Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 202
Episode 202
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck.
Immediately after the darkness that seemed to swallow the ecliptic in an instant disappeared due to five pillars of light.
A new army has entered the burning ecliptic.
The main force of the empire gathered in the south.
They had arrived.
“You’re finally here. But what is that light? “It’s my first time seeing divine power…”
muttered Schuwald, who had no way of knowing the power contained in the ‘Infinite Gem’, which was neither Solari nor Luna’s.
“I can’t afford to worry about that right now. “We must quickly recapture the imperial capital.”
“No, wait a minute.”
Calliope, who was next to Crassus’ urgent words, stopped him.
Currently, Calliope had been contacted by Schuwald and had joined the imperial army.
Therefore, it was possible to move the imperial army near the imperial capital to the front of the imperial capital in a short period of time.
“Can you feel it? Over there in the center…”
Kugugugugugung!
A tremendous vibration interrupted Calliope’s words.
As a result, people noticed what Calliope had discovered.
“oh my god. “Is this really the power that one person can produce?”
Although they had just entered the imperial capital, the imperial capital was very wide.
Although the distance to the center must have been considerable, Schuwald was astonished by the force he felt.
The power of Luna and the Demon King that I remembered deep in my bones.
And the power that countered this was the power of Solari.
Quagwagwagwang!
A huge explosion accompanied by an earthquake.
All seven stars hesitated due to the wave caused by this.
“Shouldn’t we help quickly?”
“It’s not just the center where the battle is taking place. “We may need to divide our forces.”
“But it will be late while dealing with the surrounding enemies.”
Although they succeeded in entering the ecliptic at best, they hesitated because they did not know where to start and how to do it.
Even though there was a great commander named Dalimus, the representative of the seven stars and the imperial army, it was natural for them to hesitate.
This is because the enemy that invaded the empire now is so powerful that they cannot dare to oppose it.
If you make a wrong move, you might be attacked by the numerous undead legions that are already occupying the imperial capital.
As soon as they entered the imperial capital, they immediately entered into battle with a large number of undead legions.
Since we could not even predict what dangers would lurk as we headed towards the center, we had no choice but to act cautiously.
“There’s something coming!”
At someone’s shout, all seven stars looked at the sky.
Shughak-!
A strong wind blew towards the imperial army due to the flapping of a pair of huge wings.
“De Dragon?”
“Was it true that the dragon appeared?”
The entity that caught everyone’s attention upon its appearance was none other than the dragon Adi.
Most of the imperial soldiers who volunteered to the Imperial Capital were all surprised by the presence of dragons.
This was because they were waiting in the south for war, so this was the first time they actually saw the existence of the dragon that Dio had brought.
“Everyone stay in your seats. “It’s on our side.”
Since most of the soldiers were wary of the dragon’s presence, Schuwald asked Dalimus to calm them down.
Although it had been a thousand years since Schwald had encountered a living dragon, he was convinced that the dragon in front of him was on the Solari side.
The reason was because I felt the energy of a being jumping off the dragon’s back from afar.
Calliope also nodded because she had seen Adi and Sepia just before.
“Schwalt!”
Sephia got off Adi’s back and ran towards Schuwald.
“okay. “It’s been a while.”
Schuwald couldn’t help but smile when he saw Sepia growing up so well, even though it was an urgent situation.
I wanted to ask about the well-being of Roberto, my student, and Eveline, Calliope’s student next to me, but I couldn’t.
Even as this was going on, the fight taking place in the center of the ecliptic was becoming more and more intense.
Kugwagwagwang!
“I just arrived so I don’t know what the situation is like inside. “What is Dio’s situation now?”
“Right now, Dio is facing the Holy Maiden of Luna alone. But…I think they are taking their time on purpose.”
“who? Luna’s saint? Or Dio?”
“It’s Dio.”
In response to Schuwald’s question, Sephia spoke confidently.
And he immediately began conveying his thoughts to the four seven stars around him.
“What we need to do now is not join Dio’s fight.”
“Why? “Are you saying that taking time isn’t waiting for support?”
“yes. Dio is waiting for us to take care of all the undead in the imperial capital.”
“Undead?”
Crassus gave a questioning look at Sepia’s words.
Although we entered the Ecliptic and faced numerous undead, they did not feel that threatening.
It was Crassus who they thought was just a small fry, and the other seven stars thought the same.
That’s why I couldn’t understand Sepia’s words.
Is it really the right thing to do to deal with the remnants rather than the most threatening enemy right now?
“Is this Dio’s idea?”
“no. Dio didn’t tell me directly, but…I can tell.”
Sephia, like Dio, did not hear Solari’s revelation directly.
However, Sephia spent more time with Dio than anyone else in the group.
So, Sepia was able to find out what Dio wanted through the ‘All-Purpose Jewel’ that Dio had given her in anticipation of the appearance of the undead.
“The undead that originally appeared in the ecliptic had mysterious abilities. But Dio entrusted me with something to neutralize it.”
Sepia pointed to five pillars of light rising toward the ecliptic sky.
“The more Luna’s army kills the people of the empire, the weaker Dio’s power will be. Conversely, the more enemies are defeated, the weaker the saint’s power will be.”
“Right. “I understand now.”
