Zura's incredible technique made the human group take a step back and interrupt the assault. They didn't know what was happening, but they didn't dare to get too close when an enemy could make their skin shatter with a simple wave of his hand.
Some Niqols who had heard stories about the old ways could probably understand the nature of the [Mana Control], but they didn't know its details. They weren't sure whether Zura could deploy it against all of them or only Paul.
Ilman knew something more due to the unique role of his tribe, but he was also ignorant about the level of expertise that Zura had reached. Moreover, the boy couldn't understand who Zura could target with his deadly technique. After all, the battle had lasted for mere minutes. Becoming able to control the mana of a single opponent was already an incredible feat.
