Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3)

And even when entering, there was no way of knowing where you would appear.

In the Forest of the Four Seasons, anyone could enter whenever they wanted.

But getting out was another story.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Since the starting point was completely random, luck played an enormous role.

Some people started out in a swamp and were quickly devoured by a swamp beast.

That applied both to an outsider like Grills and to Ludwig, who, in another sense, had actually been quite lucky.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

It was entirely possible to set foot in a living hell the moment you entered.

In other words.

The Pope.

“Cough! abstract Cough!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

The interior of the Forest of the Four Seasons was made up of countless ecosystems.

He opened his eyes while enduring a pain as though thousands of needles were piercing his lungs.

No, now a convicted criminal, Luis II, coughed violently.

‘Where… the hell am I…?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Even volcanic regions.

Forests, plains, grasslands, deserts, snowy mountains, seas.

Those kinds of landscapes also existed outside the forest, so they weren’t particularly strange.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Before him stretched a landscape he had never seen described in any book.

But the place where Luis had appeared was different.

Gray and green.

‘Gray and green land…?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

At least a desert had sand.

And the ground?

Here there was only hard ground and a vast plain.

A completely incompatible combination of colors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Just looking at them gave him a bad feeling.

Greenish patches appeared here and there across the gray ground.

‘I don’t know what it is, but I don’t like that green color at all.’

From time to time, completely withered trees appeared, whose presence only made the landscape seem even more desolate.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

He couldn’t just stand there.

Above all.

Drip… Drip…

He needed to find somewhere to hide.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Because blood was still flowing from his wrist.

‘That damn bitch…’

The very wrist that Asella had severed without hesitation just before shoving him into the forest.

Frowning, he desperately searched through his belongings.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

It was the bundle Asella had given the condemned prisoners as her so-called final act of mercy.

Even with only one functional hand left, he managed to check the contents.

She had said there would be useful items inside.

So that was the only thing he could rely on.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

‘A dagger… dried meat… this is a potion… and this…’

Filled with a purple liquid.

The moment he saw it, Luis clenched his teeth.

The next thing that caught his attention was a small vial.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

“You fucking bit…!!!”

Because there was only one thing that liquid could mean.

Crash!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

“How dare you…?! amber How dare you mock me until the very end?! arch And you call this your final act of mercy?!”

The purple liquid spilled across the gray earth.

Shouting in rage, he hurled the vial with all his strength.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Poison.

Generally speaking, green or purple liquids symbolized only one thing.

It was an elegant way of telling him to kill himself before becoming food for the beasts.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

But at least he would die with less suffering.

Of course, his corpse would still end up being devoured. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

With a crazed expression, Luis forcibly pressed his severed hand back onto his wrist.

“Who decided that?! beacon Who?! arctic I’ll never give up!! album Never!!!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Its regenerative abilities were quite limited.

But a potion was a far cry from an elixir.

Then he poured the entire potion over the wound, trying to reattach the two parts.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

The bones did not.

His hand dangled loosely, barely attached.

Even so, Luis considered it enough and wrapped the joint with a strip of cloth from the bundle.

The flesh and muscles fused together.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

His iron will to survive was unmistakable.

No one could challenge him.

He still vividly remembered his luxurious life inside the Vatican.

‘I’ll survive no matter what. accent I refuse to lose all the power I built with my own hands!’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

The taste of power was sweeter than any wealth.

That was why he couldn’t give up.

Sweeter than any woman.

And anyone who tried was immediately purged.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

He would survive.

‘Lady Aris… grant me strength.’

And he would reclaim everything he had lost.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

If Aris could hear that prayer.

She would probably be left speechless.

Like the priest he once was, he even prayed to Aris.

A goddess to whom he had never paid any genuine attention.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Was it because everything was a wasteland?

There was too much dust.

Gripping the dagger with his only good hand, he began to walk.

“Cough! attic Cough!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

‘T-This…?’

Luis coughed again.

But he felt something wet.

He quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

It was blood.

The moment he saw it, all the color drained from his face.

