Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 169

Episode 169:

The title of the Empire’s Strongest Knight was, without a doubt, the title that all knights dreamed of.

The strongest empire means being the strongest in the world.

However, this does not mean that the strongest knight is the strongest.

A person who is always mentioned when discussing the strongest person in the entire continent, beyond the empire.

That was Paul Eppenhaus.

Pababat-!

That brief moment when you blink your eyes.

Gunther looked at Paul who appeared in front of him and hurriedly raised his sword.

Kagagak!

When Gunther’s sword and Paul’s sword clashed, their energies also reacted violently.

These two have clashed several times in the past.

Not on the battlefield, but in the form of a sparring match.

Each time, the two’s skills were always on par.

The power struggle was also equal with neither side having the upper hand.

But for some reason now is different from then.

Pakang!

Gunther twisted the sword that was facing Paul and quickly struck it away, widening the distance.

It was the first time he had avoided a power struggle against Paul.

‘what? ‘Is this the Paul I know?’

Gunther glanced at his numb arm.

The tremor felt against Paul’s sword seemed to represent the amount of power he possessed.

‘I’m much stronger than before. Could it be that you didn’t mean it back then?’

The last time Gunther and Paul competed was at a big event.

In the empire, large events featuring the swordsmanship of knights are held periodically.

A few years ago, we prepared a stage with the Luna Church, and Gunther and Paul performed a light game as a special event before the start of the competition.

The empire’s strongest knight and the kingdom’s strongest sword.

The event between these two was a quite meaningful match for the martial artists at the time.

Of course, this match was not an official match but had a strong festival feel, so it was not a match that decided the winner.

At that time, Gunther also did not show his true skills, but he never took the duel lightly.

And Gunther knew that it would definitely be the same for Paul.

It’s been 50 years since I knew Paul.

‘But how?’

If it was the Paul he knew, no matter how much of his power he hid at the time, he would not have understood this level of disparity.

Kagagaga River!

Paul’s continued fierce attacks did not wait for the confused Gunther.

“Sigh!”

Gunther let out a short burst of energy, removed the pole, and at the same time fired a strong sword strike.

Quagwagwagwang!

The slash containing the Sword Master’s aura caused a strong explosion the moment it touched Paul.

‘If he wasn’t hiding his strength, did he grow further? But that divine power…’

Gunther swallowed his saliva as he looked at Paul without a single wound in the thick dust.

The divine power that protects Paul’s body.

Gunther could feel an energy that was quite different from the divine power he had seen before.

It is true that it has definitely become stronger.

But why?

The sacredness that must be felt from divine power.

What only feels ominous now.

“Why are you doing that? “It would be disappointing if the level you have achieved is this high.”

“Is that possible?”

When Paul spoke as if he was truly disappointed, Gunther quickly tried to hide his embarrassment.

Gunther was surprised that Paul was stronger than he remembered, but he never made the choice to lose here.

Because the Emperor’s sword must never be broken.

bang!

Gunther’s new brother, who had made up his mind, quickly moved forward.

Keying –

A quick sword wielded by Gunther.

His sword was so fast that it looked like the swords of dozens of knights striking at the same time.

Paba babang!

Paul countered Gunther’s attacks several times, but the more he tried, the faster Gunther’s attacks became.

Although Paul has the upper hand in strength, he may not have the upper hand in speed, but he gradually begins to fall behind.

Paul quickly recognized this and immediately put out his right foot and kicked the ground hard.

Coogung!

The earth collapses in an instant.

That wasn’t all.

The black earth that touched Paul’s feet turned gray, as if it had been instantly purified by his divine power.

Ugh!

The gray earth of the magic world seemed to give strength to Paul, and this was true.

This skill of covering the surrounding environment with a sanctuary was Paul’s specialty.

Paul, who received the power of Sanctuary, not only instantly received all of Gunther’s attacks, but also launched a powerful counterattack.

Kaang!

Although Gunther barely managed to block the sword swung by Paul, his body was unable to withstand all of Paul’s strength and was pushed back considerably.

“damn.”

He almost lost his balance and fell, but Gunther managed to straighten his posture.

Now that Paul has spread the sanctuary, it is not good for Gunther to enter that range.

Gunther massaged his aching wrist again and glared at Paul.

‘This is dangerous… This guy is making the terrain of the Demon World his own.’

The calculation that thought that a place called Magyeong would disadvantage both sides was wrong.

Paul is the final heresy inquisitor, considered the best among the clergy.

The air filled with the poison of the demonic world and the earth of the demonic world, which eats away one’s vitality just by touching it, have no effect on him.

‘If we continue to fight like this, we cannot guarantee victory. In that case, it would be better…’

The current battle aspect is merely an exploration war.

And Gunther had a hunch that this search war would not end lightly.

It is not a matter of winning or losing.

If you are seriously injured here, it will be a setback for you to carry out the emperor’s duties.

‘It might be better to ignore him.’

Gunther thought as he looked at the sanctuary Paul had created.

The biggest threat to Gunther now was Paul, who leads Luna’s power.

