《Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory》 Chapter 1 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 1Surviving as an SSS-level warehouse character Episode 1 Today was another hard day. From going to work early in the morning to finishing work and returning home. This may be the same for all office workers, but this treadmill-like daily routine is always arduous. Physically difficult? That¡¯s the second problem. A daily life where I have to repeat soullessly things that anyone, even if not me, can do. Because that was the biggest hardship for Junwoo. ¡®Why doesn¡¯t time pass like this?¡¯ That¡¯s why Junwoo wanted to give meaning to his daily life after work. This is exactly why he plays games. Because ¡®I¡¯ in the game could exist as myself. Unlike in reality, Junwoo in the game was superior to others. Because he was a being who could do many things that others could not. Game ¡®Over the Fantasy¡¯. In other words, it was a special space where Junwoo could realize his self. ¡°You drafted the report, Assistant Manager Kim, right?¡± ¡°Yep, Chief. ¡°It¡¯s finished.¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work. Now let¡¯s let our team get off work.¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work!¡± Thanks to this, despite the hardships, Junwoo was able to gain strength again on his way home from work. ¡®Kkaltoe gunnery success!¡¯ Today in particular was a little more special day. ¡®It¡¯s six o¡¯clock now¡­ I¡¯m sure a notice has been posted on the public website, right?¡¯ Junwoo¡¯s life game over the fantasy. It was the first large-scale update for this godgame in three years. ¡°It¡¯s up¡­! ¡°It¡¯s up!¡± Junwoo¡¯s eyes were sparkling more than usual after checking the update notice. * * * Over the Fantasy was a slightly unusual game. It has more realistic technology than any other recently released virtual reality game. It was the game with the lowest sales among the world-famous virtual reality games. Is it because the technology is good and the game is not fun? Some users say this, but Junwoo never thought that way. Over the fantasy. This game, called ¡®Order Board¡¯ for short, had all the big and small episodes, starting with the main quest, more exciting and realistic than any other game. So, Junwoo thought that there were three reasons why sales on the order board were overwhelmingly low. first. Because the BM (Business Model) is bad. second. Because it¡¯s not an MMORPG. third. Because the game is too difficult. Order Board was a game where there was little need to spend money once you started playing. This means that, let alone the gacha system that can be found in any game these days, there are almost no means of purchasing in-game items by charging cash. Except for convenience items, they were not sold for cash at all. Of course, the order version package price is not cheap. The package price was several times more expensive than other virtual reality games. But at best, it¡¯s around 1 million won. Considering that other virtual reality game rankers are lavishing hundreds of millions of dollars, it could not have been an angelic BM (Business Model). ¡®Those who have lost hundreds of dollars on gacha while playing other games end up not starting the order board because the package price is expensive.¡¯ Moreover, users who spend a lot of money want to show off their power acquired through real money. Maybe users who spend money on games are trying to buy a sense of superiority with money. However, Order Board is a package game, not an MMORPG. Common comments from users are that it is a game that feels like DiaX in single mode with a higher degree of freedom. Of course, limited interaction between users was possible through a special space called the ¡®Dimension Gap¡¯. However, like an MMORPG, it was not structured so that it could reign over numerous users within the worldview. Additionally, it was difficult. Order Board is a game where you have to become stronger only with skill, not with money. In this game, you have to give cash to other users in the dimensional gap to buy good equipment, but if you are not good enough, you will only end up getting robbed by monsters and becoming penniless. It was a very unfavorable game for wallet warriors. So, from Junwoo¡¯s perspective, the order board had a structure that could not be released until sales were made. Of course, that¡¯s why it was the best godgame for Junwoo. ¡®God game. What makes me so excited about the update¡­.¡¯ Junwoo was, to put it mildly, the deadliest among the dead on the order board. ¡®Thanks for the update, LB brothers. Please don¡¯t ruin it.¡¯ He cleared more episodes than any other user playing the Order Board. He was the only one who had as many as seven max level characters. Considering that users who usually call themselves stagnant water in the order board community only have 2 to 3 characters at max level, Junwoo is so stagnant that it can be said to be rotten water. ¡°As with the large-scale update, new classes have been created, right?¡± Junwoo was a person with greater talent than anyone else in this game called the order board. ¡®good. New class dual swordsman? I searched. It will run right to the top of the rankings over the weekend.¡¯ Junwoo¡¯s steps toward home began to get faster. There was still plenty of time left until the update anyway, but there were things I needed to do by logging in as soon as possible. That¡¯s right¡­. ¡®It¡¯s been a while since I finished organizing the warehouse.¡¯ It was a matter of accessing the warehouse character, which was no different from Junwoo¡¯s treasure trove. ¡®It may be too late to organize all the items before the update.¡¯ The reason why Junwoo wanted to organize the warehouse was simple. The idea is to set up all the items needed to develop new characters before the update. Although there is still insufficient information about the new class, the items needed to develop a new character are still set to some extent. Junwoo was a man who was well-versed in the numerous types of items needed to overcome the early scenarios most efficiently. Beep- beep beep beep! Junwoo opened the door with lightning-like movements and entered the house. After washing and quickly changing clothes, he immediately entered the capsule and sat down. Tiring-! Next, a familiar system message appears before my eyes. [User ¡®Kim Jun-woo¡¯ iris recognition completed.] [Welcome to the world of Over the Fantasy.] [Select the character you want to access.] The list of characters that appeared before Jun-woo¡¯s eyes along with the message was truly gorgeous. . Numerous max-level characters wearing dazzling equipment and giving off a dazzling aura! However, Junwoo passed by those flashy characters and chose the simple character in the most corner. [You selected the character ¡®D.O. (Lv10) / Class (none)¡¯.] Among all the level 500 characters, Junwoo was the only one who chose the unsightly character of level 10. It was a neglected character that I decided to call Dio because there were only 5 days left until the D-day of a junior¡¯s wedding, which I know was a very crude nickname. [Start connecting to the world of ¡®Over the Fantasy¡¯.] The level 10 character that Junwoo connected to was created solely to store items. He was a so-called ¡®warehouse character¡¯ who didn¡¯t even change jobs. * * * The second chapter of Over the Fantasy, , was scheduled to be updated at exactly midnight. So, considering that Junwoo arrived home at 7 o¡¯clock, there was quite a bit of time left. But even 5 hours was not enough for Junwoo. Because Junwoo has never cleaned out the warehouse in the past year. ¡®This is taking longer than I thought.¡¯ Moreover, there are as many as five warehouses that Junwoo needs to organize. In Over the Fantasy, there is a ¡®base village¡¯ for each field level, and each village is provided with one warehouse. Still, now that we¡¯ve visited four places, we¡¯ll be roughly finished with just organizing the last remaining warehouse. ¡®Ha, now only Evra village remains.¡¯ Evra Village is a base village for middle-level players who are about level 100 to level 150. [You have accessed the ¡®dimensional gap.¡¯] To go there, Junwoo accessed the dimensional gap. [Use the ¡®Subspace Portal¡¯.] [You have paid 100 dimensional coins.] [Go to ¡®Evra Village¡¯.] Evra Village, a base for level 100 users, naturally has a level 10 ¡®Dio¡¯ character. It is a place that cannot be reached through ordinary means. However, by using the ¡®Dimension Gap¡¯ and ¡®Dimension Coin¡¯, the only cash currency on the order board, you can travel to and from any village. In fact, if it weren¡¯t for this system, raising warehouse characters on the order board would have been meaningless. ¡®Let¡¯s see. There is an item to take from the Ebra village warehouse¡­¡¯ Junwoo skillfully arrived at the village warehouse and immediately found the NPC. The warehouse manager in Evra Village is an elderly NPC named ¡®Tony¡¯. ¡°Hehe Dio, it¡¯s been a while since you came.¡± ¡°Yes, Grandpa Tony.¡± ¡°I guess you came to check out subspace, right?¡± ¡°sure.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see¡­ The usage fee is 1 silver.¡± ¡°thank you.¡± When he handed Tony 1 silver, a large warehouse inventory opened in front of Junwoo. On the order board, warehouse usage fees are proportional to the character¡¯s level. This was also the reason why Junwoo¡¯s warehouse character was level 10. The higher the warehouse level, the higher the maintenance costs. ¡°Oh, I told you where I put the Lycan Kukri knife!¡± Junwoo found the item he was looking for and put it in his inventory with a grumpy expression on his face. Evra Village was the warehouse with the least number of items, so it was the last one we came to, but even so, there were a mountain of items to sort out. ¡®Why didn¡¯t I throw away these miscellaneous items and put them back?¡¯ A warning system message saying that an update will begin soon rang out, but¡­ [Server maintenance for a large-scale update will begin in 15 minutes.] [Adventurers, please log out in a safe place until maintenance begins. [I give it to you¡­] Junwoo didn¡¯t even pay attention to the message. The base village, ¡®Evra Village¡¯, was one of the safest places on the order board. ¡®Well, it¡¯ll come out on its own when the time comes.¡¯ If Jun-woo had been playing in a dangerous hunting ground, he would have returned to the village as soon as he saw the message¡­ but in the base village, there is not much risk even if he is forced to quit. At least in my experience so far, it has always been like that. [Server maintenance for a large-scale update will begin in 5 minutes.] [Adventurers¡­] So Junwoo was completely in a trance in the warehouse. And that was¡­ crackling- crackling- [System error.] [No more messages can be sent.] It was an irreparable mistake. ¡°hmm. ¡°Have you chosen everything at this level?¡± After finishing organizing the warehouse, Junwoo jumped up from his seat. But the next moment. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°uh¡­?¡± Junwoo began to feel an unidentifiable sense of discomfort. ¡®Now that I think about it, why didn¡¯t it bounce?¡¯ Junwoo had clearly checked the message that there were 5 minutes left. And no matter how hard I concentrated on organizing the warehouse, I could clearly see that much more than 5 minutes had passed. ¡®Why has the inspection been postponed all of a sudden?¡¯ Junwoo, who had an ominous feeling about something ominous, decided to log out and access the public homepage. But the next moment. Junwoo could not help but widen his eyes. ¡°uh? uh¡­?¡± The logout button, which was always located at the top right of the system, had disappeared without anyone noticing. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 2 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 2Episode 2 From the moment he confirmed that he couldn¡¯t log out, Junwoo felt like he was out of breath for some reason. The weight of the air, which he couldn¡¯t feel, began to weigh down Junwoo¡¯s whole body. weird. Even though Oderpan¡¯s virtual reality technology is the world¡¯s best, I have never felt the sense of reality so clearly. This was due to issues related to user safety rather than a lack of technical skills. If the battle, with blood splattering and flesh being torn apart, felt the same as in reality¡­ it could no longer be called a game. ¡°Ugh- Ugh-!¡± Perhaps due to a momentary surge of anxiety, Junwoo started to feel nauseous without realizing it. But the system did not send any signal. ¡®What happened?¡¯ So Jun-woo¡¯s anxiety worsened. The system is designed to ensure user safety as the top priority. If it were like normal, you would have already been forced to log out. ¡®Something is very strange. First, let¡¯s go to the dimensional gap.¡¯ The moment Junwoo felt the need to ask for help from the outside, the place he headed was the ¡®Dimension Gap¡¯. The only space on the order board with a ¡®multi¡¯ function. If you go there, you might find a user experiencing the same phenomenon as you. Jun-woo thought so, but¡­ ¡°Heo-eok!¡± The entrance to the dimensional gap that existed to the north of all base villages had disappeared without a trace. This is the entrance that Junwoo used to enter Evra Village just a few hours ago. ¡°¡­!¡± This cannot happen. No, it shouldn¡¯t happen. ¡°Wow!¡± Violent contractions of the stomach occurred. Anyone can see that the player Junwoo¡¯s psychological state is unstable, but the logout system is still silent. Junwoo stumbled from unpleasant nausea and dizziness and was shocked when he saw the vomit he had spit out. Vomiting? In virtual reality? This discomfort that cannot be felt in virtual reality, the vivid pain that I felt when vomiting, these are all things that should not happen in virtual reality. No matter how much he denied it, the state that was happening in Jun-woo¡¯s body right now only amplified his anxiety. ¡°This¡­is reality? ¡°Don¡¯t be a damn thing, right¡­!¡± There must be a solution. No matter how much I liked the game¡­ if I leave here, I will sue the damn game company. Gritting his teeth, Junwoo once again began to think of a way to escape this damned virtual world. * * * One day¡­ two days¡­ three days¡­ three days have passed. And Jun-woo¡­ In the end, he had no choice but to accept it. ¡°Shit.¡± The five senses that can be 100% guaranteed to be the same as the reality of the ¡®dimensional gap¡¯ that disappeared just as you logged out . Numerous emotional expressions that an artificial intelligence NPC could never have. Except for logging out and the dimensional rift, all system functions worked normally. Too much time has passed and I have experienced too much to place my hopes on that. At least, I¡¯ve never even heard of a virtual reality game that allows physiological phenomena. Junwoo¡¯s favorite game order board¡­ has now become a reality and has been unfolding. ¡°Does this make sense?¡± After accepting everything, a feeling of despair and desolation came over me. You¡¯re in the game? What can I do here? As my thoughts continued to this point, I felt a sense of injustice. Of course, the character that Junwoo logged in today was¡­ the only one among the many characters that wasn¡¯t at max level, a ¡®warehouse character¡¯. ¡®It¡¯s not just that I¡¯m not at max level¡­ I¡¯m a level 10 miscellaneous who hasn¡¯t even been able to change jobs.¡¯ If I had possessed one of the max level characters, I might have been rationalizing it by now. If you are a max level character who is already absolute in the world of the order board, you will be able to live a quiet life unlike in reality. Can I reconnect with the next character right now? please. I won¡¯t tell you to take it out of the game. Please at least reconnect¡­ Junwoo, who was muttering this to himself, fell flat on the floor. Unlike Jun-woo¡¯s distraught mind, Ebra Village is lively. Innocent village children, cackling and playing, no different from reality. Still, the tears stopped flowing anymore. Because I¡¯ve already done such things like the protagonist of a new drama for the past three days. Growling ¨C Junwoo stood up again helplessly, listening to the sound of the ship¡¯s horn resonating in his stomach. The good thing in this worst situation is¡­ ¡®I¡¯m glad I have enough money.¡¯ The fact was that there was enough money in the warehouse that there was no need to worry about starving to death for a while. ¡®okay. You should eat at least three meals a day. ¡®I heard that ghosts that eat and rummage have good stains, right?¡¯ As Jun-woo began to walk again, this time the sound of a blade began to ring in his ears. Chang- Chang-! The very regular sound of metal hitting against each other. Junwoo¡¯s gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction from which the sound was heard. In fact, I could tell where the noise was coming from without even looking. ¡®Perhaps vigilante training has begun.¡¯ But the next moment. ¡®for a moment. ¡®A vigilante?¡¯ With a strong feeling, Junwoo remembers a fact that he had not thought about. His expression soon began to turn white. * * * There are various regular events in the base cities of the Order Board. And the most important regular event called ¡®Waves¡¯ in-game. Monster Wave naturally existed here in Evra Village. ¡°Dio-kun! ¡°What¡¯s going on at the parade ground?¡± ¡°¡­just like that. So why are we suddenly training in groups?¡± ¡°It¡¯s to prepare for subjugation. ¡°Are you here to train too?¡± ¡°Of course¡­ it must be because of the ¡®waves¡¯, right?¡± S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡°Why are you asking when you know so well?¡± Junwoo¡¯s head started pounding when his prediction came true. A monster wave that attacks Evra Village periodically once every two weeks. In fact, this monster wave is a trivial event under normal circumstances. Rather, consideration was given to ensure that users who had just moved to a higher level area could safely hunt monsters with help from base NPCs. It was an event that served as a kind of incubation system. Naturally, users who first came to Evra Village at levels below 100 had a hard time adjusting to the hunting grounds. This ¡®wave¡¯ was the system that LB created with consideration for such users. ¡®I¡¯m really going crazy.¡¯ But Junwoo. No, to the current ¡®D.O.¡¯, this consideration was practically a disaster. Of course, the monster wave was designed to match the level of the base village, but the current level of ¡®Dio¡¯ was like having just finished the tutorial. Once again, this is a base village with an average level of 100. Currently, Dio¡¯s level is only 10. If it were a game, logging out or evacuating to a dimensional gap would have been enough, but Junwoo was already aware that that was impossible. ¡®Dangerous.¡¯ Junwoo¡¯s head began to spin as he felt cold sweat running down his spine. Now that things have come to this, we can no longer just lament our situation. ¡®What happens if I die here? Will I be logged out? If not¡­¡¯ The vigilante leader asked, perhaps worried about Jun-woo¡¯s pale complexion¡­ ¡°Are you okay?¡± Junwoo quickly left the parade ground without even saying a proper hello. ¡°it¡¯s nothing. ¡°I¡¯m busy, so I¡¯ll stop¡­¡± In the world of the order board, the first task given was suddenly ¡®survival¡¯. ¡®If you die here, you really die.¡¯ The time left until the monster wave is¡­ about 10 days. ¡°Hoo-eup-¡± Junwoo washed his face dry and collected his thoughts. And the conclusion I came to at the end was¡­. I had to move first. ¡®It¡¯s 10 days. 10 days¡­ I¡¯ll have to find something I can do in that time.¡¯ Ironically, when it became a life-or-death situation, endorphins began to be secreted again in Jun-woo¡¯s body, which was lying limp as if he were dead. * * * Kim Jun-woo. Who is he? The user who has cleared the most episodes of Over the Fantasy and has the most max level characters confirmed by the official community. In a game where it is difficult to create even a single max level character, he had as many as seven max level characters¡­ He was the top ranker who went beyond rotten water and was called a fossil. He gets trapped in the world of the order board and dies? This cannot happen. Junwoo couldn¡¯t even remember the last time he experienced ¡®death¡¯ while playing the order board. But at this point, when your very life is at stake, are you just trembling at the ¡®waves¡¯? This is ridiculous. Thinking like that, Junwoo began to burn his fighting spirit. ¡®It¡¯s not a tiger¡¯s den¡­ Even if you¡¯re stuck on the order board, you can survive as long as you come to your senses.¡¯ In fact, it could have been a flow of thought trying to suppress anxiety. Aside from that, there is no doubt that Junwoo¡¯s body has begun to regain vitality. Okay, first thing is to check the status. For the first time in a long time, Junwoo opened the status window of the warehouse character ¡®D.O.¡¯ ¡°Status window.¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Status Window] : 10 : None Strength: 50 Dexterity: 5 Intelligence: 5 Stamina: 5 Mana: 5 : Inventory Expansion Lv MAX ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°Huh¡­.¡± As soon as I check the status window, my Mac suddenly relaxes. Level 10? No class? There are no problems up to this point. Because it was a fact I was already aware of. However, what made Junwoo sigh once again was¡­ ¡®Damn it. ¡®I didn¡¯t think of this.¡¯ It was Dio¡¯s stats that were abnormally distributed across ¡®strength¡¯. ¡®Why on earth was I an extremely efficient person in the past?¡­¡¯ The character characteristics of the order board are determined by the type of ¡®class¡¯ that one changes to at level 10. So, if there is a job change route you want, you must distribute the stats according to the minimum conditions required by the class. However, Warehouse Cat was not originally created to develop character. Therefore, class acquisition through job change was completely excluded. ¡°¡­.¡± Then why are ¡®D.O.¡¯s¡¯ stats so focused on strength? The reason was the passive skill called ¡®Inventory Expansion¡¯. The minimum condition for using the ¡®Inventory Expansion¡¯ passive on the order board was ¡®Strength stat 50¡¯. ¡®Among the basic classes, was there a class that only required strength stats? I think the warrior class also needs 10 agility¡­ I think the knight class also needed 15 stamina¡­.¡¯ Thanks to that, I was blocked from changing jobs. And the meaning of being blocked from changing jobs was very similar to saying that leveling up was also blocked. If you do not obtain a class on the order board, you cannot gain experience after level 10. ¡°Off¡­¡± Junwoo wanted to scream out of frustration. But it¡¯s better to think about it a little more during that time. Knowing that, I started to rack my brain even more. ¡®Think about it, Kim Jun-woo!¡¯ Kim Jun-woo, the epitome of rotten water, immediately began to connect all possibilities using the knowledge he had on the order board. There is no way to turn back the level that has already been raised to level 10. It¡¯s possible if you¡¯re a cashier, but all cache items can only be used in the ¡®Dimension Gap¡¯. So, in the end, you have to find a way to change jobs, but once you rule out job changes, the only remaining method is ¡®change jobs¡¯. Various classes that exist in Over the Fantasy. General users may not know this, but most of the hidden classes are classes that must be changed through a job change book. That¡¯s the only hope left for Junwoo. ¡®Yes. I think there were one or two job transfer letters in the warehouse.¡¯ Junwoo, whose thoughts had gone up to this point, moved back to the warehouse. I was hoping that at least one of the change books I had saved would meet the conditions for the Dio character. It doesn¡¯t even have to be a good class. Please, as long as the conditions are met. ¡°Young Master!¡± ¡°Oh my god Dio?¡± ¡°Subspace!¡± Dio took a deep breath and opened the warehouse inventory with trembling hands. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 3 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 3episode 3, there were a total of three job transfer letters that Jun-woo found in the warehouse. And among the three, two are glowing blue. If a change book glows blue, it means that it is a book that is generally used for the first change. So, I thought it would be a good thing to have just one copy, but there were two copies of the 1st class transfer book¡­ But even so, Junwoo was extremely depressed. ¡®I guess it¡¯s me¡­¡¯ Both of the two change books were classes that Junwoo couldn¡¯t change into with his current stats. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¨C Assassin Advancement Book ¨C Class: Assassin [1st] This is a class specialized in instantly assassinating enemies with sharp and fatal attacks. Assassins are good at hiding in the dark¡­. Minimum requirement for use: Strength 5, Dexterity 25 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¨C Martial Artist Advancement Book ¨C Class: Martial Artist [1st] All types This class is optimized for learning martial arts. Martial artist is superior to any class in one-on-one combat¡­. Minimum requirements for use: Strength 15, Dexterity 15, Stamina 15 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Even ¡®Martial Artist Advancement Book¡¯ requires 2 and 3rd job advancement. It was a rare item that could be transferred to a fraudulent class. A valuable job change book that could have received up to several million won in cash if sold to users in the dimensional gap. But to Dio now, it was just a piece of cake. Because it was a situation where I couldn¡¯t even meet the low specs of agility and stamina of 15. ¡°Whoa¡­¡± Dio became depressed because of this. In the world of order boards, Dio always had everything going well. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As of the day of the update, I couldn¡¯t understand why it was so frustrating. ¡®Maybe¡­ because it becomes reality?¡¯ Dio, who briefly thought of a nonsensical thought, shook his head and picked up the last remaining transfer book. The light wrapped around the last transfer book was purple. The purple glowing change book was usually a book that could only be used for the second change, but I felt like I was grasping at straws. Do you know anything? It¡¯s such a good class that it¡¯s probably purple even though it¡¯s the first transfer. ¡®But if it was such a good item¡­ there¡¯s no way I wouldn¡¯t remember it.¡¯ Dio opened the job change application without much expectations. And the job change report was just as expected¡­ ¡°Huh.¡± It was a job change book used for the second job change. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¨C Book of Change / Talent Breakthrough ¨C Class: ???[Secondary] Depending on the class you own and the character¡¯s training situation, you can change to the appropriate secondary class. This is a book from a previous job. Can be used at the altar of the Forgotten Temple. Minimum requirement for use: 1st class or lower user reputation: 500 or more ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In the end, even the last spark of hope was extinguished, and a swear word came out of Dio¡¯s mouth without his knowledge. ¡°Damn it!¡± Are you saying that shit trash classes are okay too? Please just give me a job change. Are you saying that once you get a job change, you¡¯ll try to cover everything else somehow? ¡°¡­.¡± The information window of the former ¡®talent breakthrough¡¯ student was still flickering in front of Dio¡¯s eyes, as he sat down with a blank expression. And Dio stares at Dio¡¯s system window with unfocused eyes. But the next moment. ¡°uh? for a moment¡­!¡± Dio¡¯s eyes turned slightly younger as he discovered something. ¡®Now that I think about it¡­ there¡¯s no minimum stat requirement for the 2nd transference scroll, right?¡¯ Dio¡¯s brain began to spin again. * * * Order Board was a game famous for being more realistic and flawless than any other virtual reality game. Order Board is a game in which not even a strangely small bug has been discovered even though the game has been in operation for several years. The development team of Order Board did not show a single loophole. So even those terrible(?) Korean users couldn¡¯t find the trick on the order board. Therefore, Dio saw possibilities in the system window that was now floating in front of him. To be exact, the ¡®minimum requirements for use¡¯ section specified in the information window of the second transfer form. These two requirements were things that the current ¡®D.O.¡¯ character could sufficiently satisfy. ¡®It feels a bit far-fetched, but¡­ unemployed is below the first level.¡¯ This is an order board that has not shown even a single loophole. Did the developers of the order board really put in such loose conditions? The moment his thoughts reached this point, one possibility came to Dio¡¯s mind. It was the existence of a ¡®hidden piece¡¯ that could not be found through normal play. Can you succeed in the second job change, which is only possible in a level 100 zone, without completing the first job change? Dio¡¯s intuition sharpened. ¡®There¡¯s a good chance.¡¯ The terms of use on the order board are absolute. Are loopholes found in those absolute terms of use? That¡¯s not a loophole, it¡¯s what the order board intended. Such thoughts dominated Dio¡¯s mind. ¡®Reputation is 500, so you can make enough by robbing a warehouse¡­¡¯ The remaining prestige condition can be made by donating miscellaneous items to the temple of the base village. If you were an ordinary level 10 character, it would be difficult to build up reputation to 10, but Dio was a warehouse character. ¡°good. ¡°This is really worth a try.¡± Now there is only one problem to solve. That¡¯s because the place of change is a forgotten temple. It was a place not too far from Evra Village, but it was also a place where level 100 monsters appeared. If we can get there safely¡­ we can definitely find a way out. ¡®Let¡¯s think about it a little more, Junwoo. There must be a way to sort this out.¡¯ Dio, who slowly calmed down his excitement, calmly began searching the warehouse again. And when about 30 minutes passed like this. ¡°okay. If this is¡­!¡± Junwoo was losing his vitality just a little while ago. no. Now, the eyes of ¡®D.O.¡¯, who must survive in the world of order, were burning brightly again. * * * A temple that worshiped old gods who are now forgotten. Since he was literally a forgotten god, there would be no believers visiting the temple. As a result, the forgotten temple was virtually untouched by human hands. Therefore, it was natural that it was designated as a very dangerous place. And Dio¡¯s thoughts, as there was no place he had not been to on the order board¡­ ¡®Generally speaking, going to a forgotten temple with a level 10 body would be suicidal.¡¯ But Dio eventually found a way. And the key was contained in a metal object the size of a palm, which was currently in Dio¡¯s hand. ¡®I never thought I¡¯d use a mercenary card like this.¡¯ The item in Dio¡¯s hand is a mercenary card. To be exact, it was an unidentified item named ¡®Someone¡¯s Mercenary Card¡¯. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª -Someone¡¯s mercenary badge (unidentified)- This is a keepsake of someone who failed a mission. The owner of this mercenary pack may have a loved one waiting for him for a long time. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª On the order board, there are items that commonly drop no matter what monster you kill. Among them, this ¡®someone¡¯s mercenary card¡¯ is a rare item that drops with a very slim probability. This item has the setting of being a keepsake of a mercenary who was attacked by a monster. There was even a setting that it would have a completely different value depending on the results of the appraisal. ¡®You can use the mercenary cards that come out after appraisal to return them to the mercenary guild.¡¯ It is natural that gold rewards vary greatly depending on the randomly identified grade. Is it compensation for the victim¡¯s belongings or something? In any case, it is easy to understand from the player¡¯s perspective if you think of it as a small lottery. The mercenary badge that Dio now possessed was obtained from a place related to the Holy Kingdom that disappeared in the distant past. ¡®Was it a tarot temple? It was dropped along with miscellaneous items from the boss in that area, right?¡¯ I kept carrying it around because it was literally a miscellaneous item, and when I happened to pass by Evra Village, I put it in the warehouse and never thought it would be so helpful. ¡®Was the probability of getting grade S 0.001%? Well, you won¡¯t be caught by such odds anyway.¡¯ However, what Dio is targeting now is not a high-level mercenary group. Dio didn¡¯t intend to use this as a lottery ticket. ¡®The probability of becoming a D or C grade would be the highest¡­¡¯ What Dio needs now is his status as a mercenary. More specifically, it was a situation that required a low-level, appropriate identity. ¡®D grade. okay. It would be appropriate if it came out just that much.¡¯ Dio planned to disguise his identity with this mercenary group and participate together in the quest to the forgotten temple. It didn¡¯t matter as long as it wasn¡¯t grade F, which was the lowest grade. Because the minimum grade to receive a request from the mercenary guild in Evra Village was grade E. ¡®Of course, you¡¯ll be treated like no one¡­¡¯ But that¡¯s the best. If you are an E-rank mercenary, you will not be treated as a combat force. Instead, you will have to show other capabilities. Who is Dio? No NPC in Evra Village will have more information than Dio. If you can just gently brush your lips in front of the person in charge of the request¡­ getting selected as a guide could be said to be a piece of cake. ¡°good. Perfect.¡± Dio, who had organized his thoughts up to this point, used the appraisal scroll he had brought from the warehouse in advance for the mercenary card. Paaa-! Dio thought to himself as the mercenary card that touched the appraisal began to emit bright light. ¡®Please, let¡¯s just avoid grade F¡­!¡¯ Hwaak-. But after a while. ¡°Uh¡­¡± A strange expression appeared on Dio¡¯s face as he checked the mercenary group that had appeared in front of him. * * * The mercenary guild in Evra Village was always crowded with many mercenaries. Since it was a base village surrounded on all sides by dungeons, there was always a constant stream of requests from the mercenary guild. ¡°What brought you here?¡± ¡°Kale Mountains search mission. ¡°You can still participate, right?¡± ¡°Of course, mercenary.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to put in the application form and go.¡± ¡°Can I just check the mercenary badge?¡± ¡°Of course. ¡°Here.¡± In the waiting room, mercenaries who had come to receive requests were sitting in a row. Squeak-. So even though someone new came into the guild, no one paid any attention to him. No matter how shabby he was, he was dressed in a strange white mask. But when he came in slowly, ignored the queue and walked forward. ¡°Hmm¡­?¡± The mercenaries¡¯ attention couldn¡¯t help but be focused on him. ¡°What is that guy doing?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you see everyone standing in line here?¡± The mercenaries¡¯ whispering voices echoed in the quiet waiting room. It was natural. The ability to ignore the queue and receive requests is a privilege given to mercenaries of at least B grade. However, in the eyes of the mercenaries, the man¡¯s equipment was such that it would be embarrassing to even regard him as a mercenary. ¡°He seems like he doesn¡¯t even know the basics of being a mercenary. Shouldn¡¯t we kick him out?¡± ¡°The Evra mercenary guild¡­ Was it such an easy place that you came here wearing cheap leather armor like that?¡± However, the man completely ignored the mercenaries¡¯ sarcasm and walked toward the receptionist. And the next moment. ¡°What brought you here?¡± As soon as the man¡¯s mouth dropped, the atmosphere in the room became cold. ¡°I want to meet the Master.¡± The guild master of the base village is someone that no one can ever meet. ¡°What did that guy just say?¡± ¡°Did I¡­hear wrong?¡± The appearance of a man who did not hesitate to ask for a private meeting with the guild master was not enough. From the mercenaries¡¯ point of view, it was bound to be shocking. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 4 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 4Episode 4, Dio was unnecessarily lucky. ¡®A grade¡­? Is this real money?¡¯ The grade of the mercenary card that was appraised was neither grade C nor grade B, but grade A. ¡®I really¡­¡¯ Of course, it wasn¡¯t as good as the S grade, which boasted a probability of 0.001%, but the A grade mercenary badge was also a very valuable item. As far as Dio knew, the probability of an A-grade mercenary appearing was about 0.1%. ¡®shit. There won¡¯t be any unidentified mercenary cards left¡­¡¯ Thanks to this, Dio had to completely revise his plan. If you were to pretend to be a grade A mercenary, it would be nearly impossible to just act as a guide. However, this did not change the overall plan of joining the mercenary army and going to the temple¡­ ¡°I want to meet the Master.¡± ¡°The Master is not so leisurely that anyone can meet him.¡± ¡°okay?¡± First of all, D.O. had a completely different stance. ¡°How about this?¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°At this level, I feel like I¡¯m not ¡®just anyone¡¯.¡± When Dio threw the mercenary badge in front of the receptionist, the noisy mercenaries instantly became quiet again. And a moment later, the receptionist accepted the card. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Old Class A Mercenary Card] Contents: A card that proves that you are a mercenary who has gone beyond being a veteran and has risen to the rank of expert. The owner of the old and damaged mercenary badge may have a story about a loved one waiting for him for a long time. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The atmosphere in the hall had no choice but to change completely. ¡°No matter how much he is a grade A mercenary¡­?¡± If you decide to use your false identity as a weapon, you must be thorough in your acting. So Dio decided to act like a Class A mercenary from now on. Even though the level is only level 10. ¡°sorry. ¡°It¡¯s not because I¡¯m tired from working overtime¡­ It¡¯s really A grade!?¡± The receptionist was speechless for a moment when she saw the mercenary badge that Dio handed her, and started massaging the area around her eyes with her thumb and index finger. The receptionist was so surprised that she even stood up and shouted. The reaction was such that not only the mercenaries in the waiting room but also people outside opened the door and came in. The only calm person here is Dio. It was natural that Dio was calm. He had already expected this level of reaction. ¡®The minimum level of a class A mercenary is 300. It would be difficult to find a level 100 mercenary here in this village.¡¯ Dio, seeing the receptionist¡¯s helpless reaction, slightly frowned and expressed his displeasure. Dealing with such ordinary NPCs is a very easy task for Dio, who can confidently say that he has reached the top of the order board. As if it had worked, the receptionist hurriedly placed the mercenary card Dio handed over to the crystal ball in front of her. The crystal ball, which has an emotional function, radiated golden light as if to indicate that the A-class mercenary pack was genuine. That wasn¡¯t the only thing Dio prepared. He showed me a glimpse of the ¡®Imperial Medal¡¯ that was inside the leather armor. ¡°What about that?¡± It is none other than an item that can be obtained after completing the subjugation quest given by the empire after the 3rd job change. Imperial medals are often used as exchange currency. However, in situations where identity is unclear, it can also be used as an item to prove belonging to the empire. The status of the empire on the continent cannot be ignored. Since you can get a free pass to most places with the Imperial Medal, Dio kept a few of them in the warehouse. From the A-class mercenary badge to the imperial medal. This was enough for anyone to think that Dio was a mercenary with experience completing missions for the Empire. ¡°Are we done now?¡± Class A mercenaries are usually arrogant. This is even more inevitable in Evra Village, which is just a small base on the outskirts. So Dio faithfully embodied that image, which made the receptionist even more desperate. ¡°Now¡­ just a moment!¡± Then, when Dio looked around, the mercenaries were busy avoiding his gaze. -Are you really grade A? -Wow¡­ no joke. If you go there, look at the force. -But the equipment is a bit lame? -Hey, if you¡¯re A-level, your body itself is a weapon, so would you care about equipment? If we want to save our lives, we don¡¯t have to worry about equipment. -There are about a thousand A-class mercenaries on the continent, right? -And the Imperial Medal? Isn¡¯t it the highest rank among A-class? Dio, who was listening to the whispering words of the mercenaries, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat as he seemed to be bloated more than the typical A-class mercenary. In particular, the leather armor for beginners that is worn only in the tutorial zone has become the ¡®grounded confidence of the strong¡¯ through word of mouth. But of course I didn¡¯t show it. Since we have already come this far, the situation is now no different from preference. ¡®As long as I don¡¯t get caught, it¡¯s okay.¡¯ While Dio was thinking about that, the receptionist who ran up the stairs came back with someone. ¡°hello. ¡°This is Cotton, the branch manager of the Evra Mercenary Guild.¡± Dio asked him a simple question. ¡°I guess you said you wanted to meet the Master?¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio still maintained an arrogant attitude towards Cotton, a huge man who seemed to have used quite a bit of strength in his past. However, Cotton bowed his head towards Dio in a very polite manner that was befitting his size. ¡°Unfortunately, the Master is not at the guild right now. ¡°Can I come up and tell you more details?¡± And there was no need to maintain a high-handed attitude any longer. In the first place, Dio¡¯s purpose was not to meet the Master, but to receive requests with desired conditions. ¡°good. ¡°Then let¡¯s do it.¡± So Dio obediently followed Cotton towards the stairs. The mercenaries looked curiously at Dio heading upstairs. Only after he completely disappeared did they start to worry again about the A-class mercenary who appeared like a comet. * * * A guild is a group created for commerce and industry. How many missions did mercenaries perform through the guild? How high is the satisfaction level of clients? Based on this evaluation, the country and territory calculate support funds for the guild in question. Therefore, mercenary guilds want skilled and prestigious mercenaries to work through their guild. There was a reason why they were scouted separately with compensation money. Although the achievements of the A-class mercenary named Dio cannot be immediately confirmed. Even so, Cotton considered it a great benefit just because an A-class mercenary came to the guild he ran. Securing the title of A-class mercenary is valuable enough that it is not worth the regret. I¡¯m not sure why he¡¯s looking for the Master. but. ¡®Class A mercenaries are just mercenaries. He must have come here to find the request he needed.¡¯ Cotton thought so and made a promise to himself. If there is no mission you want, you should create it and give it to them. Rumble ¨C Cotton led Dio to the VIP room and personally served him tea. However, as Dio¡¯s story began to continue, Cotton couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit puzzled. As Cotton expected, Dio¡¯s purpose was a ¡®request¡¯, but¡­ ¡°So¡­ you are looking for a request to a forgotten temple?¡± The level of the request was so different from what I expected. ¡°that¡¯s right. ¡°There are no other conditions.¡± It was natural for Cotton to be puzzled. I couldn¡¯t figure out why an A-class mercenary would want something that was simply a request to a forgotten temple. There was one suitable quest, but it was one of the easiest quests that even C-rank mercenaries could solve. ¡®I don¡¯t know for what reason¡­¡¯ Of course, I had no intention of offending Dio. ¡°I have a request to escort a priest heading to the temple¡­¡± Cotton added, trailing off as if something was wrong. ¡°Mercenaries have already been assigned.¡± ¡°okay?¡± ¡°Even if we exclude these people, I wonder if we will be able to pay Dio proper compensation¡­¡± But Dio, who had been listening until this point, suddenly cut him off. ¡°There is no need for repairs.¡± * * * ¡°yes?¡± Cotton blinked at Dio¡¯s completely unexpected words and asked with an expression as if he was wondering what he meant. ¡°I just finished a request¡­ I just wanted to take it easy.¡± ¡°yes? ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± The problem with his status as an A-class mercenary is revealed here. The hurdles for the Forgotten Temple were so low that it was natural to think that being an A-level player would be enough on your own. However, Dio had to go under the protection of mercenaries, so he needed a good reason to persuade branch manager Cotton. ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? ¡°You just want to take it easy?¡± Cotton broke into a cold sweat as he instinctively sensed danger from Dio, who was repeating the story in an extremely irritated voice. Dio¡¯s acting was that perfect. Because Dio didn¡¯t force his temper. ¡®I really don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying.¡¯ Dio was truly tired from thinking about his plan, and he just didn¡¯t hide it. ¡°You seem quite¡­ quite tired. ¡°I see you have business at the temple.¡± The branch manager, who had dealt with numerous mercenaries, quickly realized the intention behind Dio¡¯s words. ¡°Are you saying you want to participate in the same position as the escort?¡± And Dio answered that question very carefully. ¡°Well, not to that extent. ¡°If something dangerous happens¡­ I won¡¯t just sit there and watch.¡± If Dio had said that he wanted to be an escort, this might have aroused Cotton¡¯s suspicion. There is nothing more ridiculous than a class A mercenary moving around while being escorted by a bunch of small guys. It could be said that that was not the answer that a self-respecting Class A mercenary would give. ¡°Aha, I see!¡± And Cotton seemed to be very pleased with Dio¡¯s answer, as if it was the perfect answer. In the end, Dio¡¯s intention was to participate in the request without compensation and instead tell him not to bother. ¡°That much is possible.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°Now we¡¯re finally making sense.¡± Cotton had no reason to refuse since he could use A-class mercenaries as insurance without incurring any special costs. ¡°The contract is for a round trip from the temple to Evra village. Are you okay with that?¡± ¡°of course.¡± After making a quick decision, Cotton took out the documents and proceeded with the contract smoothly. After receiving the contract, Dio smiled and signed the document. Then the next moment. Tiring-! Along with the familiar notification sound, two lines of system messages appeared before Dio¡¯s eyes. [You have signed the ¡®Mercenary Request Contract¡¯.] [Quest will occur shortly.] ¡°It is an honor to work with you. Dear Dio. I¡¯m sure the client will like it too.¡± ¡°Please take care of me.¡± Because things worked out faster than expected, Dio felt better and got up straight away. ¡°Once the changes have been communicated to the client, a departure schedule will be set. ¡°Where are you staying?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s stay at the inn in front of here.¡± ¡°Then I will send someone as soon as the decision is made.¡± After finishing his conversation with Cotton, Dio came down to the waiting room and felt the attention of the mercenaries again. ¡®shit. ¡®This is difficult.¡¯ The situation is quite troubling as rumors have already spread about A-class mercenaries. I could say that I was very fortunate that I had prepared a mask in advance. ¡®I need to prepare for departure more thoroughly. If you make a mistake and your identity is discovered¡­it will be the worst situation.¡¯ Dio gained unwanted fame after just one visit. As Dio¡¯s mind became more complicated, his steps began to get faster and faster. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 5 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 5Episode 5 A new morning dawned and Dio, who received a call from the mercenary guild, checked his equipment one last time and headed to the meeting place. Dio, who arrived in front of the north exit just in time, found a group making noise and slowly approached them. -Did you hear? They say it¡¯s grade A! -Don¡¯t act rashly. -What is happening to Class A in such a remote area? However, Dio¡¯s eyebrows furrowed momentarily as he checked their faces. ¡®The branch manager¡­ he was being rude, huh?¡¯ This was because most of the members of the mercenary corps, which was thought to be composed of only C-ranks, were D-ranks. ¡®I didn¡¯t think of this variable¡­¡¯ He probably formed a party with D-class mercenaries to save on the commission fee, relying on the sure insurance of being A-class mercenaries. But the situation was too ambiguous to risk that. Although the members were D grade, the number was increasing. This was not a level of power that could be considered insufficient to complete the mission. However, the road to the temple has become a little dangerous. ¡®shit. ¡®I need to come to my senses.¡¯ Deciding so, Dio approached the mercenaries who were talking about him and cleared his throat slightly. ¡°Is this the escort team heading to the Forgotten Temple?¡± One positive thing was that the leader of this mercenary group was someone Dio knew. ¡®What was that guy¡¯s name? Was it Raymond?¡¯ In fact, it was thanks to him that Dio knew their grades at a glance. ¡°Is that so?¡± I remembered seeing him respond to an A-class mercenary like that. Raymond, a C-rank mercenary residing in Evra Village. A senseless NPC whose personality cannot be corrected. ¡®If you tried to carelessly correct your personality, you would become a ¡®troll¡¯ who would leave during the quest.¡¯ Did you say that being ignorant is brave? Raymond simply considers A-rank mercenaries to be ¡®only¡¯ two levels higher than him. It was understandable that he was taken aback by his reaction, which was quite different from that of ordinary mercenaries, but it was not that strange to Dio, who knew him. ¡®I¡¯ll just have to keep quiet and watch first.¡¯ Raymond is a mercenary leader who leads mercenaries who constantly give off the air of a construction veteran. Except for him, this mercenary unit was entirely made up of D-ranks. That means there is nothing special. ¡°Montada.¡± Dio, who had made up a pseudonym, opened his mouth stiffly. If you want to pretend to be an A-class mercenary, you have to clearly hide your identity from NPCs who know the warehouse character ¡®D.O.¡¯ Those mercenaries are like the average D-class mercenary gang. ¡®That doesn¡¯t mean they¡¯re bad guys, but¡­¡¯ They were mercenaries who I felt were lacking in professionalism or skills. Perhaps trying to gain momentum, Raymond offers to shake hands first. A bald guy with a long scar on his left cheek. I couldn¡¯t help but remember this guy, even if it was because of his unusual appearance. ¡°I¡¯m Raymond. ¡°He¡¯s an A-level mercenary¡­ so what can I just trust?¡± Even though he knew that Dio was a Class A mercenary, Raymond did not hesitate to greet him in the harsh tone typical of a mercenary. [Raymond participated in the quest ¡®Exploration of the Forgotten Temple¡¯.] [Laika participated in the quest ¡®Exploration of the Forgotten Temple¡¯.] [Question members in progress] [Dio / No class / Lv10] [Raymond / Warrior / Lv121 ] [Lika / Guard / Lv115] [¡­] Mercenaries are usually lenient in this regard, perhaps because they are just guys who are just starting out. So Dio didn¡¯t show any signs of being particularly unpleasant. Of course, it wasn¡¯t a warm treatment. Dio checked the system window and found that there was no difference from the expected configuration, so he nodded and opened his mouth. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t bother me, I¡¯ll make sure no one gets killed.¡± Raymond slightly flinched at Dio¡¯s somewhat extreme expression. And the mercenaries who stand one step behind Raymond and watch the situation. They were a mercenary group commonly referred to as the ¡®Gangnodap Gang¡¯ among Order Board players. Since they were mercenaries based in Evra Village, Dio also had experience participating in their misdeeds. Of course, this happened when I was a newbie. ¡®Newbies went through a lot of trouble because of these terrible guileless guys.¡¯ As the memories of that time came to mind, I became a little more worried about today¡¯s mission. But at least there didn¡¯t seem to be anyone who seemed to doubt Dio¡¯s identity. Dio thought that was enough. ¡°Is there a client yet?¡± Raymond, who was intimidated by Dio¡¯s question, tried to answer something. But at that very moment. ¡°wait a minute-!¡± A silhouette that appeared to be a woman appeared from afar with perfect timing and was running towards me. ¡°Phew, it arrived just in time. ¡°You are the mercenaries who guide us to the temple, right?¡± client. Luna¡¯s priest Clara took a deep breath and introduced herself. ¡°This is Clara, who has been sent on a mission to this forgotten temple. Please take care of me.¡± Dio stared at her for a moment and briefly recalled information about a priest of the Luna Church. ¡®The Luna Church often dispatched priests to forgotten temples.¡¯ The priest¡¯s clothes, which were originally pure white and clean, seemed to have become quite dirty, probably due to the hardships it took to get to Evra village. If it weren¡¯t for the jeweled staff symbolizing a priest, it would have been difficult to recognize that she was a priest of the Luna Church. Clara repeatedly apologizes for being late, and the mercenaries briefly introduce themselves. [Clara participated in the quest ¡®Exploring the Forgotten Temple¡¯.] [Quest members in progress] [NEW!] [Clara / Priest / Lv 105] Dio, who was looking at the message window where the information was immediately updated, glanced at himself. I made eye contact with Clara. ¡®What makes you think it¡¯s suspicious?¡¯ Clara smiles awkwardly at Dio¡¯s gaze and avoids his gaze. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± But it was a completely understandable reaction. From her perspective as a client, it was natural to feel reassured and suspicious at the same time by the joining of an A-class mercenary. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s stop talking and let¡¯s get going!¡± And even if Clara is reluctant, there will be no major variables since the request has already been confirmed. She also had to get to the temple as quickly as possible, so when she heard Raymond¡¯s departure signal, she lost interest in Dio. ¡®Okay, shall we go?¡¯ Dio meticulously checks the composition of the mercenary group until the very end. After revealing their identities to the guard, Dio and his companions went out of the village through the northern exit. Tiring-! Then, when a system message appeared¡­. [You have left the safe zone.] [Warning.] [You have entered a field that is much higher than the user¡¯s level.] Dio began to become more and more nervous. * * * The group arrived safely at Camp 1 around sunset and began preparing for camping. ¡°When the sun rises tomorrow, we¡¯ll head to camp 2.¡± Raymond¡¯s right-hand man, the pig mercenary Laika, pointed to a destination located far northwest of the current location on the map. The mercenaries nodded to each other at his words, and Raymond also agreed with Laika¡¯s opinion. However, only one person shook his head as if there was a difference of opinion with Laika. ¡°no.¡± Dio¡¯s words drew everyone¡¯s attention to him. The path suggested by Laika was a path that guaranteed safety to adventurers. Even though it was a route that had to be taken back, if you did not follow it, you would have to cross a dangerous area. No matter how much money the mercenaries make, nothing is more precious than life. That¡¯s why they immediately opposed Dio¡¯s opinion. ¡°Hey, bro, I know you¡¯re in class A, but¡­ do you know the geography of this place better than us?¡± ¡°Even if I move with my eyes closed, I know better than you all.¡± When Dio spoke with sincerity, the mercenaries frowned. ¡°What¡­ what?¡± Some mercenaries blushed at Dio¡¯s blatantly dismissive tone of voice. Dio lightly ignored them and opened his mouth, pulling the map towards him. ¡°Do you think this is my first time here? If you head to camp 3 instead of camp 2, there is a hidden cave. ¡°It¡¯s much faster if you cross Dunville Forest from there and get to the temple.¡± ¡°Ha, don¡¯t be ridiculous! Are you telling us to go to Camp 3 knowing what the road is like!?¡± ¡°Are you crazy? Then die!¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Laika tried to stop Dio, but due to Raymond¡¯s personality, he did not stop there and continued to speak passionately. ¡°If you cross Dunville Forest, you will die! Do you know what monsters are there?¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s confident answer, Raymond was unable to respond like a dumb person. But even for a moment. ¡°¡­Isn¡¯t what Raymond said right?¡± ¡°I guess it¡¯s better to take the path I know well¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯re not Class A¡­¡± Those were the words of a Class A mercenary, but was it because he had followed Raymond for a long time? The mercenaries murmured in support of Raymond¡¯s opinion rather than Dio¡¯s. ¡°hmm.¡± What would a ¡®real¡¯ Class A mercenary do? I guess he soon couldn¡¯t stand Raymond¡¯s rude way of speaking and gave him a true education. Dio, who had anticipated the mercenaries¡¯ reactions, began to look at them one by one. flinch ¨C At the sight of the A-class mercenary staring at them in silence, the D-class mercenaries instinctively shrank closer and avoided Dio¡¯s gaze. ¡°Do you really think Raymond is right?¡± If Dio had had more time, he would have followed suit without much disagreement. However, there was not much time given to him. Dio¡¯s goal is to acquire the minimum amount of power by changing jobs before the wave begins. One of the reasons escort missions are difficult is that the movement speed must match the escort target. Clara¡¯s class is Priest. It is natural that their physical strength is lower than that of mercenaries who specialize in combat-related stats. It was obvious that if I moved at her speed, it would be difficult to arrive on time. Anyway, from Dio¡¯s perspective, it is equally dangerous whether he goes to camp 2 or directly to camp 3. However, although the monsters that appear in the cave route are more powerful than those in the standard route, their patterns are much simpler. Therefore, from the perspective of not only Dio but also the mercenaries, the shortcut route is safer and saves time. ¡°I don¡¯t understand. ¡°It¡¯s the same safe route, but why take a long way back?¡± It is undoubtedly true that if Dio did not know the correct path, the shortcut would be a more dangerous path than the previous indicator. However, if you are accompanied by mercenaries, what Dio said is not wrong. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you clearly.¡± Dio continued speaking and slowly approached Raymond. The mercenaries were frightened by Dio¡¯s momentum and retreated, and Raymond also swallowed his saliva as if he was nervous. ¡°I¡¯m going to camp 3.¡± Dio, who had come right in front of Raymond, spoke as if giving notice. Intentionally making threats by lying about one¡¯s identity can easily turn into gambling. However, Dio knew that this kind of gutsy play was more effective because they were ¡®mercenaries¡¯. We need to push harder here. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear why I¡¯m with you? ¡°I want to get this over with as quickly as possible.¡± Dio took his hand off his mace and scratched his head in annoyance for the mercenaries who were in a state of extreme tension. ¡°I¡¯m only joining you because it¡¯s annoying, but what if you¡¯re wasting my time like this?¡± Dio shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the fidgeting Clara. ¡°What would you like to do?¡± ¡°yes? Yeah? ¡°Me¡­ me?¡± Clara was startled and answered Dio¡¯s sudden question. ¡°I¡¯m not forcing you to do it, but you can¡¯t ignore your duties, right?¡± ¡°Eh¡­¡± ¡°I assure you, it will be safer for me to escort you alone than for those idiots.¡± Contrary to his motivation for participating in the request, the reason why he wants to be with Clara by pretending to accept the inconvenience. If she follows along, other mercenaries will have no choice but to follow. Dio, who had the status of a mercenary, pretended not to forget his duty and attracted clients. ¡°I¡­ I want to go quickly, so how about listening to Mr. Monte¡­?¡± Clara cautiously presents her opinion in an awkward situation. In fact, not only Clara but everyone knows it. One A-level mercenary is better than all the mercenaries here. ¡°When you come back, you just have to take the path that Mr. Raymond and Mr. Laika mentioned¡­¡± Clara, who was observing Raymond¡¯s dark complexion, hurriedly persuaded the other mercenaries. Raymond, who looked at the atmosphere, clicked his tongue and answered. ¡°Tsk, if that¡¯s the case with the employer. As for hazard pay¡­ huh, no. I believe that the great A-level mercenary Nauri will handle dangerous matters!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­.¡± Clara breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Raymond grunting and taking a step back. There was a commotion, but Clara¡¯s decision put it to rest and the group spent the night preparing their own camps. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 6 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 6Episode 6 As dawn broke, Dio opened his eyes with difficulty. ¡®I thought my jaw was spinning.¡¯ Unlike the game, Dio, who fully felt the fatigue of being homeless, massaged his shoulders. However, Dio could not show his tired appearance, so he tried to pretend to be calm and stretched out. After completing all preparations, the mercenaries and Clara silently came to Dio¡¯s side. Raymond still doesn¡¯t like what happened yesterday and doesn¡¯t let go of his grumpy expression. However, the group, including him, agreed that Dio would act as a guide, so they were waiting for instructions. Dio, who saw them, opened his mouth. ¡°We are going to the cave we talked about yesterday.¡± At those words, the mercenaries began to whisper. ¡°Are you sure there really is a cave?¡± ¡°I¡¯m proud to say that I¡¯ve been around this area quite a bit, but I¡¯ve never seen anything¡­¡± Even though they said they were following Dio¡¯s opinion, the mercenaries were still unclear. Clara suddenly opened her mouth on their behalf. ¡°How can I get there?¡± It¡¯s pathetic to see Clara trying to prevent friction like yesterday. The mercenaries who noticed this said nothing more and waited for Dio to open his mouth. ¡°this way.¡± Dio spread the map on the floor and pointed the way forward with a tree branch. ¡°If you go northwest, you will find a stream. If you go towards the stream, you will be in the territory of a pack of werewolves. ¡°There is a way to avoid that boundary.¡± The mercenaries flinched at the mention of werewolves, but could not object even though they distrusted Dio¡¯s words about avoiding them. The die was cast the moment it was already decided to pass through Dunville Forest. The D-class mercenaries had no choice but to completely trust and follow Dio in order to survive. Gurgling ¨C I can hear the sound of water flowing in the stream. When Dio arrived at the place he thought of, he glanced at Clara and raised his fist to signal everyone. ¡°for a moment. ¡°I rest here.¡± Clara was exhausted, so she stopped everyone and asked for a break. ¡°If you leave the stream, it is the werewolf¡¯s territory, so acting alone is prohibited.¡± Dio was just as exhausted as Clara, but he gave everyone a simple warning without showing it as much as possible. It was really a good choice to accompany Clara on this mission. Although it was different in reality, the mercenaries each took a break without any objection when Dio said that he would prioritize the protection of the client. While Clara and an exhausted Clara were resting for a while, Raymond quietly got up from his seat. Dio, who couldn¡¯t miss that sight, looked at him and opened his mouth. ¡°Where should I go?¡± ¡°Should I even be allowed to do my business? Tsk.¡± ¡°Do not leave the place I have designated.¡± ¡°joy!¡± Raymond snorted and walked away despite Dio¡¯s warning. Dio, who was watching his back, had a hunch. Due to Raymond¡¯s strong rebellious nature, he would not take his warning seriously. But it¡¯s okay. Although others said it was a pack of werewolves, they would only encounter small patrols of werewolves around the stream. ¡®Rather, it is an opportunity.¡¯ Dio envisioned a situation where he could flatten the nose of Raymond, the leader of the mercenaries, and immediately began to prepare the mace. -Ugh! ¡°what! what?¡± ¡°what¡¯s the matter? Raymond!?¡± All the mercenaries who were resting at Raymond¡¯s screams were startled and jumped up. [Party member Raymond is suffering from a bleeding condition.] Dio said calmly after confirming that Raymond was suffering from a status abnormality. ¡°I told you to be careful like that.¡± Dio, who was still working on his mace, showed no sign of getting up and opened his mouth to the mercenaries who were looking at him. ¡°What you looking at? I clearly warned you. Save it or not. ¡°Just figure it out.¡± As the strongest member of the group seemed to have no intention of moving, the mercenaries gritted their teeth and began to gather their own weapons. ¡°Um¡­what should I do?¡± In response to Clara¡¯s very frightened question, Dio nodded to his side. ¡°It¡¯s stuck with me. ¡°Because it will be the safest.¡± ¡°Yes¡­yes!¡± The saying that it was the safest was something that was said not only to Clara but also to Dio himself, but there was no way the companions knew that. The mercenaries, including Laika, also decided that it would be best for him to stick to the guard, so they hurriedly ran to Raymond. ¡®But does that mean it¡¯s over level 100?¡¯ Dio muttered as he watched the mercenaries moving quickly. He told him to mind his own words, but he thought it was an opportunity to show the mercenaries his status as an A-class mercenary, so he turned his head and looked at Clara. ¡°Let¡¯s go too.¡± ¡°yes? Ah yes!¡± Clara, who was full of worry at Dio¡¯s words, quickly nodded and they slowly headed towards the path the mercenaries had taken. Dio didn¡¯t have the ability to chase after them. With a gait that feigned leisure, he slowly moved towards the place where the situation occurred, with Clara clinging to him in fear. ¡®The composition of the search party is at least one. ¡®At most three.¡¯ Dio comes up with a simulation according to the situation. Considering the skills of Raymond and the mercenaries, I judged that they would not be easily defeated by two or three werewolves. ¡°Is it okay if I don¡¯t go fast?¡± ¡°it¡¯s okay. ¡°They are also D-class mercenaries.¡± After reassuring Clara, Dio was soon able to spot the mercenaries wreaking havoc. [A party member is confronting a werewolf.] [Werewolf/Normal monster/Lv. 124] ¡®There are two werewolves. Everyone is at full health and Raymond¡¯s stamina has decreased a bit.¡¯ Raymond grabs his left arm and screams at the werewolf. ¡°What a bastard!¡± Mercenaries and two werewolves were fighting to protect him. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Ha!¡± The mercenaries were divided appropriately and were counterattacking brilliantly, blocking the werewolves¡¯ sharp claws and teeth. There is no business in Dagul. Although the werewolf¡¯s level was higher than that of the mercenaries, the difference was not that much, so it seemed to be resolved without difficulty. But that¡¯s not all the true value of werewolves is. They are doing well now, but if the Werewolf¡¯s unique ¡®skill¡¯ is activated, it will be difficult for even the mercenaries to deal with them without serious injury. In order to aim for that timing, Dio watched the mercenaries¡¯ battle calmly, but did not let go of his nerves. ¡°omg! omg!¡± ¡°good! Cheer up a little more!¡± ¡°Push it in!¡± The mercenaries are getting increasingly tired. The werewolf that was fighting them suddenly lowered its posture and its eyes began to glow red. Now! ¡°Everyone step back.¡± Dio left Clara to look after Raymond¡¯s injuries and joined the mercenaries confronting the werewolf. ¡°What are you talking about? ¡°We are winning!¡± The mercenaries expressed their anger at Dio, who suddenly intervened in a situation where victory was secured. -Krrrrr¡­. However, their anger was petty compared to the werewolf¡¯s anger, which had become even fiercer. ¡°What are you doing all of a sudden?¡± ¡°This is dangerous!¡± ¡°Hi!¡± The momentum of the mercenaries was immediately broken by the Werewolf¡¯s momentum, which was completely different from before. Faced with the true power of the predator, the mercenaries instinctively felt danger and retreated. ¡°Huh¡­?¡± ¡°be careful!¡± Kagagagak-! The werewolf¡¯s sharp claws, whose eyes turned red, struck the mercenary¡¯s shield. Not only was it enough to break the solid shield in two, but the huge jaw, drooling like a mad dog, headed towards the mercenary¡¯s head. ¡°Hi-!¡± bang! A mercenary who tightly shuts his eyes as a werewolf demonstrates incredible strength. But it¡¯s strange. Why haven¡¯t his teeth¡­ reached them yet? ¡°her¡­ ¡°Huh?¡± When the mercenary opened his eyes, to his surprise, he looked over his shoulder and saw a mace stuck in the mouth of the werewolf. ¡°Move.¡± Dio, the owner of the mace, pushed away the mercenary who was trembling in fear, grabbed the werewolf, and slammed him to the ground. Kwaang-! [The werewolf was defeated.] ¡®It¡¯s fortunate that I recorded the strength stat.¡¯ Dio pretends to be calm and pushes away the body of a werewolf that died instantly. The mercenaries don¡¯t know. The werewolf is now making its last struggle before dying. The demonic beast¡¯s unique skill ¡®Berserk¡¯. When they reach a near-death state, they receive the berserk buff used by Berserker players. The physical abilities of monsters that have been berserk increased dramatically, making them difficult to deal with. But the solution was surprisingly simple. Run away until the berserk buff disappears. Or, use ¡®Purification Herb¡¯, which can dispel the beast¡¯s exclusive berserk, to dispel the buff. That¡¯s it. This principle was the reason why the werewolf that had just touched the mace seemed to have died instantly. This is because the berserk skill, which allows you to maintain action in a near-death state, has been dispelled. ¡®When I was a newbie who didn¡¯t know about these characteristics, it was difficult to deal with monsters with berserk skills.¡¯ However, this is not a problem for Dio, who now knows the exact strategy for berserk. No, it was actually easy to deal with. A ¡®established pattern¡¯ caused by photobombing. In the case just now, Dio didn¡¯t catch up with the werewolf¡¯s speed. Because it is a pattern that D.O clearly remembers, he was able to cope well even at a slower pace. ¡°Everyone get out of the way.¡± Dio said, turning his mace as if he was annoyed. The mercenaries, who had experienced the power of the Werewolf, which was emitting ferocious force before their eyes, retreated hastily, as if they had been waiting for those words. When only Dio was left in front of the werewolf, another guy in berserk mode rushed towards Dio. A movement that cannot be compared to when fighting mercenaries! As a level 10 Dio, he didn¡¯t dare to follow, but he wasn¡¯t worried. It¡¯s not necessarily a gamble that risks one¡¯s life. Werewolf¡¯s movements. Since I have experienced it countless times, I just need to move ahead. Anticipating inevitable actions and moving locations in advance more than made up for the 100-level difference in speed. bang! Dio avoided the werewolf¡¯s charge with just one gesture. Afterwards, Dio raised his mace, which was heavily coated with purifying herbs, towards the werewolf heading to the empty ground. In exchange for gaining strength, Berserker also takes away the caster¡¯s consciousness. Even if the stupid monsters go berserk, they are just monsters that are easier for Dio to deal with. puck-! Dio¡¯s mace hit the spine of the werewolf that looked backwards, and immediately the efficacy of the purifying plant began to dominate the werewolf¡¯s body. A werewolf comes back to its senses. At that point, the werewolf was as good as dead. However, Dio did not miss that moment and swung the mace in a show-like manner. puck-! once. puck-! twice. Wow! sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Mace didn¡¯t stop even after the werewolf collapsed. The werewolf that had gone berserk was as good as dead even if left alone, but Dio lightly swung his mace to the side and cracked its head. thud! Without a moment to scream, the werewolf¡¯s head was crushed and the werewolf¡¯s movements completely stopped. Huh-! Patter. Dio brushed the blood off his mace with one motion, and the companions just watched him with a dumbfounded expression. In reality, the werewolf attacked Dio while he was holding a mace and committed suicide. However, in the eyes of others, Dio¡¯s skills seemed genuine. [The werewolf was defeated.] [3620 experience points were obtained.] [3620 experience points were obtained.] [Experience points do not apply because I did not change jobs.] ¡®Tsk.¡¯ If I had just changed jobs, it would have been an opportunity to gain a lot of experience. Dio felt sick when he missed the chance to make a big hit. However, Dio returned to the group pretending to be calm. He raised his eyebrows as he looked at Clara, who was using her holy powers to heal the injured Raymond. ¡°It seems like the roles have been reversed as I am receiving help from the client. thank you Priest. ¡°I will pay the treatment fee separately later.¡± ¡°yes? Ah¡­ no! ¡°You don¡¯t have to.¡± ¡°no. It is a reasonable payment. Moreover, the reason Raymond got hurt was my fault for choosing a dangerous path. ¡°Are you okay there, Raymond?¡± In fact, a large share of the fault lay with Raymond, who did not listen to Dio¡¯s words and went outside the border. Nevertheless, he is an A-class mercenary who does not show it and says it is his fault. At this, Raymond immediately remembered a story he had heard a long time ago going around among mercenaries. -The fundamentals are different for Class A mercenaries. Raymond thought they were just arrogant and drunk on ratings. But that wasn¡¯t it. I was finally able to understand that it was not just a simple difference in grade, but the ¡®fundamental¡¯ itself was different. Did they say that hearing a hundred times is worse than seeing once? Now Raymond withdrew his crooked gaze and answered in a tone full of respect. ¡°Uh no¡­ Yes bro! I¡¯m really sorry! I¡¯ll be careful to make sure something like this doesn¡¯t happen next time!¡± ¡®As planned.¡¯ On the other hand, Dio just smiled inwardly as things worked out just as he had planned. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 7 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 7Episode 7 When a group of werewolves came, Dio led the group to a safe path because it would be a pain. After that, I passed the road without much trouble and went to a remote place where there were no monsters or people, so I was able to safely land in the cave. Maybe it was because of all the chaos, but without Dio saying anything, the mercenaries searched the surroundings on their own to make sure they were safe. Then, the relaxed mercenaries began talking among themselves. ¡°I never thought there would be a cave in such a remote place.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really good that you believed what Monte said. ¡°Even we locals are going to places we don¡¯t know.¡± Raymond and Dio are amazed at the cave not marked on the map, and Laika praises them. Dio responded with a light wave of his hand. ¡°The role of a guide is something that anyone can do.¡± Dio was humbled because he didn¡¯t want the mercenaries to trust him too much. In the current situation, there is nothing more dangerous than insensitivity to safety. If the mercenaries, who are Dio¡¯s only weapon and shield, lean on him and become lax, it could be a shortcut to a major accident. Therefore, Dio wanted the mercenaries to be confident in themselves. ¡°How humble you are!¡± ¡°When we¡¯re done, I want to hear Monte¡¯s adventure story. ¡°While having a drink.¡± ¡°The mission that earned you the imperial insignia must have been enormous, right?¡± ¡°Something like subjugating dragons!¡± The mercenaries seem to be much more at ease than before they left, whether they know how Dio feels or not. They were talking about a fun after-party as if they had already completed their mission. A class A mercenary is with them. That alone made it natural for them to drink kimchi soup first. However, Dio, who needed to calm the mercenaries¡¯ excitement, forced a frown and opened his mouth. ¡°It¡¯s never too late to celebrate later. ¡°The cave will be safe from monsters, so wait here until morning.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, the mercenaries hurriedly began preparing for the second camp before daylight completely set. Dio, who was on first watch duty, thought once again about his future schedule as he watched his companions fall asleep. ¡®There hasn¡¯t been any major problems so far. The mercenaries are also following along better than expected.¡¯ Dio looked at the party window and checked the status of the mercenaries. Most of the injuries suffered by the werewolf by Raymond and the mercenaries were recovered with Clara¡¯s help. ¡®At this level, it can be said that there is no damage.¡¯ Dio was also lucky to be able to get this kind of additional help if he had a priest in his party. This was because the mercenaries were not only protecting priests, but in fact they also included Dio. ¡®It¡¯s all according to plan up to this point. There is no problem crossing Dunnville Forest. It will actually be easier. The more we do that, the more cautious we must be. The problem is¡­¡¯ Dio recalled what he had always been worried about after admitting that he had entered the game world. Major update. Currently at the beginning of the main story. Dio¡¯s survival strategy is his experience as a dead person. The problem is that this update may change the story you know. ¡®You have to assume all variables and prepare for them. All of them, even the worst of them. More carefully and more thoroughly.¡¯ Over the fantasy, advertising phrases that seem more realistic than reality. Perhaps that¡¯s why Dio¡¯s actions so far were not much different from gameplay. However, in the current situation where his life may be at stake, Dio pledged once again. He has raised 7 max level characters in the world of Order Board, which boasts extremely difficult levels of difficulty. I was willing to do something that others would never do, seven times. ¡®you can do it.¡¯ Dio, determined that he would survive, looked up at the night sky with his fists clenched. * * * Ents of Dunville Forest. Vegetable monsters, including Ents, have the characteristic of having excellent basic specifications. However, there was a reason why the strength of the plants was set high on the order board, which did not create any monsters roughly. There is a fatal weakness that the plant type has. What are the weaknesses of the tree-shaped Ents? Often, the first thing that comes to mind is ¡®fire¡¯. According to common sense, ¡®fire¡¯ burns down all plants. However, Ents are walking biomass. If their bodies catch fire, it is very likely that the entire forest will catch fire. If a forest fire breaks out, the Ents can be easily dealt with, but the problem is that it is also fatal to the players. So what is the solution? A way to get through the Ents living in the entire forest under the condition of not using fire. The question of this first arose in Dio¡¯s ¡®Cursed Forest¡¯, which was set as the area with the worst difficulty on the order board. ¡®The habitat of plant-based monsters is fixed to the forest, but there was not a single plant-based monster in the cursed forest.¡¯ Ordinary order board players did not think much of that fact. But Dio was different. He thought there must be a good reason for this and studied to find out the order board¡¯s intentions. What we learned there is that Ents are vulnerable to ¡®disease¡¯. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. * * * Just as there are fatal diseases for humans, there are diseases that are fatal for plants, such as blight. After conducting several studies based on the past potato blight, Dio created a new item called ¡®Great Plant Blight¡¯ on the order board. Dio had expected to pass through Dunville Forest from the beginning, so he packed all the plague in the warehouse a long time ago. He sprayed not only the mercenaries¡¯ weapons but also every corner of his body as if he were spraying perfume in preparation for any unexpected situation. From the Ents¡¯ perspective, Dio was a walking disease. This led to a strange phenomenon in which the Ents avoided them on their own, and the mercenaries were amazed. ¡°It¡¯s really amazing. ¡°It¡¯s an enchantment that¡¯s effective against Ents!¡± ¡°It¡¯s no big deal.¡± It was troublesome to explain to the mercenaries that they had created a plague. When I told him that it was an enchantment supported by the Mercenary Association, he seemed to completely believe it. [3551 experience points were obtained.] [Experience points are not applied because I did not change jobs.] [3551 experience points were acquired.] [Experience points were not applied because I did not change jobs.] Let the Ents fall down like a helpless scarecrow. It rang continuously. If I had just changed jobs, I would have been able to level up easily here in Dunville Forest. Because the quantity of homemade plague was limited, it was not possible to spread it to the entire party. Perhaps because of this, Ents sometimes attacked the mercenaries who followed, but Dio gave appropriate instructions each time. ¡°Originally, we would have to be careful of their stems and branches, but now the situation is better on our side. ¡°It¡¯s okay to be a little more aggressive.¡± Dio is secretly meddling. Aside from the other mercenaries, even Raymond, who was likely to express his dissatisfaction, silently followed his words. Before I knew it, Raymond was also acknowledging Dio. ¡°Leica. There is no need to block with a shield. ¡°Because of the enchantment effect, it would be much easier if you hit its body with a large shield, right?¡± ¡°Is this really amazing?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­but it will be difficult to gather because the Ents have rotted away.¡± The mercenaries easily realized the fatal drawback of using plague to hunt Treants. The sap that can be obtained from Ents is an item that can be used for all kinds of things, including ingredients for medicine. However, if you use the plague, everything will rot or dry out, leaving the Ents with nothing to gain. ¡°Usually mercenaries who are that greedy are the first to die.¡± ¡°¡­I¡¯m not complaining.¡± Dio reminds us of the position of a mercenary who receives rewards by completing missions rather than making money through gathering. Safety was more important than money, so he warned the mercenaries again several times. Then they were finally able to arrive in front of the big willow tree. ¡®It should be around here¡­¡¯ Dio walked around the willow tree that he clearly remembered and found a huge knot large enough for a person to fit inside. ¡°Do I really have to go in here?¡± ¡°Okay, it might be a little difficult for you, but there¡¯s a lot more space downstairs, so you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Dio nods and answers Laika¡¯s question. ¡°Haha, so I told you to lose weight.¡± ¡°Am I average?¡± ¡°How are you? Hey, did you hear what he said? ¡°The land price is average.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio, who took the lead leaving behind the bickering mercenaries, went straight into the Ong and held out his hand to Clara. ¡°Oh, thank you.¡± ¡°be careful. ¡°It will fall, so don¡¯t be surprised.¡± ¡°Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!¡± Dio and Clara slid down the tree and came across a passage decorated with shining moss. ¡°I can¡¯t believe there was a space like this¡­¡± ¡°What are these murals?¡± Dio, who was listening to the companions, remembered the setting of the mural they were talking about. ¡®okay. There was a mural here too.¡¯ Murals like this existed all over the continent of Orderpan. A mural showing scenes from the next chapter or the overall flow of the main story. If you analyze this well, you can get helpful clues in the process of playing the next main story. ¡®Once I figured out that the contents of the mural were clues, it became much easier to tell the story.¡¯ So Dio looked at the mural a little more carefully. It was a mural I had seen a long time ago while doing a related quest, but no matter how Dio I am, I cannot remember it perfectly. Now you don¡¯t know if your life depends on your every action. If there was any helpful information, I didn¡¯t want to miss out on even the smallest detail. ¡®I think it was a mural depicting a confrontation between evil gods and Luna¡­¡¯ A confrontation between one of the many evil gods who follow the demon god and Luna, the moon god. The murals in the tunnels of this forgotten temple contain exactly this. Silver-blue armor worn by the paladins depicted in the mural. That was the uniform that was the symbol of the Luna Church. But at that time, Dio was looking at the mural carefully. ¡°What are these guys doing here? Are you executing prisoners?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know that this knight in yellow armor appoints him? Don¡¯t you know about the investiture ceremony? ¡°You ignorant bastard.¡± ¡°Then what is that phrase?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know! ¡°I¡¯m blind!¡± ¡°I¡¯m proud.¡± Yellow armor? Investiture ceremony? Dio¡¯s head turned reflexively at the sound of the mercenaries¡¯ voices. The place where the mercenaries were standing is shown in the second half of the mural. ¡®There is something.¡¯ Dio quickly approached the place, pushed away the mercenaries who were chatting, and came closer to him. And the next moment. ¡°¡­!¡± Dio¡¯s eyes widened as he discovered a painting he had never seen before. ¡®What¡¯s this? ¡®It¡¯s different from the murals I know, isn¡¯t it?¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 8 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 8Episode 8 Dio, who looked at the mural in detail, was very embarrassed, but did his best to not show it on the outside. It¡¯s definitely a composition I¡¯ve never seen before. But for some reason, it never felt like I was seeing it for the first time. So Dio began to squeeze out as much memory as he could, and after a while, he was able to realize it. ¡®for a moment.¡¯ The painting on the mural¡­ almost matched that of the trailer video released with this large-scale update. ¡®This¡­ is the same composition as the trailer video, right?¡¯ The Paladin and Pabal appear at the beginning of the trailer video. The impressive appearance of those two, who were portrayed so intensely, was clearly imprinted on this mural. ¡°Whoa.¡± Dio took a deep breath and his heart began to beat faster. ¡®This major update. There is a high probability that it is directly or indirectly related to what happened to me being sucked into the game.¡¯ Therefore, finding clues related to him was something that Dio could never take lightly. ¡®Let¡¯s stay calm. ¡®Not sure yet.¡¯ After gathering his thoughts, Dio approached Clara this time. Her identity is a priest of the Luna Church, who is the main character of this mural. I thought she might know something more. ¡°Priest, what are these murals and phrases?¡± Clara, who was looking at the mural at the time, answered Dio¡¯s question with a flushed expression. ¡°ah! This is a prophetic book! In addition to the murals, our Luna has a mission to dispatch to the entire continent to find traces of ancient times.¡± Clara continued her explanation without even looking at Dio, probably excited that she had found such a valuable item in a passageway rather than a temple. ¡°And this phrase is written in the script of an ancient sacred kingdom that has now disappeared. wait a minute. Let me interpret it. Uh¡­ we¡¯ve arrived at the end of the world¡­?¡± Clara begins writing down records about the mural using the parchment and magic quill she brought with her without Dio asking. However, Dio found what he needed in her words and his eyes sparkled. Now at least one thing is clear. -We have arrived at the end of the world. The first line of the song lyrics that appear at the beginning of the trailer. Now that that has been confirmed through records, there is no room for doubt. Dio left the noisy group behind the mural and fell into deep thought. ¡®The mural I remembered has changed.¡¯ The mural serves as a ¡®prophecy¡¯ that shows what will happen in the future. This will be the same setting as Dio remembers. However, what is written on the changed mural is the content of the Season 2 update trailer. That meant that the prophecy about the mural that Dio already knew would also change. So, it is not strange at all if there are variables in the destination temple that Dio does not know about. ¡®The song in the trailer and the knight and pabal are clearly connected to the forgotten temple. Because the background of the mural was a forgotten temple in the first place.¡¯ D.O. began to coordinate the number of unexpected situations that could arise from this. ¡®Then it wouldn¡¯t be strange at all if a related quest occurred in the temple¡­ Is it still right to keep moving forward?¡¯ Dio bit his lower lip slightly. I felt a little fear of unknown territory, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn¡¯t go back from here. Not only was there no reason to ask the mercenaries and Clara to return, but there was no way to force them to return. Moreover, if you do not succeed in changing jobs anyway, it is impossible to survive in this world of order boards in the long term. ¡®okay. Fuck¡­ I haven¡¯t always done quests without variables.¡¯ It¡¯s not about risking your life to fight change. It is about challenging change in order to survive. As I organized my thoughts, I felt lighter. ¡®I guessed that the process of changing jobs would not be smooth¡­¡¯ Nevertheless, Dio believed in his own abilities, so he decided that he would definitely be able to get through it. Didn¡¯t I just find some very important information that I almost overlooked in this mural? ¡°Now shall we move again?¡± The noisy group became quiet as Clara finished recording the mural. Dio also woke up from his thoughts, strengthened his mind, and led everyone. * * * How long has it been? After chasing the luminous body for a long time, the group finally discovered the light heading to the ground. Raymond, who followed Dio and Clara to the ground, blinked and opened his mouth. ¡°It¡¯s directly connected to the historical site?¡± The mercenaries who followed Raymond were equally surprised to see fragments of buildings showing signs of age here and there. ¡°The temple is probably in the center. ¡°We¡¯re almost there.¡± ¡°Yes, I will do my best!¡± Dio spoke to Clara who was dusting herself off and she responded energetically. After exiting the passage, the group immediately followed behind Dio and moved toward their destination. A forgotten temple classified as a ruin. As I passed by the collapsed debris that was probably the garden of a long-ago temple, I saw a somewhat unique, moss-covered stone statue. ¡°and! ¡°What a beautiful stone statue!¡± Dio¡¯s eyes naturally turned to Clara¡¯s admiration. Then the next moment. ¡®for a moment.¡¯ Dio discovered something and quickly approached the statue. ¡®This too¡­ is my first time seeing a stone statue.¡¯ Dio recalled the mural he saw when passing through a hidden passage. Like the mural, the stone statue is also different from Dio¡¯s memories. ¡®More than anything, the shape of this armor is exactly the same as what we saw in the trailer.¡¯ I am not talking about armor that follows the style of a Luna Church paladin. The gorgeous armor worn by the protagonist of the trailer video depicted in the latter half of the mural. The armor the statue is wearing clearly matches that armor, so there is a high probability that this statue is also the main character in the trailer video. However, as Dio was thinking about such thoughts, he suddenly realized another fact. ¡®for a moment. Now that I think about it, this place¡­¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes widened slightly as he looked around. ¡®This is where the guardian statue was originally located, right?¡¯ In most temples on the Order Board, there is a ¡®guardian¡¯ who guards the temple. So, there was a guardian in this forgotten temple, and the place where this mossy stone statue now stands was originally the guardian¡¯s seat. The original guardian statue has disappeared and a new, completely unknown statue has been erected? In the case of forgotten temples, the gods did not exist. There has never been a Guardian who lost power due to this and has never woken up¡­ ¡®It¡¯s dangerous!¡¯ Alarm bells instantly began to ring in Dio¡¯s head. fault-! As Dio quickly backed away from the statue, Clara asked with a puzzled expression. ¡°What¡¯s going on, Monte?¡± ¡°This statue¡­ I thought for a moment that it might be a guardian.¡± Clara looked quite surprised by Dio¡¯s answer. ¡°Monte¡­ do you also know about the guardian of the temple?¡± ¡°I also know that if our forces were to face each other right now, we would be annihilated in the blink of an eye.¡± Clara smiled at Dio¡¯s words and continued speaking again. ¡°Yes, Monte, you are right. The guardians who protect the temple¡­ will have a hard time dealing with even our Holy Knights from the Luna Church. But it¡¯s okay here. ¡°I was sent additionally because the church had already determined that there were no risk factors here.¡± S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, even after hearing Clara¡¯s story, Dio was not completely reassured. ¡®Still, there is a clear possibility that he will wake up. What is different from when they explored this place is the presence of the ¡®player¡¯. The situation is completely different.¡¯ If Dio is missing from the temple mission members. Perhaps the variables that D.O. was worried about may not occur. But does the system now see Dio as a player? Or do they see me as a person from this world? Nothing can be known exactly. Dio must always consider the worst possible variables assuming he is a player. Therefore, Dio hurriedly passed the place where the stone statue was and moved towards the altar. ¡®okay. Let¡¯s start by changing jobs first. After I succeed in changing jobs¡­ I¡¯ll have to explore here again after I¡¯ve leveled up enough.¡¯ ¡°I can see the altar over there!¡± Dio raised his head when he heard the mercenary¡¯s voice awakening his thoughts. A towering obelisk was visible where the mercenaries were pointing. Because this was an old temple, it had a monotonous structure. The temple certainly looked the same as Dio remembered, but Dio didn¡¯t let his guard down. One step. Two steps. As I walked towards the altar, I felt both anxious and excited about my job change. If Dio¡¯s guess is correct. So, if you really succeed in changing to a hidden class. [We entered the first area of Lost Ancient Heritage.] It was clear that it would be a complete disaster. This is because ordinary classes and hidden classes will be on different levels from the start. Tiring-! [The first condition of the quest has been met.] [The mercenaries have safely arrived at their destination.] ¡°Thank you all for your hard work. Thanks to you, we arrived safely.¡± Clara¡¯s purpose was to record ancient traces hidden throughout the ruins. That means Dio will also be given free time until Clara¡¯s record is finished. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take care of some business for a while.¡± Clara responded to Dio¡¯s words. ¡°Ah, Monte, you said you had business at the temple, right?¡± ¡°Maybe¡­ it won¡¯t take long.¡± After answering quickly and concisely, Dio began walking toward the altar again. But after a while. The moment Dio took his first steps up the altar steps. Faat ¨C [The hidden conditions of the ancient heritage have been met.] A golden air current began to swirl throughout Dio¡¯s body along with an unexpected system message. ¡°¡­!¡± And the next moment. Ugh-! The book of previous jobs that had clearly been stored in the inventory was suddenly floating in front of Dio. * * * Clara gazed closely at Monte¡¯s back as he walked toward the altar. ¡®Monterra¡­ He was by no means an ordinary mercenary. Even if he was an A-class mercenary, he would know about the existence of the Guardian¡­¡¯ In fact, although she did not show it, she was observing Monte closely. There wasn¡¯t any doubt. I was just curious as to what purpose the Class A mercenary had for coming to this forgotten temple that the church considers important. ¡®Do you know any special information that the church doesn¡¯t know?¡¯ So she moved cautiously after Monte. In any case, her purpose was to record the ancient language of this altar, so it was not an action that should raise suspicion. But after a while. Thump- Kuku-kung-! Clara had no choice but to freeze in place as if she were a stone. ¡°What is this¡­!¡± The temple obelisk suddenly begins to shake violently. At the same time, a golden airflow emanated from the altar. Blah blah blah blah! It was pouring down towards the statue she had passed. Thump-thump-! The stone statue had suddenly awakened and was walking towards the altar. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 9 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 9Episode 9: Is that sound made by the stone statue shaking? Or is Dio¡¯s own heart beating loudly? The dazzling sky, which had not a single cloud in sight, suddenly became shadowy. No, it became bright again. Light and darkness repeated once, and at the end it was covered in dark shadows. It seemed as if it had been artificially shown that time was passing quickly. Dio did not understand this strange phenomenon, but he clearly remembered it. ¡®This production is also clearly from the second trailer of the order version¡­¡¯ The cracked surface turned into powder and scattered, and ¡®it¡¯ inside the stone statue appeared. The mercenaries started shouting and running away. ¡°What¡­is this?¡± ¡°Run¡­run away!¡± Even as the mercenaries were running away, Dio was lost in thought with his fists tightly clenched. ¡®The statue seemed somewhat uneasy¡­¡¯ It was clearly an unexpected crisis, but Dio¡¯s mind was rather calm. And the reason was, ironically, the ¡®unreasonable¡¯ current situation. Dio¡¯s gaze is now on the fully awakened statue. No, it was aimed at the Guardian. He couldn¡¯t understand that ¡®that¡¯ appeared in an area around level 100. That is not ¡®difficult¡¯ but ¡®unreasonable¡¯. ¡®Even if I were a normal level 100 player, not me, who is level 10, if I were to fight that guy, the way to win would be zero.¡¯ Jet black armor surrounding the entire body. A cursed paladin who transcends death. Death Knight. Death Knight is a monster that appears as a boss in ¡®Resurrection of the Ancient Gods¡¯, a mid-to-late episode of the main story that takes place after level 300. Because that was the identity of the guardian who woke up from that statue. ¡®This is going to be fun.¡¯ If a level 150-200 guardian had appeared, Dio might have despaired. Fighting with a guardian of that level could easily have been a ¡®planning intention¡¯ in a level 100 area. However, that Death Knight is a monster that is difficult for even level 300 users to deal with. ¡®That means that the intention of this sudden event was at least not a battle with that monster.¡¯ At least while playing this order board, I have never seen a quest whose purpose was to not be able to clear it. And the next moment. Tiring! [You possess the ¡®Book of Changes¡¯.] [The user¡¯s class is ¡®No Class¡¯.] [A forced quest is activated.] [Type: Hidden Quest] [The activation conditions for the Hidden Quest are satisfied.] [ Obtain the Death Knight¡¯s sword.] Dio¡¯s eyes sparkled as he discovered the messages that emerged one after another. My heart was still pounding and pounding, but thanks to the message just now, it seemed like my guess had turned into certainty. ¡®Then¡­¡¯ Information related to the Death Knight strategy that he knew all too well began to appear in Dio¡¯s mind. * * * [Strategy] How to easily conquer Death Knight [Author] Max Level Gaza Views: 38394 We teach you how to eat Death Knight as easily as a cake. Anyone raising a paladin will know this. Even among the undead, he is strangely weak to divine power. But does that mean I have to delete the ID I was raising and raise myself as a Holy Knight again? Then, do you think I would have used this strategy? Haha. Listen carefully. just. uh? It¡¯s just so fucking easy. Take only one priest among the NPCs. You know that if you add a priest to your party, you get a buff, right? After making a fool of myself with that, I¡¯m going to bind the Death Knight. You¡¯re not a bondage girl? No, the binding is done by the priest. What does this mean? Once again, Death Knights are weak to divine power. You can see that it penetrates warrior shields well, but cannot penetrate paladin shields, right? Then, cast the shield used by the priest on the Death Knight. You know that Death Knight Phase 1 is as stupid as Sans, right? However, if you do this, you will overdo the Death Knight and break the shield and skip Phase 1. If you get a good response, you will also be informed of the different types of Death Knight Phase 2 gimmicks. Recommend: 1509 Not Recommend: 4 -Wow! You know Sans. If I put on a shield, I¡¯ll be really scared. It¡¯s easy. ¨C LOL I¡¯m thinking like crazy about putting a shield on a monster S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¨C LOL But if I do that, I¡¯ll catch a Death Knight even if I order Poppy from my house ¨C Ugh, you¡¯re not at max level Gaz, you¡¯re likeable ¨C What is level 4, is it a Death Knight? ©¸ Looks like Death Knight and Apostles haha * * * Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I think it looks like it is a death knight and apostles hahahaha * * * rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I think it looks like it looks like death knight and apostles lol. As soon as the Death Knight appeared, a wall of flames with an ominous green fluorescence was created in the surrounding area. A guillotine match commonly seen in hidden quests where boss monsters appear. This means there is no place to run now. [How dare you set foot in the sanctuary¡­] Dio did not move even in response to the Death Knight¡¯s terrifying voice. The situation seemed to have gotten worse, but Dio was now completely calm. I now know clearly from the system message just now. ¡®This quest¡­ is a quest designed to be completed at level 10 or lower, not at level 100.¡¯ What Dio realized was not a big deal. What was the trigger that triggered this sudden event? I remembered that. ¡®The system said the hidden condition was satisfied. And the condition is to have the Book of Change in a non-class state.¡¯ The saying that ¡®no class¡¯ is a condition is consistent with the saying that ¡®be below level 10¡¯ is a condition. And a quest designed to be completed at level 10? There is no way Dio, the rotten water among stagnant water, could not do something like that. So what should Dio do now? That was to safely pass the first phase of Death Knight. Death Knight is designed to run wild without any sense until the first phase is passed. If you pass this safely, you will be able to attempt to ¡®talk¡¯ to the Death Knight. How do you survive Phase 1 of Death Knight at level 10? No need to worry. Phase 1 of Death Knight is a phase that has nothing to do with level. The official name of Phase 1 of Death Knight is ¡®Soul Encroachment¡¯. ¡®Whether you are level 1 or 500, if you cannot avoid this ¡®soul encroachment¡¯ pattern, you will become ¡®soul bound¡¯.¡¯ And Dio has conquered this phase so many times that he can avoid it all with his eyes closed. Now, I¡¯ve even come up with a method that¡¯s close to a cheat so I don¡¯t have to go through all that trouble. ¡®Clara is also a priest who completed her second job advancement. You can definitely use the Holy Shield.¡¯ Dio recalled the information about Clara that he had checked through the party window. According to the information, Clara was able to use the ¡®Holy Shield¡¯ from her second job change, so there is no problem. Dio¡¯s gaze moved towards Clara, who was frozen like a stone statue. ¡°Priest, please prepare the Holy Shield!¡± ¡°yes¡­? yes!?¡± Clara could not hide her embarrassment as Dio rolled up his sleeves and spoke in a low voice. ¡°Are you going to fight? No! ¡°You have to run away too!¡± Clara, who knew exactly who appeared in front of her, desperately shook her head to stop Dio. ¡°There is nowhere to run anyway.¡± ¡°That¡¯s¡­!¡± ¡°There is no time! Put the shield on him!¡± ¡°yes? This doesn¡¯t make sense. To some monster¡­¡± ¡°Hurry before he hits the player!¡± There was no time to explain anything to Clara. Dio shouted at Clara, who was unconscious, unlike his usual way of dealing with her. At Dio¡¯s urging, Clara nodded as if she had no choice, then held her trembling hands together and closed her eyes. ¡°¡­The protection of the holy moonlight will protect us.¡± As Clara began to pray, the blue energy of moonlight shimmered on her staff. Then, perhaps reacting to divine power, the Death Knight looks at Clara with his eyes flashing. A death knight moves slowly and approaches Clara. Dio grabbed Clara¡¯s still hesitant arm and fixed her staff towards the Death Knight. The target is Death Knight. ¡°now!¡± ¡°Ho Holy Shield!¡± Woe! The energy of brilliant blue moonlight was shot at the approaching Death Knight. A tall, cool-colored barrier enveloped the Death Knight¡¯s entire body, and he stopped in place as if it were a lie. Clara spoke with a trembling mouth as she finally understood why the order was to use the protection spell on enemies rather than allies. ¡°Seo¡­ success!¡± Because Death Knights are undead, the Holy Shield acts as a prison rather than protection! Clara was skeptical about how she knew this information, but was happy at the same time. But it is still too early to be reassured. Dio focused on the Death Knight¡¯s every move with a very nervous expression. ¡®If the shield is released too quickly, the phase may not be completely skipped. If you see any sign of that, you should be ready to dodge immediately¡­¡¯ The Death Knight , surrounded by a shield, took a step forward while creaking. It¡¯s as if a puppet is forcing itself to overcome the strings that control its body. ¡°Mo¡­ Monte!¡± Clara was frightened and grabbed the hem of Dio¡¯s clothes. ¡®little¡­! little bit more!¡¯ Dio bit his lower lip tightly. I didn¡¯t want to drag Phase 1 into the physical realm because if I made a mistake, I could die. If you¡¯ve gone through all this trouble, shouldn¡¯t there be times when things get easier? A death knight whose movements are restricted and creaks as if he is bound by an invisible thread. After a while, a little relief fell on Dio¡¯s face as he continued to watch the guy. The Death Knight, whose movements had completely stopped, momentarily raised one arm. This is a precursor to the beginning of Phase 2! ¡®it¡¯s okay!¡¯ Black energy emanates from the guy¡¯s body. The energy was so thick that the inside of the shield where the Death Knight was trapped was covered with black smoke. A shield that expands from within. And finally¡­. Clink! As soon as the shield was broken, the restrictions on the Death Knight¡¯s actions were lifted. ¡°Aaaah!¡± The aftereffects were so powerful that the recoil alone broke the shield and sent Clara flying far away. And then Death Knight¡¯s Phase 2 gimmick begins! The black smoke emitted by the Death Knight rose into the sky and formed four spears. thud! thud! thud! thud! Soon, the spears were struck in the north, south, east, and west, centered on Dio. Wow ¨C the energy that emanated from the Death Knight spread out from the pillar-like window. In an instant, a space was created just for Death Knight and Dio. A gimmick for Death Knight, a master of close combat. The Death Knights began to rush forward with movements that were difficult to follow with the eyes. What he was aiming for was Dio, who had become the target of the gimmick. But Dio was already preparing. A way to try to talk to him before the gimmick of Phase 2 begins in earnest. Dio knew that very well. Thump-thump-pa-ba-ba-bak! The new type of Death Knight blew like a gust of wind, coming right in front of Dio and stopping tall. As soon as the violent movement stopped, the wind blew like a typhoon, unable to overcome the Death Knight¡¯s inertia. If Dio¡¯s judgment is wrong, the Death Knight¡¯s sword will fall on his neck. However, there was no trace of tension or anxiety in Dio¡¯s appearance. * * * In any game, a Death Knight is not a miscellaneous mob. Especially in the world of Order, which has a strong worldview, even if it is just a monster, there is a detailed background and setting for it. So, all of the Death Knights that exist on the Order Board have their own stories. And the moment these Death Knights each tell a ¡®story¡¯ related to themselves, Phase 2 stops. However, Dio has completely guessed who this Death Knight is. This means that there is no need to be afraid at that point. So Dio looked him in the eye and said this. ¡°Don¡¯t you know me?¡± And the next moment¡­. [The conditions are met.] [The ¡®dialogue field¡¯ is activated.] The Death Knight¡¯s sword, which was rushing towards him with the power to cut Dio in two at any moment, stopped tall in front of him as if it were a lie. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 10 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 10Episode 10: We have arrived at the end of the world. I¡¯ve seen a lot during that time. The greed of the nobles, the hatred of the fairies, the swamp of false gold and death. At that time, you and I were connected by a bond of blood. You were like a flower that bloomed even in war. The story of Over the Fantasy begins with an unusual song. fluttering flags. A paladin who commands numerous soldiers in a disciplined manner. The paladin, whose entire body was covered in dazzling golden plate armor, stood alone in front of the battlefield with his eyes closed. ¡®Dark, I will definitely complete my mission and return.¡¯ Pabal swore to the Holy Knight that he would definitely bring reinforcements from the capital. These were the key factors that determined victory or defeat in this war. Buu ¨C The sacred trumpet sounds. Guardians of light who marched out to win the temple. The Paladin had to stay in this position until they returned. The point where the focus was on the Paladin began to rise to the sky. Time passes quickly. The sky darkens and brightens repeatedly, and then the viewpoint comes down to the ground again. The newly shown viewpoint was not where the Paladin was standing. Monsters that appear all over the continent. And the player¡¯s various class characters to stop them. Swordsman Ssang, who is about to make the final move, rides forward on horseback. Grab your weapons against the orc army! The two prosecutors bounce and smile. ¡°The time has come!¡± The ground on which the two swordsmen are standing inverts and the screen turns upside down. It shines again on the paladin in the blazing temple. The paladin¡¯s shining armor was covered in blood. Monsters running at full speed with a growl sound. Just before the sharp teeth of the monsters collide with the sword of the paladin ¨C OVER THE FANTASY SECOND UPDATE -COMING SOON- * * * A trailer video released by Over the Fantasy to the world for promotional purposes ahead of the new update. The Death Knight of the Forgotten Temple that Dio now encounters is his ¡®first¡¯ experience as an old man. If you are a player of Dio¡¯s level, you can get a clue simply by being the first. The clue is that the quest in front of you is a story newly added through an update. The newly added story is clearly related to the trailer. Before proceeding with the ¡®Chapter of Conversation¡¯, D.O. recalled the trailer video in question in detail. It¡¯s not just something that comes to mind. Dio, who was eagerly awaiting the update to the order board, was able to memorize each and every frame-by-frame scene in the video. A place seen in the trailer. This composition. The Gothic plate armor worn by the Paladin seen in the video looked the same as the Death Knight, with only a different color. Dio got a hint from the order board system and the related preview video. As D.O. previously assured, the Order Board never gives impossible, unreasonable missions. [Acquire the Death Knight¡¯s sword.] And. [The ¡®Conversation Hall¡¯ is activated.] This hidden quest did not contain any information about fighting the Death Knight. It is important to find ¡®hints¡¯ hidden by the system. From the beginning, the system recognized that Dio had an item that satisfied the hint. Otherwise, this hidden quest wouldn¡¯t have even started. ¡®But it¡¯s not a former book.¡¯ The Book of Change is simply one of the activation conditions for the Hidden Quest. Based on my experience so far, if it was possible to clear it through a book of advancement, there would be no way they would announce it so openly. Then, besides that. What¡¯s in Dio¡¯s inventory? What item is the condition for activating this quest and is it an item that can be solved? Jeonghwacho targeting werewolves? A plague attacking the Ents of Dunville Wood? No, I took care of it before that. The Imperial Medal. The Imperial Medal is an item that is relevant to the current situation. The sub-characters who can obtain the Imperial Medal are proof that they saw the future as other characters. The order board would have prioritized preparation for new players entering the game. ¡®If the Death Knight was set to appear in this hidden advancement location¡­¡¯ That means there would be a very easy way other than catching the Death Knight. why? The developer must have thought about new and returning users. Even if it¡¯s not a stagnant game, users should be able to know that there is a ¡®space for conversation¡¯ in front of an unbeatable enemy. A place for conversation against the Death Knights of the Forgotten Temple. The imperial medal required to enter this place can be easily obtained even if it is not in stock. The village general store sells replicas of the Imperial Medal, and the Death Knight will not care whether they are genuine or imitation. ¡®No, it has to be okay.¡¯ That way, even low-level new users can proceed with the quest as the developers intended. Now that we understand the developer¡¯s intention, it¡¯s time to pay attention to the trailer. Order Pan likes to give clues and hints in trailers. In that case, you can find a clue in the fact that the Death Knight from the Paladin era is waiting for Pabal, who has left to call reinforcements. ¡®Dark, the name of the Death Knight called at that time.¡¯ The Death Knight¡¯s name being called in the trailer is not just a MacGuffin. ¡®Wandering Ghost¡¯, a tier 3 monster that appears after the 3rd job change. Among the empire¡¯s quests, there was also a quest to catch this ghost. Upon completing the quest, you can obtain an Imperial Medal, and the medal you obtain can be used in various ways. Medals can be exchanged for other items, and consumables can be used to summon scarecrow soldiers. However, since its performance for such purposes is not that great, it is often used as an accessory. ¡®From the moment I saw the murals and statues, I expected a paladin to appear.¡¯ Death Knight is the same character as Paladin, so it won¡¯t be much of a difference. ¡®If the wandering ghost is a dispatcher and the Death Knight is a paladin, then this imperial medal¡­ no, I become that dispatcher!¡¯ Dio looked at the Death Knight with confident eyes and opened his mouth. ¡°Dark! ¡°I have just arrived, completing my mission.¡± [¡­.] At Dio¡¯s words, Death Knight just looked at him in silence. Silence that continues for a while. In the silence that seemed to never end, Dio broke into a cold sweat. A voice came from the mouth of the Death Knight, who seemed to be waiting for something. [¡­I had a hard time.] Dio, who was nervous that something might go wrong, was reassured by the Death Knight¡¯s first words. ¡®good. He recognized me as an ally.¡¯ Dio, who had successfully entered the conversation, looked at the Death Knight who was speaking while placing his hand on his shoulder. [A lot of time has passed.] [We have been defeated and we have lost God.] The Death Knight begins to tell his story. Dio focused on the Death Knight¡¯s words, thinking that he might be able to find clues to the unknown world that had changed with the update. [The wait was forever.] [Langbold Fonte Chris¡­and¡­lost many colleagues.] [And¡­lost ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö.] ¡®What? ¡®You can¡¯t hear it because of the noise!¡¯ Dio listened even more carefully because of the noise that intentionally hid his voice. [I was unable to escape the Promised Land.] [The enemies attacked us with the weapon of corruption¡­] [We had to cut down our comrades with our swords.] [Waiting endlessly in the bondage of blood. We had even forgotten about salvation.] The Death Knight placed his sword on Dio¡¯s shoulder. ¡®Huh!?¡¯ Dio fell to his knees, unable to overcome the sudden influx of energy and the resulting pain. [But.] Death Knight didn¡¯t care whether Dio was in pain or not. He simply continued speaking by patting Dio¡¯s head and shoulders as if performing a ritual with his sword. [You awakened the hope I had forgotten.] [New soldier. Grab your sword.] [We have not succumbed to defeat and rotted away.] [We have merely paused in the long wait.] [I, ¡®Adelia Darc,¡¯ the first sword of the Holy Kingdom, command.] [Let the world know of our second coming. .] [¡ö¡öDo it. Our ¨€¨€¨€¨€.] Noise is heard again, hiding the last words. [We found out that the Death Knight¡¯s identity is ¡®Adelia Darc¡¯, the first Paladin of the ancient holy nation of Hylishkite.] [The Paladin¡¯s second wish was satisfied.] ¡®What!? Adelia Darc? ¡®Dark was not a first name but a last name?¡¯ Dio could not hide his embarrassment at the system he was hearing. This guy is the first paladin of the ancient Holy Kingdom? Yes, I understand that much. Clara said that the lyrics written on the mural were also in an ancient language. But the second wish? ¡®Are you saying waiting for support isn¡¯t the first priority?¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes shook greatly. Holy Knight of the Holy Kingdom. Waiting for support. What else did you miss? sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. D.O. has inferred the ¡®story¡¯ from the trailer so far. Only through scenes and song lyrics. ¡®Wait lyrics?¡¯ Dio, who realized something, recalled in detail the ¡®song¡¯ that announces the beginning of the trailer. The ¡®lyrics¡¯ after the sentence written on the mural. What cannot be left out of the trailer along with the visual beauty is the song. Dio removed the scenes from his memory and began to think only of the song. Video is not the only way to tell a story. Classically, ¡®song¡¯ was a medium that could convey a majestic story. -You were like a flower that bloomed even in war. Judging from this, the song in the video was a song about missing someone. I didn¡¯t think much about it at the time. However, now D.O. has begun to find something he missed in the songs he listened to back then. ¡®If the medal is the second way, then the first way is also something I have right now?¡¯ Dio developed a hypothesis here. It is clear that the main character in the video is a Death Knight. Additionally, what if the ¡®person in question¡¯ who sang the song was also a Death Knight? Not only did this guy break out. What if you missed a specific ¡®person¡¯ among the soldiers who were dispatched? ¡®That person may not be alive now. So¡­does that mean I now have something left behind by that person? ¡®What is that?¡¯ Dio thought sequentially once again. There is only one. The specific ¡®item¡¯ I took along with the Imperial Medal was¡­ ¡®It was a mercenary pack!¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 11 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 11Episode 11 Dio recalled getting the mercenary card at the ¡®Tarot Temple¡¯, a place related to the Holy Kingdom that disappeared in the distant past. ¡®The core of the update is the ancient sacred kingdom that has now disappeared. And the area and related monster items all must have had an impact.¡¯ It¡¯s not a coincidence. Due to the impact of the patch, items related to the ancient sacred kingdom also changed. The random mercenary cards previously obtained now have a special use. ¡®It was a quest item! A quest to solve existing unresolved issues! I don¡¯t know why she failed as a Holy Knight. Dio doesn¡¯t know what happened then. However, it is a song filled with longing. If her religion was love and not God, all the puzzles would fit together. I found the answer. Now all Dio has to do is quickly review the answer sheet to be submitted. Becoming a Death Knight ultimately means being cursed, but there is no need to know what that process is right now. It is important that even though Adelia was cursed, she waited for salvation and waited for someone. Something she wants to wait for even after she dies. What if it¡¯s love and not God? ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Old Class A Mercenary Card] Contents: A card that proves that you are a mercenary who has gone beyond being a veteran and has risen to the rank of expert. The owner of the old and damaged mercenary badge may have a story about a loved one waiting for him for a long time. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Thinking any more is a waste of time. Dio assured that what was waiting for ¡®Adelia¡¯ in front of him was love and took out his mercenary card. Death Knight reacts immediately when Dio takes out the mercenary card. No, it is Adelia Darc, presumed to be the first sword of the Holy Kingdom. [Ahh¡­.] A creepy voice was heard from beneath the jet-black helmet that covered the Death Knight¡¯s face. Clink ¨C You can¡¯t tell what kind of expression the Death Knight is making because of the helmet that is obscured. However, the way he trembled with both hands and even dropped his sword was a reaction that clearly contrasted with the first time. [The Paladin¡¯s first wish was satisfied.] [Adelia¡¯s ¡®wait¡¯ was satisfied and she was qualified to reach the path of truth.] With the system notification sound, the Death Knight took off his helmet. Half of Adelia¡¯s face looked like an undead, with only bones remaining. However, it had not yet decayed, and it was possible to get a glimpse of what she looked like when she was alive through the rotted and crusty outer skin. Adelia¡¯s mouth opens. Were you influenced by the atmosphere? Dio no longer found her voice scary and creepy. [The world fell at my feet. The new era was covered with oblivion.] She was victorious. In countless wars. I fought and waited endlessly for my country and for God. [Do you still love me? Even when I am thirsty for blood and my skin is rotting away?] ¡°Uh¡­huh?¡± Dio blurted out nonsense, confused as to whether Adelia¡¯s lines were addressed to him or if she was just complaining to herself. [My life is nothing but a soul stained with death and becoming sick.] ¡°Uh¡­¡± Adelia continued, coming closer to Dio, who was just stupidly opening his mouth. ¡®How do I know that? ¡®I¡¯m not even a party!¡¯ In response to Adelia¡¯s incomprehensible question, Dio blurted out what he wanted to say. But now is the time to focus. Dio decided that he had reached the core of the ¡®dialogue¡¯. [You saved me between light and darkness.] Adelia¡¯s breathing became faster and her tone changed. [Your soul, as white as winter, made me shiver.] Adelia speaks as if she were a lover waiting for Dio. What can we learn from Adelia¡¯s changed tone and lines? What is the most appropriate answer for this timing? Is it right to play the lover that Adelia misses? no. You shouldn¡¯t do that. Dio did not forget. Adelia¡¯s two wishes. Dio is now a dispatcher. The messenger and Adelia¡¯s lover should not be identified. ¡°I am not the one you are waiting for.¡± Adelia¡¯s trembling stopped at Dio¡¯s words. ¡°I just¡­¡± [I know.] Adelia cut Dio off. Dio¡¯s choice was right. She already knows. That Dio is simply a soldier who succeeded in his mission as a dispatcher. And that he was just someone who brought a keepsake for himself. [I know¡­.] Are you saying that you know that Dio is not your lover? Or does it mean that she knows that the person she is waiting for is already dead? It doesn¡¯t matter what it means. Dio was confident that he had successfully led the conversation by simply accepting what he said instead of rejecting it. There is no need for further conversation. Dio grabbed Adelia¡¯s cold gauntlet. A mercenary card in her hand. This is the best option that D.O. can offer right now. Just handing over the memento of the person she had been waiting for so long. Even though Adelia¡¯s face was not intact, Dio could see it. The way she smiles faintly. Adelia knelt in front of Dio and looked up at the sky. [Oh God. When I transcend death, please send my man to paradise.] Adelia, who is praying, looks at Dio again. [He is my sun.] Adelia¡¯s voice becomes quieter. [My flower.] Adelia¡¯s toes stiffened. Her body becoming increasingly petrified. Adelia spoke her last words as she returned to the same statue as before. [My¡­] [Truth.] Suddenly, the mercenary card she was holding dear fell to the floor. Tiring! [The story of the Fallen Paladin has been completed.] [Quest completed!] [Reward ¨C Obtained the Vengeful Sword of the Ancient Dead.] [Hidden achievement achieved!] [Reward ¨C Obtained . ] [The user¡¯s state is reorganized as new characteristics are added.] ¡°What?¡± Fuaaaaaaaaaa! A red energy instantly surrounded Dio along with a system message. ¡°Huh!?¡± D.O. did not let go of his tension until the end. However, he was unable to withstand the red energy pressing on Dio¡¯s mind and immediately lost consciousness. * * * An unfamiliar tent caught my eye. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Dio opened his eyes and raised his upper body with a groan. ¡°Monte!¡± Dio quickly glanced at the surrounding situation while holding his head ringing from the high-pitched voice full of worry. Clara must have nursed him in a temporary tent set up by mercenaries. ¡°Everyone! ¡°Monte has woken up!¡± Clara shouts as she pulls down the tent. When Dio came to his senses, overcoming the aching pain all over his body, he could see the mercenaries completely removing the tent. ¡°You¡¯re awake!¡± ¡°Brother! ¡°I was worried!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so glad.¡± ¡°I believed it! Monte! ¡°You caught that ruthless bastard single-handedly!¡± Clara is crying with the mercenaries who survived the terrifying encounter with the Death Knight. Death Knight¡¯s secondary gimmick is that it takes place in a special space that cannot be seen from the outside. Clara, who was first knocked out by the shock wave, just stamped her feet as she relayed the last image of Dio, who was about to engage in a decisive battle with the Death Knight, to the mercenaries. There was nothing they could do but pray until the situation was over. After waiting, they found Dio, who had fainted, and the Death Knight, who had returned to his statue. Dio felt relieved as he fumbled with the mask he had briefly taken off for the quest. ¡®I guess you didn¡¯t touch the mask.¡¯ My memory was vague, but I guess I rewrote it somehow before I collapsed. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. My body was in a strange and contradictory state, feeling drained yet full of vitality. Dio frowned as he tried to remember the last memory. I think I saw something before I fell¡­ Dio, who was trying to recall his memories, opened his mouth to the noisy mercenaries. ¡°I am okay. ¡°Can you please leave me alone for a moment?¡± ¡°oh! yes! Guys, what are you doing! ¡°Without giving up your seat!¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Raymond left the place, taking Clara and the mercenaries with him. After confirming that they were leaving, Dio immediately brought up the status window and opened the notification list. ¡®Acquired an item?¡¯ Dio, who found a new item in his inventory, immediately opened a window. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Ancient Dead¡¯s Ghost Sword] Binded item level limit 350 special limit ??? ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®I¡¯ve never seen an item like this¡­ Besides, why are special restrictions a question mark?¡¯ In all of the hundreds of rounds I¡¯ve played, I¡¯ve never heard or seen a Death Knight drop a sword like that. There are too many changes. I tried to think of existing quests related to the ancient Holy Kingdom, but it is difficult to recall them all with Dio¡¯s memories. With the vast amount of data, it was difficult to find information about the now forgotten temple. ¡®Still, the key point is that it is an ancient sacred nation. If there¡¯s anything to be gained from this¡­¡¯ Perhaps because I¡¯m overthinking it, my normal thinking circuit doesn¡¯t work. ¡°Damn it.¡± Dio cursed out of his mouth without realizing it. If these unknown things continue to appear, we don¡¯t know how far the impact will go. As the advantage of stagnant water disappears, the struggle to survive becomes more difficult. ¡­But what can you do? Since you decide to live in this world, you must do your best. First, solve the problem at hand. ¡®The unexpected threat was overcome. But the most important thing still remains.¡¯ D.O. finished checking his condition by clenching and unclenching his fist a couple of times. When I heard the story, it was said that the mission was canceled because he fainted for an entire day. Dio came out of the tent and gathered all the mercenaries to complete the suspended mission. ¡°The priest carries out his mission with mercenaries.¡± ¡°What about Monte?¡± Clara asked back what Dio said, and Dio answered her question with a smile. ¡°I have some work to finish.¡± * * * ¡°Um¡­ I don¡¯t feel any energy. ¡°Monte said he solved it, but I don¡¯t know why the Death Knight woke up.¡± Clara opened her mouth as she looked at the Death Knight statue that had returned to its original state. Afterwards, Clara began to look around the forgotten temple, and the mercenaries followed her and escorted her. Dio turned his attention to the group walking away and began to climb the altar of the forgotten temple. ¡®Luckily my former teacher is doing well.¡¯ The Book of Changes, which responded as a condition of the Hidden Quest, was quietly placed in Dio¡¯s inventory at some point. After confirming that, Dio nodded and continued his thoughts. ¡®Now that we¡¯ve solved the Guardian, there will definitely be no more problems.¡¯ Even if there are any left, there is no reason why Dio, who solved even the Guardian, can¡¯t get through it. Dio stood in front of an old altar that clearly showed traces of a long period of time. An item that responded to a hidden quest. I¡¯m sure you can get the hidden class from the altar here. There are no more worries or hesitations. Dio immediately knelt in front of the altar, took out the Book of Changes, and used it. The previous book glowed blue. ¡°Ugh!¡± Dio groaned as he felt a burning pain in his chest. Soon, red energy comes out of Dio¡¯s whole body. The energy came together and created the shape of the weapon used by the Death Knight, the ¡®Ghost Sword of the Forgotten Dead¡¯. ¡®This is the energy that came in when you hit me with the sword.¡¯ Whirik ¨C The shape changed again into the form of a long sword, a short sword, a bow, an ax, a hammer, a spear, a cube, a sphere, a stick, a necklace, a ring, a staff, and all kinds of tools, and finally it turned into a key. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Shapes that change into many colors. Dio, who was staring at it blankly, broke into a cold sweat from the burning pain and watched as the key was inserted into the book of former students and slowly turned. As soon as the blue book of former students gradually turned red, a notification window rang. [You have completed your job change.] [You have leveled up.] [You have leveled up.] . . [You have leveled up.] [We are currently analyzing the most suitable job for the player.] [¡­Analysis has been completed.] [You have changed jobs to ¡®Forgotten Swordsman (Growth Type) ¨C Normal¡¯.] ¡°¡­!! ¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 12 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 12Episode 12: A completely unexpected explosion. The system message that his level had risen constantly appeared to the point that it obscured Dio¡¯s vision. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this?¡± I instantly remembered the monsters I had killed while pretending to be a mercenary with my level 10 body. Did the experience points from the monsters I caught then come in all at once? ¡°What kind of rice cake is this?¡± Job compensation is natural. But in addition, accumulated experience points come as a reward? The mere fact that you have surpassed level 10 means that your chances of survival have increased exponentially¡­ ¡®What a reward!¡¯ Dio, who couldn¡¯t hide his smile, closed the level window and checked the new class he had acquired. ¡°uh?¡± I was not only surprised by the job I saw for the first time. Dio knew that this incident occurred in connection with the second update. However, the problem is that the class level is clearly stated as ¡®normal¡¯. Even though I completed a quest that seemed quite difficult, it was painful to know that my grade was not high. ¡®It was a natural result that I ended up in a job I didn¡¯t know about. But this¡­.¡¯ It¡¯s a normal grade. And what is the growth type? It was the first time in his life that a class had a growth type attached to it. ¡®It will take quite some time.¡¯ It would take a long time to analyze the information about job changes. Deciding that he couldn¡¯t waste time here, Dio immediately got up from his seat. Dio came down from the altar and joined Clara and the mercenaries who were busy searching. ¡°what? ¡°Monte?¡± Clara, who finished her search on time, looked into the eyes of Dio, who was feeling confused, and tilted her head. ¡°Is something wrong?¡± ¡°¡­no. ¡°It worked out well.¡± Are Clara¡¯s senses keen despite the mask? I think somehow the way he looks at me has changed. Dio gave a vague answer to her question. ¡°Yes¡­ I see.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, which had returned to its original state, Clara made a low noise and tilted her head. Dio hurriedly spoke to Clara, who still did not let go of her reluctant expression. ¡°Once it¡¯s over, let¡¯s return.¡± I finished all my business here. Dio, who was running out of time to carry out his future plans, suggested a quick return to his colleagues. The party agreed with Dio¡¯s words and hurriedly headed to Evra Village through the road they came from. * * * ¡°Raymond is on the right there.¡± ¡°Hey you there. ¡°Narrow your elbow angle.¡± ¡°left. ¡°Hold it once and then fight back.¡± ¡°Brunette. Don¡¯t you know that the more you use your wrists, the stronger they become?¡± On the way back to Evra village. Dio¡¯s voice rang loudly amidst the battle between the mercenaries and monsters returning to the village after completing their mission. [Your level has risen.] ¡®I have to take care of what I need to take care of.¡¯ Dio was returning by passing several camps rather than taking a shortcut. Now that you have successfully changed jobs and are able to raise your level, you cannot miss the optimal situation where you can use mercenaries to get help. Of course, because there were a lot of mercenaries, the experience gained was less than expected. However, for Dio, who was still only level 28, it was an opportunity to raise his level significantly. In the name of training, Dio collected the experience points of the monsters the party members hunted. ¡®We need to prepare well for the upcoming wave.¡¯ Monster Wave is an event quest that helps newbie characters who have just reached the appropriate level adapt to the village. For Dio, it is only dangerous due to his low level, but if he is perfectly prepared, it will be an experience event with the highest efficiency compared to the effort. The mercenaries had no way of knowing what Dio was thinking. They simply followed his instructions eagerly, thinking that they could learn directly from an A-class mercenary. ¡®Well, their mission isn¡¯t over yet.¡¯ Dio smiled as he looked at the mercenary who was struggling with his words. Their mission is to bring Clara back safely. Raymond and the mercenaries who followed him would want to receive as much instruction from an A-class mercenary as possible when they had almost completed their mission. ¡°Hey, do you have time to rest?¡± ¡°Huh huh no.¡± ¡°It was you who asked me to teach you during the mission.¡± Dio opened his mouth to reprimand the mercenaries who were taking a breath. ¡°The priest said it was convenient, but if you have a conscience, you won¡¯t have time to catch your breath. ¡°I say it¡¯s nice and comfortable for you guys to rest, but¡­ will you be okay?¡± ¡°no! ¡°I can go on!¡± The mercenaries thought Dio¡¯s words were for their own good and showed a passionate attitude as they stood up again. However, Dio¡¯s actions are only a whipping to get as much out of them as possible. ¡°Eh¡­I¡¯m okay¡­¡± Clara muttered softly, perhaps feeling somewhat sorry for Dio¡¯s Spartan education. Even considering the time wasted due to an unexpected encounter with the Death Knight, Clara had time to spare because she took a shortcut. But¡­ ¡®I don¡¯t have time.¡¯ Unlike Clara, Dio did not have time to spare. You must quickly return to the village while destroying as many of the mercenaries as possible. ¡°Hey there! ¡°I can see you making a fuss.¡± ¡°Wow, I¡¯m sorry. ¡°Monte!¡± ¡­what. Even from the mercenaries¡¯ point of view, it¡¯s not all that bad. Despite Clara¡¯s words that there was no need to rush, Dio pretended to care for her and continued to whip her. Only after Dio reached level 35 was he able to arrive at Evra Village, calling for the end of training. * * * [Entered Evra Village.] After arriving at the village, the party headed to the mercenary guild to report on the completion of the mission. However, Dio, who did not ask for compensation, turned his back to leave them immediately. ¡°oh! ¡°Monte!¡± Clara calls out Dio. ¡°Compensation for the special circumstances of this mission will be paid separately by the Luna Church. Especially to Monte, who saved my life¡­.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Dio, who had expected what Clara would say, cut her off immediately. These people are no longer needed by Dio. Having achieved his intended goal, Dio must now prepare for the monster wave. ¡°older brother! Instead of that, why don¡¯t you have a drink?¡± ¡°is it so! ¡°I want to hear the details of how you dealt with that black bastard!¡± ¡°The priest is leaving because he has something to urgently report to the church, but Monte should at least come!¡± At some point, Raymond naturally began to speak of his older brother. Led by him, the mercenaries who were anxious to talk about this mission shouted one by one. ¡°I still have work to do. ¡°Let¡¯s postpone the banquet until later.¡± From Dio, who spoke so clearly, the mercenaries felt the awkward and heavy air they felt when they first met him. This level is just right. They will consider this mission a valuable experience. The thought of being able to continue a relationship with an A-class mercenary may seem excessively greedy. That¡¯s because the position of an A-class mercenary is extraordinary. Dio left his regretful companions behind and went straight to his lodgings. The original accommodation was under Dio¡¯s name, so Dio found a new room under Monte¡¯s name. Dio, who was assigned a somewhat old but clean room, took off his mask and sat down on the bed. ¡®I feel a little relieved now.¡¯ I couldn¡¯t organize my classes and skills because I was in a rush to get a job change and return. Now that the mission was over, I needed to check it properly. ¡®Stats must be distributed carefully according to class and skill.¡¯ This is a character whose strength stat has already been greatly improved. Even though you have fallen into the game and successfully completed your first goal, the most important first step may be now. good. Then let¡¯s check it out. * * * ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Class: Forgotten Swordsman (Growth Type) ¨C Normal ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Open the status window and check the class again. Dio was lost in thought. What information about classes does the system provide? What D.O. needs to do first now is analyze new jobs. ¡®First of all, it has to do with the key¡­¡¯ There is so much information he doesn¡¯t know. Temple murals and guardians. Death Knight¡¯s sword. Energy received from the Death Knight. key. And¡­ the central point of all the changes that occurred from the 2nd update. ¡®The connection between all of this and Adelia d¡¯Arc will be important.¡¯ Although it was only the beginning, Dio gritted his teeth as situations he didn¡¯t know about unfolded. Dio, who realized that an uncertain future was approaching too early, slowly composed himself. ¡®calm down. This was expected from the beginning. My max level characters were all on different routes and everything was new to me.¡¯ If I had only followed the designated train every time, I would have been beaten long ago. Dio¡¯s method was to research various methods even though the results were the same¡­ Constantly complaining about a given situation is just a waste of time. The class you see for the first time and the main scenario related to it are anything but ordinary. If you make a decision lightly in an uncertain situation, you may find yourself in an irreversible situation. The original goal was to achieve massive ups through monster waves without changing. However, we need to think carefully about our future route. ¡®Is there no choice but to prioritize leveling up but face the future that I don¡¯t know about?¡¯ Yeah, there¡¯s no way I can think of anything if I think about it anymore. Dio opened the system window to know his status more accurately. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Status Window] : 35 : Forgotten Swordsman (Growth Type) ¨C General Strength: 50 Agility: 5 Intelligence: 5 Stamina: 5 Mana: 5 Bonus Points: 125 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio, who was looking at the status window, smiled as if he was satisfied. Although there were a lot of people in the party, the level of the monsters we hunted was much higher than that of Dio. ¡®Thanks to you, I was able to raise level 7 for free.¡¯ On the order board, it is important to invest points according to your character class and job skills. After checking the level and bonus points, Dio remembered something more important. ¡®It¡¯s a trait I received as a reward for killing a Death Knight, so it¡¯s definitely a good thing.¡¯ Dio, who thought he should raise the level points accordingly after checking the characteristics and skill window, opened the skill window without touching the level points yet. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Skill: Pledge of Liberation Lv.1 Effect: Creates an oath of liberation with one designated target. If the target responds to the oath, the caster¡¯s stamina is consumed and all status abnormalities on the target are neutralized. However, the amount of stamina consumed varies depending on the status of the designated target. After that, the target becomes dependent on the caster. 10% of the caster¡¯s stats are lost each time a contract is made. Current Contractor: [0/1] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Skill Name: Slash. Swing the sword to inflict damage to enemies in front. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°An oath?¡± Dio muttered as he looked at ¡®Pledge of Liberation¡¯, one of the new skills. ¡®It¡¯s safe to say that neutralizing a status abnormality is an act of treatment, right? It seems that you can subjugate the opponent in exchange for treatment¡­¡¯ I don¡¯t know what connection there is between the forgotten swordsman and the skill with the characteristic ¡®oath¡¯. It is difficult to understand why something is said to be liberation but becomes subordinate to the object. However, a contract with another person creates an oath that cannot be broken. Dio knew very well that this was a powerful ability in itself. ¡®There are no restrictions on the target. If only I could subordinate an opponent who was much stronger than me¡­¡¯ Dio racked his brain as he thought of a way to maximize the efficiency of his skills. However, if you look at the conditions and penalties, it is not an issue that you can easily think about and decide. First, you must ask the contractor for permission to enter into a contract. However, there was no way that an opponent stronger than the caster Dio would bow down so easily. ¡®But it¡¯s a bit weird to sign a contract with someone who is too weak¡­¡¯ That would be like throwing away skills. There is only one person who can contract, and if you make a mistake, you end up adding unnecessary burden. However, I am concerned about the penalty of losing 10% of my stats when I try to find a contract that matches my level. When you lose stamina, you can recover it with potions. However, restoring your stats is a waste of time, no matter how difficult it is. ¡®It has several limitations, but it¡¯s still a good enough skill. Besides¡­there¡¯s no rule that says it can only be used on people.¡¯ After thinking about how it could be used like a taming skill, Dio shifted his attention to the second skill. ¡°The skill name is ¡®Slash¡¯¡­¡± Dio¡¯s expression crumpled as he checked the second skill again. The Oath of Liberation can definitely be a good skill if you find the right target and use it carefully. However, no matter how much I think about it, the second skill seems to have a lot of problems. Even if you look at it positively, it is nothing more than a slightly strong basic attack skill. Dio was just disappointed by that fact. He was disappointed for a moment. Suddenly, the red energy of the Death Knight contained within Dio¡¯s body fluctuated and a change occurred. Hwaak- [Skill changes appropriately depending on the player¡¯s condition.] ¡°What?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 13 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 13Episode 13 Dio blinked and tried to understand the contents of the system message. ¡®The skills are changing? ¡®In what way?¡¯ When Dio asked a question, red energy began to emanate from his body as if responding. An energy that seems to burn everything it touches. The energy began to surround the system where the ¡®Slash¡¯ skill was written. And finally it covered the entire system. [The power of the forgotten swordsman recognizes the seal of [Fire].] [Skill ¡®Slash¡¯ is integrated and changed.] [Change¡­.] [Change is complete.] A fiery red energy appears in an instant. The skill description that disappeared and reappeared in Dio¡¯s eyes had completely changed. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Forgotten Swordsmanship Chosik [Fire] Chosik with the power of [Fire].

[???] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Why is the class ¡® It was the moment I realized that it said ¡®growth type¡¯. ¡®The power I received from the Death Knight affected my skills. ¡®Does this mean we can grow it this way?¡¯ Putting aside the unchanging oath of liberation, Dio thought about the forgotten conditions for the evolution of swordsmanship once again in detail. ¡®It would be a priority to raise the skill level first.¡¯ Other conditions except for the fourth condition, which is marked with a question mark and cannot be known. Those were issues that could be resolved if Dio worked diligently. The second condition is a condition that can only be opened if you increase your skill level first. The third condition, ¡®Essence of Flame¡¯, is an item that can be obtained with a very low probability by killing a fire attribute monster. However, the items obtained for smelting and production still exist in the warehouse of ¡®Big City Rivernos¡¯. ¡®Even though it is a warehouse far from Evra Village¡­¡¯ Still, it was fortunate for Dio that there was no need to obtain a new one. ¡®As it is a growth class, you must move for ¡®growth¡¯.¡¯ Dio realized what he had to do to become stronger with the ¡®Forgotten Swordsman¡¯ class. And with that in mind, I started thinking about my future plans. First, Dio calculated the most appropriate stat distribution for the one and only skill. ¡®I don¡¯t know how the skill evolves. If you simply assume the ¡®cut¡¯ of the warrior skill¡­¡¯ The calculation didn¡¯t take that long. ¡°good.¡± Dio completed the distribution in an instant and then reviewed the status window. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Status Window] : 35 : Forgotten Swordsman (Growth Type) ¨C General Strength: 85 S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dexterity: 50 Intelligence: 5 Stamina: 50 Mana: 5 Bonus Points: 0 HP: 380 MP: 225 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C I invested too much power. However, considering Dio¡¯s current situation and class characteristics, it could be seen as the optimal choice. The skill is also a ¡®swordsmanship¡¯ that does not consume MP. Like the martial arts of martial arts, the ¡®swordsmanship¡¯ of Order Board can be learned step by step once the player has mastered it. We don¡¯t know in what direction the forgotten swordsmanship will grow in the future. However, basic stamina and strength were essential to immediately increase proficiency. ¡®Let¡¯s see, I¡¯m level 35 now¡­¡¯ Dio¡¯s head started to spin quickly. There is only one week left until the monster wave. In fact, if the average user is the standard, the situation is still close to hopeless. It was still a long way from reaching level 100, the appropriate level for the ¡®waves¡¯ of Evra Village, and there was no way around here that a level 30 user could hunt. But Dio had a relaxed expression. Once the level started to rise, there were endless ways for D.O. ¡®The warehouse is not in shape.¡¯ Dio, who remembered the items in the warehouse, grinned and started walking. The minimum level Dio had to reach before the wave started was 50. Regardless of his peace of mind, Dio had no time to waste. * * * The lowest level monsters around Evra Village are generally around level 80. And among them, the monster that Dio can catch now is¡­ -Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! It was only a reptilian monster with huge armor named ¡®Armored Turtle¡¯. thud-! With an animal roar, a huge turtle carrying a sharp iron shell fell down. [Armored Turtle/Normal Monster/Lv.83] [Armored Turtle defeated.] [3015 experience points obtained.] Dio, breathing heavily in front of the fallen Armored Turtle, cleared away the flying dust and appeared. ¡°Haha haha is this the 3rd one?¡± The Armored Turtle is twice as big as a human and is characterized by strong physical strength and defense. Instead, the speed is extremely slow. So, if you exploit its weaknesses, it was a monster that Dio could hunt without getting hit even once. That means it takes a lot of effort and time to hunt one. The good news was that Dio was a hard worker. ¡®Still, it can be said to be the optimal environment to increase skill proficiency.¡¯ I invested a lot of strength stats in consideration of the Armored Turtle, but even so, Dio could not easily defeat the Armored Turtle with his attack power. In addition, the basic slash of the skill Herbivorous [Fire] was proportional to Dio¡¯s poor attack power, so it was a skill that was a disaster. However, D.O. had already reached the point where he enjoyed hard work. He swung simple ¡®cuts¡¯ hundreds of times to increase his skill proficiency. [Proficiency 2.4/100] That was the reason why each animal was able to increase its skill proficiency by as much as 0.8 points. ¡°eww. Still, I can¡¯t help but feel frustrated. ¡°It would have been nice to have a ¡®Moonlight Longsword¡¯ in the warehouse.¡± Currently, Dio¡¯s weapons are all general grade weapons sold at basic stores. Unfortunately, there was still no equipment suitable for Dio¡¯s level in the warehouse. ¡°Unfortunately, I have no choice but to hunt. ¡°You can¡¯t fight with your bare hands, right?¡± Dio, aware of his situation, complained. Anyway, Dio was at the stage of increasing his understanding of the class by hunting Armored Turtles. Dio was first focusing on ¡®swordsmanship¡¯ and was testing various types of swords. Monsters that are already at different levels. As I hunted them, the durability of my weapons depleted even faster, and I ended up breaking several of them. ¡®As expected, a one-handed sword is not suitable in many ways. Due to the nature of the skill, a great sword would be suitable.¡¯ Dio threw the broken sword on the floor and opened his inventory. ¡°It won¡¯t be easy.¡± Dio took out a new supply greatsword, muttered to himself, and began searching for the target again. ¡®Before the monster wave begins, the skill proficiency must be set to 100.¡¯ D.O. always pursues the highest efficiency even in extreme hunting environments. Hunting will speed up more and more. Every time you catch an Armored Turtle, your experience points steadily increase. Dio walked towards his next prey, dragging his huge greatsword. * * * A week passed and the monster wave arrived. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Status Window] : 50 : Forgotten Swordsman Strength: 160 Dexterity: 50 Intelligence: 5 Stamina: 50 Mana: 5 Bonus Points: 0 HP: 470 MP: 315 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®I somehow managed to raise it to level 50.¡¯ Dio checked the status window and looked around. There is currently 1 hour left until the monster wave. The guards and mercenaries between the fences surrounding Evra Village were fully prepared at their designated locations. -The villagers who were working on the iron equipment didn¡¯t seem particularly nervous. This may be because they are veterans who have experienced countless monster waves called waves. [Local Quest: Stop the monster wave!] Help the villagers stop the monster wave! [Time Remaining: 00:05:28] With about 5 minutes remaining, the ground began to shake. Kugugugugu ¨C It was a sunny day, but dark clouds quickly covered the sky. As the omen that signaled the beginning of something decorated the stage, the cries of monsters rang out along with it. -Crukkruk¡­ -Uuuuung! Various monsters living around Evra Village appeared in waves. They each began to form a line as if they had made an appointment. As the area near the village has a forest topography, most of the monster wave¡¯s constituents had insect-type properties. From the level 107 giant wasp ¡®Killer Bee¡¯ swarm to the level 128 mantis ¡®Bug Reaper¡¯. The sight of the hideous insects growing into gigantic figures still had a visual that gave me goosebumps. Of course, not only insect-type monsters appeared. -Uji string. Kkwajijijik! A golem appeared as it approached, knocking down a tree. The Armored Turtle also immediately crawled out of the ground. -Awww! Even the werewolves that put the D-class mercenaries in danger. The group of monsters forming a line, drooling, resembled an army of ordinary humans. ¡®It¡¯s just the beginning.¡¯ Dio stood up and looked at the monsters that were gathering fiercely. Monster Wave is a system designed to adapt to players. But Dio knows how to go beyond adaptation and maximize the benefits. Aka how to suck honey from a monster wave. ¡®The villagers don¡¯t need help. Anyway, the village¡¯s power is set to sufficiently withstand the wave.¡¯ When a quest begins, a dedicated quest area is displayed next to the villagers placed in each area. There, helping the villagers and hunting monsters is the norm. However, everyone in the village knows that even if the player does not help the villagers, he will stop them on his own. [Help the villagers to stop the monster wave!] ¡®You should focus on the last sentence, not the first sentence.¡¯ It¡¯s not about helping the villagers. They are members of Evra Village, a level 100 village. You can survive on your own. So, just as the saying goes that you only have to go to Seoul to go to Moro, literally all you have to do is stop the monster wave. The important thing here is that even if the player stays still, the monster wave is easily blocked. Of course, if nothing is done, the player will gain nothing from the wave. The intention of the system is to hunt only in designated areas. And the experience points and monster by-products obtained there become the player¡¯s basic funds. However, what Dio wants is not that much compensation. I want a bigger reward than what the system recommends. There is a fixed answer for that. You can ignore ¡®Help the villagers¡¯ and just leave the area and wander around yourself. [The monster wave will soon begin targeting Evra Village.] [Remaining time: 00:00:10] As the countdown to announce the start of the wave began, Dio, who had adjusted his mask, flapped his cape. Dio, fully prepared, smiled and opened his mouth. ¡°Shall we begin now?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 14 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 14Episode 14 ¨C Boom ¨C Bang ¨C The drums of battle echo throughout Evra Village. The earth rang loudly as the monsters surrounding the village charged towards the defense line. Monsters came from all directions. In particular, they flocked towards the village entrance. The reason why monsters flock to the village entrance, which is obviously the most sturdy, is not because they are stupid. Rather, it was because the Evra village troops had opened the village gate to lure them out. At the guard post outside the fence, guards armed with iron armor took aim at the approaching monsters. Monsters come in like waves. However, the archers guarding their positions were waiting for the commander¡¯s instructions without any hesitation. ¡°atmosphere!¡± The guards camped outside the village rather than inside it are not just soldiers. The Guard is a military organization. They undergo intensive training to maintain security and prevent external threats. In particular, the guards of the base village that are targeted by the wave. They are estimated to have much higher military power than ordinary soldiers. That way, you can stop the monster waves that keep happening. ¡°launch!¡± The guard captain gave a signal to the monsters that were right in front of him, and the archers fired their iron-clad bows all at once. Kagagak ¨C Despite the powerful firepower of the Ironclad Palace, the monsters that were coming in large numbers could not be stopped, but the guard captain sent a signal again as if it was natural. ¡°Shield soldier!¡± The shield soldiers on the front lines faced the approaching monsters with huge shields. Kwakwak! Ujikkeun! Unable to overcome their speed, the monsters in front of the shield began to crush each other to death. Those who were lucky enough to survive were dealt with by the spearmen placed among the shield soldiers. -Kerreuk ¡°What?¡± Shields were erected tightly to stop the advance of monsters. However, the monsters that came through an unexpected gap began to run rampant. ¡°this! ¡°The third line is breached!¡± ¡°Shut it up!¡± ¡°spearman! Stay in line! we¡­!¡± The guard captain raised his sword and immediately tried to support the scattered ranks. Suddenly! At that moment, the person who cut off the monster¡¯s head appeared before him. ¡°Are you all?¡± A mysterious Class A mercenary who recently appeared in Evra Village. It was a common rumor that a mercenary wearing a white mask had helped the Luna Church to defeat the monster. D.O. was measuring the timing as to when to intervene. Dio left behind the guards who asked for his identity and swung his great sword once again. There is no need to explain it to them. Because they have already proven through their actions that they are their allies. Took! The clunky but heavy sword strike trampled on the shield soldier and cut down the monsters trying to climb up in one go. The front line was strengthened again by Dio¡¯s intervention. The most dangerous moment of the monster wave was the first advance. Now that the advance of threatening monsters has been completely suppressed with shield soldiers, indiscriminate hunting will continue. In Dio¡¯s field of vision, he sees the guard commander shouting a signal to the rider. ¡°Wipe them all out!¡± -Waaaa! Tung-! The shield soldiers all bounced off their shields, pushing away the monsters all at once and landing their swords. And the guards¡¯ counterattack follows. Suddenly! Deep! The battle began with the monsters being pushed away at once. Dio also stood still for a moment when he saw the guard captain running towards him just as he was about to fight with them. ¡°Thank you for your help. Are you the famous A-level mercenary Monte?¡± ¡°I just hold one hand.¡± Dio simply answered his words and lifted the great sword to his shoulder. The guard captain felt that the mercenary with his face covered was somehow familiar, but he had no time to worry about that right now. ¡°This place is dangerous, so the rule is to block it with just our guards¡­¡± As the guard captain said, the entrance where you face the monster wave head-on was a dangerous place for the player. The system never assigns an entrance to the player dealing with the monster wave. Originally, the player would have been pulled out to the rear, saying it was dangerous. However, the guard commander, who saw Dio demonstrating his ability by intervening at the right moment, nodded. ¡°Then please do me a favor. ¡°Our elite will assist you, Monte.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°It is an honour.¡± It¡¯s all according to plan. Now you can officially take control of the important stage and take action. Moreover, there is no need to die if the elite soldiers of Evra Village help you. Now all Dio has to do is the ¡®last hit¡¯. The reason Dio appeared and cut down monsters with a single sword was not because his attack power was so great. Dio¡¯s level is 50. No matter how good he is at level 50, it is impossible to cut down a monster with a single blow. However, for Dio, there is an item in the warehouse that makes the impossible possible. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Great Sword of Crushing] Grade: Unique Classification: Two-handed weapon Level limit: 60 Required strength: 110 Attack power: 70 Special effect: Target¡¯s health, excluding boss monsters, is 10 100% additional damage when below %. [Aurora Pendant] Grade: Unique Category: Necklace Level limit: 50 Special effect: Lowers the level limit of other equipment items by 10. [Lens of Confidence (Health)] Grade: Magic Category: Lens Level Limit: 50 Special Effect: The health value of monsters below the seed grade is displayed. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio, who has a max-level character, not only has the highest level equipment in his warehouse. Rather, old characters like Dio have many items needed to develop many characters. Equipment called so-called training items. Among them, Dio selected the ¡®Great Sword of Crushing¡¯. This equipment had a high grade and had the characteristic of having the strongest attack power among two-handed weapons of the same level. Dio¡¯s level is 50, but the level limit for the Great Sword of Crushing is 60. However, through the ¡®Aurora Pendant¡¯, which lowers the equipment limit level, you can now wear a higher level weapon. ¡®Thanks to you, I¡¯ve reached a level where I can inflict damage to monsters in Evra Village.¡¯ He clearly has the highest level of attack power in the level 50 range. However, it is still not possible to defeat the Evra village monsters like chopping radishes. So what you need is a ¡®Lens of Confidence¡¯ that allows you to see the physical strength of monsters. This was the key item that allowed you to gain extreme benefits in the monster wave. ¡®As expected, the one who ate me is the last one.¡¯ Unlike the Forgotten Temple mission, the ¡®party¡¯ system with allies is not applied in Monster Wave. In other words, it was a structure in which the player could only receive experience points by directly executing monsters. Dio¡¯s plan was for the guards, who had tremendous combat power, to select only the monsters with low stamina and finish them off. ¡®It¡¯s time to go on the rampage!¡¯ This is why they entered the war only after stopping the advance of the monsters, rather than from the beginning. What if you look broadly and use the lens of confidence? For Dio, finding a monster that could be killed in one hit was a piece of cake. Sigh-! -Keeeeee! Dio¡¯s great sword suddenly popped out between the guards and pierced the Bug Reaper¡¯s chest in one go. ¡°Are you going to stab me with that big of a sword?¡± ¡°Is the rumored Class A mercenary the author?¡± The guards quickly recognized Dio¡¯s presence. At the same time, I couldn¡¯t hide my surprise as he cut down monsters with incredible inaction. ¡°Ugh!¡± A situation where one soldier is unable to come to his senses due to three werewolves going berserk. Dio was not going to miss that moment. ¡®A werewolf is perfect as a purifying plant.¡¯ Boom-! Dio¡¯s high-flying ¡®slash¡¯ took the werewolf¡¯s life in an instant. [The werewolf was defeated.] [3620 experience points were obtained.] [The level increased.] ¡°Thank you¡­ Ugh?¡± The soldier who received help expressed his gratitude. However, Dio, who had no time to receive greetings, immediately dragged the soldier by the collar and threw him to the floor. Poseok-! Dio jumps over the falling werewolf and strikes away Killer Bee¡¯s body where the arrow was stuck. Killer Bee, who was already injured, was unable to withstand Dio¡¯s heavy greatsword and his entire body was crushed. [Killer Bee was defeated.] [3218 experience points¡­] Dio moved the system message window to the side. It was obvious that if I left it alone, it would ring all day during this monster wave. ¡°This is the commander¡¯s order! ¡°We will expand our position around Monte!¡± ¡°Wow!¡± One of the elite soldiers assigned by the guard commander raised his flag and shouted, and the soldiers cheered. Whether they misunderstood Dio¡¯s strength or not, Dio only moved with thoroughly calculated thoughts. While searching for his next prey, Dio came across a very tasty(?) target in his field of vision. ¡®Bug Reaper¡¯ and ¡®Giant Locust¡¯ entangled in an intense battle. Dio, who discovered the guards being pushed back by the huge mantis and grasshopper monsters, kicked the ground. ¡®The target is five. All remaining health is below 10%.¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes quickly scanned the status of the insect monsters and he grabbed his great sword with all his might. ¡°Everyone get back!¡± At Dio¡¯s shout, the guards fighting the insects quickly retreated. After securing space, Dio swung his great sword sharply at the monsters standing side by side. Taboo tauk ¨C exactly 4 ticks. One monster per tick touched Dio¡¯s great sword of crushing. However, unlike the first time, the attack was too shallow. The monsters were still alive and well, and the mercenaries who were watching them also had suspicious expressions. ¡°The attack was too shallow!¡± ¡°It¡¯s dangerous!¡± The guards warn Dio of danger. However, Dio jumped into the crowd of monsters without a moment of hesitation. ¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡± ¡°We need to rescue them!¡± -Keeeeeeek! Despite the mercenaries¡¯ horrified cries, Dio easily dodged the Bug Reaper¡¯s sharp hand blade. And then he dug into the crowd of monsters and thrust his great sword in. The monster he was targeting was Killer Bee, which was smaller than the others. Dio smiled as he took a picture of the body of Killer Bee, who had lost his wings and was stuck in the crowd. ¡®5 ticks.¡¯ Quang! With a huge explosion, the monsters that touched Dio¡¯s sword were all caught up in the explosion. -Horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! [Your level has increased.] [Your level has increased.] ¡°It¡¯s magic?¡± ¡°Demon swordsman? ¡°The rumor that you received the Imperial Medal was true!¡± Dio calmly walks out of the burning flames using the monster¡¯s corpses as firewood. People who saw that were astonished. ¡°after-.¡± Dio smiled to himself as he lightly blew on the embers on his cloak to extinguish them. The reason he visited a place where insect-type monsters were concentrated was because of the new ability of the skill ¡®Slash¡¯. * * * ¡°I barely got it right.¡± One day before the monster wave starts. Dio was finally able to achieve 100 proficiency in the cutting skill against the Armored Turtle, who had no idea how many he had killed. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Proficiency level 100 achievement condition 1 released] [Width] ¨C Opening completed! (NEW) MP consumption: 100 After using the skill, a mark is left equal to the number of successful attacks. The user can activate additional skills in conjunction with cutting. Activating skill width explodes the most recently marked mark (maximum 5) Damage 150% fire damage per mark Special effect: 50% knockback per mark ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª First The skill ¡®Slash¡¯ that fulfilled the conditions is completely different from before. Slash, which simply had a cooldown time, has evolved into a stack-type skill with the attribute of ¡®fire¡¯. I can¡¯t say it¡¯s an incredibly good skill, but the fact that it has a fire attribute coefficient is useful in many ways. Dio knew that there were many monsters in the monster wave whose weakness was fire. He immediately figured out how to use the newly opened skill. The stack is not just stacked on one target. We have already confirmed with the Armored Turtle that if you use ¡®width¡¯ to create a series of explosions, its strength doubles. The problem is that the ¡®wide area¡¯ damage, which is both the advantage and disadvantage of ¡®width¡¯, also applies to the caster. ¡°I have to stop by the warehouse.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 15 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 15episode 15, the equipment hidden behind Dio¡¯s cloak was no longer the beginner¡¯s set worn at level 10. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Salamander¡¯s Light Armor] Grade: Unique Category: Armor Level limit: 60 Defense: 58 2nd set effect: Fire attribute resistance 10 4th set effect: Fire attribute resistance 30 6 Set effect: Fire attribute resistance 150 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª A truly unique set of armor. If used appropriately for the situation in which it was stored in the warehouse, it was a training item with greater efficiency than most high-level equipment. When I looked at each part rather than the set, it wasn¡¯t so outstanding that I wondered if it deserved a unique rating. ¡®But if you wear the whole set, it¡¯s a different story.¡¯ Currently, Dio was wearing all the equipment for each part. Due to that effect, the fire attribute resistance had increased by 150. In other words, Dio has gained a level of resistance that prevents him from taking any damage from his ¡®Bow¡¯ skill. Pubububung! Kwaang-! Dio ran wild across the field and ran wild to his heart¡¯s content. The place he passed was filled with dense monsters burning fiercely. ¡°An oversized monster invades the central square!¡± Someone shouted among the guards who were closely enthralled by Dio¡¯s performance. -Coooooo! ¡°Ugh!¡± ¡°It¡¯s charging!¡± A huge bear breaks down the wall and breaks into the village. It was an instant before the mercenaries, not the guards, found themselves in a standoff with the huge monster. [Guillotine Bear/Named Monster/Lv.150] Guillotine Bear. Commonly known as ¡®guillotine¡¯. It has the appearance of a grizzly bear, but has a larger belly. This guy was showing ferocity in tearing even the monsters that were in his way to pieces. Monster waves also contain a small number of particularly dangerous entities. Since they are ¡®named monsters¡¯ of a higher rank than regular monsters, they are something players should avoid at all costs. Therefore, in the case of Evra Village, the guard captain and his elites generally have no choice but to deal with it. But now he is here. A class A mercenary recognized by the empire. ¡°Make a way! ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to Monte!¡± The guards gave Dio a way back to the village and quickly set the stage for him. ¡°This kind of private meeting is not recommended.¡± Dio chuckled and stepped forward. Although he said this, he was planning to deal with strong monsters, including Guillotine, with his own hands. Because the stronger you are, the more you can gain. -Coooooo! The mercenaries and the villagers confront the monsters that have entered the village, centered on the guillotine. Seeing that, Dio increased his speed even more. ¡°Everyone get out of the way!¡± At Dio¡¯s shout, the mercenaries who were fighting the guillotine fled in haste. Guillotine did not chase after the fleeing mercenaries, but raised both arms high against Dio, who fearlessly charged at him. bang! As the name suggests, it¡¯s a claw that hits hard like a guillotine. ¡®It¡¯s obvious.¡¯ Kwaang-! Dio, who easily dodged the guillotine¡¯s attack, walked around the guy and lightly patted his back. -Coooooo! Dio¡¯s movements are much smoother and faster than the first time. This was because Dio, who had already assumed a confrontation with Guillotine, invested in agility using the level points he had raised through the melee. This is crazy multitasking that only a few people can do. However, unlike other monsters, Guillotine, which is full of health, is difficult to inflict damage with ¡®width¡¯. Moreover, its thick leather was resistant to most explosions. However, Dio has already calculated how to ¡®use¡¯ him. There is also a pattern to the attacks of guillotines that are wielded at random. Dio, who knew this, dodged everything and lured the guy, it was a truly amazing move. Sigh-! Suddenly! Dio moved through the monsters while maintaining the exact distance to provoke the guillotine. Guillotine chased after Dio, tearing apart the monsters that got in his way. Monsters who were on the verge of death due to the blind paws of a powerful guillotine. Of course, Dio completed them without missing a single one. It seemed as if Dio and the guillotine chasing him worked together to fight the monsters. Although Guillotine is stronger than other monsters, it is not a boss monster. A counterattack by monsters that are not immune to the guillotine¡¯s attack without identification. Wounds big and small were accumulating on Guillotine. ¡®Shall we try to figure out the timing?¡¯ Dio looked at Guillotine, who looked exhausted, and widened his vision again. Dio found a place where monsters were concentrated and made a mark on the floor. He then took out an oil bottle from his inventory and threw it at the charging Guillotine. Clink! -Queez! Guillotine, whose entire body was soaked in oil, paused for a moment. ¡°bye.¡± ¡°Chur?¡± Dio said goodbye and used his remaining MP to activate [Explosion]. bang! Bubble bubbung-! The mark placed on the floor and the mark accumulated on Guillotine¡¯s body in advance exploded in an instant, and the guy soared into the sky. A biological bomb using the special effect knockback attached to [Width]. The guillotine, whose entire body was engulfed in flames, became a single cannonball and fell among the crowd of monsters. And then a series of explosions follows. Quagwagwagwang! [The Guillotine Bear was defeated.] [60112 experience points were obtained.] [The Werewolf was defeated.] [The Bug Reaper was defeated.] . . [The level has risen.] [The level has risen.] ¡°Explosions are art!¡± -Waaaa! The guards who were victorious at D.O.¡¯s spectacular finale let out a roar. The monsters that survived also gradually began to retreat. This is not Dio who will just watch the fleeing monsters. Dio hunts down the defeated monsters until the end with the intention of pulling him out until the end. It was the moment when ¡®Monster Hunter¡¯ was born in Evra Village. * * * Rumbling ¨C Rumbling ¨C Inside the shaking carriage. Dio, who was lying down using the luggage in the carriage as a pillow, looked at the private house in Evra village that he was leaving. Just yesterday, there were signs that the village had been damaged by monsters. However, now the village has been restored so perfectly that no traces can be found. The carriage Dio was riding stopped in front of the entrance for a moment. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Monster Hunter Monte?¡± The security guard inspecting the carriage for inspection began to act like he knew Dio when he saw him. ¡°I heard from the captain that you were going to River North. It was an honor to be with you. We look forward to seeing you again!¡± Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There was no one here who didn¡¯t know Dio, as he went around the village slaughtering monsters. Dio, embarrassed by the excessive language, nodded lightly. The guard smiled kindly and let Dio pass. [You have entered Paramont Plain.] A system message appeared showing that the carriage was moving again and leaving Evra Village. Everything that could be done in Evra Village was completely completed. ¡®It seems like only yesterday that I had no idea how to survive as a level 10 warehouse character¡­¡¯ Before I knew it, Dio¡¯s level had surpassed 80. After quickly putting out the fire, my anxious mind felt much more at ease. Dio¡¯s next move after completing his Evra work was a journey to gain the ¡®strength¡¯ to live as he had initially promised. Dio¡¯s initial goal was to survive in an unfamiliar world. It was perhaps simple and natural that the steps taken for that purpose were determined by one¡¯s own growth and strength. ¡®It¡¯s natural to raise your level to become stronger.¡¯ That¡¯s why Dio¡¯s plan includes a process for raising the level. It was established based on the results of analyzing a class called ¡®forgotten prosecutor¡¯. The forgotten swordsman¡¯s skills intuitively pointed to a path to becoming stronger through conditions. Naturally, D.O. decided that it would be best to move accordingly. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª 1. Achieve mastery level 100 2. [Width] Use 1000 times 133/1000 3. Acquire essence of flame 4. [???] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª A so-so skill at first glance. The forgotten swordsmanship I thought was a skill that wasn¡¯t as bad as I thought. You don¡¯t have to complete all of the conditions, just complete one prerequisite. As compensation, the skill itself changes to the point where it is completely different. ¡®Evolution.¡¯ It is not simply a change, but rather grows in line with the class setting of ¡®evolution type¡¯. The reason why I was able to perform better than expected in this monster wave. In it, the contribution of [Width], which was opened by completing skill condition number 1, accounted for a significant portion. I still don¡¯t know how to evolve the class itself. Therefore, Dio¡¯s first task was to evolve a forgotten sword technique that had clearly proven its performance. ¡°It is the essence of flame¡­¡± Inside the moving carriage, Dio was lost in thought, pondering the conditions. The Essence of Flame was a material item that came with an extremely high probability when catching a fire attribute monster. Because it was an item with a variety of uses, Dio once grabbed me and made me work hard. ¡®Flame Toad Red Slime Flame Bird Salamander¡­ ¡®I suppressed the fire attribute monsters in the field to the point where they were destroyed.¡¯ The Salamander set, a level 60 unique equipment, was also made at that time. I had absolutely no desire to go through the hardships of that time again. And the value of that effort is now intact in D.O.¡¯s warehouse. So Dio was on his way to the warehouse in ¡®Big City Rivernos¡¯ where he was collecting the essence of flame. ¡®What kind of equipment was there¡­¡¯ If you say level 100 on the order board, it is the standard for becoming explosively stronger due to set equipment with a level limit of 100. ¡®And there were a lot of that set items in River North.¡¯ Additionally, due to the effect of ¡®Aurora Pendant¡¯, you can wear level 100 equipment at level 90. Due to these training items with various set options, Rivernos was a city that Dio must pass through. Even if it wasn¡¯t because of the essence of flame. However, even if you are moving using the warehouse and skill requirements as a compass, you must not forget something important. ¡®Information of destination.¡¯ Considering that it is a carriage ride, it takes about 15 days to reach River North. Dio turned his head to the driver who was holding the reins. ¡°Let¡¯s ask a question.¡± ¡°Yes, all you ask.¡± The coachman must have been bored as well and immediately received Dio¡¯s words. ¡°Have you heard any news from the Empire these days?¡± ¡°You mean the Empire?¡± Did I ask too broadly? The driver, who was lost in thought for a moment about Dio¡¯s question, paused a little and opened his mouth. ¡°I heard that a band of bandits was causing an uprising in the west and that the 3rd Prince was conscripting the troops necessary to subdue it.¡± ¡°Is that recent?¡± ¡°Yes, I heard it probably ten days ago¡­.¡± If we were to name the best of the continent¡¯s current powers, we would naturally not leave out the Freudian Empire. If you later become connected to Prian, the 3rd prince of the empire, you can hear a story related to this. An incident commonly called the ¡®Yellow Turban Rebellion¡¯ among users. Dio could easily remember what the driver was talking about. ¡®Time flows around the main scenario in which the player can intervene.¡¯ Dio was able to guess the time period of his actions to some extent through the information provided by the coachman. ¡°Is there anything else going on? Even if it¡¯s something small, it¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°I guess you¡¯re looking for work? Come to think of it, I heard that the number of missing people in River North Village, where I am currently going, is increasing. I heard the lord is quite troubled¡­¡± ¡®It¡¯s the right time.¡¯ Dio, who was listening to the coachman¡¯s story, nodded and handed the coachman a silver coin in return. ¡°Oh my, what are you doing?¡± ¡°This is quite nutritious information. ¡°You have to pay a fair price.¡± ¡°As expected, you are a great mercenary, so you know exactly the value of information. Ah, something like this happened again recently¡­¡± The coachman started talking continuously, probably because he was excited about receiving the money, and Dio didn¡¯t bother to silence him. I roughly got the information I wanted, but the more information the better. Even if it is false information. * * * ¡°Can you please drop me off here?¡± ¡°yes? ¡°There is still a long way to go in River North.¡± The coachman, who had not yet crossed the vast Plains of Paramont, expressed doubts about Dio¡¯s request. ¡°yes. ¡°I was thinking of something to do nearby.¡± Dio said with a grin, tossing some silver coins to the driver. The coachman, who was aware of this, did not ask any further questions and just nodded. ¡°Oh, I¡¯ll get better. Stay healthy and I¡¯ll see you again when I get the chance.¡± ¡°Please take a look.¡± Dio saw the driver off and immediately took off his mask as the carriage disappeared into the distance. ¡°Phew, I thought I was going to die of frustration.¡± Since he needed to act as A-level mercenary Monte, it was not easy to wear a mask all the time. Originally, I had planned to take a carriage to River North, but I couldn¡¯t do that after hearing the information from the coachman. Because¡­ ¡®Thanks to you, I remembered the hidden piece hidden in the plains.¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 16 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 16Episode 16 ¡®There was a hidden slaver¡¯s cave in the Tyr Mountains across the plains.¡¯ The bandits operating out of this cave were famous for being quite vicious despite their small size. The main income of the bandits is the slave trade. These guys were also the reason why the number of missing people in River North was increasing. ¡®Maybe there are scenarios related to the main story?¡¯ Dio recalled the guys¡¯ whereabouts and pulled out the location and related quests from his memory. Fundamentally, slave traders are vicious in and of themselves. What about the groups that participate in this? They were villains who committed crimes without hesitation if it meant making money. Kidnapping and trafficking elderly women and even children¡­ These thieves are one of the most unreliable trash groups. High degree of realization of the order board. ¡®The thieves¡¯ crimes were so terrible that users even protested.¡¯ Especially in the prison under the cave¡­ When the memory came to mind, Dio unconsciously frowned. This was because it was a place that was at the edge of unpleasantness. Anyway, there is a key that can be obtained by defeating the leader of the bandits. A secret warehouse that can be opened using a key. There is an ¡®Elixir of Agility¡¯ that can only be used once per character. Unique grade elixirs have the effect of permanently increasing character stats. This means that it is an item with no harm in using it with any character. ¡®It is also called a substantive work.¡¯ Dio smiled as he recalled his past, where he once focused on substantive work in order to play the highly difficult order board. The Elixir of Agility you are about to obtain increases your Agility stat by 5 points. Even though it is not that high of a value, it is famous as one of the elixirs that is easy to obtain compared to its difficulty. ¡®It¡¯s not like I¡¯m lacking in agility right now, but¡­¡¯ However, for survival, it was better to gain everything, even if it was only a small gain. As mentioned earlier, the Paramont Bandits, named after the plains, are not a difficult enemy, just because their behavior is vicious. The average level of the thieves is 50. Dio, who is now over level 80, could handle this as easily as breathing. These are the guys whose location will eventually be discovered over time and someone will round them up. Therefore, in order to obtain the elixir, you had to find the cave before it was swept away. However, according to the information I heard from the coachman, it was confirmed that the bandits were still alive and well. In other words, the elixir of agility can be obtained now. Dio crossed the plain, tracing his memories. ¡®It wasn¡¯t a very deep and rough place because slaves had to be transported.¡¯ Dio leaves the plains, climbs the foot of the mountain, and begins to search for the whereabouts of the bandits. Although he did not possess exploration skills, it was an ability that could be easily covered by the memories and experiences of the deceased. Even though not much time had passed, Dio was able to find familiar terrain and immediately climbed to the cliff. ¡®bingo.¡¯ As we climbed up the cliff, we found a sky bridge installed by the bandits, as expected. As expected, Dio found three gatekeepers guarding the entrance not too far away. Dio approached close enough to clearly hear the gatekeepers¡¯ voices, stopped moving for a moment and listened. -Did you hear that? The slave traders said they were satisfied with this transaction and added additional compensation? -A Sippal. So, isn¡¯t that why we¡¯re cracking open the barrels starting during the day? What is this for us? The indignant voices of the three gatekeepers who were not allowed to join the drinking party reached Dio¡¯s ears. Dio¡¯s current location was at the bottom of a cliff, out of sight of the gatekeepers. It is not that difficult for Dio, who has invested heavily in his strength and agility stats related to his job, to climb the cliff. Dio decided to charge head-on without having to approach stealthily. widely-! Dio powerfully kicked up the cliff he was using as support and threw the noose he had taken out of his inventory. Whirik- ¡°This deal will replenish our supplies, right?¡± ¡°of course! ¡°When we change shifts, let¡¯s finish the remaining drinks!¡± ¡°good! good! I won¡¯t have any work for a while, so why not give it a try today? What is this¡­Quack!¡± sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. One of the gatekeepers fell off the cliff without even having time to react to the noose around his neck. -Aaaah! Dio bounced off the cliff as the thief screamed and fell. Suddenly! Dio flew up and landed on the bridge, cutting off the second gatekeeper¡¯s head. The two gatekeepers were caught in an instant. The last remaining gatekeeper was unable to respond in any way to the sudden intruder. ¡°thanks.¡± ¡°What!?¡± This is the line spoken by an uninvited guest after pushing away a thief whose head has been blown off and a fountain of blood is gushing out. The remaining gatekeepers were frightened and retreated. ¡°If it had been different from what I remembered, I might have hesitated.¡± ¡°Chi intruder!¡± The gatekeeper ran towards the bell that had been installed to signal the intrusion, but Dio¡¯s actions were ahead of him. Took! When Dio kicked the stone on the floor with all his might, the stone rushed towards the thief¡¯s head. Push! The thief who was hit directly by this was not even able to scream and died instantly. ¡°Should I have just let it ring?¡± Dio, who ended the situation in an instant, suddenly thought that it didn¡¯t matter if the alarm went off. ¡®No. You never know. ¡®There is a lot of need to be careful, even on temple days.¡¯ -tweet! Dio found a yellow bird trapped in a cage next to the entrance. When I look at the chirping birds, I feel pity. Dio simply opened the locked cage door and set the animal free. The bird, grateful to have regained its freedom, circled around Dio and eventually flew away. After watching the bird moving away for a moment, Dio refocused and walked forward. [You have entered the slave trader¡¯s hideout.] Dio entered the slave trader¡¯s hideout, overcoming the fallen thieves. Dio entering the cave seemed to have a glimpse of a murderous spirit behind him, but it was completely different. Because the targets he is trying to kill are monsters that can never be called humans. * * * -Khahaha! -Drink! The thieves who had taken up residence in the cave were chatting while drinking a lot of cheap wine, which had a terrible smell. ¡°Why did these strict slave traders pay me so generously?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a pretty useful guy among them?¡± When the bandits started talking about their dealings with slave traders, the leader of the bandits who was listening opened his mouth. ¡°What does it matter if you get caught? ¡°We just need money and more money.¡± ¡°you¡¯re right!¡± The thieves raise their glasses in excitement at the words of the leader. ¡°And don¡¯t worry. ¡°There are still things of real value left.¡± ¡°But will you stay still in River North this time? ¡°They will soon find us.¡± ¡°Haha! It takes a year to find our location on this vast plain. ¡°It was even worse than us. Would those greedy nobles spend their own money to find us?¡± ¡°As expected, you are the boss.¡± ¡°We will follow for the rest of our lives.¡± The boss seemed to be in a good mood after hearing the subordinate¡¯s bold words and drank alcohol in succession. ¡°Yes, I feel it! Let¡¯s have some fun today! ¡°Take out all the alcohol in the warehouse!¡± No sooner had the leader finished speaking than a large oak barrel rolled towards him. ¡°What kind of bastard dares give alcohol to the boss like that!?¡± No matter how drunk he was, one of the thieves next to the leader stood up and cursed harshly as the barrel of alcohol rolled over him. ¡°why? ¡°Are you still low on alcohol?¡± A strange man carrying a huge greatsword dripping with blood. As he looked down at everyone and opened his mouth, the thieves¡¯ den was suddenly filled with silence. ¡°what? ¡°Is this your first time seeing this face?¡± ¡°What did those on guard do?¡± The moment the thieves try to approach the man. The figure of a thief who had become a cold corpse was revealed in the rolled barrel. ¡°Hee hee!?¡± thud! The man slammed his greatsword on the floor and massaged his shoulders. As if he was warming up before starting the hunt. ¡°It¡¯s annoying, so let¡¯s finish it quickly.¡± It didn¡¯t take long for the thieves to understand the man¡¯s energy and what he meant. ¡°How long are you going to let that guy talk? ¡°Kill me now!¡± The thieves rush at the leader¡¯s shout. The ¡®Monster Hunter¡¯ who came over from Evra village was looking at them and snatched the handle of the great sword and lifted it with ease. The opponents are monsters disguised as humans. To him, it¡¯s just a very easy prey. * * * Looking at the group of thieves with their heads rolling around, Dio gathered his agitated mind. Unlike the game, seeing the pools of blood scattered about clearly gave me an uneasy feeling. ¡°Save me! what do you want? What is money! I just did what I was told! Damn it¡­ please help me!¡± The leader, whose arm was blown off, starts to fight, blocking the bleeding with his remaining arm. If Dio hadn¡¯t known their whereabouts, he might have ended it appropriately. but. ¡°Did you give them mercy when they begged like that?¡± ¡°Hey! ¡°Fuck!¡± Suddenly! Dio¡¯s sword splattered fresh blood and he looked around at the scene of the gruesome slaughter. I wondered if I could find any survivors still left. However, after listening to their story, it seemed like the deal ended recently. Dio was able to find several cold corpses on his way here. They were probably people who fell short of the trade items. Dio, who could only say a short moment of silence for them, searched the chest of the decapitated bandit leader and found the key. Step, step, step, Dio walked out of the puddle of blood he had created. Knock ¨C The sound of Dio¡¯s steps and the sound of water drops falling from the ceiling of the cave due to the steam echoed. ¡®Is this about it?¡¯ Dio started tapping here and there as if looking along the wall, and soon found a secret hollow place. bang-! Dio kicked the grooved area. Rumbling ¨C In response to this, the temporary wall slowly collapsed and a space appeared. It is the most valuable of all the thieves¡¯ collection. So, Dio, who found the treasure chest containing the elixir, was able to easily open it using the key. To be honest, you could have taken it by force even without the key, but then the elixir inside would not have been safe. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Elixir of Agility] Grade: Unique Classification: Potion Effect: When taken, agility stat increases by 5. Elixirs of the same level only have a one-time effect. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After finding the elixir, Dio opened the potion cap and drank it generously. Dio, having achieved his goal, takes the thieves¡¯ goods from the warehouse and is about to return the way he came. -Is there¡­ anyone¡­? A weak voice coming through the walls of the cave. Dio, who came to his senses after hearing the sound, searched for the source of the sound. ¡®Survivor? At this point, no one would be there¡­ah!¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 17 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 17episode 17 . A person that Dio, who did not want to recall the memories of the dungeon, could not think of. But to say she was a survivor¡­ Dio hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind. Anyway, once I heard the voice, I couldn¡¯t ignore it. Dio went straight through the treasure warehouse and found the stairs that lead to the underground passage. Rather than being underground, it is deeper than the bottom of a cave. There were hollow human shells and horrible things that appeared to be human hearts piled up here and there. ¡®It¡¯s still the same here.¡¯ If Dio had not had prior experience on the order board, he might have hesitated to go any further. ¡®No, is it worse than then?¡¯ Dio frowned as he watched the intensity of the horror increase as he moved forward. Torture devices with a terrible odor and traces of use. It¡¯s definitely different from what I felt in the game. An indescribably unpleasant sensation took over Dio¡¯s body. ¡®Even though I killed all the bandits, I still feel dirty.¡¯ Although Dio also slaughtered people mercilessly, the lives of innocent people and thieves cannot be compared. ¡®I wonder if I would judge the value of my subject¡¯s life.¡¯ Dio, who was laughing at his own thoughts, continued walking. And before long. I was able to get to the front of the room where I presumed that the owner of the plaintive voice was located. ¡°Phew-¡± Arriving in front of the room, Dio took a deep breath and opened the door with all his strength. Squeak ¨C A secret space hidden in the deepest part of the world. An underground prison, also known as the ¡®Jade of Consciousness¡¯. In the middle of this place, there was a circular magic circle drawn in blood. And in the center of it all, there was a silver-haired girl bound in chains, kneeling. Dio simply bent the iron bar blocking the girl and entered. I think it was around the time I was nineteen or twenty. She turned her golden eyes to look at Dio and opened her mouth in a dying voice. ¡°Kill me¡­ please.¡± ¡®Is it sepia as expected¡­¡¯ Her words were not asking for her life, but for her to kill her. Dio, who had already guessed it, grabbed the great sword that was tied to him with mixed eyes. * * * Sepia. An unfortunate flashback type extra character who was sold by a group of thieves to a warlock and sacrificed as a ritual sacrifice. Her older brother ¡®Sigmund¡¯ is angry at his sister¡¯s death. Afterwards, his awakening after leaving his post as Deputy Commander of River North is one of the events directly related to the main scenario. After awakening, Sigmund becomes the leader of the Inquisitors, known as the strongest swords of the Luna Church, within a few years. He did not hesitate to kill any warlock he could find and torture him directly. The anger and madness that comes out when judging a heretic. It was so intense that there was no one on the continent who did not know about it. Because of that, people called him ¡®Inquisitor of Execution¡¯ or ¡®Knight of Judgment¡¯. In relation to this, Dio recalled a time when he thought that Sigmund¡¯s story might change if Sepia was saved. -Do you think this will work? -If you save it, you might find a hidden piece. Of course, this thought was also the same for other deceased people. So people took action for this poor sepia. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After trial and error, I was able to successfully reach the thieves¡¯ den in the time period before Sepia died through speedrunning. However, no matter how hard they tried, it was impossible to save Sepia, who was already under the warlock¡¯s spell. The ¡®Stigma of Death¡¯ hanging in sepia grinds away the vitality of the subject and slowly drives them to death. Neither healing magic with powerful holy power nor legendary elixir could prevent Sepia¡¯s death. -Hey, this won¡¯t work;; -I think the settings say that you will die unconditionally? In the end, players, including Dio, were frustrated. And it was concluded that Sephia¡¯s death and Sigmund¡¯s awakening were fixed values that could not be changed. Moreover, Sephia seemed to know it herself. That this continued pain is eternal pain. That there is only one way to end eternity. This is why Dio hesitated even after learning that Sepia was locked in the dungeon. Because it was natural that he would encounter Sephia, who would ask him to kill her. Dio could not hide his bitter feelings when he once again experienced the pity he felt for Sephia. A girl who is in complete disrepair and earnestly begging to be killed. Facing it in real life, not in a game¡­ ¡®Whoa¡­¡¯ It couldn¡¯t be anything other than hard work. ¡°Please kill me¡­.¡± ¡°Please.¡± Sephia hopes to stop this eternal pain through the haven of death. Dio looks silently into her earnest eyes. Clap ¨C Dio naturally rolled up his sword and held it. If it were a game, I would have swung my sword at Sepia without hesitation. But Dio hesitated. Why? In fact, if he made a little sacrifice of his own¡­ Unlike when he played the game in the past, now he clearly knew how to save her. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Skill: Pledge of Liberation Lv.1 Effect: Creates an oath of liberation with one designated target. If the target responds to the oath, the caster¡¯s stamina is consumed and all status abnormalities on the target are neutralized. However, the amount of stamina consumed varies depending on the status of the designated target. After that, the target becomes dependent on the caster. 10% of the caster¡¯s stats are lost each time a contract is made. Current Contractor: [0/1] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª A curse of weakness that not even the highest recovery magic or the best elixir could cure. But the oath of liberation has the power to offset it. The reason Dio was confident was simple. [All status abnormalities on the target are neutralized.] Because there were no exceptions in this sentence. ¡®The order board system is absolute.¡¯ So, Dio¡¯s hesitation right now¡­ could really be said to be a concern about whether it would be okay to use this skill on Sepia. ¡®It¡¯s a shame that my stats are lowered, but actually that¡¯s not the problem.¡¯ 10% of total stats is definitely a huge figure. However, the only thing that can be achieved is the ¡®perfect side of me¡¯ defined by the system. This is an area that cannot be converted into value. This is especially true for Dio, who is left alone in this world that has now become reality. So, the point where Dio hesitated was¡­ whether it was right to use this one-time opportunity to create ¡®my perfect side¡¯ to Sephia. ¡®Sephia certainly has a background that will be of great help, but¡­¡¯ If the recipient of the contract is a person with recognized strength, it will be very helpful from Dio¡¯s perspective. However, the target that Dio would use the skill on right now was Sepia, who looked fragile and whose potential was unknown even just by looking at it. If you just think about the NPCs that come to Dio¡¯s mind, there will be a lot of better options than Sepia. But why choose sepia here? Isn¡¯t that an action that goes against my struggle for survival? ¡­. Something is strange. What am I thinking now? At that moment, Dio shuddered with indescribable disgust. Who feels this disgust? The answer is at hand. From himself and from none other than the human being ¡®Kim Jun-woo¡¯. A person is dying painfully before my eyes, and I know a way to save that person¡­ But Dio¡¯s thinking has stopped. He seemed to have realized something and lowered his posture to be at eye level with Sepia, who was panting. And his words uttered: ¡°I am not a monster.¡± ¡°¡­?¡± Was it because he was delirious from the pain? Sepia couldn¡¯t understand Dio¡¯s answer to her request. But even a sane sepia would not understand what he said. Because the words I just uttered were the answer given to Dio himself. Maybe there will come a day when you regret your choice today. However, what he is about to do now is a challenge and an action to protect his beliefs. The belief that even if the game becomes a reality, we will not abandon our humanity even if it is only for the sake of survival. Since I had decided not to become a monster, further profit and loss calculations were meaningless. ¡°Choose.¡± Dio extended his hand towards Sepia. Salvation through the pledge of liberation is not something that can be resolved through Dio¡¯s pledge alone. His promise is the first step that gives Sepia a chance, and the choice is entirely hers. Dio, who made eye contact with Sepia, opened his mouth clearly. ¡°I can save you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°It means that the curse of death can be lifted.¡± The two black, dead sepia eyes began to shake for the first time. This man clearly just saw him for the first time. But I know about the ¡®curse¡¯. ¡®Can you really be freed from this curse?¡¯ However, Sephia was not willing to take the man¡¯s hand. This was because young Sepia realized faster than anyone else that there is no good intention in this world without a price. ¡°¡­.¡± But is that why? ¡°If you are willing to pay the price of becoming my slave rather than death to escape the pain¡­¡± The man¡¯s next words moved Sephia¡¯s heart. [The Oath of Liberation Lv1 was used.] [The target was designated as ] [The designated target correctly recognized the ¡®contract¡¯.] [If the designated target accepted the contract, the Oath of Liberation Lv1 [It continues.] In this case, the man¡¯s proposal was not a one-sided ¡®good faith¡¯ but a ¡®contract¡¯. ¡°Take this hand.¡± Intense red energy stretched out from Dio¡¯s hand. Sephia¡¯s mouth slowly opened as she felt Dio¡¯s mana fluctuating within her. ¡°I¡­¡± It may be a decision made hastily in a desperate situation. Who wouldn¡¯t hang on to a rotten rope at the edge of a cliff? But still, even if that man¡¯s hands were rotten ropes. It was a ray of light for Sepia, and it was enough to accept it as a savior¡¯s hand. Sepia made her decision and grabbed Dio¡¯s hand. He then nodded as if to indicate that he agreed to the contract. ¡°good.¡± Dio could clearly feel the sepia trembling in the hands they held together. Dio, who tried to ignore Sepia, who was afraid that his decision was really the right one, caught his breath. [The designated target has accepted the ¡®contract¡¯.] [Stamina is consumed depending on the status condition applied to the target.] [If the stamina required for consumption is insufficient, the contract may fail.] [Proceed to Oath of Liberation Lv1 . will you do it? (Y/N)] Dio nodded to the system¡¯s question. At that moment, the faint light from Dio¡¯s hand began to surround him and Sepia. Tiring-! [Hidden quest entry conditions have been met.] [Hidden quest ¡®Rescue Sepia¡¯ has been discovered.] ¡®Hidden quest?¡¯ Suddenly it¡¯s a hidden quest? I just used an oath against Sepia¡­! Dio could not hide his surprise at the discovery of an unexpected hidden quest. But he was surprised for a moment. Flash! Dio could not help but frown at the intense beam of light that suddenly erupted from the hand that was holding Sepia. ¡°Ugh!?¡± Then, Dio¡¯s vision began to erode into pitch-black darkness. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 18 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 18Episode 18 This place¡­ Are you opening your eyes now? Or are you closing your eyes? No matter how hard I open my eyes, all I see is darkness. Dio barely held on to his fading mind and struggled with his limbs. Then, as he was swimming desperately in the darkness, a small beam of light appeared in his vision. As the light grew bigger and bigger, Dio was able to recover his vision. ¡®what? Clearly, a hidden quest appeared and light exploded from his hand¡­¡¯ After the darkness cleared, the scene Dio looked down on was a battlefield. A rushing sandstorm. Among them, soldiers each wearing shiny platinum-colored and silver-blue armor. Those who faced them were not an army of humans, but an army of monsters of all kinds. ¡®Where do those armors belong? ¡®Is their opponent a demonic beast?¡¯ Despite not being able to understand what was currently happening, Dio was interested in forces he could not remember. A flag with a sun symbol that I had never seen before, as well as an armor pattern I had never seen before. It soon flutters and signals an attack. -Wow! Instead of being a single group, the demonic beasts begin to charge all at once toward the army that appears to be an allied force. A rain of arrows. Flames exploding and spreading everywhere. Dio vividly watched as the two gigantic forces began to clash. The humans fought back bravely. I don¡¯t know what the fight was for, but it felt like I was fighting with my back to a dead end street. As if there is no place to retreat anymore. However, the power of the magical beasts, which were different in size compared to humans, was beyond imagination. ¡®Is that Cerberus? ¡®It looks a little different from the one I caught?¡¯ Fire spouted from the mouth of something resembling a three-headed Cerberus. It was truly shocking to see the human army being wiped out unit by unit. It¡¯s not just him. It is noticeable that boss-level monsters that look similar to monsters Dio knew are controlling the battlefield. ¡®If this continues, the humans will eventually be defeated. ¡®But where on earth am I?¡¯ Even if a max-level player helped the human side, it seemed difficult to make up the difference in power. The moment when human armies are defeated one after another and their screams cover the war. Dio¡¯s ears began to hear the sound of a magnificent trumpet. Buu ¨C A not loud trumpet sound, but a majestic melody that can be heard by all beings on the battlefield. The bright sunlight shone down along with the sound of the trumpet. It was different from simply the clouds moving to reveal the sun. A more powerful beam of light pierces the still clouds. Hahahaha! Raindrops fell from the sky across the battlefield, as if a searchlight was sweeping down from a high altitude. Immediately after this, as if the production wasn¡¯t just about emphasizing visual splendor, something incredible began to happen. The raindrops that are shot raise the fallen humans and, conversely, burn the rampaging demon beasts. ¡®Nonsense!¡¯ Even ¡®Heavenly Hymn¡¯, the highest dignity magic for clergy, was impossible to produce an effect of this scale. Just as I was about to wonder who on earth had given me this level of divine power, a woman came down through the light that had burned even the clouds. No, the expression that it came down is not appropriate. It was right to say that this was an advent. I don¡¯t know if that woman is really God. However, her absolute beauty and her aura exuded greatness and dignity. So much so that even Dio, who had encountered countless powerful beings on the Order Board, exhaled admiration. The appearance of a woman completely changed the course of the war. Even Cerberus, who had a strong presence, was burned by the beam of light and was making painful noises. On the other hand, the revived soldiers were cutting down the black demonic beasts like they were chopping tofu. Dio stared at her, wanting to take a closer look at the woman who had created this amazing miracle. Swish- ¡®!!?¡¯ The woman who never lost her gentle smile suddenly turned her head and met Dio¡¯s gaze. ¡®Are you looking at me?¡¯ Dio did not think of himself as a materialized being. He clearly thought that this place was just a video happening in his head. In addition to the fact that it is floating in the sky, the gaze is handled as if the camera work is being manipulated. Just one incident: the fourth wall. ¡®I thought I was watching¡­¡¯ The fact that the woman looked directly at him was completely unexpected for him. The woman looked at Dio and although she was still smiling, she had a somewhat sad expression. Before Dio can even feel his surprise and embarrassment, the woman¡¯s mouth opens. As if the noisy commotion of the war was muted for that moment. Only the woman¡¯s voice rang in Dio¡¯s ears. -May brilliance be with you. * * * ¡°Ugh!¡± As soon as the vast memories replayed in his head were transferred to Dio in reality, a strong headache came to him. ¡°Heo-eok, heo-eok.¡± As Dio¡¯s headache gradually subsided and he came to his senses, he saw a fainting Sepia in front of him¡­ and a system message informing him of a new quest. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Hidden Quest: Rescue Sepia.] Contents: Sepia is engraved with the stigma of inevitable death. The Curse of Weakness is a powerful spell that does not even work with Luna¡¯s divine power. You have found a way to reverse this curse. It is a huge cage made with power that surpasses the curse. [Reward: Oath of Liberation Lv2] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª A large-scale war and the unidentified woman who ended it. It was difficult to understand the vision Dio saw right now. However, I could at least know that it was related to the Hidden Quest. Dio recalled the memory of encountering a hidden quest earlier. I was able to encounter the Death Knight in the Forgotten Temple and receive a special reward as a Forgotten Swordsman. In this way, the order board often gave special rewards called hidden quests. If you think about it. The reward for increasing the skill level of the Oath of Liberation will not simply be a level 1 increase. Of course, we can¡¯t check right now how much better it will be, but¡­ ¡®Oath Hidden Quest Fantasy.¡¯ What does this have to do with sepia? ¡®Maybe¡­¡¯ I think that choosing sepia might not have been a bad choice. Regardless of Sepia¡¯s capabilities. While organizing his thoughts, Dio suddenly looked at Sephia, who was unconscious in the aftermath of the light. Then a system window appeared before my eyes. [Check the player¡¯s health status for the oath.] [100% of the player¡¯s current stamina] [90% of the expected stamina consumed by the oath] [10% of the caster¡¯s ability value that disappears after the oath is made] [The player¡¯s current stamina is 100% Contractor 1/1 applied after] [Do you want to continue? Y/N] When asked to choose again, Dio regained his restless spirit. ¡®okay. ¡®It¡¯s later that you worry about the illusions and hidden quests that the system showed.¡¯ Now is the time to focus on the progress and results of the liberation pledge. D.O. has made up his mind once again. Recognizing that will, the system immediately began carrying out the pledge of liberation. [The ¡®Curse of Weakness¡¯ on the subject has been confirmed.] [Stamina is being consumed to neutralize the Curse of Weakness.] At the same time as the system message is updated, red energy from Dio¡¯s hand covers Sephia¡¯s entire body. It was. Then, it is visible that the condition of Sephia, who was unconscious and wheezing, is gradually improving. ¡®Is this the power of neutralization¡­huh!?¡¯ [warning! The player¡¯s remaining health is less than 10%.] The moment when Dio admires the red power contained in the oath of liberation. Dio gasped as he saw 90% of his stamina drained without warning. It¡¯s not just the numbers that are going down. Since this is reality, the lowered stamina status is directly affected in proportion to stamina. ¡°Cough!¡± At the same time as the pain was immense, a handful of blood poured out of Dio¡¯s mouth. ¡°Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!¡­! Even as he felt the pain of his five organs being twisted, the oath was steadily progressing. The exhaled blood wriggles like a worm. Then, it began moving towards Sepia following the path of the red energy. The red energy combined with the thick blood was like a red thread. The moment it touches Sepia¡¯s body. Her senses returned in an instant. ¡°!!¡± Sephia suddenly woke up and made eye contact with Dio, who was filled with determination. can not understand. Why is the man in front of me soaked in blood? Why is the man in front of me in pain? It was as if he was taking away all the curses he had ever had. It is no illusion that the stronger the pain a man feels, the more comfortable he becomes. This warm and cozy feeling given by the red thread¡­ why on earth? Why is this so¡­. Her eyes slowly close again. thud! Dio¡¯s knees suddenly lost energy and hit the ground with a sound. At the same time, a system notification sound sounds in his ear. Tiring! [The curse of weakness has been successfully neutralized.] Haha! The red energy was withdrawn with the message that neutralization had been successfully completed. [The oath of liberation has been completed.] [According to the oath, 10% of the player¡¯s stats are lost.] [According to the oath, the target is subordinate to the player.] [Quest completed!] [Rescue Sephia safely. ] [Reward: ] ¡°Heo, heo, heo.¡± Only after the oath of liberation was completely completed was Dio able to catch his breath. I expected to some extent the pain caused by the extreme expenditure of physical strength. But still. It was a terrible pain that I would never want to experience again. The afterglow of shock had not yet gone away, but fortunately the pain was slowly subsiding. ¡®sepia! What happened to sepia?¡¯ Dio, who was struggling in a near-death state, found Sepia asleep and quickly checked her condition. ¡®The color has definitely returned. Breathing is also normal.¡¯ Dio, who checked Sephia¡¯s pulse, breathed a sigh of relief. ¡®thank god. It will happen on its own as time goes by.¡¯ What D.O. must do now is clear. Get out of the prison as quickly as possible before the warlocks who cursed Sepia attack. The condition for clearing the hidden quest called ¡®Rescue Sepia¡¯ was probably only met when you left this location. ¡®Let¡¯s move calmly.¡¯ After thinking, Dio took out a potion from his inventory and drank it in one go. With this level of first aid, there will be no difficulty in moving. Now that I have regained some of my strength with the help of the potion, I have to move right away. Dio picked up Sepia and quickly walked out of the cave. * * * Dio¡¯s prediction was correct. As soon as I left the cave, the system message I had been waiting for came to mind. Tiring-! [Conditions have been met.] [The hidden quest ¡®Rescue Sepia¡¯ has been successfully cleared.] [As a reward for clearing the quest, the level of the ¡®Pledge of Liberation¡¯ skill increases to level 2.] However, Dio receives the reward right away . Couldn¡¯t confirm. Because it was still a situation where I couldn¡¯t feel at ease. ¡®First, ensure safety¡­¡¯ The potion used immediately after completing the quest is only used as a temporary measure. Unless it is an elixir, sufficient rest is needed to recover from internal injuries. Dio decided that way and did not leave the mountain range. Rather, he showed off his character by going deep and finding a flowing valley. ¡®It¡¯ll be okay here¡­¡¯ Dio found a suitable place and confirmed that the surroundings were safe. After that, I was able to take a breather by covering Sephia with a blanket. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Sepia was also rescued safely and escaped from the dangerous place. Now there is only one thing left for him to do. That is, confirming the ¡®compensation¡¯. ¡°Status window.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 19 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 19Episode 19 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Skill: Pledge of Liberation Lv.2 Effect: Makes an oath of liberation with one designated target. If the target responds to the oath, the caster¡¯s stamina is consumed and all status abnormalities on the target are neutralized. However, the amount of stamina consumed varies depending on the status of the designated target. After that, the target becomes dependent on the caster. 10% of the caster¡¯s stats are lost each time a contract is made. Current Contractor: [1/2] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°The number of contractors has increased!?¡± Dio, who checked the skill window, shouted in surprise. Skill changes as you level up were very simple. All it does is increase the number of contractors, which is limited to one. But what this meant was truly a huge reward. Did Dio worry about why he would use the Pledge of Liberation? Didn¡¯t you almost give up being human because you felt sorry for that one chance? ¡®It¡¯s actually better like this! ¡®My choice was not wrong!¡¯ Although Dio was exhausted, he clenched his fists and could not hide his joy. I honestly don¡¯t know how helpful Sepia¡¯s abilities are to Dio. However, if you think about Sepia, which has now taken up one of the two contracts, Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. there is one area where it can take a clear advantage. Who is she? This is the younger sister that Sigmund, one of the transcendental NPCs, cares deeply for. Even putting aside the fact that he subordinated Sepia, the fact that he saved her remains the same. If you can persuade Sepia well, it may be easy to gain Sigmund¡¯s support. Furthermore, Sigmund is secured as a complete ally? It was like Dio¡¯s power was rising exponentially. If the oath of liberation had been a one-time thing, the benefits of sepia would not have been as noticeable. However, as long as the skill was intact, Sepia¡¯s presence felt like a bonanza for Dio. So Dio wanted to look at the skills a little more. But does the sense of accomplishment that all the problems have been solved come with the fatigue that has been endured? Dio, who was watching Sephia fall asleep, was unable to stop his eyelids from slowly closing. * * * I had a dream. A dream of holding someone¡¯s outstretched hand. My memory is vague. It was definitely not my brother. Because he didn¡¯t have silver hair like me. What I vaguely remember was that it looked like a person tangled with red threads¡­ ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Sepia opened her eyes and woke up with a small groan. I only felt thirsty, but I no longer felt the terrible pain. When Sepia realized that fact, she couldn¡¯t believe it. I can¡¯t even remember the last time I woke up with such a clear mind. She has never been able to get a single restful sleep due to the curse of the warlocks. The refreshing morning that came to her was an indescribable happiness. She knew better than anyone else that the curse had disappeared along with the pain. Sephia was relieved by this relief, but came to her senses when the mysterious man came into view. ¡®omg! ¡®Where am I?¡¯ Sephia tried to get up, but then flinched and stopped. Despite her actions, the man stood in front of the fire without making any movement. ¡®Are you sleeping?¡¯ Sepia carefully observed the man in case he woke up. A man who fell asleep while sitting and leaning on a huge greatsword. The man¡¯s clothes were stained with bright red blood, and empty potion bottles were lying around him. ¡®Ugh!¡¯ Sepia¡¯s memories began to return at the sight of the man. A man trying to save himself even though he was bleeding and dying. The red threads flowing from his body come to mind clearly. Sepia stumbled, holding her throbbing head. Was it because he was trying to force himself to recall memories of being so overcome with pain that he was out of his mind? I think this person definitely said something to me¡­ Leaving behind the blurry memories, Sepia looked around. It was not a dark cave filled with feelings of giving up on the rest of my life. The sound of a small stream of water flowing by the stream. The sound of birds chirping, announcing the morning. The last embers of the bonfire that burned passionately all night. In this comfortable environment, Sepia realized that the man in front of her had brought her injured body to a safe place. ¡®What on earth is this man¡­?¡¯ Sepia¡¯s gaze returned to the unidentified man. A neat-looking young man with black hair who doesn¡¯t seem to have a single scar on his face, despite using a crude greatsword. Even though Sepia woke up, the man, who was deeply asleep, showed no signs of waking up. ¡®Why did you go through so much trouble saving me? ¡®Is it your brother¡¯s person?¡¯ My memory wasn¡¯t perfect, but I was sure it wasn¡¯t a dream. No matter what the process was, it is clear that the man in front of us made a great sacrifice to save himself. I thought that if there was someone who could save me from the bondage of pain, it would be none other than my brother Sigmund¡­ However, the man in front of me did not look like the Knights of Rivernos to which Sigmund belonged. Did she feel like taking a closer look at the man who saved her from pain? The moment Sepia approached him without realizing it. The man opened his eyes. * * * ¡®Did I doze off?¡¯ When Dio opened his eyes, he saw Sepia closely guarded. Even though Dio saved Sephia, it was natural for her to feel anxious. Dio, who understood this, stood up regardless and examined the situation. ¡®You¡¯ve recovered a lot.¡¯ Thanks to sufficient rest and the help of potions, my stamina, which was almost dangerous, quickly recovered. An unexpected hidden quest. Nevertheless, Dio eventually succeeded in rescuing Sepia and getting out of the cave safely. It was a moment when I felt proud of myself for an achievement that many max level characters could not achieve. ¡°Um¡­¡± Sephia¡¯s voice is heard, waking Dio from his thoughts. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m Dio.¡± Dio introduced himself in a friendly way to calm Sepia, who was still anxious. ¡°It¡¯s sepia. ¡°Thank you¡­ for saving me.¡± An introduction to hard sepia. Dio nodded at Sepia¡¯s greeting, who still seemed to be on guard, but could easily read the situation. Dio doesn¡¯t know what kind of personality she has. ¡®Something I remember about Sepia. A living corpse as a sacrifice for Sigmund¡¯s younger brother¡­what else is there?¡¯ Even though I tried to think of something more, nothing came to mind. This was because I had never experienced a proper conversation with Sepia in the last Order Board play. Dio is trying to figure out what level of conversation he should take to avoid confusing the other person. Her mouth moved first. ¡°But¡­what about me? ¡°Are you the person my brother requested?¡± ¡°Who is your brother?¡± In response to Sepia¡¯s question, Dio pretended not to know. Dio knows Sepia¡¯s background, but Sepia doesn¡¯t know Dio. Dio decided that there was no need to confuse real people by pretending to know them. ¡°Then why on earth?¡± ¡°Why did you save me?¡± When Dio raised Sepia¡¯s curiosity, she nodded. It was natural that Sepia couldn¡¯t understand Dio¡¯s intentions. Breaking a warlock¡¯s curse is not an ordinary task. A powerful curse through ritual cannot be stopped even by very powerful divine powers. Or even if you know the method, it is a magic called a curse that requires a corresponding price. The part Sepia is curious about now is¡­. It probably has a meaning behind why she saved herself at the cost of such a great sacrifice. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± However, even if Dio knows exactly what Sephia is curious about. No matter what I say now, it will be difficult for her to understand. After much thought, Dio answered Sephia, who was staring at him intently and listening intently to see what kind of answer he would get. ¡°I said thank you.¡± ¡°yes?¡± It was quite a sight to see Sephia bewildered by the absurd answer, even though she clearly heard it clearly. ¡°you.¡± ¡°¡­?¡± I don¡¯t think this can be glossed over. Nevertheless, Dio had no choice but to say this. Dio looked awkwardly at Sepia, who had an expression on her face as if she were looking at a weirdo that she couldn¡¯t understand. ¡°I wanted to hear that.¡± ¡°???¡± This is all I can say to her now. If there¡¯s one thing I wish for right now, it¡¯s just that she doesn¡¯t forget her good intentions. * * * While some time passed afterwards. Dio thought as he spent time talking with Sepia and getting to know each other. ¡®Don¡¯t you remember the thing about subordination? If you can¡¯t use your skills, you¡¯ll lose too much.¡¯ There is a problem if the contractor himself does not remember that he is subordinate. If a subordinate is not aware of the covenant, he or she may take actions that violate the covenant, even if not voluntarily. If that happens, you may suffer from the oath or, in extreme cases, die. Dio wondered how to solve this problem. So, I once again brought up the system window that I had planned to view later before going to sleep. ¡®I¡¯m sure there will be additional explanation regarding the contractor.¡¯ As expected, just as Dio thought, there was a hidden item in the description of the Oath of Liberation related to the contractor to whom the skill was applied. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Current Contractor [1/2] Name: Sepia Race: Human Age: 19 LV: 15 Trust: 10 [Subordinate-only trait] [Obedience] The subordinate is the owner obey orders. You can issue orders based on an oath through the keyword ¡®order¡¯. You may refuse orders, but at the cost of suffering according to your oath. [Bonding] The death of the owner is shared with the contractees who made the oath. The subordinate must act together with the master. If you are more than 1km away from your owner, you will be subject to pain according to the oath. [Breaking] The owner may break the covenant with the subordinate at any time. A contract that is broken will face death according to the contract. However, if destroyed, the contractor¡¯s slot will not become empty again. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®okay. This is what subordination usually feels like.¡¯ Dio nodded, remembering his abilities to maintain a master-slave relationship. Of course, just because he subordinated Sepia, he had no intention of treating her like a slave or treating her poorly. If you think about why he saved her, it was natural. Moreover, she was convinced that what she could gain from her brother, Sigmund, was much greater than what she could gain from Sephia anyway. However, even though I had used up one precious opportunity to make a pledge, the feeling that I still wanted to get what I could seep into me. ¡®First, let¡¯s talk naturally and bring up the topic of subordination.¡¯ Dio approached Sephia, who was sitting and resting, and spoke to her. ¡°You said you have an older brother, right?¡± ¡°Ah yes. ¡°The deputy commander of River North is my brother.¡± ¡°The famous Sigmund?¡± ¡°Do you¡­ know my brother?¡± ¡°I know your name. A rising knight of Rivernos.¡± Sigmund¡¯s reputation was better than pretending not to know anything. At Dio¡¯s words, Sepia opened her mouth with a shady expression, probably thinking of Sigmund, who was probably worried about her. ¡°Brother¡­ he¡¯s probably looking for me.¡± ¡°okay? ¡°Then can I take you to River North?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Even though Dio tried to be kind as naturally as possible, Sepia still remained silent. ¡®You¡¯re careful. ¡®You don¡¯t trust me.¡¯ Dio was able to figure out Sepia¡¯s personality just from a short conversation. In this case, it is difficult to tell the story about subordination. Rather, it is better to speak directly. As Sepia was worried, Dio made up his mind and got straight to the point. ¡°sepia. ¡°I don¡¯t know if you remember, but as my subordinate, you must act together from now on.¡± ¡°yes? ¡°What is that¡­?¡± As Dio expected, Sepia made an incomprehensible expression. Rather, it worked out well. It¡¯s a good opportunity to experiment with how subordination works. ¡°Hold my hand.¡± Dio suddenly extends his hand to Sephia and asks to shake her hand. ¡°?¡± Sephia frowned at Dio¡¯s actions and glared at his hands. Dio also wondered if Sephia would grab his hand. But fortunately, as he expected, the suspicious Sepia did not hastily accept the request. Yes, this is probably normal. But¡­ ¡°It¡¯s an order.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 20 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 20Episode 20 ¡°Huh?¡± The keyword ¡®order¡¯ in the oath. As she said that, Sephia¡¯s hand unconsciously grabbed Dio¡¯s outstretched hand. Even though it is clear that we must doubt the existence of Dio and be wary of his words. ¡°Why do my hands do whatever they want¡­!?¡± Sepia felt a sense of strangeness in her actions as she held Dio¡¯s hand. This may be because it is an action that does not contain her will. ¡®It wasn¡¯t a lie?¡¯ Sepia, shocked, hastily shook off Dio¡¯s hand. ¡°how is it? ¡°Does this explain it?¡± ¡°Oh no. ¡°I didn¡¯t know this¡­¡± Sepia¡¯s mind flashed for a moment as she tried to deny it. The oath of subjugation that began from the moment I held his hand. I vaguely remember seeing a blue piece of parchment appear in front of me right before I passed out. Now that I think about it, it looked like a contract made by magic. ¡®How can this be¡­ So you¡¯re saying I have no choice but to follow this person for the rest of my life?¡¯ Subordination that requires you to follow orders unconditionally? Isn¡¯t that like slavery? Sepia¡¯s eyes wavered uneasily at the difficult reality to accept. ¡°It may be confusing, but it was the only way to save you.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sephia, recalling the memories of that time, became speechless, unable to refute Dio¡¯s words. He simply gave himself the opportunity to release the death that had been promised to him. Accepting it was only his own choice. ¡°From now on, you must follow my words and act with me. ¡°If you don¡¯t, you will be punished for violating the oath.¡± ¡°¡­Punishment?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not doing it because I want to. ¡°The power of the oath that saved you is coming.¡± Dio added this to rule out the possibility that Sepia would suffer or die due to a violation of the oath. Of course, all he talked about was [obedience] and [solidarity], and he never explained anything about [breaking]. There is no need to instill anxiety that you can do whatever you want with the contractor¡¯s life. ¡°You might have a hard time understanding me right now. ¡°Well, since we have a lot of time, I¡¯ll explain the details slowly.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take you to River North first. Since you¡¯ll have to stay away from that older brother from now on, you¡¯d better brace yourself. ¡°I¡¯m a wandering mercenary.¡± Sepia bit her lip at Dio¡¯s words. From Sepia¡¯s perspective, it was difficult to fully accept what Dio was saying. I can¡¯t tell if everything he says is true or false, or a mixture of truth and lies. However, one thing was certain: the ¡®orders¡¯ he gave had no choice but to be carried out regardless of his will. ¡®I have no choice.¡¯ It is undoubtedly true that Dio¡¯s intention was to free himself from a terrible curse and save his life. ¡®How should I tell my brother¡­¡¯ Sepia looked worried as she thought about Sigmund, who must be worried about her. Then he shook his head and made up his mind. ¡®No, I can meet my brother again because I am alive.¡¯ okay. That¡¯s enough. Subordination or whatever, as long as I survive¡­ I need to have a little bit of trust in the man in front of me right now. For Sephia now, the only way to follow Dio was the best. ¡°¡­i look forward to.¡± [Sepia¡¯s trust has increased by 3.] ¡®Oh?¡¯ The system notification that seemed to confirm Sepia¡¯s decision caught Dio¡¯s attention. ¡®Trustworth has gone up, right? What part did it rise from? Does this mean that Sepia was somewhat convinced by what I said?¡¯ Dio, who had a rough idea of how the reliability system works, gave a short impression. ¡®I decided to follow him for now, but I¡¯m still very wary.¡¯ Trust only rose by 3. Perhaps the system wants to let you know that only when sufficient trust is built can it work together in complete dependence. ¡®Still, it¡¯s a very humane system.¡¯ It seems as if they are testing whether to treat subordinates bound by an oath carelessly or to build trust. After leaving a short review of the system, Dio began to think about future events. One way or another, now that he has brought her into his dependency, he needs to go through the future together with him. ¡®If I could make Sigmund subordinate while we were meeting, nothing would be better¡­¡¯ Dio started the happy circuit, but soon recognized the absurdity and shook his head. At the current level, it is almost impossible to conclude a liberation pact with Sigmund. ¡®And even if you don¡¯t make a pact, you will be able to maintain a good relationship with Sigmund through Sepia.¡¯ There is no need to waste precious skills by giving up human relationships such as blood relatives. ¡®Even if the level rises once more, there is no guarantee that the number of subscribers will increase again. So, I¡¯ll have to be more careful in the future.¡¯ Discovering the Hidden Quest can be considered a stroke of luck. It would be foolish to expect such luck again. D.O., who pledged to use the second contractor with great care, postponed plans for future contractors for the time being. ¡®The problem of having only one contractor has been resolved¡­ I need to extract as much benefit from Sepia as possible to make up for the lost stats.¡¯ Dio, who had his future plans in mind, immediately began to descend the Tyr Mountains with Sephia in tow. * * * In a dark space with only a few candles lit as light. A thin man with pale skin and cheeks twitching his eyebrows shouted furiously. ¡°The sacrifice disappeared?¡± A dark wizard¡¯s hideout hidden from the world¡¯s eyes. The head of the place, the warlock Viktor, who had reached the 3rd Circle, glared at the subordinate who reported to him. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°That¡­¡± Suha, who had fully received Victor¡¯s anger, trembled in fear and stuttered. ¡°Say it again.¡± Black magic is magic that requires sacrifice in exchange for great power. Among the offerings required for sacrifice, the most valuable thing is none other than ¡®life.¡¯ Among those lives, human life can be considered the best sacrifice for a warlock. For this reason, black magic, which took the lives of countless people, was considered taboo in the world. But is the sacrifice prepared while being treated like that now saying that that stupid subordinate has disappeared? Among the offerings, was there ¡®sepia¡¯, which was said to be an expensive gemstone? When Viktor asked again, the warlock who had delivered the news to him did not dare open his mouth. ¡°Try saying it again!¡± ¡°Hi!¡± Clink! The glass that Victor threw shattered right in front of the frightened subordinate. ¡°That¡­¡± Suha, who was receiving Victor¡¯s anger, was soaked in fear and sweat poured out like a flood. I wasn¡¯t reprimanded simply for delivering bad news. This is because he was a warlock whose job it was to manage the sacrifices of the thieves¡¯ den through slave traders. In other words, any problems that occur here are your own responsibility. Suha trembled at the thought that if he kept quiet like this, he would be killed by Victor. But in order to survive, I had to say something. ¡°Well, when I got there, all the thieves were already dead¡­¡± -Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! ¡°Gagging!¡± Black chains emerged from within Viktor¡¯s robes and began to bind the warlock¡¯s limbs. ¡°Even though you know what kind of sacrifice it is, you manage it like that!?¡± Victor screams and becomes angry. Victor, who can use 3-circle black magic, cast a whopping 4 stacks of black magic on the sacrifice. The warlocks assisting him knew how much effort he had put into it. The reason he puts so much effort into the sacrifice. This is because through this ceremony, an explosive level of hierarchical growth was possible. ¡®With a sacrifice of that level, the 5th circle would be an instant, but if I took the time to gather my strength, I could have even surpassed the 7th circle¡­!¡¯ Discovering Sepia¡¯s abilities was by chance. The area where the sacrifices needed for the recent sacrifice were searched for was River North. Although River North was a large city with good security, there was still a hidden underworld that committed crimes. Viktor contacted the underworld of Rivernos and purchased slaves, and in the process, learned of the existence of Sigmund, the guardian knight of Rivernos. The reality is that not only major figures in Rivernos but also the underworld are paying attention to the existence of Sigmund. In order to do something big, Victor also needed to investigate Sigmund in detail. In the process, they discovered that Sigmund¡¯s younger sister existed. ¡®I didn¡¯t really care at first. I was just approaching to see if I could create Sigmund¡¯s weakness.¡¯ The more Viktor recalled the incident, the more he couldn¡¯t hold back his anger at the situation that had just happened, and the more he trembled. ¡®The power of sepia is special. It was a talent at the level of an archmage.¡¯ If he had not recognized Sepia¡¯s power, there would have been no reason to kidnap her despite the obstacles that were Sigmund. Viktor, who kidnapped Sepia and saw with his own eyes the vast amount of mana within her body, could not forget the joy he felt at that time. The mana inherent in Sepia was a type of mana that Viktor had never seen before. No, maybe it¡¯s not mana. It is Viktor¡¯s first time experiencing a sacrifice at the level of an archmage, so it is no exaggeration to say that he does not know. However, one thing that can be certain is that Sepia¡¯s body contains an uncontrollable power, whether this mana or something else. Victor judged Sephia¡¯s power to be an inexhaustible talent and assured her that if she took advantage of it, she would achieve remarkable growth. I just ran so far for today¡¯s ceremony. Victor¡¯s sky-high anger finally began to explode at the thought that all of these plans were in vain. ¡°Huh huh! Victor! Please give me one more chance!¡± Puzzle ¨C In the world of warlocks, there is no such thing as one more time. Immediately, the chain of Viktor¡¯s sword twisted the warlock¡¯s neck, and he was killed instantly. Boom ¨C The warlock, who had become a cold corpse, fell to the floor. The other warlocks under Victor who were watching this trembled. Among the continent¡¯s most powerful criminal groups, warlocks cannot be left out. Moreover, although Victor was skilled, his ruthlessness was notorious even among warlocks. bang-! A new warlock opened the door and entered the hell where Viktor¡¯s punishment was taking place. The warlock urgently shouted out a message before Viktor¡¯s gaze could reach him. ¡°We have found the location of the sacrifice!¡± The warlock immediately kneels in front of Viktor and gives him a map. Warlocks always left trace marks on the clothing their sacrifices were wearing, just in case. Through this, Victor took over the map that accurately pointed to the target¡¯s location and unfolded it with anger. ¡°We haven¡¯t gotten far from the thieves¡¯ cave yet.¡± Viktor took rough steps, handing the map down to the chest of the warlock next to him. ¡°Everyone follow me!¡± If the offering ends up somewhere out of reach, the plan goes completely awry. Victor, anxious, decided to take action himself. ¡°Whoever took the sacrifice, I will cut it down with my own hands and kill it!¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 21 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 21Episode 21 ¡°Who is criticizing me?¡± ¡°yes?¡± When Dio, who was sitting in a rest area where a crackling bonfire was burning, spoke while picking his ears, Sepia just made an incomprehensible expression. ¡°Nothing. How do you feel?¡± Dio, who was chopping firewood with a great sword and making a bonfire, sat down in front of Sepia and opened his mouth. Even if Sepia escaped the curse, it was difficult to use her weakened body right away. So they took frequent breaks, and as a result, their movement speed was slow. ¡°I¡¯m OK.¡± Sitting by a warm fire would have made me feel at ease. Nevertheless, Sephia, who still felt anxious, gave a short answer and could only stare at the flickering lights. Cracking crackling ¨C only the sound of a burning bonfire lingered around me, and there was silence for a while. Dio tried to leave Sepia alone, but surprisingly, she opened her mouth first. ¡°Dio¡­ what exactly do you do?¡± ¡°I told you. ¡°A wandering mercenary.¡± Dio was internally taken aback by Sephia¡¯s question, which he did not expect to break the silence first. However, he tried to hide his expression and brought up the mercenary story he had mentioned earlier. ¡®Since he hasn¡¯t become strong to the A-level level yet, there¡¯s no need to bring up the story about Monte, the A-level mercenary.¡¯ While Dio was thinking about what happened in Evra Village, Sepia continued to ask questions. ¡°How can a mercenary dispel a warlock¡¯s spell? The same goes for the subspace pocket¡­ Are you a wizard?¡± The question is sharp. ¡®From Sepia¡¯s point of view, she might be curious about my identity, which is not clear.¡¯ But I also thought about the answer to this. ¡°I am not a wizard, but there is a famous mercenary among wizards.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think the ¡®Haeju Magic¡¯ that saved me was just magic¡­¡± Despite Dio¡¯s response, which tried to ignore him, Sepia did not give up and began to persist persistently. ¡°How can an individual have such power?¡± ¡°If you are a mercenary who uses high-level magic that can override a curse, I would have heard of you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not particularly skilled in magic, but I do know that not everyone can easily make the ¡®oath¡¯ that can lift the curse of warlocks.¡± A continuing sepia barrage of questions. Dio looked embarrassed at this. As Sepia said, the ¡®oath¡¯ is not a power made up of simple magic. A similar example is the oath made to the Imperial Emperor and his knights under the name ¡®Gears¡¯. ¡®Do you think the oath is an incredible magic worthy of Geass level?¡¯ After much deliberation, the answer Dio chose was¡­. ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sephia narrowed her eyes and began to look at Dio, and a system message appeared informing her that something had gone wrong. [Sepia¡¯s reliability has decreased by 1.] ¡®Oops!¡¯ Dio, who realized that just saying he didn¡¯t know wasn¡¯t enough, hurriedly opened his mouth. ¡°No, it may be ugly, but I really don¡¯t know. To put it bluntly, the power of this covenant was found in a place called the ¡®forgotten temple.¡¯¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sephia¡¯s gaze still did not change despite Dio¡¯s hastily added words. Still, did trying to make an effort work? Even if the lost trust was not restored, it was not lowered further. ¡®Damn¡­building trust is quite tricky.¡¯ There was no mention of restrictions on issuing orders even if reliability was low. However, if you think a little bit about why the system called reliability exists. It can be seen that there is a need to manage this. ¡®I thought it was just a humane system.¡¯ It was not a system created simply to test moral character. It is easy to lower trust and difficult to increase it. It was obvious that if it were an order board, penalties and compensation for this would have been clearly determined. And the way to check this is simple. ¡®Either set the reliability to 0 or increase it to the maximum reliability set by the system.¡¯ However, no matter what the compensation for this is, it is not very pleasing to D.O. to be driven by reliability. This is because your growth rate may slow down. Of course, it is obvious that a penalty will be given if it goes down to 0. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In such a situation, minimal management was necessary, so Dio hurriedly opened his mouth. ¡°How about you? ¡°How did you get caught?¡± D.O. chose to change the topic of conversation, fearing that Sepia¡¯s endless questions would erode his credibility. ¡°¡­.¡± At this, Sephia hesitated, and Dio was puzzled by her reaction. ¡®Why are you in trouble? ¡®I don¡¯t know any information about sepia, so I¡¯m curious¡­ is there something there?¡¯ When Dio made a curious expression, Sephia opened her mouth, pouting her lips. ¡°¡­Is that an order?¡± ¡°Oh no. ¡°If it¡¯s difficult to talk, you don¡¯t have to answer.¡± Dio quickly waved his hand as he was put in a situation where his trust was once again undermined by a thoughtless question. ¡°Foot.¡± A smile appeared on Sepia¡¯s face, as if the sight of Dio waving his hands in a hurry was quite comical. Although he was a suspicious person, one thing was certain. Regardless of whether you can trust them or not, the other person is trying to accommodate your feelings. ¡®Maybe he¡¯s more considerate than I thought¡­ he¡¯s cute.¡¯ Sepia¡¯s beauty shined dazzlingly with a sincere smile that had never been shown before. Even though she simply washed her face by the stream, her skin was flawless and clean. Countless men across the continent will fall in love with her laughter. But unfortunately, this did not apply to the man in front of me. This was because he was a being from a different dimension than this continent. [Sepia¡¯s trust has increased by 1.] ¡®Oh.¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes became animated as he simply reacted to the system¡¯s increased reliability. ¡®Why did trust rise? I like it anyway.¡¯ Dio stared at Sepia intently, wondering if something might happen due to the change in trust. Sephia, who felt burdened by his gaze, blushed at the tips of her ears and cleared her throat, probably realizing the smile she had made without realizing it. ¡°There¡¯s no need to hide anything from the person who saved me. In fact¡­¡± The low figure of 1 only rose. However, is it affected by the increase in trust by 1? Sepia¡¯s expression revealed a firm determination. Just as her mouth was about to connect¡­. Swish! ¡°Ouch!¡± Dio pulled Sephia¡¯s hand, and Sepia¡¯s fragile body was pulled into his arms. Dio, who had a firm grip on Sepia, lightly kicked the floor and stepped back while protecting her body with his huge sword. ¡°What is this? omg!?¡± Sephia shouted, embarrassed by Dio¡¯s sudden behavior. However, he soon trembled as he saw the tree stump he had been sitting on rotten and crumbling. That ominous energy. I hear a voice like a nightmare that I never want to remember again. ¡°It looks like something is going on.¡± A group of warlocks wearing black robes. Among them, a particularly tall-looking warlock steps forward. ¡°Victor.¡± ¡°¡­aha.¡± Viktor showed an expression of anticipation at Dio¡¯s words, who knew his name. ¡°Did you recognize the mark?¡­¡± Warlocks would leave their own marks to show off their skills. Victor thought that Dio recognized his mark. Of course, Dio knew that Viktor would appear without even needing to recognize the mark. ¡°I never would have thought that someone who looks like a noble person would touch my things even after knowing me¡­ I admire that foolishness.¡± At Viktor¡¯s words, the group of warlocks accompanying him began to giggle. ¡°you¡¯re welcome. ¡°Here¡¯s a gift.¡± Dio pushed the trembling Sephia back and threw a piece of firewood at Viktor. ¡°¡­.¡± As the firewood, which showed no intention of attacking, advanced in a parabolic curve, one of the warlocks next to Viktor accurately caught it. ¡°Give it to me.¡± Viktor offered his hand to the warlock who was looking at the huge pile of firewood. And the moment I was about to take firewood from him. [Popular] Kwagwagwagwang! As soon as Dio¡¯s skill was activated, a huge explosion erupted from the piece of wood. ¡°Kaaaaaaak!¡± The screams of the warlock, whose entire arm had been blown off, echoed. The damage is this much just from the aftermath of the explosion. However, through the thick dust, Viktor only smiled bitterly despite being completely hit by Dio¡¯s skill. ¡®He prepared in advance. It¡¯s a shame.¡¯ Forgotten swordsmanship is a melee-specific skill. However, through much experimentation and experience, D.O. found a way to use it remotely at any time. It¡¯s like five marks were carved into the firewood that was just thrown out. Of course, I didn¡¯t think that even with the power of five overlapping marks, it would be easy to catch Viktor. ¡®It would be surprising if a 3rd circle warlock was defeated by a level 80 player¡¯s skill.¡¯ Warlocks grow by offering sacrifices to the demon god, and grow exponentially as the hierarchy of the circle increases. But it¡¯s okay. The current Viktor is not the level 150 person who sacrificed Sephia and awakened to the 5th circle. Circle 3 Victor is at level 80, similar to Dio. At the same level, Dio, who is a solid player, is more than capable of overpowering Viktor. Pot! In a battlefield filled with smoke due to the width of the battlefield. Dio immediately kicked the ground. ¡°It moved!¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t look right!¡± In order to use magic, you need to see the target with your own eyes. Dio knew this. ¡®Block the view first.¡¯ From the beginning, the goal was to block the view through chain explosions rather than the power of the bomb. ¡°Just shoot in front!¡± ¡°Secure the field of vision first!¡± The warlocks were floundering and unable to respond properly as Dio intended. Suddenly! Dio¡¯s great sword cleanly cut off the head of the warlock, who was crying as his arm flew off. [3113 experience points have been obtained.] ¡®Has Viktor already been taken out?¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes quickly scanned the soot of the battlefield as he approached the enemies. ¡®Rather, it went well. Let¡¯s take care of the little things first.¡¯ Whirik ¨C Dio used his rotational power to raise his greatsword high and slash it towards the next target. ¡°Stop it!¡± ¡°shield!¡± The warlock, preparing for the attack, urgently shouted a spell. however. Kagagak-! Clink! Dio¡¯s great sword shattered the shield in one fell swoop. As a result, the warlock suffered mana reflux and vomited blood. ¡°Cough! ¡°Wow!¡± ¡®Now five.¡¯ Damn it! Dio cut off the head of the warlock who was vomiting blood right next to him again and lowered his posture. The battle unfolded suddenly, clearly starting with a surprise attack. Nevertheless, Dio¡¯s reaction to this was natural, as if he knew they would come. ¡®No matter how many times I tried to save Sepia, a prediction like this is a piece of cake.¡¯ Even though he knew of the chase, Dio did not quickly leave the Tyr Mountains with Sepia. Rather, they slowed down even more and left traces that were easy for the warlocks to trace. I also didn¡¯t forget to store skill marks in advance on the firewood used for the bonfire. because? Because he was planning to punish Viktor, who would show up in person anyway. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 22 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 22Episode 22 Kwasik! Dio looked at another warlock who had been crushed by his great sword and figured out the number of remaining enemies. ¡®Four to go.¡¯ As long as Sepia is subordinated, friction will arise with the warlocks at some point. It would be convenient for Dio to let Viktor go for no reason and deal with him now, as he seems to have room to become stronger. ¡®It is natural to step on it when the risk factor is minimal.¡¯ Sigh! ¡°Gagging!¡± Dio¡¯s great sword plunges into the heart of the warlock who was crawling on the floor. There are now three remaining enemies. One of them was Victor. ¡°Protect Victor until he completes the magic circle!¡± ¡°Hee hee! ¡°You protect it!¡± The sight of the warlocks struggling was truly a sight to behold. If the leader, Viktor, is a 3rd circle warlock, the warlocks under him are at the 2nd circle level at best, so it is reasonable. ¡®The only threatening skill they use is Shadow Bolt.¡¯ The moment Dio, who was aware of this, observed the actions of the warlocks. Tsupat! As Dio expected, a warlock fired a flame that condensed darkness. Ting-! However, the power of the Shadow Bolt could not pierce the great sword of destruction equipped by Dio. ¡°Stop him!¡± ¡°Pounce!¡± The warlocks seemed frustrated at this, but for some reason, they recklessly rushed at Dio. puck! ¡°Gagging!¡± When Dio struck the charging warlock between the eyes with the handle of his great sword, the man fell helplessly. ¡®But you¡¯re not completely stupid. ¡®I guess they¡¯re trying to buy time for Viktor.¡¯ As if Dio¡¯s thoughts were correct, the warlocks swung their daggers at random and tried to block his approach in any way possible. ¡°Die Lord!¡± Dio, who had no way of being hit by a dagger wielded by a warlock, deflected the arm thrown by the man and twisted it strongly. Puzzle- ¡°Kaaaaaaak!¡± Dio then pushed away the screaming warlock and swung his great sword, cutting him in two. Jeokjeok ¨C Dio was watching Viktor¡¯s actions through the cracking body of the warlock. ¡®Due to Viktor¡¯s personality, he won¡¯t try to kill me quickly with the ¡®black chain¡¯. ¡®I will use a more reliable method that will cause pain slowly.¡¯ Although it is magic, the ¡®black chain¡¯ can inflict physical damage. Dio was able to predict Viktor¡¯s next move just by the fact that he did not attack quickly with his special ability. ¡®I¡¯ll aim for something big.¡¯ Wow ¨C sure enough. Victor, who had bought time by sacrificing his subordinates, was casting while emitting condensed ominous mana. The magic he prepares is ¡®Eternal Curse¡¯. The attribute is dark and the fear type is cursed. It is impossible to avoid curse-type skills with targeting skills. In addition, once the Eternal Curse is hit, it takes dot damage until it dies. However, this does not mean that there is no way to overcome the curse. You can kill the target who has higher resistance than the 3rd circle curse or who used the spell. ¡®Of course, I have no intention of being cursed.¡¯ widely! Dio¡¯s new model stepped forward. Thanks to Victor¡¯s subordinates buying him time, the man¡¯s confident expression shows that he has almost completed the spell. ¡®The casting has been completed.¡¯ The casting stage of Eternal Curse is divided into three stages. Focused casting and targeting. It is easy for Dio to predict the level of completion of a spell through the depth of condensed mana. However, Victor, who had no way of knowing this, brightened his eyes as if this was an opportunity. Concentration and casting were already completed in a melee. Now, if you target your opponent for the last time¡­. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Hehehe, it¡¯s over!¡± However, the moment when Viktor looked at Dio running towards him and was about to fire the concentrated mana. Hahahaha! ¡°What¡­!¡± A warlock blocking Viktor¡¯s view¡­ no, a cold corpse. As the target of the curse was hidden from view, Victor panicked and quickly withdrew his hand. ¡°It¡¯s unfortunate. ¡°If it had been a 5-circle casting speed, I might have had a bit of trouble.¡± ¡°You damn bastard!¡± Victor, who could not have imagined that using a corpse as a shield to deviate from targeting, shouted in rage. ¡°Why are you so embarrassed?¡± Dio¡¯s laugh reached right in front of Viktor. ¡°Noooooom!¡± As Victor shouted, becoming even more enraged, the guy¡¯s skin turned black. Fuha! Flare used by wizards who need to increase distance to ward off their opponents. Black smoke erupted from inside Viktor¡¯s body, taking away Dio¡¯s vision. But there¡¯s no reason Dio couldn¡¯t anticipate Viktor¡¯s flare. ¡®It¡¯s obvious.¡¯ Long-distance attackers like Victor tend to leave defensive measures to increase distance from their opponents. As Dio, who had experienced this countless times, predicted, Viktor blocked his view to protect himself. This also applies to him, and Dio does not need to use a corpse as a shield. In other words, he gave up the ¡®target¡¯ of the curse. Dio, who was laughing at Viktor in his heart, looked at the black fog. Before long, the fog that had obscured Dio¡¯s vision cleared for a moment, and Victor appeared. In line with this, Dio¡¯s eyes were fixed on both of Viktor¡¯s angry hands. ¡®You idiot, do you think you can hit it if you change it to a non-target?¡¯ A decision to make in a situation where the guy can¡¯t target. He was careful because the curse was targeting, but if it was used as a general projectile magic, it would no longer be a threat to Dio. Tuhwaaagh-! A shooting mana sphere passes Dio¡¯s ears. ¡®If it¡¯s that big¡­ I¡¯ll take another shot.¡¯ Cracking pat-! Dio avoided all of Viktor¡¯s time lag attacks with light movements. If you are a warlock with around 3 circles like Viktor, you can divide the mana you have collected to use powerful skills. This means that the targeting magic prepared for one shot can be converted into two non-targeting spells. Just by looking at the size of the mana sphere that had just been dodged, one could tell how much Viktor had split the spell, so it was a possible prediction. ¡°If only I had offered that sacrifice, I could have reached the 7th circle!¡± Victor¡¯s cries of evil were heard, but Dio¡¯s skills were faster this time. ¡°What 7th circle? ¡°Even if you try that, the 5th circle is your limit.¡± ¡°I¡¯m dying!!!¡± Dio, who was smiling at Viktor, who was screaming in anger, threw the corpse he had been dragging at him. Quagwagwang! ¡°Ugh!¡± The marks on the corpse exploded and covered Victor¡¯s entire body. Necromancer¡¯s corpse explodes. Dio, who had already learned a variation of a forgotten sword technique, imitated it. The power of the explosion was not enough to kill Viktor instantly, but it didn¡¯t matter to Dio. ¡®It¡¯s over!¡¯ While Viktor was suffering from the hot flames, Dio¡¯s great sword tried to cut him down. But- ¡®Huh?¡¯ Obviously, cutting off Victor¡¯s head will end this. Nevertheless, Dio paused for a moment while swinging the great sword. The moment the explosion occurred was a split second. Nevertheless, is this time when the afterglow of the explosion seems to be prolonged, is it D.O.¡¯s illusion? Hwareuk ¨C Even though it was a very short period of time that could not be felt by human senses, Dio could see that the flames from the explosion were still burning. ¡®what? Is this new magic?¡¯ Dio narrowed his eyes and looked at the flames. The sight of Victor in pain and the flames flickering as if they are alive around him. Dio, wary of this strange phenomenon, drew back his greatsword. ¡®Victor did not have this ability. Is it a spirit? No, this is¡­what is it?¡¯ The flame burning unusually before his eyes was most likely an unknown territory that Dio did not know about. Therefore, Dio did not hastily attack Viktor and decided to observe the situation. Grrrr-! As if Dio¡¯s judgment was correct, the living flame soon blazed menacingly and created a single shape. ¡®What is that? whip? No, that¡¯s a chain!¡¯ Dio, who sensed something unusual about the chain created by the flames, withdrew his greatsword and fell away from Viktor. ¡®This is dangerous! ¡®Can I survive with my equipment?¡¯ Salamander equipment set with fire resistance. I thought most fire attacks wouldn¡¯t work, but the flames in front of me had unusual momentum. It¡¯s so hot just by being this far away. Even Viktor seemed to be in pain from the hot flames. ¡®¡­Why? ¡®Why is Viktor in pain?¡¯ Victor is expected to be the source of the flame. However, the sight of him feeling pain was enough for Dio to have doubts. For what reason is the orderer himself suffering? Are you saying it wasn¡¯t the magic Viktor used?¡­ Then who? -Hmm¡­. ¡°What?¡± Dio turned around at the sound of angry sobs. Isn¡¯t Sepia, who thought she was protecting her from a safe distance, sobbing with her red eyes shining? ¡°sepia? sepia!¡± Dio, who was embarrassed, called Sephia¡¯s name, but she seemed to be out of her mind and did not hear Dio¡¯s cry. -You too¡­ suffer! Sepia¡¯s wailing sound echoes with thick flames. Dio, who was watching this, could feel it. The tears Sepia is shedding now contain powerful anger. Cluck! A chain made of flames bound Viktor¡¯s limbs at once, as if to appease Sepia¡¯s twisted smile. ¡°Kaaaaaaak!¡± An indescribable scream was heard from the pain caused by the chains that were constricting Viktor¡¯s entire body. ¡°stop! Please¡­Krrrrrrgh!¡± Despite Viktor¡¯s cries of pleading, the chains did not stop tightening his body. Rather, as if this wasn¡¯t enough, he pried open his mouth and started burning all of Viktor¡¯s organs. Grrrr! ¡°Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.¡± Eventually, Viktor¡¯s screams stopped and the chains were released after he died, but the flames were still burning hotly. ¡°Magic with ego¡­¡± Dio muttered as he watched the entire process while holding his great sword tightly. The flame drew Dio¡¯s attention by repeatedly contracting and relaxing, leaving the charred Viktor alone. As I said before, it¡¯s like having an ego. Gulp ¨C Dio, who was wondering if the flames might attack him, swallowed. But fortunately, the flames died down after killing Victor. At the same time, Sepia faints. Whisper- ¡°Sepia!¡± Dio hurriedly ran to the unconscious Sephia. It was only after checking the sepia that there were tears that had not yet dried that Dio was able to breathe a sigh of relief. ¡°Whoa¡­.¡± Sephia seemed to be not fully conscious. But is he aware that he took revenge with his own hands? She looked much more comfortable sleeping. ¡®What on earth was that just now?¡¯ Dio, who was convinced that the source of the unfamiliar flame was Sepia, was lost in thought. Most NPCs who can use egoic magic are those who have risen to the ranks of the strongest and can only be encountered in later content. ¡®Is this why Sepia was sacrificed¡­and why Viktor mentioned the 7th Circle?¡¯ An NPC who has been sacrificed countless times by warlocks. An NPC that is simply used as a medium to awaken the important character Sigmund. A character who is only mentioned briefly and cannot escape the fate of the scenario. ¡®Are you saying it wasn¡¯t a coincidence?¡¯ Sepia¡¯s unexpected abilities made Dio realize that she had not just been kidnapped due to bad luck. ¡®If I do this well¡­¡¯ Sepia seemed unable to control her own abilities. If control was possible, someone like Victor wouldn¡¯t even be able to touch Sepia¡¯s fingertips. Dio, who carefully held Sepia in his arms, walked slowly, feeling the need to reorganize his future plans. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 23 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 23Episode 23: Rivernos, a large city that has achieved remarkable growth based on fertile land. However, even within the majestic fortress, there are bound to be slums. Among the unfortunate people living in the slums, Sigmund was also an orphan who grew up in a shantytown with his younger sister Sephia. Of course, he wasn¡¯t an orphan from the beginning. Even though they didn¡¯t have a father, they had a mother who loved them. However, their widowed mother was worried and left a will to Sigmund. ¡®Please protect my younger sister.¡¯ Just like that, their single mother left and the siblings became orphans in a shantytown. To raise Sepia, Sigmund did all kinds of odd jobs, including criminal activities such as theft and pickpocketing. However, even though they were young, their lives did not get better and on that day, Sigmund, who had stolen something, was almost beaten to death by the guards. An opportunity came to him. The leader of the Knights of Rivernos recognized Sigmund¡¯s courage. This meeting was the first opportunity for Sigmund, who had a talent for swordsmanship, to take flight. ¡®River North¡¯s youngest deputy commander.¡¯ Sigmund grew up like a storm, and as soon as he became an adult, he was trusted by everyone, rose to the position of vice-captain, and even received the title of semi-noble. The future of the Sigmund siblings, who had grown up unhappy in the slums, seemed to be repaying them for their hardships. But life is new. It may not be an illusion that the misfortune that comes to them after overcoming it seems like someone is planning to torment them. News of the disappearance of Sephia, who went to find a pretty flower garden for Sigmund¡¯s birthday ahead of his birthday. After hearing the news, Sigmund was unable to maintain his sanity due to anxiety. In Sigmund¡¯s world, there was only sepia. At first, it was just because of my mother¡¯s will. The reason he tried to escape from the slums and the reason he tried to develop the strength to protect someone. Sepia had suddenly become the purpose of Sigmund¡¯s life. Sigmund put all his effort into searching for Sepia, borrowing the power of not only the knights but also the lords. However, after 15 days, Sigmund, who has not found any clues, is about to lose his senses. ¡°Vice-captain! ¡°I found a clue!¡± ¡°Really!?¡± ¡°yes! ¡°Here are the relevant documents.¡± ¡°It moves right away.¡± ¡°yes!¡± Sigmund hired everyone who was good at searching, including thieves, adventurers, and wizards, and even tried to ask for help from the church. bang! Sigmund, who was in his office, stormed out of the room upon hearing the news brought by his deputy. ¡°It¡¯s not that far.¡± ¡°yes! ¡°We have identified the exact traces at the border between the plains and the Tyr Mountains!¡± Sigmund flipped through the stack of documents organized by his deputy and immediately figured out Sepia¡¯s whereabouts and information about the group that kidnapped her. Upon hearing the news that traces of Sepia had been discovered, the knights who came to Sigmund shared the information even though they had not received a separate summons order. chuck! chuck! Sigmund doesn¡¯t pay any heed to the crowd of knights and just keeps walking, flipping through documents with a venomous look in his eyes. And the knights who followed behind them checked the equipment they were wearing and waited for Sigmund to give his orders. Not just knights. Even the administrators and wizards of the Rivernos territory were following Sigmund¡¯s footsteps and sharing the information coming in one after another. ¡°Lord Sigmund! ¡°I figured out that it might have something to do with warlocks!¡± S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°The additional report is also consistent with the previous information.¡± ¡°Reconnaissance Team 1 is on standby at the scene.¡± They weren¡¯t just showing excessive loyalty to Sigmund because he was the deputy commander of the River North Knights. Sigmund, a commoner, was a promising figure in many ways not only because of his ability, but also because of his upright beliefs and charisma as a leader. Those who watched Sigmund closely know how much he cherishes his sister. The people following Sigmund were all angry and seemed to have no hesitation in helping him. ¡°These bastards. How dare you¡­.¡± ¡°The size of the identified group of thieves is 50. However, the size and power of the slave traders involved are still being ascertained.¡± Sigmund learned that the people who kidnapped Sephia were a group of slave traders and thieves, according to the information gathered by Rivernos. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his skin. ¡°Go after these bastards right now! ¡°I will rip it out by the roots!¡± ¡°yes!¡± Although it may have been just harsh words and actions, those who followed Sigmund did not care. They just move to their respective positions as soon as an order is given. When Sigmund stepped out of the building, Rivernos¡¯ white horses were already listed for him. ¡°Open the door!¡± Sigikigeek ¨C Sigmund mounts a horse and the elite knights of Rivernos follow him. ¡°Go at full speed without stopping! ¡°Never fall behind!¡± ¡°yes!¡± The knights of Rivernos shouted loudly at the words of his loyal lieutenant, not Sigmund. Doo doo doo doo! Sigmund kicked his horse and a procession of knights followed him. Sigmund, who was only thinking about Sepia¡¯s safety, gritted his teeth and muttered quietly. ¡°Sepia¡­.¡± * * * A clear sky without a single cloud. For some reason, the two people crossing the vast Plains of Paramont were circling the outskirts, where grass and trees were thick, rather than the center. ¡°This is the right one.¡± Sephia, who escaped from her hideout in the Tyr Mountains, opened her mouth, pointing to the silver grass field on the wide plain spreading below the ridge. ¡°Of course. ¡°I told you I knew a shortcut.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± The path Dio led through the silver grass that grew as tall as a person was a shortcut to River North. ¡°To get to River North, go straight southwest from the cave.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sephia looks completely untrustworthy despite Dio¡¯s kind explanation. It was as if they were wondering how on earth they knew about a road that showed no signs of being walked by anyone. ¡®You must be anxious.¡¯ Dio understood Sepia¡¯s feelings because everything had felt like this until now. You won¡¯t get lost at all even if you don¡¯t have a map or compass. Even though it is not a road people travel. It¡¯s fortunate for Dio that Sephia doesn¡¯t ask much about this. ¡®It¡¯s obvious that if you vaguely explain it, your credibility will decrease.¡¯ Dio glanced at Sepia, who was silently following him, and began to think about her again. Sepia was thought to be just an object of pity. However, her ability was seen two days ago when she had a fight with a group of warlocks. In this regard, Dio needed to understand Sepia¡¯s potential abilities and story more deeply. ¡®I should also check Sepia¡¯s status window.¡¯ The reason why I didn¡¯t check Sepia¡¯s status window until now was simple. This is because I didn¡¯t expect much from an NPC that was only level 15 and had no significance. ¡®I wasn¡¯t careful.¡¯ But who would have expected this to happen? Dio opened the system and pressed Sepia¡¯s name on the contractor list. Then, as he expected, Sepia¡¯s status window opened, allowing him to check out its abilities in more detail. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª : Sepia : 15 : ??? Strength: 13 Dexterity: 17 Intelligence: 22 Stamina: 15 Mana: 28 HP: 152 MP: 194 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Unlike Dio himself, there are no bonus points. It seems like your stats will automatically increase as you level up. And one thing that can be considered unusual is¡­. ¡®Because he is a person whose occupation is private¡­¡¯ his class is not ¡®none¡¯. Sepia¡¯s occupation hidden by a question mark. This meant several things. ¡®It¡¯s magic with an ego¡­ Is it a wizard with exceptional talent for a specific attribute? No, it might not be magic. ¡®A spiritist?¡¯ Dio, who thought of several possibilities, immediately shook his head. The abilities that Sepia showed were a bit¡­unorthodox, so it¡¯s still difficult to draw conclusions. Additionally, if it is a new class that is unknown to D.O. due to the 2nd update, it cannot be ignored. In any case, Sephia¡¯s demonstrated abilities may have potential comparable to Sigmund¡¯s. ¡®In order to realize that possibility, we have no choice but to ultimately increase reliability.¡¯ Dio turned his head and opened his mouth towards Sepia. ¡°sepia. Look over there. It¡¯s a granary area. From here on, we are within the jurisdiction of Rivernos.¡± ¡°¡­yes.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio occasionally tried to talk to Sepia in order to lower her anxiety and guard, but Sepia¡¯s answers each time were extremely concise. I felt like I needed to approach her in a different way to gain her trust. * * * Another night came during the journey to River North. Now that we have entered the granary area, there is not much left to reach the city. Of course, because the plain was so wide, it was a full day¡¯s walk, but if you were lucky, you could catch a ride on a passing carriage. Dio confirmed that Sepia was asleep and opened the status window for a final check before entering the city. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Status Window] : 87 : Forgotten Swordsman Strength: 149 Agility: 90 Intelligence: 36 Stamina: 90 Mana: 45 Bonus Points: 0 HP: 767 MP: 632 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Slash ¨C Swing the sword to inflict damage to enemies in front.

