Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 184

Episode 184:

The saint’s instructions to uncover the secret of a strange stone statue in a forgotten temple and, if that fails, destroy it.

Scarlett’s original plan was to arrive at the Forgotten Temple before sunset.

After preparing well, I accepted the words of the saint who was carrying out the mission and headed to the forgotten temple.

Scarlett was surprisingly more serious about her role as an inquisitor than the other five swords.

The reason is not Luna’s faith.

This is because he can satisfy his sadistic desires without anyone noticing him using Luna’s name.

Scarlett summoned all of her elite and headed to the forgotten temple.

I received a signal from the leader of the Bright Paladins who had been dispatched as an advance party to the Forgotten Temple.

Now that the great warrior of Solari has arrived at the Forgotten Temple, he asks for help to come quickly.

Accordingly, Scarlett quickly divided her forces, thinking that the rumored great warrior was seven years old and had run away.

This was because if he activated the teleportation right now, about half of the troops, including himself, could quickly reach the Forgotten Temple.

Scarlett arrived at the hastily forgotten temple and came face to face with Dio, who seemed to have come to meet her.

The feeling I felt when I met D.O., whom I had heard about through rumors, was ‘surprise.’

It was a surprise that could not be felt by other powerful people, including Sigmund.

Of all the people Scarlett had ever met, the only one who felt this way was Saint Kaleyna of Luna.

‘fun.’

So Scarlett was happy.

It means that someone who can truly enjoy his sadism has appeared before his eyes.

‘Next to him…’

A woman stands guard next to Dio.

The power she felt was too powerful to be ignored, but Scarlett was rather excited.

sepia.

What kind of trick of fate is this?

Scarlett recognized Sepia at a glance and thought to herself.

‘No one will ever know how long I’ve been waiting for this day.’

Scarlett couldn’t contain her joy and happily fantasized about playing with the sepia.

Sepia is called the saint of Solari.

And her only blood relative, Sigmund.

The joy that arose from meeting them as enemies was a joy Scarlett would never give up.

However, the opponents in front of me now are not easy people.

Scarlett had already been warned several times by Kaleyna to be careful.

The battle fanatic Galetto and the final sword, Paul, were also killed by Dio.

But what does that mean?

Scarlett recognized at a glance what kind of people Dio and Sephia were.

Even if the opponent cannot defeat anyone through force, they are things that one does not have a firm belief in.

This soft belief becomes a weakness, and Scarlett was confident that she would never lose to them.

Shaking others with her words is Scarlett’s forte and her joy.

Therefore, even within the Heretic Questioner, they specialize in torture and mental brainwashing.

Even if the provocation didn’t work, it didn’t matter.

Because Scarlett didn’t come here alone.

There are currently as many as 200 paladins deployed to the forgotten temple.

It wasn’t an ordinary paladin either.

Those called Rusty Paladins are people brainwashed by Scarlett herself.

Because their minds have been altered, they only carry out Scarlett’s orders as their top priority.

The fact that she has priority over Luna’s Saint Kaleina means that her standing as a group, not as an individual, is the most outstanding among the five swords.

The number of Rusty Paladins under Scarlett reached nearly 500.

Even though the emergency signal was received and the current power was only half that, it wasn’t that much of a problem for Scarlett.

Rusty Paladin, who is 200 strong, is strong enough to be no match for any knight on the continent.

A power that can instantly occupy or destroy not only the Knights Templar but also most city-states.

So Scarlett enjoyed her pleasure even more leisurely.

Her joy is shaking the other person’s beliefs.

Scarlett exchanged a few words with Dio and got to the point.

Scarlett burst out laughing at the sight of Sephia getting excited and going wild as soon as Sigmund came to the fore.

‘It’s exhilarating.’

It was just as he thought.

Those who have weak beliefs just by looking at them.

It won’t take long to break their spirit.

However, unlike Sepia, Dio was not even shaken when he saw Sigmund.

Rather, he even stepped forward with his sword as if it had nothing to do with whether Sigmund lived or died.

From this, Scarlett could see that Dio had a ruthless personality.

This actually made me less interested, but it didn’t matter.

‘That ruthlessness will be poison to you.’

Scarlett laughed at Dio.

Anyway, Scarlett’s interests were stronger in other areas than in Dio.

Because the person who was most shaken by Sigmund was Sepia, not Dio.

Scarlett smiled as she looked at the shaking Sepia.

A leader who cannot understand the feelings of his colleagues and fights only for himself will not last long.

Through this incident, the seeds of discord were planted among them.

And Scarlett was confident that this would slowly eat away at their lives.

Because everyone I’ve met so far has been like that.

‘I’m going to trample it slowly.’

Scarlett, who was laughing at Sepia who was closing her eyes tightly, looked at Dio, who was burning his fighting spirit alone.

If things were to go as she thought, Sephia would not be able to easily participate in the battle.

In that case, Scarlett only has to deal with Dio.

Just as Scarlett was about to put aside her worries about Sepia and give the order to attack.

