Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 87

Episode 87

“Do you know what I regret the most?”

As soon as the projected image turned off, Calliope, who was making elixir, asked Dio.

“…well?”

Dio, who had many thoughts after seeing all of Calliope’s memories, looked into her eyes.

“Not only because I risked my life fighting with an old friend who understood me.”

Calliope continued speaking with a bitter expression.

“You said you were curious about my past, right? I grew up not knowing happiness. But just because I’m unhappy doesn’t mean other people should be unhappy too, right?”

Calliope closed her eyes as if reminiscing about the past.

“Before I was cursed, I worked at a monastery, where I raised orphans… and it’s the same now. “Even though I am a witch, my mission is to help those who suffer without sin.”

Dio heard Calliope’s words and realized why she was wandering around so much.

And it was also the case that the orphan Evelyn was taken in.

In addition, through Aldur’s conversation, he said that the Empire and the Luna Church are also aware of Calliope’s existence.

‘Because Aldur protected the existence of Calliope, he would have been able to operate comfortably in the sun.’

Only then did Dio understand why Calliope was able to roam freely in the east.

“It’s not like I can’t understand Aldur’s position. No matter how great a wizard he is, it is difficult for him to see through Luna’s wickedness.”

Aldur cannot disobey the saint’s orders.

Rather, it was surprising that the saint had left Calliope alone until now.

In any case, Aldur, who was friendly to Calliope, met to mediate the situation that had become complicated due to Dio’s own intervention.

It seemed like the two had gotten into a fight because their teeth had become misaligned.

‘If Calliope had been injured to this extent, Aldur would not have been safe either.’

It was fortunate that Calliope survived.

As was the case with Galleto, Dio began to feel a headache as the seven stars and five swords clashed in earnest.

Because I have never experienced such a case.

“That’s it.”

As the elixir was completed while they were talking, Calliope poured the blue liquid from the beaker into the vial.

“Are you okay with that?”

The produced elixir was only enough to be taken once.

Although elixir is an all-purpose recovery medicine, it seemed difficult to completely improve Calliope’s condition.

“don’t worry. The elixir will soothe my damaged mana, and afterward, if I heal slowly, it will recover on its own.”

Calliope spoke to Dio and drank the elixir in one go.

“Can I examine sepia only after it is fully recovered?”

“Hmmmm-”

In response to Dio’s question, Calliope waved her finger with the elixir in her mouth.

Calliope,

who swallowed all the elixir, looked around the corner of the laboratory with a brighter expression.

“Sepia is already finished. “I just need to wake her up.”

“Yeokrin?”

“okay. It doesn’t really take much effort. You just need to be detailed. So, if it’s me now, there’s no problem.”

The item Calliope was looking for was a bracelet.

‘It’s a bracelet that drops when you catch the Witch of Balance. It has a mana control buff, so it was good when raising a wizard.’

Calliope smiled at Dio, who was watching her.

“Then shall we hurry and go to Sepia? “You felt it too, right?”

“yes?”

“Oh, you didn’t notice?”

Dio was puzzled by Calliope’s words.

What did you feel?

“There is a threat coming. “It’s extremely dark and ominous.”

“…!!”

* * *

Calliope and Dio headed straight to the place where their companions were.

Calliope opened her mouth at the gathering where Dio and the others gathered.

“everyone. “I need you to go outside for a moment.”

“yes?”

After finishing talking with Dio, Calliope began to drive Dajjagojja and his companions out of Dajjagojja.

At this, the party members who did not know why looked at Dio.

Since Dio was the only one who talked to Calliope, the party members were probably curious about what kind of conversation they had between them.

“All business here is over. Sepia, you stay for a moment.”

“yes? “Just me?”

Sepia’s eyes shook as if she was anxious at Dio’s words.

“okay. Calliope will check on your condition for a moment.”

“What does that have to do with everyone going out?”

“Is that because it only disturbs others?”

Sepia asked Dio, but Calliope answered instead.

Calliope grabbed Sepia’s anxious shoulder and whispered to her.

“Don’t worry. “It’s just a brief fall.”

“….”

Sepia looked at Dio, feeling even more anxious at Calliope’s words.

It’s not that he doesn’t know the burden of Sephia being left alone with the Witch of Balance, but Dio had no choice.

Calliope said that although she had taken the elixir, her body was still not in perfect condition, so she had to borrow the power of the ‘lake’ here.

Calliope’s mansion, hidden beneath Topaz Lake, is not just a home.

Calliope revealed that the lake itself contained her power and that she could use it to overcome Sepia’s evil.

“We can’t leave Sepia alone!”

Ates, who was watching this, came out and shouted.

Ates was almost killed by Calliope.

Nevertheless, Artes gathered courage and spoke.

Even though his voice trembled.

“If that doesn’t work, I’ll stay.”

“What are you doing?”

Sephia sounded as if she was astonished by Ates’ words.

“Well, everyone, we don’t have time. “Move quickly.”

Dio pushed the depressed Artes away with his feet and urged the other party members.

He then looked at Sepia, who was looking at him anxiously, and nodded.

‘It’s scary, but…I trust you, Dio.’

Sephia took her eyes off Dio, who had left the mansion, and turned to Calliope, who was looking at her.

