Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 149

Episode 149

Immediately after the giant centipede was defeated, a fierce battle between Centipede Knight and Galletto ensued.

The tricky thing about Centipede Night is its super regeneration.

However, Centipede Knight, who had lost his super regenerative abilities due to Dio, was slowly being pushed back by Galetto’s fist.

bang!

Galletto’s fist and the Centipede Knight’s halberd collide. As if

Galeto

‘s ignorant power was shining, cracks slowly began to appear on the blood-stained halberd.

“The match is my victory!”

This is the moment when Galletto, sensing victory, excitedly raises his fist.

“What happened all of a sudden…!”

Galeto can withstand any attack with his bare body.

However, I felt scared by the tremendous force coming from behind and instinctively avoided it.

Boom! Wedge!

A spear passes by Galeto, making a thunderous sound.

The spear pierced straight through the Centipede Knight’s head.

Poseok-!

No, it wasn’t just about piercing it.

Does the powerful power within the spear spread from the pierced head?

The power of the sun began to condense throughout the Centipede Knight’s body, soon creating a massive explosion.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

With a patter, the remains of the Centipede Knight splashed towards Galetto.

Galletto, who was quite startled by the scene that suddenly unfolded, looked back and sighed.

And I could see it.

Dio, the owner of the spear that killed the Centipede Knight with one blow.

“I think I won the match?”

* * *

“This is invalid! again!”

“He’s dead, what can I do again?”

Dio moved slowly, ignoring Galletto who was fussing.

Dio was able to gain a lot of experience thanks to this, even though he consumed a unique grade spear strengthened with the blessing of the sun and enchantment.

It couldn’t have been a very satisfying battle for him.

As Galletto could not accept the match and took unexpected action, Dio quickly joined Prian.

Prian watched Dio’s battle despite the thick fog.

This was possible because the giant centipede generated wind every time it moved, ensuring visibility.

Anyway, Prian easily won and welcomed Dio back.

“Good job.”

“It was no big deal. “What happened to the others?”

Hwaak –

Dio asked Prian, but instead of his answer, a strong wind answered Dio’s question.

Aldur’s wind magic has the power of Circle 8 in proportion to the power he has.

A strong wind began to rise around where Dio and Prian were, and the surrounding field of view also became clearer.

“We’ve just finished it too.”

Aldur and Elaine appeared through the cleared fog.

Behind them, like a hedgehog, there was a body that had been turned into a field of arrows and was completely charred without a trace.

The two corpses were the gatekeeper and the wizard.

‘My experience was a waste.’

Dio just lost his appetite because he couldn’t get the experience points.

But greed brings anger.

I was satisfied with this as I had leveled up significantly just by dealing with the Centipede Knight.

‘You went up to level 8 in an instant. By the way, those two are definitely stronger than Galletto.’

Of the three Deathcruisers, the Centipede Knight was the most difficult, but thanks to Dio and Galletto working together, they were able to deal with it quickly.

However, Aldur and Elaine finished in a similar time frame to Dio, even though they each faced the trio alone.

‘Is it natural that Galletto is evaluated as the weakest among the five swords?’

NPCs who have reached transcendence have attracted a lot of interest from users with their mere existence.

According to the experience of the deceased, Galeto was barely able to hold the position of five swords within the Luna Church.

Of course, now that there is no Sigmund, who will be in the position of ‘judge’, Galetto’s ranking may have risen by one level, but it is not that important.

Because it doesn’t change the fact that Aldur and Elaine are stronger than Galeto.

Dio spoke to Aldur, who was catching his breath after killing the wizard.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“It was no big deal. You don’t have any injuries either. “He didn’t seem like an easy opponent.”

“Didn’t I fight alongside you, Galetto?”

Dio, who responded to Aldur’s words, pointed to Galletto, who was still grumbling because he was not satisfied with the victory.

“Sheesh, I could have finished it.”

“Hehe, it looks like you’re quite upset.”

Aldur took one look at Galletto, who was showing off his anger, and continued speaking with an inexplicable smile.

“It looks like the battle is over, so let’s get out of here quickly. “There are limits to the ability to blow away fog with my wind magic.”

Aldur said that there is a limit to neutralizing sleeping gas with wind magic.

As soon as Aldur’s words left his mouth, the surrounding area was once again covered in fog.

That’s why Aldur urged everyone.

But…

“Wait a moment. “Our work here is not done yet.”

Now is the time for the old character’s strategy to shine.

Dio began to look around the foggy surroundings due to Eternal Rest.

“After everything has been taken care of, what are we waiting for? The effect of the potion is not long left. If you’re not careful…”

“Dio!”

A voice calling Dio’s name rang out, cutting off Aldur’s words.

Dio, the five swords, and Prince Prian, who were gathered in one place, focused their attention on the owner of the voice.

The people who appeared through the thick fog were none other than Sepia and Roberto.

“I found it.”

People who didn’t know the situation were confused by Roberto’s report, but Dio was different.

“Prince Prian. Gather all your troops. From now on we will move through the underground.”

* * *

Is it because most of the Allied forces remaining in the Demonic Region are made up of veterans?

Even in a battlefield where visibility was limited due to Eternal Rest, it did not take long for the scattered soldiers and knight mercenaries to come together.

Those who knew how to use magic, including Aldur, temporarily cleared the fog and the allied forces gathered in front of the huge cave that Roberto had found.

“Prince. “Everything is ready.”

The imperial commander announced that the Allied forces were ready.

“I understand.”

