Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 78

Episode 78

“Jack Oppa! “Play more!”

“Wow!”

Artes was playing with energetic children in the middle of the village.

As if putting a child on a merry-go-round wasn’t enough, I put the children in my arms and spun it around, and the innocent children’s laughter never stopped.

“Let me do it too!”

“me too!”

Sepia and Roberto were resting on one side, looking very tired, as if they had given up long ago.

Unlike them, it was truly admirable to see Ates deal with the children’s endless demands without showing any sign of fatigue.

“Everyone get ready to leave!”

Dio’s voice rang loudly as he finished all his errands in the village, and upon hearing this, Ates also put down the children.

“Guys? “This guy has to go now.”

“Hmph. “Can’t I stay longer?”

The children, unable to hide their disappointment at Ates’ words, cried.

“jack! “Let’s go.”

Dio’s voice, which did not understand the children’s feelings, urged Ates.

“If you come back later, I’ll play with you all night long.”

“really?”

“okay. Promise.”

“promise!”

Ates raised her little finger and said goodbye to the children.

Afterwards, Ates followed behind Dio and the others while being seen off by the children waving their hands.

* * *

‘Athes… was a person whose personality changed greatly.’

Dio thought as he saw Ates being kind to not only the children but also the residents of Hallshtar.

Artes of the present and Artes of the future when time has passed have different personalities.

The current Artes travels under the pseudonym Jack and hides his identity.

He can be seen as a good boy who likes children and, unlike other nobles, cares about the problems of remote villages.

However, the future Artes seen in the game was very different from the present.

‘He was harsh.’

If the player spends time following the scenario, there are also quests that become involved with the Bertio family.

At that time, Artes’ personality changed to the point where he could be seen as a completely different person than he is now when he goes on an adventure alone in the Armin Forest.

‘Back then, I wasn’t as innocent as I am now.’

I don’t know what experiences he had between the present and the future seen in the game, but the future Artes has changed into a cold and harsh personality.

Although he still sought romance as he does now, like other nobles, he sometimes made disparaging remarks about people of commoner background.

‘That’ll happen later, anyway, I hope my current personality is maintained.’

Unlike the rest of the group, Dio did not think that Artes would be with him until the end.

He has a goal of succeeding to the status of Confucius and will never leave the eastern region that he loves.

Of course, like Artes, Dio also had no intention of sticking with him until the end.

Nevertheless, we will be together for as long as we travel to the eastern region, and it will be better to deal with his current gentle nature rather than his harsh personality.

‘Even so, it’s a bit odd that the only thing helpful to the party is the pass.’

Dio had no intention of using Artes solely as a horse weapon that would allow him to travel smoothly through the eastern region.

If we help Artes grow while we are together, the party will become stronger.

* * *

Creep-

boom!

As the sharp sword flashed, the heavy troll’s body fell down with a loud sound.

“Huh huh huh.”

After cutting down the troll, Artes gasped and looked at Dio, who was watching from behind.

“How is it? “If a monster like this catches me, it’s nothing.”

“Okay, good job.”

Ates looked very proud at Dio’s words.

It seemed like he was proving that he was helpful to the team, but Dio’s words that he did well were not true.

‘I’m not using my family’s swordsmanship on purpose.’

Bertio’s visionary swordsmanship that was briefly demonstrated when he sparred with Sepia.

Dio recognized him right away, but he didn’t pretend to know him.

So I thought I could use Bertio’s sword techniques with ease, but that wasn’t the case.

‘Even if it’s not us, there will be many people who recognize our family’s swordsmanship. I guess he was being careful in advance….’

It seemed like he was controlling himself in preparation for an unknown situation in the future.

‘It’s difficult to be so detailed where it’s not necessary…’

The power Dio has in mind is Ates, who is skilled in using the Vertio sword technique.

If this continues, problems may arise in unexpected situations.

For example, if Dio is given a position considering Artes’ level of 170, there is a high possibility that he will not be able to perform his role properly.

In that case, Dio’s thoroughly calculated and thoughtful fighting style could be disrupted by Artes.

However, it is difficult to make a plan completely excluding Artes.

It wouldn’t matter if you hadn’t joined the group at all, but even if you did join, not entrusting anything would be a waste in itself.

Because dealing with people is so difficult, this is why Dio worked alone when raising characters to max level.

Moreover, in order to help Artes grow, it would be much more efficient to train him based on the Vertio swordsmanship he has learned throughout his life…

‘What is Ji Himsumjjin?’

The level of the trolls that appear around here is 150.

Ates, who is 20 levels higher than that, is holding a troll and is gasping for air.

‘Shall I give you some mental education?’

Dio approached Artes, who was wiping his sweat.

“jack.”

“yes?”

“Pick up your sword. “You need to be beaten to come to your senses.”

* * *

“Haha Captain Diamond. “What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

All monsters in sight have been annihilated.

Ates laughed innocently, not understanding Dio’s intention to raise the sword again when the battle was over.

“Smile?”

“yes?”

Ates was taken aback by Dio’s harsh words.

“I think I would be even more disappointed if I had taken it seriously when I said I did a good job.”

“….”

“You’re so conceited that you only have the skills to catch one troll. “You can’t join us with such a rotten spirit.”

“That…”

At Dio’s words, Ates tried to say something, but immediately closed his mouth.

Dio knows what he wants to say.

‘I guess you want to say that if you used your family’s swordsmanship, it would be easier to finish.’

Dio glared at Artes, who was looking anxious.

“Do you think we’re having fun now? “If you knew how scary the Demon King’s army is, you wouldn’t have shown such a poor fight.”

