Prince Lucius Helion, the oldest son of the emperor, had a terrifying power. The First Prince could absorb all the Mana around him, consciously and unconsciously.

"Even though Lucius hyung-nim's Mana Core is already sealed, he still unconsciously absorbs the Mana around him," he said. "It's terrifying."

If his older brother's Mana Core wasn't sealed, he would have drained Cryus's Mana.
