Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 110

Episode 110,

a week ago.

After crossing the portal created by Calliope, Dio and his party entered the center of Duke Bertio’s territory.

Dio, who stayed in the castle where Duke Dalimus resided, underwent adequate recuperation.

Because of the fight with Luave, the bodies of the party members were stained with demonic energy.

Although Calliope drained the demonic energy, it still took time for the bodies of Dio and the others to fully recover.

Although the group survived the battle with the 8th Circle warlock, it was because they did not grow enough to overcome the aftereffects right away.

* * *

‘It’s still sore.’

Dio massaged my shoulders and got up from the bed.

Although he has improved a lot after two days of recuperation, he suffered quite a bit from muscle pain on the first day.

Because he risked his life to move, it was strained both mentally and physically.

“Phew-”

Dio drank the water left on the table and briefly summarized the events that happened here.

Perhaps thanks to Calliope, Dalimus treated Dio and his group as honored guests.

A thorough investigation was conducted on other Bertio soldiers and priests of the Luna Church who participated in the battlefield in Ox.

Dio and his companions received luxurious treatment in a magnificent mansion.

They even tried to summon the clergy of the church within the territory, but Dio vehemently refused, so they never came.

‘Apart from Sephia and I, Evelyn and Roberto are a little anxious.’

It might not be easy to find out, but since they were witches and vampires, it was better to avoid contact with priests as much as possible.

Moreover, there is no need to increase the number of eyes to see.

Dio himself is in the class of ‘Great Warrior of the Sun’… but as a believer in the sun, there is no point in receiving help from other priests.

‘In particular, it is obvious that other priests will have doubts about Sepia’s overflowing divine power.’

There is no need to increase the number of eyes you see.

Although the Luna Church troops who participated in the Battle of Ox had already witnessed its power.

Telzia treats Dio as a heretic, but she does not know anything about the history of a thousand years ago or the ‘sun’.

However, one thing is certain: Saint Kaleina of the Luna Church knows the existence of the seven stars and the sun god.

‘This is different from the original game. Anyway, I need to keep an eye on Kaleina’s movements as a top priority.’

Dalimus is holding Telzia, but he cannot hold her forever.

In addition, Conrad and other clergy who cooperated with the investigation will probably return to the Eastern Church at an early date.

Conrad will report Dio to his superiors as a brave mercenary who fought against warlocks.

Judging by his personality, where he seems to dislike things getting complicated, he probably wants to pass the blame to someone else and pass the case over.

But Kaleyna is not stupid.

There is a very high possibility that additional investigators will be dispatched, including Telzia’s work.

‘If troops of Galleto’s level arrive, there is no answer.’

If Kaleina made up her mind and drew her sword, even Duke Bertio would have a hard time stopping them.

Of course, it is unlikely that she would thoughtlessly bring up political confrontation, but you never know.

‘Shall we discuss future schedules with Sepia?’

Before making future plans, it was necessary to check the physical condition of the group members.

Dio put down the glass of water he was drinking and walked out the door.

“Dia. “Are you awake?”

A maid outside bowed to Dio.

Currently, Dio is known as a mercenary who protected the eastern land from the black magician in the name of Diamond.

“If you have any inconvenience, please tell me right away.”

“are you okay.”

Dio gestured down at the maid’s behavior, which was as convenient as it was burdensome.

Even though it was not Dalimus’ order, Dio’s status was a distinguished guest who helped Bertio protect the village and brought the family’s second son back safely.

Although they do not know the details, they maintain a very favorable attitude after hearing that an 8th Circle warlock attacked a small eastern village.

‘It’s so uncomfortable.’

On his first day here, it was extremely awkward for Dio, a modern man, to have a maid.

However, after getting used to it for a few days, Dio told the maid that she would heat water and prepare a meal, saying that she understood, and then went out to find Sepia’s room.

“Hello, Diamond!”

“Oh yeah.”

“I heard you defeated 100 warlocks! “You are truly amazing.”

“100 people?”

Dio is just dumbfounded by the fuss of the Bertio soldiers guarding the hallway.

Their respectful gaze is as burdensome as the maids’ attitude.

It seemed as though Dio’s activities were being exaggerated and rumors were spreading among the soldiers.

Dio barely managed to ignore their enthusiastic cheers and arrived in front of Sephia’s room.

“sepia. it’s me.”

Dio knocked lightly and opened his mouth, and soon Sepia’s voice was heard from inside the room.

“Ah, Dio. Come on in.”

When Dio entered the room in response to Sepia’s answer, he could see her sitting on the bed.

“How are you feeling?”

“It’s a little sore, but it’s okay.”

Dio nodded as he watched Sepia wake up energetically, shaking her hands and feet.

It was Sephia who took a direct hit from Luave’s powerful black magic.

If Dio had not canceled it in advance, even Sephia, who had awakened to sainthood, would have been in danger.

“Did I say it would take two more days to fully recover?”

“yes. “I think I need to keep purifying.”

Sepia raised her veiny arm and clenched and unclenched her fist.

Then black smoke began to seep out from inside her palm.

It is a level 8 black magic that stole the power of life.

Although it was broken in the middle, a significant amount of demonic energy had seeped into the sepia’s interior.

‘It’s still too much for the 8th circle level.’

Dio continued to observe Sephia purifying her demon energy.

The black smoke that appeared disappeared even though there was no wind.

It seemed like if I pulled out my demonic energy periodically like this, I would be completely cured without any problems.

As Sepia said, at least two days, so three or four days would be enough.

If Sephia had not awakened as a saint, her soul would have been drained or her mind would have been consumed by demonic energy like the villagers of Oaks.

“But how did you learn the magic you used? “Does Calliope teach you that too?”

“Well…”

In response to Dio’s question, Sepia began to explain in detail about past events.

