EPISODE.116
The material world and the spirit world.
It was difficult to say that passing through the gap between worlds was never good even with empty words.
Dizziness, as if the sensory organs of the whole body are going numb. What came immediately afterward was a level of nausea that even a person who had reached the level of a superman could not bear.
‘Eup….’
Russell kept his mouth shut at the weight that came up intensely.
‘…Does that mean that Pepper goes through a door like this every time he comes out to the material world?’
It seemed too lively for something like that.
Apparently, there is a difference between a human and a spirit, or if not, there seems to be a difference depending on how to open the door or where.
Russell bit his molars at a groan that would otherwise be inexplicable.
The next moment, anger-.
The clock reflected in his eyes changed completely.
The grotesqueness that seemed to distort the entire space disappears in an instant, followed by a brilliant beam of light like a jewel covering the eyes.
Beautiful brilliance created by the harmony of all natural colors.
Nevertheless, Russell could not look at the color light with ease.
It was because the dizziness and weight that had been pushed up to the limit were pushed up to the tip of the chin.
“Honestly…”
Russell murmured, pressing his fingertips to his temples.
“…I’m going to die.”
Dizziness, like a hangover after emptying the strong liquor in oak barrels, ran through my head at random.
Arain received the words.
“I agree. Benefactor…”
“Ugh!”
Among the three, Io was in the most serious condition.
Even the same superhuman level strongman, the rank is divided according to skill within them.
Of the three sitting here, Io was the one with the least ability. No wonder it was in the worst condition.
But he didn’t want to appear ugly in front of Russell, so he covered his mouth with his hand and held on with all his might.
It was then.
Arain, who had let go of her dizziness before she knew it, came to her side.
“mother?”
Before he could even finish talking, Arain’s elbow hit Io’s waist.
There is still considerable dizziness left. Even with that simple push, Io’s body lost balance and stumbled.
“Aww-!”
The moment the saliva flows out without me knowing, Chuck.
Someone supported Io’s body as he fell. Precisely, it would have been correct to say that he was standing in the direction of Io’s fall.
“Are you okay? Mr. Io.”
Naturally, the identity of ‘that someone’ was Russell.
“Mrs. Russell.”
Unknowingly, in Russell’s arms, Io’s face instantly turns red.
The shock was so intense that the dizziness that had been stirring in my head flew away in an instant.
“Sorry!”
Surprised, Io jumped out of Russell’s arms like a flash war. In order not to show her blushing face, she lowered her head and repeatedly said “I’m sorry” while glancing at her mother who had pushed her away.
At that gaze, Arain just looked away, pretending not to understand.
‘It can’t be helped. If we don’t do this at least…’
Russell answered the mother and daughter’s gaze with a gentle smile.
“If Io-sama is all right, I’m fine.”
Then I checked my surroundings.
“This is… the spirit realm.”
He simply thought of a nature-friendly sight because it was a world inhabited by spirits.
However, the appearance of the spirit realm that he actually witnessed was completely different from his imagination.
Wide open meadows and densely grown forests were the same as in my imagination, but…
‘It’s like a jewel.’
All the components that make up the world were scattering translucent brilliance like colored jewels.
The color is so clear and transparent that the leaves behind the leaves can be seen shining through.
Even the wind that blew faintly mixed the colors.
It was a beautiful sight that could only be seen in a picture-like children’s book.
─.
──.
It was then. A flinching movement was detected among the landscapes that filled the field of vision.
vigilance and curiosity.
As the two gazes blend, they feel that they are watching them.
The size, form, and energy that can be felt are also different. The natives of the spirit realm were the spirits.
Perhaps the reason I reacted the same way was because it was the first time I saw the existence of the material world visiting the spirit realm.
What Russell paid attention to was the owner of a very small and feeble presence that was wriggling among them.
Beings that look like slimes and are the size of a knuckle, crawling around the spirit realm.
The reason Russell was interested in them was simple.
It seems to be one of the spirits, but unusually, they did not feel the same gaze as other spirits.
like-.
‘As if there was no will…’
Io muttered cautiously next to the puzzled Russell.
“I think it is the spirit of the beginning. Mr. Russell.”
“You mean the spirit of the beginning?”
“yes.”
According to Io’s explanation, the spirit of the beginning was literally the source of all spirits.
Born in the spirit realm, receiving the energy of the spirit realm, growing up, and later growing into another spirit…
‘It’s the starting point of evolution.’
It was a strange yet peaceful sight in many ways.
However, the three people who were looking at the scene had the same question on their faces.
“But what the hell happened to the spirit realm and summoned us?”
“That’s what I mean…”
It was then.
Beep beep-!
Sherbet, who had crossed over with Russell, heard the close, familiar cry.
