Under the threat of Storm God Utus, that group of Divines eventually chose to retreat.
Even though Laiendos, with the Sword of Victory in hand, stood on their side, and by all accounts, victory should have been assured for them, who could bear the cost of that victory?
The presence of Laiendos and the Sword of Victory could only guarantee victory, but not ensure whether it would be a grand victory or a pyrrhic one.
And a Fifth Rank Divine, even with the number of Divines on their side pulling out all the stops, could still very likely result in a pyrrhic victory.
Sibos was almost biting his teeth through in frustration. He had held so many feasts, sent so many casks of fine wine, only to be met with such an outcome in the end.
But there was nothing he could do, no matter how much the Divines on the field despised Utus and Laren, they were helpless.