Schuwald nodded as if he understood Sepia’s explanation.
I don’t know if Sepia’s guess was the same as Dio’s, but I could at least know that the path Sepia suggested was not wrong.
Even if you just measure the power you feel now, getting involved in Dio’s fight would be a hindrance.
The gap between the power of Saint Luna and the power of the seven stars was enormous.
“Let’s all divide into separate areas. I don’t have time. “How can we help the Great Warrior…”
Schuwald looked into Sepia’s eyes while giving instructions to everyone.
If someone other than Sepia had said it, Schuwald would have hesitated.
However, Sepia, who inherited the power of the Saint of Solari from a thousand years ago, believes in Dio and suggests a way.
Schuwald ended his speech by nodding his head, remembering the saint from long ago.
“Because this is it.”
* * *
Boom!
With a huge explosion, someone’s new model broke through the rubble of the building and was buried on the ground.
Wow –
the identity of that buried person is none other than Luna’s saintess, Kaleina.
But only for a moment.
Kaleina was floating on the porous ground, completely intact and devoid of vital energy.
Sigh –
Kaleina grinned as she saw a crack in the protective shield surrounding her.
And the person who pushed him like this.
I opened my mouth as I looked at the great warrior of the sun.
“Your strength…you’re overdoing it.”
“Whew-”
Hearing Kaleina’s words, Dio put his hands on his knees and took a deep breath.
It was Kaleina who was being attacked just a moment ago, but for some reason, the battle unfolded as if Dio was being pushed back.
‘Is it really a level issue? I tried my best, but I couldn’t even break through the shield.’
Dio was shaken by the sight of Kaleina, who seemed flawless compared to any enemies he had seen so far.
When you activate the active skill of the Power of Faith, you will gain 10 times the passive ability given.
And since it lasted in proportion to the number of Solari believers, it lasted about 15 minutes.
During this short period of time, D.O. was on top of his game.
But in the end, it was too much.
From the beginning, Dio knew that it was impossible.
‘As expected, it’s not an enemy that can be dealt with just because its stats are high.’
There was no way Dio would be able to defeat Kaleina alone in a situation where even if everyone worked together to raid, it wouldn’t be enough.
Moreover, isn’t Kaleina, who we’re dealing with now, a transcendent being who can completely control the power of the Demon King?
Hook –
As soon as Kaleina raised her right arm, a huge wind blew.
Due to the unusual wind, Dio quickly raised his head, took out his shield, and hid behind it.
Kagagak-!
“damn.”
The shield quickly became useless.
Dio held his sword tightly again.
It was a shame that I reacted so quickly, but Kaleina’s attack was so threatening that my entire head almost flew off.
‘It’s dangerous to confront them in their current state.’
For about 15 minutes when Dio activated the power of faith, Dio clearly had the upper hand.
But Kaleina saw right through it.
This means that the great power that can be gained through the power of faith does not last long.
So Kaleina made up her mind and defended against Dio’s attack.
As a result, the situation reversed immediately after the skill’s duration ended.
Quagwagwang!
Kaleina’s attack was fierce.
Every time she swung her arm, the magic fired felt like the power of Luna and the power of the Demon King alternately.
And in between, the attacks, which were the chaos of the two forces combined, were also mixed together.
Quang!
Dio rolled on the floor awkwardly as the gray flames hit the floor.
And Kaleina sneered at Dio’s appearance like that.
“Daejeon Temple is in such a bad state. I tried to deal with all of your colleagues at once, but…”
As Kaleina clapped her hands, something began to tear open space above her head.
Chijijijijik –
Sparks flew in the empty air, like what happens when high heat is applied to metal.
And a triangle was drawn as if the space had been cut out with scissors.
[Triangle Absolute].
This attack, in which each line forming the triangle had a different color, gave off an unusual aura.
“I’ll definitely kill you first.”
Kaleina’s will to destroy her opponent without fail.
As if these were not empty words, powerful mana began to gather in the center of the triangle created by Kaleina.
* * *
Triangle Absolute.
Her exclusive skill that only Kaleina can use.
However, the Triangle Absolute that Kaleina is using now does not contain only Luna’s power.
A storm of mana that has become more powerful with the added power of the Demon King.
Pajijijijik –
A strange phenomenon was created where it seemed as if all the surrounding energy was converging on Kaleina’s hand.
Seeing that, Dio slowly lowered his sword.
It is not an attack that can be prevented by blocking.
It is not an attack that can be avoided just because it can be avoided.
But for some reason, Dio’s expression was something new that he had never shown to Kaleina before.
It’s just relief.
The reason Dio was relieved to put down his weapon was not because he sensed defeat.
Tiririririririririn!

At the same time as the quest completion notification sound given by the system came to mind, the notification window notifying me of leveling up continued to sound.

You can use [Absolute Power].
The reason why Dio stood still even while Kaleina was preparing the final attack.
This was because his colleagues completed the quest on Dio’s behalf.
Kaleina’s expression quickly hardened as if she had noticed Dio’s changed mood.
She had no idea why Dio suddenly became stronger.
“Did you say the search war is over? I’m sorry…”
Dio slowly opened his mouth to the frozen Kaleyna.
“I guess I’ll have to start over again.”
