I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 408

I stared at the Aura Blade, which hadn’t become bigger and more beautiful than before, but possessed a far deeper shade of color.

It was already quite dense before, but now it was even more intense.

If previously the Aura Blade felt like a layer coated onto the sword, now it completely encased the blade.

The actual blade was completely invisible, and only the Aura Blade met the eye.

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Was this because I ate Water Dragon and drank infused liquor yesterday?

"Master. My magic became extraordinarily strong!"

"Stronger?"

"Let me use an analogy. What used to require 10 of Internal Energy now only requires 5. The quality of my Internal Energy has risen."

While I was contemplating as I looked at the Aura Blade, Lackey spoke to me.

That since yesterday, the concentration of mana became denser. It wasn’t merely an increase in quantity.

This could be clearly realized through Ludwig’s change as well.

"The Aura is much denser than before."

"Were your restrictions lifted?"

"No. Just as that gorilla said, the concentration of mana has deepened."

The quantity hadn’t changed, but the mana concentration had deepened. That was a very positive change.

Quietly staring at the Aura Blade completely covering the sword, I placed a finger near it.

In the past, even if I touched it with my finger, it didn’t get cut.

"Ouch! It stings!"

But not anymore. Merely touching it sliced my hand.

I put the finger with beaded blood into my mouth. Even a lightsaber wouldn’t be like this; it was far too sharp.

At this rate, it could harm not only others but even myself. It had seriously grown strangely strong.

Title) Behold my Aura

Wild Grylls

I drank infused liquor and ate Water Dragon spicy stew yesterday and it turned out like this.

It’s nice that my mana pool didn’t inflate, but it’s so sharp that I’m starting to get scared.

└ Heavenly Demon) That is not an Aura Blade, but Sword Gang.

└ Sword Matstar) It’s potato tomato, really. Still, getting sharper isn’t a bad thing.

Wild Grylls) Can the sharpness rise even when my realm hasn’t advanced?

└ Heavenly Demon) It happens because the Internal Energy you harbor is extraordinary.

└ Sword Matstar) I had a moment like that in the past too. You just need to control it well, but...

└ Grylls can’t control it though kekeke

└ The biggest problem is that he can’t control it kekekeke

└ Isn’t he seriously going to slice his own arm off someday? kekeke

└ With normal experts you feel reassured that they’re on your side, but with Grylls you feel relieved that the bastard is on your side kekekeke

└ Ah kekeke His very existence is a walking hazard kekeke

└ That’s talent suited for the Forest of the Four Seasons keke

└ Is ’talent’ even the right word? keke

└ But seriously, it’s weird every time I see it. Why does he get strong in such a absurd way?

└ What do you think Grylls would be called if he went outside? At least definitely not a Sword Master.

└ What else would they call him? A weapon of war, obviously kekeke

When I posted about this on the Gallery, similar replies came back.

Saying it happened because the concentration of mana became excessively dense.

I could let it slide as a good thing, but Heavenly Demon’s comment fueled my concern.

└ Heavenly Demon) However, too much is as bad as too little, so it would be wise to adjust it quickly.

Wild Grylls) Since the Internal Energy itself thickened, can I even do it?

└ Heavenly Demon) Reducing the amount would work, but... do your best.

Wild Grylls) ;;

Even Heavenly Demon herself indirectly expressed that ’there is no answer’.

For a moment I was dumbfounded, but I believed that even if I couldn’t find an answer right now, I would find one day.

There was one problem. The more I grew, the mana grew at nearly double that speed.

Try as I might, I couldn’t catch up to it. But it wasn’t like I could starve myself either.

’Did this seriously happen just from eating spicy fish stew once?’

What was even more ridiculous was that I was an exceptionally extreme case.

Even Lackey, Ludwig, and finally Bbareumbo were capable of ’controlling’ it.

Because they were already able to adjust down to their previous output levels.

