Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory - Chapter 64

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 64

Episode 64:

A large space that could be the size of a soccer stadium.

There, Dio looked surprised when he encountered Sepia, whose entire body was soaked in sweat and was panting, and even had her flowing silver hair cut short.

The fact that Sepia is here….

Dio recalled Evelyn’s words that Sepia was training and looked at Crassus holding an iron sword next to her.

‘Crassus. It’s still scary.’

gulp.

Dio swallowed his saliva as he looked at Crassus, who had frustrated him countless times when he played the Order Board.

‘I have to be careful not to be intrusive.’

While he was very nervous as he remembered the image of Crassus mercilessly slaughtering the elves and players, Crassus approached him.

“You’re awake. “How did you find out about this place?”

Unlike Sepia, who looked tired, Crassus, who did not show any sign of fatigue, spoke to Dio.

“I was just looking around and saw an iron gate… did I get in the way?”

“The interruption has just ended.”

At Dio’s words, Crassus lowered the iron sword he was holding and winked at Sepia.

Only then did Sephia sigh and approach Dio.

“I’m glad you woke up safely. I…”

“I heard it from Evelyn. “I heard you asked for training?”

“Yes… I’m sorry for acting so recklessly. But…”

“There’s no need to be sorry.”

Dio shook his head slightly when Sephia hesitated and tried to speak.

What Dio was worried about was Sepia, who was breaking the rules of the ‘Pledge of Liberation’.

Sepia would have made her own judgment and acted accordingly.

After recognizing that the distance between Jungang-dong and the training ground does not exceed the distance specified by the covenant.

“You’ve gotten pretty strong?”

“Is that so?”

Sepia laughed as if she was embarrassed.

Dio was secretly impressed when he saw Sepia at level 150.

Sephia looked quite exhausted as she had just finished training.

Nevertheless, Dio could feel the spirit that was clearly different from before just by being close to him.

Perhaps Sepia is the incarnation of Solari.

Or maybe he inherited the power of the woman who showed great abilities on the battlefield he saw in his dream.

I’ve made some guesses, so it may be that sepia looks better.

‘I might be able to become as strong as I am with Solari’s blessing.’

Moreover, is it because he was trained by Crassus, a dark elf?

Sephia’s abilities checked by Dio also confirmed that her agility stat had increased significantly.

Why does he keep becoming a ranger?

I can see Sepia’s strong body reflected in a lot of sweat.

“….”

Feeling Dio’s gaze, Sephia quietly adjusted her clothes, and Dio thought it was cold because he was sweating, but continued his thoughts without paying attention.

‘The level of mental and physical abilities have all grown further.’

Well, now it didn’t matter whether Sephia went the ranger’s path or the wizard’s path.

I was just curious as to what class she would have since it was covered with a question mark.

‘The class has not been unlocked yet. ‘Is it because of lack of level?’

Sepia’s class is still a question mark.

Dio had not yet asked Solari what secret was hidden about this.

However, Dio, who was confident that he would eventually get a class related to Solari, unconsciously stroked Sephia’s head and muttered.

“Good job.”

“Oh yes…yes.”

Sepia, who blushed for a moment at Dio’s actions, soon smiled comfortably.

He was trained by Crassus at Sepia’s choice, but his training was by no means easy.

For two weeks, Sephia gritted her teeth and endured it.

Whenever Sepia was having a hard time, she thought of her brother and Dio.

During Crassus’ harsh and merciless training, Sephia longed for a warm word from her heart.

“…thank you.”

Sepia mutters softly, almost inaudibly.

But Dio didn’t hear her.

This was because his eyes were busy looking beyond the sepia and examining other people.

‘Crasus.’

Dio was lost in thought as he looked at Crassus, who was maintaining the training equipment, as if he had no interest in himself and Sephia.

I wanted to see how much Sepia’s skills had improved, but there was something more important than that right now.

“Sepia, take a break.”

“yes? Ah yes.”

When Dio held Sephia’s shoulder and spoke, Sepia looked disappointed but moved to a corner to make room.

“What?”

Crassus answered bluntly without even looking at the approaching Dio.

“I wanted to say thank you. Thanks to you, I survived. And for guiding Sepia.”

“Hmph, I guess you don’t want to talk about something like that? Don’t just repeat things and ask questions. “Because we at least have an obligation to answer you.”

Contrary to his blunt attitude, Crassus speaks of the duties of the seven stars.

Perhaps he is thinking of asking for background on history from a thousand years ago.

But Dio had already heard everything about history from Solari.

What he was curious about was none other than the story about Crassus.

“Why did you burn the World Tree?”

“!!”

* * *

Crassus Elfinelud.

A dark elf who burned down the World Tree hundreds of years ago.

It’s not just Crassus’ history of destroying the World Tree that caused friction with the player.

The truth is this:

The World Tree burned by Crassus did not completely disappear.

The World Tree left a seed before it was destroyed by Crassus, and the elder of the elves hid the seed.

Time passes and hundreds of years have passed since the world of Order.

The world tree at the time the players play the game germinates and grows to the level of a sapling.

And when Crassus learned of this, he took action to completely destroy the roots of the World Tree, and in the process, friction arose with the players.

“….”

Dio, recalling these settings about Crassus, fell into trouble.

Since Dio accepted Solari’s will and decided to become the great warrior of the sun, he had to borrow the power of the seven stars.

‘In order to do that, we need to know the story about these people.’

The elves who protect the world tree are not a friendly force to the player.

Because elves basically don’t trust humans that much.

