Chapter 512 The Raid Begins (VII): Deeper Into The Underground
This is the Galatine?! The f*ck is this thing doing here? I never knew that an item like this would be found just so nonchalantly!
"Your Majesties! Perhaps you guys would like to see this!"
When the two queens heard my voice, they immediately went to my location. The others were also curious so they also approached too.
p "Huh? What is the ruckus all about, Bladeheart?" Queen Tanya tilted her head.
"It seems I accidentally found one of the relics you guys are looking for," I said and pointed at the sword.
"This sword you mean?" Queen Tanya was about to touch it when I stopped her.
"Wait, your Majesty. Before you touch this, I will be warning you that this weapon currently damages anyone who feels it. It burns those who it deems as untrustworthy. Take a look at my glove after I grab the handle. Anyone who grabs a weapon that is not chosen by the weapon will be burned like this. Now, if you still wanted to touch it, you are welcome to try doing so."
"Hmmm," Queen Tanya touches the handle of the Galatine, and the moment she did, smoke came out from her fingertips and before she can fully grab it, she retracted her fingers away from the sword.
"I didn't know one of the weapons that King Arthur had is like this. It is similar to a cursed weapon huh?" Queen Tori rubbed her chin after seeing what it can do.
When the others saw the effects even on Queen Tanya, they immediately backed off without hesitation. It seems they decided not to approach it for the sake of not getting burned from it.
"So what weapon is this?" Queen Tanya asked.
"The sword that Sir Gawain once used in the past, the Galatine."
"Oh, the weapon that is said to be made from the fragment of the sun and was capable of replicating the heat of the sun when used?"
"Yeah, that one. This weapon is indeed the one you are talking about."
"I see. This means this is also counted as part of the relics of King Arthur. According to the records, the owner of this weapon is now King Arthur as Sir Gawain handed the ownership of the weapon to him. It was a reasonable reason why this was here. If King Arthur scattered his treasures in this underground, that only means, the other weapons are also here." Queen Tori scratches her head.
"Indeed. The Galatine is fine since it already has a restriction plus we found it but the others have no such restrictions similar to the Galatine which is going to be dangerous if all of them is a monsters. Especially the Secace and Arondnight. The swords of Sir Lancelot are two of the weapons that are dangerous to be held by anyone and I hope that those weapons are just lying in a safe and a place that is not easy to access by normal means like a treasure room since a normal mob taking them would definitely cause dangerous things and mayhem and chaos would occur in the process."
"So what are we gonna do about it? Even Bladeheart can't lug it around, and the others don't seem adamant about touching this one either. We can't just leave this thing alone," Queen Tanya scratches her head.
"I already prepared an item that can handle the power of the Galatine. Although I planned on using it on a cursed relic that we came across, this one can be considered as one if it harms anyone around us. Unless there is a proper human who can touch it without getting injured then that would be the more optimal thing," Queen Tori then pulls out a small orb made of metal. You can even mistake it for a crystal ball due to how shiny the ball was.
"What is that?" I pointed to the ball that Queen Tori pulled out.
"Magical Storage Ball. It's a storage space that will prevent any kind of effects from activating especially on items that are cursed. Since the activation of the Galatine works similar to how a piece of normal cursed equipment does things, it is perfect storage for the sword to stop it from burning anything that tries to take a good hold of it.
"You are still carrying that thing around huh?" Queen Tanya chuckled.
"Hahaha, of course. This is the first portable storage item that I acquired, it has a special place in my heart already so this thing does not leave my side most of the time!"
After that, Queen Tori channeled her ability to activate the metallic ball before she bumps it into the Galatine sword which in turn, disappear as it got sucked inside the ball.

"Alright, it is time to collect the remaining rewards before calling the soldiers inside to continue the journey."
Although the boss has been defeated, I am now confused as to why the Galatine sword is stuck on the head of the guy. It's not like it was there ever since the very beginning since it was clear that even the dragon was hurting from it and to make sure its health does not deplete, it petrified itself just to avoid dying from it. Someone intentionally put that sword there.
Perhaps, the person who used the Carnwennan and sealed the Pendragon and the one responsible for putting the sword into the head of the dragon is the same person. Perhaps, it was King Arthur himself but until we know the truth, we won't know who put it there.
Once the items were claimed by the others, they tasked me to check the doors ahead while the two queens return to the previous door to let the others in. Sigma and Harmless Sparrow accompanied me to the door as they also wanted to scout ahead.
"Do you think we will enter the dungeon if we continue through this door?" Harmless Sparrow asked Sigma.
"Possible. We don't know the main layout of this place and from the testimonies of Bladeheart on the underground, it seems to be not connected to the underground he was in before which means this is another space where the same underground that Bladeheart explored before has the same area. I won't even be surprised if this place is connected to where he was before," Sigma answered.
I continue to listen to their talks while I inspected the door for any traps that might activate once the door is open. The design of the door is identical to the other underground structures that I found before. Although there are slight differences, it seems they are indeed coming from the same place.
Since there are no traps, I opened the door and a cold and chilly wind blows into my body. Despite wearing a mask, I can feel the cold air seeping through my cheeks and my body immediately remembers the coldness that the previous underground offered. Not only that, but the one who keeps on staring at me seems to have returned as well.
