EPISODE.119
─Boom!
The sound of something exploding as it turned itself into a bullet and shot it out followed and rang in my ears.
Fuhuaak-!
Russell’s model, which penetrated the center of the evil god and rose high into the sky, could not overcome the force of gravity and began to fall down.
My whole body groaned from the recoil of Brahmastra.
The heat that penetrated deep into the lungs, and the pain that seemed to melt away because the intestines were not fully ripe, surged toward the brain without rest.
‘Oh…’
Russell thought in that situation.
‘Already…how many times?’
The moment the thought suddenly cut off with him, Russell’s consciousness returned to the first moment.
-Boom!
To the very moment I turned myself into a magic bullet and fired it…
already hundreds of thousands of times.
It was an iteration that went beyond that. Walking in place with no way to move forward, it seems like you are trapped in an infinite spiral.
No matter how stupid you are, if the same situation repeats countless times, you will know that it is not reality.
The problem is-.
‘How can I get out of this infinite spiral…’
Fuhuaak-.
‘…The point is that I can’t figure it out at all.’
-Boom!
Of course, Russell did not sit still without making an effort.
I didn’t know why this happened again, but there was something to be gained from this situation.
Because the same situation unfolds over and over again.
‘…I can look back and review again and again what I lacked.’
The pain of the recoil eating away at his body was tolerable.
After all, from the moment consciousness was cut off, the body was completely restored and returned to a new one.
However, it was a situation where it was repeating the same thing over thousands of times.
No matter how perfect a human being is, it cannot be the same as a mechanical device.
As a result, the thought of gaining something naturally became dull.
The only thing left in Russell’s head is the question of whether he can escape from this fantasy.
In the meantime, time just continued to pass.
Continue…..
.
.
Time goes by like that.
how long has it been
At some point, Russell’s eyes sank deeply.
In the infinitely repeated process, all idle thoughts disappear.
The only thing he captures with his eyes and mind is a bullet fired into the sky and an objectified image of himself transforming into magic.
As the process was repeated thousands of times, Russell realized something.
That moment.
Clap!
The sound of something snapping resonated deep inside Russell.
Just the right sound, like the gears of a machine.
Soon after, the world around him changed completely.
Briskly and recklessly—!!
The world around him shattered and shattered.
One world collapses like a shard of a broken mirror, and a new world begins to be born outside of it.
‘This…?’
His eyes returned to the clouded pupils at the scene that seemed to welcome Genesis.
As many as seven circles are spinning all at once and another circle is about to be overlaid on top of them!
‘—!?’
Russell’s consciousness soared to the surface.
Fire!
.
.
“Cool—.”
Along with a dry cough, the congestion that had been clogging the inside of his throat bulged out.
The fishy smell of blood that fills the mouth.
‘I’m dying…’
Russell clicked his tongue as he felt the front of his chest getting wet.
How long have you been lying in bed?
Russell let out a sigh, slowly regaining his senses by wiggling his fingers and toes.
‘After…’
It was then.
Someone wiped the wet front of my breasts and then sent water into my mouth.
Thanks to this, thirst was washed away along with the fishy taste of blood that filled my mouth.
Borrowing that power, Russell regained his senses and struggled to get up.
“Grunt.”
He slowly opened his eyes to see Io holding a glass of water in one hand and a blood-stained rag in the other, looking at him with a worried look.
“Are you okay? Mr. Russell?”
Perhaps it was she who let the water flow on him.
“thank you. Mr. Io.”
“Thank you.”
Laughing at Russell’s greeting, she asked again with a worried expression.
“More than that, the body…”
“Hmm…”
Immediately after a brief silence, Russell, who quickly checked his body condition, roughly shrugged his shoulders.
“It seems to be fine rather than worrying.”
I vomited up congestion, but thanks to that, the stuffiness disappeared a lot.
I don’t know how long I’ve been lying down, but a body that hasn’t been used properly should be able to recover in just a few days.
Above all-.
‘8th circle.’
The presence of the 8th Circle that circulates around the heart. What was surprising was the amount of magical power contained within the 8 circles.
It wasn’t just a skin level, it was overwhelming magic power that filled the eighth circle and was spinning.
Looking at the amount of mana alone, it is safe to say that he is not a beginner who has just reached the 8th circle, but a 8th circle master.
Eating a few top-notch magic stones wasn’t enough mana to be filled.
Even if you ate it with a shovel, you would have to eat it over and over again.
‘Where on earth does this amount of mana come from…’
What solved Russell’s question was the notifications that popped up right in front of his eyes.
[You accepted the power of Agni, the incarnation of fire. The degree of understanding of the fire attribute is greatly increased.]
[You have accepted the power of Amphitrite, the embodiment of water. The level of understanding of water attributes is greatly increased.]
