While Minos worried about remembering to talk about this current situation with Gavin when he returned to Dry City, he continued moving around the battlefield.
He was using his movement technique to evade enemy attacks that came at him after his men in the surrounding area stopped most of them. But not only was he protecting himself with this action, but he was also going for the lives of his weaker enemies there.
The medium and high-level Spiritual Emperors in the surrounding area were fighting at great intensity against their respective enemies. But when they saw Minos entering the battlefield with that scary thing, both sides stepped up the pace of things, fearful for different reasons.
One side simply wanted to get rid of the enemies holding them there, to get away from Minos as quickly as possible. But the other wanted the opposite, to hold these people as long as possible for Emperor Stuart to take their lives.