He had coughed up a large amount of blood.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

If he had known it would come to this.

His body had probably become extremely weak during the time he spent imprisoned.

He would have at least taken a sip of the potion.

He had acted far too rashly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

In a survival situation, the most important thing was water.

‘Water… I have to find water first.’

Without it, no one could survive for more than three days.

He hurried forward while desperately searching for a water source.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

But finding one proved impossible.

Occasionally, he came across small puddles.

But the water was an unsettling shade of green.

There was only an endless expanse of gray earth.

Or it looked like little more than stagnant, rotten water.

“Cough! matrix Cough! apple Cough!”

For some reason, his coughing kept getting worse.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

The wrist he had forcibly reattached began to undergo a strange change.

Green cracks slowly began spreading from the joint.

“…Huh?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

“What… What the hell is this?!”

It looked like a disease.

Twitch!

Something terribly unnatural.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

He wasn’t the one moving it.

The severed hand he had reattached began moving slightly.

And that wasn’t all.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

It was impossible.

The movements became more violent.

The nerves had been completely severed.

Twitch! arrow Twitch!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Crack! admire Crunch! echo Crack!

Now the movements were completely grotesque.

The situation became even worse.

The hand writhed as though it had gained a life of its own.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

His other hand was still unharmed.

Luis’s face turned deathly pale.

Without wasting a second, he acted.

The fingers began bending in impossible directions, like the tentacles of a mollusk.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

“Aaaaaagh!!!”

With it, he gripped the dagger.

Screaming in panic, he cut through the joint once again.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

But he felt absolutely nothing as he amputated his hand again.

He didn’t know whether it was because the nerves that sensed pain had already been destroyed.

Or because terror had numbed every other sensation.

Thud!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Even separated from his body.

And yet. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

The hand fell to the ground.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

But Luis no longer cared.

It continued writhing in that grotesque manner.

Twitch! acquire Twitch!

Blood dripped nonstop from his severed wrist.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

But not anymore.

Just moments ago, it had been his own hand.

Because he was too busy stomping with all his strength on that grotesquely writhing hand.

“Die! alien Die, you monster!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

[…Hur…]

He didn’t know whether it had been possessed by an evil spirit or something else, but it was obvious that something had taken it over.

If he could have, he would have burned it to ashes on the spot.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

“?!”

While frantically crushing it beneath his foot, Luis suddenly froze.

It was then.

What had that sound been?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

[It… hur…]

He barely had time to wonder before he was utterly horrified.

Where had it come from?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

And not in some other language, but clearly in the language of Eldorado.

“Uuaaagh!”

Because the hand he had been stomping on.

Had spoken.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

[It… hur… It hurts…]

The moment he heard those words, Luis instinctively staggered backward.

The shock was so great that his legs gave out, and he fell onto the ground.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

And that mouth was speaking in the language of Eldorado.

A small mouth had appeared on one of the completely mangled fingers.

“A… Aaah…”

Luis saw it with his own eyes.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

The hand, which had remained motionless for a moment after being stomped on.

But the phenomenon didn’t end there.

Craack! legend Crunch! meadow Crack!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Its skin split apart.

Started moving again.

And little by little, it began to grow.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Until that hand had become an enormous mass.

The same process repeated itself over and over.

Bones and muscles were exposed.

Then a new layer of skin covered them again.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

It hadn’t just grown.

[It hurts. avalanche It hurts. atom It hurts. atomic It hurts.]

It had become a genuine abomination.

And that was precisely the problem.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Mouths sprouted all over the surface of the hand, speaking all kinds of words.

[Where? riddle Where? afford Where?]

[#%$%. #@#$. @$%%.]

[Give it to me. absorb Give it to me. album Give it to me. canvas Give it to me. harbor Give it to me.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

And there weren’t just mouths.

Ears.

Noses appeared as well.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Could it still be called a hand?

Even the fingers had stopped being just five.

Even eyes.

Now more than ten protruded, growing chaotically in every direction.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Or what the hell was that thing?

But one thing was certain.

Everything about that monstrosity was a complete mystery.

