The Genius Mage Was Reincarnated Into A Swordsman Family
Chapter 301: The Crimson Dimension
Klaus extended his hand toward the vast emptiness before him, his crystalline eyes closing as his consciousness descended into the familiar realm of the Ten Eyes Mantra. Within the expansive mindscape, the first eye—Anubis—pulsed with ancient power that had remained dormant for far too long.
"Red Zone," Klaus spoke, his voice carrying authority that resonated across multiple dimensions.
The moment the words left his lips, reality underwent fundamental transformation that defied every previous experience of consciousness expansion Klaus had encountered. His vision didn't simply change color—it was as if existence itself had been filtered through crimson lens that revealed layers of reality normally hidden from perception.
The world around him took on hue of fresh blood, yet this wasn't mere visual alteration. Klaus found himself existing in state that transcended normal spatial relationships, simultaneously present in physical location while occupying parallel dimension that operated according to entirely different principles.
Klaus looked down at his hands and discovered he could still see his physical form, yet it appeared as translucent projection viewed through red-tinted mirror. The sensation was profoundly disorienting—he remained aware of his body standing on rocky outcropping in abandoned mountain range, yet simultaneously existed within artificial realm that had been created by Anubis eye's activation.
The Red Zone appeared to be pocket dimension that existed adjacent to normal reality while remaining completely separate from it. Klaus could observe everything that occurred in physical world with perfect clarity, as if watching through one-way glass that allowed complete observation without possibility of detection from the other side.
Yet this wasn't simple invisibility or dimensional hiding. Klaus had stepped outside reality's normal framework entirely, occupying space that existed in parallel to normal existence while maintaining ability to perceive and interact with physical world according to principles that transcended conventional limitations.
Klaus tested his newfound state by attempting to move through Red Zone's crimson landscape. He discovered that normal concepts of distance and traversal had become obsolete—he could relocate instantly to any position within his field of perception simply by directing his consciousness toward desired location.
The experience was like existing as observer in cosmic theater where reality served as stage and he possessed ability to move freely through viewing area while remaining completely invisible to performers. Klaus could see every detail of physical world with clarity that exceeded his already enhanced perception, yet nothing in normal reality could detect his presence within Red Zone's protection.
Fascinated by implications of this capability, Klaus decided to test more complex interactions with physical reality. He focused his attention on distant boulder and attempted to bring it into Red Zone with him.
The process proved surprisingly intuitive. Klaus extended his consciousness toward target, and crimson energy flowed outward like ethereal net that surrounded boulder completely. The moment Red Zone energy made contact, boulder simply vanished from physical reality as if it had never existed.
Klaus looked around Red Zone's crimson landscape and discovered boulder floating nearby, its form tinted red yet otherwise unchanged from normal appearance. The object had been completely extracted from reality and brought into pocket dimension where it existed according to Red Zone's principles rather than normal physical laws.
The implications were staggering. Klaus possessed ability to remove anything from reality and trap it within artificial dimension where he held complete control over conditions and circumstances. Objects brought into Red Zone would exist in state of suspended animation, preserved exactly as they were at moment of extraction yet completely removed from normal space-time.
Klaus tested scope of this capability by targeting increasingly large objects. Small rocks proved trivial to extract. Trees required slightly more effort but still transferred smoothly into Red Zone. Eventually, Klaus focused on entire mountain peak that rose majestically several kilometers away.
The extraction of such massive object required significant concentration, yet Red Zone responded to his will with precision that suggested no theoretical limit to what could be brought into pocket dimension. Klaus watched in fascination as entire mountain simply faded from reality, leaving empty space where geological formation had stood for millennia.
Within Red Zone, the mountain appeared as crimson-tinted mass that floated serenely in artificial space that expanded to accommodate whatever Klaus chose to bring into his private dimension. The object maintained all its original properties yet existed in realm where normal physics held no authority over its behavior.
Klaus spent considerable time experimenting with Red Zone's capabilities, discovering that he could maintain multiple extracted objects simultaneously while moving freely through pocket dimension that served as perfect sanctuary from external threats. The ability provided ultimate defense—when activated, Klaus became completely unreachable by any force operating within normal reality.
More intriguingly, Klaus discovered that time within Red Zone operated according to different principles than normal temporal progression. He could remain within pocket dimension for extended periods while only moments passed in physical world, allowing for planning and preparation that exceeded normal strategic capabilities.
Yet perhaps most remarkably, Klaus found that he could observe and analyze everything within normal reality with analytical precision that his enhanced consciousness provided while remaining completely safe from any potential retaliation. Red Zone transformed him into perfect observer who could study any situation without risk of detection or interference.
After thoroughly exploring Red Zone's capabilities through extensive experimentation, Klaus finally withdrew his consciousness from pocket dimension and returned to normal reality. The transition was smooth and immediate—one moment he existed within crimson-tinted artificial realm, next he stood on rocky outcropping exactly where he had begun activation.
The extracted mountain had returned to its original position the moment Klaus deactivated Red Zone, appearing exactly as it had before extraction as if nothing unusual had occurred. The ability provided perfect temporary removal of objects from reality while ensuring no permanent disruption of normal space-time.
Klaus felt profound satisfaction with understanding he had gained about Red Zone's capabilities. The ability provided strategic advantages that exceeded anything he had previously possessed—perfect invisibility, absolute sanctuary, object extraction, and temporal manipulation all combined into single technique that operated through first eye of Ten Eyes Mantra.
Yet Klaus recognized that Red Zone represented only one aspect of power that ancient consciousness expansion techniques could provide. Void Thinker, connected to second eye Rekalia, promised entirely different type of capability that demanded investigation.
Klaus summoned his status window and focused his attention on second unique ability that had remained unexplored despite its obvious significance. If Red Zone provided perfect interaction with physical reality from position of complete safety, what capabilities might Void Thinker offer?
With anticipation that spoke to recognition that profound discoveries awaited, Klaus prepared to investigate ability that connected him to second eye of Ten Eyes Mantra—power that might prove even more extraordinary than pocket dimension creation he had just mastered.
"Now let's see what Void Thinker can do."