Gailrrruk-!
A small shadow casts over your head.
Looking up, Pepper was circling the air, looking down at Russell.
Apparently, they returned to the spirit realm by using a door only for spirits different from themselves.
“Pepper!”
When Russell shouted, he gurgled!
After a loud roar, the guy flapped his large wings and slowly descended.
Not a miniaturized form, but an obvious spirit fire dragon.
“Russell. This kid is…”
Io, who had been friends with Pepper, muttered as he recognized him.
Apparently, he sensed a similar kind of power from Pepper as he did.
“It happened.”
Russell nodded, affirming Io’s thoughts, and Pepper, who had landed safely in the meantime, lowered his back.
He cried while looking at his back and at Russell, as if telling him to get on.
Gyareuk Gyareuk-.
.
.
The size of Pepper in the form of a fire dragon was comparable to a small hill, except for the wings.
Without difficulty, Pepper, carrying three people on his back, crossed the sky of the spirit realm in an instant.
The wind blows past the three of them, while Io caresses Pepper gently on the neck.
“That little child has grown up to this point.”
A gurgling cry flowed from between Pepper’s teeth, as if he liked Io’s touch.
At that, Russell laughed. He smiled and looked straight ahead.
Ultra-high-speed flight that crosses the skies of the spirit realm at high speed. How far did you cross the sky?
“Benefactor.”
Arain, who was looking around, called out to Russell in a heavy, subdued voice.
A voice filled with signs of alertness.
At that voice, Russell nodded and replied.
“yes. I saw.”
The existence of ‘it’ was so clear that I could see it with my own eyes even if Arain didn’t tell me.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-.
I could see the darkness starting to fall over the clear sky without a single cloud.
Darkness and dark clouds that grew thicker the farther you looked away. In the middle of those dark clouds, purple thunder shone.
Flash-!
Purple lightning is a phenomenon that looks ominous even at a glance.
The problem is that such lightning is not one or two.
Quickly fall-.
────────Gooooooh.
As the center of the dark cloud rotated greatly, purple sparks flew out from all sides.
The light flashes non-stop, and the rotating cloud emits an ominous purple-like light.
A purple lightning storm.
The faces of the three people riding on Pepper’s back stiffened at the same time at the sight, which was unusual even at a glance.
At the moment the flash of light flashed, something was hidden in the dark clouds… the shadow of a huge tentacle suddenly appeared.
“What the hell is that…”
Io murmured with a blue-eyed look at that gigantic yet incomprehensible figure.
Ominous flashes and shapes even at first glance.
What on earth is the despair and fear that rises up all over your body as you get closer?
Io trembled involuntarily at the enormous waves of thought.
Moreover, a part of the spirit world crushed under the magnetic storm is completely collapsing!
Kwagwagwagwagwa-!
A part of the shattered spirit world rises with the storm and is swallowed by something inside the tentacles.
“Are you eating…? The spirit realm?”
Arain muttered in disbelief.
“It seems that this is the identity of the abnormality that occurred in the spirit realm.”
As if affirming the words, Pepper, who was flying with the three people on board, growled lowly with hostility.
gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrled.
“Is that a type of spirit?”
Maybe it’s a spirit born from a mutation. Io murmured at the same thought.
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 a skinny male figure.
An unusual presence even at a glance. That was the beginning.
The earth that stood up after procrastinating changed into the shape of a woman.
The flames of magma that rose from the cracks between them transformed into a man with a huge body, and the moisture in the air gathered together to appear as a woman with long hair.
Io shouted in surprise at the appearance of your presence.
“Zephyros Agni Amphitrite Demetel!”
Those who have even the slightest interest in spirits will never know these names.
“You mean the spirit king?!”
Arain shook her head at the admiring Russell.
“To be precise, they are the avatars of the spirit kings.”
The spirit kings of the four elements are like masters of the main elements that make up the world.
Even by mistake, on the day one of them manifested, the harmony of the four elements could be disrupted and the balance of the world could be disrupted.
That’s why the spirit kings were adjusting the balance of the world by creating their own avatars.
At Arain’s explanation, Demetel, the incarnation of the earth, nodded with a benevolent smile.
“You know that. Meneur of the Elves.”
It was a smile befitting the incarnation of the earth, which has been praised as the mother of all things since ancient times.
“And…”
Then all four incarnations gazed at Russell.
“The lord of all dragons.”
“Long Emperor.”
There was an incarnation who opened his mouth on behalf of those who spoke one word at a time.
“I expected this child from when he became a Fire Dragon, but I never thought he would come into contact with the owner of all dragons in this way.”
Bright yellow eyes shone through the blazing fire. Agni, the incarnation of fire, was looking at Russell and Pepper alternately.
