Book 11: Chapter 11: The Circle of Transmigration

W-Where am I?

Just one more step and I couldve punched Evil God, but I ended up being teleported somewhere else.

It was pitch black all around me, so I didnt have an inkling where I was.

Moreover

Seriously I cant teleport.

I couldnt create a magic teleportation circle.

Not only that, I couldnt even release my mana.

Whats happening?

@#$

Its my fault.

My intuition told me to stop, but I ignored it.

Are Tina and the others safe?

We prepared as much as we could, so they should be able to return to the mansion even without me. Sea God is there, so as long as they manage to reach home, Evil God wont be able to do anything to them.

I already told them to escape without any hesitation if something happened to me. Well, itll be good if they did run away, though

Even if they escaped safely they will probably be worried about me, so I should hurry and return as soon as possible.

Alright, lets grasp the situation first.

The weird thing about this is my inability to conjure magic.

I could feel that I was standing somehwre, but

It felt as if my body was scraggy.

Its as if I had turned into a dragon or something

I congratulate you on your birth.

Someones voice suddenly resounded out of nowhere.

Birth, what did he mean by that?

Besides, just where is that voice coming from?

It felt familiar, as if I already heard it somewhere before.

Whats up? Your eyes can see, supposedly.

Even if you tell me that, I cant see anything.

Thats because youre not thinking about seeing your surroundings. If you wish for it with all your might, you will definitely be able to do that.

Wish with all my might Is it really fine with only that much?

I didnt really get it, but I got nothing to lose, so I obeyed the voice.

I wanna see around me, I wanna see, I wanna see, I wanna see.

Ohh!! My surroundings have become faintly discernible.

There was a huge dragon in front of me, and it was no other than Soryuu.

Once again, congratulations on being born.

Soryuu-sama?

Yeah, thats right Hm? Oh, youre a transmigrator, huh.

Yeah, Im a transmigrator, but Soryuus attitude was different from before.

Ahm! May I know what happened to me?

I probably got caught in Evil Gods curse.

As a result, I got teleported here, or so I thought.

But It wasnt so.

Seems like you dont know what situation you are in.

Soryuu then peered at me.

My figure was reflected in his ginormous pupils.

And what was there wasnt me, but a blue dragon.

When I raised my right hand, the blue dragon reflected in Soryuus eyes also raised its right hand.

This dragon was my current appearance, apparently.

...Eh.

W-Why!!?

Transmigrator, it seems like youre still confused. Well, its understandable. You suddenly became a dragon, after all. If its alright with you, I can answer your questions within my ability.

Soryuu kindly told me that.

But, I dunno why. I felt his attitude is different from when we met before.

Soryuu-sama. This is the second time weve met, havent we?

The first time was when I asked for Soryuu-samas claw to make Kataras drop.

It hadnt been that long since then. Did he forget?

What? But I dont have any memory ofOh, wait. Are you perhaps

The gigantic pupil stared at me.

It felt as if he saw right through me, through every fiber of my being.

Halt I see. You are Halt, arent you?

Y-Yes! Yes, its me, Halt!!

Finally, he remembered was what I thought, but I was mistaken.

You came from ten thousand years ago in the future by virtue of the Evil Gods curse, didnt you?

...Eh?

I didnt understand what Soryuu was saying.

This is the first time I met you.

Pardon?

The me you met before must be the me living ten thousand years from now.

W-What does that mean?

You have been cursed by the Evil God of this world. Thats how you travelled back 10, 000 years and came here. I know this, because I have the precognition the ability to see the future.

I did read somewhere before that Soryuu had precognition.

Thats good.

The problem was the curse casted on me.

I dont understand. Just what kind of curse was casted on me!?

My status was supposedly frozen in the first place.

Even Kataras drop couldnt break this Static Status Curse.

And yet, Im here now, transformed into a dragon and sent back 10, 000 years into the past.

Does that mean the curse I got caught in was powerful enough to overwrite the Static Status Curse?

I dont understand this transformation to dragon business, nor getting blown 10, 000 years into the past.

The curse casted on you is [Cycle of Transmigration] Curse.

C-Cycle of Transmigration?

Thats right. This particular curse is quite particular. Its one that transfers the psyche of a person only.

Pysche then, does that mean only my consciousness is within this dragons body?

You can say that. Normally, psyche and souls are inseparable. However, the one you got cursed with forcefully separates the soul and psyche when certain conditions are met.

In this world, people are made out of [body], [soul], and [psyche], or consciousness.

The figure of the body is ingrained within the soul, so thats the reason why we can revive people through the resurrection spell even if the body had been destroyed.

Even if there was no body, as long as the soul was intact, then it could be solved somehow. However, if the soul was damaged, then the worst result would be death.

[Psyche] is the element that controls the soul and the body thats how Soryuu explained it to me.

Halt. The Evil God casted the Static Status Curse on you, didnt he?

Yes, thats true.

Thats a very powerful curse. When you were transmigrated as Saijou Haruto, the curse had been casted onto your soul, wasnt it? Because it is a curse that had been [Fixed] onto your soul, unless your soul disappears, you will never be able to lift this.

By the way, since the soul itself had been frozen, my soul would never be destroyed.

If that is the case, then this matter has become all the more confusing to me.

The curse of the transmigration cycle doesnt meddle one iota with the body and the soul.

Hm. so what does that mean, then?

Because it cannot meddle with the soul, [Static Status Curse] cant break the [Curse of the Transmigration].

Meaning to say, psyche had been blasted into this space, so its a bit different from transmigration.

I thought I had been teleported along with the space surrounding me, but the reality might be a little nastier than that, probably.

My defenseless body might be splayed in front of the Evil God, afer all.

Hm?

Wait a sec.

If my psyche is the only thing moved to this palace, then my body and soul set should still be in front of Evil God, right?

Im afraid so.

In that case, Evil God probably cant do anything to my body, given that its in the state of [Static Status].

Thats only if the Evil God didnt teleport your body somewhere else.

Well, I think it would be okay.

As long as Im still inside the same world, I could teleport no matter where it is.

I felt a little relieved.

Now, all I had to do was to get inside my body and go home afterward.

Soryuu-sama. How do I get back to my original body?

Soryuu understood all the creations existing in this world.

He could even see into the future.

He probably knew the way to lift this transmigration cycle curse.

I was right, but

Thats easy. You have to complete your transmigration into all the Six Realms in short, you just have to die 6 times.

Eh?...

Dying just once had already made me want to punch the Evil God, the root cause of my death, and yet

In order to return to my original body, I needed to die six times, apparently.