Faaah!

The brilliant light emanating from Sepia’s open eyes.

Scarlett narrowed her eyes at this.

Are you really planning to fight alongside Dio now?

Even though his own flesh and blood are captured by me?

‘Are you saying the bond is stronger than I thought? Okay…let’s see how far that goes.’

Although Sepia felt a change in momentum, Scarlett calmly assessed the situation.

Even if Sepia joins right now, it doesn’t change that their forces are strong enough to never be pushed back by them.

If each and every one of them is a powerful Rusty Paladin, no matter how great the warrior of the sun is…

‘You’re going to die here today… hmm?’

Scarlett, who was looking at Dio, flinched for a moment.

I thought Scarlett had definitely driven her opponent into danger.

But she could see Dio smiling for some reason.

* * *

[Contractors who have reached the maximum level of trust will receive a special reward.]

[Contractor-only attribute ‘Faith’ is added to Sephia.]

—————

[Faith […]

The contractee has come to completely trust the master of the oath.

Trust completely negates the penalty to the contractor’s exclusive perks [Obedience], [Bonding], and [Destroy].

Contractors with this trait receive an additional 20% bonus to all stats when acting with their oath master.

A 20% ability bonus is added when following the orders of the Oath Master.

The increased abilities of the contract holder also grant half the effect to the holder of the oath.

—————

‘You’ve decided.’

Dio was relieved to see the system window proving Sepia’s resolve.

I wondered what would happen if I lost the will to run or fight, but fortunately, such an unfortunate incident did not occur.

Rather, Sepia’s reliability has increased and it has even acquired new exclusive features.

It was definitely something to be happy about, but I couldn’t just smile, so I quickly hid my smile.

This is because Sephia’s decision is equivalent to accepting Sigmund’s death.

Moreover, Sigmund ultimately sacrificed himself for Dio and Sepia.

Even to show respect to Sigmund, Dio was unable to congratulate Sephia, who had become stronger.

“sepia.”

“I’m OK.”

Dio nodded at the firm words of Sepia, who had once again made up her mind.

Here, unnecessary consolation may cause Sepia to waver in her resolution.

Dio no longer worried about Sepia and focused on annihilating the enemy in front of him.

“good. “Please give me your blessing.”

“yes.”

Sepia immediately stretched out her hand at Dio’s command.

Faaah!

A crystal ball appeared in Sepia’s open palm.

It was Sepia’s new weapon, the ‘Divine Gem’, taken from the empire’s warehouse.

Paang-!

The shock wave from the divine jewel spread around, and a change occurred in Dio’s body when it touched it.

[The Holy Maiden of the Sun’s exclusive skill ‘Sun’s Determination’ has been applied.]

[All speeds have been increased by 100%.]

[All skill effect bonuses have been increased by 50%.]

[An additional bonus of 20% is added due to contractor-only characteristics. All apply.]

[If the player is on the same battlefield as a Contractor with the ‘Faith’ trait, half the Contractor’s additional bonus is applied.]

‘Crazy.’

Dio could not hide his surprise at his power, which was amplified by Sepia’s skills.

This effect was the same as the ‘Moon Resolution’ used by Kaleina.

Although Sepia’s level was lower, its effectiveness was lower than that used by Kaleina, but the gap was narrowed due to the ‘Faith’ trait.

In other words, the current level of Sephia was equivalent to Kaleina’s abilities.

‘At this level… I think it’s okay to go head-to-head, right?’

Dio smiled to himself as he saw Scarlett glaring at him and Sepia.

Is Scarlett on guard?

No, Scarlett is still letting down her guard.

‘There are 200 Rusty Paladins. Honestly, it’s ridiculous power.’

Among the ranks of Paladins, the strongest was the ‘Mighty Paladin’, reached by Paul Eppenhaus.

And Rusty Paladin was a class located just below Mighty Paladin.

If you compare it to a knight, it means that it is the same level as the sword master.

So it was Dio who couldn’t let down his guard.

No matter how strong Dio was, it was not easy to deal with 200 Rusty Paladins.

‘But…’

The situation has completely changed.

Sepia’s buff has become even more powerful due to the new characteristics granted through strong trust.

The current Dio has become so strong that no matter how many Rusty Paladins there are, there is no problem.

Scarlett knew this too, so she shouted without giving him any more time.

“Kill them!”

Papa papap!

As soon as Scarlett spoke, Rusty Paladin, who was in the front line, kicked his foot at the same time.

Rusty Paladins surrounding Dio in that brief moment.

However, their swords began to crack before they even touched Dio’s body.

Blah blah blah!

Clink!

Twenty Rusty Paladins rushed at Dio.

Their swords cracked and completely shattered at the same time.

“What what?”

Scarlett couldn’t follow Dio’s movements at all.

All that was visible was the moment Dio put the sword he had drawn back into its sheath.

Clap-

Fuaaaaaa!

As Dio fully sheathed his sword, blood spurted out from Rusty Paladin’s neck like a fountain.
