Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 125
Episode 125,
Over the Fantasy, the story about the Demon King cannot be left out.
However, surprisingly, for players who enjoy the order version, the level of difficulty of the devil’s game was not that severe…
This is because very few users reached the final scenario in which the devil appeared.
Let alone the Demon King himself, the players are eliminated from the Demon King’s executives and subordinates.
However, regardless of the player’s perception, the scenario played by Dio involves an inevitable battle with the devil and his minions.
In other words, the story of the Order version scenario centers around the resurrection of the Demon King.
Demon King and Demon Man.
A demon king who was said to have been sealed by the gods a thousand years ago.
And among the evil forces that dream of the devil’s resurrection, there are beings called devils.
As time passes and the Demon King’s seal weakens, the demonic energy emitted from him affects the entire continent.
The fertile lands become barren one by one, and the creatures living in the land polluted with demonic energy are also eroded by darkness one by one.
Animals and plants contaminated in this way become demons and humans become demons.
Players leveled up by defeating such demons, but they could never prevent the seal.
This is because the ‘final chapter’ of the Order is when the Demon King’s seal is released.
And the direction that the Order Board gives to the player is to completely destroy the Demon King in the final chapter.
Demons that are recognized as monsters by players exist in various forms.
Vampire, witch, werewolf….
These were all humans originally, and can be seen as newly created monsters due to demonization.
Of course, now Dio has learned that among these are the cursed sun religions.
So when Dio encounters other demons, he first needs to find out whether they are followers of the demon king or believers of the cursed sun.
But I can assure you that Lennon is by no means a believer in the sun.
Because Dio knew that he was a person who was put on the path of Majin by Acrich ‘Death Kruger’, one of the Pentacles.
Descruger.
There is no possibility that he is a seven star like Calliope or Crassus.
If it were the Protestant Church of the Sun, it would not massacre innocent human beings and sacrifice them to the devil in the near future.
Deathrugger is the host of ‘Majinization’, which turns people into ‘Majin’ by tainting them with evil in return for giving them strength.
The evil humans who have been turned into demons by him are controlled by their minds and become monsters that do not hesitate to do things that ordinary humans cannot do.
Just like Lennon in front of Dio right now.
* * *
Hwaaaah! Chachaechaeng!
Dio fought back Lennon’s fierce sword attack with difficulty.
The momentum is completely different from the first time.
Despite the fierce attacks, Lennon did not lose his breath even once.
“Is something a little strange?”
“Aren’t you going to die like that?”
Did the audience also feel the ferocity that Lennon exuded?
When Lennon’s sword roughly grazed the spot where Dio had bowed his head, people were heartbroken at the dizzying sight.
“Huh!”
“Isn’t that dangerous?”
Despite the crowd’s whispers, Lennon’s attack showed no signs of stopping.
His attacks became more intense and dangerous.
‘I totally enjoyed it.’
Dio deflected Lennon’s stab and looked into the guy’s red eyes.
The characteristic of demonization is that the broken magic stone absorbs the dark hearts inherent in the host and then amplifies them.
Just like the Lennon in front of you.
An attack aimed solely at killing.
Dio then realized that Lennon was using the last move.
This was one of the reasons why Dio had to deal with Lennon in person.
The solution to this problem is something that only D.O. can do.
Exactly one year since Lennon ascended to the position of head of the family.
In just one year, the Bertio ducal family, which had a long history, fell.
This was caused by a combination of various negative factors, and there are three major ones.
The first is the sudden death of Dalimus, the previous head of the family.
The second is the chamberlain who coveted Bertio’s property.
And the third and final one was the change of Lennon, who took over.
Before becoming the head of the family, Lennon was by no means incompetent.
He likes alcohol and women, ignores those below him and only respects his own authority, but that doesn’t mean he’s unsuited to the position of monarch.
Rather, it fits the general image of nobles.
Lennon is a practical and politically knowledgeable person.
Because he inherited the blood of a lion, he had excellent swordsmanship and was proud of his family.
Although they may covet what belongs to others, they never hand over what is theirs to others.
That was Lennon, and in front of Lennon, a chamberlain who embezzled the family’s wealth would never be safe.
However, Lennon pretended not to notice the chamberlain’s profiteering.
This was evidence that there had been a change in Lennon’s psychological factors, and the reason was none other than being dominated by demonization.
‘As expected, we contacted each other even before he became the head of the family.’
Players playing the Eastern scenario were suspicious of Lennon’s whereabouts and conducted an investigation into him.
As a result, Lennon was able to understand that he had been eroded by Descruger and that he had neglected the downfall of his family.
‘Considering the timing, this would have been possible if it had been eroded by demonization before the rise of the family head. ‘Because Lennon’s achievements as the head of the family are nothing.’
Through the scenario of the order board that he knew, Dio was able to infer to some extent the point in time when Lennon began to be influenced by mine painting.
That point would be before Ates ran away from home.
