Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 117
Episode 117:
The sun is slowly setting.
Dio followed Dalimus’ footsteps and was invited to his own heavily guarded training hall within the mansion.
It was difficult for Dio to understand Dalimus’ intentions, as if some kind of wind had suddenly blown to show him the sword.
‘It’s good to be trained by Dalimus… but do I need to learn the Bertio family’s swordsmanship?’
Dio thought as he watched Dalimus quietly examining the training swords prepared in the training hall.
I did say first that I wanted to see Dalimus’ insight.
However, when Dio said those words, he was just laying the groundwork to get Dalimus to open the secret warehouse, and he did not mean them sincerely.
However, since he couldn’t take back what he said, Dio pretended to be happy and followed Dalimus to the training ground.
‘Bertio’s swordsmanship is at Grade A level… I didn’t even need to use [Lion Sing], which is his secret skill.’
Dio remembered that when he met Ates, he successfully showed him the Bertio family’s secret technique.
Although its power is great, it is disappointing compared to forgotten sword techniques.
From Dio’s perspective, raising your level during that time is more helpful for growth than receiving instruction from others.
Even if it were not because of the blessings given by Solari, this is a world where certain strength given by the level is guaranteed.
‘Still, I’m curious. It’s clear that you’re stronger than me, but to what level?’
Dalimus, who appeared in Ox and radiated tremendous energy, watched right before my eyes.
“Sometimes, just swinging the sword like this makes my worries go away. “How about you?”
Dalimus raised an iron sword and swung it.
He was like a Dalimus, a warrior to the core.
The only training he did on his own was the meditation taught by Schuwald, but Dio appropriately agreed with Dalimus’s words.
“Oh yeah. So do i.”
“Then take a look.”
Dalimus held the handle of his sword backwards.
It was a familiar posture to Dio.
Bertio’s Vision Swordsmanship [Lion Sing].
Flash!
Quagwagwagwang!
Dio unconsciously let out an exclamation at the sword mark that had made a dent in the center of the training ground.
Ryan Sing’s power from his clean movements was truly enormous, incomparable to Dio’s swordsmanship.
Dalimus’ sword dance continues.
Ugh-!
The iron sword held in Dalimus’s hand collides with the air in the atmosphere and begins to resonate.
Despite the vibration, Dalimus’ posture did not waver.
‘The roar of the fluttering mane!’
Dio’s prediction was correct.
Bertio’s arcane swordsmanship [Roar of the Flying Mane] is arguably the best among all shredding techniques.
Since this is a skill that can only be learned at level 400, it means that Dalimus’ level is higher than that.
This meant that Dalimus was still at level 400, so it was still difficult for Dio to surpass him.
Quagwagwagwang!
Dalimus was clearly just swinging in the air.
However, a powerful explosion occurred in the air.
It’s like a dust explosion that reacts with oxygen in the air.
‘But that’s it. It looks like there’s nothing I can learn…’
Dio watched Dalimus’ next move as his skill level was somewhat expected.
Pak-!
Dalimus pulled out the iron sword stuck on the floor as if pulling it out, and then raised it high, and a shimmering blood-red aura appeared.
‘What is that?’
Black energy?
No, it is a different energy from the Sword Master’s aura.
Let’s go!
The blood-red aura released from Dalimus’ body began to move as if being drawn to him.
Kugoogung!
Dalimus’ movements, engulfed in aura, changed.
Pabababat!
Bertio swordsmanship is known as a swordsmanship focused on destruction.
Of all the Vertio sword techniques that Dio remembered, there was none that required this kind of speed.
It was amazing to see the afterimage of Dalimus moving so fast that it was difficult to follow it with the eye.
Fight against each other!
The iron sword wielded by Dalimus clearly left a deep sword mark even though it did not touch the ground.
The shock wave it emits alone is that powerful!
“Whoa, I feel lighter today.”
Dalimus, who did not show any signs of distress except for lightly catching his breath, slowly lowered his sword.
“How is it?”
“It’s huge. “Are the things you just showed me Bertio’s arcane sword skills?”
“yes.”
After exchanging light conversation, Dalimus began swinging his arms once again.
It was the same but different from the technology of the Bertio family that Dio knew.
It’s heavy yet fast.
It is both a heavy swordsmanship and a light swordsmanship.
‘Are you saying that the arcane swordsmanship I learned is not a perfected technique?’
The swordsmanship shown by Dalimus was a skill that could not even be seen in Lennon, who was the next head of the family.
“Whoa-”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Dio approached Dalimus, who was swinging his body quite a bit, and expressed his gratitude for his hard work.
“It is a technology steeped in the blood and flesh of our ancestors.”
“Can you show me something so precious?”
“Haha, can you follow along?”
Dio shook his head at Dalimus’ words.
The reason D.O was able to imitate Ryan Singh was because the level of difficulty was A-level.
However, the skills that Dalimus has now shown are comparable to the S-class swordsmanship that Dio knows.
If it got to that level, Dio couldn’t even imitate it unless he acquired the skill himself.
“Oh, I’m not ignoring you. But it would be difficult for you to follow along now. And…”
Dalimus, who paused for a moment, held out the iron sword he was holding to Dio.
“I heard that you can use sword techniques… can you show me?”
“yes?”
Dio, who haphazardly received the iron sword, was taken aback by Dalimus’ words.
“As I already told you…I am not at a level where I can use sword energy.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not the sword technique I know. “I’m very curious about your power, which others might mistake for sword energy.”
‘You look like a crazy swordsman otaku…’
Dio fell into trouble at Dalimus’ words.
‘Didn’t Calliope tell you about the power of the sun?’
If so, I wasn’t sure if it was right to show this to Dalimus.
