Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 173
Episode 173
“Kuh-uh-”
It wasn’t a sound that could have been made by a human, but it was definitely a human.
The core of the Demon King and the Holy Knight who was thought to have self-destructed.
He was clearly Paul Eppenhaus.
Whioooooo –
The ominous wind blowing through the demonic landscape caressed Paul and he let out a groan in pain.
“Off…”
The body of the caster who was sacrificed by the light of sacrifice must have disappeared without a trace.
Sacrifice is noble.
Priests who force themselves to sacrifice themselves have their bodies and minds leave the earth and go to God.
It is said that if the divine power is strong, even the dead can be revived.
But that is only possible if there is a body that can be saved.
Even Descruger, who studied black magic for a thousand years, only gained the ability to be ‘immortal’ but was never revived.
“What on earth is this…?”
Paul himself stuttered, not knowing what was happening to him.
His last memory was of unmistakable death.
Could it be that Kaleina gave him a favor?
No, even if Luna was a saint, it was impossible for her to regenerate her extinct body and be resurrected.
Paul felt complicated as he saw that the arm that had been cut off by Dio was also restored.
‘What happened to my body?’
Paul’s torn body had cracked skin here and there, as if it had been forcibly put together.
Paul was very unfamiliar with himself.
Thump-thud-
Paul felt his heart beating abnormally loudly.
No, I didn’t feel it, I actually heard it.
The sound of a heart beating vigorously that is not yours.
‘I have to go to the saint.’
Paul tried to get up, but he couldn’t move easily.
Was it because his body felt very unfamiliar, as if it was not his own?
No matter how skilled and experienced a paladin Paul was, this would be his first time experiencing revival.
“Tsk!”
Paul sat down with his heart pounding again.
My head is so confused.
Who am I?
What am I doing here?
Paul tried to remember what had happened so far.
-Go to the magic room right now and find Dio. And try to persuade them to take our denomination’s side.
Is Kaleyna’s voice an illusion?
-If you cannot appease them, you must kill them. Definitely, even if it means sacrificing your life.
A mission given to Paul by Kaleyna.
All of these missions failed.
Why did it fail?
‘The guy handed it to me at the last moment…’
Paul recalled the terrible-looking, ominous heart that Dio had placed in his hand.
It was because of that.
The reason why the light of sacrifice he risked his life for failed.
[Get up.]
A voice other than the saint’s voice sounded in Paul’s head.
It was never an illusion.
Paul could tell.
That the heart Dio gave me is now inside my body.
“No way.”
Only then did Paul notice.
The heart that blocked the light of sacrifice.
And who is the owner of this heart that resurrected him?
[Go to her.]
The heart continued to whisper to Paul.
And Paul couldn’t resist it.
Because the body has already been controlled by the heart of the Demon King.
‘■■-sama….’
With the last thought of Kaleyna, Paul’s consciousness disappeared.
Even though he was clearly unconscious, Paul slowly got up and took a step forward.
Something that isn’t Paul
.
I began to walk alone across the vast land of the demon world.
* * *
Grump –
Kaleina wiped the blood flowing from her nose with her hand.
Red blood on her hands, as beautiful as white jade.
“Is it a failure?…”
The reason Kaleina was injured was because Luna’s holy relic, which contained her power, was destroyed.
The holy relic was held by Paul, the last sword protecting the saint.
And the story about the disappearance of the sacred object was the same as saying that Paul had used the ‘Light of Sacrifice’.
‘I wanted him to die with me…but he’s alive.’
Kaleina quietly closed her eyes and felt her ‘eyes’ spread across the continent.
Luna’s faith spreads throughout the continent.
These were Kaleina’s eyes, and thanks to them, she was able to understand the situation on the continent faster than any other country.
‘Solari’s momentum never stops. No, I’m much stronger than before.’
If Dio, the Great Warrior of the Sun, had died, it would have definitely affected Solari’s faith.
However, despite Paul’s use of the Light of Sacrifice, Solari’s faith never weakened and instead burned even hotter.
It is as if we will immediately greet the Great Warrior of the Sun who will return from the Demonic Scenery.
‘I have no choice but to use that power.’
The saintess who was sitting on the chair straightened her back even more.
Although the sacred object was destroyed and lost its power, it is insignificant compared to the power lost when the World Tree was destroyed.
Fire –
A dazzling golden halo appeared behind Kaleyna’s head.
The brilliant golden light came together and formed an angelic ring.
It was not simply a shape created with light.
The angel ring that was just created was clearly in a materialized state that was physically accessible.
The ring landed on Kaleyna’s palm and she closed her eyes quietly.
As Solari’s status grew, anxiety overtook the Holy Kingdom of Atra.
Even Luna’s faithful believers are worried about the growing Solari.
Because the moon he believed in would be obscured by the sun.
The chaos caused by Solari could no longer be ignored.
‘To calm the chaos that has come to the Holy Kingdom… we must kill Dio.’
* * *
Gunther had an embarrassed expression on his face as he walked behind Dio.
It was because of the conversation between Dio and Evelyn, who was complaining among Dio’s group who were endlessly walking around the demonic landscape.
“Oh, indeed. “I heard there are all kinds of artifacts in the Empire. Is there even a long-distance teleportation artifact?”
