I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 789

As past records flooded the Gallery, people enjoyed the Gallery in their own different ways.

Ordinary people had a fun time watching the pouring records, while scholars studied them seriously.

And martial artists took a great interest in the ’martial arts’ that were occasionally excavated, but the problem was that most of them were ’fictional works.’

Manga, anime, movies, and so on. Fictional martial arts that did not exist in reality appeared, drawing attention in many ways.

Title) How’s this?

(Roughly a flashy swordsmanship anime video)

Fire, lightning, and water are literally coming out of the sword, is this actually possible?

ㄴ Isn’t it impossible unless it’s a legendary sword imbued with elements?

ㄴ Do such swords even exist?

ㄴ Yeah, they say it exists. In fact, it was one of the swords used by Aris.

ㄴ Wasn’t the Holy Sword the only sword Aris had?

ㄴ It’s just that the Holy Sword is so famous, but she originally used all kinds of weapons.

ㄴ Considering that Aris is the origin of all martial arts in the first place, it’s not that strange, right?

ㄴ Then did Aris watch that and copy it too?

ㄴ Can’t say she didn’t, right? lol

ㄴ (Roughly a video of Grylls using cold air) ?

ㄴ Ah. Right. That motherfucker existed, shit.

ㄴ It has been proven possible. Clap clap clap!

ㄴ lolololol

ㄴ lolol

ㄴ Fucking platypus-like bastard;;

Title) Martial Arts vs. Weapons of the Gods

(A flashy and visually pleasing martial arts video)

(A destructive and monotonous steel weapon video)

As expected, martial arts where spears and swords clash are cool. Upvote.

No. Steel weapons, simple and ignorant but stimulating romance, are cool. Downvote.

ㄴ Honestly, the former is cooler, but the latter seems more practical?

ㄴ Real, that thing shoots Hellfire with just a single click of a button lol

ㄴ Where does it say it goes off with a click of a button?

ㄴ Grylls kept showing us. Shooting missiles with a single button.

ㄴ Wasn’t there a suspicion that Grylls shot it when cleaning up the Balkan Kingdom?

ㄴ Yeah, there was talk that he shot it using the Holy Sword as coordinates.

ㄴ That’s why the Age of Gods was ruined, tsk tsk.

ㄴ Fact: To be precise, all the gods suffered from Qi Deviation and died.

Title) Some say it’s not reality

(Roughly an action movie video where all kinds of martial arts and science run rampant)

Then what is this if not reality?

ㄴ (Heh~ Technologia! meme)

ㄴ lolololol

ㄴ lolololololol

ㄴ lolololololol

ㄴ It’s so fucking out of nowhere, it’s hilarious lololol

ㄴ What the fuck is this lol

Whether virtual martial arts appearing in various media could be recreated in reality.

Due to the nature of the Gallery, even when a topic was presented, all sorts of useless reactions came out, but there were also many who explored it seriously.

Title) Impossible?

(Roughly a video of Grylls doing crazy things with his bare body)

(Roughly a video of Grylls pulling a floating island with his bare body)

Then does this fucking make sense?

ㄴ Shouldn’t we treat him as an exception?

ㄴ Just by researching Grylls, all kinds of martial arts would pour out lol

ㄴ Turns out Aris invented breathing techniques just to copy Grylls, didn’t she? lol

ㄴ ???: Why does that bastard get mana just by breathing?

ㄴ Seriously, high possibility lol

Just like the content of some posts, since Grylls performed such bizarre feats, it was hard to say for sure.

Moreover, didn’t the great figures who reached the Profound Realm all easily manipulate ’space’?

The Heavenly Demon Yoo So-wol had the help of her sword, but she lightly cleaved the sky, and Sword Master Ash skillfully manipulated telekinetic swords.

Since they were all techniques beyond common sense, many people delved deeply into them.

’Seup... this is hard.’

And this included Ash as well.

She was sitting cross-legged, doing image training with her sword resting on her lap.

The sword she originally used had broken during the fierce battle with Grylls, but he had got her a new one.

Word was that he melted down the broken sword and crafted it by mixing in various fine minerals.

Since it was a sword crafted personally by her beloved husband, shouldn’t she carry it with her at all times?

"Do you like it that much?"

"Ah. Mom. I’m training."

"Alright, alright. You’re exactly like your younger brother when he was dating. I’ll leave some snacks, so don’t overdo it."

In proportion to that, the frequency of her mother’s teasing also increased.

Every time, Ash blushed, but it didn’t mean much.

Anyway, she fell into thought while eating the banana, the snack her mother had left behind.

Now that past relics (?) were flooding the Gallery, she was busy analyzing the martial arts in various fictional works.Read the latest chapters at novelping(.)com.

