Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory - Chapter 9

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 9

Episode 9:

Is

that sound made by the stone statue shaking? Or is Dio’s own heart beating loudly?

The dazzling sky, which had not a single cloud in sight, suddenly became shadowy.

No, it became bright again.

Light and darkness repeated once, and at the end it was covered in dark shadows.

It seemed as if it had been artificially shown that time was passing quickly.

Dio did not understand this strange phenomenon, but he clearly remembered it.

‘This production is also clearly from the second trailer of the order version…’

The cracked surface turned into powder and scattered, and ‘it’ inside the stone statue appeared.

The mercenaries started shouting and running away.

“What…is this?”

“Run…run away!”

Even as the mercenaries were running away, Dio was lost in thought with his fists tightly clenched.

‘The statue seemed somewhat uneasy…’

It was clearly an unexpected crisis, but Dio’s mind was rather calm.

And the reason was, ironically, the ‘unreasonable’ current situation.

Dio’s gaze is now on the fully awakened statue. No, it was aimed at the Guardian.

He couldn’t understand that ‘that’ appeared in an area around level 100.

That is not ‘difficult’ but ‘unreasonable’.

‘Even if I were a normal level 100 player, not me, who is level 10, if I were to fight that guy, the way to win would be zero.’

Jet black armor surrounding the entire body.

A cursed paladin who transcends death.

Death Knight.

Death Knight is a monster that appears as a boss in ‘Resurrection of the Ancient Gods’, a mid-to-late episode of the main story that takes place after level 300.

Because that was the identity of the guardian who woke up from that statue.

‘This is going to be fun.’

If a level 150-200 guardian had appeared, Dio might have despaired.

Fighting with a guardian of that level could easily have been a ‘planning intention’ in a level 100 area.

However, that Death Knight is a monster that is difficult for even level 300 users to deal with.

‘That means that the intention of this sudden event was at least not a battle with that monster.’

At least while playing this order board, I have never seen a quest whose purpose was to not be able to clear it.

And the next moment.

Tiring!

[You possess the ‘Book of Changes’.]

[The user’s class is ‘No Class’.]

[A forced quest is activated.]

[Type: Hidden Quest]

[The activation conditions for the Hidden Quest are satisfied.]

[ Obtain the Death Knight’s sword.]

Dio’s eyes sparkled as he discovered the messages that emerged one after another.

My heart was still pounding and pounding, but thanks to the message just now, it seemed like my guess had turned into certainty.

‘Then…’

Information related to the Death Knight strategy that he knew all too well began to appear in Dio’s mind.

[Strategy] How to easily conquer Death Knight

[Author] Max Level Gaza

Views: 38394

We teach you how to eat Death Knight as easily as a cake.

Anyone raising a paladin will know this. Even among the undead, he is strangely weak to divine power.

But does that mean I have to delete the ID I was raising and raise myself as a Holy Knight again?

Then, do you think I would have used this strategy? Haha.

Listen carefully.

just. uh? It’s just so fucking easy.

Take only one priest among the NPCs.

You know that if you add a priest to your party, you get a buff, right?

After making a fool of myself with that, I’m going to bind the Death Knight.

You’re not a bondage girl?

No, the binding is done by the priest.

What does this mean?

Once again, Death Knights are weak to divine power.

You can see that it penetrates warrior shields well, but cannot penetrate paladin shields, right?

Then, cast the shield used by the priest on the Death Knight.

You know that Death Knight Phase 1 is as stupid as Sans, right?

However, if you do this, you will overdo the Death Knight and break the shield and skip Phase 1. If you

get a good response, you will also be informed of the different types of Death Knight Phase 2 gimmicks.

-Wow! You know Sans. If I put on a shield, I’ll be really scared. It’s easy.

– LOL I’m thinking like crazy about putting a shield on a monster

– LOL But if I do that, I’ll catch a Death Knight even if I order Poppy from my house

– Ugh, you’re not at max level Gaz, you’re likeable

– What is level 4, is it a Death Knight?

└ Looks like Death Knight and Apostles haha

* * * Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I think it looks like it is a death knight and apostles hahahaha * * * rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I think it looks like

it looks like death knight and apostles lol.

As soon as the Death Knight appeared, a wall of flames with an ominous green fluorescence was created in the surrounding area.

A guillotine match commonly seen in hidden quests where boss monsters appear.

This means there is no place to run now.

[How dare you set foot in the sanctuary…]

Dio did not move even in response to the Death Knight’s terrifying voice.

The situation seemed to have gotten worse, but Dio was now completely calm.

I now know clearly from the system message just now.

‘This quest… is a quest designed to be completed at level 10 or lower, not at level 100.’

What Dio realized was not a big deal.

What was the trigger that triggered this sudden event?

I remembered that.

‘The system said the hidden condition was satisfied. And the condition is to have the Book of Change in a non-class state.’

The saying that ‘no class’ is a condition is consistent with the saying that ‘be below level 10’ is a condition.

And a quest designed to be completed at level 10?

There is no way Dio, the rotten water among stagnant water, could not do something like that.

So what should Dio do now?

That was to safely pass the first phase of Death Knight.

Death Knight is designed to run wild without any sense until the first phase is passed.

If you pass this safely, you will be able to attempt to ‘talk’ to the Death Knight.

How do you survive Phase 1 of Death Knight at level 10?

No need to worry.

Phase 1 of Death Knight is a phase that has nothing to do with level.

