Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 148
Episode 148
The reason why Dio, who had been watching until now, came forward is simple.
This was because each of the five swords was fighting a tough opponent.
In this situation, it can be seen that there are no restrictions on Dio’s actions until the trio falls.
No matter how strong they are, they will not have the luxury of carrying out the mission given by the saint against the three Centipede Knight Horse-Headed Wizards.
For these reasons, Dio only relaxed after Aldur and Elaine entered battle.
Pot!
A centipede knight and a giant centipede have their full attention on Galeto.
Dio easily grabbed the guy from behind and swung his great sword strongly.
Suddenly!
Puhak!
“Keeeeeeek-!”
What Dio was aiming for was the leg of a giant centipede.
Dio’s great sword, made of all-purpose jade, easily cut off the centipede’s leg, causing a terrible liquid like scum to spread everywhere.
Boom!
The Centipede Knight’s halberd reacted immediately and swung.
The distance between the Centipede Knight and Dio was considerable, but he didn’t mind at all.
The slash coming from the tip of the halberd had enough power to threaten an opponent from afar.
Quagwagwagwang!
Dio quickly turned his body to avoid the slash and took his stance again.
“Hey, I have enough on my own.”
Is it because the Centipede Knight’s gaze was split in two?
Thanks to this, Galletto, who had some free time, approached Dio and opened his mouth.
“It seemed like it was taking quite a while.”
“under! “Get out of the way, I’ll finish this soon.”
Galletto, probably offended by the sarcasm in Dio’s words, put his fists together and stepped forward.
But Dio did not listen to Galletto.
The reason I entered the battle in the first place was because I didn’t want to lose my experience to Galletto.
“How about this? How about a competition to see who can get rid of that burnt knight first?”
“oh?”
Dio accurately understands Galletto’s personality.
For him, persuading Galletto was easier than a piece of cake.
“Hahaha! That would be really fun. It was great! “I’ll have his head!”
As expected, at the mention of a competition, Galetto’s eyes immediately lit up with a desire to win.
If Dio had entered the battle without this suggestion, it was clear that Galletto’s pride would have been hurt.
However, if the competition was used as an excuse, Galetto regarded it as entertainment and accepted it cheerfully.
It will be more difficult to steal the last blow from Galletto, who has stimulated his competitive spirit like this, but it doesn’t matter.
As long as there is a system for gaining experience points based on contribution even if he loses the match, the experience points Dio will gain will not be small.
It was a business that was unconditionally profitable.
‘Still, it would be better to strike the last blow if possible.’
The rule of the order board is that bonus experience points are given if you deal with the opponent directly.
In particular, the bonus experience gained from last hits increases as you deal with stronger monsters.
The opponent is Centipede Knight, one of the three men under Deathrugger.
As long as I hit the last blow, no matter how bad I was, I could go up about 5 levels from my current level.
Pot!
Dio followed Galletto ahead and kicked the ground.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Because the centipede is so large, just moving around makes it quite threatening.
It seemed easy to attack as the area was large, but that wasn’t always the case.
This is because the centipede’s carapace has a defense that cannot be penetrated by most attacks.
Empty!
Galeto’s attack, which surrounds the auror in its fist, fails to pierce the centipede’s carapace and bounces off.
Kagagak-!
Dio knows that the upper’s defense level is excellent.
So, unlike Galletto, I persistently aimed for the legs like I did the first time.
Suddenly!
“Kiiik!”
As each leg fell off one by one, the giant centipede screamed and writhed in pain.
Kwagwanggwang!
However, Dio constantly swung his great sword to avoid the rampaging centipedes.
Of course, since there were so many legs, it would take a long time to cut, but thanks to Dio’s skillful cutting, the centipede’s legs fell off.
There was a reason why Dio was so persistent in targeting centipedes.
It’s not just because those numerous legs are the centipede’s weak point.
‘The centipede must die first before it can hit the centipede knight.’
Dio has fought Centipede Knights more than once.
He remembered the strategy created by various people.
Among the abilities that the giant centipede has, the most difficult one is its super-regenerative ability.
This ability does not apply to centipedes.
This is an ability applied to a centipede knight with a combined soul. In fact, unless the centipede is defeated, the centipede knight is no different from having an immortal body.
“Just hold on! “I’m going to blow that guy’s head off!”
Galletto, unaware of this strategy, persistently targeted the centipede knight, not the centipede.
And Dio didn’t bother to tell him an efficient strategy.
‘The more Galleto behaves, the more my contribution will increase. ‘I’m good.’
Dio smiled to himself and faithfully carried out Galetto’s words.
Woe!
Dio’s slash, which draws out the power of the sun, is fired towards the centipede.
The opponent is a single entity, but what Dio is targeting is the centipede’s numerous legs.
So, he spread the sun’s power as wide as possible and hit the centipede’s body.
The carapace of the centipede that had been slashed was intact, but its legs were not.
“Keeeeeeek!”
As the centipede’s legs were immediately burned by Dio’s attack, the centipede’s terrible roar rang out, as if this attack proved to be a sufficient blow.
“die!”
Galletto shouted and kicked the ground.
The centipede knight’s posture is disturbed due to the centipede writhing in pain.
Galeto’s new model, which could not have missed this opportunity, disappears in an instant.
Faaah!
Galeto’s two fists, which flew high, began to be filled with intense electricity.