Calliope, whose strength has been restored to some extent with the help of Elixir, uses illusion magic at the level of Kalphael.

She showed Sepia the techniques she remembered used by the saint a thousand years ago.

“I only learned a few things because I didn’t have time.”

“So you mean I can learn more?”

“yes. Calliope said she would help me whenever she had time. “It’s also in my head.”

Dio was quite surprised by Sepia’s words.

The sacred magic that Sephia used at that time was of a far higher level compared to her level.

Although we were defeated by Luave’s power, that was unavoidable.

There is a level difference, and Luave is an 8th circle warlock who has entered the ranks of archmages.

In any case, it was clear that if Sephia leveled up further and acquired skills through Calliope’s teachings, she would definitely become extremely strong.

It certainly seemed like he taught Sepia diligently as his student.

It’s not that Calliope wasn’t able to completely heal Sephia even now because she lacked the ability.

It seems that the treatment was intentionally vague so that Sepia could practice purifying her own demonic energy.

‘Anyway, Jeonghwa….’

The accident that started from Jeonghwa went beyond divine power and spread to the saint.

‘Caliope…I have many memories of the previous saint. Were they quite close friends?’

Dio thought for a moment about the relationship between the Witch of Balance and the Saint of the Sun and thought he should catch me and ask about it.

Due to Calliope’s personality, I don’t think she will tell you gently, but…

“Calliope says she will help you, but be careful, Sepia. Honestly, you should be able to trust the seven stars.”

“why?”

“Why, why? “We all almost died because Calliope was late.”

“That’s…”

Dio had already heard from Sepia why Calliope was late.

This is because I stopped by the Bertio family at the same time as I was looking for Ates, who had deserted from the front line.

That’s why she was able to appear with the head of the family, Bertio.

But even taking all of this into account, Dio couldn’t help but think that she had delayed things on purpose.

‘You might want to check Sepia’s abilities. Or you were testing me.’

Dio gritted his teeth as he thought of Kalphael, who was similar to Calliope.

What they both have in common is that they do things that could lead to their death.

I can’t help but feel very bad about it.

“Thanks to you, I have become stronger, but what good is it if I die?”

“Yeah…what.”

Sepia looked at Dio’s dissatisfied words and nodded.

“Now that I think about it…”

As he looked at Sephia, who had become stronger than before, Dio suddenly thought of her only family.

Dio hesitated on whether to say this or not, but decided that it would be better to say it for Sepia’s sake, so he continued.

“Will Sigmund, who was captured by the cult, be safe?”

News from Sigmund that I overheard in Estellum.

We haven’t heard much since then, so we don’t know where Sigmund is currently and what he is doing.

However, in the past, he could not help Sigmund because he had no power, but now it is different.

Nowadays, Sepia can figure out Sigmund’s whereabouts and come up with a plan to rescue him while he is being held captive by the church.

“You will be safe. “Because he’s my brother.”

Sepia looked a little surprised, not knowing that Dio would bring up Sigmund first, but soon smiled.

“Shall we take a look?”

“no. Now is the time to focus on growth. “More than now…”

Sepia said firmly, grabbing the demonic energy coming out of her body and extinguishing it.

‘The Sigmund I knew wouldn’t be defeated so easily.’

Dio quietly went out to visit Sepia, who was deep in thought about her future growth.

She knows too.

Although it has become stronger, it is still far from enough to fight the Luna Church head-on.

If you move to save Sigmund with your mediocre strength, it is as obvious as fire that you will be caught by the five swords.

‘okay. We have to become stronger. Luave…enough to win even if you fight a bigger enemy.’

* * *

After leaving Sepia’s room, Dio went straight to Evelyn’s room.

‘What is this guy like?’

The most difficult thing after the Ox incident was Evelyn.

Although she almost died like everyone else, she suffered a lot mentally.

‘He seemed very close to the wizard of the Magic Tower. Was his name Yudan?’

Yudan, a Magic Tower wizard employed by the Bertio family.

He made a contribution from the beginning by setting up a barrier with Evelyn and providing a lot of magical support to prevent Luave’s invasion.

But he is not here now.

No, not in this world.

‘He was a good friend.’

He died fighting the warlock until the end.

The duke’s family will provide considerable compensation for Yudan and other casualties…

but no amount of gold or silver can put a price on the death of a young wizard with a bright future.

Not only Yudan’s work, but also the people of Oaks, Evelyn’s hometown, who had been [Mana Eater] by Luave, also worried her a lot.

‘Charles was there too.’

They survived, but because they were cursed, they were isolated separately within the Bertio duchy.

Evelyn, who was trying to forget the past and create new memories, was very depressed because of this whole situation.

The moment Dio placed his hand on the doorknob, wondering what words to comfort Evelyn, a loud voice was heard from inside the room.

“I told you I don’t eat carrots!”

“At best, I asked the chef to make porridge.”

“I want cake!”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to eat anything until yesterday?”

“profit…! Oh, just ask for cake!”

As always, Eveline and Roberto’s bickering echoes outside the hallway.

Fortunately, Roberto’s condition was the best among the group, and he was taking good care of Evelyn.

Indeed, it is Roberto who has undergone mental training under Schuwald.

Even though it was harsh, there was nothing else that could withstand Evelyn’s flock.

‘Should I leave Eveline to Roberto?’

Dio, who heard Evelyn’s voice complaining as usual, walked away from the door and turned his back.

‘Is today’s schedule a meeting with the head of the family?’

Bertio’s head Dalimus suggested that they talk to Dio after he recovers somewhat.

That’s today.

‘It’s probably about compensation, right? I hope Calliope says it well.’

Sure enough, they had defeated a warlock in the East, but they wouldn’t have sent him in empty-handed.
