Chapter 279: Aether Gardens [1]

"Psychedelic Region…" Varian h the white barrier and stepped into the grassland

Unlike Thunder Region, this place appeared to be full of vitality

With his enhanced eyesight, Varian's field of view spanned severalview of this region

Lush green plains, dense forests, frolicking beasts and colorful levels that twirled on the soft rivers that flowed down the mountains and stretched into the horizon

With the chirping of birds, and the sweet fragrance of the flowers, this place looked like utopia

"Heh What a good illusion" Varian sneered and channeled his mental sense

Ka!

Cobweb like cracks appeared on the utopian world and it burst like a bubble, revealing its shallow and true self

Varian's stiffened for a moment and muttered "…this sucks"

The utopia-like world was gone No It never existed in the first place

The Psychedelic Region, to be precise, the Aether Gardens Area laid bare in front of his eyes

It was still lush green, but it was no longer vibrant The plants had a sense of gloom around them, as if they were cursed

The birds' chirps were no longer melodious, instead, they were filled with mental attacks that tried to enslave the listeners

The flowers erance filled with mental power that hypnotized the beasts and drew them closer

When they did, their uarded beasts and killed therew further

Then, there were beasts that stood rooted in their spot, their pupils dilated and their round, kick their limbs to free themselves But as in a fewstopped

'Mental Power' Varian thought as he looked at the world in front of hirance of the flowers, he could feel s to incite hihts, this mental power bubbles would exploit and expand the the individual to do the deed

Varian channeled his chi and his senses cleared up As a peak level 5 Body Awakener, he was resistant to these ers nearby' He ordered His ring went off his finger and returned after a few seconds

'One three miles from here Others are too far away She is near the route to Aether Gardens' Boo reported

"Good"

Varian's body blurred and he silently reached the location of the er of Ashtarh teaet suspicious" Varian pondered for a ainst it

The reason he knocked out Priscilla was because Charles Xander was not in a position to suspect anything even if she silently disappeared

But if it was others?

Since the teas, the only ones who could knock theers

Since their strengths were in sie to their reporting tea attacked and would be eliminated

"If Ashtarh team asks her for information and she doesn't respond, they'll realize she's eli They'll be alerted I don't want that to happen" Varian said and teleported away froarden here and hence, the whole region took its naardens with their own characteristics

Despite trying to avoid theardens in the last four minutes

The Gardens of lust It is filled with plants that specialize in mental illusions of lust They pull one into an endless illusion of their deepest sexual fantasies

The ones trapped in the illusion would be constantly weakened and finally die in their illusion

Varian saw aout after a few moments with an exhausted, but satisfied smile

"…are you for real?" He wanted to eliuy, but held himself back

Gardens of Pride—pulls one into unending cycle of pridefultheir chests and trying to iarden

…these rabbits quickly overexerted themselves and became food for the plants

Garden of Fear—pushes one into their deepest fear and break their ives one their deepest happiness

…To be honest, Varian wanted to see his happiness

What did he really want?
