Flames still blazing bright but its flames seem to not faze Cath Palug. He even sat on its hilt even though its releasing flames in its blade. The flames tried to even swallow up Cath Palug but he just used them to massage his body.

"Eh, this flames is quite good doing some massage. Not as great as the big man and the maid but still better than nothing."

"Oi, you bastard. I didn't send you there to experience a fricking massage. Remove the chains and be done with it." I demanded.

"Ugh... what a killjoy. Alright, alright, fine take the sword."

Cath Palug swings his small arms into the chains and in just a few pats, the chains crumbled and the sword fell to the ground, extinguishing all of its flames. The Galatine that has its flames raging before has finally stopped its rampage and turned into a normal sword. Still, the sword is hot so I didn't immediately touch it and poured some water on it.

But it seems I underestimated the flames of the Galatine as the water that I poured into the blade immediately evaporates and leaves with the same hot sword on the floor. Since bottled water didn't work, I decided to use my magic spells instead.

"[Bubble]."

Encasing the Galatine with the skill, [Bubble], makes the blade submerged in water.

KSSSHHHHHHHHH!

The water is still evaporating inside but I made sure to add more water inside the bubble, allowing the sword to continue to be submerged to it until the very end. Thankfully, it didn't take long enough for the sword to cool itself down. Once it does, the sword is finally possible for me to hold now without injuring my hands.

[Cursed Galatine]

Type: Item

Information: Because the flames were extinguished, the Galatine has reverted from its useless self. Although it is a sword, it's very dull and useless right now it is more of a blunt object than a sword and even if it is a blunt weapon, it pales in comparison to a normal stick snapped on a tree branch. Perhaps the Lady of the Lake will have an idea of how to restore this thing to its former glory.

I was surprised to see the result. So the item was not even something I can use immediately huh? That's something I didn't expect but seeing it in front of me is kinda sad since the weapon is a clear Heroic Tier weapon and yet it's associated as a "useless" thing. Though it pisses me off after knowing this.

If Cath Palug didn't help me with it, I would have injured myself or perhaps burned myself just to take a weapon that still needed to be reforged. I think it was not bad, but seeing the first result is sad as I was expecting I can immediately swing it around and use its flames without a problem.

"Oi, what's the problem, it seems you have a big problem with the weapon in your hands now. Aren't you supposed to be happy?" Cath Palug scratches his chin with his leg before tilting his head as he stares at the Galatine.

"It's a scrap metal at the moment. Until I go back and check the real status of this weapon to the Lady of the lake, this thing is useless for me."

"Damn, tough luck kid. But I guess it doesn't matter, I think your old weapon is still superior, to be honest, and I can see you feeding that sword to your weapon anyways so it's not my problem. If that is useless then throw it in your inventory and we should leave. We needed to fight those things as soon as possible. You promised, you better believe I won't be happy if you don't fulfill it."

"Yes, yes, I hear you."

Since the sword was something I can't use at all at the moment, I have to put it in my inventory for now. We went around for a bit one last time but since there was nothing left for us to check, we left the place. It sucks since I thought there will be other stuff left for me to discover that has been hidden here but it seems I was wrong and the only thing that was worth noting there is just the Galatine. No secrets and no other stuff. It seems the only treasure here is just the Galatine plus the monsters walking around here. Nothing else. It sucks.

Before we go back to that area, I checked the map in case there is more places to explore but it seems we are done now. The place is fully mapped and good to go. But I also ended up raiding the whole place, making this place totally bare for anyone. Unless the monsters revive again, then there will be something for the players who will be exploring the place to have something they can go busy on.

When we backtracked, we found a few monsters but we easily made work with them and they immediately die. Nothing worthy to mention.

"Good, we are back. Now, let's start the slaughter. Do it now, people," Cath Palug happily sat on my head like it is enjoying the view.

I sighed but Cath Palug will still see the battle, so it doesn't matter much to me whether I should be disappointed in him or just pretend he does not exist. Doesn't matter much. What matters is if we can efficiently destroy the monsters in one fell swoop. I thought about something for a moment before I thought of a strategy.

"Tina, cast [Deep Sleep Powder] on them, Lina, can you cast [Deafening Noise] on me?"

"I can do that," Lina nodded and snapped her fingers and touched my forehead, allowing me to receive the buff, [Deafening Noise]  a skill that reduces all the noises I make to zero. It's an exclusive skill to Lina so I don't have access to it which sucks since this skill is pretty good for sneaking but thankfully, it's a shareable skill so I think it is fine.

Tina releases the [Deep Sleep Powder] to the enemies, sending them deeper into their dreams to ensure that they don't wake up even if we are there for quite some time.

All of the preparations for the battle are complete. The next thing I did is grab the Blueprint, which is the skill of the Saboteur class. A skill I barely use nowadays, but now it's back in action once more.

"It's time to blow them all up."
