Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 144

Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 144

Episode 144

When light passes through a prism, a continuous band of colors appears.

Spectrum Prison is a dungeon created using this principle.

The light divided by the prism divides each section and triggers different traps.

Among them, a prison made of seven lights, visible light.

That’s why it’s called Spectrum Prison or Rainbow Prison.

Each light has a unique wavelength and properties.

Spectrum Prison was a dungeon that used this.

Each area of Paljunochopanambo is completely cut off, and a space made of light, not reality, welcomes intruders.

A space that transcends the phenomenal world. So this place was called a portrait space.

The outermost red portrait space constantly stimulates people’s fear and anxiety and whispers to them, leading them to self-destruction.

The space where Xeon was currently trapped was the red portrait space.

All I could see was a red, unrealistic landscape.

An all-red portrait space with no boundaries or distinctions.

It felt like I was floating alone in a red universe in zero gravity.

“This is my first time seeing a trap like this.”

Zeon muttered as he looked around inside.

The feeling of a red space that seemed to never exist in the world was bizarre.

“Are you recreating a dungeon? To do that, the core of the dungeon must be maintained intact and mana must be supplied stably.”

It was Zeon who had conquered numerous dungeons so far.

Among them, there was a dungeon that completely denied human common sense.

Like the Spectrum Prison where Xeon is currently trapped. So, Zeon did not panic even when faced with a situation that was his first time.

“What about sand?”

Zeon found his greatest weapon, sand.

However, no sand was felt in the red space.

“It’s clear that it’s completely cut off from the outside world.”

Even if there was only a small passage or hole, you would have felt the sand.

This made it clear that this was a completely isolated space.

Zeon walked through the red portrait space.

I couldn’t feel my weight at all, as if I was weightless. In fact, if I lost my balance even a little, my body started to spin around.

This is probably what it would look like if you were swimming in space.

The biggest problem is that no matter how hard you walk, you don’t gain speed.

I suddenly got angry.

A feeling of anger boiled up from deep within my heart.

It made him even more angry because he felt like he couldn’t get out of here no matter how much he walked.

“Why am I walking so hard? It would be better to just destroy it….”

Zeon opened a subspace. Then a mountain of sand flowed out.

Tsuuuu!

Before he knew it, the sand beneath his feet became the sea.

“Sand blaster!”

When Zeon waved his hand, dozens of strands of sand shot out in all directions. But no sand ray could hit the red space.

“You want to try it?”

Zeon couldn’t control his anger and waved his hands.

Shoo shoo!

Sand blasters were fired repeatedly.

If you fired a sand blaster like this, you should have felt some impact, but there was no feeling at all.

Only then did Zeon feel something strange.

My own state of being boiling with anger was strange, and this space, which was immune to the sand blaster, was also strange.

Zeon wasn’t the type of person to boil over with anger.

I don’t know if it was like that when I was young, but after wandering around the world for eight years, I learned how to control the opposite sex.

After that, I never once lost my temper.

Why can’t you control your anger like this and get swayed by your emotions?

This was definitely not a normal situation.

“after!”

Zeon sighed and calmed his anger.

Then, things that had not been seen before came into view clearly.

I thought it was just a red space, but when I looked closely, I saw that it was shaking slightly as if it was breathing.

Every time, red energy was being inhaled through Zeon’s nose and mouth.

Xeon first blocked his breathing and protected his entire body with mana. Then I felt a foreign energy inside my body.

It was the red energy that filled the space.

Zeon had inhaled a significant amount without even realizing it.

There was a lot of red energy especially concentrated around his midsection. The red energy took over and stimulated the central nervous system, causing Zeon to explode with anger.

Zeon concentrated his mind and pushed the foreign energy out of his body.

“Whoa!”

Only then did my mind become clearer and I was able to calmly understand my situation.

“This red energy stimulates the emotions of living things and draws out hostility. If you are consumed by hostility, you will lose your temper, struggle, and collapse from exhaustion. It’s fresh! “This is why you don’t notice.”

Xeon thought this space was quite creative.

At least Zeon was rational and realized his problem. If it had been anyone else, he would have been consumed by hostility and run amok.

Damian had no intention of subduing Zeon by force from the beginning.

This is because they were well aware of the fact that Zeon had the ability to manipulate sand, and they understood that if he truly moved, they would be unstoppable.

So, this type of dungeon was recreated.

So that Zeon runs wild on his own and gets exhausted.

However, Zeon knew how to look at the situation much more calmly and rationally than Damian thought.

“This red space is a paranormal space separated from reality, and it is impossible to escape on foot. “In the end, we have to destroy this space itself.”

It was confirmed that a sand blaster could not cause damage.

A much more powerful and destructive skill was needed than that.

Zeon happened to have such a skill.

Coooo!

The sand beneath Zeon’s feet began to rotate and rise.

A sandstorm arose around him.

Damian thought that since there was no sand in the paranormal space, he would be able to block Zeon’s abilities to some extent. However, I didn’t know that Zeon was filling up subspace with sand.

Kwakwakwa!

The sandstorm quickly grew.

A strong wind arose as a huge amount of sand rotated.

The sandstorm completely shook the red portrait space that was separated from reality.

The red portrait space shook violently. But even though it seemed like it would break, it persevered.

This meant that the space inside this portrait was vast.

There was not enough sand to completely destroy the portrait space.

However, Zeon had the power to make up for the lack of sand.

“It’s been a while since I brought this up. Exion!”

At that moment, black energy radiated from his entire body.

It was axion, the finest sand particle in the world, packed in every pore.

Exion is strong on its own, but its power doubles when added to sand.

