Five magi from the Magus Martial Arts organization pursued Atlas after killing a small group of three survivors. Atlas, realizing the seriousness of the situation, immediately sprinted away.
However, as members of the Magus Martial Arts, they possessed significantly greater speed than Atlas. Atlas rolled to the right, where a wall obstructed the view of his pursuers. He then stood up and continued running, deliberately choosing narrow and challenging paths to slow down the five people chasing him.
Explosions and vibrations continued to occur. The five individuals destroyed the wall and all obstacles, then focused on chasing Atlas.
"—Tracing mode: On."
Atlas was only familiar with a few magic techniques, with Tracing mode being the most prominent. This passive magical technique allowed the user to create any object from materials existing in the world as long as the user knew the material's composition and the design of the object.