However, seeing him say this, it was clear that he had some guess.
‘At least they won’t accuse me of heresy.’
After making a decision in his mind, Dio lightly swung his iron sword and took a simple stance to use his forgotten sword skills.
“Then I will go.”
Dio swings his sword! I swung.
[Island], which cut down countless demonic beasts and warlocks of Ox, was released brilliantly from the iron sword wielded by Dio.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
It seemed insufficient compared to the technique demonstrated by Dalimus, but that was due to the difference in level of the caster.
If you compare the technique itself, Dalimus also looked quite surprised at the power, which was in no way comparable to Dalimus’ skill, which is estimated to be S-class swordsmanship.
“It’s going to be quite a struggle to sort it out.”
Dio approached Dalimus, leaving behind the flames caused by the island’s aftermath.
“That’s amazing. Is this the power that ‘Mother’ uses?…”
Dalimus nodded, muttering to himself.
“I feel divine power, but it’s different from what they use. “It is similar to, but different from, the energy used by those who have reached a certain level.”
The heterogeneous power that Dio showed was something Dalimus had never seen before.
Therefore, Dalimus, who was aiming for the tip of the sword, looked very interested.
Dio waited quietly in front of Dalimus, who was reciting his comments alone.
“You said you also used it in front of Luna’s priests, right?”
“There was nothing we could do to stop Luave.”
“okay. I was right to not let you go out. “I heard stories about this from the center.”
“It can’t be helped. They’re not stupid either. “Wouldn’t it be more dangerous for the head of the family for me to work at Bertio for this reason?”
After calming down the situation, Dio once again issued Dalimus’ instructions to leave.
“I’m just sorry for causing you unnecessary trouble.”
“Isn’t that a story that’s already over? “I have a method for everything.”
“yes?”
Dio asked back, not understanding what Dalimus was saying.
“Wouldn’t this be solved if you could use real sword energy? If you do that, you will definitely be able to refute the testimony of Luna’s priests who witnessed your power.”
“ah!”
“Releasing sword energy is just the state of a sword master. If you’re capable of emitting sword energy, you’ll be able to do it in no time. I’ll take care of it on my own from now on. Hehehe.”
The reason Dio is now being accused of heresy is because he used a foreign power similar to divine power, not sword energy.
But what if the power Dio used was not actually divine power but real sword energy?
The Battle of Luave was a situation where no one could relax their nerves.
There, the clergy might be able to avoid the charge of heresy by making excuses that they were mistaken.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it can fool the eyes of talented people who clearly feel the heterogeneous power.
However, it was possible to plant a crack of doubt in their confidence.
“I would be happy if that were the case, but… one day we will have to clash with the Luna Church.”
“okay. But it would be better to postpone that moment as long as possible. Until you become much stronger than you are now.”
“….”
Dio nodded at Dalimus’ words.
His suggestion makes sense.
The Bertio family is protecting the safety of Dio, who is currently accused of being a heretic.
What if Dalimus defends that the alien power that Luna’s church members saw was just sword energy?
And if Dio proves this, the Luna Church will not be able to capture Dio for sure until they find proper proof.
“So you’re saying you’re going to teach me sword techniques?”
“okay. “I have no intention of disparaging the family’s swordsmanship, but Bertio’s swordsmanship will not suit the power you have.”
“….”
Dalimus’ unexpected suggestion.
What he means is that he will teach you how to use sword energy just as Schuwald taught you how to control the power of the sun.
‘It’s a sword… it’s not bad, is it?’
Dio knew very well how useful it was to generate sword energy.
There are enemies for which physical attacks are impervious.
To defeat them, swordsmen must receive support from wizards or priests.
However, the moment you master sword technique, you no longer need help from others.
The sword technique has [magic damage] that matches the user’s level.
Sword skills on the order board can be seen as a passive skill that is automatically acquired when the swordsman class reaches the 3rd job advancement.
In terms of level, if you reach level 400 in the swordsman class, the ‘system’ will naturally teach you.
‘My class now is like a swordsman class…’
A great warrior of the sun who changed his job through Solari.
The warrior class and the swordsman class are different, but if a great warrior uses a sword, isn’t he a swordsman?
As a great warrior of the sun, I don’t know if I will acquire sword skills when I reach level 400.
However, if it’s a job that doesn’t allow you to learn sword techniques…
‘I can’t miss this great opportunity.’
And that’s without reaching level 400.
After organizing his thoughts, Dio nodded to Dalimus.
“I am honored to be able to receive your teachings, matriarch.”
“Instead…”
Dio felt nervous at the end of Dalimus’s words, which seemed to indicate that he wanted something.
Wasn’t it meant to teach you as a reward?
“Would you like to teach me the power you use?”
“yes?”
Dio never thought that Dalimus would say that he wanted to learn from him.
I knew long ago that he was crazy about swordsmanship, but he doesn’t hesitate to say that he wants to learn from someone his son’s age…
Considering the position he holds, it’s something he can never say easily.
“It doesn’t matter to me, but…is it okay? “Couldn’t the head of the family also be accused of heresy?”
“haha! Don’t worry about that. “As long as I don’t leave the East, no one will show their teeth to the lion.”
Dio seemed to be worried for no reason at Dalimus’s words, which made him laugh out loud, so he smiled awkwardly.
“All right.”
“okay. “Let’s take a break for today. Whenever I have time, I’ll sing separately like I do now.”
Dalimus offered to shake Dio’s hand, and Dio gladly took his hand.
“Oh.”
Just as Dalimus, who had finished all his errands, was about to leave the training ground.
Dio approached him and carefully opened his mouth.
“This is what happened….”
