Sword Flash shook himself from the aftereffects of that gaze and said, "I didn't expect that the mana seed would make the Ethera tree cast its gaze upon us. It seems I have to be careful with the other mana seeds that I found."
Then he said to everyone else, "Everything is fine. There is no need to worry because if there is a need to worry, there is nothing that we can do about it. Since there is no use worrying, let's go back to living our lives."
With that said, he left with the other two patriarchs. Everyone else dispersed solemnly.

As he went to his floating island, Arthur thought to himself with a heavy mood, "I knew that the Ethera tree was conscious and powerful, but I'm still in shock and awe of its power. That was just an eye ball of it and made us feel so small. Maybe to the Ethera tree, we are ants living on its body."
