Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 187
Episode 187:
The next most valuable potion after the Mythic grade ‘Strange Potion’ is none other than Elixir.
Calliope created her own elixir to treat her injuries and asked Dio for help, but Dio did not need it.
This is because the imperial warehouse contained finished elixir, not the ingredients needed to make elixir.
—————
[Elixir]
Grade: Legend
Classification: Potion
Effect: Recovers both HP and MP.
If the user has any physical defects, they will all be restored.
Recovers all status abnormalities under 8 circles.
—————
Elixir, which appears in various games, including Order Board, has the best effect among the potions that players can use.
As always in various gaming media, elixirs have always had the best place as recovery items, and the order board was no exception.
It not only provides physical regeneration that only top-level clerics can use, but also restores both stamina and mana.
This meant that it also restored the player’s vitality and energy.
So, Dio was able to take out over a hundred Rusty Paladins in an instant in the same condition as the first time.
“No way! “Elixir?”
“why? “I think you might have started a fight without even taking a potion?”
Scarlett could not hide her embarrassment at Dio’s words, treating elixir as an ordinary potion.
Elixir was not something that could be easily obtained even from the Luna Church.
Not only is it not possible for anyone to manufacture it, but the materials are also not easily available.
It was no exaggeration to say that the value of a bottle of elixir was the same as Luna’s holy relic.
This means that it is an object that has been revealed only a few times in history.
But how can that man have it?
“I was thinking of taking my time, but what should I do? “I had the same thought as you.”
“What what?”
“Is this all the Paladins brought with them? “I believe there is a little more left.”
“!!”
Scarlett realized one thing after hearing Dio’s words.
The guy already knew.
That the 200 Rusty Paladins who arrived at the Forgotten Temple first were not the only ones.
So even though the elixir could be taken at any time, it was not used.
“It’s a shame with this level of experience, but we’ll deal with the rest later.”
“this person…!”
Scarlett was filled with unbearable anger at the fact that she had been fooled by her partner’s tricks.
But even if Scarlett was angry, there was nothing she could do now.
Even Rusty Paladin, who had suffered hundreds of mental attacks through hostage taking, and Scarlett herself, armed with Luna’s holy relic, could not withstand one man named Dio.
“If there’s nothing more to show, it should be over now, right?”
“No…”
Even though Scarlett herself knew that the whole situation was unfavorable, she refused to admit it.
Because it is always you who inflicts abuse on the other person.
There was still a lot of fun left for Scarlett.
Scarlett’s belief is to break people’s beliefs through sadism.
The world is still full of people who don’t even understand their subject to give sadism to.
That’s why Scarlett couldn’t die here.
“You’re the one who dies!”
Scarlett, caught in the madness of optics, cried out and tried to run towards Dio, but the sword that Dio wielded was much faster than Scarlett’s speed.
Awesome speed that doesn’t even give Persitendi time to protect Scarlett.
Suddenly!
Dio, who had nothing more to gain from Scarlett, wasted no time in beheading her.
Scarlett’s head flies high in the sky with an angry expression on her face.
Scarlett, a five-handed sword who believes that only sadism is the joy of life.
The last moment that came to her was a gruesome death without even the slightest pleasure in sadism.
* * *
After Scarlett’s head was cut off, only a small number of Luna Church troops remained.
The Rusty Paladins not only saw Dio’s strength before their eyes, but did not run away even though they knew of the death of their master, Scarlett.
Sasashak –
The remnants continued to attack Dio even though it was a battle they had no chance of winning, and in the end, every single one of them lost their lives to Dio’s sword.
Like a moth jumping into a flame.
This was a characteristic of Scarlett’s mental remodeling.
Even though Scarlett is dead, the brainwashing she suffered does not go away.
Only the final command to kill Dio controlled Rusty Paladin.
‘I’m glad I’m comfortable.’
To Dio, these people were all experience points anyway, so he had no intention of keeping them alive.
Through this battle, Dio was able to gain a significant level.
It’s not just the experience gained from killing Scarlett and Rusty Paladin.
A ‘strange potion’ guarded by the last dragon Adi.
Dio had told Adi that he would carefully protect the treasures left by his mother, but he used them without delay.
I clearly learned through this battle that Adi’s strength was very helpful, but I decided that it was better to use the strange potion myself.
Thanks to this, Dio’s current level is 479.
‘If we go into a full-scale war with the Holy Kingdom, we can achieve level 500.’
Now that Solari’s blessing has been applied, Dio is in no way inferior to Kaleina.
However, Dio’s goal was to reach max level as much as possible before encountering Kaleina.
The bonus stat rewards given to players who reached max level were significant, and they need to do their best to prepare for the final chapter.
‘Now all that’s left is…’
After briefly checking the status window, Dio raised his head and looked at one place.
In his gaze, only the last person left except Sepia and Adi.