“There is a lot of trust in him. “Is it really the key and the chosen one?”

Calliope smiled as she looked at Sepia who was facing her, and soon spread her arms to the sides.

Suddenly,

all the doors to the mansion closed.

* * *

“…my imperfect power. Calliope can solve this?”

“Do you know why you are imperfect?”

Calliope asked a question in response to Sepia’s question.

But Sephia, who had no way of knowing this, shook her head.

Sephia doesn’t know why she gained the power of the sun in the first place.

“Your body contains memories of the past.”

“yes?”

“You can’t feel the power of the sun without recalling that memory. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be used.”

“….”

At Calliope’s words, Sepia recalled a time when she lost consciousness and ran wild.

“What are those memories… exactly?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. “Anyway, those memories will be someone else’s, not yours, Sepia.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“It’s okay if you don’t understand. “Because the key is with you.”

Even though they knew that Sepia was the chosen one, the seven stars kept Sepia’s latent power quiet.

The reason was the absence of a ‘key’.

The sun god gave an oracle to the seven stars.

When the key appears and calms the mind of the chosen one, awaken the power.

With a warning that if you touch the memories of the chosen one without the key by your side, your body may be damaged.

“shall we start?”

“yes? “What…”

Sepia felt the floor tremble without any way to resolve her curiosity from Calliope, who made no effort to understand her.

Coogung!

What Sepia felt was not an illusion.

The water of the lake surrounding the mansion.

The movement of the water was unusual.

Due to Calliope’s barrier, the flow of water in the lake, which had no effect on the mansion, suddenly fluctuated.

Clink!

Is this the sound of a barrier breaking?

Sephia was embarrassed as she watched the water rushing into the mansion.

“Mistress Calliope?”

Kwagwagwagwa-

Water filling the mansion in an instant. Sephia looked at Calliope, but she just smiled.

Suddenly, Calliope wondered if she was planning to bury her, but Sepia remembered Dio’s words telling her not to worry.

As I thought of him, peace came to my mind and I slowly closed my eyes.

“yes.”

Calliope stirred the air as if she was satisfied with Sepia’s actions…

Gurgling!

The lake water pouring down like a waterfall instantly covered Sepia.

* * *

‘You look so much like her.’

This is the thought that came to Calliope’s mind when she saw Sephia visiting her mansion.

It was Walpurgis Night about ten years ago.

At that time, where all seven stars were gathered, Ludens spoke.

The chosen one has appeared.

He said he would move his base for the growth of the chosen one.

The seven stars, including Calliope, did not believe it at first.

But I do know that Ludens, like Kalphael, is not the type of person to spout nonsense at any time.

So Calliope went to Sepia, who was under Ludens’ protection, and secretly watched her.

So why?

The power of the sun shown by Sepia, who lost consciousness after being caught up in an unexpected accident.

Calliope and the other seven stars were convinced.

That Sephia is the chosen one.

However, they still couldn’t tell Sepia about their existence or the power of the sun.

That’s because of Solari’s instructions to wait for the key.

So Calliope waited.

May the key come back to you someday along with the chosen one.

Sepia, whom they reunited with at Topaz Lake, surprisingly resembled ‘her’ a lot.

I vaguely felt it when I was young, but now I completely feel it…

More than anything, I feel the power of that child.

The energy was so warm and longing that it reminded me of her a thousand years ago.

Ah,

I miss this holy woman so much.

Calliope looked at Sepia, which had been swallowed up by the lake water.

Calliope was worried because she was deeply hurt by Aldur.

Because in his injured state, he wouldn’t be able to help Sepia and he wouldn’t be able to feel ‘her’.

However, Calliope’s worries were for naught and the key solved it all at once.

D.I.O.

He is the key and the true warrior of the sun.

History repeats itself.

It was like that then too.

Protecting her was always the responsibility of the Great Master.

Coo coo coo coo-

The calm lake begins to shake violently.

Sephia, who was worried about the sudden water baptism, looked surprisingly calm.

‘So…did you have this all planned out too? ‘I can’t stop you.’

Calliope smiled faintly, remembering ‘her’.

Is it reincarnation?

Or is it an incarnation?

It doesn’t matter what.

With this, the eternity of waiting for the sun came to an end.

Messenger of the sun.

Bringer of Light.

The sun that has set rises again.

* * *

Dio’s group standing outside the lake was busy looking around, not knowing what was happening.

Immediately after they left Calliope’s mansion and came ashore.

This is because the calm lake suddenly became turbulent.

The party was worried about Sepia under the lake, but Dio was different.

Dio, who had completed all of Calliope’s missions, was just waiting for the quest reward.

Flash – A

blindingly bright light erupted across the lake.

It’s like the sun is underneath the lake.

Wow –

a dazzling light source rising in the middle of the lake.

A person holding his breath and closing his eyes in the middle of the light source.

Sepia opened her eyes and looked down at the lake.

And when she slowly took her steps, surprisingly, the water of the lake played the role of the earth supporting her.

Sepia, who had been trained through hard training, was as strong as most warriors.

However, the current sepia was emitting a more noble and sacred light than anyone else.

The only being that could compare to this was ‘her’ who disappeared a thousand years ago.
