Chapter 113: Welcome To… (5)
3uT4MhI barely managed to immobilize my dangling arm and returned to the cave.6WHv0
b4R2SWhen I got back, I saw Wonmo pacing back and forth.pBFx
87fIt seemed he had been worried about me this whole time.AqG46Gs
TXfuX“Kkyuu! Kkyuu!”HDoh
tXxK6Wonmo greeted me enthusiastically when he saw me return injured.3zQzvb
CkTrtKkI would have liked to hug him with both arms, but with one of them in this state, it was impossible.7wX8Gah
EI9X2w“Wonmo, wait a moment. I need to fix my arm first.”E5E
ydM93“Kkyuu!”PA72I
OhnWonmo answered energetically and stepped back a little.YAy
1PJa1hOur good Wonmo really knows how to listen.xvQY
nw5I let out a small laugh and carefully lowered my arm.ecJPj9
wOlThe first thing was to take off the shield.1RUXe
MFrjI had suffered many injuries before, but this was the first time I had broken an arm, so I had no idea what to do.NyB2UjZ
u22ce‘What if I pour the elixir on it without knowing anything and the bone fuses incorrectly?’EJX
VqvbThat was my biggest concern.Zq61jVL
WvRMy ribs hadn’t been shattered to that extent.mWG5C
jPxfI think it would be best to immobilize it with a splint first.EDIs
UHHcFWith only one working arm, I searched for a suitable wooden board.ZETHXbZ
xniIt would be enough to cut one of the logs I had prepared for the campfire.cnJ6Nw
JWLzn‘And buy some cloth from the gallery.’3SnJCF
YUYAfter that, all that remained was to place the splint and tie it.xJb
q96SThe problem was that I only had one functional arm.pC7rhn
jGR“Excuse me, Mr. Sloth.”BDmH
kSk“……”XPBS
rZdL“Give me a hand. Look at the state of my arm.”wTk
pXK5iSo I asked Sloth for help.mGtDy
MhqCL4JMaybe he couldn’t tie it, but he could at least hold the cloth.I7l
kvUNx1Sloth looked at me silently and then held the cloth just as I asked.1K5lJsq
TNmNThanks to that, I was able to improvise a splint using a piece of wood and cloth.IBwwGgl
nKRPcmBut that was only a temporary solution.47H8
vIk1o7The real healing would come from the elixir.PpIdRK
pc8IpPTitle) I completely wrecked my arm.vzcPlr
DZ3frGWildGrillsnD6Z9
eXu(Photo of an arm immobilized with a splint)HGh6ip
MfzZDacI messed up my arm fighting the gorilla leader. Thank goodness he spared my life, otherwise I’d be dead lol.3QB
gwy5jgCan I pour the elixir directly onto my arm? I immobilized it first with a splint in case the bone fused crooked.MXBmLDl
TpuoC└HeavenlyDemon: Was that monkey strong?YUjL3d
BK3ZgQq└WildGrills: Ridiculously strong. He broke my arm even though I blocked with my shield. And he didn’t even punch. He just rested his fist on it.ZR9u
NlHNW4└HeavenlyDemon: He just rested it there and still broke your arm?e1tka
iA47Wo└WildGrills: Yeah. He literally just went tap.by5Pf
admkH└HeavenlyDemon: He can even use Penetrating Force? His level is extraordinarily high. I truly did not expect this.pZnYI
XfCbRjj└WildGrills: On top of that, I cut him with my sword and he vanished like a mirage only to appear right behind me.HWcKkd
bJTjvdy└HeavenlyDemon: He also mastered Shifted Phantom Position? How surprising. That individual showed you mercy.72pd65K
sfI└Swordmaster: It’s honestly a miracle you’re still alive. If that gorilla had been serious, you would have died in less than a second.vVAZ
aOs9└WildGrills: Even after I ambushed him, he blocked my sword with his fingers. The moment I saw that, I thought I was screwed.DZskNZ0
X3t4n└Swordmaster: How many fingers?Mn9
ir87rrb└WildGrills: Three.rIp
