I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 367

At first, I just brushed it off thinking he had simply crafted a nice gauntlet.

However, my mind changed after seeing the telekinesis magic that Lackey activated.

Title) Anyone able to engrave telekinesis magic by any chance?

Wild Grylls

(Video of Lackey using telekinesis magic to uproot a tree)

Urgent.

ㄴHeavenly Demon: That seems like it will be quite a useful ability.

ㄴSword Matstar: Telekinesis shouldn’t be that strong though....

ㄴIf telekinesis were that strong, every random joe would be using it;;

ㄴTelekinesis magic isn’t that strong. Originally, it’s a magic that’s closer to just making things a bit convenient.

ㄴBesides, isn’t controlling it super tricky?

ㄴStarlight Lady: It depends on what kind of work you’re doing. A brutally simple task like that is actually quite easy.

ㄴThen what about uprooting a whole tree?

ㄴStarlight Lady: That’s precisely why telekinesis is a tricky magic. The farther the distance, and the larger the object you’re trying to move, the heavier the mana consumption gets.

ㄴDoes Lackey have a lot of mana too?

ㄴㄴㄴ Grylls is the one with abnormally high mana; Lackey is just at an average level.

ㄴAverage isn’t quite right. That guy must have grown up eating all kinds of random stuff too.

ㄴDon’t know about any of that, if it looks cool, take my upvote lolll

ㄴUpvoting right now lolll

ㄴYou can cast telekinesis and uproot whole trees? How can anyone resist this lolll

ㄴGrylls asking for an engraving again wasn’t for nothing lolll

ㄴIf you engrave it, can you use telekinesis every time you clench your fist?

ㄴKiyahhhhh lololol

ㄴBut where do you even use something like that?

ㄴI’m sure there are plenty of places to use it.

ㄴPrincess Chaenggu: Even I rarely do that kind of thing, but he does it so easily. It must be the power of Orichalcum and Mithril, right?

ㄴSaying you rarely do it means you can do it?

ㄴPrincess Chaenggu: Yep. Sometimes tearing monsters limb from limb with it is fun, you see.

ㄴ;;;

ㄴAverage demon behavior;;;

ㄴDoing that kind of thing with telekinesis of all things;;

Calling things close to an illusion ’fantasy’ is only because they aren’t real; when an illusion becomes reality, it is no longer fantasy.

I watched the comments popping up like mushrooms after rain and turned my head. Where I looked, a tree stood completely uprooted.

Not only was the impact powerful, but it also seemed practical enough.

’It’ll be especially effective against flying monsters.’

The reason I got hooked on telekinesis was precisely because of flying monsters.

During the last attack, I had felt how unfair they were multiple times.

In particular, one guy bounced off my arrow even when hit because of its hard outer hide.

’To be honest, hitting it with an arrow in the first place was close to a miracle anyway.’

No matter how great my archery talent was, I couldn’t hit the target every single time.

In such a situation, telekinesis could be the power to turn disadvantageous odds around.

However, telekinesis wasn’t omnipotent either.

"Lackey. Can you fold paper with telekinesis?"

"I cannot do that."

"Why?"

"The power is too strong, so if I try to hold paper, it will just get crumpled."

Delicate tasks were virtually impossible. Lackey even found it difficult to move objects using telekinesis.

The instant he thought of ’holding’ an object, it would crush or crumple.

The output of the Mythricon gauntlet was so excessive that smaller objects suffered severe damage.

"Then does that mean it’s possible with bare hands?"

"It is possible, but the internal energy consumption is far too heavy."

"So both have pros and cons."

Doing it barehanded consumed way too much mana, while the Mythricon gauntlet had far too much output.

Had it been a material other than Mythricon, it might be different, but currently, all I had were Mithril and Orichalcum.

’I’m going to use it for combat anyway.’

Wearing the Mythricon gauntlet would be much better than bare hands.

Above all, ’delicacy’ was a word that couldn’t exist for me anyway.

When I couldn’t even control my own Aura right now, what delicate tasks was I talking about?

’Rather than treating the damage, it’s better to cleanly eliminate the source of the damage.’

Thinking so, I kept an eye on the Gallery comments.

It was clearly a post asking for an engraving, but before I knew it, they were just messing around among themselves.The source of this chapter is novelping(.)com.

