August had not been fooled by the Purple Flames Sorcerer's attempt to sway his opinion one bit. He had already observed the build up of his spiritual energy and realized that the other party only sought to buy himself time to recover his mana.
The Purple Flames Sorcerer even over drafted his life force to give his spell that extra boost to unleash its fullest power but in the end it was futile. August did get to see his famous escape sorcery: Traceless Smoke Trail. He had to admit that had he not been prepared for it, then even he would have found it difficult to capture him easily.
"The effects of the Pristine Spirit Eye Ability is not bad. Although it still needs improvement..." August was under no illusions that the already ruptured magic core within the Purple Flames Sorcerer's spiritual sea made his spiritual attack quite effective. Otherwise, it might not have had the intended effect.