’This seems somewhat possible, and why is this one so flashy? Besides, they seem to treat drawing-sword techniques as a finishing move.’

Then she realized something: most of them focused heavily on ’style.’

Occasionally, realistic martial arts appeared, but they were somewhat plain in comparison.

’If I modify it like this....’

So what did she do? She modified them herself.

She cut out the inefficient movements and went through image training.

Since her realm was what it was, she could identify areas for improvement just by imagining them.

’Handling elements might be because the mana itself is unique, like Grylls.’

What Ash had in mind was whether she could handle elements in their ’natural’ state with a sword.

She meant elements in their pure, natural state, not elements manifested from mana.

Imbuing the sword with the very flames burning fiercely from wood, or controlling flowing water at will.

Looking at the cold air Grylls always used, it seemed possible, but there was a clear difference.

’Cold air—that is, ice—has a form. But formless things like fire, water, and lightning are difficult.’

That is why magic exists, to handle them smoothly.

But even magic does not draw and use natural elements exactly as they are.

’Still, the fact that they are formless substances doesn’t change. That’s why martial artists are vulnerable to mages.’

Strictly speaking, they are vulnerable to the magic cast by mages.

You can see this right away by looking at Kaylin, the winner of the last Heavenly God Martial Festival and a demon princess.

Although the records were lost because she committed an insolent act, it clearly showed why people revere mages.

No matter how deep one’s martial arts cultivation was, it was difficult to handle formless substances like fire or lightning without magic.

Even Ash would rather dodge them than try to cut them.

One might ask if it’s possible to deflect them, and ’for now,’ it is.

It’s just that doing so consumes an extreme amount of internal energy, as it involves the Earth-Shrinking Art—that is, manipulating space.

’If this is possible, martial artists will no longer have to fear mages.’

To be clear, mages who insist on ’all-out warfare’ like Kaylin are rare.

Also, if a martial artist resolutely drags it into a war of attrition, the mage is bound to be pushed back helplessly.

Nevertheless, because that single advantage is ridiculously outstanding, mages hold the upper hand.

’If possible, I should reform it so that not just Grand Masters, but Master-level experts can use it too....’

The way an expert who has reached the Profound Realm (Grand Master) deals with a mage is simple.

Either taking their head before the mage can cast magic, or lightly dodging it.

In the first place, to defeat someone who has reached that realm, there is no answer unless you are in the same realm.

Didn’t even Grylls reach that realm in archery alone?

’Seuuup... I wonder if I can meet that guy again?’

Shaking off her image training, Ash accessed the Gallery.

She then stared at the message window, but what she was looking at was not Grylls, but the Heavenly Demon, Yoo So-wol.

An expert who had reached the Grand Master realm a step earlier than herself.

She had roughly grasped her martial prowess during the preliminary match held in secret at the time of the Heavenly God Martial Festival.

’It’s embarrassing to say this, but that woman’s level and understanding of martial arts are higher. Instead, I’m a step ahead in swordsmanship.’

If she resolutely joined forces with Yoo So-wol, she might be able to find a clue.

The problem was how to meet in reality, not in the Gallery.

They already knew each other’s identities, but as everyone knew, an offline meetup in reality was a strict ground for a ban.

Even if she was a Blue Badge, the possibility of the stubborn Orange Badge tolerating this was close to zero.

’Still, I should let her know my theory first.’

Although they were rivals competing for the same man, she didn’t throw away her pride as a martial artist.

Besides, sharing opinions would also be helpful to Grylls.

[Sword Matstar: Excuse me. I’ve brought an interesting theory, you know?]

[Heavenly Demon: Is it similar to imbuing a sword with lightning to handle it?]

[Sword Matstar: Yes. It’s like this: (Roughly a long and professional martial arts story)]

[Sword Matstar: How is it?]

[Heavenly Demon: It is quite a profound theory. If done well, even those in the Peak Realm, not just the Transcendent Realm, might be able to use it.]

[Sword Matstar: Please say Master instead of Transcendent Realm, and High Expert instead of Peak Realm.]

[Heavenly Demon: Nonsense.]

She made a joke that wasn’t really a joke, but Yoo So-wol’s reaction was also reasonably positive.

Of course, it would be better to meet face-to-face and talk, but unfortunately, she had a schedule.

Since she had to visit Mountain—that is, God’s Brewery—the very next day.

[Heavenly Demon: Hmm. I do not know if this is the right time to use this.]

[Sword Matstar: What is it?]

[Heavenly Demon: (Roughly a picture of a cute dog smiling and eating up internal energy)]

[Sword Matstar: ...What on earth is that?]

[Heavenly Demon: Hmm. It seems you did not understand. What a pity.]

Where on earth did she find that? Ash couldn’t hide her absurdity.