“….”

“To fight the devil, even your soul must be sold. But even though you have it, you are hiding it.”

Dio didn’t say anything.

Artes has decided that it is appropriate to reveal his identity at this time, so he is speaking directly.

Artes looked embarrassed for a moment, but then hid his expression and opened his mouth calmly.

“What do you mean? “You’re hiding it?”

“If you don’t use your power properly, it can be dangerous.”

Dio continued to speak, circling around Ates.

“The danger is not only to yourself. The scary thing is that it comes to the same colleagues. “You must realize this.”

“….”

Dio drew his sword towards Artes, who was still hesitating.

visor!

Dio’s sword was aimed at Artes, and Artes hurriedly blocked the attack.

The rest of the group quickly retreated and surrounded them.

“…What are you doing?”

“I don’t think you want to show it… Shall I show it to you?”

“yes? “What on earth…?”

Dio put back the sword he was facing against Ates and slowly took a stance.

‘Is this how you do it?’

Dio holds the handle backwards and assumes a stance unique to Vertio swordsmanship.

The swordsmanship of holding a long sword, not a short sword, backwards is a unique feature of Bertio’s swordsmanship.

“How do you do that?”

Ates shouted involuntarily as he looked at Dio, whose posture was perhaps even more perfect than his own.

‘I also learned Bertio’s swordsmanship.’

Dio smiled as he remembered one of his max level characters who was a swordsman class.

The swordsman class basically satisfies the prerequisites to learn all swordsmanship skills on the order board.

So, he was able to learn swordsmanship from a swordsman like Bertio, and Dio was able to learn it through swordsman-only quests.

Many sword skills also have various levels, like magic classes.

Although Bertio’s vision swordsmanship is at the level of A-level swordsmanship, its destructive power alone is comparable to that of S-level swordsmanship.

‘Bertio Vision Swordsmanship… It’s not as sophisticated as other swordsmanship, but it’s easier to imitate.’

Dio rose to Grand Master, the highest rank in the swordsman class.

At that level, he was able to use all the skills of Vertio Vision Swordsmanship even though it was not the main skill.

Throwing light –

Light emanated from Dio’s body as he took his stance.

An ‘Auror’ that can be used by swordsmen who have reached a certain level of skill.

However, since Dio is not a swordsman, he cannot use Aura.

However, he only used the power of the sun to perfectly imitate the skill.

“This can’t be right!” “Auror?”

Artes opened his mouth wide, mistaking the light flowing from Dio’s body to be an aura.

Regardless, Dio focused on Bertio’s swordsmanship.

What Dio is trying to do now is to use a skill he has not learned.

If this was the old D.O., it would be absurd.

It’s hard to imagine an order board without bugs, but not for the current D.O.

Because this is not an order board game, but reality.

Schuwald’s teachings to experience the power of the sun directly.

Dio, who has accomplished this, can not only imitate but also use skills without the help of the ‘system’.

‘you can do it.’

It’s the same as when I first used [Island] on Galeto.

The only difference is that the source of the power used is not the Auror, but the power of the sun.

Pot!

Dio hit the ground and jumped high into the sky.

The target is not Ates.

Because he is not yet strong enough to take the brunt of Dio’s techniques.

Whirling –

Dio spun quickly in the air and lashed out with his sword towards the ground far away from Ates.

Bertio’s vision of swordsmanship and martial arts.

[Lion Sing]

Flash!

The light of the sun explodes at the same time Dio’s sword touches the floor.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

The ground shook for a moment as a huge explosion occurred, perhaps due to the influence of the power being handled.

“No way! How on earth!?”

Ates just stared at Dio in fascination, as if he didn’t know what to make of this ridiculous sight.

His reaction was natural.

The arcane swordsmanship that Dio is currently demonstrating is the family’s secret skill, ‘Lion’s Song’, which can only be used once one reaches the level of a sword expert.

“Whoa-”

Dio, who thought he did an excellent job imitating a skill he had never learned for the first time, took a deep breath.

‘I think this gives about half the power.’

Destructive power comparable to the forgotten sword technique [Island].

However, because Dio was merely imitating what was in his memory, he did not have the same power as the original.

‘I don’t think there’s any need to use Vertio swordsmanship.’

Dio thought as he looked at the hollow earth around him.

Well, from Dio’s point of view, there is no need to use a different sword technique than a forgotten sword technique that can be activated right away through the system.

However, the reason I showed off Bertio’s sword skills now was to show it to Ates.

“jack.”

Dio approached Ates, who was standing blankly, and called out to him.

“If you keep hiding it, I don’t think you’ll be able to join us.”

“….”

If Ates had not hidden Bertio’s sword skills, Dio was planning to continue to challenge his acting.

However, Dio had a different opinion when he saw Artes’ strong will to hide it.

‘Even if I become stronger with half the skills. It’s no good for Ates or for me.’

At Dio’s words, which seemed to be asking, ‘Do you want to hide it like this?’, Artes smiled awkwardly, as if resigned.

“Haha since when did you know?”

“Ever since I sparred with Heart.”

“As expected.”

At Dio’s words, Artes glanced at Sephia.

Then he turned his gaze to Dio again.

“Phew – I understand.”

For some reason, Artes took a deep breath with a more relaxed expression.

Perhaps he was relieved to see that Dio’s attitude towards him did not change even though he knew his identity.

Eventually, Ates made up his mind and raised his head and looked around at Dio and his companions.

“Let me formally introduce you once again. “My name is Ates Bertio. I am the second son of Duke Bertio.”
