Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 15
episode 15,
the equipment hidden behind Dio’s cloak was no longer the beginner’s set worn at level 10.
—————
[Salamander’s Light Armor]
Grade: Unique
Category: Armor
Level limit: 60
Defense: 58
2nd set effect: Fire attribute resistance 10
4th set effect: Fire attribute resistance 30
6 Set effect: Fire attribute resistance 150
—————
A truly unique set of armor.
If used appropriately for the situation in which it was stored in the warehouse, it was a training item with greater efficiency than most high-level equipment.
When I looked at each part rather than the set, it wasn’t so outstanding that I wondered if it deserved a unique rating.
‘But if you wear the whole set, it’s a different story.’
Currently, Dio was wearing all the equipment for each part.
Due to that effect, the fire attribute resistance had increased by 150.
In other words, Dio has gained a level of resistance that prevents him from taking any damage from his ‘Bow’ skill.
Pubububung! Kwaang-!
Dio ran wild across the field and ran wild to his heart’s content.
The place he passed was filled with dense monsters burning fiercely.
“An oversized monster invades the central square!”
Someone shouted among the guards who were closely enthralled by Dio’s performance.
-Coooooo!
“Ugh!”
“It’s charging!”
A huge bear breaks down the wall and breaks into the village.
It was an instant before the mercenaries, not the guards, found themselves in a standoff with the huge monster.
[Guillotine Bear/Named Monster/Lv.150]
Guillotine Bear. Commonly known as ‘guillotine’.
It has the appearance of a grizzly bear, but has a larger belly.
This guy was showing ferocity in tearing even the monsters that were in his way to pieces.
Monster waves also contain a small number of particularly dangerous entities.
Since they are ‘named monsters’ of a higher rank than regular monsters, they are something players should avoid at all costs.
Therefore, in the case of Evra Village, the guard captain and his elites generally have no choice but to deal with it.
But now he is here.
A class A mercenary recognized by the empire.
“Make a way! “I’ll leave this to Monte!”
The guards gave Dio a way back to the village and quickly set the stage for him.
“This kind of private meeting is not recommended.”
Dio chuckled and stepped forward.
Although he said this, he was planning to deal with strong monsters, including Guillotine, with his own hands.
Because the stronger you are, the more you can gain.
-Coooooo!
The mercenaries and the villagers confront the monsters that have entered the village, centered on the guillotine.
Seeing that, Dio increased his speed even more.
“Everyone get out of the way!”
At Dio’s shout, the mercenaries who were fighting the guillotine fled in haste.
Guillotine did not chase after the fleeing mercenaries, but raised both arms high against Dio, who fearlessly charged at him.
bang!
As the name suggests, it’s a claw that hits hard like a guillotine.
‘It’s obvious.’
Kwaang-!
Dio, who easily dodged the guillotine’s attack, walked around the guy and lightly patted his back.
-Coooooo!
Dio’s movements are much smoother and faster than the first time.
This was because Dio, who had already assumed a confrontation with Guillotine, invested in agility using the level points he had raised through the melee.
This is crazy multitasking that only a few people can do.
However, unlike other monsters, Guillotine, which is full of health, is difficult to inflict damage with ‘width’.
Moreover, its thick leather was resistant to most explosions.
However, Dio has already calculated how to ‘use’ him.
There is also a pattern to the attacks of guillotines that are wielded at random.
Dio, who knew this, dodged everything and lured the guy, it was a truly amazing move.
Sigh-! Suddenly!
Dio moved through the monsters while maintaining the exact distance to provoke the guillotine.
Guillotine chased after Dio, tearing apart the monsters that got in his way.
Monsters who were on the verge of death due to the blind paws of a powerful guillotine.
Of course, Dio completed them without missing a single one.
It seemed as if Dio and the guillotine chasing him worked together to fight the monsters.
Although Guillotine is stronger than other monsters, it is not a boss monster.
A counterattack by monsters that are not immune to the guillotine’s attack without identification.
