Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 139
Episode 139
: Sepia, who changed her job to become a Saint of the Sun.
Dio was in a lot of trouble when Sepia received the saint’s power from Calliope and learned the skill.
Although Sepia received training from Calliope, she was not taught enough to handle it perfectly.
There was not enough time, and more than anything, Calliope did not really know the saint’s abilities.
A saint of the sun who existed a thousand years ago.
From what I heard, it seemed like Calliope had some kind of relationship with the saint.
That’s it.
Even as Calliope, he does not know in-depth because he only watched from the side as the saint used her power.
In that case, Sephia, who inherited the saint’s memories, would have to awaken her abilities on her own…
Maybe it was because her level was still low, but Sephia seemed to lack an understanding of the skills she could use.
So Dio and Sepia spent a considerable amount of time researching this.
Dio wanted to hear everything Sepia remembered, even if it was blurry.
Then, you can infer which skill it is based on similar priest-type skills that Dio knows.
From the deceased’s vast knowledge, Dio was able to find a skill similar to Sepia’s.
I thought all night long about how to combine this.
Was that effort in vain?
The barrier currently blocking Deathcruger’s army was not simply a skill used for protection purposes.
Sepia’s ‘Pillar of the Sun’ is a technique specialized for trapping enemies, like when dealing with the demonized Lennon.
However, if you twist this and spread the pillar of the sun wide, you can block the enemy’s path in a wide area.
‘Sephia had a hard time spreading the power. If I had to come up with a name for the skill… I think it would be solar heat ray.’
Although D.O. had a bad naming sense, he was confident that there was no name more suitable.
The beam of light between the pillars was like an electric barbed wire.
When the demonic beasts that come at you like pest exterminators reach here, they will crack! and suffer damage.
It’s not the end just by touching it and causing damage.
Because Dio already knew through experiments that it has a passive ability that purifies demonic energy at a certain distance.
Of course, if you touch it directly, the effect is doubled.
-Kerrruk!
-Kaooo!
As a commander, Dio carefully examined the situation.
The entrance to the Demonic World was not that wide.
There were tall cliffs blocking the way for large-scale troops to clash.
Thanks to this, Sepia’s Sun Pillar was able to completely establish an army of demonic beasts, and the undead instinctively moved away from the pillar and concentrated in one place.
In any case, the Allied forces could easily surround the situation.
But Dio didn’t do that.
“Do not cross the defense line! “Keep an eye out for demonic beasts crossing the gap!”
Dio shouted as he pulled his horse’s head across the battlefield.
Accordingly, the soldiers created a formation solely for defense, with the barrier made by Sepia at the forefront.
They didn’t know why Dio still insisted on defense, but they could immediately understand the unusual movements of the demonic beast army.
-Crack! Crack!
-Cow!
Demonic beasts controlled by Deathrugger.
They must have been ordered to force forward, so they forcibly rushed forward even though they were burned by sepia fire and fell to the ground.
Grumble!
The undead were immediately destroyed by divine power, but the demonic beasts did not.
Despite the pain of being burned, they somehow clung to the wall, and soon their corpses created a wall to counter Sepia’s defenses.
As a result, the ghouls who made up most of the vanguard began to push away the dead demon beasts.
Because there were so many, the beams of light between the pillars of light began to stretch, and the ghouls who were looking for a gap began to force their way out.
The ghouls who first broke through the barrier were also engulfed in fire, but as the fire accumulated, the demonic beasts and undead that came after them were able to completely cross the wall.
“They concentrate in one place! Redeploy troops!”
“Relocate!”
Dio has already prepared a formation for this.
Legions of demonic beasts trying to break through the barrier even at the cost of their lives.
They had to use many corpses, so they crowded into the cracks in the barrier, but what was waiting for them was the sharp spears of the Allied forces.
Puff puff poop!
Phalanx is a phalanx tactic that is also useful in the order board.
Of course, in a battle with wizards, it cannot use its full power, so there are many situations to consider, but it is different when dealing with magical beasts.
