Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 166

Episode 166

“Vijaya means eternal victory. “The World Tree handed this over to me at the last moment.”

“Can you give me something this precious?”

“okay. “Now you must lead the elves to victory.”

In the midst of Crassus and Elaine’s serious conversation, Dio sat alone and looked at Elaine and the resting Sephia alternately.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, I have something to check for a moment.”

Dio thought about Sepia’s question for a moment and then opened his mouth again to Sepia.

“Sepia, there was no problem when you went under the cliff and when you got too far away from me, right?”

“yes. “Just as you said.”

What Dio was talking about to Sephia right now was about the characteristics that apply to the ‘contractors’ who are subject to the oath.

This means breaking the bond of obedience.

And in the conversation between the two, it was stated that this characteristic had been alleviated.

This was because the level of the oath of liberation was raised one level and a new change was made.

—————

Skill: Oath of Liberation Lv.3

Current Contractor: [2/2]

Additional Effect:

As a reward for Oath of Liberation level 3, some characteristics applied to subordinates are changed. It’s possible.

—————

The basic effect did not change.

If the oath is made, the target becomes subordinate and the caster receives an appropriate penalty.

However, after reaching level 3, it was found that there were changes to the characteristics due to additional effects.

‘When going from level 1 to level 2, the number of contractors increased…’

The number of contractors is still 2 spaces.

Dio thought in his heart that by consuming the last square, the level of the oath would increase and the number of contractees would expand again.

But that idea was too convenient.

In the first place, contractors have the characteristic of being ‘unconditional allies.’

It is a skill with considerable merit simply by having Elaine, one of the five swords, and Sephia, who has grown to the level of seven stars, as contractors.

In some ways, increasing the maximum amount that can be contracted here may be greed.

Dio once again looked carefully at the system window where the newly updated additional effects were listed.

[Subordinate-only trait]

[Obedience]

A subordinate obeys the master’s commands.

You can issue orders based on an oath through the keyword ‘order’.

You may refuse orders, but at the cost of suffering according to your oath.

‘[Obedience] is the same as before.’

There was no change in the [Obedience] part of the exclusive characteristics.

However, there were clear differences in the other two items.

[Bonding]

The death of the owner is shared with the contractees who made the oath.

The subordinate must act together with the master.

[Breaking]

The owner may break the covenant with the subordinate at any time.

However, if destroyed, the contractor’s slot will not become empty again.

‘One item each was deleted from [Bonding] and [Destroy].’

There are two major changes in the characteristics of subordinates.

The first is the distance limit of [Solidarity].

The item ‘If you stay more than 1km away from your owner, you will be subject to pain according to the oath’ has disappeared.’

Originally, there was a restriction that subordinates had to stay with their masters at all times.

If this is not done, the dependent will face suffering that can lead to death.

However, this has been alleviated, and now Dio does not have any problems no matter how far away he is from Sepia or Elaine.

And the second was the price for [destruction].

-A contract that is broken will face death according to the contract.

Originally, among the items about [breaking], it was stated that death would come to a contract that was broken.

However, now the ‘death’ penalty has completely disappeared.

This was like saying that Dio could set the contractor free whenever he wanted.

‘If I do this, I will be able to cancel my oath right away. But…’

Dio’s situation is not good for thinking about the moral issues that modern people should think about.

If he releases the contractor out of pity, Dio will only suffer losses.

This was because there was no change in the fact that if a contract was terminated, the contract slot would not be filled.

‘When the time comes…’

If the day to return home approaches.

Dio’s heart was quite comforted just by the fact that he could set Sephia and Elaine free.

This was because I was secretly concerned about the dependency relationship that put life as collateral.

“Is there a problem?”

Sephia asked back at Dio, who spoke first and was lost in thought alone.

Dio, who finally came to his senses, shook his head and checked Sephia’s condition again.

“No problem. How is your body? “What is the condition of the weapon?”

“I have quite a bit of stored mana left. But the weapon…”

Sepia checked the ‘Provision of the Sun’, which stores mana, and then showed the staff she was holding to Dio.

A legendary grade staff brought from Dio’s personal warehouse.

Originally, the brilliant jewel attached to the wand sparkled to the point of brilliance, but now its shine had faded significantly.

This was because of the rough hunting that lasted for more than a month.

‘It won’t be long before it breaks, right?’

Dio thought as he examined the staff in Sepia’s hand.

Since there was no blacksmith class among the party, repairing weapons was impossible.

Still, they were able to survive because the items Dio gave to the group were all of Unique Legend level or higher.

Of course, it was now so worn out that it was better to rebuild it than to repair it.

“I can’t help it. Hang in there until you leave the devil’s land. “If you go to the city, I’ll give you better weapons.”

“It’s a waste…can’t I fix it and use it again?”

