Chapter 607
V55C3P1 – Undeniable Danger
At last, the treasure in the dragon’s lair was revealed .
“Just how much…”
“There’s so much . ”
The dwarven users were overwhelmed by the mountains of treasure inside the lair .
Just by looking at them, all scattered across the lair, the dazzling shiny equipment and jewelry and assorted ornaments that seemed to promise endless wealth .
< You have infiltrated the dragon’s lair .
You have accomplished a historical adventure achievement .
A safe return after venturing inside the dragon’s lair will grant one permanent level for three adventure type skills . >
< Reporting the achievement will grant 50,000 adventure honor points .
New trends and rumors of the dragon will spread . >
The message alert popped up, but the eyes were fixated on the radiant treasure .
“That is the Hammer of the Everlasting Flame . ”
“That’s the Bulwark Cloth . Armor made out of that is…”
The dwarves were more interested in the equipment and treasure than the towers of gold and they could not be more amazed .
“If we stock up all this… We’ll be able to make a killing . Hunting thousands of boss monsters still won’t get us anywhere near as much as grabbing a few things from here . ”
“Crazy . This is just crazy . The world’s equipment, all right here . ”
The users were reaching out towards the treasure without even realizing it themselves .
Of course, the one who got on all fours ready to pounce was Weed!
“Everyone stop!”
Nide spread his arms wide and blocked Weed and the other users .
“Do not forget that this is the dragon’s lair . There are traces of magic on parts of the treasures . The wrong touch will lead to all sorts of danger . ”
“He’s right . We have to check for the magic and dispel them first . Or else it will really become dangerous for us . ”
Haruna joined in as well .
The dwarves heard it over a hundred times even before the arrival . Though once he saw the treasure, he lost his senses, but the bitter warning brought him back .
“Let’s be extra careful . ”
“Yeah, that could have been trouble . This is not a place to run around freely . ”
They managed to suppress greed with reason .
If they wanted to get out with the treasure, they couldn’t risk triggering the traps .
“K-uugh . ”
Weed slowly stood up from all fours .
Acting as if it was all very natural!
“The lair floor is surely dense . Come to think of it,the ground is always dense . First… K-hmm! Following proper procedures, adventurer Haruna-nim will check if the lair is enchanted with magic . ”
The holy artefact borrowed from the Earth Cult, the Cleansing Torch .
Any curse or trap touched by its warmth will be dispelled .
Weed approached Haruna immediately .
“You have to be quick, okay?”
“Yes . Weed-nim . I understand . ”
Haruna lit up the Cleansing Torch . Then, warmth spread out everywhere .
Weed spoke up .
“Haruna-nim . We must hurry . We are out of time . ”
“I will get right on it . ”
Haruna began walking to the treasure, and after only several steps, Weed’s nagging bombarded her .
“Don’t tell me you’re worried about noise complaints right now . “
“Alright, alright . ”
Haruna self-reflected on her slow footwork and walked with wide strides, revealing her long, beautiful elven legs .
It was just when she brought the torch close to the treasure .
“How much longer? It’s not done yet? Do I have to wait more?”
“The magic trap is being dispelled . Give me a bit of time . ”
“Carefully but quickly . Can’t you work more efficiently ?”
“…”
“How long are you going to take? Jesus . ”
Weed was pestering fiercely .
***
They got inside the Black Dragon Kaybern’s lair through the mine in Debrado village!
The stacks of treasure were enough to blow away all the hardships they had ever faced .
While Haruna was checking for magical traps and defusing them, Nide was scouting around .
“Fortunately, it’s confirmed that there are no draconic warriors inside the lair . ”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes . We caused quite a commotion moments ago, but we weren’t caught because the draconic warriors weren’t here . Though, we can’t be too unguarded . By the footprint tracks on the floor, it seems that they go on patrol . ”
Weed was gaining back more of his senses as he heard about the dragon soldiers .
“I was born for this . ”
“Pardon?”
“No . It’s nothing… We don’t know how much time we have in our hands, so let’s grab as much as we can!”
As soon as Weed spoke, the dwarves began moving swiftly .
They expanded the passage connected to the mine and moved the stone debris out of the way so they wouldn’t make a sound .
They had already changed their boots into quiet fur shoes .
The dragon wasn’t present, but the robbery had to be secretive and quick nonetheless .
There was a big ruckus when they just got inside the lair, but the plan soon went underway .
