Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1)

It could not even be called a serious escape attempt; he had simply gotten carried away by excitement and started running around everywhere.

Although Lackey’s escape had begun, it did not last very long.

He had lived with a congenital visual impairment, and suddenly he could see the world with his own eyes.

After spending his entire life seeing the world in a blur, it was only natural that he would react that way when he finally saw it clearly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

“……”

If it happened to me, I would consider it a miracle rather than merely discovering a new world.

“Look at this~. antique I barely give you a pair of glasses and you’ve already broken them.”

The reason I ended up catching Lackey again was as absurd as it was simple.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Even though he could not use mana, he was still a gorilla.

And glasses are objects that can easily break if too much force is applied to them.

His physical strength far surpassed that of a human.

He had broken the glasses.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

It was practically inevitable that they would end up breaking.

I alternated my gaze between the glasses, snapped in half at the bridge, and a completely dejected Lackey.

On top of that, he was excited.

‘Fortunately, only the frame broke.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

It seemed that regaining his eyesight had truly made him happy.

Normally, he always wore a fierce and threatening look.

It felt strange seeing that expression on him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Lackey looked at me.

Although that happiness had not lasted long.

“……”

“I’ll try to fix them. meadow Wait a moment.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

His expression reflected desperate hope.

I let out a small laugh and entered the gallery.

As if asking whether they could really be repaired.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Sir, do you remember the glasses you gave me earlier?]

[WildGrills: It’s not that. adapt Lackey broke them. afford I think he got too excited.]

[SunForEver: What’s wrong with them? atom Does the prescription not fit?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[SunForEver: Then it’ll be quick. wizard Send them over for a moment.]

[WildGrills: No. album Only the bridge snapped.]

[SunForEver: How did he break them? sphere Do new ones need to be made?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

SunForEver sent them back completely repaired.

Not much time passed after I returned the glasses.

He also joked that next time he would charge me for the repair.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

“Alright. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com canvas Here you go. apple If you break them again, I’m putting a lock on them.”

I assumed it meant thank you.

If Lackey broke them again, I would have to pay a reasonable amount to fix them.

“Sie-sie.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

His expression looked much gentler than before.

Perhaps because the prescription was very strong.

Lackey immediately put the glasses on.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

With them, it was the exact opposite.

His eyes seemed smaller, and his somewhat clumsy primate appearance stood out.

‘It’s surprising how well they suit him.’

Without them, he looked like an aggressive gorilla.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

His head was so unusually large that they looked more like protective goggles.

Gorillas practically have no nose bridge.

I thought the glasses would constantly slip off.

But I was wrong.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Once the problem with his eyesight was resolved, I reviewed the final question on my questionnaire again.

‘Although he broke them earlier precisely because he kept taking them off and putting them back on.’

Even when he moved vigorously, they barely shifted.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

“Lackey. aluminum Can you look at this?”

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

And it might be an especially sensitive subject for him.

There was still something I wanted to ask him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

“Uu.”

Lackey read the question without frowning like before.

Perhaps because he had regained his eyesight and his glasses had been repaired.

“……”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Let me correct myself.

He frowned the moment he finished reading it.

No.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

And it was a reaction I had expected.

His face filled with obvious displeasure.

‘I wouldn’t feel comfortable either.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

And I also wanted to know why Lackey had left the troop.

The question was about the Gorilla Chief.

The one who was probably his brother.

I wanted to know whether they had both learned martial arts from Wi Hochang.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

After thinking for a while, Lackey finally spoke.

I knew the Gorilla Chief was unusually kind for a beast.

But I wanted to hear the details of the story.

“……#%@!%”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

I recorded his entire explanation and sent it to HeavenlyDemon.

He seemed willing to answer at least this question.

Perhaps because I had given him the glasses.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

But I imagined the chaos it would cause and gave up on the idea.

[HeavenlyDemon: It’s quite an interesting story. august He says it all began when a man named Wi Hochang appeared. meadow After that, even the leader of the troop changed.]

[WildGrills: You mean he killed the previous leader and took his place?]

For a moment, I considered posting it directly in the gallery.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: Something like that. palette The most surprising part is that Blood Demon is suspected to have eventually reached the Life and Death Realm and achieved Immortal Ascension.]

But I didn’t know what they meant.

Those terms sounded vaguely familiar.

[WildGrills: Life and Death Realm? afford Immortal Ascension? antenna What’s that?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: And what exactly is Immortal Ascension?]

[HeavenlyDemon: The Life and Death Realm lies beyond the Profound Realm, the realm where I currently stand. avalanche It is a state that allows one to achieve Ascension to Immortality and accomplish anything through will alone.]

Judging by HeavenlyDemon’s reaction, they had to be absurdly high levels.

[HeavenlyDemon: Abandoning the mortal body and becoming an immortal. meadow Though it’s strange. arena Blood Demon’s martial arts were far removed from the Dao, and he also had far too many attachments to the mortal world. wizard Did he become a hermit after living in this forest?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

I didn’t understand the concept either.

