Behind the man was a creature that could incite fear in any one who would see it. Its large body was enough to destroy the entirety of the conference hall. They could already tell what it was based on the size of the hand that attacked the king.
They could see that the hand was coming out from a portal that the man must have summoned without moving from his seat. If the giant's body would emerge from it then the palace might really collapse. In an attempt to close the portal or even disrupt it, Orpheus pushed his body to cut the portal.
The white light coming from his sword intensified as he raised it after he disappeared from where he was and appeared before the portal. He brought down his sword in an attempt to destroy the giant hand and the portal together. The attack caused the whole building to shake.
