Dante continued slaughtering the abominations. While all of them knelt on the ground shaking, Dante gave them a quick death. Saleen was actually pleased seeing Dante work: It was buying Saleen's party's time instead of the Evil Oracle.
Sometimes an unexpected event is all it takes to change the course of fate.
All of a sudden Dante started attacking the abominations proactively. Saleen never expected that to happen. The outcome was in his favor, as the Evil Oracle was only able to see Dante slaughtering their people while they were unable to do anything.
If they could stop and redo the whole thing again, it would have taken even longer.
The Evil Oracle cast a blob of gray mist from its fingertip in the form of an abomination and sent it charging at Dante. The Lightning Constellation's weapon spirit chose to evade this abomination rather than take it on.