The user can activate additional skills in conjunction with cutting. When skill width is activated, the most recently displayed mark explodes.

Acquire essence of flame 4. [???] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After defeating the warlocks, I went up 1 level. Dio, who had finished distributing the strength stats, looked at the skill list carefully. Forgotten Swordsmanship is a growth skill that creates additional functions for each condition that is opened within a skill. ¡®Since the class is a growth type, does that mean the skills are also a growth type?¡¯ ¡®Width¡¯, which was opened by completing the first condition, consumes a reasonable amount of mana and has many uses, so as a result of using it from time to time, I have already used it over 200 times. And the pledge of liberation¡­. ¡®It¡¯s really strange.¡¯ A pledge of liberation that has been leveled up as a reward for hidden quests. The method of increasing your skill level only by completing specific quests was quite a unique case, even for Dio, who had been playing the Order Board for a long time. ¡®No, maybe¡­¡¯ Dio recalled the fantasy of the system he saw when he became a forgotten prosecutor. The Oath of Liberation is the forgotten swordsman¡¯s unique skill. If Sepia, the target of the Hidden Quest, is a fixed character who can raise the level of the Oath of Liberation. ¡®Couldn¡¯t Sepia also be a person related to the forgotten prosecutor?¡¯ Dio, who carefully guessed while considering the connection between class, skill, and hidden quest, soon shook his head. ¡®The power that Sepia showed was great, but compared to the power of the woman seen in the fantasy¡­¡¯ The light that Dio saw burned the enemies, but the gap and nature seemed very different from Sepia. For now, I had no choice but to leave the possibility open. ¡°Whoa.¡± Dio, who decided that there was nothing more to come out even after thinking about it deeply, looked at Sepia who was sleeping. With the information Dio knows now, he cannot know exactly what relationship Sepia has with the forgotten swordsman. ¡®Rather than trying to increase credibility¡­ we need to learn about the character Sepia itself.¡¯ Above all, another personality that appeared when killing Viktor. When Sephia came to her senses again and asked, she said she didn¡¯t remember. It was evident that he was reluctant to speak with anxious eyes. ¡®I think Viktor was trying to tell me something before he attacked.¡¯ Since this is an important issue, there is a way to use the power of the oath to reveal the truth to Sepia. However, because of this, power could not be used carelessly. The nature of the covenant states that the contracting party may be forced to refuse the orders of the ruler. If you make a mistake while forcibly digging into the sensitive parts of sepia with the power of an oath¡­ ¡®You could die.¡¯ It was not possible to use force and recklessly test what would happen afterwards. It¡¯s still too early to make any hasty judgments, but Sepia herself doesn¡¯t seem to like her own abilities very much. The story is that although Dio may think it is a natural talent, Sepia himself may think it is another curse. ¡®He probably didn¡¯t even try to control his abilities in the first place. And I¡¯ve already seen firsthand how warlocks covet this ability. ¡®I might be wary of that too.¡¯ Dio hasn¡¯t been with Sepia for a long time. No, it was my first time hanging out with Dio, who was a dead man. However, I realized from the moment she was freed from the curse that Sepia was not a person who acted without thinking. The ability to judge the situation and the calmness shown while controlling heightened emotions immediately after liberation. Just looking at it, he was a person who was far from ordinary. Even though he was receiving help from D.O., his actions to keep his distance were completely understandable. ¡®I may be constantly on guard lest I, having discovered an ability I wanted to hide, might harbor the same thoughts as a warlock.¡¯ Maybe Dio¡¯s guess was wrong. It¡¯s not like you can read people¡¯s minds, so it¡¯s foolish to just think and judge as you please, but¡­ ¡®It must be difficult for Sepia to easily accept the idea of subordination by covenant in the first place.¡¯ Pledge of trust Putting all these systematic things aside. Dio developed a strong curiosity about the person named ¡®Sephia¡¯. Rather than worrying about ¡®reliability¡¯ in order to utilize skills, my desire to know more about the character Sephia grew. Even if the reliability is lowered to 0. ¡®I can¡¯t help it. Should I try that method?¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes lit up as he remembered an operation that would take place tomorrow. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 24 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 24Episode 24 The morning when the sun begins to rise. When Dio opened his eyes, washed briefly with water from the stream the day before and was putting away his belongings, Sepia was looking at him with blinking red eyes. ¡°sepia.¡± ¡°yes.¡± Dio approached Sephia, who straightened up at his call. ¡°I have something to say.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Did he intuit that this wasn¡¯t going to be just a light story like usual? I see her eyes shaking. However, Dio did not weaken despite Sepia¡¯s nervousness that he might ask questions that would reveal his secret. ¡°You¡­¡± Dio slowly begins to speak and Sephia becomes more and more anxious. Still, I can¡¯t help it. In order to carry out the conversation, Sephia needs to be a little more honest. So far, whenever Dio brings up something important, Sepia often changes the conversation or remains silent. As I thought last night, using the power of an oath to force an answer was too dangerous. However, it was too important information for Dio to just ignore it like this. ¡®Sepia¡¯s story is directly related to my survival. And Sepia¡¯s own life.¡¯ There is only one method I came up with here. That is, letting Sepia tell its own story. Dio, looking at Sepia full of tension, finally said what he had been thinking about last night. ¡°Are you a heretic?¡± ¡°¡­yes?¡± [Sepia¡¯s reliability has decreased by 5.] * * * Freud¡¯s empire boasts a vast land mass. However, even within the empire, there was one large city that was not greatly influenced by the empire¡­ The Holy Kingdom of Atra. Atra, located near the capital of the empire, was the largest religious state of the Luna Church and was a sacred area that not even the emperor dared to exercise jurisdiction over. ¡°Thank you for your hard work in coming this far. ¡°Sister.¡± S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A middle-aged priest dressed in smart clothes greeted Clara with a smile. Clara was tasked with searching for a forgotten temple. She relayed the events she experienced during the mission to Luna through Jeon Seo-gu. After that. I don¡¯t know why, but Luna came to Atra after receiving a call from the Archbishop, something she had never dared to imagine. ¡°Wow¡­ it¡¯s so big.¡± This was Clara¡¯s first time visiting Atra Cathedral, so she let out an exclamation and followed the priest as she led the way. A cathedral where access is restricted to general believers. The majesty of the huge Gothic-style building was so grand that Clara was daunted from the moment it entered. Clara passed the altar and statues decorated entirely with gold and platinum marble and climbed the spiral staircase deep inside. Eventually, she was able to reach the room at the top, and even though she knew where she had been invited, she could not control her pounding heart. The so-called ¡®Saint Hall¡¯. As if its name suggests that it is a sacred space, the sturdy door of the Saint Hall was engraved with the moon and cross symbolizing Luna. ¡°Priest Clara. ¡°You may have already received training several times, but I hope you will be careful about your behavior one more time.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Despite the priest¡¯s kind words, Clara tensed up and responded to the sharpness she felt from him. That¡¯s because the average believer knows what it means to reach the front of St. Hall. There can be no greater honor than this for those who are just beginning to pursue their dream of becoming a priest. Squeak ¨C The huge door of St. Hall opened of its own accord, but the priest quietly looked at Clara and nodded. This was because only called believers were allowed to enter the St. Hall. The Saint Hall was a sacred place where no one could enter without permission. Step-step- Clara entered the Saint Hall with stiff steps and immediately lowered her head. ¡°Greetings to the noble Moon of Luna.¡± The Saint Hall is like a throne room where the king of a country is treated. A platform so high that you have to raise your head to the point that your neck hurts. There was a magnificent throne that could not even be compared to the cathedra, the bishop¡¯s chair. And the woman sitting on the throne. Who could be more noble than that woman? Who could be holier than that woman? There are two positions that can be said to be the highest positions in the Luna Church. One is the Pope and the other¡­. ¡°Raise your head. ¡°Priest Clara.¡± Saint Kaleyna Luna. Her voice echoed through St. Hall. ¡®How can your voice be so noble!¡¯ Clara was filled with ecstasy just by hearing the saint¡¯s voice. What caught Clara¡¯s eyes when she raised her head was a pure white dress that only the Pope and saints could wear, and a white rim with dazzling golden waves attached to it. Also, with flowing blonde hair that goes down to below the waist. Chilly cold blue moonlight eyes looking down at me. The overwhelming presence of Kaleina, also known as the Moon of Luna, seemed to fill the Saint Hall. Clara was very nervous about having a private meeting with a saint, but that only lasted for a moment. Clara¡¯s eyes were immediately filled with awe when she saw in person the image of the saint she had only heard about. ¡°I meet the noble Saint of the Moon.¡± Despite Clara¡¯s repeated greetings, as if drunk with glory, Kaleyna¡¯s icy cold expression showed no change. Kaleyna¡¯s firmly erect head seemed to always be looking down at her opponent. But Clara, as if it were natural, approached the podium with her hands politely clasped together and got down on one knee. ¡°I heard about the forgotten temple.¡± ¡°yes yes.¡± ¡°Tell me again everything you saw, heard, and experienced.¡± Clara swallowed her saliva as Kaleyna¡¯s voice was like a choir¡¯s hymn, and explained in detail what had happened. From the joining of A-class mercenaries and the Death Knights of the Mural Temple. Kaleina, who heard the story in much more detail than what was posted in the report, did not open her mouth for a long time even after Clara¡¯s report was finished. Kaleyna cried out to Clara, who was so nervous that she wondered if she had said something wrong. ¡°Monte.¡± ¡°yes yes?¡± When Kaleyna, who seemed to be uninterested in everything, mentioned a person¡¯s name, Clara was startled and asked. ¡°Where has he gone now?¡± ¡°That¡­¡± Clara hurriedly tried to remember at Kaleyna¡¯s unexpected question. ¡°I only heard that they were going to a southern city. ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on¡­¡± As Clara trailed off in embarrassment, Kaleina spread her palms out as if that was enough. ¡°¡­.¡± Clara¡¯s silence brought silence to St. Hall once again. Kaleyna¡¯s expressionless expression lasted for a while, and eventually she finished thinking and slowly opened her mouth. ¡°Thanks for your efforts. Clara Priest. ¡°The sister¡¯s performance has been of great help to the church.¡± ¡°That¡¯s too much praise.¡± ¡°This diocese will pay appropriate compensation. Please contact Father Gideon outside for information on the schedule.¡± ¡°thank you! ¡°Saint.¡± ¡°Luna¡¯s blessing will continue to light the way for you, sister.¡± ¡°Infinite glory to Lu Luna and the saint!¡± Clara, who had never expected to hear words of blessing from Luna¡¯s saint, was filled with emotion and her eyes filled with emotion. Regardless of performance, the blessing bestowed in the name of the saint is a great honor that is difficult for ordinary believers to experience, so her reaction was by no means excessive. After Clara left the Saint Hall, the only sound that could be heard was the saintess closing her eyes and tapping on the nightstand. How much time has passed? ¡°pole.¡± At Kaleina¡¯s call, a new type appeared in front of her. ¡°Did you call me, saintess?¡± Besides the saint, Paul Eppenhaus is the only one who has free access to the interior of the St. Hall. Although he was an archbishop, he was the most powerful person among the archbishops because he was assisting the saint. Immediately after receiving the report about the forgotten temple, he ordered his subordinates under the saint¡¯s instructions to track the whereabouts of a mercenary named Monte. ¡°There was no lie in what the sister said. What do you think?¡± ¡°There was no report of this kind from the southern territory. ¡°It looks like he probably leaked a false story.¡± ¡°I think the same thing. Archbishop Paul. ¡°I feel like the name Monte is false.¡± Kaleina pointed a finger at Paul without even looking at him. At a silent signal, Paul naturally handed over the prepared quill. Kaleina took it and wrote something on the paper spread out on the nightstand. After quickly writing, Kaleina lowers her pen and nods. Paul put the document written by Kaleyna in the envelope he had prepared in advance. Then, he sealed the envelope with candle wax and pressed the saint¡¯s seal, certifying that it was a special letter. ¡°Tell that to River North. You are likely to find traces of him in the Earldom of Herrington, which administers the western part of the Empire.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Paul disappeared immediately after receiving the saint¡¯s letter. As she watched Paul disappear as quietly as he had appeared, the saintess closed her eyes once again and was lost in thought. * * * It¡¯s cold. She promised not to lose her pace no matter what she heard, but the word ¡®heresy¡¯ was enough to shake Sephia¡¯s resolve. On the continent, ¡®heresy¡¯ refers to a group of people who worship darkness. ¡°Am I¡­a heretic?¡± Sepia looked at Dio with cold eyes. can not understand. Warlocks are the ones who advocate heresy. Sepia couldn¡¯t understand why the man in front of her who saved her said these words even though he fought against a group of black magic. ¡°Why do you think that?¡± ¡°Do you know what those we call heretics believe?¡± In response to Sepia¡¯s cold question, Dio began to say what he had been thinking about. ¡°They only pursue strength, not faith. Even if it means sacrificing our own compatriots.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°The power you showed me. That type of power is something I¡¯ve never seen before. ¡°It was too disorderly to be called magic and too violent to be called faith.¡± As if he had no intention of listening to Sepia¡¯s excuses, Dio interrupted her and pointed out strange things. Gulp ¨C I¡¯m being suspected. Until now, Sephia had thought that the person responsible for the suspicion was herself. But whatever. Rather, it was completely unexpected that the person who saved him would be suspected of heresy. It can¡¯t continue like this. Until now, my actions of being suspicious of others actually acted as a poison. Sepia began to feel scared that Dio might think of him as a heretic who used dark powers like black magicians. It is said that warlocks do not hesitate to sacrifice their colleagues. Dio¡¯s words had some validity, so Sepia quickly shook her head. ¡°That can¡¯t be possible!¡± ¡°They say a strong negative is a strong positive¡­¡± It was Sepia herself who became impatient with Dio¡¯s reaction. Instead of the friendly attitude he had shown so far, Dio looked at her indifferently, putting a lot of pressure on Sephia. Sephia recalled the image of Dio she had seen before losing her mind when Victor attacked her. The sight of Dio mercilessly slaughtering the warlocks is like¡­ ¡®Could it be¡­ Holy Hwangcheong?¡¯ Is it really necessary for a mercenary to go out and search for the bandits¡¯ hideout hidden in the Tyr Mountains? Moreover, the hideout of these thieves is no different from the den of black magicians. There was only one force that could deal with them faster than the Rivernos Knights, to which her brother belonged. A heretic interrogator from the Holy Emperor, who is said to be the first moon of Luna. A terrible group that holds out the sword of judgment without mercy if there is even the slightest suspicion of heresy. ¡°¡­I¡¯ll tell you everything.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 25 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 25Episode 25: There is a saying, ¡°Yeokjisaji.¡± This is the strategy Dio came up with. Conversely, I had no doubt that if he was put in a situation where he could be suspected, he would spew out the truth to explain himself. To be honest, Dio didn¡¯t even think that Sephia was a heretic who worshiped darkness, so he felt a little uncomfortable scaring her. But what can you do? I don¡¯t have time and this is the only way I can think of. Did the effect work properly or am I misunderstanding something? Although Sepia was cautious, she told Dio everything he might be curious about. To sum up what she confessed¡­. Sepia said that since she was young, she occasionally lost consciousness and had an experience of running out of mana. However, it was too unstable a power to be considered a talent for magic. Even the wizards who were called through my brother¡¯s network to diagnose her did not receive any solution. ¡°You say it¡¯s impossible by your own will?¡± ¡°yes. It may be hard to believe, but¡­ it¡¯s definitely not something like ¡®the power of the devil¡¯¡­!¡± Sepia, which emphasizes certain words. She was making a strong case that the power Dio was suspecting was not related to darkness. ¡°And most of the powers I have shown are of fire and light. It has nothing to do with darkness¡­¡± ¡°Wait, light?¡± ¡°yes.¡± Dio¡¯s eyes lit up at Sepia¡¯s additional explanation. An unidentified woman who swept the battlefield with holy light. ¡®The guess that Sephia¡¯s power is not magical talent but divine power¡­ may be correct.¡¯ There was a high possibility that the warlocks who kidnapped Sepia also did so solely because of her talent for magic. If you knew it was divine power, there would be no way you could have used it as a sacrifice. ¡°Please believe me. There were occasional accidents¡­but I never hurt anyone. ¡°Maybe¡­¡± Maybe? Doesn¡¯t this guy know that he burned Viktor? I think it¡¯s true that I can¡¯t remember. Or maybe he doesn¡¯t treat Viktor like a human being. ¡®Under the circumstances, even if it is not divine power, it seems to be using a similar type of power¡­¡¯ There is still insufficient information to make a conclusion. The possibility that Sephia is lying cannot be ruled out. ¡®Fire, light and a force so powerful that one loses consciousness¡­an alien force.¡¯ Dio, who was organizing his thoughts without saying anything about Sepia¡¯s story, suddenly felt puzzled by Sephia looking at him. In order to reveal the truth, he expressed his suspicions about heresy. However, Dio did not think that Sepia was connected to heresy from the beginning. That¡¯s why no further inquiries were made afterward¡­. ¡®The vigilance is still the same. But why are you so obediently cooperating? ¡®Did I speak too forcefully?¡¯ Dio wondered if he had made a mistake, but he was able to understand why Sepia reacted so sensitively to her next words. ¡°But¡­ Mr. Dio, perhaps¡­.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Sepia cautiously opens her mouth. ¡°Are you the Heretic Questioner?¡± ¡°what?¡± Heresy Inquisitor who judges heresy. Only then did Dio understand why Sephia had reacted so sensitively. From Sepia¡¯s perspective, Dio is the person who found the hidden dark wizard¡¯s hideout and exterminated him. Dio said that finding the cave was just a coincidence. But there was no way Sepia could believe what he said. Didn¡¯t Sepia already have enough suspicions about Dio¡¯s incomprehensible actions, including his suspiciously excellent search ability? ¡°no. I told you. ¡°I¡¯m a mercenary.¡± ¡°¡­is it so?¡± Even though Dio¡¯s words were sincere this time, Sephia still did not turn her eyes away from suspicion. ¡°I am a non-religious person to begin with.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you from the East?¡± ¡°East? Isn¡¯t it?¡­No, it¡¯s the East? ¡°But what does that matter?¡± Dio, who had no way of knowing the warehouse character¡¯s origins, listened intently to Sephia¡¯s answer and asked about the intention of the question. ¡°They say that many people in Seonghwangcheong come from other countries.¡± ¡°Who is it? As far as I know is-.¡± ¡°Besides that. ¡°I also know that the Inquisitors are trying to hide their identities.¡± Dio sighed at Sepia¡¯s groundless words. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s say you¡¯re right. Then would I have left you alone? ¡°I¡¯m sure you know very well that they immediately use their skills even on minor issues, right?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± I made Sepia open her mouth, risking the loss of trust she had built up at best. Now that we have achieved our intended goal to some extent, being misunderstood in this way is something that we, as D.O., would absolutely refuse. Because it was dangerous for trust to be further undermined, D.O. took action in self-defense. ¡°I don¡¯t like them that much either. ¡°A group of people who are inflexibly confined to witch hunts.¡± ¡°¡­I heard that too.¡± ¡®It¡¯s about your brother.¡¯ Fortunately, seeing Sephia¡¯s expression clear up the misunderstanding, Dio thought back to Sigmund, who had joined the Inquisitors. Inquisitor of Execution. It was truly merciless. ¡°I¡¯m saying this because it occurred to me.¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not long until we get to the city. Shouldn¡¯t we get along?¡± The meeting between Sepia and Sigmund is not such a simple matter. It wouldn¡¯t have mattered if Sepia had been saved normally, but she became Dio¡¯s subordinate and made a pact to save her life. I don¡¯t know whether Sigmund will understand this or not. ¡°The concept of subordination isn¡¯t such a good thing, is it?¡± ¡°¡­Yes.¡± Sepia nodded, understanding what Dio was saying. ¡°You can¡¯t be separated from me anyway. A curse placed on you by warlocks. Let¡¯s say we have to accompany him to treat it.¡± ¡°Treatment? ¡°Then I think they¡¯ll be more worried and won¡¯t send me away.¡± ¡°They say I have to leave for treatment. ¡°I will design it.¡± If we were to say that sepia can be cured using a vision handed down from the East as an excuse, it would be somewhat understandable. Of course, I don¡¯t think that alone is enough. Sepia¡¯s words would be most important in persuading Sigmund. ¡°Still, lying¡­¡± ¡°Well¡­Sigmund may have everything to worry about, but isn¡¯t it better than being dragged around as a subordinate?¡± Seeing that Sephia was still hesitant, Dio drove a wedge. Even from Sephia¡¯s perspective, she would be reluctant to tell Sigmund that she had become subordinate to an unfamiliar man she barely knew. After much deliberation, Sephia made a decision, nodded and opened her mouth. ¡°Promise me one thing.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°My brother. ¡°If Sigmund decides to follow me¡­ please be sure to stop him.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°My brother grew up in the slums and rose to the position of deputy commander.¡± ¡°yes. ¡°It¡¯s almost admirable.¡± ¡°I hope my brother doesn¡¯t give up his life for me. The honors and titles he earned. Losing everyone because of me¡­ I cannot tolerate it.¡± Dio closed his eyes for a moment at Sephia¡¯s words. To be honest, I didn¡¯t think Sigmund would sit still in Rivernos, leaving Sephia to leave. If the great power of Sigmund comes along, Dio will welcome it with open arms¡­ but if Sepia vehemently refuses, it will be inevitable. ¡°good. I promise. ¡°Don¡¯t get in your brother¡¯s way.¡± Dio opened his eyes again and answered while looking into Sepia¡¯s eyes. ¡°¡­Then that¡¯s enough.¡± Sephia was relieved to see Dio¡¯s sincere eyes, but not all problems were resolved yet. ¡°But how do I prove that I¡¯m still under the curse?¡± ¡°That¡¯s simple.¡± Dio, who had already prepared a solution to Sepia¡¯s sharp questions, took out a bottle of ink from his inventory. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°Lawsonia alba extract.¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°Henna extract is just a tattoo tool.¡± ¡°Ah-¡± The tattoo tool I brought along in case I needed to use it to hide my identity. It is a type of magic tool that allows you to create tattoos just by imagining it, even without dexterity. ¡°¡­Can this be erased?¡± Sepia said as if she was uneasy at Dio¡¯s actions of rolling up his left sleeve and drawing a sentence. ¡°If you leave it alone for about a month, it will erase itself.¡± Dio, who finished the work in an instant, answered while adjusting the hem of Sepia¡¯s clothes. ¡°good. Then let¡¯s leave right away. ¡°It¡¯s not long until the city.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio spoke energetically, but Sepia didn¡¯t respond, perhaps thinking over the conversation just now. Dio, who had left her alone and finished organizing the luggage he had not packed yet, was sizing up the direction. Dududududu- Dio, who noticed that the vibration of the ground could be felt slightly from afar, called Sephia. ¡°sepia!¡± The exact location where they are currently located is on a ridge between plains. Dio, who discovered a group crossing the plain below the ridge, called Sephia and pointed them out. Dozens of cavalry galloping at full speed. The sight of heavily armed knights following a leader carrying turquoise-colored collars resembled a herd of buffalo. ¡°Look over there!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the flag of the Rivernos Knights!¡± Sepia is pleased to see the knights coming up quite close to the ridge. She was so happy that she left Dio alone and started running straight towards the knights. ¡°Dio! ¡°Hurry!¡± Sephia, who seemed excited about the fact that the knights had come so close, shouted at Dio first, who normally would not pay attention to him. Even if I was soon separated from Sigmund, it was natural to look forward to the moment of escaping from death and being reunited with my family. ¡®I hope I can persuade Sigmund well.¡¯ At Sepia¡¯s urging, Dio spotted a silver-haired knight who was unusually ahead of the approaching group from afar. ¡®Sigmund.¡¯ You can also see a handsome man with sepia-like, or slightly brighter, silver hair and dozens of knights following him. ¡®Is this the time when the bandits are destroyed and Sigmund joins the church?¡¯ S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. To some extent, this was expected. If Dio had not been able to save Sepia, he would have been reluctant to encounter Sigmund, but he is different now. I was able to rescue Sepia, which had never been successful before, and I am very curious about Sigmund¡¯s reaction to it. ¡°Be careful, Sepia. Then you fall.¡± ¡°Quickly. hurry!¡± Dio slowly followed Sephia, looking after her in case she accidentally fell. ¡°brother!¡± Sepia reached the flat road where Sigmund was running and waved her hand at Sigmund, who must have spotted her. ¡°sepia. wait here! ¡°Don¡¯t get hit by words for no reason.¡± Dio, who followed, shouted, but Sephia had no intention of stopping. ¡®Well, I wouldn¡¯t let Sigmund hurt her.¡¯ Dio decided to watch the brother and sister¡¯s reunion from afar, out of frustration. What Dio was most worried about right now was Sigmund¡¯s reaction. It is natural that Sigmund would be suspicious of Dio¡¯s existence. It may change depending on Sepia¡¯s testimony, but would any family stay quiet after hearing that she was leaving the city with a strange man? ¡®But anyway, the result is that I saved Sepia¡¯s life. If you dig into that area¡­¡¯ Now that I think about it, isn¡¯t he the one who saved Sepia? Even if they receive compensation for this, they are still worried about losing their hats. It can¡¯t help but be quite out of shape. Well, it¡¯s not something I sought for compensation¡­ but wouldn¡¯t I be able to expect at least a small amount of compensation? ¡°brother?¡± While Dio was imagining something useless, Sephia stared blankly at Sigmund, who was passing by her for some reason. Dududududu- ¡°¡­?¡± It wasn¡¯t just Sepia that felt strange. Dio was also overcome with anxiety, not just strangeness, as Sigmund ran past Sepia. Why? Why doesn¡¯t it stop? Why are you making such a scary face? Why does it seem like it¡¯s running towards me? ¡°I¡¯m dying!¡± Dying? Who dies? It was only then that Dio realized as he heard Sigmund yelling with a murderous expression on his face. The point of the sword that Sigmund is pointing at right now means that the target of his anger is himself. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 26 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 26Episode 26 : A knight on a white horse gallops like crazy. Sigmund, vice-captain of Rivernos. The momentum he gave off was on a different level from that of ordinary knights. It is said that the impact force of a rider riding a horse is equivalent to being hit by a car. Doo doo doo doo doo! Dio was embarrassed by the sense of speed of Sigmund rushing at full speed, and sensed that his life was in danger. ¡°Ugh!¡± bang! Dio¡¯s great sword, which reacted late to the sense of intimidation, barely caught Sigmund¡¯s sword. However, Sigmund¡¯s monstrous strength and the impact of the rider blew Dio away. Quagwagwang! ¡®What power¡­!¡¯ Dio, who rolled on the floor, barely managed to keep his stance as he planted his greatsword in the ground. If the Great Sword of Crushing was not a unique grade weapon, it would have been so powerful that it would have been shattered long ago. If Dio hadn¡¯t thrown back with a superhuman reaction, his wrist would have been shattered. However, since it was not spilled, Dio massaged his numb arm. -Hey! Sigmund took the reins and stopped the white horse, circling around Dio, who had rolled on the ground, and slowed down. ¡°I¡¯ll make you regret being alive.¡± Sigmund got off his horse and approached Dio, spitting out scary words. ¡®Your eyes rolled back, right?¡¯ Dio, seeing Sigmund turned upside down, recalled the days when Sigmund was the ¡®Inquisitor of Execution¡¯, judging heretics without mercy. ¡°Wait a minute ¨C I think I¡¯m misunderstanding something!¡± ¡°die!¡± Dio shouted urgently, but Sigmund¡¯s sword seemed to have no intention of stopping. Bung- ¡°Inhale!¡± Dio, who knew that the attack could not be blocked by blocking, quickly lowered his head to avoid it and widened the distance between him and him. ¡°Lord Sigmund! ¡°I am not the enemy!¡± ¡°gibberish! ¡°I saw you chasing Sepia with my own eyes!¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t chase it, I followed behind¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s loud!¡± Sigmund took a charging stance as if he had no intention of listening to Dio. It¡¯s a big deal. Sigmund, who seemed to have completely misunderstood something, did not seem to have any intention of talking to Dio. visor! As Sigmund continued to attack, Dio raised his sword once again to block his attack. Kagagagak-fit! However, the attack was only repelled once. It was an instant before Dio, who was unable to completely block Sigmund¡¯s subsequent sword attack, had scratches on his face. ¡°Tsk!¡± Dio stepped back to avoid Sigmund¡¯s sword that grazed his cheek. The good news is that Dio can somehow respond to the current Sigmund. If it had been an awakened Sigmund, the match would have already ended in the first match. The best Dio could do now was to hold out until Sepia quickly came and stopped Sigmund. ¡®damn.¡¯ The problem is that the knights who followed Sigmund thought Sepia was dangerous and surrounded her as if to guard her¡­ If this continues, they might really die before she comes. ¡®I have no choice but to somehow create a gap and kill time through conversation.¡¯ Sigh! Dio plunged his great sword into the ground in response to Sigmund¡¯s attack. Kagak! Continuing a power struggle with Sigmund is not a good idea. So Dio chose to block Sigmund¡¯s attack route rather than directly engage his sword. When the Great Sword of Crushing was driven into the ground, a battlefield was created as if a huge pillar had been erected between Dio and Sigmund. ¡°It¡¯s the same!¡± Because it was a bulky greatsword, Sigmund deflected the greatsword as if it were not the same and aimed at Dio¡¯s body. But it is enough for Sigmund to be aware of the obstacle. That alone could slow down Sigmund¡¯s actions just a little. Throw in! Dio¡¯s new type flew high faster than Sigmund¡¯s attack, which was limited to stabbing. Boom! Using the Great Sword of Crushing as support, Dio jumped high again and quickly passed over Sigmund and caught his back¡­ Dio¡¯s subsequent kick landed in Sigmund¡¯s face. Bye! However, Sigmund was able to block the kick by holding his sword back. Dio covered his tongue at that surprising reaction. ¡®shit.¡¯ phut! Sigmund swings his arm and shakes Dio off. In response, Dio got on the ground and did a somersault to increase the distance from Sigmund again. ¡°It¡¯s my first time seeing this movement¡­ but it looks like it¡¯s a little bit like that.¡± Sigmund, who realized that the other person¡¯s skills were not average, calmly opened his mouth, and Dio¡¯s eyes lit up. It is now. We have to take advantage of the opportunity when Sigmund is calm to continue the conversation somehow. ¡°for a moment! Just listen to me for a moment! ¡°I was the one who rescued Sepia from the thieves¡¯ den!¡± Stop. Did Dio¡¯s earnest cry finally come through? Sigmund¡¯s movements stopped for a moment, and Dio, who could not miss this opportunity, calmly thought about what to say next. You must not say anything. In order to explain it, it is necessary to understand Sigmund¡¯s personality. ¡®The family love is strong. I think it¡¯s even more so because I¡¯m the only blood relative left.¡¯ Perhaps it is because of the strong bond and family love that has existed since childhood. If so, even a fool would know that the magic word that can restore Sigmund¡¯s mind is ¡®sepia¡¯. Dio is the one who saved Sephia. ¡®I didn¡¯t want to show off¡­ but there¡¯s nothing I can do.¡¯ Dio decided that the only way to resolve the misunderstanding was to speak directly. You have to appeal not only to the fact that you saved her, but also to the fact that you went to great lengths to bring her here. I had to let him know about my dedicated efforts for Sepia. ¡°The warlocks had kidnapped Sepia with them. All I want to do is rescue her and head to Rivernos.¡± ¡°under!¡± Despite Dio¡¯s explanation, Sigmund let out an exclamation and still did not erase his hostility. ¡°How do you know that you are a member of the warlocks?¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°Are you telling me to believe you when I say that you cleaned out the warlocks by yourself?¡± Dio, embarrassed by Sigmund¡¯s wild speculation, was speechless. ¡°I thought you knew we were tracking you and tried to take Sephia somewhere else!¡± He was just so embarrassed that he couldn¡¯t speak, but Sigmund used that as an excuse to continue shouting with confidence. ¡°You are summarily executed!¡± ¡®Isn¡¯t this completely crazy?¡¯ Dio gritted his teeth at the sight of Sigmund not listening to him no matter what he said. ¡®I can¡¯t die in vain like this!¡¯ We prioritized persuasion, but also took into account situations in which persuasion might fail. The great sword of crushing that left Dio¡¯s hand. Five marks engraved on the Great Sword of Crushing. And the great sword of crushing is currently within close range of Sigmund. The moment when Dio is about to activate [Exposure] at the timing of Sigmund¡¯s approach. Sigh! A hard-looking rock hit Sigmund on the head. There is no one here who can attack Sigmund without his knowledge. Is it just here? There are few even on the continent. But that¡¯s possible for one person. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Only one person, whom Sigmund could never be on guard against, was qualified to hit him on the back of the head. ¡°Three sepia? why?¡± There is no way that Sigmund, a superman, would have suffered even a single injury just from being pelted with stones. However, after confirming that the person who threw the stone was Sepia, Sigmund simply opened his mouth and could not move, perhaps because he was in mental shock. ¡°stop!¡± Sepia¡¯s shout pierced Sigmund¡¯s ears. thank god. Honestly, I wondered what would happen if Sepia didn¡¯t stop him, but honestly, there¡¯s no reason for her not to stop him. ¡®He¡¯s just being wary of me, but I¡¯m glad he¡¯s thinking carefully about the oath.¡¯ Dio didn¡¯t think Sephia believed everything he said. Nevertheless, anyone who has seen Sepia so far will not easily overlook the stories about the help they received and the oath they made. ¡°Oppa, are you crazy? Are you planning to kill me too?¡± ¡°What does that mean? Why should I¡­¡± ¡°Oh really!¡± Sephia, who had decided to agree in advance, stamped her feet in frustration as she could not bear to tell the truth. ¡°Phew-¡± Anyway, I made it to Sigmund and Sephia safely. The only thing left is to separate these two again¡­. ¡°Dying together? What on earth does that mean! sepia!¡± Sigmund shouts, looking alternately at Dio and Sepia with burning eyes. As a result, Dio sensed that future difficulties were foreshadowed. * * * ¡°I am sorry. ¡°Senator.¡± ¡°it¡¯s okay.¡± Sigmund, who seemed to be hot-tempered, bowed his head to Dio and handed him an apple. The knights who followed Sigmund were waiting far away, and Sigmund was currently talking to Dio with only Sephia in tow. ¡°I¡¯m glad the misunderstanding has been resolved.¡± ¡°It seems that there are many mysterious visions in the Eastern Continent.¡± Sigmund, who had heard everything explained to Sepia, continued the conversation in a calm manner. Or maybe he was just pretending to calm down to get Sepia¡¯s attention. ¡°It also lifts the warlock¡¯s curse. Even though he doesn¡¯t look like a congressman on the outside. haha.¡± Sigmund¡¯s tone, full of sarcasm, is proof of that. ¡°¡­The West Continent is a mystery of our Eastern Continent that cannot be known.¡± On the outside, they are smiling and talking to each other, but there is a strange tension in the air. Now, Dio had explained the journey to Sigmund based on the story of Sepia¡¯s kiss. In that story, Dio is set up as a ¡®wandering lawmaker from the Eastern Continent¡¯. Black hair and exotic appearance. And unusual, mystical knowledge. Considering that Sephia misunderstood Dio as someone from the East, it was a valid story. Nevertheless, it is difficult to completely resolve Sigmund¡¯s doubts. ¡°Usually healers have enormous holy power and water mana¡­¡± ¡°If this place deals with mana, we deal with energy.¡± The misunderstanding that he was not a henchman of the warlocks was resolved, but Dio calmly answered Sigmund¡¯s question as his doubts were not all gone. ¡°Did that cure the warlock¡¯s curse?¡± ¡°Rather than a cure, it is about turning black magic into nothingness. ¡°It is close to the concept of Haeju.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sigmund made a puzzled expression at Dio¡¯s answer without hesitation. ¡®He says he¡¯s Gingaminga too.¡¯ In any case, additional conversation seems necessary to make the fake identity believable. ¡°We in the East Continent view the treatment methods of the West Continent as mysterious. Healing is done with faith in God. ¡°In our continent, religion is more about spiritual practice and philosophical teachings.¡± ¡°¡­But the member of the National Assembly seems to have quite a bit of force. Are all the members of the Eastern Continent like that?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a law that says a member of the National Assembly cannot learn martial arts? ¡°I came all the way here across the sea, but I have enough to protect myself.¡± ¡°Then the warlocks too¡­¡± ¡°Haha, didn¡¯t I say I took care of them all? Oh, and-¡± Dio, who was naturally continuing his story, lowered his head to Sigmund and lowered his voice. ¡°As you saw earlier, the stigma engraved on Sepia¡­ cannot be treated with normal methods.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Sigmund looked nervously at Sepia¡¯s left arm next to him. ¡°¡­Is there a way?¡± Sigmund¡¯s question is full of anxiety. At this, Dio smiled and opened his mouth. ¡°Sure. Who am I? I am the best lawmaker from the East who came across the sea.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 27 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 27Episode 27 ¡°Is that really true?¡± Sigmund¡¯s face lit up at Dio¡¯s answer that there was a way. In response, D.O also imitated the appearance of a lawmaker in a very cautious manner. ¡°There was a case similar to this in my hometown. ¡°It¡¯s called intangible poison.¡± ¡°Poison?¡± ¡°In the Eastern Continent, there is no concept of curse, so they just call it poison. ¡°If you look at the state of sepia, it is the same as an intangible poison that focuses on long-acting effects.¡± ¡°Then how¡­!¡± Sigmund did not fully understand Dio¡¯s words, but he became absorbed in the atmosphere he gave off and gritted his teeth. ¡°It¡¯s not that treatment is impossible. However, the patient¡¯s condition must be monitored continuously, and the medication prescription will continue to change as the curse progresses. I will have to keep going around to find the ingredients for that medicine¡­¡± ¡° ¡­What do you mean?¡± ¡°yes. I think Sepia will have to move with me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not possible! ¡°I just need to get the ingredients!¡± Sigmund shouted, terrified at the thought of having to let Sepia go. However, Dio expected that kind of reaction from him, so he slowly shook his head and opened his mouth. ¡°The ingredients I need will be difficult to find unless you are from the Eastern Continent. ¡°If it is not treated in time, it is very dangerous because the condition will worsen.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Oppa, I¡¯m fine. This person is right¡­ He will definitely come back in good health¡­¡± Hearing the words of Sephia, who was listening to the story next to him, Sigmund was heartbroken as he had to accept this unbelievable reality. In any case, since Sephia herself agreed, I have to let her go for her own sake. But even if his sister had made a promise, Sigmund was not sure about the man in front of him. ¡°¡­Let¡¯s go to River North first and finish talking. Rep. ¡°Sepia will be okay for now, right?¡± ¡°First aid has been completed, so for now. ¡°But I think I¡¯ll have to leave within a week.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Sigmund nodded as if he understood and shouted to the knights waiting for him from afar. ¡°Everyone returns to the city!¡± ¡°yes!¡± Amid the shouts of the knights, Sepia followed Sigmund. Then, when he turned around and met Dio¡¯s gaze, he nodded with a gloomy expression. She probably doesn¡¯t feel comfortable either. But I can¡¯t help it. Even in order to uncover the forgotten secrets of the swordsman, I can¡¯t stay stuck in one place in Rivernos. * * * [Entered the big city of Rivernos] Dio and his party arrived in Rivernos comfortably thanks to the knights¡¯ escort. Dio was impressed by the sight of River North, starting from the magnificent gate, even though it was a place he had been tired of visiting. Past the guards guarding the majestic castle gate, there are buildings so tall that they are incomparable to the village of Evra. In addition to all kinds of buildings such as blacksmiths, churches, warehouses, and general stores, various guild buildings, including mercenaries and adventurers, were also built. Dio wanted to run straight to the warehouse, but at Sigmund¡¯s invitation, he went straight to the Rivernos Knights¡¯ mansion where he worked. The Knights¡¯ Mansion was not far from the mansion of ¡®Earl Herrington¡¯, the lord of River North. ¡°Vice-captain has returned!¡± ¡°Loyalty!¡± As Dio and Sephia, led by Sigmund, entered the mansion with the knights, the salutes of the knights waiting for them rang out. ¡®Indeed, the Rivernos Knights are among the top five in the western part of the continent.¡¯ Dio swallowed his saliva as he looked at the dozens of knights lined up in shiny plate armor. If I can¡¯t persuade Sigmund, I have to bring Sepia in even if I have to use force¡­ ¡®I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s possible.¡¯ Although Sigmund held the position of deputy knight commander, he was the highest authority in the Rivernos Knights. This is only natural when you think about the aging knight commander who is about to retire. ¡°Everyone disperse. And Mr. Representative, would you like to talk with me for a moment? ¡°I will personally treat the benefactor who saved Sepia.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s do that.¡± Sigmund bit the knights and spoke to Dio, and Dio nodded as if he knew that too. ¡°Sepia, you will stay in my room for the time being. So¡­¡± Sigmund couldn¡¯t bring himself to say the words ¡®until I leave,¡¯ but Sephia tried to understand his feelings and answered with a smile. ¡°okay. ¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to having a meal with my brother after a long time.¡± As a result, Sigmund¡¯s steps became infinitely heavier, but the sight of him struggling to turn his feet was quite sad. ¡°sepia. ¡°Let¡¯s take a moment to see the situation.¡± ¡°yes? Ah yes.¡± Dio stopped Sepia as she was about to leave and pretended to take her pulse. -Don¡¯t wander around and keep pretending to be sick. If the plan goes wrong, you may have to leave secretly. Was he writing a letter to Sigmund? Sephia nodded as Dio spoke in a whisper. ¡°Okay then, take care of your health and rest. ¡°I¡¯ll stop by periodically.¡± After finishing the fake medical treatment, Dio said hello to Sepia, who was leaving with the escort, and then grinned as he looked at Sigmund, who did not erase his wary gaze. ¡®They say they will treat you well, but they are probably full of intentions to interrogate you.¡¯ Just as Dio had thought, Sigmund began threatening him as soon as he arrived in the drawing room with him. ¡°Forget petty courtesy. ¡°If you have any complaints, do whatever is convenient for you.¡± Sigmund seems to have been hiding his coercive attitude out of concern for Sepia. His persuasion was not over yet, and Dio was also aware of the fact that now was the main episode. ¡°I was going to do that too.¡± Grumbling ¨C Sigmund was so angry that he roughly pushed out his chair, sat down, and immediately began the interrogation. ¡°Who are you?¡± Sigmund¡¯s question. They probably don¡¯t want the answer that they are congressmen from the East. ¡°The name Dio is used here. ¡°I¡¯m trying to make a living by working as a mercenary.¡± ¡°A mercenary? ¡°Do you have a mercenary badge?¡± In response to Sigmund¡¯s question, Dio thought of the A-class mercenary card in his inventory, but quickly gave up the thought. ¡°I was just about to make it. ¡°It¡¯s one of the reasons I came to River North.¡± ¡°Another reason is?¡± ¡°What can I do? ¡°I¡¯m going to travel around and visit big cities to pick up herbs that can only be found here on the Western Continent.¡± Even though Dio responded harshly, Sigmund continued to ask questions. -How did you find the warlock¡¯s den of thieves? -It is said to have come from the East. If it¡¯s real, can you prove it? -Is there any other way to completely cure sepia? -How can I believe that you, from the East, can solve the curse? Among Sigmund, there were some questions that were sensitive to answer. Each time, Dio gave his answer by elaborately linking it with the background that he had planned with Sepia as a congressman from the East. If it is difficult to answer even then, you have no choice but to insist. ¡°I heard you treated me once last time?¡± ¡°You know there are a lot of flaws in what you said, right? ¡°It¡¯s purely absurd.¡± ¡°well? ¡°I¡¯m a foreigner so I¡¯m not sure?¡± Sigmund, who could not erase his distrustful expression even after hearing Dio¡¯s answer, paused for a moment and began glaring at Dio. After a moment of silence, Sigmund asked what might be the most important question. ¡°Why did you save Sepia?¡± Why did you save me? Ah, this is difficult. But this is also the question Sephia asked. ¡°Do you need a reason to save someone?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sigmund raised his eyebrows in response to Dio¡¯s shrug of his shoulders. Was the answer too hypocritical? I don¡¯t know how Sigmund will take this. ¡°¡­To be honest, your actions are very suspicious.¡± After breaking the silence for a moment, Sigmund sighed and opened his mouth. ¡°It is undoubtedly true that you saved Sephia. So I don¡¯t know any more. ¡°The fact that he knows Sepia¡¯s condition even though he¡¯s not a wizard is everything.¡± Sigmund¡¯s question is reasonable. But isn¡¯t it possible to directly explain the journey of a level 10 warehouse character? ¡°Whether what you say is true or false, are you saying that you are the only one who can cure Sepia?¡± ¡°From what I know, it¡¯s common sense. Of course, I don¡¯t know if it is Luna¡¯s archbishop-level sacred power, but¡­¡± Sigmund is shocked at the words ¡°church¡± and ¡°holy power.¡± But this is also what Dio intended. Dio spoke first because he knew that Sigmund had bad feelings toward the Luna Church. ¡°¡­they can¡¯t believe it.¡± ¡°Still, you believe in me more than the church?¡± Dio chuckled, interrupting Sigmund, who was full of caution. Just as it is natural to go to a doctor when you are sick, it is common to go to a priest when you are cursed. However, from the beginning, Sigmund ruled out the idea of treating the cursed Sepia in the church. They must be worried that Sepia¡¯s strange ¡®talent¡¯ and strange power will be discovered by them and she will be accused of heresy. ¡°¡­.¡± Sigmund frowned and continued to think about something. ¡®Are you worried about which is better between me and the church?¡¯ Dio was busy worrying that Sigmund might make the wrong choice. The biggest problem now is that Sigmund does not trust Dio. of course. A strange man I saw for the first time. A stranger who came not from this continent but from a land in the far east across the sea. It is strange to even believe this. However, in order to get Sepia away from Sigmund, Dio had to become a trustworthy person whom he could trust. ¡®You must have ability to gain trust.¡¯ If you can solve his problems, you will be able to gain some trust. ¡®At this point, it would be the starting point of the Livernorth terror episode after Sephia was kidnapped.¡¯ Dio knocked on the table to attract the attention of Sigmund, who was in trouble. ¡°From the sounds I heard on the way, it seems like disappearance cases are rampant.¡± ¡°¡­It¡¯s true. ¡°What does that have to do with you?¡± Sigmund frowns, wondering if he is going to say something strange again. Dio smiled regardless. ¡°Can I help you?¡± ¡°what? ¡°What are you, helping me?¡± ¡°Even though I¡¯m like this, I¡¯m a former military doctor. They are also in charge of investigating victims. Have you ever heard of a detective?¡± ¡°¡­I do not know.¡± Sigmund frowned at Dio¡¯s incomprehensible words. Actually, how would he know about the Eastern Continent¡¯s system? ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t know. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m not stupid enough to say I¡¯m helping without knowing anything.¡± ¡°You say that as if you know the situation in Rivernos well.¡± Despite Dio¡¯s suggestion, Sigmund snorted. Even though River North is a large city, the events that occur within it are thoroughly controlled under the Order of Knights. How could someone from a distant continent know the true circumstances of Rivernos¡­ ¡°Back alleys.¡± ¡°!!¡± -Chaeng! Sigmund¡¯s sword occurred in an instant.

The shadow of a large city where many small organizations are intertwined with complex interests. ¡°You look like you¡¯re asking how I know that.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Inside the tense reception room. Dio, who was confronting Sigmund, whose alertness was at its peak, slowly opened his eyes. However, Sigmund remained silent and only glared at Dio. ¡°Calm down, vice-captain.¡± Dio, who slowly pushed away the pointed tip of the sword, stood up and continued speaking. ¡°Disappearance cases have increased recently.¡± ¡°The back alleys of River North¡¯s underworld.¡± Dio slowly circled around Sigmund and began to explain further to resolve his doubts. ¡°Where did the vice-captain start searching to find his sister? ¡°Maybe¡­¡± Gulp ¨C Sigmund swallowed his saliva at Dio¡¯s words, which seemed to be stretching them out on purpose. ¡°The back alley must have been destroyed five minutes before the opening.¡± Dio, according to Sigmund¡¯s judgment, was just a suspicious person who came across the sea. However, as long as the existence of the back alley was known, doubts about the unclear origin were no longer important. Why did Dio know about the existence of River North¡¯s troublesome back alleys? How did they guess that Sigmund would have raided the back alleys first? ¡®After Sepia¡¯s death, the first people to receive Sigmund¡¯s wrath were the back street gang.¡¯ Originally, Sigmund, who witnessed Sepia¡¯s death, began to express all his anger on the world, starting from the back alley. ¡®But Sepia is alive. If you think about the later story from Sigmund¡¯s perspective, you will have a hard time dealing with the back alleys.¡¯ After seeing Sigmund¡¯s sensitive reaction, Dio was convinced that his thoughts were correct. If dealing with the back alley had been easy, Sigmund would not have reacted so oversensitively. ¡°I can help.¡± ¡°¡­What do you mean? ¡°Are you an outsider?¡± Sigmund, who did not believe Dio¡¯s words, opened his mouth bluntly. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°I don¡¯t know where you heard about the back alley, but it¡¯s not a problem that can be solved that easily. ¡°No, before that, why are you, an outsider, helping us?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you reluctant to entrust Sepia to me because you don¡¯t trust me? ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m going to prove my abilities.¡± ¡°What skills do you have?¡± ¡°If I were to judge based on what I saw and heard on the way here, people were talking.¡± When Sigmund, who was dominated by distrust, took the bait, Dio¡¯s eyes lit up and he slowly began to explain his future plans. ¡°So¡­¡± The so-called back alley clearing operation. Even though River North is a big city with a powerful knight order, why is it leaving behind criminal organizations in the back alleys? Criminal organizations are like weeds. Even if you think you¡¯ve completely eradicated it, it keeps sprouting up somewhere. The same was true for River North. Rather than having numerous criminal organizations run rampant, it is better to have two powerful forces keep each other in check. The lord of Rivernos thought that was the best method. Dio explained the operation with this in the background. Dio¡¯s explanation continued for a while, and Sigmund listened to his explanation in silence. Eventually, when Dio¡¯s explanation was finished, Sigmund became lost in thought. A plan too detailed to be called a hastily concocted story. Above all, it is strange that a man who is new to River North knows the details of the back alleys. But¡­ ¡°I¡¯m not saying I¡¯m going to do anything bad, but I¡¯m going to clean up the back alley gangs for River North. Why don¡¯t you just trust me and leave it to me?¡± ¡°And what if you die? ¡°How do you plan on treating Sepia?¡± ¡°Do I seem reckless enough to risk my life to carry out an operation? Besides, Sepia is my patient. ¡°There is no doctor who would leave a patient behind.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, appealing to his sense of responsibility as a medical professional, Sigmund lowered the hand holding his sword. ¡°What do you want?¡± Sigh- * * * Sigmund¡¯s private office. While I was looking for Sepia, the backlog of work was left in a mess on the desk. Meanwhile, Sigmund, who had no intention of organizing his documents, sat in a chair and was lost in thought, pondering the conversation with Dio. A man named Dio. It was not an insight that an ordinary person could show. ¡®Did you say you were a detective?¡¯ Sigmund did not take his eyes off Dio, who accompanied him to River North. This is because Sigmund had a duty to verify that he was a human capable of saving Sepia, which had the curse mark engraved on it. ¡®Even if you heard about the back alleys in another city, did you manage to figure out the situation in the back alleys in such a short period of time?¡¯ A back alley dominated by two criminal factions. And Sigmund, who touched them first to find Sepia. The problems that arise from this can be quite troublesome. Even though the back alley is an underworld where criminal organizations gather, they clearly have the citizenship of River North. The reason the knights had been unable to clear out the back alleys so far was more a matter of justification than a lack of power. The lord¡¯s order was also taken. ¡®Can you solve this? ¡®That guy?¡¯ Sigmund recalled his first meeting with Dio, who received his sword. Movements that are free-spirited yet controlled like a knight. If you¡¯re that skilled, there¡¯s no way you¡¯ll be cornered in a back alley. ¡®He may have a bit of an abrasive personality, but it could be true that he is a former military council member who exercised investigative powers.¡¯ However, it was still difficult to fully accept the suspiciousness. Sigmund sighed deeply because he could not leave Sepia in peace unless he made sure of this. ¡°Phew¡­¡± How long has it been since you felt so helpless? Sigmund sighed and considered whether it was a good thing to help him solve the back alley. Among the things Dio asked Sigmund to do was to quietly watch whatever he was doing in the back alley for a week. I said I knew to his face, but I can¡¯t just leave him alone. Even if you don¡¯t intervene as promised, shouldn¡¯t you be aware of what¡¯s going on? ¡®We¡¯ll have to put up surveillance.¡¯ A stranger who may cause trouble in River North. If he¡¯s truly acting with pure good intentions, there¡¯s no problem, but if he just shows signs of being suspicious¡­ ¡®I¡¯ll have to find another way to treat Sepia in advance.¡¯ Sigmund began preparing to begin a full-scale battle with Dio. * * * Dio left the Knights¡¯ Mansion and was heading straight to the back alley. ¡®It¡¯s just as I remember.¡¯ Dio, who recalled his past activities based in River North, was filled with new emotions. A quest from a blacksmith who is having trouble supplying steel to the general store owner who asks for medicinal herbs. He did the personal things that everyday life gave him here in River North, and it was when Dio was just getting out of his rookie state that he became aware of the existence of the underworld. ¡°It¡¯s still the same here.¡± A place where shabby buildings are clustered in a corner after passing through a busy street. This is the border of the River North underworld, and even the guards do not enter here without permission. The back alley is a place where various criminals hide among the people of the slums and there are two major powers that dominate this place. The golden dawn of the moderates. The gore howl of extremists. The future of the back alleys that Dio knows is a process, but in the end, it ends with all of them being wiped out by the awakened Sigmund. I remember the situation before that, when the extremist Gore Howl attacked Golden Dawn and took complete control of the back alleys. Of course, after that, Sigmund gets crushed, but if you keep in mind that the situation is different now than then¡­ ¡®There is no reason for Sigmund, who confirmed Sepia¡¯s survival, to mess with a beehive for no reason.¡¯ At this point, it is unknown how the story of the back alley progresses. However, he knew exactly what was going on in the back alleys before being attacked by Sigmund, and was confident that if he took advantage of this, he could destroy them. How to catch a barbarian like a barbarian. ¡®The reason Gore Howl attacked Golden Dawn is because Golden Dawn¡¯s power has weakened.¡¯ After Sepia went missing, Sigmund searched the back alleys. The biggest victim of that incident was none other than Golden Dawn, and Gore Howl took advantage of the opportunity to act when its power was weakened. In that way, Gore Howl was able to unify the back alleys by capturing Golden Dawn. ¡®Not long after, he was destroyed by Sigmund, who went berserk after confirming Sephia¡¯s death.¡¯ However, at this point, Golden Dawn has only reached the point where it has suffered the most damage after Sigmund raided the back alleys. Here, Gore Howl will be waiting for an opportunity to strike the golden dawn. ¡®All I have to do is give him a little push on the back. Of course, to my advantage.¡¯ After organizing his thoughts, Dio smiled and headed towards a back alley that had a gloomy atmosphere due to lack of light. * * * ¡°Take a look. Auditor.¡± An old man with a strong physique opens his mouth. Although he was an old man with neatly combed gray hair, he looked as if he had combed out the ravages of time and was as good as any young man. The identity of this old man is Ludens, the Lord of the Golden Dawn. ¡®I heard he was run by back alley thugs, so I thought he was a bandit with a bushy beard¡­¡¯ Dio had only heard of Ludens¡¯ name, but this was the first time he had seen him in person. Because Golden Dawn fell before the players arrived in Rivernos due to the flow of the story, there was no opportunity to see Ludens. When we actually met and talked like this, there was no such thing as an old gentleman. That doesn¡¯t change the fact that he¡¯s one of the biggest criminals in the back alleys. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will speak well to the vice-captain here.¡± Dio nodded to Ludens, who did not lose his kind smile even though his power was weakened by Sigmund. ¡°Hahaha, I believed you would be a person who could communicate well. Normally, the vice-captain wouldn¡¯t have to apologize to us¡­ but thanks to the auditor.¡± ¡°no. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything. Let¡¯s get along well from now on.¡± ¡°I like it.¡± ¡°Hahaha¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± Dio and Ludence are smiling happily. As can be seen from the title that Ludens calls Dio, Dio currently holds the status of a special investigator under Sigmund. This is exactly what Dio asked Sigmund. Knights generally had the power to search commoners without a warrant, and Dio asked Sigmund for that authority. ¡®The information in the back alleys is also amazing. Sigmund is reluctant.¡¯ As Dio escaped from the Golden Dawn¡¯s Lair, he began to think about the future. ¡®It is no exaggeration to say that everyone in the back alleys knows what is happening in River North.¡¯ Ludens knew that Dio came to Rivernos with Sigmund. Of course, that fact was not the problem. Rather, it was only better from Dio¡¯s point of view because it made him more confident in the position of special auditor that Sigmund had temporarily given him. That¡¯s probably why Ludens treated Dio with respect from the beginning. ¡®I didn¡¯t know that Sigmund suspected me.¡¯ Although Sigmund searched through the back alleys to find Sepia, the moderate Golden Dawn had little resistance to this. Knowing that, Dio contacted Golden Dawn first. The conversation there was uneventful. A trivial story about how Sigmund will no longer be wandering around the back alleys. Of course, it was Dio¡¯s lie. It was understandable and suspicious to see Ludens always smiling and behaving kindly, but it didn¡¯t matter. ¡®After all, it will start with Gore Howl, not Golden Dawn.¡¯ As I told Sigmund, the only time you can stay in the city with Sepia is a week, so you have to resolve it within that time. ¡®The cornerstone for the day after tomorrow has been prepared. Now¡­¡¯ With shining eyes, Dio¡¯s gaze was directed to his warehouse located in River North. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 29 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 29Episode 29 Dio left the back alley and headed straight to the city square to find a warehouse. When Dio arrived at the warehouse, he did not forget to take the ¡®Essence of Flame¡¯, which was his original purpose. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Essence of Flame] Grade: Unique Level Restriction: None Description: A rare material containing the essence of fire. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Tiring! [Forgotten swordsmanship evolution condition #3 has been completed.] After acquiring the essence of flame, the skill window began to change as when condition #1 was completed. ¡®Since [width] was obtained with condition 1, wouldn¡¯t something have been given this time as well?¡¯ Dio looked at the skills with high expectations. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª 1. Achieve mastery level 100 ¨C [Complete] 2. [Width] Use 1000 times 301/1000 3. Obtain Essence of Flame ¨C [Complete] 4. [???] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- ¡ª Although the skill has not changed, the condition window has been updated to clearly indicate that the condition has been completed. However, for some reason, the effect of the skill did not change much like in condition 1. ¡®Oh, I had high hopes for nothing.¡¯ Dio grunted in disappointment as he saw the forgotten sword skills still intact. ¡®Condition number 4 is still unknown. I guess it¡¯s because condition number 2 hasn¡¯t been completed?¡¯ Dio decided that in order to find out condition number 4, it was important to complete all the prerequisites, so he put the essence of flame back into his inventory. Aside from the Essence of Flame, another important item is the level 100 equipment that can be worn soon. Dio¡¯s current level is 87, but as long as he reaches level 90, he can wear the ¡®Impulse Set¡¯ taken out of the warehouse. ¡®It would be nice to do some hunting in my spare time¡­¡¯ Dio¡¯s back alley work began from the moment he visited Golden Dawn. Since it would take two days to see the effect, Dio, who had nothing to do right now, decided to raise his level. ¡®You shouldn¡¯t stray too far from where Sepia is. Because there is a limit to the distance of the oath. If there¡¯s a good hunting ground nearby¡­¡¯ Dio immediately thought of a suitable place. ¡®I¡¯ll need a new mercenary pack.¡¯ I guess your level has now reached a certain level. Since it was possible to purchase a new, inconspicuous mercenary card that was not class A, Dio went straight to the mercenary office. ¡°What brought you here?¡± Dio nodded to the office staff who welcomed him and immediately explained his business. ¡°I came to register.¡± ¡°Please come here and wait.¡± ¡°yes.¡± Unlike guilds in small areas like Ebra Village, mercenary offices in big cities were different in size. From mercenaries wearing sophisticated and diverse equipment to merchants who come to issue requests. Occasionally, you will see mercenaries or nobles who appear to be at the B-level level. Dio, who was killing time by leisurely watching people, soon followed the staff who called him and started going through the registration process. ¡°What is your name?¡± ¡°This is Dio.¡± ¡°Would you like to register as a basic mercenary card through the crystal ball? Or would you like to take the test at the level you want?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s keep it simple.¡± Hearing the employee¡¯s words, Dio raised his arm and placed his hand on the crystal ball he held out. There are two ways to determine mercenary level. Magic crystals are basically magic items that can use a skill called [Emotion]. With this, you can check whether the mercenary card¡¯s grade is real or fake, but it is also a tool that allows you to check the player¡¯s ability and rank him/her. ¡®A grade starts from level 300. ¡®At my current level, I¡¯d be D grade.¡¯ Paat ¨C Brown smoke covering the crystal ball. ¡°It¡¯s grade D. Would you like to receive a mercenary badge appropriate for this grade?¡± As Dio expected, the employee judged it D grade, and Dio nodded. Of course, just because your level is low doesn¡¯t mean you can¡¯t get a high grade. If you want to get a higher grade than the crystal ball judges, you can take the appropriate test. ¡®Of course I don¡¯t need to do that.¡¯ Dio, who paid 1 silver for the issuance fee and received the D-class mercenary badge, smiled faintly. ¡°Can I receive the request right away? ¡°With this.¡± Dio handed the receptionist the request he had been looking at in advance. ¡°Are you okay alone? ¡°It would be better to go here with a party of at least two people.¡± ¡°it¡¯s okay. ¡°It¡¯s not my first time working as a mercenary.¡± ¡°Oh, you reissued it? All right. ¡°The request for ¡®exterminating monsters through underground water¡¯ has been received.¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Quest] Exterminating monsters in the underground waterway of Rivernos Details: Ratmen have appeared in the underground waterway on the outskirts of Rivernos. Take out the Ratmen and clean out the city¡¯s underground waterways. Reward: 10 Gold Mercenary Performance Points 50 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio is not short of money and has no intention of going down the path of a mercenary, so the quest¡¯s reward is just additional income for him.

They walked on two legs like humans, each brandishing various cold weapons and making cries. The so-called Rat Man. Each individual individual is weak, but the nature of Ratmen moving in groups of dozens makes them difficult for D-level mercenaries to deal with. however. Suddenly- Kieeeeek! When Dio¡¯s huge greatsword cut down two ratmen at the same time, the ranks of the ratman group completely collapsed. However, the Ratmen seemed to believe that their compatriots still remained and rushed towards Dio. Seeing that, Dio didn¡¯t even think about avoiding it and just smiled on the spot. Kieeek-! ¡°Holy Shield!¡± At someone¡¯s shout, a sacred shield appeared around Dio. Kang! Ratman¡¯s pickaxe did not even make a scratch on the Holy Shield, and Dio took advantage and kicked Ratman. puck! Ratman, who was kicked by Dio, fell down along with the others following him, and Dio, intending to do so, activated a skill. [Explosion] Quaaaaang! An intense explosion enveloped the Ratmen, and Dio, who was nearby, was also caught up in the aftermath. ¡°Dio!¡± A priest is startled by the sight of Dio engulfed in flames. ¡°I am okay. ¡°Priest Crupis.¡± Dio, who cleared the flames and appeared fine, waved his hand at the priest. ¡°Phew ¨C I was wondering what if Dio got hurt for no reason because of my request.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not weak enough to get hurt like this.¡± Dio waves his hand at the worried priest as if it is no big deal. Unlike the Ratmen, who were reduced to ashes thanks to the Salamander set that maximized fire resistance, Dio did not show any burn marks. ¡°Wow, you are really strong. Not only swordsmanship, but also explosive magic enough to break my Holy Shield!¡± ¡°Thanks to you, I was able to hunt in droves. ¡°It¡¯s definitely easier to clean up with a priest.¡± ¡°no. On the contrary, I am fortunate to have been able to inspect deep inside thanks to Dio.¡± Crupis was the priest of Luna whom Dio met at the entrance to the underground waterway. Wearing heavy armor and armed with a mace, he was a level 80 combat priest whose mission was to periodically inspect the inside of the underground waterway. ¡°I was anxious about carrying out the mission of the church on my own, but I am very fortunate to have Dio.¡± ¡°We¡¯re all about helping each other.¡± Originally, Dio wanted to carry out the mission alone. The mercenary office also recommended two people, but Dio did not see much merit in accompanying one D-rank mercenary. However, the reason why he came to accompany Crupis is simple. This is because the most efficient class in order board party play is the priest. ¡®Because experience is more important than compensation.¡¯ With the help of Crupis, the time required to clear the underground waterway, which would have taken half a day, was cut in half. Dio, who was able to save time, was able to hunt groups of ratmen that existed outside the scope of the quest. This more than made up for the disadvantage of splitting experience points due to forming a party. That¡¯s how quickly and so many rat men could be hunted. Crupis was also able to inspect the deepest part of the underground waterway thanks to Dio, so it was a good thing for both parties. ¡°I think this is enough. Even if we go deeper, I don¡¯t think there will be anything left.¡± ¡°Yes, thank you for your hard work.¡± Dio¡¯s current level is 89. It would have been nice to reach level 90, but with the help of the priest, he has already increased his experience more than he thought. ¡®Anyway, if I do business in the back alley tomorrow, I¡¯ll be level 90.¡¯ Dio, who had a satisfied expression on his face, waved his hand at Crupis, who was saying goodbye. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go first.¡± ¡°Yes, go first. I will go up after I figure out the inspection details to include in the report. ¡°May Luna¡¯s grace be with you.¡± Dio left the now safe underground tunnel first, and Crupis bowed his head towards him. Soon, Crupis was left alone deep in the underground water, and a short period of time passed. He said he would inspect, but for some reason he just watched the spot where Dio had left. Crupis, who was certain that he would not return, took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and scribbled something on it. ¡°He¡¯s a mercenary who wields a great sword and uses explosive magic¡­ I think I found this. ¡°Archbishop.¡± Crupis smiles as if he has been ordered to do something. The Luna Church issued a common mission to its attendant priests not only in the large city of Rivernos but also throughout the surrounding area. It is the pursuit of an A-class mercenary active in Ebra Village. Although their faces are unknown, according to the words of witnesses who witnessed their skills, priests performing missions in various places were always watching the mercenaries carefully. Crupis also did not have to patrol deep into the underground water with the mercenaries, but he approached just in case because he had a given mission. And Crupis¡¯ sincerity brought good luck to the church and crisis to others. Dio had no way of knowing these facts. After escaping from the underground waterway, Dio simply stretched out with a sense of pride at the end of a rewarding day¡¯s work. * * * Morning dawned and Dio, who woke up in the lodging prepared by Sigmund, finished a simple meal. ¡®There is still time left for the information to be delivered.¡¯ Dio, who was looking at the grandfather clock, realized that it was time and stood up. The place Dio headed after leaving the dorm was none other than a back alley. Of course, this is not the home of Golden Dawn that I visited two days ago. The place he was heading to was a shabby shantytown in the shadow of River North. ¡®This is Gore Howl¡¯s territory.¡¯ Dio moved forward, passing the beggars in the shantytown. Even though the beggars discovered Dio, they had no intention of begging and began to be on guard among each other. It¡¯s as if they are a gang of back alley gangs who are deliberately pretending to be beggars. ¡®It¡¯s all a lie.¡¯ This may be why a uniquely gloomy atmosphere was felt even though the day had not yet set. When Dio stopped walking, grumpy gangsters appeared among the beggars. ¡°This bastard is that bastard, right?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°The clothes are exactly as reported.¡± The gangsters said things as if they recognized Dio¡¯s robe and the huge great sword at a glance and started giggling to each other. ¡°Aren¡¯t you too proud to be a spy from the Golden Dawn?¡± ¡°You would be making a mistake if you viewed Gore Howl as easy as Golden Dawn.¡± ¡°Ha really?¡± Dio laughed at the gang¡¯s threats. ¡°Is this guy smiling?¡± The expressions of the laughing gang members darkened and each took out a weapon from their arms.

If the general public had seen it, they would have been frightened by the rough blades, but to Dio, he was just a child messing around with a toy. ¡®I was a little lacking in experience, but it worked out well. ¡®It would be much better to deal with these guys and meet the boss, right?¡¯ Dio stretched out his intertwined fingers and relaxed, and suddenly found a familiar face among the gang. ¡®Oh, was there a guy I remembered? The name¡­ I don¡¯t know. ¡®Your nickname was pair eyes, right?¡¯ A one-eyed man with an eyepatch over one eye. His loyalty was enormous, and I remember how Gore Howl¡¯s boss, Tusk, played the role of right-hand man with such special attention. ¡®Even so, I was killed by Sigmund.¡¯ There are five gang members currently standing in front of Dio. However, a gang of gangsters, who had already heard rumors in the area, could be seen approaching from afar. ¡°Where are you looking?¡± ¡°Are you thinking of giving it a try with us?¡± Unhappy with Dio¡¯s lack of composure, Gore Howl¡¯s gang took a step forward. ¡°I¡¯d like to talk to your boss¡­if it¡¯s the fastest way to get to the point, then so be it.¡± ¡°You bastard!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± The gang pours out their anger towards Dio, who is blowing out his fists. In response, Dio kicked the ground towards them without even needing to draw his sword. * * * A huge warehouse located in a shanty town. Unlike other abandoned buildings, this warehouse looked shabby but had a solid iron door blocking access from the outside. The person who pushed open the heavy iron door and entered the warehouse was none other than Dio. He dragged his bloodied eye and approached the numerous gang members waiting for him. ¡°Boss Bo, that bastard is killing our kids! Cough, the bastard from the Golden Dawn¡­!¡± Jakyun, who was dragged by Dio by one of his legs, cried out earnestly, but the gang did not show the slightest movement. Naturally, the gang just watched because their boss, who was with them, did not give any orders. The leader of Gore Howl sits on a soft sofa and drinks. Tusk. No, she was a northerner with a sturdy physique just like the larger gang members. Northerners, regardless of gender, who survive in the harsh and unforgiving environment live as warriors. Her orange hair was also a common color among northerners, and her size, which was larger than that of most men, gave an intimidating look to her opponents. It¡¯s not just about being big. The large and small scars engraved on her skin were like medals that allowed her to rise to the top of Gore Howl. ¡°you.¡± Tusk¡¯s mouth opened and Dio stared at her. ¡°Are you the Eastern Continent that Sigmund brought?¡± ¡°I had a hard time crossing the sea.¡± Dio and Tusk look at each other before a full-fledged conversation. ¡°I received my title as soon as I arrived. I heard that I stopped by Golden Dawn first¡­ I wish we could have had a good chat there. ¡°Why did you come to me next?¡± Even the fact that he was given the position of special auditor by Sigmund and that he met and talked with Golden Dawn. Tusk knew all of this, and Dio also expected it. No, it was intended to be expected. ¡°I received a favor from Sigmund.¡± ¡°Why are you doing him a favor?¡± ¡°mercenary.¡± Tusk snorted as if he was taken aback by Dio¡¯s grinning words. ¡°That handsome Sigmund hired mercenaries to catch us?¡± ¡°okay. Are you saying you have no cause or something? ¡°He asked me to clean up the back alley.¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Tusk let out a hearty laugh as Dio calmly accepted his words. ¡°You want me to believe that? How long have I been watching Sigmund? ¡°He¡¯s trying to solve the problem in Rivernos by borrowing someone else¡¯s help?¡± Clink! The glass that Tusk threw broke in front of Dio. ¡°good night. ¡°If Sigmund made that request, are you now declaring war on us?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing like that in particular. ¡°I am not Sigmund¡¯s subordinate.¡± ¡°¡­what?¡± Tusk frowned, not immediately understanding what Dio meant. In response, D.O. added additional explanation. ¡°Sigmund wants to unify the back alleys through me rather than completely clear them out.¡± ¡°Do you have the ability to do that?¡± ¡°of course.¡± Kwaaak- ¡°Kwaaaak!¡± Dio stepped on Jjaknun¡¯s shoulder, who was lying on the floor, and Jjaknun¡¯s scream echoed throughout the warehouse they were in. Dio¡¯s obvious provocation. Tusk is no longer just watching this. ¡°Kids, the conversation is over.¡± Tusk raised one hand as if he was responding to the provocation, and the gang who received the signal began to step forward. -Kill! -How dare you tell me where this is! -Show me your example! The shouts of the gang. And¡­. Saeaeaeek ¨C An arrow flying between the gang. Pak-! Dio caught the arrow before it reached his forehead. ¡®There are no three ranged wizards. The number is about twenty.¡¯ Dio, who broke the arrow he caught, smiled and pulled out his great sword. Unlike the gentle Golden Dawn, D.O. had already anticipated physical friction with them. Quang! As Dio¡¯s great sword crushed the group that was running ahead, the group that followed hesitated. It was an instant before Dio¡¯s great sword, with its momentum, destroyed the disorderly line of the gang. Cracking ¨C Kwagwagwagwang! In an instant, more than half of the gang became corpses. Only then did they realize that the man in front of them was no ordinary person. ¡°What a monster!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be scared! ¡°That guy is one guy!¡± ¡°Gagging!¡± Craddangtang! One of Dio¡¯s beaten gang members flew in front of Tusk. Dio sensed the difference in skills and left the gang members who did not attack easily. He lifted his greatsword onto his shoulder and waved his hand at Tusk. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the time to just watch? ¡°If all your men are killed here, will the balance in the back alleys that we have maintained so far be maintained?¡± ¡°Ha-¡± In response to Dio¡¯s continued provocation, Tusk grabbed the ax and shield that were mounted behind him. The ax and shield, which he preferred for close combat, were weapons that suited Tusk well, just as he was a northerner. Kang! Kang! ¡°Everyone get out of the way! ¡°I will tear that bastard to death!¡± Tusk, who was constantly giving off a gladiator vibe, clinked his ax and shield to give a signal, and the gang surrounding Dio retreated. Throw-Hack ¨C Tusk¡¯s lunge, which was intended to hit head-on without even thinking about looking. Dio also did not avoid her as she wished, but faced her head on. bang! When Dio¡¯s great sword and Tusk¡¯s sword clashed, sparks flew and the superiority of power was determined in an instant. ¡°Did you just go on a rampage with that much skill?¡± Tusk smiled with his teeth at Dio, who was being pushed away, and immediately swung the shield he was holding. Empty! Dio blocked Tusk¡¯s push with his great sword, but he could clearly feel that he was being pushed back in strength. ¡®It¡¯s not as good as Sigmund, but it¡¯s definitely superior to me.¡¯ Tusk possesses [Strength], a characteristic of northerners, and is a female warrior who can achieve strength and speed above the same level. Kang-kang! Dio was in a hurry to block the fierce attack, and Tusk snorted at him. ¡°How long can I hold out!¡± Tusk once again struck with his shield at Dio, who was guarding him, and swung his ax at Dio¡¯s head, who ducked to block it. ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± Kang! It was clearly an attack intended to split the opponent¡¯s head in half, but for some reason, Tusk¡¯s attack was blocked by something solid. ¡°What?¡± It wasn¡¯t a great sword. Obviously, a weapon called a great sword can be used for defense due to its large area, but Tusk clearly restricted Dio¡¯s movements. After hitting the great sword with the shield, he aimed for the defenseless head. Didn¡¯t he shout that it was over because he was sure that he couldn¡¯t stop this attack with his abilities? ¡°What the hell is this¡­¡± sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Tusk¡¯s judgment was not wrong. In a way, it was a natural result that Dio, who was inferior in physical ability, could not block Tusk¡¯s repeated hits. But¡­ ¡°What on earth have you done?!¡± Tusk shouted in confusion as he looked at Dio¡¯s hand holding the blade of his axe. Of course, Dio¡¯s hands were not bare. Ivory gauntlets that I had definitely not seen before the fight. The gauntlet emitting brilliant light blocked Tusk¡¯s attack. ¡°This is level 100 unique equipment.¡± Dio threw arsenic at the embarrassed Tusk, and from that point on, Dio¡¯s whole body emitted an amazing light. Tsupat! Dio¡¯s new equipment has been replaced all over his body, starting with his arms. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Impulsive Gauntlet] Grade: Unique Classification: Gauntlet Level limit: 100 Attack power: 35 Defense power: 96 2nd set effect: Strength +30 4th set effect: Strength +80 6-set effect: Strength +150 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª If you wear an impulse set of 6 parts like the Salamander set, you can get a whopping strength correction of 150. ¡°It¡¯s real from now on.¡± The level of Tusk that Dio remembers is mid to late level 100. And Dio¡¯s current level against him is 90. Dio, who had raised his level to 89 in the underground tunnel, raised his level to 90 by dealing with Gore Howl¡¯s gang. This happened through Dio¡¯s thorough calculations. If I hadn¡¯t been able to reach level 90, I wouldn¡¯t have done anything like confronting Tusk head-on. ¡°Huh artifact!?¡± As Dio strengthened his arm, Tusk was pushed away helplessly. The reason why Tusk, who was clearly ahead in terms of pure strength even excluding technology, was pushed aside. It was thanks to the impulse set. ¡°Profit¡­ Do you think you can catch me by wearing that artifact!¡± Tusk¡¯s cry of evil. But she also instinctively knew. This means that the equipment Dio wears is not just a cheap item sold at a street vendor. ¡°that¡¯s enough.¡± Tuong ¨C Dio¡¯s fist knocked off Tusk¡¯s shield and hit her in the abdomen. ¡°Gagging!¡± The Impulse set gives the player overwhelming power, as seen in the set options. Even though it is armor. In fact, Dio¡¯s power has become so strong that the Great Sword of Crushing is no longer needed. Even though it only took one hit, it was enough to bring Tusk to his knees. ¡°This¡­this!¡± bang! Tusk, who had endured the pain even with blood pouring from his mouth, stood up again and swung his axe, and Dio, who was surprised by this, took a cross guard. Tusk¡¯s attack did not pierce Dio¡¯s armor, but it did not completely cushion the impact, so Dio lost his balance and stumbled. ¡°Hwaaaap!¡± Tusk rushed forward without missing the opportunity. Those eyes were just like those of a berserker. [Defense decreases due to the battle cry effect.] A message from the system that Tusk has activated a skill. No matter how much unique armor you wore, it was dangerous to be attacked by it while receiving the battle cry effect. Dio twisted his body in the same unbalanced position and let Tusk¡¯s attack go. At the same time as Tusk dodged the axe, Dio swung his right arm and elbowed her in the jaw. ¡°Kaa-!¡± Even though it was a counter that entered accurately, Tusk endured differently than before. The battle cry had other effects besides giving debuffs to the opponent. It also increases your attack and defense power. This allowed Tusk to withstand one attack from Dio, and thanks to this, she was able to continue the attack right away. Kigigiggik ¨C Dio calmly slanted the ax wielded by Tusk, and a horrifying metallic sound rang out. A big move from an excited Tusk. Sigh ¨C Dio burrowed into Tusk¡¯s chest, grabbed her arm, and threw her to the floor. Kwaaang-! The sound resonated loudly, perhaps due to the combination of Tusk¡¯s size and Dio¡¯s power. ¡°Cough!¡± Facing Tusk, who was sprawled out on the floor, Dio began to apply pressure to her carotid artery with his knee. ¡°Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu¡­! ¡°Phew¡­get some sleep first. Let¡¯s continue the conversation when you wake up.¡± ¡°Squawk,¡± Dio said, putting strength on his knees, and Tusk began to struggle, foaming at the mouth. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 31 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 31Episode 31 Boom ¨C Tusk, who was trying to push Dio¡¯s knee off, lost his strength and his arm hit the floor. It only takes 3 seconds for Tusk to faint. Even if it has strong physical strength, it would be difficult for even a Tusk to withstand attacks using joints. ¡°boss!¡± After confirming that she was completely unconscious, Dio stood up and immediately turned his attention again to the gang rushing towards him. The remnants of the gang couldn¡¯t stand by and watch as Tusk was attacked. ¡°plaguy.¡± Pububuk ¨C Small daggers thrown from Dio¡¯s arms. Because they were not just simple daggers but rare-grade throwing daggers, their power was enormous. ¡°Gagging!¡± ¡°Kaaak!¡± Now that Tusk had been subdued, there was no one among the remaining subordinates who could be called Dio¡¯s opponent. Dio, who had taken control of the scene in an instant, sat down next to the stunned Tusk and looked down at her. ¡°Whoa, it¡¯s not that easy.¡± A fight that wouldn¡¯t have been easy if it weren¡¯t for the impulse set. Of course, the level gap cannot be ignored just because the item is good, but if the gap is at Tusk level, Dio decided that he could never lose. ¡°Can you say you have become stronger at this level?¡± Dio, who was muttering to himself, remembered the first time he was alone in Evra Village. At that time, I was impatient and worried about Raymond, who was much weaker than Tusk, but now he has grown to this point. ¡°¡­not there yet.¡± This level is just beyond the beginner level in the game. Dio, once again realizing that his situation had become reality rather than a game, shook his head. Even though Tusk has been subdued, there are numerous stronger enemies on the order board. In order to survive, you must run towards higher and higher places. ¡°I don¡¯t know how Raymond is doing.¡± Dio, who was waiting for the fainted Tusk to wake up, suddenly became curious about Raymond¡¯s well-being. ¡°You must be living well.¡± * * * ¡°Kwaaaaaaa! stop!¡± A scream echoes in a dark room like a dungeon. The owner of the scream was a mercenary. His entire body was covered in blood, as if he had been tortured numerous times. Raymond of Evra Village. It was the identity of the mercenary being tortured. He seemed to be out of his mind from the pain, and eventually he seemed to have run out of strength to scream, so his head hung down and he didn¡¯t even move. It wasn¡¯t just Raymond. The mercenaries who followed him were also tied to chairs and either dead or unconscious. Those who were suffocated after being water tortured, and even mercenaries who had their fingers and toes cut off, starting with their fingernails and toenails. All kinds of internal organs were removed and the blood flowing down was like an ocean filling the room. In a scene where terrible torture takes place that no human being with a sober mind can endure. Tap, tap, tap. The sound of heavy military boots was heard. ¡°Are you here? Scarlett.¡± A person who appeared to be a torture technician greeted a woman who came to the scene. Heavy military boots and a neat nun¡¯s uniform. In addition to the unbalance, the golden rosary around her neck seemed to indicate that she was in a high position. ¡°Did you find out anything?¡± The woman called Scarlett removed the pipe from her mouth and asked. It was an alluring voice that did not match the nun¡¯s uniform. ¡°I don¡¯t think there was anything more, other than the fact that they left in a carriage after the wave ended.¡± A torture technician with high military discipline. He was afraid of being reprimanded by Scarlett, so he tried to open the mouths of the mercenaries. The proof is that the room was filled with blood. Is it because he knows that? Rather than frowning at the terrible sight she saw from the moment she entered the torture room, Scarlett showed a satisfied face. ¡°What did you find out about the coachman?¡± ¡°yes! It is said that he asked about the situation in the empire. ¡°After hearing that story, he suddenly asked me to get off in the middle of Paramont Plain.¡± Scarlett approached Raymond, who was lost in thought and unconscious after hearing the information obtained by the torture technician. ¡°I guess it all boils down in the end to being loyal or something?¡± ¡°Yes, this guy was stubborn until the end and eventually threw up. ¡°As long as I can endure it, I guess.¡± Scarlett burst out laughing at the torture technician¡¯s words. ¡°Please save me¡­¡± Raymond, half conscious, begged as Scarlett¡¯s laughter filled the room. The pain that arose after numerous tortures gave him a fear he did not want to experience again, and it was like an instinct to ask him to save his life. Scarlett, seeing Raymond like that, began to laugh even more. ¡°Is this the loyalty of those humble mercenaries? ¡°Isn¡¯t it really funny?¡± ¡°yes? ¡°Oh yes.¡± Scarlett brushed the cigarette ash off Raymond¡¯s head and looked around at the other mercenaries who were dying miserably. ¡°If you stick to the belief of loyalty, the only thing that will come in the end will be pain¡­¡± The torture technician was horrified to see Scarlett trying to enjoy this moment, but he did not have the guts to show it. Squeak- ¡°Scarlett! ¡°The jeonseogu sent from Atra has arrived.¡± Another of Scarlett¡¯s subordinates came to the hellish scene and delivered the news. ¡°okay?¡± Scarlett accepted the parchment handed to her by her subordinate and began to read it slowly. ¡®The traces of the explosion are said to match that of Monster Hunter Monte, although the level of the mercenary is low¡­¡¯ The parchment sent from the holy nation of Atra contained what the priest of the branch experienced in the Rivernos underground waterway. Although it wasn¡¯t exactly the same, it had many things in common with Monte, the monster hunter whom Scarlett was tracking down. You definitely need to find it. ¡®It¡¯s Rivernos¡­ If we catch the guy we found here, we can find out about Monte. There¡¯s a chance it could be Monte himself.¡¯ After organizing her thoughts, Scarlett looked at her subordinates who were waiting for her orders. ¡°Organize everything. ¡°Let¡¯s finish this guy too.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Scarlett said, pointing at Raymond, and the torture technician who had been ordered approached Raymond. ¡°I told you I would save your life¡­¡± Raymond sobbed as he looked at the knife with blood dripping from it. Scarlett left that scene behind and trudged on, putting the pipe that had just cooled down in her mouth again and lighting it. ¡°I told you I would spare your life if you told me everything!!¡± Scarlett ignores the cries of a distraught Raymond. She had already lost interest in Raymond a long time ago. ¡°We are going to River North.¡± ¡°yes!¡± ¡°Oh, no. ¡°Ah¡­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!¡± * * * Inside the huge warehouse that is the home of Gore Howl. Inside, which was sealed off with a solid iron door, the corpses of Gore Howl gang members were laid out in a mess. Meanwhile, Dio opened his mouth while facing Tusk, who had just woken up, on the sofa. ¡°Are you awake?¡± ¡°¡­Why didn¡¯t you kill him?¡± Tusk said while massaging his neck and glaring at Dio. ¡°I told you, right? ¡°I came here to talk, not to destroy GoreHowl.¡± Dio pointed to the Gore Howl gang who were kneeling. In reality, Dio only dealt with enough gang members to reach level 90. If Gore Howl completely collapses at his hands, his future work may be disrupted. ¡°Conversation¡­yeah. ¡°What do you want?¡± Tusk is clearly showing off his skills and becoming obedient. Dio, who knew the nature of northerners who take submission by force for granted, worked well. ¡°As you know, Sigmund plans to unify the back alleys through me. But I don¡¯t like being a hassle, right? What will I do if I unify the back alleys? ¡°Are you telling me to take care of all that?¡± ¡°¡­Then shouldn¡¯t I just refuse?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not as easy as it sounds, so I¡¯m looking for a way.¡± Dio pounded the table in front of him at Tusk¡¯s blunt words. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°I like you. ¡°You¡¯re from the North, right?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°I visited Golden Dawn first, but they are not trustworthy at all. ¡°I knew at a glance that he was just a bat-like guy who kept his head down and would stab me at any time.¡± ¡°Kkkkk, I see what you mean.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Tusk nodded and agreed with Dio¡¯s explanation as if he understood. The first visit to Golden Dawn was a build-up intended for this purpose. Although he said he visited Golden Dawn without any reason or justification, he actually found justification by visiting there. This justification is that Dio¡¯s previous actions are like a great side dish in appeasing Tusk. ¡°You unify the back alleys instead of me.¡± ¡°what?¡± Dio smiled as he looked at Tusk, who looked surprised by his words. ¡°I will help you. ¡°You know what I mean when I say Sigmund is my friend, right?¡± ¡°Is that possible?¡± ¡°of course. ¡°For Sigmund, I will unify you and you will become the true ruler of the back alleys that you have always dreamed of.¡± Tusk¡¯s pupils began to shake at Dio¡¯s words. How she dreamed of unifying the back alleys. The reason why Gore Howl and Golden Dawn had been fighting over their wits was because their powers were equal, but there was a bigger problem than that. That is the existence of Sigmund. Even if the back alley forces were unified, the best knight in Rivernos would not sit still. This is because noble nobles would not want a dictatorial system. However, what D.O. proposed now was the best proposal that could completely solve the problem. I never once thought about leaving Sigmund behind. No, it¡¯s something I can¡¯t even dare to think about. ¡®Take Sigmund like that? If that happens, not only the entire knighthood, but perhaps even the lord¡­¡¯ Tusk¡¯s thinking circuit stopped at this unbelievable suggestion. Why hasn¡¯t she, who doesn¡¯t like to use her head, come forward until now? ¡°I¡¯ll show you how. If you do what I tell you, it¡¯s only a matter of time before you become the king of the alley. Instead, I should have my share, right?¡± Dio says that nothing is free. However, Tusk could not hide his excitement at Dio¡¯s greed. The scent of the same kind emanating from this mercenary man in front of me. ¡®This guy is real!¡¯ There are two types of people that Tusk believes in. One is a person who is greedy for power and the other is a person who is greedy for money. Tusk confirmed that Dio was both. ¡°The ratio is 5:5. ¡°It¡¯s just half.¡± ¡°Half of that?¡± ¡°I gave this a lot too. Instead, cook everything you eat without your knowledge. ¡°I will turn a blind eye to it.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Upon hearing Dio¡¯s additional words, Tusk¡¯s eyes were filled with greed. I heard that Golden Dawn is in the business of illegally distributing expensive relics. Just by taking advantage of that business alone, Gore Haul¡¯s profits will double. Moreover, it was clear that if he no longer had to worry about Sigmund, Tusk himself would be able to accelerate the business he had been doing so far. Tusk was a man who dismissed the idea of people trusting others as nonsense. The reason he came down from his hometown was because he couldn¡¯t understand the stupid people who thought that dying while fighting was the most honorable thing. People only believe in money. It was natural for Tusk to decide to believe not in the man named Dio in front of him, but in the money he offered. ¡°That offer. ¡°I accept it.¡± After thinking about it, Tusk nodded and Dio stood up, satisfied. ¡°Well then, I¡¯ll tell you how.¡± Dio went behind Tusk, who was sitting on the sofa, and placed his hand on her shoulder. ¡°The first one is¡­¡± Dio started, looking around at the Gore Howl gang who were paying attention to him, and Tusk also listened and swallowed his saliva. ¡°We are planting a bomb in the square.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 32 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 32Episode 32: Uneven Eyes was one of the most senior members of the Gore Howl gang. He still vividly remembers his first meeting with Tusk. 10 years ago, the back alleys did not have as many criminal forces as they do now. However, the barbarians who came down from the north showed overwhelming violence and united the back alley forces by force, giving birth to Gore Howl. The Tusk were not just violent barbarians. She had a charisma that overwhelmed the crowd, and her eyes were loyal to her, convinced that she was the true ruler of the back alleys. I certainly believed that one day, the Golden Dawn and the knights of Rivernos would be overthrown by the power of Tusk¡­ ¡®Boss¡­!¡¯ The pair of eyes glared at the Eastern Continent man who was being friendly to Tusk with a sly smile. That eastern continenter suddenly invaded Gore Howl¡¯s stronghold and destroyed Gore Howl¡¯s military power, including himself. What do you say then? Plant a bomb in the square? ¡°That¡¯s the signal. The back streets know everything that happens in River North. Golden Dawn will try to find out why the bomb exploded in the square.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Golden Dawn has already suffered a blow from Sigmund. Even then, the troops will be divided to investigate what is going on in the square.¡± Uneasy, watching the conversation between Dio and Tusk, thought it was nonsense. If they make such a fuss, there is no way the Knights of Rivernos will sit still. ¡°What are we going to do with the knights and guards?¡± Tusk also had the same question as the pair of eyes, so she asked right away. ¡°I will stop them from interfering. ¡°This also shows what kind of influence I can have on Sigmund.¡± The damn East Continent bastard is ranting. This is ridiculous. That Sigmund is turning a blind eye to a bombing that could endanger the citizens of Rivernos? Jjaknun thought that his boss would definitely not believe that nonsense. But¡­ the boss¡¯s eyes are unusual as he looks at the Eastern Continental as if he is possessed by something. He does not look like the charismatic back alley ruler he has shown so far. Eyes full of joy that I have never seen before. Those eyes that he did not show not only to himself but to any of his subordinates. How hard have you worked for her? The eastern continenter left after designating a place to plant the bomb. ¡°boss! Do you believe what he says? ¡°It makes no sense.¡± When the guy disappeared, the pair of eyes shouted. However, the only thing that came back to him was Tusk¡¯s bitter words. ¡°Shut up! The author could have killed me, but he didn¡¯t. ¡°This guy is a golden egg¡­ a real golden egg, different from the scum like you¡­¡± Tusk¡¯s subordinates, including the pair of eyes, were left speechless. No one could stop the East Continent who attacked alone, so whatever they said would not be heard by Tusk. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Moreover, even though the Eastern Continent could have actually killed not only Tusk but all of the Gore Howl gang here, he did not do so. This was part of what gave credibility to his words, and the surviving subordinates, except for Uneven Eyes, understood Tusk¡¯s faith. ¡°How long are you going to keep acting like this? ¡°These incompetent things.¡± Tusk shouted and the gang forced his injured body to stand up. ¡°Hurry up, the faster the better. Gather the kids outside and get to work right away.¡± At Tusk¡¯s command, the gang went out and the pair of eyes followed behind them. But I couldn¡¯t understand it and couldn¡¯t stand it. ¡®It won¡¯t work out the way you think. A guy like a swallow. I have to do it for the boss.¡¯ After going out of the warehouse, Jakyun gritted his teeth and took action with strong anger toward the Eastern Continent who had disturbed Gore Howl. * * * Knock- ¡°Who are you?¡± When Sephia heard a knock on her room, she closed the book she was reading and approached the door. ¡°it¡¯s me. D.I.O.¡± Sephia opened the door at the sound of Dio¡¯s voice. ¡°how have you been doing?¡± Dio took off the hood of the cloak he was wearing and greeted him. ¡°Yes¡­ I guess Dio was busy too.¡± ¡°It¡¯s going to be busy. ¡°Are you in any pain?¡± Although it was not against the rules of the oath, Dio still checked Sepia¡¯s physical condition after being away for a while. ¡°I can feel the distance getting farther away. ¡°The further away Dio gets, the more my heart feels tight¡­ Isn¡¯t this dangerous?¡± ¡°As long as you don¡¯t suddenly move away from me¡­ but I don¡¯t know what could happen, so I should go with you if possible.¡± According to the rules of the covenant, the distance allowed for Dio and Sepia is 1km. He was relieved now that he was under Sigmund¡¯s protection, but now that he leaves Rivernos, Dio has no choice but to take care of Sepia. ¡°I¡¯m almost done with my business here. ¡°There are a few left, but it¡¯s coming soon anyway.¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± ¡°Pack your luggage in advance. And goodbye.¡± Hearing Dio¡¯s words, Sephia once again looked gloomy. Looking at him, it seemed like he was still thinking about how to say goodbye to Sigmund. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. ¡°I will travel all over the continent, and during that journey, maybe I can find a way to break the covenant?¡± ¡°Can we do that?¡± Sepia¡¯s complexion seemed to have improved, as if the words she had tried to comfort her had had an effect. ¡°I can¡¯t guarantee, though.¡± Dio is willing to give her freedom if he can get her to break free from the oath except through death. However, Dio, who could not give a definite answer because he did not know what the future would hold, stroked Sepia¡¯s head. ¡°Before I leave the city, I¡¯ll give you a gift.¡± ¡°A gift?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°It¡¯s the most wonderful and beautiful sky I¡¯ve ever seen in my life.¡± ¡°¡­?¡± Sepia didn¡¯t understand what the gift Dio was going to give her was, but she couldn¡¯t bear to ask Dio, who left without much explanation. Squeak- thud. After finishing his conversation with Sepia, Dio left the room and opened his mouth as soon as the door was completely closed. ¡°okay. ¡°Do you have anything to say?¡± When Dio looked back, Sigmund was standing in front of him. ¡°I told you to just watch it for a week.¡± ¡°yes.¡± Dio looked at Sigmund¡¯s expression and nodded at his words. ¡°What you did over the past two days was truly amazing. But is it true that it is related to the operation you mentioned?¡± Dio immediately realized from Sigmund¡¯s words that he was watching him. ¡®There¡¯s surveillance posted.¡¯ This is not something Dio had expected. ¡°What are you going to do if you openly harass the two major powers in the back alley? And why did you go to the underground water? ¡°Did you need money?¡± ¡°Everyone has an idea.¡± Sigmund frowned at Dio¡¯s vague answer. ¡°Even if everything else is the same, I don¡¯t know what you were thinking when you entered Gore Howl¡¯s den.¡± ¡°Nothing happened?¡± ¡°Those guys are guys who don¡¯t hesitate to commit criminal acts. ¡°What were you planning on doing, Sepia, if you were to go wrong in such a dangerous place that even chivalrous men wouldn¡¯t enter alone?¡± ¡°don¡¯t worry. ¡°The story ended well, so I came back safely, right?¡± Although Dio said it casually, it was not at all helpful to Sigmund, who was worried about Sepia. ¡°If you think about why I didn¡¯t clean up the back alley myself, your actions are too dangerous. ¡°It was a situation where I could have ended up wanted.¡± If Dio becomes a wanted man, Sigmund will be in a very awkward position as he has to entrust Sepia to him. ¡°I know what you¡¯re worried about. ¡°I think a little more explanation is needed.¡± If Sigmund becomes anxious and interferes with work, Dio may face a difficult situation. Dio decided that it was necessary to supplement the details of the strategy he had first shared with Sigmund, and opened his mouth. A way to destroy each other in the back alleys without using your own hands. Gorehowl was fooled by the words that the knights of Rivernos would help him and thought that they would definitely move. Gore Howl will openly cause trouble in the back alleys, and the knights who witness this will have ample reason to catch them. After Sigmund heard all of Dio¡¯s story, his frown slightly eased. ¡°¡­is it. If we do as you say, we can catch them all. ¡°How do you know the exact time?¡± ¡°I will give you a signal. ¡°You move in an hour with the knights you have on standby.¡± ¡°signal?¡± Sigmund asked what the signal was, and Dio opened his mouth with a meaningful smile. ¡°What is it? ¡°It¡¯s a bomb.¡± * * * On the day of the decisive battle. For the past four days since Dio¡¯s altercation with Gore Howl, River North has been as calm as a lake. However, as the saying goes, before the storm, unusual movements between various forces for the day of decisive battle took place all over Rivernos. Tusk also thoroughly prepared for this day. To plant the bomb at the location designated by Dio, Tusk mobilized all the explosives GoreHowl had. They did not forget to deploy troops here and there in the back alleys to strike Golden Dawn as soon as the signal was given. After completing all preparations perfectly, Tusk headed to his hideout warehouse with several executives. The reason I arrived at this warehouse among the many warehouses was because it was a great place where I could see all the tall buildings in the square at once. Tusk sat down on a wooden box in the warehouse and drank a bottle of strong whiskey. ¡°Has time ever passed so slowly?¡± It was true that time goes as slowly as you expect. As of today, Tusk has endured what feels like an eternity in the mindset of becoming the ruler of the back alley. ¡°The Knights were the greatest obstacle, but I had no idea they would use Sigmund. boss.¡± ¡°okay. He¡¯s a very extraordinary guy. ¡°It looks like me.¡± Currently, the existence of Dio has spread as a new helper within Gore Howl. In fact, the proposal he made was like saying that he would partner with Gore Howl. In addition, the fact that Dio was connected to Sigmund had a great influence on raising Gore Howl¡¯s morale. ¡°Come on, guys. The dream of back alley unification comes true today. Now a helper with the same thoughts as us has appeared! Raise a toast to your big day!¡± ¡°For Gore Howl!¡± Golden whiskey flowed down Tusk¡¯s neck. Tusk recalled the ideals he pursued in the past when he was just full of blood. When animals die, they leave behind their skins, but when humans die, they leave nothing behind. ¡®Honor and glory? Are you kidding? So you¡¯re talking about barbarians.¡¯ Tusk completely agreed with the words used by continental people to refer to northerners. I have no regrets about leaving my hometown, where there was no room for development at all, and creating my own force in River North. ¡®A person¡¯s life can be bought with a piece of gold. I am a person who will go on to bigger stages.¡¯ There is not much time left now. With the bomb exploding in the square as a signal, Gore Howl¡¯s troops will attack Golden Dawn¡¯s main base. You can uproot them all, or absorb the remaining ones. Tusk recalled what Dio had said. -It¡¯s okay even if their resistance is strong. The knights will intervene then. -Gore Howl must preserve its strength as much as possible. Let the Knights of Rivernos take on the all-out war they want. To summarize, what he said was simple. Gore Howl¡¯s role is to be a flint for conflict. If you simply cause trouble between the Golden Dawn and the Knights, it will burn itself out and the Golden Dawn will eventually turn to ashes before the swords of the Knights. ¡®Perfect.¡¯ Tusk smiled at the perfect plan that had been prepared without a hitch. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 33 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 33Episode 33: A golden dawn that did not expect a bomb. And Dio said that he would report to the Knights that the source of this bomb was the work of the Golden Dawn. It was an exhilarating moment to even imagine the process of the two huge obstacles that had previously suppressed the growth of Gore Howl interlocking and offsetting each other. Tusk closed his eyes and slowly savored the bitter taste of the beer. Because he was from the North, where survival comes first, he was non-religious, but if he were told to believe in only one being, he would believe in Dio. Anyway, now there is no one to stop you in the back alley. ¡°Hey, pair of eyes! Why do you look so nervous? ¡°Come and sit here.¡± ¡°Yes old boss!¡± Tusk was in a good mood and sat down next to him. Even his face turned red, probably because he was pleasantly drunk. ¡°I know you¡¯re being cautious, but don¡¯t worry. ¡°Because the plan is perfect.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°All right. But you must not let your guard down until the end.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°This is why I like you.¡± The pair of eyes was more of a piece of advice to be careful of people from the Eastern Continent rather than a plan. However, Tusk was showing complete trust in Dio, so he could not understand the words of the pair of eyes. ¡°There will be no problem with the plan, right?¡± ¡°of course.¡± At Tusk¡¯s words, the pair of eyes looked as if something pricked them, but perhaps because of the hot alcohol, Tusk did not notice this. But she felt a dangerous twinge in her heart. This was something Tusk often felt when his northerner¡¯s unique sensitivity was activated. ¡®I guess not¡­¡¯ What happens today is like a cornerstone for Tusk to get out of the well of the back alley and head to the big water. Tusk had high expectations that he would get drunk, so he didn¡¯t think it was a big deal. The bomb explodes at 12 o¡¯clock sharp. Among the bombs installed throughout the city, the place where they used the most force was none other than the clock tower in the square. The towering clock tower was clearly visible to Tusk as it was the tallest building in River North. Tick- tick- Just like the past four days, I feel like time is passing by so slowly. Tick- tick- it¡¯s almost time. It will be a historic day when the fortress-like River North will burn and a cataclysm will occur. Tick-tap- something is strange. The sound of the clock tower¡¯s second hand ticking seems to be coming from right next to me. Could the sound of the clock tower hands moving in the distance be heard all the way up here? Tingling- ¡°Holy shit.¡± Tusk got up from his seat and swore harshly. No matter how different she may have taken a different path from the honor-oriented Northerners, she did not ignore her second intuition. Did Tusk¡¯s subordinates also assimilate to this and sense the danger? The subordinates also began searching the surroundings at the unmistakable sound of the clock. ¡°Boss Boss! here¡­!¡± The pair pointed to the wooden box they had been sitting on just a moment ago, and Tusk roughly pushed the pair and put his ear to the box. -Tick ¡°Damn it!¡± Tusk urgently tried to open the wooden box. However, due to lack of time, Tusk could not easily open the wooden box, which was tightly sealed with nails. thud! Tusk smashed the top of the wooden box with his fist and grabbed the gap with both hands to apply strength. ¡°Kwaaaaap!¡± Kwajajajak! Thanks to Tusk¡¯s strength, he succeeded in tearing off the box¡¯s lid, but his strength was probably too much and the entire box fell into pieces, raising a cloud of dust. As a result, while the view was blocked, the sound of the second hand coming from the contents of the box became even louder, perhaps because the noise-blocking box was completely gone. Was it fluttering inside the box? Tusk grabbed a piece of paper fluttering among the dust clouds. It was a note. Tusk waved his massive arm, cleared away the dust around him, and checked the contents. The note contained the following: -You guys are so bomb- At the same time, the dust cleared and I was able to look straight at the bombs filled in the box. ¡°this¡­!¡± It¡¯s not just the bomb in front of you. Dozens and hundreds of wooden boxes naturally placed in the warehouse. The sound of a second hand was clearly heard in the ears of Tusk and his subordinates, who were facing the situation. Tick-tick- tick- The second hand, like a countdown to death, stopped and the bomb in front of Tusk glowed dazzlingly. Burbububbung! * * * Piyuuuuung-! Bubble bubbung-! ¡°and! mom! Look at that! ¡°It¡¯s a firecracker!¡± ¡°I know. ¡°What day is today?¡± A spectacular fireworks show that explodes throughout River North City. People looked at the sky in amazement at the fireworks that started in broad daylight. Surprisingly, the bombs that Gore Howl installed in the clock tower were fireworks that had no effect on the city. Not just the square. The barrage of fireworks exploding all over River North warmed people¡¯s hearts. -Wow, it¡¯s so pretty! -What on earth is going on? Lord, do you hold events like this? -haha! Isn¡¯t this what the lord thinks of us? ¡°You have to watch this at night.¡± A man who looks at the sky calmly, unlike other people who are surprised and happy. ¡°Haam.¡± Dio, who couldn¡¯t sleep at all last night, yawned loudly. It was worth running around all night changing bombs into firecrackers. Gore Howl was so diligent that he almost didn¡¯t make it on time, but in the end he succeeded in replacing every bomb without missing one. Where is the real bomb? -Aaaah! There¡¯s fire! -It looks like the fireworks caught fire! -Call the security quickly! Among the people enjoying the fireworks event, Dio looked at the place where the ¡®real¡¯ bomb exploded. ¡°It exploded very spectacularly.¡± Dio whistled and slowly looked at the notification window that appeared the moment the explosion exploded. [Named: Gore Howl boss was defeated.] [71442 experience points were obtained.] [Gore Howl executives were defeated¡­] [3778 experience points were obtained¡­] . . [The back alleys of Rivernos have been cleared.] [Quest completed!] [Reward ¨C Honorary Rivernos Knights medal has been obtained.] [The level has increased.] Even if Tusk has strong stamina, it is inevitable if he gets caught in a cluster of bombs. . Dio recalled the eventful days of the past while carrying out this operation. Two days ago. Gore Howl¡¯s gang completed the task of planting bombs throughout Rivernos under Tusk¡¯s instructions. Centered around the central plaza, there are major commercial facilities, underground waterways, and numerous guild buildings. However, there was only one place that Tusk Ani Dio did not give instructions. That¡¯s the Knights¡¯ Mansion. Dio said that even though Sigmund was his ally, it was better to avoid places guarded by knights, and Tusk also agreed. However, there is only one person who disagrees with this. The pair of eyes did not want things to go as the arrogant eastern continenter wanted, and Dio saw through this. A person with too much loyalty is bound to act strangely. Jak-Nun¡¯s actions, prepared for death, were unstoppable, and Dio, who followed behind him, discovered the bomb he had secretly hidden. He was ready to risk death for his boss, who fell for his gray-lipped tongue. ¡°It¡¯s obvious.¡± Dio sneered while holding the bomb hidden by his partner. Dio succeeded in collecting all the bombs that Gore Howl had planted, including the pair of eyes. Dio assured that Tusk would want to witness the moment the bomb exploded with his own eyes. The best view of the clock tower in Gore Howl¡¯s area. That place was a warehouse, and the bomb was easily replaced to avoid the eyes of Gore Howl, who had vacated the base on Tusk¡¯s orders. Returning to the present, what the bombs Dio had changed into were fully visible in the sky of Rivernos. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Christmas Firecrackers] Grade: Event Level Restriction: None Effect: Carves joy and happiness into the sky for 100 minutes. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The event fireworks stored in one corner of the River North warehouse were doing their job well. Dio continued to look at the sky where fireworks were exploding and looked around the bustling surroundings with bated breath. Currently, Dio is hiding in the back alleys of the Golden Dawn area. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Cloak of Stealth] Grade: Unique Classification: Cloak Level Restriction: 20 Effect: Stealth Lv1 available. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio watched the movements of the Golden Dawn while wearing the precious invisibility cloak. As expected, Golden Dawn, whose troops were dispersed, seemed helpless due to Gore Howl¡¯s sudden raid. -Ugh! These bastards! -Ludence is over there! The leader of the Golden Dawn may not have been as strong as Tusk, but fell in vain from the swords of the Gore Howl gang. Dio, who had checked the entire process in detail, left after confirming that the one hour he had promised to Sigmund had passed. Doo doo doo doo ¨C As soon as Dio left the back alley, the knights who were already fully prepared led the guards through the back alley. ¡®It worked out just as I expected.¡¯ With this, the back alley clearing quest came to an end. The GoreHowls who were fooled by Dio¡¯s lies will all be arrested by Sigmund, who they thought was on their side. ¡®I hope Sigmund trusts me with this.¡¯ There was no damage to the city. And the simultaneous fall of the two major powers controlling the back alleys would be good news not only for Sigmund, but also for the lord and the people of the territory. ¡®I might be stubborn for no reason. In times like this, you need to move right away.¡¯ Dio tried to show Sigmund his abilities to the best of his ability. Nevertheless, it could not be said with certainty that it would have changed Sigmund¡¯s mind about Sephia. Because worrying about your family cannot be satisfied with anything. ¡®If you add Sephia¡¯s letter containing her firm thoughts, you won¡¯t intentionally try to disturb me.¡¯ Now that Sigmund is away to clear out the back alleys. Dio stopped by his room, packed his luggage, and headed to the Knights¡¯ Mansion to take Sepia with him. * * * Sephia looked out the window in silence at the fireworks that filled the city sky. ¡°¡­.¡± A wonderful sky that I have never seen before in River North. This firework, which lasted for over an hour, was more colorful and beautiful than any firework Sepia had ever seen. The last gift that Dio spoke of would be this very moment. Sepia looked at the letter she had written with great care. With this firework, Sephia felt that she had to break away from Sigmund. The sound of a door suddenly heard. ¡°huh? who are you?¡± Sepia, who had been hiding the letter, looked at the open door. But for some reason, there was nothing in front of the open door. ¡°weird. The door is obviously locked¡­¡± The moment Sepia slowly walks towards the door that is difficult to open on its own due to its structure. Slurp ¨C A shadow starting from the corner of the room. It moved cautiously, as if the shadow was moving on its own, and began to pounce on Sepia. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 34 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 3434 While the unprecedented fireworks event in River North was in full swing, Sigmund was cleaning up the back alleys that had been busy the previous night. ¡°Confirmed suppression of Area 1! Suppression of Area 10 confirmed!¡± ¡°Good work.¡± Sigmund nodded to his subordinate¡¯s report with an uneasy expression on his face, as if he was not at all satisfied with the back alleys being handled according to Dio¡¯s plan. As Dio said, Golden Dawn was completely destroyed by Gore Howl¡¯s raid, and Sigmund wiped out all of Gore Howl¡¯s remnants. ¡®I didn¡¯t think so at the time¡­¡¯ Sigmund thought that it would be difficult for Gore Howl to attack without end. But, as expected, looking at the body of Ludens, who had been brutally murdered by Gore Howl, he acknowledged that Dio¡¯s strategy had worked. ¡®The Golden Dawn is completely over. The bomb was also a successful success¡­¡¯ Sigmund witnessed with his own eyes a huge explosion in the Gorehowl area. There is zero chance of surviving that explosion. ¡®You have the ability. ¡®Is leaving Sepia to him the best option rather than finding another way?¡¯ Sigmund, who recognized Dio¡¯s ability, focused on dealing with the remnants in front of him. ¡°Are we in District 3 yet?¡± Sigmund asked, looking at the knights leading the surviving back alley gang. ¡°That part is also finished and we are on our way back.¡± ¡°good. Collect Ludens¡¯ body. ¡°As soon as the collection is finished, we will return immediately.¡± ¡°Sig Sigmund!¡± As soon as Sigmund could take his eyes off Ludens¡¯ body, the adjutant urgently called to Sigmund. Sigmund looked again at Ludens¡¯ corpse pointed out by the adjutant and was soon able to witness a strange phenomenon taking place. Push Sisik ¨C I confirmed that the pulse was definitely cut off. As black smoke spewed out from Ludens¡¯ body, which was clearly a corpse, Sigmund and the knights retreated. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°What is that?¡± Black smoke began to rise into the sky, and Ludens¡¯ body, which was emitting black smoke, disappeared without a trace. ¡°Surely you¡¯re a demon?¡± ¡°It¡¯s flying east over there!¡± The adjutant shouted, pointing in the direction where the black smoke was flying. That place is where the Sepia Knights¡¯ mansion is located. ¡°shit! ¡°Everyone returns!¡± Sepia was guarded by knights, but even so, Sigmund hurried out of the back alley. This is because no one can guarantee safety once traces of the ¡®demon¡¯, which brings disaster just by existing, are discovered. * * * I definitely thought everything worked out well. I easily cleared out the troubles in River North and took the items and equipment I wanted from the warehouse without any problems. Now all that remains is to take Sephia and leave Rivernos. But something was wrong. Why is Sepia, who is deeply asleep, in my room? Who can bind Sephia under Sigmund¡¯s protection? sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The perplexity and doubts did not last long. Behind the sleeping Sepia, a sturdy old man cleared the shadows and appeared in front of Dio. Neat white hair. sturdy physique. Dio knows that old man. However, the feeling I had when I first met him and the feeling I had from him now were quite different. An old man who exudes an aura of danger that is equal to or even greater than that of Sigmund, the greatest knight of Rivernos. ¡®But how?¡¯ How could that person be here? I thought he was dead. No, the leader of Golden Dawn, ¡®Ludence¡¯, who should have died. He opened his mouth towards me. ¡°Shall we talk?¡± Ludens, the leader of the Golden Dawn. The reason why Tusk was perceived as a ruler who was not stupid but focused on power and chased after money was also due to Ludens¡¯ influence. Ludens was an outstanding businessman, and unlike Tusk, he achieved his current position with a huge amount of money without having to show much force. Tusk¡¯s sense of inferiority and competitiveness led him to chase money. Nevertheless, in the main scenario of the Order version, Ludens¡¯ survival route did not exist, and after Sigmund¡¯s awakening, he disappeared behind the curtain. ¡®no way?¡¯ Was it not the dio player¡¯s mistake to think it had disappeared? What if he fooled Tusk, fooled Sigmund, and even fooled the player and never died from the beginning? Dio remembered Ludens, whom he had first talked to last week. ¡®He was clearly an old man who was weak and only smiled.¡¯ However, the spirit of Ludens before my eyes was reminiscent of that of a veteran. ¡®You mean it was all an act? What are your skills? ¡®Is it stronger than Tusk?¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes scanned the entire body of Ludens, who was standing reverently, and then took in the sleeping Sephia and the surrounding objects. Closed window. Table blocked. Distance from Ludens. ¡®The guy¡¯s power is unknown. If you go for it without thinking, you will get hit back. Besides, he¡¯s holding on to Sepia.¡¯ While Dio was distracted, Ludence spoke to him. ¡°I have a lot on my mind.¡± ¡°¡­Is there something I need to do?¡± ¡°of course.¡± Slap- squeak-bang! Ludens, who answered Dio¡¯s question, snapped his fingers and the door closed by itself. ¡®Are you a wizard?¡¯ Dio tried to move the closed door handle, but it didn¡¯t budge. A completely closed room. ¡°Start with a simple test before starting the conversation¡­¡± Pow! Dio, who had pretended to be interested in the locked doorknob, immediately turned around and the dagger he had sent was instantly stuck between Ludens¡¯ eyes. Twisted! Ludence¡¯s new form, which had been pierced through the head, fell backwards and Dio immediately ran towards Sepia. The dagger hit a vital spot that would have killed an ordinary person instantly. Nevertheless, Dio pulled out the Great Sword of Crushing and slashed it at Ludens, who was lying on the floor. Quang! The great sword pierced Ludens¡¯ body, cutting deep into the stone floor, and Ludens¡¯ blood was splattered everywhere. However, Dio still did not lower his guard. ¡®The magic on the door is still active.¡¯ just as expected. At that moment, blood splashed into the air began to flow into Ludens¡¯ body as if it were being sucked into a black hole. In response, Dio picked up Sepia and hurriedly widened the distance. ¡°¡­.¡± There were several reasons why Dio attacked Ludens first. He said he wanted to talk, but Dio couldn¡¯t believe him. If you were planning to talk calmly, why did you close the room? From the moment they blocked the escape, they decided that Ludens was not friendly and launched a surprise attack against the unknown enemy. And when I fell helplessly after being hit by a dagger, a hypothesis came to mind. If it survived by faking its death in such a way, it would never be possible to kill it with such a crude attack. Dio¡¯s prediction was correct, and Ludens, whose body was instantly regenerated as blood clots gathered, stood up again and pulled out the dagger stuck between his eyes. ¡°Your judgment of the situation is excellent. ¡°When have we ever met?¡± ¡°well.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. ¡°The child just fell asleep.¡± Ludence turned to Dio, who was looking at Sepia¡¯s condition, and said. ¡®Looking at the status window, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Sepia other than falling asleep.¡¯ If so, I don¡¯t understand it even more. Did that guy named Ludens really mean to test me? What on earth? ¡°He¡¯s good at fighting. Even though he is young, he seems like a seasoned swordsman. That¡¯s not all. ¡°You already noticed, right?¡± Ludens opened his mouth with an expectant look in his eyes, and Dio chuckled at his words. ¡°What do you mean? ¡°You¡¯re a vampire?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I thought you would recognize me.¡± Even though I hit a critical wound, blood covered the wound on its own. There was only one race within the order board that could exhibit such unique recovery abilities. ¡°The destructive power is okay, but it doesn¡¯t meet my expectations. Is there a problem with the equipment? Or is that all your power is?¡± Ludens accurately pointed out the areas that D.O. has not currently been able to reorganize. The Crushing Greatsword is considered the strongest weapon of its level, but it is still a level 60 weapon. Ludens, estimated to be a high-level vampire, is level 200 or higher. Unless it was a weapon made of silver, which is a vampire¡¯s weakness, it was impossible to hit him properly. ¡°why? ¡°Is there a good stake somewhere?¡± ¡°Your speaking skills are good.¡± ¡°Why are you still evaluating me? ¡°Tests and all.¡± ¡°Excuse me. But don¡¯t blame me. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the one who didn¡¯t listen to me?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t say it was wrong to attack the old man by combining kidnapping and intrusion.¡± ¡°¡­Haha fun.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s comment, Ludence¡¯s arm, which had been behind his back as if he did not want to hang out anymore, relaxed. ¡®come!¡¯ Pot! As soon as Dio prepared for the attack, Ludens¡¯ new form disappeared so quickly that an afterimage was visible. ¡®Quick!¡¯ Dio raised his sword at the same time Ludens¡¯ vision disappeared. bang! ¡°Tsk!¡± Ludens¡¯ arm was blocked by the Great Sword of Crushing, but Dio was still pushed up to the wall by Ludens¡¯ power. ¡°The response has been amazing. But what about speed?¡± As Ludens¡¯ sharpened hand blade scraped the great sword, an unpleasant frequency filled Dio¡¯s ears. Kagagagagak ¨C Vampires basically turn their claws into powerful weapons. All Dio could do was barely block Ludence¡¯s attacks, which he did not simply swing with his bare hands. However, even if it responded to Ludens¡¯ attack, it could not catch up with the clearly different speed. ¡°It¡¯s holding up quite a bit. But how long do you plan on holding on?¡± Ludens laughed at Dio, who had big and small wounds, and once again threw up his body and kicked his right side. bang! ¡°Isn¡¯t this place empty?¡± Ludens raised his arm, aiming for the empty space where Dio was trying to block his kick. Currently, Dio¡¯s left side is completely defenseless. Ludens knows. This means that it would be impossible for Dio, holding that huge sword, to block his subsequent attacks at his speed. However, for a split second, Ludens suddenly felt doubtful. Clearly, he was only focused on blocking. Even if it fought back, there was no way it could cause any damage to the vampire himself. But why doesn¡¯t he give up? What on earth are those sharp eyes aiming at¡­ Kwajik! Ludens¡¯ right field of vision was immersed in darkness. What happened now? Ludens was able to regenerate without any damage even when his head was pierced with a dagger and his limbs were severed with a great sword. But now¡­ ¡°¡­.¡± Ludens calmly pulled out the object that pierced his eye. ¡°This?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a shame. ¡°I was going to throw a bamboo stick.¡± Ludens looked around with interest, looking at the identity of the ¡®thing¡¯ that was suppressing his regenerative ability. The room was in shambles due to the clash just now. And I was able to find a broken table and a candlestick that had somehow been artificially broken into pieces. The identity of the object that suppressed the vampire¡¯s regenerative power was none other than a ¡®silver¡¯ candlestick. The mineral called ¡®silver¡¯ in the order board was not just a precious metal. The power contained in silver was similar to divine power and was considered a fatal weakness for demons, especially vampires. ¡®Was it shallow?¡¯ Dio, who had been aiming for this from the beginning, deliberately intended to create an isolated situation with his back to the wall and no escape. Since he couldn¡¯t keep up with the guy¡¯s speed, the only way to make the attack successful was to use a counter. But even if the attack worked, it didn¡¯t mean that he could be defeated. ¡®It¡¯s so fine. I thought it was an ordinary vampire, but is it a high-class vampire?¡¯ Dio gave his assessment of Ludens, who was just looking at him with interest. Now that we have realized that he is a being of a much higher rank than we thought, it would be reckless to engage in an all-out war with Ludens at his current level. For now, the best thing Dio could do was secure an escape route without confronting him. ¡®The door is blocked. Should I go out through the window? Or, somehow, until Sigmund comes¡­.¡¯ In the face of Dio, who was trying to think of a strategy, Ludens just smiled kindly. He was only briefly surprised by Dio¡¯s ability to cope, but turned his neck lightly as if to show that there was no damage from the attack. As strong as Dio had predicted, Ludens was not an insignificant opponent to the point where he could be injured just by swinging a silver candlestick. Clink ¨C As soon as the broken candlestick, which had suppressed regeneration for a moment, fell to the floor, Ludens¡¯ torn eyeball was instantly restored. ¡°Tsk.¡± Ludens burst into laughter as Dio, who briefly clicked his tongue at that sight, reorganized himself again. ¡°Hahaha! okay. ¡°I passed.¡± This time, Dio, who was planning to mark the silver candlestick and explode it, frowned at Ludens¡¯ reaction. ¡°So what? ¡°Do you know me?¡± Dio, who was irritated by Ludens spouting out words that he had no idea what he was testing in the first place, blurted out. ¡°Of course I know. You¡­¡± Ludence¡¯s eyes shine as he trails off. And one last word. ¡°Because he¡¯s a forgotten prosecutor.¡± Dio froze at Ludens¡¯ last words. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 35 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 35Episode 35 ¡°The village is in commotion? ¡°Did Earl Herrington like loud things?¡± A woman looks disapprovingly at the fireworks beautifully unfolding in the sky of River North. Scarlett opened her mouth, brushing away her blood-red bangs. The place where she is now is the Luna Temple in Rivernos. ¡°I¡¯m not sure because there hasn¡¯t been any reports. ¡°This is my first time seeing something like this.¡± A priest who answers Scarlett¡¯s question. He was none other than Krupis, a priest of the Luna Church belonging to Rivernos. Scarlett fell from the window and turned her gaze to Crupis again. ¡°okay? ¡°When you have a report on this ready, bring it to me.¡± ¡°yes.¡± ¡°Finish the report you were doing.¡± ¡°All right. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about the mercenary named Monte you mentioned, but after visiting the underground tunnel together, I confirmed that some of the characteristics match my guess.¡± Crupis began to report to Scarlet exactly the same information he had sent to Atra, the Holy Kingdom. ¡°So where is that guy named Dio?¡± ¡°The last confirmed location was with the Deputy Commander of the River North Division.¡± ¡°Vice-captain? ¡°What is your relationship with him?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t figured that out yet. ¡°The Templars have the highest level of security in Rivernos, so it may take some time to find out.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Scarlett became interested in Crupis¡¯ report. The scale of the Luna Temple built in Rivernos is by no means small. Nevertheless, the fact that the Knights had the highest influence over Luna gave an idea of the level of the knights. ¡°okay. I think I¡¯ve heard that the knights of Rivernos are the best. ¡°I think the vice-captain here said he was outstanding.¡± ¡°yes. ¡°Sir Sigmund values honor and has an excellent reputation as a knight of great faith.¡± ¡°It¡¯s about honor and faith¡­ it¡¯ll be fun.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Crupis questioned Scarlett¡¯s backstory, and Scarlett gestured that it was okay. ¡®How enjoyable it is to break beliefs. Whether it¡¯s Monte or anyone else, there will be many fun toys.¡¯ Scarlett, who was giggling to herself, left behind Crupis, who had a puzzled expression on her face, raised her head in surprise at the evil energy she felt for a moment. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Ignoring Crupis¡¯ question, Scarlett turned her gaze back out the window. ¡°What is there?¡± ¡°yes? Oh, that¡¯s where the Knights¡¯ Mansion is located. ¡°The tallest building over there¡­¡± ¡°Get ready.¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take a look at the face of the great Deputy Commander.¡± Scarlett stormed out of the room, and Crupis hurriedly followed her without knowing why. * * * Dio¡¯s mind became completely blank. From the moment Ludens mentioned the ¡®forgotten prosecutor¡¯, I didn¡¯t know what to say, so I just opened my mouth. ¡°why? Just as you knew that I was a vampire, I also know your identity. ¡°Is that really surprising?¡± Ludens smiled and sat down comfortably on the sofa by the window. Dio¡¯s head calmed down again as Ludens spoke comfortably, as if there was no need for further conversation. ¡®He is a person related to the hidden class. There were enough situations for people to discover my identity.¡¯ He could have known by looking at Sephia¡¯s state under the oath, or he could have recognized it by his actions to prepare for the ¡®cut¡¯ and ¡®mark¡¯ that he had just shown in battle. I don¡¯t know how much Ludens knew about the forgotten swordsman, but I figured Dio would know at least better than him. No matter how good of a player Dio is, being a forgotten swordsman is his first time experiencing this job. ¡°Who are you?¡± Dio¡¯s question isn¡¯t really about who Ludens is. The question was why Ludens found out about the forgotten prosecutor and what connection he had. Therefore, Dio had to dig up information somehow. Even though Ludens knew Dio¡¯s intentions, he did not respond right away. I just leisurely looked out the window. ¡°I am.¡± After a long period of silence, Ludens¡¯ mouth opened. ¡°We have lived for thousands of years. Even considering that he was a vampire, he lived a long time. Thanks to that, I was able to rise to the position of head of the clan I lead.¡± S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio was surprised by Ludens¡¯ words, although he did not show it. ¡®A lord from one of the vampire clans?¡¯ I thought he was a high-class vampire, but I couldn¡¯t believe he was a Lord. If you¡¯re a Lord, you¡¯re saying he¡¯s the ¡®Duke of Requilis¡¯ level who used the ¡®Flooding River of Blood¡¯. I thought they were just 200 level vampires around superhuman level, but they were level 350¡­or maybe higher. Dio broke into a cold sweat because he knew what kind of outcome Ludens would have faced if he had been sincere. ¡°If you are a lord, are the clans that follow you hiding in Golden Dawn?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. ¡°I am the only vampire hiding in Rivernos.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Ludens didn¡¯t answer, but just gave a friendly smile as if he was seeing something proud. Dio couldn¡¯t help but have doubts. The position of ¡®Lord¡¯, who leads a clan, is by no means a light one. If Ludens was such an important vampire, it didn¡¯t make sense for him to hide his identity and live in a human city. ¡°There are many reasons for that. But that¡¯s not the point.¡± Dio frowned at Ludens, who was still talking while looking out the window. Then, just as I was about to ask what was important, Ludens spoke first. ¡°This land has a forgotten history that goes back thousands of years. Forgotten swordsman. ¡°You too must have seen the mural and gained the power contained in its history, right?¡± Tiring! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Main Scenario ¨C 1] [Type: Class Quest] [I encountered a person who remembered forgotten history. If you complete all background knowledge, you can draw out hidden special powers.] [Reward: 1st class awakening] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®!!¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes opened wide. It was quite unexpected that the background related to the forgotten swordsman was unlocked through conversation with Ludens. ¡®No, it¡¯s not an unexpected situation.¡¯ Didn¡¯t you already know that as a class with a growth type, there could be quests related to it? ¡°There was a sacred age. ¡°Unlike now, when there is only Luna, the moon god, many gods came down from heaven and gave teachings to humans.¡± ¡°¡­is this a story about the Holy Kingdom?¡± At Ludens¡¯s words, Dio briefly recalled the story he knew about the ancient sacred kingdom. ¡®Among the branches of the main story, there were many stories related to the Luna Church.¡¯ In the process, Dio only knew that Luna was a religious order that survived from ancient times, when there were many holy countries. ¡°okay. Shin Seong-guk.¡± Ludens left Dio lost in thought and continued speaking. ¡°Even back then, Luna¡¯s power was the best. But Luna wasn¡¯t the only one. There was a god who was comparable to Luna¡­no, much stronger than Luna. He is our¡­¡± Ludens, who was looking down at the window, suddenly rolled up his right arm. Dio realized what Ludens was trying to show him. ¡°sun.¡± Tiring! [A scenario quest is carried out in conjunction with a class quest.] [Type: Scenario] [We found out that the forgotten swordsman is related to the ancient sun god. You must acquire background knowledge about this to proceed to the next quest.] The sun tattoo on his arm. ¡®That pattern! I¡¯ve seen it. For sure¡­!¡¯ Dio tried to ignore the system window that appeared in front of him and stared intently at the pattern engraved on Ludens¡¯ arm. The image the system showed in Dio¡¯s mind after saving Sepia. I remembered that in the video, there were definitely soldiers and flags with that symbol engraved on them. ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°We believe in the sun. This is a symbol for His believers.¡± ¡°The sun god? ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Dio, who had no idea that there was a sun god on the order board, asked. ¡°¡­I cannot reveal his name. Luna doesn¡¯t know that he is regaining his strength. Be careful too. ¡°It is no exaggeration to say that Luna is ruling the world now.¡± Dio blinked with an incomprehensible expression upon hearing Ludens¡¯ words. In fact, the sun is an essential element in creative works based on fantasy. However, in the Order Board, the cult centered its activities around the moon, not the sun, and there was no mention of the sun. At the time, players had questions about this and went looking for stories related to the sun, but couldn¡¯t find any clues, so they just did it. If you think about it, it¡¯s just a cliche. Because the existence of the sun god was not essential, he did not think much of it. ¡°The sacred age. The sun and the moon worked together to protect humans. But why do people only remember Luna?¡± ¡°There was a big war. ¡°A war unprecedented from the beginning until now.¡± ¡°It was called the so-called Holy Demon War.¡± ¡°If there are angels, there are also devils. If there are good gods, there are also evil gods. ¡°The gods tried to protect humans from evil spirits.¡± As Ludens continued speaking, Dio seemed to notice something and remembered the ¡®final chapter¡¯ of the order board. The Order Edition is certainly great as a game, but in terms of story, it follows the common royal road medieval fantasy. A story in which the player must grow up and defeat the demon king who wants to conquer the continent. However, the final scene that Dio is thinking of now is a future that has not yet happened. Ludens is talking about an incident that occurred in ancient times far away before the Demon King was sealed. ¡°The power of the evil spirits who wanted to destroy the world was great. But there was nothing they could do against the power of the sun.¡± Dio also knew that the existence of the Demon King, who decorates the final phase, is an evil spirit who has been sealed since ancient times, waiting to be resurrected. However, no details have been revealed about how it was sealed. Since the detailed story was now coming out of Ludence¡¯s mouth, Dio concentrated on what he was saying. ¡°Surely the victory of the sun is just around the corner. ¡°The moon became jealous when it saw that.¡± Ludens trailed off for a moment, perhaps reminiscing about the long past. ¡°The jealousy of a being called God is on a different level from the jealousy of humans. In the end, the situation changed drastically. The Demon King was eventually sealed, but the sun was obscured by the moon.¡± Ludens¡¯ words were not difficult. To put it simply, it was a story about Luna, the moon god, betraying the sun god. ¡°The sun has been forgotten. Luna pursued all records related to the sun and those who worshiped light to the end and erased all traces.¡± ¡°Then how are you alive? ¡°No, even if you¡¯re alive, you¡¯re a demon, right?¡± Dio, who had been listening in silence, could not bear it anymore and asked. Ludens is clearly a vampire. Moreover, this road is like living history. Dio couldn¡¯t understand why he, who had the symbol of the sun, was living the life of a demon. ¡°I was cursed. Who do you think Luna joined hands with?¡± Ludens stared into Dio¡¯s eyes. ¡°You asked who I was? I am Cardinal ¡®Simon¡¯. ¡°It is my past that is now forgotten.¡± Ludens is now living quietly in a world of darkness. He was once a saint who used the brilliant light of the sun to save many people and guide them to the path of the sun. ¡°Luna borrowed the power of the Demon King to capture the sun, and on the other hand, she encouraged the sun to seal the Demon King.¡± The Sun and the Demon King fell at the same time, and in the end, Luna was the final winner of the muddy Holy Demon War. ¡°The surviving children of the sun are all cursed like me. ¡°In a state where you can neither live nor die.¡± Those words reminded Dio. ¡®Death Knight of the Forgotten Temple!¡¯ Dio, who remembered the starting point of acquiring the class of forgotten swordsman, was able to easily guess that Death Knight was also a follower of the sun. ¡°The sun has lost its power, so we cannot use its full power. But the sense of duty remained.¡± Solari¡¯s followers have been waiting with bated breath for thousands of years, waiting for an opportunity. And after a long time, Ludens found an opportunity¡­ ¡°Sepia.¡± ¡°The power that child uses. That¡¯s for sure¡­¡± Ludens turned around and focused his gaze on the sleeping Sephia. ¡°It was the power of the sun.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 36 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 36Episode 36 Dio couldn¡¯t immediately understand Ludens¡¯ words, so he just blinked for a few seconds. ¡®That was divine power?¡¯ The unknown power that the unconscious Sephia showed was not magic. It was surprising in many ways. ¡°I have been watching Sepia for a long time. ¡°I never thought something like that would happen while I was away¡­¡± The series of events Ludens was referring to was Sepia¡¯s kidnapping. ¡°It may be my mistake, but there are regular meetings among the surviving believers.¡± Ludens acknowledged his mistake but added the reason why he had no choice but to leave. ¡°But I guess that¡¯s why you, who was called by him, were able to come here and meet me, right?¡± The words of Ludens, who was convinced that Dio was a messenger called by the sun god. ¡°The alien power you have. Who do you think gave it to you? ¡°This is possible because I received His grace like Sepia.¡± In fact, I was just guided by the ¡®system¡¯, but Ludens¡¯ words are not entirely wrong. To be honest, isn¡¯t the system no different from the god of the game world? ¡®Maybe¡­my being trapped in the game has something to do with God.¡¯ Either the system or God. Whatever it was, Ludens noticed that Dio was moving on a quest. From that alone, Dio could tell that Ludens was a character that deviated from common sense. ¡®The things we have done so far. Is this really what the sun god intended? Or is it simply a coincidence created by the system?¡¯ Dio had a lot of things he wanted to ask him, but he raised his head when he heard a commotion outside. -Search the mansion immediately! -Find sepia! Was it because the battle with Ludens was so intense? A loud cry was heard from Sigmund, who realized that someone had broken into the mansion. However, Ludens, looking down at this, still remained relaxed. ¡°Sigmund is coming. Unfortunately, the conversation ends here. There may be a lot of things I want to ask, but I will find out naturally. If you¡¯re curious, find out for yourself. First, if you go to Estel Room, my close friend will be there. ¡°It would be best to go there first.¡± Ludens met Dio¡¯s gaze and nodded briefly. ¡°It was a short meeting, but it was a useful time. Please follow His revelation without doubt.¡± Thump thump! -shit! The door won¡¯t open! -continue! At the same time as the commotion outside, Ludens¡¯ new form began to disturb and soon turned into black smoke, and he uttered his last words. ¡°The sun will rise again.¡± ¡°for a moment! So you asked me to do something¡­.¡± Bang bang bang! Dio shouted urgently, but all he heard was the sound of the door being smashed down. Kwasik-! The door was smashed, and Sigmund and his knights rushed in. However, in the room, only Sepia, who was sleeping, and Dio, who was standing there, could be seen. ¡°sepia!? D.I.O! ¡°What happened?¡± Sigmund, who looked at the messed up room and the sleeping Sepia, urged Dio. However, despite Sigmund¡¯s question, Dio could not take his eyes off the place where Ludens disappeared and just stared at the system window that had surfaced again. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Main Quest-1] ¨C In progress [We discovered the existence of a forgotten believer who survived thousands of years ago. Find them and find out the history behind the forgotten swordsman.] [Reward: 1st class awakening] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª * * * ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± Dio wrapped his arms around his hungry stomach and held on to the iron bars that were imprisoning him. ¡°Hey, I have to give you food.¡± ¡°Quiet.¡± Boom! The lowest-ranking knight in Rivernos, who performed the duties of a prison guard, hit the bars hard, causing Dio to sigh and sit back down in the corner. The explanation as to why Dio is locked in the dungeon of the Rivernos Knights¡¯ mansion is simple. Many people heard the news that a demon had appeared in Rivernos and saw his movements heading towards the knights¡¯ mansion. And although Sigmund and the knights did not see Ludens, they saw Dio¡¯s room in disarray and Sepia sleeping, implicating him with the demons and arresting him. It¡¯s not that Dio didn¡¯t defend himself. However, since he is involved with the demons, it is impossible to just trust his words and leave him alone. Even though he was indebted to Sephia¡¯s treatment, detaining Dio was a natural duty for Sigmund, who held the position of deputy knight commander. ¡®It¡¯s really twisted.¡¯ Because Dio was innocent, he accepted the Templars¡¯ arrest, but the situation was not so good. I know that Vampire Lord Ludens is friendly towards me. But that was the problem. Even if Dio killed him for his own safety, it was enough for him to see himself as a ally of the demons, as he had not suffered any wounds in the bloody battle with the demons. ¡®Damn you. Are you going to take a poop and throw it away?¡¯ Dio gritted his teeth as he remembered Ludens, who did things without thinking about what happened next. ¡®It would be a big problem if we got caught up in heresy.¡¯ Dio knew better than anyone else that being involved in heresy in the Order would not lead to good results. As I was thinking about how to avoid this situation, I heard someone approaching through the bars. The person who came to the prison was none other than Sigmund, Vice Commander of the River North Knights. ¡°Loyalty! ¡°Nothing more than working!¡± A knight¡¯s shout was heard as he appeared. Gesturing lightly, Sigmund approached the prison where Dio was imprisoned and opened his mouth. ¡°I will take charge of his interrogation. ¡°Would you please leave for a moment?¡± ¡°yes!¡± The knight who saluted went out of the prison, leaving Dio and Sigmund alone in the dungeon. ¡°Isn¡¯t that too much? Still, I think he is a benefactor.¡± ¡°¡­D.I.O.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s complaints, Sigmund softly called his name. ¡°why?¡± ¡°The situation is not good.¡± ¡°Thank you so much for reminding me of the obvious truth.¡± Dio sarcastically responded to Sigmund¡¯s serious words. ¡°I am sorry for detaining you. But there were a lot of eyes watching.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio was secretly surprised by Sigmund¡¯s apology. The reason Dio is currently imprisoned is because he was involved with demons¡­ Seeing him apologize first, it seemed like Sigmund believed to some extent that Dio was innocent. Or there is another reason. ¡°Luna¡¯s messenger came after hearing the commotion yesterday.¡± ¡°what?¡± Dio¡¯s eyes opened wide at Sigmund¡¯s words, and he realized that he wasn¡¯t talking about himself when he said the situation was not good. ¡°Do you know a mercenary named Monte who has been active in Evra Village recently?¡± ¡°¡­uh?¡± Dio, who had no idea that Sigmund would hear about Monte¡¯s existence, opened his mouth. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you have to do with that mercenary. But Luna is tracking him. And¡­I¡¯m also curious about your fate as it involves a huge explosion demon.¡± Sigmund, not paying attention to Dio¡¯s reaction, continued speaking quickly. ¡°The problem is that sepia is also involved. I don¡¯t know what your identity is. But¡­the only option I have now is you.¡± His words about choosing the lesser evil rather than the worst. Sigmund told the story that Luna¡¯s messenger requested an interrogation of Dio and Sepia, who were at the scene of the incident, and that he refused for fear of revealing Sepia¡¯s unusual abilities to them. ¡°You¡¯re screwed.¡± Even for the Rivernos Knights, it is very dangerous to disobey the Luna Church¡¯s request. It will not be possible to avoid the eyes of the church until the end. ¡°Sepia¡¯s condition has worsened. Perhaps he used that unknown power. ¡°I¡¯ve had this happen a few times in the past, but it was severe.¡± ¡°okay?¡± Sepia said he had run away a few times in the past. He said that every time, his brother stepped in to help resolve the issue, but this case will not be easy to overcome. ¡°Luna¡¯s eyes are looking across all of Rivernos. ¡°From the moment I refused their request, they started moving.¡± Sigmund grabbed the lock that secured the prison door and gave it a strong squeeze. Crackling ¨C the lock shattered into pieces. Dio, who realized Sigmund¡¯s intention, clicked his tongue. ¡°You won¡¯t be safe either, right?¡± The identity of Monte, who is being pursued by Luna, can be hidden. However, due to the explosion and the involvement of demons, even Dio¡¯s original identity became dangerous. To be honest, Dio thought the Luna Church was the player¡¯s ally until he talked to Ludens. However, there is something I heard from Ludens. Whether Ludens¡¯ words were true or false, Dio had no choice but to be wary of Luna, and their pursuit felt like a death sentence to Dio. If the existence of the saintess ¡®Kalayna¡¯, who was the de facto leader of the Luna Church and the player¡¯s best mate, turns into an enemy¡­ ¡®Gulp.¡¯ Dio, who felt terrible just thinking about it, swallowed his saliva. ¡°If sepia catches their eye, it¡¯s the end. I do not have time. I will stop them as much as I can¡­¡± ¡°Vice-captain!¡± Outside the prison, Sigmund¡¯s subordinate urgently called to him. Sigmund quickly blocked the knight who was trying to enter the prison to hide that the lock had been broken. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°They¡­the people of Luna¡¯s Holy Emperor!¡± Sigmund, who could guess what the knight was going to say even without hearing anything, quickly nodded. ¡°i get it. ¡°I¡¯ll follow you soon.¡± Sigmund, who sensed that what was coming was finally coming, sent the knight out and turned around to look at Dio, who was still in prison. ¡°Sephia moved into my room. Sepia¡­¡± Sigmund bit his lower lip, raised his head up, looked at the floor again, and looked straight into Dio¡¯s eyes as if he had made up his mind. ¡°Fucking fast. ¡°Take her and leave Rivernos immediately.¡± S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°¡­.¡± Dio looked for his weapon, which had been confiscated at Sigmund¡¯s sincere request. As Sigmund said, there is no time. If they were people from Seonghwangcheong, they would definitely be Heresy Inquisitors. Even if it¡¯s because of Sepia, Sigmund will do his best to stop them, but¡­ Sigmund is strong, but since he hasn¡¯t taken the Inquisitor route, you can¡¯t be at ease. Dio hurried out of the prison. * * * The group of soldiers who occupied the barracks in Rivernos were not ordinary soldiers, nor were they private soldiers from Livernos. The reason why they were able to demonstrate armed force within the city even though they did not belong to River North could be seen from the flag they raised. A blue flag with Luna¡¯s moon engraved on it. They were a group dispatched directly from Luna¡¯s Holy Emperor¡¯s Office with the sole purpose of eradicating heresy. They soon gathered in front of the knights¡¯ mansion. ¡°Listen! ¡°In the name of the benevolent moon, I will conduct an investigation throughout Rivernos.¡± Among the paladins standing neatly, one of Luna¡¯s priests spoke on their behalf. However, the drivers did not get out of the way, citing the leader¡¯s permission as the reason. As a result of this, a scuffle broke out, and someone opened their mouth. ¡°Move.¡± The person who uttered an insult roughly pushed the bride away and kicked the knight who was blocking his path in the abdomen. puck! ¡°Keuuk!¡± ¡°What are you doing? ¡°I won¡¯t forgive any more rudeness than this, even if it comes from Seonghwangcheong!¡± ¡°Forgiveness?¡± The one who stepped forward took off his helmet to stop the other enraged knights by putting his hand on the scabbard. Fiery red hair flowed out, revealing a woman¡¯s face with a cynical smile. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 37 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 37Episode 37 The woman¡¯s outfit was the same style of armor as that of the Holy Knight, but unlike them, she had a red cape. Luna¡¯s five swords. An interrogator whose name means crazy, violent and cruel. Heretic Questioner Scarlett. The Rivernos knights swallowed their saliva at the dangerous scent she gave off. ¡°Ha¡­ How dare you stand in the way of the saint¡¯s representative and say the word ¡®forgiveness¡¯? Forgiveness is a word we judge and act upon.¡± Scarlett¡¯s threats silenced all the knights. Even the knights of Rivernos could not hastily block the existence of the Heresy Inquisitor who was capable of summary judgment. ¡°But¡­ it is strictly prohibited to investigate the knights¡¯ homes without permission from the lord and leader¡­¡± ¡°Even if I tell you this, you won¡¯t understand. Am I crazy? Does Rivernos elect deaf people as knights?¡± Although she felt more intimidated than at first, Scarlett still scratched her head at the Rivernos knights who seemed to have no intention of getting out of the way. The Rivernos knights who valued honor blushed at her insulting remarks. ¡°What did you say just now? No matter how noble a person is, insulting a knight is¡­¡± Ping ¨C Scarlett¡¯s short sword cuts through the wind. No one present dared to see or notice the trajectory of Scarlett¡¯s weapon. The red-colored blade was beautifully curved, and bright red blood spurted out like a fountain from the knight¡¯s neck where the blade passed. ¡°Kruk-¡± The knight grabbed her neck and looked at Scarlett with disbelieving eyes. He had no idea that he would swing his weapon without warning in the middle of the Rivernos knights¡¯ garrison, with all the knights watching. ¡°Gagging.¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± The knights of Rivernos took Scarlet¡¯s strike as a declaration of war and drew their weapons. However, Scarlett, who was still responding cynically to the knights¡¯ increasingly harsh reactions, relaxed her arms holding her sword and raised her shoulders. ¡°aha? As an inquisitor, I only punished him. ¡°Do you still think I¡¯m joking?¡± Scarlett wiped the blood off the tip of the knife and glanced at the crowd once again. ¡°All I want is two people. A person called the deputy commander¡¯s younger sister and a person from the Eastern Continent next to her. It is said that it can be easily resolved if only their personal information is handed over. But if you refuse even if I say this¡­¡± Scarlett¡¯s smile is so creepy that it gives you goosebumps. ¡°We will carry out the execution ceremony.¡± The knights all fell silent as Scarlet continued speaking softly. The knights were silent. It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re from the East Continent, but if you don¡¯t hand over the vice-captain¡¯s younger sister, the entire order of knights could die right here. The optical interrogator remained like that. Among the knights who dared not challenge her optics, only one person shouted. ¡°stop!¡± ¡°Vice-captain!¡± After receiving the report, Sigmund came out in a hurry and everyone¡¯s eyes turned to him. ¡°No one should move without my orders!¡± He calmed the Rivernos knights, who were enraged by Scarlett¡¯s attack, with just one word. ¡°aha?¡± Sigmund, whom I had only heard about in words. Scarlett looked at Sigmund with interest as the Livernos Knights¡¯ vitality revived just by his appearance. Sigmund, who was not paying attention to Scarlett¡¯s gaze, opened his mouth as he looked at the knight¡¯s wounds inflicted by her. ¡°Hurry and evacuate.¡± ¡°yes!¡± Only after sending away the wounded knight did Sigmund turn to face Scarlett, who was the first to open her mouth to him. ¡°okay. The rumored knight is you? ¡°You said you were actually leading the knights, right?¡± ¡°The leader is away. ¡°Right now, I¡¯m just acting as an assistant manager.¡± In fact, Scarlett¡¯s words were close to the truth, as the Commander of the Rivernos Knights was about to retire, but due to Sigmund¡¯s personality, he denied her words. ¡°I was told that the inquisitors were to do justice and administer justice. But why did you harm the knight of Rivernos?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know that your punishment was decided from the moment you blocked my path?¡± Scarlett responds shamelessly to Sigmund¡¯s calmly asked question. The Rivernos knights were angry at her attitude. ¡°Such unreasonableness!¡± ¡°Is it correct to say that it is absurd to judge God while standing on his back?¡± ¡°Not only did they insult us, but they brandished their weapons first!¡± ¡°Everyone stop.¡± Sigmund once again blocked his angry subordinates. It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t understand them, but we must not forget that if we confront the Heretic Questioner, we may face even greater danger. However, if you give way, it will only be a matter of time before Sephia is captured. Here, we had to somehow pass the time through conversation. ¡°I clearly permitted the church¡¯s intervention after the Knights Templar confirmed the facts. ¡°Nevertheless, if you are going to enforce it by force, wouldn¡¯t the first step be to talk through me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s obvious you¡¯re hiding something.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not trying to hide it. The emergence of demons happened here in Rivernos. However, I am also interrogating the suspect because I cannot accurately identify the traces. ¡°Once the interrogation is over, I will immediately hand over my body to the interrogator.¡± ¡°okay? Even if one of them is your sister?¡± At Sigmund¡¯s words, Scarlett opened her mouth with an alluring smile, as if she found the current conversation interesting. Although it happened just yesterday, Sigmund paused at the fact that Luna came to him knowing a lot. But since I couldn¡¯t reveal my inner thoughts here, I opened my mouth calmly. ¡°¡­My sister is an unrelated victim. However, if Luna wants me to, I will be willing to be interrogated, but not right now. ¡°Her mind and body are unstable, and the priority is for the Knights to hear her story after she calms down.¡± ¡°Oh really? ¡°Everyone has their own positions and procedures, right?¡± Scarlett tapped the blade of the shortsword on her shoulder and turned her back. ¡®Are you convinced?¡¯ The moment when Sigmund was about to breathe a sigh of relief at Scarlett¡¯s unexpectedly easy behavior of retreating. ¡°But¡­¡± Scarlett mutters, with her back turned. ¡°What if I don¡¯t want to wait?¡± ¡°!!¡± Let¡¯s go! Scarlett, who clearly had her back turned, had no time to attack. However, Scarlett¡¯s new form disappeared in an instant, leaving behind an afterimage, and her dagger, whose sword body was shining red, grazed Sigmund¡¯s cheek. ¡°Vice-captain!¡± Pot! ¡°It seems the rumors weren¡¯t completely false.¡± Scarlett¡¯s eyes lit up at Sigmund, who had avoided her attack by moving his head in that brief moment. Despite the surprise action and Scarlett¡¯s transcendent speed, Sigmund simply let go of the attack and took a slight step back, widening the distance between her and her. If he was skilled enough to easily dodge his attack, he would have been able to counterattack¡­ Scarlett looked curiously at Sigmund, who still did not raise his weapon. It has not been the case that there have been people who dislike what the interrogators do. If you try to suppress it by force like this, it usually resists or bites like a cornered rat. However, his reaction was a fresh reaction I had never seen before. Truly an article among articles. It was greater than what I had heard in words. ¡®There is an exact central point¡­¡¯ Scarlett felt even more interested in Sigmund. There was nothing special about Sigmund¡¯s actions so far. However, Scarlett felt with her whole body that despite his uneventful actions, the infinite trust of the knights who followed him was anything but ordinary. ¡®The arrogant knights who raised their heads stiffly in front of me. They were all the same in the end.¡¯ All of them prioritized honor according to their beliefs, but none of them adhered to this even before death. In front of Scarlett¡¯s ¡®sadism¡¯, everyone just crawled on the floor and begged for their lives. However, even though their honor was tarnished, the knights of Rivernos followed Sigmund¡¯s orders as their top priority. What¡¯s different? Can this man also maintain his honor in the face of death? There was no reason for Scarlett¡¯s curiosity not to be piqued. ¡°You were given a title despite being from a slum, right? okay. ¡°It¡¯s as great as the rumors say.¡± ¡°That¡¯s too much praise. These abilities are insignificant compared to the sharpness of the Interrogator. ¡°She truly deserves the nickname ¡®Goddess¡¯ Red Rose.¡¯¡± ¡°To be gentlemanly? ¡°If you knew me, you would know that I have a better nickname than Rose.¡± Scarlett smiled at her conversation with Sigmund. However, everyone here sensed that her laughter contained the violence and cruelty that represented her. The nickname ¡®Red Rose¡¯ is just a word packaged to look good. It is a term referring to her beautiful appearance that makes one have no choice but to look back¡­ but the word ¡®red¡¯ that decorates the front also means that only blood will remain where she passed. Scarlett herself knew that fact, so she noticed that there was a bone in Sigmund¡¯s polite words. ¡°Being humble about your skills means you¡¯re ignoring me, right?¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be right.¡± Contrary to his words, Sigmund still seems to have no intention of taking out his weapon. At this, Scarlett stopped fake laughing and kicked the ground. Scarlett¡¯s sharply stretched out sword rushed towards Sigmund¡¯s neck. Sigmund struck away Scarlett¡¯s outstretched arm and let her attack go. However, unlike the first surprise attack, Scarlett¡¯s attack, which missed, led to the next link. Sigh ¨C Scarlett put her hand on the mace that was tied to her waist, and before Sigmund even realized it, the chain of the mace wrapped around his arm. The sharp protrusions attached to the iron weight dug into Sigmund¡¯s skin, but Scarlett¡¯s intention was to block Sigmund¡¯s movements. puck! Scarlett¡¯s subsequent high kick hit Sigmund¡¯s head. ¡°Tsk!¡± It¡¯s not a simple hit. Scarlett¡¯s physical blow, which was imbued with the power of divine power like the knights¡¯ auror, was an attack that even most knights could not withstand. thud! The weight of Scarlett¡¯s feet pressed down on Sigmund¡¯s entire body, causing his knees to fall to the ground. Even though Sigmund is considered one of the strongest knights, it is absurd to face the interrogator without even drawing a weapon. However, Sigmund did not provoke Scarlett by belittling her. ¡®Rather, the more rampant he is, the better. I do my best with my body and give Sephia time to leave.¡¯ However, Scarlett, the Heretic Questioner, was not an easy opponent to engage in psychological warfare with. Scarlett, who sensed something strange in Sigmund¡¯s intentions, who was only thinking about holding on strong, stopped attacking and frowned. Scarlett is a sadistic character who feels happier the more her opponent resists. However, even though the other person had the strength to resist, he still did not respond properly, so he seemed to have lost interest and took a step back. ¡°If you don¡¯t plan on resisting, why are you taking your time? ¡°You¡¯d better stop making lame excuses.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just cautious because I don¡¯t know how the church heard the story and came to visit me.¡± ¡°The explosion and demon energy filled with heterogeneous power. Would you have felt it as much as you? I looked through the records and found that you and your sister were always involved in such explosions. Then¡­the Magi must be from the East Continent, right? Ahaha.¡± Scarlett did not storm in as irresponsibly as the knights protested. The pursuit of a mercenary named ¡®Monte¡¯ in the capacity of an inquisitor and given by the highest authority in the church. And in order to personally confirm the evil energy observed in River North, he followed the ¡®legitimate¡¯ procedure and came to visit. ¡®There is no way such an extreme investigation would proceed simply because of something that happened yesterday.¡¯ Sigmund thought. It was noon yesterday when traces of demons appeared in River North. However, Scarlett had already entered Rivernos before any traces of the demons were discovered. In other words, the reason the Heretic Questioner came to Rivernos was not related to demons. ¡°Isn¡¯t what the church wants most now is a mercenary named Monte?¡± Sigmund¡¯s confident words. Scarlett twitched her eyebrows at this. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Perhaps she was unfamiliar with seeing such a proud knight in front of her. Scarlett wanted to immediately shatter her beliefs due to the arrogant knight¡¯s defiance, but since his guess was roughly correct, she nodded for now. ¡°that¡¯s right. Finding the suspects related to the appearance of demons is a low priority. but.¡± Scarlett obediently acknowledged Sigmund¡¯s words, but still did not understand why he was blocking her. ¡°It is my judgment that among those suspects is the mercenary we are looking for. ¡°I can¡¯t help but think that your actions now are protecting him.¡± Scarlett said as she raised her weapon and aimed it at Sigmund¡¯s neck. ¡°I think there was a misunderstanding as expected. Why do you think I keep him? Above all, I don¡¯t know any mercenary named Monte.¡± ¡°I do not know?¡± ¡°yes. ¡°I have never heard of a mercenary named Monte, and the suspect we have just detained does not match the Monte you mentioned.¡± Scarlett was lost in thought as she looked into Sigmund¡¯s unwavering eyes. ¡®Hmm¡­ I don¡¯t think you¡¯re lying.¡¯ S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Judging by the Inquisitor¡¯s intuition and numerous experiences, Sigmund was telling the truth. And as Sigmund said, Scarlett¡¯s top goal was the arrest of Monte, who was presumed to be a heretic. ¡®I guess it¡¯s true that Monte isn¡¯t here. However, if you are this proud, it would be worth handing over the investigative authority¡­¡¯ Scarlett thought, then shook her head to erase the complicated thoughts from her mind. Although it was said that the order of the church was given priority, Scarlett only wanted to know how to torment the toy in front of her. ¡®What are your beliefs? A knight¡¯s pride? ¡®Family¡¯s safety?¡¯ Scarlett imagined the moment when whatever Sigmund¡¯s beliefs were, they would crumble. ¡®Ah, is there anything better than this?¡¯ Scarlett had an ecstatic expression like a drug addict. For that, it is essential to secure ¡®Sepia¡¯, which can damage Sigmund¡¯s spirit. The other person is interfering with you, but there is nothing to worry about. They have already sent soldiers from the Holy Emperor to not only the mansion but also the location where Sepia is¡­ ¡°Interrogator!¡± A voice calling Scarlett out of her thoughts came from behind her. Scarlett noticed that the soldier calling her was not the one who had been with her from the beginning and turned her head. A soldier urgently running between the Rivernos knights and the paladins surrounding the mansion. ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Scarlett immediately realized that he was an investigation team member sent to secure ¡®Sephia¡¯, whom the church identified as a suspect. ¡°no way?¡± There is only one problem that can arise for them. The soldier nodded and spoke as if Scarlett¡¯s thoughts were correct. ¡°The suspect¡­is gone.¡± * * * Boom! A prison guard fell unconscious on the cold dungeon floor. ¡®I guess all the knights followed Sigmund.¡¯ It would have been quite difficult if the knights had been among the guards for surveillance. However, the knights were nowhere to be seen, perhaps because Sigmund had called them all. The place where Dio is currently imprisoned is not a normal prison in Rivernos, but a special dungeon in the Knights¡¯ Mansion. Originally, the security system was so strict that it could not be compared to an ordinary prison¡­ but now, the number of guards was not that large, perhaps because Sigmund, the head of the knights, had taken care of it. However, there is no security and the structure is not easily visible. Most of the passageways consisted of long, narrow corridors, and there were not many torches to illuminate, so it was dark. Judging by the number of prison cells connected to the hallway, Dio immediately realized that this was the 7th floor underground, the deepest place. If you try to avoid security and go up to the ground, you will probably be monitored. Sigmund is said to be able to buy time, but it is unclear exactly how much time he can buy. It took time to defeat all the guards, and as the commotion grew, it was only a matter of time before they were discovered by the Rivernos knights whom Sigmund had worked hard to secure. That is, if Dio is a ¡®normal¡¯ prisoner. ¡®It¡¯s a shame I came here once.¡¯ Dio, who was in prison, had already been thinking about a route out of this prison from the moment he was imprisoned. The Rivernos Knights¡¯ mansion with a dungeon. Dio had experience executing prisoners in the dungeon under the orders of Sigmund, who had converted to the Luna Church. At that time, a ¡®jailbreak event¡¯ also occurred where prisoners who were afraid of the news of execution tried to escape somehow. ¡®That¡¯s when I discovered a hidden space. Of course, not me, but the prisoners.¡¯ Since there was no other prisoner incarcerated on the 7th basement floor other than Dio, he moved quickly without worrying about anyone¡¯s notice. ¡®Was it the third room on the left?¡¯ Dio looked at the cells separated by iron bars, counted them, and opened the door with the key he found inside the prison guard¡¯s body. A simple room with only cold iron handcuffs and a stone bed. Dio traced his memories and pulled hard on the stone bed that seemed to be stuck to the floor. The heavy stone bed moved , scratching the ground, and Dio gave more and more strength to the space where people could enter and exit. When the stone bed was completely removed, a dusty stone floor was revealed, and Dio stood on it. Knock knock. Dio, who was pounding the floor here and there with his feet, eventually found an empty spot and struck it hard with the great sword of crushing. bang! ¡®Okay, here it is. Let¡¯s hurry.¡¯ The collapsed floor revealed enough space for one person to fit in. Did someone dig it for a prison break? Or is this an escape route intentionally created by the developer for the player¡¯s convenience? ¡®I guess it doesn¡¯t matter.¡¯ As Dio entered the tunnel without hesitation, a passageway made of a different material from the stone walls of the dungeon revealed itself. The secret passage that appeared here, located on the lowest floor, was structured to go up to the ground. It is not a simple climb. As we moved forward, the slope became so steep that it was almost 90 degrees, so the average person could not even dare to go up. Whioooooo ¨C A narrow space that is closer to a chimney than a secret passage. An eerie sound was heard in the blowing wind. It was so high that no light from the ground was visible, but judging by the sound of the wind, it was clear that there was a connection with the ground. ¡°hmm.¡± Dio finished preparing to climb by squeezing and releasing his gauntleted hand a couple of times. Since there are no slopes at all, it won¡¯t be that difficult. * * * ¡°Kaaaaaak!¡± Dio, who passed through the pitch-black underground passage and finally saw the light on the ground, spat as he got out of the exit that was blocked by all kinds of branches and leaves. This was because the passageway was full of dust, causing phlegm. -Drop your weapons! -Are you daring to rebel against the Holy Kingdom? ¡®this.¡¯ Without even a chance to catch his breath, Dio fell flat on his face at the sound of a bustling sound coming from afar. If Dio¡¯s memory is correct, the escape route here is not near the Knights¡¯ Mansion, but in the forest behind the mansion. Since barracks are often built alongside forests, it is not surprising that the hidden space of the mansion extends to this area. ¡®Are you poking around here? It looks like you came here with purpose.¡¯ When I listened closely, I saw that the knights and the paladins were arguing. Dio walked through the bushes toward the source of the commotion. -I came here after hearing that someone who had contact with the devil was in the barracks. -gibberish! -This is the name of the Heretic Questioner. If we block it, we have no choice but to enter by force. -Why not give it a try? After confirming that the two groups raising their voices were in a standoff, Dio looked at the surrounding situation. Sepia is located on the 4th floor of the villa. ¡®As expected, the elites have arrived.¡¯ It is difficult to overcome the church¡¯s elite soldiers, the Paladins, head-on. That¡¯s not all. Not only must you avoid the eyes of the Inquisitors, but you must also avoid getting caught by the Knights of Rivernos. Because now, only Sigmund knows that Dio has escaped from prison. ¡®But I can¡¯t abandon Sepia¡­¡¯ The act of abandoning Sepia, a contract holder, was like giving up her life. ¡®Should I pretend to be crazy and beat them all up? No, if you run into the Heretic Questioner, it will be completely over.¡¯ Dio shook his head at the thought. This is not the time to be rude. The current Dio could not defeat the interrogator even if he woke up from death, and the very act of fighting in the first place is problematic. There is no need to make the worst move. ¡®Sigmund said that the Luna Church is tracking me. But in the end they never saw me. We must take advantage of this.¡¯ The best thing for Dio now is to succeed in escaping without conflict with the church. If that is done, Sigmund will be able to avoid a situation where the saint¡¯s sword is aimed directly at his neck according to his explanation. ¡®You must act in a way that does not offend the saint. There¡¯s already a lot of work to do, such as leveling up and resolving class conditions, but if even a saint turns into an enemy¡­¡¯ Dio clearly knows how dangerous it will be if the Luna Church, which was once a reliable ally, turns into an enemy. Even if Sigmund does not act as a Heresy Inquisitor, the skills of the five Inquisitors are just as incredible. It¡¯s not just the interrogators who are at risk. A paladin who is stronger than most knights. An elite paladin among the elite who protect the Temple of Light. Among them, if you think about the resourcefulness of the saint ¡®Kaleina¡¯ and the divine power she possesses¡­ the future looks like a mountain. ¡®Worry about it later. Let¡¯s think of a way first.¡¯ Breaking through head on is rejected. If so, you have to somehow bypass it and recapture Sepia. If I were an assassin class, I would have used the stealth skill to sneak in, but I can¡¯t do that now¡­ ¡®Inventory.¡¯ Dio opened the inventory window and began looking for items to solve the current situation. Dio, who recently visited River North, had several new consumable items in his inventory. Most of them were potions that were simple and convenient to use. Potion of speed, potion of strengthening, antidote, curse kit, petrification potion, transformation potion, etc¡­. ¡®Shall I use the Cloak of Stealth?¡¯ Although it was lower than the assassin¡¯s stealth skill, the Cloak of Stealth was still perfect for the current situation as a stealth tool. However, the Cloak of Stealth only makes you invisible, but it cannot ignore physical collisions. Dio¡¯s judgment was that it would be difficult to break through a building full of Seonghwangcheong soldiers and Rivernos soldiers using stealth alone. Among the advanced stealth skills, there is something called ¡¯embodiment¡¯ that allows you to pass through objects¡­ ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± Someone shouted as if they had discovered Dio hiding in a sloppy manner. Looking at his attire, he is presumed to be a squire of a Rivernos knight. ¡®Then¡­¡¯ Dio, who had a bright idea at the sight of the approaching squire, brightened his eyes as he looked at the approaching squire. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 39 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 39Episode 39: The Knights¡¯ Mansion where Sepia is located. Here, at the back gate of the second floor, there were only two knights standing for security, unlike the Seonghwangcheong soldiers and knights crowded at the main gate. Normally there would be no such thing as security, but the situation is different now. Sigmund¡¯s order not to let the people of Seonghwangcheong approach. At this, the drivers opened their eyes and stopped a man who was coming up the back stairs. ¡°You¡¯re Zeke¡¯s squire, right?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The knights looked at the tall squire and said, ¡°The vice-captain sent me here. ¡°I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be enough workers here¡­¡± ¡°Really? ¡°We haven¡¯t heard anything?¡± ¡°Well, we didn¡¯t have enough hands because everyone was flocking here. It just worked out well. ¡°Please bring us some water from downstairs.¡± ¡°All right. ¡°I¡¯ll bring it to you right away.¡± The knights, who knew that he was Zeke¡¯s squire, opened the door without much suspicion, and the squire, who looked a bit foolish, hurried into the building. ¡°phew.¡± A seed entered the building. Dio, who had been transformed into a squire through a transformation potion, breathed a sigh of relief when he successfully infiltrated. The duration of the transformation potion is 10 minutes. Dio, who knocked out the squire who found him hiding and transformed into him, hurriedly headed to the 4th floor where Sephia was located. Currently, servants and maids were walking around inside the villa to serve the knight and Sepia, so Dio¡¯s presence was not strange at all. ¡°Oh my Ted! long time no see. Did Zeke send you here?¡± One of the maids who discovered Dio seemed to be acquainted with the squires and maids within the knights and spoke to him happily. ¡°Oh no. This is an errand for Sigmund. Where is Sepia?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the middle room. But what on earth is going on outside? Still, Sepia, you¡¯re not in a very good condition after yesterday¡¯s incident¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Anyway, I brought the medicine, so I¡¯ll go quickly.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s a relief. ¡°I was worried because you didn¡¯t call the priest, but there was some medicine, right?¡± Fortunately, Sepia seemed to be continuing to act painfully as originally planned. Dio, who noticed this, pretended to have medicine that couldn¡¯t be there, and the maid showed him Sephia¡¯s room without any suspicion. In the end, choosing a transformation potion instead of a stealth potion was an excellent choice. I was able to easily find out the exact location of Sepia. Dio carefully knocked on the door. Knock- ¡°This is a message from Sepia and Sigmund.¡± -Are you my brother? Come on in. After hearing Sepia¡¯s voice coming from inside the door, Dio opened the door and entered her room. Dio quickly scanned the state of Sepia, who was looking at him. I was worried that the pain might not be from acting, but from the oath, but it didn¡¯t seem to be outside the rules. ¡®Well, it¡¯s not that far from the mansion prison.¡¯ In any case, Sepia was clearly looking at the situation outside through the window and could be seen to be anxious in many ways. ¡°The message from my brother¡­.¡± ¡°Sepia. I do not have time.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Sepia, who had no idea that it was Dio who had turned into a squire, widened her eyes at his actions, cutting her off right away. Chiik ¨C At just the right time, white smoke spewed out from Dio¡¯s body and covered his entire body. When the smoke cleared, Sephia was even more surprised to see Dio returning to his original form as a seed. ¡°Dio? How can we get here¡­!?¡± Dio tried to answer Sepia¡¯s question, but a loud commotion began to be heard outside, as if to let them know that their time was running out. -The interrogator¡¯s permission has been granted! Arrested by force! -Stop! -Anyone who blocks us from now on will be considered a heretic. The Paladins surrounding the outside began to use force, and a conflict broke out with the knights blocking them. -Aaaah! In an instant, a loud scream was heard from the maid who saw the Holy Knight entering the building. ¡°I¡¯ll explain later. Sepia Do you trust me?¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°I guess I¡¯ll have to say goodbye to Sigmund later. ¡°We need to escape now.¡± ¡°What does that mean? ¡°Please explain slowly.¡± A detailed explanation can be given later. Now the priority is to get Sepia out before the Seonghwangcheong people come in. Dio took out an item from his inventory. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°To make it possible for you to be transported safely.¡± Dio poured the gray-colored vial onto Sepia¡¯s head. ¡°what¡­?¡± Sepia was embarrassed and tried to ask for an explanation, but she was unable to speak. Sepia¡¯s body, which came into contact with the medicine, gradually began to harden and became completely hardened like a stone. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Petrification Potion] Grade: Magic Classification: Potion Level limit: 10 Effect: Puts the target in a petrified state for 10 minutes. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The potion used on her was the so-called petrification potion. Of course, it did not work on targets with high magic resistance, but it worked well on low-level Sephia. ¡®Inventory.¡¯ After watching Sepia turn into a perfect stone statue, Dio opened his inventory again. The reason Sepia was made into a rock that was difficult to transport was to transport it by putting it in the ¡®inventory¡¯. ¡®Due to the order board system, living creatures, including humans, cannot be placed in the inventory. And also items that are too bulky.¡¯ However, the current DIO satisfied both of the two elements that could solve this problem. The first is a petrification potion that temporarily transforms the living creature Sepia into a ¡®stone statue¡¯. The second is the inventory expansion feature that doubles the volume limit of items that can be stored in the inventory. Dio¡¯s inventory expansion characteristics were so bad that they could be classified as trash. ¡®That doesn¡¯t mean I didn¡¯t do any research at all.¡¯ Dio spent a long time researching the character¡¯s valuable characteristics while playing the game, and also used inventory expansion in various ways. ¡®Of course, it¡¯s a trait exclusive to warehouse characters.¡¯ In any case, it is fortunate that the research spirit of the deceased person, which was displayed even in the warehouse, shines through in the current situation. This method can store not only NPCs but also monsters. I remember Dio using it when he unleashed monsters in villages and battlefields, so I was absolutely sure of Sepia¡¯s safety. ¡°Now all that¡¯s left is to get out.¡± Dio quickly took out his cloak of concealment and immediately put it on. As long as Sepia is safely secured, there is no reason to go through the crowded crowds. -It¡¯s upstairs! -Everyone climb up! The commotion of the Paladins who had infiltrated the building quickly climbing the stairs was heard nearby, and Dio immediately threw himself through the window. Although it is the height of the 4th floor, it is not high enough to be a burden to D.O. thud! The actions of everyone who had already gathered here were looking for the missing Sephia, so it was difficult to notice Dio, who had easily escaped by hiding himself. -It¡¯s gone! -These guys! Where did you hide it? -What are you talking about? -Arrest everyone! Immediately after he escaped through the window, Dio could hear the voices of the Holy Knights who had barged into Sepia¡¯s room expressing their anger. The knights of Rivernos were also surprised that Sepia had disappeared. In many ways, it was clear that it would lead to even greater confusion. ¡®Sigmund. Take care of it yourself.¡¯ Having safely achieved his goal, Dio quickly left the Knights¡¯ barracks. Their dispute is now up to Sigmund. There may come a situation where the Luna Church officially declares him a heretic and pursues him. However, they will not pursue you easily without accurate confirmation. ¡®Anyway, they didn¡¯t see my face. Besides, I didn¡¯t cause any direct friction with them.¡¯ Dio decided that he had handled the crisis in front of him appropriately, took a deep breath, looked towards the east, and muttered. ¡°Then¡­let¡¯s go.¡± Dio¡¯s next destination had already been decided. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Main Scenario ¨C 1] [Type: Class Quest] [I encountered a person who remembered forgotten history.