Wounds big and small were accumulating on Guillotine.
‘Shall we try to figure out the timing?’
Dio looked at Guillotine, who looked exhausted, and widened his vision again.
Dio found a place where monsters were concentrated and made a mark on the floor.
He then took out an oil bottle from his inventory and threw it at the charging Guillotine.
Clink!
-Queez!
Guillotine, whose entire body was soaked in oil, paused for a moment.
“bye.”
“Chur?”
Dio said goodbye and used his remaining MP to activate [Explosion].
bang!
Bubble bubbung-!
The mark placed on the floor and the mark accumulated on Guillotine’s body in advance exploded in an instant, and the guy soared into the sky.
A biological bomb using the special effect knockback attached to [Width].
The guillotine, whose entire body was engulfed in flames, became a single cannonball and fell among the crowd of monsters.
And then a series of explosions follows.
Quagwagwagwang!
[The Guillotine Bear was defeated.]
[60112 experience points were obtained.]
[The Werewolf was defeated.]
[The Bug Reaper was defeated.]
.
.
[The level has risen.]
[The level has risen.]
“Explosions are art!”
-Waaaa!
The guards who were victorious at D.O.’s spectacular finale let out a roar.
The monsters that survived also gradually began to retreat.
This is not Dio who will just watch the fleeing monsters.
Dio hunts down the defeated monsters until the end with the intention of pulling him out until the end.
It was the moment when ‘Monster Hunter’ was born in Evra Village.
* * *
Rumbling – Rumbling –
Inside the shaking carriage.
Dio, who was lying down using the luggage in the carriage as a pillow, looked at the private house in Evra village that he was leaving.
Just yesterday, there were signs that the village had been damaged by monsters.
However, now the village has been restored so perfectly that no traces can be found.
The carriage Dio was riding stopped in front of the entrance for a moment.
“Isn’t this Monster Hunter Monte?”
The security guard inspecting the carriage for inspection began to act like he knew Dio when he saw him.
“I heard from the captain that you were going to River North. It was an honor to be with you. We look forward to seeing you again!”
There was no one here who didn’t know Dio, as he went around the village slaughtering monsters.
Dio, embarrassed by the excessive language, nodded lightly.
The guard smiled kindly and let Dio pass.
[You have entered Paramont Plain.]
A system message appeared showing that the carriage was moving again and leaving Evra Village.
Everything that could be done in Evra Village was completely completed.
‘It seems like only yesterday that I had no idea how to survive as a level 10 warehouse character…’
Before I knew it, Dio’s level had surpassed 80.
After quickly putting out the fire, my anxious mind felt much more at ease.
Dio’s next move after completing his Evra work was a journey to gain the ‘strength’ to live as he had initially promised.
Dio’s initial goal was to survive in an unfamiliar world.
It was perhaps simple and natural that the steps taken for that purpose were determined by one’s own growth and strength.
‘It’s natural to raise your level to become stronger.’
That’s why Dio’s plan includes a process for raising the level.
It was established based on the results of analyzing a class called ‘forgotten prosecutor’.
The forgotten swordsman’s skills intuitively pointed to a path to becoming stronger through conditions.
Naturally, D.O. decided that it would be best to move accordingly.
—————
1. Achieve mastery level 100
2. [Width] Use 1000 times 133/1000
3. Acquire essence of flame
4. [???]
—————
A so-so skill at first glance. The forgotten swordsmanship I thought was a skill that wasn’t as bad as I thought.
You don’t have to complete all of the conditions, just complete one prerequisite.
As compensation, the skill itself changes to the point where it is completely different.
‘Evolution.’
It is not simply a change, but rather grows in line with the class setting of ‘evolution type’.
The reason why I was able to perform better than expected in this monster wave.
In it, the contribution of [Width], which was opened by completing skill condition number 1, accounted for a significant portion.
I still don’t know how to evolve the class itself.