jDeOww2└Swordmaster: I suppose he used three because it was you. For most people, one would be enough.O8K2bU
OSQuHm└WildGrills: The effect of the sword HeavenlyDemon gave me probably played a part too.cD20
ZNL└What kind of gorilla uses Penetrating Force and Shifted Phantom Position? I won’t believe it until I see it.;b9XBEC
cbe└Well, he talks like a person. Maybe it really is possible.quebIZ
ufy└Honestly, that sounds like a lie. You might as well say he fired an energy wave.EXf9
V1VTJ└WildGrills: I don’t know about energy waves, but the forest got destroyed. I’ll show you later.B1MqDYM
Mxg62PM└What? Did he really fire an energy wave? Hahaha.rdR
eDfBQ└Not even the monkeys from legends do things like that hahaha.ZWH
wifbf4J└There are monkeys in legends too?EP4
Fc4gH└It’s a Zhongyuan legend. It’s about a monkey that became a spiritual being by imitating humans.GEF4mJ
kiYpv└Oh. That sounds interesting.J170MsG
sxL7d└StarlightPrincess: Was the arm completely broken?1Xcpg
vibwXz└WildGrills: Yes. It’s hanging. Can I use the elixir like this? I immobilized it first because I was afraid the bone would heal incorrectly.WDFMKX
efb└StarlightPrincess: You did the right thing. It’s quite common for bones to become misaligned. The torso receives the effects of the elixir even when you drink it, but the limbs do not.TtRLfA
8cMt3CJ└WildGrills: What if I make an incision with a knife and pour the elixir inside? Would it heal faster?XfuiQ2b
knb9└StarlightPrincess: I’ll just give you a syringe. When I was sick, I used one frequently.P0ZXJ
cxUz└WildGrills: Thank you very much. Is there anything you want in return? It’ll be difficult for me to go out today, but I could compensate you tomorrow.LWJ3b
TKviU6└StarlightPrincess: Just stay alive. You look more and more like a fly that could die at any moment.4NKa65Z
LwYMp3└WildGrills: Understood.H9hdQ
rMYilJDThe syringe resembled the ones I knew, though it was also different.gc6Dq
XLCThe shape was practically the same.KXL5bK
pc0hBXHowever, both the material and the size were completely different.nDJ
0eseRQEspecially the size.pxNl31U
dCdzfThe body was fairly thick, although the needle was relatively small.3di
jGzJ75e‘If the needle had been huge too, ugh.’RS2B
AivYJ4I filled the syringe with elixir and checked that it worked properly.xayw
nR9t5A golden liquid slowly began to emerge from the tip of the needle.gRyj8OA
QwusiThat would be enough.9GwMfon
iVVPDImmediately afterward, I stuck the needle into the area where my arm was broken and injected all the contents.eJqK
IDzz‘I look like a drug addict taking a hit.’ocEdw4
2LURbktThe refreshing sensation characteristic of the elixir began spreading through me, and the pain gradually decreased.d2p
wWbojKjI could even feel the bones fitting back into place.Pwy4
dVhkIt seemed to have recovered considerably.zmYG
JeuEven so, I planned to keep the splint on for at least a day.B0nq
mmWI had heard that the aftereffects of a fracture could be quite severe.aHz5X04
Jdit‘Thank goodness I survived.’fEKlO4
HrWI took a sip of elixir and looked up at the ceiling.Oo7YEOk
InWBSKI thought the Four Seasons Forest would be easier than its reputation suggested.ZVeS
6Df6What a mistake.D6r
KhvZUI simply hadn’t encountered an anomaly like the gorilla leader before.FbQM
yKZUEven the saber-toothed tiger would be nothing more than a cat in front of him.jE3
r7V‘That means there are monsters as strong as that gorilla, right?’OnUch
pIocHow strong would they be?epzO
