EPISODE.119
─Bang!
The explosion that occurred as he turned himself into a bullet and fired it, and the sound of something exploding followed him and rang in his ears.
Puhwaak-!
Russell’s new form, which penetrates the center of the evil spirit and rises high in the sky, cannot overcome the force of gravity and begins to fall down.
The entire body creaked due to the recoil of Brahmastra.
The heat that penetrates deep into my lungs and the pain that makes my internal organs feel like they are about to melt before they even get a chance to cook continue to surge into my mind.
‘Bff…’ … .’
In that situation, Russell thought.
‘already… … ‘What number is it?’
The moment his thoughts were cut off, Russell’s consciousness returned to the beginning.
─Bang!
To the moment when I turned myself into a magic bullet and fired it… … .
Hundreds and thousands of times already.
It was a repetition that continued beyond that. I feel like I’m stuck in an infinite spiral, standing still with no way to move forward.
No matter how stupid you are, if the same situation is repeated countless times, you will at least know that it is not reality.
The problem is─.
‘How can I get out of this infinite spiral?’ … .’
Puhwaak-.
‘… … ‘The thing is, I just can’t figure it out.’
─Bang!
Of course, Russell didn’t just sit still and make no effort.
I didn’t know why this was happening repeatedly, but there was something to be gained from this situation.
Because the same situation unfolds over and over again.
‘… … ‘What was lacking can be revisited over and over again.’
The pain of recoil that was eating away at my body was worth enduring.
Anyway, from the moment I lost consciousness, my body was completely recovered and returned to a new state.
However, the same thing was being repeated thousands of times.
No matter how perfect a human being is, he cannot be the same as a mechanical device.
As a result, the thought of achieving something naturally became dull.
The only thing left in Russell’s mind is the question of whether he will be able to escape from this illusion.
Meanwhile, time continued to pass.
Continue… … .
.
.
Just like that, time goes by.
How much time has passed?
At some point, Russell’s eyes sank deeply.
In this infinitely repeated process, all distracting thoughts disappear.
All that can be captured with one’s eyes and mind is the bullet fired into the sky and the objectified image of oneself transformed into magic.
The process was repeated thousands more times, and Russell realized something.
That moment.
Slam!
The sound of something clicking together resonated deep inside Russell.
The sound is just right, like the gears of a machine fitting together.
Immediately after, the world surrounding him changed completely.
Blah, blah, blah, blah-!!
The world around him shattered and broke apart.
One world collapses like a broken mirror, and a new world begins to be born outside of it.
‘This… … ?’
My eyes returned to my pupils that had been clouded by the sight that seemed to be welcoming Genesis.
Seven circles are rotating at the same time, and another circle is about to be added on top of them!
‘─!?’
Russell’s consciousness soared to the surface.
Woe!
.
.
“Cough—.”
With a dry cough, the congestion that had been tightly blocking the inside of my throat came out.
The fishy scent of blood fills your mouth.
‘I’m dying… … .’
Russell clicked his tongue as he felt the front of his chest becoming wet.
How long did you spend lying in bed?
Russell sighed as he slowly regained his senses by wiggling his fingers and toes.
‘after… … .’
It was then.
Someone wiped the wet front of my chest and then poured water into my mouth.

Thanks to this, my thirst is washed away along with the fishy taste of blood that was filling my mouth.
Russell, who regained his senses with that strength, struggled to get up.
“Grunt.”
When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw Io looking at him with concern, holding a cup of water in one hand and a blood-soaked cloth in the other.
“Are you okay? Mr. Russell?”
Perhaps it was she who let the water flow to him.
“thank you. “Mr. Io.”
“Thank you.”
She smiled brightly at Russell’s greeting and asked again with a worried expression.
“Rather than that, the body… … .”
“hmm… … .”
After a moment of silence, Russell quickly checked his physical condition and roughly shrugged his shoulders.
“I think it’s better than worrying.”
Even though I was vomiting blood, thanks to that, a lot of my frustration was gone.
I don’t know how long I’ve been lying down, but my body, which hasn’t been used properly, should take a few days to recover.
Above all-.
‘Circle 8.’
What is the existence of the eighth circle that swirls around the heart? What was surprising was the amount of magical power contained within the 8 circles.
It was not at the level where the outer shell was created, but rather an overwhelming magical power was filling the eighth circle and rotating.
Just looking at the amount of magical power, it is safe to say that he is an 8th circle master, not a beginner who has just reached the 8th circle.
It was not a level of magical energy that could be filled by eating a few top-quality magic stones.
Even if you were to scoop it up with a shovel, you would have to eat it several times.
‘Where on earth did you get this much magical power…? … .’
What resolved Russell’s doubts were the notifications that appeared right before his eyes.
[He accepted the power of Agni, the embodiment of fire. Understanding of the fire attribute increases significantly.]
