"KEUGH…!"
Atlas didn't understand what happened. In one moment, he was trying to shatter the beast egg, and in the next, he was in a world of flames.
The flames around him were like tails snapping from left to right. His consciousness awakened to the feeling of pain coming from his entire body.
But, it also was not a pain coming from his body at all.
It was searing, blistering pain. It felt like his skin and flesh were being melted away. He viscerally felt as his eyes and other parts of his body were heated beyond their limit and turned to liquid.
However, he could still see, and if he just looked at his body within the flames, he could see that he was completely unaffected.
"This is…khhh! …a mental realm?!"
His thoughts were confirmed when they were voiced as words despite him never opening his mouth. When he compared his pain to the world around him and the state of his body, the only thing Atlas could think of was a mental realm.
