Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 159


    Episode 159


    A cool breeze enveloped the vast forest.


    Fallen leaves dancing in the wind.


    Children running around with arge stump in the center.


    A leaf fell on the cute palm of one of the children.


    -Eline!


    ine, who was excitedly shaking a leaf, smiled brightly when she heard a voice calling her.


    The person ine loves the most.


    ine jumped off the stump and ran to the person she loved and respected the most.


    “brother!”


    Crassus lifted ine in his arms and rode her on the wooden horse in a familiar manner.


    Memories of when ine was happiest.


    It was none other than taking a walk in the forest with her older brother.


    I walked with him through the dense elven forest and yed with the animals.


    Even all the nts living in the elven forest blessed the Elfinelud siblings for their happiness tost forever.


    However, the eternal happiness that the forest hoped for was not given to ine.


    Suddenly,


    the wind in the forest stopped for a moment.


    ine noticed that Crassus, who had been holding her hand just a moment ago, had disappeared.


    “brother?”


    ine blinked and turned her head here and there to look for Crassus.


    Hahaha!


    The wind blowing through the forest again.


    But it wasn’t the pleasant refreshing breeze it was before.


    The unpleasant smell of coal carried by the wind scared ine, who was still young.


    Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!


    The majestic forest catches fire in an instant.


    At this, the screams of the elves living in the forest echoed everywhere.


    -Aaaah!


    -Everyone run away!


    -mom! dad!


    The me burned fiercely.


    Why does the Elven Forest, which is under the protection of the World Tree, leave that huge fire alone?


    Could it be that there is a problem with the World Tree?


    ine’s anxiety was exactly correct.


    Faaah!


    A huge world tree appeared before ine’s eyes.


    However, the World Tree was different from what ine had always seen.


    The World Tree, which seemed to always maintain its beauty, was on fire.


    “Oppa… where are you?”


    ine looked for Crassus in fear.


    But despite her pathetic calls, Crassus was nowhere to be seen.


    Damn it,


    the pirs of the majestic world tree are slowly falling down.


    Quang!


    The World Tree, whose beautiful blue light had faded, fell down with a loud sound.


    ine could see beyond the thick mes and smoke.


    Crassus with tanned skin.


    Was my skin burned by the hot mes?


    ine stretched out her hand towards Crassus, who looked sad for some reason.


    I believed that my brother woulde running to me like he always did.


    But…


    “It’s Crassus! “That guy burned down the World Tree!”


    “catch!”


    “Catch the traitor!”


    Numerous elves pushed in away and ran towards Crassus.


    It was only then that ine, who had been falling, realized.


    Why the World Tree is on fire.


    This was all done by Crassus.


    Why on earth did that happen?


    Why did Crassus turn his back on his own people?


    For decades after that.


    ine kept asking herself such questions in her mind.


    In the process, doubts faded away and only great hatred remained.


    And I made a promise.


    I promise to punish the traitor with my own hands.


    * * *


    “Huh!”


    ine woke up sweating so much that the floor was wet.


    And then I realized that the vision I had seen so far was a dream.


    Before ine’s eyes, she saw the enemy of the n she hated so much.


    “die!”


    ine, who had only murderous intent left in Crassus, shouted.


    However, ine could not realize her wish to kill Crassus.


    Something was constricting her body and preventing her from moving.


    “I can’t solve this!”


    ine struggled and shouted at the people watching her.


    In response, Dioforted ine and opened his mouth.


    “calm down.”


    “Calm down!” Do you know what that guy did? I burned the World Tree! “The author destroyed everything we had!”


    ine can’t calm down at all.


    Evelyn, who was next to Dio, gave Dio a suggestion with an expression of annoyance.


    “Should I cover my mouth?”


    “No, don’t do that.”


    Dio looked at Crassus, who was looking at in in confusion, and stopped Eveline’s actions.


    It was Eveline’s shadow magic that was currently blocking ine’s movements.


    Of course, it would be difficult to capture ine with Evelyn alone.


    Because ine was much higher level than Evelyn.


    Nevertheless, the reason he was able to stop ine from going on a rampage was because of the help of Dio’s items.


    Among the shackles items, this is an item that can seal even the transcendental.


    It was thanks to the [Sealing Diamond Bracelet].


    ‘It’s a unique item made for interrogation.’


    Dio was confident that ine, who was currently struggling, would not be able to break the chains no matter what he did, so he had no worries about ine’s threats.


    Various measures were taken, but ine had been fighting Deathcruger, so a lot of her strength had been used up.


    ‘It seems like the dream environment haspletely disappeared.’


    Dio watched ine closely and checked her condition.


    After ine fell asleep, Dio took several measures to resolve the curse that had taken root in her body.


    Not only Sepia’s divine power, but also the highest level resistance potion to make sure.


    As a result, she was able to reliably eliminate the ‘destruction of the status quo’ of the dream environment that was covering her mind.


    “You bastard! I’ve been building up my strength for hundreds of years to kill you! “You will definitely die to me today!”


    ine spits out all kinds of curses at Crassus even when she is pinned down.