Prince Prian nodded to the commander and looked at Dio next to him.

“You mean we have to pass by here?”

“yes. This is a burrow dug by a giant centipede. “The fact that a large centipede is quickly deployed to the battlefield means that Deathrugger is nearby.”

“Hmm… That makes sense, but it seems dangerous. “It won’t collapse, right?”

“Don’t worry. The passageway created by the centipede is also used by Deathrugger to move his demonic beasts. “He must have taken measures to prevent the ground from collapsing even if he did not want to bury his subordinates alive.”

Prian was briefly impressed by Dio’s explanation.

Dio’s decision was to analyze the opponent’s power and take advantage of their advantage.

He wondered if something like this was included in Solari’s revelation, but he thought to himself that it couldn’t be so.

A trust only tells the destination, and the ability to resolve matters is solely up to the person who received the trust.

Prian believed in Dio’s ability to solve the problem and immediately gave the order.

Although the tunnel dug by the centipede was very large, it was not large enough for five hundred allied forces to enter at once.

“Enter in line!”

Prion quickly grasped the geographical characteristics and issued commands accordingly, and the troops in formation began to quickly enter the cave.

The Allied forces moved skillfully through the tunnels, but soon their speed slowed down significantly in the darkened space.

“It’s getting darker. “I think we should turn on the lights.”

“it’s okay. As the cave is wide, the light from the ground will illuminate the way ahead. Rather, dark adaptation can only speed things up.”

After speaking to Prion, Dio immediately raised his fist to signal a stop, and the Allied forces stopped moving.

“stop! From now on, slow down a little and adapt to the darkness!”

After Dio’s order was given, the Allied Forces began to reorganize and quickly adapt to the darkness.

After about 10 minutes, Dio decided that this was enough and gave the order to speed up again.

The centipede’s tunnel was very winding and like a maze.

Moreover, the centipede’s path was not just straight.

Because there were uphill and downhill slopes, simply moving around was quite difficult.

Nevertheless, Dio knew that this route was much safer and faster than heading to the ground.

“Let’s speed things up a little more. Sleeping gas has not been completely avoided. “If we delay here, gas will fill this place as well through the polluted land.”

Just because going through the tunnel is safer than going through the Eternal Rest head on doesn’t mean it’s really safe.

Moreover, what awaits the Allied Forces, who have just broken through the halfway point, is the end of the dark zone called the ‘Dark Zone’.

It is a place where powerful monsters are naturally created under the influence of demonic energy deep within the demon realm.

Dio chose the current route because the Allied Forces moving through the tunnels would gain an advantage just by moving to avoid them.

It would have been nice to gain experience points if I had caught them all.

However, not only did Dio not come alone, but he had to time it well.

“Speed up!”

Prian’s order quickly spread to the Allied forces, and the soldiers in the advance guard also began to speed up even more.

“There is a downhill road ahead. “It looks quite deep.”

Agram, who had bright eyes at night, reported to Prian.

‘It’s almost now.’

Dio, who was listening from the side, had a hunch that he had reached the end of the centipede’s den.

The very steep downhill slope marks the inflection point of the centipede’s den.

According to Dio’s experience, the steep uphill road that follows this downhill road is probably the starting point of the centipede’s den.

* * *

As Dio expected, the Allied Forces went down the slope carefully to avoid slipping, and encountered an uphill road that was almost like a cliff.

“The slope is steeper than I thought?”

“There will be no problem in increasing each individual’s ability, but everyone is exhausted.”

The Allied forces were not able to climb up the hill quickly.

After finishing the battle at Eternal Rest and passing through the Centipede Den without any rest, the Allied Forces were depleted of a lot of their stamina.

Although the number of allied forces was reduced, the number of 500 troops was by no means a small number.

Since a march of this scale was considered unreasonable, it was inevitable that even members of the so-called elite would exert themselves.

“I don’t know what will be waiting for me when I get to the ground, so isn’t it dangerous to push ahead like this?”

“okay. However, it is not possible to recover your stamina here.”

Dio was lost in thought for a moment at Prion’s words.

Some Eternal Rest are spread out inside the cave.

The remaining time for the potion is about 30 minutes.

Here, if five hundred or a large army cannot climb this steep cliff, they will fall asleep.

If that happens, fatal damage to the troops is certain.

This is not unexpected, but it would be a problem if a fight breaks out as soon as you go to the ground.

‘There is a 50/50 chance that there are demonic beasts camped in front of the cave. I don’t mind, but I don’t know if the soldiers will be okay.’

If you look at the soldiers’ strength alone, they were easy enough to deal with, but after climbing the cliff, it won’t be easy due to your physical strength.

Dio thought as he looked up at the endless cliffs.

It was so high that no obvious hole in the ground was visible, and only the upward airflow indicated that there was an exit on the ground.

“You look like you’re in a lot of trouble.”

Dio was lost in thought for a while when someone’s voice woke him up.

“Everyone is very tired. “Right now, I wouldn’t have the power to notice anything that happens.”

As Aldur spoke meaningful words, Dio looked at him.

Dio is now separated from everyone and investigating the cliff in front of him.

Dio sensed that Aldur was acting strangely, but without showing it, he opened his mouth.

“what do you mean?”

“Besides, it’s this dark. If someone’s going to do something, don’t you think now would be a good time?”

Aldur does not answer Dio’s questions and only speaks on his own.

Now the distance to the other person is very close.

All of Dio’s nerves were focused on Aldur.

Did you notice this?

Before Dio could react, Aldur’s arm was stretched out.
