Eston was overflowing with power; he had been in his breakthrough form for a while now, and it was expanding out even further to the point where all the sand next to him had been pushed to the side, creating mounds.
The other mages, knowing how much power Eston had, decided to move away from what was occurring. They were still keeping an eye on the Crimson Crane members.
Most of the Crimson Crane were together, with Reno and Tilon apart from the rest but staying close, and Alba, who had been in confrontation with one of the squad leaders before, now both of them looking at the fight that was about to take place.
Amir even took this opportunity to move over to the side where the other Crimson Crane members were, but he didn't run away or escape; instead, he was staring at the center, for the outcome of what was about to take place.