    And looking at Crassus just listening to this in silence, it was a very strange situation.


    If someone who doesn’t know him sees him tied up, he looks more like Crassus.


    ‘Crassus. It’s quite kind to the family.’


    Dio clearly remembered what it was like when Crassus invaded to destroy the sapling of the World Tree.


    At that time, Crassus may have been filled with a sense of duty, but he did not show his sister the same affectionate expression as he does now.


    ‘Well, it must be a lot different now.’


    Dio fought Crassus on the same side as ine.


    At that time, in personally stopped Crassus, but now the situation is very different.


    Without giving ine a chance to stop him, Crassus quickly destroyed the World Tree in her absence using the information provided by Dio.


    ‘Polluted world tree. ‘How can we make ine believe this?’


    When Dio killed Crassus for a quest rted to the World Tree, he was able to hear the background about ine.


    So, although this situation was fully understandable now, it did not mean that Dio knew more about the rtionship between Crassus and ine than they did.


    Dio doesn’t know whether ine is simply being brainwashed by the polluted World Tree or whether she simply has hatred for Crassus, who destroyed the World Tree.


    “Mr Crassus. What did you do with the World Tree?”


    Dio left Eline, who was having a fit, for now and asked Crassus something he was curious about.


    I can’t say that the current conversation is appropriate for the situation, but it was also necessary for Dio.


    By talking to Crassus, you can find out things you didn’t know and tell ine the truth.


    So he teleported everyone away and woke ine up from her sleep.


    Crassus, who noticed this, also took his eyes off ine and opened his mouth towards Dio.


    “Yes…just as you said, there was a sapling of the World Tree there. “The security was quite tight and there were priests from the Luna Church.”


    “How on earth did we find that ce? Luna Church bastards! They leaked information! After all, humans shouldn’t be trusted!”


    in’s anger grew stronger at Crassus’ words.


    ordingly, Dio felt that there was a need to share more stories about the past, even for himself and ine.


    Dio said, stroking his chin.


    “It’s not a sapling… Could you please exin from when Crassus first destroyed the World Tree?”


    Dio did not know the details of how the World Tree was polluted.


    Things rted to the World Tree were things that Sri did not mention, and they were things from a long time ago that Dio had not experienced as a yer.


    Knowing the background of the seven stars that will be powerful allies in the future is one of the tasks that Dio must solve.


    Aside from that, I was honestly curious.


    This is how Crassus destroyed the World Tree and escaped the elves’ pursuit.


    “Hmm…”


    Crassus closed his eyes for a moment.


    It wasn’t to avoid Dio’s question, but because he had to remember something from the distant past.


    * * *


    Before the sun god Sri was forgotten by people.


    More than a thousand years ago, elves, like humans, believed in various gods.


    This is because the elves could also see the actions of the gods who protected the continent.


    The sun bestows blessings upon people, wishing them good harvests.


    The moon that prevents the invasion of demonic beasts that hide in the dark andmit murder.


    ordingly, the elves epted the gods’ good will.


    Even so, the basis for the existence of the elves has always been the world tree.


    The mana produced by the World Tree is the source of the elves.


    But a thousand years ago.


    Even though the gods were protecting it, darkness came to the continent.


    People trembled with fear in that pitch-ck darkness.


    Even the gods who protected people were quickly devoured by darkness.


    It was an instant before the continent was engulfed in fire and darkness.


    The sun’s protection that protects everyone is slowly starting to crack.


    And along with humanity’sst line of defense, the sun also set.


    The fall of Sri.


    An era of great chaos has truly arrived on the continent.


    However, the elves were in a better situation than the humans.


    Even though God disappeared, the World Tree was protecting them.


    “But that was everyone’s mistake.”


    Crassus spoke bitterly.


    An era of confusion.


    The reason Sri fell was because Luna expressed a desire that had been hidden for a long time.


    “Luna colluded with the darkness and polluted the continent. “It was natural for the world tree, which had taken root on the continent, to also be polluted.”


    “lie! “It can’t be!”


    ine shouted, unable to believe that the World Tree had been engulfed in darkness.


    However, Crassus continued speaking regardless of ine’s denial.


    “Most elves did not notice that the World Tree was polluted. “Because they gave us a good reason to move.”


    The polluted World Tree sacrificed the gods in the name of protecting the elves.


    Among them, Sri is the most powerful.


    The polluted World Tree incited the elves, saying that Sri had brought darkness.


    A message from the World Tree that if Sri disappears, the continent can regain peace.


    ordingly, the elves purged the elves who believed in Sri without any suspicion.


    “It was only when I saw mypatriots pointing their swords at each other that I realized. “Something is wrong.”


    Crassus looked at ine, recalling the incident.


    “The World Tree chose me like that. “I gave you a mission.”


    “That can’t be possible.”


    “A mission to destroy yourself.”


    At Crassus’s words, ine shook her head, saying it couldn’t be true.


    But Crassus did not hide it any longer.


    The truth at that time.


    That the World Tree itself chose death for the survival of the elves.