[Demetel, incarnation of earth…]
[Zephyros, incarnation of wind…]
and so on…
for a long time after that notifications to follow. Through him, Russell was able to roughly infer the full picture of what happened afterwards.
‘Did the incarnations help me to restore my body?’
Thanks to that, his understanding of the four major elements had grown to the point where he had almost reached the highest level.
What is most surprising is the content located at the end of the piled up notifications.
[You have completed the mission.]
[Reward is given.]
[The constraints and burdens of dragonization are greatly alleviated.]
[Longhwa becomes possible. You can transcend the form of a dragon and turn into a complete dragon.] [It
is also possible to turn a part of the body into a dragon instead of the whole body.]
‘Yonghwa!?’
It must have meant that he could literally transform into a dragon.
Surprised by the ripple power of words, Russell’s eyes calmed down within a moment.
‘Of course, just because he’s Yonghwa can’t be good enough.’
Like Yonginhwa, there might be a backlash after using Yonghwa.
No, even if there was no burden, it could not be guaranteed that Yonghwa was simply strong.
‘No matter how sharp the sword is, if you don’t handle it properly, you can harm yourself.’
He had lived his entire life in human form.
To Russell, the tail and wings that would be born as a dragon were like suddenly sprouting body parts he didn’t normally have.
‘There’s no way I can handle it easily.’
It was clear that it would take considerable effort and practice to adapt to the changed body.
It would take more effort than that to properly handle the power Yonghwa possesses.
‘That doesn’t mean I won’t try, though.’
After all, it was clear that he had another trump card.
“—Russell…?”
What woke Russell from his thoughts was Io’s voice, heard right in front of him.
After he hadn’t spoken for a while, worried, she lowered her head to meet Russell’s gaze.
“Is there any place that makes you uncomfortable?”
They even touched their own and Russell’s foreheads with their palms.
“Oh no. it’s okay. A little further than that…”
Russell, who finally woke up from his thoughts, cleared his throat and moved his eyes.
It’s a bonus that his face blushed a little at a close distance, as if his breath could reach him.
“ah. It’s not… that’s not it…!”
Only then did Io, realizing his actions, waved both of his hands.
I hurriedly blushed and lowered my head, and suddenly I heard someone’s voice.
“Does it look very good?”
Four spirit kings, including Amphitrite, were standing at the entrance of the earthen house, watching them.
An aura of mischief spreading over a benevolent smile.
“I came here thinking I was awakened by a strong wave, but if I had known it would be like this, I would have left and not come.”
Demetel chuckled and laughed.
Zephyrus and Agni also chuckled and nodded.
“Now, play too much.”
Io murmured softly with a face flushed like a carrot.
After spending nearly a month in the spirit realm, he seems to have become quite friendly with the spirit kings.
Besides, Io didn’t want to be a nuisance to Russell.
That would be the case, because the current Russell had someone who promised him a future.
After a while, Demetel looked closely at Russell and said,
“Fortunately, not only did you wake up safely, but you also seem to have recovered your strength.”
“It is thanks to the help of the four spirit kings.”
“Help. I just did what was natural for the benefactor who saved the spirit realm. If you want to say thank you, I think it would be better to say it to the silver dragon next to you.”
“…?”
Demetel said to him who was puzzled with an eye smile.
“It is the silver dragon that has been by your side during the time you are unconscious.”
“Nothing. It’s true how much you serve without sleeping properly.”
Amphitrite pursed her lips.
Russell opened his eyes wide as if surprised by the explanation of the two spirit kings.
He knew that it was she who took care of him.
But I never thought it would be so extreme.
Russell looked back at Io as if the story of the spirit kings was true.
“Uh uh…”
Io’s pupils followed the sphere in all directions except for Russell.
However, Io’s face, which was already blushing, was telling me the answer.
You wouldn’t even have to ask.
“thank you. Mr. Io.”
Io lowered his head and pursed his lips at Russell’s words, which he spoke with even greater sincerity.
“What the hell…I just did the obvious thing.”
At the end, the voice became extremely small, as if it had crawled into a rat hole.
It was Amphitrite that evoked the atmosphere at that time.
match-.
Suddenly, she clapped her hands and entered the earthen house.
He opened his mouth in a confident voice.
“now. Let us uninvited guests hurry up and finish what we have to do and move on.”
“A thing to do…?”
Are you saying that he didn’t come simply to confirm that he had woken up?
A meaningful smile spread across Amphitrite’s face at Russell’s question.
“It’s said to be incarnation, but we are the essence of the spirit king.”
Restoring your body is something you should have done of course- Amphitrite, who said that, looked at Russell with the other three spirit kings and said.
“You can’t forget to repay the benefactor who saved the spirit realm, right?”
