Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 170


    Episode 170


    Whioooooo –


    Dio turned to Paul again, who had withstood his sword energy.


    The power of Taeyang Baldo, used five times in a row, was clearly enormous.


    Nevertheless, Dio’s attack only cracked the shield created by Paul and did notpletely pierce it.


    ‘As expected, the difference in equipment cannot be ignored.’


    Dio nced at the sword he used in the attack as a greeting.


    A level 370 weapon with Sri’s attributes given as ‘Graceful All-Purpose Jade’.


    It was clearly one of the better weapons among Dio’s items, but it was not at a level suitable for dealing with Paul.


    Equipment is as important as natural growth on the order board.


    The person I was currently dealing with, Paul, possessed several pieces of weapons called Luna’s holy relics.


    ‘I might need to overpower it a bit.’


    In the current situation, whenparing Paul’s power to his own, the situation wasparable.


    In Dio’s memory, Paul’s level was about level 460, simr to Calliope.


    Moreover, considering the armament he had, it was clear that he was not an opponent that could be defeated easily.


    ‘But I have this skill.’


    Dio is currently far ahead of Paul in terms of personal abilities thanks to the passive skill ‘Power of Faith’.


    Thanks to about 90,000 believers, the ability level increased by 9%.


    However, when you use the power of faith directly, it increases by as much as 90%.


    To put it simply, it was like saying that it would increase the current maximum power of DIO by about two times.


    If the gap is this much, it doesn’t matter whether there is a difference in equipment or not.


    The only thing that matters is how long itsts.


    The duration is also now about 90 secondspared to the number of believers.


    ‘That’s enough.’


    Quang!


    As soon as the power of faith was activated, the energy that had radiated from Dio soared once again.


    As a result, everything around them, including the air, began to shake, and Gunther, who was watching, could not help but be surprised again.


    “That wasn’t power?”


    In a fight, suppressing the initiative is essential.


    At the same time as Gunther’s surprise, Paul also flinches and takes a step back.


    [The power of faith active effect has been activated.]


    [Duration: 91 seconds]


    Dio nced at the system window that was turning on like a timer.


    At most, itsts 1 minute and 30 seconds.


    However, Dio never thought that this time was insufficient.


    There is a huge gap between Dio and Paul now that can be seen without even having topare their skills.


    ‘It’s awesome in there.’


    * * *


    As Dio kicked the ground, his new form disappeared so quickly that Paul could not chase it.


    Paul opened his mouth to say something, but Dio’s sword struck him before he could open his mouth.


    bang!


    Paul instinctively raised his sword to protect his head, and fortunately his advanced experience saved his life.


    However, the moment Paul met Dio’s sword, he could feel the overwhelming difference in power.


    Kuung-!


    Poole’s knees fell to the floor, unable to withstand the overwhelming shocking from his hands.


    The shock didn’t end with just Paul’s body.


    As if Paul’s strength, which gave him the upper hand even against Gunther, the empire’s strongest sword master, wasughable.


    As if it wasn’t enough to weigh down his body, he started to copse on his knees, which were on the ground.


    Kagagagak-!


    Unable to hold on any longer, Paul twisted his arm with all his strength and barely escaped Dio’s attack.


    But all it does is let go of the attack.


    Paul raised all his divine power to block Dio’s attack once again.


    Ka-ga-ga-ga-gang!


    Dozens ofpetitions took ce in less than a second.


    Even though Paul knew that he should avoid Dio’s attack without receiving it, he failed to do so.


    Because Dio’s speed was faster than that.


    Damn it!


    Paul’s superhuman body seemed to be able to withstand it somehow, but his weapons could not.


    Luna’s holy relic, ‘Azot’, given by the saint to the Last Sword.


    Azoth’s shiny de, which seemed tost forever, slowly began to crack.


    ‘crazy…!’


    The shock felt even though I only blocked it.


    If it hadn’t been for Azoth, it would have been Paul’s body that would have broken first.


    “It doesn’t fit well.”


    Dio muttered, feeling unsatisfied even though he was alreadypletely overwhelmed.


    This was because Dio did not aim for Paul’s life right away.


    There was a reason why D.O., who was a senior, did notpete despite such an overwhelming power difference.


    Paul is the most trusted person among Saint Kaleyna’s closest associates.


    Paul’s interrogation was absolutely necessary for Dio to prepare for the saint.


    Of course, I don’t think Paul will easily give Dio the information he needs, but it’s still better than killing Paul right away.


    The reason he used the power of faith was not because he wanted to kill Paul, but because he needed to quickly subdue him.


    It’s not impossible to subdue him without the power of faith, but if Paul decides to run away, it will be a headache for Dio as well.


    ‘Should I try using a little more strength?’


    When Paul held on better than expected, Dio turned his wrist leisurely.


    In response, Paul hurriedly kicked the ground and took a step back, but his strength was too slow topletely escape Dio’s attack range.


    phut!


    Chachaechaechaeng!


    Before Paul could react properly, Dio’s fast sword swung.


    Currently, Dio was showing movements that focused solely on attack, and Paul knew it too.


    However, despite knowing this, Paul did not dare to attack Dio by taking advantage of the opportunity.


    This is because the opponent’s abilities were overwhelmingly superior in all aspects, not just speed.


    Kagagagak-fit!