“It should exist, but it may not be common.”
“You have a lot of things like that, right? “Isn’t it because of your artifact that Crassus came to visit us?”
“That too is precious.”
“When I return, I will ask my teacher to teach me teleportation first. “If it were me now, I would be able to learn ultra-long-distance teleportation spells, right?”
Evelyn muttered, strengthening her resolve.
Although he didn’t say anything to Gunther in their conversation, he felt a pang inside.
It sounded as if they were blaming a man who was the sword master of the empire for coming to the Demon World without even preparing that much.
‘Huh, I never thought I would pay attention to guys who are as old as my son.’
If someone who knew Gunther well saw what he was like now, they would be astonished.
In fact, it was true that Gunther was watching Dio and the others.
‘They may not be as good as Dio, but they all have amazing skills.’
Gunther felt the huge mana felt by Evelyn, who was complaining.
Among the incredible imperial court magicians, there was no one with greater magical power than Evelyn.
Evelyn was not the only one who felt surprised by Gunther.
This woman might be the most outstanding among them, if only considering the amount of mana she possesses.
‘Did I say sepia… I think I’m still young, but the level I’ve reached is unbelievable. It can’t even be compared to when I saw it before.’
And what about Roberto, who is quietly taking up the rear?
The force he possessed was as strong as that of the five-armed sword Galetto, whom he had encountered several times.
‘I can’t believe that Galletto is dead. Well, Paul also died right in front of my eyes…’
Gunther was able to hear some of what happened in the demon world from Dio.
The fact that the five swords sent to the Demon Lord tried to kill Dio, and that Dio killed one of them, Galletto, and appeased Elaine.
Gunther was more surprised by the fact that Elaine had taken Dio’s side than by the fact that Galletto and Paul were dead.
The only elf who cooperates with the Luna Church externally.
However, Elaine was famous for her extreme dislike of humans.
It was natural for Elaine to be surprised since she did not even listen to the words of the Luna Church members she was cooperating with.
‘This is my first time seeing the man next to me. ‘Are you a dark elf?’
Gunther glanced at Crassus, who was walking side by side with Elaine, but immediately turned his gaze straight ahead.
This is because I felt threatened for a moment by the unusual energy I felt from Crassus.
It was as if he was warning me not to pay attention to myself and Elaine.
‘Except for Dio, the author might be the strongest. ‘He’s so strong that it’s a shame that he can’t compete.’
The reason Gunther did not bother Crassus was because he was carrying out the emperor’s orders.
It was obvious that Dio would think poorly of him if he decided to fight here for no reason.
‘What can I do? I have no choice but to wait and see for the time being. With this much power, the Empire will never be defeated by the Luna Church.’
Gunther was relieved that he had formed an alliance with Dio and his group, who were considered the elite of the elite.
If they met as enemies, Dio’s group had enough power to pose a threat to the empire.
Shush –
As Gunther gave a brief evaluation of Dio’s group, a woman appeared in front of them.
She was a woman with more dignity and nobility than any other nobleman Gunther had ever seen.
Gunther knew right away that she was the witch named Calliope that Dio had mentioned.
Beings who can easily use long-distance teleportation are not that common.
Gunther swallowed his saliva without realizing it when he felt the wave of mana that was felt when Calliope appeared.
“hi. “Is everything done?”
“yes. “I don’t think there’s any need to search for demonic beasts anymore.”
Dio looked around for a moment and pretended to look for someone.
“Didn’t Kalphael come with you?”
“He went back to Temberg. “There’s nothing to do anymore or something.”
“….”
Dio was speechless at Kalfael’s actions, which seemed to be just out to play with Demon Lord.
Looking at Dio like that, Gunther fell into deep thought.
‘Who is Kalphael and where is Temberk?’
Gunther’s thoughts became even more complicated when he realized that there were still more people left.
The number of talented people gathered here right now is considerable, but this means that his power is not everything.
“Then we’ll have no choice but to go on our own.”
“okay. where should we go?”
“Let’s go to the imperial capital where Avalon Palace is.”
Gunther, who came to his senses at the conversation between Calliope and Dio, was startled and hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Now wait a moment. “You’re going straight to the ecliptic?”
“Isn’t cooperation with the empire already over? Still, I have to at least pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor.”
“That’s a thank you, but…”
For some reason, Gunther looked troubled at Dio’s words.
As expected, Gunther had not yet reported to the emperor that he had met with Dio and successfully concluded negotiations.
If the emperor meets Dio and his group without knowing anything, he will definitely be embarrassed.
There was no problem with Dio and his friends, but Gunther’s position was not.
Proceeding with work without any specific report to the emperor is an act of ignoring the empire’s command system.
“We’re going in too much of a hurry….”
“Come on! Everyone gather together! “I’ll be there right away!”
Gunther opened his mouth to persuade Dio, but it was already too late.
Since it was not a matter of moving a large number of people, Calliope created a teleportation magic circle in an instant with a brief gesture.
“Now wait!”
Gunther shouted urgently, but Calliope had already gathered mana.
Shoo shoo shoo!
Just like that, Dio and Gunther’s new form disappeared in an instant.
