Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 118

Episode 118:

Bertio Family head’s personal training hall.

There, two young men were wielding excessively large large swords.

Tap, tap, grasp!

Craddangtang!

Ates, the second son of the Duke of Bertio, fell ugly.

“Hey, hey, it’s so hard, Dio! “I feel like I’m dying!”

“Hoo hoo. Don’t whine. “Do you want to throw away your hard-earned opportunity?”

Dio also put down his sword and exhaled harshly.

“…I know. I can’t sit still any longer. “I’m sick of running away now.”

At Dio’s words, Ates’ eyes lit up and he struggled to get up from his exhaustion.

Eventually, Artes grabbed the huge sword and swung it once again.

As for why Dio is training at Dalimus’ training center with Ates…

* * *

“Why don’t you teach Ates as well while you’re teaching me?”

“Athes?”

Immediately after completing the deal to teach each other the sword and the power of the sun, Dio asked Dalimus one favor.

It was none other than asking Artes to teach him sword techniques.

“That child…is not yet at the level to see that level.”

Dalimus shook his head at Dio’s request.

“It’s not a field you can learn just because I teach you. Sword techniques can only be used by those who have reached the Sword Master level. Even if you play well, Artes is intermediate to a sword expert.”

NPCs, not players, have a set sword level.

The level of an expert who can handle aurors.

And only after reaching the level of a top-level expert who can perfectly handle Aurors can one challenge the level of a sword master.

“Strength that is not in proportion is poison.”

“you’re right.”

What Dalimus was talking about was also something Dio knew.

Nevertheless, the reason Dio made this request was because Artes also walked the path walked by the believers of the sun.

“The power I used. This can also be used by Artes.”

“what?”

It was Dio who had asked Sepia to train Artes.

As a result, although Ates could not handle the power of the sun as well as his other colleagues, he was able to use the power of the sun, albeit slightly.

“It’s still immature, but Artes will train it and become stronger. If that happens, won’t Ates be in danger just like me?”

If you encounter people like Inspector Telzia who are obsessed with heresy or high-ranking priests, you cannot be sure that Ates will be safe.

“So, Artes also needs to learn how to control sword energy as soon as possible.”

“Hmm…”

Dalimus fell into deep concern when Dio said that he must become stronger for the safety of Ates.

Dalimus also wants the lion’s blood to become stronger quickly.

But he was worried.

Is it really right for the current Artes to aim to become a sword master?

Dio, who sensed Dalimus’s mood, continued to open his mouth.

“I can assure you, having watched Artes from the side. He is reborn and will no longer run away.”

As Dio continued to persuade Dalimus, he slowly opened his mouth as if he had made a decision.

“I don’t think Artes can learn as quickly as you. However…”

Dio says that Artes has been reborn.

Those decisive words made me choose Dalimus.

“I promise. Even if Artes’ growth is slow… I will do my best as long as he doesn’t give up on himself.”

* * *

In this situation, Dio and Ates were receiving their first guidance together from Dalimus.

The first training they received was to endlessly swing this huge greatsword.

Although it can be said to be a repetitive movement training that only beginners can do, this practice has several limitations.

First of all, you may wonder if it is right to call it a sword. The huge greatsword is not simply a weapon made of iron.

This is a weapon made of a special material called ‘Osu’, which is known to be the heaviest on the Order Board.

—————

[Osu Greatsword]

Grade: Normal

Classification: Weapon

Level limit: 100

Required strength: 150

Attack power: 100

Description: Osro, a mineral known to be 10 times heavier than iron A training weapon created.

Not suitable for battle.

—————

An item that appears to have been manufactured solely for training purposes.

And you have to swing it with pure strength.

This meant that it had to be done without the help of the Aurors operated by the knights.

The reason knights are able to develop bodies and powers that surpass those of ordinary people is because they can handle ‘Aurors’.

Wielding this heavy greatsword without using auras is no easy task.

‘But I’m still better.’

Dio has limited the power of the sun instead of an auror, but he has a power that satisfies the required stats, so wielding it was not a problem.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t difficult, though.

‘But is increasing my strength of any use to me? Since it will be replaced by strength stat in the system anyway, it would be better to level up at that time.’

Dio silently followed Dalimus’ training, but was doubtful as to whether it was suitable for him.

Rather, I wish I had been trained to feel the energy of sword energy like Schuwald taught me.

‘Well, I’ll teach you later. And it seems like this training was done with Artes in mind rather than me. For now, let’s do as we are told.’

Dio looked at Artes, who continued to swing his great sword even in his exhausted state.

“Then your muscles will tear.”

“Hahaha, it’s still worth it.”

Unlike the first time when he complained, Ates’ enthusiasm burned to the point where it seemed excessive.

“I thought you would punish me for running away from home… but I didn’t expect you to forgive me so easily.”

“…Isn’t this enough punishment?”

After taking a short break, Artes continued talking to Dio.

