I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 767

The scientific technology of the gods—that is, the humans of Earth—far transcended what I had anticipated.

Not to mention casually forging minerals that ordinary people would find difficult to handle, and even teleportation magic, which was almost physically impossible to explain.

Furthermore, the floating island seen at the Theme Park was equally bizarre. Each and every one of them was a technology far beyond my common sense.

’Don’t tell me that "recovering" didn’t mean the laboratory, but the entire land?’

That was why, while shocked by the situation unfolding before me, I couldn’t help but find it strangely logical.

They need to collect the laboratory safely, but doing it directly? There is a high chance of damage.

In that case, they might as well scoop out the entire surrounding land and take it. It was Earth’s technology that made such a crazy idea possible.

ㄴAllfather) Could there be ambergris inside this land by any chance?

ㄴStarlight Lady) What does ambergris have to do with the current situation?

ㄴNecromancy is Love) Because that guy is someone who directly consumed ambergris.

ㄴDon’t Abandon the Hero) Grylls-nim! Don’t just daze out, run away quickly!

ㄴSword Matstar) It’s been a while since I’ve seen Grylls-ssi spacing out like this.

ㄴHeavenly Demon) Is it not natural? Lifting an entire piece of land, this lady must learn from this as well.

ㄴSmart Demon) There’s nothing good about learning from that kind of crap;;

Perhaps because the scale of the situation was so overwhelming.

I almost lost my mind and just stood there watching.

I hurriedly assessed the current situation and spoke to my companions.

"Alright. Everyone, it might be hard to believe, but the entire land is soaring upward right now. You know the floating island we saw before, right? Just like that."

[ ...It is much more serious than I thought, so why are you so calm? ]

"Because I feel like if I’m not calm, something even worse will happen."

There is still plenty of time. As long as we don’t lose our way by panicking needlessly, we can escape quickly.

Furthermore, perhaps because the size of the land was so massive, the floating speed was also remarkably slow.

"Lackey. Just asking, but is Teleport possible?"

"It is not possible. It feels blocked, just like when we entered the city last time."

"Huh? Y-You’re right. Did they deploy a separate disruptor or jamming magic...?"

I had wondered, and as expected, it was so.

As soon as the recovery began, the use of magic became impossible.

Having experienced this in the City of Alund as well, I did not panic.

I only thought that we needed to escape this area a bit faster.

After calming down Elia, who was rarely flustered, I moved in a straight line along the coordinate tracker.

Our first goal was the grassland. Although it was merely a prediction, the recovery range would likely be the insects’ habitat.

’If they lifted all the way to the grassland, it would be suffocating.’

Even so, we couldn’t just stand by and watch with folded arms.

Borrowing the power of the coordinate tracker, I began to escape the insects’ area along with my companions.

Parararak!

Perhaps the insects also felt that something was amiss, as they flew toward the direction we were heading.

Starting from miscellaneous bugs to ants that were highly sensitive to the movement of the ground.

If they migrated to the grassland, it would be a headache in many ways, but that was a problem to think about later.

For now, escaping from here was the top priority.

Fortunately, even when advancing in a straight line along the coordinate tracker, there were almost no obstacles in the way.

After all, the insects’ area was entirely filled with dense trees or bushes, so it was only natural.

"Ah, damn it. How annoying."

Seogeok! Seogeok!

Still, blocking our path was no different, so I cut them all down.

The phrase ’environmental destruction’ naturally came to mind, but I was in too much of a pinch to care.

"Ugh...! Every time a tree is cut down, it feels like my heart aches...!"

"Trees can just be planted."

Letting Elia’s nonsense and Lackey’s scolding go in one ear and out the other, I forged ahead.

As a result of advancing while committing environmental destruction, we were able to reach the very edge.

Deudeudeudeu—

Reaching the edge, the vibration caused by the entire land rising into the sky was distinct.

Furthermore, the grassland area visible beyond it.

Perhaps because we had come quickly in a straight line, we hadn’t risen very high yet.

’Indeed, even with good technology, it would take time to force something this massive upward.’

Now, we just need to jump and cross over.

Just as I thought that, suddenly, things scattered far off in my field of vision caught my eye.