The official name of Phase 1 of Death Knight is ‘Soul Encroachment’.

‘Whether you are level 1 or 500, if you cannot avoid this ‘soul encroachment’ pattern, you will become ‘soul bound’.’

And Dio has conquered this phase so many times that he can avoid it all with his eyes closed.

Now, I’ve even come up with a method that’s close to a cheat so I don’t have to go through all that trouble.

‘Clara is also a priest who completed her second job advancement. You can definitely use the Holy Shield.’

Dio recalled the information about Clara that he had checked through the party window.

According to the information, Clara was able to use the ‘Holy Shield’ from her second job change, so there is no problem.

Dio’s gaze moved towards Clara, who was frozen like a stone statue.

“Priest, please prepare the Holy Shield!”

“yes…? yes!?”

Clara could not hide her embarrassment as Dio rolled up his sleeves and spoke in a low voice.

“Are you going to fight? No! “You have to run away too!”

Clara, who knew exactly who appeared in front of her, desperately shook her head to stop Dio.

“There is nowhere to run anyway.”

“That’s…!”

“There is no time! Put the shield on him!”

“yes? This doesn’t make sense. To some monster…”

“Hurry before he hits the player!”

There was no time to explain anything to Clara.

Dio shouted at Clara, who was unconscious, unlike his usual way of dealing with her.

At Dio’s urging, Clara nodded as if she had no choice, then held her trembling hands together and closed her eyes.

“…The protection of the holy moonlight will protect us.”

As Clara began to pray, the blue energy of moonlight shimmered on her staff.

Then, perhaps reacting to divine power, the Death Knight looks at Clara with his eyes flashing. A

death

knight moves slowly and approaches Clara.

Dio grabbed Clara’s still hesitant arm and fixed her staff towards the Death Knight.

The target is Death Knight.

“now!”

“Ho Holy Shield!”

Woe!

The energy of brilliant blue moonlight was shot at the approaching Death Knight.

A tall,

cool-colored barrier enveloped the Death Knight’s entire body, and he stopped in place as if it were a lie.

Clara spoke with a trembling mouth as she finally understood why the order was to use the protection spell on enemies rather than allies.

“Seo… success!”

Because Death Knights are undead, the Holy Shield acts as a prison rather than protection!

Clara was skeptical about how she knew this information, but was happy at the same time.

But it is still too early to be reassured.

Dio focused on the Death Knight’s every move with a very nervous expression.

‘If the shield is released too quickly, the phase may not be completely skipped. If you see any sign of that, you should be ready to dodge immediately…’ The Death Knight

, surrounded by a shield,

took a step forward while creaking.

It’s as if a puppet is forcing itself to overcome the strings that control its body.

“Mo… Monte!”

Clara was frightened and grabbed the hem of Dio’s clothes.

‘little…! little bit more!’

Dio bit his lower lip tightly.

I didn’t want to drag Phase 1 into the physical realm because if I made a mistake, I could die.

If you’ve gone through all this trouble, shouldn’t there be times when things get easier?

A death knight whose movements are restricted and creaks as if he is bound by an invisible thread.

After a while, a little relief fell on Dio’s face as he continued to watch the guy.

The Death Knight, whose movements had completely stopped, momentarily raised one arm.

This is a precursor to the beginning of Phase 2!

‘it’s okay!’

Black energy emanates from the guy’s body.

The energy was so thick that the inside of the shield where the Death Knight was trapped was covered with black smoke.

A shield that expands from within.

And finally….

Clink!

As soon as the shield was broken, the restrictions on the Death Knight’s actions were lifted.

“Aaaah!”

The aftereffects were so powerful that the recoil alone broke the shield and sent Clara flying far away.

And then Death Knight’s Phase 2 gimmick begins!

The black smoke emitted by the Death Knight rose into the sky and formed four spears.

thud! thud! thud! thud!

Soon, the spears were struck in the north, south, east, and west, centered on Dio.

Wow –

the energy that emanated from the Death Knight spread out from the pillar-like window.

In an instant, a space was created just for Death Knight and Dio.

A gimmick for Death Knight, a master of close combat.

The Death Knights began to rush forward with movements that were difficult to follow with the eyes.

What he was aiming for was Dio, who had become the target of the gimmick.

But Dio was already preparing.

A way to try to talk to him before the gimmick of Phase 2 begins in earnest.

Dio knew that very well.

Thump-thump-pa-ba-ba-bak!

The new type of Death Knight blew like a gust of wind, coming right in front of Dio and stopping tall.

As soon as the violent movement stopped, the wind blew like a typhoon, unable to overcome the Death Knight’s inertia.

If Dio’s judgment is wrong, the Death Knight’s sword will fall on his neck.

However, there was no trace of tension or anxiety in Dio’s appearance.

* * *

In any game, a Death Knight is not a miscellaneous mob.

Especially in the world of Order, which has a strong worldview, even if it is just a monster, there is a detailed background and setting for it.

So, all of the Death Knights that exist on the Order Board have their own stories.

And the moment these Death Knights each tell a ‘story’ related to themselves, Phase 2 stops.

However, Dio has completely guessed who this Death Knight is.

This means that there is no need to be afraid at that point.

So Dio looked him in the eye and said this.

“Don’t you know me?”

And the next moment….

[The conditions are met.]

[The ‘dialogue field’ is activated.] The

Death Knight’s sword, which was rushing towards him with the power to cut Dio in two at any moment, stopped tall in front of him as if it were a lie.
