Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 195
Episode 195
Dio remained in his seat until Sephia came to him and reflected on the progress taking place in the imperial capital.
First of all, the actions of Luna’s saint, Kaleina.
Even though Kaleina appeared directly to Dio, he disappeared without doing anything.
Starting with this, the forces of the Demonic Beast Corps and the Luna Church rose like waves, and the imperial capital began to transform into a full-fledged battlefield.
‘The problem is that it is not a general offensive.’
Dio, who received a quest to annihilate all the monsters that attacked the imperial capital in Solari’s conversation, thought that Kaleina would launch an all-out offensive from the beginning.
The advantage of a surprise attack was to quickly capture the Imperial Capital through a blitzkrieg.
But Dio’s thoughts immediately changed.
Unlike the first time, the descending demonic beasts and Luna Church soldiers gradually decreased, and even the reduced troops were scattered.
It just seemed like there was some kind of plot going on.
However, this was enough to inflict a fatal blow on the defenseless Hwangdo.
If you make a mistake, the imperial capital can collapse in just a moment.
So Dio immediately cooperated with Swordmaster Gunther and Mercenary King Agram, who remained in the ecliptic, and divided the wide ecliptic into five directions to wage a defensive battle.
Although the regeneration ability of the infected paladins was difficult, Dio clearly placed personnel in each area to help with this.
This was only possible because I grew together with my colleagues.
If Dio was the only one who could use the power of the sun, he would never have been able to overcome it.
‘The snowball that saved Sepia has ended up here.’
Dio recalled the moment when he did not give up and saved Sepia, which all the players had given up on.
At that moment, Sepia was seen approaching on an Adi from a distance, and Dio began to think about his future plans again through organized thoughts.
* * *
“Dio!”
“sepia.”
Dio handed the items he had prepared in advance to Sepia, who got off Adi’s back.
“What is this?”
“I’ll explain later. “This comes first.”
The object that Dio gave to Sephia was a lightning rod as long as his arm.
And not one, but five lightning rods.
There was no time to explain what this was, so Dio began to focus on what Sephia needed to do.
“Find Calliope and place this. There is no need to install it outside. Just like we divided the areas, we just need to set them up in five evenly spaced areas around the ecliptic.”
Dio explained calmly, drawing a pentagon on the floor.
Along with the story that the vertex at the top of the pentagon is the point where it is currently located.
“all right.”
Sepia understood Dio’s explanation at once and immediately got on Adi’s back without asking for further details.
Sepia itself is aware of this.
This means that at this point in time when the Imperial Capital is under a surprise attack, all actions need to be taken quickly.
Flap –
Adi, carrying Sephia on his back, spread his wings wide and immediately flew high into the sky.
As Dio watched, he began to recall once again what Sepia had reported through Evelyn’s familiar.
‘A paladin who shares demonic energy while Sepia’s purification ability does not work…’
Through these facts, Dio was able to be certain of Kaleyna’s current condition.
‘It’s the same as what I heard from her. Kaleina’s power now…’
The ‘her’ that Dio was referring to was not referring to Dio’s existing companions or Calliope, one of the seven stars that had helped him.
In the ecliptic area divided into five directions, Dio always placed people who met certain conditions.
This is someone who can skillfully use the power of the sun.
Only then will we be able to completely destroy the infected paladins.
So the northwest is Sepia and Adi.
The southwestern ones are Roberto and Gunter.
In the northeast, Evelyn and Elaine were deployed.
Among them, Elaine could also use the power of the sun, but she was not yet as proficient as the rest of the group.
Like Sephia, Elaine became qualified to use the power of the sun through the oath of liberation.
Crassus taught Elaine, but the period was not very long.
This war was a military operation carried out by Kaleyna as a surprise.
So Dio safely left Evelyn and Elaine together.
In this case, four of the five directions are filled, but one side is left empty of people who can use the power of the sun.
There are a total of four areas that Dio Sepia Eveline Roberto can be in charge of.
Nevertheless, there is a reason why D.O. divided it into five directions.
The last remaining southeastern district.
The person not yet deployed is Agram, the mercenary king who cannot use the power of the sun.
And…
Dio thought of ‘her’ who was stationed with the mercenary king.
* * *
This was right after Dio woke up the dragon Adi and went to the forgotten temple.
Immediately after returning to the Imperial Capital, Dio and Sephia set out to find a quiet space to collect the loot they had taken from the forgotten temple.
The training hall, which was not far from the imperial palace, was the most suitable space for Dio.
This training ground is a space where high-ranking knights and royal family members train, not just soldiers or knights.
Currently, most commander-level knights and the emperor are busy with frequent meetings ahead of the impending war.
They did not have enough time to train, and thanks to this, Dio was able to place the statue from the forgotten temple in the training hall without anyone disturbing him.
So, the two people currently in the training hall are Dio and Sepia.
The others were not here to see the dragon Adi, who had newly joined Dio and his group.
