Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 66
Episode 66:
Part of Crassus was dissatisfied with the sun.
Why didn’t the sun protect the world tree?
Even if the collusion between the Demon King and Luna was discovered too late, it is a self-evident fact that the sun was ultimately defeated.
The elves, who only had the World Tree, had no choice but to be dissatisfied with the sun.
It was perhaps natural that, apart from Crassus, some elves who knew the truth also turned their backs on the sun.
However, only Crassus followed the will of the World Tree and stood on the side of the sun.
I always wanted to give up.
It was despairing that he had to destroy the World Tree with his own hands.
But I think I know now.
‘You…didn’t abandon us.’
Crassus could feel the glow radiating from Nidhogg.
This means that the goddess respects the will of the World Tree.
What the world tree desires.
That is the prosperity and abundance of the elves. And peace.
To do so, he had to sacrifice himself, and Solari understood this.
Crassus reprimanded himself for doubting Dio.
Isn’t this sacred and pious something like the representative of God?
Crassus made a promise.
According to the will of the Goddess, I will definitely complete my mission by following the will of the World Tree.

[‘Nidhogg’ → ‘Nidhogg of the Sun’ strengthening completed!]
It seemed as if the disaster spewing out from Nidhogg was instantly purified.

Description: An arrow made from the teeth of a dragon called the Calamity of Mana.
It is said that its teeth, imbued with powerful poison, can rot all things and even destroy mana.
—————
I wondered if it was a good thing that Nidhogg’s poison, which destroys the mana hall, had been diluted, but after looking at the explanation of the strengthened Nidhogg, there was no particular problem.
Rather, the additional condition that no one could use it was a much better option from Crassus’s perspective.
Even if a powerful weapon is taken away by enemies, they will not be able to use it carelessly.
‘Anyway, why is this like this?’
Dio reverently received Nidhogg and looked at Crassus, who was soaked in sentiment, as if it were a burden.
Seeing him kneel down, it seems like he’s overthinking something…
Dio wanted to tell Crassus, who received Nidhogg, to train him, but he didn’t necessarily act tactfully.
Dio turned his back on Crassus, who seemed to be praying.
And then he approached Sephia, who was looking confused from a distance.
“Dio. What happen? “This is the first time I’ve seen Crassus do something like that.”
“I just gave you a gift. “I guess he was impressed.”
“Don’t play around.”
Sephia urges Dio, who is speaking indifferently.
“Really. I asked him to train me like you, but he said no, so I gave him a gift. And then it looked like that.”
“Training? Dio, will you also learn from Crassus?”
“why? I wish I could get stronger quickly. Are you dissatisfied?”
“It’s not like that…”
Sephia muttered, looking at Crassus, who couldn’t have reacted like that to a simple gift.
This is the judgment that Sepia came to after looking at the person named Crassus for the past two weeks.
He is a cool-headed person who does not like to show his emotions.
However, Sephia almost felt uncomfortable and awkward as Crassus was thrilled by what kind of magic Dio had used.
“Anyway, how about you?”
“yes? What?”
Sepia made an incomprehensible expression in response to Dio’s question.
“What is it? “Can you use the power of the sun?”
“ah.”
Instead of answering Dio’s words, Sepia picked up the crystal recurve bow that was lying on one side.
“What are you doing?”
“I’ll show you.”
Sephia smiled quite brightly and aimed her bow at a target that seemed to be quite far away.
“You’re not trying to show off your strength, are you?”
“Can you please be quiet?”
“yes.”
As he said, Dio watched Sephia pulling the bowstring with great interest.
‘far.’
Approximately 100 meters away.
However, with Sephia at its current level, it would be possible to shoot it to that distance with pure force alone.
However, if you focus on whether that power is useful, well…?
Uuuuung –
At that moment, light began to condense from Sepia’s bow.
From that warm energy, Dio could tell that the power created by Sepia was definitely the power of the sun.
Liquid-!
‘hmm? ‘Just barely…’
The arrow that Sepia shot flew normally.
However, as if that wasn’t just an attempt to show off, an intense light emanated from the arrow’s feather as it advanced, giving momentum.
‘crazy.’
phut!
The arrow, accelerated by the power of the sun, hit the target at a speed so fast that Dio missed it.
‘That’s right in the center. What did that guy teach you….’
“Crassus releases the power of the sun right away, but I guess my body can’t bear it because I’m still weak.”
Sepia opened her palm, which had not yet healed, and showed it to Dio.
“So, by shooting a powerful medium and releasing it midway, the power can be increased without putting any strain on the body.”
“…okay. It happens as you think. I’m glad.”
Only then did Dio discover numerous arrows stuck in the wall.
And once again, I saw Sepia’s palms covered in scars.
Applying the power of the sun to fill your own shortcomings is not an easy task.
You’ve probably practiced it thousands of times.
“You worked hard. Good job.”
“That’s Okay. It’s natural. “Because I learned it from Crassus.”
Sepia blushed and responded curtly to Dio’s sincere praise, perhaps out of embarrassment.
‘Is this also an ability given to the incarnation of Solari?’
I already knew that Sepia’s learning ability was excellent.
However, in addition to that, I never thought he would have an outstanding ability to reinterpret the skills he learned as his own.
“But what happened to the runaway? “Now that you have control over power, can you control it?”
Dio asked, remembering the most important part of Sephia.
Only now has it been revealed that Sepia’s unknown power is the power of the sun, but that doesn’t mean the problem has been resolved.
“We haven’t solved that yet. Even Crassus didn’t seem to know.”
“okay?”
