Episode 232
EPISODE.116
The material world and the spirit world.
Crossing the gap between worlds was a difficult task that could never be described as a good thing, even with empty words.
A feeling of dizziness, as if the entire body’s sense organs were disintegrating. What came immediately afterward was a level of nausea that was difficult to bear even for someone who had reached the level of a superhuman.
‘town… … .’
Russell closed his mouth tightly as the weight rose intensely.
‘… … ‘Do you mean Pepper goes through a door like this every time she comes to the material world?’
It seemed too lively for something like that.
There seems to be a difference between humans and spirits, or else depending on the method or location of opening the door.
Russell clenched his molars in a growling noise that could not be explained otherwise.
The next moment, Hwaak-.
The clock reflected in his eyes changed completely.
The strangeness that seemed to distort the entire space disappeared in an instant, and then a beam of light as brilliant as a jewel covered the front of my eyes.
A beautiful glow created by the harmony of all natural colors.
Nevertheless, Russell could not look at the colored light with peace of mind.
I was so dizzy and the weight was all the way up to my chin.
“to be honest… … .”
Russell muttered, pressing his temples with his fingertips.
“… … “I’m dying.”
Dizziness, like a hangover after emptying an oak barrel of strong alcohol, is massaging my head.
Arain received those words.
“I agree. benefactor… … .”
“Woo!”
Of the three, the one in the most serious condition was Io.
Even if they are strong at the same superhuman level, they are ranked again according to their abilities.
Of the three present, Io was the least skilled. There was nothing strange about it being in the worst condition.
However, because I didn’t want to show my ugly side in front of Russell, I just covered my mouth with my hand and held on with all my might.
It was then.
Arain, who had already lost much of his dizziness, came to her side.
“oh… … you?”
Before he could finish speaking, Arain’s elbow hit Io’s waist.
A significant amount of dizziness still remains. With just that simple push, Io’s body lost balance and stumbled.
“Ugh-!”
The moment I started drooling without realizing it, Chuck.
Someone helped Io’s body as it fell. To be precise, it would have been correct to say that he was standing in the direction where Io fell.
“Are you okay? “Mr. Io.”
Naturally, the identity of ‘that someone’ was none other than Russell.
“Yes, Mr. Russell.”
Unknowingly, Io’s face turns red as she is held in Russell’s arms.
A shock so strong that the dizziness that had been churning through my head disappeared in an instant.
“S-sorry!”
A startled Io jumped out of Russell’s arms like a flash. He lowered his head to avoid showing his red face and repeatedly said, “I’m sorry,” while he glanced at his mother who had pushed him away.
At that gaze, Arain just looked the other way and looked away as if he didn’t understand.
‘There’s nothing you can do about it. If you don’t do this… … .’
Russell responded to the mother and daughter’s gaze with a subtle smile.
“If Io is okay, I’m fine.”
Then I checked the surroundings.
“This place… … “The spirit world.”
As a world where spirits live, he simply thought of a nature-friendly scene.
However, the appearance of the spirit world that I actually witnessed was completely different from what I imagined.
The scenery was the same as in my imagination, with wide-open grasslands and densely grown forests, but… … .
‘It’s like a jewel.’
All the components that make up the world were scattering translucent brilliance, like colorful jewels.
The color is so clear and transparent that you can see the leaves behind the leaves shining through.
Even in the blowing wind, colors were faintly mixed.
It was a beautiful scene, like a painting, something you might only see in a storybook.
─.
──.
It was then. I sensed a flinching movement among the scenery that filled my field of vision.
Vigilance and curiosity.
They feel two eyes mixing together and watching them.
The size, shape, and energy felt are all different. They were the natives of the spirit world, the spirits.
Perhaps the reason he reacted the way I did was because it was his first time seeing a being from the material world who had visited the spirit world.
What Russell noticed was the owner, a very small and feeble presence moving slowly among them.
Beings that look like slime and are the size of a finger joint, crawling around the spirit world.
The reason Russell was interested in these guys was simple.
They clearly seem to be a branch of spirits, but strangely, they do not feel the same gaze as other spirits.

‘As if there is no will… … .’
Io muttered carefully next to the puzzled Russell.
“I think it’s a spirit from the beginning. Mr. Russell.”
“You mean the spirit of the beginning?”
“yes.”
According to Io’s explanation, the primordial spirit is literally the source of all spirits.
Born in the spirit world, raised by receiving the energy of the spirit world, and later growing into another spirit… … .
‘It is the first starting point of evolution.’
It was a strange yet peaceful sight in many ways.
However, the same question appeared on the faces of the three people looking at the scene.
“But what on earth happened to the spirit world to invite us?”
“So… … .”
It was then.
Piyu Piyu!
The sherbet that came over with Russell was crowded, and a familiar crying sound was heard.
Purr purr!
A small shadow falls over your head.
When I looked up, I saw Pepper circling sharply in the air, looking down at Russell.
