Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 197
Episode 197
“Aldur!”
Calliope held Aldur’s blood-covered shoulder and called his name.
“…It looks like it went well. Although I will never be able to use the legacy that Master left behind, I will never use it again. Cough.”
Aldur looked dimly at his shattered staff.
Anyway, even Calliope cutting off the core of the barrier was no different from gambling.
No matter how great a wizard she was, the odds of her being able to penetrate the techniques created by hundreds of wizards and reach the core were not very high.
Nevertheless, Aldur did what Calliope did not dare to do.
The reason was because of the old cane he had.
This is because the old staff, which looked unsightly, was a mythical artifact that the owner of the Magic Tower, who had been in existence for hundreds of years, passed down to his successor.
Originally, it would not have been surprising if Aldur’s body was shattered by the recoil caused by the collapse of the ecliptic barrier.
However, the price was paid by the staff that proved the owner of the magic tower for a long time.
Of course, even so, Aldur’s condition was not that good.
The staff only prevented Aldur’s body from falling into pieces.
Aldur’s condition was already not perfect due to severe mana exhaustion and mana reflux caused by the recoil of the barrier.
“You’re going to die.”
“Thank you. There’s no need to tell me…”
Aldur muttered a humorous answer to Calliope’s words.
But even for a moment, Aldur put on a serious expression and raised his head to look at the sky.
“I was foolish…I only now found out that Luna’s saint was being corrupted.”
Aldur’s regret for believing that Luna’s power could protect the world.
When people suffered from monsters that appeared across the continent, the Luna Church had the power but ignored their calls for help.
Luna did not increase her strength to protect the world.
He simply became greedy for greater power, fearing that a new force would one day appear against him.
That’s why we joined hands with darkness without hesitation.
“Just because I didn’t know doesn’t mean my fault goes away. Cough.”
Aldur blamed himself for his ignorance.
His actions in helping the Luna Church were ultimately a sin.
So Aldur decided to break the barrier despite Calliope’s warning.
That is…
“Because it is the only atonement that I can do now.”
Dying Aldur.
However, a smile appeared on his face as if he felt at ease.
“Stop going…they need your help.”
“….”
Aldur pointed to the sky of the ecliptic where the barrier had disappeared.
In that sky, a dragon that had not been seen for a thousand years was moving through the sky and approaching Calliope.
The Holy Maiden of Solari and the Last Dragon.
Flapping –
Adi’s huge wings, which were close to the ground, moved slowly, and even Aldur, who was exhausted, was amazed by this magnificence.
“A dragon that protects the sun… how beautiful it is…”
“I never thought the day would come when I would hear the price of a dying old man.”
Calliope left Aldur alone and approached Sepia, who came to see her.
“Dear Calliope! “You finally did it!”
“okay. “It came at the right time.”
“When you find Calliope, Dio asked me to contact you right away.”
“okay. “Would you please leave the rest to me and take a look at me?”
Calliope couldn’t leave Aldur, who solved the barrier on her behalf, like that.
She entrusted Aldur to Sepia and immediately cast a spell.
The ecliptic barrier’s very existence interfered with Calliope’s spell.
However, now that the interfering barrier has disappeared, Calliope was able to activate the communication magic using mana without difficulty.
“I have to tell you the news quickly.”
* * *
[They finally lifted the barrier.]
The Solari forces were not the only ones who learned that the imperial barrier had been neutralized.
Saint Luna and the Demon Lord Rademos immediately noticed the moment when the core connecting the mana circuit was instantly destroyed with a great shock.
“I know. “It looks like Aldur betrayed him.”
[Those famous Luna’s swords aren’t of any help. Is this okay?]
Rademos said with a sneer, but Kaleyna’s expression did not change at all.
It’s as if he was already anticipating Aldur’s betrayal.
“Since I have decided to be with you, the five swords are just like throwing away cards. “It was assumed from the beginning.”
[Indeed…]
Rademos noticed what Kaleyna was saying.
There is currently no force in the Luna Church that would oppose Kaleina’s acceptance of darkness.
If the five swords were alive, they could have resisted or rebelled against accepting the darkness, centering around them.
So, from the beginning, Kaleina had planned to kill Aldur if he returned to the Luna Church.
Of course, Aldur, who may have sensed Kaleina’s thoughts, committed suicide through the Imperial Barrier.
Still, Kaleyna didn’t care.
“It has no effect on my plans. It’s rather appropriate. “I wouldn’t have been able to take any more time with the barrier anyway.”
“It won’t go your way.”
Someone other than Rademos took her words for granted.
A person glaring at Kaleyna in front of a cracked throne.
Freud was the emperor of empire.
The place where Kaleina is currently located is none other than Avalon Palace.
As it was the place where the emperor was hiding, the security of Avalon Palace was tight, but Saint Luna invaded without any hesitation.
They took advantage of the sit-in protest between the Luna Church’s troops and demonic beasts centered around the imperial family to target the emperor’s safety.