“Can I really do it on my own?”
Sepia asked Dio with a voice full of concern.
“Don’t worry, I will be by your side and help you. Let’s do as much as we can.”
Dio placed his hand on Sephia’s shoulder, and Sephia was able to relax her nervous mind.
Hwaak –
When Sepia raised the power of the sun with her hand on the statue, the power of the sun began to circle around the statue.
However, for some reason, contrary to Dio’s thoughts, the stone statue did not seem to be able to accept the power of the sun.
Dio, who watched the situation, opened his mouth.
“I don’t think simply infusing strength will work, right? “The curse is pushing away the power of the sun.”
“Then…”
Sepia bit her lip slightly and began to cast a spell.
Woe!
Sepia activated two skills at the same time.
One was a skill that purified demonic energy, and the other was a sacred skill powerful enough to destroy curses.
A powerful spark began to fly around the statue
.
And after a while.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssbs-
The stone statue that had absorbed all the brilliant light of the sun finally began to crack with a crackling sound.
As he heard the sound of
the
stone statue trembling, Dio’s memories of when she first woke up came back.
The petrified Death Knight slowly stood up.
Jet black armor surrounding the entire body.
Cursed by Luna a thousand years ago.
A paladin who protected the glorious era of Solari.
Adelia Darc.
At her reappearance, Dio swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
Thinking about it now, I wondered how I could stand proudly in front of such a being with a weak body of level 10.
Of course, at that time, I was in a situation where my adrenaline was secreted to the limit in order to somehow survive, but I couldn’t help but feel dizzy when I thought about that time.
Woe!
Is it because it received the power of sepia?
A dazzling light emanated from Adelia’s entire body when she woke up.
When the intense light subsided and Adelia reappeared, her appearance was noticeably different from before.
Adelia’s face, half of which remained only bones.
However, Adelia’s face, which had received the power of the sun, no longer contained the appearance of an undead.
“You…”
A human voice began to come out of Adelia’s mouth, not the voice that made my head pound like the Death Knight’s.
As soon as Adelia spotted Dio, she took a long stride towards him and stretched out her arms.
I didn’t mean to attack.
It was as if I had met a precious person again.
Adelia opened her arms and tried to embrace Dio.
“What are you doing?”
Sepia was taken aback by Adelia’s sudden behavior and ended up blocking Adelia’s path and trying to push her away.
Since Sepia does not know what happened in the Forgotten Temple, she cannot understand why Adelia is doing this.
“Wow…you look just like the saint I know.”
“yes yes?”
“Wait a minute Sepia.”
After stopping Sephia, Dio faced Adelia and opened his mouth.
“My name is Dio. The god you serve. “I am a great warrior chosen by the Solari.”
“….”
At Dio’s words, Adelia slowly backed away without saying a word.
Sephia gives Adelia a wary look.
“Know.”
Adelia accepted Dio’s introduction, but she still couldn’t hide her expression of disappointment.
Adelia’s expression looks endlessly sad.
Dio knows that Adelia misses her former lover, but he refrains from mentioning it as much as possible.
What Dio needed now was Adelia’s help.
“Adelia. “I need your strength now.”
“….”
“War a thousand years ago. “Can you tell me everything that happened there?”
* * *
A being guarding the southeastern part of the ecliptic that was attacked by Kaleina.
This was Adelia Darc, whom Dio brought from the forgotten temple.
Adelia willingly accepted Dio’s help and also told him stories he did not know.
The story was mostly about the continent’s worst war, which took place a thousand years ago.
It’s a story about the saints of Solari and Luna who were active at that time, and what kind of power Luna used when she betrayed him.
‘Adelia said that Luna and other saints have once absorbed the power of the Demon King.’
Dio persistently questioned Adelia about the abilities of Luna’s saint, who had absorbed the power of the Demon King.
I was able to hear a key answer to this.
Even though it attacked with powerful destructive magic, when it defended, it used its divine power to block all attacks from Solari believers.
This was a story about using the same attribute to offset the attack.
It was the same peculiarity that Sephia reported when dealing with the infected paladin.
‘Information you can find here. It is said that the current Kaleina is at least on the same level as the saint from a thousand years ago…’
Although this was something he had already heard from Solari, Dio secretly hoped that things would turn out differently than what happened a thousand years ago, when he directly defeated Solari.
What is most problematic about this fact is that it is like saying that the Holy Maiden of Luna was the one who directly caused the downfall of the Solari a thousand years ago.
What this means is that the current Kaleina is strong enough to rival God.
Even if Dio completes this quest and reaches level 500, it may be a difficult fight.
‘No, there’s no need to fight or be scared. Even if the opponent uses the power of a god…’
Dio decided to do what he could do best.
The reason why Dio was able to survive on the order board.
He had a spirit of challenge that did not give up even among players who complained that the strategy was impossible.
Of course, this challenge will require you to take the risk of risking your life.