The way for Lennon to solidify his position as the next head of the family is through talent, including force.
Mine conversion does not proceed immediately.
It slowly seeps into others without them noticing, making them think that it is entirely their own power.
Because of this, Dalimus may not have noticed it until now.
‘And now it looks like he’s taken it too far.’
There are also physical ways to accelerate demonization through drug administration or magic rituals.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to generate explosive power like this now.
It seemed like they had already made a deal with Descruger’s emissary to buy items that would accelerate demonization.
‘Then…’
The board was already prepared.
Now all Dio has to do is reveal to everyone the sinister power lurking within Lennon’s body.
* * *
Quagwagwagwang!
Lennon’s lowered sword made a dent in the floor.
Even with Bertio’s swordsmanship, this level of destructive power would have been strange, but the audience mistakenly thought it was just Lennon showing off his skills.
“No matter how you look at it, isn’t it dangerous?”
“I’m sure the eldest son has thoughts too. “That mercenary seems to be responding well, so isn’t he putting forth his best effort?”
“indeed! “Is this huge?”
The more exciting game made the audience sweat.
This was possible because they did not know that this was a matter of life and death.
Dio, who has so far been able to block Lennon’s attacks without difficulty, also begins to retreat more and more as time passes.
From the perspective of others, I thought it was only a matter of time before D.O. was put on the defensive.
Of course, I wasn’t a party.
Quang!
Lennon’s sword once again struck the floor where Dio was standing.
The floor completely collapsed and debris flew in all directions, heading towards Dio, who had dodged Lennon’s attack.
“die!”
The gap created by Dio as he removes the debris.
Lennon, who could not miss the opportunity, swung his sword with the intention of cutting the opponent in two.
Lennon sensed victory when he saw Dio quickly raise his iron sword to block his attack.
There was no way he could block his attack with that puny iron sword.
Because the opponent also knows this, isn’t he in a hurry to evade his attack instead of blocking it?
But Lennon saw.
Just by looking at his iron sword, a holy light is emanating from it.
“What?”
To others, it is just a brilliant and sacred light.
But not for Lennon.
The remnants of the devil within Lennon’s body abhorred that light, and Lennon also experienced unpleasant emotions that twisted his entire body.
‘This is dangerous!’
Lennon sensed danger, but it was already too late.
My own sword was swung by that guy.
I was swallowed up by that dazzling light.
Clang!
* * *
“Is this okay?”
Dio smiled as he looked at the iron sword imbued with the attribute of [Graceful All-Purpose Jade].
The power of magic used by Lennon.
The fact that light and darkness are polar opposites is a fact that Dio, a member of the Order Board, takes for granted.
Dio gave the iron sword divine power using the special ability of the all-powerful jade.
Not with Luna’s light, but with the power of the sun.
“I think I won the game.”
Dio grinned as he looked at Lennon’s broken sword.
Lennon seemed to be having a hard time accepting this situation as it was, making a dumb expression as if his soul had disappeared and then shouted.
“Yes you bastard! “Where are you cheating?”
However, the audience remained silent to his cries.
Some people thought it was sword energy, some felt it was divine power, and some people figured out that it was not divine power, but an alien power of a type they had never seen before.
While everyone was dazed for a while, trying to organize their thoughts, Lennon, embarrassed by their silence, pointed his finger at Dio.
“Look everyone! “The power this guy uses is not sword energy!”
Lennon tried to make up for his defeat somehow.
The divine power used by Dio.
However, it was different from the Holy Power of the Luna Church.
Lennon dug into it and continued to open his mouth to turn the situation in his favor.
“That alien power that imitates divine power! The author is clearly a heretic! What are the soldiers doing? Arrest that man!”
When Lennon shouted, the crowd finally came to their senses and began to murmur, and Dalimus, who was watching, also got up from his seat.
bang!
As Dio slammed the iron sword he was holding into the ground, the noisy hall fell silent for a moment.
Dalimus, who was watching this, also raised his hand and stopped the guards who were confused as to whether they should listen to Lennon’s orders.
Everyone in the audience paid attention to Dio.
Dio, who caught people’s attention at a glance, smiled and took out something from his pocket.
“what? “What about that dirty cloth?”
“What is that mercenary holding?”
“How is this going?”
“Heresy?”
Dio, leaving behind the noisy crowd again, this time took out a mysterious jewel in the shape of a water drop.
He then placed the jewel on the piece of cloth he had taken out earlier, and the two objects immediately began to interact.
Wooooung –
Black energy escaping from the fabric.
It was definitely demonic energy.
At this, the people’s murmur grew louder.
Those who do not know Magi are inauspicious, and those who know are Magi.
Among them, Lennon urgently shouted to the head of the family.
“We have to stop him!”
Despite Lennon’s cries as he sensed what was going to happen, Dio strengthened the hand holding the jewel.
Push!
Tears of moonlight that radiated a blue-silver color.
It was an instant before the beautiful jewel was shattered into pieces by Dio’s hands.