Furthermore, a subtle smell of burning protein. I narrowed my eyes and checked.

"...Are those insects, by any chance?"

"It seems the insects burned to death."

They were insects. And every single one of them was burned pitch-black.

Occasionally, there was one twitching its legs, but that was only because it was a bug; it was as good as dead.

Why did the insects come here to die? Just as I couldn’t understand for a moment.

Wieeeeing!

Hearing a familiar buzzing sound above our heads, I looked up.

The mosquitoes that had tormented us so relentlessly were flying at high speed to head outside.

Before long, just before passing the edge that could be called the boundary line.

Pajijijik!This chapter was taken from no‌velping.com without permission.

A bolt of lightning crackled along with a brilliant flash.

Powerful sparks flew as if welding, to the point of threatening us.

Tuk— tuduk—

The mosquitoes that had tried to escape outside fell to the ground. Right in front of us.

I stared at the mosquitoes emitting wisps of smoke, then looked up again.

Perhaps because the mosquitoes had collided violently just now, a faint blue wave could be seen shimmering.

’Is this an electric fly swatter or what?’

I was momentarily speechless at the scale that always defied prediction.

Of course, we couldn’t just stand still like this. I decided to quickly find a way to break through.

"Therefore, Cain-ssi."

[ Don’t tell me you want me to go? ]

"Leave the coffin here and just go with your body. You’ll regenerate anyway."

I sent Cain first. Since he was a machine rather than a living being, it was relatively safer.

Soon, after grumbling for a moment, Cain stepped forward confidently with his own words.

Kwajijijik!

As expected, a powerful bolt of lightning crackled. However, I had predicted that much.

The problem was whether Cain could pass through that barrier.

As long as he could show that he could force his way through with brute strength, there would be no problem.

Ssuuk—

Fortunately, my prediction was roughly correct. Cain’s body slipped outside.

It was just that every time he did, lightning crackled so violently that I had no choice but to squint.

"Master. I’ve got spots in my eyes."

"You too, Lackey-ssi? Me too."

Rather than a spot, it should be viewed as a symptom caused by the flash. I didn’t know exactly either.

It’s not for nothing that people who weld ruin their eyes even when wearing welding masks.

At any rate, since we realized we could pass through, all that was left was to get out.

"Cain-ssi. Come back. I’ll do it."

[ What do you plan to do? I feel a fairly strong electrical current. ]

"I have to use what I learned."

I didn’t know if I could actually use it here, but I judged it would be possible.

As Cain stepped back, I stood in front of the faintly glowing barrier.

Next, after checking the state of my Body-Protecting Gangqi, I stretched both hands toward the barrier.

Pajik!

A flash erupted in an instant, making me flinch, but I ignored it and pressed my palms against it.

Perhaps because pressing against it was tolerated, unlike forcing one’s way in, the frequency of the lightning crackles diminished.

’Imbue Unity of Self and Object here...’

There was an action I had done half-jokingly after the decisive battle with Ash.

The idea of scattering my mana across the entire ground and then lifting it as-is.

The Chief God possessed the monstrous strength to literally throw mountains, but that was a physically impossible act.

Not only would it be difficult to maintain the center of gravity, but it was also nonsense for such a small person to throw an entire mountain.

However, if Unity of Self and Object was used, the story was different. I had also applied this to lift the ground before.

At the time, I was slightly scared and just said, "It’s heavy," but now it was different.

’Since it’s a barrier flowing with electrical current, if I mix in Unity of Self and Object, I can force it open.’

We needed an exit large enough for the entire group to escape at once.

I injected my mana into the barrier, activated Unity of Self and Object, and then forced it open as-is.

Jjwaaaaak!

Soon, like forcing a curtain open, the translucent barrier opened wide.

Pajijijik!

Countless bolts of lightning crackled and poured down over my head.

As if delivering punishment to the person who had forced the door open.

However, clearer than that was the flow of air transmitted from beyond the barrier.

If we didn’t go outside now, the opportunity would be gone forever.

"Quickly, get out through here!"

At my shout, my companions hesitated. Of course they did.

Even if I was blocking it, with lightning pouring down over their heads, they couldn’t help but be afraid.

However, there was someone who made an amazing judgment in situations like this.

