The moment the words left Masamune's mouth, the world around them seemed to distort.
A strange pressure swept across the arena, not oppressive in the usual sense, but absolute. Kavin felt it immediately. The spear lodged within Masamune's abdomen vanished without warning, dissolving into particles of light before disappearing entirely.
At the same time, the mana flowing through his body abruptly stopped. It was as though…as though…an invisible hand had reached inside him and slammed shut every pathway connected to his core.
Kavin's expression darkened. He attempted to circulate mana out of instinct, but nothing responded.
His core remained silent. Even worse, the familiar sensation of the All Seeing Eyes disappeared. The golden eyes that had guided him throughout countless battles became ordinary once again.
A bitter smile appeared on Kavin's face.
'I was afraid he would use this.'
