Chapter 140: Combination (3)

Someone might say that I could have simply melted the ice I had stored in the box, but if my suspicions turned out to be wrong, I would have to go back to the river and cut more ice.

I did not want to go through that hassle, so this time I simply bought water.

To properly understand the effects of my aura, I bought water from the auction house.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Then I poured it into an iron container and placed the sword inside.

Crack!

All that remained was to do the same thing as before—activate the aura and wait for the result.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

The moment I activated the aura, the water began freezing at an incredible speed.

The ice started spreading throughout the entire iron container.

But it was not only the water that froze.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Won’t I be able to control this?’

Apparently, the effect only applied to whatever came into direct contact with the aura, because the ice did not trap the sword itself.

If it continued like that, I would end up losing the whole container, so I hurriedly pulled it away.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

I did not know whether mana itself had changed, but it was obvious that I needed to investigate it more thoroughly.

But if I could not control it, it would stop being a blessing and become a poison.

I had obtained an incredible ability.

The fact that the water froze was fantastic.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Nor did I know whether it was permanent or if it would disappear over time.

‘For now, it seems I can regulate the intensity depending on the amount of aura…’

However, I did not know how to turn the cold on or off.

After several tests, I discovered that I could adjust the power of the effect.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

After thinking about it for a long while, I decided to ask in the gallery.

WildGrills

Title) Come and behold…

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

While cutting trees, an entire tree froze, so I ran a test and it turns out my aura has acquired an ice attribute.

Just kidding. crystal Does anyone know why this is happening?

My sword is hungry…

└HeavenlyDemon: What beautiful sword energy. arch It even shines. arcade It is more beautiful than what those people from the Northern Sea use.

└WildGrills: The people of the Northern Sea control ice?

└HeavenlyDemon: Most of them do. antenna But they achieve it through their martial arts. anchor Do you happen to know any technique related to ice?

Also, I cannot activate or deactivate it at will. beacon Does anyone know how?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└Swordmaster: I think HeavenlyDemon is right. avalanche It is not as if elemental auras do not exist, but normally you must learn a special technique. shadow In Grills’ case, it seems the mana itself possesses the ice attribute.

└WildGrills: No. attic I only know the formula you taught me.

└HeavenlyDemon: How curious. apron Perhaps your internal energy acquired an icy nature on its own.

└WildGrills: Can I really not turn it on and off?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└Swordmaster: I have never seen a case like this either. album I have seen people control fire or lightning, but never mana itself possessing an elemental attribute.

└HeavenlyDemon: I do not know about that. harbor As I said before, even the Northern Sea Ice Palace obtains that power through martial arts.

└With that ability, you do not really need an ice storage or anything like that anymore, do you?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└Seriously, even the way he gets stronger is ridiculous hahaha.

└Why does this guy become stronger in the weirdest ways?

└Hahaha. attic He wanted a refrigerator so badly, and in the end he became one himself.

└WildGrills: So it is not a bad thing?

└StarlightPrincess: Just as the others said, it seems the essence mixed with your mana and gave it an icy nature. airport This is also completely beyond my expectations.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└AllFather: There are some documented cases in which mana artificially acquires the nature of an element. adapt There are references to this in ancient texts.

└StarlightPrincess: If your body had not been able to withstand the cold, the first thing to freeze would have been your own mana. amber You could even have developed a condition similar to my meridian blockage. afford It would be best to take precautions.

└WildGrills: I will keep that in mind.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└WildGrills: What do you mean by not good?

└AllFather: Those who received ice essences ended up with their organs completely frozen, as though they had suffered a meridian blockage. atomic Those who received fire essences could not withstand the heat, and their mana circuits ended up melting.

└WildGrills: Did those people go through a process like mine?

└AllFather: No. action Most received injections directly into their mana circuits. avalanche And the results were not exactly good.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└WildGrills: And why did you not tell me this before?

└AllFather: Just in case, it would be advisable to follow StarlightPrincess’s advice and obtain more Adult Mandrake essence.

└WildGrills: Dammn…

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└AllFather: Because you were using elixir at the same time. silence Elixir is not a simple common potion. voyage It heals the body while it absorbs and adapts to the essence. shadow I was referring to cases where only the pure essence was used.

Without that, the result could have been disastrous.

I had been able to absorb it thanks to the formula HeavenlyDemon taught me.

So this was not an ability I could simply celebrate without concern.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└SunForEver: With that alone, you will never have to worry about ice for the rest of your life. august Wouldn’t you give me one? arcade I bet selling ice would be a fantastic business.