Therefore, Dio’s first task was to evolve a forgotten sword technique that had clearly proven its performance.
“It is the essence of flame…”
Inside the moving carriage, Dio was lost in thought, pondering the conditions.
The Essence of Flame was a material item that came with an extremely high probability when catching a fire attribute monster.
Because it was an item with a variety of uses, Dio once grabbed me and made me work hard.
‘Flame Toad Red Slime Flame Bird Salamander… ‘I suppressed the fire attribute monsters in the field to the point where they were destroyed.’
The Salamander set, a level 60 unique equipment, was also made at that time.
I had absolutely no desire to go through the hardships of that time again.
And the value of that effort is now intact in D.O.’s warehouse.
So Dio was on his way to the warehouse in ‘Big City Rivernos’ where he was collecting the essence of flame.
‘What kind of equipment was there…’
If you say level 100 on the order board, it is the standard for becoming explosively stronger due to set equipment with a level limit of 100.
‘And there were a lot of that set items in River North.’
Additionally, due to the effect of ‘Aurora Pendant’, you can wear level 100 equipment at level 90.
Due to these training items with various set options, Rivernos was a city that Dio must pass through.
Even if it wasn’t because of the essence of flame.
However, even if you are moving using the warehouse and skill requirements as a compass, you must not forget something important.
‘Information of destination.’
Considering that it is a carriage ride, it takes about 15 days to reach River North.
Dio turned his head to the driver who was holding the reins.
“Let’s ask a question.”
“Yes, all you ask.”
The coachman must have been bored as well and immediately received Dio’s words.
“Have you heard any news from the Empire these days?”
“You mean the Empire?”
Did I ask too broadly?
The driver, who was lost in thought for a moment about Dio’s question, paused a little and opened his mouth.
“I heard that a band of bandits was causing an uprising in the west and that the 3rd Prince was conscripting the troops necessary to subdue it.”
“Is that recent?”
“Yes, I heard it probably ten days ago….”
If we were to name the best of the continent’s current powers, we would naturally not leave out the Freudian Empire.
If you later become connected to Prian, the 3rd prince of the empire, you can hear a story related to this.
An incident commonly called the ‘Yellow Turban Rebellion’ among users.
Dio could easily remember what the driver was talking about.
‘Time flows around the main scenario in which the player can intervene.’
Dio was able to guess the time period of his actions to some extent through the information provided by the coachman.
“Is there anything else going on? Even if it’s something small, it’s okay.”
“I guess you’re looking for work? Come to think of it, I heard that the number of missing people in River North Village, where I am currently going, is increasing. I heard the lord is quite troubled…”
‘It’s the right time.’
Dio, who was listening to the coachman’s story, nodded and handed the coachman a silver coin in return.
“Oh my, what are you doing?”
“This is quite nutritious information. “You have to pay a fair price.”
“As expected, you are a great mercenary, so you know exactly the value of information. Ah, something like this happened again recently…”
The coachman started talking continuously, probably because he was excited about receiving the money, and Dio didn’t bother to silence him.
I roughly got the information I wanted, but the more information the better.
Even if it is false information.
* * *
“Can you please drop me off here?”
“yes? “There is still a long way to go in River North.”
The coachman, who had not yet crossed the vast Plains of Paramont, expressed doubts about Dio’s request.
“yes. “I was thinking of something to do nearby.”
Dio said with a grin, tossing some silver coins to the driver.
The coachman, who was aware of this, did not ask any further questions and just nodded.
“Oh, I’ll get better. Stay healthy and I’ll see you again when I get the chance.”
“Please take a look.”
Dio saw the driver off and immediately took off his mask as the carriage disappeared into the distance.
“Phew, I thought I was going to die of frustration.”
Since he needed to act as A-level mercenary Monte, it was not easy to wear a mask all the time.
Originally, I had planned to take a carriage to River North, but I couldn’t do that after hearing the information from the coachman.
Because…
‘Thanks to you, I remembered the hidden piece hidden in the plains.’
