Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 52

Episode 52:

Morning has arrived in Kalech Forest.

Dio, who woke up after hearing Roberto say that the meal was ready, checked the equipment and went out of the room.

“Ouch…Ah Dio, how are you?”

Sephia was seen frowning and rubbing her forearms first.

Last night, as requested by Schuwald, Dio’s companions drew a small amount of blood.

Rather than using magic, blood was collected using a state-of-the-art(?) tool using a syringe.

According to Schuwald, he asked a dwarf he knew to make a custom order.

Although it was said that it was to avoid harming the other person, the expressions on Sepia and Evelyn’s faces when they received the syringe for the first time were quite worth seeing.

“Haam…”

Still, unlike Sepia, Evelyn, who was sitting in front of the table looking quite fine, looked down at the food that had been prepared.

“Hey, what is it? “The only thing you can do is remove the shoots, right?”

Evelyn, who had been eating a lot of fatty food for a while with Dio’s money, looked disappointed at the stew without a single trace of meat.

“If you’re going to be dissatisfied, don’t eat it.”

Roberto responded coldly, as if he had not forgotten Evelyn, who had used magic on him.

“You have no energy because you lost a lot of blood yesterday!”

“Don’t make a fuss. “I collected the appropriate amount of blood as the master said.”

“Don’t lie! “Do you think you don’t know that they only gave me a strong injection?”

Aren’t vampires and witches a good match?

With the exception of Schuwald, who had lived for over a thousand years, the relationship between Roberto and Eveline did not seem to be very good.

“Is the meal too meager for these precious guests?”

Schuwald, who arrived late in front of the noisy table, appeared giggling.

“Oh no! There is a lot to eat like this. thank you for this food.”

No matter how careless Evelin was, she did not act carelessly in front of Schuwald.

“I’m sorry. I collect herbs and was a vegetarian until I was cursed. “It looks like the habits from back then still remain.”

‘Vampires are vegetarians…’

Dio was shocked to hear Schuwald’s words, but tried not to show it.

“Hurry up and have dinner. Thanks to you guys, Roberto and I are stronger than usual. “Ah, is it rude to say this?”

“Hahaha….”

Sephia and Evelyn laughed awkwardly at Schuwald’s joke, having already finished eating(?) the fresh blood provided by Dio’s group.

After breakfast, Schuwald called everyone to the large open space in front of the cabin.

“Now then, before we begin full-scale training, let’s check Dio’s special skills. From the looks of it, it looks like you’re using a sword. Would you mind showing some insight?”

“Does it have any meaning?”

“of course. It will be much easier to manipulate the power of the sun according to the fighting style that suits you.”

“All right.”

Dio agreed to Schuwald’s words and drew his sword.

In the vacant lot, there was firewood that seemed to have been piled up by Roberto.

Shushushush –

Dio used his forgotten sword skills to split a large log into several pieces without even needing to take a separate stance.

“Hmm…”

Schuwald watched in silence as Dio’s skills didn’t seem particularly grand.

‘Is this not enough?’

After observing Schuwald’s notice, Dio raised his sword once again, thinking it would be better to show Schuwald everything related to the forgotten power.

It’s like,

baba baba bak!

Dio used slash after slash on a piece of log that had been chopped down into suitable firewood.

However, the piece did not break into smaller pieces, and only a small mark was created that was grazed by the blade.

Tung-!

After completing all preparations, Dio kicked out a piece of log and raised it high into the sky.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the sky as they watched the firewood fly high into the sky.

‘width.’

Quang!

The firewood with the mark on it, just like the one used when fighting the warlock Viktor, immediately caused a huge explosion.

“Hoo…”

“Wow, what is it?” “Did you know you could do something like that?”

Schuwald’s eyes changed with interest, and Evelyn, who was seeing Dio’s technique for the first time, looked quite surprised.

“…This is all I can do.”

“okay. “That’s enough.”

Schuwald nodded at Dio’s words and approached him.

“I miss the swordsmanship. But the operation is much simpler than I remember. “Where did you get that strength?”

“I got it from a forgotten temple in the village of Evra, located south of here.”

“okay. That’s how it happened. Do you know Adelia Darc?”

In response to Schuwald’s question, Dio thought of the Death Knight of the Forgotten Temple.

‘The Death Knight’s name must be…’

The real name of the Death Knight that the system provided.

When Dio heard that name from Schuwald’s mouth, he realized that she was also a contemporary of the seven stars.

“yes. I know, but I don’t know the details. “Who is she?”

“He was a strong and noble paladin. She was the sword and shield of the sun and was never afraid to take the lead in destroying evil.”

“She too has become a Death Knight now. “So you’re cursed like the seven stars?”

“Death Knight?”

“yes.”

When told that Adelia Darc had become a Death Knight, Schuwald muttered, ‘That’s why I couldn’t find her.’

As Dio watched Schuwald thinking deeply about something, a question arose.

“Then why isn’t she active in the world like the other seven stars? If she is the strongest among the believers of the sun…”

“Well… I don’t know why she hid. But they say that all believers in the sun have wounds that cannot be washed away. “It could be that they are afraid of it.”

Schuwald closed his eyes as if recalling the past.

“How painful it is to have to live in a body that cannot even die. We don’t hate Adelia. “It’s just… it’s a pity.”

