Noel spent two hours inside that space to swing his blade according to the Sword Saint's instruction. He was shocked by how much a toll that his swing took in his mind.

After those two hours, the space gradually disappeared and the Sword Saint seemed to be more transparent as if he had used most of his remaining Spiritual Energy.