Words cannot be easily ignored. Even if it is to uncover a forgotten swordsman or uncover the unknown power of Sepia. To Estellum, the city of the undead. * * * In any world, it is difficult for children without parents to live without help from others. It was especially difficult for two young children to survive in a slum filled with people who had lost the will to live. Sigmund and Sephia had a terrible childhood like any other unfortunate children who grew up without parents. An unhappy life happens between people. Sepia has struggled to survive and has constantly suffered the viciousness of countless people in the process. It is not just those from the back alleys who show viciousness. The back alleys of River North were places where knights who neglected crime, nobles who visited the pleasure district, and even people who grew up with nothing to envy, showed their greedy side without fail. Even with Sigmund¡¯s ability, it was difficult to keep the back alleys clean, so the security in the back alleys before he became a knight was so bad that it became infamous throughout the continent. In such a place, Sephia learned the cruel rules of survival. There is no favor without reason for a creature called human being. This is the only knowledge Sephia learned in the back alleys. An old gentleman approached me pretending to be a gentleman, and a young nobleman pretended to be polite. Human greed was hidden behind the favors that everyone readily gave. Not only have I almost been trafficked, but more than once I have almost been used to distribute drugs. Behind her fake smile, Sephia learned to be endlessly suspicious of others and never once trusted anyone other than her brother Sigmund. It was fortunate that her older brother, who was talented in swordsmanship, was taken over by a knight from Rivernos, but he did not blindly show good will either. As the leader of the knights, he saw Sigmund¡¯s venom and gave him a chance, intending to raise the talented Sigmund as his own. As a result, it worked in reverse as Sigmund¡¯s talent blossomed and his explosive growth occurred. However, the lesson this gave to Sepia was clear. The world is a world of survival of the fittest. If you are weak, you will be eaten. There is absolutely no favor without reason. It must have been like that. It must be an unchanging truth. Why did he make that choice? A spoonful of soup he gave me, a warm fire he made, a peaceful word he gave me. The belief that no one would trust shakes in front of him. Why did I so easily reveal my secret to someone I barely knew at the time? Even though we know better than anyone else that people always wear masks. Sepia opened her eyes. In front of me, I saw the man who had saved me from a group of warlocks. I have no idea what that man¡¯s intentions are. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There is no favor without reason. But what if the truth you thought was wrong? Maybe he¡¯s showing that the world isn¡¯t so bleak? If so, acting suspicious of others is not a good idea. However, you should not just receive help forever. ¡®Because I am weak¡­¡¯ Due to his own weakness, my brother, who was strong, was eaten in the world of the law of the jungle. Now, I may not be able to see the rest of my family for the rest of my life. The only consolation is that this man is doing me a favor for no reason. ¡®But if I remain weak¡­¡¯ I can¡¯t be a burden anymore. Sepia¡¯s beliefs helped her make her resolution. ¡®You have to be strong.¡¯ A life worth living is when you take advantage of this opportunity to grow yourself during times when you worry about doubting others. Sepia made up her mind. There was no sign of hesitation from her anymore. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 40 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 40Episode 40: Dio escapes the chaos of Rivernos due to the Heretic Questioner¡¯s visit. Thanks to his haste, he was able to take out Sephia, who was about to be released from petrification, in time. To Sepia, who was confused, Dio explained her and his situation in detail. The existence of Ludens. Because he came to the mansion, Sephia also became involved with the demons and was chased by the Heresy Inquisition Department of the Luna Church. Just as D.O. had first threatened to say to Sepia, he explained everything, including situations that could lead to being accused of heresy. Of course, he did not forget to explain that it was not an arbitrary action and that it was a request from Sigmund. There is no particular reason to hide it. ¡°I see¡­ So I ended up parting ways with my brother without even being able to say a final goodbye.¡± Sepia speaks softly. Dio was slightly surprised to see that she didn¡¯t look sad. ¡°¡­are you okay?¡± ¡°are you okay. ¡°I have something to tell you more than that.¡± For some reason, Dio was puzzled by Sepia¡¯s expression, which showed determination in her eyes. ¡®what? ¡®What kind of psychological change occurred?¡¯ Dio, who was curious about what to say, nodded, and Sephia stared into Dio¡¯s eyes and opened her mouth. ¡°I want to become stronger.¡± ¡°uh?¡± Sephia¡¯s words were full of determination, and Dio could immediately understand her resolve. Sepia knows too. For whom did Sigmund make the difficult choice? Sepia doesn¡¯t want to believe me. He must have decided to trust the choice of Sigmund, who can be said to be the only one on his side. Because of this incident, Sigmund may be stripped of his position and may be wanted by Luna. Sepia couldn¡¯t have known this. He must have promised himself that Sigmund¡¯s sacrifice would not be in vain. If Sigmund had been satisfied with just being wary and not trusting others in his safe haven¡­ he would not have said that he wanted to become stronger. ¡°If I follow Dio, will I be able to become stronger too? ¡°Is it possible to live in this world without anyone¡¯s protection anymore?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± In response to Sepia¡¯s cold question, Dio closed his eyes for a moment. The silence that came to them. Dio opened his eyes again and made a confident expression, as if he was responding to Sepia¡¯s decision. ¡°of course.¡± As soon as Dio answered, Sepia clenched her fists. ¡°The hardships and adversities that will arise in the future will be a tough fight unlike anything you have ever experienced before. Is that okay?¡± ¡°are you okay. ¡°I won¡¯t cry or give up.¡± ¡°good.¡± Sepia¡¯s response once again strengthened her resolve. Dio nodded at that sincerity. ¡®okay. Only when you become strong will I feel at ease.¡¯ I was lucky that Sepia was smart. If she had been an immature child, she would have been nothing more than a burden she felt on her own. But now. Contrary to what Dio had worried about, Sepia achieved internal growth. ¡®Sigmund. What you asked for was Sepia¡¯s protection, but I¡¯m busy with my own life. ¡®I will grant your request indirectly.¡¯ Sephia took the first step, hoping to become stronger herself. If Sepia is forced to follow along without any determination, its growth will be slow and may even stop. Dio took out a bow from his inventory to Sepia, who was waiting for his words. ¡°receive.¡± A bow with an impressive white paint like snow. The unique grade ¡®Crystal Recurve Bow¡¯ was a highly versatile piece of equipment that could be used by anyone with a minimum strength level. Although there is no level limit, its destructive power is not that great. No matter how unique the grade is, since there are no restrictions, there is a penalty in the order board. However, Dio knows that there is no item like this for training alt characters. ¡®That¡¯s also why I have this equipment in my warehouse.¡¯ It may be difficult for Sepia to use it right away due to its difficulty, but it is the best weapon for her right now. From the moment Dio visited the Rivernos warehouse, he had envisioned how he would train Sepia. The first button is this. ¡°¡­This?¡± Sepia carefully held the bow Dio handed her. ¡°Race your life. Don¡¯t take survival lightly before you become stronger. ¡°If you die for Sigmund, you will have nothing.¡± Sepia¡¯s class is as unknown as the forgotten swordsman class. But Dio knew one thing for sure. That means that sepia¡¯s potential is endless. ¡®According to Ludens¡¯ words, Sepia¡¯s class type would be close to priest. But it doesn¡¯t feel like a typical priest. Rather, he is closer to a wizard.¡¯ Dio thought, recalling Sepia¡¯s ability to burn Victor. Dio, who has been playing the Order Board for a long time, has more than once experienced raising talented NPCs. Basically, basic physical strength is important for wizards. Using a bow can increase both strength and agility. Moreover, magic is basically an attack method with overwhelming destructive power. What is important here is accuracy. Bowmen are not called physics wizards for nothing. ¡®There is no need to rush to Estel Room.¡¯ The next destination may be filled with danger. Before arriving there, Dio planned to develop Sepia¡¯s basic abilities as much as possible. If you order this and that, you will be able to find out the power of sepia in more detail. * * * Sabagsabag ¨C A bipedal monster with a pig¡¯s face, with a narrow forehead and enlarged jaw. Two orcs with green skin and muscular bodies were passing through a swamp. Living in a village, they each had a deer and a wild boar on their belts, probably because they were procuring food. It¡¯s not just the corpses of animals. Each of them was carrying a huge sack that looked like they had looted something. ¡°The wider the territory, the easier it is to hunt.¡± ¡°What the Chief said was right.¡± ¡°The day is not far when we will completely take over the territory of humans.¡± ¡°right. I can¡¯t wait to fight again. Weak humans are just our prey.¡± As the orcs passed by the muddy swamp, the sound of something cutting through the wind was heard. The Orcs, who were happy about the fact that they could easily obtain food, were unable to respond at all to the unexpected threat. Pop! ¡°Keuuk!¡± Of the two orcs, the one closer to the swamp had an arrow with an impressive silver-colored collar stuck in its forearm. ¡°Ku kuek!¡± Orcs are not monsters so weak that they can be killed instantly by a single arrow. However, one arrow fired unexpectedly was enough to break the orc¡¯s balance and plunge it into the swamp. ¡°It came from there!¡± ¡°It¡¯s human!¡± As the orc in the swamp was struggling, the remaining orc looked in the direction from which the arrow came and took out the ax from his belt. Ping ¨C As if it was natural, a second arrow flew out and headed for the orc¡¯s head. However, the orc, recognizing the surprise attack, raised its arm and blocked the arrow. Sigh! The arrow got stuck in the orc¡¯s forearm, but unlike the orc who lost his balance and fell into the swamp, he held his ground firmly. ¡°Kuuuuu!¡± The orc ran forward, letting out a distinctive roar as if it had discovered something. Orcs, known to be braver than any other race, are a warlike race that excels at close combat based on their high strength and stamina. It is difficult to eliminate the orc¡¯s momentum with just arrows. Sae-Ae-Ae-Ae-Ae-! The orc, who had been continuously catching arrows with his body, ran forward without warning and swung his huge ax sharply. bang-! When an orc chopped down a huge tree trunk with an axe, the old tree, which seemed to have withstood countless waves of time, fell down without a sound with a crashing sound. Jijijik ¨C At the sound of branches being tangled and torn apart, the orc raised his head and looked up at the tree. He clearly saw a human sniping at him from a tree. The orc¡¯s vision was accurate, and soon he was able to spot the human falling from the tree that was the support. ¡°Kruk?¡± I thought I had definitely fallen, but that wasn¡¯t the case. It didn¡¯t fall, but jumped towards the orc itself. Silver hair visible through the smeared mud, a small physique that makes you feel like you¡¯re wearing leather armor, and sparkling red eyes under dark eyelids that have the fierce but calm look of an expert hunter. The identity of the human who attacked the orc was none other than Sepia, a native of the Rivernos slums and Sigmund¡¯s younger sister. The oak squinted at the sunlight shining down on her back as the canopy of trees fell. Sepia did not miss this opportunity. She straightened up on her knees and hit the orc squarely in the head. Jump! Sepia¡¯s skillful movements, which did not seem like she could fight at all, were so good that the orcs mistook her for an elf. ¡°cook!¡± When Sephia¡¯s knee, bearing all of her weight, hit the orc¡¯s face, the orc¡¯s gigantic body hesitated, but only for a moment. ¡°Kuuuuu!¡± The orc screamed and stretched out its arm to grab Sepia. ¡°Tch!¡± Sepia clicked her tongue and spun around to avoid the orc¡¯s grasp. Huung ¨C Sepia, who narrowly avoided the orc¡¯s arm, leaped once again using the arm of the guy as a stepping stone. An orc that took several arrows with its bare body. Even hitting with your weight doesn¡¯t work on him. However, Sepia did not run out of means of attack. The reason she was unable to inflict a fatal blow with an arrow was not because she lacked power. It¡¯s only been 15 days since I picked up a bow under Dio¡¯s guidance. Sepia, which still lacked accuracy, had difficulty hitting the orc¡¯s vital points. However, it is different at such close range. One last remaining arrow in her hand. Hwareuk ¨C It wasn¡¯t just an arrow. The arrow in her hand began to be enveloped in blazing flames. Sigh! ¡°Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!¡± As soon as the arrowhead pierced the orc¡¯s eye, the sound of a pig being slaughtered echoed through the forest. The sharpness of the point and the flame attached to it burned the orc¡¯s eyes, causing terrible pain. Sepia, who was completely holding onto her opponent¡¯s back, did not stop there. She immediately wrapped her legs around the orc¡¯s thick neck, climbed on top, and placed the bow she was holding on the orc¡¯s uvula. ¡°Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!¡± The more strength Sepia¡¯s arm exerted, the more the bow tightened around the orc¡¯s neck, causing him to writhe in pain. thud! Due to Sepia¡¯s relentless persistence, the orc¡¯s body eventually went limp and he was completely suffocated. ¡°haha.¡± Sepia looks down at the fallen orc, out of breath. She immediately stood up and pulled down the scarf that covered her nose and mouth. ¡°I told you, right? ¡°I can handle you well.¡± Dio, who finally appeared in response to Sepia¡¯s cries, which were full of poisonousness compared to 15 days ago, opened his mouth with an extremely shocked expression. ¡°Okay¡­good job.¡± I was trying to raise a wizard, but for some reason Sepia¡¯s appearance is full of ranger-ness. Where did it go wrong? No, did it go well? Dio began to think about his journey of the past 15 days once again. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse character S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 41 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 41Episode 41: Dio thought that Sepia had a delicate personality that could not see blood. But it took less than half a day to realize that his thoughts were wrong. Her tenacity had been cultivated since her desperate childhood, and her experience of learning simple self-defense techniques from Sigmund paid off. Was it because I had a strong mind? Sephia¡¯s determination to leave Sigmund¡¯s sacrifice behind was so strong that Dio could feel it with his own skin. As if to prove that it wasn¡¯t just words, Sepia followed Dio¡¯s training without complaint. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It¡¯s been two days since I left River North. On a moonlit night with chase chase rain. Dio easily subdued the wolf that came to hunt him. It is not a hunting method suited to the current level, but a hunting method suited to Sepia¡¯s physical condition. ¡°It¡¯s going to be a lot trickier than hunting wild boars.¡± Currently in front of Dio was a confrontation with a level 20 Lazy Wolf, whose ferocity was maximized, unlike ordinary wolves. Lazy Wolf was not paying attention to the fact that his comrade was dead, and was drooling and looking for an opportunity at any time. Although it has gone crazy with anger, due to its nature as a wild animal, it has the instinct to target the weak among the group. Perhaps that was why the remaining Raisewolf was targeting Sepia, not Dio. ¡°Do you want to give it a try? Or show me one more time?¡± ¡°That¡¯s Okay. I could.¡± He took out the familiar ¡®Lykan Kukri Knife¡¯ from his arms and took a step forward. Lazy Wolf, who was looking for an opportunity, suddenly rushed forward as if Sepia came forward, as if it was a success. Pop! Sepia kicked up the dirt on the floor and scattered it on Lazy Wolf¡¯s snout, just as Dio had shown. A characteristic of the Lazy Wolf is that it has a very low dependence on sight and hearing. Instead, it has a fixed combat pattern using its developed sense of smell, so if you attack it, you can easily hunt it. ¡°Kung!¡± For a moment, Lazy Wolf, covered in mud from the rain-soaked ground, fell into a state of confusion. Lazy Wolf, engulfed in anger, ran wild without restraint, and Sephia rolled forward and caught him in the back at once. Then he jumped high, jumped on Lazy Wolf¡¯s back, and cut off his head with a dagger. Sigh! Crumbling! Sepia¡¯s weak strength was not enough to decapitate Lazy Wolf in one go. Afterwards, Sephia chose to stab rather than cut, and persistently stabbed Lazy Wolf¡¯s neck, which was struggling in pain. An extremely violent stabbing. How deep did it go? It was only after Sepia¡¯s thrusts went back and forth dozens of times that Lazy Wolf¡¯s strength was gone and he fell out. thud! ¡°Huh huh huh.¡± Unlike Dio, it was a dirty fight, rolling around in the mud, but it was a great fight for Sephia. The fact that he was able to take down the wolf without risking hand-to-hand combat was proof that he had not only a simple will, but also an excellent fighting sense. Of course, I would have received help from the ¡®Lykan Kukri Knife¡¯. Like the ¡®Crystal Recurve Bow¡¯, the ¡®Lykan Kukri Knife¡¯ is said to be the ultimate dagger item among training items. I got stuck in the game while looking for that weapon. I was so angry that I thought about disassembling it, but I had no idea that what I had saved would be used like this. ¡°how is it? ¡°You finished it cleanly, right?¡± Sepia, out of breath, opened her mouth with both hands on her knees, and Dio, putting his thoughts away, walked towards Lazy Wolf¡¯s body. ¡°¡­okay.¡± Dio looked at Lazy Wolf, whose neck was full of stab wounds, and nodded hesitantly. No matter how easy it was to attack Lazy Wolf, defeating the beast in one go meant that she was by no means weak. This battle asks you to fight without using a bow, because you never know what will happen in real life. As Sepia¡¯s skills shone brighter than expected, Dio felt the desire to help her grow a little more. What Dio needs is an immediate feeling of power. If you invest this time in growing Sepia, which has high potential, you will be able to reliably strengthen your power. ¡®Should we use bow as a base but also teach proper fighting skills?¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes lit up as he talked about the upcoming special training. * * * It was the tenth day since leaving River North. Sepia¡¯s skills grew day by day, but Dio was still confused about her true power. ¡®Even without using force, the combat is top-notch.¡¯ I couldn¡¯t even imagine how much Sepia would grow if a clue to this was found. Dio glanced at Sephia, who had just caught ¡®Cave Bear¡¯ and was resting for a moment. Dio didn¡¯t look particularly tired, but he still thought it would be better to take his time and rest. Just as Dio, who had nothing else to do, was about to look at Sepia¡¯s status window. -Keeeeeeek! -Keeek! A group of kobolds appeared making animal-like noises. -Kerukkeuk. -Kiki kick. Four kobolds armed with crude and worn-out equipment showed strong hostility toward Dio and Sepia, who were resting. ¡®Is this your first time seeing a sub-race? Sepia, who has just fought a battle, might be a bit dangerous.¡¯ Dio left Sephia resting and got up to demonstrate as he always did. However, Sepia came up to the side as if asking when he had been resting, pushed Dio aside and opened his mouth. ¡°I¡¯ll take care of it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Sephia started running after saying what she wanted to say, before Dio could even reply. Sepia was planning to attack the kobolds before they formed their proper formation. She didn¡¯t necessarily aim her bow from far away. Was he trying to practice the close combat techniques he had learned so far? Sepia hit the head of the kobold in the center with her bow. -simplicity and honesty! Sepia kicked both kobolds at the same time with her legs, which were spread like scissors, except for the kobold whose head was crushed. Plop! -Keeeeee! Sephia, who defeated three kobolds in an instant, did not stop there. He jumped high off the ground, jumping over the back of the kobold, which was falling forward with its head crushed. Pop! Sephia¡¯s legs jumped high and began to strangle the armed kobold, who was presumed to be the leader. As I applied force with controlled movements, the terrible sound of the guy¡¯s neck being broken all at once rang out. ¡°oh my god.¡± Dio just opens his mouth wide at the sight, which is hard to believe even after seeing it with his own eyes. I never thought he would use the chalk technique that I once taught him as a joke so perfectly. The skills Sepia is currently using are included in [Fighting Skills], a common skill for beginners. Since it is very effective when the level is low and strength is low, I taught him a skill that Dio has been using, and he followed it right away, didn¡¯t he? Old figures like Dio have benefited greatly from real-life fighting techniques such as MMA on the Order Board. So, just in case, I taught it to Sepia, and she quickly learned it too. ¡®Is this okay too? This too? ¡®Could it be this too?¡¯ Dio found this fascinating and taught him various things with excitement, and he soon became a great ranger. ¡­and now. Now, fifteen days have passed since I left River North. ¡°Whew, I¡¯ll finish taking care of the orc that fell into the swamp.¡± Sephia takes a breath and walks forward. She grew to the point where she was able to win the fight against the orcs without using her imperfect powers. Just pure physical ability. In particular, the triangle choke shown at the end was a work of art. If she were a real person, she might have become a mixed martial artist. ¡®No, you must not forget your duty. I have to somehow unleash this unknown power.¡¯ They just didn¡¯t know how to do it, so they gave him ordinary combat training. In this process, the clues to developing talent were not completely without benefit. As a result of observing Sepia¡¯s growing condition, it was confirmed that her abilities were manifested unconsciously. ¡®Every time we were in danger, Sepia¡¯s abilities were unleashed.¡¯ Dio tried to help her in moments of crisis, such as right before her neck was bitten by a wolf and right before she was torn apart by a bear¡¯s paw. However, every time, flames flew out from Sephia¡¯s body one beat ahead of Dio and burned everything around him. Every time the unknown power was unleashed, Sepia lost consciousness, and Dio, who was next to her, was also burned by the flames more than once. It is still difficult to define exactly whether that is magic or divine power. ¡®I¡¯m not sure if the ability will be fully exercised. ¡®Forcing Sephia into danger is a dangerous method.¡¯ I thought about testing to see if the ability would be displayed if I gave a ¡®command¡¯¡­ but Sepia, who cannot suppress her power, would be in danger, so I left it as just a thought. I am also reluctant to consider sepia as a simple tool. Dio continued his thoughts as he watched Sepia¡¯s back trying to finish off the orc that had fallen into the swamp. ¡®It seems that as Sepia¡¯s level increases, the frequency of flames that appear unconsciously increases¡­¡¯ Dio checked Sepia¡¯s status window from time to time to see if the system would give any hints. And even now, as is my habit, I called up the system to check again. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª : Sepia : 30 : ??? Strength: 28 Dexterity: 32 Intelligence: 37 Stamina: 30 Mana: 43 HP: 290 MP: 329 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª When you first rescued her, her level was 15. As her level increased, Accordingly, the stats were evenly distributed. However, the class is still hidden in mystery. ¡®Question mark hiding a class. ¡®What does this mean?¡¯ Every time he looks at Sepia¡¯s status window, D.O. falls into deep trouble. Does Sepia have to grow to unlock the question mark? Do I need to find a specific quest like the Pledge of Liberation? As of now, Dio couldn¡¯t know anything. ¡®I guess I¡¯ll have to meet Ludens¡¯ acquaintance to make any progress.¡¯ Dio, who had already thought about Sepia, raised his head and looked around. ¡®Anyway, why do orcs have these things?¡¯ While Sepia was digging through the top of the orc¡¯s head in the swamp, Dio became interested in the items the orcs left behind. Items the orcs were carrying. Dio left the animal carcass behind and unwrapped the huge sack they had left behind. ¡®What is all this? hoe? shovel? ¡®What are these little sacks?¡¯ Dio was suspicious when he found a bag containing seeds as well as various farming tools in the sack. ¡®Did they attack the farmhouse? There¡¯s no way that organized orcs would appear around here¡­¡¯ Dio traced his memory while looking at the farming tools that still looked useful. Currently, Dio is moving north to where Estellum is located. Of course, since Sepia¡¯s goal is to grow, it is not unusual for monsters to appear as it crosses mountainous areas rather than regular roads. However, Dio thoroughly searched for a monster field that matched Sepia¡¯s level. ¡®No matter how strong you are, the monsters that appear here will only be level 30 Cave Bears¡­¡¯ Although wandering orcs sometimes appear regardless of the region, the orcs Dio encountered were not wandering orcs. ¡®These are tribe members. Are you sure.¡¯ Dio muttered after checking the orc¡¯s body. Orcs who live in villages can be identified by tattoos or piercings on their molars. It looks like the orcs were raiding and plundering the human territory. Orcs invading the territory of other races occurred frequently on the Order Board, so it was not unusual. However, Dio discovered something strange here through the element ¡®orc¡¯ and continued his reasoning. ¡®If we continue west from here¡­ the recommended level for that field was definitely 90.¡¯ There is a special orc den there. In the vast world of Order, there are countless orc caves. However, the reason Dio remembers the orc den in this area in a special way is because there was a person related to it. Shadow Witch. The group called witch is like the word used in the order board to mean a person who is crazy about research. I wandered around the world and sat down for years in places where research was needed. The orc cave that Dio recalled was also an experiment site for the Shadow Witch¡¯s research, and the orcs were the Shadow Witch¡¯s subordinates and test subjects. The reason the orcs raided the village and plundered farming tools was because they had to maintain the orc den. ¡°Witch¡­ witch¡­¡± Dio muttered while resting his chin, and Sepia, who had just finished her business, looked at him strangely and asked. ¡°yes? ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± A thought flashes through Dio¡¯s eyes as he looks at Sepia, who is staring at him blankly. ¡°We are going west.¡± ¡°Huh? Weren¡¯t we supposed to go to Estelle¡¯s room?¡± Sephia was curious and asked Dio that he was going in a different direction from the original destination. Putting her curiosity aside, Dio began walking toward the west, recalling memories of the witch he would face in the future. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 42 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 42Episode 42 The witches who exist in the world of Order are those who are located on the ambiguous border between monsters and NPCs. Basically, witches are treated as heretics in the world of order. However, it is difficult to conclude that they are absolute evil like black magicians. Among the many witches, there are some, like warlocks, who commit evil deeds and are hostile to the player. On the other hand, there are witches who give players quests for research or are cooperative. ¡®The Shadow Witch was just in the middle.¡¯ The Shadow Witch that Dio remembers is a disciple of the ¡®Witch of Balance¡¯, the world¡¯s strongest witch and hermit. The level is around level 150 and no special items are given. They continued to conduct strange research that was useless to players, and even the dropped items were only miscellaneous items. In any case, it is clear why Dio wants to visit the Shadow Witch even though he has nothing to gain from fighting the witch. ¡®With the witch¡¯s knowledge, I might be able to discover Sepia¡¯s condition that I don¡¯t know about.¡¯ Witches who devoted themselves to various research often knew things that players did not know. However, that miscellaneous knowledge was not particularly helpful to the player. Still, it was D.O.¡¯s first time setting up ¡®Solari¡¯, so he was clinging to it with a feeling of grasping at straws. ¡®There¡¯s nothing to lose. Even if I fight a shadow witch, I can easily win.¡¯ As befits its nickname, the Shadow Witch specializes in manipulating shadows. Dio¡¯s level was lower than that of the Shadow Witch, but he was able to gain the upper hand in Sangseong through the forgotten ¡®width¡¯ of his swordsmanship. Light and heat using width would be fatal to the shadow witch. ¡®Users who are trained as fire attribute wizards can deal with even if the level difference is double.¡¯ At that time, Sepia spoke and cut off Dio¡¯s thoughts. ¡°So, are you planning to ask the witch to look after my condition?¡± ¡°okay.¡± Sephia, who heard from Dio about the reason for the change in destination, looked anxious. ¡°Can you trust witches?¡± ¡°Their perception is not good. But knowledge is real.¡± ¡°Still¡­¡± In a world that is hell-bent on burning witches at the stake, Sepia¡¯s anxiety was natural in a way. ¡°don¡¯t worry. ¡°I can definitely appease the witch I¡¯m going to meet now.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sephia said nothing more as Dio spoke confidently. They headed towards Hafner Valley, where the Shadow Witch was. * * * A cave located deep in the Hafner Valley. Deeper along the depths of the cave, there was a very dirty room. A thick book lies on a shelf, and a bundle of parchment with all kinds of complex formulas written on it. The light shining in the crude wooden candlesticks indicated that this was a place where people lived. -Cool On the dirty sofa in the corner. There was a witch who was fast asleep, using her cone hat as an eyepatch. Caw-caw- The sound of a crow covering the sound of a witch snoring. It must have been deep in a cave with no windows, but a crow, who didn¡¯t know how it got in, landed on the witch¡¯s head. Caw-caw-! ¡°Umm¡­just 5 minutes. ¡°No, just one minute¡­¡± The witch, who seemed to have no intention of getting up despite the crow crowing loudly, whined. In response, the crow grabbed the witch¡¯s conical hat with its beak and threw it away, and even jumped up and down on her face. ¡°Oh, I understand.¡± The shadow witch could no longer endure the crow¡¯s persistent alarm. A lot of matted black hair. The witch had deep dark circles under her eyes, looking scruffy and not knowing when she had washed her face. ¡°Haam~ So what is it?¡± The Shadow Witch removed her dirty eyes and yawned at her familiar, the crow. -Caw-caw- caw The crow¡¯s eyes began to turn red and it cawd as if it were speaking human language. ¡°what? intruder?¡± The shadow witch wakes up from her sleep after hearing the news from the crow. At this, the witch¡¯s eyes lit up as if she had discovered treasure, rather than as if an intruder had come in. ¡°ha ha ha! What kind of arrogant guy came to visit? ¡°Our cuties were already busy because it was harvest season.¡± The shadow witch licked her lips as if she was appetizing the delicious food in front of her. Ting ¨C The shadow witch tapped the crystal ball rolling on the floor with her finger, and a clear sound echoed throughout the room. ¡°Potato class!¡± -Kuruk. Did you call me, witch? A place reflected in a crystal sphere. There, orcs appeared flocking to the witch¡¯s call. ¡°It seems like a visitor came from outside. ¡°Please scold me moderately and take everything I have.¡± ¨C Kuwok. All right. The orcs were naturally dispatched as if this was the first time something like this had happened. The Shadow Witch giggled to herself as she watched the orcs heading outside, gathering various farming tools. ¡®Hehe, I hope I¡¯m a rich kid. Buy a broody hen and eat one egg every day¡­!¡¯ The shadow witch, unaware of what would happen in the future, could only imagine happiness while massaging her hungry stomach. * * * Caw-Caw- A flock of crows circling in the blue sky, croaking ominously. The oak cave located below was giving off a very gloomy aura. ¡°Is that right there? ¡°I can¡¯t see any witches or orcs?¡± Sepia, who was watching the orc cave from afar, asked Dio next to her. ¡°wait. Perhaps the witch has already seen us come¡­¡± ¡°Oh, there are orcs out there!¡± Even before Dio finished speaking, a group of orcs appeared from within the cave. At this, Sepia must have been nervous and tightly grasped the bow she was wearing with both hands. ¡°But you still can¡¯t see the witch? ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we ask the witch for help?¡± Dio shook his head in response to Sepia¡¯s question. ¡°The witch won¡¯t come out. ¡°The only way to talk to her is to deal with those orcs and enter the cave.¡± ¡°Are you saying that fighting with orcs is inevitable?¡± ¡°Even if you hide, there is only one entrance to the orc den, so you have no choice but to eventually run into orcs. Besides, it would be better to fight outside than inside the cave.¡± Sephia nodded at Dio¡¯s explanation. ¡°great. ¡°I can easily deal with orcs now.¡± Sephia, who had previously dealt with two orcs, tried to confidently step forward, but Dio grabbed her by the back. ¡°why? ¡°You said you were going to fight?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be hasty. ¡°It¡¯s only after I see you that you go on a rampage.¡± ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Sephia got very annoyed with Dio, who sometimes used words that were difficult to understand. ¡°It means you need map reading.¡± ¡°I still don¡¯t know.¡± Dio, ignoring Sepia¡¯s complaints, scanned the location of the orc den, including the outpost. In any game, including Order Board, map reading, which identifies terrain features, is a very important element for the player. It is no exaggeration to say that experts and low-level players are divided depending on their level of map reading proficiency. ¡®Orcs work in groups, so they become stronger in proportion to their numbers. That¡¯s why the recommended level for Hafner Valley, where the Shadow Witch is located, is 90.¡¯ The number of orcs that came out of the cave exceeded ten. Now that I am accompanying Sepia. Dio couldn¡¯t act like the order board play he did without his lower-level teammates. You could easily handle it on your own, but now you are not alone, you are also a ¡®guardian¡¯. Moreover, it would be a waste to miss the opportunity to raise Sepia¡¯s level and gain experience. ¡°The number of orcs that have come out now is twelve. ¡°We are fully prepared for the attack.¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we attack before the defense is in place?¡± Sepia asked, recalling the preemptive strike and surprise attack that Dio had taught her. ¡°This training is about how to deal with enemies who have deployed their defenses. In other words, I will teach you the tactical aspects.¡± ¡°¡­all right.¡± Sepia nodded, and Dio pointed to the orcs going up to the guard post. ¡°Can you see over there?¡± ¡°yes. ¡°I think they¡¯re looking for us.¡± Sepia spoke her thoughts as she looked at the orcs looking around from the guard post. ¡°that¡¯s right. They must have heard from the witch that we were coming. ¡°It will be difficult to approach easily.¡± ¡°Then what should I do?¡± In response to Sepia¡¯s question, Dio continued to explain as if it were obvious. ¡°Suppress the troops at the guard post first. Being surrounded by enemies can be a pain in the ass. The number of orcs you can face head-on with your abilities is at most three. If it goes beyond that, you too will be in danger.¡± ¡°You mean to occupy the hill and destroy them individually?¡± Dio nodded, seeing that Sephia was clearly understanding. ¡°If you feel like you will be surrounded, run away. ¡°I say I will look after you, but if you show off your courage, you will end up in trouble.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t try to run away.¡± Are you re-committing to yourself? Sephia wasn¡¯t scared at all even though it was her first time fighting dozens of orcs. Dio was worried that his overconfidence might be poisonous, but he was somewhat relieved by Sephia¡¯s next words. ¡°I¡¯ll still be careful.¡± Pride brings destruction even to the strong. It was clear that Sephia, who understood this, would be able to easily end this battle. ¡°good. ¡°I will take care of the rest, so you take full responsibility for the guard post.¡± ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± After Dio¡¯s words, Sepia checked the equipment she was carrying once again. The durability of the crystal bow, the number of arrows, and the Lycan Kukri knife. Dio, who took his eyes off Sepia¡¯s appearance, sent a signal at the right time. ¡°now!¡± Ping ¨C As soon as Dio finished speaking, the bowstring was pulled back. The arrow fired with the crystal bow cut through the wind and pierced the chest of the orc on top of the guard post. Deep! ¡°Kuwoeook!¡± An orc hit by an arrow screams. Afterwards, Sepia ran forward and Dio followed behind her. Ding-dating- ¡°They¡¯re here!¡± ¡°I scold you. ¡°Gurgling! Two orcs rushed towards Sepia, who was heading straight to the guard post. But the two orcs could not reach Sepia. Suddenly! ¡°Kueeeeek!¡± The full-scale fight began, starting with Dio, who cut down those orcs in one go. * * * ¡°Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!¡± thud! An orc falls down with the sound of a pig being slaughtered. ¡°Whew¡­¡± Sephia, who had completely taken out the last remaining orcs, sighed and jumped down from under the guard post. ¡°Good work.¡± Dio handed Sepia some water, and Sephia drank the water without saying a word. It was quite a difficult battle for Sepia, but thanks to Dio¡¯s support, she won the battle without any major injuries. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [D.O.] [Status Window] : 98 : Forgotten Prosecutor [Contractor] : Sepia : 49 : ??? ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®Sepia¡¯s level has risen considerably.¡¯ Dio looked at the sepia status window and smiled with satisfaction. ¡®If you grow up a little more, I can give you proper equipment.¡¯ Dio will soon be level 100. Of course, there is no big change. Normally, he would become explosively stronger by wearing equipment limited to level 100, but that ended at level 90. However, the situation of Sephia, who is about to reach level 50, is different from Dio. ¡®If only I knew the class clearly, I could give you more efficient equipment. ¡®It¡¯s a shame.¡¯ Although the Crystal Bow was a powerful item, it could not kill the orcs in one blow. If Sepia had the strongest equipment appropriate for her level, the battle would have been much easier. Still, the arrows sufficiently lowered the combat power of the Orcs, so they were well worth the unique grade. ¡®Thanks to this, Sepia was able to take over the guard post.¡¯ Afterwards, it was natural that the injured Orcs were no match for Sepia.

As Dio instructed, Sephia took advantage of the limited space and reliably dealt with the Orcs coming up through close combat. If you arm yourself with high-grade items that match Sepia¡¯s level, rather than training items that have no level limit, you will become much stronger than this. ¡°Will the witch stay still even though we made such a mess?¡± ¡°You must be angry.¡± ¡°Huh? Then you can¡¯t!¡± Sepia¡¯s cry of incomprehensibility. Seeing her like that, Dio just smiled. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 43 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 43Episode 43 Dio and Sepia regroup once again before entering the cave. Unlike Sephia, who carefully packed her weapons under the pressure of meeting the witch, Dio only took out a few items from his inventory. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. ¡°Because there will be no need to fight.¡± As Dio spoke, Sephia, who was soaked in the blood of the orcs, poured the remaining water in the water bottle on her head. ¡°But we still have to prepare.¡± Sepia where the blood was roughly wiped away with running water. Seeing that she has become quite tough, Dio wonders if his education policy is right? I had a thought. ¡®Being brave isn¡¯t a bad thing, but¡­¡¯ Dio, who didn¡¯t want to argue anymore with Sepia¡¯s personality change, shook his head. Anyway, after completing all preparations, they moved forward toward the cave where the witch was. Tiring! [The orc cave in Hafner Valley has been discovered.] Entry message provided by the system. Dio traced his memories and moved forward in a familiar manner. While walking deeper into the cave following the torch attached to the wall, Sepia opened her mouth. ¡°Are they all just the orcs outside?¡± Dio shook his head in response to Sepia¡¯s question. ¡°No, there are no orc shamans left.¡± He is an experiment that the Shadow Witch put a lot of effort into and is the seemingly fake boss of the Orc Den. If you catch the orc shaman and perform a complex gimmick, a secret room will open and you will encounter a witch. ¡°Then do I have to fight the orc shaman too?¡± ¡°No, if you kill that too, the witch won¡¯t even listen to your story.¡± Dio¡¯s purpose is to seek the witch¡¯s cooperation. There was no way I would feel good about defeating the orcs who were already the witch¡¯s experiments and workers. Additionally, dealing with the orc shaman and making conversation with the shadow witch even more difficult is something Dio would not like to do. ¡°Then how¡­?¡± Dio stopped in his tracks at Sepia¡¯s question and pulled out the torch from the wall. Then, Dio¡¯s action is to light the lower part of the wall with a torch instead of the deep passage. ¡°We will avoid the orc shaman and go straight to the witch¡¯s laboratory.¡± Where Dio pointed, there was a hole that a person could only enter by leaning forward, and Sephia looked at it as if it were dumbfounded. ¡°¡­Isn¡¯t it a drain?¡± ¡°no. It¡¯s a shortcut. ¡°If you look at the entrance like this, it¡¯s quite spacious.¡± ¡°Is it really okay to come in here?¡± ¡°Do you see the knee marks inside here? ¡°It must be a sign that they were still passing by until recently.¡± Squeak ¨C Dio opened the iron door that looked like the entrance to a drain, bowed his head and entered, and Sepia reluctantly followed behind him. At the time when D.O. discovered this hole, there was a story about it in a chatroom where people were talking about it. ¡®The people were excited to see if they would find the first bug on the order board, which is famous for being bug-free.¡¯ However, as time passed, the consensus was that the stagnant items were not bugs. Order board with high degree of freedom. I realized that the witch¡¯s actions, which were just a program, were strangely realistic. The established theory is that a witch who was too lazy to perform a gimmick when entering a room seems to have dug the hole herself. ¡®That¡¯s why the order board seemed more realistic.¡¯ Anyway, Dio and Sepia went forward through the shortcut and soon kicked out the exit, which was barred just like the entrance. Kang ¨C Dio, who came out of the hole first, straightened his bent back when faced with a large space and looked around. ¡°Whew-¡± Dio pushed aside the pile of books hanging at his feet and let out a deep breath. The place where Dio and Sephia arrived was none other than the witch¡¯s laboratory. Miscellaneous objects presumed to be research materials were lying around on the floor, and flasks containing various drugs were lined up on the desk. And a person sitting in a rocking chair in the center with his back to him. ¡°Are you there?¡± Dio¡¯s greeting, pretending to be polite even though he clearly saw that there was someone there. Kikigeek ¨C At this, the witch¡¯s head slowly turned. ¡°Hee haha¡­ hee hee¡­.¡± The sight of the witch laughing as if she were delirious was truly terrifying. ¡°You¡¯ve come to the right place.¡± ¡°Is that a witch?¡± Sepia whispered softly. Well, it was worth it. Tangled hair. Crooked makeup. A dirty dress with a lot of fraying. The Witch of Shadow is much more gaunt and shabby than what you would normally think of when you think of a ¡®witch¡¯. ¡°Hehe¡­ Orcs¡­ my potatoes¡­ have to last another half a year¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same that we¡¯re running out of food.¡± ¡°Are you going to talk calmly now?¡± The witch¡¯s shadow began to sway, and Sephia pulled the hem of Dio¡¯s clothes in response to the creepy hostility radiating towards the witch. ¡°I had prepared it in advance¡­¡± Unlike Sepia, who felt ominous, Dio was rummaging through his inner pockets, looking for something. The witch got up from her chair and slowly approached them, extending her hand. ¡°Each piece costs a lot of research money¡­ Now there are no orcs to harvest the potatoes¡­¡± Ugh ¨C the shadows created by the light illuminating the room begin to shake and sway. ¡°Tch!¡± While the witch was chanting a spell, Sephia tried to aim her bow, but was blocked by Dio¡¯s hand. ¡°die!¡± The moment the witch screamed and stretched out her hand, all the shadows she controlled moved towards Dio and Sepia. Jangle- A pouch that came out of Dio¡¯s arms. The clear sound that predicted what was inside brought back a vitality that had never been present in the witch¡¯s eyes. ¡°¡­!¡± The witch, who had come back to life, stopped and the shadow that was right in front of Dio¡¯s feet also stopped moving. Silence lingered in the room for a while, and the shadow witch was the first to come to her senses. ¡°What is it!¡± A shadow witch stammering and shouting. Dio, looking at her, began to speak the lines he had prepared. ¡°hello. ¡°I am Dio, a councilor from the East who came here across the Eastern Sea.¡± ¡°lawmaker?¡± ¡°In our Eastern Continent, there is a custom of giving guests what they want most when hosting a housewarming party.¡± ¡°What kind of houses? ¡°Why you?¡± ¡°I heard that there was a witch seeking knowledge in Hafner Valley, so I came here to get help.¡± ¡°The guy who wants to help me annihilates my orcs!?¡± Through the conversation, the Shadow Witch became angry again, but Dio explained without losing his composure. ¡°I never dreamed that the orcs blocking the road were the witch¡¯s minions.¡± ¡°How do you know my secret passage?¡± S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°I found it by chance while wandering down the street. ¡°I would like to let go of my anger and have a mutually beneficial conversation.¡± As Dio nodded toward the pocket on the table, the witch followed his gaze and headed back to the pocket. ¡°¡­.¡± The witch looked. Something shining through that gaping gap. ¡°What do you think of me?¡± A shadow witch who takes her eyes off her pocket. But it didn¡¯t change that her eyes were shaking. Tak ¨C Dio left the confused shadow witch behind and took out another bag filled with gold coins. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrr ¨C Gold pouring out from inside the second pocket. ¡°I guess this isn¡¯t enough. ¡°I had no shame.¡± When Dio took out the third pouch from inside his arms, the shadow witch swallowed her saliva without realizing it. Gulp- ¡®How much is that? With that money, you don¡¯t need to buy a hen¡­no, you don¡¯t need to buy a hen, right? Master said. The path of a witch is always difficult. The lesson is not to lose your dignity and dignity in seeking knowledge even if you are starving and struggling in poverty. I will not be deceived by money given by that suspicious uninvited guest. ¡°Are you¡­ going to buy me with money? ¡°It¡¯s impossible¡­ it¡¯s impossible!¡± Because it was too much money to say, the Shadow Witch looked restless even after spitting it out. ¡°Ah, these are the price of the lives of the orcs outside. ¡°The real gift is here.¡± Dio smiled at the witch¡¯s gaze moving along his hand. ¡°How about this?¡± ¡°Huh!¡± A red bead that Dio placed on the table. When the shadow witch saw that, she took a breath and opened her mouth. ¡°That is the essence of flame!?¡± The item that the Shadow Witch recognized was none other than the Essence of Flame piled up in the Rivernos warehouse. While Dio was taking the essence of flame for his skill requirements, he put a few more in his inventory. Flame Essence, an extremely strong material that is difficult to obtain separately, is coveted not only by players but also by NPCs on the order board. ¡®In particular, the Shadow Witch and her teacher were conducting research related to fire.¡¯ Dio recalled the witch¡¯s research journal he had read when he looked through her laboratory. I don¡¯t know why a witch specializes in manipulating shadows and is interested in fire. It may be that he was researching to overcome his compatibility, or he was thinking of converting to fire, but it is not important to Dio. The only thing that matters is that the Flame Essence is currently one of the Shadow Witch¡¯s most coveted items. ¡°It is a beautiful stone mined from the Eastern Continent. It is great for ornamental purposes and is perfect as a housewarming gift. ¡°I thought it would brighten up the room and fit well in this place, the witch¡¯s residence.¡± ¡°A stone? ¡°You¡¯re using this precious thing for ornamental purposes?¡± ¡°Oh, by the way, I heard that it is used as a rare ingredient here. I have a lot, so I will give it to the witch. ¡°If you need it.¡± ¡°A lot of yams?¡± Gulp ¨C The sound of the witch swallowing her saliva is heard. Even Sephia, who was in the third party, could only watch in amazement the sight of the witch she had only heard of through rumors fidgeting. ¡°This¡­¡± Did he remember his teacher¡¯s teachings about self-esteem? A shadow witch whose tightly clenched hands were shaking. Her efforts to not be deceived by the wealth in front of her are incredible. ¡°Well, if this isn¡¯t what you want, there¡¯s nothing you can do. There were so many that I was going to give you as much as you wanted¡­¡± ¡°Wait!¡± When Dio raised the flame essence again as if he was disappointed, the shadow witch quickly grabbed his wrist. ¡°Please sit down first.¡± Master said. Dignity and dignity. And if you¡¯re looking for something more important than a witch¡¯s pride, don¡¯t miss the opportunity. ¡°What do you need?¡± The potatoes the orcs were harvesting no longer remained in the shadow witch¡¯s mind. The opportunity the Shadow Witch wants is money. And it was just more money. * * * ¡°aha! That¡¯s the kid you heard about back then. ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot of stories.¡± Before starting a full-fledged conversation, the Shadow Witch opened her mouth to Sepia, who was sitting across from her. ¡°Do you know me?¡± ¡°I know. ¡°A chosen one with the power of the sun!¡± The Shadow Witch¡¯s first words after recognizing Sepia¡¯s silver hair. Not only Sepia was surprised by this, but Dio was also quite embarrassed. ¡®How does the Witch of Shadow know that? Is this person related to Ludens? Then it¡¯s not that surprising. Any vampire who has lived for over a thousand years would know most witches. However¡­¡¯ Their relationship is such that they share the story of Sepia, who is said to have the power of the sun. This was completely unexpected for Dio, so he couldn¡¯t help but feel confused in his mind. ¡°My name is Evelyn Lapis. I am a disciple of the great but miserly Witch of Balance. Feel free to call me Evelyn.¡± The Shadow Witch, who noticed that Dio was wary, formally introduced herself. Is it really necessary to mention the word miser? It was a passage that showed that Evelyn was somewhat dissatisfied with her teacher. ¡°How did you hear about us from a person called Master before you could recognize us?¡± Dio did not take a low-key stance because a meeting that came for a simple favor could turn into a very important story. The witch¡¯s help was optional, not mandatory, and she knew that asking for help alone would be limited in uncovering the truth. Even if you have to attack the Shadow Witch¡­ ¡°Oh, don¡¯t be too wary. Our teacher is one of the seven stars of Walpurgis Night. After hearing the same story from Ludens, I also received advice from my teacher.¡± ¡°Walpurgis Night?¡± Dio frowned at the unfamiliar words Evelyn uttered. ¡°Oh, should I tell you this first? But¡­ it¡¯s a top secret¡­¡± Evelyn, trailing off, glances at the essence of flame placed on the table. ¡°take it.¡± ¡°haha! Really? ¡°You won¡¯t get bitten later?¡± Evelyn said he would give it to her from the beginning, but she couldn¡¯t get her hands on it because it was so precious. When Dio¡¯s permission was clearly given, Evelyn quickly snatched up the essence of flame in case he changed his mind. ¡°So? What is Walpurgis Night?¡± Dio snapped his fingers and urged Evelyn, who was ecstatic at the fact that she possessed the essence of flame. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right¡­¡± Surviving as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 44 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 44Episode 44 : Walpurgis Night. ¡°It can be seen as a secret meeting of seven stars united for one purpose.¡± Dio frowned at the incomprehensible words from Evelyn¡¯s first words. ¡°so. ¡°What are those seven stars?¡± ¡°We call the seven most powerful and greatest believers among those who worship the sun the Seven Stars. My teacher is one of them. ¡°The same goes for Ludens.¡± When Evelyn spoke as if she was proud, Dio felt puzzled at this point. The Witch of Balance is one of the Five Stars, which can be seen as a representative boss-level monster in the Order Board, and is said to be the strongest witch. ¡®Are the pentagram and seven stars separate entities? Or is it like the Witch of Balance, a pentagram but also called the Seven Stars?¡¯ For Dio, who is hearing the name ¡°Seven Stars¡± for the first time, this is enough to be suspicious. However, if we take Ludens as an example, it may not necessarily be a pentagram. ¡°Traces of the now forgotten power of the sun are hidden all over the continent.¡± Evelyn¡¯s explanation continued, awakening Dio¡¯s thoughts. ¡°The mission of the seven stars is to find that very thing! ¡°Walpurgis Night is a gathering created to exchange information.¡± ¡°What are you trying to do by finding it?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know exactly. Master said that the world order would be corrected through the resurrection of the sun¡­¡± Dio looked cautious at Evelyn¡¯s words, which he was not sure about. ¡®The system is leading me to the path of the sun. In the end, I may have to move with the same purpose as the seven stars.¡¯ Dio decided that it was also important to collect information about Evelyn¡¯s teacher and the ¡®Seven Stars¡¯ of the same level as Ludens. Ludens¡¯ true power is unknown, but the combat power of the ¡®Witch of Balance¡¯ is something Dio knows well. ¡®As the title suggests, if there are seven beings at the same level as the Pentagram¡­ they might be able to compete with the Luna Church.¡¯ When looking at the current situation, one cannot help but think of the friction with the followers of the moon, which is in opposition to the sun. However, we must also keep in mind that even if the Seven Stars are greater than expected, they do not reach the scale of the Luna Church. If you are not pushed out of power, there is no need to hide without the player knowing. After organizing his thoughts, Dio opened his mouth to Evelyn. ¡°Can all witches be considered believers in the sun?¡± ¡°Well, the matter about the sun is a top secret matter, so it seems like even witches keep it from each other.¡± ¡°Are you really good at telling me that you¡¯re hiding it?¡± ¡°Of course, there is a child who was chosen. ¡°Sun believers are under a contract not to reveal the existence of Walpurgis Night or the Seven Stars.¡± Evelyn pointed to Sepia and answered as if it were obvious. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t recognized Sepia, I wouldn¡¯t have said anything.¡± S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°Anyway, several witches, including me, are devoting ourselves to researching the power of the sun under the direction of our teacher.¡± Evelyn grumbled and said. ¡®So there was a lot of fire-related information in the research log.¡¯ It is understandable that one¡¯s eyes turn to the essence of flame. It is not just a material that is difficult to obtain, but the essence of flame is also an item related to the forgotten swordsman. Dio, who had finally understood, nodded, and Evelyn continued speaking. ¡°Still, even witches who don¡¯t know the existence of the seven stars will be curious about Master¡¯s research.¡± ¡°I guess so.¡± Dio also understood the influence of the Witch of Balance, so he was convinced by Evelyn¡¯s words. Every time she moved in seclusion, great confusion came. ¡°What exactly do we study?¡± ¡°What can I do? A research paper on regaining the power of the sun. Why am I doing research on a forgotten power from thousands of years ago?¡± Evelyn suddenly expressed dissatisfaction while answering Dio¡¯s words. ¡°lets think. I¡¯m only 26 years old. ¡°Can you imagine the digging power of the seven stars that have lived for over thousands of years?¡± ¡°You tell me to distinguish between what I can do and what I cannot do, old miser! Did they provide generous research funding in the first place? ¡°I don¡¯t understand why a woman with so much money is being so salty!¡± ¡°The reason they have to take care of the house I don¡¯t have and farm with orcs is all because of this damn research!¡± Evelyn¡¯s outburst continued, but Dio didn¡¯t have the courage to stop her anger. Seeing her¡­ reminded me of my classmate who went to graduate school and lamented about his situation while drinking. ¡°But still. ¡°Isn¡¯t it because the master likes Evelyn so much that he trusts and relies on her?¡± Sepia glanced at Dio, who seemed to be thinking nothing, and reluctantly comforted Evelyn. Evelyn looked at Sepia with eyes that seemed moved. ¡°Do you know how to see people? I was taken in by my teacher when I was 8 years old. And the word that this person is the ¡®Witch of Shadow¡¯, the youngest person to be given this nickname.¡± ¡°Wow¡­ that¡¯s amazing.¡± Evelyn¡¯s nose rose to the point where Sepia awkwardly disagreed with her words and boasted about herself. If things continued like this, he might have to stay up all night listening to her, so Dio quickly explained his business. ¡°Anyway, you¡¯re doing research too, right? ¡°Then can you bring out Sepia¡¯s latent power?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Dio pointed to Sepia, remembering why he came here. Evelyn looked Sepia up and down for a moment, then motioned for her to give her hand. In response, Dio nodded to Sepia, who was looking at him. ¡°Hmm. Hmm.¡± Wow ¨C Evelyn¡¯s shadow, holding Sepia¡¯s hand, began to surround Sepia¡¯s body as if scanning. After simply checking, Evelyn removed her shadow and opened her mouth while looking at Dio and Sepia in turn. ¡°Do your abilities come into play when your emotions are strong?¡± ¡°There are times like that¡­¡± ¡°I think it almost appears when my life is in danger.¡± Sepia added words on Dio¡¯s behalf. ¡°every time. ¡°I¡¯m unconscious and I don¡¯t know what to do.¡± ¡°Hmm. ¡°It means the manifestation of unconsciousness.¡± Evelyn, who was listening to Sepia, began muttering to herself. ¡°They say that the power that emerges from the unconscious is the power of ¡®ego¡¯¡­ This may be a much greater power than what I heard¡­¡± Evelyn stopped speaking and raised her head. ¡°Your goal is to enable us to consciously control this power, right? ¡°I can¡¯t help you with that.¡± ¡°I guess that¡¯s true too.¡± Dio didn¡¯t have much expectations because there was no way Evelyn could do what the vampire Lord Ludens couldn¡¯t. Still, just finding out about Walpurgis Night and the existence of the seven stars was a good harvest. Dio thought there was nothing more to find out from Evelyn and tried to get up, but an unexpected story came out of Evelyn¡¯s mouth. ¡°But if it¡¯s just to control losing consciousness and running amok¡­ I think my powers might be helpful.¡± ¡°what?¡± At Evelyn¡¯s words, Dio¡¯s half-rising posture from the chair stopped. The reason for trying to unleash the power of sepia is simple. Sepia¡¯s unlocked power not only helps her survive, but also helps Dio. Moreover, Sepia¡¯s latent power is deeply related to Dio¡¯s class and main quest, so her awakening is essential. However, putting these reasons aside, there were other areas that D.O. was concerned about. ¡®Because it¡¯s dangerous.¡¯ The risk of not knowing when and where an uncontrollable force may run amok is high. The longer Sepia cannot handle this unknown force, the more we must always keep that risk in mind. The words Evelyn spoke just now could be a solution to that danger, so it was natural for Dio to criticize her. ¡°how?¡± In response to Dio¡¯s urging, Evelyn got up from her seat and moved to a place where her shadow could be easily seen. ¡°I am using my shadow to awaken another consciousness.¡± ¡°What does that mean?¡± Sepia looked puzzled by Evelyn¡¯s explanation, and Dio didn¡¯t understand either. ¡°What do you think the shadow is?¡± ¡°The black shape of an object caused by light not being able to pass through the object?¡± ¡°¡­? ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°no. continue.¡± Dio, who saw Evelyn¡¯s incomprehensible expression, realized that scientific knowledge was useless here and quickly shut his mouth. ¡°Many inner parts of humans exist in the shadows.¡± Evelyn lightly flicked the magic wand that was about the length of a tree branch that she had prepared in advance. Then, a figure rose from Evelyn¡¯s shadow and a shadow human with a body identical to Evelyn was created. ¡°This is not just a shadow following me. ¡°It¡¯s like another consciousness that thinks and moves on its own without my commands.¡± Dio and Sephia tried to understand Evelyn¡¯s words as best as they could. ¡°Are you talking about another personality?¡± ¡°yes. ¡°Are you smart too?¡± Evelyn smiled as if she was satisfied with Sephia¡¯s words. Of course, Dio, who lived in modern times, did not understand it easily. ¡°I don¡¯t know what the nature of the shadow consciousness is. However, it can be seen that it is safer to have self-consciousness that knows how to think than to act unconsciously, not knowing what kind of sudden action you will take.¡± ¡°I still don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°There is no need to understand. ¡°Actually, this method is only theoretical, and there is no guarantee that it will lead to good results.¡± ¡°In the end, this is just as dangerous.¡± Evelyn said that there was no guarantee. Dio sighed, saying yes. ¡°It could be gambling or it could be expedient. But don¡¯t worry. ¡°This is literally the next best solution in case you can¡¯t reach the best.¡± Despite Dio¡¯s scolding, Evelyn continued to talk about what was so exciting. ¡°I still don¡¯t know what exactly the power of the sun is. How could I know something that even my teacher doesn¡¯t know? But I can help you train to handle that power.¡± ¡°Training?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°Do you know how to use magic?¡± ¡°no.¡± Sepia shook her head in response to Evelyn¡¯s question. It wasn¡¯t that Dio didn¡¯t think about teaching Sephia magic. However, I soon realized that it was impossible and stopped just thinking about it. Among Dio¡¯s max level characters, there is also an archmage. However, Dio knows nothing about how magic is used and the principles behind it. ¡®Just using a skill uses magic, so how can I teach that to Sepia?¡¯ When thinking about ¡®skill¡¯, magic is something that appears automatically, so the theory was completely unnecessary for players. Another problem is the transfer letter. During this time, D.O. worked on the order board and changed jobs through a job change book. So, without a job change book, I couldn¡¯t figure out how the residents of this world became wizards and used magic. The problem was that there was currently no wizard class change book. In any case, Evelyn looked sad when she heard Sepia say she had never learned magic. ¡°Hmm¡­ I think that if we manage mana and learn the magic arts of our witches, we will be able to prepare for the future.¡± Evelyn said that it would be better to deal with mana first before properly handling the unknown power of the sun. Dio nodded as if her validity made sense. In the first place, if Sephia, who has high magic-related stats, could use general magic, she would become much stronger than she is now. ¡°Can you teach me?¡± Dio asked Evelyn, who could teach magic much better than him. ¡°well. After all, magic requires a talent for manipulating mana.¡± ¡°Are you saying Sephia has no talent? Even though I have the power of the sun?¡± ¡°The power of the sun and ordinary magic have completely different properties. Magic basically uses mana found in nature and the body¡­the power of the sun is closer to divine power than mana. Moreover, it is difficult to say that he possesses magical talent when he cannot control the power of the sun.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t have talent, you can¡¯t use magic at all?¡± Sepia interjected with regret at Evelyn¡¯s negative words. ¡°I guess we can use it. Because mana exists for everyone. However, if you do not have talent, you may not be able to create even a small spark before you die of old age.¡± Evelyn said, raising her index finger and creating a small flame. Sepia clenched her fists as she looked at the brightly shining fire. ¡°Can you teach me? ¡°You still don¡¯t know if you have talent or not, right?¡± Sepia¡¯s will to learn anything to become stronger. Evelyn seemed to think about this for a moment and then moved behind Sepia. ¡°Let¡¯s do a simple test. Because I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever felt mana. ¡°I¡¯ll help you with that.¡± Evelyn said, placing her hand on Sephia¡¯s back. At this, Sephia tensed up and straightened her back. ¡°Don¡¯t be too nervous. Just feeling my mana flowing through you is a great achievement.¡± ¡°Ah yes.¡± ¡°Close your eyes and feel it.¡± Sephia closed her eyes at Evelyn¡¯s instructions. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 45 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 45Episode 45 Woong ¨C The blue light symbolizing mana flickered in Evelyn¡¯s hand, and Dio watched silently from the side. ¡°how is it? ¡°Do you feel something?¡± ¡°Well, I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Sepia became anxious at Evelyn¡¯s words and tried to concentrate even more. However, no matter how hard she tried, Evelyn comforted Sepia as if it was okay to see that she didn¡¯t even feel any mana. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to regret. ¡°It would be surprising if you felt it right away.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I use magic without feeling mana?¡± ¡°of course. ¡°Feeling mana is the starting point of magic.¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± ¡°And even if you feel mana, it doesn¡¯t mean you can use magic right away. ¡°It takes a lot of practice.¡± After Evelyn¡¯s explanation, Sepia concentrated once again, but the results did not improve at all. ¡°You can stop. As expected, the power of the sun and magic seem to be separate issues.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Evelyn put out her hand, and Sepia opened her eyes with regret. ¡°How many times can I help you get better?¡± Dio asked Evelyn while looking at Sephia who looked regretful. ¡°I guess I can try. ¡°There is a separate meditation method to awaken mana.¡± ¡°meditation? ¡°How long does that take?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know that either. ¡°If you are somewhat talented, you may see results in about a month.¡± ¡°That must be difficult.¡± You can¡¯t spend a month on something you¡¯re not sure about. Dio decided to give up on teaching Sephia magic. ¡°All business is done. sepia. ¡°I¡¯ll just go¡­ okay?¡± After finishing his conversation with Evelyn, Dio was speechless the moment he looked at Sepia. Sepia was disappointed with the results of her talent. She recalled the small flame Evelyn had created. It seemed very simple at first glance¡­ Sepia raised her index finger as if Evelyn had simply summoned fire. Assuming I felt mana, I just thought about it. It was just that, but an unexpected and surprising result occurred. Hwareuk ¨C A small ember rising. ¡°How?¡± Evelyn could not close her mouth in shock at the incredible sight. Was it a lie to say that I couldn¡¯t feel mana? No, even if that were the case, I¡¯ve never seen anyone able to use magic right after feeling mana. Didn¡¯t it take even her, who was recognized by the Witch of Balance, a week to create a proper spark? Evelyn¡¯s surprise did not end here. Fuhuaak ¨C The spark created by Sepia starts to grow bigger and bigger, and doesn¡¯t an enormous amount of heat begin to fill the lab? ¡°Huh!¡± ¡°turn off! turn off!¡± Dio and Evelyn retreated from the massive flames and shouted at Sepia. ¡°Well, how do I get rid of this?¡± Evelyn could tell from Sepia¡¯s stuttering words that it was true that she couldn¡¯t feel mana. If I felt Mana, I wouldn¡¯t have done such a dangerous act. ¡°Aaaah! ¡°My materials!¡± Evelyn, who was in danger of burning the research journals placed around her, quickly waved her staff and shouted. ¡°Aqua Cage!¡± A strong stream of water spewed out from Evelyn¡¯s staff and swirled around Sephia. The stream of water began to slowly subdue the flame, and Sephia clasped her fingers with her other hand to quell the losing flame. Cheeeeeeeek ¨C The sound of water evaporating due to powerful flames filled the room. Was it because of Evelyn¡¯s quick action, or was it Sepia¡¯s will to put out the fire? Fortunately, the fire was completely extinguished, and Sepia was the only one left standing alone in the center of the lab. ¡°How can I use magic if I can¡¯t feel mana?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not magic, is it?¡± Dio opened his mouth to Evelyn¡¯s words, which he could not understand based on his common sense. Could it be that the flame created by sepia is not magic, but the latent power of the sun? However, Evelyn vehemently denied Dio¡¯s objection and opened her mouth. ¡°No, that¡¯s magic. ¡°What I felt when the fire surged was definitely a wave of mana!¡± Evelyn hurriedly ran to Sephia and started looking around her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you feel the mana in the flame you used?¡± ¡°yes? Yes¡­just the warm heat¡­.¡± Sepia must have been soaked in Evelyn¡¯s water attribute magic. However, she was as soft as if she had been dried over a warm fire. Evelyn, who noticed this, could not hide her excitement. ¡°Warm? ¡°It was at a level where if I did something wrong, everything would be burned down¡­ Is this the magic power of ¡®ego¡¯ that I only heard about?¡± Sepia looked at Dio with an incomprehensible expression as Evelyn spoke excitedly. ¡°What happens if this happens? ¡°Is the magic of the ego something you can¡¯t teach me?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s actually easier for me to teach! If you know the theory, you can use any magic! ¡°You can use magic even if you don¡¯t feel mana!¡± Dio nodded at Evelyn¡¯s words, who could not hide her excitement. ¡®Sepia¡¯s abilities¡­maybe similar to the player¡¯s.¡¯ Use MP and use spells you know. A simple way for players to use magic. Maybe it has something to do with the pledge of liberation. ¡®If that¡¯s the case, you¡¯ll eventually have to raise your level before you can use strong magic.¡¯ If Dio¡¯s thoughts were correct, there was a high probability that Sepia would be restricted in terms of level. Just like a level 100 player cannot learn Hellfire. ¡®Eveline¡¯s level is 150. I think she can learn 2nd job advancement level magic.¡¯ However, there is one problem that D.O realized late. ¡°How long does it take to learn everything about magic?¡± ¡°The study of magic is endless, so what¡¯s the use of making conclusions? ¡°It took me about half a year to learn just the basic theory from my teacher.¡± ¡°Half a year?¡± ¡°What can I say, that¡¯s really fast! ¡°I have to be talented enough to become the Witch of Balance¡¯s disciple!¡± Evelyn, infuriated by Dio¡¯s words, shouted. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in your talent. ¡°The problem is time.¡± ¡°Why does time matter?¡± ¡°I have a lot of work to do. ¡°I can¡¯t leave Sephia here alone¡­¡± Dio frowned, remembering the pledge of liberation. However, Evelyn looked at Dio and opened her mouth as if asking what was the problem. ¡°Can¡¯t I just follow along?¡± ¡°what?¡± Dio made a bewildered expression at Evelyn¡¯s unexpected suggestion. ¡°What about the research here?¡± ¡°There is someone here who has the power of the sun, so of course I should follow him!¡± Evelyn speaks proudly, pointing to Sepia. Well, it¡¯s not that I couldn¡¯t understand her choice. ¡®It is true that the Witch of Balance trusts him. It would be a good idea for Evelyn to keep a close eye on Sepia, at least to help her teacher¡¯s research.¡¯ Dio recalled the past when he had a fierce battle with the Witch of Balance. ¡®If you fight the Witch of Balance after defeating the Shadow Witch, you can face her sincere anger.¡¯ S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was clear that Evelyn¡¯s joining would be helpful to Dio in many ways. Anyway, Evelyn is a witch who has continued to research the power of the sun. He could be seen as the best companion who could help Sepia in many ways, not just magic training. ¡°hmm.¡± Dio stroked his chin and looked at Evelyn. I thought about magic training based on the player¡¯s standards, so I wasn¡¯t concerned about the learning period. Although it is clearly beneficial, accepting someone as a colleague is not an easy decision to make. Because all the witches Dio has encountered so far were greedy and selfish. Of course, we now know that Evelyn and her teacher are favorable to the power of the sun, but still, we cannot help but be cautious. ¡°It¡¯s okay if I follow along and help. Nothing will ever disturb you! Moreover, although it is called a grand study, it is just observation and recording, so there is no harm to Sepia!¡± Evelyn shouted confidently and appealed to herself. Sepia smiled at her appearance, which did not show the slightest hint of darkness, and Dio turned his head and opened his mouth. ¡°What about you, Sepia?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Sephia smiled once again, looking at Evelyn, who was giving a pleading look in her eyes instead of answering Dio¡¯s question. ¡°i look forward to. ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Master Shi?¡± Evelyn is startled by Sepia¡¯s answer. Is it an illusion that the dark circles around her eyes are instantly fading away? Evelyn stuttered to the extent that it contrasted with the stoic personality she had shown earlier. ¡°Am I the teacher?¡± ¡°sure. You will learn a lot in the future. ¡°You should call me Master.¡± Is it because he was ruled by the Witch of Balance for 20 years? Evelyn¡¯s eyes, who never dreamed that the day would come when she would be called teacher, became bright. ¡°That¡¯s right! I will teach you well. Huh, this is it. This is not the time for me to be like this. Are you going to leave right away? ¡°I¡¯ll get ready too.¡± Evelyn has been trapped in this gloomy cave and has not been able to meet the right people. The sadness that had been growing through my familiar over the slow progress of research is rising. Those days are now goodbye. If we were to say that we were going on an adventure following Sephia, who has the power of the sun, the Witch of Balance would certainly have reason to understand. Evelyn began going through the piles of documents that had been burned by Sepia on the heart-pounding adventure she had dreamed of someday. ¡°I will help you too.¡± Sephia stood up and Evelyn¡¯s eyes, touched by the sight, turned red. ¡°are you okay! I just find what I need. okay. Would you like to go to my room with me? ¡°The first books I received from my teacher are also there.¡± A shadow witch who seemed infinitely lazy. But right now, I was too busy moving that quickly. ¡®It won¡¯t be a big problem.¡¯ An encounter with a shadow witch that I thought would be fortunate if I could just get a clue. However, Dio, who unexpectedly had Shadow Witch Evelyn as his companion, assured that his strength would be strengthened anyway. Because Dio knows well the skills of a level 150 witch. After finishing his thoughts, Dio went to Evelyn¡¯s room where she was packing her luggage. ¡°Take this and this too.¡± ¡°Do these books seem important too?¡± ¡°ah! A magic trick for frog transformation! These are books that a witch should always have with her. thank you.¡± Dio looked at Evelyn and Sephia working hard to pack their bags. Evelyn did not forget to bring not only the materials she had studied so far and books to educate Sepia, but also household tools. ¡°I¡¯m good at cooking too. ¡°I¡¯ll make you stewed potatoes sometime.¡± Sepia could only laugh awkwardly at the sight of Evelyn talking while stuffing a charred frying pan into her subspace pocket. Afterwards, I was able to finish it to some extent only after gathering a broom and dozens of medicine bottles that seemed not to be just for cleaning purposes. ¡°Did you get everything?¡± ¡°huh! Ready! ¡°If you go this way, you can leave right away.¡± Evelyn, who exhaled vigorously at Dio¡¯s words, led the way to the opening leading to the outside. ¡°How many holes did you make?¡± ¡°This is how I feel comfortable.¡± Evelyn, giggling to herself at Dio¡¯s words, took the lead. Dio sighed as the shadow witch, who seemed quite tired, joined him. ¡°Then shall we go too?¡± ¡°yes.¡± One way or another, the immediate joining of the powerful Shadow Witch is sure to be a good start for Dio. However, you cannot let your guard down. A journey to meet Ludens¡¯ acquaintance and proceed with the main quest. The road is an area where it is impossible to predict what dangers may lurk¡­ but that¡¯s okay. ¡®Still, an explosion awaits in the Estel Room.¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 46 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 46Episode 46 A large round table was placed in the center of a windowless room where no outside light came in even though the ceiling was open. A brazier was burning in the center of the round table, illuminating the surroundings instead of moonlight. And on the seven chairs that seemed to each have their own owners, three shadows were swaying along the fire. An angry voice was heard from a person whose appearance was obscured by darkness. ¡°Ludence. Are you sane? ¡°If something like that happened, why didn¡¯t you talk about it at the last meeting?¡± A handsome man whose appearance was not clearly visible, but could be glimpsed through the silhouette. He was angry about something. ¡°Ludens has always been like that.¡± In response to the angry man¡¯s words, another person spoke in a calm voice. ¡°This is not a matter that can be overlooked by saying it has always been like that!¡± bang! As the man, who seemed quite excited, hit the marble floor with his right foot, it seemed as if a huge anger was swirling around in the otherwise quiet temple. It would not be an illusion that the intensity of the dim bonfire became stronger, as if representing that anger. ¡°Huh- so. ¡°Where is the guy who has that power going?¡± After a moment of silence, the man who had calmed his anger sighed and glared at the object of his anger. ¡°I told you to go to Estellum.¡± The old gentleman continued speaking, paying no heed to the angry man. Ludens, a vampire lord and one of the seven stars who serve the sun god. He smiled faintly, remembering the forgotten swordsman he encountered last time. ¡°what? Are you sane? ¡°It¡¯s been over a thousand years since you finally showed up, but are you planning to kill me right away?¡± ¡°Calm down, Crassus.¡± When the man called Crassus showed strong hostility to Ludens, another person who was not involved in their story spoke comfortingly. ¡°Calm down? Look at the empty seats now! Where is Falchetto? The ¡®full moon¡¯ is getting closer!¡± Crassus, unable to bear it any longer, stood up and walked towards Ludens. Rumbling ¨C As Crassus walked away, there was a violent thunder and lightning began to shine brightly in the surrounding area. Crassus ¡®s face was revealed, illuminated by a beam of light that illuminated the darkness. His appearance was so beautiful that it rivaled that of the elves, a race of beauty. In a way, that was natural. Because Crassus was a dark elf, also called a fallen elf. ¡°If what you say is true, he must be the key to regaining the power of the sun. And yet, you are saying that you not only exposed them to the moon chasers, but also guided them to the graveyard of death?¡± S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Crassus raised his hand and shouted, and the throbbing lightning began to gather in his grasp like a lightning rod. Quagwagwagwang! Rather than causing any harm to Crassus, the strong lightning disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only a single figure. At one point, a bow was in Crassus¡¯ hand. Crassus summoned Visaya, a legendary weapon said to wish for protection and victory, and aimed Visaya at Ludens. However, despite the obviously imminent situation, Ludens was still sitting in his chair and just laughed to himself. ¡°Haha, if you really want to fight, just stop.¡± Another person who couldn¡¯t see the fight between Ludens and Crassus opened his mouth. ¡°Mr. Crassus. Think carefully. Fighting between the seven stars is strictly prohibited.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± With continued persuasion, Crassus reluctantly took Visaya, but he did not stop glaring at Ludens. ¡°Is this really what your sun means? Do not be ridiculous. The meaning of the sun I know is different. ¡°I¡¯m going to Estel Room.¡± When Crassus announced his will, Ludens smiled as if telling him to do as he pleased. Crassus, unable to understand Ludens¡¯ intentions, became even more angry and turned his back. I don¡¯t have time to stay here like this. If you make a mistake, the key chosen by the sun¡­ may face the fate of being eaten by a predator without being able to continue the sun¡¯s will. * * * Estunia, located in the northern part of the continent. Even though it is not the northernmost region with a harsh climate, the environment of Etunia must have been cold. ¡°Oh¡­is this supposed to be snow?¡± Winter weather arrived early in the northern region. Dio and his group, who were traveling up the mountain, were able to encounter snowflakes falling from the sky. Evelyn looked at the night sky with her palms spread out as if in wonder. ¡°This is your first time seeing snow?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never been out of the West.¡± ¡°No matter what, if you go up a little bit from the cave you were in, wouldn¡¯t you be able to see the snow easily?¡± When Dio said that she couldn¡¯t understand, Evelyn looked at him as if asking what he was talking about. ¡°How do you view beings called witches? ¡°Any witches who carelessly entered the center were burned to death.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± ¡°It would be difficult for a witch to travel all over the continent unless she was as powerful as you.¡± Dio, convinced by Evelyn¡¯s words, nodded. ¡®Well, if you get caught by the Heretic Questioner, it won¡¯t be a problem.¡¯ Evelyn giggled as she touched the pile of snow piling up on her head to see if it was too cold, and Dio left her behind and looked at Sephia next to him. ¡°Haa, Dio, aren¡¯t you cold?¡± Sepia, who was wearing a heavy coat, put her hands together and blew on them as she spoke. ¡°It¡¯s worth holding on to.¡± After answering Sepia¡¯s question, Dio looked around the cave he had just found. ¡°Luckily we can stop the wind. ¡°Let¡¯s camp here today.¡± ¡°yes. ¡°I¡¯ll make a fire.¡± Sepia confidently stepped forward at Dio¡¯s words, and soon she was able to easily make a fire by raking the branches around her. Fire ¨C ¡°It¡¯s easy to start a fire now, isn¡¯t it?¡± As Sepia created a suitable spark, Evelyn came closer and waved her staff in the air. Then, tree branches and other suitable firewood nearby began to gather following Evelyn¡¯s hand gestures. A bonfire was created in an instant, and Sepia¡¯s eyes lit up at Evelyn. ¡°Compared to my teacher, I still have a long way to go. ¡°I also want to use mana freely like my teacher.¡± ¡°Hehe, this is nothing special. ¡°You¡¯ve become quite accustomed to mana control, so you¡¯ll be able to handle it quickly.¡± Evelyn, who was excited to be called ¡°Master,¡± sat down next to Sepia and started talking about various things. Dio, who was watching their magic class, recalled the journey of the past two weeks. The biggest problem revealed to Sepia is that she cannot feel mana like ordinary wizards. So, Evelyn explained witchcraft and suggested a solution, assuming that the power of the sun was affecting Sepia¡¯s senses. ¡®If you can¡¯t feel mana, you have no choice but to assume you feel it yourself.¡¯ The evaluation given to Evelyn by Dio, who was listening next to her, was that she was an ¡®eccentric genius.¡¯ Even Dio, who had no knowledge of magic, thought the idea of pretending to feel mana was nonsense. However, as Evelyn burned her passion for education, saying that it was theoretically possible, Dio watched her actions in silence. ¡®Mana can be thicker or lighter than the blood flowing in the body. Sometimes it¡¯s warm and sometimes it¡¯s cold.¡¯ Evelyn explained her sense of mana to Sepia, and Sepia tried to imagine the sense of mana that Evelyn described. At first there wasn¡¯t much progress. Dio, who was watching the process, suggested that they just try using magic and get used to it, but Evelyn insisted that they not interfere with her education. No, does it make sense for sensations to be conveyed through words? The moment you think: What is this? Isn¡¯t the flame created by sepia stable and controlled, unlike the first time when the intensity fluctuated erratically? ¡®As expected, I was right! ¡®Remember this feeling.¡¯ When Sephia successfully demonstrated restrained magic, Evelyn was overjoyed as if it were her own work. Is it Sepia¡¯s talent or is the Shadow Witch¡¯s theory correct? Anyway, from then on, Sepia was able to use mana without any problems to create fire. Dio was now lost in thought as he looked at Evelyn, who was teaching him the basics of magic of different attributes, and Sepia, who was listening to her. ¡®The magic I¡¯m learning now is ultimately intended to lay the foundation for using Sepia¡¯s potential power. There is still no clue to the power presumed to be divine power.¡¯ Dio began to seriously think about being an acquaintance of Ludens. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [We discovered the existence of a forgotten believer who survived thousands of years ago. Find them and find out the history behind the forgotten swordsman.] [Reward: Class 1st Awakening] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio, who was reading the quest window once again, found Ludens in Estellum. It was not difficult to see that Chinwoo was also a forgotten believer. ¡®Is it one of the seven stars that Evelyn spoke of? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s Pentagram like the Witch of Balance.¡¯ Heavyweights such as Omangseong had separate designated garrisons. Estellum was a city where level 150 players were based, and at least in the knowledge Dio remembered, it was an area unrelated to Pentacle Castle. ¡®There is a high probability that he is a being who deceives everyone and lives in hiding like Ludens. In that case, the candidate¡­¡¯ * * * Dio left Evelyn and Sepia, who were snuggling in the blanket, and walked deep into the cave. Dio went deep into the cave and fumbled with the wall that seemed to have no way to go any further. When Dio discovered the hidden device, the blocking wall moved to reveal a space, and an item was seen lying there. ¡°good. good.¡± The reason Dio camped here, not far from Estellum, was simple. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Elixir of Agility] Grade: Rare Classification: Potion Effect: When taken, agility stat increases by 3. Elixirs of the same level only have a one-time effect. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The reason I went to the hideout of the bandits where Sepia was imprisoned was to find the elixir. The elixir at that time was a unique grade and raised the stats by about 5, but this one was one level lower than rare and only increased the stats by 3. However, even in order to recover the stats lost due to the oath of liberation, even one elixir could not be passed over. ¡®The elixirs I obtained from River North to get here are three¡­ are there four in total?¡¯ Dio picked up a bottle filled with yellow liquid, opened the cap hesitantly, and drank it down in one gulp. The values of the elixir he took on this journey were 6 strength stats, 3 intelligence, and 3 agility. I only walked around a little bit and gained over 10 stat points. ¡°This is the best for now.¡± After checking the stat window, Dio returned to where the group was, and Sepia, who had not yet fallen asleep, greeted him. ¡°Where have you been?¡± ¡°I checked inside for a moment.¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy to do that with my search magic.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Evelyn took out her wand and showed off her pride. ¡°Don¡¯t have too much faith in magic.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what people who don¡¯t know how to use magic always say. ¡°It¡¯s not for nothing that they say that if your brain is bad, your body will suffer.¡± Evelyn sneered at Dio¡¯s advice, and Sephia tried to dissuade her. ¡°Dio, you know how to use magic too.¡± ¡°really? You know how to use magic, but you can¡¯t teach sepia? ¡°You don¡¯t seem to understand any of my magic theory.¡± ¡°I believe in science.¡± It was absurd to say that he believed in science at the point where he entered the game, but Dio still responded with some faith. ¡°science? ¡°That thing that dwarves do?¡­Well, if it¡¯s something like that, I can at least imitate it.¡± Ignoring Evelyn¡¯s giggling words, Dio opened the inventory. Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ¨C The numerous items that Dio had brought with him to prepare for Estellum spilled onto the floor, and Evelyn¡¯s eyes widened at this sight. ¡°Can I use the subspace pouch? ¡°I don¡¯t think there are any separate artifacts?¡± ¡°This is magic made of 1 and 0.¡± Dio¡¯s sarcastic words continued towards Evelyn, who had no way of knowing the existence of the system. Dio left her confused and handed Sepia a pile of silver arrows from his inventory. ¡°This?¡± Sephia, who had received a lot of silver arrows, looked at Dio without understanding what was happening, and Dio asked her a question. ¡°We will arrive at Estellum tomorrow. ¡°So what do we need?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Sephia, who didn¡¯t know the answer, shook her head, and Dio smiled, holding up an arrow with a flashing silver arrowhead. ¡°What we need is silver. We also need silver of high purity.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 47 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 47Episode 47, Estellum, is a stage with the motif of Romania, the setting of the famous Dracula. Of course, the monsters around Estellum are basically vampires. This level of preparation is basic when dealing with vampires, who, like the undead, are weak against objects made of silver. ¡°But Ludens introduced himself as a vampire lord. Are vampires also believers in the sun?¡± Dio asked Evelyn, recalling the relationship between Ludens and the vampires living in Estellum. ¡°Well¡­different from witches, vampires have many different forces. Most of those not under Ludens¡¯ command are probably bad guys, right?¡± ¡°Witches aren¡¯t bad people?¡± Dio thought of witches who were clearly ¡®enemies¡¯ and ¡®monsters¡¯ to the player. ¡°We don¡¯t bother people! Well, even though we treated them a little roughly for the sake of research¡­¡± ¡°Are you just going to criticize me for attacking the farm because it was rough?¡± ¡°Well¡­don¡¯t I have to make a living too? Still, I don¡¯t run into people. ¡°Especially young children, they never touch it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m proud.¡± Evelyn huffed at her cursory reply, but Dio was armed so that he could use the tools he had taken out. ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t know the details, but¡­ isn¡¯t there a difference between the vampires that have existed since ancient times and the vampires that were born after the Holy Demon War? And from what I heard from Master, Ludens¡¯ blood relatives are further north than here.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°You mean you¡¯re not an ally?¡± Dio nodded at Evelyn¡¯s explanation. For Dio, who had planned to raise his level by hunting vampires, this was a fortunate thing. ¡°But why are all the weapons made of silver? ¡°How much is that all¡­¡± Evelyn asked, looking at the various weapons Dio had taken out. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that silver stakes are a vampire¡¯s weak point?¡± ¡°¡­Isn¡¯t that the same for witches?¡± Evelyn was completely frightened by the words of Dio, who was holding a pile of silver stakes that looked rather soft due to their high purity, and hid behind Sepia. ¡°Even if it¡¯s not a stake, you should take some with you.¡± ¡°huh!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t swipe.¡± ¡°Yes¡­!¡± If you think about the silver weapon that also worked on Ludens, just being armed with a simple silver weapon will be enough to prepare you for dealing with vampires. After completing all preparations, Dio and his companions immediately went to bed to prepare for tomorrow¡¯s journey. * * * The morning dawned brightly and the snow had stopped falling. It was a sunny morning. The snow that had been falling during the night stopped and Dio, who welcomed a sunny morning, began to go down the mountain with his companions. Eventually, they were able to discover the Estellum estate with a towering old castle in the distance. A gloomy atmosphere that can be felt even from afar. There was a cemetery at the entrance to the estate, and even though it was broad daylight, it didn¡¯t seem strange if a corpse popped out at any time. ¡®Are you okay?¡¯ It was a territory that gave off an overtly suspicious atmosphere, but I guess it was not for the people of Orderpan, which has a medieval background. Anyway, before entering Estellum, Dio took appropriate measures to hide Sepia¡¯s appearance. ¡°Can you hide Sepia¡¯s appearance?¡± S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°It¡¯s simple.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Evelyn waved her wand and soon the recognition-impairing magic was applied to Sephia. ¡°Others will see you both as having yellow hair and blue eyes. My impression also changed slightly. Make them look like brother and sister!¡± ¡°I¡¯m keeping the hood on.¡± ¡°all right.¡± Since there was a very high possibility that the Luna Church was after her, it was better to hide Sepia¡¯s appearance. It was obvious that if he hid it too closely, he would be more suspicious, so he ended up disguising himself as an ordinary traveler using only Evelyn¡¯s magic and a hood. Unless they are stronger than Evelyn, ordinary people will not recognize Sepia. ¡°Let¡¯s stay at the accommodation first and plan our itinerary.¡± ¡°yes.¡± ¡°What does northern food taste like?¡± After Sepia¡¯s answer and Evelyn¡¯s highly anticipated words, the group entered a nearby lodging, unpacked their luggage, and had a light meal. ¡°Wow¡­I¡¯ve never had a soup with so much meat in it!¡± For Evelyn, who only ate potatoes, any kind of meat would be delicious, but the sight of her happily eating it seemed to increase her appetite. ¡°What should we do next?¡± Sepia asked after finishing the meal, and Dio began to explain what he had planned. ¡°I need a new identity.¡± ¡°Ah¡­is it because of the church¡¯s tracking?¡± ¡°okay. I think the name needs to be changed too. Evelyn, you can¡¯t act like a witch, right?¡± Dio took out the D-class mercenary badge he had been issued in Rivernos and said. ¡°mercenary¡­! Looks like fun! But didn¡¯t you say you were looking for someone?¡± ¡°okay. But all we know is that it¡¯s somewhere here in Estellum. ¡°It¡¯s not efficient to search for it alone.¡± Estellum is not a very big city. Dio decided that if the person Ludens was talking about was somewhere in Estellum, he would naturally be able to meet him. In that case, it would have been a good idea to do everything that could be done in Estel Room before proceeding with the main quest in earnest. ¡®Hunting, quests, whatever.¡¯ * * * Estellum is not a safe area like River North, so it is an area that also has the attributes of a hunting ground, like villages where monster waves exist. Perhaps that¡¯s why this place was like an advance base for not only mercenaries but also adventurers looking for hunter artifacts that hunt vampires. Dio, who knew these characteristics, had already thought about what to do first. ¡°We act first as mercenaries.¡± ¡°You mean you¡¯re taking a request?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I naturally blend into Estellum.¡± Like most of the North, Estellum is a ¡®real¡¯ open world, so it¡¯s an area outside of the main story. The main story told here is not about the quest that occurred when Dio met Ludens. It refers to the overall temporal flow of the order board and the main story in which major events take place. ¡®So it¡¯s safe to say that Estellum is not actually a city, but a level 150 hunting ground.¡¯ Dio¡¯s first goal was to raise his level to 150. Most of the monsters that appear in Estellum are undead monsters. In particular, the graveyard hunt, which can be said to be a famous quest, is a simple task of dealing with ghouls and zombies. After thinking, Dio got up from his seat, and Sephia and Evelyn followed him. At that moment, a group of mercenaries entered the restaurant. ¡°Hey, did you hear the news?¡± At the deep voice, Dio¡¯s eyes naturally turned to the group of mercenaries, but the mercenaries sat down without paying any attention to their surroundings. ¡°What news?¡± ¡°I mean Rivernorth.¡± When the word Rivernos appeared in the mercenaries¡¯ story, Sephia flinched and stopped. Dio also sat down again and listened to what the mercenaries were saying because it could be important information. ¡°I heard the Inquisitor turned Rivernos upside down this time?¡± ¡°okay? But isn¡¯t there a very strong knight there?¡± ¡°Sigmund?¡± Dio, who was listening to the mercenaries¡¯ story, thought that Sigmund¡¯s reputation, which extended even to the far northern region, was great, but that was not important right now. ¡°okay. Anyway, I heard that knight Nari was taken away by the Heretic Inquisitor?¡± ¡°why?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know the details. I heard a rumor that he was involved with demons¡­¡± ¡°Oh, really¡­ that Sigmund?¡± ¡°Besides, they said they were looking for people involved in it. ¡°I think his name was Dio¡­Sepia.¡± ¡°How much will I get if I catch it?¡± The mercenaries started talking more and more, sharing information, and Dio slowly got up from his seat because there was no more information to be gained. ¡°let¡¯s go.¡± Dio took Sephia, who was frozen, and went out of the building. ¡®In the end, not even Sigmund could stop the Luna Church.¡¯ Dio had a glimmer of hope that he could somehow persuade Sigmund to stop the Luna Church¡¯s pursuit. However, as the status of wanted status became clear through the stories of the mercenaries, there was a need to move even more cautiously. ¡°But why did Master Ludens expose you to danger?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not me. ¡°That damn old man.¡± Dio responded harshly to Evelyn¡¯s question that he couldn¡¯t understand. ¡°But there must be a reason for everything the seven stars do.¡± ¡°I can understand if you adjust the difficulty level. ¡°Of course, if it¡¯s a game and not reality.¡± ¡°You sometimes say strange things.¡± Dio left behind the grumbling Evelyn and found the mercenary office with his companions. Jingling- ¡°Hello. ¡°This is the Estellum mercenary office.¡± A man who looked very tired, perhaps due to the large number of mercenaries coming to Estellum, welcomed Dio. ¡®The office is small compared to its size.¡¯ Dio went inside, following the guide who looked exhausted and pale. After receiving appropriate guidance, Dio began work as planned, prioritizing obtaining a mercenary badge. Through the crystal ball that determines the level, Sepia was able to obtain a D grade, Evelyn was able to obtain a C grade mercenary card, and Dio paid a reasonable amount of silver. Of course, not Dio¡¯s name, but another pseudonym called ¡®Leo¡¯. ¡°If you bring the appropriate request through the poster at the end, we will process it quickly.¡± At the guide¡¯s words, Dio walked towards the place where mercenaries and hunters were gathered. ¡°Wow, that¡¯s a lot.¡± Evelyn became interested as she looked at the numerous request forms posted on the fairly large poster and looked them over. Since Estel Room is a place far away from the main quest, there were a variety of side quests, or pastimes, and there were many of them. ¡°How about hunting the vampires that haunt the Northern Cemetery? Otherwise, clearing out zombies or ghouls is fine. ¡°I need their fingernails and blood for my research.¡± Evelyn shouted excitedly while holding a bunch of requests, but Dio ignored her suggestions. From the beginning, Dio had no intention of doing a quest that involved moving his body. ¡°Our request is not hunting.¡± Dio tore a wanted letter from the poster and showed it to Sepia and Evelyn. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Estellum Request] [Bring 2 vampire fangs to the union leader.] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª What Dio showed me The request form only contained a request for an item without any specific details. ¡°Don¡¯t we have to hunt to save the canines?¡± ¡°What if there¡¯s no need for that?¡± ¡°yes?¡± After answering Sepia¡¯s question, Dio looked through the poster step by step. ¡°From now on, bring all collection requests.¡± ¡°entire? ¡°I think there are more than ten requests just like this one.¡± Evelyn said, pointing to a piece of paper with the same content written on it as the request form Dio chose. ¡°okay. All the overlapping stuff. ¡°I¡¯m going somewhere for a while, so gather everything in the meantime.¡± Dio left the building without knowing why, leaving Sepia and Evelyn behind at the mercenary office. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s like that again.¡± Sephia, who was watching his back, sighed. However, as if he was now used to Dio¡¯s always unruly behavior, he immediately began to carry out the tasks he instructed. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 48 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 48Episode 48 The place Dio hurried to after leaving the mercenary office was none other than Estellum¡¯s warehouse. Dio paid the storage fee to the warehouse manager and immediately opened his own warehouse. [ Vampire Fangs _ _ _ _ . ¡®One bundle of 100 each. ¡®I put in at least two sets.¡¯ If these items were truly useless, Dio would not have put them in the warehouse, but these items were not worthless items. As Evelyn said, it can be used as a material for other items or research, but it has a more important use. ¡®You can see it as a quest item.¡¯ This was precisely why Dio told Sepia and Evelyn to select only the collection requests. Even if you¡¯re a max level character, you¡¯ll have to visit Estel Room at least once. Then, all the numerous items obtained each time were piled up in the warehouse. Perhaps Dio¡¯s warehouse contains far more items than are needed for Estellum¡¯s collection request. There were so many that they couldn¡¯t all fit into the limited inventory, but it didn¡¯t matter. If there is a shortage, it is a problem that can be easily solved by stopping by the warehouse again. ¡®I guess I¡¯ll just have to pack the quest items for now. I guess I¡¯ll have to come by sometime later.¡¯ Dio recalled the requests he had seen at the mercenary office and began to select only the necessary items. * * * ¡°¡­I did collect it like he said.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Sephia and Evelyn had taken all the collection requests as Dio said. However, it was inevitable that he would be looked at by other mercenaries or hunters in the process. ¡°Hey are you going to finish them all today?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be greedy.¡± As the grim-looking mercenaries flocked to Sephia and Evelyn and each began to shout, the atmosphere immediately became dangerous. ¡°Do these lowly bastards know who this person is and threaten them?¡± ¡°what? ¡°The one who fell short?¡± Sephia and Evelyn¡¯s monopoly on collecting requests was not an especially against-the-line behavior in mercenary society. However, it is true that it is not moral to take on a number of requests that cannot be resolved in a short period of time. However, the mercenaries¡¯ expressions became even more crumpled when they heard Evelyn¡¯s words, as they were not used to talking to people. ¡°Say it again! ¡°You sullen looking bitch!¡± ¡°Gloom? How dare you say something like that to me? ¡°I am the Shadow Demon!¡± Seeing Evelyn getting even more excited by the mercenaries¡¯ abusive language and trying to go wild, Sepia quickly covered her mouth. This was a passage that clearly explains why witches are burned at the stake if they go alone. ¡°Everyone be quiet! Fighting is prohibited in the office.¡± The situation did not get any worse due to Sepia¡¯s restraint, but the conflict was still there, so a mercenary manager appeared to mediate the situation. ¡°No matter how good the mercenaries are, it is impossible to solve so many requests at once.¡± The manager walked up to Sepia, who was covering Evelyn¡¯s mouth, and spoke politely. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be right to take it and leave the rest? ¡°For everyone.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Evelyn looked confused at the manager¡¯s words. Even for Evelyn, who was less socialized, the manager¡¯s words were persuasive. How frustrating would it be if someone completely unaware of your work snatched it up? ¡°After hearing it, it seems like it¡¯s true, right? ¡°I¡¯m not a greedy witch¡­ and I¡¯m not a wizard.¡± When Evelyn fell for the manager¡¯s deceptive trick and tried to hand over the requests she had collected to him, Sepia hurriedly stopped her. ¡°Master! No!¡± ¡°Huh? no?¡± Evelyn, who had a dumb expression on her face, soon came to her senses when Sepia whispered. -There is no problem with us taking the lead. If Dio comes back, I¡¯m sure he will solve it. -Is that so? So should I just hand this over? -No. The manager frowned at the sight of Sephia and Evelyn whispering in front of him, and thought. It is wrong to scold the novice(?) mercenaries in front of you through conversation. The moment the manager was about to call the security guard working at the office, as this was not the first time he had to deal with such situations. ¡°for a moment!¡± thud! What was thrown in front of the manager who was trying to call security were heavy sacks. ¡°What is this?¡± The manager took his eyes off the pile of sacks on the floor and looked around for the person who had thrown them away. ¡°That request.¡± The person who appeared, pushing away the mercenaries who had gathered in the commotion, was none other than Dio, and he opened his mouth, pointing to the bundle of requests the manager was holding. ¡°I¡¯ll finish everything today.¡± ¡°yes?¡± The manager, who had a bewildered expression on his face at Dio¡¯s words, moved his gaze to the sack next to him and checked the contents inside, wondering if it was possible. ¡°What is all this?¡± Numerous quest items contained in the sack. The manager, who had never seen so many requests before, looked at Jaru and Dio in turn, as if he couldn¡¯t believe it even after seeing it with his own eyes. ¡°How long will it take to process? ¡°Would one day be enough?¡± On the contrary, when D.O. asked if the process would be completed in one day, the manager immediately came to his senses and hurriedly called other employees. ¡°Oh my, I didn¡¯t know. Because there are so many, it will take some time to check them all. hey! ¡°What are you doing?¡± The employees who responded to the manager¡¯s call hurriedly moved the items brought by Dio to the storage warehouse. ¡°Please wait in the lounge over there. ¡°Due to the large number of requests, there will be additional procedures to process, do you mind?¡± The bewildered expressions on the faces of the mercenaries who were watching the guidance of the manager who had suddenly become kinder were truly a sight to behold. ¡°What are you doing? let¡¯s go.¡± * * * [Complete collection of vampire fangs.] [Complete collection of jade beads imbued with a dead body.] [Complete collection of vampire blood packs.] . . . [Experience points increased by 201654 as a quest reward.] A system message appeared every time the process of checking whether the brought items were real or fake was completed and the quest was stamped as completed. ¡®That¡¯s really cool.¡¯ Unlike Dio, who was not interested in the compensation the manager put on the table, Evelyn muttered as she watched the compensation accumulating one by one. ¡°A sack or two of potatoes¡­.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio doesn¡¯t need money. Just like when he cleaned the River North underground waterway, all he needs is experience. ¡®Even if it becomes reality, you still count this as an experience. It looks like the player¡¯s privileges are still maintained.¡¯ Dio happily looked at the experience window rising steadily. Dio was not the only one whose experience level increased. Perhaps thanks to the oath of liberation, Sepia, who was indirectly influenced by the ¡®player¡¯, also shared the experience gained by Dio. ¡°I feel strange¡­I feel like my fatigue is gone¡­¡± ¡°Is that right? ¡°This is my first time feeling like this.¡± Evelyn agreed with Sephia¡¯s words. However, only Dio knew that the feelings they were talking about were different. ¡®This will be my first time experiencing the feeling of growth just by sitting still.¡¯ Sephia, whose level was rising through enormous experience points, instinctively felt that she was becoming stronger. Dio smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his status window, which stopped at level 110. The distribution of contractors was a bit lower than that of the players, and Sepia¡¯s level stopped at 60, but Dio was satisfied with this alone. -Those guys, right? They swept up all the requests¡­ ¨C Oh, I heard that they are knights? -No, it was the kids from the Magic Tower! -okay? I thought they were mercenaries, but they are great guys anyway. A story of mercenaries wandering far away is heard. ¡®It got quite a bit of attention. Still, it doesn¡¯t matter since we¡¯ve already taken measures to this level.¡¯ Dio knows in detail the level of mercenaries living in Estellum. It would be difficult for a mercenary, even a B-class, to see through Evelyn¡¯s perception-impairing magic. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, Estellum was like a northern advance base beyond the influence of the Luna Church, so there was no temple or anything like that. ¡®If Luna¡¯s temple had existed in the first place, Estellum would have disappeared without a trace.¡¯ Since it is not an area where Luna¡¯s priests operate, there is only one thing Dio has to be careful about. ¡®I may need to change my fighting style from now on.¡¯ According to the information provided by Sigmund, the Luna Church was tracking ¡®Monte¡¯ in Evra Village. I don¡¯t know why the Luna Church was interested in Monte, but given the current situation, it is clear that it is related to the forgotten temple. Although no one saw Monte¡¯s face under the mask, everyone in Evra Village witnessed Monte¡¯s fighting methods. Its characteristic is that it uses a magical ¡®width¡¯ along with a huge great sword to engage in battle. ¡®The priest Crupis I met in the underground waterway. If he had received information about Monte, he would have definitely noticed.¡¯ At that time, I didn¡¯t know that Luna was chasing me, so I couldn¡¯t prepare for anything. However, we can now learn that the church that was contacted has sent a heresy inquisitor to find a person named ¡®Dio¡¯ who shows the same fighting style as Monte. ¡®The sword and width are definitely noticeable. It would be a good idea to change weapons and reduce exposure.¡¯ In the first place, the Great Sword of Crushing was a level 60 item. Now it was time to let him go, so Dio was armed with the Silver Arming Sword he had prepared in advance instead of the Great Sword of Crushing. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As its name suggests, the level 100 weapon brought from Rivernos was an undead-only weapon made by mixing steel and silver. It feels a bit lacking to be used as a main weapon. After all, the Silver Arming Sword is a rare grade weapon. However, if you raise your level a little more, you will be able to use the level 130 unique equipment in Estel Room. ¡®It¡¯ll be okay if I stick with this until then.¡¯ Dio looked at the blade of the Arming Sword, which deals additional damage to undead monsters, and organized the rewards for the quest he had just finished. ¡°Can you give me just a little bit?¡± ¡°Take as much as you want.¡± ¡°Really?¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Evelyn began to pack the money bags one by one. The more money, the better, but the amount obtained as a reward for this quest was not enough to impress Dio much. ¡°You too, take as much as you need.¡± ¡°I¡¯m OK.¡± Sephia shook her head in refusal at Dio¡¯s words, but Evelyn, who was next to her, actually made a fuss. ¡°sepia! Grab it while you can! Should we go to the market?¡± ¡°Is the sun setting now?¡± ¡°All people are lazy! ¡°There will still be something to see.¡± Estellum is not a tourist attraction or a developed market, but for Evelyn, who devoted her entire life to research, it was no different from an amusement park. Evelyn, who was very excited about this, tried to lead Sephia¡¯s hand and go outside, but Dio stopped her. ¡°Not now.¡± ¡°why?¡± ¡°Because it¡¯s almost night.¡± ¡°I know that. ¡°We are not children.¡± Evelyn grumbled, but Dio shook his head firmly. It wouldn¡¯t matter if this was a village other than Estellum, but this is an undead city. At night, even inside the city, danger lurked at any time, so Dio opened his palm to Evelyn, who did not listen. ¡°If you won¡¯t listen to me, spit out the money again.¡± ¡°¡­What room are we in? sepia. ¡°Today¡¯s class is about the wind attribute.¡± Evelyn pretended not to hear what Dio said and hid the bag of money behind her. Seeing Evelyn like that, even Sephia, who had been distraught by the news about Sigmund, smiled slightly. After finishing all his errands at the mercenary office, Dio and his companions headed straight to the lodging they had initially reserved. ¡°I¡¯m getting tired.¡± When Dio arrived at his room, he sat down on the bed and laid down on his back. -I saw it earlier and they were selling frog skewers. Do you want to go eat together tomorrow? Evelyn¡¯s voice came from the room next door. The excited voice, like a high school girl on a field trip, made D.O even more tired. The physical stats have increased, but the mental ones seem to be separate. ¡®But I leveled up comfortably today¡­ Shall I warm up tomorrow? I won¡¯t be able to do collection quests for a while.¡¯ Since I completed all of the collection quests in one day, it was natural that I would not be able to complete the collection quests until the same quest was renewed. ¡®As I disposed of the collectibles, there was empty space in my inventory, so I have to take care of the level 130-limited equipment I had been planning to get¡­¡¯ Dio closed his eyes, but could not fall asleep easily. As time passed, Evelyn¡¯s loud voice gradually quieted down. They probably fell asleep quickly after the arduous journey. ¡­It¡¯s a quiet night. I hope nothing happens in Estel Room like this¡­ * * * -Hey Joseph, there¡¯s a big case. -What kind of bullshit are you talking about again, Gordon? A quiet night street in Estellum. Two men who looked grumpy at first glance were talking in front of an accommodation facility for travelers. -Didn¡¯t you hear the story? ¨C So what are you talking about? The man named Gordon looked at his irritated colleague and opened his mouth with a grin. ¡°The mercenaries who received a huge number of commission rewards today.¡± ¡°I thought I heard it at first glance¡­why?¡± ¡°Let us rob it.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 49 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 49Episode 49 Although Estellum has the nickname of the undead city, it is ultimately a place where people live. As the largest city in the western part of the continent, even Rivernos, which prides itself on its security, has an underworld presence, and gangsters are bound to exist here as well. Gordon explained to his partner Joseph what had happened at the mercenary office. ¡°You mean you¡¯ll make a lot of money by doing all the collection requests? ¡°Where are these guys hanging out?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Anyway, I got all the manager stamps and received a lot of compensation.¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be great if we were to take their money?¡± ¡°After all, you are my eternal partner.¡± Gordon laughed heartily at Joseph, who pretended to understand. ¡°Hmm, isn¡¯t it dangerous to mess with those guys? They may have come out to carry out a knight, or they may have come out of the Magic Tower to dispose of materials¡­¡± Gordon pondered over his suggestion and carefully guessed their identities. However, Gordon had already thought about these concerns, so he took out the mace he had prepared in advance as if to tell him not to worry. ¡°That¡¯s why I brought this specially made mace.¡± ¡°what? ¡°That thing you said last time?¡± The mace that Gordon took out was different from an ordinary mace. A sharp thorn attached to the iron core of a mace. The thorns were not evenly sprouted, but were curved like the claws of a bird of prey. ¡°Just like this! ¡°If we kill them and make it look like a werewolf attacked them, they won¡¯t even think it was us.¡± ¡°Wow, fuck. I remodeled it like this. ¡°The blacksmith will cry.¡± Joseph, who took the mace from Gordon, let out an exclamation. ¡°how is it? Are you going to do it?¡± ¡°of course. ¡°How many people do you need to do the work?¡± Joseph started laughing, as did Gordon, and they began making plans in earnest. ¡°About four loud-mouthed guys?¡± ¡°So there are a total of six including us?¡± ¡°okay. Since there are three kites to work on¡­ that should be enough to work leisurely.¡± Joseph nodded at Gordon¡¯s words. ¡°Then what about the compensation?¡± ¡°We are half. Please share the rest yourself. ¡°Because we planned the strategy.¡± ¡°good. I take responsibility for bringing in useful people. time is?¡± ¡°Is there a need to postpone? ¡°Let¡¯s start right after midnight today.¡± ¡°Great.¡± * * * Josen and Gordon looked around at the back of the ¡®White Deer Inn¡¯ where the target was staying. ¡°What floor did you say it was?¡± ¡°There are girls in the second room on the fourth floor, and there are guys in the third room.¡± Joseph once again explained the strategy to the Estellum gangsters he had called. ¡°We will divide the number of people and enter through the front door and window at the same time. ¡°Deal with it as quickly as possible.¡± ¡°okay. But aren¡¯t women worth killing?¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t see one girl because she was wearing a hood, but the other one was gloomy but acceptable. ¡°That unhidden three-dimensional effect is just wow.¡± The gangsters were whispering and giggling to each other, and Gordon spoke to them in a low voice. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. When bitches shout, it becomes a pain in the ass. Make sure to do it as originally planned.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really kidding.¡± The gangster immediately gave up on Gordon¡¯s threats. Their ultimate goal is to make it look like their targets have been attacked by werewolves. If you leave the women alive and get caught by other mercenaries or hunters, your life is no different from death. ¡°If they all come through the front door at once, they might notice, so let the two sharp guys clean up the women¡¯s room. ¡°Gordon and I will take care of the male.¡± ¡°Then what do we do?¡± Two hoodlums who had not been assigned a task asked Gordon. ¡°You are reserve forces. You have to prepare for variables. If we can¡¯t handle it all at once and things get messy, you guys come and help us. Or, leave a reasonable gap and enter on your own.¡± ¡°As expected, it¡¯s Joseph.¡± The gang members who made the plan covered their faces by wearing masks they had prepared in advance. Whirl-clack- clack- a hook rope was thrown onto the roof of the inn and the two thugs, accustomed to this type of work, began climbing the wall. Matching their speed, Joseph and Gordon held their breath and gently opened the inn¡¯s door and successfully broke in. Joseph and Gordon notice that sometimes guests who toss and turn in their sleep spend time on the first floor of the inn, but now it is empty. They looked at each other, nodded, and slowly began to climb the stairs. -It¡¯s here. -Shh. Joseph and Gordon held their breath even more as they stood in front of the target¡¯s room and took out their pocket watches from their pockets to check the time. -30 seconds before operation time. -okay. After confirming that they had arrived on time, they waited for the time agreed upon with the gangsters outside. Now, after 30 or 20 seconds, attack both rooms at the same time with the gangsters who will be outside the window, and it will be over. Joseph, who placed his hand on the doorknob, continued with the few remaining numbers. 6 5 4¡­. Kwasik! Before the appointed time arrived, a dagger came flying through the door from inside. Sigh! ¡°Joseph!!¡± The dagger pierced Joseph¡¯s head at once, and Gordon panicked, calling out for his colleague who died instantly. Suddenly- ¡°What is it? omg!¡± For a brief moment before Gordon had any idea how to react, the door opened and someone pulled him out. Squeak ¨C The door that had been opened began to shake slightly on its own, and Gordon¡¯s pretense of popularity disappeared completely. * * * ¡°It¡¯s obvious. ¡°It¡¯s obvious.¡± In a dark room without a single candle, Dio placed the two corpses he had instantly subdued in a corner and shook out his palms. Dio had long known about the existence of a gangster who was stealing the mercenaries¡¯ property. It wasn¡¯t just Dio. From the moment she heard suspicious signs of people near the inn where she was staying, Evelyn noticed it and prepared for an attack. ¡®He seemed careless, but he¡¯s still quite careful.¡¯ I was a little worried about Evelyn¡¯s foolish behavior, but the way she was always on guard through magic was quite trustworthy. ¡®Because it¡¯s level 150 and there will be a familiar. ¡®It¡¯s strange to be attacked by someone like this.¡¯ Dio turned his attention to the next room, where he would have dealt with the attacking thugs just like him, and looked toward the window. ¡®There¡¯s still some left.¡¯ Dio slowly got up from his seat and approached the window. As expected , the window opened from the outside and a masked man entered the room. ¡°¡­what? ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anyone here?¡± ¡°Is the work finished already? ¡°I came here just in case¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s dark so I can¡¯t see well. ¡°Let¡¯s turn on the light¡­¡± One of the strangers, who was looking for a candle, trailed off, and the other person, who thought this was strange, tapped him. ¡°Hey, are you trying to turn on the light? ¡°What are you doing¡­¡± They were used to the darkness and only then did they see it. These are corpses stuffed in the corner of a room with their necks twisted grotesquely. ¡°Mr¡­.¡± Pow! The sword pierced the neck of the assailant who was about to scream in surprise. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It sparkled even more under the silvery black moonlight. Sigh! Dio opened his mouth to the other monster who was staring blankly at the red blood spraying everywhere. ¡°Come on.¡± Suddenly- * * * ¡°Dio! are you okay?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°How about yours?¡± After confirming that there were no more attackers, Dio entered the next room and Sephia greeted him. ¡°What are these guys? ¡°I slept well tonight.¡± Evelyn grunted and pointed at the two monsters who had fainted after being bound by her magic. ¡°They are murderers, robbers, trash, etc.¡± Unlike himself, Dio approached the gunmen who were still alive and cut off their heads without any thought. ¡°¡­Are you merciless?¡± ¡°It has to be handled properly to be safe.¡± Even the witch Evelyn stuck out her tongue at Dio¡¯s cold-hearted appearance, and Sepia turned her head as she was not yet used to murder. ¡®If you aim for a vital spot, one shot¡­ not bad.¡¯ Dio brushed off the blood on his Silver Arming Sword and replayed the battle just before. Even though they look like gangsters, they are gangsters whose level is easily over 140. Nevertheless, the fact that he was able to easily subdue it meant that Dio had become that much stronger. ¡®Even if something like this happens in the future, I won¡¯t have to use width.¡¯ In fact, the forgotten swordsmanship ¡®slash¡¯ skill became an extremely effective skill as Dio grew. In just this battle, didn¡¯t you kill gangsters of a similar level to yourself with a single blow using a ¡®cut¡¯? ¡°Hey, I slept all night.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t relax yet.¡± Hearing Evelyn¡¯s whining words, Dio still did not put away his weapon and looked at the window where the assailants had invaded. ¡°Is there still more?¡± ¡°No way? ¡°There¡¯s nothing special about my search magic¡­¡± Sepia asked nervously at Dio¡¯s words, and Evelyn shook her head before stopping as if there was no way her words were correct. ¡°¡­something is coming.¡± Dio nodded at Evelyn¡¯s words, which, like Sepia, seemed very nervous, as if he had expected that to happen. The most dangerous thing in Estel Room is not the monster. The reason you have to be careful about murder even in this place full of criminals is because of the presence of two monsters. Vampires and werewolves. They are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and always crave human blood. Since six corpses were gathered together and bleeding, there was a high possibility that they would come from far away. ¡®Which one? It would be nice if it was a vampire¡­¡¯ There was one reason why he attracted the attention of others from the mercenary office and killed the gangsters without hesitation. This is because they may be able to dig up information related to Ludens. Evelyn said that the vampires of Estellum are not Ludens¡¯ blood relatives, but they are still the same species, so they may know something. ¡®If there¡¯s nothing in particular, just raise experience points.¡¯ Even though it was time for everyone to go to sleep, I could clearly hear the sound of people walking down the hallway . Unlike the gunmen who secretly attacked, the guest this time did not make any attempt to hide his presence. ¡®You seem pretty confident. They are different from werewolves who act roughly. ¡®It¡¯s a vampire.¡¯ When the half- open door opened wide, Sephia and Evelyn each raised their bows and staffs, and Dio lowered his weapons to start a conversation. ¡°uh?¡± ¡°what?¡± When the door opened, the person who appeared was surprised to see Dio, and Dio also looked surprised at the somewhat familiar face. ¡°you are¡­?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t they the mercenaries who came to visit us during the day today?¡± Surprisingly, the man who appeared was the pale receptionist I had seen at the mercenary office. ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s¡­¡± Perhaps because they knew each other, Dio was unable to treat the other person harshly even though he was certain that he was a vampire seeking blood. ¡°Well¡­ I¡¯m working as a cleaner on the side¡­ I guess the neighborhood is like that, isn¡¯t it?¡± Dio thought he was struggling as the other person spoke gibberish. ¡°The cleaning you¡¯re talking about involves corpses, right?¡± ¡°Ah yes. This happens often. ¡°This neighborhood.¡± As the conversation continued awkwardly, Dio felt puzzled because he did not feel any hostility towards the other person. ¡®That¡¯s strange? It¡¯s different from the Estemlum vampires I remember. Is she really a cleaner? No, this guy was something I didn¡¯t remember.¡¯ There are vampires living in hiding in human society. However, although Dio has hunted countless vampires in Estellum on the Order Board, he has never encountered a vampire like this. ¡®Should I ask if he¡¯s a vampire?¡¯ Although there are many circumstances, D.O. is sensitive to the unexpected attitude of the other person. But Dio wasn¡¯t the only one acting awkwardly. Hmm ¨C the person presumed to be a vampire suddenly took a deep breath and his pale complexion instantly returned to a bright expression. Should I smell blood again? Dio frowned at his opponent¡¯s strange behavior, but once again, something happened that went against his expectations. ¡°¡­I have a favor to ask you, mercenary.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 50 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 50Episode 50: Roberto was a vampire who worked at a mercenary office in Estellum while hiding his identity. The question of why he interacted with humans and received blood was because of the master he served. -The full moon is getting closer. Blood, get blood. -Let¡¯s learn more about undertakers. -You must not cause harm just because you are in a hurry. In the end, we need them to be safe. -All right. Roberto recalled his conversation with his bloodthirsty master. Unlike the mobs without genealogy who attacked humans, the master chose to coexist with humans. The master¡¯s philosophy was not to harm others. Roberto, who used to suck the blood of humans, was enlightened after meeting such a master and settled into the human world. Of course, the reason for settling in Estel Room was also to ensure a smooth blood supply. Since it is a neighborhood with many accidents, it is easy to obtain blood through body cleaners or undertakers. -Sniff. Today again, as usual, there was a strong smell of blood in the Estel Room. Roberto, who noticed this, arrived at the scene disguised as a cleaner, but¡­ a vampire¡¯s sense of fresh blood caught an unexpected person. ¡®Who is that man? The mercenary you saw during the day?¡¯ The mercenary who easily defeated the thugs of Estellum did not suffer the slightest injury, as if he had proven himself to be a man of considerable skill. But Robert wasn¡¯t surprised by that. ¡®I can feel it¡­ the blood that man has¡­ it¡¯s definitely not normal!¡¯ Unlike werewolves, vampires do not detect the smell of blood solely through their sense of smell. In particular, Roberto had a much better sense of smell than other vampires. At the mercenary office, he didn¡¯t notice because he was mixed in with the crowd of people, but he realized that the blood that was now focused on Roberto¡¯s senses was quite precious. ¡®The ladies also have precious blood. But what you need is not virgin blood. If it¡¯s that man¡¯s blood that¡¯s a little more special¡­.¡¯ Fresh blood that is clearly different from the blood obtained from a corpse. I assured them that if I ask them, they will be of help to the master who is always having a hard time with ¡®Manwol¡¯. ¡®okay! I¡¯m explaining the situation and asking for a favor! If you treat the master sincerely as he says¡­!¡¯ He stepped forward to ask for an appropriate blood draw without causing harm. But¡­. * * * ¡°You bat-like bastard! ¡°You¡¯re finally showing your true colors!¡± ¡°Oops!¡± thud! Roberto, helplessly bound by Eveline¡¯s magic, knelt on the floor. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of a vampire living in harmony with humans!¡± Evelyn knows Ludens and must have been misunderstood by humans as a wicked witch. Dio was dumbfounded to see her making such prejudiced remarks. Still, Evelyn¡¯s response was not wrong, so Dio looked at Roberto, who was easily subdued. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry! ¡°What will my master do if I go like this?¡± Dio didn¡¯t say anything, but the vampire uttered a line that seemed to have sensed his end due to Evelyn¡¯s hostile behavior. ¡°It¡¯s no use begging for my life. ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared a stake for you¡­¡± ¡°Tsk¡­ kill me!¡± ¡°Please come out.¡± Dio, who pushed away Evelyn, who was spouting villain-like lines, pondered what Roberto said and asked a question. ¡°Who are you? ¡°Where do you belong?¡± ¡°¡­My name is Roberto. ¡°I am a vampire working under a master who is nobler than anyone else.¡± ¡°Master?¡± Dio frowned at the word ¡®master¡¯ mentioned by Roberto. The only beings that self-respecting vampires can call ¡®master¡¯ are Lord-level vampires like Ludens. ¡®Among the Vampire Lords I know, there is no one named Smith. Then perhaps?¡¯ Dio remembered Ludens, who hid his identity and served as the head of the back alley. Didn¡¯t you know that Ludens is a vampire lord who has lived for over a thousand years? In that case, there was a good chance that the master that Roberto mentioned was also a vampire lord that he did not know about. ¡®If he is Estellum¡¯s close friend that Ludens was talking about, then I understand. ¡®If they are of the same rod level, they can be called close friends.¡¯ Dio spoke to Evelyn, thinking that she might be the person he was looking for. ¡°Free me.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t use stakes?¡± ¡°Why are you so obsessed with that damn stake?¡± At Dio¡¯s shout, Evelyn grunted and released Roberto from his restraints. ¡°Tell me more about your master.¡± After hearing Dio¡¯s words, Roberto realized that the opponent was a mercenary who was not obsessed with hunting vampires, and he cautiously opened his mouth. ¡°I cannot dare to speak about you master. However, if you are willing to provide some blood, I will let you meet the master.¡± ¡°Is this guy still out of his mind? ¡°Are you telling us to go to the lair of a guy who seeks human blood?¡± Sephia, who was next to Evelyn, stopped Evelyn, who went wild again at Roberto¡¯s words. ¡°Listen to the story.¡± ¡°Do you believe him? ¡°You¡¯re a vampire!¡± S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡®For being a losing witch.¡¯ Dio thought to himself when he saw Evelyn¡¯s appearance not being funny, and Roberto was also astonished by her cries, so he let out an angry expression. ¡°If our master had had his way, all the humans in Estellum would have turned into corpses! But the master just doesn¡¯t do that because he respects life!¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Dio was lost in thought as Roberto appealed to his sincerity. If he is not deceiving, he must be a truly unique vampire lord. There was a very high probability that the new character that Dio had not experienced was a close friend of Ludens. It may not be a bad choice to go there as if donating blood. ¡®If respecting life is a lie, then there would be no reason for Roberto to disguise himself as a janitor.¡¯ After carefully considering Roberto¡¯s suggestion, Dio opened his mouth again. ¡°Where is your master? ¡°Is it outside the city?¡± ¡°¡­that.¡± Roberto hesitated at Dio¡¯s question. It seemed like he was reluctant to reveal information about his owner to the other person. ¡°If it¡¯s a dangerous place, there¡¯s no reason for us to go there.¡± Dio, who needed to know the information about the place to visit just in case, spoke firmly. ¡°¡­This is the central camp of Kalech Forest. ¡°I can¡¯t guarantee that the path is safe, but I will definitely guide you.¡± Kalech Forest located north of Estellum. It was clear that the maze-like Kalech Forest was an extremely dangerous place as monsters frequently appeared. But¡­ ¡°Okay. ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± When Dio nodded as if it was okay, Roberto looked surprised. ¡°Is that true? Then I will right now¡­¡± ¡°No, not right away. ¡°I¡¯ll contact you separately when I¡¯m ready.¡± ¡°Oh, I understand.¡± Roberto, confused by the unexpected consent, nodded. ¡°And take care of some of these on the way.¡± Dio pointed to the pile of corpses, and before he could finish speaking, Robert took out a huge sack to put the corpses in. As if this had happened more than once, Roberto skillfully threw the corpse wrapped in swaddling clothes out the window and bowed to Dio. ¡°I¡¯ll just go now.¡± Even if Evelyn was easily suppressed, a vampire is still a vampire. Basically, a race with superior physical specifications than humans. Dio looked behind Roberto, who was lightly lifting six corpses and heading somewhere, and turned his head to Sephia and Evelyn. ¡°Okay, our destination has been decided. ¡°Everyone, get ready by tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s okay if I follow that person?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. Do you know where Kalech Forest is?¡± The companions continued to express their doubts about the conversation they had just had, which ended more smoothly than expected. ¡°Kalech Forest is an area where vampires and werewolves often appear.¡± ¡°We¡¯re going to such a dangerous place?¡± Sepia made an incomprehensible expression, recalling Dio¡¯s words that there was no reason to go to a dangerous place. ¡°The place Robert mentioned is an implicitly peaceful place. You may think it is in the middle of the battlefield, but the monsters in Kalech Forest also need a place to avoid friction with each other.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really strange.¡± Sephia responded to Dio¡¯s explanation as if she was curious. ¡°Well, normally vampires and werewolves don¡¯t get along well. ¡°If there was no safe zone, we would have been destroyed long ago.¡± Unlike Sepia, Evelyn added additional explanation as if she understood. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s a place that veteran mercenaries don¡¯t often go to because they don¡¯t know when the tension between vampires and werewolves will explode. ¡°There are only herbalists who collect rare herbs.¡± ¡°all right. But why did you postpone it instead of going right away? ¡°I feel like tonight has already passed.¡± As Sephia said, Dio smiled brightly as he checked outside where the sun was rising. ¡°I can¡¯t go looking like this when I¡¯m going to visit the Vampire Lord.¡± * * * ¡°Wow, can I really have this?¡± In front of Estel Room¡¯s warehouse. Evelyn couldn¡¯t hide her liking as she examined the navy blue robe set Dio handed her. ¡°okay. Because it¡¯s much better than the mat you¡¯re wearing. ¡°It will be much better, both in terms of ability and appearance.¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to throw away mud!¡± Ignoring Evelyn, who was fuming, Dio looked at the warehouse list once again. There was no equipment suitable for Sepia¡¯s level. The ¡®Mystic¡¯s Robe¡¯ given to Evelyn was also in the Estellum warehouse because it had an overwhelming magic resistance option among the level 150 unique equipment. ¡°Sepia is¡­ um. ¡°You don¡¯t have the right equipment.¡± ¡°I¡¯m OK.¡± ¡°Instead, I will give you something other than equipment.¡± Dio handed a pendant decorated with sapphire to Sepia, who said it was okay. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Void Amulet] Grade: Unique Category: Necklace Level limit: 50 Special effect: Nullifies one life-threatening fatal attack. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°This¡­?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like a talisman. ¡°You don¡¯t have to wear it around your neck, so just keep it with you.¡± ¡°Wow, it¡¯s pretty.¡± Evelyn, who was distracted by the brilliant light emitted by the sapphire, let out an exclamation without realizing it. ¡°You gave me a robe. ¡°Don¡¯t be greedy.¡± ¡°I never asked for it either!¡± Sephia laughed softly at the sight of Evelyn jumping up and down, as if her conscience pricked her at Dio¡¯s shouting. ¡°thank you.¡± ¡®Thank you. I have something better than that.¡¯ All Dio does is pack his equipment and give the rest to his companions. In any case, unless it is equipment you will use, reinforcing the power of your party members is also helpful for survival. ¡®It would be a good idea to prepare level 130 equipment in advance.¡¯ Dio spoke to his companions as he took all the equipment he would wear in the future and items that could be used right now and put them in his inventory. ¡°Call Roberto. ¡°I¡¯m leaving right away.¡± * * * Dio and the group approached Roberto, who was waiting in front of the abandoned castle. ¡°Are you here? Mr. Weed.¡± Roberto greeted Dio, calling him a pseudonym he had made up to work in Estellum. ¡°But why are you asking me to come here? ¡°I guess Kalech Forest is towards the northern entrance?¡± In response to Dio¡¯s words, Roberto pointed and explained in a loud voice as if telling him not to worry. ¡°Inside the castle, an underground passage leads to Kalekh Forest. ¡°You can travel much safer if you take this route.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m definitely not deceiving you. ¡°If you feel uneasy, you can cross the forest another way.¡± Roberto spoke quickly, fearing that his actions might seem suspicious, but Dio shook his head at his actions. ¡°No, go this way. ¡°It seems like it might be faster.¡± ¡°Oh yes. Of course it¡¯s faster, but¡­¡± Roberto once again felt strange at Dio¡¯s sudden change in mood. Is it an illusion that the unidentified mercenary, who introduced himself as Leo, feels as if he knows the geography of this place extremely well? Of course, Roberto¡¯s ability to feel blood better than other vampires was by no means an illusion. Because Dio already knew the shortcut introduced by Roberto. ¡®There are few NPCs other than the player who know this place¡­there¡¯s definitely something there.¡¯ As Roberto said, this passage safely leads to the center of Kalech Forest, so Dio obediently began to follow him. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 51 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 51Episode 51 Kalech Forest. The player simply perceives it as a hunting ground where vampires and werewolves appear, but it was an area with its own setting. People who become vampires and werewolves in an unexpected accident face the fate of being chased by hunters for the rest of their lives. They moved north to avoid humans in order to survive. The place where they gathered was Kalech Forest, near Estellum, the city of the dead. As time passed, the number of vampires and werewolves increased, and even those who were wanderers became groups. The two groups could not get along well as they were competing for human blood. Vampires thought werewolves were foolish beasts, and werewolves thought vampires were cunning, like bats. Because complete coexistence is impossible for them, they created a safe zone in Kalekh Forest for the sake of species conservation. So what is the standard for that safe zone? NPCs don¡¯t go around often, but there are places that are definitely left in the minds of players. A herbalist who seems to have settled down to provide for someone¡¯s convenience. The place he was¡­. * * * Dio and his party, who followed Roberto into the safety zone of Kalech Forest, were able to arrive in front of a hut that was standing in a dark place. ¡°Please wait a moment. ¡°I will inform the master of your visit.¡± After asking for Dio¡¯s understanding, Roberto immediately knocked politely on the door of the simple cabin. ¡®Right. The owner Roberto was talking about was an herbalist.¡¯ Dio knows who owns the cabin. I don¡¯t remember his name, but there was an extra NPC who lived here and provided various help to the players. He was the owner of the hut and an herbalist. Like an herbalist, he sells recovery items for players and also buys loot obtained through hunting. ¡®I didn¡¯t expect there to be a special background¡­but there was a reason.¡¯ It is not known how the herbalist came to settle here. The herbalist that Dio remembers is not an important NPC active in the main scenario of the Order Board. This is because there was no need for Dio to know the settings for characters who, like Ludens, had no special characteristics. ¡°master. ¡°I have brought you the guests I mentioned before.¡± As soon as Roberto finished speaking, the door to the cabin opened and an old man with a very benevolent appearance appeared. ¡°Hehe Robert. ¡°Someone told me it was a special blood, so I had no idea it was such an important guest¡­ Come in and get me a cup of tea.¡± ¡°Ah yes! yes!¡± Roberto seemed quite surprised as he didn¡¯t know that his owner would personally open the door and greet him, so he answered and entered the cabin. ¡°I see some familiar customers. ¡°It¡¯s shabby, but please come in.¡± Despite the old man¡¯s polite treatment, Dio had no choice but to be wary. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Because my first impression of an ¡®old gentleman¡¯ was the same as Ludens. Of course, there were other reasons. ¡®Did you recognize Sepia? In that case, this interest is also¡­.¡¯ ¡°Schwalt!¡± While Dio thought the old man recognized Sephia, he heard the voice of Evelyn, who was very surprised. ¡°okay. Little witch. You are much taller than when we last met. ¡°Is your teacher well?¡± ¡°Yes yes! ¡°Take care of yourself, Master!¡± Evelyn, who was very nervous, answered, and as expected, Dio had an intuition that this old man called Schwalt was one of the seven stars. ¡°Ah, the introduction is late. ¡°My name is Schwald Eindhauer, and you are Dio and¡­Sepia that Ludens mentioned, right?¡± Schuwald, who was sitting on a chair, gave Dio and Sepia a greeting and introduced himself. ¡°Silver hair and golden eyes¡­ she looks exactly like her¡­¡± Schuwald muttered, immediately seeing Sepia¡¯s appearance disguised by Evelyn¡¯s recognition-impairing magic. Although Schuwald¡¯s meaningful words bothered him, Dio remembered the original purpose of coming to him and asked directly. ¡°You know us. ¡°I heard the story, but is it really one of the seven stars?¡± ¡°Hehe, okay. Although it is lacking, it occupies an important position in leading the believers.¡± Unlike Ludens, Dio did not let down his nervousness as Schuwald spoke, maintaining a humble attitude. Rather, it is common for people like that to not easily reveal their true feelings. Besides, wasn¡¯t the opponent a big guy called the Vampire Lord? ¡°I understand what you said. But I don¡¯t know what the seven stars are doing.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t Ludens tell you a story?¡± ¡°yes. Instead of telling us, they put us in danger. As he said, I came to Estellum in search of the elder, but I am the Seven Stars¡­ so I still don¡¯t trust you.¡± ¡°What kind of rudeness is that?¡± Roberto, who was preparing tea, blushed and became upset at Dio¡¯s words. ¡°Robert! You are precious guests. ¡°Make no mistake.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Robert, who had stepped up to assert his master¡¯s authority, was embarrassed and stuttered when Schuwald scolded him. ¡°Oh my. Your strength is that you are sensitive. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you over and over again that you should control your emotions well because it¡¯s so easy to get swayed?¡± ¡°sorry. master.¡± Robert bowed his head in response to Schuwald¡¯s scolding and quietly retired to make tea. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Still, that kid is the only vampire who respects me. It¡¯s upright and the future is bright.¡± ¡°no. ¡°I was rude at first.¡± Dio took a step back at Schuwald¡¯s words, not sure if he was acting or sincere. The only thing D.O truly believes in right now is the ¡®system.¡¯ ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Main Scenario ¨C 1] [Type: Class Quest] [I encountered a person who remembered forgotten history. If you complete all background knowledge, you can draw out hidden special powers.] [Reward: Class 1st Awakening] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Quest content updated after Ludens is a story of forgotten history. It¡¯s about finding out the background. Judging by Evelyn¡¯s reaction and various circumstances, it is almost certain that Schuwald is one of the seven stars. However, he does not know whether the seven stars are his true allies or whether they are just beings he wants to use. In the midst of all this, the system stated that it could cause class awakening through them, so I had no choice but to ask them, even though I believed in the system. ¡°I accidentally acquired a forgotten power and I need help from people who know about it. ¡°Can you tell us about forgotten history?¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s history¡­ It¡¯s not difficult to tell children stories of the past. but!¡± Schuwald stood up. Then he went outside the cabin and spoke, and Dio watched him. ¡°Before that, I need to check if you have the ¡®key¡¯.¡± ¡°A key?¡± ¡°okay.¡± Dio, who did not understand what Schuwald said, asked back, and Schuwald was still smiling with his arms behind his back. ¡°As much as you doubt the seven stars, shouldn¡¯t I check on you too?¡± ¡°¡­Yes. What do I have to prove? ¡°Can I show off the forgotten powers I possess?¡± Dio spoke, recalling his forgotten sword skills, but Schuwald shook his head. ¡°The forgotten power you have is not the true power of the sun.¡± ¡°What is that?¡± Trudging ¨C Instead of answering Dio¡¯s question for a more detailed explanation, Schuwald walked in front of a nearby giant rock. Schuwald, standing in front of the rock, released his hands from behind his back and slowly raised his fist. bang! Schuwald¡¯s fist was instantly embedded in the rock. Patter- As Schwald removed his arm from the rock and shook off his hand, a small piece of rock dust fell to the floor. ¡®what? Are you showing off your strength?¡¯ Dio frowned as he did not understand Schuwald¡¯s actions. Although the strength to stick a fist into a rock is incredible, it is something that even a level 300 martial artist can easily do. Even more so, I thought that the existence of the seven stars, who seemed so amazing, was nothing more than showing off their power. ¡°Come here and see.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Schuwald, who had read Dio¡¯s disappointed expression, still smiled and pointed to the rock in front of him. ¡°What do you want me to see?¡± Dio responded bluntly and touched the rock that Schuwald had touched, and that was the moment. Jeezjeokjeok- Krrrrrrrr! The rock, which had begun to crumble from the inside, instantly turned into powder and fell down in vain. ¡®What is this?¡¯ Dio broke into a cold sweat at the incredible power that unfolded before his eyes. ¡°This is the power of the sun. ¡°Can you do it now?¡± ¡°¡­no. ¡°I cannot use this power.¡± Dio, who tried to calm his startled mind, shook his head. Schuwald showed no sign of hitting the rock hard. It was just a light action, like a child putting his fist into a sandbox¡­. Does Sephia unconsciously use this force when she gets angry? ¡°How is it? ¡°Don¡¯t you want to deal with the power of the sun?¡± ¡°¡­Can I use the power of the sun if I learn from the elder?¡± ¡°Of course, if you really are the key.¡± After hearing Schuwald¡¯s words, Dio expressed doubts in his mind. ¡®key?¡¯ I don¡¯t know what key Schuwald is talking about. When I think of a key, the only thing that comes to mind is what was created when I gained power from the Death Knight. However, learning the power of the sun itself is very beneficial to you. Without hesitation, Dio nodded and opened his mouth. ¡°great. Please teach me. ¡°Let¡¯s deal with power.¡± ¡°Good idea. ¡°Before that, there¡¯s one thing I¡¯d like to ask of you.¡± Schuwald cleared his throat awkwardly, as if he was embarrassed, and Dio remembered why Robert had invited them here. ¡°Ah, do you mean blood?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I think you¡¯ve already figured it out, but I need human blood on a regular basis¡­ Have you heard anything from that friend of Ludens?¡± ¡°yes. Well, I heard that the believers of the sun were cursed.¡± Dio recalled Ludens¡¯ words that all the believers of the sun who lost in the Holy Demon War were cursed. It was said that the former cardinal was living as a vampire because of that. ¡°Then the story will be quick. When the full moon rises, I go crazy and run wild. ¡°Other friends are so extraordinary that they can control it, but I find it especially difficult to tolerate it.¡± ¡°Is there any special reason?¡± ¡°Well¡­I guess it¡¯s because I¡¯m lacking a lot. Even before I was cursed, I was a poor person whose skills didn¡¯t improve much. So I had to double or triple the penance. Unlike other colleagues. ¡°Hehehe.¡± Schuwald narrowed his eyes at Dio who was looking at him and smiled with the kindness in the world. ¡°Shall I be honest? I bet you are the key we seven stars are looking for. Otherwise, there would be no way Roberto would have known about your special blood right away.¡± Schuwald, who had strong faith in Roberto¡¯s sensitive senses, spoke in a confident tone. ¡°You¡¯re not going to bite your neck, are you?¡± ¡°Huh, can that be possible? ¡°There are plenty of tools for collecting blood.¡± Schuwald laughed brightly at Dio¡¯s joke. ¡°With your blood containing the power of the key, you will be able to endure the upcoming full moon with greater ease than before.¡± ¡°Can you also explain what that key is?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell you that if you become good at handling your powers.¡± Dio thought that it was not easy to hear Schuwald¡¯s sly suggestion. ¡®In the end, in order to proceed with the quest, I will have no choice but to listen to Schuwald¡¯s demands. If I can also use the power of the sun that I saw earlier, it is not a bad condition for me.¡¯ Rather than trusting Schuwald, Dio decided to trust the system and accept his offer. ¡®It doesn¡¯t seem like he¡¯s asking for blood with bad intentions. Well, it¡¯s natural for vampires to want blood.¡¯ Moreover, as Robert said, Schuwald was a person who supplied blood in a peaceful way. ¡®If Schwald goes berserk, it¡¯s clear that the progress of the quest will be disrupted¡­ Anyway, it¡¯s unusual. A vampire running rampant on a full moon.¡¯ Dio, who decided to delve into the character Schwalt more accurately while receiving instruction, opened his mouth to Sephia and Evelyn. ¡°good. We will stay here for a while. Sepia, you too will receive lessons from the elders along with me.¡± ¡°all right.¡± ¡°Me too!¡± Evelyn, who had heard of Schuwald¡¯s reputation, raised her hand and shouted for him to join her as well. ¡°Don¡¯t you little witch have a great teacher? ¡°He won¡¯t like it¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m a believer in the sun too! ¡°I did a lot of research, and although it doesn¡¯t have the power of sepia¡­ won¡¯t God give you strength if you pray hard?¡± ¡°Hehe, okay. ¡°Just knowing the theory will be helpful someday.¡± Schuwald agreed surprisingly easily, and Dio thought he was quite generous. ¡°master. ¡°Tea and meals are ready.¡± Robert suddenly approached them and reported to Schuwald. ¡°Okay. Now that the sun is setting, let¡¯s go in and have a meal together. ¡°The night comes early in the forest, so training starts tomorrow.¡± ¡°yes.¡± ¡°yes!¡± Sepia and Aveline each answer in different tones. Unlike them, Dio just looked at Schuwald¡¯s back toward the cabin and pondered over the conversation they had just had. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 52 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 52Episode 52: Morning has arrived in Kalech Forest. Dio, who woke up after hearing Roberto say that the meal was ready, checked the equipment and went out of the room. ¡°Ouch¡­Ah Dio, how are you?¡± Sephia was seen frowning and rubbing her forearms first. Last night, as requested by Schuwald, Dio¡¯s companions drew a small amount of blood. Rather than using magic, blood was collected using a state-of-the-art(?) tool using a syringe. According to Schuwald, he asked a dwarf he knew to make a custom order. Although it was said that it was to avoid harming the other person, the expressions on Sepia and Evelyn¡¯s faces when they received the syringe for the first time were quite worth seeing. ¡°Haam¡­¡± Still, unlike Sepia, Evelyn, who was sitting in front of the table looking quite fine, looked down at the food that had been prepared. ¡°Hey, what is it? ¡°The only thing you can do is remove the shoots, right?¡± Evelyn, who had been eating a lot of fatty food for a while with Dio¡¯s money, looked disappointed at the stew without a single trace of meat. ¡°If you¡¯re going to be dissatisfied, don¡¯t eat it.¡± Roberto responded coldly, as if he had not forgotten Evelyn, who had used magic on him. ¡°You have no energy because you lost a lot of blood yesterday!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss. ¡°I collected the appropriate amount of blood as the master said.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t lie! ¡°Do you think you don¡¯t know that they only gave me a strong injection?¡± Aren¡¯t vampires and witches a good match? With the exception of Schuwald, who had lived for over a thousand years, the relationship between Roberto and Eveline did not seem to be very good. ¡°Is the meal too meager for these precious guests?¡± Schuwald, who arrived late in front of the noisy table, appeared giggling. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Oh no! There is a lot to eat like this. thank you for this food.¡± No matter how careless Evelin was, she did not act carelessly in front of Schuwald. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I collect herbs and was a vegetarian until I was cursed. ¡°It looks like the habits from back then still remain.¡± ¡®Vampires are vegetarians¡­¡¯ Dio was shocked to hear Schuwald¡¯s words, but tried not to show it. ¡°Hurry up and have dinner. Thanks to you guys, Roberto and I are stronger than usual. ¡°Ah, is it rude to say this?¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­.¡± Sephia and Evelyn laughed awkwardly at Schuwald¡¯s joke, having already finished eating(?) the fresh blood provided by Dio¡¯s group. After breakfast, Schuwald called everyone to the large open space in front of the cabin. ¡°Now then, before we begin full-scale training, let¡¯s check Dio¡¯s special skills. From the looks of it, it looks like you¡¯re using a sword. Would you mind showing some insight?¡± ¡°Does it have any meaning?¡± ¡°of course. It will be much easier to manipulate the power of the sun according to the fighting style that suits you.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Dio agreed to Schuwald¡¯s words and drew his sword. In the vacant lot, there was firewood that seemed to have been piled up by Roberto. Shushushush ¨C Dio used his forgotten sword skills to split a large log into several pieces without even needing to take a separate stance. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Schuwald watched in silence as Dio¡¯s skills didn¡¯t seem particularly grand. ¡®Is this not enough?¡¯ After observing Schuwald¡¯s notice, Dio raised his sword once again, thinking it would be better to show Schuwald everything related to the forgotten power. It¡¯s like, baba baba bak! Dio used slash after slash on a piece of log that had been chopped down into suitable firewood. However, the piece did not break into smaller pieces, and only a small mark was created that was grazed by the blade. Tung-! After completing all preparations, Dio kicked out a piece of log and raised it high into the sky. Everyone¡¯s eyes turned to the sky as they watched the firewood fly high into the sky. ¡®width.¡¯ Quang! The firewood with the mark on it, just like the one used when fighting the warlock Viktor, immediately caused a huge explosion. ¡°Hoo¡­¡± ¡°Wow, what is it?¡± ¡°Did you know you could do something like that?¡± Schuwald¡¯s eyes changed with interest, and Evelyn, who was seeing Dio¡¯s technique for the first time, looked quite surprised. ¡°¡­This is all I can do.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Schuwald nodded at Dio¡¯s words and approached him. ¡°I miss the swordsmanship. But the operation is much simpler than I remember. ¡°Where did you get that strength?¡± ¡°I got it from a forgotten temple in the village of Evra, located south of here.¡± ¡°okay. That¡¯s how it happened. Do you know Adelia Darc?¡± In response to Schuwald¡¯s question, Dio thought of the Death Knight of the Forgotten Temple. ¡®The Death Knight¡¯s name must be¡­¡¯ The real name of the Death Knight that the system provided. When Dio heard that name from Schuwald¡¯s mouth, he realized that she was also a contemporary of the seven stars. ¡°yes. I know, but I don¡¯t know the details. ¡°Who is she?¡± ¡°He was a strong and noble paladin. She was the sword and shield of the sun and was never afraid to take the lead in destroying evil.¡± ¡°She too has become a Death Knight now. ¡°So you¡¯re cursed like the seven stars?¡± ¡°Death Knight?¡± ¡°yes.¡± When told that Adelia Darc had become a Death Knight, Schuwald muttered, ¡®That¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t find her.¡¯ As Dio watched Schuwald thinking deeply about something, a question arose. ¡°Then why isn¡¯t she active in the world like the other seven stars? If she is the strongest among the believers of the sun¡­¡± ¡°Well¡­ I don¡¯t know why she hid. But they say that all believers in the sun have wounds that cannot be washed away. ¡°It could be that they are afraid of it.¡± Schuwald closed his eyes as if recalling the past. ¡°How painful it is to have to live in a body that cannot even die. We don¡¯t hate Adelia. ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ it¡¯s a pity.¡± In response to Schuwald¡¯s bitter words, Dio said nothing more. ¡°Anyway, I know that I learned Adelia¡¯s swordsmanship. But I am a monk who practices martial arts. So it will be difficult to give you help with swordsmanship.¡± Dio nodded at Schuwald¡¯s words. Actually, the forgotten swordsmanship is a skill that grows on its own when the conditions are met, so there is actually no need for Schuwald¡¯s help. At that time, Schuwald was my partner! and applauded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. Still, I have something to teach you.¡± ¡°yes? ¡°So are you learning fighting skills?¡± ¡°No, what I will teach you is how to manipulate power. ¡°Do you remember what I demonstrated yesterday?¡± ¡°yes.¡± Dio recalled Schuwald¡¯s power that turned the rock into powder. ¡°If you can use Adelia¡¯s swordsmanship, it is clear that you have the power of the sun. ¡°It¡¯s just that you don¡¯t feel it, do you?¡± ¡°yes.¡± ¡°The power flowing through your body. Some call it mana, some call it an auror¡­ if we put it our way, we could call it divine power, right?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­.¡± Dio could not easily answer Schuwald¡¯s difficult explanation. It seems like these are similar words to what Evelyn said when teaching Sepia¡­ To be honest, Dio was doubtful as to whether it was possible for him, as a player, to feel an invisible force. ¡°Things like mana are simply used. It¡¯s about taking the energy of nature and using it for yourself. Ah, divine power can be seen as a little different. ¡°Because, besides the power of nature, it is a power that only selected members of the church can use.¡± Schwald¡¯s explanation continued whether Dio understood it or not. ¡°For example, collecting water from the ground and putting it into different shaped vessels. ¡°Is what I¡¯m saying difficult?¡± ¡°no! ¡°It fits my ears!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Evelyn, who was listening next to him, raised her hand and answered on Dio¡¯s behalf. ¡°You are a witch who has dealt with mana from the beginning, so it will be easy for you to understand what I am saying. sepia. ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°Honestly, I don¡¯t know. But if you follow the feeling¡­¡± Sephia answered, recalling the method Evelyn had taught her. ¡°okay. Just imitating will help a lot. ¡°Our little witch taught us well.¡± ¡°lol.¡± Evelyn smiled cheerfully at Schuwald¡¯s praise. ¡°But imitation alone cannot handle the true power of the sun. In the end, you must feel this power for yourself.¡± Schuwald spread his palms. ¡°I compared mana to water on the ground, right? but.¡± Chii Iik- ¡°The sun is too hot to become water.¡± Sepia and Evelyn¡¯s eyes widened at the intense heat generated by Schuwald¡¯s open palm. It¡¯s invisible to the eye, but it seems to exist. I could vividly feel the intense heat radiating from the power of that presence. ¡°okay. The power of the sun burns away water. ¡°It means that the power of the sun is contained in the vapor from which the water evaporates.¡± Schuwald clenches his fists. A soft light began to surround his fist. ¡°Water is free, but water that becomes vapor is even freer. So there are endless ways to utilize it.¡± ¡°Is this because the volume of gaseous water vapor is much larger than the volume of liquid water?¡± This time, Dio, not Evelyn, who was an excellent student, pretended to know, and Evelyn grumbled as if she was upset about it. ¡°I was going to tell you!¡± ¡°¡­What are you disassembling?¡± Schuwald laughed at their conversation and began to compress the power of the sun even more. ¡°The amount of mana is determined by an individual¡¯s capabilities, but the power of the sun can produce strong power regardless of an individual¡¯s capabilities.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Evelyn asked as if she couldn¡¯t understand Schuwald¡¯s explanation. Isn¡¯t it a law of nature that an individual can use as much power as he or she has? ¡®If you consider the wasted energy, it would be normal to produce weaker power¡­¡¯ Like Evelyn, Dio, who was not convinced by Schuwald¡¯s words, tilted his head. Schuwald looked at them and immediately continued his explanation. ¡°If the power of the sun I have is weak, it can be solved by using the light available anywhere in the world. This process is called ¡®absorption.¡¯¡± ¡°ah!¡± Evelyn, whose curiosity was resolved by Schuwald¡¯s words with a smile, let out a small exclamation. Wherever there is light, there is shadow everywhere. Evelyn, a witch who manipulates shadows, would have been easier to understand. Woooooung ¨C A dazzling beam of light shining down from a cloudless sky. It seemed as if the light was absorbed by Schuwald¡¯s hand. ¡°If we have borrowed enough of the sun¡¯s power through the process of absorption¡­¡± Schwald turned and snapped his fingers, aiming at the empty space. pop-! Quagwagwagwang! A huge explosion occurred that could not even be compared to the width of Dio. ¡°Just ¡®releasing¡¯ it like this poses a great threat to our enemies.¡± With the empty lot in the background becoming a sea of fire, Schuwald turned his head to Dio again. ¡°It¡¯s the same with the rock I showed you yesterday. ¡°I simply transferred the absorbed power of the sun deep into the rock and released it from within.¡± ¡®You say it as if it¡¯s no big deal.¡¯ From Schuwald¡¯s words, Dio had an intuition that his future training would not be smooth at all. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t understand the theory right away. ¡°I will help you as much as I can.¡± Schuwald, with a bright smile on Dio¡¯s confused expression, told him not to worry. One way or another, even if the thorny road ahead was good, there was no reason for Dio not to receive Schuwald¡¯s teachings. ¡®Hidden conditions to evolve skills. If we awaken to the power of the sun, wouldn¡¯t we be able to discover that condition?¡¯ This was because the power of the sun must be obtained in order to uncover the forgotten swordsman or proceed with the quest. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s give it a try.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 53 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 53Episode 53 Three days have passed since Schuwald¡¯s full-scale teaching began. Dio and the others stayed at Schuwald¡¯s cabin and received guidance on how to control the power of the sun. ¡°Whew¡­¡± Dio finished his meditation and sighed deeply. Schuwald first taught how to meditate in the sun. Is it helpful to feel the power of the sun, even indirectly? ¡®Still, I feel like I can feel it¡­don¡¯t I?¡¯ It may be that your skin is simply burned by the strong sunlight. In a difficult situation where he wondered if he would be able to realize the power of the sun through these practices, Dio once again focused on meditation because there was no other way. ¡°Huh huh. ¡°Go with Sepia!¡± ¡°Are you okay?¡± Dio, who was trying to meditate, opened his eyes again when he heard the voices of his companions coming from afar. In Dio¡¯s field of vision, it was Sepia and Evelyn coming out of the forest. Meditation was not the only part of Schuwald¡¯s training. This is the center of Kalech Forest, where vampires and werewolves live. Even in the original version of Order, Schuwald, the herbalist, would give players quests to kill nearby monsters. Just like then, Schuwald gave Sepia and Evelyn the task of hunting monsters. ¡°Heh heh sepia. ¡°You have quite good physical strength.¡± ¡°yes. ¡°D.O. always made me do physical training.¡± The forest path must have been quite rough, so Evelyn, her robe covered in leaves, lay down next to Dio, who was sitting in the clearing. No matter how high the level was, the physical strength of the witch who stayed in the cave and devoted herself to research was far less than the Sepia trained by Dio. ¡°How much did you hunt today?¡± ¡°About two.¡± Sepia showed Dio the fangs she got from hunting a vampire she encountered in the forest. ¡°I almost died! ¡°Schwalt, you¡¯re going too far. You¡¯re restricting my specialty, shadow magic!¡± ¡°Still, I was able to complete the mission thanks to Master¡¯s magic.¡± ¡°Then of course! ¡°Who is this body?¡± Schuwald wanted to awaken the power of the sun through actual combat and placed some restrictions on Sepia and Evelyn. First, think that the power of the sun is always by your side even if the sunlight is blocked by the bushes. In the second battle, if possible, use spells related to fire and light. It was not an easy mission for Sepia and Evelyn as they had to deal with the monsters of Kalech Forest while meeting the above difficult conditions. The vampires I faced today were also level 140 monsters. Even though Evelyn was a witch of level 150 or higher, it would have been difficult for even her to face off against a vampire if her magical properties were limited. ¡®Still, it seems like Schuwald is paying attention. It won¡¯t be dangerous.¡¯ Sephia was the chosen one of the seven stars, and Evelyn was the disciple of the Witch of Balance. No matter how much training you have, if you put them in danger, they will be in trouble in many ways, so it is only natural that Schuwald will watch their backs. Since Schuwald, the strongest here, was protecting him, Dio was able to focus on his training without worry. ¡°Dio, is there any progress?¡± ¡°What am I¡­¡± Dio trailed off in response to Sepia¡¯s question. Schuwald said that the ¡®breadth¡¯ of swordsmanship is also the power of the sun. Dio also understood that if we unravel the process of width one by one, it ultimately boils down to the principles of absorption and emission. ¡®The problem is that the width used by the skill must be used without the help of the system¡­¡¯ Dio looked down at the firewood that had been completely charred by the explosion and thought about his previous training. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª 1. Achieve mastery level 100 ¨C [Completed] 2. [Width] Use 1000 times 913/1000 3. Acquire essence of flame 4. [???] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª How wide is it? I don¡¯t know if you used . When Dio ran out of mana, he even drank mana potions. He almost got poisoned by the potion, but fortunately, Dio, who was in a stagnant state, controlled it on his own, so such unfortunate events did not continue. Anyway, he stayed up all night using the skill, but Dio only met the skill condition of having to use it 1,000 times and didn¡¯t actually feel much. ¡®If I fill in number 1000, won¡¯t the system tell me how to do it?¡¯ A thought suddenly occurred to me that even if I couldn¡¯t learn Schuwald¡¯s teachings to the end, what would the system do for me? ¡°Huh, if you keep doing it, you¡¯ll get a clue. ¡°I guess I should go hunting in the forest too.¡± Dio got up from his seat out of stress or anxiety and kicked a piece of wood that had turned into charcoal. ¡°Hey, I guess I¡¯m having a hard time concentrating.¡± Schuwald suddenly appeared and approached Dio with a friendly smile. ¡°no. ¡°I was just thinking of going to the forest to get some fresh air.¡± ¡°Hehe, if you¡¯re too hasty, nothing will happen. ¡°Now that the ladies have returned, let¡¯s have a meal and rest together.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Dio nodded without disagreement at Schuwald¡¯s words, which seemed to penetrate his troubled mind. ¡°Schwalt! ¡°Isn¡¯t meat for dinner tonight?¡± ¡°okay. Roberto happened to be shopping.¡± ¡°Oh yea!¡± Evelyn, who had been complaining about the mission just a moment ago, ran towards the cabin. Quadang! ¡°Keueeek!¡± Evelyn, who had just finished her mission and was exhausted and anxious, was unable to avoid the stone and fell down. ¡°Master! are you okay? ¡°I heard something like a death sound!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sepia was the only one who was worried about Evelyn, who always showed off her foolish behavior. ¡°You should be careful. ¡°Let me see where the wound is severe.¡± ¡°¡­are you okay. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± Evelyn, whose tension suddenly dropped as if she knew she was embarrassed, entered the cabin and Sepia followed behind her. ¡°Hehe, what a fun little witch. ¡°Isn¡¯t that right?¡± ¡°¡­well.¡± She might look cute to someone over a thousand years old, but to Dio at least, she was just a troublemaker witch who took a lot of work. ¡°I understand why the Witch of Balance loves her student so much.¡± ¡°Are you familiar with the Witch of Balance?¡± ¡°okay. We seven stars meet regularly. Have you ever heard of it?¡± ¡°Walpurgis Night?¡± Dio responded to Schuwald¡¯s words, recalling what he had heard from Evelyn. ¡°okay. Someday, you too will be able to attend that meeting. Of course¡­if I can fully control the power of the sun.¡± Schuwald walked toward the cabin, reminding Dio of his goal once again, and Dio followed him in silence. * * * ¡°Is there a beggar in your stomach? ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a witch as uncultured as you.¡± ¡°Whoop whoop!¡± Roberto¡¯s shout to Evelyn, who had a mouth full of meat, rang out. ¡°Why are you fighting while eating?¡± Evelyn, who had barely finished eating the meat, frowned and got angry at Roberto. ¡°It¡¯s because I don¡¯t like eating food without doing anything.¡± ¡°You¡¯re saying there¡¯s nothing to do? ¡°I successfully completed the mission that Schwald told me about today!¡± ¡°You caught vampires without a family tree? ¡°Did you understand the principles of the power of the sun that the master taught you?¡± ¡°I already know the principle! ¡°It¡¯s just that, unlike Sepia, it doesn¡¯t have that power yet.¡± Seeing Evelyn fuming at Roberto¡¯s sarcasm, Sepia also joined in. ¡°that¡¯s right. ¡°If you are a teacher who is skilled in magic, you will be able to easily manipulate the power of the sun.¡± ¡°Mr. Sepia. Don¡¯t leave too much space. There is no way that witch could handle the noble power of the sun.¡± Unlike the way he addressed Evelyn, Roberto responded to Sepia¡¯s words by consistently using honorifics. ¡°You¡¯re so proud, are you saying you can control the power of the sun?¡± ¡°I know my subject. ¡°I don¡¯t waste my already busy master¡¯s time by making a fuss like you do.¡± As Eveline and Roberto spent more time bickering, the peaceful meal became more noisy. Dio¡¯s first impression of Roberto was that he was a fairly polite vampire. Perhaps thanks to Schuwald¡¯s influence, Roberto, unlike other vampires, did not look down on humans and always treated Dio and Sepia with respect. Moreover, after hearing from Schuwald that they were important people to the believers of the Sun, he treated them even more carefully. However, this did not apply to Evelyn. In a way, Eveline and Roberto are like brothers and sisters who both believe in the sun. Aren¡¯t they each the disciples of the seven stars who lead the believers of the sun? Roberto did not like the attitude of Eveline, who was in the same position as him, having to serve the seven stars. It was impossible for him to ask the master he respected the most to teach him the power of the noble sun. ¡°Even if I don¡¯t get the power of the sun, a guy like you is still a handful, right?¡± ¡°I just let my guard down back then! ¡°If I knew you weren¡¯t human, you wouldn¡¯t have had a chance to use magic!¡± ¡°Stop doing it.¡± Eveline and Roberto hurriedly covered their mouths when Schuwald, who was resting in the room, intervened. ¡°Tsk tsk, you can¡¯t help the bloodiness of young children.¡± ¡°Hey! I¡¯m sorry you¡¯re taking a break. master.¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s okay. Still, it¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve seen you this energetic. ¡°It¡¯s actually nice to see.¡± ¡°Oh no.¡± Roberto stuttered as if embarrassed by Schuwald¡¯s words. ¡°Even though we come from different backgrounds, aren¡¯t we all believers in the sun? ¡°We will have to work together to get through things in the future, so I hope we can remain close.¡± ¡°¡­All right.¡± Roberto gritted his teeth at the sight of Eveline sticking out her tongue behind Schuwald, but obeyed the master¡¯s words. Taking advantage of the lull and silence, Dio opened his mouth to Schuwald. ¡°Why are you working as an herbalist? ¡°And that too, alone with Roberto.¡± The story of an herbalist who wasn¡¯t even interested when playing the game. But now that I knew that Schuwald was an important person, I needed to know a little bit about his background. ¡°Hehe, do you think this doesn¡¯t suit me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that. However, haven¡¯t the other seven stars like you established their own forces?¡± Ludens, who leads the Golden Dawn. The witch of balance who leads the witches. I haven¡¯t met the other seven stars yet, but since they are so powerful, it makes sense for them to have their own power. If you have power, it will be easy to obtain information about the surrounding area. However, in the case of Schuwald, Dio was curious about Schuwald¡¯s appearance as if he were a person living in seclusion and escaping from the secular world. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°If we want to bring back the sun, it would be better to create a force.¡± Schuwald nodded at Dio¡¯s words. ¡°I was a monk before I was cursed. ¡°I¡¯m embarrassed to say it with my own mouth, but there were quite a few colleagues who followed me at the time.¡± Schuwald closed his eyes and fell into contemplation, as if reminiscing about the past. ¡°But why¡­¡± Dio cautiously opened his mouth to Schuwald, who was silent for a while. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry. When I talk to you, I keep thinking about old times. Hehe, the reason I didn¡¯t create a force is simple. ¡°It¡¯s because of the full moon.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Dio remembered Schuwald¡¯s words about people going crazy when the moon is full. ¡®It looks like that runaway thing is pretty serious. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s just an inability to identify enemies¡­¡¯ Vampires and werewolves. Among these, even those who normally took human form often lost their temper and went berserk on days when the full moon was rising. ¡®I thought that a strong being like Schwald would naturally not experience such a phenomenon.¡¯ Dio, who thought it was not a serious problem considering that Schuwald himself did not consider it a big deal, updated the information about him again. ¡®For a vampire lord, he has a gentle personality, is not arrogant, and is sensitive to Manwol¡­¡¯ Even as Dio was organizing his thoughts, Schuwald continued speaking. ¡°A monk is a ascetic who practices asceticism, abandons greed, and empties his mind. ¡°The creed I learned and practiced in those days was ¡®Do no harm to others.¡¯¡± Dio listened closely to Schuwald¡¯s words, wondering if he could finally hear the story before the Holy Demon War. ¡°Even though I was cursed to have a body like this, I didn¡¯t want to cause harm to others. ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m staying in this remote place.¡± Only after Schuwald had finished speaking was Dio able to nod. ¡®It would be impossible to form a group if the leader went crazy periodically. By the way¡­¡¯ Although it was only a short time, Dio, who had come to understand Schuwald¡¯s personality to some extent, pressed his fingers to his temples. ¡°When you were a monk¡­ So, can you tell me about the past?¡± ¡°Hehehe. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would tell me everything if you realized the power of the sun?¡± ¡°Honestly, it¡¯s too difficult. To feel an unknown power that you¡¯ve never felt before¡­¡± Dio complained, but Schuwald just shook his head and didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of easily telling Dio what he wanted. ¡°You know too much.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 54 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 54Episode 54 ¡°Yes?¡± Dio did not understand Schuwald¡¯s words and asked back. What does it mean to know a lot? ¡°On the contrary, there are so many that I am just thinking about it in a complicated way. ¡°Look at sepia.¡± ¡°Me?¡± Sephia, who was listening to the conversation between the two, blinked and pointed at herself with a finger. ¡°It¡¯s a blank slate where you don¡¯t know anything, so you learn it quickly.¡± ¡°Is that a compliment?¡± ¡°ha ha ha! of course. Sepia¡­you must be vaguely feeling it, right?¡± When Schuwald stopped laughing, Dio looked at Sepia in quite surprise. Sepia was embarrassed by Dio¡¯s gaze and quietly opened her mouth. ¡°Honestly, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s an illusion or not. But this warm feeling¡­ I can definitely feel it since yesterday.¡± ¡°I guess so.¡± Dio had felt it from the beginning, but Sepia¡¯s talent was truly frightening. I thought it was my fault that I couldn¡¯t feel mana, but as expected, with the right educator, learning was instantaneous. When he felt that Sepia was overtaking him, Dio felt somewhat relieved. Well, as long as Sepia can quickly use her power, there is nothing wrong with her. ¡°Why would I have ordered you to meditate rather than enter the forest?¡± Dio, who was thinking about something else, heard Schuwald¡¯s question. ¡°well. ¡°I feel energetic, but I have no talent?¡± ¡°No. Didn¡¯t you say it at the beginning? ¡°You know too much.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio was stung inside by Schuwald¡¯s words. Even as we were talking, weren¡¯t you preoccupied with all kinds of thoughts about the system and quests? ¡°I believe you understand what I mean.¡± With these words, Schuwald stood up first and headed outside the cabin. The cabin where Schuwald was away was quiet, and the others remained silent as they watched Dio lost in thought. Schuwald¡¯s advice. ¡®To put it simply, I guess I have a lot of random thoughts.¡¯ Dio decided to take Schuwald¡¯s advice. Warehouse Survival System Quest Character Forgotten Swordsman God of the Sun¡­. Many difficult problems I have constantly thought about since coming from this world. Dio, who was making an effort to forget this for the first time, just closed his eyes in silence for a while. * * * The White Deer Inn in Estellum. Even though there was an unpleasant incident a few days ago, Estellum¡¯s popular inn was crowded with people drinking. ¡°Hahaha! Hey, bring me more booze! ¡°The most poisonous one!¡± A large man who was occupying a seat at a table in a restaurant on the first floor raised his empty glass and shouted at the waiter. A huge figure that appears to be at least 2 meters tall. With his messy brown hair, scratches on the sides of his head, and a gravelly voice and grim expression, one could easily mistake him for a Northerner, but he was not from the North. ¡°Here it is. customer.¡± ¡°I¡¯m bored with this! Bring the whole thing!¡± ¡°yes? ¡°Oh yes.¡± The waiter hurriedly dragged a huge oak barrel filled with alcohol and placed it in front of him when he ordered from a large man who had already finished several drinks. ¡°okay! This should be enough! ¡°This is a tip.¡± ¡°thank you!¡± When the waiter received the gold coin handed to him by the giant, his eyes widened and he lowered his head so deeply that it almost seemed like it was touching the ground. ¡°Kuh-! After all, the northern region knows how to make alcohol.¡± A giant who literally drinks alcohol from an oak barrel and exclaims in admiration. An inquisitor who judges heresy, and a man known as a battle fanatic among Luna¡¯s five swords. His identity was none other than ¡®Galeto Houndstooth¡¯, a heresy interrogator dispatched from the Holy Kingdom of Atra under the order of a saint. Saint Kaleina was continuing to track down a man named ¡®Monte¡¯ in connection with the incident that occurred in River North. She is a person with a great influence on the continent, comparable to the emperor of Freud¡¯s empire. After hearing Scarlett¡¯s report that Monte had been lost, she released the Inquisitors, including five swords, to each region to track Monte down. The heretic inquisitor assigned to explore the northern region was none other than Galleto. No, in fact, Galletto did not go against the saint¡¯s orders, but volunteered to search the northern region on his own. The North has long been famous as a land of ¡®alcohol¡¯ and ¡®warriors¡¯, and two of Galletto¡¯s favorite things were ¡®drinking¡¯ and ¡®fighting¡¯. This was a natural procedure. ¡°Ugh, I¡¯m finally feeling a little tipsy now.¡± Galeto, who was cleaning his teeth with a toothpick, was filled with strong drinks from the North rather than the mission of the church. ¡°This is what it would be like to be dispatched to the North. It could cool down the fiery passion in this body. Hahaha!¡± He vowed to use this opportunity to try all the alcohol in the northern region. There were no priests here, and there were many refugees and vagrant criminals, so no one recognized Galetto. ¡®If it had been any other place, everyone would have recognized me and I would have run away without even fighting. ¡®Ugh, that¡¯s good!¡¯ Galletto enjoyed the quiet and listened to the noise around him. There might be an interesting story that might interest you. -Hey, did you hear that? -You mean the story about Gordon and Joseph? Just as Galletto was about to fill his empty glass, he heard people talking at the table next to him. -I haven¡¯t seen those guys for a while. What happened? -Do you remember the people who stopped by the mercenary office with a bunch of by-products? -The guys who took away all the collection missions? Why them? -Why would you do that? Wouldn¡¯t Gordon¡¯s gang have been working on their property? -I knew a long time ago that they were crazy, but do they work without even knowing the other person? Idiots. -therefore. How strong would the mercenaries be if they caught that many monsters in such a short period of time? -Kkkkkk. So you can¡¯t see Gordon¡¯s gang these days? I got the reverse. Galletto was intrigued by the people¡¯s conversation and placed his empty glass on the table. ¡®They¡¯re strong mercenaries¡­ If they¡¯re at the level of an A-level mercenary, they¡¯ll be able to warm up, right? Come to think of it, I said that this guy named Monte was also A-level, right?¡¯ Galletto, who had had enough to drink, could not help feeling itchy. It didn¡¯t matter to him whether the mercenary they were talking about was the one the church was looking for or not. I just wanted to enjoy drinking and fighting to the fullest. Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnrance- ¡°Hey brothers.¡± ¡°What are you?¡± The people who were chatting with each other looked wary at Galletto, who was sitting at their table with his heavy body. ¡°Those guys you talked about¡­ where are they now?¡± * * * Awwwww! The howl of a wolf echoed through the dense forest. ¡°Dio! be careful!¡± Sepia spotted two werewolves rushing towards Dio and shouted urgently. However, Dio did not pay attention to the drooling werewolves who were approaching. No, I couldn¡¯t look at it. Because he had his eyes closed. Dio thought about Schuwald¡¯s advice. -You think too much. Until now, Dio had unconsciously been thinking about the ¡®system¡¯ to activate skills when fighting. So Dio decided to start using the forgotten sword technique of ¡®cutting¡¯ without the help of skills. There is a clear difference in power between simply swinging and cutting using a skill. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If you could use a forgotten sword slash just by thinking about the power of the sun, it would be like feeling the sun yourself. Ping ¨C Dio¡¯s silver blade was stuck in the necks of the charging werewolves. ¡°Krrrrr!¡± ¡°Tch.¡± Dio¡¯s attacks without using skills were infinitely shallow. Dio rolled back to avoid the claws of the werewolf, who became even more enraged as his head did not fall from the blow. ¡°H-again.¡± After increasing the distance, Dio once again closed his eyes and concentrated. The power of the sun as seen by Schuwald. I tried to imagine it and feel it. ¡°Karrrr!¡± Another werewolf attacking Dio. Kang! Dio sensed the werewolf¡¯s approach and swung his sword, this time colliding with the werewolf¡¯s claws. ¡°shit!¡± If he had used the skill, he would have cut off the werewolf¡¯s neck or claws in one go. However, as Dio¡¯s attack power was significantly lowered, the werewolves¡¯ attacks slowed down, but they were still alive and howled at Dio. ¡°Coooooooo!¡± ¡°Karrrr!¡± There are a total of three werewolves surrounding Dio. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to get hurt doing that?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Evelyn, who was watching Dio¡¯s bloody battle, looked nervous and said to Sephia next to her. ¡°¡­Trust me just once.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Sepia said, recalling Dio¡¯s words before entering the battle. Dio¡¯s request not to intervene no matter what happens. Sephia believed that Dio, who she had seen so far, would definitely have an idea. Kaga River! ¡°Seup-!¡± As the three werewolves¡¯ fierce attacks continued, Dio eventually opened his eyes and was in a hurry to repel their attacks. But once the vision came into view, my concentration only became more blurred. ¡°Err!¡± Pow! Dio couldn¡¯t calm his excitement and kicked the werewolf in front of him in the stomach. ¡°Keeng!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take it slow. Hey guys .. hey guys.¡± There was only one reason why Dio closed his eyes. This was because Dio¡¯s mind was filled with strategies on the order board while the opponent was visible. What are your weaknesses? What timing do you attack? To get rid of all those thoughts, Dio chose to block his own vision. ¡°¡­.¡± A group of werewolves retreated for a moment due to Dio¡¯s strong counterattack when he opened his eyes. Dio habitually looked around and remembered Schuwald¡¯s education again. The idea is to meditate in a place where you get used to the light. Kalech Forest is dark even in broad daylight. This is because the forest that extends tens of meters blocks the sunlight. However, it is impossible to completely cover the sky just by raising your palm. Dio looked for a sunny location where the light shining through the gaps in the bushes was the strongest. ¡°then¡­!¡± Swish! Dio, who could not find a suitable place, escaped the werewolves and arrived in front of the largest tree in the vicinity. The reason why this towering tree is so much bigger than other trees. That was because this place was the sunniest place around. ¡®Let me use this space!¡¯ Suddenly! Dio held the sword in both hands and cut down the wooden pillar as if swinging an axe. Damn it! When the tree that looked like it could withstand a typhoon fell, the dazzling sunlight that had been blocking it until now poured down on Dio. ¡°good. again!¡± Dio climbed up on a fallen tree as a stepping stone and pointed his sword at the werewolves. ¡°Karrrr!¡± Werewolves run through the fallen leaves on the ground. Dio closed his eyes again. Doo doo doo ¨C Dio, who had put away all thoughts of strategies and skills, had only the sunlight shining warmly on him. ping-! Dio¡¯s sword shined even more dazzlingly in the sunlight. His sword slashed the chest of the werewolf that ran first. Suddenly! ¡°Keruk!¡± A bundle of light shot out along the sword blade that Dio swung, and the werewolf was split in two. ¡°It¡¯s a success!¡± ¡°wow!¡± Sephia and Evelyn, who were watching this, shouted. But Dio was still hungry. That feeling I felt right now. Dio threw his sword on the floor. And with both hands filled with the energy I had just felt, I once again completely absorbed the light surrounding me. ¡®Not yet a little more¡­now!¡¯ Faba Park! ¡°Kegeng!¡± ¡°Kruk!¡± The werewolves touched by Dio could not bear the intense heat and rolled around on the floor in pain. Looking down at the werewolves, Dio raised his clenched fist forward and flicked his fingers like Schuwald had done. Fuuuuuuuuuuck! An explosion much more powerful than any ¡®blast¡¯ ever used erupted from within the werewolf¡¯s body. Kwakwagwa! Grumbling! Flames rising together with strong gusts of wind in the aftermath of the explosion. ¡°wow!¡± Sepia and Evelyn, who were watching the whole scene, let out an exclamation. This was because they clearly felt that the power used by Dio was the same as the power of the sun shown by Schuwald. ¡°Whoa¡­.¡± Success. In the skill description, it was written that ¡®width¡¯ could be used only after 5 stacks of the ¡®slash¡¯ skill were accumulated. However, the current Dio released the power of the sun without using the skill. This means that Schuwald was able to succeed even without the mark leading to the cutting of the ¡®width¡¯ that he was sure was the power of the sun. Tiring!

The appearance of this window probably means that you have successfully learned Schuwald¡¯s teachings. Item number 4 has been covered with a question mark. Item number 4, which I thought would be unlocked after using the width a thousand times, has only now been unlocked. ¡®I guess a thousand times is different. Anyway, I¡¯m glad¡­I was able to realize the power of the sun. uh? for a moment.¡¯ Dio frowned as he belatedly recognized condition number 4, which was only half filled. ¡®What is 1/2 again? ¡®What¡¯s left?¡¯ Does this mean that we have not yet fully understood the power of the sun? ¡®It¡¯s unfortunate, but there¡¯s nothing we can do¡­ I think it¡¯s only halfway filled.¡¯ Although Dio was somewhat disappointed, he decided to be satisfied with it for now. There is no doubt that this alone is a huge achievement compared to the past when there was no progress at all. Now I can clearly feel the power of the sun that Schuwald spoke about. In addition, an additional benefit was that the trustworthiness of Sepia, who was watching, increased. ¡®I guess they were worried that I wouldn¡¯t be able to awaken my power.¡¯ The moment Dio saw Sephia and Evelyn waving at him from a distance, he took his steps to approach them. ¡°K-heart!?¡± thud! Was it a side effect of suddenly releasing the power of the sun that had never been used? Dio felt pain as if someone was squeezing his heart, and he fell forward with blood pouring from his mouth. ¡°Dio!¡± ¡°What?Why is he like that!?¡± Sepia and Evelyn were startled and ran towards Dio. Dio slowly lost consciousness as he looked at the women worrying about him. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 55 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 55Episode 55 : A collapsing temple. In the center of the dust, a woman with brilliant silver hair prayed. ¡°Goddess, I offer myself.¡± When the woman opened her closed eyes, golden eyes as bright as the sunlight sparkled. ¡°Please send a hero in the future when this bondage returns.¡± * * * ¡°Heo-eok.¡± Dio woke up drenched in sweat. ¡°Dio!¡± ¡°Are you coming to your senses?¡± ¡°How long have I been lying down?¡± ¡°It took a full day and a half.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s question, Dio was only then able to see the dark outside through the window. ¡®¡­I didn¡¯t faint for that long.¡¯ When Dio came back to his senses, he seemed to have had an important dream, but he couldn¡¯t easily recall the blurred memories, so he massaged his throbbing head. ¡°Dio, are you okay? In response to Sepia¡¯s question, Dio was able to see Sephia looking at him with concern, and Schuwald with a happy expression on his face. ¡°Congratulations. You understand the power of the sun. But it was too much. You must learn to control your strength. Otherwise, your life will not be able to withstand the heat of the sun and will burn up.¡± ¡°Hehe¡­don¡¯t worry about that. Now that I know the principles, I am confident in building my skills.¡± Dio responded to Schuwald¡¯s words by massaging his sore shoulders. He wasn¡¯t confident for no reason. Dio¡¯s spirit of experimentation, which has continued since the Order Board era, was famous even among old people. ¡°Are you already thinking about running just because you started walking? ¡°Once again, the power of the sun is not something that even your extraordinary mind can easily understand.¡± Schuwald gave advice to Dio, who was recalling his experience on the order board again. ¡°¡­I¡¯ll keep that in mind.¡± After experiencing the fact that Schuwald¡¯s teachings were more helpful than Orderpan¡¯s knowledge in awakening the power of the sun, I could not ignore his words. However, the power of the sun is the power of the sun, and the system tells D.O. the path he should take, so he cannot completely rule out the idea. ¡°I will continue to listen carefully to Mr. Schuwald¡¯s teachings. However, as promised, I would like to hear about the past.¡± Schuwald¡¯s promise that if he realizes the power of the sun, he will tell him what happened a thousand years ago. The reason Dio ran so far was to find out the secret. ¡°Is it still not enough?¡± ¡°Huh, no. It¡¯s been proven well that you are the key. ah! I should first explain what the key is. That¡¯s right¡­¡± Dio, who felt like he could finally proceed with the quest after meeting Ludens, listened. However, Schuwald¡¯s expression suddenly changed as he suddenly stopped talking, and Dio, who noticed something strange, called Schuwald over. ¡°Elderly?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Schuwald did not say anything despite Dio¡¯s call and stood up as if he was being chased by something. ¡°Stay here. Roberto!¡± Schuwald spoke to Dio and Sephia who were sitting on the bed and then called Roberto. ¡°master? ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Schwalt! ¡°I used the essence of flame and applied it to shadow magic!¡± Eveline and Roberto, who were in the living room, each opened their mouths to Schuwald for different reasons. But Schuwald seemed to have no time to answer their questions. ¡°Everyone please stay inside the room.¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°hurry!¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Eveline and Roberto were startled by Schuwald¡¯s heightened voice, which they had never heard before. The moment they moved towards the room without saying anything more due to Schuwald¡¯s serious mood. There was a knocking sound that rang through the cabin. -thud. thud. ¡°Who is this late at night¡­? ¡°You didn¡¯t feel it coming?¡± Roberto could not help but be surprised by the uninvited visit. This was because even though I had sensitive senses, I had no idea that someone was approaching. How on earth did this uninvited guest come to this place located in the middle of Kalech Forest in the middle of the night? Questions about the uninvited guest filled Roberto¡¯s mind, but Schuwald¡¯s shout pushed them away. ¡°Avoid everyone!¡± Quang! With a thunderous sound, the door of the cabin flew away. It¡¯s not just the door. The entire wall of the cabin, including the door, collapsed, scattering debris. ¡°Aaaah!¡± ¡°What what?¡± Ibelin and Roberto were almost caught up in the aftermath that seemed to shake the entire cabin, but thanks to Schuwald who blocked their path, they were not seriously injured. ¡°Hahaha! ¡°I thought it was an empty cabin. Please excuse me.¡± Anyone can see that he is an uninvited guest who forced his way in, but shows up with a lot of jokes. Galletto, who was chasing rumors about Estellum, was able to discover a secret passage after hearing that Dio and his party had visited the old castle. He wandered for a while after passing the secret passage, but was able to find the cabin by following the suspicious energy felt throughout Kalekh Forest. ¡°Nice to meet you. My name is Galetto. ¡°Are you the owner of this place?¡± Galletto, who had a large physique, opened his mouth as he entered the cabin with the collapsed entrance. ¡®Galetto? ¡®How is that guy here?¡¯ Dio, who was watching the situation through a crack in the door, could not help but be surprised by the commotion that shook the entire building. Luna¡¯s five swords, Galeto Houndstooth. Unlike other Heresy Questioners, he was not a person who was very passionate about punishing heretics. Maybe that¡¯s why, even though he belonged to Luna, his religious beliefs were not that high. Galeto, known as a battle fanatic or Gwonseong, believed in his fists more than his god Luna. ¡®The reason Galleto became an Inquisitor was because he wanted to fight against strong people called heretics.¡¯ Dio recalled information about Galletto and began to think about why he appeared here. The person Luna is pursuing, Monte, is not strong enough to interest Galletto. The level of strength shown to them would only be at the level of an A-class mercenary¡­ ¡°What are you doing, bastard?¡± Dio came to his senses when he heard Evelyn¡¯s angry voice. This is dangerous. Galletto¡¯s visit is not expected to be kind. This is not an enemy that Dio¡¯s group can do anything about right now. ¡°Roberto. ¡°Please stay in the room with Evelyn.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Come on!¡± Fortunately, Dio was not the only one who noticed Galletto¡¯s strength, and Schuwald stopped Evelyn who was about to step forward and walked forward. ¡°What brings a foreigner here? As you can see, I am an herbalist. ¡°If you need any herbs, come back tomorrow.¡± sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Schuwald said, pointing to a large pile of herbs on one side of the messy cabin. ¡°Hahaha!¡± Galletto laughed heartily, wondering what was so funny about Schuwald¡¯s words. ¡°okay. Herbalist inspiration. Unfortunately, you don¡¯t need any herbs. ¡°I¡¯m just looking for someone.¡± Galetto cracked his knuckles and said, Dio¡¯s heart sank at his words. ¡°But¡­I feel a strange energy here. ¡°Not only from you, but also from those hiding kids.¡± ¡®this.¡¯ Dio gritted his teeth at the fact that Galletto had already noticed his and Sepia¡¯s presence hidden in the room. Since it seems difficult to avoid friction with the opponent, there is no choice but to fight. Dio braced himself, expecting Galetto to attack him. But for some reason, Galletto¡¯s gaze turned to Schuwald again. ¡°But I¡¯m not interested in little kids. ¡°There¡¯s something even more amazing right in front of you, but you can¡¯t look away.¡± Pot! The new model of Galletto approached Schuwald in an instant. ¡°Tsk!¡± Schuwald was unable to avoid Galetto¡¯s outstretched arm due to his incredible speed that did not match his huge body. Galletto, holding Schuwald by the neck and lifting him up, uttered meaningful words. ¡°Hahaha! Old man. ¡°Did you think that if you imitated someone, I would pretend not to know you?¡± ¡°How dare you, an insignificant human!¡± Roberto, enraged at the sight of Schuwald being captured, fearlessly rushed at Galletto. However, there was no way that Galletto, who had the strength and speed that even Schuwald could not react to, could be defeated by a vampire who only had good sense. puck! ¡°Gagging!¡± Quang! Roberto was thrown into the fireplace by Galletto¡¯s light kick. ¡°You are later.¡± Galletto muttered, leaving behind Roberto, who seemed to have lost his mind. ¡°Damn you! ¡°You can¡¯t let go of Mr. Schuwald right now!?¡± Evelyn, unable to see, stepped forward and waved her staff to move the shadows around her. ¡°Shadow Arrow!¡± Liquid ¨C A shadow that took the shape of an arrow was quickly shot towards Galeto. Pop! However, Galletto raised his arm and easily caught the shadow arrow. Pajijik ¨C The shadow arrow held in Galeto¡¯s hand evaporated in an instant with black smoke rising. Evelyn shouted in disbelief. ¡°That¡¯s ridiculous!¡± ¡°Vampires and witches¡­ I didn¡¯t want to do all that trouble after coming here. hmm?¡± Galletto, who had figured out the identity of Eveline and Roberto at once, opened his eyes round at the energy emitted by Schuwald, who was holding him. Suddenly- ¡°Oh? okay. ¡°You have to do at least this much.¡± Galletto smiled as if he knew it would happen at Schuwald¡¯s force pushing his fingers away. ¡°Keuuuuuuuu!¡± As Schuwald¡¯s strength gradually increased, Galetto¡¯s grip on his neck loosened. However, Galletto was not the type to just watch Schuwald trying to escape from his grasp. Took! Galletto grabbed Schuwald¡¯s upper body with his free hand and threw him away. Quang! ¡°Cough!¡± Schuwald collapsed the wall of the main room where Dio and Sepia were hiding and rolled on the floor. ¡°Schwalt!¡± Sephia shouted in surprise at Schuwald, who was coughing up blood, possibly due to the strong shock. ¡°One strength is fine.¡± Galletto turned his wrist, which had been grabbed by Schuwald, and slowly stepped forward. ¡°D.I.O. Let¡¯s escape together with everyone. ¡°I will stop it as much as I can.¡± Schuwald stood up from his seat to face the approaching Galetto and spoke hurriedly. ¡°Are you okay alone?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. ¡°Even though I¡¯m old, I won¡¯t be defeated easily.¡± Schuwald said as if telling Dio not to worry. ¡°Hurry up and move.¡± ¡°But¡­!¡± Schuwald smiled kindly as if to reassure Sepia, who was full of worries, and walked in front of Galletto, who was waiting for him. ¡°Haha, are you planning on doing it right?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this old man what you want? ¡°Just let the kids go.¡± ¡°Sir, is that your last wish? There¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t do if it makes me happy. Hahaha!¡± Galeto, very excited, rushed forward, clapping his fists together. Quang! A clash between two beings without any exploration. The huge wave of power between the two spread out in all directions. ¡°Let¡¯s do as the old man said and get out of the way! Evelyn! ¡°Bring Roberto!¡± ¡°What about Mr. Schuwald?¡± ¡°Get out of here and think!¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Evelyn lifted up the unconscious Roberto with magic, and they quickly left the half-collapsed cabin. Quagwagwagwang! As Galletto and Schuwald¡¯s fists clashed violently, a loud noise, like a bomb exploding, echoed around the area. ¡°Who on earth is that author?¡± ¡°Galetto. ¡°It¡¯s one of Luna¡¯s five swords.¡± ¡°Are those people like that chasing us?¡± Sephia thought that the power that Schuwald had shown so far was enormous. Didn¡¯t the restrained and hot power of the sun he showed truly show tremendous power? However, Sepia¡¯s expression hardened as she saw Galletto pushing Schuwald on an equal footing, even more so than him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Sepia! ¡°Schwalt will take care of those Luna guys!¡± Even though she saw Galetto¡¯s power right in front of her eyes, Evelyn spoke to Sepia with strong faith. But Dio differed from Evelyn¡¯s thoughts. ¡®Schwalt is pushed. Definitely pushed. ¡®I never thought the difference in power would be this big.¡¯ It wasn¡¯t that Dio thought Schuwald¡¯s strength was weak. However, considering the Witch of Balance, a member of the Seven Stars, it is true that Schuwald, who is currently struggling with Galletto, appears weak. Quang! Schwald fell to the floor despite blocking Galletto¡¯s punch. ¡°Dangerous! ¡°We have to help!¡± ¡°no. ¡°If you go, you will die.¡± Eveline threw away the unconscious Roberto and tried to run away, but Dio caught her. ¡°Are you sure we should run away by ourselves? ¡°Let go of this!¡± The immature Evelyn grabbed the hem of her clothes and struggled to get away from Dio, who would not let her go. Unlike Evelyn, Sephia could not easily say that she wanted to help Schuwald. Sepia is smart. However, Sepia knows that Dio is a much smarter and more thorough person than she is. From what I¡¯ve seen so far, Dio doesn¡¯t blindly engage in battles he has no chance of winning. The most appropriate decision in the current situation would be for everyone to run away as Schuwald said while buying time. I thought for sure he would¡­ ¡°You guys stay here. I¡¯m coming.¡± Sepia¡¯s eyes widened at Dio¡¯s words. Is he driven by emotion and trying to save Schuwald, who was a good teacher? Sephia was suspicious when Dio told her why he saved her. However, even though I realized that he only wanted to grow and trusted and followed him¡­ I couldn¡¯t help but have doubts about his suspicious intentions in my heart. ¡®No, don¡¯t doubt it. As for what he does¡­.¡¯ Sepia bit her lip as she looked at Dio¡¯s back as he approached Galetto. ¡®Because there¡¯s a reason for everything.¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 56 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 56Episode 56 ¡°It¡¯s an old man. One body is strong. What is it? ¡°Since I have vampire minions, am I still a vampire?¡± Galletto opened his mouth, looking down at Schuwald, who was lying on the floor and struggling to hold on to his feet. ¡°It¡¯s strange¡­ This can¡¯t be all the energy I feel, but the steam has leaked out. ¡°Young man.¡± ¡°Ugh-¡± Galletto liked fighting, but he was not a murderer. This is because there are strong people who come back stronger after overcoming defeat. However, he felt a sense of responsibility in killing the heretic in front of him who was not human and used a light that was significantly different from Luna¡¯s power. ¡°No matter how professional I am, I can¡¯t just let go of the heretic¡­ no, not a human being right in front of me.¡± The moment when Galletto raised his fist and was about to finish. ¡°hey!¡± Galletto turned his head when he heard someone calling him. ¡°Would you like to play with me?¡± ¡°Huh¡­¡± Dio said as he pulled out the sword from his waist and checked the condition of the blade. Galetto lowered his fist as if in despair. ¡°Kid. ¡°It¡¯s still your turn.¡± Galeto had already noticed the unfamiliar power coming from Dio, but he was not very interested. It could have been a person named Monte, who was wanted by the Luna Church, but the most important thing for Galetto was fighting the strong. ¡°why? Are you afraid that I¡¯m not enough? ¡°Why don¡¯t you test it out?¡± ¡°Ha haha¡­hahaha!¡± At Dio¡¯s bold words, Galletto laughed heartily as if his suffocating feelings were relieved. ¡°okay. If you¡¯re a man, you should hit it once! I like it.¡± ¡°No¡­ run away¡­¡± Galleto tried to walk towards Dio, but Schwald, who had fallen, grabbed Galleto¡¯s feet with difficulty. ¡°Young Master. ¡°It will be over soon, so just rest over there.¡± Pow! Quagwagwagwang! Galletto kicked Schuwald, and Schuwald, unable to resist, fell into the completely collapsed remains of the cabin. ¡°¡­.¡± Despite his rough actions, Dio did not move easily. Galeto¡¯s Galeto is one of the five swords called ¡®the strongest among humans¡¯. Dio is well aware of his strength. There is already a huge gap in skills, but if you get excited, you will not be able to do anything and will suffer. ¡°Whoa¡­¡± Dio took a deep breath and aimed his sword at Galeto. ¡°good. Show your skills. ¡°I will deal with you at your level.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great news.¡± Dio grinned and then made a move to make a surprise attack. ¡®Of course this is a trick.¡¯ Dio stopped trying to run out with his sword and quickly threw several daggers out of his arms. The daggers were fired in all directions of Galletto¡¯s body. Shake- ¡°You¡¯re cute.¡± Galetto, who was snorting as he watched the flying dagger, lightly raised his hand. Bababababaak! Despite being fired all over the place, not a single dagger could hit Galetto and was blocked by his hand and stuck on the floor. ¡°Now is it my turn?¡± Galletto laughed, thinking that Dio was reluctant to engage in close combat with him. I think my brain works pretty well, but if I don¡¯t have enough strength, my brain suffers. The moment Galletto laughs at Dio and walks away, thinking that he will show the overwhelming power gap. Uuuuung- ¡°Hmm?¡± Galeto noticed that the daggers he had struck out and stuck on the ground were emitting light. But even if he noticed, it was too late to react. Quagwagwang! When Dio¡¯s skill, which leads to ¡®Explosive¡¯ at any time even without using the cutting skill, was activated, a huge explosion engulfed Galeto. But Dio didn¡¯t think he could harm Galletto with just this. Dio, who made his way through the dusty battlefield, quickly approached Galetto. However, Galeto¡¯s fist, already aware of Dio¡¯s approach, struck him. Quang! Are you aware of the approach? Dio, who had already predicted this far, dodged Galletto¡¯s outstretched fist. If the difference in level is doubled, you only need to look two moves ahead. If the difference is three or four times the difference, you only need to look ahead to that number. That is the talent of the deceased who survived the extremely difficult order board. Dio¡¯s sword swung towards Galeto¡¯s thick neck. Let¡¯s go! However, Dio¡¯s Silver Arming Sword could not cut off Galetto¡¯s head. No, on the contrary, only a horrifying metallic sound rang out, as if Galetto¡¯s neck was made of thick steel. ¡°Hahaha! ¡°There is no such thing as a rat!¡± Galetto was probably curious as to why Dio, who was not very fast, was moving ahead of him. But Galletto just laughed excitedly, as if this moment was fun. ¡°Even so, it¡¯s just a leftover trick!¡± To catch Dio, Galletto swung his arms wide. However, what he touched was not Dio, but a pocket full of something. phut! The pouch that received Galetto¡¯s power burst in his hand. ¡°What is this?¡± Galetto frowned as he saw the black liquid flowing down his hand. ¡°Is this all?¡± ¡°No way.¡± Dio quickly widened the distance and activated the attack. Burbububbung! The mark engraved on the oil pocket exploded, creating a stronger explosion. The power of the activated blast caused an explosion several times larger than before. As a result, it seemed as if a huge flame was engulfing Galletto. The contents of the pocket Dio threw were none other than an oil pocket. Unlike regular oil, it is a historical consumable item specially made by wizards to cause a greater combustion reaction. Grrrr ¨C The oil coated in Galeto touched the explosion and caused a fierce fire, and Dio kicked the ground to get even further away. Thump- ¡°Huh?¡± A thick arm resembling an old tree came out from the fire and grabbed Dio¡¯s ankle. Dio was unable to avoid Galeto¡¯s outstretched hand despite the continued chain of explosions. No matter how much you anticipate the future, there are gaps that cannot be filled. ¡°Hahaha! fun! ¡°This is my first time in this kind of fight!¡± When Galletto swung the arm holding Dio, the fierce flames were silenced for an instant. Quang! ¡°Cough!¡± Dio was thrown out and rolled on the floor several times. ¡°Hey kid. Now that you have adjusted your strength, please please me once again.¡± Galletto, who was not paying attention to the surrounding area that had become a sea of fire due to Dio¡¯s attack, spoke to Dio, who had fallen on the floor. It seemed like the flames had no effect on Galetto. ¡®Tsk, my ankle was shattered and my ribs were damaged a few times.¡¯ Dio clicked his tongue as he saw through the system window that his physical strength had been reduced by more than half. But we can¡¯t stop here. A fight that cannot be won. Nevertheless, the reason Dio keeps happening is precisely because of Galletto¡¯s personality. During the Order Board era, Galeto was an NPC that players had a lot of likes and dislikes about. In the main story, the player basically had no choice but to establish a friendly relationship with the Luna Church. So unless the player is hostile to him first, there is usually no need to fight the Inquisitor, especially the Five Swords. But Galletto was different. Galeto is a battle enthusiast who gets itchy to fight whenever he sees strong people. Picking a fight with a player you met for the first time because it was unusual was an event that inevitably occurred in relation to that. ¡®It¡¯s not a bother if it¡¯s just the first time.¡¯ The moment I became friends with Galeto, he was an NPC who would always fight the player whenever he encountered him. Galletto was very interested in seeing players become stronger at a rapid rate. There were times when players were so dissatisfied with an extremely strong NPC that they would start a fight whenever they made eye contact, so much so that they took to the server bulletin board. Anyway, one thing to know here. Ultimately, Galeto only fights with the player and never kills them. He doesn¡¯t kill, he just enjoys fighting, and is willing to spare any enemy who shows the potential to become stronger in the future. Especially if you are a player who can grow infinitely. ¡®I have no choice but to show it here.¡¯ That¡¯s why Dio wants to fight Galleto. He assured that if he showed Galletto his potential, he would definitely resign. ¡°Hmm.¡± Dio stood up using his sword as a crutch and caught his breath. I succeeded in arousing Galletto¡¯s interest with the battle just now, but it is still not enough. In the end, it didn¡¯t do him any harm. ¡®I need one powerful blow. It could cause damage to Galeto¡­¡¯ Dio endured the pain from his broken ankle and raised his sword. Schuwald¡¯s teachings to erase distracting thoughts and feel the natural power of the sun. Dio concentrated entirely on feeling the power of the sun. However, this is not the time zone when you can fully feel the light of the sun. The night sky with a round moon rising. The moonlight reflected from the sun was a power that Dio could never utilize. But¡­. ¡®Absorption.¡¯ If you cannot receive the light produced by the sun, you can absorb the light produced by nature. Dio felt the surrounding area becoming a sea of fire due to the explosion. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The blazing flames feel infinitely warm. Dio ¡¯s body began to tremble. Schuwald¡¯s warning that excessive use of force can cost one¡¯s life. But Dio couldn¡¯t stop here. Drooling ¨C Bright red blood flowing from the nose and mouth. Whoosh ¨C the flame that had stuck to the oil and showed no signs of going out slowly began to die down. Galletto was willing to wait for the strange phenomenon. ¡°Okay¡­show me all your skills!¡± Dio was secretly grateful to Galeto, who stretched out his arms and shouted excitedly. ¡®A little more¡­ deeper and stronger than what I felt back then!¡¯ Paaaaat! The moment when the invisible power of the sun converges on Dio. [NEW] [Solar Blade] System notification sound indicating that skill evolution was successful by satisfying all conditions. Nevertheless, Dio did not use the skill using the system. He created it while recalling Schuwald¡¯s teachings once again. A new power achieved in this world solely through one¡¯s own strength¡­ ¡°Haaaaap!¡± released. Kwagwagwagwa! A dazzling white flash that even moonlight could not compete with shot out from the tip of Dio¡¯s sword. Tukwagwagwagwa! A strong wind created by the flash swept the surrounding area, and the light from the sun caused a strong explosion. Fuuuuuuuuuuck! * * * ¡°Gagging, coughing.¡± A force so great that it shakes the ground. Perhaps because of the recoil, Dio shot out more and more blood. thud! ¡®Damn, I lost so much blood.¡¯ But you can¡¯t lose your mind here. Dio raised his head with difficulty and looked at Galetto, who had caught the flash of light with his entire body. It was definitely a hit. Cheeeeeeeek ¨C Galeto can be seen using both arms as shields to withstand the flash of light. His skin was red, as if he had been burned, proving that he had suffered some damage. ¡®Sheesh, it¡¯s a lot better than I thought. Still, if it¡¯s like this¡­.¡¯ Galletto, with his arms down, walked slowly and approached Dio. Dio expected that the Galetto he knew would definitely smile brightly and extend his hand to ask if it was okay. But¡­ ¡°¡­it¡¯s dangerous.¡± Dio sensed that something was wrong as Galletto¡¯s bright and cheerful expression was gone and he only had a sad expression. ¡°It¡¯s a shame¡­he¡¯s going to be big later.¡± It¡¯s quite different from Galletto¡¯s reaction on the order board. Only then did Dio realize his mistake. Among the information Dio knows about Galleto, there is nothing about his attitude regarding the Forgotten God. Even if he has a different personality from other Heretic Questioners. I should have thought twice about showing mercy to those who serve the sun. ¡®Damn it¡­you¡¯re not going to let me live.¡¯ Still, looking at Galetto¡¯s hesitation, Dio didn¡¯t make a very wrong decision. However, afterward, Galleto¡¯s firm resolve was like that of an executioner to Dio. ¡®Galetto is hesitating. How do I move and get out of my seat¡­¡¯ Looking at Galetto¡¯s regretful expression and hesitant steps, Dio confirmed that he was torn between the order of the church and his own greed. Galeto in this state would certainly not pursue it with all his heart. ¡®Pfft!¡¯ But there was too much blood. There is no sound place on the whole body. I was so disoriented that it gave the illusion that the blood everywhere was moving on its own. No wait. Am I mistaken? Why does the blood go up the slope instead of down? ¡®Is it Roberto¡¯s doing?¡¯ Dio, who thought it was blood magic, thought of Roberto, but he must have collapsed. then? Dio and Galletto looked at the direction the blood was heading at the same time. Thump-thump-thump- ¡°¡­.¡± The remains of the cabin shook, and the human being buried beneath them woke up. The moon that rose in a circle seemed to exist just for him. Schuwald Eindhauer. Dio¡¯s blood was sucked into his body like it was dancing. Cugung- Cugung- Schuwald¡¯s heart begins to beat rapidly. Tsusssss ¨C Cugung Cugung Cugung Dio¡¯s blood that calmed Schuwald¡¯s madness. But now something was strange. For it to be used as a sedative¡­it seemed like Dio¡¯s blood was being added to Schuwald more than necessary. A thousand years. An entity that has been fighting its own madness every night when the full moon rises for a thousand years. Thump- thump-thud- Schwalt¡¯s muscles twitched strangely. Not only was his body reorganized, but the hundreds and thousands of bones and muscle bundles that made up his body also changed. Coughing ¨C Schuwald¡¯s appearance begins to change, starting with the old man¡¯s face. His long, stretched out snout. Black fur sprouting from a huge body. Muscles that feel like they¡¯re about to burst, and even fingernails and toenails that can cut off anything. and. ¡°Krrrrr¡­.¡± The sound of an animal crying. The identity of Schuwald, who was thought to be a vampire lord. The lycanthrope¡¯s madness that has been suppressed so far¡­ -Awwwwww! It echoed under the night of the full moon.