All of this.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Clatter.

Had happened because of the Forest of the Four Seasons.

“Aah… Aah…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

He had even wet himself, soaking his trousers.

His teeth wouldn’t stop chattering.

With his face completely drained of color, Luis stared at the monster that had, until recently, been his own hand. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

[Hahahaha! crystal Hahaha!]

There wasn’t the slightest trace of a human being’s dignity left.

But anyone would have ended up the same after witnessing such a transformation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Then he heard another voice very close by.

[How fun! apple How fun!]

Fearing the worst, Luis looked at the stump of his arm.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

A mouth had also appeared on the part of his arm that had been invaded by that green energy.

[Aris? acid Aris? autumn Aris?]

“A-A-Aris…”

And just as he expected.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

But it didn’t last long.

Luis’s mind went completely blank.

The mouth repeated his exact words.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Because an enormous shadow fell over him.

Towering before him was that gigantic hand covered in eyes, noses, and mouths.

With all hope lost, he slowly raised his head.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Its ears listened to the frantic beating of his heart and his ragged breathing.

And the mouths.

The hand’s eyes watched him intently.

Its noses sniffed his scent.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

[I’m hungry. acquire I’m hungry. acquire I’m hungry.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

The monstrous hand slowly approached him.

They stared at him as though he were prey while saliva dripped endlessly from them.

[Let’s eat. album Let’s eat. arcade Let’s eat. atlas Let’s eat.]

Every one of its organs was focused solely on Luis.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Luis fell into despair.

If there truly was a hell in this world.

And thought.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Perhaps it was exactly a place like this.

How had Ludwig managed to run into Grills?

Had all the political rivals he had condemned to death during his purges ended up like this?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Craack! artist Crunch! atom Munch! advance Crunch!

At last, the gigantic hand came crashing down on Luis.

Crunch!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

“Aaaaaaaaaah!! audit Aaaaaaah!!! legend AAAAAAAH!!!”

By what had once been his own hand.

Luis was devoured. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

[Delicious. alpha Delicious. meadow Delicious.]

[Terrible. artist Terrible. anchor Terrible.]

His screams echoed throughout that desolate wasteland.

But there was no one who could hear them.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

[Let’s eat more. anxiety Let’s eat more. beacon Let’s eat more.]

Except for his own hand.

No one.

“I saw you stealing sweet potatoes from the storage shed. arctic If you don’t want to end up with your wrist cut off, return them right now.”

“W-What is it?”

“Hey. afford Come over here.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Stealing my sweet potatoes.

Would you look at that.

“Uuuu…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

If he had harvested them himself, that would have been a different story.

I scolded Lackey for sneaking them out.

But taking food from storage without permission was something I couldn’t allow.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

“Then can I harvest them too?”

“Look. beacon See this? echo This is a seed. legend You plant it here. voyage Got it?”

So I taught him how to grow sweet potatoes.

“Just don’t eat them all.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

But he soon began enthusiastically planting sweet potatoes.

He already worked hard enough.

Lackey looked surprised that I was explaining it so patiently.

It was also necessary to reward him every now and then.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, summer would probably arrive.

And with it, enormous swarms of insects.

‘Will it be summer soon?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

Maybe it would drop ambergris again.

Honestly, I was a little curious.

‘I wonder if I’ll get to see the Celestial Whale again?’

Although aside from that.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Please don’t worry too much. abandon I’ll take my own precautions as well.]

[HeavenlyDemon: Four. acid I’m worried they might cause you trouble.]

[WildGrills: How many entered?]

[HeavenlyDemon: I’m sorry. atomic I wanted to eliminate all of them, but four managed to escape.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

I suppose I’d also have to prepare to receive some unexpected guests.

‘Then she really does seem to be the real Heavenly Demon.’

At the same time, I’d just learned something new.

Though they wouldn’t be like Ludwig.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 253: Illegal Dumping (3) by Indra Translations.

She’s someone who’s helping me.

The least I can do is repay her goodwill to the very end.

‘Well, so what?’
