I'm not so sure that Loke can keep up with Torafusa for long.

For one think Loke already got a bleeding wounds (and I'm surprised that he's bleeding red blood like a Human would) while we've seen no wounds on the Demon yet and for another, as far as I can tell Torafusa has only used his body to attack, which means he still has a curse and likely his full Demon-form up his sleeve.

As for the other guilds being helpful: We don't really know how much time passed since the GMG. Considering how much stronger many FT members were able to become with just three month of training, it's possible that the other guilds are now a more capable.

But even leaving the possible training they might have gotten out, there are still a few who would definitely be useful. Kagura, Jura and Chelia certainly seem powerful enough enough to be right up there with FT.

The twin Dragons might also become useful now that they know about the power of feelings and are fighting for a just cause, rather than only fulfilling orders. Orga migth also be useful.

If Millianna's and Yuuka's magic-sealing abilities also work on curses, they could become real trump-cards in team-fights.

Then there are the Guild Masters and the remaining Wizard Saints. Since we don't knwo anything about them, apart from a few names, Bob's Phasing Magic and Ooba's Spinning Magic, they are a big wild card, but they are likely very powerful.

Hibiki, while not very useful in direct combat, would be very helpful in coordinating such a large force. Now if you combine his ability to gather and analyse the data from the battlefield and his ability to communicate with the allies with Mavis tactical genius (someone with the guild mark would of course have to relay Mavis' words to him) that'd be one hell of an advantage.

Ren, with his ability to encase several people in an air bubble and float them around, could be used for quick flanking manouvers. Eve could create a large-scale snowstorm or mist to reduce the enemy's visibility, if it's deemed necessary, though in many cases this would favour the numerically smaller force, so he'd be better as part of a small infiltration or flanking team.

Sherry Blendy is supposed to be able to control everything that isn't Human. While I seriously doubt it, there's a small chance she might be able to take control of a Demon.

Rufus, as long as they are able to keep him and his low-resilience ass, in the back-row, he'd make one hell of an "artillary mage". He might also know or make up some useful support spells.

If he trained a lot in the past seven years, Kageyama's Shadow Magic might also be very useful, particularly for infiltration and flanking. And also potentially as "food-source" to power-up Rogue, assuming that the Shadow Dragon Slayer is able to eat Kage's Shadow Magic. Also he's a cool character I'd like to see again.

Shô, if nothing else, could be used to quickly transport a large group of people around by carding them in, then being teleported/flown/carried around by another fast mage and then un-card the attack-team at the target location.