The dwarves came with the wagons and stacked the treasure, Haruna dispelled and confirmed they were free of traps .
“Move, move . ”
“Careful not to get in the way of each other . ”
The dwarven users were well-prepared for this day .
Weed set out requirements for entering the dragon’s lair, and they took training on how to move cargo like they do in postal services and moving companies .
At least 10 hours of moving, organizing goods were mandatory tasks .
The difference between the experienced and the unexperienced was huge . Doing a task that was done before allowed the time to be used more efficiently .
“Please be as quiet as you can, and prepare the follow-up groups . ”
“Copy that, Weed-nim . ”
Dwarves paid full attention in following orders .
They too knew the importance of this moment .
Equipment in the range of level 500 ~ 600 were so common in the lair that they were being kicked around on the floor .
Some items were legendary equipment that could only be worn from level 800 ~ 1000 .
“Geez… The pieces of Bulen Set’s Armor are all here . ”
“There is even the Sword of Patia . Lord, this is special . It has 13 properties on it . ”
“Take it . Take it all . ”
The dwarves quickly loaded the items on the wagons and began to transport .
The dwarves were promised 20% of the share if the robbery were to succeed .
Stealing as much as they could meant that their share became larger . .
The treasures in the common room of the lair were disappearing gradually .
“I can see magic books too . Even combat type books . ”
“Grab them already . ”
Haruna found rare magic books and even got to the ancient documents .
Certain skills and magic could only be found in the dragon’s lair .
The ultimate magic spells of fire, water, wind and earth were priceless .
Golden and silver bars were taken first, pearls were discarded at first .
‘Things are going swell overall . Though, it could be faster . ’
Weed observed the flourishing treasure being moved carefully in the hands of the dwarves .
‘For the quest, I must find the Brazier of Sacrifice . ’
He was blinded by the treasure, but finding the brazier was crucial .
‘There’s nothing worse than coming all this way only to leave without the brazier . If the mine is plugged up, I can’t try this quest again…’
The dwarven race quest .
The race quest also traced back to the destiny of dwarves, so it had to be completed when he had the chance .
‘I need to find the brazier…’
The scene of treasures being loaded onto the wagons came into his view .
‘Treasure . Oh . Spectacular treasure!’
The treasures kept distracting his sight!
The Brazier of Sacrifice was challenging to find in the middle of the valleys of treasure .
His sight instinctively was taken away to the dazzling treasure .
Meanwhile, a sword without any decoration drew his eyes for some reason .
‘I am tempted . It doesn’t look anything special, but it feels like a highly branded item . ’
Weed requested Haruna to release the magic surrounding the sword .
“Identify!”
Nameless Sword: Durability 87/200 . Attack damage 151~214 .
A sword crafted by a dwarven blacksmith who concealed himself .
“The best sword must be able to cut through anything . Inside such a sword must be the soul of the metal . ”
The blacksmith devoted his affection to the metal .
He embraced it in his sleep each night and refined it every day, creating the most outstanding metal in the world .
“I will hammer you into the best sword . ”
The blacksmith spent three years with the metal, fire and the anvil .
When the sword was finally complete, he shed tears .
“Poured with the soul of metal, the unstoppable sword is born . ”
The sword was unattended for a long time, but if the blade is sharpened, it will return to its original form .

“Wow… That’s an incredible sword . ”
Such a splendid sword that even adventurer Haruna was amazed .
The Loa Sword was excellent and this sword was surely an equivalent . What’s more, was that it was not even showing its full ability due to the damage .
“I’d expect nothing less from Weed-nim . This looks better than any other equipment in this lair . You have the insight . ”
Haruna tried starting a conversation and Weed’s glare became hostile .
“Hurry up and defuse those magic traps . ”
“… Alright . ”
Weed sent Haruna and stealthily reached over .
*Swish!*
He was idle, but his hands grabbed it on their own .
< You have obtained the Nameless Sword .
Once the sword is repaired and its consciousness is complete, it may be named . >
“Awesome . ”
It was a heart-warming and rewarding identification!
He felt content like he reached the mature date of his 3-year installment savings .
– Are you the one who woke me up from my long sleep?
You are yet unworthy of wielding me .
The consciousness inside the sword spoke to him in a majestic tone .
“I’m busy right now, so go back to sleep . ”
Weed didn’t have time to spare at the moment, so he wrapped the sword on his back .
“Weed-nim . There is a sculpture over here that you made . ”
“Sculpture?”