In addition, there is no need to worry about demonic beasts that can attack from a distance due to Sepia’s barrier, so it can be seen as an appropriate tactic for now.
“die!”
“We take care of the big guys!”
Most of the demonic beasts and undead fell due to the attacks of the skillful soldiers, but there were also beings that withstood their attacks.
High-ranking undead like Dullahan were like that.
“Stand back!”
In preparation for this, knights and mercenaries of Class A or higher jumped beyond the shield soldiers and attacked the Dullahan.
Let’s go!
Pubububung!
Dullahan collapses helplessly.
Even if high-ranking undead come over like this, their number is small.
Therefore, it was easy to deal with attacks by elite soldiers.
However, the number of the Demonic Beast Corps was still enormous, and the pillar of light created by Sepia slowly tilted as they advanced, risking their lives.
If the blockade made of light pillars collapsed, damage to the Allied Forces from the waves of demonic beasts seemed inevitable.
“They are sneaking in through the cracks!”
“The next command has not yet been issued. “Stay where you are!”
The soldiers knew that the cordon could not hold out for long, but they held on like Mount Tai.
However, unlike the imperial soldiers, the mercenaries expressed anxiety over the continued passive orders.
“How long do you plan on waiting?”
“If this breaks through, won’t we all die?”
In the end, the mercenaries facing the giant chimera breaking through the blockade, defeating the pillar of light, were about to retreat to the rear.
“Everyone stop! “Look at the sky!”
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky as Agram shouted to calm the agitated mercenaries.
“What is it?”
“What am I looking at?”
“The sun is going down, isn’t it?”
What came into their sight was a huge sphere.
A sphere so large and dazzling that it could be mistaken for the sun was slowly falling from the sky.
“What is that!”
The soldiers were intimidated by its enormous majesty, but the size of the sphere became smaller as it headed toward the ground.
But people could feel it instinctively.
The warm energy felt in that sphere.
“Are you a saint?”
“It’s incredible…”
The soldiers were able to calm down as the warmth of the sun calmed their agitated minds.
And as if repaying their faith, the compressed and smaller sphere fell in the middle of the battlefield where the demon beast army was crowded.
* * *
Whoops – flashing!
Immediately after the small sphere touched the ground, the gray floor of the Demonic World instantly became lighter in color.
Just like an ordinary plain.
Just like the earth covered with nothing but dirt.
The phenomenon of the wide gray floor being purified could only be described as bizarre.
It doesn’t end with just strange phenomena.
Energy coming from the sphere.
This was not just light.
Sepia’s wide-range purification skill ‘Solar Jade’.
The moment the light of purification took over the battlefield, the brilliant light of the sun illuminated the entire demonic army without missing a single one.
Then, not only did the undead slowly melt, but the demonic beasts burned as if they had been touched by a pillar of light.
Of course, this was a skill that only had a powerful effect on targets with demonic energy.
There was no damage to the Allied Forces that were confronting the Demon Beast Corps, and they were actually able to feel warmth in the cold battlefield of the Demon World.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
how do you look into the power of the solar jade? It has its downsides?
Because the casting time itself is long and Sunlight Jade is a channeling skill that must cover the field and last, Sepia who uses magic is exposed to danger.
But now is the optimal situation to completely block such risk factors.
A barrier was built to stall for time, and Sepia is guarded by elite soldiers, including Dio himself.
However, in order to sustain the Sun Jade, a huge amount of mana and divine power are consumed.
Therefore, the time that sepia can sustain solar jade is only about 1 minute.
The winner had to be decided within one minute.
“Eveline!”
Slurp –
At Dio’s signal, Evelyn, who was standing in the front line and watching the situation, raised a staff that looked like a scythe.
As the light gets stronger, the shadows also get stronger.
This simple principle also applies in the world of order boards.
So, although the magic of Sepia and Evelyn seem to be opposites of each other, when combined, the synergy effect becomes one of the highest level linkages within the order board properties.
bang!
When Evelyn struck the floor with her staff, sharp thorns protruded from the dark shadow of the magic beast army created by the sun ore.
