And right after the notification popped up.
Kwaaang!!
The Fire Dwarf, which had seemed to stop, suddenly pulled back its hammer with all its strength and struck the anvil.
With a deafening boom, the hammer shattered into pieces, and fragments flew in every direction.
Su-ho suffered no damage.
By the time the notification appeared, Su-ho was still suspended in the air.
Flicker, flicker...
The debris scattered around was still ablaze.
The Fire Dwarf, after destroying its hammer, returned to its position and stood guard again.
Su-ho calmly landed on the ground.
He stood atop the scorching hot anvil surface he had finally reached.
And Su-ho saw it.
A small flame floating alone in the air where the shattered hammer had been.
Su-ho narrowed his eyes and observed it.
What is that?
To the naked eye, it just looked like an ordinary flame.
After a moment of hesitation, Su-ho extended his Blood Weapon, forming a tiny platform.
He stepped onto the Blood Weapon and approached the flame.
The orange flame, upon closer inspection, was encased in something like a transparent soap bubble.
When Su-ho touched it, the flame instantly wrapped around him and seeped into him.
[ You have acquired a Fragment of ???. ]
A fragment?
It wasn’t even properly labeled, probably because of a high security level.
It wasn’t particularly surprising.
This sometimes happened.
Especially with gates that had no level restrictions.
So Su-ho could smile.
‘Looks like there’s definitely something here.’
Right.
It ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) wasn't just anywhere—this was a Dwarf found in a 1-star gate.
There’s no way there wouldn’t be anything special.
Moreover, this flame fragment had never appeared even in the conquest data of his past life’s North Korea campaign.
Su-ho opened his inventory to find the flame fragment he had just obtained.
But the fragment wasn’t visible.
‘Since it’s not in the inventory, it must not be a physical item but some kind of qualification.’
If it had been a physical item, it would have been in his hand.
Thanks to that, he was sure of it.
He didn’t know exactly what it was yet, but at least he had confirmed the existence of a hidden piece.
Which meant he had to fully clear the remaining anvil gates too.
And do it with great joy.
With the corners of his mouth raised, Su-ho walked out of the gate portal.

And then.
Kwaaang!!
Another explosion.
