That way he ends the current one while keeping ground for the sequel. After all rushing all the plot points and battles we had yet to see in a few chapters would also likely end up as a bad end. But one with no interest / space for he to continue.
And my point is that he could have at least used those few chapters to tie up some of the minor plotpoints that have been around since the beginning, rather than waste them on an arc that had no point whatsoever.

That's pretty much the arc I'm talking about. The others at least have some concluding threads in them.