In response to Schuwald’s bitter words, Dio said nothing more.

“Anyway, I know that I learned Adelia’s swordsmanship. But I am a monk who practices martial arts. So it will be difficult to give you help with swordsmanship.”

Dio nodded at Schuwald’s words.

Actually, the forgotten swordsmanship is a skill that grows on its own when the conditions are met, so there is actually no need for Schuwald’s help.

At that time, Schuwald was my partner! and applauded.

“Don’t worry too much. Still, I have something to teach you.”

“yes? “So are you learning fighting skills?”

“No, what I will teach you is how to manipulate power. “Do you remember what I demonstrated yesterday?”

“yes.”

Dio recalled Schuwald’s power that turned the rock into powder.

“If you can use Adelia’s swordsmanship, it is clear that you have the power of the sun. “It’s just that you don’t feel it, do you?”

“yes.”

“The power flowing through your body. Some call it mana, some call it an auror… if we put it our way, we could call it divine power, right?”

“Hmm….”

Dio could not easily answer Schuwald’s difficult explanation.

It seems like these are similar words to what Evelyn said when teaching Sepia…

To be honest, Dio was doubtful as to whether it was possible for him, as a player, to feel an invisible force.

“Things like mana are simply used. It’s about taking the energy of nature and using it for yourself. Ah, divine power can be seen as a little different. “Because, besides the power of nature, it is a power that only selected members of the church can use.”

Schwald’s explanation continued whether Dio understood it or not.

“For example, collecting water from the ground and putting it into different shaped vessels. “Is what I’m saying difficult?”

“no! “It fits my ears!”

“….”

Evelyn, who was listening next to him, raised her hand and answered on Dio’s behalf.

“You are a witch who has dealt with mana from the beginning, so it will be easy for you to understand what I am saying. sepia. “What about you?”

“Honestly, I don’t know. But if you follow the feeling…”

Sephia answered, recalling the method Evelyn had taught her.

“okay. Just imitating will help a lot. “Our little witch taught us well.”

“lol.”

Evelyn smiled cheerfully at Schuwald’s praise.

“But imitation alone cannot handle the true power of the sun. In the end, you must feel this power for yourself.”

Schuwald spread his palms.

“I compared mana to water on the ground, right? but.”

Chii Iik-

“The sun is too hot to become water.”

Sepia and Evelyn’s eyes widened at the intense heat generated by Schuwald’s open palm.

It’s invisible to the eye, but it seems to exist.

I could vividly feel the intense heat radiating from the power of that presence.

“okay. The power of the sun burns away water. “It means that the power of the sun is contained in the vapor from which the water evaporates.”

Schuwald clenches his fists. A soft light began to surround his fist.

“Water is free, but water that becomes vapor is even freer. So there are endless ways to utilize it.”

“Is this because the volume of gaseous water vapor is much larger than the volume of liquid water?”

This time, Dio, not Evelyn, who was an excellent student, pretended to know, and Evelyn grumbled as if she was upset about it.

“I was going to tell you!”

“…What are you disassembling?”

Schuwald laughed at their conversation and began to compress the power of the sun even more.

“The amount of mana is determined by an individual’s capabilities, but the power of the sun can produce strong power regardless of an individual’s capabilities.”

“Why?”

Evelyn asked as if she couldn’t understand Schuwald’s explanation.

Isn’t it a law of nature that an individual can use as much power as he or she has?

‘If you consider the wasted energy, it would be normal to produce weaker power…’

Like Evelyn, Dio, who was not convinced by Schuwald’s words, tilted his head.

Schuwald looked at them and immediately continued his explanation.

“If the power of the sun I have is weak, it can be solved by using the light available anywhere in the world. This process is called ‘absorption.’”

“ah!”

Evelyn, whose curiosity was resolved by Schuwald’s words with a smile, let out a small exclamation.

Wherever there is light, there is shadow everywhere.

Evelyn, a witch who manipulates shadows, would have been easier to understand.

Woooooung –

A dazzling beam of light shining down from a cloudless sky.

It seemed as if the light was absorbed by Schuwald’s hand.

“If we have borrowed enough of the sun’s power through the process of absorption…”

Schwald turned and snapped his fingers, aiming at the empty space.

pop-!

Quagwagwagwang!

A huge explosion occurred that could not even be compared to the width of Dio.

“Just ‘releasing’ it like this poses a great threat to our enemies.” With

the empty

lot in the background becoming a sea of fire, Schuwald turned his head to Dio again.

“It’s the same with the rock I showed you yesterday. “I simply transferred the absorbed power of the sun deep into the rock and released it from within.”

‘You say it as if it’s no big deal.’

From Schuwald’s words, Dio had an intuition that his future training would not be smooth at all.

“Haha, it’s okay if you don’t understand the theory right away. “I will help you as much as I can.”

Schuwald, with a bright smile on Dio’s confused expression, told him not to worry.

One way or another, even if the thorny road ahead was good, there was no reason for Dio not to receive Schuwald’s teachings.

‘Hidden conditions to evolve skills. If we awaken to the power of the sun, wouldn’t we be able to discover that condition?’

This was because the power of the sun must be obtained in order to uncover the forgotten swordsman or proceed with the quest.

“Okay, let’s give it a try.”