I needed to be prepared.

I would have to wait and see, but it was possible that side effects might appear later.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└SunForEver: That is a secret. audit If you find another one, would you be interested in making a deal?

└SunForEver: I am not planning to drink it myself anyway, so I do not care about the side effects. athlete What a shame you do not have any more Ice Flowers.

└WildGrills: Who the hell were you planning to give it to?

└WildGrills: Sorry, but I only had one Ice Flower. beacon Besides, I do not know what side effects it might have.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

And depending on how it developed, this ability could end up becoming a double-edged sword, so practice was essential.

Although I had gained an ice attribute, I had not gained resistance to the cold.

└WildGrills: First I would have to find one. antique Besides, I still did not get the ability I wanted.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Will I be able to use this with my bare hands too?’

Would ice appear as well?

What if I applied aura to my hands instead of the sword?

After all, too much of anything is bad.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Crack!

Curiosity got the better of me.

I shattered the ice in the container with a hammer, filled it with water again, and submerged my hand.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

‘It will be useful when I run out of weapons.’

As expected, the water froze completely once more.

It seemed that it worked even without a weapon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

I practically do not know how to fight barehanded.

I rely heavily on equipment. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

The truth is, I am busy.

‘For a while, I will have to focus on learning how to control it.’

Although, as I had already repeated several times, if I could not control it, I had no idea what kind of danger it might bring me.

Is that why people say it is better to focus on one thing at a time?

I have to train swordsmanship, practice the cultivation method, and learn how to control this new ability.

I think the best approach will be to learn to control the cold only to the point where I can handle it properly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Even if this is a fantasy world, a power on that scale should be impossible.

Well, there are also people capable of cutting mountains with a sword, but they are in a completely different league.

‘It is not like I am going to use an Ice Age or anything like that.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

‘It’s about time for dinner.’

After finishing organizing everything, I continued cutting trees.

Since the ice attribute prevented me from using sword energy, I had no choice but to rely on pure physical strength.

Even so, my body had become quite strong, so I gathered enough wood without too much trouble.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Is it because it’s winter?

As far as I know, the length of the day depends on revolution, not rotation.

If it really gets dark earlier, then it’s not a local phenomenon but something affecting the entire planet.

The sun seems to set especially early.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

After all, this is the Forest of Four Seasons, so I let it go.

But I had no way of knowing.

‘I’ve heard of places where the sun never sets.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Despite everything that had happened, our adorable Wonmo was still sleeping.

‘Well, he’s still a baby.’

It seemed that when winter arrived, he simply slept to recover energy.

Afterward, I ate smoked tiger meat and added more firewood to the fireplace to warm myself up.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

And even though I had no experience, I now knew that both could be prevented.

So far, the only real threats had been the blizzard and the avalanche.

Besides, most animals had also reduced their activity.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

At the very least, it was not swept away.

Even when the avalanche came, the chimney remained intact.

After seeing the power of the avalanche, it was clear that it would have to be made of bricks.

‘I need to build an emergency exit. crystal I suppose I’ll have to make it the same way I made the chimney.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Is there anything better than mud…? attic I guess cement.’

Though wear and tear is inevitable, so I’ll have to inspect it from time to time.

Does cement even exist in this world?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

City walls, for example, sometimes could only be destroyed with cannons.

Or is there some similar material?

People in the past built civilizations using whatever they had available despite technological limitations.

Title) Does anyone know a better way to bind bricks together?

(Photo of the chimney)

So far I’ve been fixing them together with mud, but is there a better method?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└StarlightPrincess: As far as I know, castles used to be built with a mixture of sand and lime.

I’m asking because I want to build something sturdier if it ever collapses. harbor I feel like mud has its limits.

└DwarfPassingBy: Yep. amateur The lady above is right. abstract More specifically, there’s something called cement. arch Mix it with sand and you’re done.

└WildGrills: Cement? avalanche The same cement I know?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

My eyes widened.

I hadn’t even mentioned the word because I assumed it didn’t exist, and yet it appeared immediately.

Did cement exist in this world too?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└DwarfPassingBy: Then you know exactly what it is. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. alien With all the money you have, why haven’t you used it until now?

└DwarfPassingBy: And what kind of cement do you know?

I never imagined it would even have the same name.

└WildGrills: You mix it with other stuff, smear it on, and after a while it hardens.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└WildGrills: You’re not lying to me, are you?

└DwarfPassingBy: No idea. alert It’s been around forever. antenna The only thing I know for sure is that dwarves invented it.

