Bab 723: A Debate With Marcos

Arthur knew she was telling the truth, but the next moment Doaf and that other mage came suddenly to join the two of them.

"Please don't," Doaf urged, "they can still make it."

"They need only a few minutes, that's all."

"What if the fire came here?" Amera crossed her arms before adding, "not only those you are desperately trying to save will die, but others standing safely here will die as well. Besides, the array we took much trouble to activate will be damaged and we will return to the start point again."

Doaf knew she was telling a high possibility, but that mage wasn't convinced by her logic or he was simply stubborn.

"We will wait."

"This is nothing you can decide," Arthur stepped in this time to put an end to this unneeded clash. "I'll wait as long as I can, but if the fire gets near the portal then I won't hesitate to crush it."

"You…" the mage's body trembled and he emitted a very dangerous aura.