“Duel with Brother Lennon… Dio is going to be my substitute knight, right?”

“….”

“Honestly, I’m embarrassed. It’s a duel with my name on it, but I’m hiding behind it. But…”

Artes picked up the great sword that he had put down for a moment.

“I know my fractions too. I know that now I am no match for Lennon. And in this duel, my father would like to see Dio’s skills rather than mine.”

Ates, who had seen Dalimus for a long time, spoke as if he was disappointed, but it only lasted for a moment.

“Next time, I will confront you myself. certainly…!”

“Okay, cheer up.”

Dio left the training ground alone, leaving Artes who was once again focusing on training like crazy.

This is because the 10,000 swings instructed by Dalimus have already been achieved.

He could train more on his own, but Dio had things to worry about regarding the power of the Bertio Duke family that was currently unfolding.

* * *

Dio accepted Dalimus’ suggestion not to go outside and wandered around the manor.

He was also able to collect considerable information about Bertio’s successors by giving gold coins to the servants and guards working at the lord’s castle.

‘It’s not much different from what I expected.’

Dio returned to his residence and quietly lost himself in thought.

Judging from Dalimus’ remarks, the exact successor has not yet been decided.

The only successor candidates are Lennon, the eldest son, and Artes, the second son.

Among the two, the one known as the number one successor is Lennon Bertio.

Lennon, who was not considered to have a very good personality, thought of himself as the next head of the family.

However, it was not an issue that had much impact on the succession of successors.

‘Because this is the type commonly seen in children of nobles.’

Dio thought of the numerous nobles he had met on the order board.

Honestly, in his experience, Artes was a special case.

Ordinary aristocrats were more like Lennon.

Moreover, Lennon is the eldest son of a duke who can be called a great nobleman among nobles.

‘Lennon… I think he’s more self-sufficient than before he became the head of the family.’

Dio gave his assessment of Lennon.

Personality aside, the importance placed on the prestige of the dukedom is a factor in receiving a good evaluation within the family.

Moreover, his talent for swordsmanship was also evident.

In a famous swordsmanship, there is nothing more important than swordsmanship talent.

Therefore, Lennon received most of the support from high-ranking elders who supported Bertio.

Lennon was also aware of these facts, so he treated nobles, including the head of the family, who could have a great influence on the situation on the continent.

‘Clearly, looking at it objectively, Artes has no choice but to be pushed out.’

Dio thought about Artes fighting against Lennon.

Artes was a hard worker with less talent than Lennon.

However, as the gap showed no signs of narrowing, he eventually chose to leave the family and make a name for himself under the pretext of seeking romance.

This was the worst choice in the Bertio family and the related succession struggle.

Even those who followed Ates, who had a better personality than Lennon, gradually became attached to Lennon.

‘What should I do…’

Dio put his legs up on the table and thought about what position he should take.

As a result of what happened in Oaks, the story of Ates’s merits rather than his faults for running away from home spread widely.

As a result, his support base will grow and will not decrease further than it is now.

‘If we help Ates and place him in the position of head of the family… we will definitely be able to obtain Bertio’s cooperation.’

Dalimus, the current head of the family, is also cooperative with Dio, but Dio is concerned about the future story where he dies within a year.

It would be nice if Dalimus continued to hold the position of head of the family…

Dio, who had to deal with all situations, could not help but think about his successor.

‘Duke Bertio and the eastern region can be an important background and base for me. ‘You have to think and act carefully.’

Duke Bertio could become an important bridgehead for Dio to escape the eyes of the Holy Kingdom and expand into the Central Continent.

However, these things are not impossible even if we support Lennon, his older brother and number one successor, rather than Artes.

‘He is hostile to me, but if you look at his personality…’

People like Lennon do not oppose those who stand on their side.

Dio was confident that he would kill the chamberlain who colluded with Lennon and take his place.

‘If that happens, controlling him will be a piece of cake.’

and.

‘Should I use it or not…’

I was also confident that I could make Lennon come down from his seat.

* * *

In front of the mirror, Dio smiled awkwardly when he saw himself neatly dressed, not in combat gear.

“Wow, that’s really cool. Dear Dia! “Aren’t you really noble?”

A maid’s exclamation of admiration at Dio’s appearance was heard.

The reason I dressed up like this with her help was because I was invited by someone.

“If anyone is looking for me, let them know I’ll be back soon.”

“All right!”

Dio left behind the maid, who he had become quite friendly with during his stay in the castle, and went outside.

The place you are invited to is not far away.

Because it’s Bertio’s villa not far from where Dio stays.

The villa is owned by none other than Lennon Bertio.

Surprisingly, the person who invited Dio was Lennon, who had not had a very good first meeting.

‘I have a rough guess…’

Dio grinned and got on the carriage that Lennon had sent in advance.

A dinner with the son of the greatest nobleman in the East, who may be either an enemy or an ally.

This is truly a moment to look forward to.