Estellum has a long legend. A story about the true owner sleeping in this land cursed by ghosts. The night when the full moon rises. Don¡¯t leave the house. The night when the full moon rises. Never go to Kalech Forest. When the owner of the forest wakes up, the beasts of the forest will worship him. * * * Schuwald, who had been beaten by Galletto, barely kept his eyes open and watched Dio¡¯s fierce battle. The key that the seven stars were waiting for. He seemed to have realized the true power of the sun and was making some good progress, but his opponent was too strong. If this continues, not only the key but also the ¡®chosen one¡¯ will be lost to Luna. Schuwald had to choose. I can¡¯t beat Galetto with my current self. The only way to confront him was to show off his madness while drunk on the full moon. However, if that happened, Dio¡¯s group could also be dangerous, so he tried to keep them away¡­ Is it because he is not trustworthy, or is it because of his kind heart that he cannot leave him behind? They didn¡¯t leave themselves behind. Schuwald thought as he looked at the puddle of blood created by Dio¡¯s blood. As Roberto recognized at a glance, Dio¡¯s blood was special from others. His blood, which contained a stronger energy than sepia, quenched Schuwald¡¯s thirst more effectively than other blood. The first time he tasted Dio¡¯s blood, Schuwald was convinced. If you drink too much of his blood, it becomes poisonous. but. ¡®We can¡¯t lose our children here.¡¯ Schwald decided to use Dio¡¯s special blood to awaken the madness he had suppressed for many years. please. Hoping that there was even a little bit of reason left in him. * * * Awoouuuu ¨C The howl of the wolf spread throughout Kalech Forest. Everyone sensed that the owner of the forest had awakened. Their resonance was like worshiping a legendary master. Doo doo doo doo ¨C The resonance ended and the ground began to rumble. -Krrrrr¡­ -Kkkkkkkk! Dozens and hundreds of werewolves emerged from the forest, stained with madness. ¡°ha ha ha! okay! good!¡± As he watched the werewolves running at him without stopping, Galetto couldn¡¯t hide his excitement and took a stance. Plop! Kwasik- Boom! Dozens of werewolves surrounded Galeto and attacked at once, but they were blown away like leaves by Galeto¡¯s swinging fist. ¡°Hahaha! Everyone, come at us!¡± The number of werewolves killed instantly by Galeto¡¯s blow piled up, but the number of charging werewolves showed no sign of decreasing. ¡®oh my god. Wasn¡¯t he a vampire lord? A werewolf? ¡®This is dangerous.¡¯ Dio swallowed his saliva as he saw the werewolves charging not only at Galleto but also at him. The madness that Schuwald himself spoke of. Seeing how it affected all the werewolves in Kalech Forest, Dio understood why he tried so hard not to fall into madness. ¡°Kyaarrrr!¡± The moment when a werewolf lunges at Dio, who was seriously injured in a fight with Galleto. Suddenly! A blade made of shadow cut off the werewolf¡¯s neck in one go. ¡°hey! Wake!¡± ¡°Eveline?¡± Evelyn, who used shadow stealth to help Dio, took advantage of the opportunity when Galeto focused all the werewolves¡¯ attention. ¡°Luckily, they don¡¯t seem to have detected my shadow stealth.¡± ¡°What about the other kids?¡± ¡°I also put a hiding spell on Sepia and Roberto. ¡°But what happened to Mr. Schuwald?¡± ¡°I think he went crazy because of my blood.¡± Coo! ¡°omg?¡± A werewolf violently fell in front of Dio and Evelyn who were hiding. Evelyn realized that a very excited Galletto was running wild nearby and quickly moved with Dio. Plop! Quagwang! Pop! ¡°Hahaha! There is no end in sight! then!¡± Quaaaaang¡ª! Galletto¡¯s feet hit the ground hard. A crater appeared in the wide open space, and at the same time, a wave formed around it, instantly breaking the balance of the werewolves who were rushing towards it. ¡°Ha!¡± Galetto shouted and stretched out his fist toward the cracked floor. Kwagwagwagwa! The power concentrated in Galeto¡¯s fist tangled with each other and swept away the rampaging werewolves. ¡°Whoa¡­it¡¯s a bit quieter now.¡± As if he had just exercised lightly, Galetto shook his palms and looked around. Although his faith in Luna may be low, the blessings he received from Luna as an Inquisitor cannot be ignored. Galeto¡¯s shockwave containing Luna¡¯s power destroyed the charging werewolves without a trace. Except for one. Creepy ¨C Galletto stopped shaking his hands at the sudden creepy feeling that came over him. All werewolves in sight were dealt with. Luna¡¯s power is fatal to demonic beasts such as werewolves. Much less a werewolf who could withstand the light of Luna used by a strong man like Galetto¡­ ¡°Krrrrrrr-¡± * * * Boom. thud. thud. Galetto wasn¡¯t sure whether the heartbeat he was hearing was coming from himself or from another living being. However, there is only one thing he can know. A smile appeared on Galetto¡¯s face, which had been stiff for a moment . ¡°Hehehe¡­.¡± How long has it been since my heart pounded? No, this was my first time experiencing something this exciting. A fight that requires your life. Galletto felt that the moment he had longed for had arrived. Hot ¨C Galletto¡¯s instincts are speaking. If you don¡¯t go all out from the beginning, you¡¯ll get hit first. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of an aura even more powerful than the power that extinguished countless werewolves in one blow enveloped Galeto¡¯s body. The blue moonlight energy surrounding my body became more concentrated and the color became more and more vivid. And then. Took! Galetto released the power concentrated in his feet. The speed of Galeto, which emits electric power, was comparable to the speed of sound. He turned around and stretched out his fist with all his might. Quagwagwagwang! Kwon Seong¡¯s fist is nothing more than a simple punch. It created a strong shock wave and a loud noise like a shell exploding. ¡°Krrrrr-¡± ¡°!!¡± Galeto¡¯s eyes widened as he saw the beast¡¯s hand blocking his fist through the dust generated by the shock wave. Red eyes full of madness. He seemed to be about 3 meters tall. Lycanthrope Schuwald pushed away Galetto¡¯s fist with sincerity and slowly tilted his head. No, on the contrary, it was scratching Galetto¡¯s hand with its large hand and the claws at the end. ¡®Immense power!¡¯ Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh ¨C Galetto ¡®s expression was filled with joy as he saw Schwald pushing him away with pure force. Yes this is it. Looking back on the tension-free fights of the past, Galletto has yet to meet an opponent worthy of risking his life. ¡°Hahaha! okay! This is it! Until the end¡­¡± Galletto¡¯s words , full of joy, could not continue. Schuwald¡¯s madness was due to his inability to sympathize with Galletto¡¯s personality, which had warlike tendencies. ¡°Huh-¡± Schuwald¡¯s huge hand stuck in Galletto¡¯s side. At this, Galletto stopped breathing for a moment. Quang! Galletto¡¯s body, pushed by Schuwald¡¯s arm, flew into the distance. A straight line made of blood was added to the snowy field. ¡°Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Galeto, who had rolled on the floor dozens of times, put his hands on the ground to keep his body upright. Quadded Deuk- Then he was able to stop after he was pushed back. ¡°You¡¯re so excited. Because this is my first time seeing a monster like you. Haha-¡± Paaaaang¡ª!! Before Galletto could finish laughing, Schuwald¡¯s knee hit his face. The distance that had grown considerably narrowed in an instant, taking less than a second. ¡°Sigh!¡± However, Galletto, who had calmed down his excitement, did not allow this attack. Galetto blocked Schuwald¡¯s knee by crossing his arms. As if he had not ascended to the position of Heretic Inquisitor just because he was a fighting fanatic, he calmed down his heightened emotions and prepared for Schuwald¡¯s next attack. Babababababaat! Schuwald also attacked in earnest, not caring that his attack was blocked. ¡°Ugh!¡± Tou doo doo doo ¨C Galleto dodged Schuwald¡¯s sharp claws and hit his arms and legs with his fists. Close combat is Galletto¡¯s specialty. True to his nickname Kwon Seong, Galletto looked for an opportunity by dodging Schuwald¡¯s attack. Pabababak! ¡°now!¡± Clearly, Schuwald¡¯s killing ability was superior to Galletto¡¯s. However, perhaps because he had lost his senses, Schwald¡¯s movements had many unnecessary movements, and Galletto, aiming for them, burrowed into him. ¡°Ha!¡± Oooh- Galeto ¡®s whole body, imbued with the blessings of moonlight, began to glow. Burning ¨C Galletto¡¯s arm muscles that felt like they were about to burst tightly grabbed Schuwald¡¯s waist. In that state, when Galletto leaned back and applied force, Schwald fell backwards and fell headfirst to the ground. Quang! ¡°Hahaha! How do you feel? Huh?¡± Galletto, who succeeded in flipping, shouted triumphantly. But even for a moment. ¡°Koooooo!¡± Schuwald¡¯s feet, which had been flipped over, were back on the ground and as he lifted his upper body, Galletto, who was holding him, was lifted back up. ¡°shit.¡± bang! Schuwald grabbed Galletto¡¯s legs and slammed him to the ground. ¡°Ugh!¡± Galetto groaned in pain as if his back would break. Even though they received the same attack, the accumulated damage was clearly different. ¡®It¡¯s a fight where hitting and getting hurt is a loss! ¡®This can¡¯t go on, right?¡¯ Galeto recalled the battles he had fought so far. He preferred to exchange fists without thinking too much. But now we can never win with such ignorant methods. Swish ¨C Galletto rolled to the side to avoid Schuwald¡¯s continued feet. Kwaaaaang! Schuwald¡¯s feet broke the ground. Galeto, who barely managed to avoid it, jumped high into the sky, giving strength to his arms that were on the ground. ¡°Gale (¼²ïL).¡± Whirring whirring ¨C the wind rushing through Galeto¡¯s entire body. The wind was so strong that even Schuwald, who was overcome with madness, hesitated. A person as strong as Galetto can handle the fortune energy of nature. The power of nature added to Luna¡¯s power is the strongest attack that Galetto can make. ¡°Thunderstrike.¡± Flash! A huge electric current, as if lightning was released, was contained in Galetto¡¯s fist, and the fist hit Schuwald¡¯s temple. Quagwagwang! ¡°Coooooo!¡± The impact to the head must have been effective, as Schwald¡¯s posture collapsed and one knee hit the ground. ¡°Hwaaaap!¡± Burbubbubbuk! Galletto¡¯s powerful fist hit Schuwald¡¯s upper body several times. Gripping ¨C A spark that occurs every time Galetto¡¯s fist is extended. As the attack continued, the intensity of the current gradually increased. Quagwagwang! A strange phenomenon occurred in which a huge thunderbolt, from which no one could understand where it came from, struck Schuwald. Schwak- ¡°Huh, huh, huh.¡± Galeto gasped at the repeated, sincere blows. But was that the problem? He confirmed that his opponent was clearly suffering from his attacks. His attack stopped with the complacent thought that this would have been enough damage. In that split second, the black beast with red eyes swung its arms. bang! ¡°Cough!¡± A thought suddenly passed through Galletto¡¯s mind as Schuwald¡¯s fist struck the same spot in his side where he was first hit. ¡®This guy¡­ has he completely lost his mind¡­?¡¯ If you were consumed by madness and had no thoughts, wouldn¡¯t you have been able to attack aimed at wounding? Or is it just a coincidence? Quack! ¡°Ugh!¡± Schuwald¡¯s huge mouth bit Galletto¡¯s shoulder, and Galletto put away his thoughts at the pain and hurriedly punched Schuwald in the eye. Bang! Bang! Bang! ¡°Okay, let¡¯s do it!¡± ¡°Krrrrrr-¡± Only after Galetto struck Schuwald in the eyes several times was the treacherous being able to escape from its muzzle. ¡°Huh¡­¡± Galletto looked at Schuwald, who was shaking his head while covering his bleeding shoulder with his hand. This guy is a monster. Stronger than any opponent I¡¯ve ever faced. So are you afraid? No, it¡¯s fun. ¡°It¡¯s so crazy fun hahahaha!¡± ¡°Krrr¡­.¡± Galleto had expected that if he had a place to live, it would probably be in the harsh northern lands. But Galletto never thinks that his last day is today. I can¡¯t close my eyes and leave that monster behind. I will definitely defeat that monster and win¡­. Damn ¨C The more he got injured, the more his fighting spirit burned. However, Schuwald, who seemed to have no intention of getting along with him, swung his nails into his chest. ¡°Wow¡­¡± Although Galetto had a fully formed body as Kwon Seong, he stumbled due to the huge wound across his chest. Puuuk- Quaaaaang! Galetto, hit by Schuwald¡¯s merciless kick, once again flew far away and fell into the rubble of the cabin. -Coooooooo! Are you sure of victory? Schuwald looked up at the brightly shining moon and cried. The owner of Kalech Forest is still lacking. This madness that can never be stopped is still hungry. Pop. Schuwald stopped crying and lowered his head. And in his field of vision¡­ the back of Dio and his group running away from this fight came into view. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 58 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 58Episode 58 : Thanks to Evelyn¡¯s magic, Dio and his party were able to avoid most of the werewolves that came after Schwalt went on a rampage. They watched the fight between Schuwald and Galletto from a considerable distance away. ¡®That¡¯s the true power of the seven stars!¡¯ Dio was impressed by Schuwald¡¯s strength, which seemed like Galletto could hold out for a moment, but then completely subdued him. Even compared to the beings of the pentagram who knew Dio¡¯s strength in detail, Schuwald¡¯s power was at the top level. There is nothing better than being an ally who can produce this much power. But unfortunately, Schuwald does not fall into that category. ¡®I understand why the penalty for reckless driving exists. Dangerous.¡¯ Heresy Inquisitor Galeto threatened Dio. And the runaway Schuwald overwhelms him. This means that in the current situation, it is not a good thing for Galletto to collapse. Fortunately, Galletto was able to deal with Schuwald, who was running away. But now there is no one who can stop his madness. ¡°Master¡­¡± Roberto, who came to his senses with the help of Eveline and Sepia, looked devastated as he looked at Schuwald drunk on the full moon. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio said, grabbing Roberto by the collar. ¡°Wake! You are the master you serve, right? ¡°Is there no way?¡± ¡°This is my first time seeing my master run wild. ¡°If he had run away while I was there, I wouldn¡¯t be alive.¡± ¡°Hee hee! ¡°They¡¯re watching us!¡± ¡°What should I do? ¡°Can we run away?¡± The party initially tried to get as far away from Schuwald as possible, but they realized that this was of little use. The speed he showed when he faced Galletto. Once Schuwald started pursuing him, it was only a matter of time before Dio and his group caught up. Then there is only one way for them to live. ¡®Schwalt¡¯s madness must be put to rest.¡¯ Dio calmly began to reconsider Schuwald¡¯s condition. ¡®Schwald used my blood to go on a rampage himself. I guess he decided it was better than being bullied by Galletto.¡¯ Schuwald knows better than anyone else that if he goes out of control, his colleagues around him will be in danger. If you think about why Schwald, who hates harming others, made this choice¡­ ¡°Huh? ¡°Hey, Mr. Schuwald is strange!¡± When Evelyn shouted, everyone, including Dio, looked at Schuwald. Schuwald, who was drooling and looked like he was going to attack me at any moment, was holding his head in pain for some reason. -Kaaaa! Schuwald¡¯s frantic cries rang out as he ripped out his own fur. ¡®Are you really fighting to regain your senses?¡¯ Dio thought of one possibility. Schuwald clearly showed his power to overwhelm Galletto, but he was not unharmed. Before he went on a rampage, he had already been completely devastated by Galleto. Moreover, even when going out of control, Galletto¡¯s attack was not weak enough for Schuwald to ignore. ¡®The reason Schwald¡¯s madness appears to have weakened may be because Galletto dealt a blow.¡¯ The easiest way to subdue madness is to subdue your opponent. If that is not possible, there is a way to bring them to their senses by inflicting fatal damage. ¡®I have to do it now.¡¯ Perhaps Schwald¡¯s madness was weakened by Galletto. ¡®But¡­¡¯ Dio checked the condition of his broken ankle. Although the potion was used, he was not fully recovered, perhaps because he had lost a lot of blood. It wasn¡¯t just the ankle. Dio¡¯s whole body was screaming. Dio swallowed his sleep. ¡®Anyway, if we can¡¯t stop Schuwald here, it¡¯s all over.¡¯ Dio was worried that his attack, which did not work on Galletto, would work on Schuwald, but decided to give it a try. Jerbeok- ¡°What are you going to do?¡± As Dio drew his sword and stepped forward, Sephia caught him. ¡°I have to find it. ¡°The Schuwald we knew.¡± Everyone in the room noticed what Dio was planning to do. ¡°¡­Then I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°me too!¡± Evelyn followed Sephia and spoke. ¡°Are you serious? ¡°You¡¯re going to wake up your master by hitting him?¡± Only Roberto, who had seen Schuwald for a long time, took a step back. However, he also lowered his head gloomily, looking at Dio, who had made up his mind. Roberto seemed to think about it for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Dio and said. ¡°If that is the path for you, master¡­ I will follow it too.¡± Dio did not respond to their words that they would be together. Attacking an insane Schuwald is literally a gamble of one¡¯s life. Nevertheless, it would be a shame to receive even a little help in order to succeed in this dangerous mission. Especially if they had learned together under Schuwald¡­ they would be able to wake him up with a higher probability. Knock. Dio raised his head as water drops fell on his forehead. Knock. Knock. It was clearly a night sky with the moon shining brightly. Is it because of the influence of Galeto, who created the thunderbolt? As dark clouds of unknown origin obscured the round moon, the surroundings rapidly darkened. Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss of of the water was at, Dio clicked his tongue. The sight of Schuwald in front of me is already overwhelming, but even the weather is interfering with it. Rumbling ¨C The sky is rumbling in an unusual way. ¡°for a moment! Everyone look over there!¡± Evelyn shouted after discovering something. A figure crossing the moonlight leaking through dark clouds. Lightning strikes. Due to the glare, Dio was able to see the figure for a moment. It¡¯s not galeto. He was very tall, but he didn¡¯t look as big as Galletto. Whatever his identity, Dio instinctively felt what he was about to do. His action of rushing towards Schuwald without hesitation was the same as what Dio was trying to do now. * * * Crassus Elfinelud. As a dark elf, after what happened in Walpurgis Night, he headed straight to Estellum, the city of ghosts in the north. The seven stars do not go out easily, even if only to avoid Luna¡¯s eyes. But Crassus could not remain silent after hearing Ludens¡¯ words. There is a reason why Crassus, unlike the other seven stars, is sensitive to Schuwald as the full moon approaches. He was the only one to witness the legend associated with Schuwald. Overwhelming force that shows what true madness is. Even if they are members of the same seven stars, they are extremely dangerous. I have no hard feelings towards Schuwald. Crassus also knows that Schuwald takes it upon himself to prevent him from going crazy during the full moon. However, even if he is careful, it does not change the fact that his reckless behavior is ultimately dangerous. I waited a thousand years for the key to appear. Crassus never understood Ludens¡¯s meaning of not considering contingencies. Avoiding Luna¡¯s eyes, he secretly and quickly headed to Estellum and immediately set out to find Schuwald¡¯s hideout. ¡®Are you late? No¡­luckily someone is blocking it. Have a key? Could it be that he has grown to the point where he can face him?¡¯ Crassus, who arrived at Kalech Forest, immediately realized that the situation he had feared had occurred. Schuwald¡¯s madness shakes the entire forest. The trembling that he never wanted to remember again made Crassus nervous. -Oooooh! ¡°Schwalt?¡± Crassus found Schuwald crying in the middle of the chaotic place. For some reason, he was quite hurt. And those standing facing him. Crassus could recognize at a glance that they were the ¡®Key¡¯ and the ¡®Chosen One¡¯. But there was no time to talk to them now. Fortunately, Crassus raised his hand as he could see that Schwald¡¯s madness was weakening. Flash! Dark clouds block the moonlight and create lightning. And that unknown phenomenon summoned the legendary weapon ¡®Vijaya¡¯. Recalling the memory of calming Schuwald in the past, Crassus pulled Vijaya¡¯s bowstring. A memory from the past that I didn¡¯t want to remember. That day, Crassus encountered the fear of death for the first time. However, I thought that Vijaya¡¯s arrows would be enough to suppress the current Schuwald. Jiiiing- ¡°Kruk?¡± Schuwald, feeling the tremendous power that Crassus had gathered in Visaya, raised his head. However, Crassus, who had already reached Schuwald, let go of the hand holding the bowstring towards him. Tung- Kwaaaaaa- What was shot at Visaya was not just an arrow. The blue light gathered on Visaya¡¯s bow, which was decorated with gold, was fired towards Schuwald. Kwagwagwagwagwang! The beam of light fired by Bajaya converged on the center of Schuwald, causing an explosion. Patter ¨C Crassus landed safely on the ground and raised his head to look at the place where Schuwald was. Crassus took a deep breath and waited for the dust to settle, perhaps thanks to his sincere attack from the beginning. Patter ¨C Schuwald visible through the dust. ¡®Damn I failed. Then again¡­.¡¯ Without letting go of his nerves, Crassus lifted Visaya again and aimed it at Schuwald. ¡°¡­Old friend. ¡°It¡¯s okay now.¡± Fortunately, the Schwald that Crassus saw did not look like a werewolf drunk with madness. Schwald, who barely came to his senses and returned to his human form, welcomed Crassus with a decrepit voice. ¡°It¡¯s okay¡­I have a lot to talk about, but the location doesn¡¯t seem right.¡± Crassus, who spoke bluntly, grabbed Schuwald¡¯s wounded arm and lifted him up. ¡°Yes¡­ Luna must have noticed that the key appeared. ¡°I don¡¯t know if he came to know about it.¡± ¡°Him?¡± ¡°He looks like an Inquisitor¡­¡± Schuwald muttered, remembering Galletto, whom he had no way of dealing with unless he went berserk. ¡°Have you dealt with this guy?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. But his life or death is not important now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Crassus looked at the key and his men approaching him and Schuwald from afar. ¡°Let¡¯s go for now.¡± ¡°Where?¡± ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Walpurgis Night.¡± * * * The Kalech Forest where Dio¡¯s group left was infinitely quiet. Is it because all the werewolves that ran rampant there have disappeared? Or was it because the lonely cabin in the middle of the forest was completely destroyed? Tweet ¨C Perhaps because of the cold climate, the cold rain that fell overnight was frozen solid. Softly, a small pile of snow moved on top of the frozen rainwater. -Puh-ha! A giant who got up immediately after clearing away the snow and ice that had accumulated overnight. Galletto exhaled heavily and looked around at the chaos around him. ¡°Ouch, ouch¡­phuup.¡± A large scar engraved on his chest. A necklace with a broken leash fell through the torn clothes . It was an artifact that the saint had previously given to Galleto, but Galleto, who had refused it, was able to survive thanks to this. ¡®Hehehe. Thank you, Your Majesty. Thanks to you, I can keep fighting.¡¯ Despite the stinging pain from the wound, Galetto could not hold back the laughter that burst out. ¡°Haha!¡± The first defeat I experienced in my life. Galletto was grateful that he was alive. Because it was too bad to die like this. ¡°Kkkkkk. Old man herbalist¡­ I can look forward to the next time we meet.¡± Galletto made a promise as he looked at the wounds inflicted by Schuwald. Next time we will definitely win. Galletto realized one thing during this fight. In the meantime, Galeto had trusted his own two fists more than Luna¡¯s faith. However, in order to have a more enjoyable fight against the great horde of evil, I had to accept a little more of Luna¡¯s power. Galleto remembered that he would return to the Holy Kingdom of Atra and ask Saint Kaleina for a favor. I finally decided on the goal I had been struggling to find my whole life. Galletto walked slowly, thinking of Schuwald, whom he would meet again someday. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 59 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 59Episode 59: This is the Patalos Underground Temple, where a brazier with fluttering blue flames faintly illuminates the shadows. Patalos, founded by believers who were driven out from the earth, was a place to commemorate the demon king who fell after being betrayed by Luna a thousand years ago. ¡°You idiot. ¡°He was confident that he would make it to the 7th circle.¡± The man who was standing with his back in front of the altar turned his back, swearing. His name is Luave Delaciel. A warlock of the 8th Circle, he had just heard news of Viktor, who was based in Paramont Plains. Even after Victor¡¯s death, he did not show any signs of sadness. But it wasn¡¯t like he was angry. I was just annoyed that there was an empty space in the area managed by Victor. ¡°What should I do?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Luave touched his chin and fell into thought at his subordinate¡¯s words. Victor was one of Luave¡¯s students. He knew better than anyone else that Viktor was greedy and violent even among the warlocks here in Patalos. That¡¯s why Luave liked Victor in his own way. Since ancient times, a great warlock must be greedy. Moreover, Victor was a man with outstanding business acumen rather than a talent for black magic. ¡®The ingredients he prepared were always good.¡¯ In order for warlocks to become strong, they need the power of life. Victor showed an outstanding ability in finding people with strong lives. Luave also had a lot of fun thanks to Victor, so his death was a bit of a shame. However, it wasn¡¯t to the point where I was sad. ¡°Now that I think about it, the sacrifice he was planning to use¡­¡± Luave thought of the sacrifice that Viktor, who had a keen eye for attention, had treasured. A 4-stack black magic spell that is cast on a sacrifice. It was Luave who helped with that. Of course, since I received a huge amount of gold and slaves, not with my bare mouth, I did not covet the sacrifice itself, but¡­ ¡®Did you say she was the sister of a famous knight?¡¯ Remembering that Viktor had assured her that he would use her to ascend to the 7th Circle, Luave felt that it was a waste of an offering that could not be used. ¡°The sacrifice he was trying to use¡­ where is it?¡± ¡°Yes, it looks like the mercenary who killed Viktor is carrying him around.¡± At Luave¡¯s words, the subordinate spread his arms and used a silent spell. Then, the black smoke coming out of the subordinate¡¯s hand instantly created the shape of a map. ¡°This is information from the warlocks who were monitoring Luna¡¯s forces. ¡°It seems they headed north after Rivernos, and the Luna Church is also tracking them.¡± ¡°okay? Even the moon bugs recognized the value of the offering.¡± Luave pledged to be the first to obtain the offering that not only Victor but also the Luna Church coveted. ¡°Find it. ¡°We must find it before the weak and dull slaves of the moon.¡± ¡°yes!¡± At Luave¡¯s command, the subordinate bowed his head and quickly moved out of the temple. ¡°¡­Perhaps the time in history we have been waiting for¡­.¡± Luave, who was looking behind him, muttered softly. ¡°It might happen again.¡± * * * -That¡¯s when I snapped that big guy¡¯s neck! -You got hit and flew away? -Do not be ridiculous. Your magic was really useless. Inside a room surrounded by rock walls. Perhaps due to the noisy surroundings, Dio slowly opened his eyes. ¡°uh? woke up.¡± ¡°Are you okay?¡± The people next to him stopped chatting and surrounded Dio, who was lying on the bed, and everyone opened their mouths. ¡°Tsk!¡± Dio instinctively looked for his weapon on the unfamiliar ceiling, but groaned from the surging pain. Dio tried to remember his past memories and wonder why he woke up in an unfamiliar place, but his body hurt too much. ¡°This place¡­¡± Dio looked around with a frown as his whole body felt like it was screaming in pain. ¡°Don¡¯t you remember? After Crassus saved us from Kalech Forest¡­¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Thanks to Robreto¡¯s explanation, Dio was able to clearly recall the events of that time. Crassus Elfinelud. The moment Dio confirmed that one of the seven stars that came to help them was Crassus, he was able to sleep peacefully. Naturally, Crassus is a person Dio knows very well. Like the Witch of Balance, Crassus is a member of the Five Stars and a dark elf elder. Crassus was always the enemy in the game, but not now. I don¡¯t know what kind of story there is between the forgotten god and Crassus¡­ but if he hadn¡¯t been able to quell Schuwald¡¯s madness, Dio might have died alone in this unfamiliar world. ¡°Whew¡­I guess I should say hello to you separately. Then this place¡­?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. ¡°This is Temberg, where Walpurgis Night is held.¡± Evelyn immediately realized what Dio was trying to ask and spoke in a slightly flushed voice. ¡®This is the place where the seven stars meet¡­¡¯ Dio became interested in the thought that he might soon be able to meet the seven stars he had not yet met. I¡¯m also curious about what kind of region Temberg is. ¡°I¡¯ll have to take a look once my body recovers a bit more. ¡°Oh, thank you.¡± Dio nodded to Roberto, who handed him a glass of water. ¡°How long have I been asleep?¡± Dio asked Roberto and drank some water, still half-hearted. ¡°It¡¯s two weeks.¡± ¡°Puhup!!!!¡± In response to Roberto, Dio squirted out the water he had in his mouth, and Evelyn¡¯s face in front of him became soaked. ¡°Miss, please!¡± ¡°Two weeks?¡± Eveline runs wild due to a sudden thunderstorm of water, and Roberto stops her with a sad expression. Dio looked at Roberto and asked back, ignoring the angry Evelyn. ¡°yes. Dio¡¯s condition was not very good. ¡°I heard you used the power of the sun too much¡­¡± ¡°That was true.¡± Dio sighed at Roberto¡¯s words. Simply recovering HP doesn¡¯t make you feel refreshed. Various status abnormalities, including debuffs, made it difficult for players to recover. The reason Dio has been sleeping for a long time was because of the penalty for using excessive solar power. ¡®Is this a phenomenon like mana depletion? Still, two weeks¡­.¡¯ The stronger the power, the more severe the penalty. Roberto smiled and opened his mouth to Dio, who was looking quite uncomfortable. ¡°I was told I would need treatment for about a month. Still, the master ironed the herbs with care.¡± Dio nodded at Roberto¡¯s words. Indeed, Schwald¡¯s physical ability was down to seven stars. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He, who was the most seriously injured among the group, had just recovered and even made medicine for himself¡­ Dio felt that he had been greatly indebted to Schuwald and wondered if he should at least give him a gift. ¡°I helped you too?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not helping, it¡¯s hindering.¡± Evelyn, who was drenched, was still fuming, but Dio didn¡¯t even pay attention to her. He was busy thinking about the past two weeks and the new seven stars, Crassus. ¡®Crassus, the dismissal of the pentagram. Did you say you burned the World Tree?¡¯ Dio recalled the story of the Order Board that he knew. In the past, there existed something called the ¡®World Tree¡¯, which the elves called Mother. The World Tree made the elves¡¯ power prosper and become glorious. So, from what Dio remembers, he heard that when the World Tree was alive, the power of the elves was stronger than any other power. ¡®But Crassus is the world tree¡­¡¯ To the elves, Crassus was no different from their most powerful enemy. When the players found out about this, they tried to defeat Crassus for the sake of the pretty elves. However, it is notoriously over-the-top fantasy. ¡®Omangseong¡¯, which was created with the intention of the development team, had an extremely difficult level that could never be overcome with a clumsy strategy. ¡®How many users quit because of Crassus?¡¯ If you feel sorry for the elves, there are countless players who were crying and frustrated. There were only a few players like Dio who could overcome the Pentacle. Players who were frustrated by the huge wall called Pentacle Fortress ran away, saying they were sorry to the elves. It was pretty ugly, but it was kind of fun. ¡®Anyway, he also has a story. What is it?¡¯ Dio, like other players, thought of Crassus as a villain who must be defeated. If you think about Crassus at that time, it is true that there is a problem in accepting him as a reliable ally. ¡®But it¡¯s true that you saved my life.¡¯ The story of Crassus can be told at any time. If he doesn¡¯t tell you, you can ask Schuwald. ¡®Schwald will tell you everything about the seven stars and the sun. Should we take a look at a new skill now?¡¯ Dio placed his hand on the kettle on the bedside table, ignoring Evelyn and Roberto who were bickering next to him. Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯ve been lying down for a long time, but I¡¯m thirsty. Dio refilled the glass he had spit out earlier and looked around, thinking he had missed something when he was about to check the system. ¡°By the way, where is Sepia?¡± ¡°uh? ¡°That¡­¡± When Dio asked, Evelyn stuttered as if she was embarrassed for some reason. ¡°Are you resting in another room?¡± Evelyn shook her head at Dio¡¯s guess and opened her mouth. ¡°Sephia left for a while to do some training.¡± ¡°You left? Where?¡± Dio, who did not immediately understand Evelyn¡¯s words, frowned. There is no way Sephia, who knows the rules of the oath, would go far away. Looking at Evelyn¡¯s expression, it seemed like she didn¡¯t know the details. ¡®I see there¡¯s a place nearby where I can train?¡¯ Dio drank a glass filled with water and opened the status window. Originally, he wanted to check his status, including his newly acquired skills, but Dio immediately opened the sub-list of the Oath of Liberation. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Current Contractor] Sepia ¨C LV 150 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°PUH!!!¡± The water cannon spits out again. This time, it was not aimed at Evelyn¡¯s face, but at Roberto¡¯s face. ¡°¡­.¡± Unlike Evelyn, Roberto could not say anything to Dio. ¡°I guess you haven¡¯t fully recovered yet.¡± ¡°Fuhahaha! ¡°Pretending to be nice!¡± He tried to act polite and wiped the water from his face, and Evelyn, who watched him, laughed out loud. However, Dio, still unable to pay attention to their uproar, just stares helplessly at the system charm. Two weeks is enough time to grow. However, D.O. never dreamed that Sephia, who still has a lot to learn, would have grown to this level. ¡®What on earth happened in the past two weeks?¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 60 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 60Episode 60 2 weeks ago. Crassus left the Kalech Forest with Dio¡¯s companions and moved non-stop. Sepia was out of breath as she barely caught up with Crassus, who was gaining considerable speed even with the unconscious Dio and the severely injured Schuwald. ¡°It would be safe here.¡± Crassus carefully used magic to open a huge portal, perhaps to keep an eye on Luna, who was watching from somewhere. ¡°What are you doing? ¡°Go in quickly.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Evelyn, who was very nervous due to Crassus¡¯ harsh command tone, took the lead and headed toward the portal. Following her, Sepia crossed the portal with the limping Roberto, and the place they arrived was in the middle of a mountain with high, rough rock walls. ¡°here is?¡± The group that came through the portal looked around. ¡°Temberg! ¡°We are in Temberg!¡± Standing in front of a rock wall that had no idea how high it could rise, Evelyn was greatly surprised as she immediately realized where this place was. ¡°Is this where Walpurgis Night is held?¡± ¡°okay. The meeting place of the seven stars. This whole mountain is Temberg. It¡¯s the same as what I heard from my teacher¡­phew. ¡°We are safe now.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t lose your mind. ¡°I didn¡¯t come here to have fun.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Finally, Evelyn stammered in response to the cold voice of Crassus, who had come through the portal. Unlike the benevolent Schuwald, Crassus¡¯s rather harsh and sensitive personality made the group uncomfortable. Crassus had a strong feeling that he had been forced to save a load of burden that was getting in his way, and he did not even try to hide it. But no matter what, it was true that he had saved them, so Sepia bowed her head towards him. ¡°thank you. ¡°Thanks to you, I survived.¡± ¡°¡­You are the girl Ludens was talking about.¡± After glancing at Sepia, Crassus paid no further attention. Seeing that, Sephia looked at Dio, who was carrying him on his shoulder without saying a word. He tried to face the crisis in front of him, even exhausting his life force in order to use the power of the sun. ¡®I wasn¡¯t helpful this time either.¡¯ It was like that before too. Sepia tried hard to help, but she was still upset that nothing had changed. To yourself who feels helpless. Are we conceited that we felt the power of the sun earlier than Dio in Schuwald¡¯s teachings? Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the face of a huge enemy called Luna¡¯s five swords, Sepia did not even dare to think of helping Dio. Because he knows that even if he steps forward, he will only be a hindrance. ¡°Master Crassus.¡± When Sepia called to him, Crassus looked at her. ¡°Please tell me how to become stronger.¡± ¡°Three sepia?¡± Evelyn, surprised by this, grabbed Sephia¡¯s clothes, but Crassus just looked down at Sepia with emotionless eyes. Dio Evelyn Schwald. Even though Sepia, who knew nothing, could not understand or follow along, they always comforted and guided her. Clearly, they were great teachers and educators for Sepia. However, what Sepia needed was more harsh and rough training than their gentle teaching methods. ¡®If only to save my brother who sacrificed himself for me¡­¡¯ Sepia clenched her fists as she recalled the story of Sigmund she had heard in Estellum. It is Sepia who saw Crassus¡¯ ability to put the awakened Schuwald to sleep before her eyes. It seemed like Crassus, who seemed so cold-hearted, would whip him harshly. And as she expected, she heard Crassus¡¯ answer that was not at all friendly. ¡°Hmph, I was thinking, why should I listen to that bullshit?¡± Crassus pushed Sephia and walked forward. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. Even if a human girl becomes stronger, it¡¯s useless.¡± ¡°Whether it will be useful or not¡­no one knows.¡± Sepia blocked Crassus from passing her. ¡°The power I have. ¡°Didn¡¯t the seven stars save me because they needed this power?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°I have no intention of becoming your tool.¡± Crassus stopped walking at Sepia¡¯s words. ¡°This power, which you call the power of the sun, has been like a lifelong curse to me. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you help me at least change my disbelief?¡± Is it because he was influenced by Dio? It may have been shameless, but Sepia fearlessly provoked Crassus. ¡°Or is it that you don¡¯t have the confidence to make even a human girl strong?¡± ¡°under!¡± Crassus let out an exclamation as if he was taken aback by Sepia¡¯s bold words. But was it because I was persuaded by her words, or because I liked her boldness? Crassus, who was just looking at Sepia in silence, nodded slightly. ¡°you.¡± ¡°yes yes?¡± Unlike Sepia, Eveline and Roberto, who were restless, were startled by Crassus¡¯ call. ¡°You know the way, right? ¡°Take them to the top.¡± Crassus handed Dio and Schwald, who were carrying him, to them and gestured to Sepia. ¡°You follow me.¡± * * * ¡°So that¡¯s what happened.¡± Dio, who listened to Evelyn¡¯s summarized explanation, nodded. Crassus had Sepia undergo rigorous training for two weeks, and if she had endured it, a level of 150 would have been acceptable. ¡®I guess there¡¯s a separate training ground here. Should I go and visit when I have time?¡¯ Dio felt fortunate that he had tried to become stronger even while he was asleep. ¡®There¡¯s no need to worry any more.¡¯ I don¡¯t know how the training goes, but Sephia¡¯s system appears to be in good condition. Rather, what you should worry about is your own physical condition. His body was still sore, but Dio had already wasted enough time, so he quickly checked his condition. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Slash ¨C Swing the sword to inflict damage to enemies in front.

Dio recalled the technique he unconsciously used when fighting Galleto. ¡®At that time, the skill evolved and the ¡®power of the sun¡¯ was added to it.¡¯ There was a way to become stronger by adding the power of the sun to existing skills, so Dio thought that he needed to experiment and research a little more and checked the status window. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Status Window] : 200 : Forgotten Swordsman Strength: 200 Agility: 150 Intelligence: 100 Stamina: 135 Mana: 100 Bonus Points: 300 HP: 1290 MP: 1185 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Only the stats needed right now are neatly raised by 5 units. Dio¡¯s status window. However, the current stats were those that Dio compiled when he was level 140. ¡®200!?¡¯ Dio was very surprised when he checked that his level had jumped as much as Sepia. ¡®I was 140 when I was hunting vampires and werewolves in Kalech Forest¡­what on earth happened?¡¯ To find out what happened while Dio was sleeping, I checked the backlogged system messages one by one. [You have escaped the threat of Luna¡¯s Inquisitor Galeto Houndstooth.] [You have survived Schwald Eindhauer¡¯s full moon.] [The player has discovered Temberk for the first time.] [The character has been awarded the Great Discovery. Bonus knowledge experience is given.] ¡®Oh my god.¡¯ Dio was able to find out how he reached level 200 through the information displayed by the system. This was because the experience points came in at different units than usual. ¡®Guess Galeto is dead after all.¡¯ Dio was able to confirm through the system that Galletto was dead. If he hadn¡¯t died, there would be no way he would have gained this much experience. ¡®But did my attack have any effect? Or maybe it just means participating in the battle.¡¯ Not only that, but surviving the awakened Schuwald gave Dio experience points. ¡®I also gained knowledge experience points, so is it natural to level up this much?¡¯ Knowledge experience was a concept of bonus experience given when a player discovers or discovers a new area. Because this is linked between characters, Dio, a warehouse character, has not been able to gain knowledge experience points. However, the area called Temberk was an area where none of Dio¡¯s characters were found. I went up about 8 levels with knowledge experience alone. Through this, Dio was able to predict that this place was anything but ordinary. ¡®It would be a good idea to take a quick look around before meeting the seven stars.¡¯ Dio looked around the unfamiliar room he was in. Dio immediately took action in order to gather the knowledge and experience points that could be gained here. ¡°Where?¡± ¡°You should rest a little more¡­¡± Evelyn and Roberto each said a word as they watched Dio wearing the equipment. ¡°Your body must be so sore. ¡°Where are the seven stars?¡± ¡°The master and the other seven stars¡¯ rooms are on the top floor.¡± ¡°Top floor? ¡°Where are we now?¡± ¡°Temberg is a fortress built in a mountainous area. Now this is Jungang-dong. All convenience facilities, including restaurants and medical offices, are located in Jungang-dong.¡± Dio nodded as if he understood Roberto¡¯s explanation and opened his mouth. ¡°You guys do your business. ¡°I¡¯m going to look around a bit and then go to the restaurant.¡± ¡°If you just walk around, you¡¯ll get scolded¡­¡± Judging by Evelyn¡¯s hesitant words, Dio knew that she had already heard what she said and snorted. ¡°Am I a kid? ¡°I don¡¯t want to cause trouble like you, so it won¡¯t be a problem.¡± ¡°Who is causing trouble?¡± ¡°Anyway, don¡¯t get scolded for following me around for no reason, just be quiet.¡± Dio lightly waved to Evelyn and Roberto and walked out into an unfamiliar hallway. The reason why he wanted to act alone and leave his companions behind was simple. ¡®It¡¯s annoying if you make a fuss. ¡®I¡¯d be better off alone.¡¯ Dio, who was planning to visit every corner of Temberg to gain knowledge experience, dragged his aching body and looked into each room connected to the hallway. ¡®Luckily it¡¯s not locked. Is this an empty room too?¡¯ Dio didn¡¯t have much expectations because saying it wasn¡¯t locked meant that there wasn¡¯t anything special inside. However, Dio checked each room he opened, just in case he made an unexpected discovery. ¡®Is this simply a room for guests? Well, it doesn¡¯t look like it¡­could have been a barracks or a church.¡¯ Dio thought of the many believers of the sun in the past and came up with a reasonable deduction. Roberto said this was a mountainous area. However, it will not be a place you can come to normally. This was because it was a place that even Dio himself, who prided himself on not having visited any place on the order board, had never heard of. If so, this place is like a hidden dungeon. There is also a possibility that it is the home of the sun, hidden by seven stars from Luna¡¯s eyes. ¡®It¡¯s entirely possible with their abilities.¡¯ Dio, who was thinking about this and that, soon arrived in front of the spiral staircase that divided the floors. ¡®You said there was a room of seven stars above, right? Then now¡­¡¯ Hidden pieces are hidden in areas that are difficult to find. It doesn¡¯t matter whether the hidden piece is an object or a place. A significant amount of knowledge experience points increased just by entering the Temberg region in a fainted state. Dio judged that he would gain a significant amount of knowledge experience points just by discovering the hidden pieces hidden here. ¡®Shall we go down as far as we can?¡¯ Going down the stairs, Dio was able to discover corridors and various rooms on different floors, but there was one place that bothered him more. Stairs constantly heading downward. I had no idea how high the central building was, but even though I had come down quite a bit, the stairs that continued continued were quite suspicious. ¡®It seems like I¡¯ve been down for a while, but how far do I go down? Would it be dangerous to go any further?¡¯ Dio pondered for a moment as he walked up the stairs leading to a place where there was no light. But he only worried for a moment. Dio, who came this far and didn¡¯t feel the need to go back, took out the lantern from his inventory and slowly went down. Jerk. Jerk. As we went down, Dio¡¯s footsteps echoed. Eventually, Dio came down from the stairs that were no longer connected and looked around the area, which was presumed to be the lowest floor. ¡®This¡­?¡¯ Dio, who was moving along the wall, suddenly noticed that something was drawn on the solid rock wall blocking the path. ¡®mural?¡¯ On the blocked rock wall, we were able to find murals similar to those seen in the forgotten temple. The sun and moon float side by side as if bisecting the world. Priests praying in remembrance of its greatness. Dio slowly stepped back and raised the lantern high. Only then did the magnificent mural illuminated by the light of the lantern come into Dio¡¯s sight. Numerous demonic beasts and knights opposing them fill the entire area of the mural. The knights held their flag high in the burning city. The paintings on the mural were so vivid that I got goosebumps from the knights¡¯ desperate struggle that I could feel just by looking at them. -Tiring! [A secret location hidden in Temberg has been discovered.] [Bonus knowledge experience points are given to the character for the great discovery.] [3682893 knowledge experience points have been obtained.] [The level has increased.] [The level has increased.] . . ¡°oh my god!¡± The system window rang, and a huge amount of knowledge experience points came in, and at the same time, the sound of the level rising continuously rang in my ears. Aside from the ridiculously high knowledge experience points, this is an event related to class quests? ¡®If it¡¯s a lack of understanding¡­ then you¡¯re talking about knowledge of history, right?¡¯ It was not difficult for Dio to predict that the level of understanding the system was talking about was the story of the past that had been promised to Schuwald. ¡®I¡¯ll have to ask Schuwald about this too. After that, it comes back. I think the system is trying to tell me something¡­¡¯ Dio frantically looked at the mural and noticed that there was a key-shaped groove in the middle of it. ¡®What is this?¡¯ Just as I was about to bring the lantern closer and check it more closely. ¡°Isn¡¯t it amazing?¡± An unfamiliar voice coming from behind made Dio stop his actions. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 61 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 61Episode 61: There was clearly no pretense of popularity. Is it because we focused too much on the murals and systems? Even so, if it¡¯s someone who doesn¡¯t notice enough to get this close¡­ ¡°Are you one of the Seven Stars?¡± Considering where this place was, Dio could easily guess who was talking to him. Moreover, there was no hint of hostility in his voice, so Dio confidently turned around. ¡°You¡¯re not surprised.¡± ¡°Are you talking to me with the intention of surprising me?¡± ¡°About half.¡± Dio looked closely at the face of the person who playfully responded to his words. His face smiling all the time. The pure white skin that looked like it had been powdered gave the impression of a humorous clown. ¡®It¡¯s hard to read your expression.¡¯ It seemed the lightest among the seven stars I had ever met, but that made it hard to tell. ¡°Nice to meet you. I am Kalfael. ¡°He claims to be the manager of the murals here.¡± Diririn~ Kalfael revealed his name and flicked the lute he was holding in his hand. Due to his unexpected behavior, Dio tried to find a person named Kalphael in his memories. I would definitely remember an NPC with characteristics like a clown. However, seeing as he couldn¡¯t remember no matter how hard he tried, Dio decided that Kalphael was the first person he had encountered. ¡°This is Dio.¡± As this was his first encounter with the person in question, Dio nodded slightly without letting his guard down. ¡°Do you have a favorite song? ¡°It¡¯s fate that we met like this, so I¡¯ll pick a song for you.¡± Kalfael, heedless of Dio¡¯s warnings, began to tune the lute¡¯s melody. ¡°No, that¡¯s later¡­what about being the manager of the mural?¡± ¡°It¡¯s literally about managing and protecting this place.¡± ¡°Is this a place I shouldn¡¯t enter?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be. ¡°Dio, who holds the key, is the only one who can open this sealed door.¡± Kalfael grinned and pointed to the keyhole that Dio had been trying to look closely at just a moment ago. ¡°The key¡­can you elaborate on it?¡± ¡°Rather than let me explain, how about you see it for yourself?¡± ¡°Seeing it?¡± Dio, who did not understand Kalphael¡¯s words, asked about this. However, Kapael did not respond to his words and just started playing the lute with a smile on his face. -After a thousand years, the key comes. -The blood of the key will find the forgotten past. Although he could have been impressed by the excellent voice, Dio frowned when he heard the content contained in the song. ¡®I know this is a door¡­ but if I¡¯m the key, does that mean it opens with blood?¡¯ Dio turned his back to Kaphael and took another close look at the key-shaped groove. The groove was large enough to fit the palm of one¡¯s hand, and inside it was not a typical locking structure, but a square pyramid-shaped device. ¡®It seems like they are openly asking me to draw blood.¡¯ Dio placed his hand on the key slot and glanced at Kaphael. Seeing Kaphael not doing anything to stop Dio, he made up his mind and held out his palm to the sharp square pyramid. Tingling ¨C Dio quickly pulled his hand out, feeling pain that felt like an electric current was flowing. However, it only took a moment for Dio¡¯s blood, which had already been stamped on the square pyramid, to spread throughout the key groove. But nothing else happened. ¡°hey? What is this¡­.¡± Then something started to move. Clunk-clack-clack- The keyway slowly began to open with a sound as if a complex mechanism was running. As the wall began to move like a puzzle, Dio was startled and stepped back. Push-i-ik- Boom! At some point, the wall where the keyway was located created a large arch-shaped door, and only after making a loud noise did the movement stop. ¡°This can¡¯t be right!¡± Until now, Dio has tried to appear as calm as possible in front of others. Because agitated emotions can be a weakness. But now Dio had no power to hide his emotions. ¡®Why is that here?¡¯ A portal visible beyond the door created by the wall. Dio wasn¡¯t just surprised by the portal. In the world of Order Board, a good wizard can create a portal that can travel long distances at any time. What surprised Dio was the type of portal. The portals created by ordinary wizards are a condensation of blue light. The more powerful the archmage, the darker the blue color, and the greater the distance he can travel in an instant. However, you cannot escape the continent through the blue portal. Anyway, the blue portal was created ¡®artificially¡¯ by someone using mana. However, the portal in front of me now did not have a blue glow. Pure white light like a blank sheet of paper. No person on the Order Board can create that white light portal. That¡¯s because the white light portal is only for players heading to the ¡®dimensional gap¡¯. A dimensional gap. The only place where players can spend their own currency, Dimension Coins. A place where you can use common portal functions using coins and connect with reality, such as by phone or email. Its mere existence was enough to give Dio a reason to be surprised. ¡°Hmm hmm.¡± Kalfael hummed with a quite flushed expression at Dio¡¯s reaction. ¡°¡­Where does this door lead?¡± Dio asked Kalphael because it might be different from the dimensional gap he knew. ¡°well. ¡°I think Dio knows more about that than I do.¡± Dio became even more alert at Kalfael¡¯s meaningful words. ¡®What do you know? ¡®That I¡¯m a player?¡¯ Dio erased the excessive speculation from his mind. Even with seven stars, that was impossible. Recognizing that he was a player was like saying he was aware of the existence of the system. That realm surpasses God. So, it is the domain of game operators. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡± ¡°is it so? ¡°It was definitely a reaction at first as if I knew something.¡± Kalfael slowly approached Dio, who pretended not to notice. ¡°I was just surprised that there was a portal in a space like this. Anyway, Kalfael, you don¡¯t know where this door leads?¡± sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Kalphael opened his mouth at Dio¡¯s words without erasing his suspicion. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. ¡°In the first place, the seven stars, including me, do not have the ¡®right¡¯ to go through that door.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°But Dio is different. ¡°Since you opened that door and proved that you are the key, Dio, you are qualified.¡± After hearing Kalphael¡¯s words, Dio looked silently at the portal, which was presumed to be a dimensional gap. ¡®Is it perhaps a trap? It¡¯s so suspicious¡­Why is the gap in the missing dimension here?¡¯ Dio remembered that the moment he realized he was trapped in the game was a ¡®dimensional gap¡¯ that disappeared. A place where ¡®multiplayer¡¯ is possible for the player¡¯s convenience and unique interaction with other players. A place that unconditionally exists in a base town or city in order to avoid confusing reality with the game. That is the dimensional gap. ¡®No matter how much I think about it, I feel anxious. I need to find out a little more about this and see if I can get into it. To the seven stars other than Kalphael¡­.¡¯ If it weren¡¯t an ordinary incident, Dio wouldn¡¯t have to worry like this. However, the existence of a dimensional gap is not something that Dio can easily think about. ¡°I¡¯m reluctant to go through the portal without knowing where it will lead. ¡°I¡¯ll do it later¡­¡± The moment Dio said to Kalfael and was about to take a step back. ¡°If it¡¯s Dio, it¡¯ll be okay.¡± Tuk- ¡°Ugh-!?¡± Dio was unable to react to Carletto¡¯s sudden action of pushing him away with a bright smile. Chin- Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ? Dio¡¯s foot caught on the crack in the door, and it was an instant before the dazzling light coming from the portal engulfed him. * * * Pitch-black darkness. Dio felt the darkness was familiar now. A blank background that appears whenever you do something. Because it was an experience he had already had in his dreams several times, rather than feeling fear of the dark, Dio expressed his anger toward Carletto who had pushed him. ¡®Isn¡¯t he completely crazy?¡¯ I didn¡¯t know that Carletto would push me away. But Dio soon calmed down and began to think about his intentions. ¡®Is this what you mean by seeing it in person rather than explaining it in words? Damn it. What should I see?¡¯ Dio grunted and waited for his eyes to become familiar with the darkness. ¡®What is this place anyway? ¡®It¡¯s not the dimensional gap I knew?¡¯ I made a quick decision in the current situation with clear consciousness. The dimensional gap is not such a pitch-black place. Above all, if there is a dimensional gap, there is a vending machine where you can use coins. So is it a dream? No, it feels like a dream, but it has a different sense of reality than before. ¡®Is it really a trap? ¡®Is it an eternal prison or something?¡¯ Dio realized that he was standing upright and took a comfortable posture. I¡¯m assuming the worst and thinking about how to get out of here. Faaaa ¨C Dio frowned at the sudden light. Eventually, the space slowly appeared in Dio¡¯s narrowed field of vision. ¡°here is¡­?¡± Dio was startled by the beautiful flower field beneath his feet. An endless flower field under the dazzling sunlight. Dio could not keep his mouth shut at the magnificent flower garden he had seen for the first time in his life. Dio, who had been captivated by its beauty, belatedly discovered a temple and slowly walked towards it. A small temple that appears to be made of pure white marble. The temple was also decorated with stems of flowers. It didn¡¯t seem like a trap. Dio erased his thoughts about Carletto and slowly approached the temple. The wind blowing gently. The flowers were swaying in the wind as if they were dancing. ¡®I don¡¯t know what to do here¡­¡¯ Dio stopped in front of a flower blooming in front of the temple altar and looked around. At the moment when Dio was struggling and had no idea what to do, a voice rang in Dio¡¯s ears. [Can you hear me?] ¡°!!¡± Dio hurriedly looked around to find the owner of the voice he heard. But still, all he could see were flowers. ¡°¡­I¡¯m listening.¡± Dio, whose nerves had become extremely sharp, cautiously opened his mouth. [Nice to meet you. One who crosses dimensions.] Dio¡¯s eyes opened wide. The owner of the voice clearly knows that he is from another dimension. Of course, noticing that you have crossed dimensions does not mean that you know the concept of ¡®player¡¯. However, in the world of Order Board, those who recognize that players are beings from another dimension. Players, including Dio, call them ¡®gods¡¯. Damn Dio asked, trying to be sure of his thoughts. ¡°Who are you?¡± [A god who is now forgotten, but once existed.] A voice that immediately responds to Dio¡¯s question. [I am the goddess of the sun. This is Solari.] Survive as an SSS-level warehouse character. Chapter 62 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 62Episode 62 ¡°The god of the sun?¡± Dio was skeptical about the being that referred to itself as God. [A person who crosses dimensions. Dio.] Solari called out to Dio, who remained alert. Dio felt his tense mind relax as he heard Solari¡¯s calm voice calling out to him. [I understand that you are wary of me. But please know this one thing.] ¡®But where does the voice come from?¡¯ Because Dio could not confirm the reality of Solari, he was at a loss as to where to focus his gaze. Then, suddenly, a flower with green leaves placed in front of the altar caught my eye. The flower petals sway every time Solari¡¯s voice is heard. Dio opened his mouth to the flower as it seemed to represent her. ¡°What do you mean?¡± [That I wish you happiness.] A gentle warm wind enveloped Dio. Dio could not understand Solari¡¯s sudden blessing. ¡®happiness? Do you want to eat well and live well? What good does that have for the Solari?¡¯ The flower shook up and down at the sight of Dio like that. It seemed like he was smiling. As if I knew it would happen because of his unchanging appearance. [Isn¡¯t there something you want to ask me?] ¡°Why is the God of the Sun in a place like this? ¡°Is this really a dimensional gap?¡± Dio asked the question that came to mind first. A moment of silence. Dio listened intently to see what answer Solari would give. [A thousand years ago. I lost my power because of my sister¡¯s wrong choice.] [My sister¡¯s name is Luna. As the goddess of the moon, she was powerful enough to block out the sun.] At Solari¡¯s words, Dio recalled the story Ludens had told. The story is that Taeyang was betrayed by Luna and forgotten by everyone. [I lost most of my strength at that time and managed to create a haven using my remaining strength.] ¡°So¡­this isn¡¯t a dimensional gap?¡± [D.I.O. I cannot give you a correct answer because I have not experienced the dimensional gap you are talking about.] Dio was lost in thought at Solari¡¯s words. ¡®Even powerful goddesses do not know the gap between dimensions. Are you saying that the system is located at a higher level than this?¡¯ Dio secretly hoped that if this was a dimensional gap, he would find a way to return to the original world. However, after hearing Solari¡¯s words, my expectations quickly turned into disappointment. ¡°Do you know how I can return to my original world?¡± Still, out of concern, Dio cautiously asked Solari. [I don¡¯t know anything about that. I¡¯m sorry. [I couldn¡¯t help you.] Dio was secretly surprised at Solari¡¯s polite apology. Even so, I never thought the so-called goddess would bow her head. Well, that¡¯s it. Since it seemed like the divine being was friendly to him, Dio thought he would ask everything at this point. ¡°But why are you saying that I, who am not even from this world, am the key? ¡°There must be many outstanding believers who follow you.¡± Dio said, recalling the seven stars who had observed the inaction up close. Even though Solari appeared before his eyes, Dio did not have the faith that the seven stars had. Moreover, even Dio¡¯s power of the sun was not a power that had fully grown, so it was nothing compared to the power of the seven stars. It was something that Dio could not understand by what standard the ¡®qualifications¡¯ that Kalfael was talking about were created. [My children cannot use my full power now. Because they are all cursed.] ¡°Are you saying that I, who am not cursed, am suitable for the key?¡± [yes. Dio, who comes from another dimension, is the only being unaffected by Luna. There is no key more suitable than Dio.] Dio nodded at Solari¡¯s words. ¡°Then¡­can you tell me a story about your past? ¡°Everything about that war.¡± At this point, Dio also brought up the history story he was planning to ask Schuwald about. Honestly, it would be more accurate to hear it from the Sun God himself rather than from Schuwald. [After Genesis, Luna and I dreamed of human prosperity.] [We maintained an era of peace for a long time, but then he appeared.] ¡°The Devil?¡± Solari¡¯s words reminded Dio of the Demon King who appears in the final chapter of The Order. [yes. ¡®Rademos¡¯, the demon king who reigns over countless evil gods.] Solari, who agreed with Dio¡¯s words, continued. [Born in the darkness where the sun cannot reach, he planned to completely erase the light of the world.] [ We must fight to restore an era of peace.] [The great warriors who believe in me will bravely fight against Rademos. We fought and won. But¡­] ¡°Luna then?¡± Dio muttered softly, remembering what he had heard from Ludens. [Poor child. Luna was a goddess who loved peace more than anyone else.] [I didn¡¯t notice. Luna¡¯s pain. [Her jealousy.] Solari recalled the memory of that time and said faintly. [Luna joined hands with the Demon King and attacked me and the children.] [I was defeated, and Luna used her momentum to defeat even the weakened Demon King.] [But the Demon King did not die.] [He lost his strength like me and was sealed. ] [Over the course of a thousand years, the Demon King will regain the power he lost, and soon¡­ he will bring darkness to the continent.] Dio asked as if he did not understand Solari¡¯s words. ¡°Why couldn¡¯t Luna completely end you and the Demon King?¡± [Luna was also weakened because she used too much power. But¡­] [She probably knows by now. The resurrection of the devil. In preparation for that, they are increasing their power and yearning for greater power.] Isn¡¯t that enough for Dio in Solari¡¯s words? A thought suddenly occurred to me. In the story of the Order version that Dio played, didn¡¯t Luna help the player in both material and spiritual ways to stop the resurrected Demon King? However, Solari¡¯s next words were different from Dio¡¯s thoughts. [Luna wants to protect her world. He will do whatever it takes to protect the ¡®peace¡¯ established in his name. Even if you become an evil spirit yourself.] ¡°Yes? So you¡¯re saying she could bring disaster to the continent?¡± Dio asked, surprised by Solari¡¯s contradictory words. [The back side of the moon is already being eroded into darkness. If this is left alone, she will even forget that she is a peace-loving goddess.] Dio made an expression of disbelief at the new fact that he did not know in the original. ¡®If you think about a Heretic Questioner like Scarlett, it¡¯s not an entirely nonsensical story.¡¯ Dio thought of Scarlett, who did not fit into the doctrine of peace and only pursued the fun of sadism. Among Scarlett as well as other Inquisitors and Paladins, there were many who simply sought power. Tiring- ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Main Scenario] [I learned the story of the gods involved in the Holy Demon War.] [The Sun Goddess Solari and the Demon King Rademos were in a tense fight, but the Sun Taking advantage of the weakened evil, Luna, the goddess of the moon, achieved victory.] [ Luna is increasing her power in preparation for the demon lord who will one day be resurrected.] [But unfortunately, Luna has already chosen the wrong path and uses herself as an excuse for peace. They do not know that it awakens the darkness.] [If we work with Solari to stop Luna and the resurrection of the Demon King, we can prevent history from repeating itself.] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio I looked at the newly updated main scenario and shook my head as if it made no sense. ¡°How can I stop you?¡± Dio¡¯s victory over the demon king Rademos was possible thanks to the help of the Luna Church¡¯s saint, Kaleina. However, the mission given now was like being told to oppose the two strongest forces at the same time, the Demon King and Luna. It is virtually impossible. [If you have the qualifications for the key and are fully grown, you will be able to fully use the power of the sun that you had a thousand years ago.] Solari¡¯s gentle tone turned solemn. [A thousand years ago. The most powerful and accomplished child among my children.] [Please follow in the footsteps of the Great Master and restore the era of peace.] ¡®After the Great Master?¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes lit up at Solari¡¯s advice, which somehow had the scent of a previous quest. ¡°With the power of the Great Warrior, you mean you can stop the Demon King and Luna?¡± [It would be difficult to do it on your own. If you grow together with my external self, you will gain strength that no one can compete with.] ¡°The present body?¡± [sepia. It is no coincidence that she is subject to your oath.] ¡°What?¡± I had guessed that it had something to do with the sun, but I couldn¡¯t believe that Sepia was the incarnation of Solari¡­ ¡°He¡¯s a great warrior.¡± Dio, who heard the whole story from Solari, closed his eyes. Dio just wanted to become strong in order to survive in an unfamiliar world. But suddenly you ask me to save the world. This quest has too many hurdles compared to my current abilities. [Even if you reject the offer, I don¡¯t dare blame you.] Solari, who noticed Dio¡¯s wavering heart, spoke comfortingly. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be difficult if you don¡¯t have a key?¡± [There will be no time to find the key again after a thousand years. Still, it¡¯s something I can¡¯t force on you. Especially for Dio, who left alone in an unfamiliar world.] If the Great Warrior, who can use the full power of Solari, fails to participate in the future fight, the outcome was obvious. But Solari didn¡¯t bother to say it out loud. ¡°If I refuse, does that mean I will be disqualified from receiving the key and will not have to participate in the battle of the gods?¡± [I guess so. Even if that happens, I won¡¯t turn away from Dio. Only I know that you are a special person who crosses dimensions.] I don¡¯t know if Solari is telling the truth or trying to arouse sympathy. but. ¡®It¡¯s not a disaster that won¡¯t come even if I avoid it.¡¯ If the Demon King is resurrected and Luna runs rampant, there will be no safe place for Dio. So in the end, Dio¡¯s only choice was to overcome it on his own. It¡¯s better to try something than to sit back and accept death. Previously. ¡°Let me ask you just one question.¡± [As much as you want.] * * * After a short question and answer with Solari, Dio made up his mind.

Thank you for accepting my unreasonable demands.] Hwaak ¨C Warm sunlight enveloped D.O. Then, as a cluster of sparkling lights slowly descended from the sky, Dio folded his hands and caught it. ¡°This?¡± [This is all the strength I gathered here. It¡¯s a weak power, but it will help Dio¡¯s growth.] Paaat- Along with the intense light, a halo of light appeared on the flower that Dio had been talking about. Although he didn¡¯t know if that was Solari¡¯s true form, Dio could tell that this small sun-like ray of light was Solari. [I won¡¯t be here anymore. But I promise that I will always be by your side.] Is it true that I gave you all my strength? Although it wasn¡¯t long since she appeared, Solari¡¯s appearance gradually became blurred. [With this, you will go out into the world as a great warrior of the sun.] Solari laughed. And then she gave a final blessing before disappearing completely. [May the Radiance find your happiness.] Solari did not tell you to fulfill your destiny as a great warrior. As I said first. She disappeared, wishing only Dio happiness. -Tiring!

This is not the painter who spoke with Solari. Dio looked at Kalphael calling out to him from the side. ¡°Are you okay? ¡°I was surprised that you suddenly appeared.¡± ¡°Why are you surprised that you pushed me away?¡± ¡°Haha sorry about that.¡± Dio wanted to punch Kalfael in the face for trying to get away with it, but he barely held back. Anyway, if it weren¡¯t for him, the meeting with Solari would have been delayed. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m glad you had a good trip. Did you meet him well? ¡°Would you like to correct it?¡± Dio, who knew that the person Kalphael was talking about was Solari, could not bring himself to say that she had passed on her power and disappeared. ¡°Well, that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen him in a thousand years, so my memories are vague. Until now, I have only listened to his voice and carried out his revelations.¡± Diriring~ ¡°Now, let¡¯s sing for him. The keys of glory see him.¡± Kalfael tried to start playing by plucking the lute, but Dio blocked his arm with an uncertain expression. ¡°I don¡¯t feel like it right now.¡± ¡°Oh, was I really shy?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it. ¡°I have a lot to think about, so I¡¯d like to be alone for a while.¡± ¡°Haha, I guess I was oblivious. ¡°These are probably things you don¡¯t want to discuss with me, right?¡± Kalfael quietly stepped back. He was an unpredictable person. I¡¯m sure he was curious about his conversation with the Sun God and the Key, whom he had worshiped his whole life, but I didn¡¯t ask him anything about it. Diririn~ Kalfael plucks the strings of his lute and slowly disappears into the darkness. Only after Kalphael had completely disappeared did Dio look at the passage leading to Solari¡¯s garden. The white portal that Dio had mistaken for a dimensional gap no longer existed. There was only a lonely space left inside the magnificent arch-shaped gate. ¡®Solari¡­¡¯ Solari repeatedly said that Dio did not have to follow the path of a great warrior. The fate of the Great Warrior is a dangerous task that ultimately requires him to go to the forefront and fight both the Demon King and Luna at the same time. Nevertheless, the decisive reason why Dio accepted Solari¡¯s offer was because of his short conversation with her. * * * ¡°Are you the one who brought me here?¡± The ¡®place¡¯ Dio was referring to was not Solari¡¯s flower garden. Solari, who called herself a dimension-crosser from the beginning. It was a question that arose out of suspicion that she might have brought him there. [That¡¯s not true. D.I.O. I know what you want. I don¡¯t know, but there must be a reason why you came here.] ¡°Then¡­the reason could be to create an era of peace.¡± [It is quite possible for now. The situation itself where I feel your presence as the key holder. It could be someone¡¯s intention.] The intention was most likely to mean stopping the Demon King and Luna. ¡°If I solve what that person wants¡­ won¡¯t we be able to go back to where we came from?¡± [I can¡¯t be sure about that. However, if an era of true peace is achieved, perhaps¡­ I can tell you that this is a way to get closer to the truth.] Truth. That¡¯s what Dio wants most. Dio¡¯s conversation with Solari reminded him of a goal he had given up on at some point. The goal is to become strong just to survive. But not anymore. Even in order to return to the original world. Even to find out the truth. The goal of defeating the Demon King and Luna became clear. * * * Kalphael, who is quick-witted, must have made room for me. Dio opened the system window to check the abilities he gained through meeting Solari. A system window that provides detailed information on all of Dio¡¯s abilities, starting with the status window. Dio left behind what he had already confirmed before meeting Solari. Right now, the top priority is to check information about the new abilities provided by Solari. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Class-exclusive characteristic] [Solari¡¯s Blessing] You have received the blessing of the sun god Solari. The amount of points earned is doubled. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®Double bonus points?¡¯ Dio, who confirmed the characteristics, was beyond surprised and made an expression of bewilderment. ¡®Is this the power of God that has existed since Genesis?¡¯ Dio¡¯s appreciation of Solari¡¯s blessing, which is simple and clear yet incredibly effective, was truly incredible. The bonus points given to the player per level are 5. However, it was said that Dio¡¯s character, who received Solari¡¯s blessing, would gain 10 points from now on. That¡¯s not all. It is ¡®the amount of points earned¡¯. Aside from level up points, there are other ways to increase stat points, which means they also increase twice. ¡®You¡¯re crazy.¡¯ Even if you just do the math, if Dio grows to level 350, he will have the same stats as his existing max level character. ¡®If you do this, there is no chance of winning at all. If I grow to max level¡­¡¯ The core of Solari¡¯s blessing is that it expands the player¡¯s maximum growth value. This was an ability that Dio had never seen before in the process of raising seven characters to max level. ¡®But I can¡¯t just like it. In the end, it¡¯s a growth trait, so it doesn¡¯t mean you become stronger right away.¡¯ Dio was aware that he would have no choice but to be hostile towards the Luna Church due to what had happened so far. However, Dio had a conversation with Saint Kaleina in mind. They don¡¯t remember, but when they played as a max level character, Dio was Luna¡¯s comrade in life and death. However, in Solari¡¯s confirmation, Dio concluded that it was impossible to join them. ¡®The system targeted the Demon King and Luna at the same time. In the end, an all-out war with them will be inevitable.¡¯ Dio thought it would be best to avoid friction with the Luna Church as much as possible until he grew up. If you think about Galeto, Dio¡¯s power is still far inferior to Luna¡¯s five swords. ¡®That¡¯s all about the characteristics, now the skills¡­¡¯ ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [NEW!] [Blessing of the Sun] Effect: ¨C Inventory is expanded. Storage space limitations disappear. Items in the player¡¯s inventory can be imbued with Sun¡¯s Blessing. The player specifies the desired item and strengthens it. Number of items that can be specified: 2 Cooldown: 7 days ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio reads in detail the new skill that seems to be a blessing from the ¡®sun¡¯, the source of Solari¡¯s power. saw. ¡®Infinite inventory! This is awesome!¡¯ Dio was always disappointed that he could only take some of his items from the village warehouse. But now you don¡¯t have to worry about that. The inventory expanded with the blessing of the sun will be able to contain all of Dio¡¯s items. It¡¯s literally like a walking warehouse. ¡®Enhance items. It doesn¡¯t tell you how it¡¯s strengthened.¡¯ There was no way for Dio to immediately check whether it simply increased the item¡¯s grade or increased its effect. ¡®Shall we immediately check how it is strengthened?¡¯ It is a skill that is activated immediately when Dio specifies it. Dio searched for useful items among the items he had taken from the Estel Room. ¡®Does this mean that it strengthens everything even if it¡¯s not an equipment item?¡¯ After thinking for a while, Dio decided to try strengthening one suitable consumable item for the experiment. The item he chose was none other than a potion. For Dio, potions were appropriate as experimental items. Even if the strengthening effect is not as good as expected, potions are an item that Dio always uses. ¡®No matter how bad you are, it¡¯s still better than the basics. Is there such a thing as failure?¡¯ Dio looked at the skill description again to see if there was a chance of success in strengthening, but he didn¡¯t see any such text. Confirming that there was no problem, Dio pressed his finger on a high-quality potion that restored 20% of his health. [¡®Blessing of the Sun¡¯ is used.] [¡®Advanced Potion¡¯ ¡ú ¡®Advanced Sun Potion¡¯ enhancement completed!] ¡®Oh, it¡¯s like this.¡¯ Dio confirmed the effectiveness of the ¡®Advanced Sun Potion¡¯. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Advanced Potion of the Sun] Type: Potion Effect: When drunk, 25% of stamina is recovered. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®The recovery amount has increased by 5%. Does this mean that overall performance has increased by 25%? Dio was lost in thought for a moment as he was uncertain whether he should be disappointed or happy. I don¡¯t know if it was because the target was a potion, but considering the cooldown of one week, it was a waste to use it on any item. Still, there is one clear advantage. ¡®It¡¯s a strengthening that doesn¡¯t fail. The blacksmiths will cry.¡¯ I¡¯ll have to experiment a little more, but anyway, it¡¯s still going to be strengthened, so I decided to take it as a positive thing and save the remaining one. Regardless, Sun¡¯s Blessing may have been the most suitable skill for Dio, who has the characteristics of a warehouse character. The fact that Dio¡¯s legendary level or higher items were strengthened twice a week was truly an incredible ability. ¡®Are you looking forward to this?¡¯ Although Dio was calming down, he couldn¡¯t help but feel trembled. Since I was quite surprised when I first met Solari, I was unable to express my joy about the newly acquired class and skills. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, these abilities received from Solari can naturally be considered the best skills Dio has ever acquired. This includes all the characters that Dio has developed so far. ¡°Phew-¡± After checking his condition, Dio relieved his nervousness and took a deep breath. Although my business with Solari was over, my search for Temberk was not yet over. Because I had to gain all the knowledge experience points here. Dio looked to see if there was anything more to the magnificent mural, but found nothing more. ¡®Shall we stop by the other floors?¡¯ Dio went up the spiral staircase again, lighting up the surroundings with a lantern. ¡®It seems like they don¡¯t really care about me going out.¡¯ Kalphael, who manages the lowest floor where the murals are located, did nothing to stop Dio from wandering around. Feeling more at ease, Dio walked down the hallway on the upper floor and immediately found a magnificent iron door. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Although it is not as big as Solari¡¯s room hidden in the mural, the iron door is considerably larger than the doors of other rooms. ¡®It looks like a pretty spacious room? There are definitely a lot of strange things in the underground facility.¡¯ Dio looked at the iron door and placed his hand on the doorknob. The iron door, which must have been quite heavy, moved surprisingly easily. Dio immediately applied his strength and pushed the iron door, and immediately a system window notifying him that he had reached a new area greeted him. [Entered the usurper¡¯s room.] [New space discovered.] [81372 knowledge experience gained.] ¡®Who is the usurper talking about?¡¯ At the moment I was wondering who was related to the room name given by the system. ¡°Dio?¡± ¡°sepia?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 64 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 64Episode 64: A large space that could be the size of a soccer stadium. There, Dio looked surprised when he encountered Sepia, whose entire body was soaked in sweat and was panting, and even had her flowing silver hair cut short. The fact that Sepia is here¡­. Dio recalled Evelyn¡¯s words that Sepia was training and looked at Crassus holding an iron sword next to her. ¡®Crassus. It¡¯s still scary.¡¯ gulp. Dio swallowed his saliva as he looked at Crassus, who had frustrated him countless times when he played the Order Board. ¡®I have to be careful not to be intrusive.¡¯ While he was very nervous as he remembered the image of Crassus mercilessly slaughtering the elves and players, Crassus approached him. ¡°You¡¯re awake. ¡°How did you find out about this place?¡± Unlike Sepia, who looked tired, Crassus, who did not show any sign of fatigue, spoke to Dio. ¡°I was just looking around and saw an iron gate¡­ did I get in the way?¡± ¡°The interruption has just ended.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Crassus lowered the iron sword he was holding and winked at Sepia. Only then did Sephia sigh and approach Dio. ¡°I¡¯m glad you woke up safely. I¡­¡± ¡°I heard it from Evelyn. ¡°I heard you asked for training?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m sorry for acting so recklessly. But¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to be sorry.¡± Dio shook his head slightly when Sephia hesitated and tried to speak. What Dio was worried about was Sepia, who was breaking the rules of the ¡®Pledge of Liberation¡¯. Sepia would have made her own judgment and acted accordingly. After recognizing that the distance between Jungang-dong and the training ground does not exceed the distance specified by the covenant. ¡°You¡¯ve gotten pretty strong?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Sepia laughed as if she was embarrassed. Dio was secretly impressed when he saw Sepia at level 150. Sephia looked quite exhausted as she had just finished training. Nevertheless, Dio could feel the spirit that was clearly different from before just by being close to him. Perhaps Sepia is the incarnation of Solari. Or maybe he inherited the power of the woman who showed great abilities on the battlefield he saw in his dream. I¡¯ve made some guesses, so it may be that sepia looks better. ¡®I might be able to become as strong as I am with Solari¡¯s blessing.¡¯ Moreover, is it because he was trained by Crassus, a dark elf? Sephia¡¯s abilities checked by Dio also confirmed that her agility stat had increased significantly. Why does he keep becoming a ranger? I can see Sepia¡¯s strong body reflected in a lot of sweat. ¡°¡­.¡± Feeling Dio¡¯s gaze, Sephia quietly adjusted her clothes, and Dio thought it was cold because he was sweating, but continued his thoughts without paying attention. ¡®The level of mental and physical abilities have all grown further.¡¯ Well, now it didn¡¯t matter whether Sephia went the ranger¡¯s path or the wizard¡¯s path. I was just curious as to what class she would have since it was covered with a question mark. ¡®The class has not been unlocked yet. ¡®Is it because of lack of level?¡¯ Sepia¡¯s class is still a question mark. Dio had not yet asked Solari what secret was hidden about this. However, Dio, who was confident that he would eventually get a class related to Solari, unconsciously stroked Sephia¡¯s head and muttered. ¡°Good job.¡± ¡°Oh yes¡­yes.¡± Sepia, who blushed for a moment at Dio¡¯s actions, soon smiled comfortably. He was trained by Crassus at Sepia¡¯s choice, but his training was by no means easy. For two weeks, Sephia gritted her teeth and endured it. Whenever Sepia was having a hard time, she thought of her brother and Dio. During Crassus¡¯ harsh and merciless training, Sephia longed for a warm word from her heart. ¡°¡­thank you.¡± Sepia mutters softly, almost inaudibly. But Dio didn¡¯t hear her. This was because his eyes were busy looking beyond the sepia and examining other people. ¡®Crasus.¡¯ Dio was lost in thought as he looked at Crassus, who was maintaining the training equipment, as if he had no interest in himself and Sephia. I wanted to see how much Sepia¡¯s skills had improved, but there was something more important than that right now. ¡°Sepia, take a break.¡± ¡°yes? Ah yes.¡± When Dio held Sephia¡¯s shoulder and spoke, Sepia looked disappointed but moved to a corner to make room. ¡°What?¡± Crassus answered bluntly without even looking at the approaching Dio. ¡°I wanted to say thank you. Thanks to you, I survived. And for guiding Sepia.¡± S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Hmph, I guess you don¡¯t want to talk about something like that? Don¡¯t just repeat things and ask questions. ¡°Because we at least have an obligation to answer you.¡± Contrary to his blunt attitude, Crassus speaks of the duties of the seven stars. Perhaps he is thinking of asking for background on history from a thousand years ago. But Dio had already heard everything about history from Solari. What he was curious about was none other than the story about Crassus. ¡°Why did you burn the World Tree?¡± ¡°!!¡± * * * Crassus Elfinelud. A dark elf who burned down the World Tree hundreds of years ago. It¡¯s not just Crassus¡¯ history of destroying the World Tree that caused friction with the player. The truth is this: The World Tree burned by Crassus did not completely disappear. The World Tree left a seed before it was destroyed by Crassus, and the elder of the elves hid the seed. Time passes and hundreds of years have passed since the world of Order. The world tree at the time the players play the game germinates and grows to the level of a sapling. And when Crassus learned of this, he took action to completely destroy the roots of the World Tree, and in the process, friction arose with the players. ¡°¡­.¡± Dio, recalling these settings about Crassus, fell into trouble. Since Dio accepted Solari¡¯s will and decided to become the great warrior of the sun, he had to borrow the power of the seven stars. ¡®In order to do that, we need to know the story about these people.¡¯ The elves who protect the world tree are not a friendly force to the player. Because elves basically don¡¯t trust humans that much. However, they helped protect the continent against the invasion of the demon king Rademos, and if they were to be classified as good or evil, they were on the side of good. Dio thought that there must be a reason for Crassus¡¯s actions to destroy the World Tree. ¡°¡­.¡± Crassus, who was momentarily surprised upon hearing Dio¡¯s words, calmed his expression and nodded slowly. ¡°I see¡­have we reached the mural?¡± Crassus, who acknowledged that Dio was the key, noticed that he had crossed the mural door and made contact with the Solari. Of course, he hadn¡¯t heard the story about Crassus from Solari, but Dio didn¡¯t bother to explain it. ¡°The World Tree was a believer in the sun just like us.¡± ¡°¡­I see.¡± Dio was surprised, but answered calmly, as if he had already expected it to some extent. The world capital is also a believer in the sun? No, I¡¯m not even a person, so can I say I¡¯m a believer? Anyway, that¡¯s not the point. If, as Crassus said, the world capital was on the side of the sun, I couldn¡¯t understand Crassus¡¯s actions even more. No, if we look back on his words¡­. ¡®You mean not now?¡¯ Dio quickly noticed that Crassus spoke in the past tense. ¡°okay. As you would expect, the World Tree has become corrupted. ¡°After the fall of the sun, the power of the moon seeped into the roots of the World Tree.¡± Crassus, who read Dio¡¯s expression, nodded and said. ¡°As you know, Luna today is not the moon goddess she was a thousand years ago. ¡°She feels insecure about her position.¡± Crassus says that the moon is stained with darkness, just as Solari said. ¡°The sun has fallen, but its believers have not completely disappeared. ¡°Not only our seven stars, but also the great beings that unite the continents, like the World Tree, firmly believe that the sun will return.¡± Crassus spoke in despair and raised his hands. ¡°Luna did not tolerate that. Destroyed everything that believed in the sun. But Luna also coveted the power of the World Tree.¡± The World Tree is the mother of the elves, a god-like being. ¡°Luna brainwashed the World Tree with the power of the moon. But the elves don¡¯t believe that the World Tree is controlled by the moon.¡± Crassus looked into Dio¡¯s eyes. ¡°I was also an elf. He was a high elf and a lord. But I don¡¯t regret burning the World Tree with my own hands.¡± Crassus clenches his raised hand. Dio noticed that he was suffering inside. ¡°I will continue to do my job. Even if my actions are criticized by all my compatriots.¡± ¡°so. Are you looking for a sapling of the World Tree?¡± ¡°¡­Do you even know that?¡± In response to Crassus raising one eye, Dio just shrugged his shoulders. ¡®Anyway, the World Tree has also become corrupted. Then they say we¡¯ll have to fight the elves too, but that¡¯s really a pain in the ass.¡¯ Dio slowly fell into thought, pondering Crassus¡¯ words. Just dealing with the Demon King and the Luna Church is daunting, but on top of that, you have to deal with the elves¡­ ¡®Then.¡¯ Dio glanced at Sepia, who was waiting for him on one side. What Dio needs now is training. In order to use Solari¡¯s blessing effectively, one had to not only level up but also learn new combat skills. ¡°I wonder how you trained Sepia. ¡°I don¡¯t think you just taught me about combat.¡± ¡°Nothing special. Just how to use weapons, the movements of the elves, and how to use the power of the sun efficiently. ¡°It¡¯s just things like that.¡± ¡®I don¡¯t think it¡¯s anything special.¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes lit up when Crassus spoke as if it was no big deal. A pentagram and a dark elf who burned down the World Tree. Dio knows the skills of Crassus better than anyone else, having barely defeated him after dozens of challenges as a max-level character. ¡°Can I learn something too?¡± Dio thought he would easily agree. It was Crassus who trained Sepia and did not hesitate to answer her questions. Wouldn¡¯t training the keys be included among the duties of the seven stars he mentioned? ¡°under.¡± However, contrary to Dio¡¯s expectations, Krasu snorted and shook his head. ¡°I already lost time because of the human girl. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to devote to you.¡± Crassus turned his back on Dio as if there was nothing more to talk about. ¡°Ask the other seven stars. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Because we have to get rid of the World Tree?¡± After hearing Crassus¡¯ story, Dio could easily predict what he would do next. ¡°¡­If you knew, I hope you wouldn¡¯t disturb me anymore.¡± ¡°wait a minute.¡± Dio stopped Crassus, who was about to leave the training ground without even looking back. ¡°Is there anything else left to ask?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± Dio smiled at Crassus, who was looking at him. Crassus¡¯ expression didn¡¯t look very good, but Dio didn¡¯t care and opened his inventory. ¡°As far as I know, the World Tree cannot be destroyed by most weapons.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Even Crassus¡¯s ¡®Vijaya¡¯ will be difficult.¡± Legendary item ¡®Vijaya¡¯. Dio knows Crassus¡¯ main weapon well. Vijaya is none other than a legendary weapon that can be obtained by defeating him. However, when he failed to stop Crassus, it was not Vijaya that he used to destroy the sapling of the World Tree. ¡°I don¡¯t know if you know this.¡± An arrow that Dio took out from his inventory. Dio was able to see Crassus¡¯ surprised expression, which he had never seen before. ¡°That thing!?¡± The arrow that Dio took out was not just an arrow. An arrowhead shining in gold. The shape of a snake decorating the arrow shaft as if it were twisted. An item known as a one-hit killer among Order Board players. Commonly known as ¡®Nidhogg¡¯. One of the legendary items dropped by Crassus along with Visaya. A weapon that directly destroyed the saplings of the World Tree. Therefore, it is the most necessary item for Crassus right now and is something he is desperately looking for. It was clear that it was this ¡®Nidhogg¡¯. ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy looking for this?¡± Dio stretched out the hand that was holding Nidhogg so that Crassus could see it easily. Crassus, unable to shake off his expression of disbelief, simply blinked and looked at Dio.

Description: An arrow made from the teeth of a dragon called the Calamity of Mana. It is said that its teeth, imbued with powerful poison, can rot all things and even destroy mana. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª As the name suggests, this item is inspired by Nidhogg from Norse mythology, who constantly gnaws at the roots of the World Tree. ¡®It can¡¯t be made and can only be obtained from Crassus.¡¯ Dio didn¡¯t take Nidhog, which was in Estellum¡¯s warehouse, out of concern for Crassus or the World Tree. It was only now that Dio realized that the World Tree had become corrupted. Although it is a one-time use, it has a powerful option of destroying mana halls, so I thought it would be useful someday. Although I didn¡¯t know it would be used like this. ¡®Besides, I don¡¯t have the stats to use Nidhogg right now. If you don¡¯t need it, just give it to the person who needs it most.¡¯ While Dio was thinking about this and that, Crassus¡¯ expression turned violent. ¡°¡­How do you have that? ¡°You came from the ¡®Howling Cauldron¡¯?¡± We do not know where the ¡®howling cauldron¡¯ that Crassus spoke of is. Dio got it as a drop reward after defeating Crassus. ¡°Isn¡¯t the more important thing than the source of Nidhogg is the fact that Crassus needs it right now?¡± At Dio ¡®s words, Crassus¡¯s new form moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, Crassus¡¯ hand tried to snatch Nidhogg that Dio was holding. ¡°Aha calm down. ¡°It¡¯s precious, so I can¡¯t give it to you easily,¡± Dio, who anticipated Crassus¡¯ actions, said slyly as he put Nidhogg in his inventory. In response, Crassus, who only cut open empty space, ground his teeth. ¡°¡­It¡¯s not something you should have. ¡°Hand it over to me.¡± Although Crassus seemed to be trying hard to control himself, he couldn¡¯t help but show his impatience when he saw Nidhogg in front of him. ¡®But they don¡¯t want to do anything to me. Well, they can¡¯t do anything about the person who was blessed by Solari.¡¯ Dio smiled as he thought of Solari, whom he had met in the flower garden beyond the mural. A time when there was nothing to do with the sun god. If Crassus had been dealing with the player at that time, he would have just cut off his wrist or arm. ¡°Let me make a suggestion.¡± There was no need to go further. In order to destroy the World Tree sapling, Crassus must find Nidhogg. However, since you have found Nidhogg right in front of you, there is no need to spend time looking for it. ¡°I would like to receive all of Crassus¡¯ skills and knowledge. ¡°When I¡¯m satisfied, I¡¯ll give you Nidhogg.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio had the upper hand in the negotiation by even using the word ¡®satisfaction¡¯. ¡®If you get trained by named NPCs, you may be able to acquire new skills¡­ Even if you don¡¯t get them, you will still learn something.¡¯ Crassus seemed thoughtful. He¡¯s probably not thinking about how to teach now, but how on earth he got Nidhogg. ¡®I guess I have no choice but to accept the offer, even if it¡¯s just out of curiosity. Of course, I have nothing to tell you.¡¯ No matter what you say, such as taking it out of the warehouse or getting it by killing you, it is difficult for Crassus to understand. But no matter where Nidhogg came from, the only thing that mattered was that Nidhogg was real and that Crassus needed it. Finally, Crassus opened his mouth. * * * The World Tree, the mother of the elves. Since when did it start? The moment the world tree was dominated by Luna¡¯s power, Crassus became the target of all elves. Before there was a queen who currently leads the elves, it was Crassus who led them. At the time, Crassus was a high elf. He was considered the most noble among the elves and was the only one who could receive the oracle of the World Tree. The World Tree realized that Luna wanted him and asked Crassus for a favor. [The arrogant moon is trying to destroy the world. Crassus. If I become polluted, you cut down my roots.] At the World Tree¡¯s request, Crassus refused, saying that he could not do that. But the world tree was a euphemism. [Crassus. my child It could be my last request to you.] [For me, for your people, you are the only one who can protect us all.] In the end, the World Tree¡¯s last request became Crassus¡¯ long-standing mission. And Crassus set off on a long journey to wait for the time to complete his mission. As time passed, Crassus became convinced when he heard that the elves were participating in the human war through the will of the World Tree. As the World Tree expected, Luna¡¯s power polluted the roots of the World Tree. Crassus cried for three days and nights. And I decided. ¡®The World Tree must destroy my mother.¡¯ For my mother, for my people. Destroying the World Tree was no easy task, even for Crassus. A mana-friendly elf. The mana they have comes from the World Tree. The huge mana scepter of the World Tree cannot be destroyed by normal methods. To solve this problem, Crassus began a journey to find the legendary weapon ¡®Nidhogg¡¯. A time when dragons ruled the world. At that time, there was a dragon called the Calamity of Mana. Nidhogg was made from the dragon¡¯s teeth. However, as strong as it is, it comes with great risks. It is said that people were so afraid of Nidhogg¡¯s destructive power that they hid the Nidhogg they had made at that time throughout the continent. It was just an old legend passed down orally. However, Crassus wandered for over 100 years on that alone. After a long time, Crassus was able to find Nidhogg at the ¡®Howling Cauldron¡¯, which is called the entrance to Hell. ¡®mother.¡¯ Crassus fulfilled the wish of his mother, the World Tree. However, the elves who were encroached upon by Luna did not know the truth and, enraged, they did their best to kill Crassus. Crassus, who wanted to tell the elves the truth, but still felt guilty about destroying the World Tree, quietly disappeared. However, the sudden news that the saplings of the World Tree were growing again made Crassus move again. ¡®Are there any seeds left?¡¯ It seems that he was not able to finish the anguish of having to destroy the World Tree with his own hands. ¡®For sure this time.¡¯ Crassus should not have stopped, even if only to grant the World Tree¡¯s wishes. To destroy the World Tree once again. This time, Crassus, who needed Nidhogg again, was planning to go on a long journey. But¡­ ¡®How on earth does that guy have Nidhogg?¡¯ An item that Dio took out from subspace. Crassus could tell at a glance that it was Nidhog. Although it is decorated extravagantly, the dizzying energy of disaster can be felt just by looking at it up close. ¡®It must be Nidhogg. And he knows what it is.¡¯ Crassus had no doubt that Dio was the key. Isn¡¯t he the person with Solari¡¯s sword beyond the mural? But¡­ Crassus followed the sun because it was the will of the World Tree. The World Tree is the god of the elves. Elves believe in the World Tree. Therefore, even if it is the key chosen by the sun. There is no way to argue about the world tree. ¡®Can even the key to the sun know the meaning of the world tree?¡¯ No, that¡¯s not the problem. I was suspicious of the purpose for which he was handing over Nidhogg. It doesn¡¯t seem like Nidhogg is making an offer without knowing what the item is. If that were the case, he wouldn¡¯t have even suggested it to himself. ¡®You¡¯re giving me the legendary weapon so readily? ¡®Just getting trained by me?¡¯ For Crassus, teaching Dio is much easier than going out to find Nidhogg. In fact, Dio¡¯s offer was like giving Nidhogg away for free. Therefore, Crassus was rather suspicious of Dio. ¡®Only elves can carry on the will of the World Tree. What if you want to take advantage of this?¡¯ Crassus¡¯s suspicions were by no means excessive. Over the past thousand years, there have been countless believers who abandoned the Sun God because they could not withstand Luna¡¯s pressure and brainwashing. ¡®Maybe Luna was up to something¡­¡¯ Even if it was the key to the sun. No, perhaps even more so, so we should be suspicious. The moon goddess is that cunning and dangerous. Crassus looked at Dio without any doubt. * * * ¡°Before making a deal, there is one thing you must make clear.¡± ¡°what is that?¡± Dio was intrigued by Crassus¡¯ proposal, which he thought he would accept right away. ¡°Show me Nidhogg again.¡± Dio instantly sensed danger as Crassus¡¯ tone turned as cold as ice. Living with doubt. Dio was momentarily horrified by the unusual atmosphere Crassus felt. Dio knew that the other person was the key, so he thought he would take it lightly, but that was not the case. ¡®Seven stars¡­be cautious. Even God doubts it. It could be because Luna suffered that much.¡¯ It was not a situation to check the liver. In that case, a story is needed here to resolve Crassus¡¯ doubts. ¡°Do you think I have other intentions?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no harm in being suspicious, right?¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Dio nodded calmly at Crassus, who spoke openly. There is no need to feel unfair or upset. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Here I must speak as a sincere believer in the sun. ¡°I only recently became aware of the existence of the sun. ¡°When I met her at the Garden of the Sun, beyond the mural, I heard the true story.¡± Dio took out an item from his inventory. But it wasn¡¯t Nidhogg, it was a bottle of potion. Also, Dio said Advanced potion using skills. ¡°I believe Crassus would know this energy.¡± ¡°that¡­?¡± In the case of a typical stamina potion, its contents should be a red liquid. However, the potion that Dio took out was a golden liquid gliding. ¡°As you can see, the sun is blessed. ¡°This would also be effective for the cursed believers of the sun.¡± I haven¡¯t tested it yet to see if it actually works, but it could be possible in theory. Of course, that wasn¡¯t the important thing. The story that would convince Crassus now was ¡®How can the being of the key blessed by the sun have Nidhogg?¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s not just this. ¡°I learned ¡®subspace¡¯ from the sun.¡± ¡°You were given a space?¡± ¡°yes. In addition, there are many more various Noble Phantasms here that will continue the will of the sun, not just Nidhogg.¡± ¡°Are you saying potions are part of them?¡± ¡°It¡¯s literally just a small part of it.¡± Dio put the potion back in and took out Nidhogg again as Crassus requested. ¡°Even the sun knows that the World Tree must be destroyed.¡± Crassus nodded as if he was somewhat convinced. ¡°If the Goddess didn¡¯t know about it, there would be no reason for Nidhogg to exist in this subspace.¡± ¡°Certainly¡­¡± Crassus¡¯s guard seemed to have loosened at the explanation of Dio, who was like a faithful believer, but his doubts did not seem to have completely disappeared. As if to prove this, Crassus stared at Nidhogg. Dio, who was watching this, approached Crassus and handed him Nidhogg. If there is anything suspicious, you just have to look for it yourself. ¡°Has the goddess given you a mission to destroy the World Tree?¡± Crassus hesitated as he looked at the Nidhogg handed to him by Dio. This is because he wavered in front of the mission that had been given to him. What if the final mission given to Crassus had been passed on to the key? Crassus was confused about what he should live for. ¡°You didn¡¯t say anything like that. However, it was the goddess¡¯s will that gave me Nidhogg. And I also deliver this Nidhogg to someone.¡± When Dio took a step towards Crassus, Crassus took a step back in surprise. Dio held out Nidhogg in front of him and continued speaking. ¡°It must be the goddess¡¯s will.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Crassus¡¯s eyes shook greatly. Although she spoke in grandiose terms about the goddess¡¯s will and all, Solari did not say a word about it. I was originally planning on handing over Dio in return for training, but since I was so suspicious, I thought it would be better to just hand him over. It is better to boldly give up on the deal, as it will raise suspicions about the seven stars. ¡°Please take it. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about my suggestion that I mentioned at the beginning. It came from my desire to quickly increase my power.¡± Dio finally used Sun¡¯s Blessing against Nidhogg. Woe! A brilliant brilliance surrounding Nidhogg. Crassus knelt down on one knee in the sacredness that Luna could not dare to imitate. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 66 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 66Episode 66: Part of Crassus was dissatisfied with the sun. Why didn¡¯t the sun protect the world tree? Even if the collusion between the Demon King and Luna was discovered too late, it is a self-evident fact that the sun was ultimately defeated. The elves, who only had the World Tree, had no choice but to be dissatisfied with the sun. It was perhaps natural that, apart from Crassus, some elves who knew the truth also turned their backs on the sun. However, only Crassus followed the will of the World Tree and stood on the side of the sun. I always wanted to give up. It was despairing that he had to destroy the World Tree with his own hands. But I think I know now. ¡®You¡­didn¡¯t abandon us.¡¯ Crassus could feel the glow radiating from Nidhogg. This means that the goddess respects the will of the World Tree. What the world tree desires. That is the prosperity and abundance of the elves. And peace. To do so, he had to sacrifice himself, and Solari understood this. Crassus reprimanded himself for doubting Dio. Isn¡¯t this sacred and pious something like the representative of God? Crassus made a promise. According to the will of the Goddess, I will definitely complete my mission by following the will of the World Tree. * * * [¡®Blessing of the Sun¡¯ is used.] [¡®Nidhogg¡¯ ¡ú ¡®Nidhogg of the Sun¡¯ strengthening completed!] It seemed as if the disaster spewing out from Nidhogg was instantly purified. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Nidhogg of the Sun] Grade: Legend ¡ú Myth Classification: Arrow Level limit: 0 Required agility: 200 Required intelligence: 200 Required mana: 200 Attack power: 0 Special conditions : Only those with the power of the sun can use it.

It is said that its teeth, imbued with powerful poison, can rot all things and even destroy mana. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª I wondered if it was a good thing that Nidhogg¡¯s poison, which destroys the mana hall, had been diluted, but after looking at the explanation of the strengthened Nidhogg, there was no particular problem. Rather, the additional condition that no one could use it was a much better option from Crassus¡¯s perspective. Even if a powerful weapon is taken away by enemies, they will not be able to use it carelessly. ¡®Anyway, why is this like this?¡¯ Dio reverently received Nidhogg and looked at Crassus, who was soaked in sentiment, as if it were a burden. Seeing him kneel down, it seems like he¡¯s overthinking something¡­ Dio wanted to tell Crassus, who received Nidhogg, to train him, but he didn¡¯t necessarily act tactfully. Dio turned his back on Crassus, who seemed to be praying. And then he approached Sephia, who was looking confused from a distance. ¡°Dio. What happen? ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen Crassus do something like that.¡± ¡°I just gave you a gift. ¡°I guess he was impressed.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t play around.¡± Sephia urges Dio, who is speaking indifferently. ¡°Really. I asked him to train me like you, but he said no, so I gave him a gift. And then it looked like that.¡± ¡°Training? Dio, will you also learn from Crassus?¡± ¡°why? I wish I could get stronger quickly. Are you dissatisfied?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that¡­¡± Sephia muttered, looking at Crassus, who couldn¡¯t have reacted like that to a simple gift. This is the judgment that Sepia came to after looking at the person named Crassus for the past two weeks. He is a cool-headed person who does not like to show his emotions. However, Sephia almost felt uncomfortable and awkward as Crassus was thrilled by what kind of magic Dio had used. ¡°Anyway, how about you?¡± ¡°yes? What?¡± Sepia made an incomprehensible expression in response to Dio¡¯s question. ¡°What is it? ¡°Can you use the power of the sun?¡± ¡°ah.¡± Instead of answering Dio¡¯s words, Sepia picked up the crystal recurve bow that was lying on one side. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll show you.¡± Sephia smiled quite brightly and aimed her bow at a target that seemed to be quite far away. ¡°You¡¯re not trying to show off your strength, are you?¡± ¡°Can you please be quiet?¡± ¡°yes.¡± As he said, Dio watched Sephia pulling the bowstring with great interest. ¡®far.¡¯ Approximately 100 meters away. However, with Sephia at its current level, it would be possible to shoot it to that distance with pure force alone. However, if you focus on whether that power is useful, well¡­? Uuuuung ¨C At that moment, light began to condense from Sepia¡¯s bow. From that warm energy, Dio could tell that the power created by Sepia was definitely the power of the sun. Liquid-! ¡®hmm? ¡®Just barely¡­¡¯ The arrow that Sepia shot flew normally. However, as if that wasn¡¯t just an attempt to show off, an intense light emanated from the arrow¡¯s feather as it advanced, giving momentum. ¡®crazy.¡¯ phut! The arrow, accelerated by the power of the sun, hit the target at a speed so fast that Dio missed it. ¡®That¡¯s right in the center. What did that guy teach you¡­.¡¯ ¡°Crassus releases the power of the sun right away, but I guess my body can¡¯t bear it because I¡¯m still weak.¡± Sepia opened her palm, which had not yet healed, and showed it to Dio. ¡°So, by shooting a powerful medium and releasing it midway, the power can be increased without putting any strain on the body.¡± ¡°¡­okay. It happens as you think. I¡¯m glad.¡± Only then did Dio discover numerous arrows stuck in the wall. And once again, I saw Sepia¡¯s palms covered in scars. Applying the power of the sun to fill your own shortcomings is not an easy task. You¡¯ve probably practiced it thousands of times. ¡°You worked hard. Good job.¡± ¡°That¡¯s Okay. It¡¯s natural. ¡°Because I learned it from Crassus.¡± Sepia blushed and responded curtly to Dio¡¯s sincere praise, perhaps out of embarrassment. ¡®Is this also an ability given to the incarnation of Solari?¡¯ I already knew that Sepia¡¯s learning ability was excellent. However, in addition to that, I never thought he would have an outstanding ability to reinterpret the skills he learned as his own. ¡°But what happened to the runaway? ¡°Now that you have control over power, can you control it?¡± Dio asked, remembering the most important part of Sephia. Only now has it been revealed that Sepia¡¯s unknown power is the power of the sun, but that doesn¡¯t mean the problem has been resolved. ¡°We haven¡¯t solved that yet. Even Crassus didn¡¯t seem to know.¡± ¡°okay?¡± A problem that not even Crassus could solve¡­ This was like saying that Sepia¡¯s abilities were greater than expected or that they could be dangerous. ¡°But just in case, she asked me to talk to the Witch of Balance again.¡± Tiring! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Quest] Meet the Witch of Balance. Contents: In the eastern part of the continent, there is a Witch of Balance. If you meet the Witch of Balance and grant her a favor, you will be able to ask her for help in difficult situations. Reward: Sepia class revealed. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio¡¯s eyes widened at the sudden sound of the system notification sound. ¡®quest?¡¯ I didn¡¯t know that a quest would arise from Sepia¡¯s conversation. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thinking that it might be a quest exclusively for Sepia, the contract holder of the liberation pact, Dio read the contents slowly. ¡®It is clear that the Witch of Balance is the answer.¡¯ The reward clearly states that Sepia¡¯s class has been revealed. Dio was a little excited when he was able to confirm Sephia¡¯s occupation, which had been kept secret until now. ¡®As the Witch of Balance, I feel like I have to grant her a favor¡­¡¯ I think I will only find out the details of the request when I meet the Witch of Balance. If the job is revealed as a quest reward, additional abilities may also be provided. ¡°Then¡­¡± Since there was nothing to do right now, I was about to go outside with Sephia, thinking of looking for the Witch of Balance. ¡°for a moment.¡± Dio turned around when he heard Crassus¡¯ voice calling him. Crassus is seen holding Nidhogg and making a determined expression. Dio could vaguely anticipate what he would say. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for doubting you. ¡°It must be the goddess¡¯s will for you to become stronger.¡± ¡®It will happen a long time ago. I was scared for no reason.¡¯ Dio shouted hurray inwardly, but did not express it outwardly. ¡®I¡¯m sorry it seems like I¡¯m deceiving you. ¡®It seems like he thinks it¡¯s good, so there won¡¯t be a problem.¡¯ It is easy to deceive a person who has longed for one thing for a thousand years. This was what D.O thought when he was Junwoo and saw people falling victim to cults. Desperation clouds a person¡¯s judgment. Crassus also belonged to this group. The stories about the goddess¡¯s will and all were made up by Dio on the spot. However, Dio did not feel very guilty. In any case, he is in the dangerous position of having to deal with the Demon King and Luna at the same time on behalf of Solari, the goddess of the seven stars. ¡®I¡¯m not in a position to hide things.¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes lit up at the thought of being able to learn Crassus¡¯ skills. ¡°Do you want to start right now?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I already called him.¡± ¡°Who?¡± ¡°ah!¡± Dio had doubts about Crassus¡¯ answer. Isn¡¯t Crassus training you? Unlike Dio, who was curious, Sephia opened her mouth as if she knew what Crassus was doing. ¡°It looks like Dio is going into action right away.¡± ¡°Practical? ¡°Are you going to invite me to play against you?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll know it when I see it.¡± Dio, who could not find a clear answer even in Sepia¡¯s conversation, was soon able to see another seven stars that had arrived in the usurper¡¯s room. Diriling~ ¡°Haha! ¡°It¡¯s nice to see you again soon.¡± Dio became even more confused when he saw Kalphael appearing with a bright smile playing the lute. ¡®Why is that guy again?¡¯ Dio was nervous about the reunion of Kalphael, the most mysterious of the seven stars he had ever met. ¡°Do you need my help? Mr. Crassus?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I already tell you?¡± Crassus grunted as he put the purple orb, presumed to have summoned Kalphael, in his arms. ¡®Is it the Jeonseo-gu type? It seems that there can be light communication between the seven stars in Temberg.¡¯ Dio quickly figured out how Crassus called Kalphael. Well, that¡¯s it. I still don¡¯t know why Kalfael is needed for training. ¡°Then let¡¯s start right away?¡± ¡°Wait. ¡°What are you starting?¡± widely! Kalfael smiled and snapped his fingers at Dio, who asked urgently. Whoa! Darkness came in an instant. However, it was different from the dark spaces Dio had experienced so far. Since ancient times, humans need light to discern something with their eyes. However, even though it was clearly a space without light, Dio was able to clearly identify people. Sepia Crassus Calphael. ¡°What is this¡­?¡± ¡°I heard it from Schuwald. ¡°Your fighting skills are already perfected.¡± Crassus opened his mouth to Dio, who was unable to adapt to the strange phenomenon. ¡°If Schwald says so, there is no need to teach you my movements. Then there is only one thing for you to learn.¡± Deering~ As Kalfael played the lute again in accordance with the story of Crassus, cracks began to form in the darkened space. ¡®This¡­¡¯ Dio noticed that the world created by Kalphael was a virtual space as the space was cracking. A red world appearing within a torn space. The gradually widening red background completely removed the dark world and covered everything around it. ¡®The ability to manipulate space surpasses that of an archmage¡­ Does that mean Kalfael is that skilled?¡¯ Dio was nervous, but quickly calmed down when he thought that Sephia had also gone through this process. Meanwhile, the world Kalfael had created was still changing. The red world that cleared the darkness began to gather again into the cracked space. Wow ¨C a blue portal was eventually created. Dio sensed that the portal in front of him was not simply a passage leading somewhere. No, there is no need to have intuition¡­ -Kyaoooo! -Krrrrr¡­ It was easy to notice when looking at the numerous demonic beasts visible beyond the portal. ¡®Are you making me fight imaginary enemies?¡¯ Dio looked at Crassus. Then Crassus pointed to the portal with his head as if asking Dio what he was doing. ¡®good. Let¡¯s check how great the training is.¡¯ Dio checked his status through the system and walked towards the portal. ¡°Be patient. Dio!¡± Dio lightly waved his hand as Sepia cheered from behind. ¡®hmm? Wait a minute. Instead of saying ¡®cheer up¡¯, you say ¡®endure¡¯?¡¯ A moment¡¯s question. After that, the moment Dio¡¯s foot goes through the portal. His new form was instantly sucked into the portal.

In that large space, only one witch was lying down on the table and sighing. ¡°Oh what. ¡°I¡¯m bored.¡± Evelyn had been waiting for a long time when Dio told her to go to the restaurant first. ¡°Where did Roberto go again? Well, you don¡¯t need that guy.¡± Eveline grumbled, remembering Roberto who had gone into his private quarters saying he had a lot of work to do. ¡°Shall we go and look for it? What if I get scolded¡­¡± Evelyn thought about the first time she came to Temberg. I was very young at the time, and perhaps because of my shy personality, I got scolded by my teacher a lot. But it was still good. Because everything was new. ¡°good. As a senior at Temberg, I have to take care of my juniors.¡± Evelyn, filled with determination, jumped off the chair and walked out of the restaurant. * * * Evelyn Lapis. 20 years ago. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Evelyn began her journey as a witch when she turned exactly 6 years old. Evelyn grew up in ¡®Oaks¡¯, a small rural town in the eastern region. However, although she grew up in Oaks, no one knew her exact birth date. Because she was an orphan. -There¡¯s a ghost passing by! -They say it¡¯s a pale ghost! In addition, as it was a rural village mainly engaged in agriculture, people¡¯s skin was tanned by the sun. Evelyn, with her unusually white skin, clearly stood out among them. Was that why? Because children were sensitive to the crowd, it was common for them to be ostracized even if they were slightly different. Evelyn was good prey for those children. Still, as expected from a simple rural village, the adults felt sorry for Evelyn and provided her with food. A small helping hand was of great help to Evelyn. Even though Evelyn was hurt by other children, she lived steadfastly. Unlike the children who roamed the valley and played in the flower fields, Evelyn wandered around the village looking for pastimes. Not only did they clean the back areas, but they also scooped up feces. Although a child of such a small stature could not possibly have any power, the will to live made Evelyn move. Evelyn took care of all the adults¡¯ miscellaneous errands, and even though she whined from exhaustion, she did her best. There wasn¡¯t much she could do with the money she had saved by saving every penny she had, as she had no friends. -I will become a warrior too! -I am a great wizard! One day, the children gathered together and chatted with excitement. Evelyn saw a book for the first time in her life. -Go away, you beggar. -You don¡¯t have anything like this, do you? Of course, all Evelyn could see was the cover of the picture book. Evelyn still hasn¡¯t forgotten the picture book she saw back then. A fearsome dragon perched atop a gloomy castle. And a knight on a white horse pointing his sword at him. After that day, Evelyn visited a used bookstore in the village. -Are you here again? -¡­I¡¯ll stay calm. Even though Oaks was on the outskirts, there was at least a used bookstore. It was Evelyn¡¯s only resting place. It was impossible for Evelyn to buy even a used book due to her circumstances. Still, it was possible to pay for one fairy tale and read it inside a used bookstore. -You learn writing quickly. If you had received a good education, your future would have been bright¡­ The bookstore owner felt sorry for Evelyn, who could not read, wandering around looking for picture books. She taught Evelyn simple writing, and Evelyn was able to quickly learn to read and write. Thanks to her kind-hearted owner, Evelyn fell even more in love with books. A dimly lit yet dark used bookstore. Evelyn thought this was her only world. Evelyn thought, feeling happy from books. They say that because they are introverted, they don¡¯t like moving around. -Hey, look over there. The witch goes to the bookstore again. -How gloomy! They must be cursing us! But were the children jealous of Evelyn, who was living a brave life? In addition to Eveline¡¯s unusually white skin, the children who did not know that she went to the used bookstore every day framed her. ¨C Evelyn is a witch. -Someday it will bring disaster to our village. -They¡¯re looking for a way to curse us. In response to the children¡¯s nonsense, the adults at first told them not to do so. However, there was no one on Evelyn¡¯s side among the children, and the adults could not ignore the anxious children. -I¡¯m sorry. Because Charles is so stubborn¡­ you don¡¯t have to come out starting tomorrow. As even adults turned away from Evelyn one by one, the time she spent starving increased. One day, after such a difficult time, I left the abandoned barn to visit the bookstore. -The witch over there is going to do something naughty again~! -Ha ha ha ha ha! uh? -omg. hey! Jump out! That day was a day when the voices of children harassing Evelyn died out unusually quickly. The moment Evelin raised her head to see what was happening. ¡°hi. Little witch?¡± That was the first meeting between Evelyn and her teacher, B¡¯Elanna Calliope. The moment Evelyn saw Calliope talking to her, she could tell that the children had disappeared quickly, unlike usual. Dressed in fancy dresses and feather-decorated prophy hats that are hard to find in a town like this. This may be because the aura felt by her, who looked like a noble lady somewhere, was unusual even for children. ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°thank you.¡± Calliope offered Evelyn her hand. Evelyn, who had been sitting on the floor because the children had even thrown stones, grabbed her hand and struggled to get up. Nevertheless, Evelyn could not look straight at Calliope. Even if it wasn¡¯t because of the aura, I had read in a book that if you looked the wrong way to a noble, you would die. ¡°I¡¯ll just go now.¡± Evelyn left a brief greeting to Calliope and hurried to the bookstore. Arriving at the bookstore, Evelyn sighed in relief and handed a copper coin to the owner. Evelyn, who was having a slightly different day than usual but ultimately the same, found the book she had half-read yesterday and opened it. But that day was no different. ¡°What is your name?¡± ¡°yes?¡± Since when have I been following you? No, I didn¡¯t even notice it coming. I¡¯m sure I was the only one who entered the bookstore¡­ Was it right to ask my name now? ¡°Me?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°Who else is here but you?¡± Evelyn felt burdened by Calliope showing interest in her, but she opened her mouth out of fear that she would get in big trouble if she looked hateful. ¡°I¡¯m Evelyn.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a good name.¡± ¡°Who is your sister?¡± ¡°Ho ho ho. ¡°You look like your sister?¡± Calliope, who was greatly pleased by Evelyn¡¯s words, let out a coquettish laugh. Seeing that, Evelyn felt that the woman in front of her was quite eccentric. ¡°My sister is a wizard. ¡°Do you know what a wizard is?¡± ¡°really? ¡°I¡¯ve seen it in a book.¡± Evelyn, who was very excited by Calliope¡¯s words, lifted the book she was reading. A book based on the biography of the great wizard Merlin. ¡°Then it will be easy to talk about. ¡°Why don¡¯t you learn magic from your sister?¡± ¡°Magic? ¡°Me?¡± Evelyn¡¯s blue eyes opened wide at Calliope¡¯s suggestion. Am I the wizard¡¯s apprentice? If you become a wizard, you¡¯ll be strong enough to fight dragons, right? Charles Everdeen Jansen, who was harassing me? Evelyn imagined the children who had bullied her, crying and crying. Seeing Evelyn opening her mouth and letting her imagination run wild, Calliope giggled and snapped her fingers. Just ¨C is this a fantasy? Evelyn was clearly in the corner of the bookstore just a moment ago. But now Evelyn was standing in the middle of a dense forest. Calliope asked Evelyn again, who was confused as to what was happening. ¡°Do you want to become a wizard?¡± Evelyn, who saw the magic unfolding before her eyes, nodded while jumping around. ¡°I want to do it!¡± ¡°okay. What a cute kid. My name is Calliope. ¡°From now on, call me Master.¡± ¡°yes! ¡°Master!¡± ¡°Then first.¡± Calliope touched Evelyn¡¯s head with her fingertip. Then, Evelyn, who was dirty from not being able to wash, instantly became clean, and her clothes, which were like rags, were replaced with new clothes. ¡°Starting today, I appoint you as the Witch of Balance¡¯s disciple.¡± ¡°Witch? ¡°Aren¡¯t you a wizard?¡± ¡°That¡¯s it. ¡°Let¡¯s skip over the little things.¡± In this way, Evelyn became Calliope¡¯s disciple and entered the world of witches. Calliope must have recognized Evelyn¡¯s talent, so she quickly learned magic. Because of her excellence, Calliope worked hard on Evelyn, and although everything was fun at first, Evelyn was growing tired of her teacher¡¯s continued research. Evelyn had always thought of herself as an introvert. However, she continued living in the cave independently from her teacher¡¯s laboratory¡­ The truth was¡­ she was lonely too. I was always envious of the village children running around and playing. I wanted to play with her too¡­ She used familiars and orcs, but Evelyn missed talking to people. A person who is not afraid even though she knows she is a witch. Someone who doesn¡¯t come to you with garlic and stakes. -hello. My name is Dio, a councilor from the East who came here across the Eastern Sea. Dio and Sepia come to such a boring life. Adventures with them were the life Evelyn dreamed of. It was only after traveling around here and there that Evelyn realized that she was an extrovert. Dio was a strange guy. Even more so than herself, the witch, and even more so than Calliope, her teacher. They give you the essence of flame without thinking, and you mutter unintelligible stories to yourself. Still, after hanging out with him, he turned out to be a really nice guy. And lovely sepia. Evelyn really liked Sepia, who called her teacher and followed her. For Evelyn, who was of similar age and had no friends as a child, Sephia was a very dependable person. * * * ¡°Where are they wandering around, leaving me alone?¡± Evelyn left the restaurant and looked around, but couldn¡¯t find Dio and Sepia. Still, he did not give up and was about to take the stairs to another floor when he spotted Roberto approaching him. ¡°Oh what. ¡°I didn¡¯t go around looking for you!¡± Evelyn was for no reason irritated by Roberto, who appeared instead of Dio and Sepia who she was looking for. ¡°Schwalt is looking for you.¡± ¡°what?¡± Eveline found it strange that Roberto did not react at all to her words and only blurted out business. Did something important happen? Schuwald won¡¯t call you for normal work. ¡°Where should I go?¡± ¡°Follow me.¡± Eveline thought the unfamiliar sensation she felt from Roberto was an illusion. And immediately started moving along with Roberto, who was leading the way. Even then, Evelyn didn¡¯t notice. Srur¡­ the black energy rippling behind Roberto. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 68 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 68Episode 68 Dio, who came through the portal created by Kalphael, looked around. ¡®I could clearly see the appearance of demonic beasts.¡¯ Dio recalled the demons he had seen through the portal in the usurper¡¯s room. I entered the portal with the intention of going straight into battle. What welcomed him was only an infinitely peaceful green meadow. ¡®Did Kalphael make a mistake?¡¯ A stream with clear water flowing. Small fish were swimming freely there. What about a field with a gentle wind blowing? Butterflies were dancing on the flowers of harmonious colors. A peaceful space similar to but different from Solari¡¯s flower garden. Since the existence of a demonic beast was completely out of place in a place like this, Dio wondered if Kalphael had made a mistake. ¡°How is it? ¡°Isn¡¯t it truly idyllic?¡± Dio turned around when he heard Kalfael¡¯s voice coming from behind him. Kalphael and Crassus, who had followed Dio, were seen there. ¡®You came together? Then they say it wasn¡¯t a mistake.¡¯ Dio quickly looked at the expressions of Kalphael and Crassus. Kalfael still doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, and Crassus closes his eyes as if he¡¯s lost in some memory. Dio looked at the surrounding scenery once again. Diririn~ Kalphael opened his mouth while playing the lute to Dio, who was trying to understand the purpose of sending him here. ¡°Do you know where this place is?¡± ¡°well.¡± Although Dio had been all over the order board, this was his first time seeing the current location. ¡°Leavitt.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Kalfael took his eyes off Dio and let out a voice full of longing. ¡°A thousand years ago. A place called paradise in times of peace.¡± Dirring ¨C Like Crassus, Kalphael, who was filled with sentimentality, began to play a beautiful melody on his lute. ¡°This is the most beautiful place on the continent, no, it is called paradise on earth. ¡°It¡¯s Leavitt.¡± ¡®Leavitt? Are you really talking about the Leavitt Swamp?¡¯ Kalfael¡¯s explanation reminded Dio of the Libit Swamp in his memories. However, unlike this place, it was a place where people competed for first or second place in the order board with terrible scenery. ¡°Of course, it has now been transformed into a terrible place due to the aftermath of the Holy Demon War.¡± Kalphael¡¯s explanation continued, resolving Dio¡¯s questions. ¡°Even though it is an illusion created by my magic, we want to remember that time at least in this way.¡± ¡®So what should I do?¡¯ I asked him to train me and he said he would introduce me to a memorable place? Dio, who still couldn¡¯t understand Kalphael¡¯s intentions, thought. However, I wonder if he doesn¡¯t know what Dio is thinking, or if he knows and does it on purpose. Kalfael continued speaking excitedly. ¡°At that time, our sun and moon believers gathered together and held a festival. Pray, sing¡­¡± ¡°Leave the small talk there. ¡°Kalfael.¡± Did Crassus at least understand Dio¡¯s feelings? Crassus interrupted Kalphael instead of saying what Dio wanted to say. ¡°Hehe, Mr. Crassus. Even if you say that, didn¡¯t you miss this place more than anyone else?¡± ¡°gibberish. ¡°I am not weak enough to be locked in the past.¡± ¡°I guess so.¡± Kalfael stroked his hair as if he had expected that answer. Then, as if feeling more comfortable, he stretched out and said. ¡°Are you ready?¡± ¡°So what?¡± Dio grumbled at Kalphael, who was once again only saying what he wanted to say. But this time too, Dio could not hear Kalphael¡¯s answer. Duung ¨C The lute vibrated with a low, deep note. And Kalfael¡¯s face as he played it also turned serious. Wooooow ¨C Leavitt, who was called paradise. The shell of the paradise that remained as a memory of the past began to peel away. As if the plating was peeling off. The dancing butterflies turned into powder, and the stream with clear water dried up in an instant. All plants, including trees, rotted and crumbled, and the wide field instantly became a sea of fire. And finally, a swamp that is soggy and unpleasant to look at. ¡®Leavitt¡¯s Swamp!¡¯ The world changed by Kalphael¡¯s magic matched the place Dio had imagined. As the beautiful and peaceful landscape crumbled, Leavitt¡¯s true appearance hidden within it was revealed. ¡®Right. This was the space I saw beyond the portal.¡¯ Dio swallowed his saliva and looked around his surroundings. ¡°We didn¡¯t create Leavitt out of thin air.¡± Crassus opened his mouth to Dio. ¡°The paradise we knew no longer exists. Now Leavitt is the devil¡¯s lair. Gaining experience here will be of great help to you.¡± Dio nodded at Crassus¡¯ explanation. ¡°All right. ¡°Where are the enemies?¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Crassus looked at Kalphael and nodded, giving a signal. ¡°Okay then, shall we go?¡± Pajijik- Intense sparks flew out from Kalfael¡¯s hands. Blah blah blah ¨C Ding ¨C The heavy melody returns once again. Kalphael¡¯s illusionary magic unfolded in this portal and began to draw out Rivit. The ground around Dio begins to crack. thud! thud! -Coooooooo! Twin-headed ogres and trolls began to appear from the cracked earth with a huge roar. Monsters didn¡¯t just come up from under the ground. Let¡¯s go! Cracks begin to appear in the empty space where there was nothing. Clink! -Koooooo! As if a glass window was broken, a Minotaur came out of it, wielding a halberd that was twice as big as Dio¡¯s. ¡®It seems a bit bigger than the monsters I¡¯ve seen?¡¯ Dio looked at the monster confronting him and made an evaluation. They seemed like monsters from a thousand years ago that Dio had never experienced. However, it was possible to guess the level. Twinhead Ogre and Troll are mid to late level 100. Minotaur is early level 200. Overall, they are monsters that are not at Dio¡¯s level, but slightly higher level than Dio. Dio, who realized that the intention was to treat him harshly, opened his mouth. ¡°Can we fight?¡± ¡°okay. The key to this battle will depend on how you use the power of the sun. ¡°Because they are powerless before the sun.¡± ¡°Good for you.¡± Dio took out his sword. ¡®Should I have brought a wider variety of weapons?¡¯ A Silver Arming Sword that is disappointing for level 200 Dio. However, because Dio suddenly raised a lot of levels, he was unable to bring a level 200 weapon. There were no good weapons in Estellum¡¯s warehouse to begin with. ¡®Still, it¡¯ll be okay if the new skill is compatible with them.¡¯ Dio stood in place and jumped lightly to warm himself up. -Coooooo! Without even having time to warm up, one of the trolls struck Dio with all his might with the iron club he was holding. Quang! The troll in front of him might be stronger than the trolls Dio knew, but even taking that into account, it was difficult for him to keep up with Dio¡¯s speed. Dio easily dodged the troll¡¯s beating and jumped up into the sky, swinging his sword at the troll¡¯s head. Push! The troll¡¯s head was literally evaporated by a forgotten sword technique imbued with the power of the sun. ¡®I¡¯m serious?¡¯ Crassus¡¯ words about being helpless against the power of the sun were true. As with most games, if the order board has an advantage in compatibility, its power is amplified several times. [245231 experience points were obtained.] Dio¡¯s eyes lit up at the system notification window that appeared at the same time as the troll fell. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡®Right. ¡®Are monsters more like summons than mere illusions?¡¯ So, you will gain experience like this. Above all, the amount of experience gained was significant. With this level of experience, you can quickly level up by catching just a few. -Coooooooo! ¡®Is this complete bullshit?¡¯ * * * Crassus watched Dio¡¯s movements carefully as he slaughtered the monsters created by Kalphael. ¡®There¡¯s something strange about that guy.¡¯ The key to the sun should not be harmed or killed, so a sparring match was held at a certain level¡­ If Crassus felt Dio, he thought that the demons summoned by Kalphael were sufficiently threatening. ¡®Did I estimate my strength wrong? No, that guy is getting stronger right now.¡¯ As Dio defeated monsters one after another, a brilliant light occasionally erupted. ¡®I can feel the energy of the goddess. As if the sun was protecting him.¡¯ Crassus, who had no way of knowing that this phenomenon was a level-up effect caused by the Sun¡¯s Blessing trait, stuck out his tongue. Although the Key of the Sun was growing stronger, it was very different from Crassus¡¯s intentions. I expected to be able to freely use the power of the sun and become accustomed to actual combat, just like when Sepia realized it¡­ but this is no different from massacre. Crassus, blinded by his experience, approached the rampaging Dio and called out to him. ¡°for a moment.¡± ¡°yes? ¡°I¡¯m busy right now.¡± ¡°¡­try wearing this.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Dio caught the item that looked like a bracelet or shackles thrown by Crassus and frowned. ¡°You are now oppressing your enemies with great strength. ¡°If you wear these shackles, you will not be able to use the power of the sun as you wish.¡± ¡°¡­All right.¡± Crassus¡¯s intention was to realize how to fight flexibly and effectively with minimal force. Dio, whether he knew this or not, without saying anything, put the shackles that Crassus had given him on his arms. ¡°Then keep going¡­¡± ¡°Coooooooo!¡± The moment Crassus tells him to continue, the twin-headed ogre rushes at Dio. The guy raised a large flail hammer and tried to hit Dio¡¯s head with it. however. Paang! As Dio¡¯s sword struck away the flail in an instant, the Ogre lost his balance and his posture was disturbed. ¡°island.¡± Boom! Afterwards, the forgotten sword technique [Island] is launched from Dio¡¯s sword. Kwagwagwagwa- ¡°Kuuuuuuu!¡± Due to its incredible power, the Twin Head Ogre¡¯s upper body disappeared without a trace. ¡®How on earth?¡¯ Crassus¡¯s mouth dropped open at the absurd sight. The guy was obviously wearing shackles. Didn¡¯t you see it right before your eyes? Literally ¡®shackles¡¯. Obviously, Dio wearing shackles will have a harder time feeling the power of the sun than usual. Because it was made that way in the first place. However, Dio¡¯s actions immediately shattered Crassus¡¯ expectations. No matter how key it is, does it mean that you immediately adapted to the suppressed power? Diri-ring~ The sound of Kalfael playing could be heard from next to him, but it did not reach Crassus¡¯s ears right now. ¡®Is this possible?¡¯ Crassus was busy thinking as he watched Dio demonstrating his abilities right before his eyes. ¡®Why did the key appear after a thousand years? If only someone with this level of ability had helped us back then¡­¡¯ Crassus questioned the sudden thought that occurred to him. What was Solari thinking? The day a thousand years ago when the sun was defeated and those who followed her lost everything. The believers wandered around looking for their own way to survive. Crassus himself accepted the fate of destroying the World Tree and continued his lonely fight. ¡®why?¡¯ Why didn¡¯t Solari say anything then? Did you think it would be a waste to use the grace given to that key on us? Crassus said to Dio, who also had doubts about Solari in Dio. ¡°Kalfael. ¡°Prepare as the strongest one.¡± ¡°Hehe, let¡¯s do that. ¡°Are you sure Mr. Crassus ordered you to do this?¡± Kalphael strummed his lute as if he had been waiting for Crassus¡¯ cold words. Diririririn- Nidhogg. Why did the sun goddess give the key to Nidhogg? And did he obediently hand it over to me? The great cause of carrying on the will of the World Tree must be Crassus himself. Why did the sun god give the key¡­ something was strange. Didn¡¯t you realize that Solari did not abandon the World Tree and the Elves from the holiness that Dio showed? The key is key to completing the great work of the seven stars. Wasn¡¯t the reason they were called here because Crassus recognized Dio as the key and God¡¯s representative? Why did I feel emotions that I had thought about thoroughly and made a decision to sort out¡­? Deering- Crassus was then able to hear Kalphael¡¯s performance clearly in his ears. ¡°you you?¡± Grinning ¨C Crassus realized as he looked at Kalphael smiling at him. That I fell victim to his delirium spell. ¡°Stop right now!¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s already too late.¡± Pajjijijik- A dazzling beam of light appeared behind Kalfael. The beam of light moved as if drawing a line in the air, and the shape it created was in the shape of a six-pointed star. Uuuuung ¨C Diririn~ The completed magic circle began to tremble like an aspen tree in response to Kalfael¡¯s performance. Suddenly, Kalfael¡¯s performance stopped for a moment. And the trembling magic circle also stopped. Huh- The magic circle drawn in the air instantly headed towards Dio. ¡°Is this a new experience?¡± However, Dio, who did not know that it was Kalphael¡¯s plan, stood in front of the magic circle without any worries. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 69 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 69Episode 69 After confirming that Dio had woken up, Roberto immediately went into the room he had used when he came to Temberg before. There were various materials and objects to aid Schuwald¡¯s alchemy, and Roberto organized them. Schuwald told him to rest in peace, but that didn¡¯t stop Roberto from wanting to help him. ¡®Dio¡¯s blood helped the master go on a rampage.¡¯ S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Roberto recalled Schuwald¡¯s rampage he had seen when fighting Luna¡¯s Inquisitor. ¡®Crasus helped, but the key¡¯s special blood clearly influenced the master.¡¯ Dio¡¯s blood needed to be studied a little more for Schuwald¡¯s sake, so Roberto began looking for tools to do so. Caw ¨C While he was busy, a crow came to Roberto and climbed onto his shoulder. ¡°hmm? ¡°Is this the sassy witch¡¯s familiar?¡± Caw ¨C A crow hovered over Roberto¡¯s head. ¡°what?¡± Roberto pretended to shoo away a crow with his hand when it was bothering him. Caw ¨C But Evelyn¡¯s familiar, still not backing down, avoided Roberto¡¯s hand and climbed on the doorknob of the room and continued to cry. ¡®Are you asking me to follow you outside?¡¯ I don¡¯t know what the reason was, but Roberto realized that the crow¡¯s behavior was calling him. ¡®I don¡¯t think he called me because he needed me.¡¯ A familiar takes it upon himself to be the owner¡¯s errand boy, but also asks people around him for help when the owner is in an emergency. Roberto thought that there was no way Eveline was looking for him on purpose, so he concluded that the familiar had come looking for him on his own. Of course, it¡¯s something people don¡¯t know about. ¡°good. Guide me. ¡°If you called me for something trivial, you better be prepared.¡± As Roberto spoke, the crow flew out of the open door and guided him to the end of the hallway. Caw ¨C The crow croaked while sitting in front of the spiral staircase that allowed you to go back and forth between floors at Roberto¡¯s speed. ¡®Downstairs?¡¯ Roberto started following the crow down into the basement. And before he knew it, Roberto had come down to the floor where the usurper¡¯s room was and met an unexpected person in the hallway. ¡°Mr. Sepia?¡± ¡°uh? ¡°Mr. Roberto?¡± Roberto, who did not know that Sepia was being trained by Crassus here, bowed his head towards her. After a brief greeting, Roberto tried to ask about Evelyn¡¯s whereabouts, but for some reason, Sepia¡¯s expression was unusual. Sepia, whose eyes were wide open, seemed unable to accept the situation she was facing with Roberto. ¡°Why are you doing that?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you just go into the room with Master just now?¡± ¡°yes?¡± Roberto couldn¡¯t understand Sepia¡¯s words. The teacher that Sepia is talking about is definitely Evelyn. ¡°What does that mean? Are you saying I came here with Evelyn?¡± ¡°Obviously¡­¡± Sephia nodded at Roberto¡¯s words and recalled the events that had just happened. Crassus and Kalphael went to the virtual space to observe Dio¡¯s training in the usurper¡¯s room. Sepia, who had finished training first, was about to go back to her room to rest. When I had just come out of the usurper¡¯s room, I met Roberto and Eveline. At Schuwald¡¯s order, they headed to the portal created by Kalphael after telling Crassus that they had some business to do. ¡°What is that¡­?¡± Caw-! A crow began to caw as if to tell Roberto, who felt uncomfortable with Sepia¡¯s explanation, to hurry up. ¡°this!¡± ¡°What on earth is going on?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. But I haven¡¯t heard anything from Master Schuwald.¡± ¡°Then who on earth is this Roberto I met?¡± ¡°We have to find out about that now.¡± In response to Sepia¡¯s question, Roberto spoke urgently and looked at the crow calling to him. There was clearly something wrong with Evelyn¡¯s health and her familiar was asking for help. ¡°Sepia, please tell Schuwald about the situation here. ¡°I will go through the portal.¡± ¡°yes? But¡­¡± ¡°Please.¡± Leaving the embarrassed Sepia behind, Roberto followed the crow and headed to the usurper¡¯s room. Wow ¨C Roberto entered the usurper¡¯s room and was immediately able to discover the portal created by Kalphael. ¡®Who is the person who disguised himself as me and lured Evelyn in?¡¯ Roberto thought as he looked at the portal carefully. Temberg is the last bastion of the sun. The person who was up to something here was more likely to be internal rather than an external force. ¡®Among the seven stars, there is no one who can do something like this¡­¡¯ Roberto had not met all seven stars, but he was familiar with the stories about them from Schuwald. Schuwald even treated the harsh and cold Crassus with kind words. There was only one person whose true intentions he could not tell. Kalfael. ¡®¡­.¡¯ Roberto was worried. If the situation in which Evelyn fell through the portal was what the Seven Stars had intended. Is it really okay for him to get involved in this matter? ¡®I don¡¯t know what happens to that witch¡­¡¯ Evelyn was the worst from the first time we met. However, as I shared some of her story with Schuwald, I remembered his advice to be friendly. A little witch who endures an unfortunate past and devotes herself to her cursed teacher. Roberto felt a sympathy for her. -Roberto. Persimmon is an outstanding ability. If something happens, trust your senses. Roberto recalled the advice Schuwald always gave him. Now his senses are speaking. No, it doesn¡¯t have to be a feeling, but Evelyn¡¯s familiar is proving it by calling Roberto. That she is dangerous. ¡°Whew-¡± After taking a deep breath, Roberto seemed to have made a decision and took a step toward the portal. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ! Roberto¡¯s new model immediately began to be sucked into the portal. * * * ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Silver Bracelet of Binding] Grade: Special Category: Bracelet Level Restriction: 0 Special Effect: It becomes difficult for the wearer to handle all energy, including mana. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio accepted the bracelet Crassus gave him as training and grumbled to himself. ¡®Why should I take such a penalty?¡¯ It had been busy for a while. I wondered if Dio, who was so excited about using this opportunity to level up, would just ignore it and focus on hunting. But looking at Crassus¡¯s seriousness, I felt like I shouldn¡¯t refuse here. ¡®Is this how it comes out in such a shameful way? good. Then¡­¡¯ [You are wearing a silver bracelet of restraint.] [The player¡¯s sensitivity is reduced by 50% due to the item¡¯s effect.] When Dio wore the silver bracelet without hesitation, a penalty was imposed without mercy. The sensitivity that the system refers to is literally the sense of feeling all things that exist on the order board. This is a value that does not appear in the stat window and is also applied to the newly acquired power of the sun. ¡®Why did you make something like this?¡¯ On the order board, the value of sensitivity increases in proportion to physical strength and magical power. So, it can be said that high-level warriors and wizards have excellent sensitivity. For example, if you are a wizard, you can detect high-purity mana depending on your mana sensitivity. If mana handling becomes difficult due to limited sensitivity, even low-level magic that was originally easy to use will become difficult to use. However, that applies to NPCs who cannot use ¡®skills¡¯. ¡®I just need to use my skills and that¡¯s it.¡¯ It was Dio who, following Schuwald¡¯s teachings, sealed the skill¡¯s activation and directly used the power of the sun. However, if it is difficult to use that power because your sensitivity is low, you can just activate the sealed skill. If the option of the Silver Bracelet of Binding had granted a strong status abnormality such as ¡®silence¡¯, Dio would have had a very difficult time. But what about ¡®responsiveness¡¯? Quaaaaaaaaa! Immediately, the monsters on Dio¡¯s [Island] exploded into dust. ¡°what!?¡± Dio smiled to himself as he looked at Crassus, who had a surprised expression on his face at the sight before him. In fact, it would be difficult for him to understand that even though his power was limited by shackles, he always poured out the power of the sun. ¡°Where should I go on a rampage again?¡± Leaving behind the startled Crassus, Dio turned his shoulders and opened his mouth towards the charging monster. Shackles made by seven stars? What does that mean? I have a ¡®system¡¯. Dio, who seemed to have forgotten Schuwald¡¯s teachings, began violently chopping up monsters again. Kwasik- Boom! Quagwagwagwang! Dio received the grace of Solari and became the Great Warrior of the Sun, but now he was just a gamer blinded by the experience points in front of him. ¡°It¡¯s going up straight! ¡°There is absolutely no separate cow room!¡± Dio was reminded of the cow room from a certain game, which can be seen as a place where low-level players can get massive boosts. The mobs that constantly appear are clearly not weak, but they are no match for Dio, who has extreme power. ¡®If Sephia came here too¡­ it makes sense that she raised it to level 150.¡¯ If Sephia had not been taught the moves by Crassus and was thrown straight into battle like Dio, he might have achieved a much higher level. -Coooooo! -Krrrrr! Dio kicked the severed head of the Minotaur and smiled at the monsters that were summoned again. Whenever a monster dies, it reappears. Dio, whose hunting speed was faster than the time for monsters to respawn, leisurely looked around for a moment. Hwaak ¨C Dio, who was preparing to rampage again once the monsters had gathered to a certain extent, could see a beam of light coming from afar. ¡®Do you want to increase the difficulty level?¡¯ Dio looked at the magic circle created by the beam of light and quickly realized that it was a different type of summoning circle than the crack that summoned the demonic beasts. Dio, who guessed that Kalphael and Crassus would summon stronger monsters, looked at the magic circle floating in the air as if everything went well. ¡°Is this a new experience?¡± In front of the magic circle that had reached his eyes, Dio drew his sword. It seemed like he could briefly hear Crassus shouting urgently from afar, but Dio thought it was just a fuss. ¡®The stronger you are, the more experience you will receive.¡¯ Dio was thinking of the premise that the seven stars would never summon a monster strong enough to kill him. The reason the seven stars followed in the first place was for safety, but they thought Dio was just a strong enough enemy to struggle a bit. It was definitely going to be like that¡­. Pajijik! A spark of a strangely dark color passed by Dio¡¯s cheek. ¡®What is it?¡¯ Chiiik- Dio was embarrassed as he touched his cheek, which felt hot as if he had been burned. ¡®Is it a wizard type?¡¯ Dio broke into a cold sweat as the attack would have hit him directly in the face if he had not prepared in advance. Dio, who was only then able to properly check the enemy in front of him, forgetting about his experience points, could not help but be even more embarrassed. Jijijijik ¨C A woman who is trapped in a magic circle, emitting black sparks. Dio knew who that woman was. ¡°Eveline?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 70 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 70Episode 70: There are two main aspects of Evelyn that Dio remembers. They look like their bodies are drooping from exhaustion from research, or they run around like children when they discover something new. However, the appearance of Evelyn that appeared before Dio¡¯s eyes was not the two appearances mentioned above. Sparks of strong mana surrounded her , and black scales appeared on her pale skin, perhaps due to the excessively expressed power. ¡°Eveline? ¡°Is that you?¡± Dio called her name again. Sigh ¨C Dio frowned at the sight of Evelyn raising her hand instead of answering the question. ¡°If you¡¯re kidding, right now¡­¡± Shupat- ¡°Huh!?¡± A shadow blade shoots out from Evelyn¡¯s hand. In response, Dio bent his back and avoided it. Pajizizik- ¡®Damn, I¡¯m out of my mind.¡¯ When I looked closely at Evelyn¡¯s face, I saw that her eyes were out of focus. Dio stepped back to avoid Evelyn, who looked as if she was being brainwashed by someone. ¡®That bastard!¡¯ Dio cursed inwardly as he saw Kalfael waving his hand at him from a distance. Crassus grabbed Kalphael by the collar and shouted something, but Kalphael smiled and played his lute briefly. Then, Kalphael and the new form of Crassus that was holding him disappeared in an instant. Immediately after that, Kalfael¡¯s voice could be heard clearly in Dio¡¯s head. -This is the final gateway. Just in case, the girl in front of you is her. Dio wanted to scream, asking what he was doing, but Evelyn in front of him was not watching. Shoo shoo ¨C The sphere of darkness condensed in Evelyn¡¯s hand and headed towards Dio. A shadow ball whose power varies greatly depending on the user¡¯s abilities. It didn¡¯t just end up appearing in Evelyn¡¯s hands. Her shadow, imitating Evelyn¡¯s appearance, also activated the shadow ball just like the main body. ¡®Double order!¡¯ Quang! Quagwagwang! Dio flew away to avoid the shadow ball. Similar to the dual spells used by high-level wizards, wizards who manipulate shadows can use double spells. ¡®You have to be over level 300 to use double spells, right?¡¯ The Evelyn that Dio knew was a witch in the late 150s at most. Of course, taking into account the growth I have had since coming here. However, like Sepia, it is abnormal that she, who showed no signs of being trained by Crassus, has grown so dramatically. ¡®It looks like Kalphael did something¡­¡¯ Dio quickly identified the target. Evelyn was different from the demonic beasts that Dio had hunted so far. This does not mean that humans and non-human species are different. The demonic beasts were summoned creatures created by Kalfael, but the difference is that Evelyn is not a summoned creature. ¡®The message sent by Kalphael probably says this.¡¯ Dio gritted his teeth as he remembered Kalphael, who had disappeared as if to cheer him up. Who would have thought that the new summoning magic circle was a new portal that summoned Evelyn from outside. Liquid- Paba Bak! Dio quickly struck down the shadow arrow fired by Evelyn with his sword. ¡®You can¡¯t catch me at this level, right?¡¯ Dio thinks that Evelyn is currently around level 300. However, compared to Dio, who received Solari¡¯s blessing and gained a new class, it was not that difficult of an opponent. -Coooooo! ¡®Oh, there were these guys too.¡¯ I was so focused on Evelyn that I couldn¡¯t pay attention to the monsters that were flocking towards me. Dio turned around and used [Island] towards the monsters. Quagwagwagwang! The flames rising with a huge explosion engulfed the monsters. -Kaaaa! A Minotaur, who barely survived Dio¡¯s skill, jumped out from the flames. ¡°Coooooooo!¡± Doo doo doo doo ¨C Dio didn¡¯t even bother to run away from the Minotaur that was charging towards him with red, bloodshot eyes. ¡°Where?¡± thud! Even though the Minotaur hit Dio with all his might with the horns on his head, he didn¡¯t even move. ¡°Sigh.¡± This was not Dio who would be pushed by the monsters that survived the explosion. Dio grabbed the animal by its horns and pushed it backwards. Huh ¨C The huge Minotaur struggled in the sky without much strength. Sharp- A shadow blade that cuts off the waist of a Minotaur floating in the air. While Dio was taking care of the monsters, Evelyn used magic again. Spot ¨C Of course, Evelyn¡¯s magic was aimed at Dio, not the monsters, so Dio hit the ground and dodged the shadow blade. ¡®I need to subdue it first.¡¯ Evelyn¡¯s presence was quite a nuisance to Dio, who was trying to level up easily. Even if Evelyn was not an opponent that Dio could not defeat, he could not ignore her. The attack magic of a level 300 witch is a burden even for Dio. Evelyn¡¯s existence had to be resolved somehow. Tadak ¨C Dio ran towards her, dodging Evelyn¡¯s magic as a follow-up blow. Evelyn may have felt a sense of crisis, as a shadow whip erupted from her entire body and swung at Dio. Twaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ! The whips wielded by Evelyn and her shadow were constantly pushing Dio. Sugagagak-! Dio skillfully dodged the whips or cut them off with his sword and arrived right in front of Evelyn. ¡°Wake up, man!¡± bang! Dio¡¯s sharp blade struck Evelyn¡¯s head hard. ¡°Keck!¡± Evelyn, who was unable to respond to Dio who was approaching her, fell to the floor due to the impact on her head * * * ¡°Are you okay?¡± Looking at Evelyn¡¯s helpless state, Dio spoke awkwardly. Even considering that she was a witch with low durability, I had no idea that she would be incapacitated in one hit. My magical power may have become stronger, but I wondered if it was because my physical strength as a spellcaster remained the same. ¡°He¡¯s not dead, right?¡± Dio turned over Evelyn, who had fallen, and looked at her cheerful condition. He only lost consciousness for a moment due to the sudden shock, but his life did not seem to be in danger. ¡®Why did Kalfael make Evelyn and me fight?¡¯ Dio took advantage of Evelyn¡¯s silence to think about Kalfael¡¯s intentions. There were a few strange things that seemed to be for simple sparring purposes. If the purpose was to determine the level of strength, one of the seven stars would have to step forward. ¡®You¡¯re not trying to kill me.¡¯ Even though Evelyn fired magic as if she was going to kill him, Dio was not worthy of being hit like this. And there was no way Kalphael did not know this fact. ¡®Shall we first remove all obstacles?¡¯ Dio left Kalphael¡¯s plan behind and looked around to finish the hunt in front of him. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But¡­ ¡°What? ¡°Why can¡¯t I respawn?¡± Monsters clearly came out of the cracks that were being defeated. However, fortunately or unfortunately, Dio could only see an empty ribbit in his field of vision right now. ¡®Is the last time I defeated you earlier? Or maybe something has changed due to Evelyn¡¯s intrusion¡­¡¯ The moment when Dio feels a sense of discomfort about the Leavitt Swamp. Something rose from Evelyn¡¯s fallen shadow. Throwing ¨C A shadow spear passes by Dio¡¯s shoulder and soars into the sky. The shadow spear fired by Evelyn flew high into the sky and disappeared at some point. In response, Dio hurriedly grabbed Evelyn¡¯s arms. ¡®Have you not lost your mind?¡¯ I wondered if he would come to his senses if I hit his head. Evelyn woke up again and her eyes were still unfocused. Grumble- ¡°What is it?¡± Dio looked up at the sky at the sudden sound of thunder. Did the magic fired by Evelyn have any effect? High red sky. It was not Dio¡¯s illusion that the sky was gradually sinking. It wasn¡¯t just the sky. The horizon visible in the distance was also fragmenting and the space was gradually narrowing. ¡®Space is falling apart. ¡®Where¡¯s the exit?¡¯ Dio urgently looked around. There must be a portal space created by Kalfael¡­ but no matter how hard you search, there is no exit. As Kalphael took Crassus out of the space, it seemed like there was no exit. ¡®Damn¡­what will happen to me if it collapses like this? ¡®Could it be that I die?¡¯ At first, Dio thought there was no way the seven stars could kill him. But that wasn¡¯t it. Dio, who underestimated the seven stars too much, regretted his attitude. Kalfael. Although he was wary of this unpredictable guy, the power of the seven stars was like an unavoidable natural disaster to Dio. If I had known this would happen, I should have looked into more information about him¡­ Kugugugugugu- The ceiling of the sky continued to fall, and the vast land continued to collapse. It¡¯s like a collapsing dungeon. ¡®Dungeon?¡¯ A thought suddenly occurred to Dio, recalling the Dungeon of Order he had experienced. This space created by Kalphael was similar to the dungeon of Order. A dungeon that exists for the purpose of helping players grow. Among those dungeons, there was one that collapsed like this. Players can escape the dungeon by completing the given objectives. ¡®If we assume that this is also made with the same design as the dungeon.¡¯ Dio looked at Evelyn. The most basic device for escaping from a dungeon. That is, annihilating all enemies within the dungeon. ¡®¡­.¡¯ Dio realized. What kind of test did Kalphael give? You must kill your companions to escape. ¡®I knew his intention. Then what I have to do is¡­.¡¯ The situation where the collapsing space and the only way to escape were presented were all induced by Kalphael. So does Kalfael want the key to have a harsh judgment? It was easy to kill Evelyn right now. But is it really best to kill Evelyn and escape? There might be another way¡­ ¡®No. No matter how much I think about it, this is the only way.¡¯ Dio pressed down Evelyn¡¯s arms with his knees to prevent her from running wild. And he aimed the sword at her neck. ¡°¡­.¡± Dio looked at Evelyn¡¯s unfocused eyes. Thinking rationally, killing Evelyn and escaping is the only way for Dio to survive. But¡­ ¡®Kalfael. ¡®Is it right to do as this guy wants?¡¯ Dio didn¡¯t like this situation he had led to. This is a very nasty action for testing a key. ¡®If I believe and follow the words of the seven stars without any doubt¡­¡¯ It is absurd for Dio to blindly believe in them just because they have dedicated themselves to the sun for a thousand years. ¡®And if you kill Evelyn here, that¡¯s the problem.¡¯ Dio was well aware of the fact that the Witch of Balance¡¯s favorite student was Evelyn. What do I do if I pass Kalphael¡¯s test? The Witch of Balance might try to kill him. In order to obtain Sepia¡¯s class, you already have to complete the quest given by the Witch of Balance¡­ Ugh ¨C In front of Dio, who had mixed feelings about the situation, the space became distorted and a vortex-shaped crack appeared. ¡°What else?¡± Tung-! Dio wondered if the exit had opened, but unfortunately, the portal that appeared for a moment spit out a person and disappeared again. ¡°How did you get here?¡± Dio¡¯s eyes widened as he saw a new person intruding into Kalphael¡¯s space. ¡°Ugh, this place¡­uh! Dio? Evelyn?¡± Roberto was out of his mind after just escaping from the portal. He just made an incomprehensible expression as he looked at Dio, who was aiming his sword at Evelyn¡¯s neck. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 71 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 71Episode 71: Another space created by Kalfael. When Crassus arrived there, he became furious and did not let go of his grip on Kalphael¡¯s collar. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°calm down. Mr. Crassus.¡± Diririn~ Kalphael plays the lute calmly, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation. Crassus could not control his anger at such an attitude and struck down Kalphael¡¯s lute. Ding ¨C Even though the playing stopped and the sound of the string being cut echoed around the area, Kalphael¡¯s playful smile still did not disappear. ¡°You brainwashed Calliope¡¯s disciple! ¡°I don¡¯t know what you did¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to miss out on fun things just because I¡¯m afraid of her.¡± Sigh ¨C Unable to hold back any longer, Crassus¡¯ hand reached towards Kalphael. However, Crassus¡¯s fist could not reach Kalphael. Just before Crassus¡¯s fist touches Kalphael. Kalfael¡¯s new form disappeared in an instant and moved behind Crassus. ¡°Mr. Crassus, you probably know this well, right? This is a world I created. ¡°No matter how strong the seven stars are, they will not be able to do anything to me here with force.¡± There was a sound like Crassus¡¯s teeth were grinding and then breaking. ¡°Your actions now are tantamount to breaking the Walpurgis Night agreement!¡± ¡°calm down. I will accept the punishment for that. Of course, not now, but later.¡± Kalphael said, snapping his fingers. ¡°gibberish! If what you have done now causes the Key and Calliope¡¯s disciple to go wrong¡­¡± Pajijijik ¨C A powerful force gathered in the hands of Crassus. Kalfael knew what he was trying to summon now. ¡°Whoa¡­ Mr. Crassus. ¡°Let¡¯s not be tired by ourselves.¡± ¡°If you take care of the situation, it will be easily resolved.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take a look at this first.¡± If Crassus went any further than this, even Kalphael would be in trouble, so he waved his hand lightly. A puddle of water formed on the floor due to Kalphael¡¯s manipulation of space. Crassus was able to see the images of Dio and Eveline reflected in a pool of water. ¡°Shall we talk about old times for a moment?¡± ¡°¡­Once upon a time?¡± ¡°A thousand years ago. ¡°We, the seven stars, were the shield that protected the sun and the sword that judged its enemies.¡± Kalfael continued speaking, summoning his lute that Crassus had thrown away. Diriring~ ¡°Of course, there were many outstanding talents among believers who were not included in our seven stars.¡± ¡°What do you want to talk about? ¡°Get to the point!¡± ¡°Do you remember the being who was naturally called the strongest among all believers in the sun?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± The Great Warrior of the Sun. Crassus could not have known who Kalphael was talking about. In his path, any enemy had no choice but to kneel, and no one could stand against his power. ¡°I think about it sometimes.¡± Diriririn ¨C Kalfael, who remembered the strength of the Great Warrior, spoke with deep emotion. ¡°What if he hadn¡¯t left us like that?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t we have won?¡± ¡°He was¡­honorable and noble. A sacrifice for us¡­¡± ¡°That sacrifice!¡± Ding! The soft melody of the lute became violent. As if it represents Kalphael¡¯s feelings. ¡°Was it really right for the great warrior to sacrifice himself? ¡°He who is the strongest and more important than anyone else?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°If he had been a little more cool-headed¡­ if one of us had sacrificed himself instead¡­¡± ¡°The Great Warrior is the sword of the Goddess. Do not go against His will.¡± Crassus spoke strongly as if he would not be deceived by Kalphael¡¯s words. ¡°oh! So where are we now? Mr. Crassus. ¡°Others may not know, but don¡¯t you deserve to be dissatisfied?¡± The sun has set and the world tree of the elves has become corrupted. Crassus could not bear to make excuses for Kalfael¡¯s words. Even though he was deceived by Kalphael, Crassus had some dissatisfaction with Solari in his heart. ¡°I believe Mr. Crassus knows very well that the key will grow into the path of a great warrior.¡± Tiring~ The lute¡¯s melody has returned to its original state. ¡°I am curious. ¡°I wonder if our key will show the same actions as the great warrior from a thousand years ago¡­or¡­¡± Kalphael looked at the puddle, excited as a child. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Personally, I hope the key is different from the Great History of a thousand years ago.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know that your prank could break the key? ¡°That¡¯s all the nonsense, Kalphael!¡± Crunch! Crassus tightened his hands as if he didn¡¯t need to hear any more, but Kalphael, who had anticipated this, acted faster. Threads sticking out of the air wrapped around Crassus¡¯s wrists and legs and pulled him into the cracked space. ¡°Huh!?¡± ¡°Concentrate. ¡°Now is the important part.¡± Dio, reflected in the puddle, was pointing a knife at the neck of Evelyn, whom he had subdued. ¡°How will our great warriors overcome this adversity? Let¡¯s watch.¡± Deering~ Will you let go of your personal feelings and survive? Or will you abandon your destiny and choose death together? Kalfael began to sing. However, his song did not last long. This was because an unexpected person entered the space created for D.O. ¡°That guy¡­?¡± Kalfael recognized Schuwald¡¯s squire Roberto, and his smile, which had been smiling all along, stiffened for an instant. ¡°Oh¡­are you an uninvited guest? ¡°It looks like he came through the portal connected to Mr. Crassus¡¯ room.¡± A portal that did not close quickly enough to send Evelyn into space. I never thought Schuwald¡¯s squire would follow him¡­ But it didn¡¯t seem like it would be a big problem. Neither Schuwald nor his squire can do anything to the world he created. * * * Roberto entered the space created by Kalphael through the portal in the usurper¡¯s room. It was difficult for him to immediately accept the situation unfolding before his eyes. ¡°Dio? ¡°What are you doing now?¡± ¡°How did you come here?¡± Dio lowered his sword while suppressing Evelyn. Only then did Roberto realize that Evelyn¡¯s condition was not normal. Roberto, who had a rough understanding of the situation here, quickly explained to Dio why he had come here. ¡®Ivelyn came thanks to Kalphael¡¯s illusion magic.¡¯ Anyway, it was surprising that Roberto noticed this and chased after him. Is this what Schuwald meant when he said he had a good sense? ¡°As you can see, it¡¯s an urgent situation.¡± Dio opened his mouth, pointing to the collapsing sky and horizon. ¡°It seems to me that this space and Evelyn are related.¡± ¡°I see¡­an advanced illusion magic that can cause materialization. Evelyn seems to have already assimilated into the world created by Kalphael.¡± Roberto nodded as if he agreed with Dio¡¯s guess, but he looked at Evelyn with anxious eyes. ¡°So¡­are you planning to kill Evelyn?¡± ¡°I¡¯m thinking about it.¡± Dio gave an ambiguous answer to Roberto¡¯s question. ¡°Ibelin was taken advantage of. ¡°I don¡¯t think we should follow Kalfael¡¯s will.¡± Roberto often quarreled with Evelyn, but he seemed to have an ill will towards her and showed an attitude of trying to protect her. ¡®This guy doesn¡¯t like Kalfael either.¡¯ Moreover, Dio was relieved to see that Roberto, who always treated the Seven Stars with honorifics, showed strong hostility toward Kalphael. If Roberto had urged the Seven Stars to do what they were doing, Dio would have had no choice but to kill Evelyn. However, through his words and actions, Dio once again reminded himself that he is not a monster. ¡°good. Then you have to find another way. Do you have any good plans?¡± ¡°Sepia must have gone to ask Master Schuwald for help. If I just hold on like this for just a little longer¡­¡± Rumbling- rumbling- rumbling- rumbling- rumbling- Before Roberto could finish his words, the heavens and earth shook and the sound of thunder became even louder. ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°I guess I¡¯ll have to pray for Mr. Schuwald to hurry up.¡± Dio muttered as he looked at the space that could no longer be called the Leavitt Swamp. Dio looked at the sky. Judging by his gaze, there was only about 10 meters left until the red sky completely fell. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t we all just wait quietly and end up dead?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that there is no way.¡± ¡°what? Is there a way? So what are you doing? Without saying anything quickly!¡± When Roberto spoke hesitantly, Dio hurriedly urged him on. ¡°I have heard about Kalphael¡¯s abilities from my master. He is a powerful wizard who can turn illusions into reality. ¡°We are in the middle of the world created by Kalphael.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I know it when I see it.¡± Dio responded bluntly to a story he also knew. However, the main point that Roberto wanted to say was different. ¡°Just because it¡¯s materialized doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s real. This is a world created by Kalphael¡¯s magic. ¡°In a world made of mana, a mana core exists.¡± What Roberto explained was a story that Dio also knew. Among the dungeons on the order board, there is a dungeon core. In other words, there is a way to destroy the dungeon core and escape. However, even if you know a simple way to destroy the nucleus and escape, it is all meaningless if you cannot find the location of the nucleus. ¡°How do you find the mana core in this large place?¡± Roberto hurriedly opened his mouth at Dio¡¯s angry words. ¡°I will be able to find the location of the core using my blood magic. But¡­¡± Roberto continued to say that he could solve Dio¡¯s problem, but he hesitated for some reason and trailed off. ¡°It would be difficult for Dio or my abilities to destroy the mana core created by Kalphael. ¡°If you want to destroy the magic system he created, you must be someone with at least equal or greater skill¡­¡± There was a reason why Roberto did not bring up this method to Dio earlier. Kalfael¡¯s magic created a dungeon-like space. The method of destroying the mana core to destroy it varies greatly in difficulty depending on who is casting the magic. Roberto knew because he had heard it from Schuwald. In order to respond to the magic of Kalfael, a 9th Circle skilled person, you must have a skill comparable to him. ¡°find.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Roberto, who thought Dio would give up immediately after hearing his story, questioned the unexpected answer. ¡°Right Now!¡± ¡°Yes yes!¡± Roberto immediately put his hands on the floor as Dio shouted. Is there some way? ¡®It is said to be a key approved by the master, but¡­¡¯ The only magic Dio used was to use fire and light by drawing on the power of the sun. To counter the magic of Kalfael, who is a master of mental magic, which is reputed to be the most complex and difficult in magic¡­ ¡°Stop thinking about nonsense!¡± ¡°Oh yeah!¡± As Dio shouted again, Roberto came out of his thoughts and began to concentrate. Paaat ¨C The blood coming out of Roberto¡¯s hands began to stain the ground. The flowing blood began to spread throughout the earth as if searching for a vein. ¡®The search range is not that wide. Space is collapsing around Dio. If a mana core exists, it certainly isn¡¯t that far away. Then¡­¡¯ Roberto¡¯s blood magic was insignificant compared to Kalphael¡¯s, but it was able to at least search for the location of the mana core. Incident ¨C Roberto¡¯s blood, which had spread everywhere, eventually began to quickly gather in one place. ¡°excuse me¡­!¡± Roberto, who discovered the mana core, pointed with his finger. That place is none other than the place where Evelyn lies. It was located right in front of Dio. Dio also nodded, looking at the red light shining at Evelyn¡¯s struggling bedside. I never thought it would be this close. I should have held on to Evelyn as well, but it was a fortunate thing in an emergency situation. ¡°Dio?¡± Roberto looked at Dio strangely as he searched for something in his inventory and called out to him. However, Dio, who was busy looking at the inventory list, did not say anything. Coo coo coo coo- ¡°Huh!?¡± Is it too late? The collapsing sky has now come down to the point where you can reach it if you jump high. Kugungkugung! Kurrrrr- If the end of the world comes, this might be the phenomenon. Roberto was unable to maintain proper balance on the shaking ground and fell. ¡°Dio! ¡°Hurry. We have to hurry!¡± ¡°found!¡± Dio shouted, still ignoring Roberto who was calling to him urgently. The only item that can overcome this situation. That¡¯s it¡­ Boom! Dio pushed Evelyn¡¯s struggling face away and slammed the item he found on the floor without delay. Paaaaaaa! A dazzling sphere of light exploded. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 72 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 72Episode 72: Roberto didn¡¯t know what the object Dio took out of subspace was. An arrowhead shining in gold. The shape of a snake decorating the arrow shaft as if it were twisted. You can tell that it¡¯s an unusual item at a glance, but what on earth are you going to do with it? Leaving behind Roberto, whose doubts were rising, Dio took out the legendary weapon Nidhogg in his hand. ¡®It won¡¯t work out the way you want, Kalfael.¡¯ Nidhogg handed over to Crassus. In addition to that, there was a remainder of Nidhogg in Dio¡¯s inventory. Why? ¡®I didn¡¯t just defeat Crassus once.¡¯ Nidhog is a legendary weapon with the incredible option of destroying the scepter that is the source of mana. According to the story, it is powerful enough to destroy even the world tree. Much less destroying the mana core of the space created by Kalphael is not even a task. ¡®long time no see. Was the last time you used it to block a red dragon¡¯s magic?¡¯ Dio, who had been using Nidhogg for the first time in a long time, smiled with appreciation. The only requirement to use Nidhogg is the ability related to the stats. As long as your Dexterity Intelligence Mana stat reaches 200, you are eligible to use Nidhogg. It was a figure that could not have been easily created by the old D.O., who had to think carefully about even raising his stats. However, this does not apply to D.O. today. Dio¡¯s current level is 250. In addition to the bonus points remaining at level 200, Solari¡¯s blessing has boosted the number of points that Dio can use. Kugugugugu- In the meantime, Kalphael¡¯s space continues to collapse. Without delay, Dio plunged Nidhogg into the mana core located at Evelyn¡¯s bedside. Sigh! Nidhogg¡¯s poison swallowed up the mana core embedded in the ground at once. Deddudedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd ! ¡°Robetro! ¡°Get down!¡± After a blindingly intense ball of light exploded. Dazzling flashes of light rising from beneath the ground began to erupt in all directions, and the world that had been shaking began to shake even more violently. Kwagwagwagwagwa! The eye of the typhoon that appeared where Dio and Evelyn were. ¡°Ugh!?¡± After hearing Dio¡¯s words, Roberto fell flat on the ground to avoid the raging typhoon. thud! The sinking sky and the earth collapsing deep into the ground stopped for an instant. When the mana core was destroyed, the function of the space designed by Kalphael stopped. Coo coo coo coo! Kalfael¡¯s magic was completely nullified by Nidhogg. Now this space cannot cause any harm or interference to Dio and his companions. It ¡®s not like the world is falling apart . The space that made up the world was cracked like a crack in a glass window. Clink! In this way, the Libit Swamp created by Kalphael was completely shattered. ¡°Kalphael, where has this bastard gone?¡± * * * ¡°What the hell is this?¡± Crassus opened his mouth as something unbelievable was happening. Dio¡¯s unconventional move of using Nidhogg to destroy space itself. This also affected the space where Kalphael and Crassus were watching. Ting-! ¡°¡­.¡± The threads binding Crassus were broken. Crassus immediately realized that Kalphael¡¯s magic had been neutralized. Pabat-! Crassus, who was free, hurriedly attacked Kalphael, who was watching the situation with him. ¡°Kalfael!¡± Pop! To prevent Kalphael from causing any trouble again, Crassus grabbed Kalphael¡¯s neck and knocked him to the floor. thud! ¡°¡­.¡± Contrary to the expectations of Crassus, who thought he would definitely resist, Kalphael was somehow just subdued calmly. Crassus, feeling doubtful about this, looked at Kalphael¡¯s face. And I could see it. His expression didn¡¯t look like he was going to do something fun or do some kind of prank. ¡°Kalfael?¡± Crassus thought Kalphael, who was full of joy, strange, and called him. Just like the shattered Leavitt Swamp, this place is also starting to crack. Nevertheless, Kalphael was laughing like a crazy person. ¡°Hahahahaha!¡± * * * Kalphael thought he understood at a glance what kind of person Dio was. On the outside, pretend not to know anything. However, he himself is endlessly wary and suspicious of his opponents. A person who pursues only practicality and can make cool-headed decisions in all situations. That was Dio. A thousand years ago, he led the army of the sun. A personality that is completely opposite to that of Daejeon, who was expressed through altruism, kindness, charity, and sacrifice. So Kalphael had expectations. Kalfael was planning to kill Dio if he messed up his personal interests like he did with the great warriors of the past. It¡¯s no fun relying on hopes that have no possibility. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was far more valuable for Kalphael to find other fun things than to waste time on meaningless hopes. You might not know. If you kill the key, another key will appear. Dio had a very outstanding mind, but he was not as strong as the Great Warrior. We may not know in the future, but at least not now. Kalfael was convinced that there was no escape from the virtual space he had put so much effort into creating. A crossroads of choice that takes place within a limited time. And the only way to get out of this is to sacrifice your comrades. I¡¯m sure that¡¯s the only way¡­ But what if. What if¡­. The great warrior who sacrificed himself a thousand years ago. The great warrior who was the strongest among us. What if you were stronger without having to sacrifice? A greater power on top of a greater power. What if the great warrior was a being who could use power at a much higher level than the power he possessed? Wasn¡¯t there a need to make sacrifices? Just like D.O. looks like right now. His strength is still weak. However, the method he showed was a new one that Kalfael had never seen before. It¡¯s so fun. How long has it been since this? It was the first time since the Holy Demon War a thousand years ago that something so exciting had happened. Clang- clack- clack! The space was completely broken and Crassus and Kalphael returned to reality. After escaping from the space, they were moved back to the usurper¡¯s room. And nearby, like Crassus and Kalphael, were Dio¡¯s companions who had escaped from the Libit Swamp. ¡°Do you know what you just did!?¡± Kalfael, who had been suppressed by Crassus and could not move, grinned when he noticed Schuwald angry at him. ¡°haha. ¡°I can¡¯t believe the monk is so angry.¡± ¡°This guy!¡± Schuwald realized that there was no use in arguing with Kalphael, and looked at the condition of Evelyn, who had escaped from the portal. The portal broke and his appearance returned to normal. Although he fainted, his breathing was normal. After a moment of rest, Schuwald opened his mouth. ¡°You will be formally reprimanded for what you did through Walpurgis Night.¡± Despite Schuwald¡¯s reprimand, Kalfael did not say anything. I was just enjoying this situation, which had become more interesting than I thought. * * * ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°Yeah, well¡­¡± Dio, who had safely escaped from Kalfael¡¯s space, answered, shaking off a lot of dust. ¡°Thanks to Roberto¡¯s help, we were able to find a solution.¡± Currently, there were only Schuwald, Dio, and Roberto in the usurper¡¯s room. Kalphael was taken somewhere by Crassus, and Evelyn, who fainted for a moment after the illusion magic was released, was taken to the infirmary by Sepia. ¡°Roberto?¡± ¡°I think I know why Old Man Ye said he has good persimmons.¡± If Roberto hadn¡¯t followed Evelyn, if he hadn¡¯t found the location of the mana core. Now, Dio was never safe. ¡°Oh no. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything.¡± Unlike Dio, Roberto looked quite dizzy due to the aftereffects of the portal he came through. Still, since the condition was not as serious as Evelyn¡¯s, Roberto was able to tell Schuwald everything that had happened. ¡°¡­okay. Good job. Roberto.¡± ¡°young. ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were this worried about Evelyn?¡± ¡°What! It¡¯s not like that. ¡°I¡¯m such a cocky witch¡­¡± ¡°Hehe, are you still saying that?¡± ¡°¡­sorry.¡± ¡°Okay. ¡°It must have been a difficult incident for you to handle¡­go and rest.¡± ¡°yes.¡± Roberto immediately lowered his head at Schuwald¡¯s benevolent tone. Now that Roberto has left, the only people left in the usurper¡¯s room are Dio and Schuwald. ¡°I feel sorry for you. ¡°Kalfael has always been a man who knows where he will go, but I never thought he would cross the line.¡± ¡°I¡¯d like to hear that guy¡¯s story someday.¡± ¡°You¡¯re surprisingly calm. ¡°I thought you would be angry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m angry.¡± I really almost died, but there was no way I wouldn¡¯t feel bad towards Kalfael. In fact, as soon as I got out of Leavitt, I tried to run to Kalphael, but I had to stop because I was already being scolded by Crassus and Schuwald. Dio thought that Kalphael, like Crassus, had some kind of background. In the end, Kalphael is also one of the seven stars. ¡®There was no malice in the action itself.¡¯ What he did this time was not because of bad feelings, but because he wanted to test something. ¡°Kalphael will severely punish you through Walpurgis Night.¡± ¡°All right.¡± For some reason, it seemed like Kalfael would get into trouble again soon, but Dio agreed with Schuwald¡¯s words without much disagreement. I was a little curious about what kind of punishment the seven stars would receive, but it wasn¡¯t enough to ask questions. Being punished itself is important. It is true that he put me in danger, but the status of the seven stars cannot be ignored. Now, the power of one person is desperately needed to deal with the Demon King and Luna. It is an ambiguous situation to abandon an outstanding being like Kalphael. Since it was better to leave it to the other seven stars here, Dio decided to pay no attention to Kalphael for the time being. ¡°Now that I think about it, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen you since you woke up.¡± ¡°Elder Ye, is your body okay now?¡± ¡°Even though I am old, my body is still strong.¡± Schuwald laughed at Dio¡¯s greetings. ¡°What are you going to do now? ¡°It looks like we¡¯ve reached the mural.¡± ¡°I think I need to meet the Witch of Balance.¡± ¡°Caliope. Her?¡± Schuwald asked back as if he was surprised by Dio¡¯s answer. ¡°yes. Where is she now?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. ¡°Because he has a very strong sense of wanderlust.¡± ¡°Then I can go see you.¡± ¡°I understand. Are you visiting because of Evelyn?¡± ¡°There¡¯s that too¡­I need to meet all seven stars.¡± ¡°Right.¡± Schuwald simply nodded without asking for further details. The key to reaching the mural is recognized by Solari. Schuwald, thinking that the path he was taking was the goddess¡¯s will, tapped Dio on the shoulder. ¡°I know how heavy the burden you are carrying.¡± ¡°you¡¯re welcome.¡± Dio, who did not have a good view of the Seven Stars, felt fortunate to have Schuwald. Even now, when Kalphael causes trouble, doesn¡¯t he come running to you at once? ¡°I have one favor to ask of you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not asking for blood, are you?¡± ¡°Haha, it would be nice to get some of that too.¡± Schwald joked back at Dio¡¯s words, but for some reason Dio didn¡¯t think he was joking. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it.¡± ¡°I mean Roberto.¡± ¡°yes. ¡°Why him?¡± ¡°I hope he joins you on your journey.¡± Dio looked curious at Schuwald¡¯s suggestion, which got to the point. ¡°What about Roberto?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I think it would be good for that child to expand her knowledge by wandering the world like a little witch.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Dio thought of Roberto. A vampire who doesn¡¯t seem to have much experience yet. However, it was clear that Dio¡¯s keen sense of accurately recognizing the moment of crisis would be of great help to Dio depending on the situation. Just like solving Kalphael¡¯s magic. If he joins the party, he might be able to play his part, but¡­ ¡°What are you going to do, old man? ¡°If you don¡¯t have Roberto, it¡¯s hard to get blood during the full moon, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I woke up and did nothing. You and Sepia¡¯s blood. As a result of researching this, great progress has been made in ways to curb excessive drinking.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°So don¡¯t worry. It would be better if I or Crassus could join you on your journey, but it looks like we¡¯ll be busy too. ¡°There is also Kalphael¡¯s matter¡­¡± Schuwald thought for a moment and muttered as if he was talking to himself. ¡°Anyway, I was convinced after seeing Roberto¡¯s performance this time. That child will be a great help to you on your journey. Of course, you can watch his growth as well.¡± ¡°¡­I understand.¡± When Schuwald asked for something like this, Dio had no reason to refuse. ¡°I thought you would say that. So are you going to leave right away?¡± Dio was lost in thought for a moment in response to Schuwald¡¯s question. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any need to urgently meet Calliope. Moreover, we have not yet been able to explore all the places in Temberg. ¡®I¡¯m going to pull out as much as possible.¡¯ Dio has raised a huge level in the space of Kalphael. But he was still hungry. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 73 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 73Episode 73: Dio had a week to prepare for his journey to find the Witch of Balance. During that time, Dio was busy. I wandered around Temberg to see if there was anything else. As a result, Dio was able to gain meaningful knowledge experience again. However, I didn¡¯t get anything great like when I discovered the mural and met Solari. ¡®Kalfael¡¯s space was honey.¡¯ It is unknown to what level monsters Kalfael can summon. However, Dio¡¯s judgment was that if he was at the level he appeared in the Leavitt Swamp, he could quickly reach level 300. ¡®But it¡¯s not a good idea to visit the imprisoned Kalfael again.¡¯ Contacting Kalfael, who was like a time bomb, without knowing what he would do next, was not a good choice. Schuwald said that he and Crassus would watch during the next Walpurgis Night. ¡®If I become strong enough that Kalphael can¡¯t do anything to him¡­¡¯ Then, you can ask him again. No, by then there might not be anything to ask for. Anyway, Dio¡¯s current level was 251. It was a level that gathered all of Temberk¡¯s knowledge experience points. Moreover, Dio was not the only one who grew up. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Party member] [Sepia / ??? / Lv183] [Eveline / Shadow Witch / Lv196] [Roberto / Vampire / Lv203] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Just like when Dio formed a party with mercenaries from Evra Village, the party members and had officially formed a party. Evelyn, who had been the victim of Kalphael¡¯s trick, lamented her own shortcomings and devoted herself to improving her abilities along with Sephia. Roberto also accepted Schuwald¡¯s order to join Dio and focused on developing his abilities rather than research. Although they could no longer receive Kalphael¡¯s help, Crassus and Schuwald took turns training them. ¡®The composition isn¡¯t bad.¡¯ Dio gave a short review of the newly formed party members. I didn¡¯t expect much from the combative side that Roberto has shown so far, but he is surprisingly suited to close combat. The characteristics of the vampire race are that they have superior basic specifications compared to humans. Although his teacher and master, Schwald, is a werewolf, he has lived for over a thousand years. Schuwald taught Roberto the fighting skills he had mastered during his time as a monk, and also taught him his knowledge of blood magic. ¡®If it¡¯s martial arts and blood magic, it¡¯s right to bring them to the front line.¡¯ Among wizards, the only magic that can perform a close combat role is blood magic. Blood Shield, which can absorb the target¡¯s blood to recover stamina or defend against attacks, boasts high efficiency among shield-type magic. ¡®I think it would be best for me and Roberto to stay in the front line¡­ Evelyn should be in the back as expected.¡¯ Evelyn, who was under Kalphael¡¯s illusion magic, showed strength beyond her abilities. Once the magic was broken, it was difficult to use shadow magic at that level again, but using the power once seemed to have helped a lot, and her shadow magic was much improved than before. As a result, she was a help in being brainwashed. ¡®I¡¯ll have to look for equipment that suits them. Roberto increases tanking¡­Is Evelyn an intelligence-related item that can increase magic power?¡¯ There were no suitable items in my current inventory to give them. However, Dio¡¯s warehouse, which had experience raising classes similar to theirs, was overflowing with items needed for his colleagues. In addition, I now have the Sun¡¯s Blessing skill, which makes inventory space infinite. It is not difficult to take care of all the equipment of your colleagues. If the party were so fully armed, they would be able to double their current strength. ¡®And Sepia¡­¡¯ Now Sepia has grown to the point where it is no longer subject to protection. Although Dio gave her the basics of using a bow, Sepia also showed insane talent in close combat. Sephia and Roberto once faced each other in the training room as a friendly sparring. Sephia boldly abandoned the bow and engaged in close combat with Roberto, and the sparring ended with Sephia winning by decision. Dio had known since Sephia fought against the orcs that she was not weak even in close quarters. Sephia, who did not match Roberto¡¯s strength but had an advantage in agility, defeated Roberto using modern fighting techniques taught by Dio. ¡®You can see it as it goes up.¡¯ Right now, she¡¯s using the bow as her main weapon, but Dio assured her that she would be good at using most weapons. In that case, another task Dio had was to find the most suitable weapon. With this, the group¡¯s reorganization ended and Dio once again summarized the future destination. ¡®Eastern Continent.¡¯ This is the area where the Witch of Balance is active, as Dio remembers. When he first thought about this, D.O. had one problem and couldn¡¯t come up with a plan. That means we don¡¯t know where Temberk, where Dio and the others are, is right now. The ironic situation is that the destination is clear, but the current location is unknown. Of course, this problem was easily resolved through Schuwald¡¯s conversation. -Temberg is the last fortress of the sun. This place is closely hidden and is the only place that has escaped Luna¡¯s eyes for a thousand years. -With magic? -That¡¯s right. Kalfael¡­I guess it¡¯s thanks to him. That¡¯s why he can¡¯t leave this place as the custodian of the murals. One way or another, it was clear that although Kalphael was causing trouble, the seven stars would not easily dismiss him. anyway. According to Schuwald, the hidden Temberk can be released through an artifact created by Kalphael. -The Seven Stars use artifacts to attend Walpurgis Night. Thanks to this, you can easily come and go from the surrounding areas to this place. -So you can meet Calliope right away? -That friend installed the artifact in a place far away from his base in the eastern region. They say they did it for security reasons¡­ but from a personal perspective, she doesn¡¯t seem very bothered by our meeting. -Is that so? -It looks like he¡¯s busy traveling around the East, but I don¡¯t know exactly what he¡¯s doing. After finishing his reminiscence, Dio was lost in thought. Schuwald says that it won¡¯t be easy to find the Witch of Balance. But Dio wasn¡¯t worried about this. ¡®Because I know where Calliope is.¡¯ The problem is what to do in the eastern region before and after meeting her. Cities with warehouses and even hidden pieces that Dio remembers. And¡­ ¡®I need to find that guy.¡¯ * * * ¡°Are you done with your business?¡± Schuwald opened his mouth to Dio, who had completed all preparations. The place where Dio was now was in a room located on the top floor of Temberg. A huge arch-shaped door located in the center of the building. This was the gate connected to the artifact of the seven stars. Dio and the others were saying goodbye to Schuwald, who had come to meet them in front of the gate. ¡°yes. ¡°Everything is ready.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I believe there will be no problem with you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! ¡°I will grow further and return to my master.¡± Roberto spoke confidently in response to Schuwald¡¯s words. Although Roberto joined Dio¡¯s group at Schuwald¡¯s suggestion, he himself thought it was a good opportunity to increase his strength. ¡°okay. ¡°Little witch, don¡¯t be too upset about what happened in the past.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± ¡°It would be a good idea to say hello to Calliope.¡± ¡°yes. ¡°I will tell you that you are in good health.¡± Evelyn was depressed for a while because she was affected by Kalphael¡¯s illusion magic. In the process, he seemed to have decided on something and answered Schuwald with a spirited attitude. ¡°sepia. ¡°Me and Crassus couldn¡¯t fully unleash your power, but Calliope will take care of it.¡± ¡°Thank you for your concern.¡± ¡°Caliope deals with mysterious magic that we don¡¯t know about. ¡°It¡¯s a different type of magic than Kalfael.¡± Schuwald, who gave appropriate advice to Sepia, turned his attention to Dio again. ¡°Crasus is not here because of Kalphael, but he is still very worried about you.¡± ¡°well.¡± ¡°Haha, I wish he had been a little friendlier. But deep down, I want you to know that I care about you more than anyone else.¡± Dio nodded at Schuwald¡¯s words. Crassus was always tickling Dio and his companions, but he always took action to help them. Didn¡¯t they cast a high-rank perception-impairing spell that would be difficult to detect unless you were an archmage? ¡®It¡¯s a bit hard to completely believe that it¡¯s about the World Tree.¡¯ Through conversations with Crassus, Dio was able to find out that he was thinking more about the World Tree than Solari. As an elf, it would be more important to carry on the will of the World Tree, so it is not something he cannot understand. ¡°I hope to see you next Walpurgis Night. Oh, of course, after solving Kalphael¡¯s problem.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my honor.¡± After saying his final greetings, Dio immediately stood on top of the gate. The rest of the group followed suit and boarded the gate, and soon a bright cluster of lights surrounded them. Paat- ¡°May the sun be with you on your journey.¡± Schuwald, watching the empty seats of Dio and his companions, clasped his hands together as if he were saying a short prayer. * * * [Entered Armin Forest.] The place where Dio and his party arrived at Temberk¡¯s gate was a place called [Armin Forest], located in the center of the eastern region. Dio sat down and thought about his plans for the future with his companions. ¡®It¡¯s Armin Forest¡­ I¡¯ll have to pass by a few cities to meet Calliope.¡¯ The Witch of Balance did not appear in a designated location. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. No, there was a designated location, but due to her nature of always moving around, meeting her required an element of probability. There are three places in total where Dio can definitely encounter the Witch of Balance in his memories. Dio knows all three locations, so if you keep going back and forth there, you will definitely meet the Witch of Balance. Since you settle in one place for at least a month, there is a low probability that your locations will change. ¡®What I¡¯m worried about is what Calliope¡¯s request is¡­¡¯ Right now, Dio couldn¡¯t even figure out what the Witch of Balance would ask for. Among users, the Witch of Balance was called a ¡®walking mine¡¯. Land mines are scary, but if you don¡¯t touch them, they won¡¯t explode. So, when low-level users accidentally encountered her, they could survive by simply ignoring her. ¡®There were many users who died after fussing just because the monster sign appeared without even knowing it was a pentagram.¡¯ All episodes involving users and Oh Mang-seong ended in tragic endings. It is a pentagram that is difficult to attack even with stagnant people, so ordinary players will be at a loss. That¡¯s why it¡¯s more fun. ¡®Well, Evelyn is also with us. It won¡¯t be a big problem¡­ right? Although Dio wondered if he would force his beloved disciple¡¯s colleagues to do too much, he recalled an instance where he was treated harshly by Kalphael. However, since it was not something to be resolved right away, I decided not to think about this issue for the time being. There was another problem to solve first before meeting the witch or finding the warehouse. That was the reason why D.O. had a week ending. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 74 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 74Episode 74 Dio spent a week trying to solve his party¡¯s fundamental problem. It was not a matter of balance, such as individual strength or the sum of colleagues. So what is the fundamental problem? ¡®The problem may be that the party has been targeted by the Luna Church.¡¯ Dio has been suspected and pursued by the Luna Church since the Monte days. Sephia is suspected in Liver North because of Ludens. And even witches and vampires who are officially declared enemies of the Luna Church. Dio¡¯s party is simply not in a position to safely traverse the continent. Estellum was also thinking about this problem, so it hid its identity through perception-impeding magic and clothing. But it¡¯s different from then. Estellum was originally a city with such poor security that it was called an undead city. However, most cities in the eastern region close to the imperial capital have a tight security system. If you are fussy, your true identity is likely to be discovered. Dio spent a week trying to find various solutions to solve this problem. Then, an incredible idea occurred to me. It was a plan that came to mind after hearing that the artifact installed near Calliope¡¯s base was in Armin Forest. ¡®The guy who will be wandering around Armin Forest after running away from home.¡¯ Dio thought of a person active in the realm of Armin Forest. I was confident that if I recruited him, I would be able to solve the problems I had previously been concerned about. When Dio heard from Schuwald that the place he was sent to the gate was Armin Forest, his thoughts became even stronger. Dio thought about a better method for a week, but decided that this method was the best. It is also something that will be much more helpful for your future journey. ¡°Everyone pack your bags and follow me.¡± ¡°uh? ¡°The city is over there?¡± Sepia asked curiously, pointing to the city in the distance. As she saw, there was a city not far from Armin Forest. There was no warehouse in the city, but it was also a place you had to pass by to meet Calliope. ¡°know.¡± Dio, who was heading deep into the forest instead of towards the city, looked at his companions and opened his mouth. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t you need a pass?¡± * * * Deep in the Armin Forest. Armin Forest, not far from the city, was also a hunting ground where many hunters were active. However, players do not hunt in Armin Forest. The hunters¡¯ traps set up to hunt animals and monsters are quite annoying, so it is not a place where players can comfortably hunt. So, players who came to Armin Forest for the first time often had trouble because of the numerous traps. ¡°Can you help me instead of just watching?¡± Just like the person in front of me who was caught in a net trap set up on a tree. A net trap made to catch animals or small monsters. Inside, a blond young man with dirty hair was struggling against the tight net. ¡°¡­What is he?¡± Evelyn looked at the young man asking for help with dumbfounded eyes and opened her mouth. ¡°This body¡­huh. Because I was careless, I fell into a trap. haha. Are you a hunter nearby?¡± I wondered if there was a young man in Armin Forest, where veteran hunters go, but Dio chuckled as if he knew that would be the case. Despite his shabby appearance and inexperienced behavior, the young man¡¯s character was not hidden. ¡®But you found it quickly. ¡®I guess it hasn¡¯t been long since you left the house?¡¯ When Dio winked, Sepia immediately aimed her bow. The young man¡¯s eyes opened wide at that sight. ¡°What are you doing? Hey hey.¡± Liquid- ¡°Aaaah!¡± As Sepia¡¯s bow was fired, the young man closed his eyes tightly. thud! Contrary to what the young man had feared, Sepia¡¯s bow accurately cut only the net, and the free young man fell to the floor. ¡°Thank you. ¡°But wouldn¡¯t there be a safer way?¡± A young man who endures the pain of falling to the floor and complains immaturely. Dio just smiled as he looked down at the young man who had sprawled out. * * * There is a ducal family with the largest territory in the vast land mass of the eastern part of the continent. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Bertio is not an aristocrat of a weak country, but one of Freud¡¯s operatives in the empire. It was no exaggeration to say that Bertio was exerting his influence throughout the East. Ates Vertio. It was the name of Duke Bertio¡¯s second son and the real name of the blonde young man whom Dio saved. Why is such a precious child suffering in Armin Forest? This is because Ates is currently running away from home due to various family issues. Slurp ¨C Ates was sitting by the fire, scooping up freshly cooked stew, and was concentrating on his meal in silence, as if he hadn¡¯t had any proper food in a while. ¡°Is this the person you¡¯re looking for?¡± ¡°Dio?¡± The group, who were looking at Artes from afar, smiled at each other and looked at Dio. Dio had not shared information about Artes with the party. It was too cumbersome to explain, and the party members now tended to expect Dio to do whatever he did, so Dio just clenched his chin and looked at Ates. ¡°Phew ¨C I guess I¡¯ll live now. ¡°You¡¯re really good at cooking.¡± Ates, who had just finished an entire bowl of stew by himself, looked at Sepia and raised his thumb. ¡°I did that.¡± When Roberto, who was next to him, spoke, Ates looked embarrassed and lowered his raised hand. ¡°I will get food and make sure to repay this favor. ¡°My name is Ate¡­¡± Ates, who was full, continued speaking, but trailed off as he looked at Dio¡¯s gaze. ¡°¡­Call me Jack.¡± At first, Artes tried to be minimally formal, but he introduced himself without hesitation, perhaps because he thought he had already shown his disapproval. ¡°Okay Jack. ¡°I am Dio.¡± Currently, Dio is officially wanted by Luna. Nevertheless, unlike Ates, Dio did not bother to hide his name. This is because the name Dio is a common name, and with the help of Evelyn, a recognition-impairing spell was placed on him. ¡®And anyway, I¡¯ll be on the same boat with Ates.¡¯ Dio smiled inwardly and opened his mouth towards Artes. ¡°What were you doing alone in the forest?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ there are times when you want to travel alone. Something like that. Where are you guys going? ¡°I think he¡¯s about the same age as me.¡± Ates turned around and asked Dio. ¡°We are¡­vigilantes, so to speak.¡± ¡°vigilante corps? ¡°For what?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard anything lately? The devil may be resurrected¡­¡± ¡°The devil!?¡± Ates was not the only one surprised by Dio¡¯s words. The people listening next to him also looked at Dio with expressions of ignorance. ¡°I can¡¯t tell you the details. Just know that the organization we belong to is carrying out missions in secret.¡± ¡°The Demon King Suppression Team¡­ Now that I think about it, I think I heard that the monsters¡¯ movements are unusual¡­¡± For some reason, Artes¡¯ eyes changed to a more intense look. It was a calculated move for Dio to pretend to be a ¡®hero¡¯s party¡¯ by mentioning defeating the demon lord. The reason Ates abandoned his background as a duke and ran away was because he was romantic. ¡°Does the fact that the punitive force is preparing mean that there are signs of the Demon King¡¯s army in the east?¡± Ates muttered to himself and seemed to have made up his mind and called out to Dio. ¡°D.I.O.¡± Dio, who could guess what Ates was going to say, looked at him. ¡°why?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± ¡°Say it quickly. ¡°Because we don¡¯t have time.¡± Unlike Dio, who spoke leisurely, Ates continued speaking as if he was full of determination. ¡°Let me join you too!¡± Apart from personal growth, Artes could not pass up the warrior party that young people envy. Of course, he didn¡¯t say it was a warrior¡¯s party, but the mention of the Demon King was enough to whet Dio¡¯s appetite. According to Dio¡¯s calculations, Artes wants to join the party on his own. So then the answer Dio should give here is¡­ ¡°No.¡± It was a firm refusal. * * * The Demon King who can be seen as the final boss of the order board. And the Demon Lord¡¯s army is the enemy that the player faces in the very latter half of the game. However, its existence does not suddenly appear. Although the Luna Church is hissing, the main scenario of the order board eventually moves toward the final phase of the resurrection of the Demon King. Whether they know it or not, the story of the Demon King¡¯s resurrection is making people anxious, and what Dio made up is not entirely empty. ¡°no? Why not?¡± And Ates, the second son of the Bertio family, who had the greatest influence on all eastern fronts, was anxious about Dio¡¯s rejection. ¡°Didn¡¯t we just meet? ¡°Why do you trust me and follow me?¡± ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± Dio pointed out Ates¡¯ behavior, which was quite inexperienced. It is easy to turn down a rich boy. However, if you use it like that and then throw it away, it will result in a big disaster. If you are a talent that you will use for a long time, the shortcut to becoming a great player is to build trust with each other as much as possible and make them friendly or indebted to each other. ¡°It¡¯s not a good idea to follow someone you don¡¯t know properly. We also can¡¯t just bring you in because you might be hiding your real name. ¡°Isn¡¯t that right, Jack?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Although Artes is inexperienced, he is not a bad person. If Artes had been accepted without hesitation, it was obvious that Dio and his group would be viewed with suspicious eyes early on. In that case, you should refuse here and give Artes the perception that you are a slightly more experienced party, and make him feel like he sincerely wants to follow you. ¡°So does that mean it¡¯s all a lie?¡± ¡°well. What you believe is your freedom. However, if your choice turns out to be wrong later on, it is entirely your fault.¡± Even though they were the same age, Dio¡¯s veteran appearance made Ates intimidated. However, Artes still seemed to want to join Dio¡¯s party. Dio recognized this at a glance and slowly opened his mouth again. ¡°But¡­we also need to recruit talented people.¡± Dio pretends to be a generous person. Seeing Dio using the typical conman pattern, the companions just looked at him in bewilderment. However, for Ates, who did not know Dio¡¯s true intentions, these words were like a ray of hope. How could a young man who ran away from home in search of romance endure a party to subdue the devil? ¡°Why do you think I bothered to mention the Demon King to you? ¡°It¡¯s because I saw that you were a good person.¡± ¡°Then!?¡± Ates, brightened by Dio¡¯s words, gave an expectant look. ¡°Looking at you, you seem to be quite a precious son. ¡°It¡¯s not easy to go on an adventure and find romance alone.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right! ¡°I didn¡¯t leave home without a decision¡­ no, that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m a noble or anything like that.¡± Ates was captivated by Dio¡¯s speech and spoke with confidence, but then quickly changed his words, perhaps realizing that he was hiding his identity. ¡°I like it anyway. But if you¡¯re skilled enough to fall into an ugly trap, I can¡¯t help but feel reluctant.¡± ¡°It was a mistake. And I could have escaped the net by myself at any time.¡± Artes was shamelessly mateless. Dio made him an offer. ¡°If you still want to be with us, prove it.¡± ¡°proof?¡± Dio, who had planned to take Ates with him anyway, but had no intention of accepting the foolish treatment of a rich boy, looked at Sepia next to him. Sepia, who was the most perceptive of the group, realized Dio¡¯s intention and drew out her dagger. ¡°Raise your sword. And prove to yourself that you are what we need.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 75 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 75Episode 75: Duke Bertio is a renowned swordsman. That is why the children of the Bertio family had to endure intense training from outstanding knights from an early age. Vertio swordsmanship passed down from generation to generation in the family. Ates mastered this before he became an adult. Even compared to other children of noble families, Ates was outstanding, and people around him considered him a genius.

