Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 155
Episode 155
‘Was the escape prevented?’
As Dio watched Deathrugger, who was venting his anger, he could see that Sepia’s interference had been successful.
Descruger’s escape pattern.
This is one of the patterns that he always uses when he is cornered.
Liches on the Order Board are considered one of the monsters that players do not want to deal with.
‘Teleportation is such a scam.’
It was safe to say that the teleportation he used within the demon realm had almost no restrictions, such as distance limits or casting time.
When Deathrugger’s health falls below a certain level, it uses various debuff spells and then escapes from the battlefield.
When the remaining players on the battlefield are enduring debuffs such as curse, bleeding, sleep poison, etc.
Deathrugger quickly recovers mana through the Life Vessel and returns to the battlefield in an instant.
So the players have to face Deathrugger again, who has regained his strength in an exhausted state.
If this is not resolved, the difficulty of attacking Descruger will double.
Even if it is possible to catch it a few times, you have to keep doing it over and over again.
“sepia. are you okay?”
“yes. But I don’t think I’ll be able to use my strength for a while.”
Dio approached Sepia, who had successfully blocked Deathcruger’s teleportation, and checked her condition.
The way to attack the escape pattern is to destroy the magic circle created by Deathrugger in advance, or if that is not possible, destroy it midway.
It wasn’t a magic circle that could be blocked just by being proficient in magic.
The magic circle created by Deathrugger itself has evil dark properties.
In other words, since it is covered with demonic energy, it can be blocked only by exerting equivalent divine power.
If you can add divine power to your mana, you can much more easily suppress or control the demonic energy around you.
Only sepia can do this.
However, in order to successfully interfere with this, there is a problem that Sephia’s mana amount must be similar to that of Deathcruger.
Deathrugger is of a much higher level than Sepia, and the power he uses is different enough to not be affected by Sepia’s declaration of sanctuary.
To solve this problem, Dio delivered one item to Sepia.
[Provision of the Sun]
This legendary bracelet item grants the wearer the [Mana Storage] ability.
In addition, thanks to the Sun’s Blessing skill, the effect has also increased.
Through this, Sephia was able to use more mana than she possessed and was able to neutralize the magic circle covered with Deathcruger’s magical energy.
It was something Dio had meticulously planned even before the expedition departed, and was ultimately able to successfully stop it.
‘If the teleportation is cut off…now there is only one pattern he can use.’
Descruger, who realizes that escape is impossible, is willing to fight with the other person.
It’s just self-destruction.
The way Deathcruger self-destructs is quite unique, but it is not a problem at all for Dio, who knows this in advance.
“You have what I gave you, right?”
“yes.”
In response to Sepia’s answer, Dio nodded and turned his gaze towards Deathrugger, who was struggling for the last time.
Deathcruger whose teleportation magic circle misfired.
While he was angry, Galeto and Elaine were seen fiercely attacking him again.
Bubble bubbling!
Deathcruger’s condensed magic energy hits all directions.
Galeto, caught in the explosion, tumbled, and Elaine directly fought in close combat to strike the Deathcruger hidden behind a black curtain.
Pabababak!
Quagwagwagwang!
Elaine’s main weapon is a bow, but that does not mean she is weak in close combat.
Rangers’ agility is said to be the best among all classes.
Therefore, rangers who have reached the transcendental level can use close combat that is powerful enough to rival that of the warrior class.
Throw in!
In Elaine’s hand, wading through the cloud of dust from the explosion, was a Khopesh with a scythe-like curved blade.
Pakang!
Let’s go!
Elaine’s nosepiece broke Deathcruger’s shield and grazed his face.
The horrifying sound of scraping bones rang out, but Deathrugger responded to Elaine’s speed.
Deathcruger, who realized that the Life Vessel was gone, desperately avoided Elaine’s attack.
Quagwagwagwang!
Descruger grabs Elaine’s outstretched arm and unleashes magical energy.
However, Elaine suppressed Descruger’s magical energy by surrounding her body with a spirit.
A forest spirit who loves elves.
The forest spirit that Elaine contracted with showed strong enough power to push away Deathrugger, even though it was in an environment where it could not exert its power.
Elaine pushed again towards Descruger, who was unable to move at close range, and Galetto also stood up again and participated in Elaine’s pincer attack.
Burbubbuk!
Quagwagwagwang!
Has Descruger finally gotten tired?
It was slowly collapsing under the two men’s attacks.
Recognizing this, Elaine and Galletto launched even more powerful attacks, but only Dio knew that their thoughts were wrong.
“It’s over!”
Quad deuk!
Galetto’s fist crushed Descruger’s chest so hard that the sound of bones crushing rang out.
It would be safer for Deathcruger, whose Life Vessel has disappeared, to widen his distance to block the opponent’s attack.
But Descruger didn’t do that.
This was like a foreshadowing that Descruger would push ahead with the final pattern, Donggwijin.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of… Do you think you won??]
Descruger’s shout echoes through everyone.
[Can you overcome death like me? Try it once. Eternal rest!]
Tsupat!
The cry of a lich who experienced death.
This was not just a threat.
It was Deathcruger’s last order for the end.
A dream environment that
makes you fall into a dream of death has begun.
* * *
The great magic that Archmage Kruger gained by awakening to ‘death’ was none other than a dream.
Because an eternal dream means death.
Eternal Rest is also a magic designed by Descruger.