On the other hand, I wasn’t. Uniquely, I was the case that grew excessively.

’Having too good of a constitution is a problem as well.’

My constitution was excessively blessed, but my technical talent was ordinary.

It was probably due to this absurd imbalance that I suffered so much.Read this novel at novelp​ing.com for the best experience.

I let out a sigh and quietly withdrew the Aura Blade.

As I withdrew the Aura Blade, the neatly shining sword blade met my eyes.

"Master. Are you going fishing today too?"

"Fishing..."

"This time, I will fish."

Lackey requested with an excited expression. It seemed my fishing yesterday looked fun to him.

It happened to be getting close to mealtime anyway, so it wasn’t a bad choice.

’If we catch a Water Dragon like yesterday, well...’

This time I’d use a different cooking recipe instead of spicy fish stew.

And I’d drink only a little infused liquor. At least I wouldn’t get abnormally powered up (?) like yesterday.

I headed toward the frozen river and plunged the Sword of the Heavenly Demon into it.

Seureureuk—

Perhaps because the Aura Blade was strengthened compared to yesterday, opening the ice hatch was vastly easier.

Soon, after finishing the entire setup, I waited for Lackey to catch a fish.

"Don’t blindly pull just because it nibbled slightly. It might just be touching the bait and going away..."

"Got one!"

Before I could even finish my explanation, Lackey yanked the fishing rod.

I thought it was a false bite at first, but not at all. The line went taut.

Was this beginner’s luck? However, unlike ordinary beginner’s luck, Lackey got dragged forward.

"Uh, uhhhh?"

"Hey! Hold on tight!"

I hurriedly grabbed the fishing rod. How could a gorilla have so little strength?

Well, my strength being abnormally high played a part too. Regardless, I pulled the fishing rod with all my power.

In case a Water Dragon shot up like yesterday, I backed far away from the riverbank.

Ujijijik! Ujik!

As expected, the frozen ice river began to shatter. A big catch this time as well.

I looked forward to whether it would be a Water Dragon like yesterday, or a completely different creature.

Kwajijijik!

After a contest of strength, I reeled in a creature from beneath the frozen river.

Yet its shape was not a fish. Nor was it a Water Dragon.

For starters, it was a beast. A plump body, a pointed beak, and finally two arms like wings.

"Ggueeeek!"

"...A penguin?"

It was a penguin. Truly ridiculous, but I had reeled in a penguin.

Since it was an unimagined situation, I stood dazed for a long while even after dragging the penguin up.

In the meantime, the penguin flapped its wings, waddled, and stood up.

"..."

A gaze brimming with madness locked onto me. Being round eyes, it felt even scarier.

Just as I slowly set down the fishing rod and prepared to arm myself...

"Kkieeeeeek!!!"

The penguin let out a screech, deafening my ears.

Lackey and I covered our ears at the ear-splitting screech.

However, the penguin’s screech attack wasn’t just auditory terrorism.

Puak! Puak! Puak!

Something erupted from the completely shattered river. I checked the emerging entities.

They were penguins soaring high into the sky. Yet unlike the penguin I pulled up, these floated in the air for a while.

I thought penguin wings acted as flippers, but flying in the sky? I could hardly believe it.

"Kkieeeek!"

It wasn’t over yet. The penguin I reeled up pointed its wings forward.

Then what happened? An unbelievable event occurred right before my eyes.

Hwi-i-i-i-ing—

The penguins floating high in the sky tucked their wings tightly and plummeted straight down.

And their faces were directed squarely at me. A posture akin to bombers diving from high altitude.

Seeing this, anxiety hit me and I hurriedly backed away. Lackey likewise fled in haste.

Kwang! Kwagwang!!!

The power of the high-altitude dive revealed itself. It was an impact strong enough to send debris flying in all directions.

I raised both arms to shield my face from flying debris.

Cheok! Cheok!