Dio scratched his cheek at the words of Sepia, who seemed to have quite an affection for the cane.

In a way, Sepia’s reaction was natural.

Because, unlike Dio, there was no way Sepia would understand changing equipment according to level.

Because the weapon at this level was a good enough weapon.

However, it is not possible to continue giving level 300 weapons to the current Sepia.

“Well, even if I fix it, this weapon won’t be able to match your level.”

“Well, I was vaguely feeling it too. “At some point, it seemed like the weapon couldn’t withstand the force.”

Sephia nodded, as if she understood what Dio said.

The current level of the party, including Sepia, was equivalent to five swords or seven stars.

However, if we were to consider whether the party could win a fight with five swords, there were still many shortcomings.

One thing that is definitely lacking is the equipment.

Compared to the five swords and seven stars, Dio’s companions’ equipment was very poor.

‘If only the weapon had been better, the time could have been shortened further.’

In Dio’s inventory, he had all the equipment he and his companions would use in the future.

However, due to the unexpected addition of Elaine, Dio and his companions all exceeded level 400.

None of the weapons currently in the inventory were suitable for Dio or his companions.

This was also because the warehouse that Dio had visited so far did not have equipment suitable for a transcendental person.

Equipment suitable for transcendentalists refers to equipment of level 400 or higher.

‘For items above level 400, the minimum grade is legendary. There’s a truckload of more in my warehouse.’

The problem was that the high-value items were stored in two warehouses.

One of these warehouses was none other than the warehouse in Atra, the Holy Kingdom of the Luna Church.

‘Why did you put it in Atra?…’

Dio blamed his past self for organizing warehouse items by level.

I can’t even think of going to Atra’s warehouse yet.

Now that Galletto is dead and Elaine has become Dio’s subordinate through the oath of liberation.

Clearly, the power of the Luna Church had been sufficiently weakened.

In addition, Dio and his companions’ levels all exceeded level 400.

However, as Dio had worried earlier, the party’s current equipment is inferior to the current level.

If you think about the remaining five swords and the ‘paladins’ of the Luna Church…

‘Even if the seven stars join together, an all-out war would be difficult.’

Fighting in Atra, which can be said to be the headquarters of the Luna Church, should be avoided if possible.

The battle taking place in Atra is a completely different situation from when Galleto, who participated in the Demon Expedition, was easily killed.

Numerous paladins and heresy inquisitors guarding the saints.

Considering Scarlett and Paul were leading them all, it was no easy task.

In addition, Aldur was still a difficult person to understand, so he was a difficult opponent to deal with.

‘Among them all, Kaleina is the biggest problem. Until now, I’ve never had Kaleina as an enemy.’

Dio thought of Kaleyna, a saint from the Luna Church.

In the Order version, Kaleina was a being close to perfection.

From the beginning, the Luna Church was the players’ most reliable ally.

This is because he had to give Kaleina a helping hand in order to survive in the order board, which is known to have extremely difficult game levels.

Kaleina is an NPC who has reached level 500, which is the maximum level.

A supporter who acts as a typical ‘priest’ class that does not use attack magic.

However, the auxiliary magic used as a supporter was so effective that it was impossible to clear it without Kaleina.

The final chapter of the scenario is called the standard route, where you defeat the Demon King with Kaleina’s help.

That means that the person who can rival the Demon King is not the player, but Kaleina.

‘But that doesn’t mean there’s no possibility of breaking through.’

Dio thought of Kaleina and began to organize the information he knew about Luna’s saint.

Although the player has never had an enemy, the person with whom the player develops the greatest bond as soon as they enter the final chapter is none other than Kaleina.

That’s why Dio knew.

This refers to the gaps that arise because something is ‘close’ to perfection.

‘Atra’s warehouse will have to be postponed for the time being. In that case, the remaining warehouse is probably the empire’s warehouse.’

Dio thought of other warehouses like the Atra warehouse where high-level equipment was stored.

The warehouse was located in the capital of the empire where the imperial ‘Avalon Palace’ exists.

One of the reasons Dio gave credit to Prion in this expedition was because of the empire’s warehouse.

The current Dio’s face and name were quite well known on the continent, even excluding his achievements in successfully subduing Demon Lord.

If Prince Prian had been out of sight in this state, it would have been difficult to even visit important areas such as the imperial capital.

But Dio was sure.

The fact is that Dio himself will not have any problems going to the empire’s warehouse after this expedition.

‘Prian…it looks like he has quite a crush on me.’

Dio doesn’t know what Prian and the Allied Forces, who returned from the Demon World, are saying to the people of the world.

Unlike them, the current Dio is still staying in the demon world.

Nevertheless, there was a reason for Dio to be confident.

Hwaaaaaaa!

Dio grinned as he felt the power of ‘faith’ overflowing through his body.