ㄴKing Reor: Tearing off a monster’s limbs with telekinesis? Just with that? lol

ㄴPrincess Chaenggu: And what can you do, mister?

ㄴKing Reor: It’s hard for me, but my daughter is great at it. Last time, she uprooted an entire mountain lol

ㄴPrincess Chaenggu: That’s not even funny haha. That’s a hard task even for me though.

ㄴIn the end, he’s just bragging about his daughter lolll

ㄴWhy are you bragging about your daughter instead of doing it yourself?

ㄴKing Reor: She is a daughter more graceful and gentle than anyone, so I should brag here at least. It’s because I can’t speak publicly due to my position.

ㄴIs she pretty?

ㄴSince she’s of the Demon Race, her looks are above average. It’s just that opinions differ because of skin color.

ㄴHorns are also a matter of preference. Plus, even the whites of her eyes are pitch black.

ㄴAhem. That’s precisely what makes her hot, though.

ㄴIf Elves stop at simply being pretty, the Demon Race is uniquely pretty. Yup yup.

ㄴHonestly, admit it. Only the colors are weird, but her actual features are pretty.

ㄴKing Reor: She looks like my wife, so she’s pretty.

ㄴDoes she have a boyfriend?

ㄴKing Reor: Defeat me first lol

ㄴSo she doesn’t. Okay.

ㄴThis guy looks freaking nervous lolll

ㄴKing Reor: Try me if you want. Before that, you’d get beaten to a pulp by my daughter though lololol

ㄴHas that actually happened before?

ㄴKing Reor: Yeah, plenty of times. In her own words, she says she’ll only date someone who can crush a mountain lol

ㄴWild Grylls: Hey. Stop talking nonsense and listen to me for a second. Is there anyone who can engrave telekinesis for me?

ㄴI Will Become a Duke: If there is no one else, I shall take the commission.

ㄴWild Grylls: What about the commission you took before? Did you finish all of that?

ㄴI Will Become a Duke: Thanks to working with Orichalcum, progress is fast. I estimate it will be completed within two days.

ㄴWild Grylls: Then can I ask you for this one as well?

ㄴI Will Become a Duke: Absolutely!

When I asked carefully, I Will Become a Duke snatched at the offer immediately.

Certainly, in a situation like this, there was no one else who could do such work besides him.

[Wild Grylls: Hello. It was awkward to write in the comments, so I’m sending a message. How many days do you think the telekinesis magic will take?]

[I Will Become a Duke: Yes. Since it’s easier than Teleport, I’ll be able to craft it quickly.]

[Wild Grylls: Thank you. If possible, I’d like 2 telekinesis engravings, please. Can the payment be the same as last time?]

[I Will Become a Duke: Of course!]

Unlike the bickering Dwarf, my relationship with I Will Become a Duke was closer to a strict business partnership.

Even the payment given to him was just handing over a few lumps of Orichalcum.

Of course, if I liked the final product later, I intended to give him Mithril as well.

[I Will Become a Duke: If I may be so bold, there is an engraving I would like to recommend.]

[Wild Grylls: What is it?]

[I Will Become a Duke: It’s called Haste, a spell that increases the speed of the user or target.]

Just hearing about it, it sounded like an amazing spell. A type of buff magic.

It would surely be extremely useful even in the Forest of Four Seasons, which overflowed with dangers on all sides.

[Wild Grylls: That sounds like an awesome spell. Can you make that for me as well?]

[I Will Become a Duke: Of course. Furthermore, I can finish this within an hour.]

[Wild Grylls: There aren’t any side effects, right?]

[I Will Become a Duke: I can’t say there are none. Once the effect ends, your body might stumble a bit due to the sudden drop in speed sensation.]

At first listen, it was a side effect that could be ignored. But for me, it was different.

That little stumble could put my life hanging by a thread.

It would be best to use it in dangerous situations or when a swift, decisive strike was required.

’Let’s receive it first and think later.’

I transferred the payment to I Will Become a Duke. Now all that remained was waiting.

It seemed there would be quite a lot of things to slot into the Infini—I mean, Mythricon gauntlet.

’Are there any other useful spells besides those?’

Teleport and telekinesis. With just these two, I could milk them for all they were worth.

However, since no one knew what might happen in the future, I wanted to reserve as much power as possible.

’Let’s just take whatever engravings I can get for now. I can think about it slowly later.’

