He only had a few minutes to free the remaining Lesser Elementals on the battlefield before his subjects would be crushed by the Kitsun Summons and Awakened.
However, a few minutes was all he needed. As a matter of fact, it was more time than Michael required to take care of the subdued Lesser Elementals that ranged in the thousands.
There were roughly 3000 Lesser Elementals still under the control of the Summons and fighting against close to 500 freed Lesser Elementals.
The Lesser Elementals that broke free of their slavery ties thanks to Michael focused on shattering the chokers that forced their brethren into submission. That way, they were not that easily overwhelmed even though they had a huge numerical disadvantage.
Michael intensified the shroud of Glacicles around his body as he charged into the battlefield. He didn't mind the severe heat and the blazing flames in the most crowded parts of the battlefield. Instead, he charged right at them.
