This is such a great transtion from the last illustration. Last time, we could see the rubble and realize what force must have been used to destroy this inner structure and, I'm guessing, remove the blade. This time, we get to see the emotional impact of this destruction. Plus, with his hand on the sword ornament and his gaze being pointed outside of the frame, we practically get to see their objectives shifting - from getting here to discovering the blade's new location - and that makes me even more excited for what's coming next
