The explosion was even grander from the outside. Just like every building owned by Dusk, this one was also contained within a large formation. When the inside was turned into a blazing inferno, the outside pushed against the formation barrier and expanded greatly. The external structure cracked and shattered, but it was kept in one piece. Through the veins, one could see the flames raging within.
Atlas' ears were filled with the screams of those within. He sat in a corner, hidden by flames with his eyes closed. He had to concentrate, after all.
Ninety percent of his qi had been used to manifest these flames. The other ten percent was kept as a reserve in case something drastic occurred.
The ninety percent of Atlas' qi capacity that had turned into flame was under his control. He felt every small particle of qi existing in the air.