Sigmund is bound by a purple dagger.
He didn’t stop like Rusty Paladin, who attacked Dio until the end.
Dio sighed as he saw Sigmund trying to somehow shake off his restraints and carry out Scarlett’s last command.
‘Same goes for Sigmund.’
Dio killed Scarlett as soon as possible and kept her alive until the end, hoping that Sigmund’s brainwashing would be lifted.
However, as I first thought, Sigmund’s mind was completely broken.
Dio slowly approached Sigmund, knowing that the only way to help him was through death.
“Kaa-”
Sigmund starts to get more excited because of Dio coming closer.
Perhaps because of this, the purple daggers piercing Sigmund’s arms and legs began to shake violently.
Sigmund’s struggle, completely unconcerned about his body being torn apart.
In response, Dio slowly raised his sword.
Sigh –
The moment Dio was about to swing his sword, a chain of light surrounded Sigmund.
The shining chain bound Sigmund tightly to prevent him from going any further.
Flap-
boom!
Afterwards, Adi landed next to Dio, and Sephia came down from Adi’s wide back and stood facing Sigmund.
I tried to deal with it without Sepia looking, but it was too late.
Dio thought that since this had come to an end, it would be a good idea to step aside for a moment so that Sepia could say her final goodbyes comfortably.
“Do not go.”
Sepia’s voice catches Dio, who is taking a step back.
Dio looked at Sigmund next to her in silence.
Sepia, which Sigmund sacrificed himself to protect.
Even though that precious person was in front of him, his eyes were only focused on Dio.
“Kruk-”
Silence continued for a while except for the groans of Sigmund, who was chained up.
Eventually, Sephia, who must have been in a miserable mood, opened her mouth, licking her dry lips.
“Oppa….”
“Krrrr-”
Sigmund still doesn’t respond to Sepia’s voice.
The meeting we had both longed for.
In a typical movie or drama, Sigmund might have come to his senses momentarily due to such a dramatic encounter.
But unfortunately, the reality was that the two siblings were not given any mercy.
In response, Sepia asked Dio with a face that looked as if she would burst into tears if he was touched even slightly.
“Is there really…is there really no way?”
“….”
Even before Sepia’s question, Dio was constantly thinking about ways to save Sigmund.
But there was still no way.
Dio once tried to save someone who had been brainwashed by Scarlet like Sigmund during the Order Board era.
At that time, Dio was working hard for the Luna Church, so he asked Scarlett for a favor.
In the process, we learned more accurately about Scarlett’s brainwashing abilities.
Scarlett said that a person who has already suffered mental remodeling cannot be relieved by any means.
Even Scarlett herself, who did the brainwashing, said it was impossible.
It is said that even if the brainwashing is removed and the damaged brain is restored, the memories and spirit contained in the brain can never be restored.
In other words, even if saved, it is no different from a living corpse with an empty consciousness.
Dio, who thought there was no need to tell Sephia about the terrible conversation he had with Scarlett, just shook his head.
There’s no need to say out loud that you can’t get it.
However, perhaps sensing Dio’s feelings, Sepia bit her lip tightly and stretched out her hand to Sigmund, opening her mouth in a trembling voice.
“…I’m sorry I’m late.”
Sepia caressing Sigmund’s unreasonable face.
Sephia tried to put on a strong expression, but this was not an easy task in the face of the death of her beloved family.
Sepia tears flowing down my cheeks.
Sephia smiled.
I didn’t want to face Sigmund’s last moments with a sad face.
“My life that my brother protected… I will cherish it.” After
Sepia
finished speaking, a dazzling light enveloped Sigmund.
Dio closed his eyes for a moment due to the glare, and in that brief moment, Sigmund disappeared.
There was only sparkling powder scattered where Sigmund was, and Sepia was sitting down in front of him, shedding tears she had been holding back.
“….”
Dio remained silent, not daring to comfort Sepia’s sadness.
Unlike Dio, Adi, who was watching all of this, stuck his head towards Sephia.
Adi, a hatchling, was left alone as soon as she opened her eyes.
Is it because of the sense of kinship with losing a family member?
Adi wordlessly pressed his face against Sephia’s face.
In response to Adi’s comfort, Sephia stroked Adi.
“thank you. “It’s okay now.”
Sephaa wiped her tears with her sleeve and stood up.
It seemed like I couldn’t take my eyes off the empty space left by Sigmund’s disappearance, but that was only for a moment.
Sephia took a deep breath as if she was trying to regain her strength.
Even though her only blood relative passed away, Sephia did not leave this behind.
Sepia turned her head to look at Dio and opened her mouth.
“Go back.”
Dio, who saw Sepia’s strong eyes, nodded at her words.
Actually, I don’t know if Sephia’s heart will be okay.
But Dio was sure of this one thing.
Sephia is a stronger person than she realizes.
