“In the name of all that's holy, the light shall banish all evil!”
Following that incantation by Jared, 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, Jared absorbed everything since it was all beneficial to his cultivation. The Focus Technique could devour and cultivate everything; that 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 Jared.
Leonidas, in particular, flushed bright red. Recalling his scorn toward the man back then, he felt his face flaming hotly, and mortification flooded him.
With the Starry Compass in hand, Falcon gawped at Jared, his eyes as wide as saucers. “W-What kind of technique was that? Don't tell me it was an immortal technique?”
In a flash, a bone-deep chill permeated him, upon which he started trembling involuntarily.
By then, the initial imperiousness on his face was nowhere to be found. All that remained was terror.
Even my grandmaster might not be able to wield such an immortal technique!
His hairs stood on end, and there was only one thought in his mind—flee!
Crap! I've got to flee as far as possible!
Unfortunately, no sooner had that thought occurred to him than Jared drawled coldly, “Are you thinking of taking to your heels? Alas, you don't have that opportunity anymore. If you give me the Starry Compass, I don't mind granting you a less painful death!”
Falcon's eyes kept darting around as though he was trying to come up with a countermeasure while also glancing at the Starry Compass in his hand every so often. An internal struggle raged within him as he tried to come to a decision.
“You only have ten seconds to consider it.
Ten. Nine. Eight...”
And so, the countdown continued.
