The spearman looked on with a frown. He had witnessed Arthur's strength firsthand, so he looked conflicted about fighting him.
Arthur, on the other hand, was the same. He didn't want to be the kind of person to carry others through but the fact that this person has fallen for the Enders made things different.
If this man was a minion of the Enders, then Arthur had every reason to prevent him from passing. This way, he would hinder them from getting their hands on the artifact.
At this point, Arthur realized that his legacy quests only appeared when the Enders were involved. This suggests that the purpose behind his legacy was to stop these creatures.
As the tension rose, Ellen was the first to break the silence. She pushed Arthur's arm away as she took a step forward.
"You have nothing to do with this." She said holding her injured arm.
