Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 171

There are three representative special moves in

Episode 171: Over the Fantasy.

These were called hacks by players because their power was on a different level.

The first is Nidhogg, a gift from Dio to Crassus.

It is no exaggeration to say that Nidhogg is as powerful as a small nuclear warhead.

Not only does it burn all the mana, but it also devastates the surrounding area.

Even the World Tree that Luna covets was destroyed by Nidhogg’s power, so it would be too much to say more about its power.

The second is the player’s skill ‘Sky Slash’.

Sky Slash is the strongest skill recognized on the order board.

Usually, if the skill name includes ‘slash’, you may think that it is a melee class-only skill.

However, Sky Slash is definitely a common skill.

Regardless of class, when a player uses Sky Slash, the power they possess is released and cuts everything in sight in a straight line.

This is similar to the solar attack shown by Dio, but its power is on a different level.

In the first place, the conditions for using the Sky Slash skill were that the player had to reach max level.

In other words, you must reach level 500 to use it.

Moreover, the difficulty level of learning is ridiculously high.

A skill learned from Swordmaster Gunther by taking the imperial route and increasing intimacy with the emperor.

Even if Gunther teaches you, it is not a skill that Gunther can use.

As the story goes, Gunther reaches a large wall and in the process discovers that there is a level above the Transcendent.

Sky Slash was created to reach the higher level.

However, Gunther is ultimately unable to complete the Sky Slash and passes it on to the player.

It is said that even if you do not simply follow the path of a swordsman, if you surpass the transcendent, you can have a power strong enough to cut down everything.

In any case, as it is a skill that players can use, it comes with significant limitations.

Although it is powerful enough to inflict a critical hit on the Demon King, the skill takes a very long time to cast and has a long cooldown.

In any case, even if Dio acquires it now, it is a skill that he cannot use right away.

And the last nuclear weapon, excluding Nidhogg and Sky Slash, is ‘Light of Sacrifice’, which is a priest-only skill.

This is not as difficult to learn as Nidhogg or Sky Slash.

Nevertheless, even if the player reaches max level with the priest class, he or she never uses ‘Light of Sacrifice’.

This is because the Light of Sacrifice is activated at the cost of the user’s life.

Order board rules.

The more you sacrifice, the stronger you become.

Naturally, the greater the power possessed by the caster who decides to sacrifice themselves.

The power of the Light of Sacrifice also becomes incredibly strong.

Dio recalled the light of sacrifice that responded to the deadly attack used by the Demon King.

The only skill that can block even the Demon King’s special moves.

This is what Paul wants to use now.

If Paul were to use the Light of Sacrifice at such close range, even Dio would definitely not be able to save his life.

But it doesn’t matter.

Because Dio already knew that Paul would use the light of sacrifice to fight to the death.

* * *

‘You immediately give up your life without any room for negotiation.’

Dio looked down at Paul and scratched his head.

In fact, one of the reasons I tried to talk to Paul was because I was concerned about the light of sacrifice.

However, through just a few words of conversation, Dio was able to feel how strong Paul’s faith in Luna was.

From the beginning, Paul showed that he would never listen to anything he said.

Perhaps the plan to find out something through Paul from the beginning was greedy.

And Paul’s attitude is that Dio is aware that this is a very likely action.

‘Then, as per the original plan…’

Now that Paul has cast the Light of Sacrifice, taking his life is no different from suicide.

Paul is dead anyway, and if he were to cut off his head, the divine power he had accumulated would be stimulated and explode quickly.

Dio opened his inventory and looked through the list of items.

Dio has already prepared items suitable for the current situation.

‘found.’

Dio grinned at something he had discovered.

* * *

After Deathrugger died and before Dio and his group began hunting demons in earnest, Dio and Calliope headed somewhere alone.

The place where Dio arrived was none other than Deathrugger’s altar.

It was a hideout created by Descruger himself to revive the Demon King.

Although it was quite far away, it was not a big problem for Dio who was with Calliope.

Moreover, since it was after Elaine was rescued, there was no problem with the liberation oath no longer being separated from the contractees.

“Why did you come here again?”

“I need to check the Demon King’s condition.”

“Descruger is dead too, so there’s nothing to worry about, right?”

“From my common sense, it is impossible to stop the Demon King’s resurrection.”

“Is it inevitable?”

Calliope muttered bitterly at Dio’s words.

It was natural for Calliope to feel helpless because even though she had worked so hard to prevent the Demon King’s resurrection, she had to fight the Demon King in the end.

“Until now, I thought it was inevitable.”

“hmm?”

Calliope, who was thinking about the dark future ahead, raised her eyebrows at Dio’s words.

Calliope believed without a doubt that Dio said that the Demon King’s resurrection could not be prevented.

He was the Key, the Grand Warrior of the Sun, and Solari thought she knew everything about him.

However, the words Dio spoke just now were words that were difficult for Calliope to understand.

Do you want to say that you can defy the inevitability that Solari spoke of?

Seeing Calliope’s distraught expression, Dio looked at her and smiled to himself.

The inevitability of the Demon King’s resurrection is a system in the game created solely based on Dio’s experience as a ‘player’.

It may be impossible to stop the Demon King with Dio’s abilities now, but…

‘I am not alone now.’

Dio recalled the time when he played the order board.

Even then, I defeated Descruger and found the hidden altar here.

But there was nothing more the player could do at this altar.

The place where the Demon King was sealed was clearly hidden underground within this altar, but it was impossible to get to it using the player’s abilities.

It’s not blocked by a barrier or something.

If it’s that kind of obstacle, Nidhogg can easily get through it.

‘What the player needs is a powerful detection spell. Detection magic of at least 9 circle level.’