But I continued asking just as she wanted. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

HeavenlyDemon repeatedly questioned whether Blood Demon had truly ascended.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

And he added that he did it from time to time.

He only kept repeating that Blood Demon had gone up to the sky.

Lackey, however, seemed unfamiliar with the term.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: Hm. admire Based on that description alone, I can’t be certain it was truly Immortal Ascension. arrow But it is very possible that Blood Demon did achieve it.]

According to him, every time Blood Demon ascended, the gorillas would desperately run over and grab onto his pants.

[WildGrills: I suppose so. portal After all, the Gorilla Chief was wearing his clothes.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Ascension or not.

I didn’t know all the details.

What mattered was that Blood Demon, Wi Hochang, was no longer in this forest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

When we reached the part after Blood Demon’s ascension, Lackey suddenly became furious.

I asked for a translation.

But it seemed he had lived an extraordinarily turbulent life.

“#$%%!!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

That was why he held so much resentment toward them.

The opposition from the other gorillas had been so strong that even his brother Wi Heuk, the current Gorilla Chief, had no choice.

It turned out that as soon as Blood Demon disappeared, he had been expelled from the troop.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Lackey was an albino gorilla.

‘To survive, they probably didn’t have many alternatives either…’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

A creature that stood out no matter where he went.

His expulsion was almost inevitable.

If he stayed with the troop, he could endanger everyone else.

From the sound of it, they should have expelled him much earlier.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

But Blood Demon had been preventing it.

According to the story, he had even killed the previous leader because the leader insisted on expelling Lackey despite his orders.

The fact that he massacred a certain ethnic group out of revenge and the fact that he protected Lackey.

‘Could it be that he had some kind of trauma related to that?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

To find out for sure, I would have to meet the Gorilla Chief, Wi Heuk.

Perhaps he himself belonged to a minority group, one that had also suffered discrimination, making him especially sensitive to such issues.

I couldn’t be certain.

Of course, that was merely my own hypothesis.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Huh? riddle Don’t you think that will make all those weirdos show up again?]

[HeavenlyDemon: I think it would be a good idea to post this story in the gallery.]

Perhaps he had written a book during all this time.

Or maybe he had left behind some other clue.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Immortal Ascension meant becoming an immortal.

While we were talking, HeavenlyDemon made a rather strange suggestion.

In other words, ascending.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

But what if it turned out that Blood Demon had ascended?

That would be a form of legitimacy they had never possessed before.

The reason the Blood Sect had scattered and only caused trouble in the gallery was because of Blood Demon’s disappearance.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Had HeavenlyDemon brought it up without considering that?

It wouldn’t be strange if they started treating him as a martyr.

‘There are already terrorists on Earth who do all kinds of crazy things. artist It wouldn’t be any different here.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Vermin? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ]

She surely had some plan of her own.

[HeavenlyDemon: You don’t need to worry about that. zenith This will be a good opportunity to crush all those vermin.]

I didn’t think so.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

But according to her, the Blood Sect members were the worst of all.

The gallery was full of troublesome users.

[HeavenlyDemon: As you’ve already seen, the members of the Blood Sect cause problems even within the gallery.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Sometimes they even committed crimes while imitating him.

The reason no related posts appeared when searching for them was because the moderator and HeavenlyDemon constantly deleted them and banned their authors.

Not only did they idolize a mass murderer like Blood Demon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Unlike registered accounts, anonymous users would return shortly after being banned.

However, banning anonymous accounts had little effect.

According to one theory, the reason was the mana they absorbed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Then why were registered accounts different?

That was why bans on anonymous users barely accomplished anything.

Just as the water a person drinks is never exactly the same every day, the same applied to mana.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t they absorb different mana too?”

The explanation was slightly different.

One might ask.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

But theories nonetheless.

Of course, all of that was still just theory.

If anonymous users were the mana, then registered accounts were the dantian.

Quite convincing theories, yes.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Sometimes it was just an act.

‘Ah, now that I think about it, this feels familiar.’

Users who made you wonder whether they were genuinely insane.

I had seen people like that countless times on the internet.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

But other times they were genuine fanatics capable of using chilling logic and ways of speaking.

Is it really that strange to idolize someone from several decades ago?

And that raises a question.

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

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

The development of the internet had accelerated the exchange of information.

‘If there are people who idolize Hitler, then Blood Demon isn’t that surprising.’

And the faster information circulated, the easier it became to manipulate.

But it had also spread harmful ideologies.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

That was probably what HeavenlyDemon was aiming for.

Luring the hidden cockroaches out into the open so they could be exterminated.

In the end, when you looked into the truth about those people, most turned out to be rather mediocre.

‘Drawing them out is fine, but…’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

That was another problem.

Who was going to handle the extermination?