‘Shadow Thorn’, a shadow-type magic similar to the ‘Dark Thorn’ used by Luave.
If Evelyn had used the skill alone, it would not have been strong enough to compete with Luave’s Dark Thorn.
But not now.
Shadow Thorn linked with Sepia had both its range and power amplified.
Additionally, the weapon she is holding is a staff-type legendary weapon obtained from Bertio’s warehouse.
The 100% shadow attribute enhancement option attached to the ‘Scythe of Judgment’ maximized Evelyn’s magical abilities.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
The giant chimera screamed in pain as the Shadow Thorn, created from its own shadow, headed towards its host.
-Whoa whoa!
Because it had a bigger shadow, the damage suffered was bound to be greater.
So-called stamina proportional damage.
Shadow Thorn was applied not only to the Chimera, but also to the small demonic beasts and undead around it, cutting them all down.
As a result, they were literally torn to pieces.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
It began to collapse around the huge beast from all directions, and Dio, who was looking at it, began to relax.
‘Let’s finish it.’
Depending on how the skills are linked, large-scale battles can be easily resolved.
Dio could have left the dying Demon Beast Corps to the soldiers of the Allied Forces or the five swords, but he could not.
‘You can’t miss even the last one.’
Dio, who wanted to monopolize the entire army of demonic beasts in front of him, immediately put his hands on his waist.
We gathered our strength through the trick of absorption.
Papak!
Dio’s feet moved quickly, and his new form instantly moved in front of the shield soldiers who had solidly blocked the battle line.
His target is a legion of demonic beasts that are distracted by the joint attack of Sepia and Evelyn.
Dio’s arm swung towards the battlefield where a large army of demon beasts was spread out.
Bung –
There was clearly nothing in Dio’s hands.
But at one point, a brilliant blue sword made of all-purpose jade was held in his hand.
emission.
Ping –
The dazzling power of the sun shot out along with the sound made by the pressure of the air in the atmosphere.
Truly supersonic.
Dio’s boastful swordsmanship cut the surviving demonic army in half despite Sepia and Evelyn’s skills.
Googoo googung!
Numerous demonic beasts and undead were cut up and down in an instant, and their decomposed bodies fell to the ground.
Whiiiiing –
With Dio’s final blow, the legion of demonic beasts that filled the entrance to the Demon World were defeated, and the battlefield fell silent.
“…?”
“Are you… finished?”
However, the cheers of the Allied Forces, who soon realized they had won, spread out as if they were ringing the entire horse race.
“Oooh wow!”
“I won!!”
“Oh my god, three people can put an end to so many demonic beasts!”
The shouts of the Allied Forces, who belatedly realized they had won.
The first battle in Makyeong ended in complete victory with no loss of power for the Allied Forces.
* * *
Hooked!
Squeak-!
A long spear was driven into the torso of a ghoul whose life would soon end even if left alone, and the head of a writhing hell hound was cut off.
Allied soldiers moving slowly among the piles of corpses.
They were carrying out a task to definitively end the surviving demon beasts and undead.
“They look like damn undead guys.”
“The undead come back to life and are a pain in the ass, but these guys don’t wake up? “Is it the influence of divine power?”
“So, that’s right. “I was anxious because there were no priests from the Luna Church, but it worked out well.”
“Because we have a saint.”
The Union soldiers, who had gained momentum, were easily tasked with disposing of the remnants.
Dio, who was watching this, turned his head and looked at the experience point notification sound that rang incessantly.
‘Even though we shared it, it came out quite a bit.’
When the soldiers finish off the remaining remnants, they will also receive experience points, so Dio did not bother to step forward.
As Dio was about to return to Prian to report the situation, someone stopped him.
“Hey kiddo.”
“….”
Dio looked up at the giant who couldn’t hide his excitement.
What got him so excited?
Dio knew without having to say it.
Because he is a battle fanatic who does nothing when it comes to fighting.
“Would you like to see me?”
Galletto’s eyes as he spoke to Dio seemed to want only one thing.
A fighter’s desire for ‘fighting spirit’.
That was all.
