Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 11

Episode 11

Dio recalled getting the mercenary card at the ‘Tarot Temple’, a place related to the Holy Kingdom that disappeared in the distant past.

‘The core of the update is the ancient sacred kingdom that has now disappeared. And the area and related monster items all must have had an impact.’

It’s not a coincidence.

Due to the impact of the patch, items related to the ancient sacred kingdom also changed.

The random mercenary cards previously obtained now have a special use.

‘It was a quest item! A quest to solve existing unresolved issues!

I don’t know why she failed as a Holy Knight.

Dio doesn’t know what happened then.

However, it is a song filled with longing.

If her religion was love and not God, all the puzzles would fit together.

I found the answer.

Now all Dio has to do is quickly review the answer sheet to be submitted.

Becoming a Death Knight ultimately means being cursed, but there is no need to know what that process is right now.

It is important that even though Adelia was cursed, she waited for salvation and waited for someone.

Something she wants to wait for even after she dies.

What if it’s love and not God?

—————

[Old Class A Mercenary Card]

Contents: A card that proves that you are a mercenary who has gone beyond being a veteran and has risen to the rank of expert.

The owner of the old and damaged mercenary badge may have a story about a loved one waiting for him for a long time.

—————

Thinking any more is a waste of time.

Dio assured that what was waiting for ‘Adelia’ in front of him was love and took out his mercenary card.

Death Knight reacts immediately when Dio takes out the mercenary card.

No, it is Adelia Darc, presumed to be the first sword of the Holy Kingdom.

[Ahh….]

A creepy voice was heard from beneath the jet-black helmet that covered the Death Knight’s face.

Clink –

You can’t tell what kind of expression the Death Knight is making because of the helmet that is obscured.

However, the way he trembled with both hands and even dropped his sword was a reaction that clearly contrasted with the first time.

[The Paladin’s first wish was satisfied.]

[Adelia’s ‘wait’ was satisfied and she was qualified to reach the path of truth.]

With the system notification sound, the Death Knight took off his helmet.

Half of Adelia’s face looked like an undead, with only bones remaining.

However, it had not yet decayed, and it was possible to get a glimpse of what she looked like when she was alive through the rotted and crusty outer skin.

Adelia’s mouth opens.

Were you influenced by the atmosphere? Dio no longer found her voice scary and creepy.

[The world fell at my feet. The new era was covered with oblivion.]

She was victorious.

In countless wars.

I fought and waited endlessly for my country and for God.

[Do you still love me? Even when I am thirsty for blood and my skin is rotting away?]

“Uh…huh?”

Dio blurted out nonsense, confused as to whether Adelia’s lines were addressed to him or if she was just complaining to herself.

[My life is nothing but a soul stained with death and becoming sick.]

“Uh…”

Adelia continued, coming closer to Dio, who was just stupidly opening his mouth.

‘How do I know that? ‘I’m not even a party!’

In response to Adelia’s incomprehensible question, Dio blurted out what he wanted to say.

But now is the time to focus.

Dio decided that he had reached the core of the ‘dialogue’.

[You saved me between light and darkness.]

Adelia’s breathing became faster and her tone changed.

[Your soul, as white as winter, made me shiver.]

Adelia speaks as if she were a lover waiting for Dio.

What can we learn from Adelia’s changed tone and lines?

What is the most appropriate answer for this timing?

Is it right to play the lover that Adelia misses?

no. You shouldn’t do that.

Dio did not forget.

Adelia’s two wishes.

Dio is now a dispatcher. The messenger and Adelia’s lover should not be identified.

“I am not the one you are waiting for.”

Adelia’s trembling stopped at Dio’s words.

“I just…”

[I know.]

Adelia cut Dio off.

Dio’s choice was right.

She already knows.

That Dio is simply a soldier who succeeded in his mission as a dispatcher.

And that he was just someone who brought a keepsake for himself.

[I know….]

Are you saying that you know that Dio is not your lover?

Or does it mean that she knows that the person she is waiting for is already dead?

It doesn’t matter what it means.

Dio was confident that he had successfully led the conversation by simply accepting what he said instead of rejecting it.

There is no need for further conversation.

Dio grabbed Adelia’s cold gauntlet.

A mercenary card in her hand.

This is the best option that D.O. can offer right now.

Just handing over the memento of the person she had been waiting for so long.

Even though Adelia’s face was not intact, Dio could see it.

The way she smiles faintly.

Adelia knelt in front of Dio and looked up at the sky.

[Oh God. When I transcend death, please send my man to paradise.]

Adelia, who is praying, looks at Dio again.

[He is my sun.]

Adelia’s voice becomes quieter.

[My flower.]

Adelia’s toes stiffened. Her body becoming increasingly petrified.

Adelia spoke her last words as she returned to the same statue as before.

[My…]

[Truth.]

Suddenly,

the mercenary card she was holding dear fell to the floor.

Tiring!

[The story of the Fallen Paladin has been completed.]

[Quest completed!]

[Reward – Obtained the Vengeful Sword of the Ancient Dead.]

[Hidden achievement achieved!]

[Reward – Obtained . ]

[The user’s state is reorganized as new characteristics are added.]

“What?”

Fuaaaaaaaaaa!

A red energy instantly surrounded Dio along with a system message.

“Huh!?”

D.O. did not let go of his tension until the end.

