Emerging from Calvin's blacksmith shop, the weapons Bartlett wore on his waist were still the two Rune Swords, 'Pain' and 'Despair'.
There was no other choice. The Storm Dwarf said that creating new weapons would take roughly a month's time in the Prime Material Plane, so Bartlett could only leave materials such as the dragon's teeth, tail, crystal bone fragments, the tail of the Purple Insect, and the tail of the Scorpion-tailed Lion, which might be needed, at Calvin's blacksmith shop for future use.

Meanwhile, in the boundless land of the Realm of Darkness, a sizable battle of considerable scale was blazing fiercely.
