Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory - Chapter 59

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 59

Episode 59:

This is the Patalos Underground Temple, where a brazier with fluttering blue flames faintly illuminates the shadows.

Patalos, founded by believers who were driven out from the earth, was a place to commemorate the demon king who fell after being betrayed by Luna a thousand years ago.

“You idiot. “He was confident that he would make it to the 7th circle.”

The man who was standing with his back in front of the altar turned his back, swearing.

His name is Luave Delaciel.

A warlock of the 8th Circle, he had just heard news of Viktor, who was based in Paramont Plains.

Even after Victor’s death, he did not show any signs of sadness.

But it wasn’t like he was angry.

I was just annoyed that there was an empty space in the area managed by Victor.

“What should I do?”

“Hmm…”

Luave touched his chin and fell into thought at his subordinate’s words.

Victor was one of Luave’s students.

He knew better than anyone else that Viktor was greedy and violent even among the warlocks here in Patalos.

That’s why Luave liked Victor in his own way.

Since ancient times, a great warlock must be greedy.

Moreover, Victor was a man with outstanding business acumen rather than a talent for black magic.

‘The ingredients he prepared were always good.’

In order for warlocks to become strong, they need the power of life.

Victor showed an outstanding ability in finding people with strong lives.

Luave also had a lot of fun thanks to Victor, so his death was a bit of a shame.

However, it wasn’t to the point where I was sad.

“Now that I think about it, the sacrifice he was planning to use…”

Luave thought of the sacrifice that Viktor, who had a keen eye for attention, had treasured.

A 4-stack black magic spell that is cast on a sacrifice.

It was Luave who helped with that.

Of course, since I received a huge amount of gold and slaves, not with my bare mouth, I did not covet the sacrifice itself, but…

‘Did you say she was the sister of a famous knight?’

Remembering that Viktor had assured her that he would use her to ascend to the 7th Circle, Luave felt that it was a waste of an offering that could not be used.

“The sacrifice he was trying to use… where is it?”

“Yes, it looks like the mercenary who killed Viktor is carrying him around.”

At Luave’s words, the subordinate spread his arms and used a silent spell.

Then, the black smoke coming out of the subordinate’s hand instantly created the shape of a map.

“This is information from the warlocks who were monitoring Luna’s forces. “It seems they headed north after Rivernos, and the Luna Church is also tracking them.”

“okay? Even the moon bugs recognized the value of the offering.”

Luave pledged to be the first to obtain the offering that not only Victor but also the Luna Church coveted.

“Find it. “We must find it before the weak and dull slaves of the moon.”

“yes!”

At Luave’s command, the subordinate bowed his head and quickly moved out of the temple.

“…Perhaps the time in history we have been waiting for….”

Luave, who was looking behind him, muttered softly.

“It might happen again.”

-That’s when I snapped that big guy’s neck!

-You got hit and flew away?

-Do not be ridiculous. Your magic was really useless.

Inside a room surrounded by rock walls.

Perhaps due to the noisy surroundings, Dio slowly opened his eyes.

“uh? woke up.”

“Are you okay?”

The people next to him stopped chatting and surrounded Dio, who was lying on the bed, and everyone opened their mouths.

“Tsk!”

Dio instinctively looked for his weapon on the unfamiliar ceiling, but groaned from the surging pain.

Dio tried to remember his past memories and wonder why he woke up in an unfamiliar place, but his body hurt too much.

“This place…”

Dio looked around with a frown as his whole body felt like it was screaming in pain.

“Don’t you remember? After Crassus saved us from Kalech Forest…”

“Ah.”

Thanks to Robreto’s explanation, Dio was able to clearly recall the events of that time.

Crassus Elfinelud.

The moment Dio confirmed that one of the seven stars that came to help them was Crassus, he was able to sleep peacefully.

Naturally, Crassus is a person Dio knows very well.

Like the Witch of Balance, Crassus is a member of the Five Stars and a dark elf elder.

Crassus was always the enemy in the game, but not now.

I don’t know what kind of story there is between the forgotten god and Crassus…

but if he hadn’t been able to quell Schuwald’s madness, Dio might have died alone in this unfamiliar world.

“Whew…I guess I should say hello to you separately. Then this place…?”

“that’s right. “This is Temberg, where Walpurgis Night is held.”

Evelyn immediately realized what Dio was trying to ask and spoke in a slightly flushed voice.

‘This is the place where the seven stars meet…’

Dio became interested in the thought that he might soon be able to meet the seven stars he had not yet met.

I’m also curious about what kind of region Temberg is.

“I’ll have to take a look once my body recovers a bit more. “Oh, thank you.”

Dio nodded to Roberto, who handed him a glass of water.

