Um, Court Mage Menekver, who had just stepped through the Teleportation Gate and witnessed this scene, was quite disheveled but did not immediately approach.
The moment he leaves, the Teleportation Gate will surely be destroyed. Moreover, at this very moment, the Mana Energy level exhibited by the two Red Dragons—David Uthos and the other one—is not something an old man like him, long retired from the academy, can handle. It could very well backfire. If both Red Dragons were to turn on him, he, nearly six hundred years old, might well meet his end here.
This old Elf's cautious nature and his professional integrity of 'it definitely can't be my fault' gave David precious time to make tactical adjustments and attempts.
