Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 198
Chapter 198
Even with the appearance of Dio, who saved the emperor, Kaleyna’s expression did not change.
Her deep, abyss-like eyes were only fixed on Dio.
Since Kaleina did not make any special movements, Dio swung his sword at the chains of light that bound the Emperor’s arms and legs.
Clink-
The Emperor is free from Kaleina’s magic.
Dio quickly got the emperor up and opened his mouth.
“your majesty. Are you okay?”
“okay. “Thank you.”
“My colleagues will be in the south. “Take people with you and take refuge there.”
At Dio’s words, the emperor nodded without delay.
The emperor had a lot to say to Dio, who saved him, but he didn’t.
This was because he knew that the longer he held Dio here, the more he would only become a distraction.
Because right now, the only one who can stand against Luna’s saint is Dio, the great warrior.
“…Please be careful. “The power that Saint Luna uses is not only divine power.”
The emperor spoke briefly about whether what he had witnessed might be of help to Dio.
The darkness of Kaleina, which decimated the royal guards, was too dangerous even for the emperor to see.
“Don’t worry about me. “Everything will be fine.”
Dio was also fully aware of the emperor’s concerns thanks to Solarina Adelia.
Dio, who had sent the emperor off like that, approached Kaleyna, who was watching him personally.
“It looks like you were waiting for me…do you have something you want to say?”
Dio was wary of not only Kaleina, who was confronting him, but also his surroundings.
Did Kaleina personally walk to the square simply to execute the emperor?
‘It doesn’t look like there’s an ambush…’
Currently, in Dio’s field of vision, there are no sights of the Luna Church soldiers or demonic beasts that burned down the imperial capital.
Even though Dio’s group and the imperial army were dealing with them elsewhere…
still, the fact that there were only two people in this square was enough to be cautious.
“A thousand years ago.”
Kaleyna’s voice awakens Dio, who was distracted by tens of thousands of thoughts.
Kaleyna was kind enough to continue speaking after a pause so that Dio could concentrate.
“Luna made a fatal mistake.”
Dio frowned at Kaleyna’s words, mentioning the god she served rather than Solari.
However, following Kaleyna’s words, Dio could understand what she was trying to say.
“Luna did not directly destroy the sun, but used the power of the Demon King to curse it.”
Luna, the victor from a thousand years ago, suffered minimal damage compared to the defeated Solari and the Demon King, but she was also not completely intact.
So, in order to preserve her own power, Luna planned to use the curse to completely destroy the remnants of Solari.
“That was a mistake. Even if my strength was exhausted, I had to destroy the sun myself.”
Kaleina says that it was Luna’s defeat that caused the curse.
As she said, the believers of Solari were finally able to overcome the curse and rise again.
For the Solari who had been forgotten for a thousand years.
“Are you so dissatisfied with that? So what. “Go back a thousand years?”
Dio, who was listening to Kaleyna’s words, snorted and responded.
Even to Dio, the sight of the so-called Saint of Luna looking at the evil of the god she served was truly ridiculous.
Kaleina only smiled at Dio’s sarcasm.
Kaleyna’s smile contained passionate beauty.
If people who didn’t know about Kaleina’s evil deeds saw it, the beauty of that smile would make them lose their souls.
However, the reality hidden in aesthetics was never beauty.
chaos.
Light and darkness, which can never coexist, were the truth that Kaleina held.
Dio, who knew this, was just horrified.
“Going back… The great warrior knows how to talk nonsense.”
What was so funny about Dio’s words was that Kaleyna’s smile continued for a while.
“I will be different from the Luna I was back then. “I…”
Kaleina’s eyes, which were like abysses, began to shine.
And then her next decision.
“I will never leave you alive.”
Dio could personally feel Kaleyna’s madness contained in her words.
Kaleina was someone I had met countless times on the order board, but I couldn’t see her like that at all.
Unlike Luna, who simply placed a curse, Kaleina’s words declare complete annihilation.
Her madness was so ridiculous that even Scarlett, nicknamed Optics, was laughable compared to Kaleyna.
‘You’re truly crazy.’
Dio recalled a recent system window that confirmed the number of Solari believers.
The number of believers listed there was around 8 million.
Kaleina’s declaration now was the same as declaring that she would annihilate all of them, including Dio.
‘Is this Kaleyna’s true form? Or is it a future that has been changed by my intervention?’
Even in the midst of the urgency, Dio suddenly thought about what kind of person Kaleina was on the order board.
What if Dio still didn’t know about Solari’s existence?
Did Kaleina remain the only saint protecting the continent as Dio originally thought? And that’s it.
‘Useless thoughts.’
Dio shook his head and glared at Solari.
It was by no means her fault that Kaleina was out of her mind right now.
This was a choice made by Kaleyna, who reached out to the darkness out of fear of having her position taken away.
Dio’s goal is to fight and win against Kaleina.
No, killing Kaleyna.
‘I came here just to try it out… but if I do this wrong, I could die.’
