Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 167Episode 167:

‘Hidden Quest’ created after encountering Deathrugger.

The reward for this hidden quest was different from what Dio had experienced.

A new skill called ‘Power of Faith’.

—————

The greater your faith, the more powerful the power of God becomes.

The Grand Warrior of the Sun also receives Solari’s grace more strongly as the number of followers increases.

Passive effect: All of the player’s abilities increase in proportion to the number of believers.

For each believer, the additional abilities obtained through the power of faith are increased by 0.1%.

Current believer of Solari: 91421

Applicable increase stat: 9.1%

Active effect: When casting the power of faith directly, the passive effect increases 10 times.

Abilities strengthened when activated: 91%

Duration: 91.4 seconds

The duration increases by 0.1 seconds for each believer.

Cooldown: 24 hours

—————

The Power of Faith skill has two main effects.

The first is a passive skill.

The abilities you currently possess increase in proportion to the number of Solari believers.

Abilities refer to all of a player’s strengths.

Not just stats, but everything like skill coefficient and resistance.

According to the system window, the current number of Solari believers is approximately 90,000.

Considering that when the Allied Forces returned, there were around 10,000 people, Dio could see that Solari’s status had spread significantly.

It seemed that the influence of Prince Prion, who was probably the most influential among the Allied forces returning from the expedition, was applied.

If it weren’t for that, the number of Solari believers wouldn’t have increased to this extent.

‘Well, Agram must have worked hard too.’

Dio thought of not only Prian but also the mercenary king Agram.

Agram had a wish to establish a kingdom again.

If he believed in the promise he made to Dio, he would definitely have taken the lead in praising Solari.

Even for the sake of his own kingdom that will be rebuilt in the future.

‘Thanks to Prian and Agram, I don’t mind wandering around the Empire.’

Dio thought about his safe warehouse in the empire and thought about going there right away.

The only thing Dio has to worry about now is what to do with Atra’s warehouse.

It would be a waste to give up the items piled up in the warehouse, but…

‘Should I at least sneak in?’

It is not clear exactly how many believers the Dioga Luna Church has.

However, Solari is still aware of the fact that it is far short of the Lunar Church.

‘Converting Luna’s followers might be a more effective way to become stronger.’

Raising your level is important, but as long as you have the skill ‘Power of Faith’, there is a way to gain power beyond your level.

If only we could make everyone across the continent become believers of Solari.

Dio assured that he would be able to become much stronger than the max level characters he had raised so far.

‘Because Solari’s blessing will no longer be effective once you reach max level.’

The current Dio, who can get double bonus points, actually had stats comparable to that of a full-level character.

However, if you think about the ‘equipment’ and ‘skills’ that become more important as you level up, Dio was not yet stronger than his enemies to the point where you could feel at ease.

Of course, I think to myself that as long as the power of faith grows stronger in the future, there will be only a few formidable opponents.

And this confidence was by no means Dio’s only idea.

“Haven’t we changed a lot since the first time?”

“After fighting such demonic beasts, of course I became stronger.”

“No, I’m not just talking about being skilled in fighting. “Look at me.”

Eveline opened her palm in response to Roberto’s insignificant answer.

Evelyn was complaining just now that her mana was running out.

However, the condensed mana that had now gathered in Evelyn’s palm was by no means small.

“I only rested for a short time, but I have already recovered. “I didn’t even take the potion!”

“Well, it’s been a while since I took a potion.”

Roberto was convinced by Evelyn’s words that the healing power had increased.

As you can see from their conversation, compared to about a month ago when they had just started hunting demons, the amount of potions they were taking and their rest time had drastically decreased.

Nevertheless, I was able to recover my tired body faster than before.

“Are you saying this is an explosion?”

Evelyn remembered the words Dio sometimes muttered to himself.

They were able to vaguely understand the meaning of ‘explosion’ through Dio’s Spartan education.

“As time passes, I finally understand the techniques that my teacher taught me.”

Evelyn showed off a 4-layer shadow magic that she had never dared use before.

It’s not just about creating a lot of shadows.

Each shadow created by Evelyn had an ego that was able to exert unprecedented power.

‘That’s because your level has increased.’

When NPCs level up, they automatically acquire skills appropriate for that level.

However, when Evelyn spoke so proudly, Dio swallowed his words internally.

In any case, it is fortunate for Dio that his companions also feel that their level has increased.

Dio was also worried that his companions might end up as high-level idiots.

Some players sometimes get unexpected boosts by following the tips of old people, but most of those players end up getting the game over soon after.

The reason is that I could not adapt because I did not have the experience appropriate to my level.

Because they focused only on raising their level, users who omitted skill proficiency and other aspects could not survive in the difficult world of the order board.

But unlike them, Dio’s group already had a great teacher.

Calliope for Evelyn.

Schuwald for Roberto.

And for Sepia, it’s Dio.

It was safe to say that their level was low compared to their experience.