A problem that not even Crassus could solve…
This was like saying that Sepia’s abilities were greater than expected or that they could be dangerous.
“But just in case, she asked me to talk to the Witch of Balance again.”
Tiring!
—————
[Quest] Meet the Witch of Balance.
Contents: In the eastern part of the continent, there is a Witch of Balance.
If you meet the Witch of Balance and grant her a favor, you will be able to ask her for help in difficult situations.
Reward: Sepia class revealed.
—————
Dio’s eyes widened at the sudden sound of the system notification sound.
‘quest?’
I didn’t know that a quest would arise from Sepia’s conversation.
Thinking that it might be a quest exclusively for Sepia, the contract holder of the liberation pact, Dio read the contents slowly.
‘It is clear that the Witch of Balance is the answer.’
The reward clearly states that Sepia’s class has been revealed.
Dio was a little excited when he was able to confirm Sephia’s occupation, which had been kept secret until now.
‘As the Witch of Balance, I feel like I have to grant her a favor…’
I think I will only find out the details of the request when I meet the Witch of Balance.
If the job is revealed as a quest reward, additional abilities may also be provided.
“Then…”
Since there was nothing to do right now, I was about to go outside with Sephia, thinking of looking for the Witch of Balance.
“for a moment.”
Dio turned around when he heard Crassus’ voice calling him.
Crassus is seen holding Nidhogg and making a determined expression.
Dio could vaguely anticipate what he would say.
“I’m sorry for doubting you. “It must be the goddess’s will for you to become stronger.”
‘It will happen a long time ago. I was scared for no reason.’
Dio shouted hurray inwardly, but did not express it outwardly.
‘I’m sorry it seems like I’m deceiving you. ‘It seems like he thinks it’s good, so there won’t be a problem.’
It is easy to deceive a person who has longed for one thing for a thousand years.
This was what D.O thought when he was Junwoo and saw people falling victim to cults.
Desperation clouds a person’s judgment.
Crassus also belonged to this group.
The stories about the goddess’s will and all were made up by Dio on the spot.
However, Dio did not feel very guilty.
In any case, he is in the dangerous position of having to deal with the Demon King and Luna at the same time on behalf of Solari, the goddess of the seven stars.
‘I’m not in a position to hide things.’
Dio’s eyes lit up at the thought of being able to learn Crassus’ skills.
“Do you want to start right now?”
“okay. “I already called him.”
“Who?”
“ah!”
Dio had doubts about Crassus’ answer.
Isn’t Crassus training you?
Unlike Dio, who was curious, Sephia opened her mouth as if she knew what Crassus was doing.
“It looks like Dio is going into action right away.”
“Practical? “Are you going to invite me to play against you?”
“I’ll know it when I see it.”
Dio, who could not find a clear answer even in Sepia’s conversation, was soon able to see another seven stars that had arrived in the usurper’s room.
Diriling~
“Haha! “It’s nice to see you again soon.”
Dio became even more confused when he saw Kalphael appearing with a bright smile playing the lute.
‘Why is that guy again?’
Dio was nervous about the reunion of Kalphael, the most mysterious of the seven stars he had ever met.
“Do you need my help? Mr. Crassus?”
“Didn’t I already tell you?”
Crassus grunted as he put the purple orb, presumed to have summoned Kalphael, in his arms.
‘Is it the Jeonseo-gu type? It seems that there can be light communication between the seven stars in Temberg.’
Dio quickly figured out how Crassus called Kalphael.
Well, that’s it.
I still don’t know why Kalfael is needed for training.
“Then let’s start right away?”
“Wait. “What are you starting?”
widely!
Kalfael smiled and snapped his fingers at Dio, who asked urgently.
Whoa!
Darkness came in an instant.
However, it was different from the dark spaces Dio had experienced so far.
Since ancient times, humans need light to discern something with their eyes.
However, even though it was clearly a space without light, Dio was able to clearly identify people.
Sepia Crassus Calphael.
“What is this…?”
“I heard it from Schuwald. “Your fighting skills are already perfected.”
Crassus opened his mouth to Dio, who was unable to adapt to the strange phenomenon.
“If Schwald says so, there is no need to teach you my movements. Then there is only one thing for you to learn.”
Deering~
As Kalfael played the lute again in accordance with the story of Crassus,
cracks
began to form in the darkened space.
‘This…’
Dio noticed that the world created by Kalphael was a virtual space as the space was cracking.
A red world appearing within a torn space.
The gradually widening red background completely removed the dark world and covered everything around it.
‘The ability to manipulate space surpasses that of an archmage… Does that mean Kalfael is that skilled?’
Dio was nervous, but quickly calmed down when he thought that Sephia had also gone through this process.
Meanwhile, the world Kalfael had created was still changing.
The red world that cleared the darkness began to gather again into the cracked space.
Wow –
a blue portal was eventually created.
Dio sensed that the portal in front of him was not simply a passage leading somewhere.
No, there is no need to have intuition…
-Kyaoooo!
-Krrrrr…
It was easy to notice when looking at the numerous demonic beasts visible beyond the portal.
‘Are you making me fight imaginary enemies?’
Dio looked at Crassus.
Then Crassus pointed to the portal with his head as if asking Dio what he was doing.
‘good. Let’s check how great the training is.’
Dio checked his status through the system and walked towards the portal.
“Be patient. Dio!”
Dio lightly waved his hand as Sepia cheered from behind.
‘hmm? Wait a minute. Instead of saying ‘cheer up’, you say ‘endure’?’
A moment’s question.
After that, the moment Dio’s foot goes through the portal.
His new form was instantly sucked into the portal.
