Chapter 32 - Chapter 4: Awakening #7 (2/2)
“Carack, put down that bag for a while.”
”Huh? The bag I am carrying?”
“Yes, the bag.”
Carack nodded and put down the bag. Carack knew that there were no weapons in the bag because it contained a lot of dry food and water.
However, In-gong stuck his hand deep in the bag and pulled out a short dwarf sword.
“Shutra?”
Caitlin asked In-gong with amazement but the one who was most surprised was Carack.
”Huck, when did you put that in? Did you pack a sword?”
Instead of replying, In-gong put his hands back in the bag and pulled out another dwarf sword.
There was a total of six.
Carack was the one who had carried the bag here, yet it seemed like he was seeing a ghost.
In-gong said naturally,
”I prepared the weapons found in the dwarf cave just in case. I put them in when you weren’t there.”
”I wouldn’t be able to carry all six swords.”
Despite In-gong’s explanation, Carack though it was strange. However, he was an orc and soon accepted the reality.
In fact, it was a rather strange story. It was rare for someone to carry six spare swords.
However, the joy and excitement of solving the problem outweighed the doubts.
”This is good. Let’s install them.”
Felicia, who had the expression of a ruins explorer, picked up a sword. Delia, Katuin, In-gong, Caitlin and Seira all placed a sword in the hands of the dwarf statues.
There was a noise as the swords were absorbed into the holes.
It happened the moment everything was equipped. There was a mechanical sound and the whole room vibrated.
In-gong jumped but Felicia wasn’t affected at all. She told everyone in a small voice.
”Calm down and step back. The device is starting.”
Felicia’s words were true. As everyone took a few steps back, the statues surrounding the dome started to move. They turned exactly halfway towards the dome and another mechanical sound was heard from the dome.
“The dome is opening.”
Caitlin muttered in a small voice. The middle of the dome cracked and started to open.
”Thunder Light Anvil.”
An enchanted magical weapon used by the wyrm Enkidu to guard his treasure.
Felicia’s smile widened. As the dome opened, a huge black thunderbolt, symbolising magic power, appeared in front of them and shone with a blue light.

The anvil was really huge. It was one metre long and the anvil plate was wide enough for Carack to lie down on.
It was clearly the Thunder Light Anvil.
However, what should they do now?
Caitlin and Felicia stared at the anvil. Felicia smiled brightly and explained.
”Wait, it isn’t complete yet. A final procedure is needed to operate the anvil.”
According to the records, there were at least three magic spells built into the Thunder Light Anvil. They couldn’t just act without considering the magic.
Felicia approached the anvil carefully and interpreted the letters engraved on the surface. The characters were engraved in the area where the blue light was shining.
'The speed is different.’
In-gong had reached level two in Dwarf Characters due to his training, but it was still only level two. Felicia was an expert in ruins exploration, so it was natural that she would interpret it faster and more accurately.
'Just let it go.’
He would entrust the work to the expert.
With a relaxed mind, In-gong watched Felicia work. However, Felicia was on her knees before the anvil and was sweating while interpreting the characters.
”Okay, I understand. I understand!”
Felicia stood up after deciphering the letters on the anvil and told everyone,
”Everyone has to come inside the circle of the stone statues. Delia, Katuin... and Caitlin?”
She called out, but her last word was filled with hesitation and anxiety. Caitlin just laughed and replied,
“Yes, Unni.”
Felicia smiled at the friendly reply. She gave the three people a cheerful look.
”Do you see the discs on the ground? Delia and Katuin will stand on the ones in the 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock direction, respectively. I will stand at the 12 o’clock direction and Caitlin at the 9 o’clock direction.”
“Ah, then what about us?”
In-gong, Carack and Seira were left over, so Felicia had to think about what to do with them.
”Just stand in the right place. Don’t step on the discs.”
Everyone else was surplus manpower. In-gong stayed near Felicia and Caitlin while Carack and Seira were also in the vicinity.
Felicia turned to them and said.
”Okay, insert magic power one by one in the clockwise direction. Got it?”
“I understand.”
”Yes, your Highness.”
“Yes.”
Delia, Katuin and Caitlin replied.
Felicia breathed out like she was trying to relax and injected magic power into the plate. Then the plate and altar glowed with a gentle light.
The signs were good so everyone acted quickly. Delia, Katuin and then Caitlin poured in their magic power, causing a bright light as well as a mechanical sound.
“Ohh, the altar is rising!”
The moment that Carack cried out. An enormous amount of light enveloped the party.