Though if HeavenlyDemon had proposed it personally, she surely already had a plan.

To be honest, I would just drop the bomb and leave.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

But somehow, I still always ended up at the center of the storm.

The classic irresponsible kind of fun.

I had become more cautious after the Immortal King incident. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: I don’t mind posting it, but can you really control the consequences? admire This seems like the kind of thing that could cause serious trouble even in the real world.]

Was the gallery no longer enough to relieve her boredom?

[HeavenlyDemon: I’ll take care of everything. autumn You don’t need to worry.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: Then do that.]

[WildGrills: I’ll ask the moderator for permission first. acid I don’t want to get on his bad side.]

After hearing her out, I thought about it for a while before making a decision.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

So I went directly to inform the moderator.

Getting banned would be a real headache.

[HeroDontThrowAway: There’s no problem with something like that!]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Wasn’t provoking tension or conflict between nations prohibited?]

[HeroDontThrowAway: I think anyone who blindly believes the words of a gorilla without questioning them is an idiot!]

[HeroDontThrowAway: It’s not a post intended to incite anyone!]

[WildGrills: Uh……]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

In any case, I already had permission.

Now that I thought about it…

He was right.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Title) They say Blood Demon achieved Immortal Ascension?

WildGrills

So I uploaded the video as it was.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

He keeps mentioning that he continued ascending into the heavens.

(Video of Lackey talking about Blood Demon’s Immortal Ascension)

(Video of Lackey getting angry while talking about his past)

From what he’s saying, it seems Blood Demon already achieved Immortal Ascension.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

So does that mean Wi Hochang is still alive, or how does this work?

└ Swordmaster: Immortal Ascension? aluminum What kind of monster was that man?

└ Swordmaster: There isn’t a specific term. absorb Most ascend, so they no longer influence the mortal world.

└ WildGrills: According to HeavenlyDemon, he reached the Life and Death Realm. august What do they call it in the West?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

└ Hahahaha. sphere The heirs are gorillas? altitude Hahahahaha.

└ Hey, then do these two gorillas count as Blood Demon’s official heirs?

└ The Blood Sect spent their entire lives worshipping Blood Demon, and it turns out they’re inferior to a bunch of gorillas. absorb Hahahaha.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

└ Yeah. atom What’s wrong, Blood Sect members? artist Does it hurt? anxiety You’re still worse than a bunch of gorillas.

└ Those guys are just strong.

└ Wasn’t the Gorilla Chief absurdly strong? agent He even used my Internal Force Method.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

└ The Hochang you worshipped so much doesn’t even exist anymore. arrow Hahahaha.

I slowly closed the gallery.

The dice had already been cast.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Besides, dinner time was already approaching. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

From this point onward, both the comments and the posts would become complete chaos.

It was time to finish work.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

“……”

“Kyuu!”

“Lackey. accent Let’s go upstream. timber The others are coming too.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

We headed up the river together with our animal companions for dinner.

But now I had Lackey.

Normally, I would have collected the fish traps by myself.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Having an extra pair of hands made everything much easier.

As soon as I showed him how to retrieve them, he learned instantly.

‘This is why workers are necessary.’

Of course, delicate tasks like cleaning or cooking would still fall entirely to me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

“What medicinal herb did you bring today?”

This time, he had gathered quite a lot.

While I was at it, I checked the herbs Dad Raccoon had brought.

“Kiee!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

After we finished eating and cleaning everything up, I entered the gallery again.

It was a plant with very noticeable white flowers.

I’d have to ask later what its properties were.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Just as I expected.’

The Blood Sect and the rest of the users were engaged in a fierce comment war.

Expecting to find the Blood Sect completely losing their minds.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Still.

Though considering how disastrous the Blood Sect was, that didn’t really mean much.

They were experts at provoking people.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

And of course, that single sentence was making them boil with rage.

Since it was an attack based strictly on facts, nobody could refute it.

The amount of crossfire was impressive.

Doesn’t matter. artist They’re still inferior to gorillas hahaha.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Can HeavenlyDemon really handle this?’

Title) I’m going to kill those damned gorillas.

And then I saw such an eye-catching title that I opened it without thinking.

Thinking that, I entered a trending post.

And the insolent fool who dared mock Blood Demon will not escape unscathed either.

I will personally go and take their heads.

This venerable one will never acknowledge those stupid beasts as heirs.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

But the fact that he was using a registered account increased his credibility slightly.

If it had been an anonymous account, I wouldn’t have cared.

It was impossible to tell whether it was an act or whether he was serious.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Just as I was about to write a reply…

If he wanted to come, let him come.

I wasn’t too worried.

‘There are more lunatics than you’d imagine…’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 157: Face-to-Face Encounter (1) by Indra Translations.

I had a feeling something very entertaining was about to happen.

‘Isn’t this literally an invitation to meet in person?’

HeavenlyDemon’s comment appeared right beneath it.