CMtvzWThe thought scared me a little.ZVNh4gA
psMI didn’t even have to look far for examples.h5X
WpcjrfSThere were the giant crab and lobster that looked like they had come straight out of a monster movie.3J2t
F3ABut they were easy to avoid because they lived in other areas and were enormous.q2rtg
h3QrVmThe real problem was creatures like the gorilla leader.kXYJfz
OrVvRelatively small beings that lived nearby.xsW7niA
G2FAiK“……”ZcSl
k1O5KTOAs I thought about all that, my eyes landed on Sloth.3zM2rT
M1NThat guy who had remained watching even when I was on the verge of death.JkJ
SERqCfuI didn’t know whether it was because he had calculated that the personal guards would intervene as well if he joined the fight.R8qbSQ
f7bsXQOr if he simply knew that the gorilla leader would spare my life.8KMB
tRokWhatever the reason, it was clear that he had some kind of relationship with the gorilla leader.Lmv
7Jrg“Sloth.”gT5
HplMpC“……”GlaCWQV
cj1“Can you use that thing they call Shifted Phantom Position too, or whatever it is? You know, disappearing and suddenly appearing somewhere else.”8Wo
8aIDTXNod.Bjg1EQ
sS5Sloth responded simply by moving his head.g1BUg
bOiwQDuI nodded as well.99a3u
VkJN4VsIt had definitely been a good decision to keep offering him tributes.IVIfO
FVX‘Now that I think about it…’b8a
NiZPaP5The next thing that caught my attention after Sloth was the bananas.LNlFn
sWOKYThe bunch that the gorilla leader had thrown to me as an apology.rzqQe
NYs3More precisely, it was three clusters of bananas joined together, almost like a complete package.0ePL2vy
aMwTrbSWith that, I could forget about food for a while.Zu4J
IrBMxAZOr use them as a snack.MzpsmM
TPv‘I’ll try one.’ZWmjvXo
i5wrhVI was feeling depressed, so something sweet would do me good.elB
9ddoS2SI picked up a banana.zzAVcsx
vwbMerAnd not just for myself.22Frf2
xoriBZI also grabbed some for Sloth and Wonmo.Ls9
CkZI“Here. Eat.”BlVI
b0T“Kyuuu!”m3Ldbq7
6liAO“……”Avd0NR
cnG4LAMy animal companions started eating the bananas in their own ways.pmZKmf
WNe5btmWonmo, unable to resist anything sweet, practically buried his face in them.s2tB
fCr7Sloth, on the other hand, simply stared at them.jnaK
npEDMaybe he felt uncomfortable eating something that came from an enemy.fq1hY7K
MuemOAlthough, seeing that he was peeling one, he didn’t seem to dislike them either.N7W
aV39XQ‘It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten bananas.’M5trR
Jx6upsWith only one arm, I struggled to peel it.cQL9E5
RLWkGI would have liked to use my left hand, but I preferred not to take the risk.bCj7h1I
VhPJ9tQMunch— Munch—bEYrE0
Ul0Y3kV“……Oh?”4BsGCZ
lHvThe moment I took the first bite, a sweetness like honey flooded my mouth.Svt
XAdn7It also had the characteristic aroma of a banana.cDeSN5u
mhok0It was literally a banana as sweet as honey.R8Zn9
RXT06No wonder Wonmo had buried his face in them.psxfww
BfJ8owIt was the kind of flavor that brought happiness.QpG26Gf
Lb7tyL‘How can it have this much sugar?’KPe4A
k8Cy24Bananas that had grown while absorbing enormous amounts of mana.nQIP
wK6WICNot even Southeast Asian bananas would be this sweet.wuzf
txVHiu6And on top of that, they were huge.krzC
Y8mEach one was the size of my forearm.OYEQ
68B6While greedily devouring the banana, I tried to calm my mind.8EiL
d2Abh7q‘At least he gave me something good.’DA8UJnw
cbCnMBOf course, it was still incomparable to fasting pills.ljZKrU5
pfkQvAt first, I thought he was simply telling me to take these and get lost.Wps
