493 Summer Night

...

This was another Broken Ring in the outer dream realms.

Different from the endless caverns of the previous quarter-ring.

In this world, Matthew saw an endless grassland, interspersed with a few snow-capped mountains.

He glanced over.

The grassland seemed without bounds.

And likewise, the snow mountains towered into the clouds, their peaks unseen.

This was a more vast and majestic space, but as soon as Matthew entered, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and suffocation—

On a field far away.

Large pools of blood had solidified into black crystals, merging with the green grass, causing that patch of lawn to appear black and red, giving off a sharp and painful feeling.

Hundreds of bodies lay haphazardly across the Black and Red lawn.

Half of the bodies were foreign women from the astral world, while the rest were merely scattered spiritual dust and shattered metallic structures.
