The first to step out of a portal was a massive Black Dragon at the Totem Rank. That wasn't the leader of the Divine Beast Nation, as they had the only Mythic Rank creature on the continent, but this was likely the spokesperson for that Dragon.
{Humans. Beast Master. I thank you for your succinct communication style, it made it quite worthwhile to intercept.} The Dragon began, speaking in Serpent.
Karl noticed that he no longer needed Remi to translate, he could just understand what the Dragon was saying, even while it was speaking another language.
"While it wasn't directly our intention to make your life easier, I will accept your good intentions. I take it that you are aware of the nature of this place?" He replied.
The Dragon nodded his head, then paused while three more Totems stepped through their portals to form a semicircle in front of Karl, facing the orb with him between them and the prize.