└WildGrills: I never imagined it existed ;; By the way, when was cement invented?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└DwarfPassingBy: Ah… Why did you have to say that? silence I could’ve gotten something out of him in return.

└WildGrills: Even if that were true, I’m sure the only thing you’d ask for is alcohol hahaha.

└AllFather: He isn’t lying. artist There is even a theory that the dwarves’ rapid technological development was due to the discovery of cement. arcade After all, it strengthens the very foundation of everyday life.

└DwarfPassingBy: Want to make a bet?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└AllFather: Exactly. orbit The gift I gave you is a similar case. atlas It cannot even be manufactured with current technology.

The gift AllFather was referring to was the spatial backpack.

└WildGrills: You mean it appeared out of nowhere?

└AllFather: However, there are suspicious aspects. galaxy For the era in which it appeared, it was far too advanced a technology, and scholars have debated it extensively. abandon That is why we speak of a discovery rather than an invention.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└AllFather: The most widely accepted theory among scholars is that it is an ancient artifact that survived by chance.

It was an extraordinary tool.

Although it did not ignore weight, it completely eliminated the limitations of space.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

An ancient civilization like the ones that appear in novels and manga?

└WildGrills: An ancient artifact?

└AllFather: Yes. silence From the era when the gods still descended into the world. alien An age beyond the reach of modern humanity.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Since there were similar cases on Earth, I was not particularly surprised.

A civilization that disappeared, leaving behind only a few traces.

Something like lost technology?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Just think about ancient Egypt.

Even today, we do not fully understand how they built the pyramids.

You don’t even have to look far.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

In any case, I put that topic aside and returned to what mattered.

Now that I knew cement existed, the next step was learning how to use it. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

‘Although, after military service, you start feeling that the pyramids probably could have been built through sheer human labor.’

The dwarf seemed to know at least the basics and explained them to me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└WildGrills: Why?

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

└DwarfPassingBy: If you’re going to put it between bricks, mix it with sand, not dirt.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└WildGrills: Ok.

└DwarfPassingBy: No idea. ability My father always said that’s how it should be done.

└Isn’t that exactly the same as when academy professors tell you to do something?

└Strangely enough, that inspires confidence hahaha.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Around here, everything is dirt.

‘Will I have to go downstream or to the sea?’

There’s no sand.

└Yeah. auction The students just do whatever the professor says. adopt Nobody really knows why hahaha.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

Even in winter, I would rather avoid the sea.

I could only find it downstream or on the coast.

Downstream is probably the better choice.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

After checking the auction house for a bit, I left another comment for the dwarf.

‘The auction house doesn’t sell sand.’

I’m not planning to build it immediately, but I should start gathering materials now.

There was something else I wanted to ask besides cement.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└WildGrills: Hey. sphere Do elemental weapons exist?

└WildGrills: And how are they usually made? orbit Naturally?

└DwarfPassingBy: Usually, yes. abstract For example, the Hammer of Lightning was born after a bolt of lightning struck it from the sky. orbit Though its owner was electrocuted to death hahaha.

└DwarfPassingBy: Yeah, of course. timber Lightning-attributed hammers, swords wrapped in flames, things like that. silence Why?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└WildGrills: I was wondering whether they could be made artificially. portal Something like infusing the essence I drank into a sword during the forging process.

└DwarfPassingBy: No. beacon I heard that sword was stuck in the middle of a volcanic crater. anchor But why are you asking?

└WildGrills: And what about fire weapons? armor Did their owners burn to death?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

└But even if you made one, you wouldn’t sell it.

└WildGrills: It would just be for decoration hah.

└An ice sword sounds awesome lol.

└DwarfPassingBy: There he goes again with his nonsense hahaha. adapt First find another one of those Ice Flowers, then we’ll talk.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Well… maybe if I found two or three more.’

Just as the dwarf said, it would be impossible unless I found more Ice Flowers.

And even if I did find another one, I had no intention of combining it with a sword.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

I suppose I can leave the task of adding more firewood to him.

The Sloth continued staring at the fire while I slept.

After continuing to chat about trivial things, the day finally came to an end.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

And so the next morning arrived.

While cutting trees, I found another Ice Flower.

“Wow. advance Another one of these?”

When I woke up and saw the completely clear sky—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

“There’s another one here… and another one over here… Why are there so many?”

There were several.

And it wasn’t just one.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 140: Combination (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Could it be like a seasonal food?’

All I had to do was look around among the trees for a bit to find them.

As if they were wild vegetables.
