Chapter 128: Hell (5)

Unless they enter holding hands, each person appears in a different location.

And even if they do enter holding hands, no one can guarantee they will end up in the same place.

Many people had entered.

In the Four Seasons Forest, no one starts from the same place.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

But not a single one had ever returned to tell the tale.

A Holy Knight let out a groan and got up from the ground.

“Uugh…”

Only with extraordinary luck could you appear near someone who had entered before.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He was one of the veterans of the surveillance group whom Ludwig had kicked and forcibly sent into the Four Seasons Forest.

He was wearing a helmet, so it was impossible to see his face, but his uniform identified his affiliation.

Normal Holy Knights wore white armor.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Originally, it was armor used by the inquisitors, though those men had now become the Pope’s private soldiers.

“Damn it… Where the hell am I?”

But the members of the surveillance group wore almost black armor.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He clearly remembered Ludwig kicking him into the Four Seasons Forest.

The guard looked around while cursing.

In reality, he knew perfectly well where he was.

But he wanted to deny it with all his might.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He looked around.

‘Damn it…’

There was no lush woodland.

This was completely different from the forest he had seen from the outside.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Everything was covered in gray.

Only dry, twisted trees.

As if volcanic ash had fallen or a forest fire had consumed the entire place.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He had landed on a small patch of solid ground.

But everything else was an immense swamp.

And the ground was even worse.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Though that did not mean he was safe.

If he had fallen directly into the swamp, he would have died the moment he entered.

‘Was I lucky?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Where was he?

The hell of the living world.

The cursed land where not a single survivor existed.

In the Four Seasons Forest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Maybe no one could leave.

The guard swallowed hard.

‘I still don’t know that. arctic That Grills guy was alive too.’

But there were survivors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Apart from the kick he had received in the back, he felt no particular pain.

That fact gave him a small glimmer of hope.

He then checked himself for injuries and inspected the condition of his weapons. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

[It is not possible to access the gallery from this area.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He was one of its users as well.

But he could not connect to the gallery.

And precisely because he knew how useful it was, he could not help clicking his tongue when he saw that message.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

That lie had been used to convince people and send the expedition.

The Pope had used WildGrills as proof to claim that it was now possible to use the gallery even inside the Four Seasons Forest.

‘So that story about being able to use it was a complete lie.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The Pope had lied shamelessly.

There was a saying that of everything that came out of the Pope’s mouth, the only true thing was the carbon dioxide.

But now that he was inside, he understood the truth.

The guard agreed completely.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He gritted his teeth.

He had been an idiot for falling for it.

‘I’m getting out of here no matter what. amber I’m much stronger than that bastard. alpha How could I possibly fail?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Even though the true person responsible for all of this was the Pope, he was far too powerful.

And then he would cut off Ludwig’s head.

He would escape within a few days.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

So he vented his resentment on Ludwig, who was an easier target.

The typical attitude of bullying the weak and submitting to the strong.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The purest manifestation of selfishness.

He had consumed a great deal of it while fighting Ludwig.

Before setting out, he decided to inspect the state of his mana.

‘First, I’ll check my mana.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Then he noticed something strange.

“…Hm?”

He was only checking it, so there was no need to use a cultivation technique.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Normally, his mana should have been circulating, even if only a little.

His eyes widened slightly.

But this time, that was not the case.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

It was circulating.

No.

Alarmed, he activated his mana.

The problem was that it was doing so at a ridiculously slow speed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He had to force it just to notice the slightest movement.

It was still practically motionless.

‘W-why is my mana…?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The aura did not appear either.

But it was useless.

He even tried to manifest his aura.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He thought that perhaps he had suffered some internal injury and carefully examined his body.

His chances of survival were far lower than he had imagined.

It was as though he had fallen into this place completely unarmed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Finally, he decided to take the risk and practice a mana circulation technique.

‘W-what is this?!’

But he found nothing unusual.

And the moment he began, he understood the reason.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The concentration of ambient mana was absurdly high.