There are many reasons, but one reason Artes decided to leave alone was because he thought he was strong enough. visor! Artes¡¯ longsword was blocked by the blonde woman¡¯s dagger. Sepia¡¯s silver hair appeared blonde due to the recognition-impairing magic, but of course Artes did not know that. Snap clap clap! Ates could not understand how such a small body could repel his sword. A woman who is not swayed by the fact that she is called a genius¡­ no, she is stronger than that. ¡®Kk, how is this little thing so fast? ¡®Aren¡¯t you just good at shooting a bow?¡¯ I confirmed at first that he was good at handling a bow. However, shooting a bow from a distance and fighting with a sword are two completely different things. ¡®Why is strength so good?¡¯ At first, Artes was dissatisfied as he saw Sepia come forward to prove her skills. It¡¯s not that it¡¯s not. The sparring partner is not Dio himself, but the woman who appears to be the weakest among the group. When the youngest-looking and most beautiful woman stepped forward, Ates wondered if it was a joke. Even if he couldn¡¯t avoid the hunter¡¯s trap, it was, as I said, a mistake. It is true that a trap is literally something that cannot be easily avoided. However, contrary to appearances, the woman¡¯s attack was fierce. ¡®What on earth is this?¡¯ Artes gasped and distanced himself from Sepia. As if to contradict this, Sephia turned her wrist holding the dagger and looked at Ates with great composure. ¡®If things continue like this, you will definitely be punished!¡¯ Artes, who thought that he had no problem with swordsmanship, realized that he was completely wrong after his first battle with Sephia. The opponent was so strong that he couldn¡¯t win without the family¡¯s secret power, and Artes acknowledged this. ¡®Would you like to find out the family sword? I don¡¯t want to be caught if possible¡­¡¯ The Bertio family¡¯s secret swordsmanship has the characteristic of combining swordsmanship with strong destructive power as its base. Since it was a sword technique with one of the most destructive powers on the entire continent, many people recognized it, so Ates did not want to use it. If they found out that it was the duke¡¯s son, they would definitely feel burdened. ¡®If we lose here anyway, it¡¯s a disaster.¡¯ Artes steeled himself as he looked sideways at Dio, who asked him to prove his skills. If I get caught, I¡¯ll get caught, and I wanted to somehow surprise Dio, who wasn¡¯t expecting much right now. ¡®I can¡¯t miss this opportunity.¡¯ Why did he leave his family and come to Armin Forest? Ates thought that unlike his older brother, who was a fool, he had proven his skills in his family. However, just because he was the second son, the succession was passed down to his older brother. ¡®I have to prove it here. ¡®Your father was wrong.¡¯ You can¡¯t miss the hero¡¯s party that came by chance(?) here. Together with them, we will defeat the devil¡¯s army and return home with honor. Artes held the handle of the longsword in the opposite direction and cheered. ¡°Ha!¡± If Artes were under normal circumstances, he would not have shown Bertio swordsmanship to Sepia. Aside from the fact that it could be discovered that he is from the Bertio family, this is a very dangerous technique. However, Artes was currently impatient. I am impatient that if I leave like this, my chance to prove myself will disappear. In that impatience, Ates committed the crime without leaving the circumstances in the hands of the other party. Bertio Vision Swordsmanship 1 set. Throwing ¨C Ates¡¯ foot kicked the ground. Even though Sepia saw Artes like that, it still stayed in its place. Huung ¨C Artes¡¯ longsword, held in reverse, was aimed precisely at Sepia. It¡¯s like a huge lion slamming its paw down on a weak rabbit. But unfortunately, Artes¡¯ opponent was not a fragile rabbit. Kagagagak-! ¡°That¡¯s ridiculous!¡± Bertio¡¯s visionary swordsmanship is closer to extreme shredding techniques than swordsmanship. Artes could not close his mouth in surprise at Sepia¡¯s delicate movements, deflecting the powerful attack power with a small dagger. This was because he could not have imagined that his swordsmanship, which resembled the lion, the family emblem, would be destroyed by a mere dagger. Kang-! Anyway, Sepia lightly struck away his sword and then kicked Ates in the side. Pow! ¡°Oops!¡± Ouch ¨C I almost fell because of the pain that left me unable to breathe, but Ates barely survived by fixing his sword on the ground. At that moment, Ates remembered. Perhaps the reason he was not recognized by his father was not only because he was the second son¡­ ¡®Is it because I did not live up to expectations?¡¯ Perhaps it was Artes¡¯ own illusion that he thought he had proven himself. Ates Vertio. Although he ran away from home in search of romance, it was not because he hated the Bertio family. Ates had a strong attachment to the East. He did not ignore the commoners, but rather firmly believed that the reason Bertio became strong was because of the strong bond between the eastern people. To make this group stronger, a leader as brave as a lion is needed. However, I realized early on that if my older brother, who was always thinking about accidents, took over the family, it would lead to failure. So, Ates thought that he could definitely protect the prosperity of Bertio if he led the succession for the sake of his family and the East. But that was arrogance. ¡°Is there anything else I can show you?¡± Ates could not take his eyes off the woman who was looking down at him, showing off her noble figure. Is that what dignified strength means? Talent is not a word that suits you. ¡®shit.¡¯ A person with talent was dazzlingly beautiful. ¡°If you don¡¯t have it, I¡¯ll go this way.¡± Sephia rushed towards Artes, who was looking at her with a blank expression. Elf movements learned from Crassus. Sephia kicked the ground with a lunge and instantly closed the distance between herself and Ates. Artes had no reaction to this strange movement. Pat- ¡°Heo-ok-¡± Sepia¡¯s dagger touched Ates¡¯ neck and stopped. Blood flowed from the neck of Ates, who raised his head when the blade touched him shallowly . For some reason, Artes did not look angry or resentful at Sepia¡¯s victory. Did he accept the overwhelming victory and defeat? Artes lowered his head and opened his mouth. ¡°I lost.¡± * * * When Ates lowered his sword and declared surrender, Sepia also pulled back the dagger she was holding to his neck. ¡°I saw your skills well, Jack.¡± When Dio, who was watching the fight, opened his mouth, Ates became restless, unable to express his frustrated feelings. After experiencing the power of the Demon King¡¯s army subjugation team first-hand, Ates wanted to join this party even more. In the fight just now, which he thought was poor, Ates couldn¡¯t bring himself to ask him to accept him as a teammate. ¡®I even used the family¡¯s secret sword technique¡­ but I couldn¡¯t even touch a fingertip.¡¯ Artes looked at Sephia sheathing her weapon without any sign of fatigue. ¡®Does one have to have this level of skill to be selected to subdue the Demon King¡¯s army?¡­¡¯ Ates, who had thought he was talented until now, even thought about giving up and returning home. ¡®no. You can¡¯t miss the opportunity. If I don¡¯t live up to my father¡¯s expectations¡­I have to prove it to myself. That you can grow without a family name.¡¯ Ates¡¯ eyes burned brightly. And as if to show his determination, Ates knelt down towards Dio. ¡°please! add me to the party ¡°Even if it seems like it¡¯s not enough right now, I¡¯ll try my best!¡± Looking at Ates like that, Dio covered his mouth with his hand and pretended to be worried. In reality, it is to hide a smile. ¡®If you beg this much, you won¡¯t feel like we¡¯re taking advantage of you.¡¯ Dio, who knew Ates¡¯ personality, expected him to turn out like this. Ates is a noble person. There must have been quite a few forces who approached him knowing that he was the duke¡¯s second son, and Ates must have had many such experiences since he was young. Just like them, Dio also needed Ates¡¯ identity. ¡®The Imperial Medal of Mercenary Medal¡­ I used it a lot. But the best way to hide your identity¡­¡¯ is to make powerful people your allies. If you are someone they guarantee, you can pass through most cities without verification. Because of this necessity, Dio absolutely needed Artes, and it was good to build a bond that lasts until the end rather than a one-time relationship. That¡¯s why I did this annoying play. If Dio had figured out Ates¡¯ identity right away and easily accepted him, there would be a high probability that he would leave the party at some point. ¡®No matter how much the Luna Church is, they can¡¯t mess with Bertio, who is in charge of one axis of the empire.¡¯ Although Ates is currently unable to contribute to the family because he has run away from home, his existence is helpful to Dio simply because he is the second son of the duke. ¡®Because the connections of the Duke of Bertio are that great.¡¯ Dio thought as he looked at Artes, who was desperately pleading. As Ates becomes more desperate, his trust in the party will increase. In order to drive a wedge here, it would be necessary to show a little more concern and intervene by another person who can solve the concern¡­ ¡°Ah!¡± Sephia, the most perceptive of the group, noticed that Dio was paying attention. ¡°Dio. Don¡¯t we need someone to do chores too?¡± ¡°Hole chores?¡± ¡°I¡¯m good at chores! Laundry dishes cleaning. ¡°Please order everything!¡± Ates, who thought this was an opportunity, hurriedly intervened in the conversation between Sepia and Dio. But Artes was not the only one involved in the story. ¡°Can we do that?¡± Ates¡¯ expression worsened again at Evelyn¡¯s words, which seemed to have been overlooked. However, Sephia¡¯s sensible defense continued without giving in. ¡°Not such chores. Miscellaneous work such as destroying traps. It looks sturdy and I think it would be perfect to use as a meat shield.¡± ¡°Just leave it to me! I¡­what? What shield?¡± Ates looked at Sepia, feeling strange about her words. ¡°That makes sense. ¡°Our mission is so important and dangerous.¡± ¡°No, as a fellow comrade, I want to be helpful to the party¡­¡± ¡°Sacrifice is also helpful to the party.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not sacrifice, that¡¯s coercion¡­¡± ¡°Use it!¡± Ates closed his mouth in response to Dio¡¯s request not to complain. ¡°So you don¡¯t want to join the party?¡± ¡°That¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t hate it.¡± ¡°Oh no! I will do it. ¡°I¡¯ll do anything you tell me to do!¡± Dio is supposed to maintain a good relationship with the Bertio family, but for some reason he seems to treat them poorly. The reason was to create a clear superior-subordinate relationship to prevent Ates, who joined the party, from acting as he pleases. ¡°good. jack. I think your swordsmanship skills are also useful. ¡°You said you don¡¯t mind doing chores¡­¡± As Dio continued, Ates looked very expectant. ¡°But I don¡¯t completely trust you. ¡°There¡¯s no guarantee that we won¡¯t reveal the fact that we¡¯re a demon lord subjugation team, right?¡± ¡°never! ¡°I won¡¯t tell anyone!¡± ¡°No one can say anything. Let¡¯s make a simple contract.¡± ¡°contract?¡± Ates made an incomprehensible expression as Dio spoke, hiding a sinister smile. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 76 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 76Chapter 76 Dio, who knew Ates¡¯ personality, thought that he would not spread the story of them forming a party to subdue the Demon King¡¯s army. But there is such a thing as what if. The contract that Dio proposed to Artes was a measure to prepare for that eventuality. Of course, it doesn¡¯t really use magic or Dio¡¯s skill ¡®Pledge of Liberation¡¯. ¡°What are you doing?¡± When Dio touched Evelyn and spoke, Evelyn, who had been watching like a spectator from the side, just looked at Dio with wide eyes. ¡°huh? what?¡± ¡°Whew, just pretend to draw a magic circle.¡± Dio sighed and whispered. Only then did Evelyn realize that Dio was creating a fake contract to deceive Ates, and raised her staff. ¡°I-I want a contract in the name of Shadow.¡± The sight of Evelyn trying to make up words was quite unreliable, but her splendid magic was enough to take away Ates¡¯ soul. Sigh ¨C As the dark energy flowing from the tip of the wand surrounded Ates¡¯ body, he swallowed nervously. Shadow magic is one of the rarest types of magic used by witches. Artes could never have met a witch in the first place. In fact, it was a superficial form of magic that had no meaning or effect, but it was enough for Artes to mistake it for a type of contract magic. ¡°If we reveal our identities, we will be cursed.¡± ¡°Oh, I understand.¡± At the threatening effect of Dio¡¯s horse Evelyn¡¯s magic, Ates cried and nodded, deciding to eat mustard. But he had no choice. If you don¡¯t do this, you will miss the opportunity to join the Demon King¡¯s army punitive force. ¡°We formally welcome you to our party. jack.¡± Dio patted Jack on the shoulder and greeted him. ¡°i look forward to.¡± Ates, who was trying to speak comfortably as usual, realized that he was a newbie and changed his tone. ¡®I have to look good from now on.¡¯ Ates felt like he had lost something by joining the party, but he thought it was an illusion. Anyway, didn¡¯t the other person just accept what you asked for? How to take responsibility for what you say. Ates shook off impure thoughts and put on a disciplined expression, determined to cherish the opportunity he had now had. ¡°I will work hard to gain experience so I can lead the party!¡± ¡°Because Dio will lead the way. ¡°I just follow you.¡± ¡°Oh yeah.¡± When Sepia said something to Ates, who revealed his bold ambitions, Ates showed respect with a shy expression. ¡°Now that I am an official party member, can I hear your name?¡± All Ates was introduced to was Dio¡¯s name. Even though he hadn¡¯t heard Eveline and Roberto¡¯s names, he didn¡¯t bother to approach Sepia and bowed his head politely. Ates¡¯s tone is somehow exhilarating. Instead of Sepia, who felt uncomfortable and frowned, Dio opened his mouth. ¡°Stop pretending and give me your luggage.¡± ¡°My luggage?¡± Ates had doubts about Dio¡¯s words, but handed over the backpack he was carrying to Dio without saying anything. ¡®It¡¯s normal.¡¯ Dio opened Ates¡¯ backpack and looked through it to see if there was anything useful, but there was nothing special. ¡®I don¡¯t even have anything to prove my identity. There was a reason I handed it over obediently.¡¯ Well, he may have hidden something like a family insignia or brooch in his arms. Or, you may be confident that if you reveal your identity at any time, everyone will recognize you. ¡®Are you smart or stupid?¡¯ I guess it was good. Currently, Dio is pretending not to know Ates¡¯ identity. Since I had to convince Ates that I wasn¡¯t approaching him for his status, it was better to keep pretending not to know for the time being. ¡®Since the party was officially formed, the system must have recognized this, right?¡¯ In fact, the inspection of belongings was just an excuse. While Dio was checking his belongings, he checked the newly updated party window. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Party Member] [NEW][Artes / Swordsman / Lv170] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®Level 170¡­ .¡¯ The level is higher than I expected considering I was helplessly defeated by Sepia. Dio, who saw these numbers, nodded as if it was worth it. ¡®Except for the knights of the imperial capital, the knights of Bertio were said to be the strongest. He grew up in such a samurai family¡­¡¯ It was reasonable for him to be level 170, as he must have completed the family¡¯s elite education. For that matter, he didn¡¯t show much in sparring, but that was a case of a bad opponent. The stats at level 170 are comparable to those of a knight with short experience. However, since Artes is the son of a valuable operative, he has little combat experience, so he can be considered weaker than enemies of the same level.

Although it is not that much different from Sepia¡¯s level, it is inevitable that the gap with Sepia trained by Crassus has widened. ¡°How old is Artes this year?¡± ¡°I¡¯m twenty-three.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I thought that was about it.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± The more Dio talked with Artes, the more he was able to recall the information he had remembered. The fact that he grew to level 170 on his own, without the player helping him grow, can definitely be seen as a talent. ¡®What would have happened in the future if I left him alone? Didn¡¯t receive succession¡­ wandering swordsman? Wandering poet? I think I¡¯ve done everything.¡¯ In any case, it is clear that he has a talent for swordsmanship, so if you can help him with this, besides his background as a duke, the character of Ates himself can be helpful to the party. ¡°That¡¯s all it takes to inspect your belongings. ¡°It would be good to get our titles straight.¡± ¡°Do you mean title?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°You know we shouldn¡¯t reveal our true identity, right?¡± ¡°yes.¡± ¡°We use code names during missions.¡± ¡°Code name? ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°Code name.¡± ¡°oh!¡± Artes showed an interesting expression at Dio¡¯s words. They seemed to think that it was indeed a subjugation team for the Demon King¡¯s army carrying out a mission in secret¡­ ¡°Please call me Diamond from now on.¡± ¡°All right. Captain Diamond! ¡°And the rest of you¡­?¡± In response to Ates¡¯ question, Dio pointed to the group members one by one and introduced them. Sepia is heart. Evelyn is clover. Roberto in spades. Ates is unaware that Dio¡¯s companions are wanted by the Luna Church. In this situation, there is no need to risk revealing your real name. Of course, Dio revealed his real name, but he hid his appearance with Evelyn¡¯s magic, so Ates would not be able to easily recognize him. ¡®The Bertio family is not faithful to the Luna Church, but there is no harm in being careful.¡¯ From Dio¡¯s point of view, it would have been better if Artes himself had told him his identity first. If you build trust with him and a trustworthy bond is formed between you. Even if your identity is discovered, you will be able to get people who will take your side. That¡¯s what Dio ultimately wants from Ates. To achieve that goal, Dio focused on building Ates¡¯ trust. The first thing is to develop inner intimacy. Recognized as a member of the secret mission to subdue the Demon King¡¯s army. That recognition begins with sharing their own secret names. ¡°Do I have a code name or something!?¡± ¡°of course. Um¡­you just jack it.¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°Why are you so surprised? It¡¯s not even my real name. It was fate that we met under that name. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a meaningful code name?¡± ¡°oh! you¡¯re right.¡± Although it was completely acknowledged that he was lying about his identity through the conversation just now, Artes didn¡¯t seem to have thought much about that. Of course, there were times when I was certain that Ates was using a pseudonym from the beginning. ¡°What is our first glorious mission? ¡°The new member, Jack, will complete his mission with flying colors!¡± Jack shouts with confidence. Dio looked at him with meaningful eyes and slowly opened his mouth. ¡°There is something you can do for me¡­¡± * * * Dio and his party were passing through Cardeoom, the first gateway to finding the three locations where the Witch of Balance haunts. Unlike Estellum, where security was a mess, Cardeom was enough to intimidate travelers right from its huge gateway. From the gate, there are fiercely armed guards. And even the skilled knight who commands them. The larger the city, the more merchants come and go, and they form a long line waiting for their turn to pass through the gate. In such a complicated situation. There was a group of people getting through the gate without having to wait in an endless line¡­ ¡°Loyalty! Take a look. Confucius¡­no, Jack!¡± ¡°Uh uh. is it so.¡± Ates, who nodded awkwardly after being seen off by the guard captain who gave a sharp salute, followed behind Dio¡¯s group who had passed first. ¡°Haha, I don¡¯t know why you treat me so well.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Ates¡¯ extremely awkward performance made Dio and his companions just look at him blankly. ¡°I¡¯m sending it to you because you talk well?¡± ¡°As expected, it¡¯s Jack. ¡°You can take charge of the inspection from now on.¡± Artes is now using a fake identity called Jack. Dio hinted to Artes and suggested a mission that he had no choice but to do. -Even though we are disguising our identities, I would like to pass the inspection as easily as possible¡­is there a way? jack? -yes? Why did you do that to me¡­? -No, just. I didn¡¯t think you could be of any help right now, so I asked just in case. After hearing Dio¡¯s words, Ates headed to the checkpoint alone in a cold sweat. And soon, Dio¡¯s group was able to pass through the heavily guarded Kardeom without any special inspection. * * * The choice to take Artes along from the beginning was truly an excellent choice. Even if you are not necessarily looking for the Witch of Balance, as long as you have joined Artes, you can pass through the eastern region with a free pass. Artes seemed to be tired of telling the guards to keep the secret, but that was none of Dio¡¯s concern. There is no warehouse in Kardeom, so you can go back without having to pass through, but if you have a free pass ticket, you should use it without hesitation. ¡°I saw Jack again. ¡°I think your eloquence skills will be of great help to our party.¡± ¡°Haha, I have a good image, right?¡± Ates, who shrugged his shoulders at Dio¡¯s praise, shamelessly continued speaking. ¡°He looks a little short, but is he okay?¡± ¡°But thanks to this, I can move around the city comfortably.¡± ¡°Looking at you, you seem to be of quite great status. How did Dio know and approach you?¡± Leaving behind Dio and Artes in the lead, the rest of the group hugged each other. Dio did not tell his party about the exact identity of Ates. The companions looked pitifully at the back of Ates, who for some reason seemed more like an entrance ticket than a colleague. However, Ates was deliberately acting stupid to hide the fact that he was the duke¡¯s second son. Dio, who noticed this, adapted his role play. Anyway, Dio and his group moved forward smoothly, and eventually they were able to spot a village in the distance. ¡°I can see the village ahead!¡± ¡°okay. ¡°Let¡¯s go right away.¡± Dio nodded at Sepia¡¯s words. That is one of the three bases where the Witch of Balance appears. It was Hallshtar.

Hallshtar, a quiet rural landscape, is not an area where monster waves occur like Evra Village. The village people who were plowing the fields were curious when they saw the outsiders they usually had a hard time meeting. The outsiders were young men and women who did not think they had anything to do in this rural town. At first glance, outsiders who are so handsome and handsome that they look like children of noble families. However, at the head of the group of outsiders, they were greeted warmly by the sight of a blond young man with a bright smile and a friendly greeting. * * * ¡°Oh my, what are these precious masters and ladies doing in a village like this?¡± ¡°You look so handsome~¡± ¡°Haha, thank you.¡± Artes¡¯ handsome appearance certainly gave a favorable impression. Villagers passing by readily approached the rare outsiders and welcomed them warmly. ¡°Ladies, listen to this.¡± ¡°Oh my gosh, look at these girls¡¯ skin. Are you from the city or rice?¡± Is this what rural people mean? The old people gave Sephia and Evelyn the potatoes they had harvested and praised their appearance. Of course, it¡¯s not like they can see through the perception-impairing spell. ¡®Athes¡­there was a setting that he had a lot of affection for the eastern part.¡¯ There are some nobles who are not like that, but most nobles on the Order Board have an authoritative aspect. The authority of the nobility is essential in the Orderpan ruling system, which was initially based on feudalism. But there was nothing like that in Artes. ¡°Seniors, are there any inconveniences these days?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing like that~¡± Ates didn¡¯t know whether he had come to carry out a secret mission to subdue the Demon King¡¯s army or to inspect the eastern region. Although he did not have the impression of a nobleman, it was clear that if the villagers found out his identity, they would be shocked and turn away. ¡°Are your brothers from the city?¡± ¡°If I go to the city, can I meet the drivers?¡± The children who were playing outside flocked to Dio¡¯s group one by one, making it even more noisy. The group broke into a sweat as they were bombarded with innocent questions from rural children dreaming of becoming a city. But for some reason, these children do not approach D.O easily. Children may be sensing something that adults cannot sense. However, this cannot but be a fortunate thing for D.O. Dio left the group surrounded by children and approached an old man with a cane and opened his mouth. ¡°excuse me. ¡°Where is the village chief¡¯s house?¡± ¡°Ah, did you come to visit the village chief? Can you see the house with the chimney over there?¡± ¡°Oh, is that there? thank you.¡± ¡°Draw.¡± Although it was not his first time coming to Hallshtar, Dio decided to ask the villagers for directions and headed to the village chief¡¯s house. It would be strange if a stranger who seemed to be new to the village walked around as if he was coming in and out of my house. ¡°Are you there?¡± As soon as Dio called loudly in front of the village chief¡¯s house, the door opened and the village chief with an impressive white beard appeared. ¡°I was wondering why there was such a fuss outside, and it turned out that it was because a customer was visiting.¡± ¡°hello. ¡°It¡¯s called Diamond.¡± ¡°Draw. Diamond. ¡°What brings you to such a remote place?¡± ¡°That¡­¡± Dio opened his mouth, looking into the eyes of the village chief who welcomed him warmly. ¡°I¡¯m looking for some ¡®gems¡¯.¡± Dio spoke carefully, not knowing who would listen. An absurd story about someone suddenly looking for a gem in a village like Gangchon. This was definitely a situation that the other person would find strange. However, the village chief¡¯s eyes turned sharp after hearing Dio¡¯s words. But it is only a fleeting moment. The village chief quickly made an incomprehensible expression. ¡°You mean jewels? ¡°If you¡¯re a treasure hunter, I think you¡¯ve come to the wrong place¡­¡± As the village chief slyly avoided answering, Dio could sense the experience he had accumulated over many years. However, even the village chief¡¯s years of experience were not enough to fool Dio. ¡°is it so? ¡°I think I came to the right place.¡± Dio, who was smiling, walked closer to the village chief and whispered. ¡°The red ¡®garnet¡¯ that flows with so much elegance.¡± ¡°¡­!¡± * * * Calliope, the Witch of Balance, was a person who enjoyed entertainment while hiding the fact that she was a witch. Calliope, who enjoys wearing fancy dresses and pretending to be a noble lady somewhere, uses the name of a jewel at each base. The pseudonym used here in Hallshtar is ¡®Garnet¡¯. Dio knew that she, using an assumed name, was using the village¡¯s representatives as her servants. Like the chief of Hallshtar. ¡°You were precious guests.¡± The village chief, who brought Dio into the house, did not even use dialect, but showed a very polite attitude and served tea to Dio. ¡°They are acquaintances of Guardian God Garnet¡­¡± ¡°To be exact, one of my companions is just her disciple.¡± Dio, who had never met Calliope as a warehouse worker, corrected the village chief¡¯s words. ¡°Hehe, the disciple¡¯s companions are also precious people.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°Just then, Garnet left a message that one of her students might be visiting.¡± Dio raised his eyebrows at the village chief¡¯s words. ¡®Has information been shared between the seven stars? No, Evelyn must have known of my existence since she left the cave¡­¡¯ Dio was convinced that Calliope was already anticipating his visit. ¡®But why is Calliope acting as a guardian deity in the three bases?¡¯ When the village chief called Garnet¡­or Calliope, his guardian deity, Dio remembered her. As the village chief said, the fact that the Witch of Balance is protecting the village is information that Dio already knows. That¡¯s why monster waves don¡¯t come to this peaceful town. But I don¡¯t know why they are protecting it. ¡®I was always curious. What does Omangseong study while protecting the village?¡¯ Dio¡¯s only experience was encountering Calliope as an enemy. From the beginning, Omangseong was set up as a player enemy. So, those who have received Calliope¡¯s grace do not originally tell any stories. ¡®But we are not enemies now.¡¯ Dio is the key chosen by Solari and has a mission to carry on the will of the Great Warrior. If you think about Kalfael, even if you belong to the same group, you can¡¯t necessarily say that they are safe¡­ Still, since they are formally on the same side, the village chief may be welcoming them like this. ¡°Isn¡¯t Garnet here?¡± ¡°He stopped by the village about a month ago and left again a few days later.¡± ¡°Garnet, what are you doing here?¡± Dio naturally asked for information about Calliope, but the chief only shook his head. ¡°How could I possibly know what the guardian spirit is doing? Even if I knew, it would be difficult to tell Diamond.¡± ¡°I guess so¡­¡± Dio looked embarrassed as the village chief spoke politely. It was a tactic that had already been used several times in games, but as expected, the village chiefs did not open their mouths. ¡®In the end, I have no choice but to ask Calliope directly.¡¯ Dio, who was trying to collect as much information as possible about the seven stars, did not fail to ask Evelyn about this. However, even Evelyn, Calliope¡¯s favorite disciple, only knew the level of knowledge that Dio knew. Moreover, the same seven stars did not really know what Calliope was doing. Still, meeting each other is more important than what you do. ¡°When will Garnet come visit?¡± ¡°well. I don¡¯t think I can tell you exactly because the cycle is so irregular. But my absence rarely lasts longer than a month.¡± ¡°is it so?¡± Dio was lost in thought at the village chief¡¯s words. ¡®If you¡¯re unlucky, your paths may diverge.¡¯ It was clear that if that happened, the meeting with Calliope would take longer. Of course, they would meet someday, but Dio wanted to meet her as soon as possible. ¡®But waiting in the village seems like a waste of time.¡¯ ¡°If you are staying in the village, I will prepare a room for you.¡± The village chief, who realized what Dio was thinking about, opened his mouth. But Dio had already decided that it would be better to move than to wait. ¡°it¡¯s okay. ¡°I know the area where Garnet is active, so I think it would be better to move.¡± * * * After politely refusing the village chief¡¯s request to go and have a meal, Dio went out, thinking about his future plans. ¡®It looks like I¡¯ll have to climb a mountain to get to the next base¡­ Should I try hunting and moving around?¡¯ As the recommended level in the surrounding area coincided with the level of the group, we slowly walked around the village while making a plan. The reason Dio came to Hallshtar, where there was nothing, was to find Calliope¡¯s whereabouts. Still, all I could get from the conversation with the village chief was that Calliope visited Hallshtar a month ago. There was no need to stay here any longer. ¡®There aren¡¯t any hidden pieces around¡­ hmm?¡¯ Dio raised his head when he saw Evelyn alone in his field of vision. Evelyn is sitting on the fence protecting the flower bed, looking somewhat lonely. ¡°What are you doing? ¡°Where are the other kids going?¡± Dio looked around and opened his mouth to Evelyn. At this, Evelyn began to hesitate and mutter. ¡°No, just. ¡°I¡¯m not used to talking to ordinary people¡­¡± Evelyn lived in a closet all her life. She seemed to be shy because she knew full well that witches were not welcome. Even though she hides her identity as a witch. The only time she acts immaturely is when her companions recognize that she is a witch. ¡®Well, there¡¯s no way a witch would have a good social life.¡¯ Dio unconsciously stroked the head of Evelyn, who looked pitiful. Evelyn seemed a little surprised by this, but she smiled and opened her mouth, as if her colleague¡¯s touch was not bad. ¡°What have you been doing?¡± ¡°I was seeking information from the village chief. ¡°About ¡®Garnet¡¯.¡± ¡°Oh right. ¡°It was like that.¡± Evelyn nodded at Dio¡¯s words. ¡°So what do you say? ¡°Where is Master?¡± ¡°Even the village chief doesn¡¯t know. ¡°It is clear that they are using the village as a base for their activities.¡± ¡°Then what do we do? ¡°Wait in town?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you send a messenger using a familiar?¡± ¡°Um¡­ I usually do that when I contact my teacher, but¡­ I don¡¯t usually get a reply.¡± Evelyn grunted as she remembered the time she lived in the cave. ¡°But just in case, send it to me. ¡°Anyway, Calliope already knows that you left the cave.¡± ¡°Ugh¡­what if they get angry that I showed up on my own?¡± Even though Evelyn was worried at Dio¡¯s words, she summoned her familiar. ¡®If we let them know we¡¯re nearby, they might come visit us directly.¡¯ Dio thought as he looked at the crow that Evelyn was sending away. Of course, even if that happens, I have no intention of wasting time waiting in town. Because the plan has already been made. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 78 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 78Episode 78 ¡°Jack Oppa! ¡°Play more!¡± ¡°Wow!¡± Artes was playing with energetic children in the middle of the village. As if putting a child on a merry-go-round wasn¡¯t enough, I put the children in my arms and spun it around, and the innocent children¡¯s laughter never stopped. ¡°Let me do it too!¡± ¡°me too!¡± Sepia and Roberto were resting on one side, looking very tired, as if they had given up long ago. Unlike them, it was truly admirable to see Ates deal with the children¡¯s endless demands without showing any sign of fatigue. ¡°Everyone get ready to leave!¡± Dio¡¯s voice rang loudly as he finished all his errands in the village, and upon hearing this, Ates also put down the children. ¡°Guys? ¡°This guy has to go now.¡± ¡°Hmph. ¡°Can¡¯t I stay longer?¡± The children, unable to hide their disappointment at Ates¡¯ words, cried. ¡°jack! ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Dio¡¯s voice, which did not understand the children¡¯s feelings, urged Ates. ¡°If you come back later, I¡¯ll play with you all night long.¡± ¡°really?¡± ¡°okay. Promise.¡± ¡°promise!¡± Ates raised her little finger and said goodbye to the children. Afterwards, Ates followed behind Dio and the others while being seen off by the children waving their hands. * * * ¡®Athes¡­ was a person whose personality changed greatly.¡¯ Dio thought as he saw Ates being kind to not only the children but also the residents of Hallshtar. Artes of the present and Artes of the future when time has passed have different personalities. The current Artes travels under the pseudonym Jack and hides his identity. He can be seen as a good boy who likes children and, unlike other nobles, cares about the problems of remote villages. However, the future Artes seen in the game was very different from the present. ¡®He was harsh.¡¯ If the player spends time following the scenario, there are also quests that become involved with the Bertio family. At that time, Artes¡¯ personality changed to the point where he could be seen as a completely different person than he is now when he goes on an adventure alone in the Armin Forest. ¡®Back then, I wasn¡¯t as innocent as I am now.¡¯ I don¡¯t know what experiences he had between the present and the future seen in the game, but the future Artes has changed into a cold and harsh personality. Although he still sought romance as he does now, like other nobles, he sometimes made disparaging remarks about people of commoner background. ¡®That¡¯ll happen later, anyway, I hope my current personality is maintained.¡¯ Unlike the rest of the group, Dio did not think that Artes would be with him until the end. He has a goal of succeeding to the status of Confucius and will never leave the eastern region that he loves. Of course, like Artes, Dio also had no intention of sticking with him until the end. Nevertheless, we will be together for as long as we travel to the eastern region, and it will be better to deal with his current gentle nature rather than his harsh personality. ¡®Even so, it¡¯s a bit odd that the only thing helpful to the party is the pass.¡¯ Dio had no intention of using Artes solely as a horse weapon that would allow him to travel smoothly through the eastern region. If we help Artes grow while we are together, the party will become stronger. * * * Creep- boom! As the sharp sword flashed, the heavy troll¡¯s body fell down with a loud sound. ¡°Huh huh huh.¡± After cutting down the troll, Artes gasped and looked at Dio, who was watching from behind. ¡°How is it? ¡°If a monster like this catches me, it¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°Okay, good job.¡± Ates looked very proud at Dio¡¯s words. It seemed like he was proving that he was helpful to the team, but Dio¡¯s words that he did well were not true. ¡®I¡¯m not using my family¡¯s swordsmanship on purpose.¡¯ Bertio¡¯s visionary swordsmanship that was briefly demonstrated when he sparred with Sepia. Dio recognized him right away, but he didn¡¯t pretend to know him. So I thought I could use Bertio¡¯s sword techniques with ease, but that wasn¡¯t the case. ¡®Even if it¡¯s not us, there will be many people who recognize our family¡¯s swordsmanship. I guess he was being careful in advance¡­.¡¯ It seemed like he was controlling himself in preparation for an unknown situation in the future. ¡®It¡¯s difficult to be so detailed where it¡¯s not necessary¡­¡¯ The power Dio has in mind is Ates, who is skilled in using the Vertio sword technique. If this continues, problems may arise in unexpected situations. For example, if Dio is given a position considering Artes¡¯ level of 170, there is a high possibility that he will not be able to perform his role properly. In that case, Dio¡¯s thoroughly calculated and thoughtful fighting style could be disrupted by Artes. However, it is difficult to make a plan completely excluding Artes. It wouldn¡¯t matter if you hadn¡¯t joined the group at all, but even if you did join, not entrusting anything would be a waste in itself. Because dealing with people is so difficult, this is why Dio worked alone when raising characters to max level. Moreover, in order to help Artes grow, it would be much more efficient to train him based on the Vertio swordsmanship he has learned throughout his life¡­ ¡®What is Ji Himsumjjin?¡¯ The level of the trolls that appear around here is 150. Ates, who is 20 levels higher than that, is holding a troll and is gasping for air. ¡®Shall I give you some mental education?¡¯ Dio approached Artes, who was wiping his sweat. ¡°jack.¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°Pick up your sword. ¡°You need to be beaten to come to your senses.¡± * * * ¡°Haha Captain Diamond. ¡°What are you talking about all of a sudden?¡± All monsters in sight have been annihilated. Ates laughed innocently, not understanding Dio¡¯s intention to raise the sword again when the battle was over. ¡°Smile?¡± ¡°yes?¡± Ates was taken aback by Dio¡¯s harsh words. ¡°I think I would be even more disappointed if I had taken it seriously when I said I did a good job.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so conceited that you only have the skills to catch one troll. ¡°You can¡¯t join us with such a rotten spirit.¡± ¡°That¡­¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Ates tried to say something, but immediately closed his mouth. Dio knows what he wants to say. ¡®I guess you want to say that if you used your family¡¯s swordsmanship, it would be easier to finish.¡¯ Dio glared at Artes, who was looking anxious. ¡°Do you think we¡¯re having fun now? ¡°If you knew how scary the Demon King¡¯s army is, you wouldn¡¯t have shown such a poor fight.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°To fight the devil, even your soul must be sold. But even though you have it, you are hiding it.¡± Dio didn¡¯t say anything. Artes has decided that it is appropriate to reveal his identity at this time, so he is speaking directly. Artes looked embarrassed for a moment, but then hid his expression and opened his mouth calmly. ¡°What do you mean? ¡°You¡¯re hiding it?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t use your power properly, it can be dangerous.¡± Dio continued to speak, circling around Ates. ¡°The danger is not only to yourself. The scary thing is that it comes to the same colleagues. ¡°You must realize this.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio drew his sword towards Artes, who was still hesitating. visor! Dio¡¯s sword was aimed at Artes, and Artes hurriedly blocked the attack. The rest of the group quickly retreated and surrounded them. ¡°¡­What are you doing?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think you want to show it¡­ Shall I show it to you?¡± ¡°yes? ¡°What on earth¡­?¡± Dio put back the sword he was facing against Ates and slowly took a stance. ¡®Is this how you do it?¡¯ Dio holds the handle backwards and assumes a stance unique to Vertio swordsmanship. The swordsmanship of holding a long sword, not a short sword, backwards is a unique feature of Bertio¡¯s swordsmanship. ¡°How do you do that?¡± Ates shouted involuntarily as he looked at Dio, whose posture was perhaps even more perfect than his own. ¡®I also learned Bertio¡¯s swordsmanship.¡¯ Dio smiled as he remembered one of his max level characters who was a swordsman class. The swordsman class basically satisfies the prerequisites to learn all swordsmanship skills on the order board. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. So, he was able to learn swordsmanship from a swordsman like Bertio, and Dio was able to learn it through swordsman-only quests. Many sword skills also have various levels, like magic classes. Although Bertio¡¯s vision swordsmanship is at the level of A-level swordsmanship, its destructive power alone is comparable to that of S-level swordsmanship. ¡®Bertio Vision Swordsmanship¡­ It¡¯s not as sophisticated as other swordsmanship, but it¡¯s easier to imitate.¡¯ Dio rose to Grand Master, the highest rank in the swordsman class. At that level, he was able to use all the skills of Vertio Vision Swordsmanship even though it was not the main skill. Throwing light ¨C Light emanated from Dio¡¯s body as he took his stance. An ¡®Auror¡¯ that can be used by swordsmen who have reached a certain level of skill. However, since Dio is not a swordsman, he cannot use Aura. However, he only used the power of the sun to perfectly imitate the skill. ¡°This can¡¯t be right!¡± ¡°Auror?¡± Artes opened his mouth wide, mistaking the light flowing from Dio¡¯s body to be an aura. Regardless, Dio focused on Bertio¡¯s swordsmanship. What Dio is trying to do now is to use a skill he has not learned. If this was the old D.O., it would be absurd. It¡¯s hard to imagine an order board without bugs, but not for the current D.O. Because this is not an order board game, but reality. Schuwald¡¯s teachings to experience the power of the sun directly. Dio, who has accomplished this, can not only imitate but also use skills without the help of the ¡®system¡¯. ¡®you can do it.¡¯ It¡¯s the same as when I first used [Island] on Galeto. The only difference is that the source of the power used is not the Auror, but the power of the sun. Pot! Dio hit the ground and jumped high into the sky. The target is not Ates. Because he is not yet strong enough to take the brunt of Dio¡¯s techniques. Whirling ¨C Dio spun quickly in the air and lashed out with his sword towards the ground far away from Ates. Bertio¡¯s vision of swordsmanship and martial arts. [Lion Sing] Flash! The light of the sun explodes at the same time Dio¡¯s sword touches the floor. Kwagwagwagwagwang! The ground shook for a moment as a huge explosion occurred, perhaps due to the influence of the power being handled. ¡°No way! How on earth!?¡± Ates just stared at Dio in fascination, as if he didn¡¯t know what to make of this ridiculous sight. His reaction was natural. The arcane swordsmanship that Dio is currently demonstrating is the family¡¯s secret skill, ¡®Lion¡¯s Song¡¯, which can only be used once one reaches the level of a sword expert. ¡°Whoa-¡± Dio, who thought he did an excellent job imitating a skill he had never learned for the first time, took a deep breath. ¡®I think this gives about half the power.¡¯ Destructive power comparable to the forgotten sword technique [Island]. However, because Dio was merely imitating what was in his memory, he did not have the same power as the original. ¡®I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any need to use Vertio swordsmanship.¡¯ Dio thought as he looked at the hollow earth around him. Well, from Dio¡¯s point of view, there is no need to use a different sword technique than a forgotten sword technique that can be activated right away through the system. However, the reason I showed off Bertio¡¯s sword skills now was to show it to Ates. ¡°jack.¡± Dio approached Ates, who was standing blankly, and called out to him. ¡°If you keep hiding it, I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll be able to join us.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± If Ates had not hidden Bertio¡¯s sword skills, Dio was planning to continue to challenge his acting. However, Dio had a different opinion when he saw Artes¡¯ strong will to hide it. ¡®Even if I become stronger with half the skills. It¡¯s no good for Ates or for me.¡¯ At Dio¡¯s words, which seemed to be asking, ¡®Do you want to hide it like this?¡¯, Artes smiled awkwardly, as if resigned. ¡°Haha since when did you know?¡± ¡°Ever since I sparred with Heart.¡± ¡°As expected.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Artes glanced at Sephia. Then he turned his gaze to Dio again. ¡°Phew ¨C I understand.¡± For some reason, Artes took a deep breath with a more relaxed expression. Perhaps he was relieved to see that Dio¡¯s attitude towards him did not change even though he knew his identity. Eventually, Ates made up his mind and raised his head and looked around at Dio and his companions. ¡°Let me formally introduce you once again. ¡°My name is Ates Bertio. I am the second son of Duke Bertio.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 79 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 79Episode 79 ¡°The Duke of Bertio¡­is the most noble family in the East.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The one who was most surprised by Ates¡¯ identity was Sepia. Sepia is Sigmund¡¯s younger sister. Sigmund was always troubled by being caught up in numerous political forces, both inside and outside of River North. Therefore, Sepia had some knowledge of the power structure among the continent¡¯s nobles, looking over her shoulder, and it was natural that she was quite surprised. The best swordsmanship in the East. Sepia had also heard of the status of Bertioga, who is said to be the lion that rules the east. Seeing him pass through the city gates with ease, I thought he must be a noble young man, but I guess he was the second son of Duke Bertio. ¡°Is it such a great family?¡± Roberto, who had never been outside the harsh northern lands, asked Sepia. ¡°It is even said that the king of the East is Duke Bertio.¡± You can get an idea of how much power Bertio had if he was called a king, surpassing the kings of other middle-sized kingdoms located in the eastern lands. ¡°and! I¡¯m from the east too! Let¡¯s be friends from now on! ¡°Do you have a lot of money?¡± Evelyn smiled broadly and slapped Ates¡¯ forearm. ¡°Since you are our youngest, is it okay for us to be comfortable with each other as usual?¡± ¡°Oh yes¡­¡± Evelyn hid her identity for fear of making her colleagues uncomfortable, but for some reason, Artes felt strange about Evelyn¡¯s attitude of openly revealing her true feelings. ¡°stop. ¡°If you do that, you¡¯ll be in big trouble.¡± Although he was a native of the North, Roberto, who was well aware of the fear of nobles, tried to dissuade Evelyn. However, Eveline, who could not hear Roberto¡¯s words, still showed interest in Ates. ¡°Master said so. Be friendly with rich buddies. ¡°How much do you have now?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Roberto, who was next to her, wiped his face as Evelyn acted as if she was scolding her. ¡°Hum hum. everyone. ¡°I will formally invite you sometime.¡± Artes smiled awkwardly, but for some reason, he glanced at Sepia and subtly showed off his wealth. However, contrary to Ates¡¯ intention to see Sepia¡¯s reaction, only Evelyn, who was next to her, welcomed her warmly. ¡°and! ¡°Let¡¯s go right now!¡± ¡°¡­I think it¡¯s going to be difficult right now.¡± Ates continued, expressing his disappointment at seeing Sepia not reacting in any way. If Sepia had asked to go, it would not be an illusion to think that she would go right away. ¡°Even if you reveal your identity, you must continue to work as Jack. ¡°Do you know why?¡± Dio will be in trouble if Ates, who can be seen as a famous figure in the East, does not hide his identity. So Dio once again reminded Ates that this was a punitive force that had to move in secret. ¡°of course. ¡°Isn¡¯t Jack my code name?¡± ¡°good.¡± When Artes simply agreed, Dio looked at everyone and opened his mouth. ¡°With this, Artes¡­ no, Jack, has developed a stronger bond with us. ¡°The less there is to hide between colleagues, the stronger the bond becomes.¡± Clap clap. After summarizing the situation that had just happened, Dio took steps to leave again, accompanied by clumsy applause from his companions. ¡°Now wait!¡± Artes sensed something strange and quickly grabbed Dio¡¯s arm. ¡°What are you trying to overlook? ¡°If it ends like this, I¡¯m the only one who has revealed my identity, right?¡± ¡®Tsk.¡¯ Dio, who thought it was just an incident and tried to ignore it, clicked his tongue inwardly. ¡°More than that, Dio¡­ how does Captain Diamond know my family¡¯s swordsmanship?¡± Secret literally means to be handed down secretly. However, it was quite strange that Dio, who did not appear to be from the eastern region, knew Bertio¡¯s arcane swordsmanship. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but the Demon King¡¯s Army Suppression Team is a secret organization that combines the forces of all continents. There was a time when Bertio was also a part of that rich history.¡± ¡°Is that true?¡± Although it was a reckless story, it was quite believable to Ates. If not, it wouldn¡¯t explain Dio¡¯s knowledge of Bertio¡¯s swordsmanship. ¡®In the first place, I created the story of a secret vigilante group to avoid these questions.¡¯ Dio quickly added, as Ates was anxious and wanted to ask more in-depth questions. ¡°As we continue to work together, you will find out on your own. If something sensitive comes up, act wisely. ¡°If you know too many secrets, that also causes problems.¡± ¡°Just now, I said that bonds can only be built if there are no secrets¡­¡± ¡°Next destination is Ox. ¡°The mission is to search the village, just like Hallshtar.¡± Dio cut off Ates¡¯ words and walked forward, stepping over the fallen troll¡¯s body. ¡°Whew-¡± Artes sighed at that sight, but it didn¡¯t mean he didn¡¯t understand Dio. The significance of the Demon King¡¯s army¡¯s subjugation team is by no means light, so if it were a story he could easily tell, it would have been even more distrustful. ¡°Ox is my hometown.¡± Among Dio¡¯s group moving again, Evelyn suddenly spoke up. ¡°is it so? ¡°Ah, you said you¡¯re from a small town in the East, right?¡± ¡°huh.¡± Sepia remembered a story Evelyn had once told her. Evelyn¡¯s expression in response to this did not show that she particularly missed it or that she was looking forward to visiting her hometown. ¡®Eveline¡­she was an orphan from Ox, but then she was noticed by Calliope, the Witch of Balance, and was taken in.¡¯ Dio, who knew only fragments of the background of Shadow Witch Evelyn, was lost in thought. Since it is the hometown of witches, there were times when Dio looked closely to see if there was anything in Ox. Of course, nothing was found. ¡°So, how many years has Clover returned to her hometown?¡± Ates asked Evelyn with an interested expression, perhaps thinking that this was an opportunity to uncover the party¡¯s secrets. ¡°well? ¡°Has it been 15 years?¡± Evelyn, who was taken away by the Witch of Balance and had never visited Ox, spoke casually. Dio also didn¡¯t pay much attention to this, but he continued talking as if he was somehow excited. ¡°15 years! ¡°Then can we continue like this?¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the place we¡¯re going to now Clover¡¯s hometown?¡± ¡°Whatever that is.¡± Dio, who had no idea why Ates was excited when even Evelyn, the person involved, was not impressed, frowned. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the moment when a child who left the village 15 years ago returns to his hometown?¡± ¡°Are you saying you know when Geumeui Hwanhyang is used?¡± ¡°of course! Wouldn¡¯t it be great to defeat the Demon King¡¯s army? If it were a secret society that reached out to the entire continent, I wouldn¡¯t be able to reveal it¡­ but Clover became a great wizard and joined the secret society!¡± ¡°Ahem.¡± Ates said something that seemed to immediately indicate his affiliation, saying how long it had been since he had joined the group. At this, Evelyn¡¯s shoulders lifted up as if it wasn¡¯t so bad. ¡°There will be Clover¡¯s parents and childhood friends in the village¡­ Wouldn¡¯t it be a great picture if we decorated it a little and tailored the story to suit Clover¡¯s return to life?¡± Dio shook his head in response to Ates¡¯ impassioned cry for romance. ¡®Athes¡­ such a character.¡¯ Even though Ates was a saint, even now, his discernment was not that great. Even though he is talented and has a broad spirit of tolerance unlike other nobles, this does not mean that Bertio¡¯s amazing background disappears. It must have been the dream of Ates, a young runaway, to succeed and return home. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be a happy thing for everyone if the people around them who missed and worried saw Clover grow up and come back?¡± Ates spoke with great excitement, perhaps thinking that one day he would grow up well and return to his family. However, Evelyn¡¯s expression crumpled as she heard the story. ¡°Why are you doing that?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Artes, noticing the sudden cold atmosphere, stuttered. Everyone in the party except Ates knows. In the past story that Evelyn casually told, she was an orphan and a loner in the village. ¡°I don¡¯t have a good-natured personality like you. ¡°I¡¯m not a child of a rich family.¡± It was only then that Ates realized that she had no good memories of her hometown. Artes realized that not everyone had people around him who had expectations like him, and he was at a loss. ¡°¡­sorry.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re sorry, give me money.¡± ¡°How much?¡± Evelyn spoke quickly without missing a niche, and Artes looked like he was being ripped off by a gangster. ¡°You are as snobbish as ever.¡± ¡°what!¡± Evelyn screamed at Roberto¡¯s loud words from the side. ¡°Everyone stop chatting. ¡°I can see it now.¡± While the group was bickering, Dio discovered a small village visible halfway down the hill and opened his mouth. ¡®Ox¡¯ doesn¡¯t seem much different from Hallshtar. Dio started down the mountain, praying that the Witch of Balance was here. * * * -Hmm! Dio and his party, who came down the mountain, were able to reach the grazing land managed by Oaks. Perhaps because this area, like Hallshtar, is protected by Calliope, there was only a fence in place without any special measures. ¡®It was well managed. Well, you don¡¯t have to worry about monsters invading. Even wild animals wouldn¡¯t dare come in¡­¡¯ Dio nodded at the fence that had been erected just enough to prevent livestock from escaping, without worrying about external intrusion. ¡°It¡¯s the same in Hallshtar, and the people here don¡¯t seem to have any worries about farming.¡± ¡°okay.¡± Sepia, who was walking next to Dio, also noticed this and spoke quietly. ¡®Is this simply for goodwill? I wonder what kind of status Calliope was in the past¡­¡¯ Ludens said that Cardinal Schuwald was a monk. Crassus was an elf with a deep connection to the World Tree, and Kalphael¡­ ¡®I guess he was just a wandering bard.¡¯ No, I don¡¯t know. There are a total of four stars that I have met so far. Half of them, Ludens and Kalfael, were extremely suspicious. The Witch of Balance also needs to be careful because we don¡¯t know how she will come out. Anyway, except for Kalphael, the other seven stars were all in great positions. Calliope, one of the seven stars like them, must have also had great status. ¡®Should I have asked Solari of the seven stars?¡¯ Dio regretted it later, but seeing as Solari didn¡¯t bother to bring up the story about the seven stars first¡­ ¡®Are the seven stars not that important in the future? I think it¡¯s a bit complacent to think that way¡­ hmm?¡¯ Dio, lost in thought, found a young man feeding fodder to the cows in the ranch. He was a man with a sturdy appearance, like a country youth, but with a simple appearance. He turned around when he spotted Dio and his group. ¡°What kind of people are there in a countryside like this¡­huh?¡± The young man who was approaching, shaking his hands, looked surprised as if he recognized someone. Dio could immediately tell from his next words who the young man was reacting to this way. ¡°Could it be Evelyn?¡± ¡°Charles?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 80 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 80Episode 80 Charles, a young man who knows Evelyn¡¯s name. Dio thought about why he was able to immediately recognize Evelyn. ¡®The only people directly wanted by Luna are me and Sephia.¡¯ There was no need for Evelyn or Roberto to use recognition-impairing magic. That¡¯s why Charles remembered Evelyn¡¯s old appearance and recognized her right away. It was a bit surprising to recognize him even though 15 years had passed. ¡°Eveline? Is Clover¡¯s real name Evelyn?¡± Ates, who heard Evelyn¡¯s name, asked, but Dio and the others just looked at Evelyn in silence. Evelyn had no expectations about Ox. However, as soon as she saw Charles, she was able to think of the immature children who had bullied her. ¡®Hehe¡­you still haven¡¯t escaped this rural corner, right?¡¯ Even though it was clearly a nightmare she did not want to remember, Evelyn was somehow filled with joy. She could vaguely understand the romance that Ates had been talking about when she came to Oaks. ¡®who am I? Disciples of the Seven Stars. And the Archmage in charge of one axis of the Demon King¡¯s army subjugation force!¡¯ In fact, Evelyn was just a corner witch who couldn¡¯t live in the city, but did she just inherit the delusion created by Ates? ¡®What kind of acting should I do? It may seem like there is no way to do it yourself¡­but yes! Shall we imitate a noble lady like our teacher?¡¯ Dio clicked his tongue as he looked at Evelyn¡¯s nose getting higher and higher. ¡®It¡¯s so obvious.¡¯ However, before Evelyn could continue the situation, Charles opened his mouth first. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry Evelyn!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± In essence, perpetrators do not remember past mistakes. However, if the perpetrator is not an evil person at heart, there are cases where he realizes his mistake even belatedly and spends his entire life atonement. Charles was in the latter case. When Evelyn suddenly left, he was unable to live honorably, scolding himself for being mean to her. ¡°I heard that you were taken in by a foreign noblewoman. It was fortunate for you¡­¡± Charles trailed off as he recalled the memory of that time. Evelyn, who had never expected that the child who had treated her so badly would apologize like this, was simply distraught. ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot, but you¡¯re still the same as you were then, right? ¡°You have pure white skin¡­ I didn¡¯t know it then, but you¡¯ve become a pretty young lady now, right?¡± sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Huh huh!¡± Evelyn raised the side of her head innocently in response to Charles¡¯ pure praise without any sense of malice. Just like Calliope, who pretended to be a noble lady, often did. ¡®It¡¯s too late to apologize now! I think you¡¯re in love with my appearance. What should I do? ¡®I¡¯m not even interested in you!¡¯ Evelyn acted arrogantly. However, from Charles¡¯s next words, it was clear that the compliment was not uttered with malicious intent. ¡°But these people¡­? Oh no, do you want to come to my house? ¡°I¡¯ll also introduce you to my wife.¡± ¡°?¡± Evelyn¡¯s eyes widened at Charles¡¯ words, wondering if she had misheard. You must have heard it wrong, right? Wasn¡¯t that mean alley leader Charles¡­ in love with me? ¡°Why are you so dazed? Oh, is there somewhere else we should stop by¡­¡± ¡°No. it¡¯s okay. ¡°We would be grateful if you invited us.¡± Dio answered instead of Evelyn. * * * It¡¯s okay to be a childhood friend, but what would it be like if a child who lived in the same village as a child ended up getting married? ¡°I haven¡¯t been in a relationship yet¡­¡± Dio clicked his tongue as he looked at Evelyn, who was muttering softly at the end of the group. ¡®I guess he was a bad boy when he was young, but now he¡¯s a healthy young man.¡¯ Dio thought as he looked at the back of Charles, who was guiding his companions and himself reliably. Even if it is a wrong action committed when one is immature, that mistake is not forgiven. However, you cannot kick someone who regrets and sincerely apologizes. ¡®Rather, it went well. Even if Charles feels sorry, he will be nice to us.¡¯ It would not be good if Calliope causes trouble in the village where it is based. ¡°I also feel somewhat sorry for Evelyn¡¯s colleagues. ¡°I was very young back then¡­¡± Charles seemed to care about Evelyn and recited to Dio as if atonement for his immature actions. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about that separately later. Are you by any chance the village chief¡¯s son?¡± The story between Evelyn and Charles is not that important to Dio. Dio noticed that Charles was active as a member of Ox and immediately got to the point. ¡°How did you know? Ah, I guess Evelyn told me. That¡¯s surprising. Evelyn probably didn¡¯t even want to remember me or her father¡­¡± Charles said as if he was very surprised that Evelyn remembered people from the past to some extent. However, contrary to what Charles had guessed, Dio had heard nothing from Evelyn. Nevertheless, the reason Dio expected Charles to be the chief¡¯s blood relative was because he resembled the chief of Oaks that he remembered. ¡°I am still lacking, but I am following in my father¡¯s footsteps and learning in many ways.¡± As if Dio¡¯s prediction was correct, Charles grinned and led the group across the residential area lined with houses. ¡®You seem to be resourceful. Well, it¡¯s a base managed by Calliope¡­¡¯ Dio thought as he entered the Ox and looked around. When Dio visited, Oaks had a much more floating population than it does now. There is only one reason why players come to Ox. To find Calliope, the Witch of Balance. That¡¯s all Dio didn¡¯t know about Ox in the early days. ¡®If I were to count it in terms of time¡­ it would be about a year. that¡¯s right. The village chief back then wasn¡¯t much different from Charles now.¡¯ Dio nodded, remembering the future Charles, whose eyes were calmer than now. I only called him village chief, but I only found out his real name now. In any case, the current Charles is not the village chief. Although Calliope only has one representative, Dio sneakily brought up the story about Ox¡¯s ¡®jewel¡¯ just in case. ¡°Do you know where the jewel is?¡± ¡°yes? Jewelry? ¡°What kind of jewel?¡± Charles¡¯s reaction to Dio¡¯s words, asking why he¡¯s such an idiot. The chief of Hallshtar also pretended not to know at first, but it was different then. ¡®I guess they haven¡¯t taken over the matter regarding the Witch of Balance, who is treated as a guardian deity of the village¡­ yet.¡¯ Unlike the village chief, there is no sense of lies in the simple young man who maintains an innocent expression from the beginning. ¡°it¡¯s nothing. ¡°Ah, is this Charles¡¯s home?¡± Dio spoke slyly and pointed to the house he had arrived at. ¡°yes. It¡¯s shabby, but come in. Evelyn? You too, come in quickly.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Evelyn looked around the house with a perplexed mind after hearing Charles¡¯ words about taking care of her first. A house made of strong wood as pillars and a mixture of hard bricks and mud. There was an elegant pavilion in the yard and a neatly organized chicken coop in the corner. ¡°It¡¯s cozy. It¡¯s the perfect size for a newlywed home. ¡°Miss Heart, how do you like a house like this?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Did I have a fantasy about a neat country town? He obviously owns a magnificent mansion, so why would he covet such a simple country home? It was Artes who dared to bring up the story of his newlywed home to Sepia. Charles spoke on behalf of Sepia, who ignored Artes. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s not something I can brag about to others. ¡°I have to work hard to expand further.¡± ¡°Where is your wife?¡± Evelyn, who seemed to have a lot of intentions, spoke harshly. ¡°My father-in-law came and went to his parents¡¯ house. ¡°My father-in-law is a peddler, so I don¡¯t see him often.¡± Charles said as he sat Dio and his friends inside the house. ¡°It¡¯s almost time to come¡­ Could you wait a moment? Since it¡¯s in front of here, I¡¯ll come back quickly.¡± Charles apologized to Dio and hurried outside. * * * Dio and the others were sitting on soft chairs, enjoying the first time in a long time of relaxation. Meanwhile, Evelyn was biting her fingernails and muttering to herself as if she were resentful¡­ ¡®But she¡¯s not that immature.¡¯ From Evelyn¡¯s perspective, it is a situation that could be quite grumpy. Isn¡¯t the child who bullied you getting married, buying a new home, and living happy days? Dio, a modern man, could understand even if he cursed Charles right away. However, Evelyn, the person involved, did not take such revenge. ¡®He¡¯s nice. ¡®It¡¯s because it¡¯s a bit lame.¡¯ After seeing Evelyn decomposing alone, Dio felt Sephia¡¯s eyes on him and looked at her. ¡°Is the Witch of Balance here? Even though he¡¯s the village chief, it doesn¡¯t seem like he really knows anything¡­¡± Sepia said, thinking about what happened in Hallshtar. Although Sephia was following Dio¡¯s words and wandering around the village, she was wondering if she could actually meet Calliope this way. ¡°witch? The Witch of Balance? What does that mean? Heart Lady.¡± As soon as the word witch came out of Sepia¡¯s mouth, Ates quickly joined in their conversation. ¡°Ha-there.¡± Sepia sighed at Ates¡¯ behavior, interfering with even the smallest details, even though she had been told to act wisely. However, it was not only Ates¡¯ tactless behavior that was bothering Sephia now. ¡°Can you please stop calling me that lady?¡± ¡°yes? ¡°No, I¡¯m¡­¡± For whatever reason, Artes added a title in an attempt to become friends, but when he heard Sepia say something for no reason, Ates felt intimidated. ¡°Dio. ¡°I keep getting lost in the conversation, so why don¡¯t you tell me to some extent?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Dio was lost in thought at Sepia¡¯s suggestion. At least some explanation seems necessary to take Artes with him, who doesn¡¯t seem to be keeping quiet in the future. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t be able to talk about the Witch of Balance as comfortably as we do now. Dio said that since he would know if he met Calliope anyway, he thought it would be a good idea to let him know in advance. ¡°Athes. ¡°I¡¯m telling you now that what we¡¯re doing now¡­is extremely dangerous.¡± ¡°yes? ¡°Isn¡¯t the mission of the Demon King¡¯s army punitive force a dangerous one?¡± ¡°Not just external factors, but also internal factors.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡­¡± ¡°I guess there¡¯s no need for any more pseudonyms. ¡°This is Sepia Eveline Roberto.¡± ¡°sepia?¡± Ates was deep in thought, wondering if this was a name he had heard before somewhere. The name Dio is pretty common, so I just overlooked it¡­ but Dio and Sepia? Before Ates left the Bertio family. He prepared thoroughly for his solo journey. Not only did they obtain equipment and other daily necessities, but also news from the entire continent. In the process, Artes also searched for a list of wanted criminals who would pose a danger to the continent. Because you can catch them and ruin your reputation. For that reason, Artes was able to see. These are the wanted records of two people who recently came into contact with demons in the big city of Rivernos. Since the Order of Luna had issued a direct order, Ates looked into it with interest. Those two wanted criminals are none other than¡­ ¡°Ah!¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 81 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 81Episode 81 ¡°You probably didn¡¯t see it wrong. ¡°That warning was issued by Luna to catch us.¡± Dio, who confirmed from Ates¡¯ reaction that he had seen his wanted badge, nodded and said. ¡®Wouldn¡¯t it be better to clearly inform Luna of her danger?¡¯ Of course, Dio does not intend to tell Ates the whole story. What I¡¯m saying now is just a device to make it easier to move on to the future story. Dio says that they are the people pursued by the Luna Church and that the beings they meet in the future are also on the same side. ¡°What we do is so secret that it is misunderstood even in the Holy Kingdom.¡± ¡°Are you saying that even the Holy Kingdom doesn¡¯t know about the existence of the Demon King¡¯s army punitive force?¡± ¡°okay. The helpers of the punitive force do not have ordinary status. ¡°The Witch of Balance that we have to meet now is the one being chased by Seongguk.¡± ¡°That¡­¡± Although he didn¡¯t know who the Witch of Balance was, Ates could understand why Dio was saying this to him. If he, who is a Confucius, continues to join them, there is a risk that he will be regarded as a heretic by the Luna Church. That¡¯s exactly what Dio is talking about. ¡°You have personal things to carry. Still, are you going to take the risk and join us?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Artes hesitated, looking into Dio¡¯s now serious eyes. This is different from just suffering and being in danger yourself. ¡®If I am accused of heresy¡­ my family and territory¡­¡¯ The Duke of Bertio, a prestigious family that prides itself on being the best in the Eastern Continent. However, the fact that even the emperor of the empire is being chased by the Luna Church, which is aware of their concerns, is not something that can be taken lightly. but. still¡­! ¡°Your secret. ¡°Is that for the sake of peace on the continent?¡± ¡°¡­yes.¡± It was for Dio¡¯s personal life rather than for the well-being and peace of the continent, but¡­ there was no need to say that. Whatever the reason, the end result is to prepare for the devil who will come in the future. Dio felt nervous as he saw Artes hesitating about something. It would be such a waste to cut off the relationship with Artes like this. However, considering the personality of Artes that we have seen so far, Dio clearly knows what to say. ¡°Of course, it won¡¯t be an easy problem. The work we do is difficult, the pay is low, the bitter cold, the scorching heat and the darkness that lasts for months. ¡°We must take risks that cannot guarantee safety against all these risks.¡± Dio spoke solemnly, citing a job posting for a great explorer who left a lasting mark in history. ¡°What¡¯s left at the end?¡± Dio concluded his last words while extending his hand toward Ates. ¡°glory. and¡­.¡± ¡°¡­?¡± ¡°honor.¡± ¡°Ugh!¡± Ates let out an exclamation as he felt something boiling in Dio¡¯s words. ¡°Why is he like that?¡± Evelyn¡¯s cunning, who was not at all interested in Ates¡¯ silent fight, was heard. Evelyn, who could not sympathize with Ates¡¯ serious attitude of having to think about her family at all, thought it was just a low price. For some reason, the scene resembles that of a rich boy who was taken in by a conman. The other party members who felt this also had the same thoughts as Evelyn, but did not dare to say it out loud. ¡°I¡¯ll do it! Burn this life and join you on your journey! For glory and honor!¡± ¡°okay. okay.¡± ¡°Hahaha glory! honor!!¡± Ates cried out while holding Dio¡¯s hand, and Dio comforted him. In a situation filled with determination for some and tricks for others, the door burst open. ¡°uh?¡± Evelyn immediately recognized the new people brought by Charles and jumped up. * * * ¡°Eveline!¡± ¡°I was so sorry back then!¡± Two lanky country youth knelt down and apologized to Evelyn. ¡°it¡¯s okay. I¡¯ve already forgotten what happened back then. ¡°I am a generous wizard.¡± ¡°Oh oh! Wizard? ¡°You succeeded, right?¡± ¡°of course. Jansen, you¡¯re already bald. I thought so.¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± Jansen, who was clearly the same age as Evelyn, bitterly stroked his bald head. ¡°Aberdeen. You should shave your beard. ¡°You¡¯ve been dirty since long ago.¡± ¡°Is that so? Sorry.¡± Everdeen also stroked his beard and simply apologized for Evelyn¡¯s harsh words. This was probably because they felt just as sorry for Evelyn as Charles. ¡°This is our first meeting, right? This is Monelline, Charles¡¯ wife. ¡°I heard a lot from him.¡± ¡°What is he talking about?¡± Evelyn grumbled at Monelin¡¯s kindness. but. It was clearly just a painful memory, but for Evelyn, even that was a memory. Or perhaps she was relieving stress by letting out all the anger she had been holding in, but she didn¡¯t seem to be in a very bad mood. Leaving them behind, Dio exchanged greetings with the new people who came in with Jansen and Everdeen. ¡°This is my father and the chief of Oaks. And this is my father-in-law, Lord Taliman.¡± ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± Charles represented the group and introduced people to Dio. In addition to the news that Evelyn had returned to Oaks, the owner of the upper house heard that she had come with a stranger colleague. He was intrigued by this and added that he would come along. ¡°Where do you come from?¡± ¡°I¡¯m from the far west.¡± ¡°Wow, you came from far away. West ah It¡¯s a dizzy neighborhood. ¡°Oh, this guy is my employee.¡± Taliman shook hands with Dio and introduced his staff next to him. ¡°My name is Hans.¡± Is this a merchant¡¯s unique habit? The bespectacled merchant said hello and quickly glanced at Dio and the others. They may be trying to sell or buy items from unscheduled visitors. but. A merchant whose eyes sparkle as he sees someone. It was as if he had discovered a treasure. * * * While Dio¡¯s group was talking with Charles and the villagers, Dio sat down separately with the village chief of Oaks. Not at Charles¡¯ house, but at a shelter set up in the village. ¡°Topaz¡­ you mean?¡± The pseudonym of Calliope, who works in Ox, is Topaz. ¡°You are the guests that Topaz was talking about.¡± Like the chief of Hallstatar, the chief here also seemed to have heard something from Calliope and easily understood the reason for Dio¡¯s visit. This makes the story easier. ¡°Is he here now?¡± Dio immediately asked the village chief about her whereabouts. ¡°He said he would visit the lake outside the village for a few days and then come back. ¡°He¡¯s probably back by now.¡± ¡°Lake?¡± ¡°yes. I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re doing. ¡°He often stops by the lake.¡± lake. I vaguely remember it. The memory of fighting against Calliope, who was meditating there. Since I know the location, I was thinking that it wouldn¡¯t be a bad idea to go there right away. ¡°It¡¯s not that far from the village, but¡­ Topaz doesn¡¯t really welcome people coming to the lake.¡± ¡°is it so?¡± After hearing the village chief¡¯s next words, Dio immediately changed his mind. ¡®I wonder what she¡¯s doing at the lake¡­¡¯ But there¡¯s no need to upset her. Literally, if you visit for no reason, a battle event may occur like the player did. According to the village chief, he was returning to Oaks, so it seemed better to wait for now. ¡®Still, I¡¯m glad I confirmed it was in Ox.¡¯ If Calliope wasn¡¯t in Ox, I would have had to go through the trouble of looking for the village again. ¡°Then, I will take care of you in the village in the meantime.¡± ¡°of course. ¡°You are Topaz¡¯s honored guest. Please rest at ease.¡± * * * After finishing his conversation with the village chief, Dio headed to the annex he had prepared. Since the number of people in the group was not small, it was difficult to wait at Charles¡¯ house, the newlywed¡¯s home. So, the village chief took great care to provide a separate building built to welcome guests from outside the village. Dio was able to see Roberto first settling down in the neatly organized outbuilding. ¡°Are you here?¡± Roberto, who was sitting at the table clinking beer glasses with Eveline¡¯s friends, welcomed Dio. ¡°What about the other kids?¡± ¡°Heart and Clover went out for a bit with the merchants¡­and Jack will look around the neighborhood.¡± Although Clover¡¯s identity was revealed, Roberto used a pseudonym because he still needed to disguise his identity to the other party members. Dio nodded and sat down in the empty seat. ¡°okay. ¡°It would be best for everyone to rest now.¡± ¡°Did the story go well?¡± ¡°Some extent.¡± Dio ended with a short answer to Roberto¡¯s question. Because there were many listening ears at this table. ¡°Dia, please get a drink too!¡± The bald-headed Jansen offered Dio a drink. ¡°Then I won¡¯t hesitate.¡± The only people currently gathered for a drink were Roberto Jansen Aberdeen and Charles¡¯ wife, Monelline. Charles seemed unable to participate because he was busy with his work as acting chief. ¡°I heard you are wandering all over the continent. ¡°What are you doing in a village like this?¡± ¡°Diamond Heart Clover¡­sounds like the name of a poker card¡­excuse me, but what do you do?¡± Dio answered the questions of Janssen and Everdeen, who were slightly drunk. ¡°I stopped by while I was passing by while working as a mercenary. ¡°It is also Evelyn¡¯s hometown.¡± However, Jansen, who was listening to D.O., opened his mouth with wide eyes as if someone had already hit the player. ¡°A mercenary? I heard that Evelyn is carrying out a secret mission as part of her job as a court mage.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Hearing Jansen¡¯s words, Dio looked at Roberto, but he, too, seemed to be embarrassed, so he just swept his face with his palm. ¡®If the royal wizard makes up the name of someone¡¯s dog¡­ it¡¯s sweet.¡¯ Dio was obviously irritated inside by the story that Evelyn must have told, but he could not confiscate Evelyn as a liar. Because you want to tell people in your hometown that you are doing well. ¡°Ah¡­I¡¯m telling you this because we are friends from Evelyn¡¯s hometown, but it is a secret mission. He was disguised as a mercenary. Haha, I believe you will keep the secret.¡± ¡°Oh, I see. ¡°These are precious people!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re a court wizard, you¡¯re from the capital of the empire, right? ¡°Somehow¡­¡± Monelin, who was carrying the alcohol, joined in the story with an envious look in her eyes. Then, even though there were many empty seats, I sat down next to Roberto and looked at him intently. ¡®Is that okay?¡¯ Dio felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness from Monellin, who was looking at Roberto appreciatively. The current Roberto is very different from his days in Estellum, when he was busy with work. The pale skin disappeared and its skin became shiny, probably because it had been eating well and maintaining a smooth supply of blood (it was fed our blood). Basically, vampires are a race as noble as nobles. They are a race that tempts people and takes their blood. It¡¯s all said and done if the most famous vampire is a count. ¡®As expected, racial characteristics cannot be ignored.¡¯ Fortunately, Roberto was not a vampire who drained blood from random people. Dio tried to ignore Monelin¡¯s reaction. While he was still drinking, Dio was able to spot a figure running from afar through the open door. ¡°Hurray!¡± ¡°What is this again?¡± The one who appeared in front of Dio was Evelyn, who said she wanted to do some business with the merchant. She strutted around with all kinds of accessories and showed them off to Dio. ¡°Look at this, isn¡¯t it cool? ¡°If you buy 10, you get 1 free!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± He definitely had the image of a miser, but I guess that wasn¡¯t the case. This person is just the embodiment of material greed, who likes money and luxury. ¡°Look at this! Necklace and ring set! If you buy it as a set¡­¡± Dio looked pitifully at Evelyn, who seemed to have been taken in by the merchant¡¯s flashy words. ¡®There are more reasons to stop by the warehouse quickly.¡¯ What Evelyn purchased were only luxury goods and items that did nothing to help her grow.

It¡¯s pretty! ¡°Is it okay to buy this much?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not okay. Where is the merchant? ¡°Go and return it right away.¡± ¡°why!¡± Evelyn threw a tantrum, but Dio was not generous enough to accept her pampering. I also happened to have some business to see the merchant. ¡°Bring me and follow me.¡± ¡°Ugh~¡± Dio said, and Sephia grabbed Evelyn, who was struggling to go, and forcefully dragged her. Dio, who was wandering around looking for a merchant, found Ates playing with children in a vacant lot in the village. ¡®He¡¯s doing this here too.¡¯ As he was looking around the village, he seemed unable to shake off the children who approached him as if they were curious. However, there was no sign of forcing play at all. Rather, I felt rewarded by the constant laughter of the children. But Dio soon looked away. ¡®That guy¡­¡¯ A person caught in Dio¡¯s field of vision. Hans, a subordinate of the upper class seen at Charles¡¯ house, was watching Ates from afar, just like Dio. Not long after that, he appeared to approach Ates in a friendly manner. ¡®As expected, this is the Hans I know.¡¯ Dio, who watched this, also took steps towards them. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 82 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 82Episode 82 ¡°What are you all doing here?¡± ¡°Ah, Diamond.¡± Ates and Hans turned their heads to look at Dio, who suddenly intervened. ¡°It was amazing to see Jack playing happily with the children, so we chatted for a while. I guess mercenaries are a bit¡­ tough. haha.¡± ¡°is it so?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t children our future and worthy of love?¡± Ates¡¯ answer immediately follows Hans¡¯ words. As a result, Dio was able to immediately put aside any thoughts he might have had. The idea is that he might use the commoners for political purposes in preparation for the day when he returns to his family¡­ ¡®The basic mindset is completely different from the older brother who ruined Dongbu.¡¯ Dio smiled faintly as he remembered the head of the family, Bertio, who later caused a major accident in the eastern region, but was now only the eldest son. ¡°As expected, Jack is a person who will become great.¡± Hans, a merchant who was listening next to me, suddenly began to express admiration. ¡°I recognized it at a glance with my merchant¡¯s perspective.¡± ¡°yes? ¡°What?¡± ¡°That he is someone who will stand in a leadership position. Isn¡¯t that right? ¡°Dia?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Hearing what Hans said, as if he was thinking about something, Dio just pointed his thumb at Evelyn next to him. ¡°Could you please refund this?¡± ¡°Oh, I guess you don¡¯t like the items.¡± ¡°Hey, I like it¡­.¡± ¡°Use it!¡± Evelyn cried at Dio¡¯s bitter words and handed over the accessories she had to Hans like eating mustard. ¡°I gave it to you at a special price because you are a friend of Mr. Charles, but it¡¯s a shame.¡± Hans expressed regret over losing Evelyn, who was clearly a hot girl, but did not force him to buy any more. As if this was just a small matter. ¡°Then I¡¯ll just leave.¡± ¡°Yes, please come in.¡± After gathering all his belongings, Hans immediately left for the carriage at the top. And Dio just watched in silence as the merchant left. * * * ¡®Ates Vertio. ¡®There¡¯s no doubt about it.¡¯ Hans, the glasses merchant, was sure. He happened to stop by Oaks following the merchant, Taliman. Taliman heard that his son-in-law¡¯s friend was visiting Oaks and went to visit them with Hans. Their original purpose was to sell something to Evelyn and his colleagues or to buy specialty products only found in distant regions. For merchants, a relationship with a new person begins and ends with a transaction, so they are simply acting as merchants. but. ¡®Confucius, you should have been careful. There is so much trouble in the Duchy of Bertio right now to find the prince¡­¡¯ The Duke of Bertio even offered a reward to find the second son who ran away from home, and Hans recognized Ates through this. A man who introduced himself as Jack. Even though it was my first time meeting Artes, I couldn¡¯t avoid Hans¡¯ keen attention. The Bertio family boasted of having shiny blonde hair and a sculpted appearance. Hans, who had dealt with numerous nobles, could instinctively feel that Jack was a valuable master as soon as he saw him. Of course, you can¡¯t be sure based on looks alone. The previous feelings only created the suspicion, ¡®Isn¡¯t it Confucius?¡¯ However, there was evidence that confirmed the suspicion. ¡®The pattern engraved on the sword. Unless you¡¯re crazy, you wouldn¡¯t dare impersonate the Bertio family.¡¯ A merchant must have a good sense of vision. What product is defective and what the customer wants. Hans¡¯ eyes, which do not miss even the smallest detail, did not miss the characteristics of the sword Ates was wearing. A small engraved lion-shaped pattern. It was undoubtedly a symbol symbolizing the Bertio family. ¡®Hehehe. After all, my abilities are too good to be left as an assistant to a small merchant wandering around the countryside like this.¡¯ Hans followed and observed Ates thoroughly. And I was confident in my conversation with him. There is a rumor that Bertio¡¯s second son, unlike other nobles, treats commoners without discrimination. If the rumor was true, the man in front of me named Jack was a person who perfectly matched the Attes that Bertio was looking for. ¡®How much was the reward? No, that¡¯s not important now.¡¯ Hans was confident that he knew better than anyone else that the distant future was more important than the immediate gold. ¡®I am Hans, a merchant. ¡®Starting with my relationship with Confucius, I will form my own caravan company!¡¯ Hans, who was able to bring out the great ambition he had kept in his heart, placed the refunded goods in a small merchant¡¯s carriage that had arrived before he knew it. He didn¡¯t have time to worry about such trivial transactions right now. ¡®Because the owner of the merchant said he would have tea with the village chief for a while¡­¡¯ Hans prepared the carriage so that he could leave as soon as the owner of the merchant came back. He was anxious to reach a city where he could send a telegram as quickly as possible and contact Bertio. ¡®By the way, do those people I go with don¡¯t know Confucius¡¯ identity?¡¯ Hans thought of an unusual young man called Diamond. The people who accompanied Ates were all unusual. But among them, the energy of the person named Diamond was one that Hans had never experienced before.

Maybe you can report it before me.¡¯ However, Dia¡¯s actions were questionable to be certain that she knew his identity. If I had known that he was Confucius, I would have treated him much more deferentially, but I didn¡¯t get that feeling from Diamond. ¡®It doesn¡¯t matter what. ¡®I just report it first and that¡¯s it¡­huh?¡¯ Hans, who had roughly organized the carriage, looked up when he noticed Diamond approaching him from afar. They would have refunded all the items¡­do you have any business? What is that in your hand? rope? * * * The barn located behind Charles¡¯ house. The items in this shabby barn were full of dust, as if the repairs to the newlywed home had not yet been completed. -Eup! In the middle of the barn, Hans was tied to a chair, struggling and shaking. And one person looking at him. Dio removed the gag from his mouth. ¡°Fuha!¡± Hans, who was very frustrated, took a deep breath and glared at Dio, who had kidnapped him. ¡°What is this? Kidnapping in the middle of town! Do you not know who I am? ¡°I am an assistant to the Taliman Merchants¡­¡± ¡°Would you like to be quiet yourself? Or do you want to be forced to be quiet?¡± When Dio raised the stick covering his mouth and threatened, Hans covered his mouth in cold sweat. ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°That¡¯s wise.¡± Dio looked at Hans, who had calmed down, and grinned. Hans Klein. The reason Dio remembers him is because he was the treacherous son of the eldest son of Duke Bertio who would succeed him. Being able to walk a tightrope and be quick-witted is also an ability. Even though Hans knew that Ates was more capable, he stood in line as the eldest son supported by the family. It is perhaps natural that crisis comes to the Bertio family, where only a foolish duke and a group of traitors who enrich themselves are left behind. ¡®Should I have been a little more careful?¡¯ I never thought that there would be someone in a village like this who would recognize the Bertio family¡¯s second son. Even though the Bertio family is famous, they recognize the second son, who is not a duke, much less the eldest son. Of course, there is nothing strange about this, considering the fact that Hans is not a person from Ox, but a merchant wandering around the region. However, Dio had applied perception-impairing magic to Artes through Evelyn. Nevertheless, the reason Hans was able to recognize Ates¡­ ¡®I guess it¡¯s because of those glasses.¡¯ Dio looked closely at the glasses of Hans, who was looking at him with fearful eyes. The ¡®Emotional Glasses¡¯ were a low-level artifact often used by novice merchants as they allowed one to see through the hidden power of objects to some extent. Evelyn¡¯s magic is not weak enough to be easily penetrated by low-level artifacts. However, if the outstanding insight and emotional glasses that Hans himself possesses are added. Even if you cannot see its true face, you can deduce its hidden identity. The good news is that although Evelyn¡¯s perception-impairing magic was pierced, the one cast by Crassus was not detected. ¡®In the first place, Artes will never come to Ox. ¡®I guess it¡¯s a coincidence that the two of us met here.¡¯ Dio knew very well why Hans was trying to approach Ates. It must have been to establish a relationship with the Bertio family who were looking for Ates. This coincidence may have led to a future in which Hans would not be a traitor, but that was not what was important to Dio right now. ¡®Even if we expel Ates from the party, the Duke family won¡¯t leave us alone.¡¯ There is only one reason why Dio locked Hans in the barn. This is because it is obvious that if Hans, who recognizes Ates, reports it to the Bertio duchy, it will be a hassle in many ways. Dio has to stay in Ox while Calliope returns. In a situation where one cannot move, it is impossible to resist Bertio¡¯s pursuit of Ates. You can¡¯t kill Hans carelessly, even if it¡¯s just to keep the secret a secret. ¡®There are many people who are suspicious of the disappeared Hans. And you don¡¯t have to become a murderer.¡¯ The Hans that Dio saw was a vicious merchant who overturned Bertio¡¯s power and sucked the backs of the common people. But right now, Hans has not committed a crime or done anything wrong. From a third party¡¯s perspective, Dio was at fault for forcibly imprisoning Hans. However, I can¡¯t leave Hans alone here. ¡°Mr. Hans? ¡°Let¡¯s just make one deal.¡± ¡°You mean that deal?¡± Hans swallowed his saliva at Dio¡¯s words. ¡°You noticed. ¡°Jack¡¯s identity.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°As you know, Prince Ates has no intention of returning to his family right now. Why would he run away from home?¡± ¡°I guess so.¡± ¡°But I would not be in a position to stop Mr. Hans from informing the Bertio family about this.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all natural. I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. ¡°This is an outright crime!¡± Hans spoke courageously when Dio said that he did not look like a murderer. ¡°So let¡¯s make a deal. Two days. ¡°Please stay quietly in this barn for just two days.¡± ¡°You mean these two days?¡± The two-day period was suggested by calculating enough time for Calliope to return to Ox. I also had to think about quests related to Calliope. It is not too late to take action after looking at the situation at that time. ¡°I won¡¯t necessarily tell you to keep quiet about this matter. ¡°If you just stay here for two days, I will compensate you generously.¡± Dio released the rope that bound Hans¡¯ hands. Then, leaving the rope tied to his feet connected to the barn pillar intact, he handed him a heavy bag. ¡°What about this?¡± Shiny coins visible between pockets. Hans¡¯ eyes widened as he realized that there were more than twenty gold coins in his pocket. ¡°How is it? ¡°If you keep your promise, I will give you this much gold again in two days.¡± ¡°Keukheuhum!¡± If you were to convert your relationship with the Bertio family into gold, how much would it be? If there are people who say that relationships cannot be measured in money, think again about whether the gold they are offering is not enough. Seeing Hans rolling his eyes, Dio could tell that the merchant¡¯s trait had been activated. I¡¯m not saying you shouldn¡¯t report it, but you can get a large amount of gold coins by just waiting in the barn for two days. If you¡¯re a merchant, you don¡¯t want to miss this opportunity. ¡°Good Joe. ¡°All I have to do is stay here, right?¡± ¡°Sure. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll provide you with meals on time.¡± Dio smiled at Hans¡¯ acceptance. ¡°I told Master Taliman well that he had some business to do with us before returning to the top.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s response, which had already expected Hans to agree, Hans just nodded silently. ¡°Then, let¡¯s assume this deal has been agreed upon by both parties¡­¡± Dio left Hans in the barn and went outside, spitting out his last words. ¡°See you in two days.¡± Squeak-thump. The barn door closed and Dio turned around and gave instructions to Evelyn who was waiting for him. ¡°With your detection magic, you can tell right away, right?¡± ¡°of course!¡± Just in case, I even used Evelyn¡¯s magic to keep watch. Hans, who has talent as a merchant but that is all he has, will not be able to escape this barn. ¡®The unexpected problem was handled well.¡¯ Dio simply installed the detection magic and looked at Evelyn, who was shaking off her hands. Now all that¡¯s left is simple. Just waiting in Ox for Calliope to return. It¡¯s that simple. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 83 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 83Episode 83 The group stayed in Ox to wait for Calliope. Dio only left a warning to the group not to deviate too far from Ox. Accordingly, everyone in the group took a break in their own way. In Evelin¡¯s case, her memories of her hometown were not that good, but they were not all bad. There were adults who treated her kindly, and the peaceful village of Ox itself remained a place of memories for Evelyn. With that alone, Evelyn was able to spend the free time Dio gave her in a meaningful way. -Look at this! Pretty, right? All the flowers blooming around here are yellow. It was my favorite place when I was a kid! -It¡¯s Oncidium. I like it too. Evelyn and Sepia went to various places in Oaks, where she had been traveling alone, and talked non-stop. Evelyn and Sepia were happy just looking at the flowers blooming in Ox. Ates not only constantly took care of the children, but from an early age, he also took on the responsibility of helping out on behalf of the village men who were busy with farming. Things like drawing water or moving crops. Ates may be doing it because he likes it, but if other people see it, they might wonder what kind of city person came out to serve in the countryside. And Roberto¡­ -Did you hear what Spade said? -You heard! He is the head of a famous count family? -I guess he¡¯s wandering around looking for a companion. -Ha¡­how romantic it is. It may not have been their intention, but the women of Oaks, who were instinctively attracted to him, created a lot of rumors about Roberto. For some reason, Roberto seems more noble than Ates, the real duke¡¯s master. Because not only the village wives but also the women were interested in Roberto, Roberto went up to a nearby hill alone. There, they say they practice the martial arts that Schuwald taught them, or something like that. Anyway, Dio left his companions wasting their time and rested comfortably in the annex alone. I never thought a quest that just requires waiting could be this sweet. Dio spent his time falling asleep and waking up repeatedly, thinking about what to talk about when he met Calliope. * * * ¡°D.I.O!¡± Someone whispered to Dio, who was sleeping in the largest room of the annex, shaking him. ¡°D.I.O! wake up!¡± ¡°hmm?¡± Dio opened his eyes, saw Evelyn waking him up, and slowly raised his upper body from the bed. Dio, whose blurred vision returned, was able to see not only Evelyn but the rest of the party. ¡°what? ¡°Why are you all gathered together?¡± When Dio asked, Evelyn, who had woken him up, spoke on behalf of the group. ¡°Master¡­.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t hear you very well.¡± ¡°I received a call from my teacher!¡± At Evelyn¡¯s words, Dio, who was still half asleep, began to wake up. ¡°Who contacted you? No contact? how?¡± When Dio asked again as if to confirm, Evelyn held out the crow hanging on her arm without answering. Tsusut ¨C The crow¡¯s body burned with a bright purple flame and instantly transformed into a crystal ball. ¡°Master sent a reply to my familiar. look.¡± Evelyn said while showing Dio her familiar that had transformed into a bead shape. Dio realized that this was a communication network used by witches and looked closely at the bead. Inside the bead, letters floated that looked like someone had scrawled them, and Dio was able to immediately recognize the sentences they made. [Come to the lake.] Calliope¡¯s reply, who must be at the lake near Ox. Dio could tell that Evelyn quickly gathered the group as soon as she received the call. ¡®Did you know we were waiting for you in the Ox? ¡®But why is she calling us instead of coming herself?¡¯ Dio was puzzled, recalling what the Oaks chief said about people not wanting to visit the lake. However, since Calliope was the only one who would send messages through Evelyn¡¯s familiar, it was difficult to suspect or ignore this. Rather, I thought positively that it would be better than just waiting. ¡°Let¡¯s get moving first. ¡°Everyone follow me.¡± Dio, who knew the location of the lake, took the lead and went out of the house. The party also expected Dio to immediately go in search of the Witch of Balance, so they prepared accordingly. Sephia and Roberto seemed to be looking forward to meeting the new seven stars. On the other hand, Ates was different as he had not heard the truth about the power of the sun or the existence of the seven stars. ¡®You say the witch is a helper¡­ but she¡¯s probably casting some strange hex on me, right?¡¯ I was just nervous about the fact that I was going to meet a scary witch. ¡°I heard it would be difficult to get a reply.¡± Dio quickly left the Ox and asked Evelyn. ¡°I know. ¡°It¡¯s my first time receiving an answer so quickly¡­¡± ¡°Something urgent may have happened.¡± Dio thought that there must be a reason why Calliope had called them so urgently. What is that urgent matter? Is it related to the quest? ¡°Have you never been to the lake?¡± ¡°doesn¡¯t exist. ¡°I¡¯ve been in a cave for two whole years since I left this area.¡± Evelyn shook her head and responded to Dio¡¯s words. ¡°I also don¡¯t know what Master is doing in Oaks. ¡°I knew you were going around the village¡­¡± Evelyn had no particular desire to return to her hometown. Evelyn was enjoying herself as the memories came back to her only now, but before she met Dio, she was busy with witch research. Even though she knew that Calliope visited her hometown regularly, she did not bother to follow him. Before moving to the cave, I stayed in Calliope¡¯s house for several years, but I never left and I don¡¯t even know where I am. There was a reason Calliope preferred to wander alone in the first place. ¡®It would be a waste of time if we guessed it ourselves. Anyway, we need to hurry.¡¯ Dio was anxious on the inside, but even if he thought about it further, he couldn¡¯t figure out anything. * * * [Entered the Lake of Topaz.] Calliope has watched Ox for a long time. Perhaps that¡¯s why a lake not far from Oaks was named after her. There is also an interesting tale about Topaz Lake, and it is a common story about a mountain spirit living there. Roughly speaking, when a woodcutter drops an ax into a lake, the spirit of Sansing appears and puts the ax back in his hand. The problem is that the ax that the mountain spirit took out was not a gold or silver ax, but an ax reborn from alloy. ¡®Are you a blacksmith?¡¯ The woodcutter who received the strengthened ax defeated the monsters and thieves invading the village and became peaceful or something. Dio didn¡¯t know how the tale was created, but he was sure that if the mountain spirit existed, it must be Calliope. A setting that seems to have been created by the game company by imitating the tale of the mountain spirit and the woodcutter. Of course, when I was a player, I did all sorts of things to the lake based on this story, but she never came out. So, the established theory was that in order to catch the Witch of Balance, you had to encounter her on the street or in a village. ¡®Now that it has become reality, you will be able to meet Calliope here.¡¯ Quaaaaaa ¨C When Dio¡¯s group arrived in front of the vast Topaz Lake, the water in the lake began to split. ¡®It seemed like there was something underneath the lake.¡¯ Although it was nothing compared to the sea, the eyes of the other party members, except Dio, widened at the strange phenomenon, which was like a miracle of Moses. ¡°Water on its own?¡± ¡°Huh! ¡°Are you sure the witch is on our side?¡± Artificially transforming a natural object, even a large lake like the ocean, is a magic that even the most high-ranking wizards cannot dare to imitate. Despite Ates¡¯ cries full of worry, Dio told him not to worry and pointed to the center of the split lake. At the bottom of the magically divided lake was a beautiful garden made of coral, and in the middle of the garden was a huge mansion. ¡°Wow-¡± Evelyn was also amazed as she looked at the beautiful and magnificent panorama, as it was her first time seeing it. ¡°Let¡¯s go quickly!¡± Unlike the other party members who were cautious, Evelyn, Calliope¡¯s disciple, was simply happy that she had come to her teacher¡¯s domain. ¡°Let¡¯s go too.¡± Following Evelyn, who was running ahead, Dio and his group slowly walked through the split lake. Wooooow ¨C A blue curtain surrounding the mansion. The shield, which seemed to be a barrier created by Calliope, opened a small gap as Dio and his group approached. ¡®They know we came.¡¯ When Dio and the others entered the shield, the gap closed again and at that moment. Sigh-! The waters of the split lake engulfed the mansion as if it were swallowing it up. Fortunately, the curtain blocked water from entering and exiting, so Dio and his group did not get drowned. ¡®Go away to the aquarium.¡¯ After Dio gave a short review and confirmed that he had gained knowledge experience, he slowly approached the mansion and the door opened by itself. Squeak ¨C The moment Dio leads his group and enters the mansion. bang! The door to the mansion, which had opened on its own, closed again in an instant. * * * A dark hallway lit only by orange candles. Plop-plop- S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio and his companions were moving forward along the hallway. ¡°It¡¯s spooky, isn¡¯t it? Maybe it¡¯s because it¡¯s inside the lake, but it seems cold¡­¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± As Ates spoke, bending both arms inward, Evelyn spoke without empathizing with Ates¡¯ feelings. Not only Evelyn but also the rest of the party except Ates didn¡¯t seem to think it was particularly cold. ¡®Is it related to the power of the sun? Artes is not related to the power of the sun¡­¡¯ Thinking of a plausible reason, Dio continued to move forward and eventually they were able to arrive at what appeared to be a huge main hall. Hook ¨C When Dio¡¯s group entered the main hall, the candles that were the only light lighting the area went out in an instant. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t see anything!¡± Complete darkness came upon the group. The companions were embarrassed by this and started an uproar, but Dioman calmly gave instructions. ¡°Everyone light up.¡± Hwaak ¨C Dio gathered the strength in his hands and radiated the power of the sun without even having to take out the lantern. Then, the group followed Dio and each used the power of the sun to create light. ¡°What is it? ¡°How do you light it?¡± However, unlike the rest of the group, only Ates, who could not emit light, was on guard and shouted. It¡¯s as if I alone can¡¯t see anything even though other people are clearly shining the light. ¡°Someone take care of him.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Roberto grabbed Ates and calmed him down. The dark room that the party has now come to is not an ordinary space where light is blocked. This dark space, like the fantasy magic used by Kalfael, has special rules. This means that only those who turn on the light themselves can see their surroundings, and those who do not can see nothing even if their surroundings become bright. This is the basic skill of Calliope, the Witch of Balance, called ¡®Dark Room¡¯. ¡®I had quite a hard time trying to attack this pattern.¡¯ Dio remembered the first time he encountered the Witch of Balance. In those days when there was no attack on Pentacle Castle, Dio could do nothing against Calliope. You might be wondering why simply emitting light is such a difficult strategy¡­ ¡®It¡¯s tricky in that it forces the opponent to emit light and restricts their actions.¡¯ In other words, if you want to continue engaging with Calliope in this space, you must also pay attention to continuing to illuminate yourself. Not only that, the range of light created is very limited. Currently, the space visible to Dio is just a distance that only the surrounding party members can see. The rest of the space was still pitch dark, and the meaning of this was clear. Swoosh ¨C A shadow blade suddenly protrudes from the darkness. Kaan-! Dio, as if he knew this would happen, struck away the blade aimed at his face with his gauntlet. The reason why actions are restricted and the background is colored in darkness. This means that the conditions are optimal for the Witch of Balance to launch a surprise attack. ¡°I¡¯ve already dealt with the power of the sun¡­ That¡¯s pretty good, isn¡¯t it?¡± An elegant voice heard in pitch darkness. ¡°Hello? You are the key?¡± A woman who appeared, clearing away the pitch black¡­ Calliope, the Witch of Balance, smiled brightly at Dio. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 84 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 84Episode 84 ¡°Greetings in the East are rough. Calliope.¡± The attack just now was a sincere attack, so Dio tried to speak calmly, but inside he was very anxious. Is it just the behavior you were trying to test? If not. Can we¡­or can I win? That¡¯s not all. An indescribable feeling of discomfort. It¡¯s quite different from when Dio faced the Witch of Balance as a max level character¡­ ¡®You can¡¯t judge based on your heart alone.¡¯ Dio shook his head to erase from his mind the feeling of discomfort he felt at Calliope¡¯s appearance. Considering Kalphael¡¯s precedent, Dio also assumed the worst possible situation that could occur in Calliope¡¯s meeting. That¡¯s why we were able to prepare for surprise attacks like this. Just ¨C wow ¨C Calliope snapped her fingers and the darkness cleared in an instant. Ultramarine blue hair that goes down to the floor. The gothic dress with red lace on a black background was enough to make Calliope¡¯s elegant face stand out even more. ¡°Master!¡± ¡°okay. Eveline. ¡°You¡¯re just going to finish your research and go out, right?¡± Evelyn, who was running towards Calliope in joy, stopped when she heard her words. ¡°Eh, that¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s just a joke.¡± ¡°Hehehe-¡± At Calliope¡¯s words, Evelyn snuggled into her chest. Dio breathed a sigh of relief at the welcome of Calliope, who seemed to have no further intention of attacking. ¡°okay. ¡°You have found your way.¡± ¡°My way?¡± Evelyn looked up at Calliope, who was stroking her head and speaking. Calliope just smiled and looked at Dio. ¡°hello. ¡°This is Dio.¡± Dio bowed his head, and the other party members followed suit and showed respect. But only one did not. ¡°Tsk!¡± thud! Ates felt something pressing down on him and grabbed his arm. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Artes was crazy from Calliope¡¯s ¡®Dark Room¡¯. Roberto, who was supporting him, checked Ates¡¯ condition. Ates was sweating like a flood, clutching his right arm. ¡°Pa Pal¡­.¡± ¡°Well, I only invited four guests here.¡± Calliope dropped Evelyn who was attached to her and approached Ates. Again and again. Dio, who watched this, realized that Calliope had cast a spell on Ates, an uninvited guest, and quickly explained it to her. ¡°Calliope, the Witch of Balance. This man is our colleague. ¡°Please take your hand away.¡± ¡°Ahaha, I don¡¯t know what you, the key, are thinking. ¡°But I have a duty to keep the secret.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio recalled Calliope¡¯s personality that Schuwald had commented on. It is said that she is so independent and devoted to her research that not even the seven stars know what Calliope is doing. From those words, it was possible to infer that she was self-centered and planned and completely excluded anything that went awry in that plan. In any case, Calliope sees Dio¡¯s choice as the key, and sees uninvited guests in her residence who are completely unrelated to the believers of the sun as a risk factor. ¡®Is it natural that Calliope will not trust Ates?¡¯ Dio quickly made up his mind as he looked at Calliope, who seemed to have no intention of giving up on his request. ¡®This is not the time to be wondering whether Artes is helpful to the party. If we don¡¯t protect him, Duke Bertio will also turn against us.¡¯ That just has to be stopped. It was difficult with just the Luna Church and the Demon Lord¡¯s followers, but with even the best duke in the East as a pretender, even Dio would have been overwhelmed. ¡°Calliope, the Witch of Balance. I offer you a deal.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Calliope snorted as if she was interested in Dio¡¯s words. Then he took his eyes off Ates, approached Dio, and spoke in a whisper. ¡°I know that he is the child of the Lion of the East.¡± ¡°Then you also know that we may become hostile towards the Bertio family.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡°Hmm, but I can get rid of Duke Bertio by myself?¡± ¡°It won¡¯t be just the duke¡¯s problem. Bertio is a pillar of the empire. Even Calliope will have a hard time dealing with the Empire.¡± ¡°Well¡­ of course. But the problem is that the lion does not bow to the sun. ¡°What I¡¯m saying is that appeasement with words won¡¯t work for the duke.¡± ¡°The same goes for the moon.¡± Even when Calliope said that he already knew who Ates was, Dio was not surprised and continued calmly. ¡°Calliope, aren¡¯t you curious about how I can tame a lion?¡± ¡°Oh, rather than that, I¡¯m more curious about how you see me?¡± Calliope touched Dio¡¯s shoulder as if he was amused by his words. The companions became restless as Ates¡¯ screams contradicted her extremely alluring behavior, but Dio raised his hand and reassured his companions. ¡°Isn¡¯t what you consider important your own work?¡± ¡°Well¡­ I wonder if I can find out what you think your unique job is?¡± Dio instantly felt Calliope¡¯s hand touching his shoulder trembling slightly. But it is only a very short moment. It may have been an illusion, but Dio was confident that the sense of discomfort he first felt was not wrong. But now there are more things to worry about than that. To save Ates, Calliope makes a satisfactory deal. ¡°I hope you like this item.¡± Dio took out an item that looked like a goat¡¯s horn from his inventory. However, this object, which did not seem to be a simple animal horn, was repeatedly flashing red light on its own. It¡¯s like my heart is pounding. ¡°It is the horn of the Balrog.¡± * * * ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Balrog¡¯s Broken Horn] Grade: Legendary Category: Material Description: A horn that can be obtained from Balrog, the lord of hell. It is known to be harder than diamond and has greater magic resistance than mithril. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Before Dio received Solari¡¯s blessing, his inventory space was limited, so he could only take a limited number of items. So, I collected items that could be used immediately or items that could be used as a last resort with strong destructive power, such as Nidhogg, from the Estellum warehouse. This is because there was too little inventory space to pack all the valuable material items. However, the case of Balrog¡¯s horn is different. It is the best material that the current D.O. can never obtain. Even if it is not used simply in production, it is an item that can be used in many ways, such as creating a portal to hell. ¡®More than anything, Calliope was using a weapon made from Balrog¡¯s horn.¡¯ Dio did not offer the Balrog horn to Calliope simply because it was an item of high value. If you are a player who fought Calliope and won. I already knew what weapon she used, and I also knew that that weapon was none other than a staff made from Balrog horn. ¡®If Calliope knows how to use the horn of the Balrog¡­¡¯ Judging from the way Calliope used magic by waving her hand, Dio judged that Calliope did not have the staff yet. Dio swallowed, looking at Calliope whose expression changed. ¡°Oh my¡­I don¡¯t know how you got this¡­are you okay? ¡°Is it even possible to pay for this guy¡¯s life?¡± Calliope muttered as she looked at the Balrog horn held by Dio. This is something that shows how she thinks about the value of human life, but Dio thought that was fortunate. This means that Calliope values the Balrog¡¯s horn highly and is satisfied with the current transaction. Moreover, the option of giving the Balrog¡¯s horn to Calliope is not a bad situation for Dio. ¡®Demon Lord Rademos.¡¯ Dio thought about the inevitable coming of the demon king Rademos. For him, the best way is to prevent the resurrection of the Demon King. However, Dio could not find a way even with a max level character. No matter how quickly you reach max level, the Demon King will respawn before you do so. From the beginning, Solari also talked about preparing for the Demon King that will come someday, so it is best for Dio to prepare for the Demon King that he will fight someday. ¡°I have a strong feeling that you know what kind of wand I am preparing to make?¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be right.¡± Dio grinned at Calliope¡¯s words. Dio has no intention of facing the not-yet-resurrected Demon King or Luna¡¯s Saint Kaleina alone. In the end, the power of the seven stars must be utilized to the fullest, and if their weapons become stronger, it will be very good for Dio. It is unclear whether Calliope will use the Balrog horn to make other equipment or use it for other purposes. But there is no need to worry about this at all. The person I am dealing with now is the Witch of Balance, who has greater knowledge than most archmages. An archmage may only have lived for about a hundred years, but the Witch of Balance is someone who has devoted herself to research for over a thousand years. ¡®I¡¯m sure it will be useful.¡¯ Calliope, who was thinking deeply about something, eventually nodded and grabbed the Balrog horn that Dio was holding. ¡°Have you accepted the deal?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I especially turn a blind eye to uninvited guests.¡± Just like that, Calliope snapped her fingers at Dio¡¯s words, and only then did Ates¡¯ expression, who was kneeling, become much more relaxed. ¡°Ugh huh huh huh!¡± Ates, freed from the pain, gasped for breath, and Roberto barely helped him up. Calliope didn¡¯t pay any attention to them and smiled brightly as she looked at Evelyn. ¡°You had a hard time coming this far, right? ¡°I haven¡¯t prepared anything, but please rest comfortably.¡± Clap ¨C As Calliope applauded, sumptuous food was placed on the table in the hall where everyone was present. However, perhaps because of the momentum with which Calliope threatened Ates, everyone did not move hastily. The behavior of Calliope, who treated guests calmly as if what had just happened was nothing, was extremely scary. Except for Evelyn. She had already turned to the table. ¡°are you okay. Everyone is resting. ¡°Take care of Artes too.¡± Dio instructed Sepia to take care of the group on his behalf. ¡°all right. ¡°What about Dio?¡± ¡°It seems Calliope has more to talk about with me.¡± After answering Sepia¡¯s question, Dio looked at Calliope, who was holding the Balrog¡¯s horn. ¡°Our cutie. ¡°Should I drink only a little bit?¡± ¡°Ugh-¡± Calliope said, pulling Evelyn¡¯s cheeks as she headed toward the table. ¡°I¡¯m an adult too¡­ Master, don¡¯t you eat with me?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t betray the expectations of a quick-witted child.¡± ¡°Hmph¡­but it¡¯s been a while.¡± As Evelyn spoke while rubbing her numb cheek, Calliope made eye contact with Dio, who was looking at her, and smiled. * * * Dio left the group resting in the main hall and headed somewhere along Calliope. The place they headed was underground. Calliope¡¯s laboratory was there. Although he may have been surprised to learn that there was a place to go further down to the bottom of the lake, Dio was quite interested in Calliope¡¯s laboratory, which he encountered for the first time. -Tiring! [The witch¡¯s laboratory hidden deep in Topaz Lake has been discovered.] [Bonus knowledge experience points are given to the character for special discoveries.] [4152118 knowledge experience points have been obtained.] ¡®That¡¯s incredible. Is there a lab like this at each base?¡¯ There were huge piles of documents and flasks of various shapes lined up that were incomparable to Evelyn¡¯s cave. In addition, smoke was rising from inside the pot containing the bright green liquid. ¡°You are the first time a guest has come to my lab.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± When Calliope waved her hand, a mug from somewhere flew towards Dio. ¡°Jasmine tea. ¡°I enjoy drinking it.¡± ¡°It smells good.¡± Dio thanked her for her advice, but did not drink the tea. Calliope giggled at that and drank tea from the same mug. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s just ordinary herbal tea.¡± ¡°I guess so.¡± Dio could tell that the reason Calliope had called him was because of a quest. But even before that, I had always been curious about something.

Dio put down his teacup and opened his mouth to Calliope. ¡°¡­Which of the five swords are you?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 85 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 85Episode 85: In response to Dio¡¯s question, which did not fit the situation at all, Calliope sipped herbal tea in silence for a while. ¡°When have we ever met?¡± Dio just shook his head at Calliope¡¯s first words that broke the silence. ¡°no. ¡°This is my first time.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­I guess so. But how did you find out? ¡°And that too by naming a specific group.¡± Calliope, who was making an interesting expression, lifted up and revealed the bare skin that was hidden by the sleeves of her dress. ¡®As expected¡­¡¯ Had he been covering his wounds with magic until now? Dio checked the protruding veins on Calliope¡¯s arm. ¡®The inside has completely collapsed due to the mana flowing backwards. Treatment seems urgent.¡¯ Dio could see that Calliope had suffered severe internal injuries. The sense of discomfort I felt in the dark room. That was because Calliope was currently injured. I don¡¯t know about Calliope, but Dio knew more about her than I thought. ¡®I worked hard to conquer Pentacle Fortress.¡¯ S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In order to catch Calliope, the pentagram, I memorized all her gimmicks and patterns. The reason I expected him to make a surprise move after the Dark Room was all because of his experience. However, compared to the pentagram Calliope that Dio fought, it was somewhat lacking. It¡¯s not just a change in fighting style. She felt uncharacteristically impatient. The Calliope that Dio knew was a much more relaxed witch than she is now. ¡®He threatened Ates, who was only an uninvited guest, with his own hands. Calliope is feeling a sense of crisis right now.¡¯ In addition, there were many different medicinal herbs listed in this laboratory. Dio is a master of alchemy. Dio noticed that many of these experimental devices were equipment for treatment. If so, a question arises from that. Who could hurt Calliope? If the Witch of Balance was a worthy enemy, one might think of the same pentagram. Since the nickname Omangseong was originally created by players, their strengths are similar. Whether it¡¯s strength or how difficult it is to deal with. All in all, the five final bosses with the highest level of difficulty are Omangseong. However, except for Crassus, one of the pentagrams and a member of the same seven stars, the other three are quite far from Calliope¡¯s area of activity. ¡®The Thundering Giant is in the south, and Archrich is the royal graveyard. And the last one¡­no, that can¡¯t be possible.¡¯ Of course, it is not strange for unexpected things to happen in today¡¯s world, such as the Witch of Balance being injured. However, like Calliope, they have their own base and certain routes to meet Pentacle are confirmed. Considering this reason, the five-pointed sword, which is much freer than the Five Mangseongs and can be found anywhere on the continent, is likely to be powerful. ¡°I just expected that to be the case since they are the archenemies of the seven stars.¡± A combination of complex reasons led me to a conclusion about the five swords, but I did not bother to voice these thoughts. Calliope also hid her wound again as if she wasn¡¯t really curious. ¡°Okay, enough of the trivial stories. ¡°Why did you come to see me?¡± ¡°I want to awaken the power of the sun inherent in sepia.¡± ¡°Haha, old man, you want me to help you?¡± Dio could tell that the old man Calliope was referring to was Schuwald. Like Kalphael, Schuwald seems to be the oldest among the seven stars. ¡°Do you know how?¡± ¡°Well?¡± Calliope was lost in thought for a moment, wondering if she was remembering Sepia, whom she had encountered in the hall. ¡°I can guess, but¡­it¡¯s impossible as it is.¡± ¡°You mean because of your injury?¡± ¡°okay. As you can see, I was beaten by a terrible guy. ¡°I have a rough idea of what the power of the Chosen One is, but there is no way to awaken it in this state.¡± I don¡¯t know what happened between Calliope and the five swords, but I knew what Dio had to do right now. ¡°You need treatment.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I¡¯m looking for herbs, but it¡¯s not easy with this body.¡± Dio¡¯s eyes lit up at Calliope¡¯s words. Because I could guess what her request was. ¡°Do you think it would be better if you collected the medicinal herbs for me? ¡°If you also got Balrog¡¯s horn¡­ these herbs wouldn¡¯t be a big deal, right?¡± Tiring! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Quest] Meet the Witch of Balance. Content: The Witch of Balance, who suffered deep internal injuries due to mana reflux, needs urgent treatment. She has gathered all the ingredients available in the East to make the elixir, but is having trouble finding the special medicinal ingredients. Please bring me three special medicines for her. Mermaid¡¯s Blood (0/1) Demon¡¯s Ring (0/1) Unicorn¡¯s Tears (0/1) Reward: Sepia Class Revealed. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio smiled as he looked at the list of medicinal ingredients that needed to be collected through the quest. ¡®The elixir could heal Calliope¡¯s injuries.¡¯ Dio immediately opened his inventory. ¡°Do you need these?¡± When Dio took out the ingredients without delay, Calliope looked quite embarrassed. Elixir. It is an item that Dio has produced countless times. Unfortunately, I couldn¡¯t stop by the warehouse where the elixir was stored, so I don¡¯t have the elixir at the moment. But what if these are the top three ingredients required by the quest? ¡°All kinds of things come out in your subspace, right? ¡°Like he knew in advance that I would need it.¡± Mermaid¡¯s Blood, Demon¡¯s Ring, Unicorn¡¯s Tears. These three ingredients are not the only ingredients needed to make an elixir. However, it was natural that the three most difficult and difficult to obtain ingredients were not easy for the injured Calliope to obtain. ¡®Things of high value are in my inventory.¡¯ The mermaid¡¯s blood was found in Evra Village, the unicorn¡¯s tears were found in Rivernos, and the devil¡¯s ring was found in Estellum¡¯s warehouse. This means that Dio¡¯s inventory currently contains all three top-level materials. ¡°You can think of it as the grace of the sun.¡± ¡°My foresight isn¡¯t bad¡­but is it true that the Supreme One is different?¡± Calliope let out an exclamation as if she was fully convinced by Dio¡¯s words and muttered as she accepted the ingredients. In fact, when it comes to prophecy, witches are also indispensable. Just by looking at Calliope, he already knew that Dio and the others would come looking for him. ¡°You will keep your promise, right?¡± ¡°of course. But you also know that I can only look at it when my body recovers, right?¡± ¡°of course. How long does manufacturing take?¡± ¡°I prepared all the basics.¡± As Calliope spoke, pointing to the surrounding experimental equipment, Dio nodded. ¡°It won¡¯t take that long to age the ingredients. Two days¡­ no, one day will do.¡± The elixir combination formula that players worked hard to discover was extremely difficult to obtain. However, if the combination formula had been figured out and Dio was an alchemist class with combination skills, he would have made it in an instant using the system. However, it was natural that even the strongest witch would take time if she could not use the system. ¡°If I bring the reagents I¡¯ve made so far, I can make it faster¡­¡± Calliope said with a sly smile. ¡°Do you have that too?¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be right.¡± ¡°Then what are you doing? ¡°You know, right?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°The three bases I go to.¡± Dio simply nodded at Calliope¡¯s bold request. There was nothing to do right away anyway, and there was no reason to stay quiet if it was to quickly produce the elixir. Dio sighed quietly and answered. ¡°I¡¯ll bring it right away.¡± ¡°okay. You can ignore the barriers at the base. ¡°As long as you enter my lab, those barriers will not stop you.¡± Dio has never been to Calliope¡¯s laboratory as hidden as this one. However, this request was not difficult for him because he knew the areas where she always appeared, such as Topaz Lake. ¡®As long as you go nearby, Calliope will show you a signpost.¡¯ As Dio stood up with the intention of quickly going alone, he suddenly remembered the price to pay for this insignificant errand. ¡°If I bring it to you, will you tell me what happened with the Luna Church?¡± ¡°You won¡¯t take any losses? good.¡± ¡°Besides¡­ it would be better if you also tell me the story of Calliope¡¯s past.¡± ¡°Kyahaha! Are you curious about a lady¡¯s past? Well¡­ that¡¯s good too.¡± Calliope readily accepted Dio¡¯s offer. ¡°Can I leave my companions behind?¡± ¡°That would be difficult, and I don¡¯t want to leave the handsome Confucius in my home. If you want to take care of him, you too will have to take these situations into consideration.¡± Well, considering the Duke of Bertio, Calliope had no reason to leave behind any seeds of anxiety. ¡°In that case, I will leave the group waiting at the Ox. ¡°It¡¯ll be okay, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s it.¡± Upon Calliope¡¯s consent, Dio immediately stood up. ¡°Then I¡¯ll be back.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I will prepare it right away.¡± Dio left Calliope¡¯s laboratory and went to find the group in the main hall. * * * Dio and his companions left Topaz Lake and headed to Ox Village. When the companions asked what he had discussed with Calliope, Dio told them of her request. Of course, Evelin might be worried, except that she was injured. ¡°I¡¯ll go alone, so you guys stay in Ox and prepare for the time being. It will be about two days at most. ¡°By the way, how much did he drink?¡± Dio looked at Evelyn, who was being carried by Roberto. ¡°I just had a few glasses of wine.¡± From Sepia¡¯s words, Dio was able to realize that Evelyn¡¯s drinking capacity was weak. I felt safe and drunk because Calliope was nearby. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re so complacent, even though you¡¯re a disciple of the Seven Stars!¡± Roberto grumbled while carrying Evelyn on his back. However, regardless of whether it was Miu or Gou, it was Roberto who took care of her. ¡®Anyway, I¡¯ll wake up after I get some rest in Ox.¡¯ Dio took his eyes off Sephia and Roberto, who were taking care of Evelyn, and looked at Ates. He had been injured by Calliope, but fortunately he seemed to have stabilized and there seemed to be no problem. Rather, I was relieved to leave the terrible Topaz Lake. ¡°Witch¡­I¡¯m scared.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Dio looked at Ates with pity and called Roberto. ¡°Roberto.¡± ¡°yes. Mr. Dio.¡± ¡°When Evelyn wakes up, can you tell Artes about the power of the sun?¡± ¡°yes?¡± Roberto looked embarrassed at Dio¡¯s unexpected words. ¡°Even if I don¡¯t teach you what you can learn, is that okay?¡± ¡°Is there anything that won¡¯t work? ¡°A believer in the sun is a government official.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Well, if you don¡¯t have any talent, leave it alone. ¡°I just wanted to make Ates a full partner with us.¡± From Dio¡¯s words, Roberto could vaguely guess what he was planning. If Duke Bertio¡¯s second son becomes a follower of the sun, it may be helpful in political terms. At the moment Luna is holding on tightly, it may be poisonous right now, but we don¡¯t know what will happen later. ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try.¡± ¡°okay.¡± It is highly unlikely that Ates, who has no faith in the sun, can use power. ¡®But neither I nor Sephia have any religious beliefs.¡¯ Dio thought that if Solari had chosen him, there was a possibility that other people he had chosen could also become believers of the Sun. ¡®If you don¡¯t completely antagonize the sun, wouldn¡¯t Solari give you permission?¡¯ If it doesn¡¯t work, there¡¯s nothing we can do. ¡°sepia. ¡°You will quickly get to Calliope¡¯s base with me.¡± ¡°all right.¡± It would be better if I went alone, but I can¡¯t leave Sepia because of my oath. Still, since Sephia was the fastest among the group excluding Dio, there seemed to be no problem with time if they went together. ¡°Are we leaving right away?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I will come back as quickly as possible. Please follow me.¡± ¡°yes!¡± After sending the rest of the party to Ox, Dio and Sepia started running towards other bases in Calliope. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 86 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 86Episode 86 Dio and Sepia. It took only one day for them to collect the reagents that Calliope had requested. After making sure to take the reagents, they headed back to Oaks with the intention of joining the rest of the group. I wondered what would happen in just one day¡­ but there was someone who was anxiously waiting for this complacent D.O. ¡°crying! Sorry!¡± Evelyn was in tears, and Sepia comforted her. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Dio was stroking his chin with one hand and thinking about what to do about what had just happened. The current location of Dio is an abandoned barn behind Charles¡¯ house. This was the place where Hans, a merchant who recognized Ates¡¯ identity, was imprisoned. However, Hans, who was supposed to be there, was not seen. ¡°I guess he¡¯s already gone out of town.¡± Dio sighed. It¡¯s not that Hans wasn¡¯t worried about running away. Instead of imprisoning him, they even gave him a large amount of gold coins and promised to give him more gold coins if he behaved well. ¡®Well, you probably didn¡¯t trust me.¡¯ In the first place, confining the river is not a very good solution. So, Dio, who knew this well, told Evelyn to keep an eye on her, but¡­ ¡°Because I was drunk¡­¡± Evelyn was very drunk at Calliope¡¯s mansion in Topaz Lake. It was probably at that point that Hans attempted to escape. Hans, who did not know that Evelyn would be drunk, could be said to have had great luck. ¡®Good luck. No, maybe we¡¯re just unlucky.¡¯ It was only after some time had passed that Evelyn¡¯s drunkenness had completely disappeared that she realized that Hans had escaped. Only then did Evelyn hurriedly go to the barn where Hans was, but he had already escaped. Now this division had occurred. ¡°What should I do?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± In response to Sepia¡¯s question full of worry, Dio glanced at Artes, who had no idea what was going on. I deliberately did not tell Ates about Hans. Because if he knew, he would have urged me to leave Ox in a hurry. ¡®It would be better to deal with Calliope¡¯s business more quickly than to chase after Hans now. Until Hans arrives in the city and contacts Duke Bertio¡­¡¯ Dio calculated the time and slowly stood up. Even if you think about the nearest city to Ox, which is in the countryside, it would take Hans, a merchant, two days to get there by horseback. ¡°Now there¡¯s a reason to hurry.¡± * * * Kwaaaa ¨C When the Topaz Lake split, Dio and the others headed to Calliope¡¯s mansion once again. Hans¡¯ unexpected escape. Dio was anxious because he didn¡¯t know what kind of variable it would be. ¡®I have gained all the knowledge experience points, so I will leave the village as soon as Calliope¡¯s work is finished.¡¯ Thanks to visiting all of Calliope¡¯s hidden laboratories, Dio was able to raise his level with knowledge experience points. I wondered what else I could gain, but with Hans¡¯ work, it was no longer the time to wander around leisurely. Calliope¡¯s work is the most important right now. To be more precise, it means that it is important to help Calliope with her work and complete the quest. ¡°You came early?¡± ¡°yes. ¡°I brought all the items you mentioned.¡± In response to Calliope¡¯s words, Dio greeted her and announced that she had successfully completed her mission. ¡°good. Follow me.¡± ¡°Master! ¡°What about me?¡± ¡°No cuties.¡± ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Evelyn was upset at Calliope¡¯s words, but quickly gave up. This is probably because they already know that they are not the type of person who will listen to you even if you get angry. In the end, Dio, who was the only one invited to the lab, had a private meeting with Calliope once again. Calliope¡¯s laboratory is just a little more organized than the last time I visited. Dio immediately handed Calliope the reagents he had brought from another base. ¡°good. All the ingredients are ready. Now all you have to do is mix it all up.¡± As Calliope stirred the air, various flasks lined up on the table began to move. The ingredients poured all of their contents into a long glass tube, and soon the glass tube began to heat up red. Bubble- ¡°Will it be completed right away?¡± ¡°What¡¯s so urgent? ¡°If you¡¯re bored waiting, would you like me to make you a cup of tea?¡± ¡°no. ¡°I think it would be good if you kept your promise.¡± Dio sat on the empty sofa and looked at Calliope mixing various reagents. ¡°Which of the five swords are you?¡± ¡°Hmm~¡± Calliope snorted as she glanced at Dio while still holding the reagent. ¡°I¡¯m busy right now, so it might be okay to see it in person.¡± Calliope shook off her hands and snatched up the crystal ball that was on the table. He then lightly placed his finger on his temple and removed it. Then, at some point, her fingers were tangled with silver threads that appeared. ¡®Recall spell!¡¯ Dio noticed that the silver thread created by Calliope was her memory. Whirling ¨C Calliope wrapped a silver thread around the crystal ball and threw it in front of Dio. thud! The crystal ball thrown in front of Dio emitted white light and created an illusion. Illusion magic like Kalphael. The fantasy magic shown in the crystal sphere reproduced Calliope¡¯s memories exactly like a hologram. * * * Calliope was sitting on a chair, twisting her beautiful ultramarine blue hair with her fingers. And across from her was a man with blue hair and a gray robe. He had a hunched back and shoulders and looked very thin. ¡°Aldur¡­!!¡± Dio, who immediately recognized the person shown by the crystal ball, muttered. That man¡¯s name is Aldur Filgrey. One of Luna¡¯s five swords. There were two positions representing him: one was the Archbishop of Luna and the other was the owner of the Magic Tower. ¡®Among the magic tower lords of all time, he is the only one who accepted divine power.¡¯ This is a passage that shows how strange Aldur¡¯s position is in a worldview where magic and religion are in conflict. However, he was a genius who transformed countless criticisms into favor and respect through his skills alone. -Caliope It¡¯s been a while. It remains the same. -You are becoming more and more twisted. Calliope and Aldur are naturally talking in the video created by the crystal ball. Dio was surprised that the two knew each other and that they were talking friendly to each other rather than feeling hostile. ¡®If you know Calliope¡¯s name, it means you also know she¡¯s a witch¡­ I guess that¡¯s pretty friendly?¡¯ The Archbishop of Luna would not leave a witch alone. But is it because Aldur is both a priest and a wizard? Aldur wrinkled a lot and even looked at Calliope with concern. ¡®Isn¡¯t it Aldur who injured Calliope?¡¯ Then, why did he bother to show the memory of his conversation with Aldur? Dio tilted his head as he could not understand Calliope¡¯s intention. ¡®You¡¯ll know when you see it.¡¯ Dio focused on the video as if there was nothing complicated to think about. -The atmosphere in the church is unusual. No matter how you are, it¡¯s probably dangerous this time. -Hehe Aldur. I¡¯m always in danger. You know that too, right? -You can¡¯t maintain balance forever. Now you too will have to choose a side. Dio felt puzzled by the word ¡®balance¡¯ in Aldur¡¯s words. Regular players do not know the real name of the Witch of Balance. There is no benefit in finding out her real name in the first place. In any case, the system only refers to Calliope, who is set as the player¡¯s enemy, as the ¡®Witch of Balance¡¯. True to its nickname, Calliope has a skill that rebalances all of the player¡¯s abilities to average. ¡®That¡¯s why it¡¯s very difficult to attack Calliope.¡¯ For example, a warrior class that grew based on strength. This means that the warrior¡¯s strength stat is distributed to other stats that are not needed, making him a useless idiot. Anyway, thanks to these special skills, players understood why Calliope was called the Witch of Balance. ¡®I thought it was called balance simply because of its abilities¡­ but I guess that¡¯s not true.¡¯ Now, in Aldur¡¯s conversation, it seemed as if there was another reason why Calliope was called Balance. Dio listened to the conversation that followed, becoming even more interested in facts he did not know. -This is not the time to be stubborn. The Luna Church sent an official letter to all the magic towers on the continent. He said he would purge all those who were against the church. -The wizards are just watching that? -The Luna Church is afraid that the power of the moon will weaken. That¡¯s why we can no longer leave wizards who chose magic over faith. Wizards believe in magic, not faith. Aldur was a special case, and most wizards still do not have much faith in Luna. That¡¯s why I chose the Luna Church. Using force to subdue wizards who have no intention of taking their side. There is plenty of content to catch on. If innocent wizards are forcibly linked to warlocks and heretics, Luna will have justification to punish them. Even if the justification is not valid, no force will be able to blame the Luna Church. That¡¯s how powerful the Luna Church is. -Even wizards have become targets of the Luna Church, so what are witches like? We are preparing for an unprecedented witch hunt. And that too under the guidance of a saint. -Hehe, that¡¯s really scary. -You do know that the reason the Empire and Luna let you go even though they knew about your existence was because I persuaded them, right? Calliope made no reply to Aldur¡¯s words. -I¡¯ve seen you for a long time. You have never been out of balance. Even though he didn¡¯t trust Luna, he did his best to maintain peace in the East. -An archbishop who praises witches. I wonder how you are alive. -This is not the time to joke. I am the only one who knows that you, a witch, are not evil. The justification of balance to protect you can no longer be used. Aldur¡¯s mood suddenly changed. Dio could tell. At least Aldur, who is friendly to Calliope, is in a difficult situation. -So what do you want to say? -If you give up your identity as a witch and join the Magic Tower, I will be able to continue to protect you. -Haha! Calliope burst into laughter at Aldur¡¯s suggestion. -I¡¯m sorry, but I can¡¯t do that. I¡¯m sorry, but I can¡¯t be Luna¡¯s dog. Oh poor Aldur. I wish you realized just how corrupt the moon you believe in has become. -I¡¯m not as smart as you. However, I have beliefs as a wizard. Dio knew that Aldur, as a wizard, wanted to make the world a better place for people to live. Therefore, what Aldur says now shows that he is doing it for his own beliefs. -Balance makes it difficult to maintain peace. The overwhelming strength of the moon will be able to protect everyone. I believe so. -Quite. As Calliope sneered, Aldur sighed deeply. -Then¡­negotiations broke down. I did my best¡­ Boom! The jeweled staff that Aldur was holding hit the floor violently.

She spoke lightly but also seemed nervous at Aldur¡¯s changed attitude. Calliope, the Witch of Balance. Aldur, the five sword. The illusion of the crystal ball disappeared as the two gigantic beings looked at each other. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 87 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 87Episode 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 ¨C A blindingly bright light erupted across the lake. It¡¯s like the sun is underneath the lake. Wow ¨C 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. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [¡®Meet the Witch of Balance¡¯ quest completed.] Content: With the help of the Witch of Balance, a saint who led the believers of the Sun a thousand years ago was born. .

Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Goddess! ¡°She is a goddess!¡± Ates shouted at Sepia with an ecstatic expression on her face. Sepia ignored Ates and opened her mouth as if excited, feeling the energy of the sun overflowing through her body. ¡°Now¡­I think I vaguely understand. ¡°How should I use the power of the sun?¡± While everyone in the group was amazed at Sepia¡¯s power, Dio was also quite surprised. ¡®Saint of the Sun? Was it possible to obtain a class called saint?¡¯ Dio was lost in thought about a profession he had never seen before, such as a forgotten swordsman. No, I have never seen it. Kaleyna Luna. Her class and title are saint. However, no one except Kaleyna has ever experienced having a class called a saint. Even the players. ¡®What skill did Kaleyna use?¡¯ Although Kaleina and Sepia serve different gods, Dio could not help but compare them to Kaleina, the only saint he knows. ¡®The wide-area detection magic [Moon Gaze] and the wide-area debuffs [Moon¡¯s Anger] and [Dawn of the Dead]. Also, the highest level buff [Moonlight Blessing], which is only activated at night¡­¡¯ There were more than one or two of Kaleina¡¯s morale skills that Dio briefly recalled. If Sepia could grow to Kaleina¡¯s level, there was a strong possibility that she would use the same or comparable skills. ¡®All you have to do is replace the power of the moon with the power of the sun¡­¡¯ Dio stared at Sepia, who was smiling awkwardly as she could not control the power of the overflowing sun. Although she may not be able to use her power at the level of Kaleina right now, it was time to focus more on her growth. But not right away. ¡°okay. ¡°It will take time to get used to it.¡± Calliope suddenly appears in front of Dio and his group and speaks to them. She lightly waved her hand at Dio and the others who were looking at her. * * * Dio took some time away from his companions to talk alone with Calliope. This was because the story to be shared in the future was complicated and sensitive to share with other members of the party, including Ates. ¡°thank you. ¡°Will Sepia no longer run away?¡± ¡°It will depend on whether she fully accepts the saint¡¯s memories contained in her body. ¡°You will have to watch a lot from the side.¡± Despite Dio¡¯s question, Calliope did not give a definite answer. ¡®It seemed like Calliope knew Sepia¡¯s class a long time ago. Maybe all seven stars¡­ By the way, the cause of the runaway is the memories of a saint who existed in the past¡­?¡¯ Sepia contains two memories in one body. Dio seemed to vaguely understand why Calliope was telling this story only to him. ¡°Is it the duty of the great priest to protect the saint?¡± ¡°Daejeon protects everyone.¡± ¡°I want to know more about the old saint¡¯s story.¡± It wasn¡¯t a bad thing for Dio to learn about the background of a saint like the Seven Stars. Moreover, Calliope seemed to know the Saint of the Sun from a thousand years ago well. However, in response to Dio¡¯s question, Calliope shook her head as if it was not yet time. ¡°There must be something more important than that right now, right?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Calliope¡¯s words reminded Dio of the conversation he had with her at the mansion. Calliope says that a dark and ominous energy is coming. There was a need to confirm whether the words simply implied that the Demon King would be resurrected in the future, or whether hostile forces were coming to the current location. ¡°When you say beings that emit magical energy, do you mean demonic beasts?¡± ¡°It could be a demonic beast, or it could be black magicians following the demon lord.¡± ¡°Are you saying they are coming here to Oaks?¡± ¡°okay. I¡¯m honestly curious too. ¡°I wonder why they are coming here¡­¡± Calliope didn¡¯t think that the demon king who was sealed a thousand years ago would be resurrected, but she didn¡¯t seem to be sure. The Demon Lord is not an idiot. As Luna¡¯s power is strong, it doesn¡¯t make sense for them to take the risk of showing themselves out in the open like this. But Dio knows. In this world, shadowy forces are still moving to revive the Demon King. ¡®In the first place, the main story of The Order was planned to be the resurrection of the Demon King.¡¯ Therefore, Dio could not help but believe Calliope¡¯s sense that darkness was approaching. ¡°The devil will be resurrected soon.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± At Dio¡¯s confident words, Calliope just looked at him in silence. ¡°¡­So you¡¯re saying that the appearance of the Chosen One and the Key isn¡¯t entirely due to Luna? ¡°Is this what the sun himself told you?¡± ¡°yes.¡± When asked by Calliope, who assumed that Solari had given a revelation to the Great Warrior, Dio nodded while hiding the truth. Rather than saying that I know the future because I played the game, it was easier to explain it by referring to it as Solari¡¯s revelation, as Calliope guessed. ¡°If it¡¯s as you said¡­¡± Calliope, who was talking a lot, seemed to think of something before explaining a plan to Dio. * * * ¡°¡­So what do you think? ¡°I think it would be possible to make a weapon with this.¡± After finishing her explanation, Calliope took out the Balrog horn she had received from Dio and continued speaking. ¡°I think it would be good if possible, but¡­¡± It¡¯s not that Dio didn¡¯t think about Calliope¡¯s plan just mentioned. But Dio¡¯s position now was different from when he played the game alone. Couldn¡¯t the support of the Seven Stars, a force Dio had no experience with, be able to solve what he couldn¡¯t do? ¡°Well, you can¡¯t just sit still and suck your finger, can you?¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s right.¡± Dio nodded in agreement with Calliope¡¯s words. ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t know exactly who the approaching threat is targeting. ¡°It means they could be targeting me, Sepia, or you.¡± ¡°Then should we run away?¡± ¡°Oh, shouldn¡¯t we fight back? ¡°You can do it, right?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s that dangerous?¡± ¡°No, there is nothing that is not dangerous. But¡­huh. I have a lot to prepare here. ¡°I need you to protect my not-so-perfect body.¡± As Calliope asked for protection, Dio was lost in thought. Although he didn¡¯t show it, Calliope¡¯s injury didn¡¯t seem to be a problem that could be easily overcome. I took the elixir, but it seemed necessary to refrain from excessive behavior. In that case¡­ ¡°I understand. ¡°Then I also have a favor to ask.¡± ¡°Hehe, what kind of request is this?¡± Dio smiled at Calliope¡¯s answer without hesitation. * * * ¡°Are you sure you can leave her behind?¡± ¡°What are you so worried about? ¡°It¡¯s nearby anyway.¡± The woman Ates was talking about was none other than Sepia. Currently, Dio¡¯s group was heading to Ox¡¯s village, leaving Sepia behind. ¡°My heart aches because I am away from Sepia. ¡°Is this by any chance?¡± ¡°He¡¯s acting out again. Hey, even if you worry, we¡¯ll do it.¡± Despite Evelyn¡¯s complaints, Ates¡¯ mood did not improve. Of course, Sepia doesn¡¯t care about Artes¡¯ concerns at all. However, Sepia expressed her refusal, perhaps because she did not want to be separated from Dio, but Dio had a different opinion. ¡®If you want to catch up with Luna¡¯s saint, you have to prepare now.¡¯ What Dio asked Calliope for was none other than Sepia¡¯s training. Sepia, who had awakened the Saint of the Sun, seemed to have no problems on the outside, but needed to be purified. Calliope was the perfect person to help Sephia, who had become accustomed to power or had become a saint, use her new abilities. Since this was Dio¡¯s first class, Calliope, who knew about past saints, was more appropriate to train Sepia. Additionally, thanks to Calliope digging a tunnel, the gap over the pledge of liberation was resolved. He quickly dug up a tunnel connected to the mansion in the direction of Oaks and said that Sepia would be trained nearby. That way it would be safer for both Calliope, who needed to recover from the lake, and Sepia, who needed to learn the saint¡¯s powers. ¡®It¡¯s important to train Sepia, but it¡¯s also important to perfect Calliope¡¯s weapon. Then, what I have to do is¡­¡¯ She said it would take about a day, so in the meantime, I must stay in Ox and prepare for the invasion of the demon beasts that Calliope warned about. But there was one more problem to deal with. -Hey, what are the drivers doing here? -Wow! Look over there. These are real knights! Ox was in turmoil due to the appearance of new outsiders, excluding Dio and his group. When the knights discovered Dio¡¯s group, they immediately turned their horses and approached. Ates, who saw this, shouted in surprise. ¡°Ahh!¡± ¡°young master. ¡°You are really here.¡± The knight who dismounted spoke to Ates. Centered around the knight with a neatly trimmed beard and neatly pulled up hair, several knights wearing plates with lion emblems were seen. ¡°I¡¯m glad you¡¯re safe. ¡°Has anything happened so far?¡± ¡°¡­Lord Calco.¡± When the knight smiled brightly and asked how she was doing, Ates muttered his name. * * * Dio did not know much about the knight of the Bertio family called Lord Calco. If he had been a knight strong enough to count among the Duke of Bertio, he would have been remembered by Dio, but this was not the case with Calco. ¡®Still, I think I only saw it in passing.¡¯ Calco, who seemed to be a senior knight even though he was not a leader, was talking with Ates, and the other knights were watching out for Dio and his group. There were a total of five knights who followed Calco. Not only the knights, but also Bertio¡¯s private soldiers, which were more than twice that number, were accompanied. And a man in robes whispering something to the knights. He was presumed to be the wizard of the Magic Tower. Because the gray robe is the symbol of the Magic Tower. ¡®He must have been able to see through the perception-impairing spell that Evelyn cast on him.¡¯ Still, it seemed like he couldn¡¯t understand the magic that Crassus had cast on him. In fact, it is natural that even the magician of the Magic Tower would not dare to match Crassus¡¯ magical abilities. Evelyn glared at the wizard who had seen through her magic, and Roberto was slapping her and telling her to be quiet. Anyway, even without the help of a wizard, a knight of Calco¡¯s level could easily recognize Ates. Although it is not in Dio¡¯s memory, considering the level of Duke Bertio, Calco¡¯s skills cannot be ignored. ¡°young master. The duke is worried. ¡°Come back with us.¡± ¡°No, I¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s dangerous to be around people like that. ¡°Do you know that an unknown light has appeared around here?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± The magic of Calliope, which converted Sepia into a career change, must have been quite splendid, as Calco also announced that he had seen it from afar. However, Artes could not bear to say that it was a secret mission that the group was carrying out, and instead sent a look to Dio, hoping for help. ¡®That guy¡¯s mouth is heavy.¡¯ Still, Dio needed to step forward in case Artes spouted nonsense without realizing it. Fortunately, the relationship between Calco and Ates did not seem to be bad. If I had only followed the duke¡¯s orders without considering Ates, we wouldn¡¯t be talking like this. ¡°But how did you knights know that Ates was here?¡± When Dio joined in and spoke, Kalko¡¯s expression became frowning. An annoyed expression on his face, as if he was asking what the hell he was doing. However, Artes, who was next to him, hurriedly introduced Dio. ¡°He is a benefactor who helped me. Sir Calco. ¡°They are skilled mercenaries.¡± ¡°¡­Is that so?¡± Since he couldn¡¯t ignore Ates¡¯ words, Calco reluctantly looked at Dio. ¡°I am ¡®Calco Medell¨ªn,¡¯ a senior knight of the knights who serves Duke Bertio. ¡°Your help will be rewarded appropriately to the dukedom.¡± ¡°Haha, we took great care of you, Ates.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio¡¯s sly words brought back memories of Ates thinking of him as a passage check and almost being killed by Calliope, but he didn¡¯t bother to say anything. Thanks to this, Calco was still displeased, but he opened his mouth again towards Dio, whose identity was guaranteed by Ates. ¡°To answer your question, a merchant named Hans told me that you are here.¡± Dio was lost in thought for a moment when Kalko said that he came here because of Hans. I knew long ago that Hans would inform the dukedom. However, Calco arrived faster than Dio expected. Looking at this, it was assumed that Kalko and his men happened to be near Ox. ¡°He said that you were being held captive by warlocks¡­ and that he barely escaped.¡± Calco¡¯s eyes turned sharp as he looked at Dio. ¡°yes? no. What is a warlock¡­.¡± ¡°Knight!¡± Just as Ates was about to defend himself against Calco¡¯s suspicions, Dio shouted first. Dio smiled inwardly at the expression on Calco¡¯s face when he asked why he was calling him. ¡®That Hans guy. Because of Evelyn¡¯s shadow magic, they treated us all as black magic¡­ thank you.¡¯ Dio¡¯s small thought turns Hans¡¯ false report into an opportunity. Calliope said darkness was coming here. He assured that if he connected this and made up a story, he would be able to use the duke¡¯s knights. ¡°Hans, who was killed by the warlocks, is alive! We, along with Ates, barely managed to escape. And they¡­¡± It wasn¡¯t just Kalko who was surprised by Dio¡¯s statement that he was a colleague of Hans, the reporter. Ates and the others were looking like they were wondering what the hell this was all about. However, Dio ignored them and just continued talking to Calco. ¡°It¡¯s coming here.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 89 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 89Episode 89 ¡°What does that mean?¡± Calco, who was wary of Dio, could not hide his surprise when he heard that a warlock was approaching Ox. ¡°Why are the warlocks here?¡± The group called warlocks are not necessarily the only enemies of the church. They accumulated power through human sacrifice, always threatening the peace of the continent, and became the common enemy of all countries. So the mere fact that they appeared made the Bertio knights nervous. ¡°I don¡¯t know why the warlocks appeared. ¡°But I definitely heard they were heading here to Oaks.¡± Even Dio doesn¡¯t know if the magic energy Calliope feels is a warlock or a monster. But anyway, what is coming here is the certain truth, so Dio can say it with confidence. The only thing Dio lied about was that he was Hans¡¯ colleague. ¡°¡­young master. ¡°Is what he said true?¡± Calco asked Ates without losing his suspicion towards Dio. ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Artes looked at Dio¡¯s thoughts and nodded cautiously. Calco had the same doubts about Ates as he did Dio, but he could not bear to doubt the words of Bertio¡¯s second son. Calco knew that Ates respected him as a knight and that he was not the type to lie. Because I won¡¯t mindlessly tell a lie that could turn into a big problem. However, since it was related to a warlock, there was a need to clearly determine the truth of the incident. ¡°Wizard!¡± ¡°yes.¡± Kalko called the wizard who was listening to the story with him. ¡°Can you check?¡± ¡°If what the author says is true, you will know right away.¡± ¡°good. ¡°Check it out.¡± At Kalko¡¯s command, the wizard immediately spread his palm and touched the ground. Wow ¨C Dio noticed that the magic the wizard was using was ¡®Watching Grasp¡¯, a detection magic. ¡®It¡¯s over level 200.¡¯ Although not as good as clerics, ordinary wizards also have a means of detecting the energy of a warlock. One of them is a detection skill called ¡®Watching Grasp¡¯. It was the optimal skill for detecting the ¡®magic energy¡¯ possessed by warlocks and the devil¡¯s minions. ¡°How is it?¡± Kalko asked the wizard who was concentrating on detection. Dio was nervous inside. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust Calliope, but I haven¡¯t heard anything about when the upcoming threat will occur. Dio judged that the magician¡¯s skills were at the same level as Evelyn¡¯s. Since he was not as good as Calliope, Dio had to additionally persuade Calco if he could not detect it. Dio, who was thinking about this and that, immediately realized that there was no need to do that. ¡°Master Kakalko!¡± Unfortunately or fortunately, it seemed as if something had caught the detection spell, and the wizard urgently called Kalko. ¡°It¡¯s below!¡± ¡°what?¡± It was only for a short time that the earth cracked and shook. Kugugoogung! A huge pillar sticking out from under the ground. Surprisingly, the pillar was the body of a huge creature. The monster, with its tail and body connected, looked like a snake, but unlike a snake, it had no shape that could be called a face. The monster, which had nothing but a huge mouth, snatched one of the frozen Bertio soldiers. ¡°Ugh!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a monster!¡± ¡°Everyone prepare for battle!¡± Contaminated Giant Worm. Although it has a huge body, it has a special ability to freely move around the ground and is also an excellent monster for infiltration. That¡¯s why Dio and the others didn¡¯t notice even though it was right in front of them. Pop! Among the people in the hall, Dio was the first to act. He kicked the ground to save soldier Bertio, who was crying out for help in pain. bang! Dio¡¯s kick hit the giant worm¡¯s mouth hard. Taking advantage of the shock, Dio grabbed the soldier and rolled him to the floor. ¡°[Rune Bind]!¡± When Dio rescued the soldier, the wizard of the Magic Tower immediately chanted a spell. Harbul- Magic Roots that wraps the Zy Work Worm. As a result, its huge body was immediately restrained. As expected from a wizard of the Magic Tower, he seemed to have a wealth of practical experience. The wizard seemed to be quite a veteran as he responded immediately, even though he might have been taken aback by the sudden attack. ¡°Ha!¡± Magicians weren¡¯t the only ones with skill. Following the wizard¡¯s binding spell, Kalko¡¯s sword swung quickly. Creep ¨C coo! The giant worm¡¯s massive body fell to the floor due to Kalko¡¯s sword. ¡°Thank you. Move the wounded to the village!¡± ¡°yes!¡± Calco thanked Dio and took over the wounded soldier, giving immediate instructions. Although there was only one demon beast that appeared, the Vertio knights, including Calco, appeared to be preparing for additional attacks with their weapons drawn. ¡®Are they really Bertio¡¯s knights? ¡®Mercenaries can¡¯t even hand out business cards.¡¯ Calco¡¯s commanding ability to control the scene and the knights leading the soldiers without any panic were quite reliable. ¡®Anyway, I didn¡¯t expect it to attack so soon¡­¡¯ Dio looked indifferently at the green love juice flowing from the severed body of the giant worm, then turned his head to see the gaze staring at him. As expected, Kalko¡¯s expression is quite serious. He opened his mouth to say something to Dio, but the wizard shouted faster. ¡°Mr. Calco!¡± Even though he had easily subdued the Giant Worm, his tone was still filled with urgency. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°We have captured multiple enemies. ¡°It seems like this guy is just a scout.¡± ¡°What is the scale?¡± The wizard, whose face became pale, spoke with confidence. ¡°Well¡­there are at least a dozen or even a hundred!¡± * * * ¡°Did you check it too?¡± ¡°of course. ¡°They just didn¡¯t move, so the detection was delayed.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s question, Evelyn looked indignantly at the wizard who had identified the enemies. ¡°Well, there are areas that we are both good at.¡± Dio comforted her. As the magic tower wizard confirmed, there are demonic beasts waiting deep in the ground. It wasn¡¯t strange if they didn¡¯t attack Ox at any time. ¡®I used the giant worm strategically. Then, of course¡­¡¯ The Giant Worm¡¯s current behavior was not that of a magical beast that only wanted to kill. He was currently acting as a strategic scout for the Giant Worm. If not, there is no reason to rush out on your own. ¡®Are the people behind this the warlocks?¡¯ The most powerful force that can strategically use low-intelligence beasts like this is the warlock. Just because they move doesn¡¯t mean they appear with the Demon Lord. Above all, it is a self-evident fact that they are hostile forces that can be encountered anytime, anywhere. ¡°Did you say diamond?¡± Dio finished talking with the wizard and looked at Calco who was talking to him. ¡°What you said was true. Do you know what the enemy is aiming for?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± ¡°It is impossible to stop them all with our current forces. ¡°I hope your mercenary group will help us.¡± Although Dio, who was introduced as a mercenary, was looked down upon at first, the knight named Calco was surprisingly quick to judge the situation. He said that he would immediately send a messenger informing them of the situation after returning the soldier who had been hit by a giant worm. ¡°I don¡¯t know what they¡¯re thinking, but I don¡¯t think they¡¯ll attack us anytime soon. ¡°It is my judgment that we should establish a solid policy centered on Ox.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine. ¡°I and my companions will also help.¡± Dio recognized Calco¡¯s skill in cutting down the giant worm with a single sword. Although he was said to have received help from a wizard, it would have been of great help to have an ally skilled enough to cut down a level 250 monster with a single sword. Moreover, even though Dio did not ask for help first, the Bertio knights joined the team. ¡®Still, you can¡¯t rest assured.¡¯ Dio knew that Calliope trusted him, but he did not intend to take this battle easily. Yubi Muhwan. More is better. Prepare everything you can and gather as many troops as possible to help. ¡°But even if the Duke family hurries, will they be able to receive support?¡± The Bertio family would not allow the appearance of a warlock in their territory. They will definitely respond to Calco¡¯s request for support. But the problem was time. Right now, the demon beasts aren¡¯t moving for some reason, but they could attack at any time. However, even if the troops departed from the Duke¡¯s House and arrived at Ox as quickly as possible, it would take at least a day or two. ¡°ha ha ha!¡± In response to Dio¡¯s question, Calco chuckled and told him not to worry. He was so serious just a moment ago, but suddenly he started laughing, which made me think he was crazy. However, following Calco¡¯s words, Dio could understand why he was acting like this. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. ¡°Because we, Bertio, are not the only ones who came to visit Ox.¡± ¡°yes? Who else is there?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°They are away from us to briefly investigate where the light came from.¡± them? From Calco¡¯s words, Dio could clearly tell that there was another power nearby. However, considering that Calco refers to them as ¡®them¡¯ rather than ¡®us¡¯¡­ ¡®Are you saying that there are other troops here besides Bertio¡¯s soldiers?¡¯ Dio immediately asked Calco whether he had asked other guilds or mercenaries to find Artes. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Who are they?¡± ¡°Who is it? ¡°The Luna Church¡¯s paladins and priests.¡± ¡°!!¡± Dio¡¯s eyes opened wide at Calco¡¯s words. Why them? Or rather, they went to investigate the lake? ¡°Stupid warlocks have bad luck. ¡°How dare you set foot in the East without knowing that there are Holy Knights of the Luna Church?¡± Calco, who was unaware of Dio¡¯s complicated feelings, began to laugh at the nearby warlock. In fact, the Holy Power of the Luna Church is perfect for suppressing warlocks and demonic beasts. It is understandable that Calco is so confident despite confirming the existence of a large number of demonic beasts. ¡®Luna¡­ Normally, avoiding it would be the right choice.¡¯ In a situation where you don¡¯t know how many enemies there will be, now is the time to lend a hand to a cat. Dio thought carefully about Calco¡¯s words. After listening to the story further, it seemed like the Heretic Questioner was not included. ¡®Priests and priests would not be able to penetrate Crassus¡¯ magic.¡¯ Even though Dio and Sephia are wanted by the Luna Church. However, the highest level of camouflage magic cast on them is the work of Crassus. This means that unless the opponent is of the Heresy Questioner level, there is almost no way they will be caught. Even if it is the Holy Luna Church¡¯s direct Holy Paladins and Priests. ¡®Caliope probably already knows of their existence. Did you really warn me, including that?¡¯ There was no way that Calliope would not have noticed the priests of the Luna Church approaching the lake. Even if they searched the lake, they wouldn¡¯t find Calliope if she decided to hide. For now, rather than worrying about Calliope, I have to think about the Luna Church, which will soon join the Ox. ¡®good. Rather, it worked out well. ¡®Let¡¯s use them now.¡¯ There would be no problem as long as you were more careful of Evelyn, a witch, and Robert, a vampire, rather than yourself, who was wanted. ¡°First, let¡¯s go inside the Ox and evacuate the people. My soldiers will call them soon, so don¡¯t worry if the demon beasts come out right now.¡± With those last words, Kalko led the knights and soldiers and entered the Ox. Dio also shared the stories he shared with Calco with the group and asked Evelyn and Roberto to pay special attention. In front of the Luna Church, you should refrain from using your strength as much as possible. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 90 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 90Episode 90 In the middle of a dense forest, a group of people dressed in black robes stood in an orderly posture. Their identities are black magicians. Unlike the knights, they did not have such strict rules, but things were quite different now. The reason was that the group was led by the being with the most influence in the world of warlocks. Luave dell¡¯Achiel. A warlock who has reached the level of the 8th circle. He, who was also Victor¡¯s teacher, sat in front of a dying bonfire, lost in thought, unlike the standing warlocks. It is rare for Luave to take direct action. But the reason he moved was none other than sepia. A top-class offering that Victor put a lot of effort into. At first, Luave felt it would be a waste to miss her like this, so she released her henchmen and ordered them to search for Sepia. But the more Sepia was tracked, the more suspicious Luave became. How on earth could a mere mercenary capture Viktor and hide the traces of the sacrifice? Luave¡¯s pride was hurt just by the fact that someone could avoid him on the continent. Even the Luna Church has yet to find any traces of it. ¡®I¡¯ll have to see it with my own eyes to calm my anger.¡¯ Victor went out of his way to prevent those he was looking for from being taken away by the Luna Church. They scoured the northwest and pursued it so fiercely that some were erased from the map. On the way, they suffered greater losses than expected while confronting the cult they were pursuing. I wonder if I should endure this loss because of my pride, but what can I do when it is the pride of Ruave Delaciel and no one else? And now I have discovered those footsteps. The eastern part was in an uproar due to Bertio¡¯s second son running away from home. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luave heard information that a person who appeared to be the second son was passing through the city accompanied by suspicious mercenaries, and he had a hunch. He said that a bitch named Sephia, who had been giving him trouble for a long time, was now in the East. ¡°Luave is ready.¡± A warlock reported to Luave, who was lost in thought. ¡°When do you think would be a good time?¡± ¡°It seems like a good idea to start right away. We also saw the Luna Church nearby, but their scale is nothing compared to ours.¡± Luave did not take his current target lightly. In particular, the unidentified mercenary who killed Viktor. Luave was especially wary of this guy. Immediately after confirming that the target was staying in the village, Luave worked to summon the demon beast through his subordinates. The reason he didn¡¯t go straight away wasn¡¯t just because he was wary of mercenaries. This is because the presence of nearby Bertio soldiers and the Luna Church must also be kept in mind. ¡®With my skills, I have no problem dealing with them all. But I¡¯m worried about the suspicious mercenary.¡¯ So, I made sure to summon the demon beast through my subordinates. Luave was not stupid enough to fight a fight that would put him on the defensive for no reason. ¡°good.¡± Luave slowly stood up and opened his mouth to the warlocks who were waiting for his orders with their backs turned. ¡°Kill them all. However, the sacrifice must be secured alive.¡± ¡°yes!¡± Luave¡¯s name has fallen. * * * -What does that mean? Are you saying that demonic beasts will invade this place? -It¡¯s dangerous, so don¡¯t come outside. Bertio has a duty to protect you. -What are we going to do with the livestock in our house? Good luck! -oh my! In the large open space located in the center of Oaks, a conversation was taking place between the knights of the Bertio family and the village people. The villagers were very frightened when the knight said that demonic beasts would soon attack. Considering Ox, it is best to avoid urban battles as much as possible. Moreover, we are currently unable to properly understand what the approaching hostile forces are aiming for and attacking. ¡®Something caught my eye. There¡¯s a high probability that they¡¯re targeting me and Sepia.¡¯ Dio recalled the memory of killing Viktor and figured out the warlocks¡¯ intentions. Even if they confirm this fact and run away with Sephia, there is no reason for the warlocks to just pass by Ox. They would probably kill and torture everyone in Oaks just to search, so it was most desirable to fortify them in Oaks. ¡®What we need to do in a situation where it is clear that the warlocks are responsible¡­¡¯ As always, Dio began to weigh the power analysis against the opponent. There were more than a hundred magical beasts detected by the wizard of the Magic Tower. In that case, even if we assume the minimum number of warlocks, it is calculated that there are more than ten people per day. ¡®Our power is far from sufficient. Kalko said the Luna Church was coming, so I told him not to worry.¡¯ Since he just estimated the size of the enemies, Dio had to be sure to prepare. If the numbers cannot be stopped even by the Luna Church¡¯s forces¡­ ¡°Mr. Calco.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust the knights and the Luna Church, but the size of the enemies is unusual, so do you think there¡¯s no need to request support separately?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± When Dio called Calco and informed him of the emergency preparations, Calco was lost in thought. ¡°I see. Above all, Ates is here¡­¡± Calco gestured to a soldier and told Dio not to worry. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. The Duke family probably already knows the situation here. ¡°But just in case, I might send a messenger from here.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Hearing Calco¡¯s words, Dio was relieved that he had created another insurance policy. Well, as Calco said, there is no way Bertio could stay still after hearing the news about the warlock. The main force would be dispatched soon, and if this battle became dangerous, all we had to do was wait as long as possible until support arrived. Calco soon sent a soldier out of the village and approached Ates, who was setting up a temporary stockade with other soldiers. ¡°young master. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Calco did not bother to send Ates back to his family. This is because he decided that it would be safest to protect him by his side. Of course, it didn¡¯t seem like he had any intention of sending Artes into battle. ¡°I can fight too.¡± ¡°If there are even scars on your body, I have no shame in seeing you, Duke.¡± Calco flatly refused the request of Ates, who was well-versed in Vertio swordsmanship. Although Ates may be the top ranker, the person currently in charge of the battlefield is Calco. It was natural for Calco to give priority to protecting Ates. In response, Ates sent Dio a look of help, but Dio just shrugged his shoulders and did not particularly refute Calco¡¯s words. ¡®It¡¯s better for me if Artes is safe.¡¯ Ates was not at all weak to the point of being a burden, but if something happened to Ates¡¯s life for no reason, the Duke of Bertio could have been held responsible. In addition, Dio and his companions were mercenaries and were under the command of Calco. Even though Dio was superior to Calco in all areas of military power and leadership, in the end, a conductor had to have a reputation. ¡®If you go out for no reason and get caught by ugly hair, you get tired¡­¡¯ Dio approached Calco again, who forced Ates to the center of the village. ¡°What else? ¡°If you¡¯re telling me to send you off to the battlefield¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I¡¯m talking about.¡± Dio shook his head at Calco, who had a solemn expression, and pointed with his finger at the fence that Ates had been touching just a moment ago. ¡°It¡¯s not a bad idea to build an outer wall around the village, but considering the giant worm from before, we also need to prepare for what¡¯s below.¡± ¡°hmm?¡± Dio had a reason why he should never back down from this battle. The safety of the villagers in Oaks was also safe, but it was difficult for Calliope and Sepia to escape for their own reasons. Even if you run away without fighting, if this place is taken over by warlocks, the future will become even more difficult. So, in this final battle with the warlock, he had no intention of avoiding or losing, so he had to give everything he could. Even the smallest details of the village stockade. ¡°It is best to form a defense near a rock that it cannot easily penetrate. ¡°Especially because this is a granite mountainous region, the raised stones will be better than most wooden fences.¡± ¡°Ohh.¡± It is not just magic and high-performance traps that hinder the invasion of magical beasts. They are like wild animals with a low intellectual level, so even if you install simple obstacles, their movements are greatly restricted. ¡°It would be best to build the floor and exterior walls with stones¡­ but since we don¡¯t have time, just piling them up will be helpful in battle.¡± ¡°Is this really the experience of a skilled mercenary? Well, you guys are probably familiar with ¡®waves¡¯¡­¡± As Kalko said, there was no difference between the current situation and the monster wave in Evra Village. It¡¯s just a little more difficult. Kalko immediately ordered the knights and soldiers to move the large rocks. Calco, a proud knight of Bertio, would have ignored the opinion of a mere mercenary, but surprisingly, he actively accepted Dio¡¯s opinion. Is it because Dio was shown saving Bertio¡¯s soldier earlier? Compared to first impressions, Calco seemed to trust Dio a lot. If not, I wouldn¡¯t accept the opinion like I just did or even listen to it in the first place. Dio¡¯s companions and Bertio¡¯s knights were busy again. After strengthening Ox¡¯s defenses, Kalko deployed his troops. ¡°But how did the Luna Church come to such a remote place? Could it be that they also set out to find Prince Ates?¡± After the deployment of the soldiers and the evacuation of the villagers were roughly completed, Dio approached Calco and asked. ¡°Oh, they joined us from a nearby city. ¡°He didn¡¯t ask for anything in particular, but when we told him that we were going to search the area for him, he said he would follow us.¡± ¡°is it so?¡± ¡°Then, during the night, we saw a halo of light and dispersed.¡± According to Calco, they didn¡¯t seem to be specifically looking for Dio or Sephia. Although the Luna Church exerted influence throughout the continent, its power was slightly different in each region. Even in the eastern region, Duke Bertio had the highest status, followed by the Luna Church. ¡®And as far as I know, the dukedom didn¡¯t really welcome the Luna Church.¡¯ The churches built in the eastern region were smaller than those in other regions. So, the priests of the Luna Church who were dispatched to the East or affiliated with the East were not that strong or capable. Well, it doesn¡¯t mean that the troops of the Luna Church that are coming to Ox for support are weak. First of all, he is a paladin. ¡®I¡¯ll have to be careful not to look down on him and have his true identity revealed.¡¯ Dio once again became more alert to the church and looked at Evelyn who was doing something in the distance. As I watched Evelyn talking excitedly to the magic tower wizard who was working on something, I felt uneasy. ¡®Isn¡¯t that girl talking excitedly and causing trouble again?¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 91 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 91Episode 91 ¡°That¡¯s not how you do it!¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°Get out of the way. ¡°I¡¯ll show you.¡± Evelyn was tasked with setting up a barrier with the wizard of the Magic Tower. Effective magic to prepare for the coming demons, such as bondage detection traps. The wizard of the Magic Tower was a skilled person who could use various types of magic, and Evelyn joined in, not to be outdone. ¡°So what do you think? ¡°If you use the shadows of objects, you can complete the magic circle without having to waste mana!¡± ¡°Hoo. Is it a shadow type magic? ¡°It¡¯s a very rare series¡­it¡¯s amazing.¡± ¡°uh? ¡°Why aren¡¯t you learning?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ Shadow is recognized as a discipline that warlocks and witches are exposed to. Of course, not young wizards like us, but those old-timers. haha.¡± Evelyn looks shocked at the wizard¡¯s words. ¡°Ahaha- That¡¯s right. However, I am not a warlock or a witch. Especially not witches.¡± ¡°Who says what? ¡°If you¡¯re a witch, there¡¯s no way you can help people with us.¡± ¡°cancer. ¡°Okay then!¡± Dio was looking pitifully at the back of Evelyn, who was sweating at the wizard¡¯s words. Well, using shadow magic isn¡¯t really a problem. However, using the power of the sun in front of the Luna Church may cause problems. The power of the sun is a sacred power that is not well known on the continent. Even if they are not saints or heretic inquisitors, ordinary priests or paladins are puzzled by the divine power they see for the first time. It would definitely get annoying, so it was better to be careful from the beginning. ¡®I guess he¡¯s not that stupid.¡¯ Dio took his eyes off Evelyn and looked around the village. Kalko had a hard time controlling the people of Ox Village at first. He is Bertio¡¯s senior knight, but he is at that level. In the first place, the people of Ox believed in a guardian spirit called Topaz, so they seemed reluctant to follow Kalko¡¯s words. This is despite the fact that Calco is a knight belonging to the Duke of Bertio, the most powerful family in the eastern region. But fortunately, this was resolved by Ates and Roberto. Ates, who got along well with the village people, and Roberto, who had charmed all the women in Oaks, consoled them well, and only then did the people feel at ease. ¡®Seeing Roberto like this doesn¡¯t really envy him.¡¯ This is Roberto, who was taught under the monk Schuwald. It was truly a sight to see him trying to shake off the attention of so many women. It was truly amazing to see Roberto having to resist the vivid temptation of blood. At least among the vampires Dio had experienced, he had never seen one with such high patience. Anyway, with the villagers gathered in the center of the village, which was least at risk, Ox was quite quiet. Quiet town. It was so strangely quiet that if someone who was unfamiliar with the situation here saw it, they might have thought it was a town haunted by ghosts. ¡°Mr. Calco!¡± Bertio¡¯s soldier, who discovered something on the makeshift stockade, called Calco. ¡°Someone is coming!¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I can see it too.¡± Upon hearing the soldier¡¯s report, Kalko also climbed up on the fence and watched the approaching group closely. Clap-clap-clap-clap ¨C the sound of horses¡¯ hooves being heard overlapping each other. There was no way the demonic beasts would attack on horseback, so Dio could easily figure out the identity of this group. * * * ¡°Ha-what happened to me?¡± A diocese located in the eastern part of the continent. Conrad Yokni, the leader of the Holy Knights there, sighed softly as he looked at Ox in the distance. ¡®For some reason, something like this happened during my time¡­ I¡¯m out of luck.¡¯ The eastern part of the country was an area where the Empire¡¯s Duke Bertio family ruled like kings. The problem is that the Bertio family is hostile to the Luna Church, although not openly. Therefore, the size of the Luna Church diocese created in the eastern region was very small, and therefore the church¡¯s activities were less than in other regions. Within the Luna Church, it was said that the paladins and priests who were transferred to the eastern region were virtually considered demotions. ¡®I¡¯m not being demoted!¡¯ But Conrad¡¯s case was different. He proved his skills in the Luna Church based on his outstanding military power and was quickly promoted based on that. And that too as the leader of a knight in a region. However, due to the sudden retirement of the knight commander in charge of the eastern region, Conrad had to fill the vacant position. ¡®Honestly, this place isn¡¯t bad either.¡¯ At first, Conrad did not take the order to manage the East badly. Regardless of what others thought, he was not relegated, and Conrad secretly liked the eastern diocese. This is because Conrad had a very weak personality, unlike a knight commander. Therefore, even if something big happened, the Bertio family would take care of it before the Luna Church, so there was nothing much to do. So, I was enjoying a peaceful life, preparing to advance to the center one day¡­ ¡°Lord Conrad. What do you plan to do?¡± Conrad looked at Telzia, the inspector newly appointed to the Eastern Diocese. okay. It¡¯s because of him. After Telzia came, his rest was broken. But I can¡¯t complain. If I were to be disliked by the inspector, I could have been expelled from my sweet position as leader of the Eastern Knights. ¡°Let¡¯s not hurry¡­because we need to know the situation in the village first.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Telzia gestured to the soldiers following her as if she knew how to say that. Some disturbing news coming from the western region recently. Accordingly, the Luna Church took special measures. A Level 1 wanted list was placed on a specific person, and all believers in Luna were given the task of finding them as a top priority. Therefore, it was the worst news for Conrad, who had been enjoying a break in the East. What¡¯s more, warlocks suddenly appeared in the north¡­ As the leader of the Paladins, he had to check most of the reports from the east, and there was a mountain of work to do. In addition, perhaps the church was aware of his personality, and an inspector was dispatched to the eastern diocese. Priest Telzia. The inspector Telzia, who was officially dispatched by the church, and the priests and clergy who were dispatched did not match Conrad¡¯s personality very well. The inspector general belongs to Atra, the provincial government. Therefore, not only were they highly disciplined, but they were also deeply religious, to the point of sacrificing their lives for their faith. The reason I came here now was all because of Telzia. The Duke of Bertio¡¯s soldiers say they are looking for the second son who ran away from home, so why are they following him? Conrad couldn¡¯t understand it, but Telzia urged him to search the eastern part of the country since the church had given them a special mission. And there was also a story about suspicious mercenaries accompanying Bertio¡¯s second son. ¡®Ugh¡­it¡¯s really hard work trying to do something you didn¡¯t want to do.¡¯ Conrad, who preferred to rest rather than dedicate his daily work to his religion, had to act solemn, even if only because of Telzia¡¯s notice. That¡¯s what the knight commander usually does. ¡°ha.¡± ¡°Is something bad happening? Sir Conrad?¡± ¡°Oh no, let¡¯s go.¡± Feeling so uncomfortable that he couldn¡¯t even sigh easily, Conrad drove his horse and headed towards a rural village in the distance. I hope nothing happens. * * * Dio looked at the Holy Knights entering Ox, led by Bertio¡¯s soldiers. A richly decorated silver-blue cloak. Dio looked at him curiously as he saw the leader of the Holy Knights riding a horse at the forefront. ¡®He looks like a leader, but this is my first time seeing him.¡¯ Did he look like he was around 30? Since the Knights Templar High School is young, it is expected that they will be quite capable. He glanced around the village, frowned, and got off his horse. ¡°Lord Calco.¡± Conrad shook hands with Calco and said goodbye. ¡°Lord Conrad. ¡°Has the work of light been completed successfully?¡± ¡°There was no particular problem. I found a lake¡­but I think I need to do a little more research. However, even though it is a rural village, there are no residents in sight. Where is Confucius?¡± From their conversation, Dio was able to learn that the name of the newly appeared Knight Commander of the Luna Church was Conrad. Another characteristic of Conrad. In the eastern region, even the Luna Church cannot stretch out like this in front of the Bertio family. If you are a Paladin in the eastern jurisdiction, you cannot help but keep an eye on them in order to avoid political friction. In terms of title alone, Konrad, who is at the leader level, would be superior, but when considering political power, Kalko, who is a senior knight, cannot be treated carelessly. ¡®Unless he was a fairly faithful and confident paladin, he would not interfere with the affairs of the Bertio family like this¡­¡¯ Of course, Dio was just mistaken as he had no way of knowing that Conrad was forcibly brought in because of the inspector. Anyway, their conversation continued even while Dio was evaluating the person named Conrad. ¡°Young Master, we have evacuated you for a while.¡± ¡°evacuation? ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°That¡­¡± Just as Kalko was about to start talking about warlocks and magical beasts, the woman who was assisting Konrad raised her hand and interrupted. ¡°Telzia? ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Conrad. for a moment.¡± A woman called Telzia whispered something into Conrad¡¯s ear, and Dio felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort at the sight. ¡®what? That woman¡­¡¯ Dio noticed that Telzia¡¯s eyes were on him as she said something to Konrad. A priest¡¯s attire that is nothing special. However, Telzia casually interrupted the knight commander¡¯s words, and for some reason, it felt like Conrad was treating her very cautiously.

