Chapter 237: Operation Wolf Slayer. (Part 25)
’This is taking longer than expected...’
Scanning and storing a dead body took ten to fifteen seconds. Multiply that by ten and the total would be almost a couple of minutes. That wasn’t a very long time by any means, but it might as well be an eternity on a battlefield. And that’s without considering the time it took to create all those corpses.

’Alright.’ With the last corpse finally transferred, Dante stood up and dusted his hands. ’The escape route should now be secured. All that’s left is...’
