Elsbeth's Judgment
Following Vaan's claim, an immense amount of fiery power converged toward him from every direction, causing his body to shine brightly and blindingly. The intense radiance forced everyone to look away or lower their gazes, almost as if they were bowing their heads.
Instead of summoning a white sun to intimidate the mass, Vaan himself became the white sun, embodying the holiness and purity of its white flames.
Although the scale was small, the presence Vaan radiated was just as great; his divine presence commanded respect and worship.
In that instant, his gaze carried that much more weight.
Even if the people couldn't see it, they could still feel it, which forced them to acknowledge his divine might and prostrate on the ground. The being before them was someone who could dictate their life and death with a single thought, just like the Sun God they worshipped.
To the people of the Holy Knight Empire, the Sun God represented absolute authority.
