Where are you getting this idea that he could turn them into dust...

His magic power is not insanely powerful, he would not be that different then when he was Tenrou. Chances are the majority of them could fend him off for a bit.

As for Ankhseram's curse, well, he has no desire to destroy them. Sure, he could make a bad thought and it could go wild, but they could probity avoid it... especially since they know what is about to happen.
