Looking at Rimuru's grief-stricken state, Draco could only sigh and reach out to pat his head.
"Your big brother is here; I'll settle this for you!"
Hearing this, Rimuru looked up, staring at Draco through tear-filled eyes.
"But..."
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he hesitated.
The dead cannot return to life; no one can reverse this law.
"Report. The Vampire's 'Blood Magic: Resurrection' and Undead Magic 'Raise Dead' can revive the deceased. If the soul cannot be retrieved, the resurrected will lose their intelligence..."
"Solution. Probability of retrieving the soul: 3...%"
The Great Sage's words made Rimuru feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. What use was resurrection if the soul was gone?
"I know what you're worried about."
Draco smiled, patted Rimuru's shoulder, and said easily, "Don't worry, just leave it to me."
"Really?"
Rimuru looked at Draco with anticipation, hoping he could bring about a miracle.
"Have faith in your big brother. I said I could settle anything for you."
Just then, the surrounding demons had already brutally slaughtered the remaining seventy thousand soldiers.
A tall, burly demon covered in black scales walked toward Rimuru and knelt respectfully on one knee.
"Respected Lord, the mission is complete. Except for the two humans named Edmar and Lecim, all other enemies have been eliminated."
Looking at the scene where blood flowed like a river and corpses were piled like mountains, Rimuru took a deep breath and then nodded.
"Well done."
"Lord, what do we need to do next?"
"Clean this place up first, then wait for orders."
Rimuru instructed calmly, and the several demons nearby immediately nodded in agreement and busily got to work.
"Good quality corpses, don't let them go to waste," Draco reminded him.
"The combat power of the Jura Tempest Federation is too weak right now. Use these enemy corpses as sacrifices to boost your strength."
Thinking about it, Rimuru also felt there was truth in this. Weakness is a sin; if the Jura Tempest Federation were strong enough, they wouldn't have been helpless against a human invasion.
Immediately, Rimuru activated a summoning array. A crimson magic circle emerged from beneath his feet, and a majestic surge of magic power instantly spread out.
Under the Great Sage's precise control, all the human corpses within the Jura Tempest Federation turned into black smoke and poured into the array.
This time, without Black, the over seventy thousand sacrifices directly summoned over a hundred A-rank High-ranking Demons.
The Great Sage had previously informed Rimuru that twenty thousand sacrifices could summon about thirty-some demons, so the number summoned this time was normal.
With the conclusion of the Manifestation Ritual, the strength of these demons was boosted to A-rank.
Draco estimated that once Rimuru named them, these fellows should be able to become even more powerful.
At that time, the combat power of the Jura Tempest Federation would achieve a qualitative leap.
"Collect everyone's bodies. I'm going to destroy this Magic Sealing Barrier; otherwise, it'll interfere with my spellcasting."
After saying that, Draco walked toward the outskirts of the city, and Rimuru also began directing the demons to start working... Just as he stepped out of the barrier, bursts of rumbling came from the distance, and the ground trembled slightly, as if a massive earthquake had occurred.
Draco stopped in his tracks and looked into the distance.
In the distant sky, a dazzling red pillar of light soared into the heavens, dyeing the entire sky blood-red.