Rather than that, there was a need to craft another gauntlet—specifically, a human-use Mythricon gauntlet.

The gauntlet given to Lackey was customized for his hands.

Like a true gorilla, his fingers were short while his palms were wide. It was bound to be uncomfortable if I wore it.

"Ahjussi."

"Speak."

"Ahjussi, you want one too, right?"Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping dot com.

"...."

Besides, Ludwig looked like he wanted one prepared for himself too.

One might ask if a Mythricon sword wasn’t enough, but it was different.

’For Ludwig, it feels more like muscle support rather than magic.’

In a pinch, it could also double as a shield. Making one couldn’t hurt.

Coincidentally, I also had gloves woven from World Tree silk. I could just layer it over them.

Instead, I would need a pair of everyday gloves though....

[Wild Grylls: I have World Tree flowers and honey extracted from them, would you like them?]

[Let’s Grow Trees: Ah! Something so precious...! If you give them to me, I will gladly accept!]

[Wild Grylls: Instead, I need more gloves made of World Tree silk... Would that be possible?]

[Let’s Grow Trees: I’ll even throw in cigars!]

Thanks to the registered user who foamed at the mouth over anything related to the World Tree, I was able to obtain them easily.

After that, I asked the Dwarf to draft a blueprint since Ludwig and I needed gauntlets crafted for us.

[Passing Dwarf: That’s annoying though...]

[Wild Grylls: By any chance, don’t you want to drink World Tree mead?]

[Passing Dwarf: Good.]

There was no smoother deal than this. Such a guy who would die for alcohol.

With the preliminary work roughly finished, all that remained was waiting.

I didn’t stay idle while waiting. I had to prevent Lackey from messing around with the gauntlet.

"Master. Now that I have obtained this, I cannot contain my strength."

"Shall I help you contain it?"

"Actually, I was joking."

Well, once I threatened him, Lackey exercised self-restraint on his own.

Still, as if he couldn’t resist playing with telekinesis, he kept playing around with it.

Honestly speaking, I was jealous. I wanted to play using a toy (?) like that too.

’Teleport is one thing, but telekinesis has endless possibilities.’

While doing my tasks, a message arrived from I Will Become a Duke.

It said the Haste engraving was done. His words that it wouldn’t take long were true.

[Wild Grylls: Thank you. If I’m satisfied, I’ll give you a small amount of Mithril as well.]

[I Will Become a Duke: Oh my. Something so valuable... Are you sure you can really give it to me?]

[Wild Grylls: What’s the big deal? It keeps growing in my backyard anyway.]

Still, just in case, I intended to give literally only a small amount.

Soon, a prototype arrived from I Will Become a Duke. Contrary to expectations, it looked like a ring.

’Ah. There’s a part that opens up at the bottom.’

It seemed it was meant to be attached using this opening.

Before giving it to Lackey, I decided to test it out myself first.

Using the engraved magic was easy. You just injected mana into the ring’s gem and that was it.

Oooong!

As soon as I channeled mana into the spell-engraved Orichalcum, a strange sensation washed over my body.

It wasn’t that time slowed down... but rather that vitality surged throughout my body.

Haste was a spell that boosted the user’s speed for a set period.

’Come to think of it, saying it boosts speed is ambiguous. Does running speed get faster too?’

Thinking that, I turned my head. Where I aimed to go was toward a patch of forest slightly further away.

Although the distance was somewhat far, since I activated Haste magic, I should be able to reach it quickly.

’With the mindset of taking a light leap....’

And so, I leaned my upper body forward and put strength into my feet.

Kwaddeudeok! Kwadeuk! Kwajik! Ujikkeun!

The moment my feet left the ground, I collided with countless trees, creating a scene of sheer destruction.

Failing to control my speed, I had literally turned into a human cannonball.

Fortunately, the trees blocked my way; otherwise, I might have flown off into somewhere weird.

Apparently, the problem arose because too much mana had been injected into the engraving.

"...."

I pulled myself up from among the collapsed debris.

Wood splinters and various debris showered over my face, but I didn’t care.

"...Ouch."

It just hurt a little bit. Had I not trained in External Arts, I would have suffered severe injuries.

If I knew it’d turn out like this, I should have used Body-Protecting Gangqi. Now it looked like I’d just waste an Elixir.

’...Wait, isn’t this surprisingly usable?’

The move called ’Tackle’ didn’t exist for nothing.