ioFmWxBut seeing how delicious they were, it seemed he had genuinely tried to offer the best thing he had.JKw2
5EjHow was he supposed to obtain something as nutritious as fasting pills out here?dAu
1EuMedicinal herbs are one thing.Y9c9W
XBFwFasting pills are food created by humans through the combination of numerous herbs.PrJyT
L5s0PMd“Nom nom nom.”CNo
5uOrWonmo even ate the peels.RYf
5avYIpkMore than worrying about the bitter taste, I was worried he’d end up with diarrhea.QWHgB
2YgkIjI leaned against the cave wall and glanced at my broken arm.VllP6KV
hio3XMRNo matter how many times I thought about it, it still seemed unbelievable.S91KoE
90QiAThat gorilla had simply rested his fist against my shield.bD3
VvOJAnd yet he had broken my arm.CWSiK0
oUzR1Would I ever be capable of doing something like that?K9KeK
HJjJust learning through gallery posts seemed impossible.GCr
R1i6‘Wait a second. Now that I remember…’CENA5c
CX3PIt was right before the gorilla leader launched that final attack.0nSXpr
AWSWhen I pushed my survival instinct to its limit and my concentration reached its peak.oaw
nIlI remembered how the aura that had previously flickered like flames had gradually begun to condense and take shape.2LtY70
hwg3Ep‘I need to practice before I forget that feeling.’2pfO
dGkI still remembered it.vYKM
MG6zRThe impact had been too intense.VS7l2
bywP8u8I immediately picked up HeavenlyDemon’s sword and summoned the aura.CLIz7nl
TBFmrWhen I infused a small amount of mana into it, an aura resembling mist appeared.YUM6feU
A2GqtUrIf I added a little more, it began to ripple like flames.PIDMwc
249MOV‘Let’s try to remember that feeling little by little.’93j
sjTBp4SThe sensation of that invisible pressure crushing my body.VwrDXbS
NW916The desperation that drove me to bite my own tongue just to escape it.0134
F035APDI hadn’t managed to complete it.sDY
syrA0DBut simply finding a clue was enough.yIqCga
ZxWaaghWoooong— Woom— Woooong—GHd
nEpEven so, it was still difficult.cw0yFQU
d9OZMhThe aura refused to condense.jAYr
wkvHowever, from time to time, I could see the flames diminishing.rZ71pbp
BiajhxIt wasn’t because I was using less mana.E5ut2
pztUOuOn the contrary.7XJ
VjLZ4iI kept forcing more and more mana into it.7kCiGYA
K2eAnd yet the aura was shrinking.Pje
ID4JkIt still didn’t have a complete form.UN0
h2Xlh3WBut even that represented enormous progress.AcBf
GsBB‘The problem is that there’s too much aura and it’s difficult to control.’q2BkRV9
QvkI suppose I’ll get results if I keep practicing little by little.vwv
qUqI set the sword aside and entered the gallery.ffN
hplIAs soon as I logged in, I saw everyone talking about me.1xet
hOQ5That the gorilla speaking was obviously fake.H7ifaTf
6EgThat I was lying.ikxXLtS
IdYfAnd things like that.cmm9E
MxlmG0j‘I knew this would happen, which is why I recorded everything, you bastards.’zHl
UujSo I uploaded all the videos in which the gorilla had spoken.9ymE
LvniHeavenlyDemon had translated everything.3hsY9
fYBpBut there were still too many people who refused to believe it.R3406Bf
6DNl‘Besides, editing and AI don’t exist here.’OsDfy
lXS1Though if they did, that would be interesting too.0FPDD3
sbkuuI glanced through the comments.KqQCW
prBqXlk└ What’s this about manipulating the translations?TkRz
BWK└ Son of a…irsF6
fgnbo7└ B…MPm
yVg9└ itch.pFxoKA
qAmoME“……”F0j4E3
dncXhOr maybe not?Z8e
qA5B7gIn the end, people were the same everywhere.RhtYYZ