Xeon deployed Exion into the sandstorm swirling in paranormal space. Then the power of the sandstorm became stronger.

Kukwakwakwa!

The portrait space shook violently from the force of the enormous sandstorm.

Zeon whirled the sandstorm even stronger. Then, explosions erupted from everywhere.

Damn it! Damn it!

The plosive sound became more severe, and cracks appeared throughout the portrait space.

Outside space was visible through the crack.

A vast desert filled with sand came into Zeon’s field of vision.

A smile appeared on Zeon’s lips.

“good!”

Zeon pulled in the sand from outside.

As if a tsunami had occurred, desert sand rushed through the cracks like waves and filled the portrait space.

As a huge amount of sand was added, the sand storm grew in size compared to before.

The portrait space was torn apart in front of that enormous force.

Whoops!

With a tremendous explosion sound, the red energy that surrounded Zeon disappeared without a trace.

The portrait space itself was destroyed and scattered without a trace.

“after!”

Zeon then sighed and shook his head.

After exerting a lot of effort for a moment, a feeling of helplessness came over me. However, he soon recovered his mind and body and looked around.

At that moment, a deep furrow appeared between his eyebrows.

Because the surrounding situation was so miserable.

Bodies with limbs cut off and internal organs spilling out were strewn everywhere.

Among them were bodies that appeared to have killed each other.

Since so many groups attacked, it was no wonder they killed each other.

The problem is that the two people who killed each other are wearing the same clothes.

It was clear that he was an awakened person belonging to the same group.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no reason for colleagues to kill each other.

“This is not a normal situation.”

He himself suffered death by being trapped in the red portrait space.

The red energy stimulated his hostility and caused him to run away.

If so, it was clear that energies of other colors also had the power to stimulate different emotions in humans.

Zeon examined the condition of the bodies.

“The wound has already dried. Does this mean that a lot of time has passed? Does time flow differently in paranormal space than in reality?”

Zeon’s face hardened.

As far as I felt, the time I was in the paranormal space was only about three or four hours. But the body he touched now looked like it had died at least a day ago.

It was clear that a time different from reality passed in each portrait space.

Zeon sighed and looked at the castle.

As if confirming his guess, the fortress had been destroyed to a greater extent than before.

Indeed, more than a day had passed outside.

“Damian, why did you make this such a big deal?”

Zeon sighed lightly and walked into the castle.

Six lights were still waiting for him.

＊＊＊

Ugh!

A crack appeared in the air with a sound like breaking glass, and a group of people appeared.

Those who appeared injured and exhausted were the elves who were rushing toward the castle with great vigor.

“You’re doing something like this. I will never forgive you. human!”

The elf gritting her teeth was Mariel, the leader of the Thornwood Attack Team.

The Thornwood attack team and elves who rushed into the castle with great vigor were caught in the suddenly appearing Spectrum Prison.

The place they were trapped in was a blue portrait space.

Everything was blue, both the sky and the ground.

The fresh feeling made the elves shiver, as if they had arrived in Kurayan, which they had only heard about.

Most elves were born and raised in Neo Seoul.

All they saw was a barren desert and a developed city.

Of course, I couldn’t even see the green meadows.

For them, the blue portrait space reminded them of their hometown, Kurayan, which they had never seen before.

Some elves were so moved that they shed tears of joy.

Mariel’s chest also shook quite a bit.

For the first time, I realized how the color blue enriches the mind so much.

Only then did I realize how much Serian, the elf queen, missed Kurayan so much.

Elves had to grow up in this rich environment.

That was the reason they came to Earth.

However, as a side effect of terraforming, the Earth was devastated and they were not given the opportunity to experience green spaces.

That made me even more angry.

This is because all the sacrifices made were in vain.

“Once we obtain the Spirit King’s crown, we can create a home for the elves again. Instead of living in a messy mess with humans, we will be able to build a paradise just for the elves.”

Mariel hated humans.

More precisely, he hated humans who rejected elves.

They also did not like themselves, living like tenants in a city built by humans. That’s why he didn’t like Serian, who decided to live with humans.

That was the reason she followed Eli, her second-in-command.

Mariel strengthened her resolve and encouraged the elves.

“We have to get out of here quickly. Everyone hurry up.”

But the elves ignored her orders.

This is because the blue space captivated their hearts.

They did not want to leave this green portrait space. So Mariel’s orders just felt like nagging.

Only then did Mariel feel that something was wrong.

Just as Zeon had intense hostility towards the red space, this blue space gave the elves peace and oblivion.

It would be better to fight enemies or demonic beasts.

The enemy in Spectrum Prison was himself.

The elves forgot the reason to fight and became lazy in the comfort of the green space.

That was the scary thing about Spectrum Prison.

Each of the seven lights emits different wavelengths, and these wavelengths affect the human mind.

What’s really scary is that even if the mind is eroded like this, the people involved don’t even feel it.

Extreme shock therapy was needed to awaken the elves whose minds had been eroded.

Drip!

Red blood flowed down Mariel’s sword.

It was the blood of elves.

She went to extreme lengths to awaken the elves whose minds had been consumed by the blue portrait space.

He killed several of his subordinates as an example.

All the elves, including the Thorn Tree Attackers, were like sisters and brothers to her.

Killing those people also hurt her heart. Still, I had no choice but to do it.

Because it was impossible to escape the blue space on my own.

In the end, the elves who came to their senses through shock therapy were able to gather their strength and escape from the Spectrum Prison.

Mariel looked at the castle with bloodshot eyes.

“Evil people. “I will never forgive you for using such a dirty trick.”
