But the white-robed figure's joy did not last very long.
In an extremely short period of time, he saw the young man insert the knight's sword, still in its scabbard, into the ground and slowly open his palm to reveal a translucent eyeball that seemed to be made of both flesh and gemstone.
The eyeball floated up from the young man's hand, its gaze turning, and in an instant it 'saw' him.
Dazzling orange light gathered at the pupil of the eyeball, forming an inverted triangle with tightly shut eyelids.
Under the gaze of that eye, the surging power that filled his body, which felt like it came from the Eternal Radiance's grace and seemed boundless, began to fade away rapidly as if it was being erased by an invisible eraser.
He couldn't tell if it was an instant or a long period of time, but by the time he reached the young man, the power within him had already been completely neutralized.