    Paul’s posture, which was focused on blocking Dio’s repeated attacks, slowly copsed.


    There were limits to what he could do with the sword, and in the end, Paul’s body ended up with wounds here and there.


    “Tsk!”


    Paul, who had a minor wound, came to his senses once again and increased his divine power.


    As long as it wasn’t a fatal wound, it wasn’t much of a problem to Paul.


    Paul’s ss is ‘Mighty Pdin’, which is considered the strongest among the Pdin series.


    Hahahaha!


    As Luna’s dazzling light enveloped Paul, the wounds inflicted by Dio began to heal in an instant.


    ‘There was no ss like this to endure.’


    Dio muttered to himself when he saw Paul’s appearance.


    Considering that yers’ nickname for the Mighty Pdin is Castle Wheel, it was not surprising that Paul held up so well.


    However, this is also possible because Dio takes into ount the situation and deals with it.


    Let’s go!


    A strong spark flickered on the sword Dio was holding.


    The power of the sun he created emitted a force so great that it could not even bepared to the power of the moon that Paul was using.


    “Take it well.”


    Dio kindly predicted his attack.


    I was confident that the other person would never be able to avoid it even if I told them anyway.


    Took!


    Dio jumped high and shed his sword at Paul.


    An attack that is honest enough for the opponent to prepare for.


    Although he could not shake off Dio’s speed, Paul parried the attack by infusing all his divine power into Azoth.


    Just as Dio intended.


    h h h –


    ng!


    “Oh no!”


    The holy relic Azoth could not withstand Dio’s power and eventually broke, and Paul’s panicked cry was heard.


    What Dio was targeting now was not Paul.


    Luna’s light and the holy relic Azoth, which helped Paul with his body, were Dio’s targets.


    And sessfully destroyed Azot.


    There is nothing to protect Paul now.


    Dio swung his sword once again.


    Suddenly!


    “Whoosh!!”


    Paul’s right arm was cut off in an instant, and he bit his lip in great pain.


    If the opponent was an ordinary person, you might think that he was incapacitated by amputating his body, but the opponent was a pdin.


    He is also the strongest andst pdin.


    He is a person who cannot be confident that he neutralized his opponent just by having one of his arms blown off.


    Luna’s power is strong enough to restore even a severed body.


    Papak!


    Fit!


    Paul tried his best to avoid Dio’s attack, but it was already toote.


    Dio’s sword cut off Paul’s remaining arms and legs in an instant.


    Is it because the body was surrounded by divine power in that brief moment?


    Although it was not severed like his right arm, Dio’s attack was still not shallow.


    thud!


    Paul, who was badly wounded, eventually fell to his knees and Dio lifted his sword and held it to his neck.


    “Huh…yeah. “I think I was trying to say something. Let’s see if they listen.”


    * * *


    “I can’t believe it when I see it.”


    Gunther was amazed at Dio, who quickly defeated Paul.


    The first few battles were evenly matched, with no one having the upper hand.


    But that onlysted a moment.


    Dio showed great momentum as if he was demonstrating his skills in earnest, and from that moment on, Gunther missed Dio’s movements several times.


    As a sword master, he is so fast that his eyes cannot follow him!


    ‘Even if I were to face him, I wouldn’t be able to get past 20.’


    Only 30 seconds had passed. In that short period of time, Paul, whose skills were simr to mine, copsed in an instant.


    Gunther, who had been mesmerized by Dio’s overwhelming strength, came to his senses after hearing the conversation between Dio and Paul.


    “You are making a mistake. “The sun is more dangerous than the darkness.”


    “Is that yourst will?”


    Dio responds harshly to Paul’s words as he stops bleeding from his severed arm.


    “Why can’t someone as powerful as you realize the truth? “Turn your back on the sun and stand on the side of the moon, even now!”


    “This is out of my mind. Did a saint say that? “How about you stop being deceived by Luna and the saint ande under my wing?”


    “dog sound!”


    At Dio’s suggestion, Paul lost his temper and tried to get up.


    But unfortunately, Paul is so injured that he cannot move easily.


    Gunther, who was watching this, shook his head at the miserable appearance of his old rival.


    ‘The Paul I know would never abandon Luna… He is willing to sacrifice his life for Luna and the saint.’


    Gunther took his eyes off Paul and looked at Dio, who seemed rxed.


    ‘To him, Luna is a definite enemy. If Dio takes the lead, it is only a matter of time before the Holy Kingdom of Sri is established.’


    Gunther, who clearly saw Dio’s power with his own eyes, assured.


    It is certainly a good thing that the Empire hase to stand more firmly on Dio’s side.


    However…


    ‘If the Church of Sri, like the Church of Luna, influences the entire continent… the position of the empire will ultimately remain the same. then.’


    Gunther was wary of the Sri Church bing sorge that the empire could not handle it, like the Luna Church.


    In order to avoid repeating the same history, the empire had to take clear measures to deal with this.


    Gunther, who was thinking about this and that, suddenly turned his head to Paul, who was smiling.


    Could it be that I have gone crazy?


    ‘What are you trying to do in this situation…’


    The moment Gunther sensed something strange, things had already started to happen.


    Paul was covered in scars.


    An ominous gray liquid flowed out from the mr he bit into, along with blood.


    And the dazzling light that gathers into that gray liquid.


    The power felt from that light was much greater than the power of the sun that Dio showed.