It seems that they returned to the spirit world using a door unique to spirits, which are different from their own.
“Pepper!”
Russell shouted, purr purr!
After roaring loudly, it flapped its large wings and slowly descended.
Not a miniaturized form, but a clear appearance of a spirit fire dragon.
“Mr. Russell. This kid… … .”
Io, who was in contact with Pepper, recognized the guy and muttered.
It seemed like he felt a similar kind of power from Pepper as himself.
“So it happened.”
Russell nodded and confirmed Io’s thoughts, and Pepper, who had landed safely, lowered her back down.
He cried, looking alternately at his back and at Russell, as if telling him to get on top of him.
Purr, purr, purr.
.
.
Pepper, who was in the form of a fire dragon, was comparable in size to a small hill, excluding the wings.
Without difficulty, Pepper, carrying three people on his back, crossed the sky of the spirit world in an instant.
The colorful wind passes by the three at high speed, and in the meantime, Io gently strokes Pepper’s neck.
“That little kid has grown up so far now.”
Pepper seemed to really like Io’s touch, and a growling sound came out between Pepper’s teeth.
Russell chuckled at that sight. She smiled and looked straight ahead.
Ultra-fast flight across the sky of the spirit world at high speed. How far did it cross the sky like that?
“Benefactor.”
Arain, who was looking around, called out to Russell in a heavy voice.
A voice full of warning.
Russell nodded and responded to that voice.
“yes. “I saw it.”
Even if Arain didn’t tell me, the presence of ‘it’ was clear enough that I could see it with my own eyes.
Coo coo coo coo coo-.
I could see light darkness starting to fall over the clear, cloudless sky.
The darkness and dark clouds grew thicker the further away you looked, and in the middle of the dark clouds, purple thunder shone.
Flash!
A purple thunderbolt, a phenomenon that looks ominous even at a glance.
The problem is that such lightning strikes do not occur one by one.
Pajik, Pajik-.
────────Gooooooo.
As the center of the dark cloud rotated greatly, purple sparks flew out from all directions.
Light flashes continuously, and the clouds that rotate accordingly emit an ominous purple-like light.
Purple lightning storm.
The faces of the three people riding on Pepper’s back stiffened at the sight of the sight, which was unusual at first glance.
The moment there was a flash of light, something was hidden inside the dark clouds… … The shadow of a huge tentacle appeared at first glance.
“What is that… … .”
Io muttered with a bewildered expression at the sight of that gigantic yet incomprehensible figure.
An ominous flash and shape at a glance.
What exactly is the meaning of the despair and fear that creeps up through my body the closer I get?
Io trembled unconsciously due to the enormous wave of thoughts.
Moreover, the part of the spirit world that was crushed under the magnetic storm was completely collapsing!
Kwagwagwagwagwagwa-!
The shattered part of the spirit world is carried up by the storm and is swallowed by something inside the tentacle.
“eat… … Is it there? “The spirit world?”
Arain muttered in disbelief.
“I think that is the true nature of the strange thing that occurred in the spirit world.”
As if to confirm those words, Pepper, who was flying with three people on board, growled lowly with hostility.
Purr purr… … .
“Could that be some kind of spirit?”
Perhaps it is a spirit born due to mutation. Io muttered with the same thought in mind.
The answer to that murmur came from a completely different direction.
“Not like that.”
The voice seemed to be mixed with the blowing wind, but soon the wind transformed into the shape of a thin man.
An unusual presence even at first glance. That was the beginning.
The earth that rose up slowly changed into the shape of a woman.
The magma flames rising from the crack in between changed into the shape of a huge man, and the moisture in the air gathered together and appeared as a woman with long hair.
Io shouted in surprise at the appearance of your presence.
“Zephyrus, Agni, Amphitrite, Demetel!”
These are names that anyone with even the slightest interest in spirits would never know.
“You mean the Spirit King?!”
Arain shook his head at Russell, who looked up to him.
“To be exact, they are the avatars of the spirit kings.”
The spirit kings of the four major elements are like the masters of the major elements that make up the world.
If one of them were to appear, even by mistake, the harmony of the four elements could be disrupted and the balance of the world would be unbalanced.
Therefore, the Spirit Kings created their own Avatars to control the balance of the world.
At Arain’s explanation, Demetel, the embodiment of the earth, nodded with a benevolent smile.
“You know very well. Meneur of the elves.”
It was a smile worthy of the embodiment of the earth, which has long been praised as the mother of all things.
“and… … .”
Next, the eyes of all four incarnations turn to Russell.
“Lord of all dragons.”
“The Dragon Emperor.”
There was an incarnation who opened his mouth on behalf of them who spoke one word at a time.
“I expected this child from the time he became a fire dragon, but I never thought he would meet the master of all dragons like this.”
Bright yellow eyes sparkling between burning flames. Agni, the embodiment of fire, was looking at Russell and Pepper alternately.
