Arthur could only wait and watch while the portal kept shrinking in size. However, despite that, he also noticed a disturbing fact.
"Give my orders to everyone," he couldn't help but say in a gratifying tone, "they need to come here and cluster around. I don't want to be attacked by anything during this crucial step."
'On it!'
Gege already was aware of such development and instantly started to relay his orders.
The portal kept shrinking, but its function remained the same. As its size became smaller, the mages and monsters it emitted became denser, clustered around a small area the more the portal descended.
And that only led Arthur to picture the time when it arrived in front of him. It would be there, however he would be blocked by an endless crowd of mages and monsters.
Facing such odds in such a small space meant it would be brutal. He didn't want to waste any second fighting anyone, so he had only to use others to do so.
