NERO didn't hesitate to enter the portal that Calyx opened up for him.
It wasn't like he had lowered his guard.

Melvin looked worried, but he still nodded and obeyed his command without questions. "I understand, Prince Nero. Please be safe." He then turned to Dahlia. "Miss Dahlia, I leave His Imperial Highness in your capable hands."
"Don't worry, Sir Melvin," Dahlia, who was barely holding onto Nero's shirt while sitting behind him, assured Melvin. "I will protect Prince Nero."
Nero just scoffed.

"We're wasting time here," Calyx, who was riding on a giant crow as big as the ice phoenix, said impatiently. "Let's go."