The mana outside. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

The problem was the mana.

Not his own.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

‘Impossible! agent That bastard Grills clearly…!’

Like the pressure at the bottom of the sea crushing an object.

The mana outside was suppressing the mana inside his body.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

This was a completely unexpected situation.

He could not believe it.

Grills used enormous amounts of mana whenever he wanted.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

It was still too early to despair.

‘No… If I have time…’

It was impossible to accept.

And he could not even move his own.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He did not know how long it would take.

If the external mana was suppressing his own, then he simply had to fill his body with that same external mana.

He forced himself to remain calm.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He made a quick decision.

That swamp was dangerous.

But it was not impossible.

‘I need to find a safe place.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

As he reached that conclusion, he began moving away from the swamp.

The forest where WildGrills was had to be much safer.

He had no idea what kind of monsters might appear.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Even if he could not use mana, he still had his physical abilities.

Shing.

That would have to be enough.

He also drew his sword to be ready at any moment.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He thought about Odon, who had been thrown into the forest before him.

‘Archbishop Odon entered before I did… Where could he be?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

And now it had been proven that this place did not even allow the use of mana.

A priest who, like him, had been forcibly sent there by Ludwig.

But unlike the guard, Odon specialized in support and had almost no combat ability.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

‘Even if I can’t do anything for the archbishop, I should at least find the others.’

That was why he decided to abandon any thought of searching for priests unless something extraordinary happened.

The more time passed, the lower his chances of survival would become.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He himself had lost much of his strength.

Normally, priests used holy power to heal.

He had no room to protect someone incapable of fighting.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He had never expected much from him.

After all, he had reached his position solely because of his connections.

But that was only possible if they possessed holy power.

And Archbishop Odon had almost none.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Not with people who would only become a burden.

‘Though… if I happen to find him… I won’t be able to pretend I didn’t…’ Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

To escape that hellish forest, he needed to join forces with the strong.

Just as the member of the surveillance group finished organizing his thoughts…

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

[…,Help me.]

Something reached his ears.

That was when it happened.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He heard it again.

[…,please… help me…]

He stopped and listened carefully.

At first, he thought he had heard wrong.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The guard hurriedly looked around.

“Is anyone there?! canvas If someone’s there, speak louder!”

He needed to find out where the voice was coming from.

Though it was still a faint voice.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

But given the circumstances, he had no other choice.

The noise could attract beasts.

Shouting in a swamp was not a good idea.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Hoping that his voice would reach the other person, he shouted with all his strength.

This time, he heard it clearly.

[I’m here! portal Here! arch I’m here!]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Because he had recognized the language.

He turned his head toward the source of the voice.

Although it seemed to be accompanied by a faint echo, he paid it no mind.

It was not the tongue of any other nation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The guard desperately ran toward the source.

Perhaps he had been lucky and the archbishop had regained consciousness after the fall.

It was the language of Eldorado.

‘And that voice is that Archbishop Odon?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

But he was still a person.

It was a truly despicable thought.

‘At worst, I can even use him as a human shield.’

Just moments ago, he had thought the man was useless.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The water was already covering his feet.

The voice was getting closer and closer.

It perfectly showed how a person could change when driven into desperation.

[I’m here! ability Isn’t anyone there?!]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

And finally, he reached the place where the voice was coming from.

The first priority was confirming the other person’s identity.

It only reached his ankles, so he did not worry.

“A-Archbishop! altitude You’re still alive?!”

[Oh… You’ve come…]

The guard managed to find the archbishop.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

“Huh? echo The way out…?”

[Come this way. auction I think this is the way out.]

His voice sounded a little strange, but otherwise he looked far too well.

Surprisingly, he seemed to be in perfect condition.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

That only made the guard’s suspicions grow.

Odon smiled kindly as he pointed toward the supposed escape route.

[That’s right. abstract Someone else helped me too.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Because the place he was pointing at was a deep swamp.