Yoo So-wol had originally intended to play a joke, but since Ash didn’t understand, she seemed to move on immediately.

[Heavenly Demon: So, do you wish to meet this lady and discuss this?]

[Sword Matstar: I’d love to, but offline meetups in reality are a ban, right? Just keep it in mind like, ’Ah, there’s something like this.’]

[Heavenly Demon: It is not as if you are dumping it on this lady, so it sounds like you are suggesting we have a drink together someday.]

[Sword Matstar: I didn’t say anything?]

Since she was quick-witted, she probably got the gist of it.Visit novelping dot com for the full chapter.

Even if they couldn’t meet in person, they could share opinions like this.

Ash ended her conversation with Yoo So-wol and went back to practicing.

’Hmm... surely she won’t just gobble it up and run away, right?’

A sudden sense of anxiety washed over her. She knew Yoo So-wol wasn’t that kind of person.

But since they both had the same man in their hearts, what wouldn’t she do?

Hadn’t she herself clung to him somewhat pathetically not long ago?

’That woman seemed to be getting more active lately too.’

She shouldn’t have thought about it. Ash sighed and stood up from her spot.

There was no way she could focus while engulfed in agony.

Since she would likely visit the Central Plains again after Mountain, she informed her family in advance.

"What? You might go to the Central Plains again?"

"Yes. There’s someone I need to meet."

"Aha. A boyfriend, is it?"

"...."

Her mother’s reaction showed she knew everything. Ash gave a bitter smile.

Currently, her mother was mistaken in thinking Grylls was from the Central Plains.

’In terms of race, it’s not entirely wrong....’

Besides, since she had even been caught with a photo they took together, it was awkward to deny it.

It would be faster to just agree. It was when she nodded her head to this.

"By the way, dear. You said that person is stronger than you, right?"

"Yes. It was an unofficial duel, but I fought and lost."

"Then you’d better get engaged quickly. Men from the Central Plains are all playboys without exception."

"...Pardon?"

A highly prejudiced remark popped out of her mother’s mouth.

Ash felt absurdity rather than embarrassment upon hearing that story.

She had no idea where her mother had heard such a thing.

"Mom. What are you talking about? The Central Plains is famous for being conservative."

"That only applies to women, not men. Have you heard the saying, ’A hero has three wives and four concubines’? I can’t tell you how dumbfounded I was when I heard that."

"...."

"And your mom read in a book that countless women approach strong and kind men. Especially the heads of influential families had at least two wives."

"That..."

She wanted to ask if her mother had read too many novels, but she was completely speechless.

Because it was true. In reality, the Central Plains still had a strong ideology of male dominance over women.

The Heavenly Demon Cult, which worships only the strong, was unique; generally, that was the norm.

However, polygamy was a policy agreed upon not only in the Central Plains but also in many other countries.

It wasn’t just the Central Plains, but because it was the Central Plains, that aspect was emphasized even more.

Since they appeared conservative on the outside. They just made a difference based on gender.

Also, it was funny that the Demon Race, who seemed more open than anyone, was the most conservative race in the world.

"Does your boyfriend happen to have that side to him too?"

"He says he’s been single since birth, though?"

"Someone stronger than you, and single since birth? Was he someone holed up in some mountain?"

He’s forcibly holed up in the Forest of the Four Seasons, not a mountain.

....She wanted to say that, but she just nodded.

"Anyway! I want you to bring him to our house quickly. In fact, because he’s holed up in a mountain, it might be even more dangerous."

"...I’ll just take care of it myself."

Her mother’s nagging continued after that, but Ash lightly ignored it.

No, she couldn’t lightly ignore it. Because the women who adored Grylls immediately came to mind.

Without looking far, didn’t Selena also have Grylls in her heart?

Not to mention Yoo So-wol, and perhaps even the Hero Asella might be the same.

’And there’s also the Elf Queen right next to him....’

Suddenly, her head became even more complicated.

It seemed she would have to end today’s training here.

’Suddenly, I’m envious of the Elf Queen.’

A strange jealousy and bitterness washed over her.

At a time when everyone was digging through past records in their own ways.

"Ooh...

Did the gods invent Polymorph with this?"

[No matter how I look at it, it just seems like illusion magic, though?]

"We can just treat Polymorph as a kind of illusion magic as well."

Allfather, Kadir, was also exploring the Gallery, burning with academic passion.

The problem was.

"However, it is ambiguous because it is in a format that looks like a drawing. Furthermore, some Polymorphs move as if a drawing were attached to chopsticks."

[Wouldn’t that be the limitation of the technology at the time?]

That it was a ’VTuber’ video.

"Huuuum...."

[....]

"Uuuum...."

[...Why are you looking at me like that?]

Just in time, there was also a suitable test subject.
