With his small body, he quickly reached the eyes of the statue. Gazing into the gleaming obsidian orbs, he let out a sigh.
"Will this really work?"
A black haze formed in the air, solidifying into a sword that he gripped tightly before casually slashing forward.
The statue's eyes were instantly severed, revealing a pearl embedded within, gleaming with a dark light.
"Hmm?"
Just by looking at it, he could sense the pearl's details, its presence whispering to him like a ghost.
For a moment, his gaze turned hollow, devoid of life.
Only after two minutes did he regain consciousness. He hurriedly shook his head and bit into his flesh to regain clarity.
"It still puts me in that trance-like state."
The first time he looked at the statue, he had also fallen into a trance, though it lasted much longer than now.
