Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 128Episode 128
: Dio reveals his identity.
And Sephia, who was guarding next to him, also dispelled the perception-impairing magic.
It was as if he was putting his words of giving up hiding and revealing himself to the world into action.
‘The key was chosen. I also have to choose.’
Dalimus looked at the back of Dio, who was attracting all the attention of the audience, and recalled a conversation he had had with him separately.
* * *
When Dalimus gave four days for the duel.
Dio talked to Dalimus, who gave him time in the name of training, about the things he had been contemplating.
The story was about Lennon, who may have touched the power of the Mine.
“Lennon will bring down Bertio.”
“…What does that mean?”
Dalimus expressed his displeasure toward Dio, who had requested a private meeting if there was something important to talk about.
No matter how much of a conflict Dio had with Lennon, his gossip that he would bring about the downfall of the family was unlikely to be received favorably.
“Are you saying that Artes is better suited to be the next head of the family? “Even if Lennon is arrogant, his talent is…”
“It’s not about my eldest son’s talent.”
Dalimus glared at Dio, who had interrupted him.
The ‘key’ that ‘mother’ looks after.
However, Dalimus could not just trust his mother’s words and trust the key.
Moreover, since Dio’s skills had not yet been proven, Dalimus looked cautious before he spoke his next words.
“Now Lennon is dabbling in darkness.”
Dalimus’ expression became even more serious after hearing Dio’s explosive remarks.
Darkness?
I can’t say that the group Lennon hangs around with are good, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid people who believe in darkness.
“Tell me in detail.”
Dalimus hurriedly urged Dio, as he needed to know in detail why he was saying this.
“In the not-too-distant future, Lennon, who has been corrupted by demonic energy, will use some kind of trick to kill you and take over the family.”
“…I’m likely to be the next head of the family, but you’re going to kill me? “Why?” S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“That’s because if we are to sacrifice the eastern part to the Demon King, the head of the family is the first priority to be eliminated.”
“her!”
Dalimus let out an exclamation at Dio’s absurd words.
Should you believe someone else’s words that your child will commit misdeeds?
“On what basis are you making this conclusion? The future? “You saw the future…”
Dalimus, who was on the verge of annoyance, swallowed his words for a moment.
See the future?
Our ancestors said it.
The darkness that will one day come to the continent.
And the family must increase its strength to fight against that darkness.
This was the prediction of a god whose records had been wiped out on this continent for a long time, and there was one person who proved it.
Mother Calliope.
Now that the mother, who will be dismissed as nothing more than a legend, has come to visit Dalimus, the ‘oracle’ can never be ignored.
And the realm of ‘foreknowledge’ that the key now shows is something that Dalimus must never overlook.
If the Mother returns to the East, do not distrust or disobey her. This is a ‘commandment’ that has been handed down since the first head of the family of Bertio.
Because of this, Dalimus guessed that the mother and the key were related to gods or oracles.
“Is it an oracle? “The signal that will cause chaos in the East is my child?”
“It’s similar.”
Dio nodded at Dalimus’ words.
“In this duel, we will uncover the darkness that Lennon has hidden until now.”
“….”
“If that happens, not only will the eldest son no longer have a place in the family, but he will also be criticized by everyone.”
Dio’s words that he would reveal the darkness that Lennon had hidden until now.
Those words seemed to mean proving that God’s revelation was true.
If this person’s words are true, it would be fortunate if it ended in criticism.
“I am in a position where I cannot just watch this. My goal in this duel is not to win, but to show everyone that my eldest son has colluded with the devil. Would that be okay?”
“….”
Dalimus let out a deep sigh.
Dio’s words, perhaps just an outsider.
Whether it was the duty of the key or the revelation of God, it was not an easy choice for Dalimus.
No matter what, the blood relatives he had seen all his life brought down his family.
And it’s hard to believe that we’ve already touched the darkness.
“…Originally, I should have trusted my son.”
“….”
Dalimus could not continue speaking for a while.
Dalimus ultimately had no choice but to make a choice.
These were not the words of anyone else, but the words of Key, who had great trust from his mother.
If it is true that Lennon has been hiding the things that have touched the dark side, then Dalimus himself is also responsible.
This is because he failed to fulfill his responsibility as the head of the family and as a father.
After thinking for a long time, Dalimus opened his mouth.
“I will believe you. “What are your future plans?”
* * *
Dalimus looked at Lennon, who had lost his arm and was unconscious.
‘Lennon… think of it as a reward for your greed. ‘I, too, failed to fulfill my responsibilities, so I will make everything right.’
First, we have to deal with the Chamberlain, who can be considered a close associate of Lennon.
Dalimus hoped that everything Dio said was a lie.
Or it’s a mistake.
What the forgotten god predicted was all a mistake.
However, Dalimus, who had watched closely what Dio had prepared for this moment, could feel it inside.
God’s revelation is truth.
The person who lent Lennon’s power was said to be Acrich, a man with an evilness that even black magicians could not dare to match.
Acrich said that in order to awaken the darkness planted inside Lennon, he had to borrow the power of a sacred object that had been buried in the territory for a long time.
‘The location of the sacred object was also accurately known and found. There is no longer any doubt about the key’s power.’
Dalimus could understand why Dio was called the key.
A key is something that opens something locked and reveals something hidden inside.
What is important to Key is not strength.
It exists to prepare for and resolve future risks.
He was literally the one who best suited the meaning of the key.
‘If everything goes as planned… the continent will be engulfed in chaos.’