Users could see that they had to reach at least 9 circles to approach the demon king who was preparing for resurrection.

To summarize, unless you are a wizard of level 450 or higher, you will not be able to find the ‘Devil’s Core’ hidden in this altar.

No matter how much speedrunning the characters did, it was impossible to reach level 450 when Acrich appeared.

No matter how fast you were, level 400 was the limit for dealing with Acrich.

Even if the player gains a higher level and comes back, the Demon King’s core has already been revived to some extent and moves to another location.

But what about today’s D.O.?

‘Even if it’s impossible for me. I have a calliope.’

Dio climbed onto the altar and opened his mouth to Calliope.

“Can we detect it here?”

“Detection? “What should I look for?”

Calliope came up next to Dio, expressing doubt.

Dio grinned while looking at Calliope.

“It is the devil’s core.”

—————

[Rademos’ Core]

Grade: Myth

Category: Unique

Description: Contains the power of the demon king Rademos.

The inherent power is unimaginably powerful.

If the devil’s power is stimulated, it may explode.

—————

Dio looked at the Demon King’s core taken out of the inventory.

Through Calliope’s search, Dio succeeded in retrieving the Demon King’s core hidden in the altar.

D.O. has made the dream strategy that I had only thought about until now a reality.

‘The devil’s core was taken in advance. If this happens, you won’t have to worry about the final scene where the Demon King is resurrected.’

Dio obtained Rademos’ core and thought about its use for several days.

And his thoughts soon reached the ‘Light of Sacrifice’ used by priests, and he realized how to use Rademos’ core.

It was Dio’s first time obtaining Rademos’ core, but thanks to the explanation provided by the system, he was able to clearly see what effect it had.

‘When the devil dies, he explodes his heart.’

The final moments of the Demon King whom Dio defeated several times.

At that moment, the Demon King detonates his own nucleus and attempts to join the player.

Dio assured that the contents of Rademos’ core explained by the system were exactly this.

This means that if Rademos’ core is stimulated, an explosion large enough to cause the Demon King to self-destruct will occur.

Then there is only one way to use it.

Dio looked at Paul and slowly approached him.

The attack type of Light of Sacrifice is very different from the normal attack ability.

In the case of general attack skills, most of them follow the destructive action of inflicting physical shock on the opponent.

However, although it is true that the light of sacrifice explodes, it never spreads.

The light of sacrifice does not spread, but draws in power like a black hole and causes an explosion at its center.

What this means is that if the priest uses the light of sacrifice when the demon king dies.

Like a reaction or antimatter, the demon king’s self-destruction and the light of sacrifice cancel each other out and annihilate each other.

Kiiiiing –

Without even knowing what Dio was doing, Paul’s energy fluctuated more and more violently.

“Run away! “You can’t stop that!”

Dio calmly lowered his head despite Gunther’s call to him and grabbed Paul’s arm, who was unable to move.

“It’s already late. Cough! “You…die with me now.”

Paul laughed at Dio and spoke darkly.

Paul was confident that the light of sacrifice that had already been cast could never be blocked.

“Well…”

Dio sneered as if Paul’s thoughts were wrong.

Then, he unleashed all his power into the light of sacrifice and forced the core of Rademos into his limp hand.

“What you are trying to do is not a sacrifice. “It’s a dog’s death.”

“what? “What is this?”

Paul looked bewildered as he looked at the horrible heart Dio held in his hands.

Coogung- Coogung-

Whose heart is this?

Why is it shaking like it’s alive?

“No matter what you do…”

Paul wanted to tell Dio that it was all useless, but he couldn’t continue until the end.

This ominous heart in his hand.

Because it seemed so dangerous.

Paul twisted his body to somehow shake off his heart.

The moment when, as Paul had hoped, his heart fell out of Paul’s hands and fell to the floor.

“bye.”

Dio gave Paul a brief greeting and stepped back, and Paul had a hunch.

That something was wrong.

“Huh… The saintess’s mission is Cough! “I won’t be able to complete it.”

Tuk-

Kiiiiing-!! At the same time as

Rademos

‘ core touched the floor, the light of sacrifice that Paul had cast also began to activate.

At that moment, Rademos’ core seemed to explode and began to be absorbed into Paul’s body.

Puhak-!

The Light of Sacrifice attracts things that are dangerous to the caster as a priority.

The biggest threat to Paul in this place right now is none other than Rademos’ core.

If the light of sacrifice had any power left after absorbing all of Rademos’ power, it would have pulled even Dio.

However, the power contained in the heart of the Demon King was by no means weak enough to contain all the light of sacrifice.

“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!”

Paul’s body swelled and he writhed in pain, every limb twisting.

“Saint… I’m sorry…”

Now, Rademos’ core and the light of sacrifice exploded at the same time inside Paul’s body.

But was the Demon King’s power even greater?

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

Paul’s body eventually could not endure and exploded in a powerful explosion.

Still, perhaps because the Light of Sacrifice was effective, the explosion did not affect Dio and Gunther, who had already widened the distance between them.

Whioooooooo –

The land of the magic world where silence has come after a brief explosion.

Gunther, who was surprised by all this, opened his mouth to Dio.

“How on earth…how did this happen?”

“I think Kaleyna really wants to kill me.”

The reason Dio assured that Rademos’ core and the light of sacrifice cancel each other out was because he actually saw this on the Order Board.

Paul often used the Light of Sacrifice for the players.

At the time, I thought I was really grateful to Paul…

‘But now we’re enemies, right?’

Dio shook off the useless memories and turned his head to Gunther.

“By the way, what brings you here? You must be very busy.”

As if the fight just now was nothing.

Gunther was at a loss for words when Dio just spoke calmly.