However, he was unable to withstand the red energy pressing on Dio’s mind and immediately lost consciousness.

* * *

An unfamiliar tent caught my eye.

“Hmm…”

Dio opened his eyes and raised his upper body with a groan.

“Monte!”

Dio quickly glanced at the surrounding situation while holding his head ringing from the high-pitched voice full of worry.

Clara must have nursed him in a temporary tent set up by mercenaries.

“Everyone! “Monte has woken up!”

Clara shouts as she pulls down the tent.

When Dio came to his senses, overcoming the aching pain all over his body, he could see the mercenaries completely removing the tent.

“You’re awake!”

“Brother! “I was worried!”

“I’m so glad.”

“I believed it! Monte! “You caught that ruthless bastard single-handedly!”

Clara is crying with the mercenaries who survived the terrifying encounter with the Death Knight.

Death Knight’s secondary gimmick is that it takes place in a special space that cannot be seen from the outside.

Clara, who was first knocked out by the shock wave, just stamped her feet as she relayed the last image of Dio, who was about to engage in a decisive battle with the Death Knight, to the mercenaries.

There was nothing they could do but pray until the situation was over.

After waiting, they found Dio, who had fainted, and the Death Knight, who had returned to his statue.

Dio felt relieved as he fumbled with the mask he had briefly taken off for the quest.

‘I guess you didn’t touch the mask.’

My memory was vague, but I guess I rewrote it somehow before I collapsed.

My body was in a strange and contradictory state, feeling drained yet full of vitality.

Dio frowned as he tried to remember the last memory.

I think I saw something before I fell…

Dio, who was trying to recall his memories, opened his mouth to the noisy mercenaries.

“I am okay. “Can you please leave me alone for a moment?”

“oh! yes! Guys, what are you doing! “Without giving up your seat!”

At Dio’s words, Raymond left the place, taking Clara and the mercenaries with him.

After confirming that they were leaving, Dio immediately brought up the status window and opened the notification list.

‘Acquired an item?’

Dio, who found a new item in his inventory, immediately opened a window.

—————

[Ancient Dead’s Ghost Sword]

Binded item

level limit 350

special limit ???

—————

‘I’ve never seen an item like this… Besides, why are special restrictions a question mark?’

In all of the hundreds of rounds I’ve played, I’ve never heard or seen a Death Knight drop a sword like that.

There are too many changes.

I tried to think of existing quests related to the ancient Holy Kingdom, but it is difficult to recall them all with Dio’s memories.

With the vast amount of data, it was difficult to find information about the now forgotten temple.

‘Still, the key point is that it is an ancient sacred nation. If there’s anything to be gained from this…’

Perhaps because I’m overthinking it, my normal thinking circuit doesn’t work.

“Damn it.”

Dio cursed out of his mouth without realizing it.

If these unknown things continue to appear, we don’t know how far the impact will go.

As the advantage of stagnant water disappears, the struggle to survive becomes more difficult.

…But what can you do?

Since you decide to live in this world, you must do your best.

First, solve the problem at hand.

‘The unexpected threat was overcome. But the most important thing still remains.’

D.O. finished checking his condition by clenching and unclenching his fist a couple of times.

When I heard the story, it was said that the mission was canceled because he fainted for an entire day.

Dio came out of the tent and gathered all the mercenaries to complete the suspended mission.

“The priest carries out his mission with mercenaries.”

“What about Monte?”

Clara asked back what Dio said, and Dio answered her question with a smile.

“I have some work to finish.”

* * *

“Um… I don’t feel any energy. “Monte said he solved it, but I don’t know why the Death Knight woke up.”

Clara opened her mouth as she looked at the Death Knight statue that had returned to its original state.

Afterwards, Clara began to look around the forgotten temple, and the mercenaries followed her and escorted her.

Dio turned his attention to the group walking away and began to climb the altar of the forgotten temple.

‘Luckily my former teacher is doing well.’

The Book of Changes, which responded as a condition of the Hidden Quest, was quietly placed in Dio’s inventory at some point.

After confirming that, Dio nodded and continued his thoughts.

‘Now that we’ve solved the Guardian, there will definitely be no more problems.’

Even if there are any left, there is no reason why Dio, who solved even the Guardian, can’t get through it.

Dio stood in front of an old altar that clearly showed traces of a long period of time.

An item that responded to a hidden quest.

I’m sure you can get the hidden class from the altar here.

There are no more worries or hesitations.

Dio immediately knelt in front of the altar, took out the Book of Changes, and used it.

The previous book glowed blue.

“Ugh!”

Dio groaned as he felt a burning pain in his chest.

Soon, red energy comes out of Dio’s whole body.

The energy came together and created the shape of the weapon used by the Death Knight, the ‘Ghost Sword of the Forgotten Dead’.

‘This is the energy that came in when you hit me with the sword.’

Whirik –

The shape changed again into the form of a long sword, a short sword, a bow, an ax, a hammer, a spear, a cube, a sphere, a stick, a necklace, a ring, a staff, and all kinds of tools, and finally it turned into a key.

‘Huh?’

Shapes that change into many colors.

Dio, who was staring at it blankly, broke into a cold sweat from the burning pain and watched as the key was inserted into the book of former students and slowly turned.

As soon as the blue book of former students gradually turned red, a notification window rang.
