"In the name of all that's holy, the light shall banish all evil!"
Following that incantation by Jacob, the ball of light gave out infinite pressure at once. In the same manner as the radiant sun, beams of golden light shot right at that cloud of black mist.
Like a rat at the sight of a cat and snow in the presence of the sun, the black mist was quickly devoured at the illumination of the light. Then, Jacob absorbed everything since it was all beneficial to his cultivation. The Focus Technique could devour and cultivate everything, which was its uniqueness.
Subsequently, the light faded, and everything was peaceful once more.
The entire room went as silent as the grave, and everyone gaped at Jacob.
Leopold, in particular, flushed bright red. Recalling his scorn toward the man back then, he felt his face flaming hotly, and mortification flooded him.