Galletto’s lightning strike shown when fighting Schuwald.
Let’s go!
Galetto’s fist hit the Centipede Knight’s blood-red helmet.
“haha! Got it….”
Galetto was confident that the attack worked properly due to the feeling of the hand coming from the fist.
Throwback –
A blood-red halberd that shakes off the electric current that still has an afterimage and swings.
Galletto, who was caught off guard, had no time to dodge the halberd and barely crossed his arms to block the Centipede Knight’s attack.
“Tsk!”
Quang!
At best, Galletto got right in front of the Centipede Knight, but was thrown to the ground again.
“Chwiiik-chwik!”
The centipede let out a threatening cry towards Galletto, which was hit hard.
I would already be dying from the pain of having my leg cut off, but it seemed like it wasn’t so annoying that it latched onto me like a fly.
‘Well, he probably didn’t die.’
Although the Centipede Knight’s attack was strong, Dio, who did not think that Galletto would be attacked to this extent, concentrated on what he was doing.
Thanks to Galeto’s attention to the Centipede Knight, Dio was able to remove a significant portion of the centipede’s legs.
But you shouldn’t give it time.
Although it was not as good as the super regeneration applied to the Centipede Knight, the recovery power of the centipede itself was very excellent.
‘The number of bridges removed is about 60%. If it’s this much…’
The defense power of the giant centipede’s carapace is proportional to the number of legs.
It is said that the defense power before the legs regenerate is reduced by 60%.
If you try too hard to remove the remaining legs and end up regenerating them, all you have done so far will be in vain.
So if you’re thinking of launching a big attack, now is the time.
“Eveline!”
At Dio’s signal, the magic of Evelyn, who was watching behind him, was activated.
Tsuzuzuzu –
The shadow armor created from Dio’s shadow covered Dio like when he was fighting Luave.
Dio felt his overall stats increase with the application of Shadow Armor.
Chuck –
Dio put the greatsword on his waist, and soon the greatsword made of all-purpose jade began to change once again.
The all-purpose jade that was recreated is a sword whose length reaches 2 meters.
And the posture he was preparing now was the posture for casting ‘Solar Strike’, which he had learned by awakening to the power of the sun.
Ping –
Dio, who had gathered the power of the sun, swung his arm without delay.
‘Light’ clearly exists even though thick fog covers the sky.
That hot power began to be absorbed into Dio’s body.
Kwagak-!
A blinding flash of light.
And the time that the shadow surrounding that flash stayed in the air was literally a moment.
After a shorter period of time than the eyelids blink once.
thud!
The centipede’s huge body was split exactly in half.
* * *
“Prince. “What can we do?”
“nothing. “Go get some beef jerky.”
Prion and Ates, who were watching the five swords and Dio’s activities, chewed beef jerky together and surveyed the situation.
Although he spoke lightly, Prion’s eyes did not miss Dio’s movements as he defeated the giant centipede monster.
‘To be overwhelming against such a monster. That’s amazing. ‘Do all transcendents have that level of power?’
Prian thought of Gunther, the empire’s strongest swordmaster.
I have never properly confirmed his true skills, but Gunther must have the same level of strength as them.
Gunther’s position was so great that it was said that as long as Gunther supported him in the battle for the successor, he would be the crown prince.
However, since Gunther is under the emperor’s direct control, he is not involved in the struggle for a successor.
So, the princes remembered the military presence by the emperor’s side and worked hard to scout other talented people.
Under these circumstances, it is perhaps natural that only Dio is visible to Prian.
‘If only such a strong person would stand by my side…’
It was Prian whose only goal was to successfully complete this expedition.
However, once I saw this incredibly talented person in front of me, I couldn’t help but become jealous.
There are a total of 5 people in the Allied Forces who are strong enough for Prince Prian to covet.
However, three of them were members of the Luna Church, so appeasement was virtually impossible, and one was a free mercenary king who did not like being affiliated.
In that case, there is only one person left….
‘It’s not just that I’m strong. I’m confident that I commanded the war to a certain extent, but…’
Prian had experience in commanding the army that suppressed a huge rebellion that occurred in the western region.
Because I achieved a great victory in the process, I was confident in my command.
however.
The overwhelming leadership demonstrated by Dio.
Ability to cope with crises.
Not only that, but his extensive knowledge of the magic world was even better than that of the magic tower owner, Aldur.
Prian did not feel jealous or inferior, but rather evaluated him as an all-rounder and coveted him.
‘Hmm…’
The prince looked at Ates, who was scribbling something next to him.
Did you say you keep a diary?
Although she appears to have some odd talents, Artes also had an incredible background as the next head of the Bertio family.
‘I didn’t pay much attention to the East because it was so isolated…’
Artes is also a talented person with useful military power and leadership skills.
Even though she is the next head of a successful ducal family, honestly, there are some aspects that are lacking for Prince Prian to be interested in.
Nevertheless, there is only one reason why Prian is interested in Artes.
This was because he had traveled with Dio for a long period of time.
‘You said we stopped the Ox invasion together. Since we went through life and death together, we must be strong.’
Even if I wasn’t necessarily acquainted with Dio, there was no harm in becoming acquainted with the next head of the Bertio family.
“Look here.”
“Yes, prince.”
At the prince’s call, Ates stopped writing.
Prian, who made a social smile towards Artes, opened his mouth.
“I’d like to get to know this friend named Dio in more detail.”
