Flash!
When an unidentified flash of light blazed in the sky, Logan happened to be not far from the Zigsmunt territory.

Logan, who had been enhancing his vision with aura to ride through the night, suddenly lost his sight entirely.

The startled horse reared up on its front legs, thrashing wildly.
Fearing the horse might strain itself, Logan let go of the reins entirely and fell off the horse.
Fortunately, the senses of a Sword Master, far surpassing those of an ordinary human, allowed him to land safely on the ground even with his eyes closed, showing some composure.

He carefully checked the horse’s condition, patting its neck and back several times, and Roxanna, smelling her owner’s familiar scent, soon calmed down. Before long, the now-steady horse obediently entrusted itself to Logan’s hands as he infused divine power into its eyes.
