The moment he saw the painting, even Annan heard a "buzz" in his mind.
——Such dazzling light.
It was no longer just a painting.
It bore no resemblance to Annan's appearance, but rather to the "self with many heads" that Annan first saw in the "magic mirror"—
But that was not a physical image.
There were no bull heads or lion heads.
...If one had to describe it, it would be like a figure in the daylit crack of "neither dusk, nor noon, nor dawn," a twilight semblance.
It was something like a human, but definitely not a human.
Around Its supposed head were the condensed Elemental Powers of "Wisdom," "Understanding," "Victory," and "Glory"—four kinds of Radiance.
These four radiances formed a four-pointed starburst—— from any angle, one could see a sacred halo. And as for the humanoid form... it was more like a trailing afterglow of light.
Just like in a neon-lit city on a rainy night, the reflection elongated in puddles.