Even though Sepia is like that, Evelyn is a witch and Roberto is a vampire, so didn’t they spend a long time with their teacher?

“Isn’t it amazing that my shadow protects me even when I’m not conscious of it?”

As Eveline continued to boast, even the gentle Roberto’s mouth started itching.

He also wanted to let everyone know about his growth that he learned from the Demonic Sutra.

“Me too this time….”

“Wow! Look at this! “I succeeded in 5 stacks for the first time!”

“….”

The group of shadows starting from Evelyn’s feet all had different appearances.

Just like a nine-tailed fox becomes stronger as the number of tails it has.

Evelyn was also caressing five shadows with different abilities.

That doesn’t mean you can touch it though.

‘I’ve grown so much before I know it.’

Roberto was impressed by the abilities Evelyn showed.

He also did not hesitate to steal Galetto’s movements and quickly grew in his fight against the demon beasts.

However, I instinctively knew that it was still a bit lacking compared to Evelyn.

In fact, Roberto’s level was the lowest, so Roberto’s good sense was not wrong at all.

‘I think I need to make the beast shoes more mine.’

Roberto recalled ‘Beast Painting’, which he could not say because of Evelyn.

It was the most difficult and dangerous technique among Schuwald’s teachings.

This was a technique limited only to werewolves, and it was a technique that could gain enormous power if the beast’s instincts could be suppressed while beast transformation was applied.

Roberto was looking for a way to apply beast transformation to vampires through the power of the sun.

‘Even the teacher had a hard time enduring the beast transformation during the full moon.’

Roberto recalled Schuwald running wild.

Schuwald, with his beast boots applied, became so powerful that even Galletto could not compete with him.

However, the ‘Curse of the Full Moon’ fell on Schuwald.

This was not due to Schuwald’s lack of ability.

Roberto knew that the power of Luna contained in the full moon had been tormenting Schuwald until now.

‘Even if you gain power equal to or greater than that of your teacher by becoming a beast, it is meaningless if you lose your true nature.’

Roberto closed his eyes in order to quickly make his inherent beast instinct his own.

Whenever he became impatient, Roberto would reflect on Schuwald’s teachings through meditation.

Even while the group was resting like this, Roberto continued his training.

Guung –

Roberto, who was just about to start meditation, felt a faint vibration in his senses.

‘what?’

Roberto may be less progressive than the rest of the group, but he is not behind in sense.

Roberto realized that the rumbling of the ground he was feeling was coming from quite a distance away.

‘The distance is considerable… Has another powerful demon appeared?’

Coo coo coo

Roberto just focused on meditation.

Developing one’s senses in this way is also a form of training.

This is the moment when Roberto concentrates even more on trying to figure out the magic beast that is far away.

Kuwaaaaaaaa!

The tremendous energy was strong enough that not only Roberto but also the rest of the group could feel it.

“What is it?”

“There’s something over there!”

Sepia and Evelyn couldn’t hide their surprise as they turned their gaze towards the direction where Roberto felt energy.

“Two large beings collided.”

Among the group, Elaine, who seemed to know more about the situation, opened her mouth.

“It’s not a witch. One of these is….”

Elaine continued speaking while everyone was on guard due to the unusual energy.

“It’s Paul.”

“If you say Paul… are you really referring to the Archbishop of Atra?”

“okay. “He also has five swords.”

Sepia had heard of Paul’s name before.

And Roberto, who was listening to this next to him, also recalled a story that Schuwald had once told him.

The most dangerous person in the Luna Church, excluding saints.

Paul Eppenhaus.

‘Why is that dangerous person here?’

If what Elaine said was right, it wasn’t a very good story for the group.

I don’t think the entire group will lose to just one person, but the current group members are not in full physical condition.

Moreover, due to the ongoing hunt for demonic beasts, all equipment is now in disarray.

‘If Paul decides to do so, I can’t guarantee that we will all be safe. In that case, I’d rather…’

Roberto tried to get up first, with the intention of luring Paul.

But there was someone who got up before him.

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Unlike the rest of the group, Dio doesn’t look nervous.

The moment Roberto saw Dio, he realized that his worries were useless.

“I’ll go and take a look.” Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Alone? “Everyone going together…”

“No. Even if you fight, you’re better off alone. And don’t worry, I’ll run away if I have to.”

Despite Sepia’s dissuasion, Dio smiled.

Is it an illusion that his colleagues feel an inexplicable sense of relief from his smile?

‘If it were Dio now…’

Roberto had an intuition as he saw the power felt from Dio.

No matter what enemy appears, is there really one he can’t defeat?

Dio’s power was so great that he could tell because Roberto had the most sensitive senses among the group.

‘I can’t believe it’s even still growing.’

For some reason, Roberto suppressed his anticipation.

As I looked at Dio’s back, I couldn’t even tell how strong he had become in the demon world and how strong he would become.