However, they helped protect the continent against the invasion of the demon king Rademos, and if they were to be classified as good or evil, they were on the side of good.

Dio thought that there must be a reason for Crassus’s actions to destroy the World Tree.

“….”

Crassus, who was momentarily surprised upon hearing Dio’s words, calmed his expression and nodded slowly.

“I see…have we reached the mural?”

Crassus, who acknowledged that Dio was the key, noticed that he had crossed the mural door and made contact with the Solari.

Of course, he hadn’t heard the story about Crassus from Solari, but Dio didn’t bother to explain it.

“The World Tree was a believer in the sun just like us.”

“…I see.”

Dio was surprised, but answered calmly, as if he had already expected it to some extent.

The world capital is also a believer in the sun?

No, I’m not even a person, so can I say I’m a believer?

Anyway, that’s not the point.

If, as Crassus said, the world capital was on the side of the sun, I couldn’t understand Crassus’s actions even more.

No, if we look back on his words….

‘You mean not now?’

Dio quickly noticed that Crassus spoke in the past tense.

“okay. As you would expect, the World Tree has become corrupted. “After the fall of the sun, the power of the moon seeped into the roots of the World Tree.”

Crassus, who read Dio’s expression, nodded and said.

“As you know, Luna today is not the moon goddess she was a thousand years ago. “She feels insecure about her position.”

Crassus says that the moon is stained with darkness, just as Solari said.

“The sun has fallen, but its believers have not completely disappeared. “Not only our seven stars, but also the great beings that unite the continents, like the World Tree, firmly believe that the sun will return.”

Crassus spoke in despair and raised his hands.

“Luna did not tolerate that. Destroyed everything that believed in the sun. But Luna also coveted the power of the World Tree.”

The World Tree is the mother of the elves, a god-like being.

“Luna brainwashed the World Tree with the power of the moon. But the elves don’t believe that the World Tree is controlled by the moon.”

Crassus looked into Dio’s eyes.

“I was also an elf. He was a high elf and a lord. But I don’t regret burning the World Tree with my own hands.”

Crassus clenches his raised hand.

Dio noticed that he was suffering inside.

“I will continue to do my job. Even if my actions are criticized by all my compatriots.”

“so. Are you looking for a sapling of the World Tree?”

“…Do you even know that?”

In response to Crassus raising one eye, Dio just shrugged his shoulders.

‘Anyway, the World Tree has also become corrupted. Then they say we’ll have to fight the elves too, but that’s really a pain in the ass.’

Dio slowly fell into thought, pondering Crassus’ words.

Just dealing with the Demon King and the Luna Church is daunting, but on top of that, you have to deal with the elves…

‘Then.’

Dio glanced at Sepia, who was waiting for him on one side.

What Dio needs now is training.

In order to use Solari’s blessing effectively, one had to not only level up but also learn new combat skills.

“I wonder how you trained Sepia. “I don’t think you just taught me about combat.”

“Nothing special. Just how to use weapons, the movements of the elves, and how to use the power of the sun efficiently. “It’s just things like that.”

‘I don’t think it’s anything special.’

Dio’s eyes lit up when Crassus spoke as if it was no big deal.

A pentagram and a dark elf who burned down the World Tree.

Dio knows the skills of Crassus better than anyone else, having barely defeated him after dozens of challenges as a max-level character.

“Can I learn something too?”

Dio thought he would easily agree.

It was Crassus who trained Sepia and did not hesitate to answer her questions.

Wouldn’t training the keys be included among the duties of the seven stars he mentioned?

“under.”

However, contrary to Dio’s expectations, Krasu snorted and shook his head.

“I already lost time because of the human girl. “I don’t have time to devote to you.”

Crassus turned his back on Dio as if there was nothing more to talk about.

“Ask the other seven stars. “I…”

“Because we have to get rid of the World Tree?”

After hearing Crassus’ story, Dio could easily predict what he would do next.

“…If you knew, I hope you wouldn’t disturb me anymore.”

“wait a minute.”

Dio stopped Crassus, who was about to leave the training ground without even looking back.

“Is there anything else left to ask?”

“That’s not it.”

Dio smiled at Crassus, who was looking at him.

Crassus’ expression didn’t look very good, but Dio didn’t care and opened his inventory.

“As far as I know, the World Tree cannot be destroyed by most weapons.”

“….”

“Even Crassus’s ‘Vijaya’ will be difficult.”

Legendary item ‘Vijaya’.

Dio knows Crassus’ main weapon well.

Vijaya is none other than a legendary weapon that can be obtained by defeating him.

However, when he failed to stop Crassus, it was not Vijaya that he used to destroy the sapling of the World Tree.

“I don’t know if you know this.”

An arrow that Dio took out from his inventory.

Dio was able to see Crassus’ surprised expression, which he had never seen before.

“That thing!?”

The arrow that Dio took out was not just an arrow.

An arrowhead shining in gold.

The shape of a snake decorating the arrow shaft as if it were twisted.

An item known as a one-hit killer among Order Board players.

Commonly known as ‘Nidhogg’.

One of the legendary items dropped by Crassus along with Visaya.

A weapon that directly destroyed the saplings of the World Tree.

Therefore, it is the most necessary item for Crassus right now and is something he is desperately looking for.

It was clear that it was this ‘Nidhogg’.

“Aren’t you busy looking for this?”

Dio stretched out the hand that was holding Nidhogg so that Crassus could see it easily.

Crassus, unable to shake off his expression of disbelief, simply blinked and looked at Dio.
