In another situation he was sure not to be able to crush them like this. They looked like burnt forest, with no will to stand up and a beaten up strength after the long fight inside the other world.
And so he kept harassing them, jumping off from place to another while using his portals to the maximum.
Despite that not many of them left. Only a few hundreds flew far away, dispersing into every direction they could get at.
That made him ponder about their plans. "They must be scheming something," he glanced at the world lying at the other end of the portal, "it's not only to prevent the others from crossing over."
'Ding! Who knows what they did back there,' the system said, 'Ding! They might even have planted some sort of a bomb that would turn the entire world into shreds.'
"That…" Arthur was hesitant, "sounds like something they would do."
He knew from his dealing with those dark mages how brutal and merciless they were. Bound with nothing, no morality, no code of honor, or even a creed to believe in, they were killing anything living and ruining any safe haven.
"I need to stop them," his earlier decision became much firmer now, "I must not allow them to have their plans going as they wish."
'You are doing great already,' Gege said.
"Not enough," Arthur knew as long as he couldn't draw them far away then he would end up failing his quest. "Spread the word to Amera and Doaf, we are grouping everyone here."
'All of them?' Gege was surprised. 'What about the forces they are fighting right now?'
"Let them escape," Arthur said without care, "or let them chase them here. I don't care, after all I need stronger force to beat these bastards."
'Ding! There is always the trap inside the array,' the system said.
'If only we had time, I would have brought you inside to turn those prisoners into soldiers of war.'
"What about the other prisoners then?" her words made him recall his werewolf and his forces, "are they ready?"
'Ready as always,' she said, 'but is it safe to bring them here?'
"I can always kill them if they tried to double cross me," he viciously smiled, "alarm them as well. Let's start this fight with a loud bang."
Despite all this he kept jumping off from one place to another. The situation looked steadily under his control, yet he knew he was heading towards losing the war.
'They are inside the garden,' Gege suddenly said, 'when do you want to start?'
"Now," Arthur said, "move me to the core of them and when I move away bring them out."
'Got it.'
The next moment his body flashed and appeared as usual in the middle of everyone. They dispersed fast as they already got used to his tactic.
Yet some of them fell under his portals, but the number each time grew smaller.
Then as they started to retaliate, he flashed away and they returned with their guards being dropped.
But this time was different.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
This time Doaf, Amera, and the werewolf appeared leading their forces from the same spot. The mages all around were converging with nothing in their minds but to witness Arthur running away from their attacks.
So when these forces appeared, everything was doomed to turn into a nightmare to them.
"Use everything you got," Doaf shouted.
"Start with your biggest moves," Amera ordered.
And the werewolf simply roared.
'Ding! What about the mechas?' the system asked.
'They are grouping inside the garden now,' Gege said, 'can be moved at any moment.
"Not now," Arthur didn't hurry to throw all his cards on the table, "move me back, we need to keep pressuring them by the portals."
The next moment he appeared inside the brutal fight while deadly attacks flashed everywhere. Gege took the main toll in protecting him while controlling the portals all around.
Yet after the surprise attack, the enemy mages tried to regroup themselves and counterattack them. However the timely appearance of Arthur and the brilliant use of portals by Gege stood against them like an immovable mountain.
"Run away or stay to die," Arthur yelled and next everyone shouted in unison after him. "Keep an eye for me on the slaves," he didn't forget about this.
'My hands are full,' Gege complained, 'can't do this by now.'
"I meant the system, not you," Arthur explained.
'Ding! Leave it to me.'
Since coming to this world, the system's role has been forcibly diminished a lot. Everything was mostly thrown over Gege's shoulders, and so Arthur gave this task to the system.
'They are retreating,' Gege yelled in joy but Arthur had another opinion.
"They are regrouping with those Doaf and Amera were fighting."
He motioned his head towards the horizon where many small dots appeared.
'So what should we do now?' Gege asked, 'this way our attack will lose its advantage in front of all these numbers.'
"Tell me something," Arthur suddenly pondered about an issue in his mind for a couple of seconds before adding, "if you didn't have to imprison them in the garden, would that relieve some stress over you?"
'It will release a lot of pressure indeed,' Gege confirmed his guess, 'but leaving them wandering around in my body without any restraints isn't a wise thing to do.'
"I don't plan to do that," Arthur evilly smiled, "I want you to send them to the array."
'Oh,' Gege said in sudden realization, 'that might be great,' she even laughed when she got the meaning of his words.
'Ding! That's such a nasty plan to use,' the system said before laughing, 'Ding! But as long as this would free our little Gege, then we should do it.'
'I'm ready,' Gege said, 'when do you want me to start?'
Arthur paused for a moment as he was thinking about something. "First let them come," he said, "do you have a portal dormant on their path?"
'I have two actually.'
"Great," Arthur evilly smiled, "let them come first. Ah by the way, inform the mechas… they will be summoned soon."
'To fight here?' Gege asked.
"Not exactly here," Arthur mysteriously said while flashing in and out the garden as Gege kept chasing every mage around with portals.
