Quinlan stayed still as Lucille's idea lingered in his head.
Subjugate servants, wait for their shifts to start, and slip his senses through them, then tear open a gate from inside the hold.
It would work, but it would take time. An even bigger gripe of his was that doing so would also tell his enemies that he had even more than he let on.
The barriers might not stop his portal from opening inside, but mana detectors would still notice how he somehow managed to open one inside the shimmering veil.
Many questions would be asked then, if word got out. This, his Primordial Subjugator status, was something Quinlan didn't want to release just yet.
Why?
Because, as his enemies have displayed today, he was not up against dumb nobodies. His opponents were scheming at the same time, strategizing to counter him and bring an end to his disruptive existence.
If these crafty people learned of his [Subjugation], then the moles he already has would lose effectiveness.
