Chapter 32 - Chapter 4: Awakening #7
One was water and the other was wind.
From Felicia’s right hand, green wind rose to form a beautiful woman. Felicia commanded the laughing wind spirit, who turned into wind and dug into the cracks of the cliff.
After one or two minutes,..
“Okay, that should be enough.”
Felicia muttered and the wind sprang out of the crack. The wind spirit waited in place as Felicia commanded a blue water spirit to emerge from her left hand.
”The crack is enough. Can you do it?”
The water spirit nodded. The water spirit moved away from Felicia and plunged into the same crack the wind spirit had. Soon, the inside of the crack was filled with water.
”Freeze.”
This time it was magic, not a spirit. The water that filled the crack froze instantly and the crack started widening due to the expanding ice. In spite of the ice, cracking sounds could be heard.
In-gong now knew what Felicia was doing.
‘Indeed, a magician.’
Felicia waved her hands and the ice melted. The water spirit returned to Felicia in the form of a woman and she took out some flasks from her pocket.
“One last blast. Explosions are common when exploring ruins.”
She murmured playfully as she placed the flasks, then turned back to In-gong’s group.
”Bang!”
A real explosion swallowed up Felicia’s words. An enormous amount of dust rose as the cliff crumbled. However, the water and wind spirits took care of it.
”This is a shoddy method.”
Perfect workmanship would require a longer time. Felicia winked at In-gong and Caitlin who started clapping.
“Ohh! There is a hole! It is huge!”
Carack exclaimed loudly as he clapped along with In-gong. There was a huge hole that was approximately two metres in diameter.
“Crazy. Is this real?”
Felicia, who seemed to be enjoying the applause, shrugged. Delia and Katuin’s expressions weren’t much different.
”I told you. It is right here.”
In-gong smiled at Caitlin who nodded like she believed him.
“Let me check it quickly.”
Felicia summoned her light spirit and entered the hole. Then she let out a cry of confusion.
“Oh, my god.”
It was real. There was a large room inside the hole where dwarf characters were carved on the walls.

In-gong entered the hole after Felicia and looked around. It was a large space dozens of metres wide, with the walls and ceiling resembling what he had seen in the game. There was only one thing different.
”Prince, what is this dome?”
Carack looked at the large metal dome in the middle of the room and asked. The only thing different from In-gong’s memories was this dome.
‘There are dwarf statues around the sphere and the anvil is inside it.’
He hadn’t seen a cover when he was playing as Locke and had destroyed the anvil.
Felicia touched the surface of the dome gently.
“It is like the last safeguard. The Thousand Light Anvil must be inside the dome.”
She started tapping on the dome. It didn’t seem easy to disassemble.
”Aren’t there any dungeon guardians?”
Caitlin asked as she looked at the walls. Felicia was the one who replied.
“This is the innermost room. When exploring ruins, the most powerful guardian is usually found in front of the most important room. The most important room often looks plain.”
It was similar to the relationship between a large lock and a treasure chest. The treasure chest couldn’t be opened due to the lock.
“Then we have to break this dome?”
Carack asked with wide eyes. Delia and Katuin looked grim while Felicia replied,
”No, we can’t mess with it. If we do it wrong, the anvil inside can break.”
They had to find a normal method to release the dome. Then Katuin, who was interpreting the dwarf statues and characters engraved on the wall, called out to Felicia.
“Royal Princess.”
Katuin stood before the dwarf statues surrounding the dome. They were the same size as actual dwarves and filled with holes.
Felicia sighed,
”Yes, maybe these guys are the cause.”
Three of them were holding real metal swords, but the remaining six were bare despite their arms being in the right posture.
”Uh... Do we have to give them swords?”
Felicia alternated between looking at the dwarf characters and stone statues and nodded.
“Perhaps. I think we need to give them dwarf swords.”
Despite answering, a little bit of bitterness was mixed in her voice.
There was no choice. They suddenly needed six dwarf swords!
”Then should we go back? There is no need to break through the dungeon so we can spare the time.”
Felicia sighed as she spoke.
In-gong frowned at her words and he realized one thing.
‘I have some.’
The dwarf swords. It wasn’t just one, but dozens of them!
In-gong activated the inventory window that he had forgotten about for a few days. The weapons he secured on the first day from the dwarf cave were kept very well.
”No, wait a minute.”
Everyone’s gaze went towards In-gong reflexively. In-gong couldn’t just pull out a dwarf sword from his inventory, so he approached Carack.