"W-We can just crawl under your legs!"

"Oh!"

It was none other than Elia, who had an outstanding ability to grasp reality.

At her shout, Lackey also showed a reaction of not having thought of that.

I almost lost my strength for a moment, but I held on firmly.

Soon, the companions except for Cain crawled under my legs, narrowly avoiding the lightning.

In the middle of it, a bolt of lightning hit Elia’s long hair and burned it, but this was minor.

Finally, as soon as even Cain escaped outside, I also threw myself out.

Kuung!This story is hosted at nоvelping.com.

Although the land was slowly rising upward, the height itself was not that high.

Roughly the height of a five-story apartment building? Of course, this was also high, but it was to a degree that could be endured with a bare body.

"Is everyone alright?"

I asked, looking around at my companions.

Perhaps because everyone landed in a hurry, I was worried if they had been hurt anywhere.

"Ouch... I’m fine except for my butt hurting."

"I am fine as well."

Fortunately, no one among the companions was seriously injured.

I let out a sigh of relief and slowly turned my head.

I saw that the entire land where the insects inhabited was slowly floating.

Since the size of the land was massive, it rose slowly, but the very idea of recovering that was mind-blowing.

’Could it be that the entire land was a research zone?’

No wonder the insects didn’t go outside the area.

They instinctively tried to flee, sensing something big had happened, only to be caught by the electric fly swatter.

Wondering if some kind of ship was dragging it, I raised my head upward.

’I don’t particularly see anything like the Mechanical Kraken.’

Or maybe it was in space rather than the sky.

No joke, considering Earth’s technology, it wasn’t impossible.

They could easily chew up and spit out physics through mana, so space would be easy.

"First, let’s quickly return..."

I had absolutely no intention of just standing and watching. Variables could arise.

Just as I was about to rush our return.

Beonjjeok!

Suddenly, a powerful pillar of light struck down right in front of us. It was a blue pillar of light.

Startled, I almost fell backward, but managed to barely regain my balance.

"M-Master! Don’t tell me you’re going outside this time too?!"

"What on earth are you talking about?"

"When Master went outside, a pillar of light like that came down!"

"What?"

At Lackey’s words, I felt a sense of doubt. Wondering if the Rose of Sharon I gave to the people outside had bloomed.

However, what was different from that time was that the pillar of light did not strike me.

This meant that this pillar of light was not struck down to summon me.

On the contrary.

Seuseuseuseu—

It was merely struck down to ’summon’ someone else.

As the pillar of light gradually diminished, what appeared inside was, surprisingly, a ’person’.

If it had been a robot, I would have brushed it off, thinking, ’Ah, the security system has been activated.’

But with a person suddenly appearing, I couldn’t help but be quite flustered.

"A-A person?"

"Is it someone you know?"

How could I know? I shook my head side to side at Elia’s question.

Rather, I wanted to ask her who that person was.

’Looking at the armor, he does look like a knight...’

Other things aside, the fact that he was a ’person’ weighed most heavily on my mind.

For now, knowing that he was at least not friendly to us, I quietly armed myself.

Meanwhile, the man who had been suddenly summoned slowly raised his head and looked at us.

His eyes shone intelligently, but it was ambiguous to say they possessed vitality.

Jieeeeing—

As if proving that doubt, light came out of the man’s eyes and scanned us.

As if conducting a scan.

"Are you the ones who escaped from that place?"

What was even more surprising was that he even spoke to us.

It was a series of surprises, but more than that, I wondered if I should answer that question.

I exchanged glances with my companions to consult, and decided to talk for now.

Because if we were lucky, it seemed we might not have to fight.

"...If we are?"

As I affirmed.

"Anomaly detected. Commencing recovery."

The harsh-looking man drew his sword.

Uuuuung!!!

He generated a massive Aura Blade, comparable to what I had emitted in the past.

Startled by this, I unconsciously opened the Gallery window.

ㄴAllfather) Hmm? That’s a face I’ve seen somewhere...

ㄴSword Matstar) Indeed. Where did I see him?

ㄴStarlight Lady) Wait a minute. I think I saw that person in a book?

I came to see the highly unusual posts of the fixed nicknames.
