After noticing how the guards wouldn't be able to touch them, Toz didn't care too much about them. He looked at Asilean again. Asilean looked at the stairway leading out of the cave for a few seconds before he disappeared and began flickering through the air toward it.
After arriving at the bottom of the staircase, he sat down and began concentrating. It didn't take long for Toz to sense the build-up of space mana right in front of them, and when he did, he smoothly took control of it.
Toz and Asilean worked together to create a portal between the castle and the staircase. It wouldn't take long for them to cross the distance by themselves. But a few others in their group didn't quite possess the same speed. Nil, Lucy, Mindle, and Brunswick would all be left behind by Toz, Scrael, and Asilean if they decided to sprint to the staircase.
