There was no time to dilly-dally, so he broke out from his daze and rushed towards Torak's body, his priority right now was to try and stop that gate from opening fully, every minute that went by made the vortex increase in size gradually, he could not have it fully open or else he would not be able to stop what happens after that.
Once he got to Torak he cut off one of his hands, grabbed it and rushed towards the pillars. The beast was already preoccupied with fending off the attacks of the dozens of people attacking him so it had momentarily strayed away from guarding the gate. Though faced with so many warriors it still was able to survive for this long, its slimy worm-like body was covered in thousand injuries yet it still held it's ground, it had even managed to injure some of the warriors fighting against it.