It doesn¡¯t look particularly great¡­¡¯ It is impossible to see through Crassus¡¯ magic unless you are an archbishop-level priest. Or that he possesses a top-tier artifact¡­ There¡¯s no way he would give such a valuable item to a mere priest in the eastern region of Ei. Conrad , who heard something from Telzia, left everyone behind and came in front of Dio. ¡°you.¡± ¡°hello? ¡°This is Dia, working as a mercenary.¡± I don¡¯t know what Konrad and Telzia talked about, but Dio approached them with a smile on his face as best he could. ¡°Are you the mercenary who accompanied Master Bertio?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio had a hunch. That the Luna Church was aware of his actions. Not good. The stories we need to share now are ways to deal with the soon-to-be-attacked warlocks. The subject of the story should not shift to the Luna Church¡¯s most wanted person. ¡°Captain. ¡°I am currently protecting the village at Lord Calco¡¯s request.¡± ¡°Protecting it? From what?¡± Dio struck first before Conrad could continue speaking. ¡°There are a group of warlocks around here. ¡°They have summoned demonic beasts and are ready to attack at any time.¡± ¡°what?¡± ¡°The numbers are significant. If you check it, you will know right away.¡± No matter how much you care about wanted people, there is no way you can turn a blind eye to the demonic beasts in front of you. The Paladins who were listening to Dio¡¯s story began to wonder if Dio¡¯s thoughts were correct. ¡°Warlock? Demon beast? ¡°Is that true?¡± ¡°exactly. We also confirmed¡­¡± In response to Konrad¡¯s question, Ox¡¯s manager, Kalko, opened his mouth again, but the harsh voice that cut him off echoed throughout the hall. ¡°Dirty heretics! ¡°What kind of fucking trick is this?¡± ¡°¡­?¡± At Telzia¡¯s sudden shout, Dio looked at her. ¡°You think I don¡¯t know your identity? Show yourself. ¡°Do you think you dare hide yourself from the sight of Holy Luna?¡± Telzia stepped forward and pointed a finger at Dio. Dio was able to see through that gap. The bracelet on Telzia¡¯s wrist. ¡®Watcher¡¯s Bracelet¡­damn.¡¯ Dio cursed under his breath at the presence of a legendary artifact. The Watcher¡¯s Bracelet is the Luna Church¡¯s highest-level artifact that can detect camouflage magic. Even though we couldn¡¯t see Dio¡¯s original appearance, which had been hidden by Crassus¡¯ magic, we were able to at least recognize that he was disguised. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± ¡°what? ¡°Why are you so loud?¡± The wizard and Evelyn Roberto, who heard Telzia¡¯s commotion from afar, approached Dio. Along with Ates, who did not listen to Calco¡¯s orders to stay hidden. Among them, the wizard approached Dio to find out what was going on, as the paladin¡¯s energy was unusual. Then he urgently raised his hand. ¡°Oh no! Avoid everyone¡­!¡± Currently, the barrier at the entrance is open to welcome the Luna Church troops entering Oaks. And the demon beasts did not miss this opportunity. Before people could react , a contaminated giant worm broke through the ground and appeared once again. However, unlike the first time, there was not just one. Quagwagwagwagwa- A dozen giant worms appeared simultaneously, and one even popped out near Dio and Telzia. Quang! Dio swung the mace he had prepared for battle and hit the giant worm that appeared right in front of him. thud! The massive new form of the worm fell to the ground, and in an instant, everyone noticed the extremely dark atmosphere outside the village of Ox, which was in chaos. A time when the sun is slowly setting. A dark group visible beyond the setting sunset. -Kyaaa! -Krrrrr! It was an army of hundreds of demonic beasts rushing towards Ox. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 92 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 92Episode 92 : In general, most of the beings that are enemies of the player are called ¡®monsters¡¯. However, although they can be called monsters, there is a reason why they are called ¡®demon beasts¡¯. The special characteristic of demon beasts is that they are completely under the control of the demon king. They are beings that have been mutated or newly born due to the demonic energy, depending on the signs of the Demon King¡¯s resurrection. The reason black magicians can control them is because the source of their power is the same type of power used by the devil. Corrupt green troll. Cursed Stone Golem. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hellhound Hellhound. Dominated steel skeleton. These are people who use the terms magical beast and monster interchangeably, such as the contaminated giant worm. Demonic beasts whose strength was incomparable to that of the monster wave were approaching Ox. Ding ding ding! A bell warning of a magical beast invasion rang through Ox. The giant worm that invaded the village was subdued, but these are not important. Worms also play a role in breaking up formations. The main force of the demonic beast was attacking from outside the village. At this, Bertio¡¯s soldiers each shouted and raised their weapons. ¡°They are coming!¡± ¡°Defend your position!¡± visor! At Calco¡¯s command, the knights also drew their swords, and Dio also tried to join them. ¡°You bastard! ¡°Where are you acting?¡± ¡°what?¡± Dio looked at Telzia with a bewildered expression as she cried out as she grabbed his feet. ¡°Do you think you don¡¯t know that you¡¯ve summoned demonic beasts? What are they doing? ¡°Catch that bastard right now!¡± Dio looked into Telzia¡¯s bloodshot, bright red eyes. ¡®Are you another person? ¡®You¡¯re out of your mind.¡¯ Even though he saw the demon beast being destroyed right in front of his eyes, Telzia was accusing Dio of being a heretic. Cheaeng! However, at Telzia¡¯s words, dozens of Paladins aimed their swords at Dio. Rather, it was clear that the knight commander, Conrad, was embarrassed. ¡°Hey. What are you doing now? ¡°Can¡¯t you see them?¡± Dio pointed to the demonic beasts that were coming in like dark clouds from afar due to Telzia¡¯s ridiculous behavior. ¡°If I kill you, they will go away on their own.¡± Telzia¡¯s unreasonable confidence as if this had nothing to do with it. Isn¡¯t it the church¡¯s job to stop the witchcraft in order to protect the innocent villagers, whether rationally or emotionally? ¡®He is a fanatic himself.¡¯ Dio could see that there was madness in her eyes. The Bertio Knights were equally embarrassed by the Luna Church¡¯s actions, but unlike the Church, they faced the current situation head on. ¡°Keep your eyes on the floor! ¡°Don¡¯t let them come in!¡± Calco left Dio and the Luna Church alone and focused only on the demon beasts to protect the village. However, despite Calco¡¯s actions, the Holy Knights of the Luna Church still did not move. Their goal was not the demon beast, but only Dio. ¡°Hey, Inspector Telzia. ¡°I think it would be better to stop the demonic beasts first.¡± Conrad, who was still in his right mind, persuaded Telzia. However, Telzia did not seem to have any intention of listening even to the words of the knight commander. ¡°Come to your senses. Manager Conrad! We must follow the saint¡¯s instructions as a top priority! ¡°It is clear that they are the most wanted people in our school.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there any clear evidence that they are wanted criminals?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious why you hid your identity? Are you sure that Director Conrad doesn¡¯t believe in the saint¡¯s relics?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± Was pretending to be solemn and conversing an act? When Telzia held up the bracelet and spoke threateningly, Conrad was embarrassed and showed his true personality. Dio took advantage of the time Conrad gave him to quickly open his mouth to his companions who were waiting for him to speak. ¡°You guys stop the demon beast with Calco.¡± ¡°What are you planning to do, Dio?¡± ¡°These people are obsessed with me. And you also get tired if you get involved with these people for no reason.¡± ¡°¡­All right.¡± There was a very high possibility that the Luna Church, which was hostile to Dio, would discover the identity of the witches and vampires. For now, they have to somehow solve it on their own. Dio glanced at Telzia who was admonishing Konrad, then looked back at the demon beasts outside. * * * That short time that Conrad bought time. Dio had enough time to think about how to overcome this situation. Dio first identified the types of approaching demonic beasts. Although it is stronger than the monsters that attacked Evra Village, the situation was much better then. Compared to Dio, who was transformed into a great warrior with Solari¡¯s blessing, they are not that strong. In particular, in the case of dominated skeletons that make up the majority of the magical beast¡¯s forces, they can be wiped out in one blow with forgotten sword skills. ¡®Trolls with long arms use spears, golems with high defense use blunt weapons, and hunting dogs use swords.¡¯ He is well-versed in the strategy of destroying each with the various weapons he possesses. In addition, the power to defend Ox is so strong that it is no match for the magical beast. The Knights of Bertio are said to be the best knights in the East. In addition, Luna¡¯s paladins and priests are said to be the natural enemies of demonic beasts. However, the biggest problem was the Luna Church¡¯s forces trying to catch Dio rather than stopping the demonic beast. ¡®Even if they don¡¯t participate in the battle, just me and the Bertio Knights can stop them.¡¯ Dio, who had assessed the level of the demonic beasts that appeared, was confident. Although the number was much higher than expected, the strength of each individual was far behind expectations. However, the problem is that the Luna Church cannot just sit still. Currently, from Dio¡¯s perspective, the forces of the Luna Church are on the side of the demonic beast. ¡®Are you going to ignore the demon beasts and catch me?¡¯ One option would be for Dio to run away, but this would not be a wise idea considering Calliope and Sepia. Even if Calliope puts aside Ox¡¯s request to protect her, she cannot separate from Sepia, who is bound by the oath of liberation. ¡®Then there is only one way.¡¯ Dio grinned and immediately turned around and started running. ¡°Ethan is running away! Catch it!¡± ¡°Chief Conrad! If you hesitate any longer, I will report this to the saint myself!¡± In response to Telzia¡¯s hysterical cry, Conrad pulled out his sword in resignation. Then, the Paladins who were waiting for this all began chasing Dio. ¡®Have you ever tried to break through the demons I sent?¡¯ If the Holy Knights were to take Telzia¡¯s words literally, from their perspective, Dio and the Demon Beast were on the same side. So Dio jumped into the crowd of demonic beasts that were right in front of Ox. ¡°Huh? hey!¡± ¡°Move!¡± Bertio, who was protecting the village, tried to stop Dio, but was pushed away by the paladins chasing him. Crack-dock- Dio activated a skill toward a group of skeletons that were making noises by clashing their bones. Quang! Rumbling ¨C The [Island] used by Dio caused a dazzling flash of light and flames to sweep through the demon beast army. Since the Luna Church had confirmed that he was a heretic, Dio had no need to hide the power of the sun and went on a rampage. The paladins who were chasing the demon beasts were also faltered by the power, but immediately came to their senses and chased after him along the open path thanks to Dio. However, even though Dio destroyed dozens of skeletons, he was soon surrounded by an army of demonic beasts attacking him again. ¡°Keuuuuu!¡± The troll, who looked like a zombie with all his skin rotting away, swung a huge wooden pole at the paladins. bang! However, the paladins were not weak enough to be defeated by trolls. They swung their swords at the demonic beasts that stood in their way and struck them down. ¡°Kuuuuu!¡± ¡°Catch that guy!¡± ¡°Make a way!¡± Despite the attacks from the demonic beasts, the Holy Knights still targeted Dio, and they tried to somehow reach Dio by cutting down the demonic beasts. However, the number of demonic beasts was so large that Dio was quickly lost. Although the demonic beasts did not pose a threat to the Paladins, unlike Dio, the Paladins who formed a group could not gain speed. ¡°Work hard.¡± As if playing tag in a crowded crowd, Dio moved around the group of demon beasts. It¡¯s not just about running away. Since the magical beasts were also valuable experience points, Dio did his best to attack and attract the magical beasts¡¯ attention. Kwagwagwagwagwang! The demonic army was destroyed by Dio¡¯s [Island]. [Acquired 139502 experience points¡­] [Acquired 139502 experience points¡­] [Acquired 175237 experience points¡­] ¡­ Dio, satisfied with the salty experience points, discovered a group of demonic beasts trying to enter the village over the collapsed barrier. . -Kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! -Kung! Wow! ¡°Don¡¯t let them in!¡± ¡°There are too many numbers!¡± ¡°If we don¡¯t stop the invasion, the villagers will be in danger! Be sure to stop it!¡± ¡°Some guys are coming over! Find and protect the master!¡± Hellhound Hellhound. Dio, seeing the Bertio knights and soldiers blocking dozens of them, immediately identified the location of the paladins. ¡®It¡¯s a waste to have them deal with the demonic beasts. good.¡¯ Dio got off the ground and ran towards the Paladins who were chasing him. ¡°It¡¯s a bastard!¡± ¡°catch!¡± The Paladins also seemed to have spotted Dio approaching, so they hurriedly cleared out the surrounding demonic beasts and rushed towards Dio. Green onions! Just before he collided with the Paladins, Dio turned and rushed towards the group of Hellhounds. Tadak ¨C Blame it! Dio jumped high, stepping on a giant worm that was wandering after crashing into a pile of stones piled up to defend the village. It passed by among the knights and soldiers guarding the village. ¡°What?¡± Bertio¡¯s soldiers were busy blocking the Hell Hound. They collided with the Holy Knight soldiers of the Luna Church who were pursuing Dio¡¯s path. ¡°Hey, open the road!¡± ¡°Look behind you! ¡°It¡¯s a field of demonic beasts, you fanatics!¡± When the forces of Bertio and the Luna Church became entangled in an instant, there was no confusion between them. No matter how much the Holy Knights of the Luna Church turned their eyes to Dio, they still did not swing their swords at Bertio¡¯s soldiers. Even in exciting situations. This is because they know who the king of the East is, and they also know that if they attack Bertio here, political problems will escalate. ¡°Damn it, get rid of these demon beasts first!¡± ¡°Support this side!¡± ¡°[Holy Light]!¡± As a result, a picture was drawn of the soldiers of the two entangled camps working together to stop the demonic beasts. -Kung! Wow! -Kkeggang! The swords of the Paladins and the magic of the priests who generously supported them continued. ¡°yes. ¡°That means joining forces.¡± Strengthen your strength by luring the Paladins to areas where defense is lacking. Thanks to this, Bertio¡¯s soldiers were able to take a breather and the village¡¯s defense became much stronger. ¡°Eveline! Roberto!¡± Dio, who had forced the Paladins to defend, called Eveline and Roberto, who were busy moving around. ¡°[Intangling Shadow]!¡± ¡°Ha!¡± Evelyn¡¯s spell and Roberto¡¯s cheers can be heard in sync with Dio¡¯s footsteps. Evelyn¡¯s shadow binding spreads instantly in places where demonic beasts are concentrated. And then Roberto¡¯s fist, filled with the power of the sun, hit the floor. Quagwang! ¡°I¡¯ll contribute too!¡± Ates, who followed Evelyn and Roberto, ignoring Calco¡¯s words, also joined in, cutting off the hell hound¡¯s head. ¡°good. ¡°We¡¯ll kill everyone like this!¡± Dio immediately joined his companions and began beating down the demon beasts. He didn¡¯t forget to quickly change positions if the Luna Church priests tried to chase Dio again. A few hours to do that. [139502 Experience gained¡­] [Level has increased.] ¡­ Numerous experience points windows and level notification sound ringing several times. As the number of demonic beasts quickly decreased due to the activities of Dio and his companions, the few remaining demonic beasts began to slowly retreat. ¡°They¡¯re running away!¡± ¡°I won!¡± In response, Bertio¡¯s soldiers shouted in victory, and although it was not their intention, the paladins who defeated the demon beasts together with them also stopped chasing Dio. Is it because I watched Dio hunt down demonic beasts right before my eyes? Or did a camaraderie develop as they defeated the demonic beasts together? Anyway, while the Holy Knights of the Luna Church, who were infinitely hostile, hesitated for a moment, Sir Conrad spoke once again. ¡°Everyone stop! Put down your weapons! ¡°The process of trying to determine the truth will be resolved through dialogue.¡± ¡°Lord Conrad! ¡°What do you mean!¡± Telzia¡¯s shout, unable to hide her anger at Conrad¡¯s words. However, Dio paid no heed to their bickering and raised his fist and shouted at everyone. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t relax! ¡°It¡¯s not over yet!¡± The magic beasts were really nothing special. These were merely consumables for exploratory warfare. Dio knew that the truly dangerous things still remained. Everyone¡¯s help was needed right now. ¡°A bigger enemy remains. That too¡­ a very strong one.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 93 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 93Episode 93 ¡°Poisonous Bastards.¡± An underground space where light is created through magic. Calliope muttered as she climbed on top of the contaminated corpse of the Giant Worm. A foul odor was emanating from the decomposed body of the giant worm, and an unpleasant atmosphere filled the closed space. ¡°Has it begun?¡± Calliope had created an underground passage connecting Topaz Lake and Ox. It was intended to make contact with Dio as concise as possible in case of an emergency, but it was by no means something Calliope made in a haphazard manner. ¡®It was made quite deep, but seeing as it has appeared all the way here¡­¡¯ Calliope was lost in thought as she looked down at the giant worm¡¯s corpse. If Ox was the goal, there was no way the demonic beasts would have come all the way here. However, judging from the range of action of the giant worms that appeared in search of this spacious underground place hidden deep in the ground, they had a clear purpose. ¡®I¡¯m looking for something.¡¯ Calliope, who left behind Ox, which must have been in chaos by now, guessed the conclusion about the purpose of the demon beasts. ¡°Hmm¡­what is it?¡± Calliope looked back. Her gaze was on a platform carved as flat as an altar. There, the woman chosen by the sun was staring at Calliope, bleeding. The power of the sun overflowing into her. If those who wanted overwhelming power would not be surprised to covet her power. Calliope grinned at Sephia. * * * Ox entered a lull as the demonic beast retreated. However, people did not miss the tension in response to Dio¡¯s warning. Still, contrary to what I thought the warlocks would attack right away, they didn¡¯t move. ¡®I¡¯m moving much more cautiously than I thought. Is it because of Bertio and the Luna Church?¡¯ The battle just now was literally like a prelude to exploration. Is it because it is a force that is not expected to be their main force? The damage to Ox was very minimal. Most of the temporary barriers were destroyed, but they could be repaired. The only other damage was a few collapsed buildings and a few injuries. Even this was not life-threatening thanks to the treatment provided by the priests. ¡°What should I do now?¡± Calco opened his mouth towards Dio. There are currently three people gathered in the temporarily installed tactical barracks. Diamond disguises herself as a suspiciously strong mercenary. Calco, a senior knight of the Duke Bertio, a master of swordsmanship. Conrad, leader of the Holy Knights of the Eastern Diocese of Luna. They gathered to discuss what happened next. ¡°It is said that the enemy¡¯s strength can be roughly determined by the number of demonic beasts¡­ but nothing is certain.¡± ¡°According to the priests and wizards who are on guard in the vicinity, the number of demonic beasts that were first confirmed is gathering again.¡± Conrad shared the report he heard from the soldiers with a serious expression on Dio¡¯s words. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be better to attack from here before the warlocks summon more demons?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not possible.¡± Dio immediately dismissed Conrad¡¯s opinion. ¡°The number of those who have joined the demonic beasts is already greater than ours. ¡°There is no reason for us to give up our defense when we are at a disadvantage.¡± Even to protect the residents of Oaks, it was dangerous to leave the village. However, dispersing power is not a good idea either. ¡°Well, how strong would the demonic beasts be if they gathered together? ¡°They are probably embarrassed by our power and cannot attack easily.¡± Calco said, recalling today¡¯s battle in which he blocked the demonic beast¡¯s attack without any significant damage. ¡°I think we just need to focus on defense and wait for reinforcements, as you said.¡± Calco had sent soldiers to the city to inform them of the situation in Ox, and was relieved to think of the reinforcements that would come from the Duke¡¯s side. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be so optimistic. ¡°We must be wary of the group of warlocks who control the demonic beasts.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t think they have any intention of moving easily either¡­¡± ¡°If the warlocks are considering Bertio¡¯s support, they will try to finish the job as quickly as possible. ¡°The reason we¡¯re not moving right now is probably to figure out what Ox¡¯s current power is.¡± ¡°¡­If that is true, how should I deal with it? ¡°If they come, can we stop them?¡± Hearing Conrad¡¯s words full of worry, Dio looked at him. Normally, if he was in a position at the rank of knight commander, he would try to lead the war situation directly, but Conrad did not do that. Conrad looks quite dependent. ¡®That¡¯s probably because the force that Conrad is currently leading is not under his direct control.¡¯ Twenty paladins and ten priests in Ox. Dio only found out now, but half of them came with Inspector Telzia, who was dispatched from the holy nation of Atra. So, it is good news that their skills are superior compared to priests in the Eastern Diocese, who are generally less skilled than those in other dioceses, but¡­ ¡®The problem is that their direct superior is Telzia.¡¯ Dio thought of Telzia, who was currently imprisoned in an abandoned warehouse. Telzia firmly believed that it was Dio who controlled the demonic beast. Because she was causing so much trouble, everyone agreed to detain her first. It was fortunate that Kalko took the initiative to silence her. Telzia justified her actions in the name of the saint, and came forward in the name of the Kalkoga family in place of Conrad, who was embarrassed by her. -How dare you! Are you saying you will take the side of heresy right in front of me? What are you doing! Catch them now! -If there is a problem with them, I, Calco, the senior engineer of Bertio, will take responsibility for everything. The paladins and priests who had to follow Telzia¡¯s orders were unable to do this or that. Even though it was an order from a superior, it was difficult to consider Dio, who had killed a demonic beast right in front of him, a heretic. In addition, he was aware that a huge threat called a warlock was still nearby. Taking advantage of their hesitation, Kalko persuaded the priests, risking his and his family¡¯s honor. In the end, the Holy Knights agreed to quarantine Telzia in order to avoid political friction with Bertio. -All of you will be punished for disobeying orders and heresy¡­ Ugh! Of course, Telzia¡¯s cries of anger at this decision were heard. Was that why? S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Paladins agreed to quarantine Telzia, but were not active in countering the warlock¡¯s attacks. Conrad could not make a decision for them, and they thought it would be better to take Telzia back to the eastern diocese or the Holy Kingdom. The only reason I¡¯m staying in Oaks now is because of Conrad¡¯s request and the imprisoned Telzia. ¡°First of all, we need to become one.¡± Dio opened his mouth, pointing at the uncooperative Conrad. Whatever the current situation, the cooperation of the Holy Knights of the Luna Church is inevitable. And solving this was the first thing they had to do. ¡°I guess so¡­but the paladins are negative about this fight. I wish the Holy Kingdom would recognize what was going on here and make a new decision¡­¡± Conrad also knew this, but since he only held the rank of leader, there was nothing he could do beyond holding down the Holy Knights. All he can do is trust that the Luna Church will send support on its own. ¡°Even if they knew, they wouldn¡¯t stop Telzia¡¯s actions.¡± ¡°Even though the warlock showed up to show off?¡± Conrad shook his head at Dio¡¯s words, saying that couldn¡¯t be possible. However, Dio knows the true nature of the Luna Church. The will of Telzia, the inspector dispatched from the Holy Kingdom, was the same as that of the saint. The inspector is under the direct control of a saint. ¡®I won¡¯t ignore the warlocks, but their top priority will be me and Sepia.¡¯ If he was just a wanted person, they wouldn¡¯t have sent inspectors all over the continent to look for him. However, since he could not tell these facts to Calco and Konrad, Dio thought in silence for a while. Before taking countermeasures, it is absolutely necessary to rally the existing forces. ¡°Let¡¯s try to persuade Priest Telzia.¡± ¡°If it were possible, I would have done it a long time ago¡­¡± ¡°I have a way.¡± * * * A shabby warehouse guarded by Bertio soldiers. Inside the warehouse, Telzia was tied to a chair and was struggling to escape. Watching Telzia fluttering about like a fish out of water might have made you feel sorry, but her venomous eyes did not look pitiful at all. ¡°Eup eup!¡± Telzia, who had been gagged because he was making so much noise, became even more upset when he saw Dio¡¯s face. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± Dio sighed at the thought of hearing nonsense again, but in order to talk to Telzia, he had no choice but to temporarily loosen her restraints. ¡°Whoa, you bastard heretic! You will not die in peace! ¡°I will burn you to death and cut your embers into pieces!¡± Sure enough, as soon as Dio removed Telzia¡¯s gag, a cool curse was heard. Dio could have been enraged by her willingness to intervene as a lieutenant, but Dio was not of a weak mind enough to be swayed by her abusive language. ¡°On what basis are you concluding that I am a heretic?¡± Dio quietly asked Telzia, who had removed her gag but was still tied to the chair. ¡°under! Pretending not to know until the end! Even if you can fool Bertio¡¯s stupid second son, you can¡¯t fool me!¡± ¡°That¡¯s a bit of a politically dangerous statement.¡± Was it simply a slap in the face, or was it his intuition as an inspector? Others were just treating Telzia¡¯s words as forced, but not Dio. No matter what the guessing process was, it was correct that Dio was a wanted man sought by the church. ¡°An unidentified group disguised as mercenaries! And a fake force that mimics the light of the moon. Even though all these circumstances point to you as a heretic, are you planning to turn away?¡± ¡°Fake strength?¡± ¡°okay! ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know that you used that power to summon demonic beasts?¡± Surprisingly, Dio thought that Telzia had a keen sense of perspective as she spoke accurately about the reasons for her confidence. Telzia seemed to think that the power of the sun that attacked the demon beast was the power used by heretics. ¡°Above all, if you had nothing to hide, there would be no reason to hide yourself! ¡°Your lies are useless in front of the saint¡¯s relics!¡± ¡°hmm.¡± Aside from the belief that borders on madness, there was a reason for Telzia to push things like this. Dio could somewhat understand why she remained in the position of inspector general. However, the ability she had was just a guess based on senses without considering the errors. If we were to judge the facts, wasn¡¯t Telzia¡¯s guess half right and half wrong? Moreover, because they only place importance on the orders of the religious order, their ability to perceive the situation is significantly lower than that of ordinary people. Then¡­. ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s say you¡¯re right. ¡°Then why am I still trying to protect the village?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re an inside spy!¡± ¡°¡­okay?¡± Telzia¡¯s thoughts were firm, having already decided that Dio was a heretic. However, in the current conversation, Dio has clearly decided how to deal with Telzia. Here, it is a wrong choice to deny heresy until the end. However, admitting that it is heresy is not a good idea. In the end, you have to convince Telzia to be persuasive. If you want to convince Telzia, who is obsessed with fanaticism, you have no choice but to deceive. How can you fool me? What if you are now suspected of heresy? Dio smiled softly. What Telzia said. Inside spy. There is a difference between a heretic and a spy. Even though we only know that the recognition-impairing magic was applied through the relic, didn¡¯t we see his real face? ¡°We walk.¡± ¡°What¡­?¡± Telzia¡¯s eyes, which were spewing out anger at Dio¡¯s unexpected words, turned round. Knowledge that Dio knows. The knowledge of the deceased. He is confident that he knows all the circumstances of the Luna Church in order to defeat the Demon King. For Dio, who has this vast knowledge, it is very easy to deceive Telzia, who is just an inspector. Dio raised his index finger toward the sky and closed his eyes. And Dio¡¯s words continued as if he were praying. ¡°Even if it is on the back side of the moon.¡± ¡°!!¡± Every power has a shadow. The moon also has a shadow. They are different from believers who leave the moonlight behind and work in the sun. Devotees of the moon who work in shaded areas where moonlight does not reach. The word that refers to them is¡­ ¡°Are you all ¡®moon walkers¡¯?¡± ¡®It¡¯s easy.¡¯ Dio suppressed his laughter. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 94 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 94Episode 94 : Moon Walker. A secret organization that exists within the Luna Church. Dio chose to deceive Telzia. By using a group that operates secretly within the Luna Church. ¡°Why is Moonwalker here? I¡¯ve never heard of such a story¡­¡± Telzia stuttered, looking clearly embarrassed. In response, Dio roughly pushed the chair she was tied to with his foot. Grumble- ¡°Hi!¡± ¡°If you¡¯ve never heard of it, you shouldn¡¯t.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s overbearing tone of voice, Telzia¡¯s confident attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant. Telzia does not doubt that Dio is a moon walker, but only questions why the moon walker is here. The reason was obvious. ¡®A high-ranking inspector would know the oath used by moon walkers.¡¯ we walk Even if it¡¯s on the back side of the moon. A password used by moonwalkers and their oath. Even within the Luna Church, only a few people knew about this. And Dio was certain that Telzia was in that minority. The basis for this could be easily found by observing a person named Telzia. He knows the internal circumstances of the church simply because he is the inspector general of the holy kingdom of Atra. However, not all inspectors know of the existence of moonwalkers. However, among the inspectors, Telzia, who was dispatched as the person in charge, has the highest authority within the Luna Church. Telzia¡¯s position must not be low, judging from the news that she has joined Ates, the second son of Duke Bertio, whom she had only recently contacted. ¡®And since I was given a sacred relic, I must have some level of trust.¡¯ For these reasons, Dio judged that there was no way Telzia, who was presumed to be a leader, did not know about the existence of Moon Walker. ¡®There¡¯s a reason why I didn¡¯t listen to Conrad, the leader of the Holy Knights of the Eastern Diocese.¡¯ Although the clergy of the eastern diocese have been demoted, they cannot be treated carelessly. After assessing Telzia¡¯s rank, Dio immediately spoke of the Moon Walkers¡¯ oath. This oath is their own secret slogan, and the fact that they utter it proves that they are members of the Walkers. You may wonder how a secret organization can impersonate itself with just one password, but obtaining Moon Walker¡¯s password is by no means easy. ¡®Only moon walkers can reveal this.¡¯ Beings other than Moonwalkers cannot utter the password. That kind of ¡®oath¡¯ exists. We also know that only Moonwalker can say the oath, and Telzia can hear it but can never say it out loud. ¡®Of course, I don¡¯t have any oaths or anything like that.¡¯ Dio grinned and laughed. However, this method cannot be used for a long time. In the first place, this is a method that only works for idiots like Telzia. Telzia is a person that Dio does not remember. Inferring from this, we can see that Telzia¡¯s term as inspector general is short. If you have been working as an inspector for a long time, you would have encountered Dio¡¯s max level character. Or, if he was promoted to a higher position, that would remain in Dio¡¯s memory. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, if there are no memories, it means that Telzia was stripped of her position or died young due to lack of ability. If Telzia had five swords or the talent of an archbishop, impersonating Moon Walker would not have worked at all. ¡°Why am I hiding my identity? ¡°Because of you, everything we¡¯ve done to hide the heretics has been exposed.¡± ¡°That kind of thing.¡± ¡°still. The reason you moved means that my actions were secret¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡°I never even dreamed that Moon Walker would be here.¡± Telzia spoke hurriedly at Dio¡¯s words. ¡°Hmm¡­ Anyway, there are kites that go with me, right? I¡¯m digging them now. ¡°Maybe there¡¯s something bigger behind them.¡± Dio had no intention of denying the report about the suspicious mercenaries who had joined Bertio¡¯s second son. That order must have been given by the saint herself, so if you deny it, your lie will be discovered in an instant. To admit this, you had to sell your colleagues. ¡®sorry. Eveline Roberto. Bear with it.¡¯ Dio opened his mouth to Telzia, who was haggard from the pressure interview. ¡°Do you know how hard I tried to hide my divine power to deceive them? Besides, those heretics. ¡°Like you said, they were researching a fake power that mimics moonlight.¡± ¡°Ah, so¡­!¡± Telzia recalled something similar to the divine power used by Dio. It was the power of the sun, but it was enough for Telzia to mistake it for the power of the Moon Walker, whose divine power had been suppressed as much as possible. ¡°Anyway, leave the heretics alone for now. ¡°I have to keep pretending to be a teammate until we root them out.¡± ¡°Oh, I understand.¡± Telzia, who had come to firmly believe that Dio was a moonwalker, nodded eagerly. No, I made it so there could be no doubt. If you go wrong while denying your boss, everything you have built up at a young age will collapse. In any case, if you are this obedient, there is no subordinate that is quite convenient. Well, from the perspective of the Luna Church, it was understandable that such a blindly loyal subordinate would be easy to manage and use. ¡°The problem is the warlocks. ¡°I didn¡¯t know they would show up either.¡± ¡°Is that so? But don¡¯t you think those heretics and warlocks are part of the same group?¡± ¡°okay. The guys I¡¯m taking with me now are quite heterogeneous. These are the people the saintess is keeping a close eye on. The problem is that they seem to be on bad terms with regular warlocks¡­¡± Telzia grew restless as she watched the Moon Walker in front of her contemplating how to fix what had gone wrong. Of course, Dio is just wondering how to lie. ¡°Anyway, I have no choice but to fight the warlocks coming to town now.¡± ¡°Still, taking down the wanted heretics is the top priority¡­ Wouldn¡¯t it be better to take them to the Holy Kingdom?¡± Telzia cautiously expressed her opinion in response to Dio¡¯s words. At this, Dio sighed heavily and Telzia quickly shook her head, sensing that she had said something wrong. ¡°Oh no. I don¡¯t mean to interfere with Mr. Walker¡¯s work. ¡°I still follow the saint¡¯s orders¡­¡± ¡°Do you think the mission you have and the mission I have are the same? ¡°This matter is bigger than you think.¡± Dio grabbed Telzia¡¯s shoulder and threatened her. Telzia, who was frightened by this, nodded hurriedly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± ¡°Pay attention to heresy and focus on fighting warlocks.¡± ¡°Oh, I understand.¡± ¡°Keep in mind. ¡°You know that it¡¯s not okay for me to reveal to you that I¡¯m a Moonwalker, right?¡± ¡°Oh, I know. sorry. Please have mercy.¡± Telzia¡¯s face turned pale when Dio said that there was no way he would have revealed his identity if he hadn¡¯t been a troll. Excluding her closest associates, the only people who can have an audience with the saint are the five swords and the moonwalker. If Walker reports this, Telzia¡¯s life will not be guaranteed. ¡°don¡¯t worry. ¡°If you handle the warlock well, I will only give you credit for it.¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°okay. And you think I¡¯m only worried about ordinary warlocks? ¡°The guy who¡¯s coming this time¡­¡± Dio slowly opened his mouth, looking into Telzia¡¯s eyes, whose expression was changing every moment. ¡°He is a warlock of the 8th circle.¡± * * * ¡°Force your battle lines! You there! Can¡¯t you see that there¡¯s a shortage of supplies here? ¡°Get some rags from the villagers!¡± A high-ranking priest of the Luna Church who runs wild in the middle of the village. Telzia, who had no interest in dealing with the warlock just a moment ago, seemed really spineless to see running around with such enthusiasm. ¡°What on earth happened?¡± Conrad, who must have known Telzia¡¯s personality well, asked Dio in quite a bit of confusion. ¡°I guess I¡¯ve finally realized that I¡¯m not a heretic.¡± Dio gave a vague response to Conrad¡¯s words. Conrad, who had never tried to persuade Tesia through conversation, thought of Dio as a mercenary who was good at eloquence. I judged that my boldness in persuading the inspector general was superior to my weakness. In any case, perhaps thanks to Telzia¡¯s active cooperation, it was noticeable that Ox¡¯s defenses had been further strengthened. Active cooperation from the Luna Church. It was a good thing for everyone, including Dio, as the first problem of stopping the warlock was solved. ¡°Um¡­Dia mercenary? No mercenaries. Do you need the assistance of the paladins?¡± Telzia, who had finished arranging the paladins and priests, carefully approached Dio, who was talking with Conrad, and opened his mouth. ¡®I¡¯m not good at acting.¡¯ Dio had instructed Telzia to act as if he were dealing with ordinary mercenaries. However, Telzia, who still firmly believed that the opponent was a walker, could not help but look at Dio¡¯s notice. ¡°¡­.¡± Dio pointed at Conrad with a nod at the pitiful attitude of Telzia, who was reporting to him even though the leader of the Holy Knights of the Luna Church was next to him. Only then did Telzia, who was anxious, hurriedly open her mouth to Conrad. ¡°Chief Conrad. Please take charge of the battle line with multiple paladins. ¡°I and the priests will assist.¡± ¡°Oh, I understand.¡± For some reason, it felt like the conductor had changed, but Conrad just looked at Dio as if he was amazed. ¡°I and my companions will move separately, so Gyodan and Bertio, please protect your respective positions.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I will only trust you.¡± Conrad nodded and moved toward Dio. After successfully persuading Telzia, each commander and Dio came up with a short strategy. Since Dio had already contributed greatly to the initial attack by the demonic beasts, Conrad and Calco accepted it without any objection. Knights are experts who specialize in interpersonal combat. Paladins were exceptional at fighting magical beasts, but they did not have as much experience as Dio. In other words, they themselves came to the conclusion that the most suitable person to be a commander was a diamond mercenary. Telzia also agreed without needing to comment. ¡®If my prediction is correct, the warlock leading them is that guy.¡¯ Dio always assumes the worst. Therefore, we developed a strategy to deal with the approaching threat with the highest level of skill in mind. If Dio¡¯s prediction was wrong, that was fine. This is because being wrong means that it is not the worst that Dio assumed. ¡°Clover Spades and Jack No. Um¡­Athes.¡± Dio parted ways with Conrad and called the people waiting for him one by one. ¡°Hey Artes. Wouldn¡¯t it be better for you to stay with Lord Calco?¡± ¡°it¡¯s okay. ¡°Didn¡¯t Lord Kalko also recognize Captain Diamond?¡± I don¡¯t know how he persuaded Calco, but Ates is now with Dio. Since Dio was not an ordinary opponent, I wondered if he would have the strength to even care about Artes, but when I thought about it again, it was probably good. Anyway, just because it¡¯s hidden inside the village doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s safe. It is not a good thing from Dio¡¯s perspective to leave a swordsman as good as Artes in a situation where even one of his strengths is lacking. ¡®If we die anyway, we¡¯ll all die. For now, I¡¯ll just have to focus on surviving as best I can.¡¯ Dio recalled the position he had established in Temberg and explained it to the group once again. ¡°Spade ranks with me. Clover is a mid-level assistant. ¡°You all remember, right?¡± ¡°huh! ¡°Leave it to me!¡± ¡°yes.¡± Roberto is a boxer who is skilled in blood magic and trained by Schuwald. Evelyn¡¯s main skill is shadow magic, which specializes in tying up opponents. The positions of these two were clear. ¡°Athes, you are a member of our group. Admit to yourself that you are the weakest. But that doesn¡¯t mean you shouldn¡¯t fight.¡± ¡°Can you call me Jack too? ¡°I¡¯m sad.¡± ¡°Now that you¡¯ve come¡­? Yes Jack. Anyway, did you understand what I said?¡± ¡°¡­All right.¡± ¡°Clover and Spades move with me, and Jack looks after all of us or provides support where the defense is lacking.¡± ¡°yes!¡± Dio, who had decided on the positions of his companions, looked beyond the barrier and took a deep breath. Giant Worm Troll Hell Hound Skeleton¡­. Dio was able to identify the warlock wielding the beast based on the type of beast sent as an advance party. The only person capable of commanding this number and type of magical beasts is the 8th circle warlock. ¡®The stronger demonic beasts probably haven¡¯t even moved yet.¡¯ Dio, who had been calculating in his mind the battle that would unfold in the future, looked up to see the sky turning black. ¡®It has begun.¡¯ It¡¯s not a cloud. The energy of pitch-black darkness. At least it blocks the moonlight shining on the surroundings. The highest level of black magic that manipulates natural phenomena at will. The warlock that Dio was so wary of. Luave Delakiel¡¯s [Lunar Eclipse] announced the start of the battle. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 95 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 95Episode 95 Generally, magicians of the 8th circle are classified as archmages. Luave dell¡¯Achiel. This standard also applies to warlocks, and Luav is clearly a warlock called an archmage. ¡®I was hoping my prediction would be wrong¡­¡¯ Dio sighed upon recognizing Luave¡¯s proprietary patent, [Lunar Eclipse], but soon came to his senses. Luave¡¯s specialty is ¡®Improvement of Beasts¡¯. Turn monsters into magical beasts and combine new magical beasts to create chimeras. Due to Luave¡¯s ability to turn even beasts into magical beasts, the nickname given to him is ¡®Legion¡¯. To fight Luave, you have to defeat the army of demonic beasts under his control. It¡¯s not an annoying level enemy. You have to risk your life to deal with him. No matter how strong you are, there is a limit to your physical strength. Of course, there are stronger beings, so it does not belong to the pentagram, but that does not mean it is weak. Compared to the enemies we have met so far, it is on the same level as the five-handed sword Galetto. Even then, Dio was no match for Galletto. If it weren¡¯t for Schuwald, who ran away during the full moon, he would have been stuck. ¡®If you hold out until Calliope¡¯s treatment is complete¡­¡¯ Among the current forces, the only person who can compete against Luave is the Witch of Balance. No matter how strong Luave is, she is weaker than Calliope, the Witch of Balance. However, Calliope¡¯s current condition was not perfect, so Dio had to do whatever it took to stop her until she recovered. thud. The demonic beasts with their backs to the darkness begin to move. Although the night obscured the appearance of the demonic beasts, the shaking of the ground showed that the scale was not small. thud! thud! ¡°Light up!¡± ¡°They are coming!¡± Even without Dio saying anything, the soldiers knew this, so they hurriedly revealed their surroundings. They moved the torch they were holding to a nearby brazier or sprinkled luminous stones around them. The priests also used magic and divine power to brighten the surroundings. ¡°Everyone, stay alert! He is one of the leaders of the warlocks. ¡°This is Luave Dell¡¯Achiel!¡± Convinced that it was Luave, Dio called out to each commander and shared the identity of the guy. ¡°Luave? A warlock of the 8th circle? Damn, not in the North, but already in the East?¡± Conrad shouted after hearing Dio¡¯s words. Through his reaction, we can see that Luave¡¯s notoriety is also known to the Luna Church. There are only a few archmages on the entire continent. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Moreover, if it is a warlock who can be said to be the archenemy of the Luna Church, it is impossible for Konrad, the leader of the Holy Knights, to know about it. ¡°This [lunar eclipse] is not just for blocking light! Demonic beasts affected by this will have much stronger strength, so be careful!¡± Dio warned everyone that it would be different from the magical beasts they first faced. It is clear that he is a veteran mercenary, but Dio is still just a mercenary. It seemed that such a mercenary naturally gave overall orders, but no one expressed dissatisfaction with this. Naturally, Dio had already shown them his abilities, so there was no way he would be dissatisfied. Coo! A huge sound let them know that the demonic beasts had reached a short distance away. ¡°Enemy ahead discovered! The exact number is difficult to determine!¡± The soldier on the watchtower shouted when he spotted the demonic beast that had appeared from the darkness. Dio, who also discovered this, raised his voice once again. ¡°The enemy¡¯s leader is Grave Elephant! Watch out for the Black Lizard behind him!¡± The Grave Elephant fully revealed itself as soon as Dio finished speaking. The nearly 3-meter-tall creature, nicknamed the ¡®Grave Elephant¡¯ among players, showed off its majesty by raising its front legs. -Coooooo! * * * Dio smiled as he looked at the selected demon beasts that were organized around Grave Elephant, as he had expected. Fighting against Luave, who commands an army of demonic beasts, is something Dio is familiar with. When dealing with Luave for the first time, Dio and the players had a very difficult time. However, several prominent figures, including Dio, experienced the fixed tactic pattern used by Luave and created a strategy to break it. Due to Luave¡¯s own arrogance, including level 8, he prioritized quantity rather than diversity and variation in tactics. ¡®It¡¯s an obvious tactic to me, who knows the pattern.¡¯ Dio, who has already had endless experience with Luave¡¯s tactics, already knows how to counter him. And this has already been shared with Calco and Konrad. Dio drew a large circle with the hand holding the torch. Calco, who watched this, nodded and shouted loudly. ¡°Raise your sword! Don¡¯t be afraid of the monster in front of you! ¡°Give them a taste of Bertio¡¯s sword!¡± ¡°Waaaa!¡± Bertio¡¯s shout signaled the start of a full-scale fight. * * * Large-scale battles with demonic beasts are different from wars between humans. There is no need for the demonic beasts to have a commander commanding from the rear or sounding a trumpet. They only follow their instincts, under the command of the most powerful warlock. The instinct is to destroy the enemy in front of you. -Coooooo! A knight stood in front of the Grave Elephant. Quang! A huge paw struck the knight in the way, causing a lot of dust to rise from the impact. Kurrrrr- A shock so strong that the ground trembles. However, the Bertio knight withstood the Grave Elephant¡¯s attack. A superhuman who has already far surpassed the range of power that humans can produce. ¡°Keuuuuuu¡­! ¡°Are you going to beat me?¡± That was the knight, and the knight who had solidified his defense as instructed by Dio from the beginning was able to withstand the Grave Elephant¡¯s attack. bang! The knight forcefully pushed away the Grave Elephant¡¯s foot, which he had blocked with his sword. Coo! A Grave Elephant lying down awkwardly. However, as Dio said, the Black Lizard¡¯s attacks continued one after another, charging at him using him as a shield. -Coooooo! -Karruk! Loud! This is not a typical lizard race. The Black Lizard was addicted to the darkness of the warlock and was reborn as a magical beast. Even though he is already 2 meters long, his height has increased by 30%. Those with hard, sharp black scales swung their weapons at the knights. however. Puppuppuk-! The long spears of the soldiers assisting the knights from behind pierced the Black Lizard. The soldiers were not strong enough to kill the Black Lizard in one blow, but just stopping their actions helped the knight¡¯s next move. Kwagwagwagwak! The knight¡¯s horizontal slash cut down dozens of Black Lizards. ¡°Soldiers, assist the knight! ¡°Don¡¯t just step forward and put up a shield whenever possible!¡± Battles of this type took place in various places, and Calco, who was in full command of the Bertio knights, led the horses and calmly gave orders. Quagwagwagwang! As Bertio¡¯s knights and soldiers held fast to the front, the magicians had no choice but to crowd in, and the trap of the wizard and Evelyn, who had been waiting for this, was activated. Puff puff! A trap created by concentrating mana. So-called mana mines. The activated mine caused a huge explosion and instantly engulfed the demon beast. The demon beasts that were trying to somehow escape from the explosion were unable to escape easily because of the shadows that were hanging on their feet. ¡°You¡¯re doing great.¡± Dio, who saw that the first battle was successful, raised his sword high and signaled. A signal to never charge even if the demonic beasts in the front line are weakened. ¡°Stay where you are! ¡°Defend the first position!¡± In response, Kalko shouted again and reorganized the soldiers¡¯ line. The Duke of Bertio was not called the King of the East for nothing. Bertio, even an ordinary soldier, is called an elite. Unless you have been through intense training for a long time, it is impossible to move in accordance with commands like this. Of course, Dio planned his strategy from the beginning based on the assumption of a warlock named Luabra. And conveying this to Calco and Konrad was also helpful. ¡®I¡¯ll try to prepare soon too.¡¯ Normally, he would have taken the lead in the battle to monopolize the experience points, but in this battle, Dio did not go on a rampage easily. This is because you need to focus on Luave, which can be seen as your biggest enemy. Bubble bubbling! Fireworks exploding here and there light up the surroundings. The number of demonic beasts reflected in the explosion was countless. Even though the Bertio knights cut down many of the demonic beasts in the front line. -Karruk! -Kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Once the installed mana mines were all consumed, the demonic beasts¡¯ battle line began to recover again. Because there were so many of them, even the Vertio knights seemed overwhelmed. No matter how strong the knights are, endurance fighting is not a good choice. Paaaaat! The brilliant light that would save the knights who had reached their limit burned the magical beast. It was the priests¡¯ [Holy Light]. The light containing Luna¡¯s divine power, which is fatal to the demon beasts, pushed back the demon beasts¡¯ battle lines more overwhelmingly than when the mana mine exploded. ¡°Now! rotation!¡± Paladins are sent into battle instead of tired knights. This was also a strategy that D.O. had planned in advance. Oaks is a small town located on the outskirts. So, although it was difficult to use fortification tactics, it also had advantages. Demonic beasts attacked from all directions, but the troops focused on defense centered on Ox were also concentrated. There is no need to release a dense form to fight multiple demon beasts at once. The basic framework of this strategy is to take advantage of bottlenecks resulting from differences in volume and terrain. As it is a small village, the places where battles take place are limited, and knights and paladins can take turns blocking the beasts. ¡°Hold on!¡± ¡°Dirty demon beasts!¡± As the paladins who drew their swords came out on behalf of Knight Bertio, Conrad naturally took over as commander. The same battle repeats itself again. However, Ox¡¯s solid defense blocked the demon beast just as well as the first time, or even more solidly. ¡°We are moving now too.¡± ¡°yes!¡± Dio, who thought it was time to make a move, began to slowly examine the situation. Thanks to the efforts of the Vertio Knights and the Holy Knights of the Luna Church in turns, they appear to be able to block the attack without difficulty. The situation clearly favors the Ox Alliance. Did Luave, who knew this, give different instructions? The demonic beasts that had initially flocked from all directions suddenly turned and began to focus on one place. As this happened, Ox¡¯s troops also moved accordingly. If one place is breached, the entire thing will collapse in an instant, so it would be natural. However, this is Luave¡¯s intention, set before the battle even begins. The moment when the troops on the side relaxed for a moment against the relentless attack of the demonic beasts on the front. Kwagwagwagwagwang! A group of hellhounds pouring in on a giant worm that broke through the ground. The number was not small, as if they had been preparing for this in advance. A flank invasion by demonic beasts that were estimated to be five hundred in number. The surprised soldiers shouted in confusion, but the main knights and paladins were already unable to provide support to block the magical attack from the front. ¡°Ha!¡± Crumbling! Roberto stretched out his fist and landed in the middle of the demonic army that was trying to break through the side. The shock wave created by Roberto¡¯s fist that struck the ground instantly tore apart the nearby demonic beasts. ¡®There¡¯s no way around it.¡¯ Luave¡¯s core strategy of easily destroying small villages and destroying even strictly disciplined troops was none other than flanking raids. However, D.O. predicted this and immediately prepared for the poor timing. Crack! Vampire Roberto, whose physical abilities were much higher than those of humans, ripped open the hell hound¡¯s mouth with just his grip strength. Not only that, every time he swung his fist, the bodies of the demonic beasts exploded and the blood of the demonic beasts began to be absorbed into him. Bubble bubbling! [Blood Explosion], which absorbs and explodes the opponent¡¯s blood. This not only caused damage to the opponent, but also restored Roberto¡¯s stamina. It was a down-and-out fight with an appropriate balance between offense and defense. ¡°Let¡¯s go on a rampage too.¡± ¡°Yes! Leave it to me!¡± Evelyn shouted loudly at Dio¡¯s words. The wide shadow spread from her staff began to flow through the darkness and surround the demonic beasts that were making a surprise attack. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 96 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 96Episode 96: Strangely enough, Evelyn¡¯s shadow radiated light and instantly illuminated the battlefield. At the same time, he grabbed the feet of the demon beasts and hindered the movement of those strengthened by [Lunar Eclipse]. There was a way to defeat multiple demon beasts with a powerful attack, but the mana consumed was a burden on Evelyn. Dio expected the battle to be a bit long anyway and was okay with it being long, so he instructed Evelyn from the beginning. Just focus on binding and weakening the magical beast. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In any case, Roberto and Dio¡¯s own attacks were enough to kill the demonic beasts in front of him. It was much more efficient for Evelyn to support the attack rather than join it. It would be difficult to manage mana to maintain this, but Dio believed that she could do it. And as Dio responded, Evelyn¡¯s shadow held back the magical beasts like a swamp, drastically weakening their combat abilities. ¡®It¡¯s a shame Evelyn¡¯s equipment is lacking.¡¯ If they had been armed with better equipment, they could have helped not only the flanks here, but also the knights and paladins. But now was not the time to lament so regretfully. Dio ran towards the army of demonic beasts held by Evelyn. His physical condition was much lighter than usual. Was he exhilarated by the battle for his life? Of course not. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Berserker¡¯s Potion] Grade: Rare Classification: Potion Effect: Damage +2%, double effect when HP is less than 50% Duration : 1 hour [Potion of Speed] ] Grade: Rare Classification: Potion Effect: All action speed +10% Duration: 30 minutes [Potion of Regeneration] Grade: Rare Classification: Potion Effect: Health recovery +30% Duration: 1 hour [Magic Regeneration Potion] Grade: Rare Classification: Potion Effect: Mana recovery +30% Duration: 1 hour ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio is currently doped with all kinds of potions. The consumable potions that I had collected from the warehouse I had visited so far. Since the quantity was limited, these potions were saved for the moment when they were most needed. As long as it is clear that the opponent is Luave, it will not be enough to use every means and every item. ¡®Shall we go?¡¯ As I first mentioned, I left behind Ates, who was in charge of rear support, and followed Roberto and Evelyn, who went first, and rushed at the demon beasts. Slap- Wow! The silver arming sword and mace held in both hands of Dio cut off or crushed the hell hound¡¯s head. The average level of the magic beast army was around 200. Even without doping the potion, Dio would have no trouble dealing with them, but since there were so many of them, he needed to pay attention to his stamina while fighting. Rather than firing off big skills from the beginning, be as efficient as possible. A range rather than a single unit. Dio, who was lightly warming up, aimed at the cursed stone golem that was being escorted by a hell hound. ¡°Roberto! ¡°Get back!¡± Among the group, Roberto was at the forefront of the mob. Dio briefly pushed Roberto, who was attracting the aggro of the demonic beasts, back. Boom ¨C Dio¡¯s sword, shining silver, swung towards the demonic beasts gathered around the stone golem. Forgotten Swordsmanship [Island]. Kwagwagwagwagwak! The wave of energy fired from Dio¡¯s sword swept away all the magical beasts in a straight line. And the released power of the sun hit the golem, which was easy to hit thanks to its huge size. Fuuuuuuu! The forgotten sword skill [Island] is an evolved skill from [Bok], so it can double the power of the explosion. Crumbling ¨C The golem¡¯s body collapsed like a building being demolished due to the explosion of the [Island], and other demonic beasts around it were also engulfed in flames. [Mana consumption increases by 100% due to the effect of the lunar eclipse.] [Only 50% of the effect of the lunar eclipse due to light is applied.] Dio looked at the system window and briefly clicked his tongue at the annoying effect of the lunar eclipse. ¡®Evelyn is trying her best, but in the end, her mana consumption is higher than usual. ¡®I need to adjust it a little more.¡¯ Although he had taken a mana regeneration potion, it was difficult to completely avoid the effects of the lunar eclipse even with doping like this. Still, I have extra mana potions so don¡¯t worry. Plus¡­ ¡°Where!¡± Dio fired the [Island] towards the group of demonic beasts that were regrouping once again. Kwagwagwagwagwa! Once again, a dazzling light swept through the demonic beasts, and they moved ceaselessly in search of the dense demonic beasts. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! As Dio and his companions continued their activities, the momentum of the demonic army that was attacking the flanks was seen to be noticeably decreasing. ¡°Woo-¡± They said they would control it, but the number of demonic beasts is still putting pressure on them. Dio threw back the potion bottle he had just drank and looked at the knights and paladins fighting the main force of the demon beast. Luave also realized that the flank attack had failed and did not send additional support to the troops that had strengthened the flank. ¡®Then what will he do next¡­¡¯ The moment Dio thinks about Luave¡¯s next tactic. Coo coo coo coo ¨C The ground shakes and the piled up corpses of demonic beasts suddenly begin to gather in one place. The torn flesh of the demonic beasts gathered together to form a single shape, becoming increasingly larger as time passed. ¡°Coooooooo!¡± The haphazardly mixed corpses of the demonic beasts far exceeded the size of the Grave Elephant and the Cursed Golem. Pow! And a new demon beast was born from the pile of corpses. ¡°Koooooooo!¡± Based on the body of an ogre, the head of a lion, the ivory of an elephant, and the scales of a lizard. It¡¯s like a monster created by mixing all kinds of demons and animals. The appearance of the chimera shook the battlefield once again. ¡°Um¡­what is that monster!¡± ¡°Chimera, calm down!¡± ¡°You bastard! ¡°Concentrate your attack!¡± Kwagwagwagwa! Black flames spewing out from the chimera¡¯s mouth. The paladins, surprised by this, hurriedly put up their shields. ¡°It¡¯s a poisonous flame! ¡°Priests use shields again!¡± Conrad, who realized the seriousness of the situation, drew his sword and joined the paladins against the Chimera. ¡°Shoot! ¡°Pour it all out!¡± ¡°Kill him before he spews more poison!¡± Telzia also not only protected the Paladin along with the priests, but also fired magic at the Chimera. Burbububbung! The barrage of condensed light exploded the moment it touched the chimera. -Koooooo! However, the priests¡¯ attack only briefly slowed down the chimera¡¯s movement and had no further effect. Perhaps because it was getting on their nerves, the chimera¡¯s angry paw struck the paladins¡¯ shield. The Paladins also put up their shields, but perhaps because they were half melted trying to block the poisonous breath, they barely managed to block them with their teeth clenched. Quagwagwagwang! ¡°The front line is down!¡± ¡°Apply!¡± The Bertio Knights hurriedly tried to maintain the front line on behalf of the Paladins, but the Chimera had already crossed the line. The chimera that broke through the front line was not the problem. The problem was the situation after the front line was breached. Through this, numerous legions of demonic beasts entered the interior of Ox. In that case, the numerically disadvantaged Oaks Allied Forces could never handle it. Knowing this, Calco and Konrad took command to somehow stop the Chimera. However, the momentum of the Chimera, which was like the decisive battle weapon of the Demonic Beast Corps, showed no signs of abating. A moment of desperation. ¡°Everyone step back!¡± Dio, who was watching this whole situation, shouted. * * * Chimera of Luave. Dio also knew Luave¡¯s next move after the failed flank attack. This is also Luave¡¯s fixed tactical pattern. If the surprise attack fails, release the chimera at the location where the troops are most concentrated. This was a fighting method that showed Luave¡¯s tendencies rather than a particularly strategic one. A chimera reborn using a corpse. It is a tactic to break the morale of the enemy in the face of overwhelming inaction. It¡¯s as if no matter how hard you struggle, it¡¯s in the palm of my hand. -Karrrrrrrrrr! -Scream! With the appearance of the Chimera, an army of demonic beasts focuses on Dio and his group. It was not about trying again on a side where they had failed. Luave¡¯s idea is to tie up Dio and his friends who can stop the Chimera. ¡®No way.¡¯ However, Dio already had a weapon ready to kill the chimera. ¡°Roberto!¡± Dio called Roberto, and he broke the neck of the Black Lizard he was holding, then put his hands together and made a footrest towards Dio. Crash! Dio also ran as fast as he could after cutting down the demonic beasts around him, and in an instant he was on top of Roberto¡¯s gathered hands. ¡°now!¡± ¡°Ha!¡± At Dio¡¯s signal, Roberto raised his arm as high as he could and threw Dio. ¡®Chimera¡¯s level is 350. To finish it off with one blow¡­¡¯ Of course, that chimera is not Luave¡¯s final weapon. Luave¡¯s true final weapon is still far from being released, but right now, the priority is to kill that chimera on the front lines. ¡®Even though I knew and prepared, it was like this.¡¯ Dio jumped high into the sky and took out a long spear from his inventory. The polearm itself is not a very good item. Even if Dio uses all his strength, the polearm will not pierce the chimera¡¯s skin. but. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Sun¡¯s Top Penetration Scroll] Grade: Unique Classification: Scroll Effect: Weapon Penetration +1000 Special: Additional solar power is applied to the penetration power. [Sun¡¯s Supreme Explosion Scroll] Grade: Unique Classification: Scroll Effect: Explosion damage +2000 Special: The power of the sun is applied to the explosion. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Skill [Blessing of the Sun] obtained from Solari. This skill, which can only strengthen two items for 7 days, turned Dio¡¯s scroll order book into a fraudulent item. It is not enough to simply increase the 25% figure. Just because it contains the power of the sun, if the opponent is a magical beast, its power can be at least 5 times greater. Dio, who flew high with Roberto¡¯s help, aimed at the rampaging chimera alone. The target is his head. Since two top-level scrolls have been used, the polearm Dio is holding is no longer an ordinary weapon. ¡°Ha!¡± pop! The long spear escaped from Dio¡¯s hand as if a cannonball was fired, splitting the air with an explosion sound. Throw in! The pike flew in an orange line in the hazy darkness. The javelin pierced the chimera¡¯s head exactly, and the movement of the chimera that was hit directly stopped completely. The power of the sun seeps into that pierced brain. Flash! Kwagwagwagwagwang! The chimera¡¯s head exploded in an instant and its huge body fell backwards. Coo! ¡°Waaaa!!¡± When the chimera, which seemed insurmountable to confront, was killed with a single blow, the morale of the soldiers who were blocking it rose immediately. ¡°¡­oh my god. ¡°It¡¯s huge.¡± Kalko and Konrad opened their mouths in exclamation for a moment, then came to their senses. Then, using this momentum, he began to push back the demonic beasts that had crossed the front line with Chimera. ¡°Whoa.¡± Dio landed on the ground and sighed. I prepared only one long spear that I just used. Although it was a situation where not even a single mistake could be tolerated, thanks to concentrating all of one¡¯s nerves and strength, the chimera was successfully defeated. ¡°You are amazing! ¡°Dia!¡± ¡°Are you not planning on becoming a knight?¡± The Bertio knights near the place where Dio landed gave generous praise. ¡°Well, with this much.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s replenish our stamina for a moment. ¡°We will take care of this.¡± Dio nodded lightly at the knight¡¯s words. Luave¡¯s invasion is not over yet. The current battle is only phase 1. If Dio fought any longer than now, problems could arise during the next battle. ¡®The knights and paladins will handle the legion with the dead chimera without difficulty.¡¯ Dio still looked at the dark sky. It felt like a lot of time had passed since it was a hectic battle, but the sky was still dark due to Luave¡¯s lunar eclipse. ¡®There¡¯s still a long way to go.¡¯ Even though numerous demon beasts were defeated, Luave has not yet appeared. He truly cannot be a man with a heavy butt. Well, it¡¯s natural that Luave only appears after the second wave. Anyway, if you catch the Chimera in the second wave, a new enemy will appear. Because there are not only demonic beasts under his command. From the beginning, Luave is an 8th circle archmage and the leader of the warlocks. Hwii-ing ¨C An army of demonic beasts that stopped advancing for a moment. The Allied forces of Oaks cheered as they sensed victory, but their cheers did not last long. hook! And the cold wind begins to extinguish the torches. ¡°What is a torch?¡± ¡°I sense a lot of demon energy! Be careful!¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t relax!¡± Calco and Konrad, who had heard Dio¡¯s story to some extent, gathered the soldiers without losing their nerve. Dozens of human figures appeared among the demonic beasts as if they had nothing to do with this. It was the appearance of warlocks dressed entirely in black robes. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 97 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 97Episode 97 ¡°Reassemble the demonic beasts!¡± Among the warlocks on the battlefield, one who appeared to be a commander shouted. Then, the demonic beasts that were running wild based solely on instinct gathered together as if to protect the warlocks. ¡°Destroy the church¡¯s defenses!¡± The warlock learned from the previous battle that the knights and paladins did not come out of Ox¡¯s defenses. If the paladins and priests were determined to defend, it would have been difficult for the magic beasts alone to advance. So the warlocks chose a method to neutralize the priests¡¯ defenses. Wow ¨C about 30 warlocks started chanting spells all at once, and their magic was fired towards the magic of the priests protecting Ox. Pajijik ¨C The priests of the Luna Church, who could not have been unaware of the warlocks¡¯ purpose, also gathered more divine power in response. [Holy Protect], a higher level magic of [Holy Shield] that shows that it is even more robust, blocked the magic of the warlocks. Pubbung! ¡°Hold on! ¡°Those dirty heretics will never be a match for us!¡± Even though a considerable amount of mana and sacred power were consumed in the battle between the demonic beasts, Telzia took the lead and encouraged the priests. Telzia was more excited than ever, perhaps because Dio had said that he would report on his achievements if he dealt with the warlock. Puzzling-Peeing! Whatever the reason, Telzia¡¯s words, which lead the morale, had an effect, blocking the heavy rain of magic from the warlock. However, it could not be ignored that unlike priests who fought one battle after another, warlocks were very energetic. Jeok- However, when priests use magic, they use both mana and divine power, and the effect of holy magic is determined by the mixing ratio. A considerable amount of sacred power was used in the battle with the demonic beasts, and the current sacred magic inevitably has a high mana ratio. For this reason, the ¡®anti-magic power¡¯, which is a characteristic of sacred magic, is lacking. It was a natural result that the shield made hastily by the mana-filled [Holy Protect] cracked. ¡°We are being pushed back!¡± ¡°What should I do? Do you maintain the wire? If it continues like this¡­.¡± The surrounding soldiers also stamped their feet, perhaps nervous about the situation in front of them. The only way to block the warlock¡¯s magic from damaging the priest¡¯s shield is to kill them. However, the Ox Allied forces failed to charge beyond the position determined by the commander¡¯s order. Moreover, even when the elite came back from dealing with the warlock, the numerous magical beasts protecting them were a burden. ¡°Everyone stand by! ¡°Wait right there!¡± After taking a short break, Dio shouted again at the top of his voice. He then gestured to Evelyn, who was dealing with the demonic remnants that had invaded the village. ¡°clover! ¡°It¡¯s your turn!¡± ¡°Heed my call. ¡°Evil Crow!¡± At Dio¡¯s call, Evelyn summoned her prepared familiar. Grumble ¨C It was different from the ordinary crow I used before. A crow, whose entire body was on fire, flew high into the sky, like a phoenix called a divine beast. The flames emitted by Evil Crow were very noticeable in the night sky, and even the warlocks noticed this. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°Should we shoot it down? ¡°It¡¯s not magic on our part.¡± ¡°The distance is too far. ¡°For now, focus on their shields!¡± The warlocks decided that there was no way to do anything about Evil Crow, who flew high into the sky. Even if that flaming crow was a threat, it was because the distance from the warlocks was quite long. Evil Crow did not appear to be rushing at all, but was rising higher and higher in the sky, so the warlocks thought it was just a ploy by the enemy. The intention is to steal your attention and break your concentration. But their judgment was wrong. ¡°Caw!¡± Evil Crow, who had soared so high, began to flap his wings vigorously. Chijijijijijik ¨C The warlocks haven¡¯t noticed until now. [Shadow Web]. The sky is now filled with spider web-shaped ¡®threads¡¯ made from mana installed by Evelyn. The mana thread was like magic that acted as a fuse. Like the fuse that ignites a fuse or detonator to explode a bomb, the mana thread can also activate ¡®magic¡¯ from a distance. A mana thread that starts igniting when Evil Crow flaps his wings. Chijijijijijijik ¨C Lunar eclipse in Luave. The dark mana thread, like a shadow hidden in the darkness, finally began to do its job. The flames attached to the mana thread moved quickly and spread everywhere. A burning spider web that instantly filled the sky. The warlocks noticed that the spider web extended to the location where they were located and hurriedly shouted. ¡°Stop it!¡± ¡°Sever the mana thread!¡± ¡°Damn I can¡¯t see very well!¡± The warlocks, who finally felt a sense of crisis, hurriedly tried to extinguish the flame of the mana thread, but it was already too late. A huge magic circle that you never know when it was installed. The magic circle was spread out in the area where the warlocks were, and there were more than one or two ignited mana threads. Faaah! The moment the spark of the mana thread that the warlocks missed touched the magic circle, Evelyn¡¯s shadow magic was activated in a chain. ¡°What is this shadow?¡± ¡°Everyone run away!¡± The ground the warlocks were standing on was covered in darkness. The darkness began to engulf the warlocks like a swamp, and they struggled to escape somehow. However, the more the warlocks struggled, the more the shadow swamp sucked them in. [Shadow Sinkhole]. A warlock who took a position to break the magic of the priests. They could not escape because the demonic beasts they had summoned to protect their bodies turned out to be poisonous. Kwagwagwagwa! The ground, which was initially sticky like a swamp, suddenly sank down, creating a huge puddle. And the Ox troops cheered in unison at the sight of dozens of warlocks falling to their deaths. ¡°No way! ¡°You knew we would settle down here?¡± Most of the warlocks caught in Evelyn¡¯s trap lost their lives, but there were a few who escaped. Among them, the warlock who appeared to be the commander could not help but be astonished by this trap. Activating a trap of this scale requires preparation in advance. Powerful enough to take the lives of most warlocks. If it had been used when the demon beast army attacked, it could have been stopped much more easily.

It was as if they were waiting for the warlocks. ¡°How is that possible?¡± The warlock had no way of knowing. The order and place where they are sent into battle. The fact that all of these are also Luave¡¯s established ¡®patterns¡¯ and that there are people in Ox who already know this. * * * ¡®I killed more than half of them.¡¯ The warlocks under Luave are deployed after the first wave for the sole purpose of ¡®siege¡¯. Considering their range, Dio could easily predict where the warlocks would be positioned. It doesn¡¯t matter even if you don¡¯t know the exact coordinates. If it is a spell with a wide area of effect, like the [Shadow Sinkhole] used by Evelyn, it can cause great damage just by being nearby. ¡®The first wave will end soon.¡¯ After confirming that the trap set by Evelyn had successfully dealt with the warlocks, Dio quickly prepared for the next step. ¡°Everyone prepare for the next attack! ¡°They will attack again!¡± The surviving warlocks were of a higher level than Evelyn. Although the power was amplified using a pre-installed magic circle, the level difference cannot be ignored. It wouldn¡¯t have mattered if all the warlocks had been taken out, but Dio checked some of the surviving warlocks. Since they know that they will lead the remaining demonic beasts into an all-out war, they are trying to prepare again. Dio¡¯s ability to memorize patterns and look ahead to every move and respond to them. It certainly looked like if things continued like this, Luave¡¯s offensive could be blocked without difficulty. But¡­ boom! Evelyn¡¯s familiar, which was floating in the sky to attack the warlocks, suddenly exploded. ¡°Tsk!¡± Evelyn, who was mentally connected to Evil Crow, also staggered in shock. ¡°What?¡± Dio was taken aback by this unexpected situation. It was a situation that Dio had not expected for Evelyn¡¯s familiar to be attacked as he roamed the skies. ¡°whoever?¡± Fluttering ¨C Numerous flying objects appeared covering the sky, as if solving Dio¡¯s doubts. Crimson Gargoyle. Dio was taken aback by the sight of a gargoyle whose entire body was crimson, rather than a typical stone statue. ¡®What is that?¡¯ It¡¯s not that Dio doesn¡¯t know about the Crimson Gargoyles. The reason Dio was surprised now was that a crimson gargoyle appeared among Luave¡¯s patterns. Because this pattern is something Dio has not experienced. The Crimson Gargoyles who shot down Evil Crow began to open their mouths one by one. And then, an unusual magical energy gathered around their mouths. Burbububbung! The magic rays fired by the Crimson Gargoyle were fired at the knights and paladins who were maintaining the front line. ¡°Kaaak!¡± ¡°They are coming from above!¡± Crimson Gargoyle is an artificial entity that can use magic on its own. Evelyn¡¯s Evil Crow must have also fallen victim to their black magic. -Keeeeeeek! Coming into the sky was something Dio had not expected. Therefore, the Ox side¡¯s defense was also unprepared for the magical beast that would attack from the air. ¡°Priests! Block the sky!¡± ¡°Gagging!¡± Numerous Crimson Gargoyles rushed in screaming, and Ox¡¯s troops who maintained the front line instantly entered into a melee. bang! Pubbung! The priests hurriedly spread their defensive walls towards the Crimson Gargoyles, but it was natural that the shield in front was weakened. The black magicians and the demonic beasts on the ground couldn¡¯t miss this opportunity. ¡°Kill them all!¡± -Scream! -Kaooo! A fierce battle broke out once again on the front lines of Oaks. The situation was worse than when the Chimera had once turned the battle line over. The Crimson Gargoyle floating in the sky was not only a nuisance, but since it was unexpected for Dio, it added to the confusion even more. ¡®Could it be that the Luave tactics I know are an improved version?¡¯ I was so obsessed with the fact that Luave¡¯s pattern was fixed. If you think about it a little more, the Luave that Dio knows is the Luave of the future. No matter how quickly you encounter Luave, considering the time it takes for players to reach high levels, it is too early. ¡®There aren¡¯t that many gargoyles. If Ox¡¯s troops had been slightly larger, the effect of the aerial attack would have been difficult to see.¡¯ Dio decided that the current pattern was a deteriorated version of the Luave pattern he knew. In other words, it was an unexpected situation, but fortunately it was not difficult to attack. ¡°Roberto! Evelyn! Stop them!¡± At Dio¡¯s shout, Evelyn put on her shoes and created a shadow platform in the air. Then, Roberto used the scaffolding to grab the gargoyle floating in the sky and climb on it. ¡°Ha!¡± Kwasik ¨C Roberto cracked the gargoyle¡¯s head and flew towards another gargoyle, breaking its wing. Afterwards, as Roberto continued to kill the gargoyles and attract the attention of the demon beasts, the battle line regained stability. ¡°We will take care of the gargoyles! Restore the lines!¡± Dio shouted as he picked up the spear that soldier Bertio had dropped and threw it at the Crimson Gargoyle. Sigh! Crrrrr ¨C The Crimson Gargoyle¡¯s body collapsed after being hit by Dio¡¯s spear. ¡®As expected, one javelin shot is enough. If you have enough spears, it won¡¯t take long.¡¯ Roberto¡¯s performance alone tied up nearly half of the Crimson Gargoyles. If Dio joins, the priests will be able to focus on the front again. Whirring ¨C bub bub buk! Dio also used the shadow platform created by Evelyn to cut down dozens of Crimson Gargoyles. The moment when he was trying to boost the morale of Ox¡¯s troops who were fighting hard next to him. I caught one of the Bertio knights looking restless and unable to concentrate on the beast in front of him. ¡®what? The movements of Bertio¡¯s knights¡­.¡¯ Thanks to Roberto¡¯s attention, the knights were sure to have some leeway. However, the knights showed no composure, and the restrained ranks they had seen for the first time were unstable. Dio, who felt strange about this, disposed of another Crimson Gargoyle and hurriedly looked around. The Holy Knights and Priests of the Luna Church are fighting hard against demonic beasts under the command of Conrad and Telzia. But it was not the Bertio knights and soldiers. Why? In terms of command ability alone, Bertio¡¯s senior knight Calco would be the best among them¡­ ¡°Lord Calco?¡± Dio then realized that Calco was no longer visible. Could it be that he was harmed by these guys? No, with Calco¡¯s skills, there¡¯s no way he could be defeated by the demonic beasts in front of him right now unless he¡¯s a chimera. Dio, who was quickly looking for Calco, discovered something else strange. Not only Calco but also Ates is not visible. ¡°¡­Running away in this situation? A knight?¡± Dio was so dumbfounded that he let out a laugh. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 98 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 98Episode 98 ¡°Lord Calco! ¡°What are you doing?¡± Ates struggled on Calco¡¯s shoulder. However, Artes was unable to shake off the power of Calco, the senior knight, and was even more weakened by the artifact that bound his hands. This handcuff artifact made of adamantium has the ability to suppress the power of the dictionary. Why is Ates wearing handcuffs made to transport powerful criminals?¡­ ¡°Lord Calco! This is an order! ¡°Go back now!¡± Naturally, Ates had no intention of running away from Ox. Ox has been turned into a battlefield due to the invasion of warlocks. Kalko initially judged that their invasion could be easily prevented if they joined forces with the Luna Church. In addition, the mercenary group that appeared to be at least A-level showed truly remarkable performance. Diamond seems more accustomed to fighting demonic beasts than the Luna Church. His identity was suspicious, but it had nothing to do with the decisive battle against the warlock that was approaching. Nevertheless, Calco forced Ates to escape. ¡®Luave¡­if it¡¯s really him¡­¡¯ Ever since he heard from Dio that the opponent was an 8th circle warlock, Kalko had been thinking that he would have to abandon Ox if he had to. Luave dell¡¯Achiel. I vaguely remember hearing it. An archmage-level warlock with a record of destroying cities several times. ¡®Even if support comes, there is no guarantee that it will be prevented. ¡®My choice is not wrong.¡¯ Kalko searched for escape routes he had seen before the battle began. Oaks was a remote area nestled in the mountains. Although the demonic beasts were surrounding them, I judged that if the warlocks were focused on the front, they could easily escape up the mountain in the meantime. I could have taken a few more people, but that was too noticeable. However, Artes alone would have been able to escape without difficulty. And we escaped successfully like this. ¡°Lord Calco!¡± ¡°sorry. young master.¡± Despite Ates¡¯ angry shouts, Calco silently moved forward while carrying Ates on his shoulders. There are many types of honor for a knight. As Ates said, protecting the weak can be seen as one of the honors of a knight. However¡­ ¡°If you cannot protect the blood relatives of the family you pledged allegiance to, that is the point of betraying your oath as a knight. Please understand.¡± ¡°How can there be honor in running away from the enemy? ¡°Aren¡¯t you embarrassed?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Despite Ates¡¯ continued shouting, Kalko walked silently. Running away from the enemy. That is clearly disgraceful for a knight. Calco also did not like this. Knights and soldiers fighting against enemies. The villagers are just hiding in fear. Also, villagers rise up with farming tools to protect their home. Even after abandoning all of this, Calco had a mission that must be completed. ¡®I must fulfill the matriarch¡¯s order to bring you safely.¡¯ Otherwise, Bertio must protect his master¡¯s flesh and blood. Even if it means sacrificing countless knights and people. Ates tried to persuade Calco, but it was not enough to break his sense of duty. Ox with flames rising and smoke rising. What is the crime of the children and villagers who were just living? Ates looked at Ox in the distance with confusion. * * * Creep- boom! Quack! Pubbung! Dio cut down or exploded demonic beasts in all directions in front of the front line blocked by Bertio¡¯s soldiers. There was no choice but to help Bertio¡¯s troops, who were out of command due to Calco¡¯s departure. It would not be desirable for knights and soldiers to be led by mercenaries. When Calco was there, there was no problem because there was a superior who relayed Dio¡¯s instructions, but not now. Dio thought it would be more effective to step forward rather than shouting instructions at them, and he is doing his best. Grumble! The forgotten swordsmanship [Island] swept away the demonic beasts surrounding Bertio¡¯s soldiers. ¡°Waaah! ¡°It¡¯s Dia!¡± ¡°S-Class! ¡°He¡¯s an S-class mercenary!¡± Bertio¡¯s soldiers cheer and shout. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If you show this through direct action, you can naturally gain command of your soldiers. Dio took advantage of this and hurriedly shouted. ¡°The wounded go back! ¡°Soldiers must not move alone!¡± ¡°All right!¡± Even though he was a mercenary, Dio¡¯s abilities were enough to believable even if he were an S-class mercenary, considering the level he showed in front of him. Everyone acknowledges that A to S rank mercenaries are stronger than most knights. Dio let the soldiers make their own illusions. That way, it will be easier for you to move your troops. ¡®Damn Calco guy.¡¯ It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t completely understand Calco¡¯s position in protecting Ates, but that doesn¡¯t mean his irresponsibility disappears. Calco eventually abandoned his men. This is something that deserves to be criticized, but Dio is just doing the best he can right now when he has time to criticize him. ¡®I have no choice but to use more strength.¡¯ Throw in! The spear thrown by Dio pierced the neck of a warlock who approached with an army of magic beasts. Whirring ¨C the massacre of demonic beasts continues. He crushed the beast¡¯s head with the mace and pierced its neck with a spear. Buung- Quagwagwang! And the large sword that can hit a wide range allowed Dio to defeat multiple enemies without using skills. [The level has risen.] [The level has risen.] ¡­. ¡®Is it a good thing that the experience is good?¡¯ Thanks to hunting the demon beasts from start to finish, Dio¡¯s level had risen considerably. Although the level of the demon beasts was not that high, there were many of them and since he had also caught the chimera, Dio was able to raise his level considerably. Dio, who confirmed that he had risen to a whopping 20 levels, distributed the stats he needed immediately even while fighting. ¡®The stats I need now¡­!¡¯ * * * ¡°Whew-¡± Dio, who was catching his breath in front of the numerous corpses of demonic beasts, threw the greatsword and polearm, with all of their teeth ground off, on the floor. Each one was a weapon that could be sold at a high price in a big city. ¡°you you! ¡°What on earth is it?¡± The warlock who was facing Dio was so frightened that he took a step back. It was something I couldn¡¯t believe. Even the many demonic beasts were no match for that unidentified mercenary. ¡°Why are you so curious about this guy who¡¯s going to die anyway?¡± Dio lifted the hatchet stuck on the floor and strode towards the warlock. ¡°Ugh¡­I will kill at least you!¡± The warlock, who was extremely exhausted due to Evelyn¡¯s trap and the priests of the Luna Church, squeezed out his remaining magical energy towards the approaching Dio. This guy was sure to get in the way of his master¡¯s work. The moment when magical energy gathers in the hands of a warlock who is determined to defeat him even if his mana is depleted. Fluid ¨C Sigh! ¡°Gagging!¡± An arrow flew from somewhere and pierced the warlock¡¯s head. ¡®What and who is it?¡¯ As Dio turned his head in the direction where the arrow was fired, a shout was heard from the soldiers. ¡°Waaaa!!¡± ¡°Reinforcements have arrived!!¡± In Dio¡¯s field of vision, he saw the knight who had shot the warlock while riding a horse and lowered his huge longbow. ¡®Is it Bertio¡¯s reinforcements?¡¯ Although Calco escaped, it was true that he had sent a dispatch to the dukedom. The new Vertio soldiers, with their lion-shaped feathers raised high, looked undisturbed even though they ran in a hurry. ¡°Exterminate everything!¡± ¡°Waaaa!!¡± Led by more than ten knights, Bertio¡¯s soldiers cut down the magic beasts and warlocks who were unable to penetrate Ox¡¯s defense line. ¡®Whoa, I can take a breather now. ¡®Let¡¯s take a break.¡¯ Since the reinforcements have arrived, it is as if the first wave has been successfully blocked. The experience gained from the remaining enemies is a waste, but it is a minor point. Right now, Dio¡¯s priority is to preserve his stamina in case Luave appears. ¡®But you came earlier than expected?¡¯ Dio felt a bit suspicious as he looked at Bertio¡¯s soldiers who had joined Ox. ¡®And there are fewer reinforcements than I thought. Is it possible that only the advance team members came first?¡¯ The number Dio estimated was roughly 15 knights and 50 soldiers. There is also a name called Bertio, and although this alone is a significant number, Dio thought it was less than he thought. ¡®If Bertio had heard that the other party was a warlock, he would have sent twice as much¡­¡¯ Unfortunately, Calco is not here to answer Dio¡¯s questions. Dio left the remnants to Bertio like himself and approached Konrad, who was checking his weapons. ¡°Conrad. ¡°It looks like the number of reinforcements is insufficient. Do you know anything?¡± ¡°That¡­¡± Dio sensed that something was wrong as he saw Conrad expressing disapproval at his words. * * * Conrad began to tell Dio everything he had heard, saying he had heard it from the wizard. Bertio received a reply saying that it would take one day to move the troops. Calco, who heard this, wanted quick reinforcements even if it meant reducing the size of his troops. ¡°So are additional reinforcements coming?¡± ¡°Well, since Lord Calco is urging us, if we want more reinforcements than this, we will probably have to wait much longer. But it¡¯s okay, right? ¡°Didn¡¯t we successfully defeat the warlocks just by ourselves?¡± Dio wiped his face at Conrad¡¯s words. ¡°It¡¯s not over yet. ¡°Even Luave hasn¡¯t shown up yet.¡± Things went wrong. The first wave was sufficiently prevented with just the original Ox troops. It will take a little more time for Luave¡¯s second wave to begin, and Dio was planning to supplement his troops with reinforcements from Bertio in the meantime¡­ but reinforcements that are only half the size of what Dio had thought were needed right now. It came at an unexpected time. They say they are not in a position to just be happy about the arrival of reinforcements. ¡°I see. ¡°But where is Lord Calko?¡± Conrad also asked, feeling the seriousness of the situation, and Dio simply shook his head and announced that he had disappeared along with Ates. ¡°I ran away. ¡°I¡¯m taking Bertio¡¯s second son with me.¡± ¡°what? no way. ¡°A man who can become a knight of Bertio?¡± Conrad looked in disbelief, but Dio understood Calco¡¯s actions even more. ¡®Kalko must have only hoped for quick reinforcements regardless of the numbers. That would be the safest way to safely rescue Ates.¡¯ Dio was lost in thought before Konrad, who was angry at Calco for his irresponsibility. What happened to Calco has already happened. Although there was no choice for the reinforcements, whose personnel had been cut in half, they were able to fill Calco¡¯s vacancy. Bertio¡¯s new knight leading the reinforcements. He would have at least the same senior knight rank as Calco. I had a strong feeling that since I was going to take Ates with me, I should eat this and leave. ¡°There is plenty of time left until the enemy attacks. Let¡¯s explain the situation to each commander and gather them in the barracks. We need a meeting.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± There was a need to share details about the upcoming airstrikes. Conrad, who agreed to this, immediately began to move, and Dio remembered the ¡®thing¡¯ that Luave was slowly preparing. This is Luave¡¯s ¡®final weapon¡¯ that will inevitably appear in the second wave. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 99 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 99Episode 99 ¡°The demonic beasts retreat!¡± ¡°Thanks to you, Diamond.¡± ¡°I won!¡± The shouts of soldiers enjoying victory echoed throughout the Ox. Ox, which safely passed the first wave, reached a moment of lull. Due to the preceding battle, the loss of troops on the Ox side was not that serious. Although some of Bertio¡¯s soldiers lost their lives, there were no deaths among the main forces, the knights and paladins. Dio informed Bertio¡¯s new senior knight, Andrew, who had led the reinforcements, of the current situation and assumed general command. Andrew did not see much of Dio¡¯s activities, but other knights and the Luna Church proved his skills, and he handed over command without complaint. Moreover, Telzia, who firmly believed that Dio was a moonwalker, also had no major complaints about him leading the Luna Church. On the contrary, I felt comfortable because they subtly took my side. Thanks to this, we were able to successfully complete the meeting to guard against Luave¡¯s future plans. Of course, even if we prepare, I don¡¯t think we can easily stop the existence of Luabra, but¡­ ¡®Is there about 4 hours left now?¡¯ Dio was still looking at the gloomy night sky where Luave¡¯s [lunar eclipse] unfolded and calculated the time. Dio¡¯s goal is to somehow block the second wave with his current troops. ¡°What about you guys?¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Dio approached Roberto and Evelyn who were resting and checked their condition. He was just a little tired from the continuous battle and didn¡¯t seem to have any major injuries. ¡°But I think I¡¯ll run out of mana¡­¡± No matter how much you control it, there is a limit to the number of opponents. The Shadow Sinkhole used by warlocks caused enormous mana consumption, but it would have definitely been more difficult if it had not been used. ¡°Let me know if you need more.¡± ¡°oh! thank you!¡± Dio handed over the extra potions from his inventory to Evelyn. ¡°Roberto. how about you? I need?¡± ¡°I am okay. ¡°I recovered sufficiently with blood magic in between.¡± Blood magic, which mainly involves using or absorbing the blood of enemies, was effective in long-term battles. In fact, even players who have learned blood magic have a low proportion of potions. As for the damage tank method, you might think it¡¯s a piece of shit, but in actual combat, it was very effective. ¡®Except for the ones with good performance, there are a lot of common potions. There is no need to save here.¡¯ Dio identified the type and number of potions remaining in the inventory. It would be most efficient for you and your companions to consume this, but that doesn¡¯t mean you don¡¯t need the help of the knights and paladins protecting Oaks. Dio took all kinds of potions every time he stopped by the warehouse, so there was still some left in stock. If they are competing with quantity, we can also respond with quantity. ¡°Eveline!¡± Evelyn raised her head because someone called her name. Except for the companions, there are only a limited number of people who can call him by his real name instead of his pseudonym Clover. ¡°Charles? Janssen? To Aberdeen?¡± They are none other than Evelyn¡¯s hometown friends. ¡°Why am I looking for you?¡± ¡°Why are you looking for me? ¡°I was worried you might get hurt!¡± Evelyn chuckled at Charles¡¯ worried words. The trio bullied him, but that was his behavior when he was young. Evelyn could feel in their hearts that they were truly worried about her from their expressions, so she straightened her back. ¡°This body is a great magician, so there is no way it can be defeated by such magical beasts! ¡°You guys, stay calm and stay in the shelter.¡± ¡°From what I heard, your performance was amazing?¡± ¡°This is our hometown.¡± ¡°We can fight too!¡± As if these weren¡¯t just empty words, Charles shouted, holding up the farming tools he had brought from the house. But Evelyn answered coldly. ¡°¡­I don¡¯t need your help.¡± They may be young people working hard in the village, but their opponents are warlocks and legions of magic beasts. In front of them, whether you are a young person or a child, you are just a mouthful away. That¡¯s why Evelyn gives a harsh look to her friends who escaped from the shelter. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that? ¡°Go quickly!¡± ¡°What is the condition of the villagers?¡± ¡°huh? Ah, Diamond!¡± Dio opened his mouth, stopping Evelyn from sending her friends away. Dio stopped Evelyn from sending her friends away and asked Charles. ¡°Everyone is anxious. ¡°This is our first time experiencing something like this.¡± Dio nodded at Charles¡¯ dark answer. In fact, the current crisis was like a disaster for Ox Village, which had never experienced a normal monster wave because of Calliope. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t say this, but has our guardian spirit abandoned us?¡± As Charles complained, Dio thought of Calliope and shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m just grateful you said that. Is there anything I can do to help? ¡°There are no good memories¡­ Evelyn is also protecting her hometown, and we cannot remain silent.¡± Dio thought about Charles¡¯ words for a moment and then took out the extra potions he had calculated earlier from his inventory. ¡°Would you like to deliver these to the priests of the Luna Church? And if you have some strength, please help us repair the stockade. ¡°There will already be a shortage of workers.¡± ¡°Oh no! ¡°This precious thing!¡± Charles, who received the potion, could not hide his surprise at Dio¡¯s use. In this world, the value of potions is considerable. Even if it is a low-level potion that is very ineffective. ¡°All right. ¡°We will do our best to help.¡± ¡°yes. And when the battle starts, go straight to the shelter. ¡°Because combat is for experts.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Charles and his friends thanked Dio and hurried to the priests tending to the wounded. ¡°Can I give the potion to Luna?¡± ¡°Well, we have a common enemy now, so there¡¯s nothing we can do. And they are also protecting Ox.¡± Dio just shrugged his shoulders in response to Evelyn¡¯s scolding. Anyway, they just have to endure the second wave together. ¡°You are also reorganizing. ¡°It will start now.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Dio left Evelyn and Roberto alone and began looking around the inside of the Ox. The knights and soldiers who encountered Dio expressed their gratitude for distributing the potion, as if Charles had successfully completed his assigned mission. In addition, you can also see people from Oaks helping the soldiers. A person who gives food to hungry soldiers. People who collect damaged weapons and repair them using oiled cloth and whetstones. Even people carrying stones and sandbags here and there. We can see the people of Oaks doing their best to protect their hometown in various ways. ¡®I hope their help is meaningful.¡¯ Dio moved back to the village square, leaving the shelter filled with only sobbing children and a few mostly elderly adults looking after them. ¡°Are you here?¡± ¡°yes. What about maintenance?¡± ¡°If we just repair the most damaged side of the camp, it will be over.¡± ¡°In that case, it would be better to send the villagers to the shelter now.¡± ¡°Right.¡± Dio nodded as he watched the soldiers, who had finished resting and repairing the stockade, find their seats and form a line again. The time has come. ¡®I¡¯m not confident that I know Luave¡¯s pattern exactly at the time the Crimson Gargoyle appeared.¡¯ Dio looked at Telzia and Andrew, who were waiting for his command. ¡®But the difficulty level is definitely below.¡¯ The magical beast that Dio knew would mark the end of the first wave was nowhere to be seen. Because of this, Luave¡¯s strategy has changed slightly, but he assured that the pattern difficulty has become much lower. ¡®We need to assume variables and deploy troops.¡¯ Dio conveyed his thoughts straight away, and Telzia and Andrew immediately implemented them. Not long after the new deployment of troops. Kugung ¨C Kugung ¨C A huge vibration that breaks the lull that was hoped to last forever. Accordingly, Ox¡¯s troops and people moved quickly. Even if Dio doesn¡¯t shout, they know. Now the second wave is about to begin. ¡®It was harder than I thought. You just have to hold on for a little while.¡¯ * * * A gorgeous barracks located in the darkness created by a lunar eclipse. Inside, there was a chessboard in the center, and there was only one warlock who moved the pieces here and there. ¡°That¡¯s strange.¡± Luave dell¡¯Achiel. He just muttered to himself and looked at the chessboard. He did not specifically set up an outpost to attack Ox. All he did was order his subordinates to build a barracks for him to be comfortable in. This is because I didn¡¯t think it would take a long time to attack Ox anyway. But his judgment was wrong. Ox¡¯s defenses, which clearly did not have any significant number of troops, were strong, and his vaunted magic beast army had a very difficult time breaking through them. ¡°Is there someone stronger than I thought in the East?¡± The chessboard in front of Luave was no ordinary object. For him, who enjoys using legions of demonic beasts, the chessboard was like a strategy map. Additionally, the objects present here represented the enemies and allies confronting each other within the lunar eclipse. So, even if Luave does not move the piece directly, it moves on its own. Luaves simply create chess pieces, but they fight the battles themselves. The black camp is Ox. The white camp is Luave. While some of the black pieces on the chessboard disappeared, most of the white pieces were smashed. This was a result that could be seen as a complete defeat of Luave¡¯s army of demonic beasts. ¡°Hmm¡­ they say there are no useful people, but they can¡¯t solve even one village. Tsk.¡± Luave expressed his disappointment at the warlocks under his command who went to battle on his behalf. To him, the warlocks under his command were nothing more than chess pieces. ¡°You stopped my legion¡­¡± Luave already knew the level of Ox¡¯s forces. Knights of a foolish duchy that calls themselves the king of the East. Paladins and priests who are merely slaves of the moon. If the number of them had been much greater, Luave would not have insisted on sticking to his standard strategy. However, their number was very small compared to his own magic beast army. No matter how great a strategist there may be, it is impossible for them to win against an army of demonic beasts.

I¡¯m becoming more curious about your identity.¡¯ In that case, we have no choice but to think that the variable that has occurred now is only because of the mercenary who killed Viktor. ¡°Is it ultimately going to force us to use moves?¡± Luave, who was muttering to himself, slowly stood up. Besides the nickname Legion, there is one more nickname given to Luave. That is the lazy luave. Luave doesn¡¯t always come to the forefront when moving. It is unclear whether he is not moving because he can control the demonic beasts, or whether he is just using the demonic beasts because he is too lazy to step forward. There is only one case where Luave overcomes laziness and moves. That¡¯s when you become interested in the enemies you¡¯re dealing with. That¡¯s all. Luave walked forward slowly, holding a cane that looked like a vertebrae. -Bang tapuk. Bang bang. The clear sound of the cane touching the floor rang out as Luave walked out of the barracks. The warlock guarding Luave¡¯s barracks quickly bowed, but Luave just passed by and closed his eyes, looking at the pitch-black sky. ¡®I guess it¡¯s time for the cycle of devastated fate to end.¡¯ At first, the sacrifice that Victor had made was a waste, so he planned to just take it. But it¡¯s different now. All forces are involved in that sacrifice. Luna Church. Duke Bertio. And¡­ among the broken white pieces on the chessboard left in the barracks, the ¡®King¡¯ and ¡®Queen¡¯ did not move at all. The queen, trying to protect the lazy king, began to move slowly. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 100 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 100Episode 100 ¡°Warlock ahead!¡± ¡°Sniper the warlock who commands the demonic beast!¡± The Battle of Ox begins again. As if the warlocks deployed in the first wave were not all, there were also a few warlocks directly commanding the magic beast army. However, compared to the army of demonic beasts that came in the first wave, their number did not seem that large. However, it was not less than Ox¡¯s troops. Suddenly ¨C Dio, who was located in the front, cut off the arms and waist of ¡®Contaminated Mentis¡¯ in one go with his great sword. ¡°Ten steps forward!¡± As Dio shouted, Ox¡¯s troops, who had formed a well-established formation, slowly moved forward. A strategy that is contrary to the first wave, which did not go beyond the front lines. The reason was the number of legions. The number of the first wave was such that the plain could not be seen. However, the second wave that is currently being blocked is made up of demonic beasts that are stronger than the demonic beasts from the first wave, but the number is far lower. So Dio came to the front of the battle line that was centered around knights and paladins and attracted the attention of the demon beasts. This is because if there is an army of demonic beasts of the size of the second wave, the battle can be advantageous just by a small number of people raiding the battlefield. ¡°Kaaak!¡± ¡°Damn it, get up, wounded soldier! Priests! Priests!!¡± ¡°Die, slaves of the moon!¡± ¡°It¡¯s black magic! damage!!¡± Although it was a formation that responded to Luave¡¯s pattern, it could not completely block the wave. Dio has divided his troops on the outskirts of the village in consideration of the Crimson Gargoyles. Because of this, several soldiers began to be attacked by warlocks who took advantage of loopholes in the front line. ¡°clover! spade! ¡°Support the broken ranks!¡± Dio, who would not sit still and watch this, shouted as he smashed the head of the bear-shaped monster ¡®Ghoul Bear¡¯ with his mace. Eveline and Roberto reacted immediately. Tsusssssut ¨C Evelyn¡¯s shadow grabbed the arm of the warlock who was about to cast a spell on the soldier. ¡°this!¡± The warlock quickly prepared a dispel to break the spell that bound him. However, the warlock was unable to react to Roberto¡¯s approaching fist, perhaps because he was paying attention to Evelyn¡¯s shadow. Crack! ¡°Gagging!¡± The warlock, who was obviously vulnerable to the approach, was unable to withstand the power of the sun coming from Roberto¡¯s fist and vomited out blood. A shock that wouldn¡¯t be surprising if all bones in the body were broken. Huuuuuk ¨C To ensure a clear ending, Roberto grabbed the warlock¡¯s neck and immediately used blood magic. The warlock¡¯s blood is instantly absorbed by Roberto. Roberto, who repeatedly attacked and recovered stamina in this way, was nothing short of a disaster to the warlocks. ¡°Let¡¯s catch that guy too! ¡°I will pave the way!¡± Evelyn sucked in the surrounding demonic beasts into the shadow swamp and pointed to the next target. Thanks to eliminating the magical beasts that blocked his path, Roberto was able to easily capture the next warlock. ¡°Oh no!¡± The warlock hurriedly put up a shield, but Evelyn and Roberto were not the only ones he was dealing with. Kang! A knight who had eliminated all the magical beasts guarding the warlock swung his sword at him. Jeok- The knight¡¯s attack containing mana weakened the warlock¡¯s shield, and he was unable to block Roberto¡¯s fist that rushed forward. Quang! ¡°Waaah!¡± ¡°We caught the warlocks!¡± The soldiers cheered as Roberto blew away the warlock, including his shield. ¡®good. ¡®No problem.¡¯ Evelyn and Roberto had also raised their levels significantly through the first wave. In addition, the knights, paladins, and other soldiers may have learned the know-how to deal with demonic beasts, but they fought more skillfully than the first time. Although it cannot be confirmed through the system, they have probably gained a lot of experience and their level has risen. ¡®Should I try to increase my skill proficiency at this time?¡¯ Thanks to the group members who were twice as active as the others, Dio was able to relax and focus his mind. Dio has recently become very accustomed to using forgotten sword techniques. However, Dio, who learned how to feel the power of the sun from Schuwald, learned not only how to use skills but also how to actively use them depending on the situation. Tsupat ¨C Dio put the great sword he was using on the ground and quickly pulled out the silver arming sword from his waist and performed a horizontal slash. Then, Dio¡¯s solar power was shot out at the demon beasts in the form of the letter Ò». Bubble bubbling! ¡®It¡¯s like the auror of the knights.¡¯ Dio, who was thinking about ways to apply forgotten sword techniques, stopped in his tracks for a moment. ¡°Kwaaaaaaah!¡± A blackhead ogre appears through the smoke of the explosion and strikes Dio with a huge axe. ¡®If we gather our strength in one place¡­ like this.¡¯ Dio put the Silver Arming Sword back on his belt and extended it towards the ogre¡¯s axe, which was struck by the spear attached to his back. Empty! Quang! The concentrated power of the sun shot out from the spear instantly shattered the ax and carved a huge hole in the ogre¡¯s body. ¡®And if you want a wider blow than the usual [Island]¡­¡¯ Percussion! Dio grabbed the handle of the great sword he had first put in the ground as if snatching it away. -Big! -Keruk! Dio, who had eliminated most of the demon beasts in front of him with his previous attack, swung his great sword sharply at the demon beast army preparing for the next attack from afar. Then, the forgotten sword technique [Island] moves forward in a fan-shaped shape. Quaaaaa! Like a wave, a dazzling flash of light from the [Island] engulfed the demon beast army. ¡®I don¡¯t mind going a little deeper.¡¯ Dio jumped over the hole-filled corpse of the ogre and ran toward the remaining demonic beasts. Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak! Every time Dio swung his weapon, the corpses of the demon beasts were torn apart. In addition, the flames rising from the explosion engulfed the demonic beasts. Although the frequency of skill use was high compared to the first wave, it was not enough to be a problem for Dio. Because I invested the bonus points I received twice through leveling up into mana, I felt more relaxed than during the first wave. Rumbling! Dio, who was frantically slaughtering demonic beasts, raised his head at the loud vibration of the ground. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°calm down! That¡¯s the signal! ¡°Call Dia!¡± ¡°Priests! Priests!!¡± The soldiers also seemed to have noticed that it was no ordinary vibration and quickly called the priest and Dio. A phenomenon that signals the end of the second wave. This was information that Dio had already conveyed to each commander, and operations based on this were all prepared. * * * A huge whirlpool appeared in the middle of the battlefield , as if a natural disaster had suddenly struck. For some reason, the whirlpool did not hit Ox, which was holding on firmly. Rather, it began to suck in the surrounding demonic beasts. -Big! -Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The demon beasts struggled to avoid being swept away by the whirlpool, but no demon beast could withstand the powerful wind. It¡¯s not just living demonic beasts. The corpses of the demonic beasts that had piled up since the first wave were also absorbed into the vortex. Pop! Kkkdeudeuk! Even huge ogres and trolls were sucked into the whirlpool, making a terrible noise as their limbs were crushed. It looked as if the archmage had used deadly magic to defeat the demon beasts, but that was not the case. It is true that the Archmage used it, but this was the power of the warlock Luave, not Ox¡¯s side. Kwagwagwagwa! ¡°All troops except priests, step back!¡± ¡°Going as planned!¡± Whirlpool is not a magic for attack. A summoning ritual that creates Luave¡¯s final weapon. The material was the corpses of the demon beasts, and for this purpose, even the remaining demon beasts had to take their lives. ¡°Start the purification!¡± ¡°Pour out all your divine power!¡± This is why this camp took the form of moving forward. To advance the priests into the vortex that will appear. And the priests were conserving their sacred power as much as possible, following Dio¡¯s instructions. Paaaaat! It was a low-level sacred magic [Purification]. As the priests began [Purification], a dazzling light shot towards the vortex. Purification, filled with divine power, helps weaken the magical beast that is about to be born. It would have been best to completely block this summoning ritual, but Dio and Ox¡¯s forces were not capable of stopping Luave¡¯s magic. In that case, there is no choice but to solve it with [Purification], which can be seen as a method known as Luave¡¯s standard strategy. Paaaaaa! Dozens of priests began pouring out all the divine power they had accumulated. ¡°Aim for the corpse being sucked in!¡± Because it was dangerous to be too close to the whirlpool, the priests hastily burned the bodies of the demon beasts that the whirlpool absorbed. ¡°Glory be in the brilliant moonlight! [Moonlight Cross]!¡± Paaaaat! The shining cross created by Telzia emits light toward the vortex and the corpse of the demon beast. Even if it is not purification magic, sacred magic has anti-magic power, so it has a purification ability of its own, albeit slightly. Therefore, the higher the level of sacred magic, the stronger the purification ability can be, so Telzia used the strongest sacred magic she could use. As all the priests began to concentrate and purify under Telzia¡¯s command, the momentum of the whirlpool slightly decreased for a moment. Kwagwagwagwagwagwa! Let¡¯s go! ¡°Ugh! ¡°Step back!¡± ¡°I¡¯m caught up!¡± As terrible demonic energy and sparks spewed out from the whirlpool, the priests who were in the midst of the purification work lowered their hands. ¡°Is this the best we can do?¡­¡± Pajijijijik! Pajik! When sparks begin to fly like lightning in a storm, it means that the summoning ritual is coming to an end.