Meanwhile, the penguins that dived down jumped up swiftly.Enjoying the story? Read on at n​ovelping.com.

Just like the screeching penguin, their eyes were... how should I put it? Unhinged eyes. Eyes oozing madness.

"Ggueek! Ggueek!"

"...What is that guy saying?"

"’How dare you disturb me. You deserve death.’ "

He really was a lunatic. I let out a dry laugh.

I didn’t know why guys that belonged in Antarctica were here, but I had to do what needed to be done.

"Seriously need to send them to a zoo..."

Pi-ing!

Before I could even finish my words, one penguin leaped at me.

It flew straight in with its wings tucked tightly against its body, just like before.

For a second, I panicked thinking a missile was flying at me. It was insanely fast.

"What is going on!"

[Never a peaceful day.]

Fortunately, Ludwig and Cain stepped outside just in time.

The moment reinforcement arrived, the penguins glanced around. And then...

"Kueeeeeek!"

Puak! Puak!

They called for reinforcements as well. Just like earlier, numerous penguins rocketed into the sky.

Soon, those creatures plunged down like missiles. Watching them, I lamented.

"I really shouldn’t have stepped outside the blanket..."

What kind of suffering is this on such a freezing cold day?

While Grylls was locked in a fierce battle against the penguins, at the Magic Tower of Iris Kingdom...

Selena was able to complete the summoning magic she desired after joint research with Kadir.

Though mistakes existed here and there, the joint effort of two geniuses covered them rapidly.

Particularly, there was a hilarious yet sad story regarding Kadir: the research period overlapped with his Gallery ban time.

Every time he checked the Gallery, anger boiled up inside him, driving him to immerse himself in research instead.

Well, thanks to that, Selena was able to move closer to rescuing her benefactor even faster.

However, not everything was perfect yet. Kadir explained this as well.

"As I said before, it is a summoning magic that relies on uncertainty. No one knows what will be summoned."

"I know that very well."

"If something goes wrong, you could end up summoning that horrifying Flesh Aberration from before."

It was just as Kadir said. The summoning magic invented to rescue Grylls.

This summoning magic was tailored precisely to the characteristic unstable space of the Forest of the Four Seasons.

What this meant was that the target of summoning was extremely unstable.

In essence, it was no different from a gacha box. In the worst-case scenario, something that shouldn’t appear might come out.

"I’ve taken that into account. I’ve also made thorough preparations."

Selena replied while glancing at Ash standing beside her.

With the world’s greatest swordsman as her bodyguard, even if something dangerous popped out, it could be subdued immediately.

Not only that, but Selena herself was an outstanding mage, and Kadir went without saying.

They had sufficiently prepared for danger, and decisively, they planned to set up a separate testing ground just in case.

"Very well. In that case, we must consider a location for the experiment. The two best locations are the Cantata region of the Messiah Empire, and Avalon."

Kadir pointed at the map one location at a time. Where would be suitable for the testing ground?

In terms of preference, the Cantata region was most suitable, as vast plains existed there.

However, Ash refuted this.

"Currently, the Cantata region is cleaning up after the monster wave. It could cause significant harm to the residents."

"Avalon... was it? The Holy Kingdom is fine, but we need permission."

"I can obtain the permission."

In the end, only one place remained. In a way, it was the best location.

"Then we must request the cooperation of the Holy Kingdom. I shall contact them immediately."

"Thank you. Will we be meeting the Hero then?"

"Since the Empire’s Sword Master is going, likely so."

The location where the first experiment would begin was Avalon.

To be precise, the entrance to the Forest of the Four Seasons attached to Avalon.

’Grylls-nim... Please wait just a little longer.’

Selena earnestly prayed for her benefactor.

Chalssak! Chalssak! Chalssak!

"Gguek! Gguek!"

"Ah! Ahh! Stop slapping me! I said stop slapping me!"

Currently, her benefactor was getting thrashed by the wing attacks of penguins.
