, the demon beasts would be able to recover a little by themselves while he healed the others.
At the start of the day, both Phex and Fikin's group would look like they haven't suffered much, even though they knew how bad things were on the last day. Naturally, the Zasfins were using all the resources accumulated during this time to do that.
However, that balance didn't last long...