Coo coo coo coo! Luave¡¯s final weapon slowly appears before the fully prepared Ox Allied Forces. Grumpy- thump! The feet of the guy who appeared in the fierce storm shook the earth. Gooooooo ¨C The storm disappears and a strong gust of wind begins to blow. Coo! A gigantic monster that reveals its complete form with a massive body. Commonly known as Abomination. The sight of all kinds of magical beasts clinging to a huge body and a height of at least 10 meters was literally the epitome of grotesqueness. It¡¯s even weakened to that extent due to all the purification. Originally, it was a monster-like creature that was close to 15 meters tall. ¡°Luna oh my god!¡± ¡°¡­Is it true that he has become weak?¡± It may be the same concept as chimera, but it is slightly different. A chimera is a monster created by mixing living creatures or applying a curse. However, what Luave was creating now was closer to the undead. ¡°Even though he has become weaker, he is still too much for us to handle. ¡°Move like I first said!¡± When Dio raised his arm and sent a signal, the knights and paladins who had been shocked by the Abomination¡¯s terrible appearance came to their senses again. Abomination is a monster created by mixing the bodies of several demonic beasts, so it has infinite stamina and tremendous destructive power. However, slow speed, a common weakness of giant monsters, also applies to Abomination. If you use this to continue the guerrilla battle, you can save time even if you cannot defeat the Abomination. During that time, Dio will accumulate damage by exploiting the Abomination¡¯s loopholes, and if the fight continues, he can even defeat the Abomination with infinite stamina. Of course, the key here is to ¡®take time¡¯. If you catch it too quickly, the second wave will end and the main body of ¡®Luave Delaciel¡¯ will soon appear. If we take our time until Calliope and Sepia are ready, the situation will end. ¡®Okay¡­ Then, with the knights first!¡¯ Just as Dio was trying to attract Abomination¡¯s attention with the knights. Whoop ¨C darkness came in an instant. ¡°What?¡± At this, Dio blinked his eyes rapidly. But still nothing is visible. Did the Abomination even use magic? No, that can¡¯t be possible. He is a corpse with only physical abilities. Besides, a wizard like Calliope who would use this type of blackmail¡­ ¡°I was wondering why things were going like this, and it was because of you.¡± Luave¡¯s voice came from the darkness where nothing could be seen. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 101 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 101Episode 101: The sudden arrival of pitch darkness. However, Dio was more confused by the fact that the pattern he knew had collapsed rather than the fact that his vision was completely blocked. ¡®Why on earth? ¡®What attracted Luave?¡¯ Dio sensed that he had been struck by Luave¡¯s magic, but unlike usual, he could not think of an immediate solution. Probably because I was extremely embarrassed. I know I need to come to my senses, but it¡¯s easier said than done. Things don¡¯t always go as planned, but the situation is a little different now. This time, his life is in the hands of an overwhelming enemy called Luabra. Dio, trapped in the dark, panics and doesn¡¯t know what to do. Boom ¨C A secret sound was heard, as if the tent was being cut with scissors. ¡®Huh!?¡¯ Although it was still dark, Dio could feel the wind on his skin. That there was an exit in this darkness. ¡°D.I.O! ¡°This way!¡± Dio stretched out his hand, following Evelyn¡¯s voice calling him. Dio felt a rough hand holding his hand. Roberto. It was clear that his hands had been trained with a fist. ¡°Huh!¡± Dio, who couldn¡¯t see but was pulled out of the darkness by Roberto¡¯s power, took a deep breath. It was only now that I realized that the air in the space I was just trapped in was cut off. ¡°Heo-eok, heo-eok.¡± Dio exhaled harshly and looked at his comrades who had saved him. Then I looked back and saw a very deep hole in the air. ¡®[Imaginary space]¡­You trapped me there without me even noticing.¡¯ Dio recognized Luave¡¯s skill at once and swallowed his saliva. This time I really almost died. Roberto and Eveline are witches who deal with vampires and shadow magic. If it weren¡¯t for their good night vision, they would have died in imaginary space. ¡°We¡¯re up!¡± ¡°There is an enemy above too!¡± The surrounding area was not as dark as the imaginary space where Dio was trapped, but there was considerable darkness. Previously, due to the lunar eclipse, the surroundings were illuminated with torches and glowstones, but now only the area in front of the nose was visible. At this, the priest and wizard shouted and hurriedly turned on the light. As dozens of luminous magic turned on, Dio squinted, perhaps because of the vision lost in the brief imaginary space. ¡®I thought things were going well, but then Phase 3 starts at the same time?¡¯ Dio moved his gaze toward the direction a soldier was pointing to. Only then did a warlock floating in the sky come in. ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± A low-pitched voice that is neither loud nor soft. However, the voice contained a heaviness like the roar of a tiger. At this, not only the soldiers, but even the knights and paladins who had maintained a strong spirit in the face of the Abomination trembled. Luave Delaciel opens his mouth again. ¡°Where is the sacrifice?¡± * * * Bang, bang, no one could move even as Luave, who was floating in the air, came down and walked slowly. Is it because there is an Abomination right in front of us waiting for its creator¡¯s orders? no. The people in the hall are simply overwhelmed by the energy radiated by one person, Luave. ¡°You¡¯re much younger than I thought.¡± Luave, who was just watching Evelyn and Roberto pull Dio out of imaginary space, tilted his head. As if he was puzzled by the sight of someone who had stopped his own army of demonic beasts struggling in an imaginary space. ¡°There are many things I would like to discuss with you.¡± Luave, who had reached the front of Dio, opened his mouth while looking only at Dio, ignoring the gaze of those around him. Everyone was holding their breath at that soft bass sound. Knights who protect the territory and protect the people of the territory. Paladins and priests who will be fighting against warlocks. Even though a villain who was undoubtedly causing harm to the continent appeared in front of them, they could not move easily. Roberto and Eveline also instinctively knew. I felt more threatened by the old man holding a cane than by that vicious monster. ¡®What should I do?¡¯ Dio swallowed his saliva as he looked at Luave who had arrived in front of him. It was the same as allowing a preemptive attack from the point of being hit by Luave¡¯s imaginary space. ¡®With the abilities I have now, I am no match for him.¡¯ There was no way the weapons that slaughtered the demonic beast army would work on Luave. In addition, the priests who worked hard to weaken the Abomination, as well as the troops who wasted their stamina in the ongoing battle. Even in its perfect state, it wouldn¡¯t be a match for Luave, so in its current state, it¡¯s ridiculous. ¡®damn.¡¯ Dio realized his mistake for thinking too easily even though his opponent was Luave. Maybe he was relieved that Calliope was by his side. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. That¡¯s why I wasn¡¯t too worried about ¡®survival¡¯, which was Dio¡¯s top priority. In the end, absolute faith must come only from yourself. ¡®I should have abandoned Ox.¡¯ Even if you go back a little, you can grow slowly. Obsessed with Calliope¡¯s quest and rapid growth, he failed to take into account the huge threat called Luabra. ¡®It¡¯s impossible to beat him. So should I run away? But how?¡¯ Dio gave up his thoughts on winning against Luave early on. But what if you¡¯re running away rather than winning? ¡®now!¡¯ Any further thoughts were meaningless, and Dio¡¯s best bet was to act before his opponent attacked. Currently, Luave is within Dio¡¯s attack range. Dio pushed forward, pushing Evelyn and Roberto who were guarding his side. Pop! The sharp edge of the Silver Arming Sword turns towards Luave. Quirky ¨C But Dio¡¯s black Luave blocked it by simply raising his arm slightly. No, not only did he block it, but Dio¡¯s sword that touched Luave¡¯s arm slipped off its path. ¡®You have to approach it. The further away you are, the more disadvantageous you are.¡¯ Dio didn¡¯t mind the attacks and kicked the ground to get inside Luave. Like when I fought Viktor. If you take advantage of the magician¡¯s characteristics of being vulnerable to access! Kkulung- Paang! In an instant, a black wave rose. The black wave pushed Dio away, and Dio¡¯s body could not withstand the impact. ¡°Tsk!¡± Luave¡¯s ¡®Flare¡¯ is on a different level from Victor. As if the terrible magic energy emanating from his entire body wasn¡¯t enough to send Dio flying far away, it also engulfed the Bertio soldiers around him. ¡°Kwaaaaaak!¡± ¡°help me!¡± Flare is a magic defense method to ward off opponents. However, depending on the caster¡¯s magic level, it can be an attack magic that can devastate the surrounding area. Kwagwagwagwa! ¡°It¡¯s black magic! Avoid!¡± ¡°Sea Shield!¡± Clink! Wood, crack, crack! The black smoke emitted by Luave crushed the entire bodies of the soldiers and instantly shattered the shields the priests had spread. Craddangtang! ¡°Aaaah!¡± ¡°Hold me!¡± Evelyn and Roberto, who were next to Dio, were also unable to withstand the shock and flew off somewhere. When Dio, who had rolled on the floor several times, took his stance again, he was the only one left within a 5m radius of Luave. Dio took a quick gulp of the potion, but perhaps because he hit his head hard on the floor, he couldn¡¯t easily maintain his balance. Luave approached the staggering Dio again and his mouth opened. ¡°There are many things I want to know from you. ¡°But where is the sacrifice?¡± Dio noticed. That the other person is intentionally keeping him alive. And the sacrifice he is aiming for is ¡®sepia¡¯. At that moment, Dio¡¯s head quickly rotated. An opponent you can never defeat. But there is always a way. Even if you don¡¯t win. A way to survive. ¡°Sacrifice? what is that?¡± Dio pretended not to notice Luave¡¯s question and took his time. Then I focused all my attention and looked at Luave. What thoughts does Luave have now and how long will he continue the conversation to get what he wants? All of these will become weapons that Dio can use. * * * ¡°I think you know that it¡¯s not a problem that can be ignored just because you don¡¯t know.¡± Luave looked infinitely relaxed. But he was never merciful. The moment Luave lifted up his bony forearm with prominent tendons, Dio¡¯s gravity changed. Quang! Dio was unable to withstand the gravity that was weighing him down and fell to the ground. Kwazizig! Controlling gravity is not a task for Luave. ¡°Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu out out out out out out off out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out over out over out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out up out up out up out there out there up over up out out out out over up out out over up over over w down out out over over over out over out over over over over over out over over over out his over the back]]]¡± Dio¡¯s body becomes even heavier and the floor begins to collapse. ¡°Ask me again.¡± ¡°Huh-¡± When Luave clenched his fist, the gravity that had been weighing down Dio returned. ¡°Where is the offering?¡± ¡°¡­It¡¯s not here.¡± ¡°hmm.¡± Luave seemed to be displeased with Dio¡¯s answer, so he raised his head and looked around. What he is seeing is the Allied Forces formed in Oaks. They didn¡¯t even dare to attack Luave¡¯s overwhelming inaction. I just watch Dio confronting Luave. ¡°It would be better for you if there were no onlookers, right?¡± ¡°for a moment!¡± Dio hurriedly stopped Luav as he raised his hand towards Bertio and the Luna Church. He knows what he¡¯s talking about. He is saying that he will kill everyone, leaving behind those who are necessary for conversation. ¡°The sacrifice you are looking for is¡­.¡± Luave doesn¡¯t have much patience. Dio gave out the answer he wanted to get his attention again. ¡°It¡¯s down here.¡± Luave tilted his head, looking at the floor where Dio pointed with his finger. ¡°It¡¯s under the ground? ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Soon, Luave nodded as if he understood Dio¡¯s words and withdrew his hand that was pointing towards the knights and paladins. ¡°I wish I told you exactly. ¡°Is it right below where you are?¡± Luave approached Dio, who was lying on the floor, and asked for more accurate information. ¡°I don¡¯t know exactly about that.¡± ¡°Oh, I don¡¯t know¡­¡± ¡°No, listen to me until the end.¡± Dio shouted at Luave¡¯s snort. It is true that we do not know exactly. However, Dio knew that the truth alone could not stop Luave¡¯s slaughter. If so, the way is¡­ ¡°Couldn¡¯t you lift the ground around here? ¡°You just have to look for that¡­ah.¡± Dio grins. ¡°Is that kind of magic too much?¡± ¡°hot!¡± Is this a provocation? Or is he just babbling because he¡¯s really in a hurry? Or is he gambling because he knows it won¡¯t kill him? For whatever reason, Luave couldn¡¯t stop himself from bursting out laughing. Perfect! When Luave¡¯s fingers snapped, Soldier Bertio¡¯s neck popped! And it exploded. ¡°Hey!¡± ¡°Kill the Lord! Attack the warlock!¡± ¡°But¡­if we move, that monster might attack!¡± Even though more and more soldiers were dying due to Luave, the Ox Alliance was unable to respond in any way. From the beginning, I was aware that confronting Luave head-on was suicidal. Above all, I was concerned about Abomination, which had not yet taken any action. ¡°Is it too much? ¡°This Luave Delaciel?¡± Luave, who was not at all concerned about the confusion of the Allied Forces, bent down and laughed at Dio, who was lying on the floor. ¡°good night. ¡°Please respond to that provocation.¡± Luave stretched out his hand to Abomination, who was standing still. ¡°Was it your plan to weaken my minions? But¡­I¡¯ll show you. ¡°What a futile thing you have done.¡± Woe! Mana drain. Mana drain. A specialty of warlocks who recover their own power by draining the target¡¯s mana. Luave was absorbing the power of the Abomination, which possessed enormous magical power. Dio¡¯s heart pounded violently at that sight. ¡®little bit more.¡¯ Before we knew it, the Abomination¡¯s size had shrunk to about half, and Luave stopped draining as if that was enough. Afterwards, he starts waving his hands in the air. What a seven-pointed magic circle. This was clearly the preparation stage for [Deathquake], a level 7 black magic. Deathquake, the highest level of earthquake magic, has the power to literally transform the earth into a land of death. However, Luave¡¯s current version of Deathquake has restrained its destructive abilities. What he is aiming for is the sacrificial sepia. Luave believes that Sepia is under the ground and uses Deathquake. In that case, it is likely that only the earth will be pulled up in order to take the sacrifice in its entirety. Coo coo coo coo coo! The shaking of the earth that occurred when the demonic beast army moved and when the Abomination appeared. But at that time, it was literally just a vibration. But not now. Dio knew that a natural disaster would soon strike that would not just shake the earth but distort it to the extreme. Luave accepted Dio¡¯s provocation and was truly trying to turn the earth upside down. This is exactly what Dio wants. The time it takes for [Death Quake] to activate is 8 seconds. ¡®Not yet.¡¯ Dio, who was slowly counting until Luave¡¯s action, began to beat regularly. As if the hands of a clock were moving. Quad dud deud deuk! ¡®5 seconds. now!¡¯ The moment when a crack appears in the ground and causes upheaval. Dio jumped up from his seat and swung the dagger that was hanging on his leg at Luave. ¡°Everyone! Attack the corpse guy!¡± Dio¡¯s voice, which seemed like he was about to die at any moment, rang in everyone¡¯s ears. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 102 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 102Episode 102: A wizard going into battle has more vulnerabilities than you think. It is disadvantageous in close combat, and it takes a long time to prepare for using large magic. However, this is not a common phrase for Luave, an 8th circle warlock. visor! The invisible curtain protecting Luave easily blocked Dio¡¯s Silver Arming Sword. However, this is what Dio expected. His goal wasn¡¯t Luave in the first place. ¡°He¡¯s getting weaker!¡± ¡°Attack immediately!¡± Conrad understood Dio¡¯s intentions and jumped towards the Abomination, and the Ox Allied Forces soon followed suit. They know it too. This means that you can¡¯t just sit back and watch. Accordingly, he trusted Dio, who was holding Luave, and did not hesitate to attack the Abomination. Because they also know that Abomination is weakened. -Coooooooo! As a result, the Abomination, which had been standing still, also began to move, and Luave¡¯s calm expression frowned. 8 seconds of time Luav must concentrate to use Deathquake. There will be no damage to Luave during this 8 second period. He must have surrounded himself with all kinds of spells and magic circles. However, if you think about it the other way around, you can interrupt Luave without considering his counterattack until he uses magic. Dio¡¯s goal is not Luave, but Abomination. Abomination was already weakened by Priest¡¯s purification and had even suffered mana drain from Luave. The current Abomination could be easily dealt with by the Ox Allied Forces. 8 seconds to prepare for Deathquake. With only 3 seconds left until the magic is completed, Luave¡¯s concentration reaches its peak. He moved for that timing, and D.O. had 3 seconds left. Obviously, there are only 3 seconds left, but it is enough time to take action. Luave did not cancel the magic because he could not wait for only 3 seconds. ¡°The sight of them struggling is truly ridiculous and insignificant.¡± Even though he was aware of the actions of the Allied forces attacking the Abomination, he focused on completing Deathquake. Rumbling ¨C Eventually, when Deathquake was completed, the cracked earth shook even more. In the existing Deathquake, Luave¡¯s magic would have overturned the land and transformed it into a land of death. The reason why Deathquake is considered the best among wide-range destruction spells is because it changes the properties of the atmosphere into magical energy. Like radioactive fallout. If that happens, the land becomes polluted in an instant and most people cannot even breathe. But now it is not the original Deathquake. After learning that there was a sacrifice he was looking for under the ground, Luave achieved a magical transformation on his own. As Dio said, to find an offering that may be hidden deep inside. Originally, the magic of Luave used in Deathquake would cover the air and contaminate the land. They begin to ¡®search¡¯ to find the offering underground. Kugugugoong- ¡°Pfft!¡± Flash! Has Luave¡¯s magic reached what he was looking for? Amazingly dazzling divine light and flames leaked out through the cracked earth. ¡°This?¡± A different kind of sacredness than the light of Luna. Luav also looked at Dio, as if he noticed something strange. ¡°What is this?¡± Luave stretched out his hand towards Dio, who lost his balance as the ground shook. Then, magic energy flowed from Luave¡¯s fingertips and tried to grab Dio. But is it because they used big magic earlier? Luave¡¯s magic was not that threatening to Dio. Faaah! Luave threw his body and bared his teeth at Dio, who escaped his magic energy. I kept him alive for conversation, but I had a strong feeling that I shouldn¡¯t leave him like this. However, his mistake of not being able to subdue Dio at once gave Dio another chance. Quagwagwagwang! The shadow that blocked Luave¡¯s magic. ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°If you wake up, get away quickly!¡± Afterwards, the urgent voices of Roberto and Evelyn, causing Dio, were heard. ¡°How dare trivial things!¡± Evelyn and Roberto, who had retreated earlier due to Luave¡¯s flare, let out angry shouts at the addition. No matter how weakened it is, the power of the Archmage is not enough to be blocked by Evelyn¡¯s shadow. Luave¡¯s magical energy spread widely and swallowed Evelyn¡¯s shadow at once like a crocodile¡¯s mouth. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Luave¡¯s mighty power instantly shattered the blocking shadows, but they had already escaped. ¡°Everyone, come to your senses! ¡°We¡¯ll stop him!¡± ¡°All right!¡± Dio, who had settled on the turbulent land, comforted Evelyn and Roberto. The stage to fight Luave is ready. From now on, it is time to engage in a full-scale fight that risks life and death. * * * Dio, who almost died through Luav¡¯s imaginary space, admitted that his senses for survival had become dull. In addition, Dio¡¯s pride in himself led to a crisis. The title of Stagnant Man on the Order Board helped me a lot in this world. Depending on the information and situation you know, you also know the future to come. That was the problem. A special power that only I have. I always tried to solve problems on my own by relying on the system. Because I was the only one I could trust in a strange land. however. Even in forgotten temples. Even in River North. Even in Estel Room. I received help from many people, starting from mercenaries to the Seven Stars, followers of Sigmund Sun. It was more of a use than a help¡­ but now I need to be more tactful. Calliope is a pentagram and one of the seven stars. Although her condition is not good, there is no time to worry about her situation without worrying about her survival. So, Dio decided to take a chance. If Luave appears earlier than expected, Dio will also need to quickly pull out a card to deal with him. There is a reason why Dio led a reckless fight and revealed Sepia¡¯s location. ¡®If I tell Calliope about the situation here, she will move too.¡¯ In effect, it is like shouting to Calliope for help. Of course, this is not an action chosen simply because one¡¯s life is in danger. This is because it was judged that the current Luab would have a good chance of winning even if Calliope did not recover its power. ¡®Luave had a hard time coming all the way here.¡¯ Dio, who observed Luave who appeared in front of him, could tell that he had come to him by force. His bony forearms and bulging purple veins aren¡¯t what they used to be. Grand wizards are beings who are complete both mentally and physically. However, there are times when they become physically weak. When you use a large amount of magic by exhausting your mana to the point where it puts a strain on your body. -Luave is a person of interest in the Luna Church. The last report is that he is in the North. Dio did not ignore what Conrad said. The Luna Church¡¯s information power is considered the best on the continent. Dio trusted the information from the Luna Church. The fact that Luave devastated the North probably happened during the process of searching for Sepia, who was either himself or a sacrifice. Considering the above situations, there is only one conclusion that D.O. has reached. Luave, which was in the north, leapt to the east and came quickly. And in order to avoid the eyes of the Luna Church and move with a large number of warlocks, there is no choice but to use ¡®mass teleportation¡¯. As the transfer magic that can move through space is a top-level magic, the caster¡¯s mana consumption is also enormous. Moreover, if it is a ¡®mass teleport¡¯ that can move a large number of people. Even the 8th circle warlock Luabra is bound to have a hard time. In addition, Luav distributed the remaining magic energy to summon the Abomination. If not, there would be no way to raise Abomination¡¯s mana to use Deathquake. So Dio was convinced that Luave¡¯s condition was not perfect. I don¡¯t think I can win, but at least¡­ I can take my time. * * * Crack! Boom ¨C Dio¡¯s sword and Roberto¡¯s fist move at the same time. Their target is Luav, who has consumed extremely much mana. Pabababak! However, it was not easy for the weakened Luave. Luave¡¯s staff deflected Dio¡¯s sword and his arm blocked Roberto¡¯s fist. ¡®Body strengthening¡¯ used by wizards. In addition, the body strengthening used by an 8th circle warlock can produce strength stronger than that of most knights. ¡°What kind of power!¡± Roberto, embarrassed by this, tried to pull out Luave¡¯s hand, but it did not budge. To say that Luave has become weaker means that he has become weaker compared to his original strength, not that he has become weaker than Dio and the others. ¡°Don¡¯t stop!¡± Dio kicked Luave in the face instead of the embarrassed Roberto. bang! In response, Luave created a shield in the air to block Dio¡¯s repeated attacks once again, but Roberto was able to pull out the captured arm in the gap. However, that alone is not enough to completely avoid Luave¡¯s touch. Because Luave¡¯s turn is not over yet. Quang! ¡°Oops!¡± The terrible magic energy spewing out of Luave exploded and swallowed Roberto. It was a level 6 black magic [Crowl Death]. ¡°Ugh!¡± Thanks to Roberto, who was close to Luave, Dio suffered minimal damage from the explosion, but received quite a bit of damage from that alone. Craddangtang! Dio walked away, and Luave grabbed Roberto¡¯s tanned face, probably with the intention of quickly dealing with the vampire in front of him. That¡¯s when Luave tried to pop Roberto¡¯s face with his strong grip. ¡°Bwaa haap¡­!¡± Roberto withstood Luave¡¯s strong grip, grabbed his forearm, and activated blood magic. Luave is a great wizard who transcends humanity, but in the end, he is a human who bleeds. Roberto¡¯s blood magic glowed red to steal Luave¡¯s blood. ¡°Such insolence!¡± However, Luave, who could not just watch this, quickly kicked Roberto¡¯s body. ¡°Cough!¡± Even the vampire¡¯s excellent physical strength could not withstand the attacks of Luave, whose body was strengthened, but Roberto tenaciously attacked him. The precious time he bought me. Dio drank all kinds of potions in his inventory in one go. [Consuming a large amount of potions causes mana poisoning.] [Double the effect of the potion taken when in a mana poisoned state.] [Additional potions cannot be used while in a mana poisoned state.] Dio continues to take potions. The reason I did it. It was to induce [potion addiction]. Of course, if you become addicted, you will not be able to take any more potions until the addiction is resolved. But now there is no going back for Dio. To him, the only thing that mattered was now that the potion effect could be doubled. ¡°Eveline!¡± ¡°Shadow Armor!¡± At Dio¡¯s shout, Evelyn immediately memorized the spell. Then, a puddle of shadows appeared from under Dio¡¯s shoes that were touching the ground. It slowly began to climb up Dio¡¯s feet. Dio¡¯s set equipment, which was ivory- colored, is wrapped in a wave of shadows. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In this way, not only Dio¡¯s body but also the equipment he wore was covered. ¡°With my mana right now, I can only last about 15 minutes! Any more than that is dangerous!¡± Evelyn¡¯s shout rang in Dio¡¯s ears. Even for her, the Shadow Armor was a high-level magic, so it was obvious that she looked quite tired. Dio opened the status window, taking Evelyn¡¯s advice to heart. And after investing in mana, I invested all of the remaining level-up points in agility. I felt that my body became lighter. Dio clenched and opened his fist a couple of times to get the feel for it. With this, preparations are complete. ¡®This is all we can do!¡¯ From mana poisoning to Evelyn¡¯s Shadow Armor. bang! As Dio hit the ground, the loud sound of a shell exploding rang out. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 103 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 103Episode 103 Kwaaang-! Every time Dio stepped on the ground, a loud noise spread and the ground caved in. Just the weight he felt when he moved showed that he was much stronger than his usual state. At first glance, Dio¡¯s equipment painted with shadows seemed very heavy, but this was just an optical illusion. Because there is no weight to a shadow in the first place. ¡®I hope your training will pay off!¡¯ Evelyn concentrated on maintaining the shadow armor she used on Dio. She learned Shadow Armor recently. The efforts that had been made consistently with the doll and Roberto paid off. Dio assigned her to a supporting role from the beginning and asked her to strengthen her body using shadows. This is because this is the most effective way to use Evelyn¡¯s help when facing enemies that Dio cannot face. If it was an opponent that Evelyn¡¯s magic would not work on, the right thing to do was to strengthen one¡¯s companions. Even now, Shadow Armor was the best move for Luave. Although it may not be as strong as the 8th Circle Warlock¡¯s physical strengthening, it will definitely provide significant help to Dio. ¡®Faster!¡¯ The moment Dio approached Luave after completing all reinforcements lasted about 0.5 seconds at most. I think that in order to break Luave¡¯s shield, you need to invest stat points into the attack side. That¡¯s because they don¡¯t know what Luave¡¯s abilities are. You shouldn¡¯t think of him as a typical wizard. Right now, he¡¯s accepting the attack with ease, but if Luave wants to, he can evade it as much as he likes. The great wizard¡¯s ability to move through space is impossible for even the best knights and rangers to match unless they are at the master level. At mediocre speed, you can¡¯t even allow him to attack. So Dio increased his agility as much as possible. The fight will be successful only if you land a successful hit on him. phut-! Passing by Roberto, who was persistently blocking Luave, was literally an instant. Even Luave could not react to Dio¡¯s speed, which increased his strength to the maximum. Probably because he was also quite tired. Tub ¨C Dio grabbed Luave¡¯s arms and thrust his knee toward the guy¡¯s chin. What matters now is speed. I focused on hitting the guy while conserving the time to swing the weapon. Bye! Jjeok- I can clearly feel the feeling of my knee sticking into Luave¡¯s chin. As proof of this, the sound of the shield covering Luave¡¯s body grinding can be heard. ¡®The attack works! ¡®You can¡¯t give it a chance!¡¯ Boom ¨C Dio changed his posture, pulled Luave¡¯s arm and threw him on the floor. However, no sound was heard as Luave hit the ground. Although he was clearly holding on to the guy so as not to let him go, Luave¡¯s new form disappeared in an instant and reappeared at a considerable distance from Dio. ¡®Short-distance teleportation!¡¯ Dio gritted his teeth and kicked the ground again. As I worried about earlier, it is impossible to keep up with the speed of teleportation. However, even the mobile device that shows such outstanding ability has its weaknesses. That is, there is a cooldown that prevents the skill from being used continuously. ¡®If it¡¯s about Luave, it¡¯s 3 seconds.¡¯ You must approach again within 3 seconds. However, Luave, aware of this, raised his hand. Return to school! ¡°Tsk!!¡± Dio, who was trying to approach Luave, fell backwards due to the shock he felt in his chest. It was [Dark Cutter], a level 4 killing magic. Normally, this was an attack that wouldn¡¯t be surprising if it cut my body in half. However, the shadow armor covering Dio¡¯s entire body increased the defense of the affected area and reduced the impact. So much so that the density of the shadows has become thicker. ¡®Why don¡¯t you use stronger magic?¡¯ Although Dark Cutter is a strong attack, it is insufficient compared to Luave¡¯s level. However, Dio¡¯s doubts were soon answered. Luave wasn¡¯t on Dio¡¯s nerves right now. ¡°¡­You¡¯re bothering me.¡± Luave was concentrating his strength on his staff that was touching the floor. A huge demon created using Deathquake. Seeing the demonic energy flowing through his staff onto the cracked floor, he seemed to be wary of the sacred light and flame flowing from underground. ¡®He noticed it too.¡¯ What¡¯s underneath right now must be Calliope¡¯s energy. In Luave¡¯s position, it would have been right to be wary of the sacrifice and unknown power hidden on the floor rather than the minnows in front of him. ¡®Is Calliope still there?¡¯ There¡¯s no way she wouldn¡¯t know the situation on the ground, but seeing as she doesn¡¯t show up, it seems like Calliope needs a little more time. In that case, Dio had to push Luave even harder. Before Luave attacked Calliope, who was not ready yet. ¡°Ha!¡± Dio ran again with enthusiasm, and Luave put down the hand holding the staff and lightly swung his other arm. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp ¨C A black chain appeared from Luave¡¯s palm and greeted Dio. The [Black Chain] mainly used by Viktor, which Dio also knows. However, the black chain was on a completely different level than when he used it. Not only is it thick, but the number of projectiles in the chain is as many as four. Dio flew around in the air and knocked away all the chains. Kagaga River ¨C Although he couldn¡¯t remove all the chains, Dio has shadow armor. Dio instead aimed for the chain that he could not throw away to wrap around his arm. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Dio¡¯s expression was distorted due to the pain of the chain tightening even though he was protected by a shadow, but he accepted this level of pain. Dio pulled his grabbed arm and accelerated his body forward. ¡®I can hold on!¡¯ Dio quickly approached Luave using the chain in reverse. However, Luave, who thought this was nothing more than a joke, cut the chains and spread a black curtain. bang! Dio¡¯s sword was blocked by Luave¡¯s curtain. However, as before, Luave¡¯s shield is not perfect. A crack appears again in his shield. This time I wasn¡¯t satisfied with the cracks. Before he knew it, Dio plunged the arrow in his hand into Luave¡¯s shield. Clink! Luave¡¯s shield finally broke. * * * The arrow that broke Luave¡¯s shield is not the normal arrow used by Bertio¡¯s soldiers. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Crushing Arrow of Shame] Grade: Unique Classification: Arrow Level limit: 200 Required agility: 190 Attack power: 210 Special effect: When target¡¯s health is 10% or less Additional damage 100%. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®Crushing Arrow of Shame¡¯, one of the ¡®Crushing¡¯ series. This so-called ¡®Arrow of Crushing¡¯ was one of the arrows that Dio originally intended to give to Sepia. It boasted the highest attack power among the dogs. In particular, it was a highly valuable item among the Crushing series due to its special effect of inflicting additional damage to targets with low health. In addition, high-grade arrows can exert considerable power even without having to be fired from a bow. There is a legendary weapon called Nidhogg, which is considered the best in this field, but there is currently no Nidhogg left in Dio¡¯s inventory. If Nidhogg had been there from the beginning, we wouldn¡¯t have had to go through this trouble. Clink! Luave¡¯s remaining shield began to completely break. Still, the crushing arrow was enough to destroy Luave¡¯s shield, which was made hastily in an unreasonable condition. The crushing option was also effective because it targeted the ¡®shield¡¯ he created, not Luave. ¡°Tsk.¡± Luave briefly clicked his tongue, but used teleportation again. Even though he broke the shield, Dio¡¯s attack did not reach Luave. However, this is what Dio expected. The teleport reuse time of 3 seconds has already passed. Pop! Dio planted his feet on the ground and turned his body. As expected, Luave did not travel that far. Luave continued to operate Deathquake and did not stop searching underground. Because that¡¯s what he¡¯s most wary of. Squeak ¨C A huge longbow in Dio¡¯s hand. This was a weapon that Dio briefly borrowed from Senior Knight Andrew. Since it was a weapon used by knights around level 230, the specifications of the longbow were not bad. No, it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s bad. Ping ¨C liquid! The crushing arrow fired by Dio flew precisely towards Luave. Due to the cooldown, Luav cannot use Teleport again. So how can he block the crushing arrow? Tup! Luave caught the flying arrow of crushing. Not only is he agile, but he also has amazing visual acuity that allows him to accurately see incoming arrows. It was a part that showed how strong Luave had become, armed with physical strengthening. But Dio always thinks about the next thing. Kwagwagwagwagwang! A crushing arrow that just exploded. This was not a simple explosion, but a release of the concentrated power of the sun. Dio, who remembered the power of the sun that Sepia showed in Crassus¡¯ room, applied it and used it. This worked successfully. A cloud of dust rises. However, the damage was probably minor, and Luave emerged unharmed from the thick dust. ¡°¡­What is this power?¡± Looking a little closer, Luave was not fine. His skin appeared cracked here and there. It must have definitely caused damage to the physical reinforcements that protect his body. But it¡¯s still not enough. Luave, who had been hit hard by the power of the sun, only had a distorted expression and did not seem to have suffered much damage. ¡®Even if I use up all my remaining mana!¡¯ Dio kicked the ground again, thinking that now was the game. Took! Dio put his sword in his waist while spinning in the air. This is Baldosul for [Island]. ¡°Ha!¡± Boom! When Dio pulled out his sword, the power of the sun radiated from the [Island] headed toward Luave. Kwagwagwagwagwang! The flames caused when the [Island] exploded engulfed Luave. However, Luave strengthened his body again, bought time, and immediately used teleportation to escape from Dio¡¯s attack range. ¡°Not yet!¡± I didn¡¯t plan on finishing it in one go. Because he still had mana left due to the potion poisoning, Dio continued to use [Island]. Quagwagwang! Bubble bubbling! Roberto¡¯s mouth widened as he retreated with all his strength at the sight. I knew that Dio was strong, but I never imagined that he would show this level of inaction. Even though the opponent is an 8th circle warlock, if he takes a direct hit from an attack like this¡­! Flashing ¨C Roberto, who was watching Dio¡¯s indiscriminate bombardment, could see something flashing inside the explosion. Suddenly! ¡°Ugh!¡± A blade of darkness cutting through thick dust. Roberto¡¯s right arm was torn off by the blades of darkness spreading in all directions. ¡°Roberto!¡± ¡°The jokes end here.¡± Did he take no damage from Dio¡¯s attack? no. That didn¡¯t seem to be the case. Although there were no injuries, Luave¡¯s complexion looked quite tired. This may be because more and more mana was used in an already unreasonable situation. Tongue ¨C Luave hit the ground hard with his staff. Sreuk ¨C the space is distorted. Dio was unable to follow Luave¡¯s movements to the point that the agility points he had invested in not giving the guy a chance were worthless. Huh! For Luave, who uses large-scale transfer, simple space movement is easy. At some point, Luave reached behind Dio and waved his hand roughly. Shush ¨C [Dark thorn] pierces Dio¡¯s body before he can react. Sigh! Puff poop! ¡°Gagging!¡± Luave got closer to prevent Dio from dodging, which was faster than expected, so Dio was unable to avoid the sharp thorns he created. thud! Dio, whose entire body was pierced by thorns, fell to his knees as if he were shackled. At least his life was saved thanks to Evelyn¡¯s shadow armor, but his fatality remains the same. ¡°There is no need to keep you alive any longer.¡± Behind Dio, who was kneeling, Luave created a huge spear using magic energy. ¡°under!¡± Dio laughed at this. Even though it would not be strange if his heart was pierced at any time, Luave was surprised when Dio laughed. ¡°What¡¯s so funny?¡± Luave used magic to hold the black spear to Dio¡¯s heart. No matter how hard he struggles. Even if there are other ways. The current attack will be unavoidable. Hwaak ¨C A ray of light that comes in an instant. This was the force first detected by Deathquake. Luave had only just noticed it as he was dealing with the struggles of his enemies. It¡¯s not something you pull. This unknown power. It¡¯s coming on its own. ¡°What?¡± Luave stepped back as he watched the spear he created reach the light and disappear. A light that would seem glorious to some seemed ominous to Luave. bang! Like a volcano exploding, rain burst out from behind Luave and shot into the sky. A pillar of light that connects heaven and earth. Wow ¨C Luave¡¯s lunar eclipse, touched by strong rain, was slowly clearing. And a figure appearing from the pillar of light began to slowly descend. It¡¯s definitely an ominous aura for the warlock Luave. Luave could not help but be amazed by the awe that the rain gave off. ¡®Huh, you¡¯re behind now.¡¯ Dio realized that his hard work was not in vain and smiled. But even for a moment. ¡®Huh? But¡­¡¯ The only thing that appeared with the bright light at its back was Sepia. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He should have appeared with her¡­. ¡®Where is Calliope?¡¯ There was no sign of the seven stars that would put an end to this situation. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 104 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 104Episode 104: The foot of the mountain away from Ox. At Ates¡¯s feet lay a pair of destroyed adamantium handcuffs, and next to them lay sleeping Bertio¡¯s senior knight Calco. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± After being freed, Ates massaged her wrist and looked at the woman who saved her. Classy yet elegant. A woman whose tone of voice exudes a strange seductiveness. However, Artes did not let down his guard full of fear because he had memories of almost being killed by this woman. ¡°Why? ¡°Because we need your key.¡± The woman Calliope answered without even looking at Ates. ¡°How should I know the thoughts of the key, your precious body?¡± Calliope¡¯s tone was full of sarcasm, as if it wasn¡¯t something she wanted to do. ¡°key? ¡°Are you referring to Captain Diamond?¡± ¡°You take care of everything from now on.¡± Calliope seemed to be tired of answering Ates¡¯ question, so she drew a magic circle in the air. It was a teleportation magic circle for moving long distances. Shush-! ¡°Now wait!¡± As Calliope disappeared in an instant, Ates shouted urgently, but Calliope had already left. ¡®What I will do¡­¡¯ Ates looked at the sleeping Calco in silence and then raised his head as if he had decided. He has no time to hesitate now. Ates left Calco alone and ran towards Ox in the opposite direction. * * * At dawn, the morning dawns. Dio wanted to ask Sepia, who appeared with a flash of light at her back, where Calliope was, but it was not a situation to talk to her calmly. Shadow Armor has already been disbanded. Dio, who had a hole in his body after being hit by Luave, was in such a serious condition that he could not easily speak out. The good news is that all of Luave¡¯s attention is focused on Sepia. 3 more minutes until the potion addiction wears off. This time, on the contrary, Sepia just needs to hold on. ¡®Can I do it?¡¯ Sephia appeared alone, without Calliope. Dio, who couldn¡¯t help but be worried, suddenly noticed that Luave was silently trembling. ¡®what? ¡®Afraid?¡¯ However, contrary to Dio¡¯s expectations, Luave was not afraid. ¡°Oooh! This¡­this power!¡± Perhaps it was because the sacrifice that Victor wanted was better than expected. Luave looked at Sephia with dreamy eyes, as if he had come across a great treasure. Sepia frowns in displeasure and raises her hand. Then a bead of light swirled around her. The shining orb flew quickly past Viktor and landed in Dio¡¯s chest. ¡°Huh!?¡± Dio sucked in a breath as the bead entered his body. I thought I had been attacked suddenly. But¡­ Paaaa! Dio felt his whole body becoming warm, as if warm sunlight was wrapping around his body. Afterwards, Dio¡¯s wounds, which had holes all over his body, began to heal quickly. The amazing recovery speed is such that the process of filling the hole is visible. ¡°what?!¡± Luave, who was watching the scene, could not stop being amazed. The thing that hurt Dio was level 6 black magic [Dark Thorn]. It does not simply have the ability to penetrate the target. The thick magic energy contained in the thorns of darkness was like a poison that would short-live the knight¡¯s body. That¡¯s why Dio couldn¡¯t move. However, Sepia¡¯s healing beads instantly purified even the demonic energy contained in Dio¡¯s body. Sigh ¨C Sepia didn¡¯t stop at just treating Dio, but raised her arms again, this time shooting them at Roberto and Evelyn. Eveline was supporting Roberto, who was seriously injured. They also received sepia recovery beads one by one. Woe! ¡°That¡¯s ridiculous!¡± Evelyn shouted in surprise at the sight of Roberto¡¯s right arm, which had fallen off, being reattached. If you look at its abilities alone, it was comparable to the level 7 sacred magic [Great Heal]. ¡®I¡¯ve never seen healing magic like this before.¡¯ Dio expected Sepia to be a unique skill possessed by a former Saint of the Sun, but he was also surprised by its considerable healing power. ¡°The power of the sun! also! ¡°That was your power!¡± Luave¡¯s cry rang loudly. Until now, Dio and his companions had used the power of the sun to deal with him, but Luave seemed to have finally noticed. The reason was simple. The power of the sun used by Dio and the others was just like insignificant divine power from Luave¡¯s perspective. Didn¡¯t Dio¡¯s attack, which he used with all his might, end up not even scratching Luave? However, the power of the sun that sepia emits now is completely different. ¡°That power is mine now!¡± Luave seemed to know what the power of the sun was. Otherwise, there would be no way for him to become this greedy. ¡°Hehe, I will offer you all up as living sacrifices!¡± Luave, shouting with bloodshot eyes, stretched out his hand towards Sepia. Sigh! Will the black chain be used again? The sound of a chain being dragged resonates. However, the chain that appeared in the air tied Luave¡¯s hands, not Sepia¡¯s. ¡°!!¡± Luave¡¯s eyes opened like a rabbit¡¯s as if he was embarrassed by the chain of light that grabbed his wrist to prevent him from using magic. ¡®Even binding skills?¡¯ Dio recalled the flames that entangled Victor in Sephia¡¯s unconsciousness. At that time, the flame moved on its own on behalf of the unconscious Sephia. However, the current Sepia is not unconscious. This would mean that Sepia can completely control the power that was latent until now. Dio caught his breath as he watched Sepia¡¯s performance. Rather than thinking about why Calliope didn¡¯t appear, the important thing now was to defeat Luave in front of me. As Sephia agreed, she hurriedly settled down next to Dio and got straight to the point. ¡°You will be released soon! ¡°Please hold on for just one minute!¡± Dio nodded at Sepia¡¯s words. Since there was only one minute left until the potion poisoning lasted, I decided that I would be able to endure it at least. He picked up the sword that was lying on the floor. ¡°Here we go again! Everyone assist!¡± Dio spoke to Evelyn and Roberto and immediately charged towards Luave, who was bound by chains of light. Whirring ¨C Evelyn, who had recovered her mana thanks to Sepia, instantly cast Shadow Armor and covered Dio¡¯s body. ¡°bout!¡± Luave, who could not stand to watch this quietly, burst into spirit. Parching! Then black sparks spewed out at him. The ominous electric current instantly broke the chain of light, and Luave¡¯s hands were free again. ¡°Do not disturb!¡± Luave¡¯s momentum became even stronger as he no longer had to worry about Deathquake. He swung the hand that was holding the cane towards Dio, and soon dozens of thorns rose up from under the street where Dio and Luave were separated. Quad deud deuk! It is the same [Dark Thorn] as before. Dio jumped high, jumped over the rising thorns, and rushed at Luave. Whirik ¨C However, another magic from Luave that was preparing for this welcomed Dio. ¡°Tsk!¡± The magic beast¡¯s arm suddenly appeared in the empty air and struck Dio away. Was the body moved and thrown away? Dio was helplessly thrown away by the heaviness of the ogre¡¯s body. Quagwagwang! Dio was thrown to the ground, and as Luav was about to draw a magic circle in the air, Roberto, wearing shadow armor, attacked from behind. Not just Roberto. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Evelyn¡¯s shadow blade was fired towards Luave. ¡°Ha!¡± Shuak-! Luave stopped gesturing in the air and stepped forward with his right foot. thud! As the ground trembled and gravity began to become heavier, the shadow blade that Evelyn fired disappeared in an instant. Not only that, Roberto, who was running towards him, was also unable to withstand his heavy body and roared! and knelt down. ¡°Ugh!¡± ¡°This guy?¡± However, unlike the first time he was helpless, Roberto withstood the magic of Luave that weighed down his body. In response, Luave tried to raise his demonic power even stronger, but he hurriedly used teleportation due to the fear coming toward his neck. Boom ¨C Dio¡¯s sword splits the air. But Dio didn¡¯t care and hurriedly opened his mouth. ¡°We¡¯re up! Roberto, blow the strongest one!¡± Roberto, who confirmed that Luave was floating in the sky at Dio¡¯s words, collected a lot of blood that was scattered on the floor. Coughing ¨C Perhaps because the power of the lunar eclipse had weakened with the appearance of Sepia, the blood magic used by Roberto seemed much more powerful than before. ¡°Burning Blood!¡± Took! A fireball leaves Roberto¡¯s hand. If you look closely, you can see that the flame was burning the blood. It shot up straight away and caused a powerful explosion when it hit Luave. Quagwagwagwang! Dio swallowed. Luave received his [Island] several times and still had no scratches. Burning Blood is the strongest blood magic that Roberto can use, but¡­ Gooooooo ¨C Dio¡¯s ominousness was not wrong. The smoke from the explosion suddenly gathered together with the wind, and this time it was instantly colored into darkness. Pajjijijik ¨C Smoke colored in darkness begins to generate sparks like dark clouds. ¡°damage!¡± Kwazizig! Dozens of black spears raining down from the sky. The moment Dio thought it was too late as he looked at the dark sphere that had struck right above him. Flash! Powerful rain falling from a higher place than Luave, which fired the Dark Spear. Hwaaaaaaaaaaa! ¡®What about this?¡¯ ¡°Everyone, cheer up!¡± Sepia¡¯s cry echoes not only in Dio¡¯s ears but also in the ears of everyone on the battlefield. Dio had seen this skill before. A ¡®memory¡¯ of someone I saw when rescuing Sepia. It was the same skill that the woman who appeared from the sky used when she burned a powerful demon beast. Although it is not as big as it was back then. The power of the sun that Sepia used now affected not only Dio and the group, but also the entire Ox, which was engaged in a bloody battle with the Abomination. ¡°He has become weak!¡± ¡°The wound is healed! ¡°Oh, look over there!¡± A more dazzling light spreads from the sepia than when it first appeared. Ox¡¯s allied forces, who had only now noticed the dawn of time as they were dealing with the Abomination, let out a loud roar. They probably thought that support came from the Luna Church. The divine power just now was far beyond what one person could produce. ¡°Mana has been restored!¡± ¡°Luna protects us!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t back down!¡± The knights and paladins, led by Conrad, are pushing the Abomination even more fiercely. ¡°If we defeat that monster, dealing with Luave will be much easier!¡± Sepia walked up next to Dio and shouted loudly. Dio was also aware of this. However, it was so difficult to deal with just Luave that there was no time to worry about other allies. However, thanks to the addition of Sepia, the situation has changed greatly to our advantage. ¡°good job.¡± Dio praised Sephia¡¯s ability to understand the flow of the battlefield even though she joined late. Perhaps it would be possible to defeat Luave even without Calliope¡¯s help. -Coooooo! The Abomination, much smaller than before, runs wild. Quang! The Abomination¡¯s arm has been weakened infinitely by the priests¡¯ purification Luave¡¯s mana drain. Denggang ¨C However, due to the combined attack of the knights and paladins, one of Abomination¡¯s arms, which was attached to it, was cut off at once. But soon, the severed arm regenerates. But the Ox Alliance was laughing. This was because I noticed that the Abomination¡¯s body gradually shrunk every time it regenerated. They gained hope and resisted even harder. ¡®They clearly have the upper hand. We have to keep stopping Luave.¡¯ But you must not let your guard down. Even though the strength of the Ox Alliance, including Dio, has been strengthened. Even if I weakened Lunar Eclipse and Abomination. The fact that the opponent is Luave, an 8th circle warlock, does not change. ¡°Take him down!¡± Dio shouted, pointing to Luave, which was still floating in the sky. It¡¯s been a long, long fight, but the end is now in sight. Either he dies or we die. Dio, who had made up his mind to clash with all his might once again, did not notice. Among the priests who were showering divine power on the Abomination, he saw Telzia watching him closely. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 105 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 105Episode 105 Luave recalled the words of his old teacher. -Be alert to the newly rising sun and beware of the betrayal of the foolish moon. Luave, who was young at the time, did not understand his teacher¡¯s words. The now-forgotten sun god will appear someday. And that power must be taken away. Although it was Luave¡¯s first time encountering the power of the sun, he knew it right away. This feeling of heterogeneity. This mighty power. That¡¯s what the teacher wanted so badly. However, the power of the sun that I could not have was clear. Luave was unable to adapt to the power of the sun emitted by Sepia and was momentarily embarrassed. Luave, who had fought numerous battles with Luna¡¯s followers, was familiar with divine power. However, the solar power that Sepia now emits is different from the Holy Power of the Luna Church. Just touching the power of the sun causes the demon energy to shrink. This statement was similar to saying that the power of the sun is superior. If the Holy Power of the Luna Church was to suppress demon energy, that power seemed to burn away demon energy. ¡®If I take that power, I have nothing to fear.¡¯ However, even if the opponent had the upper hand in compatibility, it was clear at a glance that he was still a rookie. Cluck- Luave clicked his tongue briefly as the power of the sun tried to interfere with his magic again. Additionally, the shadow magic of the witch next to him is quite tricky. That witch must also be a believer in the sun who has been hiding all this time. At first, the power was so weak that he did not notice it¡­ but now Luave could see that the power of the sun in the shadow was getting stronger. ¡®The lunar eclipse disappears.¡¯ As the sun began to shine and the enemy¡¯s power began to grow so strong that it could no longer be shown off, Luave had no choice but to make a choice. ¡®It¡¯s a waste to kill a sacrifice.¡¯ Black magic has a structure where you gain great power but have to pay a price for it. It is different from magic, which requires general training in mana in order to reach a high level. It is a basic common sense of black magic that the greater the value of the offering, the greater power it gains. In particular, life is more valuable than goods. A corpse that once contained a living being is also valuable as a sacrifice, but the Demon King wants a living sacrifice if possible. This is because the power of ¡®life¡¯ itself becomes the source of ¡®death¡¯. ¡®It is true that the ritual should be performed alive, if possible, but¡­¡¯ Luave had been conscious of the sacrifice and was refraining from strong attacks as much as possible. However, it has become quite a daunting task to deal with it anymore. They kept getting stronger and Luave was the opposite. pop! As Luave¡¯s struggles deepen, their attacks become more intense. ¡®This guy!¡¯ Without giving up, Luave swung his staff at the mercenary who was running toward him. Grumbling! Luave created a wall to prevent the guy from approaching by creating black flames, but the guy didn¡¯t care and just broke through the flames. The shadow surrounding the mercenary¡¯s body seemed much stronger than at first. Moreover, the power of the sun makes him even stronger. To pierce its outer shell, light magic is just a waste of mana. Shush-! Luave¡¯s body floating in the air disappeared in an instant and he appeared near the sacrifice, which was his initial goal. As a result, other small fish are seen changing direction as well. ¡®Abomination is also difficult to maintain any longer. Luna¡¯s dogs are annoying too.¡¯ Abomination, which takes up a significant amount of its own power, is different from ordinary magical beasts. Abomination¡¯s physical strength was no different from Luave¡¯s own magic power. If they are Abomination, the damage Luave will receive cannot be ignored. ¡°Ugh, you bitch again¡­!¡± Without a moment to think, Luave gritted his teeth at the chain of light holding his wrist. Next, he is surrounded by guys who each exert the power of the sun. Even though they are mercenaries, witches and vampires are originally heretics like themselves. These traitorous guys¡­ no, these were clearly descendants of the ¡®forgotten god¡¯ that the Master had mentioned from the beginning. I gathered my mind, which had been torn apart by my desire to catch Luave alive. Although it is nothing compared to sacrificing a living person, a few corpses that used the power of the sun would be enough to secure enough power. ¡®I have no choice but to kill them all.¡¯ * * * ¡°It¡¯s falling apart!¡± ¡°His body disappears!¡± The cries of the knights and paladins who were pushing the Abomination rang out. More than half of the troops fell victim to this gigantic monster. Was the sacrifice not in vain? The cut off body no longer regenerated, and the size of the Abomination itself was noticeably reduced. This was enough for the Oaks Alliance to think that their victory was just around the corner. Gooooooo- ¡°Oh no! ¡°It¡¯s not going away!¡± ¡°The power is compressed!¡± The knights and paladins retreated from the magical energy emanating from the shrunken Abomination. Although the size was reduced, the opponent¡¯s power was still the same. No, on the contrary, the knights, who sensed that it was dangerous, hurriedly shouted. ¡°Avoid everyone!!¡± Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The Abomination¡¯s body exploded, causing a huge explosion, and the Ox Alliance forces were swept away in the aftermath. At the same time, the magic energy that escaped quickly flowed towards Shuruuk-Luave. ¡®this!¡¯ Dio immediately noticed that Luave¡¯s momentum had changed at the same time as the alliance¡¯s uproar. The power of Luave that was shared with the Abomination. As the pitch-black darkness was absorbed into Luave¡¯s body, Dio, who was running towards him, stopped for a moment. Pajijik ¨C The divided power of Luave is united as one. Powerful sparks flew from Luave¡¯s body. ¡°Everyone step back!¡± ¡°[Saint Wall]!¡± Dio shouted to his colleagues as he felt the original power of Luave on his skin. As soon as Dio shouts, Sepia¡¯s magic is activated. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! Flames imbued with the power of the sun surrounded Luave and blocked the black magic energy he emitted. ¡°I can¡¯t last much longer!¡± ¡°Gather here!¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Evelyn and Roberto gathered near Sepia, who was keeping Luave in check. Pajijijijik ¨C The best way would be to aim for the moment when the guy absorbs the Abomination, but Dio couldn¡¯t do that. Even the awakened Sepia can do nothing to prevent Luave¡¯s overflowing magic energy from leaking out to them. Whioooooooo-! The flames surrounding Luave began to pour out. Lightning continues to strike inside the waterspout that appears with strong winds. ¡°Ugh!¡± Pop! As if there was a sound. The wind calmed for a moment, and as soon as the whirlwind disappeared, Luave appeared. ¡°The joke is over now.¡± Luave spoke harshly and held out his staff. The momentum is completely different from when Abomination and Magi were divided. Eveline and Roberto trembled at the numbness. ¡®It¡¯s not perfect though.¡¯ The efforts made earlier to reduce Luave¡¯s power even a little were not in vain. It is true that even though he has become stronger, his magic energy has been significantly depleted. ¡®We¡¯ll have to stop it somehow.¡¯ In the process of combining demon energy, most of Ox¡¯s troops were in a state where they could not perform their duties. Additionally, D.O. has not forgotten one fact. The stronger the warlock, the more power he gains through living beings. Luave must know that¡­ Tung! When Luave¡¯s staff hit the ground, the wind that had stopped began to blow strongly again. Afterwards, surging waves. It is different from waves in the sea. A wave made of black flames attacked Dio and his companions. Level 7 black magic [Hell Wave]. The flame used by Luave is the ¡®fire of hell¡¯, which is the opposite of the flame of the sun. ¡°Get down!¡± Sepia pushed Dio away from in front of him and hurriedly stretched out his arms. Kwagwagwagwagwa! The Hell Wave is blocked by a curtain created by the power of the sun and scatters in all directions. It was somehow prevented. ¡°Huh! ¡°Huh!¡± However, Sephia exhaled harshly, as if she had used up a considerable amount of divine power. Dio was able to understand Luave¡¯s intentions. ¡®They¡¯re planning to kill us!¡¯ Dio, who never thought he would give up his living sacrifice, broke into a cold sweat. Compared to Sepia, who was exhausted, Luave was calmly preparing a huge magic spell. Dio quickly kicked the ground. Since he made his choice, he had to act accordingly. ¡°Get close to him!¡± Evelyn and Roberto attacked Luave as soon as Dio finished speaking. It is a characteristic of wizards that a gap appears after a big spell. It was no longer possible to give him time to use powerful magic. ¡°Ha!¡± Roberto¡¯s fist quickly leaps up and is aimed at Luave. However, Luave did not do so even though he could easily block his attack. Sigh! At some point, a spear of darkness appears and pierces Roberto¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Tsk!¡± Dio¡¯s sword, which came running to replace Roberto, who collapsed backwards after being pierced through the shoulder, was aimed at Luave¡¯s neck. But it¡¯s puzzling! And it just gets stuck. Luave even blocked Dio¡¯s sword with high-density magic energy without even using a shield. His enormous demonic energy, charged with the Abomination¡¯s demonic energy, grabbed hold of Dio¡¯s sword as if it had become his hands and feet. Clang! S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio¡¯s Silver Arming Sword broke in an instant because it could not withstand the power of demonic energy. ¡°I will kill you properly.¡± Luave muttered as he gathered his magic energy. As his demonic energy came together and created black spears, Dio quickly turned around. Pit ¨C Black thorns sprouting from under the ground graze Dio¡¯s waist. Luave¡¯s will to kill his opponent clearly is visible. Dio noticed that Luave had left them alone to approach. To process it more quickly and concisely. ¡°[Shadow Hand]!¡± Just as Luave was about to extend his hand towards Dio, Evelyn¡¯s shadow grabbed his arm. ¡°¡­.¡± Luave looked at Evelyn who used magic from afar and snapped her fingers while bound by the shadows. Perfect! He flicks his hand and his figure disappears. It¡¯s not teleportation. His new form turned into black mist and seeped into the shadow used by Evelyn. ¡°What!? ¡°How do I use my magic¡­!¡± Evelin was embarrassed. You went into your own shadow? In that case, the place where it would appear again was decided. ¡°Tsk!¡± Evelyn took a step back at the black smoke billowing out from beneath her feet. ¡°Manipulating shadows is not something that only you can do.¡± Luave appears in front of Evelyn and spreads his palms towards her. pop! Kwagwagwagwagwang! The flames of hell that appear at Luave¡¯s touch. But fortunately, the curtain of light that surrounded Evelyn saved her life. However, the shock must have been so great that Evelyn stumbled and coughed repeatedly in the suffocating flames of hell. ¡°Eveline! ¡°Get back!¡± To save Evelyn, Dio and Roberto took the injured body and attacked Luave. However, as if waiting for all of them to gather, a terrible demonic energy spewed out from Luave¡¯s body. Quagwagwang! Luave¡¯s flare. This time I couldn¡¯t avoid the magic that was shown repeatedly. The group, including Dio, rolled on the floor in pain as their entire bodies burned. Peeing ¨C Sepia urgently fired an arrow of light, but Luave lightly bounced his foot and disappeared. ¡°Is everyone okay?¡± Sepia was worried and cast healing magic. Dio¡¯s ribs were damaged by Luave¡¯s flare, but he felt them heal in an instant and stood up once again. ¡®Tsk. I knew they would look after me because I couldn¡¯t kill them, but¡­.¡¯ It¡¯s too strong. However, that didn¡¯t mean I was his opponent at all. Although Sepia is exhausted from the ongoing battle, she is still coping well with Luave¡¯s black magic. And Luave¡¯s mana is not infinite. He looks fine, but he will definitely get tired at some point. ¡®The effects of the potion poisoning are over. But with Sepia¡¯s support.¡¯ I¡¯ll just have to endure it a couple more times from now on. Dio looked around to find the missing Luave. weird. I can¡¯t see him. I thought they were going to continue their attacks, right? ¡°Over there!¡± When Roberto pointed somewhere, Dio turned his gaze in that direction. There, you could see Luauve floating in the sky. ¡®Are you planning to use big magic to increase the distance?¡¯ Luave draws a magic circle in the air. However, the magic circle was a bit concise, and more than anything, the targets he targeted were not Dio and Sepia. ¡°no way?¡± Only then was Dio able to look around the place where Luave was located. The entire town of Oaks lies at his feet. And in Ox Village, there were soldiers injured by the Abomination¡¯s explosion and villagers hiding. Cluck, Luave succinctly moved his fingers. However, the appearance of the magic circle created was not like that. In an instant, more than a dozen magic circles were drawn and overlapped, and the magic energy began to spread and cover the entire Ox. Then, the soldiers and citizens who caught the demonic spirit all collapsed one by one from the suffocating pain. ¡®[Mana Eater]!¡¯ It¡¯s different from when Abomination¡¯s mana was taken out. Mana Eater is a skill that forcibly eats a creature¡¯s mana and uses it in place of one¡¯s own mana. Knights and paladins of a certain level resist Luave¡¯s Mana Eater, but others do not. ¡°Holy shit!¡± The mana absorbed by the Mana Eater was converted into Luave¡¯s magic energy and formed a sphere. It is a level 8 black magic [Darkness: Black Bolt]. ¡°sepia!¡± Even without Dio speaking, Sepia surrounded the group with light. Then, the power of the sun radiating from her accumulated and a dome was erected like a barrier. ¡°die.¡± Luave, as if in awe of Sepia¡¯s protective shield, threw a black bolt in the shape of an arrow. A huge vibration rang out as the small sphere hit the dome of light like a bullet. Coo goo goo goo goong! It is a magic too powerful for Sepia to block. The good news is that Sepia¡¯s barrier slowed down Black Bolt. However, even though the speed was reduced, Black Bolt remained a threat. Jejeok ¨C Black Bolt sneaking through the barrier. As a result, the barrier slowly began to crack. Her arms trembled, as if the impact of the overwhelming magical energy being released even reached Sepia, which was erecting a barrier. Clink! Finally, the black arrow that shatters the dome of light is shot at Sepia. Luave is now targeting Sepia. Perhaps it was because the only being who could block his magic was annoying. ¡°damage!¡± Sephia quickly backed away at Dio¡¯s shout. Okay, with Sephia¡¯s speed taught by Crassus, she will definitely be able to avoid it. Whilick-! The moment Dio felt relieved, the black arrow changed direction in an instant. What Luave was aiming for from the beginning was not sepia. ¡°Oh no!¡± In response, Dio hurriedly kicked the ground, but was late in responding. ¡°Di Dio!¡± Sepia, who was watching this, also urgently called out to D.O. Sigh! A sound that pierced the fabric rang out. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 106 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 106Episode 106 ¡°Sepia!¡± Dio shouted as he looked at Sepia, who had been pierced through his shoulder. Luave used level 8 black magic through Mana Eater. As soon as his magic changed direction and tried to catch Dio off guard, Sepia immediately rushed over and pushed Dio away. ¡°you idiot! Do you know what kind of magic this is?¡± A black arrow stuck in Sepia¡¯s shoulder. [Deep Black Bolt] does not end after hitting the opponent. The black bolt, which has the shape of an arrow, is merely a medium for marking. The real danger is the magic energy of Luave that is connected to this. Luave¡¯s dangerous magical energy is injected into the opponent connected to Black Bolt. In that case, the demon energy eats away at the opponent¡¯s mind and body and explodes at once, delivering certain death. ¡°If Dio is safe, wouldn¡¯t everyone be able to survive?¡± ¡°What is that¡­¡± Sephia wasn¡¯t talking about the oath connected to Dio. ¡°believe. Dio, who always found a way.¡± [Sepia¡¯s trust has increased by 10.] Dio¡¯s mind was awakened by the increase in Sepia¡¯s trust, which he had forgotten about for a while. In times of crisis, a solution is always found. Ironically, it was Sepia who believed this, not Dio himself. Dio nodded, looking at Sepia, who was trying to say everything was okay. Even if it was just to repay her trust. You have to believe in yourself. ¡®Worry about it later. Now I have to focus on what I can do.¡¯ You have to hurry. Sepia¡¯s expression looked quite unhappy as she held on to the arrow shaft stuck in her shoulder. Sepia is probably holding out so as not to be dominated by the demonic energy flowing into the Black Bolt. However, even with the power of Sepia, who was awakened as a saint, all she could do was slow down the level 8 black magic. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Hehehe, I got an unexpected result.¡± Luave approaches, smiling happily. Luave abandoned Sepia, who was armed with the powerful power of the sun, and planned to deal with Dio first. But what is this? The situation couldn¡¯t have been better for Luave as his number one target fell under his own magic. If this happens, you can reconsider your choice to kill and then sacrifice the corpse. ¡®You must be thinking¡­¡¯ Dio¡¯s head turns quickly as he reads the expression on Luave¡¯s approaching face. Luave is greedy for his unexpected luck. Otherwise, Sephia¡¯s body, which had already been hit by the black bolt, would have exploded. But he didn¡¯t do that. Sepia¡¯s life, hit by the Black Bolt, is now in Luave¡¯s hands. In that case, it wouldn¡¯t be strange if the ritual were performed right now while you¡¯re still alive. Hot! When Luave turns his wrist, the visible veins on his forearm stand out. It looks like he is trying to dominate Sepia¡¯s body with magic in earnest. It¡¯s the same as in Deathquake. Luave is trying to transform Deep Black Bolt with the purpose of killing. A black string connected to Luave¡¯s wrist and Sepia¡¯s shoulder. The black line gradually becomes darker from Luave. Ugh-! The moment when Luave¡¯s magic energy begins to flow into Sephia¡¯s body. Crack! Having made up his mind, Dio ran straight ahead without hesitation. The only thing that can move now is yourself. Because Sepia continued to consume divine power, she was unable to sufficiently recover Evelyn and Roberto. Not to mention myself, who had to resist Luave¡¯s demonic energy. ¡®My condition isn¡¯t that good¡­but!¡¯ It is clearly impossible for Dio, who has fought repeatedly, to stop Luave on his own. However, if you are ¡®nullifying¡¯ the black magic connected to sepia. * * * ¡°Hehehe, what a joke.¡± Luave laughed at Dio running towards him. The struggle of a weak person to overcome a desperate situation. I thought it was just like that. ¡°Haaaab!¡± Luave raised his right hand, dividing the huge demon energy contained in the black bolt. Since there is no need to immediately kill a precious sacrifice, it is not a problem to recover some of the magical energy allocated to Black Bolt. Moreover, with this ¡®little¡¯ amount of demonic power, he can easily deal with the obstacles that stand in his way. Pazijijijik ¨C The darkness wrapped around Luave¡¯s arms. The darkness instantly created the shape of a sword and aimed precisely at the charging Dio. ¡°I have secured a saint! ¡°There is no need for the lives of small children anymore!¡± The cry of Luave, who was convinced that Sepia was the Saint of the Sun. Sigh! Luave¡¯s [Black Saber] was aimed at Dio¡¯s heart, which was right in front of him. Whirik ¨C Dio, who was trying to avoid this, quickly turns around. But perhaps it was too much to avoid completely, and the black blade cut deeply into his waist. ¡°Tsk!¡± Although he avoided the attack aimed at the heart, Luave was not worried about this at all. He can no longer recover because he is holding on to this woman. Like [Dark Thorn], this attack will cover its body with its own demonic energy. Stumbling ¨C Luave once again laughed at Dio, who was unable to control his body as expected. okay. Just die. That is the language of the weak. Luave did not pay attention to Dio, who was about to pass away. Right now, the most important thing for him was to perform the ritual with the Saint of the Sun alive. Was it because I didn¡¯t pay attention for that moment? I didn¡¯t even see Luave. The mercenary, who looked like he was going to collapse at any moment, grabbed hold of his magical energy being injected through the black line. ¡°Are you trying to grasp at straws? ¡°Hehehe, it¡¯s so sad!¡± A black line connected to Black Bolt. Magi moves slowly along that black line. And the mercenary caught the moving demonic energy with both hands. Are you really thinking of transferring demon energy on behalf of the saint? ¡°under! You fool! ¡°Do you think you can stop my great magic with just your body?¡± Luave was confused for a moment, but that was all. His actions are truly suicidal. The idea is to die on behalf of the saint, but Black Bolt is already connected to the saint. It is not easy to cancel the 8th circle black magic just by capturing the nexus. Rather, it was clear that the body of the person who came into contact with the demon energy contained in the connection body would be instantly destroyed. ¡°Die quietly!¡± With this, the obstacle disappeared. From now on, Luave just needs to carry out the ritual with the Saint of the Sun alive. If it¡¯s a sacrifice that has been hit by level 8 black magic, right now¡­ Clink! Luave turned his head when he heard the sound of something breaking. This was because the sound was particularly loud amidst all the noise. Luave felt a similar sense of ominousness as when he begged for his life from ¡®that man¡¯ of the Empire. Is it possible for the human body to make the sound of glass breaking? Why does the guy holding the connection make a cracking sound rather than rotting away? No, no. The guy didn¡¯t die. Instead of the body of a guy who should have rotted just by coming in contact with his demon energy¡­ ¡°What did you do!?¡± Luave¡¯s eyes widened as if he could not believe that the black line used as a connector had become thinner. ¡°surprised?¡± The situation turns around. Luave looked at the mercenary who was laughing at him and realized that things were going wrong. Patter ¨C Something crumbled in Dio¡¯s hand, which was holding the black line, and fell to the ground. * * * ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Void Amulet] Grade: Unique Classification: Necklace Level limit: 50 Special effect: Nullifies one life-threatening fatal attack. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The sapphire necklace Dio gave to Sepia. This artifact, which was taken from Sephia¡¯s neck just before it lunged at Luave, had exhausted its effect and was destroyed. ¡®It¡¯s just as I thought.¡¯ Although the Void Amulet is a unique equipment, it is an item that has difficulty blocking Luave¡¯s level 8 black magic. [Deep Black Bolt] is not a magic that just inflicts a single fatal wound on the target. The caster, Luave, can control the opponent¡¯s death at any time, and this cannot be prevented with the Void Amulet effect, ¡®1-time nullification¡¯. But what if Dio is not Black Bolt¡¯s target? If the ¡®black line¡¯, the link of black magic, is caught and activated when his life is in danger. Hwaaaaaaa! The wave emanating from the broken amulet instantly cut off the black line threatening Dio¡¯s life. When the connection is broken, the magic energy released by Luave loses its intended path and begins to gather together. Originally, Magi would have been directed at Sepia, who was targeted by Black Bolt. However, the passage was blocked because the connection was broken. This phenomenon meant that the black magic that was cast was not simply cancelled. ¡°This guy! Lee Iik¡­!¡± Luave also realized that something was wrong and tried to calm down the rampaging Magi, but it was already too late. Excessive magical energy began to seep into Luave¡¯s left arm, which was connected to Black Bolt. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! When the magical energy focused on this flowed back, his arm was torn off with an explosion. ¡°Kaaaaaaak!¡± Luave struggled holding on to his severed forearm, but it only lasted for a moment. ¡°this person! ¡°It¡¯s just a joke!¡± An enraged Luave shouted at Dio and began to return the regurgitated magic energy to normal. ¡°Heo-eok- heo-eok-!¡± Dio¡¯s life was saved thanks to the artifact, but his wounds had not fully recovered, so he let out a rough breath. Now that Luave was soothing the regurgitated demonic energy, it was Dio¡¯s opportunity, but he was unable to move even a single step. ¡°Do you think you won by blocking my magic!¡± As the enraged Luave said, all Dio did was cancel the black magic connected to Sepia. The recoil hit Luave, but it was not enough to threaten his life. As proof of this, Luave¡¯s severed forearm was slowly healing as his black magic energy poured in. ¡°Your death has only been delayed a little! wait a moment. ¡°I personally risked your life¡­¡± This level of injury was not that serious to him. However, the opportunity to sacrifice the Saint of the Sun alive was lost¡­ but it doesn¡¯t matter now. Luave just wanted to kill all the sun believers in front of him. However, despite Luave¡¯s assurances, Dio looked rather relaxed. As if he sensed that a long, long fight was over. In response, Luave looked wary, thinking that there might still be numbers hidden by the opponent. The more you push him, the more unexpected situations happen. This time, Luave was cautious. The 8th Circle Warlock acknowledged this simply by not belittling his opponent. That mercenary is a threat to him. But this caution. Luave¡¯s behavior, which he normally would not have done, became toxic. ¡°thanks. ¡°For taking the time yourself.¡± ¡°what?¡± When Dio, who could only stand, spoke, Luave raised his eyebrows. A sense of discomfort was felt behind Luave at that moment. A completely different type of energy that is similar to one¡¯s own magic energy. No, it¡¯s not similar. Much more dangerous and strong. Luave could not believe it, having encountered this power once before. Why is she here? Why is she, who is supposed to maintain the ¡®balance¡¯ of the continent, getting involved in his own fight? Calliope smiled and opened her mouth to Dio. ¡°Thank you too.¡± ¡°¡­yes?¡± ¡°You took the time. Of course I thought you would do it.¡± Luave¡¯s body begins to be crushed. Luave, who had just been gathering his energy, could not withstand it. ¡°Kwaaaaaa!!¡± His whole body twisted strangely and he let out a scream. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 107 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 107Episode 107 ¡°Heh heh¡­.¡± Luav is bleeding and dying. No matter how much he is an 8th circle warlock who can fly and crawl, his opponent is the Witch of Balance, one of the Pentacles. Even in its perfect state, there was no way it could be an opponent, but now that it had consumed a significant amount of magical power, there was no way it could withstand Calliope¡¯s magic. ¡°great job.¡± ¡°You should have come a little earlier.¡± Calliope easily extracted Luave¡¯s magical energy from Dio¡¯s body, and Dio, who was finally relieved, expressed his dissatisfaction bluntly. ¡°Are you upset about this? Even if I see you like this, you came early. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear from Sepia?¡± I didn¡¯t even have time to listen. Dio even assumed the worst case scenario where Calliope¡¯s recovery went wrong and there was no help from her. ¡°Well, I wish I could have come now.¡± Thanks to this, his life was saved, so Dio could no longer blame Calliope. Rather, I¡¯m just curious as to why I came late. Dio tried to ask about this, but Luave¡¯s voice, who was on the brink of death, was heard in their conversation. ¡°I see¡­is the balance also broken?¡± Calliope and Dio turned to him. Did you feel the gaze? Luave looked at them with a smile on his face. ¡°Ha ha ha ha ha. ha ha ha!¡± Luave¡¯s behavior, laughing like crazy, was nothing short of creepy. Dio became very nervous at his actions. Because he may have left something behind like himself. ¡°Hey witch¡­you know that, right? ¡°It has begun.¡± Calliope just laughed quietly at Luave¡¯s words. Dio couldn¡¯t understand what Luave wanted to say, so he looked at Calliope as well. ¡°What started?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Calliope just shook her head in silence in response to Dio¡¯s question. In response, Luave continued speaking. ¡°Your forgotten history is repeating itself. Don¡¯t you know? You wouldn¡¯t be so foolish as to just dismiss it as a coincidence. ¡°Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk¡­?¡± Even while coughing up blood, Luave squeezed out the last of his strength. Calliope doesn¡¯t seem to want to talk about this. Because I just smiled quietly and looked at Luave. So Dio even more listened to Luave¡¯s words. ¡°The sun rises again¡­the great warrior protects the saint. And the master of darkness¡­.¡± Kwasik! Dio¡¯s wish to listen to Luave¡¯s words to the end did not come true. This is because Calliope blew off Luave¡¯s head. ¡°Now, should we clean up after ourselves?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Calliope said energetically, leaving Luav¡¯s horribly mangled body behind. Seeing that ruthless appearance, Dio swallowed the questions Luave had asked. Is Calliope hiding something? He wanted to know more about this, but Dio decided to follow her words and say he had to finish the job. First of all, Luave¡¯s body. There is something to be gained here. * * * ¡°Master!¡± ¡°Lord Calliope!¡± ¡°okay. Our cuties. ¡°You¡¯re safe.¡± Calliope smiled as she looked at Dio¡¯s extremely exhausted companions one by one. Those led by Key couldn¡¯t help but feel proud. ¡®They must have grown even further through this fight.¡¯ It was true that Calliope was late because she had something else to do. However, there was a sense that Key and his companions, who were just about to shine, had worked hard for their growth. The path to the sun that they must take will be much more difficult and dangerous, to the point that fighting Luave can be dismissed as ¡®just¡¯. Sepia awakens the power of a saint. And Evelyn and Roberto, who thought there was only a difference between shadow magic and blood magic, also reached the point where they could skillfully use the power of the sun. ¡°Hehehe.¡± Calliope stroked the head of her student who had only studied in the closet under her. How proud this is. Calliope had many witches who called her their teacher and followed her, but the only one she truly considered her disciple was Evelyn. And as expected, Evelyn pioneered her own path, led by the fate of the key. Perhaps, if Schuwald were here, he would feel the same way. ¡®Of course, the most important thing is the key¡­¡¯ Calliope looked at Dio, who was doing something while tending to the wounds of his disciples. He turned over Luave¡¯s crushed body and even tore off the hem of his robe. ¡®What are you doing?¡¯ Calliope was intrigued by Dio¡¯s unknown behavior and asked Dio, who had just finished work and returned. ¡°What are you going to use that for?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all useful.¡± As if what he said was no big deal, Dio opened the subspace and put things in it. ¡°Anyway, can you tell me why you were late? ¡°I almost died, as did everyone else, right?¡± ¡°Huh~ I had work to do too.¡± Like Dio, who avoided his own question, Calliope also ignored it. ¡®I don¡¯t think it would have mattered if it was a little later.¡¯ Calliope thought to herself as she watched Dio drinking the potion. The more you look at him, the more you don¡¯t know him. He is different from the disciples of Sepia and the Seven Stars. Complete without being perfect. There is a need for growth, but there is no need for growth. Above all¡­. I do not believe in the seven stars that are the ¡®key¡¯ and are closest to the sun. ¡®I guess they also had in mind the situation where I wouldn¡¯t come.¡¯ Calliope turned her gaze from Dio to her staff. A weapon created from a material called Balrog¡¯s horn. Thanks to this, Calliope was able to complete the work much faster than expected. Although my recovery was not complete, I was able to use long-distance teleportation without any burden thanks to the staff imbued with the power of Balrog. ¡®What to do now¡­¡¯ Calliope held her staff and drew a magic circle on the floor. Not only that, he additionally created dozens of dense and fine magic circles. ¡°What are you looking at? ¡°You have to do your job, right?¡± Calliope pointed somewhere with her chin towards Dio, who was staring at his work blankly. -These are people who collaborated with heresy. Arrest them all! -What are you doing? Even though they toasted victory after a long battle, the atmosphere of the Oaks Allied Forces was unusual. ¡°Oh my¡­¡± Dio, who had a rough idea of what the situation was, clicked his tongue and ran towards there. ¡°We¡¯ll go too!¡± Calliope simply waved her hand as she looked at the group hurriedly following behind her. * * * Artes has always deceived himself. He said he always acted with his family in mind. This was done to protect the peaceful eastern land. But I realized it only now. He was a coward. The family¡¯s complex family history and other hardships. I thought I was talented and blamed others. The same goes for running away from home. I wanted to one day tell those who ignored me, thinking that illusions were the truth, that they were wrong. But in the end, these actions were no different from excuses. Without talent, without the ability to take responsibility for everyone. Because he vaguely knew the truth, he ran away from his family. ¡®Dio¡­¡¯ Artes looked at Dio and his companions who were abandoning their bloody fight with the fearsome warlock from afar. They saved him from rampaging in Armin Forest without even knowing the subject and accepted him as a friend. By going with them, Ates gained confidence. A mission to subdue the Demon King¡¯s army. This was like the life of a warrior that Ates had once dreamed of. I wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Looking forward to the day when I become a hero that not only my family but the entire continent will envy. But all of this was his own illusion. I vowed to escape from Calco and fight with them. Artes did not lose his footing due to the majesty of the warlock who overwhelmed Dio¡¯s group and Ox¡¯s allied forces. What would change if you pulled out your sword? This is also an excuse. I¡¯m just afraid of dying. He ran away again, thinking that even if he helped them, he would only be a hindrance to them. ¡®Run away too. ¡®Why are you fighting!¡¯ Ates cried out inwardly as he watched Dio fight a warlock who seemed to have no chance of winning. The warlock¡¯s magic burned everything around him, and Ates was terrified just by feeling his magic energy from afar. ¡®We¡¯re all going to die¡­ Isn¡¯t it natural to avoid a battle you can¡¯t win? Rather, they are reckless!¡¯ While Ates was continuing his self-rationalization, an extraordinary event occurred. A heart that appeared with a dazzling glow¡­ no, sepia. With her cooperation, Dio¡¯s group cornered the warlock. ¡®That¡¯s ridiculous!¡¯ There was still a crisis, but they eventually defeated the fearsome warlock. Only then did Ates realize. That he doesn¡¯t fit in with them. Are you saying that you, a coward, dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with them? He doesn¡¯t even deserve to be called a colleague. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. No, perhaps they have never thought of themselves as colleagues. My shaking fists can¡¯t calm down. Because I feel so pathetic. Ates shed tears. I didn¡¯t want everyone to see my miserable appearance. So I turned my back on Ox and tried to say goodbye. But¡­ -Arrest those heretics! The cry of the Telzia inspector dispatched from the Holy Kingdom to the East. The Luna Church¡¯s inspector, who had been cooperative until now, suddenly changed. -It¡¯s not Luna¡¯s light! How blasphemous! They are all in the same boat! The inspector even blamed innocent villagers for sharing their power with the warlock. Artes was also vaguely aware of this. Dio¡¯s explanation that the Luna Church is openly wanted. And the sacred power that Sephia used when fighting the warlock was very different from that of the Luna Church. From the Luna Church¡¯s perspective, they could definitely be heretics. But what does that mean? Didn¡¯t he eventually defeat the warlock and save the villagers? And don¡¯t the villagers know that they were not helping the warlock, but were being robbed of their power? Or is he deliberately ignoring it? -What are you doing? -Drop your weapons! Ates couldn¡¯t believe what was happening before his eyes. Paladins and priests holding out their swords to their comrades who had just risked life and death together in battle. Despite the dissuasion of their family, the Bertio Knights, they captured people who had been cursed by a warlock and were out of their minds. -stop! -How dare you deceive me? I already figured out your lie! How dare you impersonate Luna¡¯s name? The Inspector and Paladins express hostility towards Dio, who came running late. Soon, they clashed swords and engaged in a fierce fight. Artes¡¯ anger rose again. This time, it wasn¡¯t anger towards my pathetic self. Even if Dio is a heretic according to the Luna Church¡¯s inspector. They took the lead in fighting against the warlock to protect everyone. The actions of the Luna Church, which only accuses people of using Luna¡¯s moon and other powers without trying to see the truth, are beyond disgusting. Is that really the Luna Church, which holds doctrines for the peace and well-being of the continent? ¡®I am a coward and a coward. But¡­¡¯ If he, Bertio¡¯s second son, accuses the Luna Church of what he did and defends Dio, problems will definitely arise in the family. People on the continent who did not see this incident in person will believe the words of the Luna Church. Perhaps they will end up in cahoots with the Luna Church, and to avoid this, Ates may be expelled from the family. However, Artes resolved not to run away this time. ¡®Even just once¡­ I will fight instead of running away.¡¯ I don¡¯t think he will become Dio¡¯s true friend just because of this. But I don¡¯t want to live a life that ignores the truth any longer. After making up his mind, Ates took a step forward and ran towards Dio. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 108 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 108Episode 108 ¡°Everyone stop!¡± Dio turned his head to the person shouting urgently. ¡®Athes? Wasn¡¯t Kalko taking you there?¡¯ Artes, who was running hurriedly as if he was in such a hurry, came right in front of Dio and fell off in an unsightly manner. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Captain¡­¡± Artes seemed to have made up his mind, but the sight of his broken nose bleeding was quite unsightly. ¡°Kalko, is that bastard gone? ¡°I didn¡¯t go with you, did I?¡± ¡°That¡­¡± Ates seemed a little angry at Calco, but was a little embarrassed at Dio, who treated him the same way. Even if he deserted the battlefield because of Calco, Ates was a person who abandoned his comrades and ran away. In fact, wasn¡¯t he afraid of the warlock so he couldn¡¯t come forward? Ates was prepared to get a slap for pointing this out, but Dio¡¯s attitude, which seemed completely unconcerned, made Ates¡¯ eyes turn red. Of course, Dio, who had no way of knowing how Ates felt, was only relieved that the second son of the Bertio family was now here. ¡°Kalko¡­ no, it¡¯s okay. Please speak carefully. ¡°It would be better for you to talk than for us.¡± Dio pointed to the Luna Church, which was making a fuss. ¡°You ignorant people, how dare you stand in the way of someone!¡± The current scene was complete chaos. Everyone was exhausted, and Telzia did not attend to the injured or collect the dead. They were even arresting the villagers one by one who had lost their souls due to being Mana Eater by Luave. Everyone, regardless of whether they are elderly or children. Among them were children with whom Ates often played, so he came out indignant. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Oh my! Damn you guys! ¡°Can¡¯t you solve it right now?¡± ¡°¡­It¡¯s the church¡¯s job. The Bertio family must no longer interfere in our affairs.¡± One of the Holy Knights pushed away the charging Ates, and the Vertio knights who saw this did not stay still. ¡°Master Ates!¡± ¡°I know who he is!¡± The knights who joined the Ox as a latecomer immediately looked at Ates and rushed towards the paladin to protect his safety. ¡°People enchanted by black magic must be evacuated to the Holy Kingdom. ¡°This means they are no longer civilians.¡± ¡°Anyone wants!¡± ¡°These are the guidelines of the Luna Church.¡± ¡°Ox is the land of the East! Don¡¯t you know that what happens here is the Bertio family¡¯s business?¡± ¡°Since the opponent is a warlock, the intervention of the Luna Church takes priority. Even if it is the Bertio family.¡± To the paladins and priests dispatched from the Holy Kingdom of Atra, Telzia¡¯s shout was not just an excessive force. It doesn¡¯t matter to them whether the villagers of Oaks cooperated with the warlock or were merely victims. This is because it was an order from the Holy Kingdom of Atra to place those who were innocently harmed by warlocks in the category of heretics. ¡°Didn¡¯t you guys see it too? ¡°Haven¡¯t you seen the magic of Luave yourself!¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. The saint¡¯s words are the doctrine of the Luna Church. ¡°We just carry out orders.¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t the saint who ordered it, but the inspector!¡± ¡°¡­The inspector is the saint¡¯s representative.¡± How on earth was he brainwashed? Ates was speechless due to the firmness of the Holy Knights from the Holy Kingdom. Dio watched this and sighed. I tried it just in case, but Bertio didn¡¯t even flinch from his second son¡¯s words. ¡®I knew a long time ago that it was tight and inflexible, but¡­¡¯ Dio recalled the time when he joined hands with the Luna Church to fight against the Demon King. Even back then, Dio stuck out his tongue at the paladins who unconditionally followed the words of Saint Kaleina. If a saint tells them to take their own lives, they are the ones who will obey that order. If you are an ally, it would be nice to have blindly loyal subordinates, but if you confront them as enemies, there is no answer. ¡°Catch that guy first! That rotten thing!¡± Dio looked at Telzia who was making a fuss and pointing at him. Fortunately, the knights Attes and Bertio were blocking the gap between them, so the paladins did not rush in easily. They were always ready to capture Dio. ¡®What happens if we fight the Luna Church now?¡¯ The casualties of the Ox Allied Forces due to Luave were more than half. However, the priests led by Telzia only healed the paladins with their remaining divine power. Thanks to this, the Paladins¡¯ power is superior to that of the Bertio family¡¯s knights. However, even if Dio fought the Luna Church head-on here, it seemed unlikely that he would lose. Even though he is exhausted, that number is not enough to be a problem for Dio. Plus, there¡¯s Calliope who killed Luave, so what¡¯s there to be afraid of? However, although it is easy to kill, it is difficult to subdue it. No matter how hostile Telzia is, they are priests. It was better to persuade them than to kill the priest and settle the matter later. ¡®It¡¯s complicated. Still, rather than running away like this¡­¡¯ Dio took a close look at one person in the midst of the confrontation between the knights and paladins that had reached a critical situation. A person who is restless and unable to stand on anyone¡¯s side. He was none other than Conrad, the head of the Holy Knights of the Eastern Diocese. ¡°Lord Conrad!¡± Dio called him without delay. Then he was startled and looked at Dio, who had called him. ¡°Do you really think the church¡¯s actions are right?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± During the fight with the demonic beasts, Dio understood Konrad¡¯s personality. Unlike the clergy of the Holy Kingdom, he is not a person whose religious beliefs border on brainwashing. A person who possesses a lot of divine power, but strangely, his faith is not strong and he is realistic. Even because of Conrad¡¯s presence, Dio was unable to kill the Luna Church in front of him. This means that at least one person in the group is normal. ¡®It¡¯s best to suppress them without killing them.¡¯ Until the continent learns Luna¡¯s true nature, excessive actions must be avoided as much as possible. The crime of murdering a priest is a very dangerous thing. In the end, only Konrad is the one who can capture Telzia in a just cause here. ¡®He tends to avoid responsibility, but that doesn¡¯t mean he¡¯s irresponsible for what happens¡­¡¯ Dio approached Konrad, who was still hesitant, and opened his mouth once again. ¡°Aren¡¯t you in charge of this place? You can choose. ¡°Act on what you see and feel!¡± ¡°Whew-¡± Conrad sighed. He is a person who pursues an easy life. However, I couldn¡¯t ignore the events that occurred here just for my own sake. No, on the contrary, I would feel uncomfortable if I evaded responsibility and went back. Because he was the leader of the Holy Knights, but before that he was a human. Sreung- Conrad put the sword stained with the blood of the demon beasts in his belt and opened his mouth to the paladins. ¡°Everyone, lower your weapons.¡± ¡°Lord Conrad!¡± Telzia shouted at Conrad¡¯s remarks. However, Conrad did not back down from Telzia¡¯s words this time. ¡°Inspector Telzia! The person in charge here is me. We killed the warlock Luav here and there are no more enemies. ¡°This is my judgment.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± In response to Konrad¡¯s resolute will, several of the paladins and priests who had risked life and death in this fight also lowered their weapons. ¡°Iik! Don¡¯t be funny! This is treason! How dare you go against the saint¡¯s orders!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t listen to me with this nonsense, I will enforce it by force.¡± ¡°Just the leader of the Holy Knights of the Eastern Diocese! ¡°If you can, do it!¡± ¡°Arrest Inspector Telzia for disobeying orders!¡± Half of the paladins who followed Telzia¡¯s orders from Conrad followed his words. This was because they were also impressed by Dio¡¯s group who were active in this battle. The problem is the holy knights and priests who were dispatched to the east with Telzia. They stood on Telzia¡¯s side until the end, and soon a fight broke out between the Luna Church, which was divided into two groups. ¡°Help them!¡± Artes also did not stay still. He instructed the knights who were still able to move to help Conrad. ¡°Hold Telzia!¡± ¡°How dare you do something like an eastern flutter!¡± Puck! Puck! Craddangtang! The two camps quickly developed into a gang fight. The good news is that they did not use weapons because they had no intention of killing each other. Thanks to this, the crude fistfight between the paladins and knights made the arena even more chaotic. ¡°Tsk, just put the restraints on me and leave.¡± Dio, who was watching their fight, grumbled about Calliope, who was with him just moments ago. She drew a magic circle on the floor and disappeared in an instant. ¡°Dio. No, boss. I will take responsibility for this. ¡°Why don¡¯t you leave?¡± Ates approached Dio and spoke to him. ¡°That¡¯s not a bad choice, but wouldn¡¯t it make them look more suspicious?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The captain protected Ox. ¡°I saw firsthand the extermination of warlocks.¡± Ates tapped his chest hard as if asking him to leave it to him. ¡°We will do our best to protect the captain from the Luna Church as much as possible.¡± ¡°I know you¡¯re Bertio¡¯s second son, but¡­you ran away from home.¡± Artes spoke confidently to give his own trust. However, contrary to his intentions, Dio could not hide his distrustful expression. It cannot be said that Ates has no influence, but it is true that he does not seem to be very trustworthy considering his position within the family. ¡°¡­Of course, I don¡¯t think they will necessarily listen to me running away from home and causing accidents. but! ¡°The head of the family doesn¡¯t like the Luna Church very much.¡± Ates said, thinking of the head of Bertio, that is, her father. The reason why the Luna Church¡¯s power is smaller in the eastern region than in other regions is also because of Bertio¡¯s headship. ¡®Indeed¡­ if it is Bertio who was uncooperative with Ates¡¯s words and Luna from the beginning.¡¯ Dio thought that Artes¡¯ recommendation to leave immediately was not a bad idea. All the errands here have already been completed. Ates is responsible for and defends everything that goes beyond the eyes of the Luna Church. ¡®Even so, I don¡¯t think we can easily put that mess to rest.¡¯ Dio made a decision as he saw Telzia¡¯s group gnashing their teeth and making a mess. Aside from impersonating the Moonwalker of the Luna Church, if you encounter additional members of the Luna Church while possessing the power of the sun, the problem will increase. Rumbling! The moment Dio was about to say goodbye to Ates, the ground shook and a storm of mana raged around him. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Could it be another warlock?¡± The knights and paladins who were fist fighting also stopped their actions due to this tremendous energy. And amazing things began to happen in the places they focused on. Wow ¨C a huge arch door created in an instant out of nowhere. The arch door opened and fully armed knights began to walk out. They were all wearing fancy blue cloaks, and on their shoulders were lion-shaped brooches that appeared to be made of silver. ¡°First Knight Commander?¡± ¡°Even the 3rd Knight Commander! ¡°What about here?¡± Bertio¡¯s soldiers each shouted at the appearance of a knight commander rather than an ordinary knight. Among the knights who were each giving off tremendous force, there was one who boasted an overwhelming presence. Among the knights wearing armor with the lion symbol engraved on it, there was one who boasted an overwhelming presence. ¡°father?¡± Artes opened his mouth as he looked at the dignified man walking forward. Not only Ates was surprised by this, but Dio was also surprised. It was surprising that the head of the family of Bertio came in person, but I was once again surprised by Calliope, who appeared escorted by the so-called king of the East. A magic circle created by Calliope. It was clear that the magic circle had summoned that arch door. ¡®Whew, was the reason you were late to call them over?¡¯ Dio sighed as he saw Calliope, who noticed his gaze, playfully waving her hand. I guess I won¡¯t be able to plan to leave. The good news, though, is that Telzia can¡¯t go on a rampage anymore since the head of the family has appeared in person. ¡®It¡¯ll be solved pretty easily.¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 109 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 109Episode 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. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. 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. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 110 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 110Episode 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. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. 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. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 111 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 111Episode 111: The lordly castle of the Duke of Bertio was larger and wider than any other castle in the East. In particular, the square with the lion statue inside the fortress was one of the busiest streets on the continent. This place, so-called ¡®Eastern Street¡¯, was home to the largest guilds in the East, including an overwhelmingly large market. In addition, the salon, a social gathering place for prominent nobles from the eastern region and nobles from all over the empire, was also a crowded place. ¡°Did you see the soldiers who returned to the compound yesterday?¡± ¡°I heard he was seriously injured and died.¡± ¡°Oh my. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Currently, not only Bertio but the entire eastern region was in an uproar due to yesterday¡¯s events. ¡°What on earth is going on?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear the story? Warlocks appeared in a small village on the outskirts. ¡°As many as 100 people!¡± ¡°No, I heard there were 200 people.¡± ¡°200 people? ¡°What kind of country are you planning to destroy?¡± ¡°I heard they were the ones who destroyed the North.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, shouldn¡¯t the center have sent troops?¡± Rumors tend to be exaggerated. However, even if it was not exaggerated, it was an unmistakable fact that the warlock who invaded Ox was the infamous Ruave Delakiel. Considering the size of the warlocks and beasts he leads, the rumor is not entirely false. Anyway, when people who had no way of knowing the details were just inflating rumors, one piece of good news came. ¡°hey! ¡°Soldiers who fought in Oaks came to the tavern!¡± ¡°really? ¡°Which house is it?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go quickly!¡± People moved around after hearing the news of the visit of soldier Bertio, who must have witnessed the whole truth. The place where they gathered was a tavern called ¡®Autumn Morning¡¯ in the middle of the eastern street. Bertio¡¯s soldiers were seated at a large table among the crowded people. He seemed to be enjoying his vacation after completing his investigation into what happened in Oaks and being recognized for his role in defeating the warlock. Their first getaway was here on an autumn morning at the best tavern on the East Side. ¡°There were demon beasts everywhere ¨C and that¡¯s when I got angry!¡± ¡°Oooh!¡± In response to the barrage of questions from people, one soldier was half-heartedly reenacting the situation. Of course, with a little bit of exaggeration. But people took them at their word. That¡¯s because the people showing off their martial arts skills now are soldiers trained by the Bertio family with excellent swordsmanship skills. It is not for nothing that Bertio is called a master of swordsmanship. Even ordinary soldiers who have undergone high-intensity training have considerable combat power. Did they want to tell people what happened because they couldn¡¯t believe that they had survived the battle with Ox? ¡°Hmm. ¡°I wonder what happened there¡­.¡± The other soldiers, who were trying to take a decent break, began to tell their stories one by one. ¡°Aren¡¯t you just inflating rumors for no reason?¡± Among them, a senior soldier who seemed to have a certain status spoke with concern. ¡°why. Isn¡¯t this okay? ¡°It¡¯s about spreading the family¡¯s reputation.¡± ¡°Well, there was no order to keep it a secret¡­¡± The senior soldier nodded and agreed to their words. There was no need to hide their achievements. The other colleagues sitting at the table next to me had already started to tell the details of what had happened to the other guests. ¡°I heard that there is also help from the Luna Church. Is it real?¡± ¡°We fought together. But we almost all died because of those guys!¡± A soldier shouted indignantly while answering one person¡¯s question. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± ¡°No, well. You tried to attack the mercenary who saved us by accusing him of being a heretic? ¡°There are warlocks and demonic beasts right in front of me!¡± ¡°A mercenary?¡± ¡°Oh yeah. I don¡¯t know the exact grade. But it was like S-rank.¡± ¡°Are you saying that an S-rank mercenary participated in this battle?¡± ¡°It was absolutely crazy. ¡°I was running all over the place among the hordes of demonic beasts!¡± ¡°Besides, we fought while shooting something similar to a sword.¡± ¡°Sword energy? No way. ¡°You must have seen it wrong.¡± ¡°No, it was definitely sword energy. ¡°That¡¯s for sure.¡± ¡°So¡­the mercenary has reached the level of sword master?¡± The soldiers began to praise the mercenary, whose performance could not be compared to their own. ¡°Well, if it wasn¡¯t for that guy, we would all have died.¡± ¡°You go around with the master. What is your relationship?¡± As the soldiers¡¯ stories were exchanged, the people who listened to their stories began to get to know each other. They were not ordinary customers who came to the tavern. They were guild informants who had already heard about what happened to the Bertio family. Adventurer Merchant Information Guild members from all fields have gathered on the streets of the eastern part of the country to learn the truth about the Ox incident. ¡°This is special information.¡± ¡°A mercenary who radiates sword energy who protected the eastern land¡­¡± ¡°Is your name Diamond?¡± ¡°They say the invading warlock is that Luave.¡± A warrior who defeated the infamous warlock Luave Delakiel. A mercenary group that protected the eastern lands. Their story quickly spread from Bertio to the entire continent. Not only that, the Luna Church¡¯s behavior as testified by Bertio¡¯s soldiers also created a lot of rumors. ¡°Well, you were trying to capture all the poor country people?¡± ¡°You chased down a heretic with a warlock right in front of you?¡± ¡°So you¡¯re not even a Heretic Questioner!¡± Basically, the only people who can exercise the Inquisition are clergy at the level of bishop or higher. In addition, summary judgment is solely the authority of the Inquisitor. It was natural for people to express their anger at Telzia¡¯s status, whose top priority was to save people from warlocks. ¡°As expected, I can¡¯t trust the Luna Church guys.¡± ¡°As long as the Bertio family protects us, we don¡¯t need them!¡± ¡°So you¡¯re a warrior, not a mercenary? Hahaha! ¡°A hero has appeared in the East!¡± Is it because the people of the East did not have deep religious beliefs about the Luna Church in the first place? Or is it because the church¡¯s doctrine of protecting the continent has fallen drastically? People who were disappointed by the Luna Church, which had abandoned its citizens, praised the Bertio Duke family. In addition, it also includes the story of a mercenary group wandering the eastern part of the country and showing heroic deeds. * * * ¡°Hmm¡­.¡± Dalimus was troubled by the incident that occurred in Ox. This incident was deeply related to the Bertio family. Bertio¡¯s troops, who had engaged in combat with the warlocks, gathered at Oaks while searching for the second son who had run away from home. ¡®Is it coincidence or fate?¡­¡¯ Ox is one of the bases of Calliope, who is revered as ¡®mother¡¯ by the Bertio family. Of course, Dalimus did not know this fact until he heard it from Calliope. ¡®Legends are real.¡¯ Calliope is nothing short of a living legend. However, until she came, I thought Dalimus was just a legendary being given to me by my ancestors. ¡®Mother¡¯ is the person who received grace from the first head of the family who founded the family. She left a few words in return for helping to establish the family. The moon that rules the world will one day bring chaos to the continent, and the lion must avoid their eyes and build strength for the sun to rise someday. And keep an eye on the ¡®Key¡¯, a faithful believer in the sun. With the terrifying words that if he does not listen to his words, the Bertio family¡¯s reputation will not last long. Therefore, these words were passed down from generation to generation to the next Bertio family heads. So even before ruling the East, the Bertio family deliberately avoided contact with the Luna Church. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was because they knew that the ¡®moon¡¯ given by their ancestors was the Luna Church. ¡®We must help the ¡®Key¡¯, whether to repay the favor of ¡®Mother¡¯ or for the sake of the family.¡¯ Dalimus stroked his chin and thought deeply. Because he knew that Calliope would come someday, Dalimus was able to remain calm despite Calliope¡¯s sudden visit. Of course, he internally smiled bitterly at the fact that this legend came to visit his college. ¡®Matriarch¡¯, ¡®Witch of Balance¡¯ and ¡®Key¡¯. Until now, the Bertio family had only been interested in activities within the eastern region. But now the world is in turmoil. It was time to go out to the East and reach out to the world. ¡®How should I help him¡­¡¯ Dalimus also heard and knows what rumors are circulating outside. The emergence of a hero who protected the East from the warlock. People who rely on ¡®heroes¡¯ rather than ¡®gods¡¯. Dalimus had to face the coming legend with a person named Dio, even out of consideration for the public sentiment in the East. -I don¡¯t know much about that either. Hey kid. Because he is the person closest to the sun, which is about to rise, but also the person farthest away. Calliope did not give clear instructions. No, it would be more correct to say that it was not possible. Even my mother, who seemed to know everything about everything in the world, was unable to understand one person named Dio. ¡®I should give you something special as a reward for going beyond Ox and saving the East¡­¡¯ I don¡¯t know what Dio needs right now. But you should also check Dalimus. Dalimus is not a person who just listens to stories about old times and his legendary mother and acts without thinking. While giving the primary reward, Dalimus decided to find out what kind of person Dio was. If you have confidence in yourself, you can do the next task without worry. If Dio is a person who does not live up to expectations¡­ or if he is a person who puts the Bertio family in danger, Dalimus has no choice but to think differently. Because that was the weight of the family that was carrying Bertio, or the entire East Coast. ¡®Of course, that would be a good reward. And¡­¡¯ Dalius finally made a decision. * * * The story of Ox did not spread only among Bertio soldiers. The story of Ox, which began there, was passed down by various guild members to nobles who wanted information. And nobles also exchanged stories they had heard at social gatherings and discussed what was the truth. A horse without feet can travel a thousand miles. It is natural that the series of events that occurred in Oaks quickly spread across the East and to the capital of the empire. The imperial palace has stricter security than any other place. The emperor¡¯s throne room was located on the uppermost floor. ¡°I heard quite an interesting story from the East.¡± The emperor, who was sitting on a throne whose armrests were decorated with dragon heads, opened his mouth. An emperor with fierce eyes like an eagle. He had a weight that could not be compared with other leaders. After all, he is a solemn emperor who has ruled the entire central continent for 30 years. ¡°Against that Luave. ¡°Bertio got through it well.¡± Currently, there were only two people in the throne room. Why is it that not even a single member of the imperial guard can be seen where the emperor conducts business? It was because of one person facing the emperor. ¡°I heard it too. your majesty.¡± A man who answers without a hint of nervousness even though he is in front of the emperor, the most powerful person on the continent. The aura he gave off was very different from the weight of an emperor. However, he was someone who possessed an energy comparable to that of the emperor¡­no, even more than that. The first sword of Freud¡¯s empire. Captain of the Imperial Guard directly under the Imperial Household. Commander of the knights guarding the emperor, guardian of the empire, hero of the southern highlands¡­ There were many different qualifiers, but it was possible to condense them into shorter words. Sword Master. Gunter. A man who can be argued to be by far the strongest among martial artists who are renowned throughout the continent. It is no exaggeration to say that he was the envy of all knights. ¡°From what I heard, the mercenary who defeated Ruave knows how to use sword techniques¡­¡± Naturally, the story the emperor and Gunther were talking about was about the events of Ox that took place in the east. However, the topic of their story was not the warlock or the Bertio family. A mercenary who is rumored to have contributed greatly to helping the Bertio family defeat the warlock. The fact that they defeated the 8th Circle warlock Luav was surprising, but there was something else they were paying attention to. ¡°The state of being able to emit sword energy¡­can you be considered a sword master?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± There is no end to all realms. However, among warriors who use swords, those who are close to the end are given a special title. That is the Sword Master. ¡°I heard you are quite young¡­ Has anyone in history reached the rank of Sword Master at that age?¡± ¡°As far as I know, none.¡± The age of the rumored mercenary was the emperor, who I heard was similar to the second son of the Bertio family. If he has reached the level of a sword master in such a short period of time, it can be said that he has emerged as the most talented swordsman in the history of the continent. ¡°I¡¯m curious. ¡°His talent.¡± The emperor stopped talking and looked at Gunther intently. The emperor knew without having to say anything. Gunther would also be curious about the talent of the mercenary who reached Sword Master. ¡°Hehe, what do you think? Would you like to go and check it yourself?¡± At the emperor¡¯s words, Gunther simply bowed his head quietly. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 112 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 112Episode 112: Rattle ¨C Rattle ¨C ¡°Please get off.¡± The carriage carrying Dio and his group came to a halt, shaking greatly. Currently, Dio, who had been recuperating for several days, was on his way to meet Dalimus when he called him. Although they had to move quite a bit from the mansion they were living in, Dio and the others were able to quickly get to his location because the head of the family personally sent a carriage. ¡°Ah, my butt hurts.¡± ¡°¡­How can you ride a luxury carriage if your butt hurts? ¡°Aren¡¯t you fat because you¡¯ve been lying down and eating cake?¡± ¡°Someone gained weight!¡± Ignoring the bickering companions, Dio looked closely at the wheels of the carriage that had not traveled that far and then raised his head at the sight of someone. ¡°hello. ¡°It is an honor to serve you at the duke¡¯s command.¡± Dio¡¯s eyes lit up at the sight of the chamberlain smiling kindly. Because this is someone you know well. ¡®He¡¯s the guy who was assisting the bastard Lennon.¡¯ The time when the player comes into contact with the Bertio family is later than the present. So, Dio is seeing Dalimus for the first time, and the Bertio matriarch he sees is nothing but the bastard Lennon. And the chamberlain who was assisting him had also met Dio many times. ¡®The chamberlain remains the same, but Dalimus will soon hand over the position of head of the family.¡¯ Even though I haven¡¯t seen Dalimus in person in the game, I¡¯ve heard stories about him. From the chamberlain right in front of you. One-pointed swordsmanship. A single-minded swordsman who is only interested in swordsmanship. A swordsman strong enough to be ranked among the top five in the empire. It was said that since he only knew the sword, he entrusted politics and internal administration to the chamberlain. I heard that in addition to the chamberlain, there were excellent aides and the duchess on their behalf, so it wasn¡¯t that big of a problem¡­ ¡®There¡¯s not even a year difference between the game and now. Dalimus died in the meantime.¡¯ Going forward, we need to deepen our relationship with Bertio. In such a situation, it is best for Dalimus to remain as the head of the family for a long time or for Ates to become the head of the family. The situation is such that it is necessary to prevent the eldest son, Zenon, from becoming the next head of the family. But Dio wasn¡¯t too worried. ¡®I know how he died. I¡¯ll have to think about how to get it.¡¯ While I was thinking, I heard the chamberlain¡¯s voice. ¡°Please follow me.¡± ¡°Ah yes.¡± Dio and his companions followed behind the chamberlain who guided Dalimus. The reason Dalimus called was to officially recognize Ox¡¯s contribution and reward him for it. ¡®It¡¯s compensation¡­ I¡¯ll take it if you give it to me, but I don¡¯t really need anything financially.¡¯ Money and items are not all you can get from Bertio. ¡®Then do you think that would be good?¡¯ * * * ¡°okay. ¡°You had a hard time coming.¡± Currently, the only person Dalimus recommends to sit down is Dio, who represents the group. ¡°no. ¡°Thanks to you for sending the carriage, we are here.¡± Dio entered the luxurious living room and sat on the chair facing Dalimus, who was at the head of the table. And the chamberlain who guided Dio did not leave the room, but stood next to Dalimus as if assisting him. This was what Dio expected. If Dalimus lacks administrative skills, he will carry out his duties with one or two aides. ¡°Are you feeling okay?¡± ¡°Yes, thanks to your attention, it has improved a lot.¡± Formal greetings began to be exchanged, and Dalimus immediately got to the point. ¡°I want to thank you for saving Ox and protecting my son. ¡°Is there anything you want?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio had already thought about what to say about the compensation. ¡°It¡¯s compensation¡­ I¡¯d be lying if I said I didn¡¯t want anything. ¡°There are three things I want from the matriarch.¡± ¡°Hoo, three things.¡± Dalimus looked surprised at Dio¡¯s words. The other person is the key that my mother mentioned. Because of that, a preconceived notion was created that he would be special. Dalimus knew that even if it was just empty words, the reward would be okay. However, since greed is necessary to achieve great things, his request is not an action that cannot be understood. Dalimus grinned, as if he liked Dio¡¯s boldness in speaking without turning back. ¡°Tell me this. ¡°I will do whatever the family can do.¡± ¡°¡­Duke.¡± When Dalimus readily accepted the answer, the chamberlain tried to dissuade him. ¡°The mercenary in front of me has clearly done something great, but his identity is unclear. ¡°I know the duke¡¯s distribution is large, but I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any need to grant my request.¡± The chamberlain¡¯s elegant words pierced Dalimus¡¯s ears. You would think that a mercenary with no identity would ask for compensation without even knowing the subject. There was certainly some truth in what the Chamberlain said. Dio¡¯s identity was simply that of a wandering mercenary. Nevertheless, Dalimus did not conduct a deep investigation into his identity. This is because only Dalimus knows that his identity is the key that Bertio¡¯s mother had mentioned. Since only he needs to know his identity, Dalimus cleared his throat and opened his mouth to the chamberlain. ¡°There is no need to worry about the author¡¯s identity.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°I guarantee it. ¡°I know the Chamberlain is worried about me, but please trust me this time.¡± Dio was once again curious about the relationship between Calliope and Bertio, but now he focused on the task at hand and opened his mouth. Dio¡¯s three demands. To summarize it: First, Duke Bertio will rebuild Ox Village, which was damaged by the warlock, and cure the curse of those who were cursed. The second request is to look favorably on the treatment of Ates, who left home. Third, the movement of the warlocks may be a sign that the sealed demon king has been resurrected, so the eastern border should be strengthened further. Dalimus, who heard all the demands, made an expression that he did not understand. ¡°Is this really everything you want?¡± ¡°This is more than enough.¡± S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Huh¡­¡± Dalimus muttered, ¡®As expected, my eyes were right,¡¯ and pursed his lips as if proud. This is the reaction Dio expected. That¡¯s because none of the three demands are compensation for yourself. It makes too much sense to view this as compensation. ¡®You probably think of him as someone with little greed and knowledge of honor.¡¯ Dio, who caught the corner of Dalimus¡¯s mouth twitching, also laughed to himself. ¡®indeed. ¡®I¡¯m unmanned to the core.¡¯ Dio didn¡¯t just meet Dalimus with a sober mind. Two days to recover before meeting him. Meanwhile, Dio gathered as much information as he could about Dalimus. Through the maids and guards who take care of him. They said in unison: Dalimus is a great warrior and especially adheres to the spirit of chivalry. So Dio deliberately made a request that promoted the future without directly benefiting it. If Bertio, who maintains the power of Ates, whom he is close with, and has a good relationship with, strengthens the eastern part, it will be of great help to Dio. ¡°The request you mentioned¡­there is no reason not to grant it. ¡°That¡¯s what I wanted to do from the beginning.¡± ¡°Duke!¡± The moment Dalimus was about to accept, the chamberlain next to him urgently called the duke. ¡°Please reconsider again. ¡°The author¡¯s request is quite dangerous from the family¡¯s perspective.¡± ¡°What does that mean?¡± ¡°There is no need for us to bear the burden of damage caused by warlocks. ¡°If you make a formal request to the Luna Church, they will lend a hand.¡± ¡°¡­You mean the Luna Church?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this author currently suspected of being a heretic by the Luna Church? Speaking of which, we must cooperate with the Luna Church for the future of our family.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± ¡°I know very well that the Duke does not view the Luna Church favorably, but I think cooperation with the Luna Church is necessary even now.¡± The mayor¡¯s advice that changes are needed according to the situation. Dalimus seemed to think about this for a moment. I¡¯m not thinking about the mayor¡¯s opinion. The existence of Calliope is known only to the head of Vertio. And since she can¡¯t tell the chamberlain the story passed down from her and her ancestors, she¡¯s wondering what words to persuade him with. Meanwhile, Dio watched the conversation between Dalimus and the chamberlain and quickly made up his mind. ¡®He¡¯s a tough opponent for a guy who only wields a sword.¡¯ The chamberlain was a person of some status within the family. That is why Dalimus also does not ignore his words. ¡®In that case, I have no choice but to deal with it.¡¯ Dio spoke to the Chamberlain on behalf of Dalimus, who seemed reluctant to think about complicated things. ¡°I guess the Duke family is having a hard time these days?¡± ¡°what? ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°I had no idea what the financial status of the dukedom was. ¡°I thought it would be easy for the most prestigious family in the East to agree to the conditions I mentioned.¡± ¡°¡­What kind of safety are you talking about? How dare you disrespect the dukedom? Rebuilding a small village and strengthening troops is an easy task. But I am against it because there is no need for it! The devil is being resurrected? under! ¡°Where can you make such foolish remarks!¡± The chamberlain was furious, thinking that Dio was insulting the dukedom. Nevertheless, Dio leisurely opened his mouth again. ¡°is it so? I thought I was against it because I had no money. Or is it perhaps a waste?¡± ¡°what?¡± * * * The ¡®old fox¡¯ of the Bertio family. This is the nickname the player gave the chamberlain. Dio watched the Chamberlain closely from the beginning. I don¡¯t know what it is like now, but when he was next to Lennon, the chamberlain was a very greedy person. The bastard matriarch who led the prestigious family of Bertio down the path of downfall. And next to him is the chamberlain, who is aiming for the family¡¯s enormous wealth. Well¡­I don¡¯t know what happened now, but Hans, a merchant who also coveted that wealth. Dio was able to vividly remember the picture because he had always seen it when developing scenarios related to Bertio. ¡®Still, it looks like you¡¯re careful about your behavior in front of the head of the family. Actually, if Dalimus didn¡¯t trust me, I wouldn¡¯t have given him the position of chamberlain.¡¯ Dio already knew that the chamberlain was a very cunning person. Players didn¡¯t like him very much because he was a man who freely expressed his greed on the back of the head of the family. Dio just watched in silence as the chamberlain tried to persuade the head of the family with brilliant speech. ¡®The three demands I mentioned will not be welcomed by you.¡¯ Even though Dio is not directly given compensation, his request ultimately requires Bertio¡¯s wealth to be spent externally. The Chamberlain is a man who absolutely hates sharing Bertio¡¯s wealth due to the actions of outsiders. Because Bertio¡¯s property is money that he manages directly, and he thinks that it is money that he will own someday. But there was something the chamberlain did not know. To him, Dio is a suspicious mercenary whose identity is unclear, but to the head of the family, he is not. When the Duke directly asserted that there was no problem with Dio¡¯s health, he was clearly embarrassed. The chamberlain¡¯s eyes trembled and he began to look at Dio with eyes that were different from the first time. ¡®I guess things aren¡¯t going as planned?¡¯ Although they only exchanged a few words, Dio immediately understood how the chamberlain was treating the Duke Bertio. The Chamberlain is a person who possesses the passive [Flexible Persuasion]. I know that he used that ability to lure those around him and steal the assets of the Bertio family little by little. Dio made a laughable expression at the chamberlain, who was looking at him with a different look than before. ¡°The road to get there wasn¡¯t very good. Even though I took the carriage they sent, it was really uncomfortable.¡± ¡°¡­What does that mean?¡± ¡°I should have known that the financial status of the dukedom was so bad that even the road to the lord¡¯s castle was not properly maintained.¡± ¡°What about the road?¡± Dalimus looked like he was hearing Dio¡¯s words for the first time, and only then did he understand Dio¡¯s intention. ¡®You don¡¯t want the money you were supposed to be wasting to go somewhere else, right?¡¯ Then, what about the corruption and embezzlement that the mayor has committed so far on a large and small scale? Once all of this is revealed, it will be easily resolved. As expected, the mayor¡¯s face turned pale. Seeing that, Dio gave the chamberlain a leisurely smile. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 113 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 113Episode 113 ¡®How does this guy do that?¡¯ The chamberlain broke into a cold sweat as he watched the head of the family, Bertio, notice him. The Chamberlain was siphoning off the budget allocated to the internal affairs of the Duke of Bertio little by little. It was easy for him to carry out the work secretly from the head of the family, Bertio, who only knew the sword. For now, the chamberlain worked like a dog for the family. It is easy to commit corruption only if you have the absolute trust of the head of the family. The chamberlain regarded the huge Duchy of Bertio as his own treasure trove. Although they say they steal it ¡®little by little¡¯, considering the status of the Bertio family, they were able to accumulate a huge amount of wealth with just that amount. ¡®That guy¡­ didn¡¯t you say he was more skilled than knights?¡¯ The roads around Manor Bertio were paved to an ¡®adequate¡¯ level. Vertio knights, including Dalimus, who were trained with swords, would not be uncomfortable with this. However, compared to the estates of other prestigious nobles, the street condition cannot be said to be good. Even though the budget allocated for the street maintenance project was incomparably larger than that of other noble families. ¡°Duke. I guess there was some misunderstanding. ¡°Because construction was delayed for a while due to other work¡­¡± When Dalimus looked at him demanding an explanation, the chamberlain made a hasty excuse. If you make a mistake, the plans you have made so far will end up in vain. Why have you been trying so hard to gain the trust of the head of the family? If you have solidified your position in the Bertio family, including the head of the family. He was able to make his eldest son his successor. If a bastard becomes the head of the Bertio family, then it will be his world. If that stupid bastard is the head of the family, he can freely steal Bertio¡¯s property without worrying about others. That¡¯s why he opposed Dio¡¯s request to reduce Ates¡¯ punishment. This was the conduct of the Chamberlain, who was a powerful figure in the ¡®Lennon-supporting faction¡¯. But everything was in danger of going to waste. ¡®What do we do? ¡®Can I avoid suspicion with the excuse I just gave?¡¯ Dalimus is not interested in anything other than the sword, but he is by no means stupid. As a duke, he learned all kinds of studies besides swordsmanship from a young age. The chief chamberlain, who thought he would definitely be questioned about this matter, became dark in front of his eyes. Perhaps because I was pointed out by a mercenary with no fundamentals in an unexpected way, I can¡¯t even speak properly. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Dalimus, who found this even more suspicious, was about to open his mouth. Ironically, the one who saved the Chamberlain was the mercenary he had ignored. ¡°Oh, I guess I misunderstood. Still, I don¡¯t need anything other than the three demands I mentioned earlier.¡± ¡°¡­Even if I give you gold coins?¡± At the mercenary¡¯s words, Dalimus¡¯ gaze moves to him. ¡®My heart feels like it¡¯s going to explode!¡¯ It was fortunate for the chamberlain, but he was even less able to understand the mercenary¡¯s actions. And the falling mercenary¡¯s horse. ¡°If you are going to give me personal compensation, I would like to receive something other than gold.¡± ¡°What is that?¡± Dalimus¡¯ eyes became interesting again. The chamberlain who had been assisting him until now was very unfamiliar with him making this kind of expression. Are you trying to make fun of your own feelings? ¡°I want to experience the best swordsmanship in the East.¡± ¡°what?¡± ¡°The matriarch¡¯s swordsmanship.¡± His words that will shock the head of the family, Bertio, who has paved and walked the path of nothingness all his life. The chamberlain could tell. That this guy is like a snake that can eat himself. * * * ¡°ha ha ha!¡± Dalimus laughed heartily at Dio¡¯s bold request. At first, it was difficult to understand, but after talking to him directly, Dalimus was able to understand. The key is that it is a being that is very worthy of one¡¯s chivalry. ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ I heard the report and they said you used sword techniques.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a sword. ¡°We still haven¡¯t reached the level of the Sword Master.¡± Dio took this opportunity to put an end to the strangely spreading rumors. Do you know whose family the Sword Master belongs to? There are some beings that will never be defeated even if they compete with Pentacle. Among them, the most representative ones are those called Sword Masters. It doesn¡¯t matter if you are known as someone with a certain level of skill. However, Dio did not want to face the monsters that came after believing the false rumor that he was the Sword Master. ¡°Well, I¡¯d be happy to show you my sword skills. ¡°But now doesn¡¯t seem like the right time.¡± Dio laughed inwardly at Dalimus¡¯ words. Considering Dalimus¡¯ position as the person who had to finally resolve the incident that occurred in Oaks, he must have been very busy at the moment. There is no way I can take the time to teach swordsmanship right now. In the first place, Dio already knew Vertio¡¯s swordsmanship and actually performed it in front of Ates. Nevertheless, the reason why he mentioned the fact that he wanted to learn swordsmanship as a reward. ¡®It¡¯s difficult to find time for myself. Then, is that really the only thing the head of the family will do for me?¡¯ Dio endlessly ¡®pretended¡¯ to be just. Like the three compensation plans mentioned above, or saying that he is not greedy for wealth and just wants to learn swordsmanship. This was a plan made while remembering Dalimus, a single-minded swordsman. If you adopt this attitude in front of Dalimus, your reward will naturally be upgraded. Just like ¡®The Mountain Spirit and the Woodcutter¡¯. Dio remembered the ¡®it¡¯ he first thought of. It was not a compensation that Dio needed or absolutely had to receive right away. This is because it is not a word that refers to a single object in the first place. ¡®But there¡¯s no need to hesitate to keep it.¡¯ ¡®It¡¯ is a secret located beneath the lord¡¯s castle¡­ ¡°First of all, I¡¯d like to ask you this. ¡°Where do you plan to go now?¡± Dio, who was satisfied with the scenario going as expected, was awakened from his thoughts by Dalimus¡¯ sudden question. ¡°yes? Oh, that¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°Ah! It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t answer this. But for the time being¡­¡± Dalimus¡¯ mouth slowly opened as if he had put a lot of thought into it. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to leave here.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Dio was taken aback by the unexpected control. ¡°That¡­I don¡¯t quite understand that treatment. ¡°Why?¡± Dio could not accept the matriarch¡¯s words. The biggest reason is that it is no longer possible to stop by the warehouse. I had to pack up all the items in the warehouse and upgrade my specifications as quickly as possible. Currently, Dio and his group ended up being targeted by Telzia, the church¡¯s inspector, despite Conrad¡¯s testimony. There was a need to prepare for danger. ¡°Take it easy. ¡°I know you¡¯re busy too.¡± Is it because I heard from Calliope that the key needed to get stronger quickly? Dalimus nodded as if he knew what Dio said. ¡°Some people in Oaks are pleased with what you have done, but some are not.¡± Dalimus¡¯ words reminded Dio of Inspector Telzia. ¡°I intend to protect your safety as much as possible.¡± ¡°If that happens, won¡¯t the Bertio family suffer damage?¡± ¡°Haha, are you worried about me? ¡°The Duke of Bertio in the East?¡± Dio was convinced by Dalimus¡¯ confident attitude. The Luna Church will not just listen to the words of one inspector and pretend to be Bertio. Bertio is a great nobleman in charge of one axis of the empire. ¡®Well, it might be safer to leave after Dalimus has finished and calmed down the situation.¡¯ If he stayed in Bertio, the Luna Church would have no choice for the time being. No matter how much they dominate the continent, it would be too risky to confront Bertio, who is a member of the empire. ¡°I¡¯ll put off the swordplay you wanted until next time and give you something a little special now.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°There are many precious things passed down from generation to generation piled up in our family¡¯s secret warehouse.¡± ¡°Duke! ¡°That¡¯s not enough!¡± The Chamberlain¡¯s expression of surprise at this was truly worth seeing. But Dio internally breathed a sigh of relief. This is because the identity of ¡®it¡¯ that Dio expected was Bertio¡¯s secret warehouse. ¡®Phew, things went strange in the middle, but in the end it went according to plan. Bertio¡¯s secret warehouse¡­well, it¡¯s not bad. But compared to my warehouse¡­.¡¯ Players quickly found out that there was a secret warehouse in the failing Vertio. So, Dio also went to Bertio¡¯s warehouse to rob things. There were a lot of useful items there, but I remembered nothing being particularly special. ¡°That place belongs only to the Bertio family, right? ¡°You are giving them such precious things?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the problem if I give you my things? And the Chamberlain.¡± ¡°Yes yes.¡± The chamberlain felt numb for a moment as Dalimus looked at him with cold eyes. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about what happened earlier later.¡± ¡°¡­Oh, I understand.¡± The chamberlain trembled involuntarily at the words of Dalimus, who had not forgotten the issue of internal affairs. ¡°You follow me. ¡°Only I can open the secret warehouse.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Dalimus stood up and Dio laughed at the Chamberlain, who was anxiously awaiting the predicted abyss. * * * Dalimus said he would give treasures not only to Dio but also to his group and told them to bring everyone. So now Dio and the others were following Dalimus and heading to the stone chamber located deep underground. How long did you walk? Dio and his companions had to go down the stairs for a long time before they were able to come across Bertio¡¯s secret warehouse. ¡°It contains all the rare things I have collected, including heirlooms passed down from ancestors.¡± When Dalimus arrived in front of the magnificent iron gate and gave an explanation, the eyes of the group members except Dio lit up. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s quite big.¡± ¡°Can I really take anything?¡± ¡°Bertio¡¯s hidden warehouse, which I only heard about through rumors¡­¡± S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Starting with Sepia, the other party members also each said their own words in anticipation. Dalimus just smiled silently at that sight, approached one side of the wall, and raised his right hand. Kikikik ¨C Kugugugung ¨C The back of Dalimus¡¯ hand on the wall was bloodshot, and his blood spread all over the wall. Afterwards, the huge wall began to slowly open with a loud mechanical sound. ¡°Wow-¡± Evelyn let out an exclamation as she looked at the numerous display cases spread out in front of her. All kinds of items that looked unusual at first glance were neatly placed on the display stand. ¡®Is it different from when I came?¡¯ Dio, who had no expectations at all, was also surprised by the organized warehouse. ¡®The bastard and the chamberlain¡­ how much damage did they do?¡¯ Dio stuck his tongue out in front of so many treasures that he couldn¡¯t even compare to the secret warehouse he remembered. Well, if you think about that greedy chamberlain, there¡¯s no way he would leave Bertio¡¯s secret warehouse alone. ¡°This is a space where only those I allow can enter.¡± ¡°Can I choose more than one?¡± Dalimus shook his head at Evelyn¡¯s immature question. ¡°One for each person. You won¡¯t be cursed if you bring two, but that¡¯s Bertio¡¯s rule.¡± The Bertio family¡¯s rules for disclosing secret storage to non-heads of the family. Regarding this, Dalimus added additional explanation. ¡°He who is blinded by greed will destroy himself. ¡°These are the words of our ancestors.¡± Dalimus¡¯ warning not to be greedy. At this, Evelyn swallowed her saliva without realizing it. ¡°Don¡¯t be too disappointed. ¡°There is not a single thing here that is insignificant.¡± Dalimus laughed and pushed Dio¡¯s back, as if he thought Evelyn¡¯s frozen body was cute. ¡°I¡¯ll make room for you. ¡°Let¡¯s choose slowly.¡± ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Dalimus nodded to Dio¡¯s greeting and left the warehouse. ¡°Wow, look at that! It¡¯s a staff made of emerald!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think this gauntlet is ordinary either?¡± Even as Eveline and Roberto were scrambling to look at the items, Dio didn¡¯t have much expectations. Dalimus confidently said that it was a rare item, and in reality, there were some items that Dio had never seen before¡­ but that was it. ¡®I have a truckload of these items.¡¯ No, the items above this were strong and strong. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t had a chance to stop by the warehouse lately. We also received a control order. ¡®Still, let¡¯s take a look around.¡¯ Unlike the others, Dio walked through the shelves with Sepia following behind him. Dio didn¡¯t have much expectations. But soon an interesting object caught his eye. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 114 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 114Episode 114: The Bertio family with a rich history of 700 years. And the fact that it was Calliope who created the secret warehouse that only the head of the family could enter was not that surprising to Dio. First of all, it appears that Calliope helped establish this family. ¡®Now I understand that Bertio, who is famous for his swordsmanship, can make a safe of this level.¡¯ Dio nodded, caressing the wall of the warehouse made up of stone chambers. It was understandable when you remember that the players went through a lot of trouble to enter this place without the head of the house¡¯s permission. No matter what you do, you cannot enter or leave this place until you reach the level limit of 444. Well, I now know that this is the minimum condition to become stronger than the Pentagram Witch of Balance. ¡®But the flaw was that even though I worked so hard to come in, there was nothing special.¡¯ Dio looked at the numerous items listed on the shelf using the power of the system. I saw a few items that I had never seen before, but they weren¡¯t particularly good items either. They were flashy on the outside, but not that good in terms of content. It just looked expensive, so it was clear that either the Chamberlain or the bastard Lennon would have stolen it. ¡°Dio. ¡°What is that?¡± Sephia, who followed Dio, opened her mouth and pointed at the books floating between the shelves. ¡°Oh, that one? ¡°It¡¯s like a familiar guarding this place.¡± A book roaming around the warehouse. The book was surprisingly capable of moving on its own. Rather than an item, this can be seen as a spirit holding the position of a librarian or guide guarding the library. In the first place, you can¡¯t leave the secret warehouse with this book. The [Secret Book], which is believed to have been created through Calliope¡¯s magic, helps players invited here find the items they want. ¡°If there is something you want, that book will guide you.¡± ¡°Anything?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t have it, can you find something similar? ¡°Tell me.¡± Hearing Dio¡¯s words, Sepia approached the book with eyes full of curiosity. ¡®I heard it was a secret book, so I knew there was something there, but¡­¡¯ Since the secret book only served as a guide and was not a tool beyond that, Dio, who was not interested unlike Sepia, looked away. Unlike Sepia and the rest of the group, Dio does not need the help of books. Dio already knows most of the items and can check the purpose of the items through the system without the help of books anyway. ¡®No. Still, it seems like I can see quite a few things that I couldn¡¯t see¡­¡¯ Dio was lost in thought as he held the ruby ring he had first noticed in his hand. A unique accessory with strength stat enhancement options and stamina recovery effects. It¡¯s not bad, but it¡¯s an item worth taking for not Dio but other party members. If you go through the book like this, you will definitely find items suitable for your group. Dio asked for understanding from Sepia, who was wondering what to ask of the book. ¡°Let¡¯s look for Sepia¡¯s other kids first.¡± ¡°yes? Ah yes.¡± ¡°hey! ¡°Everyone, come here!¡± Dio called out to the other party members who were preoccupied with various objects. They came up to Dio with several items, as if they had already chosen what they liked. ¡°Look at this! Isn¡¯t it huge? ¡°What should I choose?¡± ¡°I too am torn between these two.¡± Evelyn and Roberto held out a gorgeous staff decorated with emeralds and were also holding gauntlets that they had never seen before. ¡°Hmm¡­.¡± Dio shook his head after checking the items chosen by the group. ¡°I think I made a good selection, but I don¡¯t really need these.¡± Evelyn and Roberto also probably chose weapons because they knew the importance of them, but there was no need to bring weapons. To be clear, there is no need to choose the weapons here unless they are legendary weapons. Anyway, you can get better weapons for them at the warehouse in Vertio. ¡°Eh, I like this!¡± ¡°It would be nice to have auxiliary items other than the main equipment. ¡°If possible, don¡¯t choose a weapon. I will give you something much better later than what you chose now.¡± ¡°really? Is it real? ¡°Is it really?¡± ¡°Oh, I understand. So put this back where it belongs.¡± Even if it wasn¡¯t just weapons, Dio¡¯s warehouse was also full of other types of items. However, if it is an accessory item that is not in his warehouse or does not matter if he has several, it is worth taking. ¡®Besides, jewelry has value as a reinforcement or material.¡¯ Evelyn was skeptical about Dio¡¯s placating and went to put the staff back in place. ¡°Then¡­¡± In the end, as Dio suggested, Evelyn and Roberto decided to find the item with the help of the book. First of all, Evelyn. Evelyn¡¯s level, confirmed through the party window, was 227. This is the item that suits her as she has reached level 30 in Ox. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Topaz Bracelet of Storage and Preservation] Grade: Unique Classification: Bracelet Level limit: 200 Required intelligence: 200 Required magic power: 200 Magic defense: 50 Special effects: User¡¯s Increases maximum horsepower by 10%. Reduces the user¡¯s MP consumption by 5%. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The option that increases maximum magical power and the option that reduces MP consumption were very suitable for Evelyn. A great bracelet not only for Evelyn, who is good at shadow magic, but also for the wizard class. Evelyn also seemed to really like the scarlet bracelet. ¡®And Roberto is also¡­¡¯ ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Top-grade ruby ring] Grade: Unique Classification: Ring Level limit: 230 Required strength: 250 Required intelligence: 250 Physical defense : 65 Magic Defense : 65 Special Effect: Increases the user¡¯s stamina regeneration ability by 10%. Increases the user¡¯s strength by 10%. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Roberto is level 235, having risen about 30 levels like Evelyn. The Book of Secrets helped Roberto find the ruby ring that Dio had first noticed. ¡®Because Roberto is in a damage tank position¡­¡¯ This is an item that supports both tenacity and attack for Roberto, who is in charge of the front line. The defense aspect was excellent, and it was clear that the 10% strength increase option would make his offensive abilities even more powerful. ¡°That¡¯s enough for you guys, Sepia¡­¡± Dio looked at Sepia and was lost in thought for a moment. Because she joined the front line later than the rest of the party, her level did not increase much. ¡®Now that I think about it, Sephia¡¯s stats¡­¡¯ Dio glanced at Sepia, who was waiting for his words. Unlike the other party members, Sepia can check her abilities in more detail as a contract holder of the Liberation Pledge. After Sepia¡¯s awakening, Dio remembered that there was an unusual change when he checked Sepia¡¯s condition. ¡®What should I do with this?¡¯ * * * Dio thought of a suitable option for Sepia and told him what he wanted. The book began to lead somewhere, and Dio and the others followed the book. ¡°Wow, look at this.¡± Sepia found a wand and a ring that could have been mistaken for just tree branches and opened her mouth in admiration. ¡®It¡¯s a set of Rodendron¡¯s branches and rings¡­not bad.¡¯ It looks so ugly that you didn¡¯t check that option with the secret book. These are items that were not disposed of and could be confirmed in the game. However, their true identity was that they were objects made from Rodendron twigs, which were strongly imbued with the power of life. ¡®Are these the best for sepia? Dio also nodded because he had the same thoughts as the secret book. However, Dalimus only recommended one item, so if I had to choose between a staff and a ring, the ring seemed better. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Rodendron¡¯s Ring] Grade: Unique Classification: Ring Level limit: 200 Required intelligence: 190 Magic defense: 55 Attribute resistance: 20 Special effect: Increases the user¡¯s intelligence It increases by 15%. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°I think a ring would be better?¡± ¡°is it so? ¡­I like this too.¡± He put it on his ring finger and kept squeezing and clenching his hand and looking at it. The most important item is the main weapon. Nevertheless, the reason why he gave up the cane and recommended a ring was for the same reason as Eveline and Roberto. ¡®Among the items in the warehouse of the Duchy of Vertio¡­ that would be good as well.¡¯ Dio, who checked Sepia¡¯s condition, had already thought of the item that would best suit her. There is no need to pick a weapon and incur losses. ¡°Okay, you guys do this. I¡¯m just looking around for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll think about what I should take.¡± Dio left his companions behind and approached the book alone. ¡°Can you help me too?¡± The book seemed to understand Dio¡¯s words and began to float and revolve around him. ¡°Hmm¡­what is the most valuable item here?¡± At Dio¡¯s question, the secret book that was floating next to him stopped in place. ¡®As expected, you shouldn¡¯t ask this question.¡¯ Since Dio didn¡¯t really need anything, his intention was to just get the best one. But these questions the Book of Secrets did not seem to understand. Of course, I had asked this question many times before, so I didn¡¯t expect much, but¡­ Dio¡¯s heart cooled at the same reaction as before. Of course, since Dio collected only the highest quality items, he would not have been satisfied no matter what he received. ¡°Then is there such a thing as a versatile weapon? ¡°It would be nice if it was some type of sword, but any kind of sword will do.¡± Although the weapons in his warehouse are certainly great, there may be some outstanding weapons among the items that the bastard matriarch sold off. So, this is a question I asked ¡®just in case¡¯. ¡®That¡¯s unlikely, but¡­ if it¡¯s better than my item, I¡¯ll take it. Or you can look at something else.¡¯ All you need to do is bring appropriate accessories with percentage options like your companions. Anyway, at Dio¡¯s words, the book trembled and started moving somewhere. Then, the secret book arrived in front of a bookshelf at the end of the stone room. ¡°book? Among the weapons of the wizard class, books are included, but¡­¡± Since magic tools did not suit Dio¡¯s personality, Dio looked at the bookshelf where the secret book had guided him and let out a sigh. However, contrary to Dio¡¯s thoughts, the secret book swooped into the empty space on the bookshelf. It was as if I had visited my own home. Clud-clack- But surprisingly, the bookshelf began to shake and move. And another space is revealed. ¡®what? Was there another hidden space?¡¯ Dio was secretly surprised by the existence of another secret space hidden in the secret warehouse. It was said that the secret book was the key to opening this place. ¡®okay! This must have been a place only the head of the family knew about. That¡¯s why the man and the chamberlain were the first to sell these and we never found them.¡¯ Dio nodded as if he understood. There are definitely things of the highest value hidden in secret places. Dio entered the secret space with deep anticipation. However, contrary to what I thought there would be a pile of good items, there was only one item on the platform. ¡°What is this?¡± A small jade gem placed on a quite luxurious stand. Dio immediately called up the system. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Almighty Jade] Grade: Legend Classification: Weapon Level limit: 300 Required strength: 250 Required agility: 250 Required intelligence: 250 Required stamina: 250 Required magic power: 250 offense power : ??? Magic Attack Power: ??? Special Effect: User can change to desired weapon type. The abilities change to match the changed weapon type. Description: A jewel given as a gift by the great witch who helped Bertio. This beautiful gem with transformation magic can be transformed into any weapon. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®All-purpose jade?¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes widened at the item he had never seen before. A legendary level item. There were quite a few legendary grade items in Dio¡¯s warehouse, but even so, the ¡®legendary¡¯ grade was by no means common. Of course, it may not be as good as a weapon with a level of at least 400 or higher, such as legendary grade or higher. Until now, Dio has not favored just one weapon, but has used a variety of weapons at the right time. Perhaps it would be difficult to find an item that suits Dio better than this. ¡®Is it okay? The attack power¡­ isn¡¯t that great.¡¯ Dio immediately grabbed the all-purpose jade in his hand and thought of a sword, creating a one-handed sword that radiated the brilliant light of jade. The attack power shown by the system was 420. Considering that the average attack power of a level 300 legendary one-handed sword is 450, this is not a very high number. However, considering the advantage of being converted into various forms, it was an understandable figure. ¡®It¡¯s an unexpected harvest.¡¯ Dio grinned and looked with satisfaction at the almighty jade that had returned to its jewel form. But the surprise is not over yet. When Dio came out holding the all-purpose jade, at some point a secret book came off the bookshelf and emitted light in front of Dio. Paat ¨C A secret book that is instantly absorbed into the omnipotent jade. The all-purpose jade, engulfed in brilliant light, began to emit an even more dazzling brilliance as it caught the light. Eventually, the light faded. Dio quickly checked the item options to see what had changed. ¡®What about this?¡¯ S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 115 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 115Episode 115: The all-powerful jade that absorbed the secret book. Although nothing had changed on the outside, the abilities it possessed were quite different from those before. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Gracious All-Purpose Jade] Added special effect ¨C Fusion Fusion: Can be fused with other items to give the user desired properties. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio blinked as if he found it hard to believe that the added effect was ¡®attribute granting¡¯, which could be considered the highest level of item value. Attributes are not simple abilities. If you think about why the Salamander set, which can be worn at low levels, is stored in Dio¡¯s warehouse, it is simple. This is because the effects of items with attributes are very useful. If you can gain the upper hand when fighting enemies, even if there is a gap in level, you can make up for it. The attribute is that it can more than double its power in all aspects, whether attack or defense. ¡®Give the desired properties? crazy!¡¯ Additionally, the option to grant desired properties could be seen as the best among Dio¡¯s items. Dio¡¯s assessment of the All-Purpose Jade was that it was a ¡®general-purpose weapon¡¯ just as he had requested in the Book of Secrets. Except for the ability to change into various weapons, its attack power is lower compared to other legendary weapons. However, if attributes can be assigned, all of these shortcomings can be offset. ¡®And there¡¯s fusion!¡¯ Although Dio could not finish Luave, the experience gained from his death was significant. Moreover, Dio, who has defeated many more demons than the rest of the party, is currently at level 301. Among the weapons that match Dio¡¯s current level, there are few that can be compared to the all-purpose jade. As the level increases, the level limit is lifted and better items can be used, so I planned to use the all-purpose jade only for a short period of time. However, if it can be fused with other items and even be given desired properties. ¡®That means you can use it permanently!¡¯ Moreover, fusion was ultimately like combining items. Even if the effectiveness of the all-purpose jade itself is very low by obtaining a better weapon later, you can supplement it with fusion. I don¡¯t know why these two were merged. It might be Calliope from 700 years ago or Arrangement from a thousand years ago. However, Dio was able to understand why there had been no response to the question asking the Secret Book to show the most valuable item. ¡®The book of secrets itself was a hidden piece. It wasn¡¯t just there for guidance.¡¯ The Book of Secrets didn¡¯t fail to fulfill Dio¡¯s question. He must be confident that the secret book, which knows all the secrets of this stone chamber, is the most valuable item. After thinking for a moment, Dio decided not to delve any further into this. Anyway, the point is that you obtained an item of enormous value. One problem is that they even took away the secret book that protects the warehouse¡­ ¡®I¡¯m sure they won¡¯t say something with this, right?¡¯ It is impossible to re-divide the combined items. If Dalimus asks you to return it, it is an item so valuable that you have to go to great lengths to take it. * * * ¡°Haha, that happened.¡± Dalimus, who was waiting for Dio¡¯s group in the reception room, smiled brightly and opened his mouth. Dio and his party went straight to Gaju to see the items they had obtained from the warehouse and told him the story about the secret book and the all-purpose jade. Because there was no need to deceive. ¡°Was there such a treasure hidden in your family?¡± Dalimus and Dio and the others were not the only people currently in the reception room. It wasn¡¯t clear whether Dalimus had called, but Artes was also sitting here, listening to Dio¡¯s story and giving him an envious look. ¡°Athes. ¡°You did a great job protecting me, but the mistake of leaving the family arbitrarily cannot be erased.¡± S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Of course. father.¡± ¡°Call me matriarch.¡± ¡°¡­Yes, matriarch.¡± Ates, who thought deep down that he too would receive the family treasure, responded with despair at Dalimus¡¯ words. ¡°And remember: ¡°You and your brother are in a position to protect the treasure by inheriting the lion¡¯s blood.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll keep that in mind.¡± Dio, who had no desire to interfere in the stiff conversation between father and son, brought up the topic of compensation again. ¡°In the end, I think I ended up breaking one of the rewards the duke requested¡­is that still okay?¡± The most important thing to Dio is the issue of ownership of the gracious and omnipotent jade. To be sure, he asked Dalimus, and fortunately Dio didn¡¯t get an answer that would worry him. ¡°Okay. In any case, the book that protects the warehouse belongs to the family itself, not the head of the family¡­ In the end, that book also gained freedom.¡± Dio and his companions looked puzzled at Dalimus¡¯s unknown words. ¡°Oh, that book is something that ¡®mother¡¯ left behind when she was building this warehouse. ¡°I expected there would be some secret.¡± Ates once again looked confused as she heard the title ¡°mother¡± coming from the head of the family again. However, just like last time, Dalimus, who seemed to have no intention of saying anything about this, just waved his hand. ¡®It looks like the head of the family has a lot of faith in Calliope¡­¡¯ Dio, who was watching Dalimus, remembered the words left by Calliope, who had left somewhere a few days ago. -There is still some research left on the Balrog horn. I will come get you when the time comes. Try not to wander too far. -When is that? -You know that, right? Our secret friend gatherings are always held at the same time. After saying those words, Calliope suddenly disappeared. When she spoke, she was probably referring to ¡®Walpurgis Night.¡¯ Calliope said that because Dio knew at what time Walpurgis Night was held. ¡®¡­Why do you think I know everything?¡¯ Unfortunately, Dio does not know the story about the seven stars related to the sun. So, contrary to Calliope¡¯s expectations, Dio, who had no way of knowing when the ¡®time¡¯ was, had to think about it in his own way. ¡®You can raise your level while you wait¡­¡¯ Of course, even if you decided on a hunting ground right away, you couldn¡¯t go outside the lord¡¯s castle according to Dalimus¡¯ suggestion. Going out in search of a hunting ground is possible after Dalimus releases control. ¡®What else is there to do here until then?¡¯ When you are wondering what to do in Yeongju Castle. Suddenly, the luxurious door of the reception room opened wide. Surely the servants outside knew that the head of the family, Bertio, was talking here. However, there is only one person who can kick in the door without warning like this. The first-ranked successor to take over as the next Duke of Bertio. It was Lennon Bertio. * * * Even if a rich person goes bankrupt, it lasts for three years. The Duke of Bertio had a solid reputation as a swordsman and had amassed enormous wealth. People say that it is a prestigious family that is wealthy enough to be compared to a kingdom that rules a country. And that is somewhat close to true. There was a main culprit who prevented such a family from surviving even one year, let alone three. ¡°Zenon Bertio. ¡°I am returning now to say hello to the head of the family.¡± Unlike Ates, who had a moderate physique, Zeno had a very well-trained body and bowed his head to Dalimus, who was sitting at the head of the table. He seemed to have inherited the bloodline of Dalimus, a master of swordsmanship, and was exuding a sharp spirit. In fact, although Zeno was a fool, he had considerable strength. Even if he is a monarch who enjoys drinking and entertainment, the lion¡¯s bloodline cannot be ignored. Zeno, who noticed that gaze, frowned at Dio and then looked at Ates next to him and got angry. ¡°With what kind of face have you come before the head of the family? ¡°You threw away all your responsibilities as a noble and tarnished your family¡¯s name!¡± ¡°¡­I will not deny my fault for that. ¡°Is that why you came back to the family to ask for forgiveness?¡± Artes seemed nervous when she met Zeno for the first time in a long time, but she did not remain still. ¡°What about forgiveness! He probably came back because he wanted the position of head of the family! Lord! Please punish this man!¡± Zeno scolded Ates¡¯ protest. ¡°What does that mean? Haven¡¯t you heard about Ox¡¯s work? ¡°Brother, warlocks have invaded from the east. What have you been doing so far?¡± ¡°It is not your business to meddle with your subject. ¡°I have a lot of things to do as the next head of the family.¡± ¡°Is your job to have fun in the imperial capital? ¡°Do you think I¡¯m deaf?¡± ¡°¡­Shut up!¡± In response to Ates¡¯ rebuttal, as if he had heard something, Zeno looked at the matriarch¡¯s gaze and continued speaking with a confident voice. ¡°It is also related to imperial affairs. Having friendships with them is also helpful to the family.¡± ¡°Since when did Bertio pay attention to the Central Continent?¡± ¡°That¡¯s why you can¡¯t take over the family. Isn¡¯t that right, matriarch?¡± In response to Zeno¡¯s confident statement that playing with the central nobles was also work, Dalimus just silently looked down on the war of nerves between the two sons. Looking at this situation, Dio was able to see how Bertio¡¯s successor structure was going. ¡®It¡¯s Zeno before he became the head of the family¡­his handling skills aren¡¯t bad. Is it the influence of the Chamberlain?¡¯ The act of arbitrarily entering a place where the head of the family is present and speaking loudly was an impossible act unless one possessed a certain amount of power. Zenon was putting it off as if everything he did was for the good of his family. Whether his words were true or not, Dalimus seemed to have little interest in interfering with what Zeno was doing. ¡®Because it is true that what Zenon does is helpful to the family.¡¯ What can lead a political fight to your advantage is not a sword, but a word. Although Zeno only enjoys entertainment, he ends up building connections with various nobles. However, Zeno is not just a mere talker, he is actually a swordsman, so he more than meets the requirements to be the next head of the family. Of course, these things cannot continue forever. In the end, Zeno¡¯s downfall is the future that Dio experienced. Since Dio is the only one who knows the future, Dalimus will also remain silent. ¡°What are these dirty things? ¡°Where are you crawling here?¡± While Zeno was wondering how he could push Ates back, he expressed hostility toward Dio and his companions. ¡°What does he say?¡± Dio told her not to interfere in the affairs of the nobles, so she stayed quiet, but when a disagreement occurred for no reason, Evelyn said something. ¡°Leave it alone. ¡°It¡¯s a lively age.¡± ¡°You be careful.¡± ¡°What what?¡± Zenon was momentarily taken aback by Evelyn¡¯s words of warning with her fist clenched. Dio¡¯s companions, who had no way of knowing about the succession battle or how the situation between countries was going, felt no emotion in front of Zeno. A normal reaction for ordinary people would be not to even meet Zeno¡¯s eyes. However, Dio¡¯s companions reacted completely differently, and Zenon made a bewildered expression. Does he not know that he is the likely next head of Bertio? ¡°These vile things! You know who I am! ¡°How dare you hold your head high and wag your tongue in front of the next head of the family?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± If I leave it like this, I might get hurt for no reason. Of course, it¡¯s not Dio, but the opponent. ¡®I¡¯d like to take a little care¡­is that okay?¡¯ Dio patted his chin and met the gaze of Dalimus, who was watching all of this. Dalimus nodded slightly enough for only Dio to notice, and Dio was convinced. The duke will not take anyone¡¯s side. Even if you go on a rampage right here and now, the duke will turn a blind eye. Dio slowly opened his mouth, realizing what he had to do while waiting for Calliope. ¡°Pick it?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 116 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 116Episode 116 ¡°What what?¡± Zenon asked back, wondering if he had misheard what Dio said. In response to Zeno¡¯s reaction, Dio once again repeated what he had said himself as if it were not the same. ¡°so. ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°This guy!¡± Lennon, who had put his weight behind it because he was the head of the family, got angry when he heard D.O.¡¯s words and stepped forward. ¡°Stop. ¡°It is in front of the head of the family, and these people are the nobles who defeated the warlock in Oaks.¡± ¡°Won¡¯t you get out of the way?¡± Lennon looked down at Artes, who blocked his path, and growled. Nevertheless, Artes continued calmly. ¡°These are people who were invited by the head of the family. ¡°It means that you are not the type of person to treat carelessly.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Hearing Ates¡¯ words, Lennon glanced at Dalimus, who was guarding this spot. Fortunately, Dalimus didn¡¯t seem to care much, as always. Lennon also knew about it because he heard a rumor on his way back to the estate. There were mercenary groups that fought alongside the Bertio family in Ox. But what does that mean? ¡°I guess you come from some kind of village and don¡¯t know much¡­¡± Lennon opened his mouth, glaring at Dio, who was seated behind Artes. ¡°Insulting a nobleman is a serious crime. ¡°No matter what you did, you have now committed a crime.¡± ¡°You were the first to insult me.¡± ¡°cheeky! Know the gap in status. I heard your story briefly. Aren¡¯t you a wandering mercenary whose identity and origins are uncertain? ¡°How dare a commoner!¡± ¡°No, don¡¯t insult me.¡± ¡°what?¡± Lennon frowned, not knowing what Dio was trying to say. Dio, who was just looking at the angry Lennon with amusement, pointed with his chin at Artes, who was anxious next to him. ¡°Isn¡¯t your younger brother Ates also a nobleman? ¡°I think you insulted Ates first.¡± ¡°They don¡¯t even know this topic¡­!¡± Lennon¡¯s fists shook at Dio¡¯s words. He felt great anger at being told that he and Ates had dared to be put on the same level. I want to kill the mercenary in front of me right now, but like Ates said, these are people who were invited by the head of the family. Lennon walked up to Dalimus, who was at the head of the table, and opened his mouth. ¡°father. ¡°You¡¯ve seen everything, right?¡± ¡°I told you to call me maju.¡± Lennon calmed down his excitement at Dalimus¡¯ words and continued speaking calmly. ¡°Why did you invite people who don¡¯t even know how to behave? The rumor that the warlock was killed may also be false. ¡°Isn¡¯t that something the knights of our great family solved?¡± Lennon said, glaring at Dio. He seemed to have a natural ability to slander others, as he spouted out words as if he had thought them out in advance. ¡°I saw it.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Lennon looked up in surprise at the matriarch¡¯s answer. ¡°But father¡­ no, the head of the family has never left the territory, right?¡± Lennon said this because he thought Dal¨ªmus had only heard rumors like he had. Lennon, who knew that Dalimus would not lie due to his personality, was speechless for a moment. ¡°I saw the corpses of the warlocks with my own eyes. And there are many people who testified to his activities.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Lennon gritted his teeth at Dalimus¡¯ firm words. Lennon¡¯s self-esteem and self-esteem were very high as he grew up hearing and being praised as a genius. That¡¯s why I can¡¯t back out of here. If Dio, who has made a dent in Lennon¡¯s, is left alone, everything he has built so far may collapse. ¡°Matriarch! No matter how much effort they have made, they cannot overlook what happened just now.¡± As always, Lennon gave the matriarch a good reason. ¡°That¡¯s Lennon Bertio. There are many different types of tinnitus. ¡°The eldest son of the great Duke Bertio, a swordsman and genius of the East.¡± ¡°On the other hand, what about this one? His name is unknown, his origin is unknown, he is from the East, his identity is unknown, and at most he has only a small amount of power¡­¡± ¡° Why do you care about that mercenary bastard more than me, whom you have known since I was born!¡± ¡°You have to make an important decision, matriarch.¡± ¡°Why do you allow people who don¡¯t know the etiquette for nobles into the lord¡¯s castle? For the sake of the family¡¯s prestige, there must be a severe punishment for the insult just now!¡± Dalimus nodded at Lennon¡¯s brilliant words, and Lennon smiled as if he knew that would happen. ¡°Okay, since you want it so much, I guess we can make it an official match.¡± ¡°yes?¡± What Lennon wants is punishment for Dio and his group, who did not hesitate to say disrespectful things about nobles. ¡®A showdown? With that mercenary guy?¡¯ Lennon, who did not receive the answer he wanted from Dalimus, looked puzzled. ¡°Matriarch! You mean a showdown? Are you saying I should cross swords with a commoner? The Bertio family¡¯s swordsmanship will make you cry!¡± ¡°Who said it was a confrontation with the author? ¡°The problem that has arisen now is between you and Ates.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Dalimus took his eyes off Lennon and looked at Artes. Ates also looked like he didn¡¯t understand what Dalimus was talking about. Dalimus, seeing the two sons, smiled and continued speaking. ¡°This incident occurred during a fight between Bertio¡¯s official successors.¡± Dalimus did not ignore what Dio said. Accepting the fact that Lennon insulted Artes first. ¡°I hereby give permission for you two to fight.¡± ¡°Go, matriarch!¡± ¡°You all know that nobles are allowed to duel by proxy when participating in an official duel, right?¡± When Dalimus spoke with special emphasis, Dio laughed to himself. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Since when did the Bertio family fight with words? Prove it with swordsmanship.¡± ¡®Are you willing to prepare a meal like this?¡¯ It wasn¡¯t just Lennon who was dumbfounded, but Artes too. ¡®Damn Lennon¡­but he still has skills.¡¯ Artes is more talented than most knights. And Lennon is reputed to be stronger than Artes. It may be true that he is called a genius. Even though Ates grew up in Ox, he did not show much activity in battle. Even if the gap narrows, Artes will not be stronger than Lennon right now. However, this match is a duel between nobles with the head of the family directly observing. As announced by Dalimus, substitute knights were allowed, and Dalimus seemed to want Dio to participate in the war. ¡®Do you want me to fix Lennon? Or is it just to show Bertio¡¯s confidence?¡¯ It was difficult for Dio to accurately understand Dalimus¡¯ intentions. Although it cannot be said that Lennon¡¯s personality is good, he is the number one successor to Bertio and is nothing short of Bertio¡¯s pride. ¡®You used your brain.¡¯ This match was a stage to test Dio and Lennon at the same time. ¡°The match will take place exactly four days later. If there is no disagreement on this, everyone go out. ¡°I still have work to do.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Lennon was unable to refute Dalimus¡¯s words, as he pointed out the date. Lennon was the first to turn around and go out, and in the process, he made eye contact with Dio. Dio pretended to scratch his nose with his middle finger when Lennon looked at him as he left. Did he instinctively feel that the other person was insulting him? Grinding ¨C the sound of Lennon grinding his teeth can be clearly heard. * * * ¡°Whoa¡­.¡± Lennon was sitting in his room, trying to catch his breath. This is a breathing method taught in the Bertio family. After maintaining the breathing technique for a few minutes, Lennon was able to calm down his excitement. ¡°hey.¡± ¡°Yes, master.¡± At Lennon¡¯s gesture, one of his subordinates immediately delivered the report. While talking to Dalimus, he had me investigate the mercenaries. Lennon received the report and read it, flipping through it. ¡®There are mercenary rags to chew on¡­ not just one, but many.¡¯ When Lennon thought of the mercenary who maintained an arrogant attitude in front of him, he became so angry once again that he almost lost his breathing technique. But once again, I kept my breathing calm. This part showed why he was recognized as a swordsman by not only his father but also the elders. ¡®Athes. A mercenary will take his place. Seeing as my father only called that guy¡­ he must be the leader.¡¯ This duel was officially a fight between Ates and himself. Of course, no grand compensation will be given, such as determining a successor based on this result. But for Lennon, it was a matter of pride. ¡®You coward. ¡®Why don¡¯t you bring in mercenaries without knowing that my talent is lacking?¡¯ Lennon had no doubt that Ates was jealous of him and ran away from home. As expected, Artes fell far short of Lennon himself in the ¡®swordsmanship¡¯ aspect, which can be considered the most important virtue in a swordsmanship master. ¡®You should be ashamed. To receive help from a mercenary whose identity I don¡¯t know¡­.¡¯ While Lennon was pondering his anger towards Artes for a long time, there was a knock on the door. ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s me. young master.¡± ¡°¡­come in. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re leaving.¡± Lennon immediately recognized the chamberlain¡¯s voice and slowly opened his closed eyes. Lennon¡¯s men left and the Chamberlain came in immediately. ¡°I heard the news. This time, you are dueling with a little master¡­¡± ¡°Yes. That petty bastard will appoint a substitute. Those mercenaries who went on a rampage in Ox this time¡­ did you hear anything? ¡°I guess this isn¡¯t enough.¡± Lennon rolled up the report he had received from his subordinate and tapped it. ¡°Are you saying that those blasphemous bastards attacked you? ¡°Oh really.¡± Lennon responded to Artes¡¯ angry words. ¡°Why are they meddling in family affairs?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s obvious that they get along well. ¡°Anyway, they are these bastards.¡± ¡°Still, I think we need to be careful.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll get hit by those guys?¡± ¡°I guarantee your skills, Master. ¡°Not even Bertio¡¯s knights can reach your feet.¡± The chamberlain¡¯s flattery made Lennon feel much better, and the chamberlain¡¯s words continued after examining his mood. ¡°But there are rumors that the mercenary uses sword techniques.¡± ¡°Black energy? gibberish!¡± Lennon snorted at the chamberlain¡¯s words. That guy is at the level of a sword master? This is an absurd story that cannot be dismissed as nonsense. Lennon has already seen the mercenaries before his eyes in the throne room. Although it is acknowledged that they are not as ignorable as Artes, the idea that they are sword masters is truly nonsense. ¡®The expression he gave off didn¡¯t have that of my father.¡¯ Lennon, who did not want to acquire knowledge in any field, received instruction several times from the head of the family, who was serious about swordsmanship. So even if I didn¡¯t want to know, I had no choice but to know. This is the level that Dalimus has reached. ¡°Chief Chamberlain.¡± ¡°yes. young master.¡± ¡°Gather the crowd. ¡°I extend invitations to all the nobles who are close to me and to the nobles in the East who are still hesitant about whose side to side with.¡± ¡°You mean an invitation to this duel? But I¡¯m sure the head of the family wants things to proceed quietly. ¡°The family¡¯s unspoken rules¡­you know.¡± Despite the Chamberlain¡¯s worried words, Lennon¡¯s will was firm. ¡°No, I will use this opportunity to prove it to everyone. ¡°Your father might want this too.¡± Dalimus is a person who is serious about swordsmanship. Lennon thought that there was a hidden reward in Dalimus¡¯ decision to decide between right and wrong between his children. ¡®If I make Ates and the mercenaries who follow him kneel in front of everyone¡­ I will definitely be established as the next head of the family.¡¯ * * * ¡°You will stay for a moment.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Dio, who thought there would be nothing more to see at the end of the story, looked at Dalimus, who had called him out. Dio, who was expecting to say something secret, sent his companions outside and approached Dalimus alone. ¡°I put an unnecessary burden on you.¡± ¡°no.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t know until later, but Artes is still not good enough to deal with Lennon.¡± Even though he didn¡¯t show it on the outside, Dio could tell that Dalimus was very concerned about the relationship between his two sons. ¡°Artes will grow even more than now. But not now. And you know that too.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°I want to give both my sons the same opportunity. Lennon has his quirks, but I hope he learns a lot from his confrontation with you.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio wanted to say that Lennon would eventually lead Bertio to destruction, but he couldn¡¯t. Because the future can change at any time. Dio had already pledged to take care of Lennon, but when Dalimus, who cared about his son, said this, it seemed like he wouldn¡¯t be able to get over this incident easily. ¡°Anyway, it looks like I¡¯ll be inadvertently indebted to you again.¡± ¡°no.¡± ¡°No, we need to be clear about this.¡± Are they trying to give me some kind of reward? Dio didn¡¯t need anything else in Bertio¡¯s warehouse, so he wasn¡¯t particularly impressed by Dalimus¡¯ words. An unexpected story came from Dalimus¡¯ mouth. ¡°You said you wanted to gain insight into my swordsmanship as a reward, right?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 117 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 117Episode 117: The sun is slowly setting. Dio followed Dalimus¡¯ footsteps and was invited to his own heavily guarded training hall within the mansion. It was difficult for Dio to understand Dalimus¡¯ intentions, as if some kind of wind had suddenly blown to show him the sword. ¡®It¡¯s good to be trained by Dalimus¡­ but do I need to learn the Bertio family¡¯s swordsmanship?¡¯ Dio thought as he watched Dalimus quietly examining the training swords prepared in the training hall. I did say first that I wanted to see Dalimus¡¯ insight. However, when Dio said those words, he was just laying the groundwork to get Dalimus to open the secret warehouse, and he did not mean them sincerely. However, since he couldn¡¯t take back what he said, Dio pretended to be happy and followed Dalimus to the training ground. ¡®Bertio¡¯s swordsmanship is at Grade A level¡­ I didn¡¯t even need to use [Lion Sing], which is his secret skill.¡¯ Dio remembered that when he met Ates, he successfully showed him the Bertio family¡¯s secret technique. Although its power is great, it is disappointing compared to forgotten sword techniques. From Dio¡¯s perspective, raising your level during that time is more helpful for growth than receiving instruction from others. Even if it were not because of the blessings given by Solari, this is a world where certain strength given by the level is guaranteed. ¡®Still, I¡¯m curious. It¡¯s clear that you¡¯re stronger than me, but to what level?¡¯ Dalimus, who appeared in Ox and radiated tremendous energy, watched right before my eyes. ¡°Sometimes, just swinging the sword like this makes my worries go away. ¡°How about you?¡± Dalimus raised an iron sword and swung it. He was like a Dalimus, a warrior to the core. The only training he did on his own was the meditation taught by Schuwald, but Dio appropriately agreed with Dalimus¡¯s words. ¡°Oh yeah. So do i.¡± ¡°Then take a look.¡± Dalimus held the handle of his sword backwards. It was a familiar posture to Dio. Bertio¡¯s Vision Swordsmanship [Lion Sing]. Flash! Quagwagwagwang! Dio unconsciously let out an exclamation at the sword mark that had made a dent in the center of the training ground. Ryan Sing¡¯s power from his clean movements was truly enormous, incomparable to Dio¡¯s swordsmanship. Dalimus¡¯ sword dance continues. Ugh-! The iron sword held in Dalimus¡¯s hand collides with the air in the atmosphere and begins to resonate. Despite the vibration, Dalimus¡¯ posture did not waver. ¡®The roar of the fluttering mane!¡¯ Dio¡¯s prediction was correct. Bertio¡¯s arcane swordsmanship [Roar of the Flying Mane] is arguably the best among all shredding techniques. Since this is a skill that can only be learned at level 400, it means that Dalimus¡¯ level is higher than that. This meant that Dalimus was still at level 400, so it was still difficult for Dio to surpass him. Quagwagwagwang! Dalimus was clearly just swinging in the air. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, a powerful explosion occurred in the air. It¡¯s like a dust explosion that reacts with oxygen in the air. ¡®But that¡¯s it. It looks like there¡¯s nothing I can learn¡­¡¯ Dio watched Dalimus¡¯ next move as his skill level was somewhat expected. Pak-! Dalimus pulled out the iron sword stuck on the floor as if pulling it out, and then raised it high, and a shimmering blood-red aura appeared. ¡®What is that?¡¯ Black energy? No, it is a different energy from the Sword Master¡¯s aura. Let¡¯s go! The blood-red aura released from Dalimus¡¯ body began to move as if being drawn to him. Kugoogung! Dalimus¡¯ movements, engulfed in aura, changed. Pabababat! Bertio swordsmanship is known as a swordsmanship focused on destruction. Of all the Vertio sword techniques that Dio remembered, there was none that required this kind of speed. It was amazing to see the afterimage of Dalimus moving so fast that it was difficult to follow it with the eye. Fight against each other! The iron sword wielded by Dalimus clearly left a deep sword mark even though it did not touch the ground. The shock wave it emits alone is that powerful! ¡°Whoa, I feel lighter today.¡± Dalimus, who did not show any signs of distress except for lightly catching his breath, slowly lowered his sword. ¡°How is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s huge. ¡°Are the things you just showed me Bertio¡¯s arcane sword skills?¡± ¡°yes.¡± After exchanging light conversation, Dalimus began swinging his arms once again. It was the same but different from the technology of the Bertio family that Dio knew. It¡¯s heavy yet fast. It is both a heavy swordsmanship and a light swordsmanship. ¡®Are you saying that the arcane swordsmanship I learned is not a perfected technique?¡¯ The swordsmanship shown by Dalimus was a skill that could not even be seen in Lennon, who was the next head of the family. ¡°Whoa-¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Dio approached Dalimus, who was swinging his body quite a bit, and expressed his gratitude for his hard work. ¡°It is a technology steeped in the blood and flesh of our ancestors.¡± ¡°Can you show me something so precious?¡± ¡°Haha, can you follow along?¡± Dio shook his head at Dalimus¡¯ words. The reason D.O was able to imitate Ryan Singh was because the level of difficulty was A-level. However, the skills that Dalimus has now shown are comparable to the S-class swordsmanship that Dio knows. If it got to that level, Dio couldn¡¯t even imitate it unless he acquired the skill himself. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m not ignoring you. But it would be difficult for you to follow along now. And¡­¡± Dalimus, who paused for a moment, held out the iron sword he was holding to Dio. ¡°I heard that you can use sword techniques¡­ can you show me?¡± ¡°yes?¡± Dio, who haphazardly received the iron sword, was taken aback by Dalimus¡¯ words. ¡°As I already told you¡­I am not at a level where I can use sword energy.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s not the sword technique I know. ¡°I¡¯m very curious about your power, which others might mistake for sword energy.¡± ¡®You look like a crazy swordsman otaku¡­¡¯ Dio fell into trouble at Dalimus¡¯ words. ¡®Didn¡¯t Calliope tell you about the power of the sun?¡¯ If so, I wasn¡¯t sure if it was right to show this to Dalimus. However, seeing him say this, it was clear that he had some guess. ¡®At least they won¡¯t accuse me of heresy.¡¯ After making a decision in his mind, Dio lightly swung his iron sword and took a simple stance to use his forgotten sword skills. ¡°Then I will go.¡± Dio swings his sword! I swung. [Island], which cut down countless demonic beasts and warlocks of Ox, was released brilliantly from the iron sword wielded by Dio. Kwagwagwagwagwang! It seemed insufficient compared to the technique demonstrated by Dalimus, but that was due to the difference in level of the caster. If you compare the technique itself, Dalimus also looked quite surprised at the power, which was in no way comparable to Dalimus¡¯ skill, which is estimated to be S-class swordsmanship. ¡°It¡¯s going to be quite a struggle to sort it out.¡± Dio approached Dalimus, leaving behind the flames caused by the island¡¯s aftermath. ¡°That¡¯s amazing. Is this the power that ¡®Mother¡¯ uses?¡­¡± Dalimus nodded, muttering to himself. ¡°I feel divine power, but it¡¯s different from what they use. ¡°It is similar to, but different from, the energy used by those who have reached a certain level.¡± The heterogeneous power that Dio showed was something Dalimus had never seen before. Therefore, Dalimus, who was aiming for the tip of the sword, looked very interested. Dio waited quietly in front of Dalimus, who was reciting his comments alone. ¡°You said you also used it in front of Luna¡¯s priests, right?¡± ¡°There was nothing we could do to stop Luave.¡± ¡°okay. I was right to not let you go out. ¡°I heard stories about this from the center.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be helped. They¡¯re not stupid either. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be more dangerous for the head of the family for me to work at Bertio for this reason?¡± After calming down the situation, Dio once again issued Dalimus¡¯ instructions to leave. ¡°I¡¯m just sorry for causing you unnecessary trouble.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that a story that¡¯s already over? ¡°I have a method for everything.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Dio asked back, not understanding what Dalimus was saying. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t this be solved if you could use real sword energy? If you do that, you will definitely be able to refute the testimony of Luna¡¯s priests who witnessed your power.¡± ¡°ah!¡± ¡°Releasing sword energy is just the state of a sword master. If you¡¯re capable of emitting sword energy, you¡¯ll be able to do it in no time. I¡¯ll take care of it on my own from now on. Hehehe.¡± The reason Dio is now being accused of heresy is because he used a foreign power similar to divine power, not sword energy. But what if the power Dio used was not actually divine power but real sword energy? The Battle of Luave was a situation where no one could relax their nerves. There, the clergy might be able to avoid the charge of heresy by making excuses that they were mistaken. Of course, that doesn¡¯t mean it can fool the eyes of talented people who clearly feel the heterogeneous power. However, it was possible to plant a crack of doubt in their confidence. ¡°I would be happy if that were the case, but¡­ one day we will have to clash with the Luna Church.¡± ¡°okay. But it would be better to postpone that moment as long as possible. Until you become much stronger than you are now.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio nodded at Dalimus¡¯ words. His suggestion makes sense. The Bertio family is protecting the safety of Dio, who is currently accused of being a heretic. What if Dalimus defends that the alien power that Luna¡¯s church members saw was just sword energy? And if Dio proves this, the Luna Church will not be able to capture Dio for sure until they find proper proof. ¡°So you¡¯re saying you¡¯re going to teach me sword techniques?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I have no intention of disparaging the family¡¯s swordsmanship, but Bertio¡¯s swordsmanship will not suit the power you have.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dalimus¡¯ unexpected suggestion. What he means is that he will teach you how to use sword energy just as Schuwald taught you how to control the power of the sun. ¡®It¡¯s a sword¡­ it¡¯s not bad, is it?¡¯ Dio knew very well how useful it was to generate sword energy. There are enemies for which physical attacks are impervious. To defeat them, swordsmen must receive support from wizards or priests. However, the moment you master sword technique, you no longer need help from others. The sword technique has [magic damage] that matches the user¡¯s level. Sword skills on the order board can be seen as a passive skill that is automatically acquired when the swordsman class reaches the 3rd job advancement. In terms of level, if you reach level 400 in the swordsman class, the ¡®system¡¯ will naturally teach you. ¡®My class now is like a swordsman class¡­¡¯ A great warrior of the sun who changed his job through Solari. The warrior class and the swordsman class are different, but if a great warrior uses a sword, isn¡¯t he a swordsman? As a great warrior of the sun, I don¡¯t know if I will acquire sword skills when I reach level 400. However, if it¡¯s a job that doesn¡¯t allow you to learn sword techniques¡­ ¡®I can¡¯t miss this great opportunity.¡¯ And that¡¯s without reaching level 400. After organizing his thoughts, Dio nodded to Dalimus. ¡°I am honored to be able to receive your teachings, matriarch.¡± ¡°Instead¡­¡± Dio felt nervous at the end of Dalimus¡¯s words, which seemed to indicate that he wanted something. Wasn¡¯t it meant to teach you as a reward? ¡°Would you like to teach me the power you use?¡± ¡°yes?¡± Dio never thought that Dalimus would say that he wanted to learn from him. I knew long ago that he was crazy about swordsmanship, but he doesn¡¯t hesitate to say that he wants to learn from someone his son¡¯s age¡­ Considering the position he holds, it¡¯s something he can never say easily. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter to me, but¡­is it okay? ¡°Couldn¡¯t the head of the family also be accused of heresy?¡± ¡°haha! Don¡¯t worry about that. ¡°As long as I don¡¯t leave the East, no one will show their teeth to the lion.¡± Dio seemed to be worried for no reason at Dalimus¡¯s words, which made him laugh out loud, so he smiled awkwardly. ¡°All right.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°Let¡¯s take a break for today. Whenever I have time, I¡¯ll sing separately like I do now.¡± Dalimus offered to shake Dio¡¯s hand, and Dio gladly took his hand. ¡°Oh.¡± Just as Dalimus, who had finished all his errands, was about to leave the training ground. Dio approached him and carefully opened his mouth. ¡°This is what happened¡­.¡± Surviving as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 118 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 118Episode 118: Bertio Family head¡¯s personal training hall. There, two young men were wielding excessively large large swords. Tap, tap, grasp! Craddangtang! Ates, the second son of the Duke of Bertio, fell ugly. ¡°Hey, hey, it¡¯s so hard, Dio! ¡°I feel like I¡¯m dying!¡± ¡°Hoo hoo. Don¡¯t whine. ¡°Do you want to throw away your hard-earned opportunity?¡± Dio also put down his sword and exhaled harshly. ¡°¡­I know. I can¡¯t sit still any longer. ¡°I¡¯m sick of running away now.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Ates¡¯ eyes lit up and he struggled to get up from his exhaustion. Eventually, Artes grabbed the huge sword and swung it once again. As for why Dio is training at Dalimus¡¯ training center with Ates¡­ * * * ¡°Why don¡¯t you teach Ates as well while you¡¯re teaching me?¡± S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Athes?¡± Immediately after completing the deal to teach each other the sword and the power of the sun, Dio asked Dalimus one favor. It was none other than asking Artes to teach him sword techniques. ¡°That child¡­is not yet at the level to see that level.¡± Dalimus shook his head at Dio¡¯s request. ¡°It¡¯s not a field you can learn just because I teach you. Sword techniques can only be used by those who have reached the Sword Master level. Even if you play well, Artes is intermediate to a sword expert.¡± NPCs, not players, have a set sword level. The level of an expert who can handle aurors. And only after reaching the level of a top-level expert who can perfectly handle Aurors can one challenge the level of a sword master. ¡°Strength that is not in proportion is poison.¡± ¡°you¡¯re right.¡± What Dalimus was talking about was also something Dio knew. Nevertheless, the reason Dio made this request was because Artes also walked the path walked by the believers of the sun. ¡°The power I used. This can also be used by Artes.¡± ¡°what?¡± It was Dio who had asked Sepia to train Artes. As a result, although Ates could not handle the power of the sun as well as his other colleagues, he was able to use the power of the sun, albeit slightly. ¡°It¡¯s still immature, but Artes will train it and become stronger. If that happens, won¡¯t Ates be in danger just like me?¡± If you encounter people like Inspector Telzia who are obsessed with heresy or high-ranking priests, you cannot be sure that Ates will be safe. ¡°So, Artes also needs to learn how to control sword energy as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Dalimus fell into deep concern when Dio said that he must become stronger for the safety of Ates. Dalimus also wants the lion¡¯s blood to become stronger quickly. But he was worried. Is it really right for the current Artes to aim to become a sword master? Dio, who sensed Dalimus¡¯s mood, continued to open his mouth. ¡°I can assure you, having watched Artes from the side. He is reborn and will no longer run away.¡± As Dio continued to persuade Dalimus, he slowly opened his mouth as if he had made a decision. ¡°I don¡¯t think Artes can learn as quickly as you. However¡­¡± Dio says that Artes has been reborn. Those decisive words made me choose Dalimus. ¡°I promise. Even if Artes¡¯ growth is slow¡­ I will do my best as long as he doesn¡¯t give up on himself.¡± * * * In this situation, Dio and Ates were receiving their first guidance together from Dalimus. The first training they received was to endlessly swing this huge greatsword. Although it can be said to be a repetitive movement training that only beginners can do, this practice has several limitations. First of all, you may wonder if it is right to call it a sword. The huge greatsword is not simply a weapon made of iron. This is a weapon made of a special material called ¡®Osu¡¯, which is known to be the heaviest on the Order Board. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Osu Greatsword] Grade: Normal Classification: Weapon Level limit: 100 Required strength: 150 Attack power: 100 Description: Osro, a mineral known to be 10 times heavier than iron A training weapon created. Not suitable for battle. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª An item that appears to have been manufactured solely for training purposes. And you have to swing it with pure strength. This meant that it had to be done without the help of the Aurors operated by the knights. The reason knights are able to develop bodies and powers that surpass those of ordinary people is because they can handle ¡®Aurors¡¯. Wielding this heavy greatsword without using auras is no easy task. ¡®But I¡¯m still better.¡¯ Dio has limited the power of the sun instead of an auror, but he has a power that satisfies the required stats, so wielding it was not a problem. That doesn¡¯t mean it isn¡¯t difficult, though. ¡®But is increasing my strength of any use to me? Since it will be replaced by strength stat in the system anyway, it would be better to level up at that time.¡¯ Dio silently followed Dalimus¡¯ training, but was doubtful as to whether it was suitable for him. Rather, I wish I had been trained to feel the energy of sword energy like Schuwald taught me. ¡®Well, I¡¯ll teach you later. And it seems like this training was done with Artes in mind rather than me. For now, let¡¯s do as we are told.¡¯ Dio looked at Artes, who continued to swing his great sword even in his exhausted state. ¡°Then your muscles will tear.¡± ¡°Hahaha, it¡¯s still worth it.¡± Unlike the first time when he complained, Ates¡¯ enthusiasm burned to the point where it seemed excessive. ¡°I thought you would punish me for running away from home¡­ but I didn¡¯t expect you to forgive me so easily.¡± ¡°¡­Isn¡¯t this enough punishment?¡± After taking a short break, Artes continued talking to Dio. ¡°Duel with Brother Lennon¡­ Dio is going to be my substitute knight, right?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Honestly, I¡¯m embarrassed. It¡¯s a duel with my name on it, but I¡¯m hiding behind it. But¡­¡± Artes picked up the great sword that he had put down for a moment. ¡°I know my fractions too. I know that now I am no match for Lennon. And in this duel, my father would like to see Dio¡¯s skills rather than mine.¡± Ates, who had seen Dalimus for a long time, spoke as if he was disappointed, but it only lasted for a moment. ¡°Next time, I will confront you myself. certainly¡­!¡± ¡°Okay, cheer up.¡± Dio left the training ground alone, leaving Artes who was once again focusing on training like crazy. This is because the 10,000 swings instructed by Dalimus have already been achieved. He could train more on his own, but Dio had things to worry about regarding the power of the Bertio Duke family that was currently unfolding. * * * Dio accepted Dalimus¡¯ suggestion not to go outside and wandered around the manor. He was also able to collect considerable information about Bertio¡¯s successors by giving gold coins to the servants and guards working at the lord¡¯s castle. ¡®It¡¯s not much different from what I expected.¡¯ Dio returned to his residence and quietly lost himself in thought. Judging from Dalimus¡¯ remarks, the exact successor has not yet been decided. The only successor candidates are Lennon, the eldest son, and Artes, the second son. Among the two, the one known as the number one successor is Lennon Bertio. Lennon, who was not considered to have a very good personality, thought of himself as the next head of the family. However, it was not an issue that had much impact on the succession of successors. ¡®Because this is the type commonly seen in children of nobles.¡¯ Dio thought of the numerous nobles he had met on the order board. Honestly, in his experience, Artes was a special case. Ordinary aristocrats were more like Lennon. Moreover, Lennon is the eldest son of a duke who can be called a great nobleman among nobles. ¡®Lennon¡­ I think he¡¯s more self-sufficient than before he became the head of the family.¡¯ Dio gave his assessment of Lennon. Personality aside, the importance placed on the prestige of the dukedom is a factor in receiving a good evaluation within the family. Moreover, his talent for swordsmanship was also evident. In a famous swordsmanship, there is nothing more important than swordsmanship talent. Therefore, Lennon received most of the support from high-ranking elders who supported Bertio. Lennon was also aware of these facts, so he treated nobles, including the head of the family, who could have a great influence on the situation on the continent. ¡®Clearly, looking at it objectively, Artes has no choice but to be pushed out.¡¯ Dio thought about Artes fighting against Lennon. Artes was a hard worker with less talent than Lennon. However, as the gap showed no signs of narrowing, he eventually chose to leave the family and make a name for himself under the pretext of seeking romance. This was the worst choice in the Bertio family and the related succession struggle. Even those who followed Ates, who had a better personality than Lennon, gradually became attached to Lennon. ¡®What should I do¡­¡¯ Dio put his legs up on the table and thought about what position he should take. As a result of what happened in Oaks, the story of Ates¡¯s merits rather than his faults for running away from home spread widely. As a result, his support base will grow and will not decrease further than it is now. ¡®If we help Ates and place him in the position of head of the family¡­ we will definitely be able to obtain Bertio¡¯s cooperation.¡¯ Dalimus, the current head of the family, is also cooperative with Dio, but Dio is concerned about the future story where he dies within a year. It would be nice if Dalimus continued to hold the position of head of the family¡­ Dio, who had to deal with all situations, could not help but think about his successor. ¡®Duke Bertio and the eastern region can be an important background and base for me. ¡®You have to think and act carefully.¡¯ Duke Bertio could become an important bridgehead for Dio to escape the eyes of the Holy Kingdom and expand into the Central Continent. However, these things are not impossible even if we support Lennon, his older brother and number one successor, rather than Artes. ¡®He is hostile to me, but if you look at his personality¡­¡¯ People like Lennon do not oppose those who stand on their side. Dio was confident that he would kill the chamberlain who colluded with Lennon and take his place. ¡®If that happens, controlling him will be a piece of cake.¡¯ and. ¡®Should I use it or not¡­¡¯ I was also confident that I could make Lennon come down from his seat. * * * In front of the mirror, Dio smiled awkwardly when he saw himself neatly dressed, not in combat gear. ¡°Wow, that¡¯s really cool. Dear Dia! ¡°Aren¡¯t you really noble?¡± A maid¡¯s exclamation of admiration at Dio¡¯s appearance was heard. The reason I dressed up like this with her help was because I was invited by someone. ¡°If anyone is looking for me, let them know I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°All right!¡± Dio left behind the maid, who he had become quite friendly with during his stay in the castle, and went outside. The place you are invited to is not far away. Because it¡¯s Bertio¡¯s villa not far from where Dio stays. The villa is owned by none other than Lennon Bertio. Surprisingly, the person who invited Dio was Lennon, who had not had a very good first meeting. ¡®I have a rough guess¡­¡¯ Dio grinned and got on the carriage that Lennon had sent in advance. A dinner with the son of the greatest nobleman in the East, who may be either an enemy or an ally. This is truly a moment to look forward to. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 119 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 119Episode 119: A luxurious mansion with a panoramic view of the artificial lake. Dio walked around the park in front of the mansion, guided by an attendant who welcomed him. ¡®Lennon¡¯s social hall. ¡®It¡¯s been a while?¡¯ Dio had experienced the Duchy of Bertio, where Lennon was the head of the family, so memories of visiting this place also came to mind. ¡°He¡¯s waiting over there.¡± Dio entered the mansion under the guidance of an attendant. The place he remembered was a place where he could meet all kinds of nobles because it served as a social venue hosted by the Bertio family. And now, as expected, elegant nobles were socializing while wearing elegant clothes. ¡°This way.¡± Dio made his way through the crowd, following the attendant who guided him. ¡®They said they returned from the center, so it¡¯s going to be a party to commemorate this.¡¯ Given Lennon¡¯s love of showing off, grand parties like this were a common sight. Dio soon found Lennon surrounded by numerous nobles. It was easy to spot him because he was definitely different from other nobles in his appearance and the quality of his clothes. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lennon also seemed to have seen Dio, who was guided by his attendant, and greeted him by asking the nobles around him. ¡°I didn¡¯t know you would accept the invitation.¡± ¡°I have no reason to refuse.¡± Lennon¡¯s eyebrows twitched when he saw Dio not losing his composure on the stage he had prepared, but he soon maintained his composure. ¡°okay? Then go over there.¡± As if he didn¡¯t need any interruptions in his upcoming conversation, Lennon climbed the stairs and sat down at a table filled with food. A place where the social circles of nobles can be seen at a glance. After adjusting his well-dressed clothes, Dio sat down across from Lennon. * * * Dinner is just a formal invitation. Lennon got straight to the point, which was what Dio also wanted. ¡°Don¡¯t you know how foolish it is for the East to turn against me?¡± ¡°Well, you speak as if you are the owner of Bertio.¡± Dio snorted at Lennon¡¯s words. The sight of Lennon acting as if he had already become the head of the family, even though it wasn¡¯t clearly decided, was just funny to Dio. ¡°Why do you think I won¡¯t be the next head of the family?¡± Unlike in front of Dalimus, he looked relaxed. When Dio did not respond in particular, Lennon gestured with his chin at the nobles enjoying the banquet below. ¡°Do you know who they are supporting now? Not Ates, not my father. It¡¯s me. ¡°It can be seen as Lennon Bertio¡¯s force.¡± Dio was able to accurately understand Lennon¡¯s intention in inviting him to the dinner. He probably wants to show how great his position is within the Bertio family. ¡°My father is too closed-minded. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in things other than the sword and the East.¡± ¡°so?¡± ¡°If I become the head of the family, the great Bertio family will spread across the entire continent.¡± Dio nodded at Lennon¡¯s ambitious words. ¡°surely. ¡°There is a high possibility that you will be the next head of the family.¡± ¡°You¡¯re going to fight me knowing that?¡± When Dio admitted it obediently, Lennon was rather puzzled. ¡°What is the point of you fighting me on behalf of Ates?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°The story about your performance in Oaks¡­ Okay, I admit it. ¡°A righteous mercenary who will defeat the warlock together with Bertio.¡± Lennon also did not deny what Dio had done and tapped his knee with his finger. ¡°So you¡¯ll have to wait in line even harder. My father has no intention of sitting at the head of the family for long. ¡°I will hand everything over to the rightful successor and devote myself to the sword.¡± Lennon¡¯s eyes twinkled, confident that he was the ¡®rightful¡¯ successor. ¡°If you stand by me even now, I will gladly turn a blind eye to the insulting actions you have taken towards me.¡± Dio also laughed when Lennon said that he was being generous. Of course, the laugh was a mockery, but Lennon didn¡¯t seem to notice it. ¡°There aren¡¯t many people I would say this to. ¡°It means having a high opinion of your abilities.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what to do with myself.¡± Lennon¡¯s speaking style of praising his opponent continued. ¡°This duel cannot be avoided. Because it was decided by my father¡¯s command. You will act as Ates¡¯ substitute knight, right? Or¡­¡± Lennon thought of a man who was in Dio¡¯s group. ¡°Did your subordinate step forward? Probably not girls. ¡°Did you say spade?¡± Lennon said, singling out Roberto among Dio¡¯s companions. This meant that Lennon wasn¡¯t just watching Dio. ¡®You¡¯re not that stupid.¡¯ Dio nodded as he looked at Lennon, who was wary of others besides himself. In fact, Dio was thinking about putting forward either Roberto or Evelyn. ¡°Is there a need to make it that complicated? ¡°If you come out and lose the match¡­ I guarantee you a reward for it.¡± ¡°compensation?¡± ¡°okay. Whatever you think, I¡¯ll give you more. ¡°You won¡¯t forget who I am, right?¡± Dio looked shocked at Lennon¡¯s suggestion of match-fixing. ¡°I can give you a title and territory. ¡°What you¡¯re saying is that I¡¯ll be watching your back from now on.¡± ¡°Hoo¡­.¡± ¡°You took the Noble Phantasms one by one from the family warehouse? Haha, I promise to take care of more than just one thing.¡± Dio could not help but be tempted by the offer from Lennon, who was clearly a strong candidate for the position of the next head of the family. Lennon expected Dio to naturally accept this. Dio stood up halfway, approached Lennon and whispered something. Lennon¡¯s eyes widened. * * * Boom! Lennon hit the table hard as he looked at the empty space the mercenary had left. ¡°You idiot. ¡°Are you trying to catch this rotten rope?¡± Lennon gritted his teeth as he remembered the mercenary who refused his offer. This was like saying that the mercenary would stand in the line of Ates rather than himself. ¡°okay. Great. ¡°There is no need to show mercy to uneducated commoners.¡± At best, I said I would turn a blind eye to the insults. Lennon could not understand at all what he believed and why he was so picky. ¡®They seem to be full of the things they did in Oaks¡­¡¯ Lennon pondered the story the Chamberlain had told them. Although he did not completely believe the nonsense that they used sword techniques, Lennon was also aware that their skills were not average. ¡®I¡¯ll crush your proud nose. ¡®How dare you ignore me?¡¯ Lennon looked at his palm hitting the table. I wasted time for no reason. A stray dog that does not know anything about the subject will crawl on its own when faced with great force. ¡®Do you think I¡¯ll just be defeated by mercenaries? I think you¡¯re under the illusion that you¡¯re great right now¡­¡¯ Lennon clenched his fists. It did not matter which of the mercenaries stepped forward on behalf of Ates. Lennon gave a twisted smile as he thought of Dio kneeling before his power. ¡°You will regret it. ¡°It was too late in the face of the all-powerful ¡®power.¡¯¡± I will make you pay for your sin of not recognizing your master. * * * The reason Dio did not accept Lennon¡¯s offer was not necessarily because of what he experienced in the future. If Lennon, who has become the head of the family, commits a foolish act, Dio can intervene and stop it. However, D.O. is not in a position to devote time to this. As I said at the beginning, he can easily control the bastard Lennon, so there is nothing wrong with Dio if he has him as the boss. However, after a conversation with Lennon he had just met, Dio¡¯s thoughts changed. ¡®He wasn¡¯t just greedy.¡¯ The Lennon of Gaju that Dio remembered was quite different from the Lennon of today. Lennon of California was really foolish and stupid. A monarch who only knows how to satisfy his own self-interest. This is Lennon, who coldly denied even the aid of the forces that helped Bertio. But now is different than then. Although he had an eccentric personality, he was ambitious. Ambition to become the head of a family. ¡®A way to appease enemies¡­ quick calculation of profit and loss.¡¯ The reason Lennon tried to appease Dio was not because he was not confident about the upcoming duel. Lennon was thinking about the fame that Dio had in Ox. ¡®If you were an incompetent idiot, you wouldn¡¯t think this far.¡¯ He hoped that Dio himself would step forward in the duel. You, the leader of your group, will easily win the next duel? If so, it was clear that Lennon¡¯s position would soar even further. ¡®I guess they want to use me as a scapegoat¡­ I¡¯m sure there will be quite a few onlookers gathered.¡¯ Nowadays, Lennon cannot be sure that Dio can easily manipulate him. There is nothing that cannot be done, but the problem is that it takes time. From Dio¡¯s perspective as he continues Taeyang¡¯s mission, he cannot waste time dealing with Lennon. It would have been much better for Dio to use this opportunity to increase Ates¡¯ position and allow him to take over the position of head of the family on his own. ¡®Since I rejected the eldest son¡¯s offer, I will have to move completely along the Ates line.¡¯ I don¡¯t want to give up Bertio¡¯s cooperation. However, if the clever Lennon succeeds Dalimus, there will be no peace of mind. The worst situation could have happened, in which Bertio, who had been taken over by Lennon, might turn into an enemy. While Dio was thinking about what to do in this successor battle, he felt a sign of someone following him. ¡®Are you ready already?¡¯ As Dio left Lennon¡¯s villa, he noticed some nobles getting nervous. They received Lennon¡¯s instructions and followed Dio like they are now. ¡®You¡¯re making things bigger.¡¯ Dalimus wanted to end this matter quietly. However, it was too late for the duel to proceed quietly as Lennon was already using other nobles to dig up Dio¡¯s back. Dio also could no longer focus on duels. ¡®I need to shake him off.¡¯ The place where Dio is currently located was a large city called ¡®Malobon¡¯, the center of the duchy. Yeongju Castle located in the center of the city. Inside the lord¡¯s castle, three huge lots existed in the shape of a clover. The center lot was occupied by a mansion where the head of the Bertio family resided. And the site on the right is where the Knights¡¯ Mansion and external administrative buildings are located. On the opposite side of the Knights¡¯ Mansion and on the left side of the mansion, there was a mansion for the family members and the next head of the family. Lennon¡¯s villa was also located in the most scenic part of the site. Among these, the place where Dio lives is a building for external guests located next to the family¡¯s mansion complex. But Dio did not go there. ¡®I have to stop by Malobon¡¯s warehouse¡­¡¯ Originally, Dalimus was going to visit the warehouse leisurely once the commotion outside had calmed down, but Dio had a different idea. It is absolutely necessary for Dio to visit the warehouse first in preparation for the upcoming duel. Dio could not move easily in a situation where Lennon¡¯s subordinates were following behind, even though Dalimus had ordered it directly. It¡¯s clear that Lennon won¡¯t sit still if even the slightest thing is caught. ¡®But I have this.¡¯ Dio grinned and walked quickly. He went between the corners of the towering buildings and put on the invisibility cloak he had in his inventory. A unique invisibility cloak used in the large city of Rivernos. No one can see through this invisibility cloak except at a certain level. Some of Bertio¡¯s high-level knights could have noticed this, but Dio was not worried. ¡®If you move to the left lot, you won¡¯t get caught by them.¡¯ For Dio, getting out of the castle and avoiding the eyes of the knights was a piece of cake. Dio grinned as he watched Lennon¡¯s subordinates scrambling to find him, who had disappeared in an instant. Dio quietly left and checked to see if there was a knight guarding the main gate. Climbing the castle wall is a more dangerous act. The walls surrounding the lord¡¯s castle are usually barricaded with magic. ¡®In cases like this, the fastest and safest way is to pierce through the front.¡¯ After confirming that there were no security guards who would notice the invisibility cloak, Dio walked quietly once again. * * * A city where the sun is slowly setting. The large crowds disappeared one by one, leaving the streets of Malobon empty. Dio also finished all his errands at Malobon¡¯s warehouse and headed to the Lord¡¯s Castle with lighter steps. ¡®Well done myself.¡¯ What Dio praised internally was not something he was spouting out to himself. It was a compliment given to the player¡¯s Dio. That¡¯s because Malobon¡¯s warehouse is filled with valuable items he collected while traveling in the East. I remember the items there to some extent, but seeing them in person is a new experience. Dio stored all the items in Malobon in an infinitely expanded inventory. It is never too late to organize these many items and think about their uses one by one. ¡®I will become much stronger.¡¯ Dio had put on his invisibility cloak again to enter the castle. But at that moment, even though he was wearing an invisibility cloak, something intangible began to happen to Dio. Ssssssuk ¨C The landscape where Dio was walking began to change. ¡®This?¡¯ Dozens and hundreds of blades appeared from nowhere. Those blades not only blocked Dio¡¯s path, but also surrounded him, forming a dome. ¡®Sword Cage!¡¯ The blade in front of me was not magic. When the ¡®Auror¡¯ power of the knights reaches its peak, they can create a blade in the form of a sword like this. And the level of testing that can be used for this is extremely limited. ¡®It¡¯s not Dalimus. If that¡¯s the case¡­¡¯ Dio slowly turned around and a man with gray hair came into Dio¡¯s field of vision. A man looking clearly at Dio, who is wearing an invisibility cloak. The pinnacle of a sword that is on a different level from other sword masters. Swordmaster Gunther. The person who appeared before Dio was a man said to be the strongest in the empire. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 120 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 120Episode 120: He gave an interesting expression to Dio, who was looking at him silently. The momentary agitation he showed. It passed so quickly that no one else would have noticed, but Gunther¡¯s eyes could not be avoided. ¡°You seem to know me.¡± ¡°I have heard of Gunther¡¯s reputation. ¡°Isn¡¯t it weirder not to know?¡± Dio bowed his head in a polite tone. Dio had been trying hard to maintain his composure, but now he was extremely embarrassed. And Gunther must have been conscious of this as well. Although he is a living legend called Sword Master Gunther, he is different from other sword masters, including Dalimus. ¡®A man more worthy of being called the Empire¡¯s Best Sword Gunther rather than Sword Master¡­¡¯ Dio quickly shook his head. About the reason why he appeared before my eyes now. ¡®Did the emperor move early after receiving reports of Ox¡¯s affairs? He was a notable event.¡¯ It¡¯s not that Gunther¡¯s actions are completely incomprehensible if he was asked to dig up the backs of suspicious mercenaries. However, Dio was not sure whether he received the emperor¡¯s attention solely because of Ox¡¯s work. He expected that there was probably something he didn¡¯t know about this, but he couldn¡¯t ask it outright. ¡°It looks like your son was invited by Lennon.¡± Dio deduced a ¡®legitimate¡¯ reason for Gunther to be here now that was not related to the emperor¡¯s orders. Gunther is the person who receives the emperor¡¯s greatest trust. Whenever the emperor wanted to proceed with something secretly, he always did so through Gunther. In other words, Gunther¡¯s encounter with him now is something that is taking place in secret. It is problematic that he appears in Malovon, the center of the duchy, for no reason. There are many eyes in the world, and most powers will be watching Gunther¡¯s every move. ¡°That¡¯s right. My son seems to be getting along well with Bertio¡¯s eldest son. ¡°I also came here to meet an old friend.¡± Seeing Gunther grinning as if what you said was correct, Dio gulped and became convinced. Gunther, who appeared before his eyes, appeared only to meet him. My first guess was that Gunther followed his son here. Is that really true? If it was Gunter that Dio knew about, the possibility of that happening was significantly low. It is a military site that moves only at the command of the emperor. For him to act on such trivial matters is like the emperor wasting his own power. ¡®As long as the emperor shows interest in me, it is difficult to ignore him. Then¡­¡¯ This is an important moment in which we do not know how the relationship with the empire will continue through this meeting. A link to the Empire, the only force that can stand against the Luna Church on its own. This was the final destination that Dio could reach using Artes for the first time. ¡®We must maintain a good relationship with the emperor. ¡®You should avoid seeing me as someone to be wary of.¡¯ Dio thought about what he should do right now. To attack the emperor, you must first gain Gunther¡¯s favor. Dio opened his inventory. * * * A black-haired mercenary who appeared during the Ox incident. There are several reasons why the emperor was interested in this. If the rumors are true, it can be said that a genius who can use sword techniques has appeared at a young age. One of the few sword masters on the continent. In an era of chaos and fierce battle, the emperor cannot afford to miss out on such a talented person. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, the emperor expressed doubts there. For a person of that level of skill, his reputation must have spread widely. However, the unidentified mercenaries who were active in Ox literally seemed to have fallen from the sky. Recognizing this, the emperor felt the need to investigate. ¡®I heard that the Luna Church is being accused of heresy¡­¡¯ Gunther watched the mercenary closely, but he could not feel the magic energy that the heretics had in him. I¡¯m not sure, but it¡¯s closer to light than darkness. Did you say your name is Diamond? ¡®It must be an alias.¡¯ Gunther didn¡¯t think Diamond¡¯s name was real. If he hadn¡¯t lied about his identity, he would have heard of someone with this level of inaction at least once. Gunther opened his mouth after disarming the sword cage surrounding him. ¡°I was rude when we first met. ¡°You must be a mercenary who was active in Ox, right?¡± ¡°It is an honor to meet you. ¡°It¡¯s called Diamond.¡± Although he had stopped by Bertio with his son as Dia had said earlier, Gunther had come to see Dia at the emperor¡¯s order. And Gunther could tell that the other party also noticed this to some extent. ¡°Don¡¯t be too scared. From the looks of it, it looks like he sneaked out¡­ Please go in carefully.¡± Gunther was curious about Dia¡¯s purpose for walking the streets while hiding herself, but he did not inquire deeply. The mission given by the emperor was to investigate diamond mercenaries. And after finding out the true meaning of the numerous rumors surrounding him, he ordered him to be invited to the imperial castle if there were no problems. ¡®Since you have ordered us to refrain from armed conflict as much as possible¡­¡¯ Gunther decided that it would not be easy to hear the truth from Dia, who had only exchanged a few words. The mercenary in front of me was a very smart person. Perhaps even more so than the clever old men of the Magic Tower. In that case, Gunther thought it would be much better to stay by Diamond¡¯s side and watch her movements for a while. If it is determined that there is no problem, an invitation from the emperor will be delivered, and if there is a hint of heresy as rumored,¡­ ¡°I have a favor to ask of you, Gunther.¡± Dia¡¯s voice came from behind Gunther, who had finished his errand. ¡°ask?¡± The other person knows who they are. Nevertheless, I have something to ask of myself, whom I met for the first time today. Gunther¡¯s truly shameless attitude aroused curiosity. ¡°I would like you to pass this on to Delcid.¡± ¡°To my son?¡± Gunther looked puzzled when he heard Dia mention her son and hand him a sword. But even for a moment. Gunther knew the value of the sword handed to him and showed an expression of disbelief. ¡°What about this?¡± ¡°Deep in the north. ¡°This is ¡®Gram¡¯ rescued from the howling land.¡± * * * ¡°Wow, I finally got this precious thing.¡± Dio, who moved secretly through the alleys of Malobon, looked lovingly at the item at the top of the list in the warehouse. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Gram] Grade: Legend Classification: One-handed sword Level limit: 300 Required strength: 250 Required intelligence: 250 Physical attack power: 450 Magic attack power: 450 Magic defense power: 100 Attribute Resistance: 100 Special Effects: All stats +10% ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Thanks to the all-purpose jade, the weapon was not urgent, but that did not make Gram useless. The weapon itself has magic attack power, and even though it is a weapon, it has considerable magic defense and resistance. As the special effects are simple, they have excellent versatility. If you know the value of this item or are a skilled swordsman, you will not be able to pass this by. ¡®I have to use this no matter what. ¡®Nothing like cancer.¡¯ * * * The five-colored light emanating from Gram¡¯s handle created a beauty that Gunther had never seen before. Not only that, Gram¡¯s gently shining blade was sharp enough to deflect even the invisible wind. ¡®It has excellent balance even among legendary weapons.¡¯ It was a powerful item that wouldn¡¯t be surprising if Dio used it as his main weapon right now. Gram has its own stat +10% effect. When he got his hands on Gram, Dio clearly decided to use it himself. It was such a waste to give it to someone else without being able to use it even once, but given the circumstances, I had no choice. If you think of it as an investment to gain Gunther¡¯s favor, it is an understandable expenditure. ¡°Gram¡­that¡¯s a good name. Why is it so precious? ¡°Are you acquainted with my son?¡± ¡°no. However¡­ I heard that Delcid¡¯s qualifications are very outstanding. As someone who walks the same path of the sword, I want to have a good relationship with Sid. ¡°It¡¯s a kind of bribe.¡± ¡°her?¡± Gunther let out a laugh as if he was dumbfounded by Dio¡¯s words. Dio¡¯s attitude when he boldly called it a bribe was quite different from the people Gunther had met so far. There were many people who wanted to impress Gunther, who was directly subordinate to the emperor and was his closest associate. Gunther received many gifts, and they all said this. I don¡¯t want anything. It¡¯s just something they want to give. But Gunther knows. Their snarky intentions are to ask for help when a problem arises. ¡°I hate to say this, but it¡¯s hard to find someone my age with whom I can cross swords.¡± ¡°ha ha ha!¡± Gunther laughed heartily at what Dio meant by saying it was a tribute to his own growth. How long has it been since I laughed? ¡°okay. This is just a request. You can listen to me anytime. Then I will accept it without any burden on my part.¡± Dio smiled inwardly as he saw Gunther willingly accepting the well-packaged ¡®tribute¡¯. This was done based on the judgment of Dio, who accurately knows Gunther¡¯s personality. ¡®It¡¯s hard to accept a gift that doesn¡¯t cost anything.¡¯ Gunther doesn¡¯t like people who spin stories or are dishonest. So Dio openly said it was a bribe and clearly announced the compensation for it. And the subject of the compensation and bribe for this is not Gunther, but his son, ¡®Delcid¡¯. ¡°Delcid should also be on guard, right? ¡°I want to compete with you, the one who defeated Luave.¡± Gunther looked around and spoke quietly. Gunther, who had originally not planned to ask anything about the Ox situation, saw a change in Dio¡¯s attitude. Not about the situation, but to gauge Dio¡¯s level in confronting Luave. ¡°Tell me. ¡°What was it like dealing with Luave?¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the help of my colleagues, I would have died.¡± Dio answered honestly. I am not yet up to Luave¡¯s level. Of course, I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m armed with all kinds of items. ¡°Okay¡­I gave you a big burden.¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°Actually, I have encountered Luave before. ¡°At that time, I was trying out a new sword technique, but I was so immature that I couldn¡¯t catch it running away.¡± Dio was secretly surprised by Gunther¡¯s tone of voice, as if he was speaking jokingly to an old friend. I wasn¡¯t surprised to hear that Gunther missed Luave because he was treating him like a quality toy. The fact that he freely shared his mistakes with the person he met for the first time today was like saying that he had the slightest kindness. ¡®Gunther may not fully represent the Emperor, but¡­ it¡¯s a good sign for me.¡¯ Dio decided that it would not be a good idea to talk any longer with Gunther in a harvest day situation. If the story continues like this, Gunther will dig deeper into himself. Even though he shows kindness, he can¡¯t tell Gunther exactly what happened in Oaks. This was because Dio did not know how much the Empire knew about the power of the sun. ¡°I think I should go back now. ¡°If I get a chance later, I want to share the stories I couldn¡¯t tell you today.¡± ¡°¡­I understand.¡± Dio quickly walked away, bowing to Gunther, who was smiling at him. Gunther left Dio¡¯s disappearing figure behind him and looked down at Gram. It was only later that Gunther noticed it. The fact that you are now swayed by the other person¡¯s words. ¡°Are you a funny guy?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 121 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 121Episode 121 ¡°It¡¯s a good sword.¡± Gunther looked at Gram and thought about the mercenary he had just encountered. Usually people ask useless questions in order to talk to themselves for longer. So it¡¯s been a very long time. The other person who recommends breaking up before Gunther himself leaves. As if he didn¡¯t want the story to be long. ¡®You can¡¯t behave like this even though you know that you came under His Majesty¡¯s orders.¡¯ Is he doing this because he knows I can¡¯t touch him? Or is he just acting the way he wants to? The more I thought about it, the more I became curious about his true identity. -If I get a chance, I would like to share the stories I couldn¡¯t tell you today. Gunther recalled Dia¡¯s last words. It was as if he had a story to tell, but couldn¡¯t tell it right now. ¡°He¡¯s not just a man who knows how to swing a sword.¡± When it comes to swordsmanship, skill is important, but head fighting is also important. Making a move by anticipating the next move and how the opponent will behave. That is the quality of a perfect prosecutor. ¡®I guess I¡¯ll just have to report this for now.¡¯ Through this brief encounter, Gunther was unable to completely understand the existence of Diamond, but he was certain of one thing. That means the knowledge is very high. I feel a level of expertise that I would never feel from a man of similar age to my son. Gunther, who is now approaching the age of half a century, has met many people over a short but long period of time. Have you ever been swayed like this by simple words? Although I received from him a great treasure called Gram. Gunther was puzzled by the fact that he received this without any burden. Didn¡¯t he end up being liked as a result? Of course, even if he had not received the sword, he would have been sufficiently interested and well-liked. ¡®Dalimus¡¯ eldest son¡­he messed with a beehive for no reason.¡¯ Gunther recalled the rumor he heard as soon as he entered Bertio¡¯s territory. It¡¯s a rumor that¡¯s being whispered about, but everyone knows it. The story is that a mercenary who was active in Ox fights a duel with Lennon on behalf of Artes. The eldest son of the Bertio family had a reputation as a promising talent just as much as his own son. Gunther also recognized this, having seen his skills before. It is not clear exactly what level of DIA¡¯s skills are. However, Gunther can predict the level. Survived a confrontation with Luave. This was impossible unless you were a sword expert or higher. Just looking at this, DIA¡¯s skills are superior to those of Del Cid and Lennon, but they can never be considered lower. ¡®It will be a very interesting match.¡¯ * * * ¡°Whoa ¨C I feel like I only run into people who are difficult to deal with these days.¡± Dio, who returned to the room, muttered as if complaining. Currently, Dio is calling the group and telling them about his encounter with Swordmaster Gunther. On the order board, there are characters who are deeply connected to the players and scenarios, such as Gunther. The more you understand these people, the higher your chances of surviving the Order Board will be, so Dio will tell Gunther¡¯s story to his colleagues. ¡°Why did that amazing person come to meet Dio?¡± ¡°Because he was so rampant in Ox¡­ Even if that wasn¡¯t the case, the opponent was Luave, so the Empire should be interested as well.¡± Dio also thought carefully about Sepia¡¯s question. It is natural that the stronger you become and the greater your threat, the higher your reputation will increase. The reputation system that exists on the order board also had this effect. ¡°There is something more important than us becoming stronger now. Does anyone know what it is?¡± ¡°We need to find out who the force that remembers the forgotten god is, right? ¡°Only then will we be able to decide on a side that can fight against Luna.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Dio snapped his fingers at Sepia, who had correctly guessed the answer he wanted. ¡°The seven stars help, but they are not enough. Even if they don¡¯t cooperate with us, we should at least make them not hostile towards us.¡± Even as Dio, who boasts of being a deceased person, there was no information related to the forgotten god in his mind. We simply infer new information by combining it with past information. I didn¡¯t know that some of the Pentacles were followers of the Forgotten God, and I didn¡¯t know that one of them, the Witch of Balance, founded the Bertio family. If so, there will be people in the Empire who know or are related to the Forgotten God. ¡°I thought Gunther didn¡¯t know, but the emperor might know.¡± ¡°Anyway, I guess I can¡¯t avoid Gunther¡¯s surveillance as long as I¡¯m in Bertio.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. We may need to proceed with a little more caution. There is a need to refrain from making hostile comments or actions. ¡°Are you guys listening?¡± Dio turned his head not towards Sepia but towards the other party members who had not responded so far. Then Evelyn and Robert nodded at the same time. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Okay, but can I keep the rest? ¡°Because Roberto got one more than me.¡± ¡°It looks like you suffered a serious head injury. ¡°Gauntlets are originally a pair of two.¡± After Dio¡¯s story ended, Evelyn and Roberto chatted as if they had an untold story between them. Their conversation was about the numerous items that Dio had brought from the warehouse. Numerous items brought from Malobon. Dio immediately distributed the most necessary items to the group. But even then, there were quite a few useful things left. There is no need to save on artifacts and tools that can be useful to anyone. Dio piled the rest on the floor for those who wanted to take care of them. Eveline and Roberto were fighting to get it. ¡°Let¡¯s get along and make some concessions.¡± ¡°But Dio! ¡°Look at what¡¯s hanging around that guy¡¯s neck!¡± At Roberto¡¯s shout, Dio was able to discover the necklace hanging around Evelyn¡¯s neck. ¡°Hey¡­the necklace¡¯s effects don¡¯t stack.¡± ¡°Eek! ¡°But this necklace is shaped like a cross!¡± ¡°Whatever that is!¡± The sight of vampire Roberto confidently asking what was wrong with the cross necklace was truly awkward. Recently, as we became closer while taking care of Evelyn, it seems like she is becoming more and more stupid. ¡°Anyway, this is going as planned. Be aware of Gunther¡¯s existence.¡± ¡°What was the original plan?¡± Dio wiped his face in response to Evelyn¡¯s question, which he had not heard because he was in the middle of a fight with Roberto. But what can you do? I have no choice but to explain it to my poor companions once again. * * * The four days that Dalimus promised had passed. The brightly clear weather seemed to bless the special event that was about to take place. Powerful families from all over the continent, including the eastern region, the central, southern, and northern regions, gathered in one place. Their destination is none other than the Duchy of Bertio. Malobon, the most developed city among the territories. Numerous carriage processions entering Malobon. Because there were so many of them, it was only natural that the checkpoints were congested. And in anticipation of this, the nobles who arrived at the castle a day earlier were having a social gathering at the banquet hall prepared by the dukedom. ¡°Hello, Baron Fitzwalter.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a while. ¡°Viscount Dors.¡± ¡°As expected, it¡¯s Bertio. ¡°All the people who are difficult to see have gathered here.¡± ¡°Of course. Because this incident could change Bertio¡¯s successor.¡± ¡°yes? ¡°From what I heard, it¡¯s not related to selecting a successor?¡± The nobles gathered here now were not the only ones invited by Lennon himself. There were many other nobles who visited after only hearing the rumors spread by Lennon, so they did not know the details of this incident, causing confusion in the conversation. Therefore, the absurd rumors became even more inflated, and their expectations also grew. Although the details are different, if you dismiss the story they heard, it contained this content. Lennon and Ates are eligible heirs to the Duke of Bertio. Depending on the outcome of the duel between the two, the head of the family, Dalimus, will award the winner the position of official successor. Of course, this is different from the truth. Dalimus thought it was a light duel that had nothing to do with the position of successor, and the source of the inflated rumors was mostly Lennon¡¯s scheme. Lennon, who had guaranteed victory in this duel, wanted to use his momentum after victory to let Dalimus know that he was the true successor. ¡°Lennon¡­ I heard he rose to the position of senior expert at the age of 24.¡± ¡°I guess becoming a sword master at the age of 30 isn¡¯t just nonsense.¡± ¡°But this time, I heard that the second son is being sent as a substitute driver?¡± ¡°Deputy driver? ¡°Among the forces supporting the second son, is there a knight who can compete with the eldest son?¡± ¡°Oh, you know. In Ox¡­¡± ¡°The mercenary who defeated Luave? ¡°Was it true that Master Ates was acquainted with them?¡± ¡°What would happen if they got attached to the second son¡­¡± ¡°Amazing? Still, Luave said he received help from the Luna Church and Vertio veteran knights.¡± ¡°Well, I guess I couldn¡¯t have defeated the infamous Luave on my own.¡± ¡°Yes, I guess adding a little extra effort is exaggerated.¡± The nobles also knew in detail about Luave¡¯s notoriety, so they did not think that Dio defeated Luave alone. However, because of the testimony of numerous eyewitnesses, it was acknowledged that helping to eradicate Luave would be strong enough to be possible. The assumption made by most nobles was that the mercenary would also be strong enough to rival Lennon. ¡°If this happens, won¡¯t the second son¡¯s side be able to win?¡± ¡°Well, he¡¯s a mercenary anyway¡­¡± ¡°No. They said he was a mercenary who rose to the S-class rank. ¡°If the rumors are true, won¡¯t your eldest son have a hard time?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°If the rumors are true.¡± The nobles talked with excitement. Their purpose was to see how Bertio¡¯s succession battle would turn out, but they couldn¡¯t help but be interested in the fun of the original duel as well. ¡°The nobles in the hall, please move to the amphitheater.¡± The butler¡¯s voice rang out to announce that the time had come to the nobles in the banquet hall. ¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to it.¡± ¡°No matter who wins, there will be a big impact in the East.¡± The nobles could not hide their excitement about the upcoming duel and moved to the stadium guided by servants. Bertio¡¯s amphitheater located inside the castle. As a master of swordsmanship, Bertio used to hold duels of knights every year. And there was no better place to hold such a special event than here. ¡°Do you believe what they say, father?¡± Aside from the position of head of the family, one of the people seated at the highest table spoke. He was the son of Swordmaster Gunther and Delcid, who had been invited by Lennon to the imperial capital. And the person he is talking to is Swordmaster Gunther. Because they had a superior status than other nobles and were his close friends, Dalimus gave them special treatment. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Things like Ox¡¯s mercenaries using sword techniques.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when you watch. But I think it will be a fun duel, so watch and learn.¡± Gunther remembered the mercenary he met the other day and grinned. The Gram he requested has not yet been delivered to Delcid. This is because they promised, but did not say when they would deliver it. It is foolish to use Gram simply to express favor. Gunther assured that Delcid¡¯s mindset would change in this duel. ¡®If you realize that the world is wide, your growth will accelerate further.¡¯ Dio¡¯s words when he slyly said that there was no one he could cross swords with. Those words were something Delcid also lived by. Clearly, Gunther also recognized Delcid as his own blood relative. However, after meeting D.O., my thoughts changed. That confidence, which may be arrogant, suits you, perhaps because it is meant for just one person. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 122 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 122Episode 122: As numerous nobles moved to the stadium and sat down on chairs, a man in a red robe appeared in front of them. ¡°His Royal Highness Duke Dalimus is entering!¡± A typical event begins with introducing the person with the highest rank. When the wizard assigned to Bertio spoke to everyone in a voice amplified by magic, all the nobles stood up. ¡°It was hard to come this far. Since it was a family matter, I wanted to proceed quietly, but¡­¡± Dalimus, who looked displeased with something, began his speech. Originally, Dalimus had no intention of conducting a duel on such a grand scale. However, there was no way to drive out the nobles who came after hearing the rumor. Even though Dalimus didn¡¯t pay attention to what others thought, there was no need to be hostile towards them. Lennon¡¯s call to the nobles was aimed at this aspect of Dalimus. ¡°Anyway, everyone is welcome. ¡°I will begin a sacred duel for honor.¡± When the short speech ended, the people in the audience cheered. The duel within the Bertio family that finally begins is nothing short of the best event in the East. As the stadium heats up, one person walks through the middle of the stadium. One of the protagonists of this duel was Lennon Bertio. -Lennon! Lennon! Not all of the nobles in the audience supported Lennon, but many of them were close friends of Lennon. So, most of the cheers from the audience were overwhelmingly cheering for Lennon. In the first place, Lennon sent a letter to the nobles who supported him asking them to attend this duel without Dalimus¡¯ knowledge, so it was only natural. That is why even nobles who value dignity were able to raise their voices loudly. Chuck-Chuck- Lennon walked out to the center of the stadium to the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd. A face like a nobleman. And the solid skeleton that he must have inherited from Dalimus was so good that it aroused admiration from those who saw it. -Wow! -Lennon! Lennon! Countless applause and applause rang even louder. This was heard especially loudly among the noble ladies who smiled passionately as if wooing Lennon. Bertio, the next California candidate who may be in charge of the eastern region in the future. Not to mention talent, there was no chosen partner yet. There was no doubt that Lennon was a first-class groom, and there were many nobles here who sent their daughters in pursuit of this. While everyone welcomed Lennon, only one person did not welcome him. ¡°¡­.¡± Dalimus expressed his complicated feelings as he looked at Lennon standing triumphantly. What people¡¯s attention was focused on was none other than their own children. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was something to be proud of, but he was worried about whether things were going according to Lennon¡¯s plan. If we only look at the political aspect, Lennon¡¯s arbitrary actions were by no means bad actions from Bertio¡¯s point of view. Leaving aside the fact that Lennon was the eldest son, this was an opportunity to publicize Bertio¡¯s talent widely on the continent. In any case, the gathering of nobles was like spilled water. No matter how things progressed in the future, Dalimus watched the stadium, hoping that things would not escalate any further. The opponent to face Lennon was just coming forward. A helmet that covers the entire face, and even gauntlets that stick out like reptile scales. As a warrior fully armed with jet black crossed the stadium, the shouts of the nobles quieted down like ghosts. The audience knew that Lennon¡¯s opponent was Artes¡¯ agent. Therefore, not many people supported the mercenary, not even Artes himself, but only rumors abounded. ¡°Tsk, the second son is quite ugly too.¡± Delkid, who was sitting next to Gunther and clicking his tongue, opened his mouth. His eyes were looking at Ates, Bertio¡¯s second son, who was seated next to Dalimus. ¡°No matter how different your skills are, shouldn¡¯t you stand up for yourself?¡± ¡°The ability to understand the topic is also necessary.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t seem like such a poor guy. ¡°It looks like you¡¯ve trained quite a bit.¡± Despite Gunther¡¯s words, Delcid seemed to have no intention of bending his thoughts. Artes was smaller than Lennon, but his body was just as disciplined. Through this, Delcid was able to see that the momentum he possessed was not small at all. So I didn¡¯t understand it even more. The son of a great swordsman hides behind a substitute knight. And the nobles who had the same thoughts as Delcid also clicked their tongues and pointed their fingers at Ates. -Wow! -Who is that person? Contrary to Lennon, cheers of admiration erupted from the audience, who had not cheered much for Artes. This was because the black knight who represented Ates took off the helmet that covered his face. The sunlight shining down doesn¡¯t seem that strong, so what¡¯s so dazzling? The young ladies make a fuss as they see the handsome man with a frown on his face. ¡°This is Spade, Master Artes¡¯ deputy knight. Please take care of me.¡± Roberto, who looked more like a nobleman than a nobleman, opened his mouth. Everyone watching this had different reactions. The girls are crazy about Roberto¡¯s appearance, which shines exceptionally in the white sunlight. And Dalimus¡¯ eyebrows also rose, as he had not expected that it was Roberto and not Dio. ¡°Ha ha ha ha ha!¡± And like Dalimus, another person who thought Dio would come forward was Gunter. He burst into laughter wondering what was so funny. ¡°What¡¯s so funny?¡± ¡°Haha no. okay. Right.¡± Delcid, who had never met Dio, left Gunther, who was having fun alone, and watched Roberto closely, standing next to Lennon. ¡°He was very handsome.¡± However, Delcid did not know whether he possessed strength comparable to Lennon. And strangely, the mercenary who introduced himself as Spade did not seem to like sunlight. Among these various reactions. One person among the crowd bent down, pulling on his hood. * * * While the heat in the amphitheater was heating up, Dio, the person who had a fight with Lennon, was not there. This is because there are things that must be done in future plans. ¡®Eastern region purification quest. ¡®There¡¯s only one chance now.¡¯ Dio recalled the time when he was raising a knight class among max level characters. In order to raise the knight class, whose reputation on the continent was more important than that of other classes, Dio traveled to many more regions than other classes. The wider your radius of action, the more your reputation will spread to many places. And at that time, Dio was able to find a hidden quest related to the purification of the eastern region. This quest can be performed by players with an appropriate level of 200 or higher, and the reward is quite unique. Let¡¯s briefly summarize the rewards. It allows players who complete the quest to have advantageous interactions with people related to honor throughout the East and within the Empire. Reputation value given to the player. The higher your reputation, the more people will recognize you, and you will be eligible for quests with high rewards. However, fame is as difficult and time-consuming as leveling up. However, Dio¡¯s reputation is limited by the Luna Church. Likewise, what happened in Oaks this time also means that if the Luna Church had not claimed him to be a heretic, his reputation would have been much higher than it is now. In any case, since Dio cannot rise to fame normally, this quest is the only way to receive the rewards that come with fame. ¡®My level is now over 300. To level up faster, simply hunting is not enough.¡¯ It is not easy to raise to level 300 on the order board, but among real experts, level 300 is considered to be the real turning point. The section where the experience required increases exponentially every time you level up is called ¡®Hell¡¯ even among players. Players who entered the Hell section realized early on that it was not easy to level up using normal hunting methods. So in the end, the only way is to clear quests with high risk factors. The problem was that all quests suitable for level 300 players boasted extremely difficult levels. One way to solve this problem is reputation. As the player¡¯s reputation increases, the number of people who help him increases and even lowers the difficulty of quests. This is exactly what Dio was aiming for now. This hidden quest allows you to gain advantageous situations by building reputation without having to work hard to build it. In other words, even if his reputation is low, important people on the order board recognize Dio, who solved this hidden quest, and treat him favorably. ¡®Even if we could solve this, it would still be difficult.¡¯ Of course, lowering the difficulty of the quest only means that it is easier than before, but it does not mean that you can easily solve it and collect the rewards. However, Dio did not think that the advantage of this quest was simply to level up more easily than now. I realized early on that it was impossible to fight against the Luna Church on my own. Among the talented people involved in this, meeting people who may not be colleagues but who can help is what D.O. needed right now. ¡®It was a hidden quest with no strategy.¡¯ I knew several old people, including Dio, who knew that this Hidden Quest would exist. Dio was thinking of applying it. * * * First, Dio had to find the item that was the starting point of the quest. Only if you have this item can you finally complete the hidden quest. And Dio knows that it is in the knights¡¯ quarters in Lord Bertio¡¯s Castle. ¡®I figured out how to sneak in, and it worked out really well.¡¯ Dio had the intention from the beginning to take as much as he could from Bertio. One of them was a hidden quest, and suddenly Dalimus created the stage, making it easy to complete. Because now that the duel begins, the knights¡¯ quarters are empty. Since it is an event related to the succession to the next head of the family, most knights are on high alert around the amphitheater. Moreover, it is natural that even off-duty drivers were curious about the match between the two and voluntarily headed to the stadium. For skilled Vertio knights, the invisibility cloak would not have much effect. So now that they were empty, it was a very opportune time for Dio. Squeak ¨C Dio opened the door to the dorm, looking around to see if anyone else was there. He skillfully moved his body and headed toward the center of the dorm. ¡®The maids might come to clean it, so as quickly as possible¡­¡¯ Dio stood tall in the middle of the quite messy accommodation. He is standing in the center of the main hall. And I saw four pillars supporting the center. ¡®Three steps to the right.¡¯ Dio walked slowly and looked at the marble tiles that decorated the floor of the hotel. Kang! Dio, who assured that it was the exact location in his memory, removed the tile to reveal the floor. Sigh! Patter ¨C Dio put on a gauntlet taken from his inventory, put his fingers together, and penetrated the hard stone floor. Due to Dio¡¯s strength, he broke through the hard stone floor as easily as tofu, and eventually he was able to hold one object in his hand. ¡°Phew-¡± A water drop-shaped gem with a lot of dust stuck to it. As Dio blew it with his mouth, the jewel that had been dormant for a long time showed off its brilliant color. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 123 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 123 S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Episode 123: The darkness of the eastern region lurks knowingly or unknowingly. It refers to a scenario in the eastern region that is inevitably intertwined with the demon lord who will be resurrected. And an essential item to ¡®purify¡¯ one of those scenarios. That was the water drop-shaped gem that Dio was currently holding. How long was it buried? Maybe it was there before the knights¡¯ dormitory was built. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Tears of Moonlight] Grade: Myth Category: Quest Item Description: If you bring an item with a specific attribute, you can find items with the same attribute as that item. . ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°Good.¡± Dio smiled as if satisfied with the accurate explanation of the system. And as he expected, Tiring! And a hidden quest appeared before his eyes. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Quest: Protect the honor of the famous swordsman] A dark shadow is falling over the historic Duke of Bertio. Use the Tears of Moonlight to uncover the truth and protect your honor. Reward: Significantly increases the friendliness of those who value honor. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After confirming that Dio had successfully received the quest, he closed the system window. The desired goal has been achieved, so now all we have to do is go back. This is a stadium where a duel is in progress. * * * ¡°Nonsense!¡± ¡°It is indeed as good as rumored!¡± ¡°You¡¯re no match for me, right?¡± The sound of cheers from the crowd filling the amphitheater. Dalimus frowned at this, and Ates next to him didn¡¯t look good either. Only Gunther looked like he was expecting something more interesting, but Delcid was just yawning as if he was bored. The amphitheater they are watching. In it, a fallen Roberto wearing jet-black armor was seen, and Lennon was drunk in victory with both arms raised to the crowd. ¡®I was worried for no reason.¡¯ Lennon, who was looking relaxed at the nobles cheering enthusiastically, thought. In his confrontation with Spade, a cocky mercenary subordinate, Lennon recalled the duel he had just won in which he easily won. A jet-black weapon that looks quite good. However, after playing a few moves against Spades, Lennon could see that his skills were no match for him. A move that is obvious to anyone. Spade¡¯s movements were very skilled and fast, as was rumored to be a mercenary who was active in Ox. So much so that even Bertio¡¯s senior knights couldn¡¯t guarantee it. However, the opponent is Lennon Bertio. The spade¡¯s movements were certainly threatening, but that was all. Despite wearing a powerful-looking gauntlet, Spade¡¯s attack was never able to penetrate Lennon¡¯s defense. If it weren¡¯t for the equipment Spade was wearing, the game would have gone much faster than it is now. ¡°You attacked me with only mediocre skills?¡± It was so similar that I couldn¡¯t even laugh. ¡°It¡¯s obvious what the mercenaries think. I don¡¯t even know the topic. ¡°I see how you¡¯ve been deceiving everyone with your remaining tricks¡­ but it¡¯s beyond me.¡± Lennon walked up to the fallen Roberto. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that your leader doesn¡¯t show up. ¡°He would have been a worthless guy like you anyway.¡± Lennon thought of Diamond, but did not think much about her any more. Anyway, what is important is this duel. It doesn¡¯t change the fact that he won this duel. However, there is still one thing left to do to complete this task perfectly. Chuck- Lennon took off the helmet Roberto was wearing with his sword and pointed it at Roberto¡¯s neck. ¡®Even the Ox mercenary who was rumored to have captured Luave¡­ everyone saw that he was no match for me in the end.¡¯ Dalimus nailed it, saying that this matter was not related to the selection of the family¡¯s successor. But that¡¯s just Dalimus¡¯s opinion. Would the nobles who watched this entire scene think the same way as Dalimus? It was precisely this stage that Lennon was aiming for. A stage to prove your skills in front of a large audience. What kind of ending will those who stand against and announce that they are the only and rightful successors face? ¡°Listen!¡± Lennon shouted, pointing his sword at Roberto¡¯s neck, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. ¡°The winner of this honorable duel is I, Lennon Bertio, and I will exercise the winner¡¯s rights!¡± The crowd whispered about exercising the winner¡¯s right, but Lennon paid no attention and continued talking. ¡°Ates, the applicant for the proxy duel, cannot be killed because he is of lion blood, so by killing him, I will forgive all of his unsavory actions against me.¡± The nobles agreed to Lennon¡¯s words that they would treat Ates, the target of the duel, favorably by killing the deputy knight. It is very common for ordinary nobles to lose the proxy knight¡¯s head when they lose in a proxy duel. Ates, who would forgive a commoner just by sacrificing his head, seemed to others to be very considerate. And this is what Ates intended. With this, the few forces that support Ates will also turn their backs. ¡°Blame your ugly captain.¡± Lennon had ample reason to kill Roberto. Otherwise, Dalimus wouldn¡¯t have just watched this. The moment Lennon raised his sword high in the sky and aimed it at Roberto¡¯s neck. ¡°for a moment!¡± The audience, who had been watching Lennon¡¯s punishment with bated breath, looked towards the place where the voice rang out. And one man in their eyes. The dark gray coat he was wearing was an unfamiliar outfit on the continent, but it didn¡¯t feel out of place at all. It was the appearance of Dio, who could be said to be the real protagonist of Ox. * * * ¡°Who is he?¡± ¡°Is it okay to invade during a duel?¡± ¡°Get that intruder out now!¡± ¡°No, wait a minute. ¡°I think the author is also one of the mercenaries active in Ox?¡± Dio approached Lennon, ignoring the numerous eyes that were focused on him. Lennon, who was about to cut off Roberto¡¯s head, hesitated, perhaps because of Dio¡¯s shouting. I never thought that Dio would break in during the duel. If he continued the execution while ignoring Dio¡¯s request, it would not fit the image of a benevolent monarch that he had portrayed so far. This is also one of the dishonorable acts. ¡°What is this?¡± It was not Lennon who stopped Dio from approaching the fallen Roberto. These were the words spoken by Dalimus, who was watching all this from the head table. Despite his not-so-loud voice, the force that Dalimus gave off was enormous. Kugu Gung ¨C Those who have reached the level of sword masters can pressure their opponents with just the momentum they generate. A state where physical force can be applied using auras that are invisible to the ordinary eye. They were the Sword Masters, and soon the huge aura emitted by Dalimus spread out in all directions. ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°Gagging-¡± Some of the nobles who were close to Dalimus were unable to withstand the aura he emitted and fainted. The other warriors from outside did not lose their minds, but they trembled before the power of the King of the East, whom they had only heard of through rumors. ¡°That guy must be very angry.¡± Unlike the others, Gunther, whose expression did not change at all, muttered to himself. Unlike Gunther, who was carefree, Delcid next to him was panting as if he had difficulty withstanding Dalimus¡¯s momentum. Delceed, who soon regained his composure, pointed at Dio, who suddenly broke in and surprised everyone. ¡°Who on earth is the author?¡± What surprised Delcid was that the author arbitrarily intervened in a game that was over without the head of the family¡¯s permission, but there was something else even more surprising than that. ¡®I can¡¯t breathe just by passing by, but what about the author?¡¯ A mercenary who takes the brunt of the energy emitted by Dalimus and still stands unharmed. Are you saying that the author, who appears to be around the same age as you, is close to becoming a sword master? Delcid seemed to vaguely understand why his father was paying attention to that person. At that unbelievable reality, Delcid just looked at Dio with a blank expression, and Gunther just smiled wordlessly in response to Delcid¡¯s question. * * * Dio gathered his numb body and bowed his head politely towards Dalimus. When I first met him, I couldn¡¯t face him properly, but now it¡¯s different. Although his level was 300, Dio was able to show off his skills at level 350 thanks to his stats thanks to Solari¡¯s blessing. And Dio, armed with items from the Malobon warehouse, was much stronger than when he was in Ox. ¡®Roberto worked hard for me.¡¯ Dio had already finished work and arrived at the stadium, but he did not come out and was waiting for the right moment. The right timing refers to a dramatic situation. I was conscious of the eyes of the audience who were disappointed by the match that ended poorly. This is because they expect something to happen in the future and will watch their intrusion. But the wall called Dalimus still remains. He is in a position to criticize Dio for his unruly behavior in this sacred duel. ¡°I apologize for arbitrarily intruding into the sacred duel. But the duel is over and I see no reason to take your life.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not up to you to decide.¡± Dalimus spoke without losing his energy at Dio¡¯s words. ¡°Actually, I was originally going to participate in this duel as a substitute knight, but due to the injury I received in Ox, my colleague Spade stepped in instead.¡± Dio calmly began to persuade all the audience, including Dalimus, with the story he had already planned. The persuasion begins with helping Bertio up. ¡°My honor and pride are crying out for my colleague to die because of me, so I came forward like this. ¡°Please consider us with great generosity.¡± Honor and pride emphasized by D.O. This was a word that could not be ignored by anyone who walked the path of a knight, even if he was not Bertio, a master of swordsmanship. ¡°He¡¯s a guy who knows a little about honor.¡± ¡°I see he¡¯s the leader of the mercenary group that was active in Ox?¡± ¡°Indeed¡­ if the rumors are true, it makes sense to withstand the duke¡¯s aura. ¡°He is a coveted talent.¡± As Dio performed a harmonious performance while supporting Roberto, the audience let out a small exclamation of admiration. The opponent is Lennon of the Bertio family. If he were a normal mercenary, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to stand in front of him, but the author wasn¡¯t like that. The audience, who realized that he was risking his life for his comrades, was unable to criticize Dio for entering the duel. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Dalimus, who noticed this atmosphere, also gained momentum. Dio snapped his fingers at Dalimus¡¯ action, tacitly granting forgiveness. At that signal, Evelyn, who had been waiting, came running in a huff. ¡°Okay, you guys go in now.¡± ¡°¡­I hope you don¡¯t do things like this in the future.¡± Dio whispered as he handed Roberto over to Evelyn, and Roberto grumbled. ¡°why? ¡°I¡¯m having fun.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to die. ¡°It¡¯s hard to pretend to be weak on purpose.¡± At Eveline¡¯s ridicule, Roberto spoke to her as if he were lamenting. As can be seen from their conversation, it was clear that Roberto¡¯s injury had already recovered. This was evident from the fact that the blood on the corner of Roberto¡¯s mouth had long since left a trace. ¡°okay. ¡°You had a lot of trouble.¡± Dio also suppressed his laughter and comforted Roberto. Lennon¡¯s skills are excellent, but that doesn¡¯t mean Dio¡¯s group can be defeated by him so easily. All of this was part of a plan implemented by Dio. ¡®I need to check.¡¯ Dio thought as he glanced at Lennon, who was glaring at him. If the goal was simply to fight Lennon and win, it didn¡¯t matter which member of the group stepped forward. If the group is armed with warehouse items, they will be able to easily defeat Lennon. However, Dio had to confirm one fact that was more important than victory. In order to do that, he needed to confront Lennon. ¡°Lennon. ¡°Aren¡¯t you sad that this is the end?¡± ¡°what?¡± Dio left Evelyn and Roberto behind as they left the stadium and spoke politely to Lennon. ¡°It looks like you haven¡¯t warmed up properly yet¡­how do you feel? ¡°This is the stage where I should have been on the stage originally.¡± Lennon was angry at Dio¡¯s words, but he tried to keep his composure, perhaps because he was aware of the crowd. Lennon¡¯s fist, which would have cut off Dio¡¯s head in one fell swoop if no one was watching, trembled gently. ¡°A duel with me. Would you like to proceed again?¡± Either way, Dio laughed at Lennon and said, ¡°I have already won the duel. Are you now asking me to overturn this sacred duel?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be. Lennon won the duel. ¡°I just thought Lennon would be curious about my skills.¡± After hearing Lennon¡¯s words, Dio looked around the audience and said, This wasn¡¯t just a comment to Lennon. Everyone who is watching this place will be curious about Dio¡¯s own skills. The situation was such that the crowd that Lennon had gathered became poisonous. Dio said a decisive word to the hesitant Lennon. ¡°Are you¡­afraid of losing?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 124 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 124Episode 124 : The sound of Lennon¡¯s teeth grinding was heard, as if the anger he had been holding in until now had reached its limit. However, Dio, who did not pay any attention to this, continued his provocation. ¡°Looking at it, it was a match between Lennon, who won without a single injury, and me, whose injury was not fully healed yet. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s that unfair, but what about you?¡± As Dio asked the crowd watching, their murmurs grew louder. ¡°I want to see the skills of the rumored mercenary¡­¡± ¡°But the match is already over, right?¡± ¡°No, it was originally the author who should have stepped up.¡± While some people frowned at Dio¡¯s actions, there were many who did not like his suggestions. However, among the many spectators, the knights and unmanned forces from outside seemed to want a showdown between Dio and Lennon. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In addition, the nobles who came from far away also seemed to think that the previous match between Lennon and Roberto had ended in a boring way. Eventually, their wish spread to everyone, and soon everyone¡¯s opinion sharply shifted towards wanting to see the two compete. ¡°Surely the great Master Lennon will avoid my proposal? ¡°What about you, matriarch?¡± ¡°I allow it.¡± Did you understand the public sentiment of the audience? Or did he realize Dio¡¯s plan and respond to it? Anyway, Dalimus, who made eye contact with Dio, gave permission without hesitation. With the matriarch¡¯s permission, Lennon lifted the sword that was hanging down and held it again. * * * ¡®okay. If you want to die like that, I¡¯ll do as you wish.¡¯ Lennon could no longer tolerate Dio¡¯s provocations. The reason I didn¡¯t immediately accept the duel he proposed wasn¡¯t because I was scared. The previous duel ended with his overwhelming victory. This was because in this situation, there was no need to respond to Dio¡¯s intention to take away the protagonist¡¯s position. Although his opponent said he had already won the game, Lennon knew better than anyone else that the real game started now. If this happens, there is only one way for Lennon. Like the mercenary who rushed in without even knowing the topic, the problem will be resolved if the author kneels at his feet. Once again, ¡®overwhelmingly.¡¯ ¡°Raise your sword.¡± ¡°Be kind too.¡± Lennon looked at his opponent who took out a weapon at his words. A practice iron sword with an incorrect edge. The iron sword made for sparring was heavy and a clunky weapon with poor center of gravity. Lennon, who thought this was a slight against him, made a harsh expression. ¡°You¡¯re going to deal with me with that?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it will be enough.¡± The audience seemed to have noticed the presence of an iron sword in Lennon¡¯s words and began to whisper about it. ¡°What is he holding? ¡°A club?¡± ¡°It looks like a training iron sword, but you¡¯re confident in your skills?¡± ¡°You arrogant. While discussing honor just now, he insists on using an iron sword. ¡°Is this your intention to crush the Duke¡¯s nose?¡± ¡°I¡¯m excited? ¡°Isn¡¯t that how confident you are?¡± Perhaps the most arrogant mercenary behavior. Whether it was praise or criticism didn¡¯t matter to Lennon. In the end, it was only a shame that the audience¡¯s attention was focused on the mercenary. Lennon did not say anything more despite Diamond¡¯s response. The more I talk to him, the more I feel like I¡¯m being drawn into it. The ongoing duel was no different from falling for the author¡¯s trick. We had to respond to the victory early on. Because the best way to subdue a mercenary who does not know the subject is to use great force. ¡®Let¡¯s see if we can still afford it even after clashing swords.¡¯ In some ways, Lennon was more confident than when he fought Spade earlier. Spade was a fierce mercenary who combined speed with a fist rather than a sword. However, his current opponent is a sword fighting match, which can be seen as Lennon¡¯s main sport. It was a stage where one could never lose and should not lose in a swordsmanship battle in the name of Bertio. ¡°Please come in first.¡± Even though I gave him time to get into position, the opponent still took his time. Lennon did not give him any more time to educate the arrogant mercenary who had no idea about chivalry. Now it was time to show it to everyone. What kind of power does the apex predator have? * * * Parbat! thud! Lennon¡¯s foot hit the ground. The momentum emanating from him contained Bertio¡¯s unique weight. Like a lion with its prey in front of it. Lennon¡¯s sword, showing his bravery, instantly narrowed the distance between him and his opponent. Kaga River! Dio effortlessly struck back his sword. It is an iron sword borrowed from the Knights¡¯ training ground, but it is a more than sufficient weapon to deal with Lennon. Although it lacks killing power, its durability itself is strong, making it suitable for dealing with Bertio¡¯s swordsmanship, which has tremendous crushing power. Chachaechaeng! Lennon¡¯s expression hardens, as he had clearly expected to overwhelm his opponent in front of Bertio Geomsik. ¡®Strange.¡¯ Although we only exchanged a few sums, Lennon could feel it. The opponent who struck back with his sword was not that fast or threatening. So it¡¯s even weirder. How could he repel all his attacks with such a puny weapon? Kagagaga River! Lennon increased the tempo out of urgency. Bertio Swordsmanship is a sword technique created based on overwhelming shredding techniques that shatter the opponent¡¯s defenses. It doesn¡¯t matter if he blocks it with an iron sword. Just press it with overwhelming force and that will be enough. ¡°Ha!¡± Lennon, with great enthusiasm, jumped up high and held his sword back. The aura filled with Lennon¡¯s sword shook with his power. Bertio¡¯s visionary swordsmanship. Ryan Singh. ¡®Try to stop this too!¡¯ Lennon¡¯s sword struck Dio¡¯s shoulder accurately. However, what Lennon¡¯s sword struck was only an afterimage left behind by Dio, so it was slammed into the hard ground. Quagwagwagwang! Lennon was embarrassed that he had missed his opponent¡¯s movements for a moment. fast. Even with that heavy iron sword, I couldn¡¯t chase it away. I was about to pull out the sword stuck in the ground with my teeth in dismay at that unbelievable fact. humming! Dio¡¯s new form, whose movements had been missed, appeared next to Lennon and swung his iron sword. Lennon barely drew his sword and blocked Dio¡¯s attack, but lost his balance and stumbled. ¡°Ugh!¡± A staggering Lennon had no time to counter Dio. Instead, Dio¡¯s kick continues towards Lennon, who was wasting time trying to regain his balance. Pop! Lennon, who blocked Dio¡¯s kick with his sword, lost his balance once again and took an ugly step back. ¡°Heo-eok, heo-eok.¡± Lennon, who almost lost his grip for a moment, exhaled harshly. Dio, who was looking at Lennon like that, slowly lowered his foot towards him without moving a single step from his spot. ¡°Does it look very difficult?¡± Unlike Lennon, Dio, who was not shaken in the slightest, grinned. To Dio, who experienced the true Vertio sword dance shown by Dalimus, Lennon¡¯s sword is no different from an underdeveloped lion cub. Since the destructive power cannot be ignored, it was difficult to block all attacks with an iron sword, but avoiding them was no problem for Dio. ¡°This¡­¡± Dio could feel Lennon¡¯s anger as he ground his teeth. Nevertheless, Dio had no intention of pushing Lennon any further than this. He was waiting. A young lion driven to a cliff has only one thing left to do. Of course, that was exactly what Dio was waiting for, and since it would be a self-killer that would strangle him, Dio laughed at Lennon even more in anger. * * * ¡®Surely I¡¯m weaker than that guy? ¡®I¡¯m going to lose the duel?¡¯ Lennon looked at the mercenary who was at his leisure and his arm that was holding the sword trembled. This trembling is not because his sword is as powerful as Bertio¡¯s swordsmanship. However, it wasn¡¯t that I felt afraid of him. ¡®A mere mercenary¡­is looking down on me?¡¯ The confidence that had built up and surrounded him as the eldest son of a swordsman from the royal family of the Eastern King is stripped away. I hate to admit it, but I have to admit it. That this guy is more talented than you. The anger at this unbelievable reality was so great that it could not be expressed in words. But Lennon still had a way left. ¡®I must never lose.¡¯ Lennon glanced sideways at the spectators who were watching all this fighting and slowly took a breath. ¡°As expected, he is Bertio¡¯s eldest son!¡± ¡°What a huge attack!¡± ¡°I think you barely managed to push that mercenary away?¡± If someone unfamiliar with the duel had seen it, they would have thought that they were equal or that Lennon was superior. In the end, the kick that the mercenary was allowed to do was blocked without difficulty. However, those with some skills can see it if they see it. This duel is now one-sided and Lennon is losing. Watching the mercenary¡¯s leisure, Lennon was able to feel something he had never experienced before. Envy and jealousy were not words that suited Lennon. It¡¯s a word only suitable for losers like Ates. but. Lennon finally knew what they felt. I, who was called a genius, lost to a mercenary with an iron sword? Where on earth did such a monster come from? I must be the star of this stage¡­ but there definitely shouldn¡¯t be anyone more talented than me! Lennon passed by the nobles who did not even know how to use a sword and looked at Dalimus and Gunther, who were at the head of the table. It was as if he knew this would happen. What does that mercenary say? More than your own flesh and blood. Lennon could not bear it any longer as he looked at the eyes of the next head of the family who would carry Bertio, showing that he had more expectations than himself. ¡®father. ¡®Did you really intend to embarrass me?¡¯ Lennon made his decision amid rising anger. I will show it to Dalimus. That you were wrong. I am not a young lion yet. It is an apex predator that reigns supreme over all. -You know it too. If you use this, you can reach greater heights. After a brief reminiscence, Lennon stroked the jewels elaborately placed on his teeth with his tongue. What those vulgar bastards gave me. I wasn¡¯t going to write about this one¡­ but snap! It¡¯s not the sound of teeth grinding. It was the sound of a small jewel hidden in one¡¯s teeth breaking. Although he tried to avoid the current situation as much as possible, Lennon could not give up. If we collapse here and now, the road to Gaju will become even more difficult and long. ¡®There is no going back now.¡¯ The mind that was engulfed in anger becomes clear. The agitated feelings disappeared and the rough breathing also subsided. Lennon looked at his opponent, feeling the energy of something instantly spreading through his body. ¡®You will die here.¡¯ * * * ¡°Lennon¡¯s momentum has changed. It¡¯s as if he has made up his mind¡­¡± Delcid, who was watching the duel between Dio and Lennon, opened his mouth to Gunther next to him. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Delcid turned his attention back to the stadium, seeing Gunther not answering his question. Gunther and Dalimus were close friends, but their sons, Delcid and Lennon, were not so close. We only met a few times during our nose-draining days, and because the types of people we got along with were different, there was virtually no contact between the two. This invitation was also given by Lennon as a formality, and Delcid had no intention of responding. However, I was able to be here at the recommendation of my father, Gunther, who usually did not say much. A sudden duel between Lennon and a mercenary who was active in Ox. Lennon won the previous duel with ease, and Delcid saw with his own eyes that he was that talented. ¡®If I had competed with Lennon, it would have been a good match.¡¯ Delcid was quite impressed by Lennon¡¯s skills, which he had heard through rumors. It was clear that among the continent¡¯s high-flying aristocrats, there were only a few who could compete with Lennon. ¡®Of course I will win¡­.¡¯ Delcid¡¯s evaluation of Lennon was exactly this. However, it is impossible to guess the skill of the mercenary that Bertio¡¯s genius, who possesses such great talent, is dealing with. ¡®Diamond. Why have I never heard of this guy? As rumored, he is an incredibly talented person.¡¯ It seemed like the rumor about using sword energy wasn¡¯t completely false. Delceed¡¯s hands, clenched into fists, were filled with sweat as he got to see firsthand the mercenary¡¯s ability to effortlessly block Lennon¡¯s sword. It was Delcid who had been taught directly by Gunther. Lennon is great too, but he¡¯s nothing compared to Diamond. Even if you face him, you cannot be sure whether you will be able to win. Lennon also felt this. Delcid thought that Lennon had reached an even higher level due to Lennon¡¯s determination to recognize that his opponent¡¯s skills were not average. The momentum he exudes feels like more power than he has shown so far. In some ways, even more than myself. ¡°This is indeed the lineage of Bertio, who has protected the East for hundreds of years. Growing even in desperate situations¡­¡± ¡° ¡­That¡¯s not it.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Delcid turned his head to Gunther, who denied what he said, and gave him a puzzled look. ¡°I didn¡¯t jump over the wall on my own.¡± ¡°What is that?¡± Instead of explaining in detail to Delcid, Gunther raised his head and headed somewhere. Gunther¡¯s gaze turned upward, and there he was, Dalimus, who had the same serious expression on his face as Gunther. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 125 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 125Episode 125, Over the Fantasy, the story about the Demon King cannot be left out. However, surprisingly, for players who enjoy the order version, the level of difficulty of the devil¡¯s game was not that severe¡­ This is because very few users reached the final scenario in which the devil appeared. Let alone the Demon King himself, the players are eliminated from the Demon King¡¯s executives and subordinates. However, regardless of the player¡¯s perception, the scenario played by Dio involves an inevitable battle with the devil and his minions. In other words, the story of the Order version scenario centers around the resurrection of the Demon King. Demon King and Demon Man. A demon king who was said to have been sealed by the gods a thousand years ago. And among the evil forces that dream of the devil¡¯s resurrection, there are beings called devils. As time passes and the Demon King¡¯s seal weakens, the demonic energy emitted from him affects the entire continent. The fertile lands become barren one by one, and the creatures living in the land polluted with demonic energy are also eroded by darkness one by one. Animals and plants contaminated in this way become demons and humans become demons. Players leveled up by defeating such demons, but they could never prevent the seal. This is because the ¡®final chapter¡¯ of the Order is when the Demon King¡¯s seal is released. And the direction that the Order Board gives to the player is to completely destroy the Demon King in the final chapter. Demons that are recognized as monsters by players exist in various forms. Vampire, witch, werewolf¡­. These were all humans originally, and can be seen as newly created monsters due to demonization. Of course, now Dio has learned that among these are the cursed sun religions. So when Dio encounters other demons, he first needs to find out whether they are followers of the demon king or believers of the cursed sun. But I can assure you that Lennon is by no means a believer in the sun. Because Dio knew that he was a person who was put on the path of Majin by Acrich ¡®Death Kruger¡¯, one of the Pentacles. Descruger. There is no possibility that he is a seven star like Calliope or Crassus. If it were the Protestant Church of the Sun, it would not massacre innocent human beings and sacrifice them to the devil in the near future. Deathrugger is the host of ¡®Majinization¡¯, which turns people into ¡®Majin¡¯ by tainting them with evil in return for giving them strength. The evil humans who have been turned into demons by him are controlled by their minds and become monsters that do not hesitate to do things that ordinary humans cannot do. Just like Lennon in front of Dio right now. * * * Hwaaaah! Chachaechaeng! Dio fought back Lennon¡¯s fierce sword attack with difficulty. The momentum is completely different from the first time. Despite the fierce attacks, Lennon did not lose his breath even once. ¡°Is something a little strange?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to die like that?¡± Did the audience also feel the ferocity that Lennon exuded? When Lennon¡¯s sword roughly grazed the spot where Dio had bowed his head, people were heartbroken at the dizzying sight. ¡°Huh!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that dangerous?¡± Despite the crowd¡¯s whispers, Lennon¡¯s attack showed no signs of stopping. His attacks became more intense and dangerous. ¡®I totally enjoyed it.¡¯ Dio deflected Lennon¡¯s stab and looked into the guy¡¯s red eyes. The characteristic of demonization is that the broken magic stone absorbs the dark hearts inherent in the host and then amplifies them. Just like the Lennon in front of you. An attack aimed solely at killing. Dio then realized that Lennon was using the last move. This was one of the reasons why Dio had to deal with Lennon in person. The solution to this problem is something that only D.O. can do. Exactly one year since Lennon ascended to the position of head of the family. In just one year, the Bertio ducal family, which had a long history, fell. This was caused by a combination of various negative factors, and there are three major ones. The first is the sudden death of Dalimus, the previous head of the family. The second is the chamberlain who coveted Bertio¡¯s property. And the third and final one was the change of Lennon, who took over. Before becoming the head of the family, Lennon was by no means incompetent. He likes alcohol and women, ignores those below him and only respects his own authority, but that doesn¡¯t mean he¡¯s unsuited to the position of monarch. Rather, it fits the general image of nobles. Lennon is a practical and politically knowledgeable person. Because he inherited the blood of a lion, he had excellent swordsmanship and was proud of his family. Although they may covet what belongs to others, they never hand over what is theirs to others. That was Lennon, and in front of Lennon, a chamberlain who embezzled the family¡¯s wealth would never be safe. However, Lennon pretended not to notice the chamberlain¡¯s profiteering. This was evidence that there had been a change in Lennon¡¯s psychological factors, and the reason was none other than being dominated by demonization. ¡®As expected, we contacted each other even before he became the head of the family.¡¯ Players playing the Eastern scenario were suspicious of Lennon¡¯s whereabouts and conducted an investigation into him. As a result, Lennon was able to understand that he had been eroded by Descruger and that he had neglected the downfall of his family. ¡®Considering the timing, this would have been possible if it had been eroded by demonization before the rise of the family head. ¡®Because Lennon¡¯s achievements as the head of the family are nothing.¡¯ Through the scenario of the order board that he knew, Dio was able to infer to some extent the point in time when Lennon began to be influenced by mine painting. That point would be before Ates ran away from home. The way for Lennon to solidify his position as the next head of the family is through talent, including force. Mine conversion does not proceed immediately. It slowly seeps into others without them noticing, making them think that it is entirely their own power. Because of this, Dalimus may not have noticed it until now. ¡®And now it looks like he¡¯s taken it too far.¡¯ There are also physical ways to accelerate demonization through drug administration or magic rituals. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t be able to generate explosive power like this now. It seemed like they had already made a deal with Descruger¡¯s emissary to buy items that would accelerate demonization. ¡®Then¡­¡¯ The board was already prepared. Now all Dio has to do is reveal to everyone the sinister power lurking within Lennon¡¯s body. * * * Quagwagwagwang! Lennon¡¯s lowered sword made a dent in the floor. Even with Bertio¡¯s swordsmanship, this level of destructive power would have been strange, but the audience mistakenly thought it was just Lennon showing off his skills. ¡°No matter how you look at it, isn¡¯t it dangerous?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure the eldest son has thoughts too. ¡°That mercenary seems to be responding well, so isn¡¯t he putting forth his best effort?¡± ¡°indeed! ¡°Is this huge?¡± The more exciting game made the audience sweat. This was possible because they did not know that this was a matter of life and death. Dio, who has so far been able to block Lennon¡¯s attacks without difficulty, also begins to retreat more and more as time passes. From the perspective of others, I thought it was only a matter of time before D.O. was put on the defensive. Of course, I wasn¡¯t a party. Quang! Lennon¡¯s sword once again struck the floor where Dio was standing. The floor completely collapsed and debris flew in all directions, heading towards Dio, who had dodged Lennon¡¯s attack. ¡°die!¡± The gap created by Dio as he removes the debris. Lennon, who could not miss the opportunity, swung his sword with the intention of cutting the opponent in two. Lennon sensed victory when he saw Dio quickly raise his iron sword to block his attack. There was no way he could block his attack with that puny iron sword. Because the opponent also knows this, isn¡¯t he in a hurry to evade his attack instead of blocking it? But Lennon saw. Just by looking at his iron sword, a holy light is emanating from it. ¡°What?¡± To others, it is just a brilliant and sacred light. But not for Lennon. The remnants of the devil within Lennon¡¯s body abhorred that light, and Lennon also experienced unpleasant emotions that twisted his entire body. ¡®This is dangerous!¡¯ Lennon sensed danger, but it was already too late. My own sword was swung by that guy. I was swallowed up by that dazzling light. Clang! * * * ¡°Is this okay?¡± Dio smiled as he looked at the iron sword imbued with the attribute of [Graceful All-Purpose Jade]. The power of magic used by Lennon. The fact that light and darkness are polar opposites is a fact that Dio, a member of the Order Board, takes for granted. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio gave the iron sword divine power using the special ability of the all-powerful jade. Not with Luna¡¯s light, but with the power of the sun. ¡°I think I won the game.¡± Dio grinned as he looked at Lennon¡¯s broken sword. Lennon seemed to be having a hard time accepting this situation as it was, making a dumb expression as if his soul had disappeared and then shouted. ¡°Yes you bastard! ¡°Where are you cheating?¡± However, the audience remained silent to his cries. Some people thought it was sword energy, some felt it was divine power, and some people figured out that it was not divine power, but an alien power of a type they had never seen before. While everyone was dazed for a while, trying to organize their thoughts, Lennon, embarrassed by their silence, pointed his finger at Dio. ¡°Look everyone! ¡°The power this guy uses is not sword energy!¡± Lennon tried to make up for his defeat somehow. The divine power used by Dio. However, it was different from the Holy Power of the Luna Church. Lennon dug into it and continued to open his mouth to turn the situation in his favor. ¡°That alien power that imitates divine power! The author is clearly a heretic! What are the soldiers doing? Arrest that man!¡± When Lennon shouted, the crowd finally came to their senses and began to murmur, and Dalimus, who was watching, also got up from his seat. bang! As Dio slammed the iron sword he was holding into the ground, the noisy hall fell silent for a moment. Dalimus, who was watching this, also raised his hand and stopped the guards who were confused as to whether they should listen to Lennon¡¯s orders. Everyone in the audience paid attention to Dio. Dio, who caught people¡¯s attention at a glance, smiled and took out something from his pocket. ¡°what? ¡°What about that dirty cloth?¡± ¡°What is that mercenary holding?¡± ¡°How is this going?¡± ¡°Heresy?¡± Dio, leaving behind the noisy crowd again, this time took out a mysterious jewel in the shape of a water drop. He then placed the jewel on the piece of cloth he had taken out earlier, and the two objects immediately began to interact. Wooooung ¨C Black energy escaping from the fabric. It was definitely demonic energy. At this, the people¡¯s murmur grew louder. Those who do not know Magi are inauspicious, and those who know are Magi. Among them, Lennon urgently shouted to the head of the family. ¡°We have to stop him!¡± Despite Lennon¡¯s cries as he sensed what was going to happen, Dio strengthened the hand holding the jewel. Push! Tears of moonlight that radiated a blue-silver color. It was an instant before the beautiful jewel was shattered into pieces by Dio¡¯s hands. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 126 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 126Episode 126 Hwaaaaaaa! The divine power spreading along with a blindingly intense light covered the entire wide stadium. Everyone who was watching this covered their eyes, but Dio was the only one who looked at the system that appeared before his eyes. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Moonlight Tears] has been activated. Absorbed Attribute: [Dark]-Luave Search for the same attribute as the absorbed attribute. [Search completed] Number of objects identified in the search: 1 The searched magic energy is hidden in the tears of moonlight. Hidden magic energy is revealed through special effects. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The dirty cloth that Dio used for the tears of moonlight was none other than the hem of the clothes Luave was wearing. The residual magic energy on Luave¡¯s clothes was analyzed, and all things with the same energy were searched for using the tears of moonlight that Dio was currently using. It is not something that is discovered and ended systematically. In the first place, the purpose of moonlight tears is to forcibly bring out its properties and make them visible to the naked eye. As if to prove this, the magic hidden in Lennon¡¯s body began to slowly reveal itself to the world. ¡°What about that?¡± ¡°What comes out of my eldest son¡¯s body. ¡°It¡¯s Ma Magi, right?¡± ¡°Unbelievable!¡± For a moment, people¡¯s expressions were filled with astonishment. Dio grinned at his plan going without a hitch. ¡®Lennon and Descruger. They can be seen as the key characters of Hidden Quest.¡¯ Dio thought of the hidden quest he was working on. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Quest: Protect the honor of the famous swordsman] A dark shadow is falling over the historic Duke of Bertio. Use the Tears of Moonlight to uncover the truth and protect your honor. Reward: Significantly increases the friendliness of those who value honor. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The scenario in the eastern region that is linked to the resurrection of the Demon King refers to the incident where Lennon becomes the head of the family and causes Bertio to fall. And these tears of moonlight are the item that can reveal Lennon¡¯s magic to the world. In order to properly solve the hidden quest, the player must travel around the entire eastern region to uncover the dark secret. But Dio doesn¡¯t have to. Because Dio has already experienced the end of this hidden quest. ¡®Lennon, who served Descruger as his master, followed his orders.¡¯ Dio thought of the future that would take place one year from now. Lennon, who was corrupted by Descruger, becomes his subordinate and deliberately brings about the destruction of his family. Because the biggest sword and shield protecting the East was Bertio himself. Descruger¡¯s primary goal is to quickly bring this down. Afterwards, the secondary purpose was to accelerate the cultivation of demons throughout the eastern region by taking advantage of the collapse of the wall protecting the eastern region. In the original scenario, the player would intervene when Lennon was destroying the East and Deathrugger was just starting to train the demons. Although the average player would kill Lennon to complete the story quest. The hidden quest Dio received has a different ending. I¡¯m not killing Lennon. With the tears of moonlight, Lennon¡¯s inner demonic energy runs rampant, revealing Lennon¡¯s true identity and making Dongbu stand up again. As a result, all NPCs on the continent will praise the player who completed this hidden quest. ¡®If it weren¡¯t for the tears of moonlight. ¡®You could have hidden it until the end.¡¯ Lennon¡¯s successor is Descruger. Even Dalimus and Gunther can sense something strange about Lennon, but that¡¯s it. Unless they are stronger than Deathrugger, it is impossible to recognize the demonization that is controlling a person¡¯s mind. If Lennon is just prevaricating now, there will be no way to question him since there is no solid physical evidence. Knowing this, Lennon did this. However, the tears of moonlight are a sacred relic left behind by Luna. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Tears of Moonlight] Grade: Myth Category: Quest Item Description: If you bring an item with a specific attribute, you can find items with the same attribute as that item. . ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The purpose of Moonlight Tears is, as explained in the system, as an object specialized for exploration. Dio designed a stage to use it. Luckily, Luav was defeated first and was a subordinate of Descruger. That¡¯s where I saw the road. Although it is only a hem of clothes, it is an item imbued with the energy of an 8th circle warlock. One thing to note is that Evelyn and Roberto may be included in the ¡®dark¡¯ attribute that Moonlight Tears explores. To prepare for this, they were sent out of the stadium early. As a result, they succeeded in identifying only Lennon as the target and exposed his hidden demonic energy. Now there is only one thing left to do. Stop Lennon, the leader, and thwart Descruger¡¯s plan. ¡®We¡¯ve barely made it this far.¡¯ Dio slowly lifted the iron sword filled with divine power. * * * ¡°Off!¡± Lennon, who was under the influence of divine power, began to struggle in pain. Tdu-duk-ddu- duk- Magi exudes its presence in front of the opposing divine power. If I hadn¡¯t used the tears of moonlight to search for and draw out demonic energy, I wouldn¡¯t have responded to the divine power like I do now. This is because Lennon¡¯s body protected the demonic energy. But now the human body is no longer useful. As if to show that, the stimulated demon energy gradually began to fluctuate. ¡°Keuuuuck!¡± ¡°Huh! What is that?¡± ¡°Aaaah!¡± When people saw Lennon¡¯s body gradually swelling, they all shouted in surprise. The demonization carried out by Deathrugger is not so weak that it can be purified simply by encountering divine power. In order to resist the divine power, the Magi attempts to completely dominate Lennon¡¯s body as its host. ¡°Now wait a minute! ¡°This is not what I meant!¡± Lennon, who was feeling the abnormality with his whole body, shouted to the people. ¡°It¡¯s the author¡¯s trick! ¡°The author made me¡­!¡± suddenly! Despite Lennon¡¯s efforts to somehow blame Dio, the horns growing on his head scared people. ¡°It¡¯s a demon!¡± ¡°Run away too!¡± Demonification transcendently transforms the human body. Also, whenever they are discovered, they cause enormous damage to the surrounding area. Due to these facts, people realized that Lennon was a demon just because he had horns on his head, and they began to run away in fear. Accordingly, the guards guarding the area stepped forward with their weapons, and Dio opened his mouth to Dalimus, who was watching. ¡°What should I do?¡± ¡°¡­Arrest him.¡± As soon as Dalimus¡¯ command was given, all the knights and guards guarding the stadium took up arms. Lennon must have thought he was wrong, so he quickly looked around. Eventually, as if he had figured out the escape route, he started running in the opposite direction of the oncoming knights. ¡°Run away!¡± ¡°Suppress it!¡± Lennon fled to the stands, and the knights who could not have been watching and several warriors among the crowd also raised their weapons and pointed them at Lennon. ¡°Everyone get out of there! ¡°You know who I am!¡± Lennon, who was beside himself due to the demonization, shouted at the knights who blocked him. While the drivers were hesitating to hear the words of Lennon, Bertio¡¯s eldest son, a person stood in front of them and blocked Lennon. ¡°Your brother is just like me.¡± ¡°you you!¡± Lennon raised his eyes as he saw Artes blocking his path. ¡°Don¡¯t run away, accept it with honor. ¡°I won¡¯t run away either.¡± ¡°You bastard¡­! ¡°Kaaaaaa!!¡± Have the strings of reason been lost in Ates¡¯ words? S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lennon¡¯s body begins to shake violently. Tdu-duk-duk -kwaang! As if it had completely taken over Lennon¡¯s body, the demonic energy began to run wild, spewing out in all directions. ¡°Ugh!¡± ¡°Everyone, come to your senses!¡± The knights quickly covered their faces in the thick darkness that completely obscured Lennon¡¯s appearance. Terrible demonic energy rising in clouds. Artes, who was at the front, came to his senses and aimed his sword at Magi, who was covering Lennon. ¡°Now it¡¯s all over! If you surrender now, I will be the head of the family¡­¡± Flash! Before Ates could finish his words, a red glow flashed within the thick accumulation of magical energy. Return to school! Lennon¡¯s new model popped out before Artes could react. Lennon¡¯s appearance changed so much that he could no longer be considered human. A pair of horns that protrude like goat horns. And the skin color is completely purple. Lennon, who had completely finished the demonization, grabbed Ates¡¯ face and slammed it to the floor. Quaaaang! ¡°Cough!¡± ¡°What are you doing!?¡± Lennon¡¯s anger is directed towards Artes, who is coughing up blood. ¡°Okay¡­just kill them all. entire!¡± It¡¯s been a long time since I lost any normal thinking circuits. Lennon, who was completely under the power of demon energy, shouted intoxicated with overflowing power. ¡°Master Ates!¡± ¡°Suppress the demon right now!¡± Bertio¡¯s elite knights hurriedly swung their swords at Lennon, but it was not enough to stop the demonized Lennon. Kaga River! Lennon seemed to have lost his pride as a swordsman and no longer used his sword. A solid body that evolved into demon fire. In response, he cut the swords of the Bertio knights in two with only the sharp claws that sprouted from his fingers. ¡°How dare you guys stop me? I am Lennon Bertio! ¡°I am the Lennon of the East!¡± Quang! As soon as Lennon hit the ground, the ground split open and the ranks of the charging knights collapsed in an instant. ¡°you!¡± Lennon, who was floating on the cracked earth, raised his hand as if he had discovered something. Standing in the direction he pointed was Dio, the person who caused this whole situation. ¡°Because of you¡­you ruined it! ¡°Everything I have achieved!¡± Lennon¡¯s anger, which had become shallow due to his great power, began to flare up again. Nothing caught Lennon¡¯s eyes anymore. Terrified nobles. Knights trying to stop him. ¡®What I wanted was¡­¡¯ Lennon gritted his teeth as he saw the hostile gazes being directed at him. Being born into a world of fear and terror was welcome, but their hostility was not what Lennon wanted. Lennon¡¯s wish would certainly come true if he could become the head of Bertio¡¯s family. Unless it¡¯s that damn mercenary. ¡°I will definitely kill you!¡± All of Lennon¡¯s attention was focused on Dio, and as if it were not just words, Lennon immediately kicked the ground. bang! Lennon¡¯s new model headed towards Dio at an astonishing speed, and Dio calmly shook his hands off. Woowooung ¨C A turquoise sword that appeared in Dio¡¯s hand. It was a weapon made from the gracious, all-purpose jade. Soon, the color of the sword changed to the color of warm sunlight, as if its properties had changed. Faaah! Even though he saw Lennon rushing through the air, Dio stayed in his place without retreating an inch. The opponent is rapidly becoming a demon and cannot even properly handle its power. Although his strength may have increased dramatically, he is not strong enough to worry about Dio. Dio raised his sword exactly at the speed of the approaching Lennon. Suddenly! Craddangtang! Lennon¡¯s shoulder was cut off in an instant. Lennon lost his balance and fell to the floor. ¡°Ugh!¡± Although he must have been in pain, Lennon jumped up from his seat. Then he opened his arms and lunged straight at Dio. Pabababak! Lennon tried to hold on to Dio, but his arms only pierced the air. Dio simply swung his sword lightly, toying with Lennon, who lost his temper and attacked recklessly. Cham-aak- boom! Dio sliced Lennon¡¯s thigh, bringing him to his knees. ¡°Ugh!¡± Lennon, covered in blood from numerous wounds, tried to get up again, but Dio¡¯s sword was already aimed close to his neck. ¡°Is this the amount of power you gained after losing even the pride of your sword? ¡°I was stronger when I held the sword.¡± Lennon¡¯s actions stopped when he heard Dio¡¯s dry voice. Did Lennon, who had completely become a demon, properly understand Dio¡¯s words? no. Lennon¡¯s actions stopped, but his body did not. Lennon¡¯s veins squirm all over. This means that changes are starting to occur in his body once again. One characteristic that demons have in common. [Magic explosion]. This is the final technique that explodes all the demon energy contained in the body. ¡°Kkkkkk¡­did you say that?¡± Lennon raised his head and looked at Dio and said. ¡°You said I would definitely kill you.¡± Lennon¡¯s anger toward Dio was truly enormous. The will to kill that guy even if it means risking his own life. And Margie had the power to grant Lennon¡¯s wish. Did he sense danger from Lennon¡¯s warning? Dio slowly lowered his sword and slowly stepped back. But it was already too late. Lennon¡¯s Magi will annihilate Dio, who is already recognized as his biggest enemy, by any means possible. Gurgling, the moment when Lennon¡¯s body, which had been shaking, swelled even more. Kang! Kang! A white pillar of light appeared in front of Lennon. ¡°What?¡± Lennon instinctively took a step back due to the powerful divine power emanating from the pillar of light. However, a pillar of light also appeared behind Lennon. At some point, a pillar of light came and surrounded Lennon. ¡°What about this?¡± ¡°I.¡± Lennon, who could not understand what was going on, looked at Dio who was talking to him. Dio spoke slowly with a wry smile on his face. ¡°How many demons do you think you¡¯ve caught?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 127 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 127Episode 127 It is no exaggeration to say that the power of the Luna Church, comparable to that of the Empire, is spread across the entire continent. However, there were areas that Luna¡¯s eyes could not reach more than other places, and those were the northern end and the Bertio lordship in the eastern region. So the Luna Church dispatched an informant to find out about the recent troubles in Oaks. Starting from what happened in Oaks, to the fact that Inspector Telzia, who can be considered to be under the direct control of the saint, is being detained by the Bertio family. The Luna Church quickly gathered information and soon discovered that a duel was taking place within the Bertio family. In response to a widespread rumor that Bertio¡¯s second son, Ates, was using an Ox mercenary as a proxy knight, Luna sent an informant to find out the truth. So, among the spectators who flocked to this special event, there was an informant sent by the Luna Church. He is currently dispatched after going through this process. I watched the duel from beginning to end with my own eyes and couldn¡¯t keep my mouth shut. ¡®Nonsense!¡¯ The informant was confused as to how to accept the current situation due to the series of surprises. At first, I wasn¡¯t particularly impressed when I saw Bertio¡¯s eldest son easily defeating a mercenary who was active in Ox. However, the sudden appearance of a mercenary who entered the duel that had ended completely changed the atmosphere. As rumored, the mercenary called Diamond showed off his incredible skills and cornered Lennon. However, something that shocked the informant happened after that. ¡®That must be¡­!¡¯ A jewel taken out from Diamond¡¯s bosom. The informant could tell at a glance that the brilliantly shining blue-silver gem was an unusual item. Blue silver is the color that symbolizes the moon. The informant¡¯s first thought was, ¡°No way.¡± If that¡¯s what you think it is, it¡¯s even more incomprehensible. just as expected. When the diamond broke the jewel, the informant felt the blinding light emitted. That object is Luna¡¯s sacred relic. ¡®oh my god.¡¯ The informant looked at Diamond with his eyes wide open, afraid to miss even a single thing that was happening right before his eyes. DIA used the holy relic to bring out Lennon¡¯s evil energy that no one knew about. This once again confirmed that Luna¡¯s holy relic was real. Afterwards, when the informant saw that DIA easily subdued the rampaging Lennon, the informant hurriedly tried to get up from his seat. Because I had to quickly inform the saint of this amazing fact. But another surprising thing that stopped the informant began to happen again. A pillar of light appeared around Lennon, who was about to make his last struggle. However, a pillar of light suddenly appeared. The pillar instantly imprisoned Lennon, who was fully transformed into a demon, and began to purify his evil nature. ¡®That¡¯s not Luna¡¯s divine power!¡¯ The informant had heard that there was a force among heretics that imitated Luna¡¯s divine power. Heretics who call themselves ¡®Cult of the Sun.¡¯ The person who had just created the pillar of light was not Diamond. A woman can be seen appearing next to Diamond. As the informant looked like a devil, she waved her hand and another pillar of light appeared, completely surrounding Lennon. The woman¡¯s power put Lennon, who was up to something, to sleep at once, but the evil demon¡¯s power seemed unable to completely purify it. Lennon struggled to escape from the pillar of light that trapped him like a cage and threatened the knights who tried to stop him. The knights¡¯ skills are not enough to deal with the demonized Lennon. Ah, the matriarch is about to step forward. Dalimus, the head of Vertio, came forward and tried to pull out the sword from his belt. The informant was observing the scene without even blinking, as he was about to miss the scene even a little. Diamond pushes the knights back and takes a stance. oh my god. That man is just like the woman. The informant realized. All mercenaries who were active in Ox. They are all heretics called the Sun God Church. * * * ¡°What on earth happened?¡± ¡°Did your eldest son confide in a warlock?¡± The nobles who watched Lennon being subdued were shocked. Before their eyes, Lennon, who had returned to his human form before becoming a demon, was lying unconscious. Black smoke flowed from Lennon¡¯s severed right arm, as if the demonic energy contained in his body was being released. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Dio looked around the crowd and brushed off the sword that had Lennon¡¯s blood on it. Cutting off Lennon¡¯s arm was inevitable. Although Sepia¡¯s skill was able to prevent the explosion of magical energy, it was impossible to completely purify Deathcruger¡¯s power. So Dio cut Lennon¡¯s body to expel the demonic energy hidden in his body. As a result, it was possible to purify the demonic energy that came into contact with the power of the sun. ¡°Was it last year when your eldest son achieved explosive growth?¡± ¡°I was surprised when you said you wouldn¡¯t participate in the swordsmanship competition hosted by the empire¡­ but I understand.¡± ¡°The position of the next head of the family must have been completely overlooked.¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, you can just be satisfied with that talent¡­ It seems like your greed is too much.¡± ¡°The Bertio family is also over.¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t there still a second son left?¡± Among the nobles who were shocked by the fact that Lennon had accepted the power of darkness, voices were heard from those who had come to their senses. In particular, samurai nobles who were only interested in their skills as knights, regardless of victory or defeat. They all pointed fingers at Lennon and did not hesitate to criticize him. Even though Bertio¡¯s family head is nearby. That¡¯s because Lennon¡¯s actions not only tarnished Bertio¡¯s name, but also betrayed the honor that military people value. While most people criticized Lennon and Bertio, there were some who watched quietly. Unlike Delcid, who was confused, Gunter had a serious expression on his face, as if he was contemplating something. The Imperial Sword Master was silently thinking about the power used by Dio. * * * ¡°Duke Bertio! ¡°I need an explanation for this!¡± ¡°What kind of disgrace is this?¡± ¡°How can I trust you and live in the East?¡± The cries of nobles fiercely protesting against Dalimus resound. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Half of the nobles gathered here were eastern nobles under the control of the Duke of Bertio, and they felt greatly betrayed by Dalimus. Even the nobles who were quiet at first out of fear of Dalimus opened their mouths one by one. Still, it¡¯s a duke. Although there was fear of repercussions, the central count and others of similar power soon took the initiative to say one or two words, which had a ripple effect. This was possible because demonetization was an issue that, if done wrong, could lead to the entire family being accused of heresy. ¡°Don¡¯t think you can get over this easily!¡± ¡°The Empire will not sit still.¡± ¡°We will all be responsible if we become involved with your son and are accused of heresy¡­¡± The nobles could not calm down at all. In response, Dalimus took a step forward, released his energy, and opened his mouth heavily. ¡°Calm down.¡± The weight of the energy calmed the nobles¡¯ uproar at once. In the meantime, Dalimus spoke slowly. ¡°I understand what you mean. ¡°But I¡¯m not the one to explain this.¡± Dalimus slowly moved his head and the nobles followed him, focusing their attention on the figure of one person. Diamond. The mercenary who defeated Luave in Ox. Only then did the nobles begin to have new questions. How did he become aware of Lennon¡¯s evil? The deep darkness that even my father was deceived by. Everything is full of questions. As Dalimus said, this incident had to be heard from the author¡¯s mouth. * * * Dio, who received the attention of all the nobles, including Dalimus, took a deep breath. Nobles waiting for their mouths to drop. This situation was like the final stage for his plan. ¡®I¡¯m ready. It¡¯s actually dangerous to hide it any longer.¡¯ Dio closed his eyes and recalled the events that had happened so far. An unfamiliar world that suddenly fell into you. At first, I was just struggling to survive. However, in Solari¡¯s conversation, she said that someone called her here. After hearing that he had to fight against the darkness threatening the continent in order to reach the truth, Dio only had one goal in mind. The annihilation of the Demon King and Luna. This is by no means an easy task. The influence of the Luna Church was so widespread in the world that Dio had to hide his identity to avoid their eyes. But this alone can never complete one¡¯s mission. If you have to deal with two divine beings, you will never be able to do it alone. Even though they have powerful helpers called the Seven Stars, they are ultimately a small force. Dio needed to create a force to oppose the Demon King and Luna, and to do so, he needed to use them. It may be impossible for a country with strong religious control, but at least it can receive help from other forces. Among them, the most influential and powerful force is the Freudian Empire, which rules the central continent. And the Duke of Bertio, who was in charge of one axis of the empire, was nothing short of Dio¡¯s first step. ¡®It would have been better to start with the central power rather than the East¡­¡¯ After being trapped in this world, everything went wrong from the start. Because of that, I had no choice but to slowly turn around. Moreover, now we have confirmed that the relationship between Calliope and Bertio is quite close. The most suitable place for Dio to grow his power is Duke Bertio. However, Bertio is currently facing a crisis. The fact that Lennon obtained the power of Mine is a major event that will shake even Bertio, who has protected the East for a long time. So Dio had to divert the attention of those nobles. It is not the eldest son of Bertio, who is possessed by the power of the Demon, but the Demon King and Luna, who can be seen as the culprits of all this. Trap, Dio passed Dalimus and walked closer to all the nobles who were paying attention to him. Then he opened his mouth. ¡°I am God¡¯s Great Warrior.¡± The audience is still silent despite his first words. The crowd is agitated at the mention of Daejeon Temple. What is he talking about now? Do you want to say that you are a messenger of God? Does that god refer to Luna? With the voices of countless people expressing doubts in the background, Dio headed to the center where he could attract the attention of everyone gathered here. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not Luna¡¯s Great Warrior.¡± When a god other than Luna was mentioned, the crowd fell into confusion. Because it was no different from confessing to heresy. At that time, Sepia radiated enormous divine power. A wide area heal that was used in the battle with Luave. People were healed, felt calm in their hearts, and felt that this divine power was ¡®real divine power.¡¯ After waiting for it to calm down for a moment, Dio spoke. ¡°The name of the god I serve is Solari. ¡°I am the Great Warrior of the Sun.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 128 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 128Episode 128 : Dio reveals his identity. And Sephia, who was guarding next to him, also dispelled the perception-impairing magic. It was as if he was putting his words of giving up hiding and revealing himself to the world into action. ¡®The key was chosen. I also have to choose.¡¯ Dalimus looked at the back of Dio, who was attracting all the attention of the audience, and recalled a conversation he had had with him separately. * * * When Dalimus gave four days for the duel. Dio talked to Dalimus, who gave him time in the name of training, about the things he had been contemplating. The story was about Lennon, who may have touched the power of the Mine. ¡°Lennon will bring down Bertio.¡± ¡°¡­What does that mean?¡± Dalimus expressed his displeasure toward Dio, who had requested a private meeting if there was something important to talk about. No matter how much of a conflict Dio had with Lennon, his gossip that he would bring about the downfall of the family was unlikely to be received favorably. ¡°Are you saying that Artes is better suited to be the next head of the family? ¡°Even if Lennon is arrogant, his talent is¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not about my eldest son¡¯s talent.¡± Dalimus glared at Dio, who had interrupted him. The ¡®key¡¯ that ¡®mother¡¯ looks after. However, Dalimus could not just trust his mother¡¯s words and trust the key. Moreover, since Dio¡¯s skills had not yet been proven, Dalimus looked cautious before he spoke his next words. ¡°Now Lennon is dabbling in darkness.¡± Dalimus¡¯ expression became even more serious after hearing Dio¡¯s explosive remarks. Darkness? I can¡¯t say that the group Lennon hangs around with are good, but that doesn¡¯t mean they¡¯re stupid people who believe in darkness. ¡°Tell me in detail.¡± Dalimus hurriedly urged Dio, as he needed to know in detail why he was saying this. ¡°In the not-too-distant future, Lennon, who has been corrupted by demonic energy, will use some kind of trick to kill you and take over the family.¡± ¡°¡­I¡¯m likely to be the next head of the family, but you¡¯re going to kill me? ¡°Why?¡± S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°That¡¯s because if we are to sacrifice the eastern part to the Demon King, the head of the family is the first priority to be eliminated.¡± ¡°her!¡± Dalimus let out an exclamation at Dio¡¯s absurd words. Should you believe someone else¡¯s words that your child will commit misdeeds? ¡°On what basis are you making this conclusion? The future? ¡°You saw the future¡­¡± Dalimus, who was on the verge of annoyance, swallowed his words for a moment. See the future? Our ancestors said it. The darkness that will one day come to the continent. And the family must increase its strength to fight against that darkness. This was the prediction of a god whose records had been wiped out on this continent for a long time, and there was one person who proved it. Mother Calliope. Now that the mother, who will be dismissed as nothing more than a legend, has come to visit Dalimus, the ¡®oracle¡¯ can never be ignored. And the realm of ¡®foreknowledge¡¯ that the key now shows is something that Dalimus must never overlook. If the Mother returns to the East, do not distrust or disobey her. This is a ¡®commandment¡¯ that has been handed down since the first head of the family of Bertio. Because of this, Dalimus guessed that the mother and the key were related to gods or oracles. ¡°Is it an oracle? ¡°The signal that will cause chaos in the East is my child?¡± ¡°It¡¯s similar.¡± Dio nodded at Dalimus¡¯ words. ¡°In this duel, we will uncover the darkness that Lennon has hidden until now.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°If that happens, not only will the eldest son no longer have a place in the family, but he will also be criticized by everyone.¡± Dio¡¯s words that he would reveal the darkness that Lennon had hidden until now. Those words seemed to mean proving that God¡¯s revelation was true. If this person¡¯s words are true, it would be fortunate if it ended in criticism. ¡°I am in a position where I cannot just watch this. My goal in this duel is not to win, but to show everyone that my eldest son has colluded with the devil. Would that be okay?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dalimus let out a deep sigh. Dio¡¯s words, perhaps just an outsider. Whether it was the duty of the key or the revelation of God, it was not an easy choice for Dalimus. No matter what, the blood relatives he had seen all his life brought down his family. And it¡¯s hard to believe that we¡¯ve already touched the darkness. ¡°¡­Originally, I should have trusted my son.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dalimus could not continue speaking for a while. Dalimus ultimately had no choice but to make a choice. These were not the words of anyone else, but the words of Key, who had great trust from his mother. If it is true that Lennon has been hiding the things that have touched the dark side, then Dalimus himself is also responsible. This is because he failed to fulfill his responsibility as the head of the family and as a father. After thinking for a long time, Dalimus opened his mouth. ¡°I will believe you. ¡°What are your future plans?¡± * * * Dalimus looked at Lennon, who had lost his arm and was unconscious. ¡®Lennon¡­ think of it as a reward for your greed. ¡®I, too, failed to fulfill my responsibilities, so I will make everything right.¡¯ First, we have to deal with the Chamberlain, who can be considered a close associate of Lennon. Dalimus hoped that everything Dio said was a lie. Or it¡¯s a mistake. What the forgotten god predicted was all a mistake. However, Dalimus, who had watched closely what Dio had prepared for this moment, could feel it inside. God¡¯s revelation is truth. The person who lent Lennon¡¯s power was said to be Acrich, a man with an evilness that even black magicians could not dare to match. Acrich said that in order to awaken the darkness planted inside Lennon, he had to borrow the power of a sacred object that had been buried in the territory for a long time. ¡®The location of the sacred object was also accurately known and found. There is no longer any doubt about the key¡¯s power.¡¯ Dalimus could understand why Dio was called the key. A key is something that opens something locked and reveals something hidden inside. What is important to Key is not strength. It exists to prepare for and resolve future risks. He was literally the one who best suited the meaning of the key. ¡®If everything goes as planned¡­ the continent will be engulfed in chaos.¡¯ Dalimus, who had already heard part of the plan from Dio, looked at him. As he said, he emptied all the places where the holy relics were located and agreed to Dio¡¯s offer to intervene in the middle of the duel. Since things have gone as Dio had planned so far, there is a strong possibility that future events will also proceed as he expected. ¡®It was said that it was impossible to prevent the coming chaos. But they said we all grow through this.¡¯ Dalimus pondered what Dio said and looked at his close friend. Swordmaster Gunther. The person Dalimus could trust the most at the moment was not a member of his family. It was the site of the emperor, the pinnacle of the empire, and the military who supported him most closely. And as the situation grows, the power of the empire ruling the central continent is now desperately needed. ¡®Please.¡¯ Dalimus nodded slightly towards Gunther, who met his gaze. Then, Gunther also raised his hand as if he understood, and soon several imperial nobles who received his signal disappeared in an instant. They were probably Gunther¡¯s subordinates disguised as nobles. ¡®Dio¡­I hope we all become one like you said.¡¯ Dalimus prayed as he watched Dio walking towards the crowd of spectators. As he said, I hope that Bertio, who has grown up, will endure and overcome the darkness to come. * * * ¡°That is absurd!¡± Someone shouted at Dio for mentioning the name of a god who had been forgotten by man for a thousand years. ¡°The sun god? Never heard of it! Saying that I have never heard of it is like saying that our family does not know!¡± Dio looked at the nobleman who was arguing with him. The nobleman spread his shoulders wide and looked proud, as if he were proud of himself. Dio recognized the emblem he was wearing at a glance. ¡®You must be Clinton. This place also has a deep history.¡¯ Viscount Clinton was included in the eastern sphere of influence, but because it bordered the southern region, it was quite far from Vetrio¡¯s territory. Therefore, the nobles around him, including Viscount Clinton, were close to the southern nobles who were greatly influenced by the Luna Church. Viscount Clinton himself is also an ardent believer in the Luna Church. ¡°What you just said is blasphemy! Are you saying that you defeated the warlock by borrowing the name of the sun, which no one knows, rather than Luna¡¯s name?¡± The people¡¯s murmur grew louder as Viscount Clinton spoke. Among those gathered here, there were several noble nobles whose names were as long-lived as Bertio¡¯s. Even they did not know the existence of the sun god, so they agree with Viscount Clinton. ¡°Sun god? Have you ever heard of it?¡± ¡°I heard that among the barbarians in the far north, there are people who worship the sun¡­ did you say it was a totem?¡± ¡°They revere everything, whether it¡¯s a bear or a rock.¡± ¡°Are you saying you¡¯re a barbarian? ¡°Are you saying it¡¯s heresy?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what, right? ¡°I think it¡¯s true that we defeated the warlock.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be stupid. ¡°It¡¯s the warlocks who kill and kill each other.¡± The uproar caused by Viscount Clinton showed no signs of abating easily. Dio¡¯s story about the sun god was not easy to accept, so it was a natural phenomenon. And Dio expected this. ¡®It won¡¯t be easy to accept the existence of a god who has been forgotten for a thousand years.¡¯ Dio knows well how much influence religion has on the world. I didn¡¯t know much about world history, but I had at least heard about the Crusades that pitted Christianity and Islam against each other. ¡®Even this is a world where spiritual gods and divine powers truly exist. To them, faith is much more absolute than the world I lived in.¡¯ If Dio were in their position, he would have reacted the same way. ¡®There is only one way to persuade them.¡¯ Dio slowly looked around at the people making a fuss. People who are surprised, people who doubt, people who act calm¡­. To prove that the words they just said are not lies, you have to show them. ¡®God¡¯s miracle.¡¯ Things like walking on water or turning water into wine. The stage has already been set. Dio looked at Lennon and then made eye contact with Dalimus. He also just looked like he was wondering what he was going to do and stayed back from persuading people on Dio¡¯s behalf. ¡°I know it¡¯s hard to believe everything I¡¯ve said right now.¡± As soon as Dio opened his mouth, people¡¯s voices quieted down. They are all curious. What does the Great History of the Sun mean? What he wants to say. ¡°When Luave was defeated in Oaks, the witnesses thought he was just using sword techniques.¡± Even for Dio, it was impossible to use sword skills in just a few days. Instead, he looked for another way. ¡°Are you saying it¡¯s not sword energy?¡± ¡°That was divine power?¡± ¡°Well, I just defeated Lennon¡­¡± Dio¡¯s words make people excited again. This is because anyone who can use divine power comparable to Luave can hardly be considered a heretic. However, Viscount Clinton, who was not fooled by Dio¡¯s words, surpassed everyone and stepped forward. ¡°Wasn¡¯t it Luna¡¯s divine power that defeated the eldest son who became a demon? The thing you used. Everyone here saw that it was clearly Luna¡¯s light.¡± ¡°You recognized Luna¡¯s holy relic.¡± ¡°of course! ¡°Only Luna¡¯s moonlight can exert such divine power!¡± Viscount Clinton became energized by Dio¡¯s question. Dio smiled slightly at him. The power contained in the holy relic was immediately recognized by anyone who had reached a certain level, such as Viscount Clinton. In that case, the miracle of God that Dio will show them in the future will not be easily overlooked. ¡°Let me prove it. ¡°I am not a heretic, and I am a believer who serves the sun, not Luna.¡± ¡°good night! But if you can¡¯t do this, you are just a fraud imitating Luna¡¯s divine power. I must punish you for this¡­¡± Viscount Clinton, who was in the middle of speaking, lost his words for a moment. An item that appeared in front of people as if vomiting from Dio¡¯s inventory. Not only Clinton but everyone else in the room could not keep their mouths shut when they saw it. Woe! It was a sword. Amazingly dazzling and sacred appearance. People could tell. The proof that Dio spoke of is exactly what it says. This is truly¡­ a ¡®miracle of God¡¯. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 129 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 129Episode 129: God¡¯s Miracle. Commonly known as ¡®Miracle¡¯. A mythical weapon that is said to be the greatest and most splendid of the holy relics left behind by Luna. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Miracle] Grade: Myth Classification: One-handed sword Level limit: None Required faith: 100000 Holy power: 3000 Special conditions: If faith is insufficient, the user is subject to a penalty of God¡¯s wrath Applies. The user affected by God¡¯s Wrath takes damage equal to 10% of their maximum health every 10 seconds. Myth Effect: Purifies all types of demonic energy exposed to the surrounding area. However, if the strength of the magic energy is higher than the sacred power of the Miracle, it cannot be purified. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª A long time ago, when the world was immersed in darkness, Luna gave humans a holy sword that could defeat the Demon King. Among the Holy Knights, the one chosen by Luna became a warrior and cut off the Demon King¡¯s head with the holy sword. The Holy Sword, which completed Luna¡¯s mission, was destroyed along with the Demon King. But this is not true. The Holy Sword is hidden in the deepest underground part of the Holy Kingdom and is a mythical item that can be acquired by satisfying the hidden conditions. The condition is that it must be a class that can use Luna¡¯s divine power. In addition, the player¡¯s faith points for Luna must exceed 100,000. Players are given devotion points every time they complete a mission given by the Luna Church. The higher this number, the easier it is to ask for Luna¡¯s cooperation. And it is not until the 100,000 mark is reached that Luna¡¯s saint, Kaleina, completely trusts the player and gives him a holy relic. ¡®There were a few times when I behaved like a dog under Luna.¡¯ Dio knows everything about Luna, and he also knows that the story surrounding the Holy Sword is spreading among people. Luna¡¯s holy sword that Dio has just taken out is the real thing. Even though it was the first time people had seen the Holy Sword, they immediately recognized the object in front of them as the main character in the legend. This is because the appearance of the holy sword stuck at an angle on the surface of the ground is exactly the same as the appearance of the holy sword recorded in the picture. How brilliant this is. How noble is this. The tears of moonlight, called Luna¡¯s sacred relics, have shown enough miracles to people. But even the tears of moonlight were nothing compared to this. If ordinary people saw Moonlight Tears, they would think it was just a pretty blue-silver gem, but this was on a different level. A sacredness that can be confident that even those who are ignorant of faith will see it as something out of the ordinary. However, because people felt that the Holy Sword was real, they had doubts. ¡°That¡¯s a real holy sword?¡± ¡°It could be fake!¡± ¡°No, if the legend is true, shouldn¡¯t it have disappeared along with the Demon King?¡± ¡°But why does the author, who is a believer in the god Solari, have Luna¡¯s Holy Sword?¡± There was an uproar from people who were familiar with the legend. What people think is a holy sword is only in appearance. Maybe this was an illusion. And if that is the holy sword Luna left behind, there are more than one strange thing about it. Let alone the fact that Luna¡¯s holy sword exists, why does a believer of the sun who denies Luna have it? A question that people naturally have. At this, Dio smiled to himself and opened his mouth to the people. ¡°This is not Luna¡¯s holy relic.¡± Dio chose to lie as a way to solve that question. ¡®Luna¡¯s Holy Sword. From now on, you will become Solari¡¯s holy sword.¡¯ There are currently two Miracles in this world. One bag is what I am holding right now. The others are well hidden deep underground in the Holy Kingdom of Atra. In the end, it appears that two identical holy swords have appeared, so the problem will be solved if Dio deceives himself by thinking that his is Solari¡¯s. That way, they would be able to deceive the Luna saint who heard the news from here. Solari knows that Dio is an outsider who crossed the dimension. But does Luna, like Solari, know Dio¡¯s true identity? If the situation was unknown, there was no need to give Luna a hint about it. The fact that he has crossed dimensions and experienced the future of the order board is Dio¡¯s most powerful weapon. So Dio decided. It would be okay to create a new myth by linking Luna¡¯s name to the Solari. ¡°This holy sword is a sacred relic of Solari, the god I serve.¡± ¡°Are you saying that the legend is false?¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± For those who could not easily believe, Dio grabbed the handle of the Miracle in front of him. Only the chosen ones are qualified to use the holy sword. If someone else grabs the holy sword, their entire body will burn due to God¡¯s wrath. The legend that people know is true. This is clearly stated in Miracle¡¯s terms of use. Dio obviously does not fit these conditions. Surprisingly, Dio lifted Miracle lightly. ¡°I caught the holy sword!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just like the picture I saw in the neuro!¡± 1.5m is the length of the sword body. It was long enough to be classified as a great sword, but the grip length was not that large. Since Miracle was initially classified as a one-handed sword, Dio held up Miracle and showed it to people in detail. ¡°If you are not the chosen one, you will be burned!¡± ¡°That might not be the holy sword!¡± Dio smiled secretly at the noise of the people and approached the unconscious Lennon and thrust Miracle at him. Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at this is why I told Dalimus to leave the incapacitated Lennon alone. Because I have to show the miracle of the Holy Sword in front of everyone. Naturally, since Dio¡¯s holy sword was genuine, its effect immediately affected Lennon. ¡°Look over there!¡± ¡°The eldest son who was a demon?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going back to being human! ¡°This is a miracle!¡± Although it is possible to purify the power of a demon, a human transformed into a demon cannot be restored. That was common sense that people knew, but that common sense was collapsing before their eyes. People could not help but be amazed by the efficacy of Miracle, which could only be described as a miracle. Of course, if you look closely, you can see that Dio is deceiving everyone. Dio cannot use Miracle directly in the first place. This happens simply because of the special nature of Miracle itself. Dio only pretended to use Miracle to make people realize that he was the chosen one. ¡®I¡¯m glad I have the all-purpose jade.¡¯ Dio glanced at the hand holding the Miracle. The part that is currently in contact with the holy sword is not Dio¡¯s body. He gave his hands the divine power of Luna, created from the all-purpose jade. The Miracle cannot even be touched unless one possesses Luna¡¯s divine power. However, Dio does not use the Miracle; he only needs to lift it. If they can force it, people will only believe what they see. Of course, Dio cannot use the Holy Sword in this state. Because it was forcibly lifted when only the conditions were met, it is safe to say that the Miracle has no value as a weapon. However, it can be used to some extent as a tool rather than equipment. Like purifying Lennon, for example. Lennon was in pain for just a moment. When Miracle completely purified the demonic energy contained in his body, his skin color soon returned to its original state and even a pair of ugly horns disappeared. Dio nodded to Dalimus as he looked at Lennon, who had fallen asleep looking at peace in the world. Then Dalimus summoned the knights as if he had been waiting and hurried Lennon to the treatment room. No matter how great Acrich is, he cannot demonstrate his power in front of a holy sword. Of course, since the holy sword is not omnipotent, there are curses and magic spells that cannot be removed with this sword, but there is no need to worry about that now. Tiring!

