Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 109

Episode 109

Dalimus Vertio.

As the head of the Duke of Bertio, he had a size worthy of the nickname King of the East.

His huge, muscular body was like that of a lion.

Dalimus looked at Dio, recalling Bertio’s history and his conversation with his ‘mother’ Calliope.

* * *

“The lion cub has grown into a full-fledged lion?”

“nice to see you. mother.”

Dalimus dared to kneel politely to Calliope, who appeared unannounced at the Bertio family mansion.

“Oh, mother. It’s a nostalgic title. Anyway, Actus is a fool.”

“I am offended, but what you said about the progenitor….”

“Okay, okay. However, the word ‘first’ is incorrect. I saw you when you were born. Hehehe.”

Despite Calliope’s jokes trying to lighten the solemn atmosphere, Dalimus still did not relax.

The opponent is ‘Mother’ who is with Bertio’s history.

There was a record handed down to the head of the Bertio family that the family’s progenitor, Actus Bertio, had made a great contribution to establishing the family.

If so, it means that it has been living for at least 700 years.

Gulping, Dalimus hid his nervousness and listened to his mother Calliope.

“Anyway, I have somewhere to go with you. “It also happened to the four lion cubs who ran away from home.”

“…! Have you met Ates by any chance?”

“okay. “I almost killed him when he entered my base.”

Calliope said as if it was no big deal.

“You know because you’ve heard it for generations. “A story about the ‘key.’”

“….”

Calliope began with meaningful words and briefly explained what was currently happening in Ox.

Dalimus, who heard the situation, muttered to himself.

“The warlock, the Luna Church, and the key…”

“Well, even if it’s not these things, these are things that happened in the eastern part of the country. Can you just stay quiet?”

“That is correct. “I will prepare right away.”

“Yes, it is the Bertio family’s area and it is also my area.”

Dalimus, sensing the seriousness of the situation, stood up.

He immediately summoned the best knights available to accompany him.

And they were able to quickly arrive at Ox through the gate prepared by Calliope.

* * *

‘It’s much worse than I expected.’

As soon as Dalimus stepped on the land of Ox, he frowned at the terrible demonic energy.

According to my mother, the warlock who invaded Ox was none other than the 8th circle warlock Ruave Delakiel.

For someone who became infamous throughout the continent, this level of damage was probably natural.

“That pattern!”

“father?”

Dalimus left behind the people who recognized him and looked at his son.

Despite being able to enjoy everything as a relative of the dukedom, Ates took on the challenge of a dangerous world.

Dalimus has known this for a long time.

That Artes is a much better talent than my brother.

But there was something more important than reuniting with my son right now.

“From now on, control of this place will be governed by the name of Dalimus Bertio, the head of the great Bertio family.”

The Luna Church members who had been fighting just a moment ago were unable to say anything at Dalimus’s solemn words.

“Arrest them.”

“this person! On the topic of the matriarch of the frontier! You really want to interfere with the affairs of the Luna Church…”

“It’s ridiculous that you are the head of the border. “Even if I kill you here, the church won’t take any action.”

Dalimus twitched the corners of his mouth and continued.

“This is the East. “No one can stop my will.”

Telzia tried to make a final struggle, but Dalimus immediately cut her off.

This is a decision made directly by the head of Bertio.

Telzia and the Holy Knights dispatched with her from the Holy Kingdom were also unable to resist because they were instructed to avoid friction with the head of the family as much as possible.

“Take care of the wounded. “So that the cursed villagers can also be transported safely.”

“yes!”

Dalimus, who succinctly dismissed the situation, turned to look at a person.

‘The author is the key.’

Dalimus’ eyes lit up as he looked at Dio.

The will of Bertio’s ancestors who achieved great achievements is the same as that of his mother.

‘The person my mother is paying attention to… I think we need to get closer to him than anyone else.’

Dalimus recognized Dio’s value at a glance.

Of course, even if it was not what his mother said, the author defended the eastern lands on his behalf against the infamous Luave.

In addition, he proved his outstanding worth by saving the life of his son, who was caught up in the incident.

‘Bertio received a great favor.’

Although he had a dirty look due to all the hardships, his expression and attitude gave off the most outstanding energy among them.

I guess I’m relieved that the whole situation is over and the Luna Church can’t do anything anymore due to my intervention.

Be constantly alert to your surroundings.

But he didn’t look scared either.

Dalimus smiled at the man who was not afraid at all even in front of the lion.

Although his skills seemed weak, his boldness was worthy of recognition.

‘I like it.’

* * *

“Is that Dio, mother?”

“mother?”

It was Ates who was more surprised than anyone else at Dalimus’ question to Calliope.

Does that mean that Ates will become her own grandmother?

A person named Calliope…or a witch?

The existence of Calliope is passed down only to the head of the Bertio family.

There was no way Ates knew this, and he simply opened his mouth because he did not understand Dalimus’ words.

Dalimus, who postponed explaining to Ates, who had turned white, approached Dio while looking at Calliope who nodded. Dio swallowed his saliva as

he

looked at Dalimus approaching him.

Ates seems to take after her mother.

The only thing that Bertio’s matriarch has in common with Ates is that she is blonde.

‘Is this a bear or a person?’