Dalimus, who had already heard part of the plan from Dio, looked at him.
As he said, he emptied all the places where the holy relics were located and agreed to Dio’s offer to intervene in the middle of the duel.
Since things have gone as Dio had planned so far, there is a strong possibility that future events will also proceed as he expected.
‘It was said that it was impossible to prevent the coming chaos. But they said we all grow through this.’
Dalimus pondered what Dio said and looked at his close friend.
Swordmaster Gunther.
The person Dalimus could trust the most at the moment was not a member of his family.
It was the site of the emperor, the pinnacle of the empire, and the military who supported him most closely.
And as the situation grows, the power of the empire ruling the central continent is now desperately needed.
‘Please.’
Dalimus nodded slightly towards Gunther, who met his gaze.
Then, Gunther also raised his hand as if he understood, and soon several imperial nobles who received his signal disappeared in an instant.
They were probably Gunther’s subordinates disguised as nobles.
‘Dio…I hope we all become one like you said.’
Dalimus prayed as he watched Dio walking towards the crowd of spectators.
As he said, I hope that Bertio, who has grown up, will endure and overcome the darkness to come.
* * *
“That is absurd!”
Someone shouted at Dio for mentioning the name of a god who had been forgotten by man for a thousand years.
“The sun god? Never heard of it! Saying that I have never heard of it is like saying that our family does not know!”
Dio looked at the nobleman who was arguing with him.
The nobleman spread his shoulders wide and looked proud, as if he were proud of himself.
Dio recognized the emblem he was wearing at a glance.
‘You must be Clinton. This place also has a deep history.’
Viscount Clinton was included in the eastern sphere of influence, but because it bordered the southern region, it was quite far from Vetrio’s territory.
Therefore, the nobles around him, including Viscount Clinton, were close to the southern nobles who were greatly influenced by the Luna Church.
Viscount Clinton himself is also an ardent believer in the Luna Church.
“What you just said is blasphemy! Are you saying that you defeated the warlock by borrowing the name of the sun, which no one knows, rather than Luna’s name?”
The people’s murmur grew louder as Viscount Clinton spoke.
Among those gathered here, there were several noble nobles whose names were as long-lived as Bertio’s.
Even they did not know the existence of the sun god, so they agree with Viscount Clinton.
“Sun god? Have you ever heard of it?”
“I heard that among the barbarians in the far north, there are people who worship the sun… did you say it was a totem?”
“They revere everything, whether it’s a bear or a rock.”
“Are you saying you’re a barbarian? “Are you saying it’s heresy?”
“It doesn’t matter what, right? “I think it’s true that we defeated the warlock.”
“Don’t be stupid. “It’s the warlocks who kill and kill each other.”
The uproar caused by Viscount Clinton showed no signs of abating easily.
Dio’s story about the sun god was not easy to accept, so it was a natural phenomenon.
And Dio expected this.
‘It won’t be easy to accept the existence of a god who has been forgotten for a thousand years.’
Dio knows well how much influence religion has on the world.
I didn’t know much about world history, but I had at least heard about the Crusades that pitted Christianity and Islam against each other.
‘Even this is a world where spiritual gods and divine powers truly exist. To them, faith is much more absolute than the world I lived in.’
If Dio were in their position, he would have reacted the same way.
‘There is only one way to persuade them.’
Dio slowly looked around at the people making a fuss.
People who are surprised, people who doubt, people who act calm….
To prove that the words they just said are not lies, you have to show them.
‘God’s miracle.’
Things like walking on water or turning water into wine.
The stage has already been set.
Dio looked at Lennon and then made eye contact with Dalimus.
He also just looked like he was wondering what he was going to do and stayed back from persuading people on Dio’s behalf.
“I know it’s hard to believe everything I’ve said right now.”
As soon as Dio opened his mouth, people’s voices quieted down.
They are all curious.
What does the Great History of the Sun mean?
What he wants to say.
“When Luave was defeated in Oaks, the witnesses thought he was just using sword techniques.”
Even for Dio, it was impossible to use sword skills in just a few days.
Instead, he looked for another way.
“Are you saying it’s not sword energy?”
“That was divine power?”
“Well, I just defeated Lennon…”
Dio’s words make people excited again.
This is because anyone who can use divine power comparable to Luave can hardly be considered a heretic.
However, Viscount Clinton, who was not fooled by Dio’s words, surpassed everyone and stepped forward.
“Wasn’t it Luna’s divine power that defeated the eldest son who became a demon? The thing you used. Everyone here saw that it was clearly Luna’s light.”
“You recognized Luna’s holy relic.”
“of course! “Only Luna’s moonlight can exert such divine power!”
Viscount Clinton became energized by Dio’s question.
Dio smiled slightly at him.
The power contained in the holy relic was immediately recognized by anyone who had reached a certain level, such as Viscount Clinton.
In that case, the miracle of God that Dio will show them in the future will not be easily overlooked.
“Let me prove it. “I am not a heretic, and I am a believer who serves the sun, not Luna.”
“good night! But if you can’t do this, you are just a fraud imitating Luna’s divine power. I must punish you for this…”
Viscount Clinton, who was in the middle of speaking, lost his words for a moment.
An item that appeared in front of people as if vomiting from Dio’s inventory.
Not only Clinton but everyone else in the room could not keep their mouths shut when they saw it.
Woe!
It was a sword.
Amazingly dazzling and sacred appearance.
People could tell.
The proof that Dio spoke of is exactly what it says.
This is truly…
a ‘miracle of God’.