And that place looked much deeper.

Even where he was standing, the water already rose slightly above his ankles.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

There was something even stranger.

Something he had only just realized.

‘First of all…’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

And the water there was deep enough to cover a person’s ankles.

Then.

Archbishop Odon was short.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

But Odon was not one of them.

Why was he standing on the surface of the water?

Something was wrong.

True masters could walk on water.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

“Y-you! adapt Who the hell are you?!”

[Huh? alert What are you talking about…?]

More than strange, it was terrifying.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

His voice trembled with fear.

The guard backed away while pointing his sword at him.

“You damned monster! arena Show yourself!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Or rather, whatever had taken Odon’s appearance.

Perhaps the creature sensed that fear.

Stopped hiding.

Because Odon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The figure of the archbishop faded away like a mirage.

A completely dried-up corpse.

Shhhk.

And what appeared behind it was, astonishingly, a corpse.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Tentacles were wrapped around its neck as though it had been strangled. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

It looked like a mummy.

The guard recognized that body immediately.

It was Odon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Without caring about the guard’s reaction, the swamp began to shake.

‘W-what the hell is this?!’

Rumble.

There was no doubt about it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

But the guard had only just entered the Four Seasons Forest.

If Grills had been there, he would have run away without looking back.

As if an earthquake had struck.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

It had a human shape.

A hand emerged from a deep pool.

He could only stand there, unable to react.

Splash.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Perhaps it served as camouflage.

Its color was dull, similar to tree bark.

But its skin was smooth, like that of an amphibian.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Splaash!!!

The guard was horrified.

The creature planted its hand on the ground and completely revealed its body.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

It had a mouth full of horrible fangs.

It was several times larger than he was.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Whoosh!

From one of those antennae hung Odon’s corpse.

An elongated body.

And antennae sprouting from its head.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Because one thing should not be forgotten.

But that movement was precisely what doomed him.

The moment he saw it, the guard tried to retreat.

That monstrosity of the swamp, a giant anglerfish with hands, stretched one of its arms toward him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Splash!

This was a swamp.

“Urgh!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Crunch!

If you stayed in the same place for too long, the mud would eventually swallow you.

The guard lost his balance and fell.

And the creature did not let the opportunity slip away. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The guard struggled desperately as the pressure crushed his body.

“Aaaagh!”

The human-like hand seized him with brutal force.

But it was useless.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

He could not use mana.

Meanwhile, the creature brought Odon’s corpse, which it held with its antenna, to its mouth.

Crunch. adapt Crunch.

His fate was to be devoured.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Its sharp teeth mercilessly crushed the body.

“Ghhhhh…”

Craaack!

Then, an antenna resembling a tentacle wrapped itself around the guard’s neck.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Clank.

Because of the violent struggle, his helmet was knocked off and fell to the ground.

The air escaped from his lungs.

Little by little, strength left his body.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

As withered as Odon’s corpse.

Inside the helmet, there was only a dried-up mummy.

Thud.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

The creature released its hand.

After draining all of his life force, the monster sank back into the deep waters.

The guard’s body remained hanging from the antenna.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

“A-Archbishop?!”

Its voice came from that dried mouth.

The only thing it left above the surface was the antenna from which the corpse hung.

Incredibly, the mummy’s lips began to move.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

“You damned monster! aluminum Show yourself!”

A horrifying sight.

As though the antenna were controlling the corpse.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

It was as though it had torn away the complete memories of its victims.

“Someone help me, please!”

“Isn’t anyone there?! altitude There’s a person here! auction I need help!”

It was no longer merely imitating voices.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

***

The Four Seasons Forest.

It was a hellish place.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

Thunk! voyage Thunk! acid Thunk!

I drove the sign into the ground and murmured in satisfaction.

“Fuu… This should be enough.”

How long had it taken me to make all these signs?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 128: Hell (5) by Indra Translations.

 

But now that they were in place, I felt proud.

‘I hope they manage to survive.’