Muscles that look like they’re going to burst, comparable to that monster-like Galletto.

A grim face that does not fit the image of a duke who can be said to be a great nobleman.

However, it was not necessarily overwhelming in its external appearance.

Thump-thump-thump-

As Dalimus got closer, Dio’s heart began to beat stronger.

As the head of a master swordsman, I felt the aura overflowing with my skin.

‘I didn’t know it when it was a game…’

Unlike when playing the order board, the current Dio could directly feel the invisible forces.

The power that leaks out because you can’t store it is so bad that if you use your true power, it will be difficult to even breathe.

‘But you call Calliope your mother? It’s probably not really a mother-son relationship, and it’s probably Bertio’s background that I didn’t know about.’

I glanced at Calliope over Dalimus’ shoulder and came to my own conclusion.

The opponent is a person who was related to Calliope, one of the seven stars, before being the head of Bertio.

‘I’m sure they won’t accuse us of heresy like the Luna Church.’

I didn’t think so, but I couldn’t lower my tension in the face of a new strongman.

“Do you understand what you have done?”

Dalimus spoke solemnly.

He only perfunctorily asked about Dio’s whereabouts in order to praise him for saving Ox… but

that alone touched the auror and made Dio’s legs shake.

Dio strengthened his whole body and finally got rid of his fear and thought.

‘What is this sound?’

To this, Dio was unable to answer right away.

This was because the cautious Dio had not yet figured out Dalimus’ intentions.

‘What did you do? It’s clear that Calliope brought him here, but haven’t you heard the story?’

The moment a confused Dio was about to get caught up in his thoughts, Conrad stepped in and spoke on Dio’s behalf.

“I meet the head of the family, Bertio.”

He asked Dio, but when an unexpected person intervened, Dalimus made a disapproving expression.

“What about you?”

“I am Conrad, a member of the Eastern Luna Church.”

Conrad, like Dio, was also very nervous.

The person I am talking to is the King of the East.

But Conrad had something he wanted to say on Dio’s behalf.

Because Telzia accused Dio of heresy, Conrad wanted to let Dalimus know that she and he had different opinions.

Because that’s the truth and it’s true that Dio saved his life and everyone’s life here.

“Dia’s efforts here were a big part of being able to stop Luave from invading Oaks.”

“Diamond? “Oh, I see.”

From Conrad’s words calling Dio “Dia,” Dalimus was able to guess that he had met them using an alias.

Afterwards, Conrad immediately began praising Dio, who had made the most contribution to Ox.

“This is a hero who risked his life to save people. “This can be sworn in the name of the Commander of the Order of the Knights of the Eastern Diocese, and it is my opinion that you should receive the compensation you deserve.”

‘what? ‘Strangely.’

Dio frowned at Conrad’s excessive praise.

Still, Dio was secretly grateful to Conrad when the leader of the Holy Knights of the Luna Church came forward and spoke like this.

Conrad also contributed significantly to capturing Luave.

However, most of the credit went to D.O. due to his current remarks.

Dalimus’ mouth formed a twisted smile as he listened to Conrad’s words.

‘What are you scared of?’

Dalimus only smiled, satisfied with Conrad’s words, but it didn’t seem that way at all to others.

Rather, it looks like he is thinking of some scary plan.

“I will listen to the details later.”

After saying these words, Dio breathed a sigh of relief at Dalimus’ actions of not saying anything else.

I was worried because Telzia was still shouting and claiming that Dio was a heretic, so I was worried for no reason.

“mother. “Please do it again.”

“Hmm, I was originally planning on doing it.”

Dalimus approached Calliope and once again asked for the gate leading to the Duke’s House.

When Calliope lightly snapped her fingers, the huge arch gate appeared again with a thunderous sound.

“Now, let’s get things sorted out.”

“All right.”

When the arch door opened, Calliope waved her hand and stepped into the gate first.

“Everyone move. “Treat the injured first.”

“yes!”

At Dalimus’s words, Bertio’s soldiers immediately began moving people to the gate.

They led the last group of captured Telzians to the gate and Dalimus, who watched them all, also headed to the gate.

The moment he was about to step through the gate, Dalimus stopped, looked back, and opened his mouth.

“What are you doing? “Without following me.”

“Oh yeah.”

Dio immediately came to his senses and answered Dalimus’ words.

‘Duke Bertio…’

Dio’s mind quickly turned to the unexpected new destination.

It was a perfect place to recover from the wounds from fighting Luave and to move around.

The other party members were also very tired both physically and mentally.

“Athes. Wake.”

“yes? Ah yes.”

Ates, who was preoccupied in a different way than Dio, woke up in shock.

I still couldn’t understand the relationship between Bertio and Calliope.

Artes began to get nervous again as he looked at the Duke’s house beyond the gate.

“Let’s go. I will take the lead.”

Although nervous, Ates seemed excited about heading to his parents’ house and headed to the gate, helping Sepia, who was exhausted.

The entire group followed suit, and Dalimus only smiled at them with a scary smile that would surprise others.

* * *

A week had passed since Dio and his party entered the Bertio family mansion.

“You will not be able to leave here.”

The words fell out of Dalimus’ mouth like a thunderbolt.