“How long have I been asleep?”

Dio asked Roberto and drank some water, still half-hearted.

“It’s two weeks.”

“Puhup!!!!”

In response to Roberto, Dio squirted out the water he had in his mouth, and Evelyn’s face in front of him became soaked.

“Miss, please!”

“Two weeks?”

Eveline runs wild due to a sudden thunderstorm of water, and Roberto stops her with a sad expression.

Dio looked at Roberto and asked back, ignoring the angry Evelyn.

“yes. Dio’s condition was not very good. “I heard you used the power of the sun too much…”

“That was true.”

Dio sighed at Roberto’s words.

Simply recovering HP doesn’t make you feel refreshed.

Various status abnormalities, including debuffs, made it difficult for players to recover.

The reason Dio has been sleeping for a long time was because of the penalty for using excessive solar power.

‘Is this a phenomenon like mana depletion? Still, two weeks….’

The stronger the power, the more severe the penalty.

Roberto smiled and opened his mouth to Dio, who was looking quite uncomfortable.

“I was told I would need treatment for about a month. Still, the master ironed the herbs with care.”

Dio nodded at Roberto’s words.

Indeed, Schwald’s physical ability was down to seven stars.

He, who was the most seriously injured among the group, had just recovered and even made medicine for himself…

Dio felt that he had been greatly indebted to Schuwald and wondered if he should at least give him a gift.

“I helped you too?”

“That’s not helping, it’s hindering.”

Evelyn, who was drenched, was still fuming, but Dio didn’t even pay attention to her.

He was busy thinking about the past two weeks and the new seven stars, Crassus.

‘Crassus, the dismissal of the pentagram. Did you say you burned the World Tree?’

Dio recalled the story of the Order Board that he knew.

In the past, there existed something called the ‘World Tree’, which the elves called Mother.

The World Tree made the elves’ power prosper and become glorious.

So, from what Dio remembers, he heard that when the World Tree was alive, the power of the elves was stronger than any other power.

‘But Crassus is the world tree…’

To the elves, Crassus was no different from their most powerful enemy.

When the players found out about this, they tried to defeat Crassus for the sake of the pretty elves.

However, it is notoriously over-the-top fantasy.

‘Omangseong’, which was created with the intention of the development team, had an extremely difficult level that could never be overcome with a clumsy strategy.

‘How many users quit because of Crassus?’

If you feel sorry for the elves, there are countless players who were crying and frustrated.

There were only a few players like Dio who could overcome the Pentacle.

Players who were frustrated by the huge wall called Pentacle Fortress ran away, saying they were sorry to the elves.

It was pretty ugly, but it was kind of fun.

‘Anyway, he also has a story. What is it?’

Dio, like other players, thought of Crassus as a villain who must be defeated.

If you think about Crassus at that time, it is true that there is a problem in accepting him as a reliable ally.

‘But it’s true that you saved my life.’

The story of Crassus can be told at any time.

If he doesn’t tell you, you can ask Schuwald.

‘Schwald will tell you everything about the seven stars and the sun. Should we take a look at a new skill now?’

Dio placed his hand on the kettle on the bedside table, ignoring Evelyn and Roberto who were bickering next to him.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been lying down for a long time, but I’m thirsty.

Dio refilled the glass he had spit out earlier and looked around, thinking he had missed something when he was about to check the system.

“By the way, where is Sepia?”

“uh? “That…”

When Dio asked, Evelyn stuttered as if she was embarrassed for some reason.

“Are you resting in another room?”

Evelyn shook her head at Dio’s guess and opened her mouth.

“Sephia left for a while to do some training.”

“You left? Where?”

Dio, who did not immediately understand Evelyn’s words, frowned.

There is no way Sephia, who knows the rules of the oath, would go far away.

Looking at Evelyn’s expression, it seemed like she didn’t know the details.

‘I see there’s a place nearby where I can train?’

Dio drank a glass filled with water and opened the status window.

Originally, he wanted to check his status, including his newly acquired skills, but Dio immediately opened the sub-list of the Oath of Liberation.

Sepia – LV 150

“PUH!!!”

The water cannon spits out again.

This time, it was not aimed at Evelyn’s face, but at Roberto’s face.

“….”

Unlike Evelyn, Roberto could not say anything to Dio.

“I guess you haven’t fully recovered yet.”

“Fuhahaha! “Pretending to be nice!”

He tried to act polite and wiped the water from his face, and Evelyn, who watched him, laughed out loud.

However, Dio, still unable to pay attention to their uproar, just stares helplessly at the system charm.

Two weeks is enough time to grow.

However, D.O. never dreamed that Sephia, who still has a lot to learn, would have grown to this level.

‘What on earth happened in the past two weeks?’