Here, where Paul had firmly established his own territory, Gunther did not have to fight with him.

As if he had read Gunther’s thoughts, Paul’s divine power spread even further.

Then, in an instant, Luna’s divine power surrounded Gunter, and the gray ground affected by it spread much wider.

The unspoken pressure to chase after you even if you run away.

‘It won’t be easy.’

Gunther judged that it was dangerous to carelessly turn his back, so he decided to focus on blocking Paul’s attack.

The strength of Paul, who has gathered divine power, is stronger than expected, but if it is to the point of being out of place…

Woe!

A powerful energy that comes as Gunther and Paul’s energy confront each other.

This energy did not radiate from Gunther and Paul.

“what?”

Gunther turned his head in surprise at this uninvited guest.

Just feeling this powerful energy coming from the air was an extraordinary force.

Could it be that there exists a demonic beast with this much energy in the demon world?

‘This is comparable to me and Paul…no, even more!’

Gunther watched Paul’s thoughts while being wary of an unknown entity that had not yet been confirmed.

It seemed that Paul was thinking the same thing as Gunther.

‘It’s coming this way! Who are they targeting? me? Or Paul?’

Either that or both.

Hook –

the energy that had strongly radiated one’s presence disappeared in an instant, as if the wind had stopped.

But it’s only for a moment.

Kwaaaaang!

Gunther instinctively raised his sword at the sudden explosion that erupted between him and Paul.

Thick dust rose, and only the silhouette of a person was visible inside it.

‘Who on earth…’

Smoke blends in with the gray-colored earth.

The silhouette had the shape of a human, but Gunther could not conclude that the suddenly appearing figure was human.

If there was a being with such strength among humans, there was no way that Gunther himself, who was said to be the strongest in the empire, would not know about it.

‘If it’s an enemy, it’s a big problem. Right now, I can’t guarantee a match against Paul.’

Gunther swallowed his saliva and put more strength into the hand holding the sword.

If the being that has just appeared targets you, even leaving the battlefield will be difficult.

There is no time to think anymore.

Gunther had to move, right now.

However, before Gunther could take action, a sword strike flashed through the smoke.

Spot-!

At that flash-like sword strike, the smoke that had been hiding my vision split in half and my vision slowly began to open.

Thanks to this, Gunther and Paul were able to see in detail the face of the unknown silhouette.

Ominously black hair.

And unlike them, they are young and full of energy.

“Long time no see. “Mr. Gunther.”

Dio appeared and greeted Gunter with a relaxed smile.

Gunther blinks, wondering how this happened.

Gunther could never understand Dio’s strength.

It certainly wasn’t at this level the last time I saw it.

How on earth did he become stronger in this short period of time?

“How is Delcid? “I don’t know if you would like my sword.”

Dio, paying no heed to Gunther’s embarrassed appearance, continued once again.

* * *

After confirming that the identity of the clash of enormous forces was Gunther and Paul, Dio quickly assessed the situation.

‘Are you both here to look for me? Gunther wouldn’t have come to kill me…’

Dio ruled out the situation where Gunther was his enemy.

Now that the system has confirmed that the number of followers of Solari within the empire has increased.

This was because there was absolutely no reason for the empire to be hostile towards him.

Dio took his eyes off Gunther, who had a blank expression on his face despite his greetings.

Immediately after that, he fixed his gaze on Paul, who was extremely wary of himself.

‘Paul Eppenhaus. Did you come to personally carry out the mission that Galletto and Elaine could not complete?’

Gunther is neutral or friendly, Paul is enemy.

Dio placed his hand on the sword at his waist without having to make any further judgment, as the situation was obvious without needing to talk about it.

ping-!

Dio’s solar attack was fired towards Paul.

Although it was a martial arts technique with astonishing speed, Paul was watching Dio’s actions and reacted immediately.

Let’s go!

Paul safely deflected Dio’s sword energy with his sword.

However, Dio’s use of the solar attack did not end with just one use.

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

As the sun attack overlapped several times, the sword energy that Dio fired was much thicker, and it seemed impossible for Paul to block it with just his sword.

Paul hurriedly raised his divine power to surround his body, and immediately Dio’s sword energy and Paul’s shield collided, causing a huge explosion.

Quagwagwagwang!

“oh my god.”

Gunther looked even more embarrassed by Dio’s overwhelming attack.

Dio, who had fully figured out why he was making such an expression, took his eyes off Paul and looked back at Gunther and grinned.

“How is it? Do you feel like you’ve grown a little more than before?”

“A little? “It’s only been a few months since I last saw you.”

Gunther responded to Dio’s words with a dejected look.

“How on earth can I become this strong? “It’s something I can’t understand with my common sense.”

Gunter devoted his entire life to swordsmanship.

Dio reached the level he achieved in just a few months.

There were several reasons why that was possible.

Whether it’s the help of the system or the experience of the deceased.

However, since he could not explain this in detail, Dio only said simple words that Gunther could understand.

“If you’re a great warrior of the sun, you have to do something like this.”

Gunther, who died by the sword and lived by the sword.

He couldn’t say anything to Dio’s words, which he said casually.