Dio was confronting Kaleina alone, but to be honest, he wasn’t confident about a one-on-one match yet.
This is because the quest to annihilate the monsters of the ecliptic has not been completed yet, so the experience reward has not been obtained.
Nevertheless, rescuing the emperor from Kaleina’s hands was something Dio could not help doing.
‘I can never defeat Kaleina alone. More than half of the power of faith must be from the people of the empire…’
The emperor’s existence was so important to him that Dio risked his life to rescue him.
I even considered the worst possible situation: losing this battle and running away.
And the people who must survive to plan the future are yourself and the emperor.
Of course, even if the purpose was not to rescue the emperor, Dio thought about running into Kaleina at least once during the quest.
Although it was a situation I hoped to avoid if at all possible.
‘I don’t think I’ll be completely pushed out though. Even though the level is lower, the equipment is not behind.’
Of course, there is a possibility that Kaleina possesses items that Dio did not think of.
However, if we exclude that possibility and think about Kaleina armed only with Luna’s holy relics.
The performance of Dio’s current warehouse items was slightly higher.
Plus, the war that Death Knight Adelia told us about.
The abilities of Luna’s saint, who was active in that war, were handed over in detail.
‘The abilities I know about Kaleina and the abilities Adelia taught me are similar, but their tendencies are completely different.’
When helping the player, Kaleina generally used buff-type magic.
However, Adelia said that the saintess from a thousand years ago who joined forces with the Demon King mainly used attack magic that mixed magical energy in addition to divine power.
‘But most of them are abilities that maximize their effectiveness in multiple battles. How about one-on-one….’
Dio thought of the magic that Kaleina would use now.
He could strengthen his body by indulging in the power of the moon and darkness, and he could also fire wide-range magic that was difficult to avoid.
Is it because Dio’s ability to come up with solutions to various situations is so obvious?
“You seem to have a lot on your mind.”
Kaleyna took a step forward and stretched out her arms. Magic
chain
I saw when I tied the emperor.
This was Dio’s first experience with the feeling of the chain magic that looked and felt like the chain magic favored by the warlock Viktor.
On Kaleina’s right arm is a black chain with dark magic energy surrounding it.
A white chain containing Luna’s holy power appeared on her left arm.
“Would you like to see my skills?”
As Kaleyna spoke, announcing the start of the fight, the chains on her arms expanded further and dug into the ground.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Clearly, there was no space on the ground that Kaleina was standing on.
However, the chain created by Kaleina was absorbed into the ground.
Eventually, the two chains fell off Kaleyna’s arms with a ting sound.
Liquid-!
Dio, who had not let go of his tension, hastily shook his head.
Although he couldn’t see it, he could hear the energy he felt from Kaleyna and the sound of the wind cutting right next to him.
Pibit –
A black chain grazing Dio’s cheek.
Kaleina’s chains that had seeped into the ground suddenly appeared next to Dio.
‘Is this an attack based on transfer magic?’
Dio moved quickly, looking into the air where the chain was sticking out.
Sure enough, this time a white chain protruded from the space created at the bottom of Dio.
Sigh, liquid!
Dio jumped high on the floor and turned around, fortunately the second chain attack did not reach him.
This was because Dio, who had learned the attack pattern he had experienced previously, was able to predict the second attack in that short moment.
However, the opponent is the Holy Maiden of Luna, who has joined forces with the Demon King.
Kaleina, who couldn’t stop attacking with the chain, crossed her arms.
Uuuuung-
Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrancing
Dio. The two chains that appeared around Dio crossed each other and formed a knot.
When the two chains were knotted, a strong explosion occurred near the point where they intersected.
Quang!
A dazzling flash of light struck Dio.
It was not simply a follow-up attack using explosive power.
At the point where the chains were fused, a new space opened up, and this time, a strange form of magic combining darkness and light was shot towards Dio.
‘This is crazy! ‘You can’t avoid this!’
It was Dio who moved to avoid the chains coming from an unexpected place.
In other words, a situation where one’s ‘turn’ is used to avoid the opponent’s attack.
Dio, who had just landed on the floor after jumping up, raised his sword towards the magic stream coming towards him.
Since evasion is impossible, we have no choice but to block.
Dio, who was about to face Kaleina in a decisive battle, decided to avoid the attack as much as possible without even thinking about parrying or blocking it.
It was a natural strategy since he was aware that the other party’s power was greater than his own.
However, Kaleina’s attack sees through this strategy as if it were funny.
In response, Dio gritted his teeth and swung the sword he was holding with all his might.
Paang!
Kaleina’s attack, blocked by Dio’s sword, was divided into two.
Dio prepared for the shock, but…
Jiing-
‘What? ‘Is it bearable?’
Dio looked strangely at his arm, which was shaking from the attack.
It’s not that there was no shock at all, but it was much less shocking than I thought.
Dio never thought that Kaleina would care for him.
Tiring!
A system window appeared before his eyes that answered his questions.