[You have accepted the power of Amphitrite, the embodiment of water. Understanding of water properties increases significantly.]
[The incarnation of the earth, Demetel… … .]
[The incarnation of the wind, Zephyrus… … .]
etc… … .
The notifications continued for a long time afterwards. Through him, Russell was able to roughly infer the full picture of what happened next.
‘Did the Avatars help to restore my body?’
Perhaps because of this, his understanding of the four major elements has grown to the point where it has almost reached the top level.
What is most surprising is the content located at the end of the stacked notifications.
[You have completed the mission.]
[Compensation will be paid.]
[The restrictions and burden of acceptance are greatly eased.]
[Dragonization becomes possible. You can overcome the appearance of a dragon and transform into a complete dragon.]
[It is also possible to pupify only part of the body rather than the entire body.]
‘Yonghwa!?’
This means that he can literally transform into the form of a dragon.
Russell’s eyes calmly sank for a moment after being surprised by the impact of the words.
‘Of course, just because it’s Yonghwa doesn’t mean it’s all that good.’
Just like with Yonginhwa, there might be a backlash after using Yonginhwa.
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.
For Russell, the tail and wings that would be born through dragon painting were like the sudden growth of body parts that he normally did not have.
‘There’s no way it can be handled easily.’
It was clear that it would take considerable effort and practice to adapt to the changed body.
In order to properly handle Yonghwa’s power, more effort will be needed.
‘But that doesn’t mean I don’t plan on trying.’
Whatever it was, it was clear that he had one more trump card.
“—Russell… … sir?”
What woke Russell up from his thoughts was Io’s voice heard right in front of him.
When he didn’t say anything for a while, she felt worried and lowered her head to make eye contact with Russell.
“Is there anything that makes you feel uncomfortable?”
He even touched his and Russell’s foreheads with both palms.
“Oh, no. it’s okay. It’s a little further away than that… … .”
Only then did Russell wake up from his thoughts, cleared his throat and moved his eyes.
It was a bonus that my face turned a little red because the distance was so close that my breath almost touched me.
“ah. Oh my… … Well, that’s not it… … !”
Only then did Io realize what he had done and waved both his hands.
I quickly blushed and lowered my head, and suddenly I heard someone’s voice.
“The atmosphere looks very good?”
Four spirit kings, including Amphitrite, were standing at the entrance of the earthen house, looking at them.
A ray of mischief spread across a benevolent smile.
“I came here thinking I was woken up by a strong wave. If I had known this would happen, I should have stayed away instead of coming.”
Demetel chuckled and laughed.
Zephyrus and Agni also chuckled and nodded.
“Come on, you’re being too playful.”
Io muttered softly with a face as red as blush.
After spending nearly a month in the spirit world, it seems like I have become quite friendly with the spirit kings.
Besides, Io didn’t want to be a bother to Russell.
That’s because there was someone who promised Russell the future.
The Spirit Kings continued to laugh at Io’s appearance. After a while, Demetel looked at Russell carefully and said,
“Fortunately, not only did he wake up safely, but his strength seems to have been restored well.”
“It is thanks to the help of the four Spirit Kings.”
“What about help? I was just doing the right thing for my benefactor who saved the spirit world. “If you want to say thank you, it would be better to say it to the silver dragon next to you.”
“… … ?”
To the puzzled man, Demetel spoke with a smile.
“It is the silver dragon that has been by your side during the time you were unconscious.”
“No problem. “It’s amazing how much you treat people without even sleeping properly.”
Amphitrite pouted her lips.
Russell’s eyes widened in surprise at the two Spirit Kings’ explanation.
He knew it was she who took care of him.
But, I never thought he would be so sincere.
Russell looked at Io as if asking if the story of the Spirit Kings was true.
“Uh, uh… … .”
Io’s eyes roll in all directions except toward Russell.
But Io’s already red face was giving the answer.
There’s no need to ask.
“thank you. “Mr. Io.”
Io lowered her head and pursed her lips as Russell spoke with even more sincerity.
“W-what… … “I was just doing the obvious.”
At the end, the voice became quieter, as if crawling into a rat hole.
It was Amphitrite who brightened the mood at that time.
match-.
Suddenly she clapped her hands and entered the mud house.
He opened his mouth in a confident voice.
“now. “For the uninvited guests, let’s quickly finish what we have to do and leave the place.”
“A thing to do… … ?”
Does that mean he didn’t come simply to confirm that he had woken up?
A meaningful smile spread across Amphitrite’s face at Russell’s question.
“We may be called incarnations, but we are the physical form of the Spirit King in name and appearance.”
Restoring your body is something that should have been done -, Amphitrite said as she looked at Russell along with the other three spirit kings.
“You can’t forget to repay the benefactor who saved the spirit world, right?”
