Ahead of the straight passage lay darkness. Only the spot where he stood was illuminated by the light naturally emanating from his body, lighting the surrounding five or six meters.
Within the illuminated area, he could see countless tiny specks of dust drifting through the darkness, too small for ordinary people to notice.