“Even if you kill me, Luna can never win.”
Even though he was bound by magic, the Emperor spoke to Kaleyna without any hesitation.
“That’s foolish. Emperor of the Empire. “You don’t understand the value of your life.”
“her! Aren’t you really mistaken? “People will fight for a hero who protects them now rather than an emperor who was defeated and did nothing.”
The Emperor’s words that the leader of the force currently opposing the Luna Church is not him, but a hero.
Hearing the emperor’s words, Kaleina snapped her fingers with an expressionless expression.
“Tsk!”
At Kaleina’s gesture, the Emperor rose into the air without any resistance.
Tsutsutsu-!
Is it light? Is it darkness?
The emperor was caught by the coexistence of light and darkness and dragged helplessly in front of Kaleina.
Togak-tto-gak-
Kaleina slowly walked forward with the emperor, who was captured without movement, leading her.
“You still don’t know.”
Kaleina slowly opened her mouth as she left the palace with the emperor.
“The reason the Great Warrior is becoming stronger now is because he is God’s representative.”
The reason why Kaleina captured the emperor.
The reason is because there was a way to reliably hit Dio, the great warrior.
“The stronger the faith, the stronger the power of the Daejeon Temple. That’s why your life has value.”
“….”
“Even if you are okay with yourself, do you think the people in the empire are okay too?”
The emperor bit his lip at Kaleyna’s words.
I tried to escape from the restraints somehow, but I could never escape from Kaleyna with the Emperor’s power.
“It brings despair to the empire that believed in the Great War. “That is enough.”
Bang –
The magnificent iron gate of Avalon Palace opened at once, matching Kaleyna’s steps.
The fishy smell of blood immediately wafted out.
The sight of the blood and corpses of what appeared to be imperial guards lined up in the hallway was truly horrific.
“If faith turns into doubt… the power of the Great Warrior will also weaken.”
The emperor was almost shaken for a moment by Kaleyna’s confident words, but he strengthened his resolve again.
The emperor loved heroic narratives so much that he felt like a child while watching Dio and the Dragon.
So I had no doubt about it.
The hope that the great warrior of the sun gives to people.
The courage of now.
“You are wrong. Because of my death, people will unite even more. “Because a warrior becomes stronger in the face of trials.”
Kaleina twitched her eyebrows for the first time at the emperor’s strong will.
But that only lasts for a moment.
“Whose idea is right… we will find out soon.”
After coming out of the imperial palace, Kaleina headed toward the square without stopping.
The area around the imperial palace has already been devastated by Luna Church soldiers and demonic beasts.
This terrible scene was the first to be experienced since the founding of the empire.
The status of the empire, which seemed like it would last forever, collapsed helplessly in less than a day.
The imperial palace was already half destroyed, and the corpses of the empire’s elite knights seemed to show the fall of the empire.
-Huh huh.
-are you okay. Everything will be okay.
-Your Majesty…!
People hiding in the rubble of a collapsed building.
They took refuge near Avalon Palace to avoid the attack, but ended up in a situation where death was just around the corner with the sudden appearance of Kaleyna.
They were anxiously watching the Holy Maiden of Luna heading toward the square, making no noise.
The reason why they did not deal with Kaleina, who had captured the imperial family at once, was simple.
If you die while having faith in Solari, it will transform into even greater faith and give strength to the Great Warrior.
So, Kaleina deliberately dragged the emperor, who had been treated so cruelly by the people, to the square.
To break what Solari sees as her last hope.
Arriving in the middle of the square, Kaleina kneeled down to show off the emperor.
Sigh –
The magic chains that bound the emperor held him firmly in place as he knelt.
He looks like a prisoner about to be executed.
Leaving the emperor behind, Kaleyna slowly walked around and opened her mouth.
“Listen.”
Kaleina’s words to the people of the empire who are hiding and watching this.
“As of today, the Empire will disappear from the map of the continent forever.”
Kaleina, who caught everyone’s attention, immediately declared the end of the emperor and the empire.
“The Empire did only one thing wrong. “The crime of serving heresy.”
Kaleina slowly raised her hand.
The ominous mana condensed in her hand formed a single shape, which formed a spear above the Emperor’s head.
Paching-!
A window of light where sacredness and ominousness coexist.
“That’s it.”
Kaleina, who created the spear, immediately swung her hand and the shining spear fell towards the emperor’s neck.
Kagak!
That brief moment when the shining spear was about to pierce the emperor’s neck.
Kang!
Quagwagwang!
Someone knocked out the window.
In the aftermath, a shock wave spread throughout the surrounding area.
Kugugugugugung-
“Hide behind the wall!”
“Ugh…!”
“Look over there! That person…!”
People could see.
Their hope of saving the emperor by clearing away the thick dust.
their courage.
“You’re here.”
“Yes, I came.”
This is Solari’s great fight that will stop Luna’s Holy Maiden.
