As the group of teenagers made their way toward one of the four entrances of the House of Cards, they came across more and more Magi.
Some were vigilant and made distance from them, while others tried to get rid of them seeing that they were just a bunch of kids. However, these people immediately cowered in fear when Adam released a tiny amount of his mana.
Having practiced the Astral Tyrant Manual for so long had altered Adam's mana characteristic, making it extremely overbearing to those who felt it.
Moreover, during his training retreat, Adam was able to experiment a lot with the applications of mana. Unlike before when he would haphazardly release mana, now the mana he released was fine-tuned and highly precise.
This could be seen in how his friends, who were the closest to him, weren't affected by his intimidating aura at all. Yet the Magi in the distance were already sweating buckets from the pressure heavily weighing down on them.