It was a unique magic that only he could use, and dream worlds also had the same kind of power.
Making not only yourself but everyone around you fall into an eternal dream.
Unlike Eternal Rest, which simply causes one to fall asleep, Dream Environment directly harms the other person.
Deathrugger forces you to dream through a dream environment, which is directly connected to reality.
The worst debuff called ‘destruction of the phenomenon’ is applied to the target who is consumed by the dream environment.
The destruction of the phenomenon is so terrifying that the body itself melts into demonic energy and disappears without a trace.
Once the reality of reality melts away and the soul is forever trapped in a dream environment, it cannot be revived by any means.
Grumble –
Descruger, who was pierced by Elaine’s nose and Galetto’s fist.
His entire body began to melt and flow, and a thick fog quickly spread around him.
“Ugh?”
“Oh no!”
Elaine and Galletto quickly covered their noses and mouths, but it was no use.
Compared to the Eternal Rest, the sleeping gas of the dream environment was sad and penetrated deep into the exposed skin of Elaine and Galetto.
Saaaaaa-
The shallow wind spread the gas that creates a dreamy environment in all directions.
“Huh huh!”
The duration of the highest-grade resistance potion used to pass the Eternal Rest had already expired.
Even in an urgent wartime situation where adrenaline was surging, the power of the dream environment made Elaine and Galletto infinitely helpless.
It wasn’t just that I felt helpless.
Galle felt his insides boiling.
Through this, Galletto had an intuition.
If you fall asleep here, even the body that supports your mind will melt away without a trace.
Just like Deathrugger, who has now melted away before my eyes.
“Anyway…try it!”
Elaine also knelt down and used her bow as a pillar to support herself and shouted at Dio.
If Dio had solved the Eternal Rest, it was Elaine who thought there would definitely be a way this time too.
But that’s just Elaine’s wish.
The dream environment seemed to have affected not only Elaine and Galletto, but also Dio and Sepia, who were a little distance away, and they were also staggering.
“Damn it…they got hit too. Hey, wake up! “If you fall asleep, you’ll die!”
Elaine forced herself to raise her voice to shake off sleep, but the dream environment, as if laughing at her efforts, only made her more and more dazed. The first to
fall
were Dio and Sepia.
They had used up all their strength because they were fighting Deathcruger.
Now, it is clear that Saint Kaleina can easily complete the mission given to the five swords.
Still, Elaine couldn’t lift a finger.
It was all I could do to keep from falling into a dream.
* * *
Galetto was holding on with his fist touching the ground.
But Galletto’s trembling arms showed that he could barely hold on.
This is perhaps natural.
Dream Environment is a skill that even Descruger with a healthy Life Vessel is reluctant to use.
Dream environment is a heinous magic that can put even Deathcruger, who has immortality as a Life Vessel, in danger.
Rather, the fact that Galletto can endure to this extent can be seen as truly remarkable.
However, even though Galletto was a transcendental person with crazy mental power, he soon began to show that he had reached his limits.
“Damn it….”
Galletto, who was somehow able to hold on to his dazed mind, muttered indignantly.
The battle of his life was something he was happy about, but as Galletto, he did not want to die like this.
Even Galletto would have been satisfied if he had endured this and died heroically amidst the pain of blood splattering and flesh being torn.
But this kind of death was not what Galletto wanted.
It was Galletto who had experienced more pleasure than he could have imagined by receiving Deathcruger’s magic with his whole body.
But it ends with me falling into sleep so helplessly.
‘Like this… in vain…’
After this expedition, only the fight he so desperately wanted was waiting for him, so Galletto looked forward to that day and looked forward to it endlessly.
Galletto looked around with bleary eyes.
Elaine is holding on like she is.
But it seems like she has reached her limit now.
And I was able to see Dio, who had high expectations for me.
He has already collapsed and is sleeping as if he is dead.
‘….’
There was nothing Galetto could do in this hopeless situation.
Let alone a fierce battle, he could not even carry out the mission of the church on his own.
Now it is even difficult to lament to oneself.
Just when Galletto, who sensed the end, was about to give himself up to a dreamy environment.
“Kolok kolok.”
Dio and Sepia thought that they were probably in a dream.
They began to slowly stand up, coughing.
Galetto looked at Dio in disbelief.
“How is your condition?”
“I don’t have any problem.”
“But don’t take a deep breath. “Protect your body as much as possible with your remaining mana.”
We can hear their conversation treating the dream environment as simply a foreign object.
‘What happened? Did you endure it? Acrich’s magic that even I can’t withstand?’
For a moment, Galeto seemed to come to his senses, but it was only Galeto’s illusion.
As the dream became more and more severe, Galeto mustered up his last remaining strength and raised his head.
“Hey…me…”
Galletto couldn’t finish his request for help.
Deathrugger oxidized himself for the dream dog, and the only ones around here who came to their senses were Dio and Sepia.
Grinning –
Even in his daze, Galletto was able to see clearly.
Dio smiles an eerie smile.
Only then did Galletto realize.
Galetto had been forgotten for a while as he was dealing with their common enemy, Acrich.
Dio and the Luna Church have a hostile relationship.
The common enemy, Acrich, has been oxidized and no longer exists.
And Elaine and Galletto are incapacitated.
This was the best environment for Dio.
It is an environment in which five hostile swords can be dealt with.