Reveal all of Lennon¡¯s darkness to the world and return the demonized Lennon to his original state. As soon as I let it go, a system beep sounded as if it was waiting for me. But Dio¡¯s work is not over yet. We need to clearly convince the people who have seen it all. thud! Dio put Miracle on the ground and stepped back so everyone could get a closer look. Although he tried to use the all-purpose jade as a trick, the holy sword is not an item so trivial that it can be used in this way. The longer he holds it, the more Luna¡¯s power contained in it travels through the omnipotent jade and affects Dio¡¯s body. Dio¡¯s palms felt hot as if they were on fire, but he didn¡¯t show it and shouted to everyone. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, come and listen to this holy sword! But if you do not have the faith of the sun, you will be burned. ¡°I will not take responsibility for that.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s remarks, not a single person among the numerous people came forward. Viscount Clinton, who refuted it most vigorously, also just stared at Miracle and stepped back, as if he did not dare to challenge him. Everyone here was admitting it deep down. What is in front of you is without a doubt a holy sword, and everything Dio says is true. Is it because of the friendship level from quest rewards? Whether Dio¡¯s words were persuasive or not, the system was determined. This means that the friendliness of those who value honor has increased significantly. And since most nobles, including Viscount Clinton, valued honor, they would take Dio¡¯s words more cautiously than before. Of course, even without compensation from the system, what D.O. did had a huge impact on persuading people. Lennon turned into a demon. And the holy sword that purified him at once. The sacred power of the holy sword is real, and Dio¡¯s words about using it are more than enough to be trusted. ¡®Luna has been hiding the truth for a thousand years. To push out the Solari and make the world his own.¡¯ Dio looked at the people and grinned. This is because he understood Luna¡¯s actions to some extent. What convinced people now was ultimately the existence of Luna¡¯s Holy Sword Miracle. However, those who use Miracle claim to be followers of the Sun. Just like Luna, who intercepted the feat of Solari, who opposed the Demon King a thousand years ago. ¡®Some of these people may still have doubts. So I have to keep showing it.¡¯ In fact, it is safe to view Bertio as an ally as he is under Calliope¡¯s breath. Moreover, since it has been proven that Lennon is corrupted by the Magi, Dalimus will definitely support Dio. And most of the eastern nobles who follow Dalimus will not easily overlook Dio¡¯s remarks. In the first place, the eastern part was an area that the power of the Luna Church had not completely controlled. ¡®Now it¡¯s just one step. ¡®We must gather forces to oppose Luna, starting from the east.¡¯ Calliope had some stake in this matter. If it weren¡¯t for him, no matter how close I was to Ates, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to easily contact Dalimus. As you can see from this, you might think that the Seven Stars were Dio¡¯s strong allies, but that wasn¡¯t necessarily the case. ¡®Ludence.¡¯ A vampire lord, one of the seven stars that Dio first encountered in the world of Order. He preferred to move quietly, even avoiding mentioning Solari¡¯s name. ¡®Goddess Luna must have noticed my presence by now.¡¯ Considering that Ludens didn¡¯t bother to reveal Solari¡¯s name. Just because people accepted Solari¡¯s name, Luna was likely to recognize it. In that case, it was clear that the Luna Church¡¯s future actions would become more radical, but Dio still brought Solari out to the world. Since they have created a huge barrier called Vertio, the Luna Church will not move hastily. Anyway, things happened and Dio needed to move forward from here, so he started talking about his next plan. ¡°The devil is about to be resurrected. It¡¯s time for us all to join forces. No, we have to merge. It started in the East.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 130 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 130 S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Episode 130 In fact, the signs of the Demon King¡¯s resurrection do not begin in the East. Clues to the Demon King¡¯s resurrection are given to players throughout the continent. But people don¡¯t know much about this. The evil forces that dream of the resurrection of the Demon King carry out their mission in secret, and finding out their purpose is the main scenario given only to the players. ¡°The devil is being resurrected?¡± ¡°What does that mean now?¡± The people who were surprised about the existence of the Holy Sword once again looked in disbelief. But now that the hidden quest has been completed. D.O.¡¯s remarks contain a power that people can never ignore. ¡°Signs of the Demon King¡¯s resurrection have occurred several times in the past.¡± Dio began to speak in more detail about the basis for the resurrection of the Demon King, drawing people¡¯s attention. Knowledge as an archive. Quests in the eastern region that Dio has discovered and performed from the player¡¯s perspective. The number of underwater monsters on the eastern seaboard is increasing. The appearance of orc legions and demonic beasts multiplying in the forest. Undead and ghosts suddenly awaken in an ordinary graveyard. As Dio listed each item, people, especially the nobles living in the territory related to the above incident, were shocked to the point of bewilderment. As expected, the problems listed by D.O. are ongoing and becoming more serious. And among the nobles gathered here, there were also those who gave the player quests. The Earl of Scarborough, who administers the coastal region. Viscount Leinster, whose fiefdom included forests in the central east. Baron Zeke has a huge graveyard within his territory. These were all people Dio knew, and he vividly remembered receiving quests from them. ¡°Are these problems a sign of the Demon Lord¡¯s resurrection?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. It¡¯s getting worse. ¡°I was in a difficult situation because I couldn¡¯t handle it with the private soldiers alone¡­¡± ¡°I also came here to ask the duke for help.¡± There is no lie in Dio¡¯s words. So people seemed to somewhat understand Dio¡¯s words that all of this was a sign of the Demon King¡¯s resurrection. but. ¡°But isn¡¯t this problem something the Luna Church should deal with?¡± ¡°you¡¯re right. ¡°If Duke Bertio hadn¡¯t rejected the Luna Church, we would have easily asked them for help!¡± Dio said that since the Demon King is being resurrected, they must join forces. But people couldn¡¯t understand why Dio needed our power and not the Luna Church. Even though the force that stands in opposition to the Demon King is clearly the Luna Church. Therefore, Dio needed to inform him that Luna was hostile to Solari. In addition to letting people know about Solari¡¯s name, they also need to make them realize that the Luna Church is an untrustworthy entity. ¡°These things. The Luna Church is silent. Because the Duke of Bertio does not accept the church, he stands by and watches what is happening in the East? This alone shows that they are not carrying out their doctrine.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°There are certainly some among you who have requested help from the Luna Church. The excuses they make. Do you really believe it? And didn¡¯t you ignore it?¡± All the nobles were speechless at Dio¡¯s words. As he said, the Luna Church was only watching the evil forces that appeared in the east under the excuse that Bertio did not want to interfere. And that¡¯s why we asked the players for help. Of course, the church supported me when I played like that, but there was no need to mention that fact here. ¡°Luna has more important things to do than eradicating evil.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be possible! Do you know how many warlocks the Luna Church has purged so far?¡± Some people who still have strong faith in Luna refuted Dio¡¯s words. ¡°Yes. ¡°The Luna Church¡¯s Inquisitor is famous.¡± ¡°But did the Church¡¯s Inquisitors¡­ really only hunt warlocks?¡± ¡°They are the ones who condemn those who do not like them as heretics and judge them at will.¡± ¡°Because you know that fact, you may have used it politically, and because you know that fact, you probably thought of the Inquisitor first.¡± ¡°The Luna Church only has Inquisitors? ¡°Would you blindly believe in the absence of loving mercy?¡± At Dio¡¯s words, people whispered that it couldn¡¯t be like that. However, Dio urged them and pointed to his face. ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am?¡± Everyone tilted their heads at Dio¡¯s unexpected question. While exposing the Luna Church¡¯s evil deeds, you suddenly don¡¯t know who you are? But only then did people notice. The person speaking in front of him was clearly wanted by the Luna Church¡­ ¡°I thought I saw it on the wanted list for a moment?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right! Even the silver-haired woman next to me!¡± ¡°What did I say!¡± ¡°You were being vague too, and now you¡¯re here¡­!¡± When Dio revealed his identity and dismantled the perception-impairing magic, everyone who had been there shouted. ¡°Why did the Church want me, a warrior of Solari? Because they are wary of the god I serve.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°I was called a monster hunter in the West. As a believer in Solari, all I did was repeatedly punish the shadowy evil on the continent. But they accused me of being a heretic for no reason.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡°If you¡¯re a heretic, there¡¯s no reason to save people in Ox.¡± ¡°Did the Luna Church really spread false rumors?¡± ¡°But there is also a story that vampires and witches also work¡­¡± Dio looked around the crowd once again as people were making a fuss. If the timing was right now, Dio thought it would be better to introduce the other members of the group except Sephia. ¡°The rumor you all heard. Some of them are true. ¡°Among my companions are vampires and witches.¡± ¡°Look!¡± ¡°Is it sane to have such evil beings as your companions?¡± ¡°But the author wields divine power and must have been chosen¡­!¡± To calm the confusion that had arisen again, Dio reminded people of the story he had told earlier. ¡°Have you forgotten the evil deeds of the Luna Church that I mentioned?¡± ¡°You mean accusing an innocent person of heresy? ¡°But they are not human!¡± ¡°My colleagues are different from the demons and warlocks who harm the continent. ¡°Even if they practice the same darkness as they do, they are not harmful beings.¡± ¡°What does that mean? Are you saying that vampires and witches are on the side of humans?¡± ¡°If humans don¡¯t become hostile first, they will definitely become our friends. Just like the colleagues I trusted and worked with.¡± In the face of numerous people who raised objections, Dio defended his colleagues without hesitation. ¡°It was thanks to my colleagues who were vampires and witches that we were able to stop Luave from invading Ox. ¡°Are you accusing them of heresy even though they risked their lives to protect the East?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Do you know what the Luna Church did there? ¡°Even though the warlock was fighting through the people right in front of us, he just used his might to catch us.¡± While Dio was speaking passionately for a long time. ¡°I can guarantee this.¡± A charismatic, deep-pitched voice suddenly joined in. Dio looked to the side and saw Dalimus, who had been silent until now, stepping forward. Since it was Dalimus¡¯ support to give strength to his remarks, Dio nodded to him to express his gratitude. ¡°I discovered the hidden demon and also showed you the holy sword. ¡°You still don¡¯t know?¡± When Dio snapped his fingers, Sephia who was next to him came out. Hwaaaak ¨C As if the sun shining down was right next to me. The beam of light emitted by sepia allowed those present to feel the warmth of divine power. ¡°This¡­.¡± ¡°It¡¯s warm¡­.¡± ¡°It¡¯s different from what I got from the Luna Church.¡± People who strongly felt the warmth of the sun let out exclamations. Even Viscount Clinton just sat down and widened his eyes, probably surprised by the warmth of the sun that he could not feel in the Luna Church. ¡°If you still don¡¯t believe me, please leave. And I won¡¯t care whether you report it to the Luna Church or ignore it altogether.¡± Nevertheless. ¡°Even if the Luna Church raises troops to catch me, I won¡¯t stop! No matter how much they try to hinder me, I will not sit back and stand still in the face of the enemy! ¡°For the East!¡± ¡°For the eastern part of the province¡­!?¡± Dio once again forcibly grabbed the holy sword. People were mesmerized by Miracle¡¯s sword body shining and reflecting the light. Perhaps the cult leader seems to be inciting people. In fact, Dio¡¯s goal was to incite people by mixing truth and lies. If you look closely, the logic is extremely flawed. Nevertheless, the reason why this was possible was because of the great help of ¡®Hidden Quest¡¯. After mentioning the Demon King, he immediately exposes the evil deeds of the Luna Church, driving the audience¡¯s spirits up. They also filled us with ¡®gukppong¡¯ while crying out for Dongbu. Dio¡¯s words that he will protect the East even if the Luna Church is considered heretical. This hardened the hearts of nobles who already thought highly of the honor of the East. ¡°Luna¡¯s followers have deceived countless people and are lying about sealing the Demon King, just as Luna did.¡± Starting with the legend tied to the Miracle, Dio began listing the unholy acts committed by the Luna Church. Dio¡¯s experience with the Luna Church as a player. The goal was to use them to expose the corruption committed by Luna. The Heresy Inquisitor burned innocent people at the stake. Turning away people¡¯s help because they believed in a god other than Luna¡­ Even Luna¡¯s good deeds were turned into malicious ones. Just like what Luna did to the Solari for a thousand years. ¡®An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This is the popular fighting style in the world I live in.¡¯ Dio was the only human to receive Solari¡¯s blessing, but he does not particularly consider himself a believer in her. And Solari was also aware of this. Because she was just asking Dio for help. From Dio¡¯s perspective, there is no need to fight enemies with only truth and goodness. Dio is not from the Order Board, but from another dimension called Earth. ¡°D.I.O! D.I.O! D.I.O!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that God protects my food bowl rather than taking it away!¡± ¡°For the East!!¡± ¡°How do I join the Solari Church?¡± Dio¡¯s speaking ability, combined with the quest reward, begins to shine. It would be safe to say that system calibration was a cheat key. In an instant, people were chanting and praising Dio¡¯s name and the name of the sun god. They also want to do it together. With the owner of the holy sword and the great warrior of the sun. There was no one here anymore who just turned a blind eye and wanted help from the Luna Church, which was full of lies. The people pledged themselves to protect the eastern lands. ¡°Solari gave us an oracle. ¡°Acrich will appear in the near future.¡± Dio succeeded in inciting people by any means possible, whether it was lies or the power of the system. Dio needed to keep the eastern part of the country safe, where he needed to build a foundation in order to further increase his power in the future. And the first task for him is to deal with the devil¡¯s associates living in the east. Acrich Deathrugger, one of the Five Stars and reigning as the king of lichs. ¡®You are our first sacrifice.¡¯ Dio smiled evilly as he thought of Acrich as the first sacrifice to unite people. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 131 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 131Episode 131: People flock to Malobon thanks to the duel between the Bertio brothers. Many of them were people who could not enter the stadium and were just waiting for the results. In particular, the large number of people gathered outside Yeongju Castle was so dense that it could be called a festival. One person rushing somewhere, passing the people gathered like that. ¡°Aaaah!¡± ¡°what? you!¡± He continued running without a word of apology to the people he bumped into, passing through the crowded square and running towards the alley. ¡°Huh oh oh oh oh!¡± Even though his breathing became heavy, he did not stop running. I had to tell the story of what happened in Yeongju as soon as possible. ¡®It¡¯s a big deal. Relics and holy swords. And the resurrection of the Demon King? If that is true¡­¡¯ His identity was an informant dispatched to Malobon by the Luna Church. A speech by Dio, who claims to believe in the sun, not the moon. After listening to the end of what he said, the informant¡¯s mind became confused. ¡®How much is the truth? No, you shouldn¡¯t doubt the religious order.¡¯ The informant was someone who was only loyal to Luna. In particular, since he was willing to do anything for Saint Kaleina, there was no such thing as honor for him. Because of this, the impact of the quest Dio performed was also lost. Nevertheless, Dio¡¯s words were persuasive enough to shake the hearts of the blindly loyal informants. The informant almost shouted Dio¡¯s name and Solari¡¯s name along with countless other people present, but was barely able to come to his senses and escape. ¡®It¡¯s not Luna¡¯s holy sword? no. Don¡¯t be swayed. Let¡¯s tell this to the saint as soon as possible¡­huh!?¡¯ The moment the informant caught his breath and tried to run forward again, he lost his breath due to the pain he felt in his leg. thud! The informant, who fell forward, barely endured the burning pain and looked up. ¡°Who are you?¡± The thugs appear between the tall buildings as if they were waiting for an informant to pass by in this alley. This is Malobon, the center of Bertio¡¯s territory. Are you a scoundrel in these streets, managed by the Duke of Bertio, who is considered the strongest in the East? These questions were immediately resolved. This was because the informant recognized one of the thugs who attacked him. ¡°You all¡­!¡± ¡°If you knew me, the story would be quick.¡± In response to the informant¡¯s reaction, one of the thugs who jumped from the top of the building approached the fallen informant. ¡°The emperor¡¯s dogs dare attack me!?¡± The informant, who was in a high position in the Luna Church, let out an angry cry. Because of his position, he recognized the scoundrel right away. The true identity of the scoundrels who now appear before our eyes are the subordinates of Swordmaster Gunther. ¡°Indeed¡­it looks like our information has also been leaked.¡± Like the Luna Church¡¯s informants, the Empire¡¯s informants who work in secret are the so-called ¡®Dragon¡¯s Shadow¡¯. They were Gunther¡¯s direct subordinates and were not surprised that the church¡¯s informant recognized them. Although our affiliations are different, our mission to obtain each other¡¯s information is the same. ¡°Why are you stopping me? ¡°This is not something the Empire should be involved in!¡± ¡°No, this is not something the church should intervene in.¡± ¡°what?¡± At the words of the church informant, the ¡®Dragon¡¯s Shadow¡¯ member shook his head and corrected his words. ¡°This is a matter for the East and the Empire. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that Bertio is clearly a duke belonging to the Empire?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous! They said the devil would be resurrected! Who do you think can eradicate evil? Bertio? Empire? ¡°The only thing that can stop them is our church!¡± At the informant¡¯s shout, the Dragon¡¯s Shadow members looked at each other and smiled. ¡°Well¡­I guess there is another church other than Luna that can stop them?¡± ¡°Are you really saying that you believe there is a sun god? ¡°You guys are making mistakes¡­ gag!¡± Sigh ¨C the imperial informant immediately slit the cult informant¡¯s throat as if it was no longer worth talking to, and his dying words rang out. ¡°Hurry. ¡°The time that Gunther gave us is running out.¡± ¡°The main gate will be guarded by Bertio knights. ¡°We look for other sources of information.¡± One of the Imperial informants dragged out the body of the Church informant, and the other two hurried to the next location. Solari¡¯s status began in the Territory of Bertio. It was sure to reach the ears of the Luna Church someday, but Gunther took a hand in delaying it. Delaying the delivery of information is like stealing the other person¡¯s time. The conflict between the religious denomination and the East may seem trivial. No one knew that this would later become the butterfly effect and change the landscape of the continent. * * * Knock. Knock. Dio lightly knocked on Dalimus¡¯ door to his private office. ¡°Please come in.¡± Upon hearing Dalimus¡¯ voice, Dio immediately opened the door and saw Dalimus looking at the window. Dalimus knew that the person who visited him was Dio. He wasn¡¯t paying any attention to Dio, but was still looking at the window. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dalimus¡¯ face reflected in the window looked very gaunt. He must have been sitting in his seat for a long time, lost in thought, and a cold teacup can be seen on the table in front of him. He must have been distraught because Lennon had become a demon. Dio quietly sat across from Dalimus so as not to disturb him. Dalimus did not open his mouth, and Dio also took a moment of silence for him. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Dio broke the long silence and spoke first. ¡°¡­what can I do? It¡¯s my fault for having an ugly son. But thanks to you, my life was saved. And my life.¡± Dalimus looked at Dio as if trying to regain his strength and forced his sagging shoulders to straighten. Dio¡¯s prophecy that Lennon will one day murder Dalimus and bring down Bertio. Dalimus also assimilated Dio¡¯s speech and could not help but believe in the oracle of Solari that he delivered. That¡¯s why I expressed my gratitude to Dio. For stopping Lennon. For protecting Bertio. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t brought back Lennon, I would have had to kill my own son.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dalimus¡¯ words that children can be punished even if it is for the sake of the family¡¯s greater cause. Dio was just silent at his words. This is because we do not know what words to comfort the misfortune that occurs among family members. Dalimus, who noticed this, waved his hand as if to say not to worry, and then began the next story. ¡°The last things you said¡­are they all true?¡± ¡°You mean about Acrich?¡± The reason Dalimus called Dio was because of his future plans for Acrich. Acrich was a Dalimus that I had never heard of before. If you¡¯re a close associate of the Demon King, you¡¯re definitely a dangerous person. Dalimus wanted to know more about the enemy¡¯s existence. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s all true. ¡°The demonic energy emitted by the Demon King, who is about to be resurrected, is so powerful that it affects every corner of the continent.¡± ¡°I know that this phenomenon exists not only in the East, but throughout the continent. ¡°It was all a sign against the Demon King¡­¡± Dalimus reflected on Dio¡¯s words with a serious expression. No matter how powerful Bertio was, it was too much for him to handle the problems happening in the East on his own. ¡°Can¡¯t we prevent the Demon King from being resurrected?¡± ¡°With the knowledge I have, it is impossible to prevent the Demon King¡¯s resurrection in advance.¡± ¡°Impossible? Are you saying we should just sit back and watch until it wakes up?¡± Dalimus expressed his dissatisfaction at Dio¡¯s words. But I can¡¯t help it. The resurrection of the Demon King is a planned scenario. It was like a huge disaster that would inevitably come to the continent someday. ¡°It¡¯s not just about watching. So, aren¡¯t you trying to cut off the devil¡¯s hands and feet?¡± ¡°Right. To weaken the forces of evil gathered around the devil. okay. ¡°These are the things we must do in the future.¡± Dalimus nodded as if he understood what Dio said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the East. As you said, I will be prepared to move at any time. ¡°Get ready to defeat the Deathcruger who made my son like that.¡± * * * After talking with Dalimus, Dio headed to his room, lost in deep thought. ¡®Dalimus. Even if you act calm on the outside, you seem to be very heartbroken.¡¯ Dio remembered the head¡¯s face, which had been frozen throughout the conversation. And at the end, he spewed out such strong hatred for Deathcruger that Dio, who felt his anger right under his nose, got goosebumps for a moment. ¡®Lennon Bertio. It¡¯s not a character I have any special feelings for, but not to Dalimus.¡¯ Lennon survived, but he did not survive. Now that everyone knows that he coveted the power of demons, it is difficult for him to live comfortably as a noble or as a human being. In order to restore the family¡¯s honor that was lost because of Lennon, Dalimus would have to send him into exile¡­ or, at worst, be expelled from the family. Because of this, Dalimus must also have complicated feelings. ¡®Lennon Bertio. ¡®Not a character I care about anymore, but not Dalimus.¡¯ If it were a game, Dio wouldn¡¯t have thought much about it. Lennon Bertio is just a supporting character to the player. Or experience points. But this is not the current Dio. Since we have to build a force to oppose the Luna Church and the Demon King, we cannot help but take into account the mental state of other people. Especially when it comes to Dalimus, who can be seen as Dio¡¯s biggest helper. But I can¡¯t help it. Now Dio has no choice but to trust Dalimus, who can be seen as an iron man. Dio knows his situation well. Sepia Eveline Roberto. I¡¯m busy just taking care of the people at the party right now. No matter how great a helper he is, it is an area that Dio cannot physically handle to sympathize with each and every one of them. ¡®Because I¡¯m just human.¡¯ It¡¯s been a long time since I realized that this was not a game, but reality. No matter how much help you get from the system, it cannot be said that your mental power is superior to other people. Nevertheless, the reason Dio¡¯s spirit did not break down is because of his suspicious nature and caution. You can get swayed by your emotions at any time and go astray. Always be aware of this and think about it. And when you think it¡¯s perfect, think again. That is the driving force behind Dio developing seven characters to max level and the reason he is alive today. ¡®And¡­¡¯ Suddenly, he remembered what Solari had said to him. What she said was that she just wanted happiness. Dio was internally comforted by her words. So many people I meet now. Even Sepia, who is considered his closest companion, does not know that he is from another world. A strange world where no one knows my truth. In that world, the only person who recognized me was Solari. ¡®Survive and return. As Solari wishes.¡¯ Have you become a believer in the sun without even realizing it? Or is this also due to the characteristics related to the job? Anyway, Dio regained his strength by controlling his mixed feelings about Dalimus and Lennon. Just like your normal self. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 132 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 132Episode 132 After finishing the interview with Dalimus, Dio headed to Sephia¡¯s room before returning to his own room. There was a need to check her condition as she must have used a lot of divine power in the stadium. When Dio entered the room, he could see Sepia looking like she was waiting for him. ¡°great job.¡± Dio, who checked Sephia, who didn¡¯t seem to have any problems, gave an appropriate greeting. ¡°It was quite unreasonable, wasn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°All I¡¯ve done is show my divine power.¡± Sepia shrugged as if it was no big deal, but Dio knew that she was tired inside. The ¡®Rodendron¡¯s Ring¡¯ obtained from the family¡¯s secret warehouse has the option to increase the user¡¯s intelligence by 15%. In the world of Order Board, sacred power is used by mixing not only divine power but also mana, so its power is proportional to intelligence level. Because of this, Sepia became much stronger than her original strength and was able to easily overpower Lennon. Well, if that was all Sepia had done, there was no way she would have been this tired, but the final performance used up a lot of Sepia¡¯s divine power. Because if you can truly feel the power of the sun, it is better than deceiving people with just words. The visual effect was also significant. Thanks to this, Sepia looked very tired, perhaps because she overdid it. Dio told Sephia to rest in peace and was about to leave the room, but he heard Sephia¡¯s voice calling him to stop. ¡°But what are you going to do now?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°What is it? ¡°If we reveal our identity, the Luna Church will turn on the lights and come after us.¡± Dio grinned at Sephia¡¯s worried expression, who had not heard of his future plans. ¡°don¡¯t worry. Because the church can¡¯t come to get us.¡± * * * Evelyn and Roberto, who responded to Dio¡¯s call to discuss future plans, seemed quite comfortable despite the incident. ¡°We don¡¯t have to hide our identities anymore?¡± ¡°Well, it doesn¡¯t matter here because Bertio will protect you, but what about other places?¡± After Dio revealed the identities of the party members, there was no longer a need to maintain the perception-impairing magic. As a result, they feel refreshed as they no longer need to use pseudonyms and do not have to worry about disguising their unclear identities. However, as Roberto said, you never know what they might look like from the outside, so you had to be on guard at all times. ¡°This issue would also depend on how big our power grows.¡± Dio stood in front of everyone to inform them of his future plans regarding this incident. ¡°What do you think is the probability that there will be an informant from the Luna Church among the spectators who came to see this duel?¡± ¡°Even if the inspector was caught in Bertio, he would have heard about Ox from others. ¡°Unless they¡¯re idiots¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I have to say that it definitely exists. Even if Dalimus maintains security, the Luna Church will find out soon.¡± Evelyn¡¯s eyes, which had been quietly listening to Dio¡¯s explanation, began to tremble uneasily. ¡°Then what? ¡°If the church sends heresy inquisitors¡­¡± Evelyn remembers Galletto whom she encountered in Estellum. It was natural for her to be worried. Although Bertio¡¯s knights are strong, I don¡¯t think they can block five swords. Dio also thinks the same way. but. ¡°They won¡¯t easily send troops to catch us.¡± ¡°Why? ¡°For the Luna Church, our existence must be a thorn in their eyes, right?¡± ¡°They won¡¯t care that Lennon was a Man and that we are heretics.¡± ¡°yes?¡± The party members, including Sephia, looked confused at Dio¡¯s words. These are the people who have been watching the believers rushing towards heretics without thinking. I could not understand why they were saying that they were not interested in heretics and demon infestations. Accordingly, Dio began listing the current situation the Luna Church found itself in after this incident that occurred with Lennon. ¡°The most important part of the game we have now is the existence of the Holy Sword.¡± The holy sword ¡®Miracle¡¯ that Dio showed in front of everyone is definitely the real thing. And the church¡¯s informants will find out about this, and the story about this will throw the Luna Church into chaos. ¡°In fact, the Holy Sword is just dismissed as a legend, and very few people know whether it actually exists.¡± The group nodded at Dio¡¯s words. They had heard that he had personally given the holy sword to Solari, but it was hard to believe it until they actually saw it. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether this holy sword is Luna¡¯s or Solari¡¯s. However, it is important to note that the holy sword that is only known as a legend or has disappeared exists and that the high-ranking priests of the Luna Church know about it.¡± ¡°So they¡¯re hiding the truth!¡± Sephia, who had accurately pinpointed the essence of what Dio was saying, shouted as if she had realized something. ¡°okay. Why did you hide the holy sword? And why is that holy sword in the hands of someone called a heretic?¡± Dio spoke on behalf of the questions raised by believers who had not heard the truth. Most Luna Church believers were unaware of the existence of the Holy Sword. They will distrust the saints and prelates who hid this fact. Of course, those who have a very high level of faith in Saints Kaleina and Luna will still be loyal to the church. However, since they do not represent the entire Luna Church, it is safe to say that internal divisions will inevitably occur. ¡°We will conduct a full internal audit. ¡°Whether it¡¯s real or formal.¡± ¡°The existence of the Holy Sword is what has tied their feet. ¡°This will definitely buy me some time.¡± The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility. Even if the Luna Church quickly resolves internal divisions, they will have to waste time making excuses or persuading their followers. If they move without justification, the tower they have built for a thousand years will slowly collapse. And that is what the saint¡­no, Luna, fears the most. ¡®If Luna was jealous of Solari¡¯s faith¡­ she had no choice but to look at the believers¡¯ opinions. There will probably be a large-scale expulsion of the church for corruption.¡¯ Dio knows that there are people within the Luna Church who have connections to warlocks. There is also a quest to figure out their plot on the Order Board. They are people who use faith to pursue personal gain. According to what Dio remembers, the number of them is quite large and there are some high-ranking priests involved, so the Luna Church will not be able to solve this easily. Because the current Luna Church will not receive help from ¡®players¡¯. ¡°But what if they say Dio-sama¡¯s holy sword can¡¯t be real, no matter how many people have seen it? What if we send troops to check its authenticity?¡± Sepia¡¯s point is valid. A few people, including Kaleina, know that there is only one holy sword, Miracle, and that it is hidden deep underground in the Holy Kingdom. If we confirm that it does not disappear, we have no choice but to be convinced that the holy sword Dio showed us is a fake. In that case, the best thing they can do now is to clearly determine the authenticity of the Holy Sword and tell people that Dio¡¯s words are lies. However, if troops were dispatched to check if the Holy Sword was real, Dio could easily respond. ¡°My holy sword is real. If you suspect it¡¯s fake and send troops, just show it and that¡¯s it. Then the Luna Church will fall into even more confusion.¡± Once again, Miracle is genuine. If this is fake, there is no need for D.O. to tell lies that could be easily discovered. However, because it is real, the Luna Church will be in trouble. Because once they see it with their own eyes, there is no turning back. Since Dio¡¯s words calling her a heretic are true, Kaleina will try to avoid meeting Dio at least partially. From the Luna Church¡¯s perspective, it is a diatribe. ¡°Still, if the saint moves a small number of troops to check¡­¡± It will definitely be five swords. Dio thought that the Luna Church would pay attention to what was happening internally, but he could not guarantee it. Because you can¡¯t be sure of anything. The idea that Kaleina won¡¯t touch him easily is only Dio¡¯s speculation. So this case must also be assumed. First of all, if there is no movement of the Luna Church as Dio thinks, Dio can proceed with one of the following plans with his companions. The first is to set out to hunt Acrich immediately after receiving confirmation of Bertio¡¯s support. Second, together with his companions, he solves numerous incidents that he sees as signs of the resurrection of the Demon King of the East. In other words, it means raising the level. However, if the Luna Church tries to copy the contact through the five swords, as everyone including Dio is worried about¡­ ¡°Eveline.¡± ¡°huh?¡± ¡°When is the next Walpurgis Night?¡± Evelyn seemed to think about Dio¡¯s question for a moment and then opened her mouth. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. However, if you think about the cycle when Master is away¡­ I guess I will get a call from you within 15 days?¡± ¡®It¡¯s been 15 days¡­even this is not certain.¡¯ Considering the five swords that Dio remembered, it seemed unlikely that they would back down even if they saw Miracle and confirmed it. Rather, they are the ones who capture Dio and make him spit out the truth. Or just kill them mercilessly. ¡®Five swords. As strong as they are, they cannot be moved easily.¡¯ They are not called the best forces of the Luna Church for nothing. Aside from the fact that it is a position that does not move easily, they have a lot of work to do. Even if it is not a matter of the eastern part, there are many things to worry about. Nevertheless, if they were to move at the saint¡¯s command, it would be a huge headache for Dio. Moreover, there is more to worry about than simply being a powerful enemy. Because the individual personalities of the five swords are so eccentric, their mere presence is a variable in itself for Dio. I also don¡¯t know how the friendship received as a reward for completing this hidden quest applies to them. When discussing honor, the five swords cannot be left out. Because they are the ones who have risen to the top while protecting their own honor. If Dio had joined hands with the Luna Church and had a friendly relationship, they would certainly view Dio favorably. D.O. cannot know how they will react in a situation where there is a clear conflict. If you think about these variables, you cannot avoid using the five swords without worrying about them. Even if the saintess doesn¡¯t send the five swords now, we are destined to meet them someday¡­ There are people around Dio called the Seven Stars who have the power to stand against the five swords. However, they are not people that Dio can manipulate as he pleases like his limbs. In a situation where we don¡¯t know where the seven stars, including Calliope, are or what they are doing, we can¡¯t include them in our battle force. ¡®I wish I could ask for help during Walpurgis Night¡­¡¯ It was right to exclude uncertain parts from the future situation. It would be much safer that way. What Dio is thinking about now is a plan to prepare for the worst-case scenario where five swords are coming. If you can¡¯t get the help of the seven stars¡­ Dio slowly opened his mouth to the people who were waiting for him to speak, as if something had occurred to him. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 133 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 133Episode 133: Holy Kingdom Atra. Inside the St. Hall, the residence of St. Kaleyna. Saint Hall is normally considered a solemn and reverent place, but not today. ¡°The resurrection of the devil! What an absurd thing to say! ¡°Do you really believe what they say?¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t that completely nonsense? ¡°In fact, the monsters¡¯ behavior is unusual.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that just speculation and not accurate evidence? ¡°If we are swayed by lies, many people will laugh at us.¡± A church informant who monitored the Bertio duchy. However, the informant¡¯s whereabouts disappeared, so the Luna Church dispatched an additional informant to Malobon, where the Duke¡¯s family was located. So the Luna Church heard about what happened in the east belatedly. Immediately, high-ranking clergy were summoned and a meeting was held regarding this. Among them, Saint Kaleina is located at the head of the table. Although the meeting was urgently convened in the name of the archbishop, she did not open her mouth even as the meeting was in full swing. Just as always, without the slightest hesitation or change in expression, he remains aloof from the affairs of the world, as if he were alone and noble. I just watch people with a noble attitude. ¡°We need to understand the truth of the incident in more detail.¡± ¡°What on earth are the informants in the East doing?¡± The clergy gathered at St. Hall were disputing whether what happened in Bertio was true or false. The reason these issues were not easily resolved was because the informant planted in Malobon had lost contact and there was no more detailed information. ¡°Considering Bertio¡¯s influence on the East, it¡¯s not surprising.¡± ¡°you¡¯re right. However, the words of the nobles who are believers of the church cannot be ignored. ¡°Not only the eastern nobles, but other nobles are saying the same thing.¡± One of the priests commented thoughtfully. He wanted to believe that the mercenary¡¯s words were lies, but he couldn¡¯t ignore this incident. This is because other countries except for the Luna Church have shown moves to prepare for the resurrection of the Demon King, so the Church cannot tolerate this incident. Although others nodded in agreement, there were quite a few priests who shook their heads as if this was nonsense. ¡°Are you saying that you literally believe what the nobles who were incited?¡± ¡°All countries are gathering their armies. And they want to hear confirmation about whether our Luna Church will participate in the war.¡± ¡°Why should we care about something that won¡¯t happen?¡± ¡°According to what the mercenary said, Acrich is plotting an evil plan in a hidden area within the demon realm located at the eastern end.¡± ¡°Are you just scared by something like a lich? If a problem arises, it can be resolved at that time.¡± ¡°Not ¡®just¡¯ a lychee! ¡°Acrich!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to wait for the worst, is there? ¡°I think it would be better to simply dispatch a heresy inquisitor and protect the faith of the church.¡± ¡°If we send the Heretic Questioner, what about other regions? ¡°Who will fill their empty space?¡± ¡°Then what are you going to do? If the signs of the Demon King¡¯s resurrection were really true, all countries would criticize us. ¡°Why not send at least a few?¡± ¡°How many Inquisitors are you sending? There are only 100 Inquisitors guarding the entire continent. ¡°They have a lot to worry about, even if it¡¯s not about the East.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s call in the five swords. ¡°One of them is equivalent to an army.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t they the ones who are driven by our decisions? ¡°That part is for the saint to decide.¡± A dispute over whether or not to send Luna Church troops to the east. The assembled clergy were divided into equal parts and engaged in a heated argument. One side wants to dispatch the Luna Church to the east in case what the mercenaries say is true. The other side was that it was clear that the mercenary¡¯s words were lies, so they did not want to respond. As the opinions of both sides were fiercely contested and showed no signs of ending, a cardinal from the Luna Church who held the position of elder stood up. ¡°Lower your voice. ¡°I hope you don¡¯t forget that this is the sacred Saint¡¯s Hall.¡± ¡°But Cardinal Bell¡­¡± One of the priests tried to continue in response to Cardinal Bell¡¯s words, but fell silent as he noticed Kaleyna watching them in silence. The cardinal, who instantly calmed down the room, slowly opened his mouth. ¡°It¡¯s not a matter of whether or not you believe the word that the Demon King will be resurrected.¡± ¡°yes? But¡­as I said before, the monsters¡¯ behavior is unusual. There are already more than one country asking for help from the denomination.¡± In response to the cardinal¡¯s words, one of the priests who strongly insisted on preparing for the devil cautiously opened his mouth. ¡°Judgement of the evil in the world. ¡°It is something we must do¡­¡± The cardinal began to slowly look at everyone except the saint. ¡°You really don¡¯t think the Holy Sword in Malovon is real, do you?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Although the clergy present were also occupying the same space, they could not help but feel intimidated by Cardinal Bell¡¯s interrogative manner. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Of course, I also think there is no harm in being careful. But there¡¯s no way the mercenary¡¯s holy sword is real¡­¡± Cardinal Bell approached Kaleyna, who had been watching in silence. ¡°We will only follow Goddess Luna¡¯s will.¡± Cardinal Bell speaks to the saint with utmost courtesy. This does not only apply to saints. Kaleina is the only being who can contact Luna. It was as if Cardinal Bell, who could not see the goddess directly, was speaking to her indirectly. ¡°¡­.¡± At this, Kaleyna, who had been scanning the crowd like Cardinal Bell, folded her noble hands and closed her eyes. Woooooung ¨C A ring-shaped halo rises from behind Kaleina and shines brightly. The blue-silver glow that could only be seen in sacred paintings seemed to mean that Kaleina was talking to the goddess Luna. ¡°Oooh! ¡°Goddess.¡± ¡°Forgive my rudeness.¡± All the clergy gathered in the Saint Hall, including the cardinal, got up from their chairs and knelt on the floor. Giving an oracle to a saint is by no means common. This meant that Luna also considered this matter to be important, and the priests worshiped her presence even though they could not hear or see her in person. Luna¡¯s brilliance is sacred but has a cold feel to it. The divine power and Luna¡¯s brilliance emanating from Kaleyna¡¯s body stayed in the Saint Hall for a long time, and eventually Kaleina opened her eyes. ¡°Cardinal Bell.¡± ¡°yes.¡± The Cardinal raised his head at Kaleyna¡¯s cold voice. The cardinal¡¯s heart was pounding so hard at the fact that he could hear the oracle for the first time. ¡°Send the people I named to the East right now.¡± ¡°yes.¡± Despite the cardinal¡¯s trustworthy response, Kaleina did not continue speaking immediately. Are you thinking about the oracle given by God and what will happen in the future? Or is he questioning the oracle given by the goddess? But the cardinal and the clergy at St. Hall never thought the latter would be the case. Because just thinking about it is an insult to the God they believe in. And urging Kaleyna to speak is also distrust and blasphemy towards her and God. Therefore, the cardinal did not urge or express any questions until Kaleyna opened her mouth. Soon, the name that was to be called before fell out of Kaleyna¡¯s mouth. Aldur Filgrey, the owner of the Magic Tower and the five swords. Elfinelud, the five swords found in the Southern Elven Forest. And¡­ ¡°Galetto Houndstooth in the South. That is all.¡± * * * St. Hall was empty after a long meeting. Was Luna¡¯s revelation not over? Luna¡¯s brilliance, assimilated with the divine power that Kaleina had just unleashed, flashed several times. Kaleyna, who was standing alone, paid no heed to the flickering light and still maintained an undisturbed posture. ¡°Dio¡­¡± Kaleina quietly muttered Dio¡¯s name. Then the light stopped blinking, which seemed to represent her complicated nerves. Even as Kaleina, I couldn¡¯t understand Dio¡¯s actions at all. A holy sword. There¡¯s no way that¡¯s a real holy sword. But what if it¡¯s real? Would a mercenary who has so far avoided the eyes of the church and himself incite people with such flimsy lies? He was the one who had been hiding all this time. I certainly didn¡¯t think his actions were just lies. Of the five swords, as many as three were assigned to this mission. Has the Luna Church ever had anything like this while working? It would be surprising if only two of the five swords came together, but it is unprecedented for three to come together on one mission. Nevertheless, those who gathered at St. Hall did not have the slightest doubt. Because this is the will of the goddess. Goddess Luna took this matter seriously and made her choice. Whether it¡¯s the resurrection of the Demon King or the Holy Sword, we decided to put everything aside and just confirm the existence of Dio. ¡°It won¡¯t go your way.¡± Kaleyna¡¯s message to Dio, who could not have been heard, rang hollowly in the Saint Hall. * * * Arandal, the largest southern diocese of the Luna Church. A large man covered in blood appeared in the cathedral of Arandal. Even though it was warm weather, steam could be seen coming from his body. It looked absolutely out of place in the sacred cathedral, but the priests couldn¡¯t say anything to the man. Instead, he urgently called the man, as if he had been waiting for him. ¡°Mr. Galletto!¡± ¡°okay. ¡°The Holy Kingdom called me?¡± Galleto Houndstooth, who Dio thought was probably dead. He seemed to have already heard the news, so he took the letter handed to him without much thought. A letter with Kaleyna¡¯s seal. Galletto read the letter quickly and soon showed signs of excitement. Galletto is a person who is not interested in the work of the church. Nevertheless, this time, he could not hide his joy at the fact that the saint had called him. ¡°at las.¡± Galletto massaged his sore shoulders from not being able to escape from the South for a while. The reason why he stayed in southern Arandal and hunted the surrounding monsters. This is because Galeto was placed on probation as punishment for misbehaving in the North and suffering serious injuries. To put it bluntly, it was a serious injury, but to be precise, Galleto literally survived from death. The northern city of Estellum. And the werewolf we encountered in Kalekh Forest. It was Galletto¡¯s first defeat, but he wasn¡¯t upset about it. Rather, Galletto was happy and looked forward to the day when they would meet again, reliving that day¡¯s defeat. And now. Galletto sensed that the time he had been waiting for had come. ¡®Dio¡­ He is the man named Monte that the church was looking for.¡¯ An unidentified mercenary who was wanted by the church. Gallito grinned at the saint¡¯s order to catch him in the East at all costs. Galeto is not interested in the brat with whom he briefly competed in Kalech Forest. Even if it¡¯s not you who is the one, others will take care of it. The only things Galetto is interested in are werewolves¡­and the many powerful people he has yet to meet. In addition, there is even a being called Acrich of the Demonic World. Galeto assured that if he headed east, he would encounter many powerful people, including that werewolf. ¡®Everyone, just wait. I won¡¯t be defeated so easily this time.¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 134 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 134Episode 134 ¡°I am Loki of the Count Villador family.¡± ¡°You worked hard to come this far. ¡°This is Dio.¡± Dio, who was greeting numerous nobles one after another, gave up counting when the number exceeded twenty. Nobles gathering at the lord¡¯s castle in Malobon. In addition, Malobon is currently saturated with the soldiers brought by the nobles. There is only one purpose for which they gathered. It was to subdue Acrich Deathcruger. And today was the launch ceremony ahead of the historic event. * * * A month has passed since Dio revealed the existence of Solari in front of many people. Defeating Acrich or raising his level. Among these two plans, Dio, who had decided to subdue Acrich, formed a subjugation force through the mediation of the Duke¡¯s family. The official document with Bertio¡¯s seal was spread throughout the continent, and the nobles who heard the news made a choice. Whether to participate in the subjugation or not. Most of the nobles in the eastern region who were impressed by Dio¡¯s speech immediately returned to their families and expressed their intention to participate in the punitive force. Of course, eastern nobles who had never seen Dio also reacted positively upon hearing this news. Of course, they had to send soldiers to protect their home. Therefore, the size of the punitive force became larger than Dio expected, and there was no need to worry about numbers. In addition to forming a punitive force, Dio devoted himself and his companions to training to make a decision with Acrich. Not only did he continue to receive Dalimus¡¯ sword training, but Dio personally guided the group¡¯s training. Because D.O. has taken a variety of classes. This is also possible because he knows the skills of his companions better than anyone else. In particular, blood magic is a popular attribute among players. There was no need for Dio to research this. Shadow magic was also minor, but Dio knew it, so it was the same. He told them how to use the optimization skills he knew and what skills could be linked to maximize synergy. In the case of Sepia, it took some time to analyze because it was a class that Dio had no experience with. However, in the end, Sepia was a higher class of priest class, so Dio was able to quickly understand Sepia¡¯s skills. Sepia showed it to Dio herself, and Dio was able to understand the effectiveness of the skill with Sepia based on the information he knew. In the meantime, they are also experimenting with the pledge of liberation. In other words, Dio and his companions focused on increasing their proficiency in individual powers rather than raising their levels. Originally, it would be a good idea to increase your skill and level at the same time while hunting. However, Dio and his companions¡¯ levels were not easily raised. Even if you hunt at a hunting ground appropriate for your level, a lot of time is wasted because there is a lot of experience to be gained. So, the plan to become stronger by leveling up through hunting has been scrapped. Now, Dio must defeat Acrich as quickly as possible in order to accumulate achievements. Because that is a way to quickly increase power. The Eastern Allied Forces formed to subdue Acrich. Although he was a dependable ally for Dio, who was alone, there was a certain group of people that Dio considered most reliable. That happened a week before the departure ceremony. Calliope returned to Bertio, and he was able to enter Temberg with her invitation to Walpurgis Night. Another seven stars we met there. Dio was able to receive a promise of cooperation from the Seven Stars regarding the various plans Dio had planned for this time¡¯s subjugation of Acrich. Of course, Dio has no intention of making it easy for people to see the Seven Stars who promised cooperation. The card called Seven Stars is a powerful fanny that Dio can have. * * * ¡°Phew¡­ I think the troops we have gathered so far are the best.¡± After greeting the nobles, Dio sighed and looked around. The people gathered here at Yeongju Castle are leaders who led soldiers from each territory. Of course, there were many people who were not of noble status, but their social status could never be ignored. ¡°With this number, subduing Acrich will be no problem, right?¡± ¡°Did you see it outside? ¡°There are so many soldiers!¡± Sepia and Evelyn approached Dio, who was resting, and spoke to him. ¡°Don¡¯t be too complacent. ¡°Just because you have a lot of numbers doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re strong.¡± ¡°Well, I don¡¯t know if I can lead it properly. It looks like quite a few high-ranking people have gathered¡­¡± Sepia nodded and agreed to Dio¡¯s words. Sepia was right, but Dio had something more important to consider. That is the purpose of those gathered now. Although they were willing to participate in the subjugation under the justification of protecting the eastern part of the country, there were also those whose intentions were not like that. ¡®There are quite a few people who are not Eastern nobles. ¡®These people are not simply interested in subduing the Demon Lord.¡¯ Those gathered here can be classified into three categories. The first are those who want to make a contribution. This subjugation had the legitimate purpose of eradicating evil, and the rewards for this were considerable. If the subjugation is successfully completed, great achievements can be made to protect the continent. Especially ambitious noblemen who want to advance to the center. They wanted to make a merit this time and gain the attention of the imperial family. Maybe that¡¯s why the only people in this group were amateurs who seemed to have no actual combat experience. And secondly, a huge guild organization led by the merchant guild. Their purpose was to covet by-products and hidden treasures that only exist in the Demonic Land. In short, they are people whose goal is money. It is said that the eastern part of the country formed an allied force and planned to subdue the eastern demonic forces, so they could not miss this opportunity. In addition, numerous mercenaries tied to the guild also came from all directions, probably because they thought they would be safe with the army. Among them, there was a man recently called the King of Mercenaries, and the strength of the mercenaries was by no means inferior to that of the nobles¡¯ army. And finally, there are those who fight only for honor and justice without expecting anything in return. They were wary of the Demon King threatening the continent and did not hesitate to risk their lives to protect the East and humanity. As a modern man, Dio could not understand the act of risking one¡¯s life without compensation. Among the people here, there were many faces Dio knew. The reason is that they often appear as important NPCs that lead the main story of the order board. People who value honor and justice usually do not hesitate to act for the greater good. Therefore, they had the greatest influence on the friendship reward that Dio gained through the hidden quest of defeating Lennon. Of course, this does not mean that they have a good character or are just. Rather, they were more like crazy people with every screw missing. ¡°Hey merchant man. ¡°Is that all the alcohol you have?¡± ¡°This was enough. ¡°What more do you want?¡± ¡°Tsk, strong alcohol is essential in battle.¡± If it¡¯s a battle, you can see the Northerners, who can¡¯t use their arms and legs, press the merchant. Northerners who liked fighting were willing to join in the subjugation of the Demon Lord, but they grumbled that they were not satisfied with the preparations for the subjugation. In the first place, they do not prefer to move on such a large scale, so there is no way there will be no complaints. Moreover, the most important supply for northerners was not food and herbs, but a bottle of alcohol. ¡°It¡¯s not enough to take care of all the mouths gathered here.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a drunkard like you, so I guess it won¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°Hahaha! is it?¡± It is common sense to argue over supply issues. Rather, the biggest problem lay elsewhere. For example¡­. ¡°It¡¯s cruel. ¡°I know who this person is!¡± He was the 3rd prince of the empire who participated in the subjugation to the extremely dangerous Demon World. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°¡­.¡± Five swords that did not show the slightest signs of being intimidated even in front of the royal family. * * * ¡°Hahaha, it¡¯s been a while, kid. ¡°But is the old man who was with you at that time not here?¡± Dio¡¯s heart seemed to stop for a moment as he saw Galletto extending his hand warmly towards him. Dio had also expected that the Luna Church would send troops for this subjugation. After all, they are a force that has an obligation to protect the continent. Moreover, the Luna Church would be very interested in Dio¡¯s whereabouts. He participated in this subjugation in order to monitor how many forces follow the sun god and others. It is not a good thing for Dio that the members only have five swords, but this was also assumed. However, Dio¡¯s mind became complicated when he realized that there were as many as three people with five swords, and one of them was Galeto, who he thought was dead. ¡®I definitely gained experience. That must mean death.¡¯ The system clearly determined Galletto¡¯s death. Having such a Galletto in front of Dio means only one thing. ¡®Kaleina gave me a holy relic.¡¯ Among Luna¡¯s holy relics, there was a ridiculous fraudulent item with a special effect called ¡®resurrection¡¯. It is an item that only Kaleina had and was not in Dio¡¯s warehouse. If we use this, the revival of Galleto is not an incomprehensible situation. Dio struggled to stay calm and shook Galetto¡¯s hand. ¡°Are you here to catch me?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± At Galletto¡¯s meaningful laugh, Dio looked at the other five swords next to him. ¡°Don¡¯t be so guarded. ¡°For now, we are just doing our best to defeat Acrich.¡± ¡®Do you believe that? ¡®There is no way.¡¯ Aldur Filgrey laughs like a tired old man. He said that he would participate in this subjugation on behalf of the magic tower as the lord of the magic tower rather than from the position of the Luna Church. I thought he was injured after colliding with Calliope, but he looks fine. Well, since there are healing masters within the Luna Church, you will be able to recover quickly without taking elixir like Calliope. ¡°I have a lot to talk about with you. ¡°A holy sword or something.¡± ¡°Can I show you now?¡± ¡°No, there¡¯s no need for that.¡± Aldur shook his head at Dio¡¯s words. As expected, he is not an easy person. The five swords probably don¡¯t care whether the holy sword is real or fake. ¡®Their ultimate goal is probably to kill me.¡¯ Dio turned his head towards the last five swords. Elfinelud, one of the five swords like Aldur and Galeto. She is not human. Pointed ears and a beauty that goes beyond human boundaries. Dazzling blonde hair and emerald-like eyes. She was a high elf known to be noble among elves. For some reason, Elaine found herself in a controversial situation. And that¡¯s not just ordinary people, but members of the royal family, who can be said to be the most noble class on the continent. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 135 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 135Episode 135: There is no one who does not know about the five swords of the Luna Church. Who would dare to argue with them? If there were such a being, there would only be one. The royal family can be called the most noble class on the continent. ¡°Inspiration. ¡°It looks like Elaine got into trouble again.¡± ¡°Cluck¡­¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll see you later. ¡°I think we should go see the group.¡± Aldur and Galletto headed towards Elain, and Dio watched them closely. The situation did not escalate too seriously. High elf Elain, a different race from humans. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was because the prince understood Elaine and ignored her. ¡°Enough, Sir Colin. ¡°I think it was me who hit it first.¡± The Empire¡¯s 3rd Prince, Prian Freud, smiled kindly at the escorting knight as if enough was enough. The 3rd prince, Prian Freud, is considered to have the greatest military ability among the princes. The authority felt from him was in no way inferior to the strength of the five swords. ¡®I came after clearing out the bandits in the west. The timing is not right. There has been an inflection point in time.¡¯ Dio recalled a story he heard a while ago on a carriage heading to River North. An incident known to players as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Originally, the 3rd Prince would resolve the Yellow Turban Rebellion right before the start of the main story. As you unfold the story related to the 3rd prince, you can hear stories about him. This was one of the 3rd Prince¡¯s achievements that influenced the story of the Order, so Dio remembered it in detail. ¡®Well, because I kept messing with important people. If it doesn¡¯t change, it will get even weirder.¡¯ Anyway, the fact that the 3rd prince joined the punitive force was not a bad thing for Dio. Atra, a castle founded by the Luna Church, and the imperial family of the empire appear to be friendly to each other, but are politically at odds with each other. Therefore, the five swords would also not be able to move hastily in front of the prince. ¡®At least they won¡¯t attack me before the enemy like Telzia.¡¯ Dio thought about Inspector Telzia. At that time, the only force that could stop Telzia was a small group of Bertio knights. But now, numerous nobles from all over the world and even the royal family came to visit. More than half of those nobles are from the eastern region, where the Luna Church¡¯s power is weak. The point is that you can¡¯t avoid seeing the five swords if you don¡¯t notice them. Moreover, even because the magic tower owner Aldur is involved, they will not act like Telzia. ¡®3rd Prince Prian. His participation in this punitive expedition is an unexpected harvest for me.¡¯ Among those gathered now, Dio quickly looked at those who could be very useful helpers to him. It is natural that the 3rd prince Prian, who attended the subjugation in search of Kong, is included among them. The hereditary succession of Freud¡¯s empire prioritizes ability. The person who has contributed the most to the development of the empire, whether academically or through military force, rules the empire. This is Freud¡¯s rule. That¡¯s why Prian risked his life to participate in this expedition so as not to be pushed out in the battle for succession. ¡®The 1st prince was politics, the 2nd prince was knowledge, the 3rd prince was military, and the 4th prince was humanity.¡¯ What differentiates the 3rd prince from other princes is that he does not shy away from risk. The things the 3rd Prince did, including this expedition, are things that the Empire must take the lead in solving, but they are just as dangerous. It was impossible for a member of the royal family to take the lead and enter the battlefield, but Prian did it. The public opinion was that Prian was overwhelmingly superior to other princes in the military aspect. This was something that Dio could fully understand. ¡®I¡¯m fine. Because this expedition will allow you to demonstrate your abilities to the fullest.¡¯ Dio decided to do his best to help Prian take credit. If you use this to create a cooperative relationship with Freeon, you can easily advance to the center. If that happens, we will be able to naturally absorb the power of the nobles who are pushing Prion. ¡®This expedition is a very good opportunity for Prian. Even if I help you just a little bit, you can make a big contribution and solidify your position within the imperial family.¡¯ Dio looked at Prian¡¯s back and then looked away. It¡¯s not time yet. He is the number one target for attracting Prian to his faction, but that doesn¡¯t mean he can focus on just one third prince. Joining hands with the royal family means taking a lot of risk. Because we cannot ignore the other princes who are putting their whole heart into the fight for the successor. So Dio had to pay even more attention to seeing this expedition more broadly. It¡¯s not just about defeating Acrich, it¡¯s about attracting capable people to your side. ¡®Only then will it be able to sufficiently stand up to five swords.¡¯ Dio shifted his gaze to the place where the forces that were trying to get a large share of this expedition were gathered. ¡®Is he the only one among these?¡¯ Numerous guild leaders. Among them, a middle-aged man with an energy different from others stands out. This man, who had a well-groomed beard that extended all the way to his sideburns, did not look rough at all despite his status as a mercenary. Mercenary King Agram. Sword master and strongest mercenary. Agram was a mercenary who only sought profit and would do anything for money. Even though he says he doesn¡¯t do anything criminal, Dio knows. Agram is said to destroy even the city if a reasonable price is paid. ¡®Money is flooding me.¡¯ The field in which Dio can be confident that he is superior to the 3rd Prince and the Five Swords is ¡®financial power¡¯. I guarantee that the gold coins piled up in Malobon¡¯s warehouse alone will be more than the wealth of the 3rd Prince Prian, who is right in front of you right now. Moreover, if he visited warehouses all over the country, Dio could have established at least a small kingdom without adding any exaggeration. I smiled as I looked at Agram, who was probably the easiest person to deal with among these people. Not only Agram, but most mercenaries are driven by money, so these are the ones that Dio can immediately use with all his might. Prian gives the ball away and the mercenary king tries to appease him with money. Since there is a simple and sure way to deal with people like this, there is only the third group left for Dio to care about in the future. Those who pursue honor and justice. Northerners called barbarians and wandering knights without masters. In addition, those who participated in this expedition with their own mission had the highest affinity for Dio. Although there was an influence from the Hidden Quest, Dio, who took the initiative and formed a punitive force, was treated as a hero. Therefore, you need to be careful about your behavior in front of them. Those who will turn their backs as soon as they find out that they have another purpose. However, on the contrary, if they were to carry out the suppression of evil they wanted, they would follow Dio more than anyone else. In addition, there is no need to worry about those who are losing their minds one by one. For those with large variables, it would be better to think on the fly. -Boooooo! Dio¡¯s endless thoughts were stopped by the sound of a trumpet echoing throughout the castle. Since everyone was there, it was a signal to prepare for departure. ¡°Will they really move in unison? And I feel very uneasy that the Luna Church is with us.¡± ¡°don¡¯t worry.¡± Dio held the hand of Sepia, who was expressing anxiety next to him. It was not to reassure her, but to make sure one last time. ¡®With this, there will be no problem if the five swords change at any time.¡¯ A bracelet worn on Sepia¡¯s wrist. This was one of the items Dio took from the Marlobon warehouse. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Provision of the Sun] Grade: Legend Classification: Bracelet Level limit: 250 Physical defense: 87.5 Magic defense: 87.5 Special effect: Gives the user the [Mana Storage] ability Grants . The effectiveness of [Mana Storage] increases due to the effect of the sun. Mana Storage: Can store 125% of the user¡¯s maximum mana. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª A bracelet with the blessing of the sun obtained from Solari. Since Dio knew the value of mana storage better than anyone else, he had no doubt that this bracelet would protect his companions. ¡°Everyone ready?¡± ¡°yes. ¡°I have taken care of everything you mentioned.¡± Roberto, wearing gauntlets with a soft light flowing out, answered Dio¡¯s words on behalf of everyone. Not only Sepia, but the equipment of other party members, including Dio, were also strengthened with the blessing of the sun. Although he was only able to strengthen two skills per week, Dio has been using the skills regularly since he stopped by the Malobon warehouse. So the weapons and equipment provided to the party were much better than before. Dio nodded to his companions who had fully prepared as he said and hurriedly moved. It involves the movement of large-scale troops. And to lead them, you also need to lead everyone from the front line. However, Dio has no intention of leading it directly. Because there was someone else who was best suited for this. * * * Since it is not a single army but an allied force from various forces, it is natural that it takes a long time to prepare for deployment. Nevertheless, because the people gathered here were all unusual, they were able to quickly command the soldiers and line up the troops so that they could depart at any time. Among them, those who are at the forefront. The 3rd prince and the five swords of the Luna Church. Prian Galetto Aldur Elain. The reason these four people are at the front is because they have the qualifications to be leaders or commander-in-chiefs who can lead the assembled allied forces. ¡®But there can¡¯t be two commanders-in-chief.¡¯ Dio looked at Prian and the five swords in a standoff. Unless the commander-in-chief of the two forces is clearly determined, it is natural that everything will go wrong. To resolve this, the 3rd prince and the five swords were engaged in a battle of wits in which no one could intervene. Prion, the prince of the empire, and five swords with positions second only to the pope and saint in the Luna Church. There were reasons why both sides could not give up their position as commander-in-chief of this expedition. Freen wanted to make this expedition a complete success under his own name. That way, there is a higher chance of being appointed to the position of crown prince, surpassing other brothers. And the Luna Church¡¯s position is that the church should naturally take the lead in suppressing the Demon Lord. The reason they openly dispatched five swords to the East is to protect the faith of those who believe in Luna. ¡®Of course, the intention may be different.¡¯ Dio thought as he looked at Aldur, who was making a meaningful expression among the five swords. In any case, the Luna Church decided that it would be advantageous for them to lead the army themselves in order to achieve their goals. That way, troops can be freely divided and they can act secretly. It is not a good thing for such friction to continue for a long time in the formed coalition. Since each person had their own clear reasons, the people gathered here also had different ideas about who was suitable to be the commander-in-chief according to their own standards and thoughts. This is the best reason for internal division. Therefore, it was necessary for Dio to step forward before the fight between the two powerful people spread to others. If we don¡¯t stop it now, the reason for forming the alliance will fade. ¡®It starts now.¡¯ D.O.¡¯s position is clear. The reason this incident was made so big in the first place was to avoid interference from the Luna Church. However, the Luna Church taking the lead in the Allied Forces is a situation that he would like to avoid as much as possible. Dio looked at the mercenary king Agram, who was watching the confrontation between Prion and the five swords with a sad expression next to him. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 136 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 136Episode 136 ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot of rumors. It¡¯s an honor to be with you.¡± Agram looked at Dio who was talking to him. When Dio, who had already exchanged greetings at the Lord¡¯s Castle immediately after the convocation, offered to shake hands again, Agram happily took his hand. ¡°Will I do as much as you? ¡°The person leading the subjugation of the Demon Lord is a mercenary.¡± ¡°The Duke Bertio¡¯s help was great.¡± ¡°Well, half of them came here after hearing Bertio¡¯s name.¡± Agram, who already knew everything about the East in detail through the guild, nodded. Agram¡¯s sole purpose was ¡®wealth¡¯. No matter who was in command, Agram had the intention to make his own decisions and move based on practicality. Because he has the strength and ability to do so. Perhaps that¡¯s why, for Agram, the war of nerves between the Luna Church and the prince was a good thing. He was actually more interested in the conversation with Dio. ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s been a while since I visited Demon Lord. ¡°There are a lot of valuable items, but it¡¯s so dangerous that I usually don¡¯t go there.¡± It is known that one can gain a lot of wealth by obtaining the by-products of the demonic beasts or the treasures of the historical sites located there. Nevertheless, the demonic beasts of the Demon World were stronger on a different level, so the mercenaries did not approach this place carelessly. It was the same with the mercenary king Agram. Agram, who was smoking a cigarette, tapped Dio on the shoulder. ¡°Thanks to you, I will be able to secure my share of the magic world for the first time in a long time. ¡°The share will be smaller as the number increases.¡± Agram said with some regret. However, upon hearing Agram¡¯s words, Dio¡¯s eyes lit up and he spoke quickly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. ¡°There are greater things in the eastern demonic world than Agram could have imagined.¡± Dio deliberately raised his voice and spoke exaggeratedly. They hoped that someone would overhear their story. ¡°Are there hidden treasures that we don¡¯t know about?¡± As expected, voices that did not belong to Dio and Agram were quickly heard. The owner of the voice was Prian, who had fought with five swords just a moment ago. ¡®Making merit doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re not interested in treasure. Rather, the greater the reward you bring to the empire, the greater your merit.¡¯ Dio laughed inwardly as he looked at Prian who had taken the bait. To be precise, he was laughing while looking at the five swords that were baited with Prian. The target that Dio was trying to lure out was the five swords from the beginning. They, too, became curious as Prian, who had been confronting each other just moments before, turned his attention to Dio. ¡°Acrich is the one who dreamed of resurrecting the Demon King for a thousand years. ¡°If you think about the magic stones he collected, it would be so huge that it could form a mine.¡± ¡°How can you believe that?¡± ¡°I am an advance guard and great warrior walking the path of the sun. ¡°I know because I received Solari¡¯s revelation.¡± Prian just laughed quietly at Dio¡¯s sincere answer. Instead, Elaine, who was also listening to the story, suddenly joined in, passing the others. ¡°You blasphemous one. ¡°You¡¯re making a mistake.¡± ¡°A mistake?¡± In response to Elaine¡¯s words, Dio asked her back with an expression that showed he knew nothing. ¡°The sun is incredible. It may be bright on the outside, but it is dark on the inside.¡± High elf Elaine looked at Dio with disgust. ¡°God, who knows the truth, gives it only to the wise. Do you think the false god you believe in knows the truth? ¡°Do you really think you are the wisest among us?¡± Elaine¡¯s breathing becomes heavier as she appears to be sensitive about the sun god. From the Luna Church¡¯s perspective, it is clear that Dio is a heretic, but since there are many eyes watching, there is nothing they can do about it forcefully. Therefore, Elaine is probably resentful of the fact that she can only preach. ¡°Why don¡¯t you look at yourself before you criticize me?¡± ¡°What are you saying?¡± Elaine¡¯s feelings didn¡¯t change even in front of the 3rd prince. Despite the hostility she showed, Dio paid no heed to her and instead met her eyes directly. ¡°An elf who believes in Luna. The world tree will cry.¡± ¡°dare!¡± When the World Tree was mentioned in a human¡¯s mouth, Elaine¡¯s cold anger rang out. But Dio didn¡¯t care and continued talking. ¡°Oh or are they both believers and apostates? ¡°There are no special bats.¡± ¡°What are you talking about that you know!¡± Is it because of the prejudice that elves are gentle? Elaine¡¯s anger confused everyone around her. ¡°Haha! ¡°Calm down.¡± ¡°haha.¡± Galeto barely managed to stop Elaine, who couldn¡¯t control her anger and tried to attack her, and Aldur just looked at Dio calmly. ¡°Young man is fearless. ¡°I never thought I¡¯d mention the World Tree in front of Elaine.¡± ¡°well. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to be fearless than a religious order that meddles in the affairs of the East or a careless elf that meddles in human affairs?¡± Dio spoke in a deliberately provocative manner, and Aldur, who seemed to have sensed his intention, simply stepped back without saying a word. However, even if he does not escalate matters further, Dio has already succeeded in making Elaine angry. Why is she so angry? Even though he served the World Tree, there were special circumstances that forced him to be active in the Luna Church. ¡®Elain hates humans so much. Especially the heretics designated by Luna.¡¯ The Luna Church said that the reason the World Tree burned down was the work of corrupt humans, and promised to the elves that they would punish all heretics to take responsibility for this. And Elaine believed this. The elves were already wary of humans¡¯ greed. So, Elaine decided to join the humans of the Luna Church. It was only natural that she would take the lead in judging heresy with her five swords. ¡®Sending Elaine, who wouldn¡¯t be happy to cooperate with humans¡­ no Kaleina. Luna seems to be in a hurry too.¡¯ Elaine can be easily provoked by simply mentioning the seizure keyword ¡®World Tree¡¯. If he could easily provoke her like that, the other five swords would also have a hard time managing her. Dio aimed for this. However, as if the Luna Church was anticipating this, the assigned colleagues were people who could get along well with Elaine. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡®Scarlett and the others didn¡¯t have a good relationship with Elain¡­ In any case, internal division won¡¯t be easy because of Aldur.¡¯ Galletto, who has the image of a fighting maniac, also seems to have a mission of his own in this matter. If I hadn¡¯t done that, I wouldn¡¯t have stopped Elaine from starting a fight right away. ¡°The atmosphere has become a mess because of someone without notice. ¡°How much did we talk about?¡± Dio turned off his attention with the Luna Church and turned his attention back to Agram and the 3rd prince. Ates, who had been with him before, opened his mouth as Dio muttered to himself. ¡°Even the treasure that Acrich would have.¡± ¡°It did. ¡°But what do you do?¡± ¡°I¡¯m recording it.¡± Ates smiled at Dio and showed him the high-quality parchment on which he had been writing. ¡°I guess the secretaries of the merchant guild will take care of this?¡± ¡°There may be things they haven¡¯t seen or heard. like now.¡± Ates grinned at the words of Agram, who was listening next to him. Ates was at the forefront, not as a member of Dio¡¯s party, but as a member of the Duke Bertio¡¯s family. There are many reasons why Dalimus is currently missing this expedition. Bertio¡¯s reputation has been damaged due to his responsibility to Lennon. Dalimus needed to remain in the family to correct the faltering family. Dalimus chose to send Ates on his behalf. If Dalimus had participated in this subjugation, he would also be qualified as commander-in-chief like the 3rd prince and the five swords. However, Artes, the representative of Vertio, was not even mentioned because he was lacking in many ways compared to Dalimus. However, Artes¡¯ background as Bertio cannot be ignored even though it was flawed by Lennon. ¡°I heard that Bertio¡¯s next head of the family has been confirmed as his second son?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t we have to look good for this subjugation?¡± ¡°Well, the eldest son is completely finished.¡± ¡°And since this expedition also started from Bertio¡­¡± As can be seen from the people talking and pointing at Ates, the influence of Bertio¡¯s signboard was leading this event. Moreover, Lennon completely fell because of this incident, and Artes officially became the next head of the family. It is not unusual for Bertio¡¯s representative to be among the front line members, including the 3rd Prince and the Five Swords. ¡®Is this the responsibility of the head of the household? Well, since Lennon is finished, it would be natural for Artes to take over the family.¡¯ Dio realized Dalimus¡¯ intention to send Ates into the battlefield with him. Before informing Ates, who is confirmed to be the next head of the family, about the family¡¯s legend about the sun god, he is sent to a harsh battlefield. This may have been the final test that Dalimus gave to Ates. Dalimus¡¯ test to prove his worth in this expedition. Ates had to do his best during this expedition to revive the honor of the family that would become his after becoming the next head of the family. And Artes seemed to know this well. ¡°Even though I¡¯m not as strong as the captain, I¡¯m confident in recording. ¡°I¡¯ve done it before.¡± The reason Artes raised his hand to the quill now was simple. At the time when he ran away from home, Ates recorded his life like a minstrel. And this habit of his has continued to this day. What is happening in the East in the future and what outcome will be reached¡­ Ates, the next head of the family of Bertio, needs to clearly know this. ¡°So¡­¡± Artes stopped moving his pen and raised his head. ¡°What do you plan to do now? ¡°You¡¯re not going to stand like this all day, are you?¡± Ates¡¯ question was not about what treasures were hidden in the Demonic Sutra. Question about the Allied forces¡¯ schedule. This is something that the representatives of the Allied Forces must decide. For that reason, the Third Prince and the Luna Church were fighting. Even though he clearly saw this, Artes did not ask them. In his mind, the only commander in chief of the Allied Forces was Dio. ¡°Hmm hmm.¡± In response to Ates¡¯ question, Dio cleared his throat slightly and glanced at his surroundings. These are words spoken by none other than Bertio¡¯s next matriarch. Because he had enough power to speak, he could feel the gaze of five swords, including the 3rd Prince. Of course, one of them was glaring at Dio as if he were going to kill him. ¡®Good job. ¡®Athes.¡¯ It wasn¡¯t particularly planned. Ates was just relying on Dio. Anyway, Dio waited for the current situation to happen. That¡¯s why I brought their interest through conversation with the mercenary king. If the battle between the two forces in the leading ranks here is not decided, it will be very troublesome. So Dio took the initiative. It is about the commanding authority that can be called commander-in-chief. This is what Dio qualified for when asked by Ates, who is the next head of the family of Bertio. Accordingly, the 3rd prince and the five swords also waited for Dio to speak. ¡°Why are you asking me that?¡± ¡°yes? ¡°Then who do you ask?¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± Dio laughed inwardly at Ates¡¯ expression of ¡°I really don¡¯t know,¡± and naturally ignored his question. This is to the 3rd prince, Prian. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we ask the prince who will lead us?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 137 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 137Episode 137 ¡°Prince Prian, please explain your future plans.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Prian looked blankly at Dio, who was waiting for his answer. He looked like he was asking himself why he was asking that. But soon he returned to his polite expression. This is because I realized Dio¡¯s intentions too late. Now, there is only one reason why Dio followed up Ates¡¯ question and asked it back to Prian. As the person to whom Bertio has delegated responsibility, this probably means that he will recognize himself as the general manager of this expedition. Of course, the intention was appreciated, but Prian hesitated for a moment because he could not think about what would happen next. They simply had the mindset to win the Luna Church¡¯s battle of wits, but did not think deeply about their specific plans. No matter how excellent his military ability was, Prion did not know in detail where the allied forces should be directed because it was his first time subjugating the Demon Lord. ¡°First of all, I heard that an evil being called Deathrugger is hastening the resurrection of the Demon King¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same revelation I received.¡± ¡°Oh, of course I heard your speech. But the story I heard was recorded in an ancient imperial document.¡± Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Prian mentioned the ancient documents of the imperial family that he knew. ¡°An Acrich named Deathrugger. ¡°He will become our main enemy.¡± ¡°Was there information about Acrich also written in the ancient documents?¡± ¡°No, all I know is Acrich¡¯s name.¡± Prian shook his head in response to Dio¡¯s question. In fact, it was an imperial library that was said to have recorded a thousand years of history, but it was unknown what kind of magic Acrich used. However, the only brief record was that it was so strong and fearsome that it could not even be compared to other lichs. However, it doesn¡¯t matter if there is no information about Acrich. Dio, who knew more about him than anyone else, was with the punitive force. However, Prian did not expect Dio to know such information. He began to share his carefully thought-out plan with everyone. ¡°The magic area is very wide. I think our priority is to search for Acrich¡¯s location. And then¡­¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± While everyone was concentrating on Prian¡¯s words, the sound of clicking one¡¯s tongue cut off his words. How dare he act so arrogantly in response to the prince¡¯s words? Of course, it was a sound that came from the mouth of a high elf. ¡°You seem to be dissatisfied with something.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t even expect records left by ignorant people.¡± Elaine shook off Aldur¡¯s attempts to dissuade her and began spouting harsh words. ¡°Who didn¡¯t know how wide the demon world was? All I know is the name. ¡°Can we believe this and move forward?¡± On the outside, he looked very young, but that was only his appearance. The sight of Elaine, a high elf who had lived for over a thousand years, interrogating Frian was not that unusual. But anyway, Prian had to lead the alliance, and Dio had to deal with Elaine who would not acknowledge it. ¡°So what are your plans?¡± ¡°what?¡± When Dio answered on Prian¡¯s behalf, Elaine turned to him again with raised eyes. ¡°Hehe. What are you finding so difficult? ¡°Wouldn¡¯t this be solved if all the demonic beasts that exist in the demon world are dealt with?¡± ¡°¡­Everything?¡± Everyone was dumbfounded by Elaine¡¯s remarks as if it was such a simple matter. Although the size of the expedition was large, it was absurd to deal with the entire Demonic Realm. ¡®But with these people, it¡¯s not impossible.¡¯ Dio recalled the power of the five swords that he remembered as a player. But that happened a little more time later. Even if it was possible, it would be extremely inefficient and, at the moment, absurd. Considering that the empire¡¯s regular army had not yet been able to subdue the Demon Lord, they would not have made such a foolish suggestion. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. ¡°Pretend you didn¡¯t hear me.¡± Aldur, who was hearing this, apologized on Elaine¡¯s behalf and quickly sent a look to Galetto to stop her. ¡°Hehe, please be quiet.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t touch my body.¡± When Galetto pulled Elaine¡¯s collar, Elaine actually got angry. It seems like he doesn¡¯t understand or has any intention of understanding what he did wrong. ¡°Prince Prian. ¡°Do you mind if I express a weak opinion?¡± Dio quickly opened his mouth while the five swords were fighting among themselves. ¡°Do you have any good ideas?¡± Prion ignored Dio¡¯s words as if he had been waiting. * * * It¡¯s been about a year since I fell into the world of the order board. In the meantime, a lot has happened and many events have changed. When I first lived in Evra Village as a warehouse character, it was before the starting point of the scenario. It can be seen as the concept of a tutorial. Likewise, when Sepia was trapped in the warlock¡¯s lair, also before the story of The Order began. That time period was when the 3rd Prince Prian was conquering the ¡®Yellow Turban Rebellion¡¯ in the western region. When entering a full-fledged scenario, the player passes time by years. It¡¯s a game, so it¡¯s natural. But now I am in a position to live reality day by day. Dalimus died suddenly and Lennon took over at least a year to reach the conclusion that he would have taken over as head of the family. So, I thought that what was happening now was a year before the time in the world of the Order version I was playing. But now there is no need to worry about such complicated timelines. Because after living in reality on the order board, time began to accelerate. It was as if the scenario was progressing according to me. ¡®The scenario I experienced is being brought forward. Was it an influence on the things I did? Or¡­¡¯ Or maybe the timeline was messed up because of myself, an uninvited guest. Let me list the turning points of events that I clearly remember. It is said that the 3rd Prince Prian completely put an end to the bandit rebellion and brought peace to the West. Some northern cities, which would have been fine until the latter part of the game, were destroyed. Including Estellum, which was Schuwald¡¯s base. Lastly, things related to the devil in the eastern region. I found out something by asking the nobles of the East whether the demonic beasts were running rampant as I knew. That means the Demon King¡¯s resurrection is progressing much faster than planned. Normally, problems in the eastern part would become a big issue only after the player had grown sufficiently. But after listening to the story and seeing that it was happening to that level now, I was convinced. The events set on the order board are not based on a ¡®scenario¡¯ but happen in accordance with my ¡®growth¡¯. ¡®But the events that came so quickly were not the same.¡¯ Taking Luave as an example, the pattern was different from what I knew. That¡¯s because Luav is a character from the past than the Luav I know in the game. That said, this Descruger could also be the same as Luave. ¡®Of course, I don¡¯t think the difference will be as drastic as Luave.¡¯ If you think about the years that the pentagram Descruger has lived, it is difficult to think that its strength or pattern will change with just a year or two difference. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Of course, we cannot guarantee that there are no variables at all, but the probability is very rare. ¡®There may be some variations, but it¡¯s going according to the scenario I knew. The pace is accelerating to match my own.¡¯ If so, there will be no major problems in using future information in future plans. The same goes for this expedition. ¡®If it¡¯s the Deathrugger I know¡­it¡¯s not me. ¡®You probably know about the existence of the Eastern Allied Forces.¡¯ The conditions for encountering the pentagram Deathcruger are quite difficult. First, users must stabilize the eastern region by defeating the rampaging demons under the influence of Deathrugger. Only then are you given a quest to deal with Deathcruger, the final boss of the East, through the system. Accordingly, Deathrugger notices the player¡¯s presence and, knowing that it is his turn, completes his preparations. ¡®What¡¯s different here is that I didn¡¯t deal with the demonic beasts rampaging in the east.¡¯ If you think about this, the number of Descruger¡¯s minions flocking to the demonic realm was bound to be much greater than remembered. However, the size of the troops is different on my side as well. Dozens of elite imperial knights and over a thousand elite soldiers led by the 3rd prince Prian. Hundreds of mercenaries led by Agram, the king of mercenaries. The five most powerful swords of the Luna Church. There were also over a thousand knights and soldiers brought by nobles from each region. In addition, there were mercenaries hired separately from the merchant guild and fighters who gathered here for various reasons. Just by simple calculation, the Allied forces were much stronger than Descruger. But the variable is still the five swords. They were not on my side but another enemy, so I had to prepare for this. * * * ¡°Quickly find Acrich hiding somewhere in the Demonic Land and annihilate him. ¡°This seems simple, but it is difficult.¡± ¡°okay. But there is no other way, is there? ¡°Unless you know Acrich¡¯s location¡­ you might know.¡± In his conversation with Dio, Prian recalled that he was the one receiving revelations from the sun god. If so, wouldn¡¯t you also know about Acrich¡¯s location? A thought passed through my mind. Dio looked at him and nodded, as if the prince¡¯s thoughts were correct. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Right. Then, how can we avoid unnecessary friction with the demonic beasts that exist in the vast demonic realm?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true, prince.¡± ¡°what? ¡°What does that mean?¡± Dio snapped his fingers in response to Prian¡¯s question, signaling everyone else to pay attention to what he said. ¡°Let¡¯s summarize briefly. Acrich is preparing for the resurrection of the Demon King. So what if you kill Acrich? The resurrection of the Demon King will also be able to be prevented or postponed. ¡°This is something we all know.¡± ¡°yes.¡± ¡°But Acrich is also someone who has lived for a long time. Of course you know this.¡± ¡°Right. I thought it was too easy. ¡°I should have taken into account the possibility that Acrich could be aware of our movements.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Prian blamed himself for his mistake. ¡°In that case, I might be able to play there first.¡± ¡°yes. ¡°The reason the Demonic World is dangerous is because of the presence of powerful demonic beasts, but the big problem is that when they gather together, even a decent army cannot stop them.¡± ¡°Then what should I do? The demonic beasts of the Demon World are unknown monsters. Even though it was clearly known that they were gathering under the command of Acrich, they pushed ahead with the subjugation¡­¡± The Demon Lord¡¯s map was quite widely known by mercenaries and adventurers. In addition, Prian compiled information found in the royal archives and created a map of the Demonic Classics. But that¡¯s until the halfway point of the Demonic Sutra. The area beyond the middle¡­ what is the ecology like, what kind of monsters are there, and what other dangers may lurk there. It was literally an unknown land. ¡°Do not worry.¡± Dio grinned at Prian¡¯s concern. Dio was a figure of more than a thousand hours of playtime in Demonic World alone. ¡°Because we all have preparedness plans.¡± * * * In a dull cave where no light enters. The main shrine was carved out of a cave deep underground. There were only two ominous eye lights flashing inside. An undead who has lived for a thousand years. Descruger, the so-called Magician King or Lord of Liches, spoke. ¡°Insolent bastards. ¡°I will hinder His coming.¡± A creepy voice, like scraping metal, echoes through the cave. In his previous life, Descruger was a great wizard who made a name for himself on the continent as a summoner. The fact that he succumbed to the power of the devil and coveted the power of the necromancer was a story widely known to those who were alive at the time. Deathrugger, a traitor to humanity. ¡®It¡¯s coming exactly towards this place. Did Luna¡¯s dogs find me? Surprisingly. The information would have been completely blocked.¡¯ The scarlet glow that replaced Descruger¡¯s eyes began to roll back and forth. Descruger, who had already sensed the troops approaching the demonic region, gathered all the strong demonic beasts in the east. In addition, he used his abilities to the fullest to revive rotting corpses and create new soldiers. Banshee Ghoul, War Orc, Dullahan Chimera, etc. were raised in countless numbers. There is no problem with the number of troops or the quality of the troops. However, because Luna¡¯s five swords are in the enemy camp, victory is not guaranteed. ¡®Even if we can¡¯t win, we can stop them.¡¯ What Descruger wants is to take time away. If they bring in reinforcements, it won¡¯t be a bad thing from his perspective. This means that their time will be delayed even more. ¡®Oh, Luna¡¯s dogs. ¡®I will repay you hundreds of times for the betrayal you committed a thousand years ago.¡¯ As Deathrugger¡¯s decision hardened, the Great Hall shook greatly in response. But Descruger didn¡¯t know. The person who led them to find Deathcruger was not Luna, but the Apostle of the Forgotten God, their natural enemy. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 138 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 138Episode 138: Beginning of the Eastern Demon World. People called it the cursed swamp. Prian climbed onto the dark, gray earth and felt the ominous wind of the devil. Perhaps because it is the entrance to a swamp, the entire area is gray, but the characteristic of the area is that it gradually becomes black as you enter. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡®It arrived sooner than expected.¡¯ Prian hurriedly moved following Dio¡¯s words that Descruger was preparing for this expedition. As a result, the Allied forces were able to arrive at Makyeong earlier than expected. According to Solari¡¯s revelation, time was running out, so Prion was in a hurry. The Allied forces, which had traveled from Bertio to this place in a month, have just entered the beginning of the horse race. And as if it had been waiting for this, the ground began to shake violently. Kugugugugu ¨C Thousands of ghouls crawling on the ground, raising thick dust, and skeletons crawling up from under the ground, cackling. The Banshee unit floating in the air in a blurry shape above was extremely gloomy. thud! Above all, the presence of the enormous chimeras and the headless knights, heavily armed like knights, nestled among them was on a different level from other miscellaneous creatures. Even Prian, who had fought through countless battlefields, was appalled by its immense power. ¡®There are so many that it¡¯s disgusting.¡¯ But we can¡¯t back down after coming here. Among the soldiers with whom he would live and die, Freen encountered one who was waiting for his signal. On the surface, Freen was in charge of this expedition, but he led everything. But strangely enough, this was not unfamiliar to Prian. He was the main character who stopped Luave with a small number of troops. Prian exchanged glances with Dio and nodded. I hope that this expedition will be successful as planned. * * * ¡°Hwiyu~ It¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°A monster of that size at the beginning? this is right?¡± ¡°¡­Maybe half of them will fall out?¡± ¡°What are you worried about? We are elite. ¡°If I cared about my life, I wouldn¡¯t have applied.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a waste of me.¡± Those who maintained their natural virtue even in the face of a large army of undead were none other than elite mercenaries belonging to the ¡®Blackfang Mercenaries¡¯ under the Mercenary King Agram. However, unlike them, the private soldiers of the nobles who volunteered from various places maintained their composure without letting go of tension. Of course, everyone may have been afraid deep down. However, these are all people who volunteered for their own reasons. Someone calls. Someone¡¯s reputation. Someone has justice. As if they weren¡¯t just a ragtag group of people gathered together, the battle line they created never backed down even in the face of the most vicious undead army. ¡°This sounds like fun.¡± Galetto, who was at the forefront of the front line, warmed up with his clasped palms facing forward. ¡°I will take the lead.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move too hastily. ¡°You haven¡¯t forgotten our mission, have you?¡± Aldur whispered behind Galletto, who was ready to run out at any time. ¡°Hey old man. Isn¡¯t it our job to clean up the demon beasts? ¡°It seems like Elaine knows that too.¡± Galletto pointed to Elaine, who, like him, was preparing for battle. Elaine was quietly mumbling as she looked at the battlefield. ¡°There are three types of entities you need to watch out for¡­ It will be difficult to stop them without loss.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Aldur looked around at his companions and gathered mana as if he had no choice. There was a mission given by the saint, but as Galeto said, the five sword people had a duty to protect them from demonic beasts. If irreparable problems arise from conserving strength here, people will definitely blame the Luna Church. Even though he had five swords with him, he couldn¡¯t protect the people. -Crrrrrrrrr! Hey! -Kaooooo! -Life¡­ annihilation¡­ The flock of demonic beasts began to line up their camp. This probably means that there is someone who commands them. And the Eastern Allied Forces that fought against it also did not sit still. Buu-buu- Two short trumpet sounds. This was a signal to wait before rushing in, and Galletto¡¯s expression was wrinkled when he recognized this. ¡°What, wasn¡¯t it an attack from our side?¡± Galletto expressed his dissatisfaction, but soon stepped forward as if it didn¡¯t matter. Rather, he was looking forward to taking the lead and fighting alone. The military is only a hindrance to him. A bloody fight risking life and death in the middle of enemy territory was something Galetto wanted. Now that the Luna Church had not taken command, Galletto had no intention of listening to the prince¡¯s orders. ¡°Wait. ¡°There is still time for you to act.¡± But did they know in advance about Galletto¡¯s unexpected behavior? A man who blocks Galletto¡¯s path by riding a huge black horse with his riders. It was the 3rd prince, Prian. ¡°I didn¡¯t know if your precious prince would have time to care about us. ¡°It must be very busy.¡± Although Galletto disapproved of Prian, he spoke to him politely. Before this expedition departed, the Five-Handed Sword Prian was acknowledged as the general commander of all forces. That¡¯s why Galleto is incomprehensible. Why would Freean want to control them when they should be concerned about the first battle that is about to take place? As if under surveillance. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I delegated this command to someone else. ¡°By my command, of course.¡± Prian said, pointing somewhere, and Galletto was soon able to recognize the person to whom the prince had personally handed over command. * * * ¡°atmosphere! Spearmen and shield soldiers go forward! Cross each other and build a barrier!¡± Dio shouted, keeping his eyes on the numerous legions of demonic beasts gathered at the entrance. Accordingly, the flag bearers holding the imperial flag crossed the ranks and conveyed Dio¡¯s signal to everyone. Dio temporarily took over command in preparation for the decisive battle with Deathrugger that was to take place from the beginning. Of course, to suit the tastes of the prince who needed to make a big contribution this time, Dio was given the cloak worn by imperial commanders by Prian. This meant acting as a direct subordinate of 3rd Prince Prion, a member of the Empire, rather than a member of Bertio. ¡®After all, it¡¯s the imperial army. The chain of command is clear.¡¯ There are quite a few situations in the Order Board where you have to command a large army. Thanks to this, Dio, who clearly remembered the empire¡¯s command system, was able to skillfully move his troops. However, the Eastern Allied Forces gathered now are not comprised entirely of imperial troops. It would be difficult for the nobles¡¯ private soldiers or mercenaries who were not accustomed to such large-scale military operations to unite with the imperial army¡­ but Dio, who was also clearly aware of this problem, sent them separately to the rear. Among them, measures were taken to ensure that especially strong elites could be commanded separately through Agram. This was thanks to the command handed over in Prian¡¯s name. But the five swords are different. These were beings who would not be pleased with Dio giving orders, so Dio asked Prian to do it. -Please personally watch over them to prevent them from acting unexpectedly. No matter how young they were, they wouldn¡¯t be able to act hastily if the prince was in front of them. Kugugugugu- The ground rang loudly as the demonic beast army that Descruger was commanding began to move slowly, seemingly in perfect formation. ¡°Keep waiting! The front line is ten steps forward! ¡°Everyone else just wait!¡± At Dio¡¯s command, the Allied Forces quickly created a long wall. The front row is shield soldiers, and behind them are spear soldiers. The maneuver was abandoned from the beginning. Dio knew that the number of opponents was much greater and that Deathrugger¡¯s demonic beast army was confident in its ability to break through. However, in the current situation where there is a difference in numbers, it is a formation that may be disadvantageous. Nevertheless, Dio still waited for the right time, and the soldiers, who had been entrusted with the prince, remained in their positions without saying anything. Kugugugugu ¨C As time passes, the army of demonic beasts that were like dark clouds begins to grow larger. When the distance between them was about 100 meters, the waiting soldiers became agitated. Can I really just stay like this? And that¡¯s it. Dio¡¯s voice, unaware of the soldiers¡¯ feelings, rang out again. ¡°atmosphere! Hold the line!¡± ¡°That idiot! ¡°What on earth are you doing?¡± The soldiers listened to Dio surprisingly well. However, ironically, among the leadership, not among the soldiers, there appeared someone who went against the commander¡¯s orders. ¡°Elain!¡± Aldur called out to Elaine, who ran forward without any time to stop him. He tried to grab Elaine with a hasty binding spell, but she escaped even that and rushed forward. Elaine has no confidence in Dio¡¯s commanding ability. Moreover, as an elf, she couldn¡¯t understand Dio¡¯s tactics at all. The front line created by the numerically inferior Allied Forces was in a formation that seemed to accept that powerful Demonic Beast Corps head on. It would be okay if the strong players were concentrated in the center, but if other areas collapsed, the Allied forces could be immediately surrounded. So Elaine decided to do what she could. Whether humans die or not is of no concern to Elaine. However, in order to reach Acrich, the ostensible goal of this expedition, the loss of troops had to be reduced to a minimum. Anyway, the Demon King is also the elves¡¯ archenemy. Liquid ¨C Elaine pulled out the bow she was carrying on her back and drew it. Clearly, there were no arrows hit by the demonstration. However, a magic arrow with a brilliant blue light was fired in accordance with Elaine¡¯s direction. Bababababaak! Elaine¡¯s arrows are fired right in front of the advancing demon beast army. It wasn¡¯t a mistake. Elaine purposely blocked the way for the large army of demonic beasts to enter. I wonder if she can stop them with just a few arrows, but she has five swords. Hwaaaaaaa! Elaine¡¯s magic arrows, which were lined up in a row, began to change in an instant. Quad deud deuk-! The magic arrow imbued with Elaine¡¯s power turned into a huge tree root, which soared through the ominous gray earth of the Demon World. ¡°Wow! ¡°Is it huge?¡± ¡°Is this the power of the Luna Church?¡± The soldiers each let out an exclamation as the vines created by Elaine stopped the advance of the magical beast army for a moment. Even when I saw it with my own eyes, it was hard to believe that one person could have this much power. But unlike the soldiers, there was someone who clicked his tongue. ¡®Tsk, you went out on your own.¡¯ But it doesn¡¯t matter. It was within Dio¡¯s expectations that Elaine and the other five swords would act as they pleased. Immediately after giving the order to prepare for the charge to the riders waiting for his command, Dio hurriedly motioned to Sepia. ¡°sepia. ¡°Are you ready?¡± ¡°yes.¡± ¡°Based on the vine that Elaine created. ¡°We will be able to block it to a wider range than originally planned.¡± ¡°Leave it to me.¡± Turn variables into opportunities. Dio purposely tied the feet of the five swords using Prion to prevent them from running wild. Because they didn¡¯t want to lose to them the experience that they should have monopolized. However, Elaine ignored Prian¡¯s orders and moved as she pleased. In that case, there is only one thing Dio needs to do. Using Elaine¡¯s power, the demon beast army is quickly disposed of. That was before the five swords came forward in earnest. Woe! The dazzling light emitted by sepia spread widely. The light covering the vines created by Elaine was literally instantaneous. Before the Allies could fully understand what was happening, a pillar of light rose up. No, I just felt like I was rising. A dazzling pillar of light fell from the sky just like when it sealed Lennon away. Jiiiing ¨C Kwaaaa ¨C Dozens of pillars of light settled between the vines. It was as powerful as a waterfall, and the ground it touched created a strong wind. In addition, the raindrops connecting between the pillars were reminiscent of barbed wire. -Keeeeee! -Crrrrrrrrr! If Elaine¡¯s magic merely blocked the advance of the demonic beast army, Sepia¡¯s divine power burned the nearby demonic beasts and undead. As soon as that happened, the formation of the magic beast army, which seemed to only look forward and move forward, collapsed in an instant. It¡¯s a sacred power that makes that fearsome demon feel fear! This is truly¡­. ¡°She is a saint! The sun protects us!¡± While people were watching the pillar of light with fascination, someone shouted among the crowd. It was Roberto¡¯s shout mixed in with the soldiers. He was faithfully carrying out his role as wind catcher according to Dio¡¯s orders. To inform the Allied Forces. A message to those who doubt the existence of the sun. As if to tell you not to worry because the saint who guides you to the path of the sun is with you. ¡°Oooh!¡± ¡°The demon beasts are afraid!¡± ¡°Solari is with us!¡± Starting with Roberto, the soldiers chanted praise for Solarie and the saint. The reason the demonic beast appears to shrink from divine power is not simply due to its mood. In reality, the demon beasts and undead were unable to approach the sepia pillar of light and took a step back. The soldiers¡¯ momentum soared high enough to pierce the sky, and as if responding, Dio once again sent a signal to the riders. Buuuu¡ª The sound of the trumpet announcing the advance echoes throughout the demonic landscape. Perhaps this may be humanity¡¯s first declaration of war against the devil. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 139 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 139Episode 139 : Sepia, who changed her job to become a Saint of the Sun. Dio was in a lot of trouble when Sepia received the saint¡¯s power from Calliope and learned the skill. Although Sepia received training from Calliope, she was not taught enough to handle it perfectly. There was not enough time, and more than anything, Calliope did not really know the saint¡¯s abilities. A saint of the sun who existed a thousand years ago. From what I heard, it seemed like Calliope had some kind of relationship with the saint. That¡¯s it. Even as Calliope, he does not know in-depth because he only watched from the side as the saint used her power. In that case, Sephia, who inherited the saint¡¯s memories, would have to awaken her abilities on her own¡­ Maybe it was because her level was still low, but Sephia seemed to lack an understanding of the skills she could use. So Dio and Sepia spent a considerable amount of time researching this. Dio wanted to hear everything Sepia remembered, even if it was blurry. Then, you can infer which skill it is based on similar priest-type skills that Dio knows. From the deceased¡¯s vast knowledge, Dio was able to find a skill similar to Sepia¡¯s. I thought all night long about how to combine this. Was that effort in vain? The barrier currently blocking Deathcruger¡¯s army was not simply a skill used for protection purposes. Sepia¡¯s ¡®Pillar of the Sun¡¯ is a technique specialized for trapping enemies, like when dealing with the demonized Lennon. However, if you twist this and spread the pillar of the sun wide, you can block the enemy¡¯s path in a wide area. ¡®Sephia had a hard time spreading the power. If I had to come up with a name for the skill¡­ I think it would be solar heat ray.¡¯ Although D.O. had a bad naming sense, he was confident that there was no name more suitable. The beam of light between the pillars was like an electric barbed wire. When the demonic beasts that come at you like pest exterminators reach here, they will crack! and suffer damage. It¡¯s not the end just by touching it and causing damage. Because Dio already knew through experiments that it has a passive ability that purifies demonic energy at a certain distance. Of course, if you touch it directly, the effect is doubled. -Kerrruk! -Kaooo! As a commander, Dio carefully examined the situation. The entrance to the Demonic World was not that wide. There were tall cliffs blocking the way for large-scale troops to clash. Thanks to this, Sepia¡¯s Sun Pillar was able to completely establish an army of demonic beasts, and the undead instinctively moved away from the pillar and concentrated in one place. In any case, the Allied forces could easily surround the situation. But Dio didn¡¯t do that. ¡°Do not cross the defense line! ¡°Keep an eye out for demonic beasts crossing the gap!¡± Dio shouted as he pulled his horse¡¯s head across the battlefield. Accordingly, the soldiers created a formation solely for defense, with the barrier made by Sepia at the forefront. They didn¡¯t know why Dio still insisted on defense, but they could immediately understand the unusual movements of the demonic beast army. -Crack! Crack! -Cow! Demonic beasts controlled by Deathrugger. They must have been ordered to force forward, so they forcibly rushed forward even though they were burned by sepia fire and fell to the ground. Grumble! The undead were immediately destroyed by divine power, but the demonic beasts did not. Despite the pain of being burned, they somehow clung to the wall, and soon their corpses created a wall to counter Sepia¡¯s defenses. As a result, the ghouls who made up most of the vanguard began to push away the dead demon beasts. Because there were so many, the beams of light between the pillars of light began to stretch, and the ghouls who were looking for a gap began to force their way out. The ghouls who first broke through the barrier were also engulfed in fire, but as the fire accumulated, the demonic beasts and undead that came after them were able to completely cross the wall. ¡°They concentrate in one place! Redeploy troops!¡± ¡°Relocate!¡± Dio has already prepared a formation for this. Legions of demonic beasts trying to break through the barrier even at the cost of their lives. They had to use many corpses, so they crowded into the cracks in the barrier, but what was waiting for them was the sharp spears of the Allied forces. Puff puff poop! Phalanx is a phalanx tactic that is also useful in the order board. Of course, in a battle with wizards, it cannot use its full power, so there are many situations to consider, but it is different when dealing with magical beasts. In addition, there is no need to worry about demonic beasts that can attack from a distance due to Sepia¡¯s barrier, so it can be seen as an appropriate tactic for now. ¡°die!¡± ¡°We take care of the big guys!¡± Most of the demonic beasts and undead fell due to the attacks of the skillful soldiers, but there were also beings that withstood their attacks. High-ranking undead like Dullahan were like that. ¡°Stand back!¡± In preparation for this, knights and mercenaries of Class A or higher jumped beyond the shield soldiers and attacked the Dullahan. Let¡¯s go! Pubububung! Dullahan collapses helplessly. Even if high-ranking undead come over like this, their number is small. Therefore, it was easy to deal with attacks by elite soldiers. However, the number of the Demonic Beast Corps was still enormous, and the pillar of light created by Sepia slowly tilted as they advanced, risking their lives. If the blockade made of light pillars collapsed, damage to the Allied Forces from the waves of demonic beasts seemed inevitable. ¡°They are sneaking in through the cracks!¡± ¡°The next command has not yet been issued. ¡°Stay where you are!¡± The soldiers knew that the cordon could not hold out for long, but they held on like Mount Tai. However, unlike the imperial soldiers, the mercenaries expressed anxiety over the continued passive orders. ¡°How long do you plan on waiting?¡± ¡°If this breaks through, won¡¯t we all die?¡± In the end, the mercenaries facing the giant chimera breaking through the blockade, defeating the pillar of light, were about to retreat to the rear. ¡°Everyone stop! ¡°Look at the sky!¡± Everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky as Agram shouted to calm the agitated mercenaries. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°What am I looking at?¡± ¡°The sun is going down, isn¡¯t it?¡± What came into their sight was a huge sphere. A sphere so large and dazzling that it could be mistaken for the sun was slowly falling from the sky. ¡°What is that!¡± The soldiers were intimidated by its enormous majesty, but the size of the sphere became smaller as it headed toward the ground. But people could feel it instinctively. The warm energy felt in that sphere. ¡°Are you a saint?¡± ¡°It¡¯s incredible¡­¡± The soldiers were able to calm down as the warmth of the sun calmed their agitated minds. And as if repaying their faith, the compressed and smaller sphere fell in the middle of the battlefield where the demon beast army was crowded. * * * Whoops ¨C flashing! Immediately after the small sphere touched the ground, the gray floor of the Demonic World instantly became lighter in color. Just like an ordinary plain. Just like the earth covered with nothing but dirt. The phenomenon of the wide gray floor being purified could only be described as bizarre. It doesn¡¯t end with just strange phenomena. Energy coming from the sphere. This was not just light. Sepia¡¯s wide-range purification skill ¡®Solar Jade¡¯. The moment the light of purification took over the battlefield, the brilliant light of the sun illuminated the entire demonic army without missing a single one. Then, not only did the undead slowly melt, but the demonic beasts burned as if they had been touched by a pillar of light. Of course, this was a skill that only had a powerful effect on targets with demonic energy. There was no damage to the Allied Forces that were confronting the Demon Beast Corps, and they were actually able to feel warmth in the cold battlefield of the Demon World. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa how do you look into the power of the solar jade? It has its downsides? Because the casting time itself is long and Sunlight Jade is a channeling skill that must cover the field and last, Sepia who uses magic is exposed to danger. But now is the optimal situation to completely block such risk factors. A barrier was built to stall for time, and Sepia is guarded by elite soldiers, including Dio himself. However, in order to sustain the Sun Jade, a huge amount of mana and divine power are consumed. Therefore, the time that sepia can sustain solar jade is only about 1 minute. The winner had to be decided within one minute. ¡°Eveline!¡± Slurp ¨C At Dio¡¯s signal, Evelyn, who was standing in the front line and watching the situation, raised a staff that looked like a scythe. As the light gets stronger, the shadows also get stronger. This simple principle also applies in the world of order boards. So, although the magic of Sepia and Evelyn seem to be opposites of each other, when combined, the synergy effect becomes one of the highest level linkages within the order board properties. bang! When Evelyn struck the floor with her staff, sharp thorns protruded from the dark shadow of the magic beast army created by the sun ore. ¡®Shadow Thorn¡¯, a shadow-type magic similar to the ¡®Dark Thorn¡¯ used by Luave. If Evelyn had used the skill alone, it would not have been strong enough to compete with Luave¡¯s Dark Thorn. But not now. Shadow Thorn linked with Sepia had both its range and power amplified. Additionally, the weapon she is holding is a staff-type legendary weapon obtained from Bertio¡¯s warehouse. The 100% shadow attribute enhancement option attached to the ¡®Scythe of Judgment¡¯ maximized Evelyn¡¯s magical abilities. Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! The giant chimera screamed in pain as the Shadow Thorn, created from its own shadow, headed towards its host. -Whoa whoa! Because it had a bigger shadow, the damage suffered was bound to be greater. So-called stamina proportional damage. Shadow Thorn was applied not only to the Chimera, but also to the small demonic beasts and undead around it, cutting them all down. As a result, they were literally torn to pieces. Kwagwagwagwagwang! It began to collapse around the huge beast from all directions, and Dio, who was looking at it, began to relax. ¡®Let¡¯s finish it.¡¯ Depending on how the skills are linked, large-scale battles can be easily resolved. Dio could have left the dying Demon Beast Corps to the soldiers of the Allied Forces or the five swords, but he could not. ¡®You can¡¯t miss even the last one.¡¯ Dio, who wanted to monopolize the entire army of demonic beasts in front of him, immediately put his hands on his waist. We gathered our strength through the trick of absorption. Papak! Dio¡¯s feet moved quickly, and his new form instantly moved in front of the shield soldiers who had solidly blocked the battle line. His target is a legion of demonic beasts that are distracted by the joint attack of Sepia and Evelyn. Dio¡¯s arm swung towards the battlefield where a large army of demon beasts was spread out. Bung ¨C There was clearly nothing in Dio¡¯s hands. But at one point, a brilliant blue sword made of all-purpose jade was held in his hand. emission. Ping ¨C The dazzling power of the sun shot out along with the sound made by the pressure of the air in the atmosphere. Truly supersonic. Dio¡¯s boastful swordsmanship cut the surviving demonic army in half despite Sepia and Evelyn¡¯s skills. Googoo googung! Numerous demonic beasts and undead were cut up and down in an instant, and their decomposed bodies fell to the ground. Whiiiiing ¨C With Dio¡¯s final blow, the legion of demonic beasts that filled the entrance to the Demon World were defeated, and the battlefield fell silent. ¡°¡­?¡± ¡°Are you¡­ finished?¡± However, the cheers of the Allied Forces, who soon realized they had won, spread out as if they were ringing the entire horse race. ¡°Oooh wow!¡± ¡°I won!!¡± ¡°Oh my god, three people can put an end to so many demonic beasts!¡± The shouts of the Allied Forces, who belatedly realized they had won. The first battle in Makyeong ended in complete victory with no loss of power for the Allied Forces. * * * Hooked! Squeak-! A long spear was driven into the torso of a ghoul whose life would soon end even if left alone, and the head of a writhing hell hound was cut off. Allied soldiers moving slowly among the piles of corpses. They were carrying out a task to definitively end the surviving demon beasts and undead. ¡°They look like damn undead guys.¡± ¡°The undead come back to life and are a pain in the ass, but these guys don¡¯t wake up? ¡°Is it the influence of divine power?¡± ¡°So, that¡¯s right. ¡°I was anxious because there were no priests from the Luna Church, but it worked out well.¡± ¡°Because we have a saint.¡± The Union soldiers, who had gained momentum, were easily tasked with disposing of the remnants. Dio, who was watching this, turned his head and looked at the experience point notification sound that rang incessantly. ¡®Even though we shared it, it came out quite a bit.¡¯ When the soldiers finish off the remaining remnants, they will also receive experience points, so Dio did not bother to step forward. As Dio was about to return to Prian to report the situation, someone stopped him. ¡°Hey kiddo.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio looked up at the giant who couldn¡¯t hide his excitement. What got him so excited? Dio knew without having to say it. Because he is a battle fanatic who does nothing when it comes to fighting. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Would you like to see me?¡± Galletto¡¯s eyes as he spoke to Dio seemed to want only one thing. A fighter¡¯s desire for ¡®fighting spirit¡¯. That was all. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 140 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 140Episode 140: Galleto Houndstooth stood in front of Dio and stared into his eyes without saying a word. ¡®I expected the sprouts to be yellow, but it was beyond my imagination. ¡®I never thought I¡¯d become this strong in such a short period of time.¡¯ The power Dio used in this battle was only one sum. However, the size of the power contained in that one sum was so great that it excited Galletto. Dio¡¯s firing technique, which struck from a distance, literally destroyed the army of demonic beasts that filled the entrance to the demonic realm. Of course, we had to take into account the fact that it was an attack immediately after mobilizing other magic. Just looking at this, Galletto could no longer view Dio as a child that could be ignored. Galletto recalled receiving instructions from Kaleyna in the southern diocese. -There are people who put forward a false god called the sun. Deal with him secretly. After reading the saint¡¯s instructions, Galletto willingly participated in this mission, but not because he was satisfied with the mission given by the saint. The only thing he is looking forward to is a confrontation with strong men he does not know in this Eastern Allied Force, including Acrich in the Demon World. The young one he saw in front of his eyes, which he had encountered in the Kalekh Forest, had not been of interest to Galetto from the beginning. I don¡¯t know if he will grow up later, but I never thought that Galeto would become strong enough to satisfy himself in a short period of time. But he was wrong. Dio¡¯s skills in dealing with this army of demonic beasts were real. Galletto could not hold back the fighting spirit that burned at this. There was an order from the saint to proceed with work while avoiding people¡¯s eyes as much as possible, but Galletto had no intention of keeping that order from the beginning. Because I wasn¡¯t interested in the punishment of Dio, whom I thought was a child, in the first place. But it¡¯s different now. As long as the opponent¡¯s strength burned his fighting spirit, the saint¡¯s orders were good. ¡°Would you like to see some skills?¡± A berserker who knows nothing but fighting. Is there an expression that suits him so well? The moment when Galletto raised his fist towards Dio, as if expressing with his whole body that there was no option to refuse in the first place. ¡°Hey bro.¡± Galletto turned his head when someone spoke to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. There are not many people within the Allied Forces who can stop Galletto, who is obsessed with winning. But what I¡¯m talking about with Galleto now is that he is included in that few groups. Mercenary King Agram. ¡°The commander must be tired too, so let¡¯s get on well.¡± Agram looked at Galleto and grinned. * * * Dio sighed as he looked at Agram, who seemed freer than anyone else. One of the five swordsmen who were thought to be dead. An entity that could possibly be the biggest variable in this expedition. Dio, who was thinking about how to deal with Galleto, was able to escape Galleto¡¯s attention thanks to Agram. ¡°Kkkkkk. okay. I¡¯ve heard your story a lot too. ¡°Then will you deal with me?¡± Galeto was also well aware of the mercenary king¡¯s reputation, so he faced him with his fighting spirit still burning. Although Galeto was one head taller, Agram¡¯s momentum against him was no match for Galeto. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m a little tired too. ¡°Unlike others who stayed still.¡± Contrary to his momentum as he faced Galeto on equal footing, Agram took a step back, pointing to the hem of his clothes, which were dirty with the beast¡¯s blood and dust. Galletto answered him. ¡°It doesn¡¯t look like there are any major injuries, so it doesn¡¯t matter, right?¡± ¡°What are you talking about? I¡¯m dying from pain. ¡°Do you want to have a fight with the injured person?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Agram put a cigarette in his mouth and slyly pretended to be sick, leaving Galeto speechless. ¡°What a coward. ¡°The steam has leaked.¡± Galeto¡¯s fighting spirit weakened, as if he had cooled off due to Agram¡¯s meddling. However, the flame of fighting spirit that had not yet disappeared was still looking at Dio and Agram. ¡°Let¡¯s see how long we can avoid it.¡± Galletto snorted and turned back. After confirming that Galletto had completely disappeared from sight, Agram exhaled deeply the cigarette smoke he had inhaled and approached Dio. ¡°Haha, I almost died. ¡°I heard that guy is hot-tempered, so I didn¡¯t expect him to back down so easily.¡± ¡°Thank you for your help.¡± ¡°What between us?¡± Agram, who pretended to be friendly just because he saw him some time ago, put his arm around Dio¡¯s shoulder and hugged him like a good old man. ¡°They say he¡¯s a mercenary and he has excellent commanding skills? ¡°Are you from a military background?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not without experience.¡± Dio did not specifically deny Agram¡¯s words. It was good for Dio to make wild guesses, and it was true that he served in the military for nearly two years in the original world. ¡°We¡¯ll have to camp here for a while, right? ¡°You have to take care of everything and everyone will be tired.¡± ¡°Why are you asking me that? ¡°The prince is here.¡± ¡°Haha, why are you doing this? ¡°I already know that you roasted and boiled the prince.¡± ¡°Bake and boil? ¡°It sounds like such a big deal.¡± Dio shook his head at Agram¡¯s words. Even though Agram¡¯s guess is true on the inside, he cannot show it on the outside. Anyway, as he said, it is necessary to take care of the by-products from the corpses of demonic beasts and undead. It¡¯s not about Dio, it¡¯s about the guilds and mercenaries who participated in this coalition. Because one of the things they wanted was these things. ¡°Now we have to enter barefoot, so what are the nobles going to do? ¡°Well, our prince seems to be strong.¡± Agram was an experienced person who had been to the Demonic Sutra before. So, you have no choice but to know that after the beginning, you cannot take the horses carrying the luggage. It was natural that, unlike the Allied Forces, the animals would not be able to withstand the demonic energy rising from the demonic realm. ¡°But since there are wizards, it will be okay.¡± The only way to achieve minimum supply is to make the most of the magicians¡¯ subspace. However, they cannot all take care of the supplies that will sustain the Allied Forces. With this in mind, a significant number of porters also came with us, so we didn¡¯t mind going deep. ¡°I¡¯m just saying this because it¡¯s just the two of us¡­¡± Agram opened his mouth quietly, looking around as if there was a good reason for approaching him as if he was friendly. ¡°The treasures of the Demonic World you mentioned. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°of course.¡± ¡°how is it? ¡°If you give a little more attention to our mercenary group, I think I can push you like I just did.¡± Dio chuckled at Agram¡¯s suggestion. Because I knew long ago that he would make this offer to me. Agram believed that if Dio showed trust in Prion, he could secretly take away the treasures obtained in battle and hand them over to his ¡®Black Fang¡¯. Of course, the inference was true. ¡°It will be quite a bit, do you mind?¡± ¡°We have plenty of wizards and porters.¡± When Dio responded positively, Agram¡¯s smile widened as if he had expected that to happen. Agram¡¯s suggestion was not bad for Dio, but there was a catch. Agram is called a master negotiator and enjoys playing with words. Like the Luna Church, it is an offer to provide strength when friction arises, but he did not say that he would directly intervene in the event of an armed conflict. They may pretend to be the same force on the outside, but if the situation is not good or the power is tilted, they can join the other side at any time. So Dio needed to secure Agram¡¯s negotiations. Among the forces in the current Allied Forces that Dio must lead to his side, excluding the prince and the five swords. Agram¡¯s ¡®Black Fang¡¯ mercenary group was the strongest. Instead of just making fun of words like this, I had to work hard to force Agram to take my side. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Mr. Agram. ¡°How about we make sure?¡± ¡°hmm? ¡°What do you mean?¡± When Dio lowered the arm on his shoulder and opened his mouth, Agram received his words with a puzzled expression. ¡°I¡¯ll make you an offer I can¡¯t refuse.¡± Dio knew everything about Agram¡¯s personality and tendencies in detail. As negotiations with Agram began in earnest, Dio smiled to himself. As he said, Agram will never refuse his offer. * * * Because he needed to have an in-depth conversation with Agram, Dio was a little far away from the camp where the Allied forces were preparing. After completing the negotiations neatly, Agram left first. And Dio also tried to leave at a different time, but couldn¡¯t. This is because someone aimed a cold metal object at his neck. ¡°Do you have anything to do?¡± Dio opened his mouth in a completely unfazed voice even though a dagger was pointed at his neck. ¡°There is something I want to ask you.¡± Elaine¡¯s angry voice rang in Dio¡¯s ears. ¡°Let¡¯s put this away and talk.¡± At Dio¡¯s request, Elaine actually put more strength into the hand holding the dagger. ¡®I know that the saint is aiming for my head. But that¡¯s not the reason now.¡¯ Dio realized that Elaine, who was currently visiting him, was not on mission for the church but on personal business. Otherwise, all three of the five swords would have approached. Moreover, even though he left the camp briefly to talk to Agram, the Allied Forces are right in front of him. If we attack here, it will only be a matter of time before everyone finds out. Nevertheless, Elaine approached Dio. This meant that she had something to ask him, and Elaine got straight to the point. ¡°The power you use. ¡°What on earth is that power?¡± ¡°I told you. ¡°It¡¯s the power of the sun.¡± ¡°okay. The power of that damn sun. ¡°How did you get it?¡± Dio could feel Elaine¡¯s rough breathing every time she spoke. Dio cannot know to what extent Elaine knows about the sun. But there is one thing that is clear about this. The reason Elaine was so angry. This was because he realized that the power of the sun that Dio had just shown was the power shown by someone who betrayed his people. The person who betrayed his people is none other than the person who took everything from the elves. Crassus, the one who burned the World Tree. ¡®Elain definitely wanted to kill Crassus.¡¯ Dio knows that Elaine is following Crassus. There is also a quest in the game where the player can help Elaine find the footsteps of Crassus. It is natural that Crassus is the enemy of all elves. In this situation, Elaine becomes so excited when she discovers someone with the same power as Crassus. ¡°Tell me right now! That power! ¡°Where did you get that?¡± While Dio doesn¡¯t answer and just rolls his eyes. Sigh-! A dagger flew from somewhere. It¡¯s not just that level of throwing. The strong energy in the dagger scared even Elaine. Kang! In order to block this, Elaine had no choice but to shake off Dio and forcefully strike away the flying dagger. ¡°Tch, who is disturbing me!¡± Elaine shouted. Then a man appeared, making an incomprehensible noise. ¡°Hey, you really came here, right?¡± After finishing the story, it was Agram who I thought had returned to the mercenaries. However, it looked quite different from when he blocked Galletto. His weapon that he did not draw when confronting Galleto. But now, Agram, who would not be surprised to go into battle at any time, had a long long sword in his hand. Agram pointed his sword at Elaine and opened his mouth. ¡°Hey elf sister. ¡°If that friend gets hurt, I¡¯ll be in trouble. Why don¡¯t you play with me instead?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 141 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 141Episode 141 ¡°It¡¯s not something you little bastards should interfere with.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I think I¡¯m famous too. ¡°This kind of treatment.¡± The five swords Elaine and the mercenary king Agram face off tightly. Meanwhile, Dio smiled slightly and recalled the conversation he had with Agram a while ago. * * * ¡°It¡¯s an offer I can¡¯t refuse¡­what a fun friend.¡± There are two main reasons why Agram was very interested in Dio¡¯s words. Firstly, he was not easily caught up in his own speaking style. Second, what did he believe and why did he guarantee that it was an offer he could not refuse? ¡°For your information, please know that my price is a bit high. ¡°I may say so myself, but among mercenaries, I am the best.¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡°As I said at the beginning, I am not saying that it will end with giving away the Demon Lord¡¯s treasure. If you want to use me, you need enough gold to buy a city¡­¡± Agram was about to explain the standard for the price, but Dio¡¯s open palm cut him off. ¡°Five.¡± ¡°Five? ¡°What do you mean by five?¡± ¡°In the magic world, there are not only things like magic stones but also valuable items.¡± ¡°thing?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious? Things like legendary grade artifacts.¡± ¡°Ohh.¡± Artifacts vary greatly depending on their grade. The legendary artifact that Dio mentioned is something that cannot be easily obtained even if you have a thousand gold. Of course, it is not that they did not think that there might be a legendary weapon hidden in the magic world that humanity has not yet discovered. However, unless you know if it is real or where it is, it is just like an imaginary treasure. However, Agram thought that Dio might be the only person who could obtain them all. Even aside from the fact that Dio is so confident, he is an apostle of the sun god who predicted the threat of the Demon Lord. ¡°You¡¯re giving me five?¡± ¡°no. ¡°I¡¯ll give you all but five.¡± Agram¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly at Dio¡¯s explanation. ¡°Look at this guy? How precious is a legendary grade artifact? ¡°If you take five, doesn¡¯t that mean you¡¯ll take them all?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be. I bet you can get at least ten.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­then that¡¯s a different story. ¡°What is its value?¡± ¡°Enough to buy a city.¡± Agram quickly reacted to Dio¡¯s suggestion. The goal was to calculate whether this transaction would actually benefit or incur a loss. In addition, it was not easy to judge not only the details of the transaction but also whether the other party¡¯s words could be taken literally. Of course, as a result of combining various evidences as before, I was inclined to believe that it was trustworthy. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°I want you to protect me until the end of this expedition.¡± ¡°Huh, that was it. ¡°It looks like you don¡¯t have a good relationship with the Luna Church.¡± ¡°So you¡¯re not asking Agram for a favor? ¡°If you have a mercenary group, or even you alone, you won¡¯t be able to easily fight them.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. But five is too many.¡± Agram¡¯s greedy eyes shine. This is the moment when Agram¡¯s negotiation skills, which have been negotiating with countless people, are activated. Agram looked into Dio¡¯s eyes and thought. ¡®I specified the number. He probably plans to take care of the most valuable of the artifacts.¡¯ After completing all calculations, Agram grinned and stretched out two fingers. ¡°Except for two, I keep all the rest.¡± Agram¡¯s firm determination to have more than half of the five artifacts that Dio covets. ¡°That¡¯s not possible. I absolutely need them for the cause.¡± ¡°Huh, then there¡¯s nothing we can do. ¡°I have nothing to regret.¡± Agram turned away as if he had no regrets. Indeed, his pushing and pulling skills are no joke. At that time, Dio spoke something that stopped Agram in his tracks. ¡°Ha¡­only I know the location of the treasure. ¡°If I were to have an accident, wouldn¡¯t Agram be sad too?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°You can be greedy and not get anything.¡± ¡°Is it pretty good?¡± Agram responded to Dio¡¯s words with a grin. However, Agram shook his head left and right as if he had no intention of giving in easily despite Dio¡¯s threats. It was Agram¡¯s obsession that five could never be accepted. ¡°Then, please just look at up to three. ¡°They are essential items not just for me, but for the sun that will shine in the future.¡± ¡°Three¡­¡± Agram stroked his chin and pondered Dio¡¯s renegotiation. As he said, if you are more greedy, you may miss out on what you have gained, so Agram, thinking that this was a successful negotiation, opened his arms. ¡°haha! ¡°What should I call you? My employer!¡± ¡°Please treat me like normal.¡± ¡°good. ¡°As instructed!¡± Agram put his hand on Dio¡¯s shoulder as if he was satisfied, and Dio looked regretful. But that wasn¡¯t the case inside. ¡®As planned.¡¯ Because there were only three things Dio wanted from the beginning. No, the legendary grade artifacts that can be obtained from this expedition were not very good except for the three that had to be tried in the first place. Nevertheless, since it is a legendary grade, its value is quite high, as the saying goes, even if it rots, it is worth it. Negotiations turned out easier than expected. Since Agram is a person who knows honor, the increase in favorability at that time played a role. He came from an aristocratic background and had a background related to saving money, which worked well for him. Now Agram will protect himself to receive his reward. Now that he has received a confirmation, Dio can use Agram effectively. The first is Elaine, the five-handed sword. Dio, who was planning to immediately use Agram as a countermeasure against her, smiled insidiously. * * * ¡®You must be active because the reward is great.¡¯ Dio thought as he watched Agram helping him as a relief pitcher. After successfully negotiating with Agram, Dio gave him one instruction. He told me to watch and protect myself because the High Elves of the Luna Church would attack me when I was left alone. That is why Agram was willing to step forward. A sure reward for him from this expedition. Now that Dio has convinced him of this, Agram has a justification to protect his life. Maybe that¡¯s why it was a definite show of force, unlike in Galleto. ¡°Elf sister. That friend became my employer? For mercenaries, trust is more important than anything else. ¡°Shall we hang out here?¡± The sharp purple blade of Agram¡¯s sword sparkled, and its tip was pointed precisely at Elaine. Agram¡¯s warning that he will gladly respond if you cross the line. As a mercenary king who would do anything for money, Agram was never afraid of clashing with the five swords. Elaine also seemed to sense that the disruptor was an unusual person, and just stared at him and Dio in silence. Elaine, a high elf, was not only excellent at archery but also at close combat. In addition, the original race of elves uses their own unique magic based on their higher mana affinity compared to other races. ¡®One-on-one will be difficult even for Agram. However, if she thinks about the mercenaries under her command and me, Elaine will not go forward without a care.¡¯ The ¡®Black Fang¡¯ mercenary group led by Agram is known as the strongest mercenary group on the continent. Elaine seemed to consider it. Otherwise, Elain would have willingly accepted Agram¡¯s challenge. ¡°¡­.¡± After a tense confrontation, Elaine lowered the hand that held the dagger without any response. Like Galletto, it seems he plans to wait for the next opportunity. Elaine glared at Dio once, then turned her back and quickly disappeared. ¡°Hwiyu~ It¡¯s not a joke, is it?¡± Agram also put the long sword he was holding into his waist and approached Dio. ¡°It¡¯s common for elves to dislike humans, but¡­ it seems they especially dislike you? ¡°Do you think you¡¯ve defeated some kind of enemy?¡± When asked by Agram that he needed to know the client¡¯s surroundings since his life was at stake, Dio shook his head as if it was no big deal. ¡°It¡¯s not that big of a deal. Isn¡¯t it obvious that the Luna Church is wary of me? They are on guard against the sun. ¡°Such friction is something I prepared for during this expedition.¡± ¡°Well, I don¡¯t know if he participated in this expedition with the intention of accusing him of heresy.¡± Agram nodded as if he understood what Dio said. ¡°One life isn¡¯t enough, right? ¡°I don¡¯t know if I walked the line correctly.¡± Agram opened his mouth slyly. Even though he whined, Dio assured him that there was no way he would stray from his rope. Agram is a person who is never afraid of the power of the Luna Church, and above all else, he pursues practicality. ¡°Why are you so upset? ¡°I am the type of person who repays favors twice.¡± Dio grinned at Agram and handed him a heavy pouch. Shiny gold coins in the pocket. Agram looked slightly surprised when the number of gold coins in it appeared to be well over 50. 50 gold is a large amount of money that veteran mercenaries can only afford after working hard for several years. That¡¯s assuming you only eat three meals a day. Of course, it may not seem like a big deal to him as a mercenary king, but the more money, the better. Seeing Dio casually handing over such a large amount of money increased Agram¡¯s trust in him. ¡°Receiving an advance will not mean that the compensation I promised will disappear or be lowered.¡± ¡°You are my number one customer.¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we take care of the Black Fangs as well? It was packed generously. ¡°If it¡¯s not enough, I¡¯ll take action on my own.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I will tell my family well.¡± Dio hoped that not only Agram, but also the Black Fangs he led, would do their best to help him. And Agram, who understood this, seemed very satisfied and put the heavy bag into his bosom without hesitation. ¡®All we need right now is Agram¡­¡¯ Even though Black Fang¡¯s crew is made up of veteran mercenaries, I don¡¯t think they can stand up to five swords. However, Dio needs to gain the favor of the continent¡¯s most famous Black Fang in order to consolidate his power in the future. If you give to them, when Agram steps up for Dio, they too will expect great rewards and volunteer to help. ¡®I need everything in Agram now. Until I raise my level a little more.¡¯ Dio, who was watching Agram leaving, was lost in thought. The five swords, including Elaine, currently here have a strength of about level 400. In the Order version of the world, those over level 400 are referred to as transcendents. They are literally monsters with strength that transcends humans or other races. So Order Board players had to not only hunt and level up, but also behave well towards them. If you make a mistake, you could suddenly die like a frog hit by a blind stone. They say that in order to play the Order Board without being noticed by the Transcendents, you have to reach at least level 400¡­ This is a ridiculous experience requirement starting at level 300. Most players give up before they even gain strength equivalent to transcendental level. ¡®But I like the conditions.¡¯ Thanks to Solari¡¯s accumulator, Dio¡¯s stats increase twice as much as others. Dio¡¯s current level is 312. Considering that Solari¡¯s blessing is applied starting at level 250, Dio had to be raised to at least level 325. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Only at that level will you have the minimum ability to fight those called transcendents. ¡®But to be sure, I need to raise it to level 350.¡¯ If that happens, you will be able to act as you please without having to worry about what the five swords think. Because being superior to strength is a sure way to become free. The grounds were sufficient. ¡®To be safe, you have to be greedy. Since this expedition is so large-scale, we need to be careful that the experience points are distributed. In that case¡­¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes, full of thoughts of monopolizing all the experience points, began to shine. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 142 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 142Episode 142 : Push! As the giant ogre¡¯s head exploded, ominous black blood splattered across the sky. The appearance and strength of the ogre that had just fallen was quite different from that of ogres from other regions. Aside from the dark-purple skin that seemed to have decayed, there was another pair of arms attached to his back. It was an ogre that had been mutated and reborn by the power of Acrich. It is said to be five times stronger than an ordinary ogre. thud! However, even these mutant monsters fell to Dio¡¯s sword in an instant, and the spirit of the Allied Forces who watched this was sky-high. ¡°The commander conveys. ¡°After dealing with the remnants of the center, we support both sides.¡± ¡°Waaah!¡± ¡°Die, you demon beasts!¡± At Dio¡¯s words, the commanders leading the coalition¡¯s troops began defeating the neutralized demon monsters one by one with their soldiers. In the meantime, Dio was able to take a breather. ¡®Phew, we¡¯re halfway through now.¡¯ There were endless battles, large and small, to the point where a battle had just begun in the depths of the Demonic Realm. You still have to travel half way to reach the place where the Deathcruger is. Until then, the Eastern Allied Forces had fought several battles, and each time, Dio took the lead with his party members and defeated them. It wasn¡¯t an action to protect the Allied Forces, but rather to monopolize experience points, but there was no way people would know what he was thinking. I just think of him as a brave commander who risks death and fights ahead. Maybe that¡¯s why the deeper they got into the demon world, the more the soldiers followed Dio¡¯s orders without saying anything. Although Prince Prian was nominally leading the Allied Forces, the Allied Forces took it for granted that Dio would naturally assume overall command at some point. The five swords also followed Dio¡¯s instructions under Prian¡¯s watch and helped clear the way by subduing the demonic beasts. This was because everyone considered Dio to be the general commander and they could not treat him carelessly. ¡®The mutant was mobilized faster than expected. He must have noticed by now.¡¯ Dio thought about Deathcruger¡¯s behavior and received reports of damage to his allies. By the halfway point, the damage suffered by the Eastern Allied Forces was very light. Although it was partly because Dio, an old man, was leading the front line, it also played a role in the quality of the soldiers. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio¡¯s companions armed with swords and named NPCs including five swords. The Eastern nobles and the knights under them, along with the Bertio Knights, the best knightly order in the East. In addition, the actual combat experience of the empire¡¯s regular army was on a different level from that of ordinary soldiers. In particular, Prince Prian¡¯s soldiers who participated in this expedition were the main characters who had recently suppressed a military rebellion and achieved great achievements. As a result, even the demonic beasts and undead sent by Descruger were unable to cause any significant damage. Of course, among these, the damage to the Allied Forces was minimized the most thanks to Dio¡¯s efforts to understand the characteristics and weaknesses of monsters and lead the military by deploying troops in the right places. There was no need to tell us that the arrangement according to the right place was also Dio¡¯s desire to monopolize experience points. ¡°Broken bones are glued together!¡± ¡°Now it¡¯s easy!¡± ¡°Solari. ¡°I believe it!¡± No matter how greedy Dio is, he cannot stop the Demon Lord¡¯s monsters alone. Although it was said to be weak, damage to the soldiers was inevitable, and Sepia treated them with sincerity. Normally, casualties are bound to occur in such large units, so some clerics are dispatched, but is it because of the orders of the Luna Church? Except for the five swords, not a single priest of the Luna Church participated in this expedition. Because of this, Sephia was treating the wounded alone, and Dio saw this as a golden opportunity to raise the soldiers¡¯ faith. ¡°The sun is with us.¡± Sephia followed Dio¡¯s instructions and carried out the healing ceremony as methodically as possible. Of course, Sephia did not use heal skills like regular priests. A bundle of light swirling around her. It looked like a nature spirit called a ¡®wisp¡¯, but it boasted a brilliant light that a spirit would not dare imitate. It was no exaggeration to say that this was a small sun. This skill, named [Healing Sun] after talking with Sepia, is a dot-based skill that continuously heals allies within a certain range. Fortunately, there were not many people injured and no one was fatally injured, so this skill alone was sufficient. Whenever the battle ended, the wounded went to Sepia on their own, and many of the soldiers who chased after her were still healthy. ¡°Isn¡¯t the saint pretty? lol.¡± ¡°You bastard are not someone to be trusted.¡± They seemed simply fascinated by Sephia, as if they were worshiping the Solari. ¡®So far so good.¡¯ With the addition of Sepia¡¯s treatment, the Allied Forces¡¯ situation was at its peak and could not have been better. There is almost no power loss at all. There is no way the Allied Forces would not welcome the fact that they had advanced to the center of the Demonic Territory. So far, the only incident that can be called a minor problem is the large-scale battle at the beginning. Since then, Descruger has mobilized additional troops and mutants, but the Allied Forces are still in good shape. So Dio became even more wary. If things proceed without any incidents or incidents, something big will eventually happen later. In particular, on the order board, D.O. experienced more such incidents than anyone else. The reason D.O was able to become the best output on the order board was because of his constant vigilance. And as expected, Dio¡¯s prediction was not wrong. In the end, a problem big enough to stagger the Allied forces arose. * * * Descruger created a big wave from scratch with the determination to destroy the first battle. This was an issue that Dio had assumed, but there were no major problems in resolving it. Rather, what D.O. had to watch out for was internal divisions and individual arbitrary actions. Fortunately, Prince Prian joined the Allied Forces, and Dio used him to solve the problem. Thanks to this, the Allied Forces remained as strong as before and were able to easily deal with the swarms of Descruger¡¯s demons that they encountered afterwards. However, the fact that the Allied forces¡¯ losses were minimal was actually an obstacle. This is because Deathrugger started sending ¡®plague-type undead¡¯. ¡°Cough! Cough!¡± ¡°Why am I so tired?¡± ¡°Me too¡­¡± ¡°Hey! Wake! ¡°Call the saint!¡± While Sepia was moving around the battle lines using Healing Sun. As the units in the rear slowly began to fall ill, the movement of the Allied forces came to a complete halt in an instant. This is why Death Luger is called the Pentagram and its strategy is considered extremely difficult. There are too many opponents to become a strong few, and plagues and various status abnormalities are problems to become a majority. This is due to the undead possessing a passive skill called ¡®Plague¡¯. It was easy to defeat them, but the problems that arose afterward were something the Allies could not deal with. For those who are not familiar with demonic energy to begin with, just entering it is fatal. The demonic energy that fills the Demonic Sutra is like a miasma. The poison is weak at the beginning, but the deeper you go, the thicker and stronger the poison becomes. In this situation, the ¡®Echo of Plague¡¯ that occurs when the Plague Undead dies makes the Demonic Land, which is already full of poison, even more dangerous. ¡®The pattern is different. It may be because the size of the Allied forces is large.¡¯ It¡¯s different from Luave. The number of patterns was much more diverse, irregular, and flexible than Luave¡¯s patterns. ¡®He noticed. There is a lack of clergy in the Union.¡¯ Currently, there was only one person in the Allied Forces who could be called a priest, Sepia. Although she has shown great ability and protected everyone so far, common sense suggests that it was impossible to purify a large-scale plague on her own. Deathcruger, who noticed this, began to operate the Plague Undead on a large scale, which would normally only be operated on a small scale. ¡®They gave up on sending strong demon beasts and are creating a plague. Well, this is probably the most effective method he can think of.¡¯ Descruger¡¯s decision to act flexibly according to the situation of the Allied Forces brought fatal results to the Allied Forces. Since the status ailment called ¡®infection¡¯ can only be cured by the priest¡¯s purification, the items Dio brought could not be used here. Of course, Sepia can use wide-area healing and purification skills in addition to Healing Sun. However, while the five swords must also be kept in check, consuming more energy than this must be avoided. The Allies had to make a decision. ¡°It is impossible to enter like this.¡± ¡°The number of infected people has exceeded half.¡± Dio, who was briefed on the current situation by each soldier¡¯s commander, immediately requested a summons order from the prince. The leaders who gathered in this way were the five swords of Igram, including Dio, and Prion opened his mouth towards them. ¡°The situation for the soldiers is not so good. ¡°What about the mercenary side?¡± ¡°Same goes for this one. The veterans are holding up well, but one-third of the mercenary group is infected with the plague. ¡°Most of the merchant guilds that were at the forefront were infected.¡± ¡°It was my first time going this far away, so I couldn¡¯t take any measures against the plague. ¡°Maybe we were overconfident.¡± Hearing Agram¡¯s report, Prian massaged his temples as if he had a headache. ¡°What should I do?¡± Prion asked everyone, but his final gaze was fixed on Dio. With a look of secret hope that he would solve this problem. With everyone¡¯s attention, Dio opened his mouth. ¡°If we force it, the plague will spread much more strongly and quickly than it does now.¡± Dio announced his plan by deliberately speaking slowly amidst all the attention. ¡°We are about halfway to our destination. From now on, I think it would be better to enter with only small units that Sepia can manage.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s a small scale, to what level are you thinking?¡± ¡°The personnel here, my companions, veteran mercenaries, and the elite knights who will protect the prince.¡± When Dio calculated the exact number, Prian looked troubled. Although about half of the Allied Forces were infected with the plague, the number of people who survived it was a significant force. It was too dangerous to say that we would turn back all of this and enter the demonic region, which would become even more dangerous in the future, with only a small number of troops. ¡°If I go as far as I¡¯ve come, I can fight the lich, but isn¡¯t that too dangerous?¡± ¡°no. On the contrary, during this half, the guy overexerted himself considerably. ¡°The Allied Forces fulfilled their responsibility just by coming this far and defeating Lich¡¯s men.¡± In order to convince Prian and everyone else, Dio began to explain the basis for his judgment one by one. ¡°In order to safely return the infected soldiers, we need to bring in a corresponding number of management troops.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°If we mobilize a large number of troops without considering the infected soldiers, and something untoward happens, there is no turning back. ¡°Not us, but the soldiers now infected with the plague.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Prion nodded slowly at Dio¡¯s words. Even if the expedition ends safely, it cannot be said to be a successful expedition if the damage is severe. As Dio said, the Allied Forces have made great contributions so far. So, if we survive and return like this, even if the expedition fails, we can prevent minimal losses. ¡°As I said, Acrich will not be able to operate a large army for the time being.¡± ¡°Besides, if we move on our own, we can move much faster.¡± As if he agreed with Dio¡¯s opinion, Agram next to him also added a word. Dio continued speaking after Agram. ¡°you¡¯re right. If that happens, we could defeat the lich before he can recover the power he used to create the army.¡± From Prian¡¯s perspective, it is a very good situation to succeed in the expedition without any damage. If, as Dio said, the expedition was completed by sending back the plague-stricken main force and preserving their lives, the reward that would follow was sure to be enormous. ¡®Stop the resurrection of the Demon King without any significant loss¡­¡¯ Prian couldn¡¯t help but find the thought appealing. If we do that, we will be able to establish an overwhelming position among our brothers. However, I cannot decide this important matter alone. Prian looked at the five swords and opened his mouth to ask about their intentions. ¡°What do you think about the Luna Church?¡± ¡°We also agree.¡± Aldur, representing the Five Swords, expressed his approval without any disagreement. Prian was curious about this because the five swords were dissatisfied with Dio¡¯s work at every turn, but he did not have time to think deeply about it. Even while we were worrying like this, the plague was spreading rapidly. ¡°Then the decision has been made. I also agree. ¡°Prioritize the safety of the infected soldiers and send troops to fight them. I will be selecting personnel to continue the subjugation.¡± ¡°I will follow your orders.¡± Dio bowed his head in Prian¡¯s permission. With a faint smile that no one can see. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 143 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 143Episode 143: A large-scale allied force of thousands gathered together with great difficulty. You would have expected that there would be many people who would be opposed to the bold strategy of defeating the enemy even though they are halfway to their destination. Freen¡¯s decision was accepted without much pros or cons. But people didn¡¯t know. The fact that all of this was what Dio expected¡­or rather, created the situation itself. There is no way Dio doesn¡¯t know that Deathcruger operates plague undead. Nevertheless, no countermeasures were prepared for this. This is because Dio had planned to send the Union soldiers back from the beginning. ¡®Deskruger doesn¡¯t use plague from the beginning. It¡¯s not effective. The proof is that they used the tactic of an army of demonic beasts.¡¯ The decisive reason for the current infection damage is the regional characteristics of ¡®Magyeong¡¯. The miasma of the demonic spirit thickens from exactly half way. If plague is added, the effect is doubled. Of course, Descruger¡¯s decision progressed faster than expected, but it didn¡¯t matter. As mentioned earlier, the Allied Forces fulfilled their responsibilities from the beginning and completed their mission. ¡®Besides, the leadership formed now will not reject my proposal.¡¯ Dio immediately expected that the leadership would accept this unreasonable proposal without any objection. Half of the Allied Forces are Imperial soldiers mobilized by Prion, and there is more than enough reason to preserve their losses. And the mercenary king Agram was hired by Dio. If the number decreases, you will have calculated that much more will fall on you. That¡¯s probably why he actively approved it. Lastly, five swords. Although they were suspicious of Dio leading, they had no complaints about this order. ¡®The fewer eyes you see, the easier it is to complete your mission as a saint.¡¯ Dio accepted it as an established fact that the mission given by the saint to the five swords was aimed at his head. Otherwise, three people and five swords wouldn¡¯t be used to defeat Acrich. At least inconspicuously, they mobilized all their might to catch an unknown enemy for whom proper information has not yet been revealed. Of course, since the prince was with him, he would not reveal his true colors openly, but if he successfully dealt with Acrich, he would definitely take action. ¡®Still, I don¡¯t know. ¡®I need to stay alert because I might move before I reach my destination.¡¯ Dio composed himself as he watched the army trying to escape the demonic realm. The remaining people were simply dressed except for their weapons and equipment, because most of them were skilled people who knew how to use subspace. Of course, among Deathruger¡¯s magic, there is a skill that seals subspace from being used. If that happens, a fatal problem may arise in the current situation where most of the supplies are stored in subspace, but it is not something to worry about now. The most important thing to Dio is the five swords. ¡®Galetto Elaine. These two are very interested in me. ¡®I must always be with the prince.¡¯ Dio thought about the people he needed to pay the most attention to. And Dio was always watching Aldur as well. than others whose future actions can be easily predicted. Because Aldur might be the most dangerous. * * * After disbanding the large army, the number of newly formed allied forces did not exceed 500 at most. 500 people may be said to be a lot, but it was a shabby number compared to the thousands who first gathered. Most of these people were able to withstand the poison of the demonic spirit on their own. Two days had already passed since entering the depths of the Devil¡¯s Land, and the Allied Forces were spending the night of the Devil¡¯s Land without any trouble. Caw ¨C Dio¡¯s eyes widened as he heard the crow¡¯s caw ringing in his ears. A crow hovering somewhat above his head. In keeping with the gloomy atmosphere of the demonic world, one could have mistaken it for a crow devouring corpses, but Dio realized at once that it was Evelyn¡¯s summoned beast. As the Allied Forces have been reduced, the security needs to be strengthened even more. Accordingly, Dio thought that simply entrusting sentry to knights or mercenaries was not enough, so he entrusted surveillance to Evelyn. Of course, the target of surveillance was not a demon but five swords. ¡°D.O. That man is watching again! ¡°Ugh, that¡¯s creepy!¡± ¡°I know.¡± The crow spoke on behalf of Evelyn. ¡®The guy moved.¡¯ The ¡®man¡¯ they are talking about is none other than Galletto. For the past few days, Galletto has been itching to fight Dio. Others may not understand, but for Galletto, quieting his fighter¡¯s instincts was not easy. Maybe that¡¯s why Galletto always hovered around Dio and expressed his longing. Even though the prince was right in front of him, dealing with the demonic beasts was so boring and boring that he decided to give his body a break. But each time, Freean stopped him. Freen could not understand why he had to waste his strength in the middle of enemy territory. And Aldur also tried to dissuade Galletto from his tactless actions. With so many distractions, Galletto couldn¡¯t get what he wanted and spent the whole day in a state of low pressure. Time passes by like that and it is still too early for morning to come. The others, including Prian, who had interfered with Galletto at every turn, have not yet risen. Galletto, who had been waiting for this moment, approached Dio without hesitation. ¡®good. Sufficient measures have been taken.¡¯ The reason Dio did not respond to Galletto¡¯s unexpected behavior was because his existence itself was unexpected. But now time has passed. It was enough time to think about how to deal with Galleto. ¡°Shall we change seats?¡± When Dio quietly stood up and opened his mouth, Galletto, who had already come up to him, smiled from ear to ear. Perhaps Galletto thought that Dio had finally accepted the fight. ¡®Use Galletto¡¯s personality.¡¯ Simply belligerent. Galetto¡¯s personality is not enough to say that. Dio planned to take advantage of this and, as Galletto had hoped, he left the other saboteurs alone and moved with him to a secluded place. * * * ¡°I was wondering what would happen if I woke up the prince, but aren¡¯t you hungry too?¡± Galletto, who was smiling and crossing his arms to warm up, spoke to Dio. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°fight.¡± Galetto was hunched over with his hands on his knees. His will to fight at any time is visible. However, Dio¡¯s next words did not live up to Galletto¡¯s expectations. ¡°Am I crazy? Fight you?¡± ¡°huh?¡± Hearing Dio¡¯s words, Galletto awkwardly raised his head. Are you saying that they didn¡¯t set up a separate place like this to fight with themselves? ¡°You¡¯re going to throw me out now? ¡°Then why did you call me aside?¡± ¡°It was sung by Galeto.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure you know what I want, right?¡± ¡°I know. So I¡¯m going to make it clear.¡± Dio answered harshly. Unlike Galletto, he was not prepared for battle at all. ¡°If the fight with Mr. Galeto ends up being just a sparring match, I won¡¯t avoid it either. But don¡¯t you fight to the point of death?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Galletto did not specifically deny it. As D.O. said, he is the type of person who sees the end once he has a fight. ¡°Even if we save our strength to deal with Acrich, what will happen to our military discipline if we fight among ourselves in a situation where we have no choice but to fight?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a friend there named Sephia who calls herself a saint? ¡°You just need to get treatment for everything.¡± ¡°That is only possible if people are still alive. Who knows? Galeto is so excited that he wants to kill me. Oh, do you really want that? Just as the saintess of the Luna Church wishes.¡± ¡°!!¡± Galletto was momentarily unable to control his expression as Dio¡¯s words struck his bones. ¡®How do we know our mission?¡¯ The saint¡¯s command to bring back Dio¡¯s head. Galletto was surprised by Dio¡¯s words when he noticed this, but at the same time, his pride was hurt. The current Galletto is not requesting a duel because of the saint¡¯s orders, but simply because of his desire to win. So Galletto had no intention of taking Dio¡¯s head. I just want to feel the pure joy of fighting. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°¡­no. I just want to have fun. ¡°I¡¯m not particularly interested in your neck.¡± ¡°How can you believe that?¡± ¡°Khat, can you prove it? ¡°If it weren¡¯t for that, you would be dead by my hands right now.¡± Galeto spat out the words like a growl. Now that we are far behind the Allied Forces and without the prince¡¯s watch. It was the best opportunity for Galleto to fulfill her duties as a saint. Nevertheless, Galletto did not attack the defenseless Dio. There is only one reason. Because what Galletto wanted was not a mission, but a bloody fight. ¡°Take up your weapons. ¡°If you keep avoiding me, I have no choice but to carry out my mission.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Despite Galletto¡¯s warning not to run away anymore, Dio still did not take a stance. As you know, Galletto, who is in a serious battle-mad mode, does not easily attack an unprepared opponent. ¡°May I suggest something interesting?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk back and hold your posture.¡± Dio didn¡¯t pay any attention to Galletto¡¯s threats and slowly began to circle around him. As if tempting fish with tasty bait. ¡°Are you satisfied with just fighting me right now?¡± ¡°what?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s be honest, shall we? I know your strength. ¡°I saw it firsthand.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Galletto collided with Schuwald with all his might in the Kalech Forest. Dio emphasized that he was there. ¡°So I¡¯m sure. ¡°As of now, I am not strong enough to satisfy you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s up to me to decide.¡± ¡°Do you remember me when I first met you?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°What am I like then and now? ¡°It¡¯s not as strong as Galetto, but it¡¯s strong enough to make you interested.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Galeto¡¯s spirit calmed down, but he was no less threatening. ¡°Keep going.¡± ¡°After this expedition, I will grow even more.¡± ¡°Hold on until then?¡± ¡°Persimmons that ripen the longest are the most delicious. I have proven that I am getting stronger quickly. ¡°Don¡¯t you know, Galetto?¡± Dio spoke in a confident tone in order to gain Galetto¡¯s trust. ¡°So I assure you. ¡°Once we finish the entire expedition, I can give you as much of the fight that Galeto wants.¡± It wasn¡¯t enough to just convince Galletto. Dio also looked at the sky with a slightly regretful expression and muttered as if he was talking to himself. ¡°For that to happen, my head has to be on the line, right? It would be a shame if five other swords were aimed at my neck¡­ ¡°If I haven¡¯t yet met Galeto¡¯s expectations, I will die without moving.¡± Dio says that if that happens, the duel that Galeto wants so much will also disappear. Perhaps because he remembered this, Galetto¡¯s complexion wrinkled. Nevertheless, Dio continued speaking. ¡°But if Galeto would stop them¡­if you would just give me a little time, I could get what I want.¡± ¡°Look at this. Are you trying to get me into a fight with people of the same sect?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it okay? ¡°Don¡¯t you, Galetto, want to fight with the same five swords?¡± ¡°¡­!¡± Although Dio¡¯s words openly incited internal division, Galletto did not deny anything. A duel between five swords was something Galetto was very happy about. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m asking you to be patient just a little longer. Is that all? If I return alive, I can make arrangements with other strong players from the empire. ¡°Prince Prian seems to have a lot of trust in me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Galletto nodded in agreement. It was an understandable story because he had seen how Prian had treated Dio so far. ¡°How is it? ¡°Isn¡¯t it okay to invest time now for the future?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Galeto showed a worried expression in response to Dio¡¯s persuasion. Galetto pondered in silence for a while. Finally, he opened his mouth. ¡°okay. ¡°It¡¯s all good.¡± Galletto looked into Dio¡¯s eyes again as if he had made a decision. But for some reason, I still didn¡¯t relax my prepared battle stance. ¡°There is still insufficient evidence.¡± ¡°You mean the basis?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°I need to see right now if you¡¯ll really grow enough to satisfy me. Then I¡¯ll make a decision.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Galletto didn¡¯t want to think complicatedly. One way or another, it will be easily resolved if we fight in the end. Galeto believed that he could only be sure if Dio was a vessel that could satisfy him or not only by clashing fists. Whoa! The fierce force emanating from Galeto enveloped Dio¡¯s skin. Is appeasement a failure? No, not yet. Because this is also just a process of getting closer to the ending Dio had in mind. ¡°Whoa-¡± Dio calmly caught his breath. Dio never backed down despite Galletto¡¯s intimidating gaze. Eventually, as the other person hoped, the energy began to slowly rise. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 144 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 144Episode 144: Ever since Galeto crossed the threshold of death in Kalech Forest, he has never forgotten the battle. The madness of the full moon shown by an old werewolf. The full moon could be seen as the power of the Luna Church, but Galeto could tell. The true power of the sun hidden behind it. ¡®This guy is real!¡¯ Galetto is the power of the sun radiating from the baby in front of you. He sensed that he was powerful enough to rival the old werewolf who had driven him to death. I thought the story he first told was just sophistry. It means protecting yourself until you are fully grown. To be honest, I was tempted. Even if we assume that Dio is evading a crisis by lying, it is true that he can fight against strong people without hesitation if we consider his convenience. Not only the same five swords, but also the empire and the werewolf that caused his death. However, Galletto wanted to relieve the itch of the present rather than the future. So, they forced a duel under the pretext of providing a basis, but¡­ coo coo coo coo! Galetto looked down at the momentum Dio gave off. At some point, you find yourself taking a step backwards. It was unbelievable. Does this mean I¡¯m overwhelmed? ¡®okay. This is it.¡¯ Galetto, with his eyes wide open, moved forward again the same distance he had retreated. Quaaaaa! As their energies collided, a strong wind began to rise. Galeto¡¯s excitement reached its peak as the moment he had hoped for approached, but he could not easily tackle the guy. ¡®This isn¡¯t the end of this guy¡¯s power.¡¯ Galeto waited until his opponent gave it his all. I could wait that long. And he also had to prepare himself. This won¡¯t be enough to match his energy. Kwakwak! The ground of the earth could not withstand the force and caved in, but Galeto did not care. He just increased his strength according to the energy shown by the other person. All of Galletto¡¯s attention was focused on Dio as the other person showed more power than he could have imagined. Was that the problem? ¡°Galetto! ¡°What are you doing now?¡± Even if they were away from the camp, the disruptors could not have been unaware of the clash of enormous powers between the two beings. ¡°oh. ¡°Holy shit.¡± Galetto was so excited that he forgot about the disruptor. * * * ¡°are you okay?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°Because there was no armed conflict.¡± Dio spoke to Evelyn, who had watched the situation from beginning to end, as if it was no big deal. It ended before anything serious actually happened. Just by releasing a huge force, it creates abnormal phenomena in nature. Sensing this, the five swords, the mercenary king, and Prince Prion stood in front of Galeto. And because Dio¡¯s companions had also gathered by his side, Galletto retreated without much resistance. ¡°But it¡¯s surprising. ¡°It looked like it was going to hit me at any moment.¡± Sephia, who had been anxious, sighed in relief, but Dio had different thoughts from her. Galetto has revealed his warlike personality without hiding it until now. However, Dio knew that he was not an ignorant person who just ran wild without thinking. ¡°You guys go first. ¡°I have something to think about for a moment.¡± After sending his companions back to camp, Dio sat down on a suitable rock nearby and got lost in thought. There is one reason why Galletto meekly retreated. This is because the sheer power that Dio showed was strong enough to satisfy Galletto. This was possible because the Transcendents could estimate the size of the force even without directly encountering it. But in reality, what Galletto felt and the power Dio could show were different. ¡®If I had actually made it, I would have been disappointed.¡¯ Dio grinned, opened the system window, and looked at his level. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Status Window] : 328 : Great Warrior of the Sun Strength: 500 Agility: 410 Intelligence: 350 Stamina: 400 Mana: 350 Bonus Points: 0 HP: 3538 MP: 3388 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Hunt demon beasts and undead at the beginning of the Demon World 312 It was Dio who raised the level. And now, as a result of crossing the middle of the demon world and defeating other Deathcruger¡¯s demon beasts and undead, I was finally able to reach level 328. Thanks to Solari¡¯s blessing, he has stats that are much higher than his actual level. However, because the stats were high, the actual level only seemed high, but it was impossible to be as strong as if the level had actually been raised to that level. The reason is because of the auxiliary abilities given to the player just by the ¡®level¡¯ value itself. Things that are not related to bonus points. For example, attribute resistance increases every 10 levels, or high-grade equipment with a level limit. It doesn¡¯t matter if the equipment satisfies the required stats without any level restrictions. However, the equipment that could compete with ¡®transcendants¡¯ who were over level 400 also had a level limit of over 400. The criteria for a player to have an advantage over transcendents is not simply satisfying the level. It doesn¡¯t matter if the player level is much higher than that of the transcendents, but otherwise, you must wear the highest level equipment appropriate for that level. It is not a good idea to match Galeto¡¯s determination by simply raising the stats. We can be confident that the equipment Dio is currently wearing is top-of-the-line equipment, but it is only equipment appropriate for his current ¡®level¡¯. Even though it was equipment strengthened through the Sun¡¯s Blessing skill, the difference from the level 400 item was significant. In the end, Dio, who cannot wear level 400 equipment, is at a very disadvantage when fighting Galleto. Of course, it would be worth doing if you received Sepia and Evelyn¡¯s buff skills, but¡­ there was no need to make it complicated. The basis for Galeto¡¯s request to show off is simply bravado. What Galletto caught was only Dio¡¯s stats. The amount of power emitted from the order board is entirely proportional to the stats. So, Galetto naturally thought that Dio was a level 400 or higher transcendental person. It was accepted that Dio was not just bluffing to avoid a crisis. ¡®Even though the bluff was correct.¡¯ Dio is not sure what Galletto¡¯s future will be. However, I have told Galeto that if I become stronger through this expedition, I will accept a duel at any time. Due to Galeto¡¯s personality, he would not carelessly listen to what Dio suggested. ¡®It¡¯ll be fine if you don¡¯t worry about Galleto for a while. Because of this, Prian will also be keeping an eye on him more.¡¯ After sorting out the situation, Dio closed the system window and slowly got up. Acrich and five swords. To handle these simultaneously, you need to plan even more thoroughly. Since there was still a long way to go, Dio constantly thought about his future plans even while walking. * * * ¡°Please stay still. ¡°Even if others are like that, shouldn¡¯t we keep an eye on the prince?¡± ¡°I understand. Inspiration.¡± As soon as he returned to the camp, Galeto half-heartedly responded to Aldur¡¯s nagging. Aldur sighed at the sight of Galletto like that. It wasn¡¯t that he wanted complete control, but he knew how to act sensibly in front of the prince. But that was just Alletto¡¯s wish, and Galletto ended up in an accident. Due to this incident, Prian¡¯s surveillance has been further strengthened. It was natural for Aldur to have a headache. However, only Aldur cares about the mission of the church. Aldur¡¯s advice to be careful continued for a while. But Galletto¡¯s mind was filled with the presence of Dio. ¡®How can one become that strong?¡¯ Galetto grabbed his hands, which were already wet with sweat. Dio¡¯s strength was completely incomprehensible to Galeto¡¯s common sense. Only a few months have passed since we met in Kalech Forest. ¡®Was it raised by that inspiration? Well, it¡¯s not impossible if you have a good teacher. Moreover, it is said that the sun god gave him strength¡­.¡¯ Galleto thought of Schuwald, who had fought in a bloody fight over life and death, and felt the wounds inflicted on him throbbing. The sun that the Luna Church has been guarding for a thousand years. Galetto couldn¡¯t even guess how strong the sun would become in the future. It was clear that these people would become a huge obstacle that would block the Luna Church¡¯s path forward, so they had to be nipped in the bud from now on. At least in the northern city of Estellum, Galletto also had that thought. But when I encountered it in person, my thoughts changed. The saint said that the sun is evil and must be stopped to save people. However, Galleto, who had been watching Dio until now, did not see him as a villain threatening the continent. If it is determined that he is truly a dangerous person who causes harm to the world, then it is okay to proceed with the judgment. ¡®It¡¯s almost now.¡¯ Galeto smiled quietly, sensing that a bloody battle between life and death was imminent. * * * S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The morning of the demon world, covered with demonic energy, dawned again. Nevertheless, the sky did not feel very bright. This was due to the influence of demonic energy that gathered like dark clouds in the deep demonic sky. Additionally, this is the eastern demonic region called the cursed swamp. The muddy ground, which resembles a mudflat, is so dark that it is difficult to reflect light, so people are barely aware that the sun has risen. Because the ground was uneven, the Allied Forces became tired simply by moving around. Nevertheless, the Allied forces did not stop their advance. ¡°The scouts are back!¡± A knight approached Prian and quickly reported. Dio, who was listening from the side, raised his head and saw the scouting party returning to the Allied side. A scouting party made up of two quick-footed knights to figure out the routes taken by the main Allied forces. Dio could tell right away that there was a problem with the scouting party. Because one was supporting the other. ¡°What¡¯s going on? ¡°Have you been attacked?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it. ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± The returning scout trailed off at Prion¡¯s question and looked at their comrade who was drooping. In clean condition without any scratches. However, he was unconscious. ¡°I¡¯ll take a look.¡± Sepia, who found this strange, stepped forward and began to look at the scouts who had their eyes closed. The conclusion that was eventually drawn was¡­. ¡°You fell asleep?¡± ¡°hmm?¡± When asked about Sepia¡¯s diagnosis, Prian did not immediately understand what she was saying. You must be tired, but falling asleep in the middle of a reconnaissance mission?¡­ I fell hard. Even though the Allied forces were advancing quickly, they did not force too much force. Didn¡¯t they camp in a suitable place, rest sufficiently, and then march on? ¡°I don¡¯t even know what happened. ¡°I suddenly collapsed during a mission.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like some kind of sleep spell. Since I am not a demonic energy, it seems difficult to solve the problem even with my purification ability¡­what should I do?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Everyone looked troubled at Sepia¡¯s words. But it wasn¡¯t Dio. The ¡®sleep¡¯ of the Deathcruiser that blocked the Allied Forces¡¯ path was a pattern that Dio was familiar with. ¡®Hmm, I¡¯ve just passed the halfway point¡­ but the pattern moves much faster as expected.¡¯ Dio sensed that Deathrugger was nervous. Even at the beginning, Deathrugger¡¯s actions were progressing faster, but it wasn¡¯t a big problem. It¡¯s just that the timing is different, but it¡¯s not like the pattern is different. Dio opened his inventory and began looking for items he had prepared for this situation. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 145 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 145Episode 145: Death Luger. It is a name with ¡®death¡¯ in front of the real name. The great wizard Kruger took the lead more than anyone else in protecting the harmony of the continent. However, the fact that he turned his back on humans was a background setting for Deathcruger that was well known to players, including Dio. As the background story is solidly established, it is not only directly related to the order version scenario, but also possesses a strength appropriate for it. In the first place, the fact that it was given the nickname ¡®Omangseong¡¯ among players means that it is very strong. In any case, since the basic base of Deathcruger, which boasts an odd difficulty level of attack, is magic, it shows a variety of variation patterns. Among them, there are several patterns that are statistically most common, and players call them ¡®standard patterns¡¯. ¡®And this is the standard pattern of Descruger.¡¯ As Dio looked at the sleeping knight, he remembered Deathcruger¡¯s sleep magic. [Eternal Rest]. It is a wide-range spell that puts the opponent into sleep and provides eternal rest. To be precise, it is a large-scale field magic that grants status abnormalities in a certain range. ¡®Originally, I would have to reach the end to use it.¡¯ The difference between the Deathcruger pattern that D.O is facing now and the Jeongseong pattern is that the timing is different. The closer you get to Deathrugger, the more he gives players no time to rest. So, as we reach the end, we cover the surrounding terrain with ¡®Eternal Rest¡¯ and launch an all-out attack. Players had to confront Deathcruger¡¯s minions while resisting the Eternal Rest. Deathrugger participates in the war by raising dead bodies in a situation that is already burdensome enough. This is truly an odd pattern. In other words, Eternal Rest was like announcing that Deathrugger would appear soon. ¡®But¡­¡¯ The Eternal Rest approached the Allied forces who had just crossed the halfway point. According to the scout¡¯s report, if you continue like this for just 2km, you will reach the Eternal Rest area. ¡®Will Deathrugger clash in an all-out war like I knew he would? By coming forward yourself?¡¯ Perhaps, Eternal Rest was used earlier than the standard pattern in order to slightly reduce the size of the Allied Forces. As the saying goes, standard patterns are patterns that are frequently seen, but there are exceptions. I¡¯ve encountered the Eternal Rest at the halfway point several times in the past, and sometimes it would come out immediately afterward, and other times it would come out. In any case, it couldn¡¯t have been quite a trick for Descruger. Additionally, other than Dio, it seemed like people couldn¡¯t even guess what type of magic Deathcruger¡¯s sleep magic was. If Dio didn¡¯t know about Deathcruger, he would have been just as embarrassed as that crowd¡­ After checking the items in his inventory, Dio headed towards the buzzing crowd. To inform them of a solution before they fall into further confusion. * * * ¡°Sleep magic is no big deal, is it? ¡°All I can do is put that fearsome Acrich to sleep.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to say it that easily. Eternal sleep means death.¡± One knight made a disparaging remark about Descruger, but Aldur came forward and informed everyone of the seriousness of the situation. ¡°Are you saying this friend is dead?¡± The knight who returned safely from a reconnaissance mission asked in an incredulous tone, and Aldur nodded with a dark expression. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s a technique that cannot be understood by human standards. ¡°For someone who masters magic to become a lich¡­ it¡¯s scary.¡± ¡°How can this be¡­¡± ¡°If I study this at the Magic Tower, I may be able to come up with a solution¡­¡± Even though Aldur did not finish his sentence, everyone in the room understood what he said. If we retreat from Deathrugger¡¯s magic like this, it will be like a clear failure in subjugation. The only chance to stop Acrich, who was preparing to revive the Demon King, is now. ¡°If it¡¯s such dangerous magic, wouldn¡¯t it be possible to use it on a large scale?¡± ¡°Well¡­ if one scout party was caught, it looks like the entire area is covered in magic. ¡°You were probably following from the rear, right?¡± ¡°Oh yeah. ¡°I also did not move forward easily after seeing the knight in front of me fall.¡± The knight nodded at Aldur¡¯s guess and explained the situation in detail. The knight said that there was a lot of fog in the terrain where his colleague approached, and he felt strange about the fog, so he barely managed to grab the foot of his fallen colleague and returned. ¡°To what extent did the fog spread?¡± ¡°It was very spacious. ¡°The end could not be confirmed with the naked eye.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± At the knight¡¯s words, Aldur fell into deep concern again. When it comes to magic, the saddest magic tower lord is Aldur. Since even he did not know the proper solution, Prian opened his mouth nervously. ¡°How about the wizards move around with their shields open?¡± ¡°well. ¡°Unless we know to what extent Deathcruger¡¯s magic has spread, it seems like a too risky move.¡± ¡°you¡¯re right. If you force a breakthrough, it will only lead to your death. ¡°Why don¡¯t we just turn around and go?¡± Agram, who was discussing with him, also suggested his own idea, but Prian shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t have time. Or are there any potions among our supplies that can increase resistance? ¡°It¡¯s one of the items the merchants brought.¡± ¡°well. Even if there were, there wouldn¡¯t be enough for all of us. A potion with that effect is very rare.¡± At Agram¡¯s answer, Prion sighed as if he had expected that to happen. There was no way the Allied Forces would have such a high-end potion since the regular potions themselves were lacking. ¡°Even if you have enough potions, it won¡¯t be of any use unless it¡¯s a decent potion. As far as I can tell, unless it¡¯s a top-tier resistance potion¡­¡± Aldur began to explain the additional difficulties, and everyone¡¯s expressions grew darker. ¡°What if the quantity is generous and the effect is outstanding?¡± ¡°hmm? If there was such a supply, we wouldn¡¯t have to worry like this¡­¡± Aldur was unable to continue speaking and his eyes began to widen. It is not surprising that the person who just spoke was Dio. However, the contents of the large box he was holding were so valuable that they surprised not only Aldur but also all of the people present. ¡°What about this?¡± ¡°Please take one each.¡± Evelyn, who was next to Dio, took out a thin reagent bottle from the box and handed it to Prian. ¡°This is a top-quality resistance potion made by boiling the leaves of the Giant Stump.¡± ¡°what?¡± Elaine looked suspicious at Dio¡¯s explanation. She approached Dio, snatched the bottle, and looked closely at the brilliant liquid contained within. ¡°¡­Nonsense. ¡°Where did you get all this stuff?¡± Elaine, who confirmed that it was a potion purified from stump leaves, looked at Dio with even more disbelief. It was obvious why she reacted so sensitively to just one item. This is because the leaves of the Giant Stump were something that not only humans but even elves could easily obtain. Giant Stump, which lives in the Elven Forest, is a special entity classified as a non-first attack monster. They live in harmony with the elves, but they cannot obtain stump leaves through normal means. The general method is to loot drop items that appear after hunting monsters. However, stump leaves can never be obtained through hunting. Stump is a type of Ent that walks through the forest in the form of a huge stump and has the characteristic of only gifting its leaves to those who love the forest. ¡°They gave it to me because I asked for it?¡± ¡°lie! ¡°How dare you!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to believe it, get out of the way. ¡°Because I don¡¯t have time.¡± Dio once stood on the side of the elves and protected the World Tree. When he was the savior of the elves, every stump that met him gave him a leaf. Dio pushed Elaine¡¯s dumbfounded shoulder and opened his mouth to everyone. ¡°Now, let¡¯s take them one by one.¡± ¡°Huh, it would be difficult to find items of this high purity even in the Magic Tower. ¡°I received something precious.¡± Like Elaine, Aldur recognized the true value of the potion at a glance and was quite impressed. Is it thanks to that? Since the high elf and magic tower lord guaranteed the value of the potion, others accepted the potion without hesitation even without Dio providing any additional explanation.

The number of potions he took out seemed to be over five hundred at best. ¡°aide. ¡°Take these and give them to everyone.¡± ¡°All right.¡± At Frian¡¯s order, the adjutant called out other knights and moved to pack the box. ¡°When did you prepare for this? ¡°Like I know all about the lich¡¯s plans.¡± ¡°I told you. ¡°It¡¯s a revelation.¡± Dio responded briefly to Prian¡¯s words. They say this is God¡¯s revelation, but there is nothing more to ask here. Because Dio had already done what he had done, Prian just looked at the potion in his hand in silence. ¡°It lasts exactly three hours. The water surface area formed by Acrich has a radius of 5km. ¡°If we continue our advance, we will be able to break through within the time limit.¡± ¡°I understand. ¡°Let everyone know.¡± After hearing Dio¡¯s explanation, Prian nodded and began to move to lead the army. * * * ¡°Danger zone from 300m ahead!¡± ¡°stop!¡± Upon hearing the scout¡¯s report, Freen raised his hand and stopped the Allied forces. Then he looked at Dio next to him and nodded. ¡°Take the potion.¡± ¡°yes!¡± As soon as Freean¡¯s order was given, all of the Allied Forces opened the potion caps they had been given and drank them all in one go. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Highest Resistance Potion] Grade: Unique Category: Potion Effect: Magic Resistance +300 Abnormal Status Resistance +300 Duration: 3 hours ¡ª¡ª¨C ¡ª¡ª- Giant Stump leaves are one of the best materials with resistance options. Magic resistance level increases by 300. Because of this, it can withstand Deathcruger¡¯s Eternal Rest, so it can be seen as an essential item to attack him. The Allied advance force slowly entered the area covered with sleeping gas. At first, it seemed like it was just a light fog surrounding the outside, but Dio knew that this would get thicker as he went forward. ¡°The further you move toward the center, the more difficult it is to secure visibility, so stick together as much as possible! ¡°Don¡¯t miss the person in front of you!¡± As the Allied forces entered the surface area in earnest, Dio took command again. Now that you have taken the resistance potion, there is no major problem passing through the area covered with Eternal Rest. However, Deathcruger was not a gentle creature who could solve this problem with just a potion. ¡°Shield soldiers must remain in the lead and beware of enemy ambushes!¡± Under Dio¡¯s leadership, the Allied Forces quickly advanced through the early stages, and as expected, the fog began to become thicker. ¡°There¡¯s something ahead!¡± The knights and mercenaries in the front row, armed with shields, each shouted as if they had discovered the shapes of the enemies hiding in the fog. ¡°Everyone ready!¡± Immediately Dio¡¯s voice, giving the command to break through, began to echo and spread through the fog. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 146 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 146Episode 146 : Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr oft of the undead and undead hiding in the fog could be seen as they approached the nose of the Allied Forces. Not only the Chimeras and Dullahan we¡¯ve seen so far, but also the Plague Undead. Although the number itself was smaller than the corps attached at the beginning, the number of allied forces was also greatly reduced. In addition, since the area was heavily spread with sleeping gas originating from Eternal Rest, the Allied Forces¡¯ struggle seemed inevitable. Until now, Dio has taken the lead in cutting down enemies, but he has not taken the lead as of now. It¡¯s not because I¡¯m afraid of the demonic beasts in the fog. As the field of view was blocked, there were clearly more things to be wary of than the demonic beasts in front of you. ¡®Galetto jumped out first. Then, Aldur and Elaine are the problem¡­.¡¯ Now that Eternal Rest has begun, I realize that a fierce battle of wits with the five swords of Dio has begun. After talking with Galleto, you must be even more careful since you are convinced that they are after your head. Dio thought about using a fake potion on the five swords before entering the sleeping area, but gave up on that idea. Because Aldur and Elaine had the keen eye to tell at a glance whether a potion was real or fake. In the end, Dio still had no choice but to take a defensive stance. The deeper you go, the thicker the sleeping gas becomes and blocks your vision. For the five swords who try to move while avoiding the eyes of others as much as possible, it is the optimal environment to carry out their mission. ¡°The speed has slowed down significantly. ¡°Is it okay if you don¡¯t come forward?¡± ¡°it¡¯s okay. ¡°What is most important to me is the safety of the prince.¡± ¡°Haha, this is really reassuring.¡± Prince Prion burst into laughter at Dio¡¯s bold words. In fact, Dio was only staying with the prince for his own safety. ¡®It¡¯s dangerous for me to move on the battlefield now. From here, I can only hope that the five swords will give up on me and deal with the magical beast in front of me.¡¯ Although it is a waste of experience, there is no need to risk your life by jumping into the fire pit. Dio planned to reach at least level 350 during this expedition. If that happens, you will be able to wear the level 350 set equipment currently in your inventory. Of course, level 400 items were also prepared step by step. Items after 400 are located in warehouses in the imperial capital and the Holy Kingdom of Atra. Anyway, I have taken the lead so far because I need to put a lot of effort into raising my level, but there is such a thing as the right time. Since Deathcruger¡¯s pattern is not exactly the same as what Dio knows, we must not forget to always prepare for unknown dangers. Saaa ¨C While Dio and Prian were examining the battlefield, a strong wind began to push away the fog from the front lines. ¡°They¡¯re moving.¡± ¡°Yes, I think I was waiting for the right time.¡± Dio appropriately responded to Prian¡¯s words. The ¡®they¡¯ that Prian and Dio were talking about were the five swords. Before starting this operation, Dio gave instructions to the five swords to save their respective organs. Of course, borrowing from Freean¡¯s words. The reason they only moved now is probably because they confirmed that Dio did not fall to Prian. Things weren¡¯t going too well for Dio. Quad-de-dude- A huge root that wraps around the chimeras, who swing their huge arms down at the knights. Elaine used her unique magic to spread the barrier widely and began to make the shield erected by the Allied Forces stronger. Whioooooo ¨C And Aldur¡¯s powerful wind magic continued to swirl. His magic temporarily blocked the fog, securing visibility, and the allied forces with clearer vision began to defeat the demon beasts more powerfully. ¡°Hahaha! Everyone, come at us!¡± And, unlike Aldur and Elaine, Galeto jumped into the front line from the beginning. Dio wasn¡¯t too worried because he was the type to go on a rampage without Prian giving orders. As he was on the verge of fighting Dio, his itchy muscles began to thrash with all their might, and the demonic beasts¡¯ heads were crushed. Puff poop! thud! bang! Aldur¡¯s clear vision meant that the five swords would not carry out the church¡¯s mission immediately. It would have been natural since Dio wouldn¡¯t let go of Prian even for a moment¡­ ¡®But you still have to be careful.¡¯ There wasn¡¯t a big problem if Dio moved now that the view was clear, but you never know. Dio slowly looked around the battlefield, determined to watch and move a little longer. Although he didn¡¯t come forward right away due to the wariness of the five swords, that didn¡¯t mean Dio wasn¡¯t active. Dio¡¯s command was applied to the Allied Forces, and because of this, the Allied Forces, which had established a disciplined formation, were not easily defeated even by the demonic ambushes. In addition, with the full-fledged activity of the five swords, the battle line gradually became more advantageous for the Allied forces. ¡®I hope Eveline and Roberto are doing well.¡¯ Now that Dio can¡¯t take personal advantage. However, Dio cannot just sit still and conduct. So he gave instructions to his companions. This is a special task that will allow you to grow through this stage. * * * Roberto was stationed at the front with the knights. His blood magic was effective in manipulating the blood of his enemies and turning them into mud, but unfortunately, the undead had no blood. However, it was not a big problem for Roberot to defeat his enemies. Although there is no blood magic, there is still martial arts. He had been training hard to be helpful to his companions, and fighting with limited visibility was not a big obstacle for Roberto. Roberto, who was dying of starvation in the cold of the North, was able to save his life thanks to Schuwald. It wasn¡¯t just about saving lives. He taught me how to live and was like a benefactor who helped me grow as a vampire, known as the master of the night. So, he easily adapted to the dark environment and was now dealing with enemies without difficulty thanks to Schuwald¡¯s teachings. thud! Roberto was looking in one direction, leaving the skeleton with its head blown off. The surrounding area was covered with a thick fog that made it difficult to identify enemies, but it was no problem for Roberto, a vampire. The person he is focusing on is none other than the five-handed sword Galeto. For Roberto, the only feeling he had towards Galleto was ¡®hatred.¡¯ It was natural because Schuwald, his teacher and benefactor, was almost killed by the author. In addition, all of my now precious colleagues almost lost their lives. Not only Dio and Sepia, but also Evelyn. When I thought of my colleagues lying in the hospital bed, the anger inside me that had been calmed rose again. If the environment were surrounded by fog like now, the author could have stabbed the author in the back. But Roberto didn¡¯t do that. Roberto recalled Dio¡¯s advice to him. -I will place you on the front lines with Galletto. -yes? -Forget about your hatred of Galletto for a moment. Don¡¯t even think about taking advantage of the melee to attack. Dio¡¯s words clearly penetrate Roberto¡¯s heart. There was a reason why Dio said this. -Your fighting style, excluding blood magic, is similar to Galetto. -You know that, right? That there is still a lot missing. Galetto is strong. No matter how much you hate your enemies, watch and learn from them. That¡¯s probably the best way you can get back at him right now. Those were painful words. But it didn¡¯t take long for Roberto to admit that he was right. Shuuk-pak! Galeto instantly caught the two arms that the chimera the size of a house had stretched out. Following that action, he broke one of the chimera¡¯s arms, then lifted up both of the chimera¡¯s legs and threw them down. Coo! Galletto, who instantly broke the chimera¡¯s balance, slammed his fist into its head and exploded it. ¡°Is this all! Bring your boss! Bring the lich! Haha!¡± Although it seemed like he was fighting ignorantly, every single one of Galetto¡¯s movements was clean and neat. Galetto¡¯s combat skill that simplifies unnecessary movements and demonstrates maximum power. Roberto S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. gritted his teeth as he watched Galletto shouting triumphantly. Just divided by the fact that I can¡¯t fight him right now. As Dio said, growing was even more important. ¡®I¡¯ll watch everything you do.¡¯ As Galletto became more active, Roberto stayed by his side and imitated his attacking style. Practice partners are everywhere. As Dio said, it was the optimal training environment for Roberto, and he increased his speed even more to become stronger. To become faster and stronger than now. * * * At the same time, Evelyn, like Roberto, had also received instructions from Dio. Evelyn muttered, ¡®This isn¡¯t it¡­¡¯ and concentrated her mind while holding the scythe of judgment with both hands. Tsuzuzuzu ¨C What Evelyn created by summoning a shadow was none other than the Shadow Armor. The current Shadow Armor was different from when it was used on Dio. Even though the designated target did not exist, the shadow armor was moving on its own. The inside of the armor had a shadow that resembled a human shape, and on the outside it looked like a ¡®Soul Knight¡¯ that moved only with the soul. The shadow armor didn¡¯t just stop at moving, it even swung the shadow sword to cut down demonic beasts and undead. ¡®Remember! His movements!¡¯ As Evelyn concentrated, the posture of the shadow armor became a little more stable and took a single stance. The posture Dio showed when using the forgotten sword technique [Island]. The shadow armor was now imitating Dio. -Shadow armor can strengthen allies, but it can also be used to create powerful summons. -Summon? What does that mean? -You can think of it as giving a behavior pattern. Like when controlling your familiars or orcs. -But the Shadow Armor isn¡¯t a living thing? -A shadow is the alter ego of a living being. Usually, if an artificial intelligence completely imitates a human, it is said to be a human, right? It¡¯s the same thing. -A.I? What does that mean? -Oh, that¡¯s it. Your shadow armor will remember my movements. Because it was put on my body once. -Well, okay. I¡¯ll try! But how come you know shadow magic better than me? Maybe even more than Master¡­ ¨C Keep that in mind. If you give the shadow autonomy, it will definitely follow suit. Evelyn recalled Dio¡¯s words as he ended his explanation, ignoring her last question. Evelyn had no way of knowing that it was Dio who discovered the hidden effect in the shadow armor. She thought that Dio¡¯s level of knowledge might be greater than that of her teacher, Calliope. Evelyn looked at the shadow armor, guessing that it was probably a gift given to him by the sun god. Kwagwagwagwa! Although he was still far from being able to completely imitate Dio, the power of the sun was released from the blade of the shadow armor that had at least reached the level of imitation. ¡°It¡¯s a success!¡± Evelyn, who succeeded in imitating the skill even though its power was weak, smiled brightly. But her joy was short-lived. Purr purr! A bizarre howling sound echoed throughout the battlefield where the melee was unfolding. Evelyn¡¯s expression immediately darkened as she discovered the owner of the roar. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 147 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 147Episode 147: In the midst of a fierce battle with fierce attacks. Even in the midst of this hectic situation, the Allied Forces could feel every single detail. Grunting ¨C A roar that seems to make the sky reverberate and the earth shaking violently in response. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°Unidentified object found ahead!¡± On one side of the battlefield, where Aldur had briefly opened their view, the mercenaries and knights discovered something and each shouted. Wow ¨C the fog that had been blown by the wind seemed to have gathered again, but that wasn¡¯t Eternal Rest. A deep demonic energy as dark as pitch black. The ominous darkness coalesced and took the form of a dimensional portal. A powerful spark appeared in the dimensional portal, and soon a being with enormous energy appeared. Skin that appears to have been burned all over the body. And the blood-red armor covering it. ¡®Centified Night. Well, it¡¯s about time it came out.¡¯ Dio, who was watching the battlefield next to Prian, also confirmed the existence of the Centipede Knight. Centipede Knight is at the highest level among undead monsters. It is one of the three-person rooms that occupies the highest seat among Descruger¡¯s subordinates. The Allied Forces prepared to respond immediately to the appearance of the Centipede Knight, who gave off an unusual vibe, and Artes was at the forefront. ¡°I¡¯m not an ordinary guy! Focus your attacks on him! Follow me!¡± Ates, who was in charge of supporting the front line from the rear, commanded the Knights of Vertio, which he was in charge of. But Dio¡¯s voice stopped his actions. ¡°stop! ¡°Don¡¯t go near him!¡± ¡°yes? Ah yes!¡± Artes did not understand why the dangerous elements were not removed first, but he followed Dio¡¯s orders without saying anything. It was natural that the orders of Dio, who was assisting Prian, took the highest priority. Googoo googung! Soon, the commanders, including Ates, were able to realize why Dio gave such an order. ¡°The ground is falling!¡± ¡°Get out!¡± The earth of the demonic world that had been shaking since a while ago. After violent shaking, the ground began to collapse, and the starting point was underneath the place where the Centipede Knight appeared. Kwagwagwagwa! A huge pillar rising from the ground. The pillar engulfed the soldiers who were unable to escape and tore through the collapsed ground even further. ¡°oh my god!¡± ¡°Whoop whoop!¡± The pillar, which was probably tens of meters long, was actually the body of a giant centipede. It did not look like a simple centipede. Its body had what appeared to be human corpses woven into every joint. Its appearance is too disgusting to just be called a centipede. The guy raised his huge body up, and the Senpitated Knight who appeared through the portal landed on top of it. Shhh! The giant centipede roared, and the Centipede raised his red sword above it. The ominous energy it gave off spread everywhere, and all the soldiers held their necks and vomited blood due to the miasma emitted by the giant centipede. ¡°Everyone step back! ¡°If you come into contact with its poison, it¡¯s fatal!¡± The Centipede Knight appeared in its full form from the beginning, and not even the outstanding Imperial Knights and Black Fang mercenaries could get close to it. Even without Dio¡¯s further urging, the Allied forces began to retreat on their own, but there were some who did the opposite. ¡°Hahaha! ¡°Has the right product finally appeared?¡± Galetto threw the half-halved body of the hell hound on the floor and started running forward as if excited. Did Sent Knight also feel the energy of a strong man? The guy swung his huge halberd at Galeto and fired a bloody slash. Quagwagwang! Galeto dodged the slash by flying his body, but he had no trouble avoiding the giant centipede¡¯s body being swung at him. Quang! ¡°Wow!¡± Galeto, which hit the centipede¡¯s body, flew far away, and Aldur and Elaine, who watched it, stopped what they were doing and immediately tried to join them. However, Dio and Prian stopped their actions. ¡°You guys have separate enemies to deal with.¡± ¡°What are you talking about? ¡°That guy is the most dangerous guy right now!¡± Elaine frowned and shouted at Dio¡¯s words. However, Dio still blocked Elaine and opened his mouth, pointing to the sky. ¡°Is that really true?¡± ¡°what?¡± Wooooow ¨C Black magic energy swirling like when Centipede appeared. It was another dimensional portal. Even two of them. Googoo googung! Once again, the ceiling shook violently, and two beings with the same seat as the Centipede Knight appeared within the portal. Gatekeeper Orovis. A monster with a horse¡¯s head attached to a human body. It looked similar to a Minotaur, but was twice as large and was armed with an iron bow appropriate for its size. And the last to appear was a wizard wearing a purple robe. Crimson Abyss Veris. No, he looked more like a hideous chimera than a wizard. His limbs were made of strange tentacles. ¡°Elain, take care of the horse head, and Aldur, take care of the wizard. ¡°If you are compatible, you will be able to handle it without difficulty.¡± ¡°I know someone will follow your lead!¡± ¡°Are you saying you won¡¯t follow my orders now?¡± Elaine shouted as if she was not pleased with Dio¡¯s command, but Elaine paused for a moment when she heard Prian¡¯s words next to her. Due to Elaine¡¯s personality, there was no need to pay attention to Prian¡¯s feelings, but it was because there were things Aldur had told her to do. As expected, Aldur grabbed Elaine¡¯s shoulder and persuaded her. ¡°I think it would be best to follow the prince¡¯s words for now. They are difficult to stop with ordinary soldiers. ¡°Only if we take action can we reduce the damage.¡± ¡°joy! ¡°I know without having to explain.¡± Elaine didn¡¯t like the idea of just listening to Dio. However, she was not thoughtless enough to ignore the newly appeared being, so she immediately started moving. ¡°I will help you, Galetto.¡± ¡°Please take care of me.¡± Elaine kicked the ground first, and Aldur gave Dio a brief greeting and then moved towards the enemies. ¡°Are you going to come out too?¡± Prian asked Dio. ¡°Yes, those monsters can be seen as Deathrugger¡¯s associates. I think I need to step forward before the damage to our allies increases. Just in case, I will place Ates next to the prince.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s response, Prian encouraged him. ¡°okay. You¡¯ve been through a lot. ¡°Take care of yourself.¡± It¡¯s only been less than 15 days. During that time, Prion relied on Dio more than anyone else here. Prince Prion is a man with a reputation for being tough and always sharp as he has fought through rough battlefields. It was a testament to how extreme Dio¡¯s trust was that the prince himself even gave him warm words telling him to be careful. If other nobles had seen this, they wouldn¡¯t have believed it with their own eyes. Dio nodded to Prian and took out the all-purpose jade. Dio created a great sword using the all-purpose jade. He stood up again and began to slowly walk towards Galetto, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Centipede Knight. * * * ¡®The second large-scale wave after Eternal Rest¡­and the trio. ¡®I guess it¡¯s no different from an all-out war, right?¡¯ Dio told Prian that he would participate in the war, but he did not enter the battle right away. At Prion¡¯s command, five swords are confronting Descruger¡¯s entourage. Five swords and three of Deathrugger¡¯s minions. Both groups were Dio¡¯s enemies. At this point, it would be a good idea to let go of the power of the five swords. ¡®Still, it would be better to save some strength.¡¯ Although Descruger¡¯s minions were strong, they were enemies that five swords were enough to defeat. The only problem is time. About two hours have passed since we entered the interior of Eternal Rest. There is about 1 hour left. No matter how many swords you have, if you don¡¯t have a resistance potion, you won¡¯t be able to easily resist the Eternal Rest. Eternal Rest is the unique magic of Descruger, also known as the Pentagram. ¡®But before that¡­¡¯ Dio turned his attention to Galeto, who was trying to attack the Centipede Knight while avoiding the giant centipede¡¯s body. Dio ¡®s eyes caught the giant leg of a centipede that had been torn off by Galeto¡¯s hand. Dio immediately started looking for someone with his fingers soaked in the centipede¡¯s blood that had soaked the floor. ¡°Roberto!¡± When he heard Roberto calling him, he turned his head and made eye contact with Dio. Even in the fierce battle between Galleto and the Centipede Knight, he did not back down and seemed to be busy protecting his movements. Dio summoned Roberto through a hand gesture, and Roberto moved without delay and approached Dio. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Despite Roberto¡¯s question, Dio simply held out a finger covered in sticky liquid without answering. ¡°¡­What is this?¡± ¡°The blood of that giant bastard.¡± ¡°So?¡± Roberto, unable to understand Dio¡¯s intentions, made an incomprehensible expression. ¡°You can trace blood with your abilities and blood magic, right?¡± ¡°of course. ¡°Vampires are especially sensitive to blood.¡± ¡°Then, can you tell me where that centipede monster dug its tunnel?¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯m not used to the blood of those guys¡­¡± Roberto thought for a moment and then transferred the blood from Dio¡¯s finger to his own. ¡°Oh, maybe because it has been aged for a long time, the body odor is very strong. ¡°I think this is enough to track that centipede even if it didn¡¯t bleed in the tunnel.¡± A vampire can tell a lot through the smell of blood. It doesn¡¯t matter if the tracked target doesn¡¯t necessarily splatter blood. This is because the body of a living being that has blood has the scent of blood permeating it. And the race that can find it is the vampire. ¡°good. Now leave Galletto alone and you figure out the giant centipede¡¯s path. As for safety¡­sepia will help you. ¡°Take him with you too.¡± The Centipede Knight crossed through the portal, but that giant creature broke through the ground and appeared on the battlefield. This is the most important part in attacking Descruger. However, even if you know the strategy, the role to carry it out is specific. Fortunately, there was a vampire among Dio¡¯s group who could solve this problem. ¡°Because you would be perfect for this job.¡± Only Roberto, who could use blood magic, could find traces of it in the water surface where he could not see clearly. ¡°You just need to find the entrance. Don¡¯t just go in there. ¡°Please let me know right away.¡± ¡°All right. ¡°Will Dio be here?¡± ¡°okay. I need to help that ignorant man. Of course, it will make you suffer a little more.¡± When Dio pointed to Galleto, Roberto nodded as if he understood. ¡°When I was looking at that man, I felt like I was touching something¡­ Anyway, I understand. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± After saying that, Roberto suddenly disappeared. Dio, who was left alone, walked straight towards Galleto. Kwagwagwagwa! thud! ¡°More more! ha ha ha!¡± Galeto is seen hitting the centipede¡¯s body with his entire body, breaking its center of gravity. In that gap, Galeto kicks the ground and attacks the Centipede Knight. However, the Centipede Knight wielding a red halberd was no slouch. ¡°Shall I gain some experience?¡± S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. So far, we have used a method of sharing experience by inflicting damage above a certain percentage with wide-range attacks. A last hit that can also be called the joy of hunting. Dio, who could not possibly hand over all of his experience to Galletto, straightened his hand holding the great sword. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 148 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 148Episode 148 The reason why Dio, who had been watching until now, came forward is simple. This was because each of the five swords was fighting a tough opponent. In this situation, it can be seen that there are no restrictions on Dio¡¯s actions until the trio falls. No matter how strong they are, they will not have the luxury of carrying out the mission given by the saint against the three Centipede Knight Horse-Headed Wizards. For these reasons, Dio only relaxed after Aldur and Elaine entered battle. Pot! A centipede knight and a giant centipede have their full attention on Galeto. Dio easily grabbed the guy from behind and swung his great sword strongly. Suddenly! Puhak! ¡°Keeeeeeek-!¡± What Dio was aiming for was the leg of a giant centipede. Dio¡¯s great sword, made of all-purpose jade, easily cut off the centipede¡¯s leg, causing a terrible liquid like scum to spread everywhere. Boom! The Centipede Knight¡¯s halberd reacted immediately and swung. The distance between the Centipede Knight and Dio was considerable, but he didn¡¯t mind at all. The slash coming from the tip of the halberd had enough power to threaten an opponent from afar. Quagwagwagwang! Dio quickly turned his body to avoid the slash and took his stance again. ¡°Hey, I have enough on my own.¡± Is it because the Centipede Knight¡¯s gaze was split in two? Thanks to this, Galletto, who had some free time, approached Dio and opened his mouth. ¡°It seemed like it was taking quite a while.¡± ¡°under! ¡°Get out of the way, I¡¯ll finish this soon.¡± Galletto, probably offended by the sarcasm in Dio¡¯s words, put his fists together and stepped forward. But Dio did not listen to Galletto. The reason I entered the battle in the first place was because I didn¡¯t want to lose my experience to Galletto. ¡°How about this? How about a competition to see who can get rid of that burnt knight first?¡± ¡°oh?¡± Dio accurately understands Galletto¡¯s personality. For him, persuading Galletto was easier than a piece of cake. ¡°Hahaha! That would be really fun. It was great! ¡°I¡¯ll have his head!¡± As expected, at the mention of a competition, Galetto¡¯s eyes immediately lit up with a desire to win. If Dio had entered the battle without this suggestion, it was clear that Galletto¡¯s pride would have been hurt. However, if the competition was used as an excuse, Galetto regarded it as entertainment and accepted it cheerfully. It will be more difficult to steal the last blow from Galletto, who has stimulated his competitive spirit like this, but it doesn¡¯t matter. As long as there is a system for gaining experience points based on contribution even if he loses the match, the experience points Dio will gain will not be small. It was a business that was unconditionally profitable. ¡®Still, it would be better to strike the last blow if possible.¡¯ The rule of the order board is that bonus experience points are given if you deal with the opponent directly. In particular, the bonus experience gained from last hits increases as you deal with stronger monsters. The opponent is Centipede Knight, one of the three men under Deathrugger. As long as I hit the last blow, no matter how bad I was, I could go up about 5 levels from my current level. Pot! Dio followed Galletto ahead and kicked the ground. Kwagwagwagwa! Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Because the centipede is so large, just moving around makes it quite threatening. It seemed easy to attack as the area was large, but that wasn¡¯t always the case. This is because the centipede¡¯s carapace has a defense that cannot be penetrated by most attacks. Empty! Galeto¡¯s attack, which surrounds the auror in its fist, fails to pierce the centipede¡¯s carapace and bounces off. Kagagak-! Dio knows that the upper¡¯s defense level is excellent. So, unlike Galletto, I persistently aimed for the legs like I did the first time. Suddenly! ¡°Kiiik!¡± As each leg fell off one by one, the giant centipede screamed and writhed in pain. Kwagwanggwang! However, Dio constantly swung his great sword to avoid the rampaging centipedes. Of course, since there were so many legs, it would take a long time to cut, but thanks to Dio¡¯s skillful cutting, the centipede¡¯s legs fell off. There was a reason why Dio was so persistent in targeting centipedes. It¡¯s not just because those numerous legs are the centipede¡¯s weak point. ¡®The centipede must die first before it can hit the centipede knight.¡¯ Dio has fought Centipede Knights more than once. He remembered the strategy created by various people. Among the abilities that the giant centipede has, the most difficult one is its super-regenerative ability. This ability does not apply to centipedes. This is an ability applied to a centipede knight with a combined soul. In fact, unless the centipede is defeated, the centipede knight is no different from having an immortal body. ¡°Just hold on! ¡°I¡¯m going to blow that guy¡¯s head off!¡± Galletto, unaware of this strategy, persistently targeted the centipede knight, not the centipede. And Dio didn¡¯t bother to tell him an efficient strategy. ¡®The more Galleto behaves, the more my contribution will increase. ¡®I¡¯m good.¡¯ Dio smiled to himself and faithfully carried out Galetto¡¯s words. Woe! Dio¡¯s slash, which draws out the power of the sun, is fired towards the centipede. The opponent is a single entity, but what Dio is targeting is the centipede¡¯s numerous legs. So, he spread the sun¡¯s power as wide as possible and hit the centipede¡¯s body. The carapace of the centipede that had been slashed was intact, but its legs were not. ¡°Keeeeeeek!¡± As the centipede¡¯s legs were immediately burned by Dio¡¯s attack, the centipede¡¯s terrible roar rang out, as if this attack proved to be a sufficient blow. ¡°die!¡± Galletto shouted and kicked the ground. The centipede knight¡¯s posture is disturbed due to the centipede writhing in pain. Galeto¡¯s new model, which could not have missed this opportunity, disappears in an instant. Faaah! Galeto¡¯s two fists, which flew high, began to be filled with intense electricity. Galletto¡¯s lightning strike shown when fighting Schuwald. Let¡¯s go! Galetto¡¯s fist hit the Centipede Knight¡¯s blood-red helmet. ¡°haha! Got it¡­.¡± Galetto was confident that the attack worked properly due to the feeling of the hand coming from the fist. Throwback ¨C A blood-red halberd that shakes off the electric current that still has an afterimage and swings. Galletto, who was caught off guard, had no time to dodge the halberd and barely crossed his arms to block the Centipede Knight¡¯s attack. ¡°Tsk!¡± Quang! At best, Galletto got right in front of the Centipede Knight, but was thrown to the ground again. ¡°Chwiiik-chwik!¡± The centipede let out a threatening cry towards Galletto, which was hit hard. I would already be dying from the pain of having my leg cut off, but it seemed like it wasn¡¯t so annoying that it latched onto me like a fly. ¡®Well, he probably didn¡¯t die.¡¯ Although the Centipede Knight¡¯s attack was strong, Dio, who did not think that Galletto would be attacked to this extent, concentrated on what he was doing. Thanks to Galeto¡¯s attention to the Centipede Knight, Dio was able to remove a significant portion of the centipede¡¯s legs. But you shouldn¡¯t give it time. Although it was not as good as the super regeneration applied to the Centipede Knight, the recovery power of the centipede itself was very excellent. ¡®The number of bridges removed is about 60%. If it¡¯s this much¡­¡¯ The defense power of the giant centipede¡¯s carapace is proportional to the number of legs. It is said that the defense power before the legs regenerate is reduced by 60%. If you try too hard to remove the remaining legs and end up regenerating them, all you have done so far will be in vain. So if you¡¯re thinking of launching a big attack, now is the time. ¡°Eveline!¡± At Dio¡¯s signal, the magic of Evelyn, who was watching behind him, was activated. Tsuzuzuzu ¨C The shadow armor created from Dio¡¯s shadow covered Dio like when he was fighting Luave. Dio felt his overall stats increase with the application of Shadow Armor. Chuck ¨C Dio put the greatsword on his waist, and soon the greatsword made of all-purpose jade began to change once again. The all-purpose jade that was recreated is a sword whose length reaches 2 meters. And the posture he was preparing now was the posture for casting ¡®Solar Strike¡¯, which he had learned by awakening to the power of the sun. Ping ¨C Dio, who had gathered the power of the sun, swung his arm without delay. ¡®Light¡¯ clearly exists even though thick fog covers the sky. That hot power began to be absorbed into Dio¡¯s body. Kwagak-! A blinding flash of light. And the time that the shadow surrounding that flash stayed in the air was literally a moment. After a shorter period of time than the eyelids blink once. thud! The centipede¡¯s huge body was split exactly in half. * * * ¡°Prince. ¡°What can we do?¡± ¡°nothing. ¡°Go get some beef jerky.¡± Prion and Ates, who were watching the five swords and Dio¡¯s activities, chewed beef jerky together and surveyed the situation. Although he spoke lightly, Prion¡¯s eyes did not miss Dio¡¯s movements as he defeated the giant centipede monster. ¡®To be overwhelming against such a monster. That¡¯s amazing. ¡®Do all transcendents have that level of power?¡¯ Prian thought of Gunther, the empire¡¯s strongest swordmaster. I have never properly confirmed his true skills, but Gunther must have the same level of strength as them. Gunther¡¯s position was so great that it was said that as long as Gunther supported him in the battle for the successor, he would be the crown prince. However, since Gunther is under the emperor¡¯s direct control, he is not involved in the struggle for a successor. So, the princes remembered the military presence by the emperor¡¯s side and worked hard to scout other talented people. Under these circumstances, it is perhaps natural that only Dio is visible to Prian. ¡®If only such a strong person would stand by my side¡­¡¯ It was Prian whose only goal was to successfully complete this expedition. However, once I saw this incredibly talented person in front of me, I couldn¡¯t help but become jealous. There are a total of 5 people in the Allied Forces who are strong enough for Prince Prian to covet. However, three of them were members of the Luna Church, so appeasement was virtually impossible, and one was a free mercenary king who did not like being affiliated. In that case, there is only one person left¡­. ¡®It¡¯s not just that I¡¯m strong. I¡¯m confident that I commanded the war to a certain extent, but¡­¡¯ Prian had experience in commanding the army that suppressed a huge rebellion that occurred in the western region. Because I achieved a great victory in the process, I was confident in my command. however. The overwhelming leadership demonstrated by Dio. Ability to cope with crises. Not only that, but his extensive knowledge of the magic world was even better than that of the magic tower owner, Aldur. Prian did not feel jealous or inferior, but rather evaluated him as an all-rounder and coveted him. ¡®Hmm¡­¡¯ The prince looked at Ates, who was scribbling something next to him. Did you say you keep a diary? Although she appears to have some odd talents, Artes also had an incredible background as the next head of the Bertio family. ¡®I didn¡¯t pay much attention to the East because it was so isolated¡­¡¯ Artes is also a talented person with useful military power and leadership skills. Even though she is the next head of a successful ducal family, honestly, there are some aspects that are lacking for Prince Prian to be interested in. Nevertheless, there is only one reason why Prian is interested in Artes. This was because he had traveled with Dio for a long period of time. ¡®You said we stopped the Ox invasion together. Since we went through life and death together, we must be strong.¡¯ Even if I wasn¡¯t necessarily acquainted with Dio, there was no harm in becoming acquainted with the next head of the Bertio family. ¡°Look here.¡± ¡°Yes, prince.¡± At the prince¡¯s call, Ates stopped writing. Prian, who made a social smile towards Artes, opened his mouth. ¡°I¡¯d like to get to know this friend named Dio in more detail.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 149 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 149Episode 149 Immediately after the giant centipede was defeated, a fierce battle between Centipede Knight and Galletto ensued. The tricky thing about Centipede Night is its super regeneration. However, Centipede Knight, who had lost his super regenerative abilities due to Dio, was slowly being pushed back by Galetto¡¯s fist. bang! Galletto¡¯s fist and the Centipede Knight¡¯s halberd collide. As if Galeto ¡®s ignorant power was shining, cracks slowly began to appear on the blood-stained halberd. ¡°The match is my victory!¡± This is the moment when Galletto, sensing victory, excitedly raises his fist. ¡°What happened all of a sudden¡­!¡± Galeto can withstand any attack with his bare body. However, I felt scared by the tremendous force coming from behind and instinctively avoided it. Boom! Wedge! A spear passes by Galeto, making a thunderous sound. The spear pierced straight through the Centipede Knight¡¯s head. Poseok-! No, it wasn¡¯t just about piercing it. Does the powerful power within the spear spread from the pierced head? The power of the sun began to condense throughout the Centipede Knight¡¯s body, soon creating a massive explosion. Kwagwagwagwagwang! With a patter, the remains of the Centipede Knight splashed towards Galetto. Galletto, who was quite startled by the scene that suddenly unfolded, looked back and sighed. And I could see it. Dio, the owner of the spear that killed the Centipede Knight with one blow. ¡°I think I won the match?¡± * * * ¡°This is invalid! again!¡± ¡°He¡¯s dead, what can I do again?¡± Dio moved slowly, ignoring Galletto who was fussing. Dio was able to gain a lot of experience thanks to this, even though he consumed a unique grade spear strengthened with the blessing of the sun and enchantment. It couldn¡¯t have been a very satisfying battle for him. As Galletto could not accept the match and took unexpected action, Dio quickly joined Prian. Prian watched Dio¡¯s battle despite the thick fog. This was possible because the giant centipede generated wind every time it moved, ensuring visibility. Anyway, Prian easily won and welcomed Dio back. ¡°Good job.¡± ¡°It was no big deal. ¡°What happened to the others?¡± Hwaak ¨C Dio asked Prian, but instead of his answer, a strong wind answered Dio¡¯s question. Aldur¡¯s wind magic has the power of Circle 8 in proportion to the power he has. A strong wind began to rise around where Dio and Prian were, and the surrounding field of view also became clearer. ¡°We¡¯ve just finished it too.¡± Aldur and Elaine appeared through the cleared fog. Behind them, like a hedgehog, there was a body that had been turned into a field of arrows and was completely charred without a trace. The two corpses were the gatekeeper and the wizard. ¡®My experience was a waste.¡¯ Dio just lost his appetite because he couldn¡¯t get the experience points. But greed brings anger. I was satisfied with this as I had leveled up significantly just by dealing with the Centipede Knight. ¡®You went up to level 8 in an instant. By the way, those two are definitely stronger than Galletto.¡¯ Of the three Deathcruisers, the Centipede Knight was the most difficult, but thanks to Dio and Galletto working together, they were able to deal with it quickly. However, Aldur and Elaine finished in a similar time frame to Dio, even though they each faced the trio alone. ¡®Is it natural that Galletto is evaluated as the weakest among the five swords?¡¯ NPCs who have reached transcendence have attracted a lot of interest from users with their mere existence. According to the experience of the deceased, Galeto was barely able to hold the position of five swords within the Luna Church. Of course, now that there is no Sigmund, who will be in the position of ¡®judge¡¯, Galetto¡¯s ranking may have risen by one level, but it is not that important. Because it doesn¡¯t change the fact that Aldur and Elaine are stronger than Galeto. Dio spoke to Aldur, who was catching his breath after killing the wizard. ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± ¡°It was no big deal. You don¡¯t have any injuries either. ¡°He didn¡¯t seem like an easy opponent.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I fight alongside you, Galetto?¡± Dio, who responded to Aldur¡¯s words, pointed to Galletto, who was still grumbling because he was not satisfied with the victory. ¡°Sheesh, I could have finished it.¡± ¡°Hehe, it looks like you¡¯re quite upset.¡± Aldur took one look at Galletto, who was showing off his anger, and continued speaking with an inexplicable smile. ¡°It looks like the battle is over, so let¡¯s get out of here quickly. ¡°There are limits to the ability to blow away fog with my wind magic.¡± Aldur said that there is a limit to neutralizing sleeping gas with wind magic. As soon as Aldur¡¯s words left his mouth, the surrounding area was once again covered in fog. That¡¯s why Aldur urged everyone. But¡­ ¡°Wait a moment. ¡°Our work here is not done yet.¡± Now is the time for the old character¡¯s strategy to shine. Dio began to look around the foggy surroundings due to Eternal Rest. ¡°After everything has been taken care of, what are we waiting for? The effect of the potion is not long left. If you¡¯re not careful¡­¡± ¡°Dio!¡± A voice calling Dio¡¯s name rang out, cutting off Aldur¡¯s words. Dio, the five swords, and Prince Prian, who were gathered in one place, focused their attention on the owner of the voice. The people who appeared through the thick fog were none other than Sepia and Roberto. ¡°I found it.¡± People who didn¡¯t know the situation were confused by Roberto¡¯s report, but Dio was different. ¡°Prince Prian. Gather all your troops. From now on we will move through the underground.¡± * * * Is it because most of the Allied forces remaining in the Demonic Region are made up of veterans? Even in a battlefield where visibility was limited due to Eternal Rest, it did not take long for the scattered soldiers and knight mercenaries to come together. Those who knew how to use magic, including Aldur, temporarily cleared the fog and the allied forces gathered in front of the huge cave that Roberto had found. ¡°Prince. ¡°Everything is ready.¡± The imperial commander announced that the Allied forces were ready. ¡°I understand.¡± Prince Prian nodded to the commander and looked at Dio next to him. ¡°You mean we have to pass by here?¡± ¡°yes. This is a burrow dug by a giant centipede. ¡°The fact that a large centipede is quickly deployed to the battlefield means that Deathrugger is nearby.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ That makes sense, but it seems dangerous. ¡°It won¡¯t collapse, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The passageway created by the centipede is also used by Deathrugger to move his demonic beasts. ¡°He must have taken measures to prevent the ground from collapsing even if he did not want to bury his subordinates alive.¡± Prian was briefly impressed by Dio¡¯s explanation. Dio¡¯s decision was to analyze the opponent¡¯s power and take advantage of their advantage. He wondered if something like this was included in Solari¡¯s revelation, but he thought to himself that it couldn¡¯t be so. A trust only tells the destination, and the ability to resolve matters is solely up to the person who received the trust. Prian believed in Dio¡¯s ability to solve the problem and immediately gave the order. Although the tunnel dug by the centipede was very large, it was not large enough for five hundred allied forces to enter at once. ¡°Enter in line!¡± Prion quickly grasped the geographical characteristics and issued commands accordingly, and the troops in formation began to quickly enter the cave. The Allied forces moved skillfully through the tunnels, but soon their speed slowed down significantly in the darkened space. ¡°It¡¯s getting darker. ¡°I think we should turn on the lights.¡± ¡°it¡¯s okay. As the cave is wide, the light from the ground will illuminate the way ahead. Rather, dark adaptation can only speed things up.¡± After speaking to Prion, Dio immediately raised his fist to signal a stop, and the Allied forces stopped moving. ¡°stop! From now on, slow down a little and adapt to the darkness!¡± After Dio¡¯s order was given, the Allied Forces began to reorganize and quickly adapt to the darkness. After about 10 minutes, Dio decided that this was enough and gave the order to speed up again. The centipede¡¯s tunnel was very winding and like a maze. Moreover, the centipede¡¯s path was not just straight. Because there were uphill and downhill slopes, simply moving around was quite difficult. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Nevertheless, Dio knew that this route was much safer and faster than heading to the ground. ¡°Let¡¯s speed things up a little more. Sleeping gas has not been completely avoided. ¡°If we delay here, gas will fill this place as well through the polluted land.¡± Just because going through the tunnel is safer than going through the Eternal Rest head on doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s really safe. Moreover, what awaits the Allied Forces, who have just broken through the halfway point, is the end of the dark zone called the ¡®Dark Zone¡¯. It is a place where powerful monsters are naturally created under the influence of demonic energy deep within the demon realm. Dio chose the current route because the Allied Forces moving through the tunnels would gain an advantage just by moving to avoid them. It would have been nice to gain experience points if I had caught them all. However, not only did Dio not come alone, but he had to time it well. ¡°Speed up!¡± Prian¡¯s order quickly spread to the Allied forces, and the soldiers in the advance guard also began to speed up even more. ¡°There is a downhill road ahead. ¡°It looks quite deep.¡± Agram, who had bright eyes at night, reported to Prian. ¡®It¡¯s almost now.¡¯ Dio, who was listening from the side, had a hunch that he had reached the end of the centipede¡¯s den. The very steep downhill slope marks the inflection point of the centipede¡¯s den. According to Dio¡¯s experience, the steep uphill road that follows this downhill road is probably the starting point of the centipede¡¯s den. * * * As Dio expected, the Allied Forces went down the slope carefully to avoid slipping, and encountered an uphill road that was almost like a cliff. ¡°The slope is steeper than I thought?¡± ¡°There will be no problem in increasing each individual¡¯s ability, but everyone is exhausted.¡± The Allied forces were not able to climb up the hill quickly. After finishing the battle at Eternal Rest and passing through the Centipede Den without any rest, the Allied Forces were depleted of a lot of their stamina. Although the number of allied forces was reduced, the number of 500 troops was by no means a small number. Since a march of this scale was considered unreasonable, it was inevitable that even members of the so-called elite would exert themselves. ¡°I don¡¯t know what will be waiting for me when I get to the ground, so isn¡¯t it dangerous to push ahead like this?¡± ¡°okay. However, it is not possible to recover your stamina here.¡± Dio was lost in thought for a moment at Prion¡¯s words. Some Eternal Rest are spread out inside the cave. The remaining time for the potion is about 30 minutes. Here, if five hundred or a large army cannot climb this steep cliff, they will fall asleep. If that happens, fatal damage to the troops is certain. This is not unexpected, but it would be a problem if a fight breaks out as soon as you go to the ground. ¡®There is a 50/50 chance that there are demonic beasts camped in front of the cave. I don¡¯t mind, but I don¡¯t know if the soldiers will be okay.¡¯ If you look at the soldiers¡¯ strength alone, they were easy enough to deal with, but after climbing the cliff, it won¡¯t be easy due to your physical strength. Dio thought as he looked up at the endless cliffs. It was so high that no obvious hole in the ground was visible, and only the upward airflow indicated that there was an exit on the ground. ¡°You look like you¡¯re in a lot of trouble.¡± Dio was lost in thought for a while when someone¡¯s voice woke him up. ¡°Everyone is very tired. ¡°Right now, I wouldn¡¯t have the power to notice anything that happens.¡± As Aldur spoke meaningful words, Dio looked at him. Dio is now separated from everyone and investigating the cliff in front of him. Dio sensed that Aldur was acting strangely, but without showing it, he opened his mouth. ¡°what do you mean?¡± ¡°Besides, it¡¯s this dark. If someone¡¯s going to do something, don¡¯t you think now would be a good time?¡± Aldur does not answer Dio¡¯s questions and only speaks on his own. Now the distance to the other person is very close. All of Dio¡¯s nerves were focused on Aldur. Did you notice this? Before Dio could react, Aldur¡¯s arm was stretched out. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 150 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 150Episode 150 Even in the deep tunnel, Dio could clearly see Aldur. Aldur¡¯s blue hair. Perhaps because it has dried, the two snowballs feel deeper. Before the other person took action, Dio thought about moving first, but soon stopped. Dio¡¯s knowledge of Aldur through the game. If that were all Dio would have done something before he approached. But now, Dio had new information that he had never experienced in the game. This is the image of Aldur seen through the crystal ball shown by Calliope. What I learned there is that Calliope and Aldur have been friends for a long time. Of course, there was great friction between the two and Calliope was injured, but Calliope was not particularly hostile to Aldur. Dio asked Calliope about this, and she gave him an indifferent answer. -There would be a lot of people watching, so he probably had no choice but to move. -Aldur is the wisest person I know. Even though he is on the side of the moon, I believe that he will always side with us when he faces the truth. So Dio chose. I don¡¯t believe in Aldur. He says he trusts Calliope, who still considers him a close friend. Of course, this is a decision that is possible because Dio himself has achieved some level of growth. The current Dio is not weak enough to be taken by surprise by Aldur. ¡°Relax. ¡°There are a lot of things I want to ask you.¡± Does this mean it¡¯s not time yet? In any case, as Dio expected, Aldur did not seem to have any intention of attacking right now. The one who controlled the five swords so far was none other than Aldur. If Aldur had made up his mind and tried to do something to Dio, he would not have been able to get through the demonic world as easily as he did now. ¡°I think now is the time you need me.¡± What Dio was worried about was the stamina of the Allied Forces. But what if there was Aldur¡¯s magic? If you use this, there will be no problem at all in moving up such a steep hill. Dio was aware of this, but there was a reason why he did not ask Aldur. In order to send the entire Allied Forces up, no matter how much Aldur does, it will inevitably be extremely difficult. They had saved up their strength in a situation where there might be some danger waiting for the Allied Forces once they got on the ground, but they did not think that they would waste it here. ¡°¡­Are you going to be okay?¡± Dio¡¯s words, asking if he was okay, contained various meanings, but Aldur seemed to understand and smiled. ¡°Haha, are you worried about this old man? This is disappointing. Of course, as you know, we have our own missions, but¡­amn¡¯t I part of the expedition too? ¡°I have to do what I can.¡± Aldur clicked his fingers. Hwaak ¨C The rising air current heading towards the ground began to rush strongly. If you ride this rising air current, you will be able to ascend without much effort. ¡°Then, let¡¯s go first with the prince. ¡°I have to keep the magic going, so I¡¯ll go last.¡± ¡°thank you.¡± Dio nodded and expressed his gratitude at Aldur¡¯s words. ¡®What is he thinking¡­¡¯ It is difficult, even for Dio, to accurately predict Aldur¡¯s unpredictable actions. However, since Aldur¡¯s help was desperately needed, at least from the Allied Forces¡¯ perspective, Dio accepted it. ¡°To the advance guard! The effect of the potion is almost over! ¡°Move quickly!¡± The wind created by Aldur caused the Allied Forces¡¯ gravity to rise, and the Allied Forces¡¯ recalled voices echoed through it. ¡°Oooh! ¡°I¡¯m flying!¡± ¡°hey! What if I¡¯m holding on to the wall? ¡°Hands off!¡± ¡°I¡¯m just going to crawl.¡± The soldiers had maintained a restrained appearance until now, but because the experience of flying was so unfamiliar, they showed a disheveled appearance. The Allied Forces were as excited as children trying out a trampoline for the first time. It was quite a comical sight, but I took the situation seriously again as my life was at stake. Whioooooo ¨C Dio also got on the updraft with Prian and quickly began to rise above the ground. ¡°The advance team must protect the exit in defensive form!¡± Dio, who arrived on the ground first, immediately began commanding the troops. Thanks to Aldur¡¯s magic, it went up quickly, but it took time for the entire Allied Forces to go up. Especially for the latecomers who have not yet been able to escape, the duration of the resistance potion they have taken is not long. ¡°There are no enemies in sight.¡± A land where there is no longer fog that obstructs visibility. This meant that it was outside the realm of Eternal Rest. Moreover, contrary to Dio¡¯s worries, there was no misfortune caused by demonic beasts attacking him. But it is still too early to be reassured. ¡°Don¡¯t let your guard down. ¡°The advance guard searches the east.¡± ¡°All right.¡± After settling on the ground, Dio began to skillfully command his troops. According to Dio¡¯s instructions, the troops who arrived first established defenses to allow the later troops to enter safely. ¡®This is the centipede¡¯s starting point, right?¡¯ The location of the huge tunnel created by the Centipede Knight¡¯s mount is not set in stone. Of course, the location is not exact, but Dio knows that the area in which the centipede operates is clearly defined. ¡®Among the three, Centipede Knight is always close to Deathrugger.¡¯ Unless moving through a tunnel, the player will always encounter a Centipede Knight within a 5km radius of the Deathcruiser. The giant centipede is the highest-class creature among the Abomination types summoned by Luave. This means that the fraudulent ability of super regeneration is not there for nothing. Because of this, there is a distance limitation to control, and this was something Dio had already found out by investigating and attacking Deathrugger dozens of times. ¡®The ground is hard and dark. ¡®You have entered a dark zone.¡¯ If Dio¡¯s thoughts are correct, the distance between Deathcruger and the Allied Forces has reached the very end. ¡®You don¡¯t have to worry about Eternal Rest anymore until you get to that pattern. ¡®Better rest.¡¯ Dio, who saw that the Allied Forces were moving up one after another, immediately approached Prian. ¡°Do you think it would be better to move right away?¡± ¡°no. I think it would be a good idea to stock up on stamina here. Fortunately, there don¡¯t seem to be any demonic beasts nearby¡­.¡± As soon as the Allied Forces¡¯ rear troops, including Aldur, were all on the ground, Prion immediately allowed them to rest. Of course, while maintaining vigilance of the surroundings. ¡°Is it finally time to rest?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a really terrible place. ¡°See if I ever come to the devil¡¯s palace again.¡± ¡°But as long as I return alive, won¡¯t I have to worry about money for the rest of my life?¡± ¡°Kkkk, of course. ¡°Even the cheapest thing we brought was the precious hellhound skin.¡± The Black Fang mercenaries sat down and flirted with each other. Is this a room where they can relax in their own way? Or is it because he already received an advance payment from Dio, plus a huge amount of loot? Even though the mercenaries were in a situation where their lives were at stake, they did not seem to have much to worry about. Unlike those mercenaries, knights take a rest in a dignified manner. They also seemed to have a lot of thoughts of their own. As there have been no major problems up to now, his extra caution was worthy of being called an elite knight. While everyone was enjoying a moment of rest, a cold wind blew. This wind did not blow from the magic world, nor was it the magic created by Aldur. Did you feel that eerieness? The resting knights and mercenaries instinctively stood up and grabbed their swords. [I guess I looked funny too.] Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As a dark voice rang out on the wind, the Allied forces regained their sense of the released tension. Realizing that something was nearby, the allied forces tried to prepare for battle before the prince¡¯s command was given, but the creepy voice was much faster. [It¡¯s like not recognizing that death has arrived¡­] The voice begins to laugh. Suddenly, as soon as the voice stopped, the wind that was blowing also disappeared. As if asking when the wind blew. As if the only background that suits this place is silence. The Allied forces spent a considerable amount of time in Makyeong. Still, it was unfamiliar. Is it because of the voice I just heard? Or is it because of the Shinigami floating in that ominous demonic sky? A voice that gives the Allied Forces a sense of microscopic reality is heard again. [Worship before death.] * * * Descruger¡¯s scarlet eyes slowly moved and took stock of the surrounding situation. ¡®You ants¡­ where are you?¡¯ Descruger looked at the Eastern Allied Forces, who looked quite exhausted. But I couldn¡¯t let down my guard. These are people whose skills are guaranteed to be able to overcome so many legions of demonic beasts and reach this place. Moreover, among those whom Descruger called ants, there were some annoying people. Luna¡¯s dogs. ¡®You managed to cross the passage created by Abomination.¡¯ Deathrugger was unable to immediately respond to the Allied Forces¡¯ trick of using the tunnel created by the giant centipede. Eternal Rest was a magic powerful enough to guarantee its power among the magic that Deathrugger could use. However, because it was so powerful, it became poison to Deathrugger himself. The problem is that it takes time to understand the battlefield situation hidden by Eternal Rest. The mana required to maintain Eternal Rest is enormous. Even Deathcruger, no matter how much he mastered magic, was unable to grasp the movements of the Allied Forces while maintaining Eternal Rest. Deathcruger thought he had sufficiently maintained the Eternal Rest, so he withdrew his magic and immediately explored it. I was certain that everyone would be in an eternal sleep, but that expectation was clearly wrong. Descruger, who explored the demonic landscape, learned that the Allied forces had arrived right in front of the dark zone. I realized too late that they had moved through an underground tunnel. ¡®Luna¡¯s dogs are not the problem. Commanding this allied force¡­¡¯ Descruger focused his gaze on a black-haired human emitting a strange current among the many people looking up at him. The apparent amount of power does not seem to be as great as Luna¡¯s dogs. But¡­ ¡®It¡¯s strange.¡¯ Descruger was concerned about the strange aura coming from that black-haired human. Is it really an illusion that it feels more ominous than the ¡®death¡¯ you have experienced? ¡®He must be the center of these annoying bugs.¡¯ Even though Deathrugger had great power given to him by the Demon King, he did not fight ignorantly. His true form is a wizard. He was also the owner of the Magic Tower, renowned for being the wisest. Among Luna¡¯s dogs, there seems to be a later demon tower master, but compared to him, it¡¯s a sad Deathruger. ¡®If you can destroy the center, the rest is easy.¡¯ When Deathrugger was a human, he participated in many wars. The reason he was able to move the demonic army so skillfully was because of his experience leading numerous wars to victory. ¡®If we deal with that guy first¡­¡¯ With a clear target in mind, Descruger increased his power. But¡­ ¡®Is it right to deal with him first? No¡­Can I kill that guy?¡¯ A question that suddenly came to Descruger. Descruger, who had never thought like this about any enemy, felt an unfamiliar feeling to himself. There was an ominous feeling about that black-haired person. It was as if he was warning me not to confront him. The guy laughs. And then he mutters something. ¡®Hidden Quest? What is it?¡¯ A human being more sinister than death. The words that man spoke were unfamiliar even to Descruger, who had lived for a thousand years. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 151 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 151Episode 151: Deathrugger appears in person with orange eye glow. He had the appearance of a skeleton covered in robes like a typical lich. However, there was one thing that was different from ordinary lichs: the color of the bones that made up his body was navy blue, not white. Could it be that the incorruptible bones have rotted away? The ominous-colored skull was extremely creepy. In addition to this external appearance, he has a voice that sounds like scraping metal, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he looks like a ¡®reaper¡¯. However, Dio, who had already encountered Deathcruger among the Allied Forces, was not particularly impressed by his appearance. No, I was nervous about the fact that he appeared in front of me like this, but the tension disappeared like the snow melting as the hidden quest unfolded before my eyes. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Hidden Quest: Lead the Allied Forces and defeat Acrich.] Content: Descruger, a follower of the Demon King, dreams of the resurrection of the Demon King who was sealed a thousand years ago. Dongbu, which found out about this in advance, gathered its strength and led the Allied forces. We must eliminate Acrich to delay the resurrection of the Demon King. If the subjugation is not successful within the time limit, the Demon King who will burn the continent will descend much faster. [Reward: Player¡¯s current level +10 and acquisition of ¡®Power of Faith¡¯ skill.] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The quest received now was the same as, but different from, the quest Dio received in the game. If it were exactly the same, there would be no reason for Dio to focus his attention on the system window like this, leaving Deathruger aside. The content is the same. To kill Deathrugger. However, the compensation part is different. First of all, the reward that increases the current level by 10, not experience points, is the original reward. You might think it¡¯s a place you should only come to in the very late stages because it increases your absolute ¡®level¡¯ rather than experience points. It was a hidden quest that had no choice but to come quickly and receive it since it could not be received after the Demon King was resurrected. However, in addition to this, it was Dio¡¯s first time being given a new skill. ¡±The power of faith¡¯! This is a skill I know.¡¯ ¡®Power of faith¡¯ was a skill possessed by Luna¡¯s saint, Kaleina, so it was a skill that Dio also knew in detail. When you use a skill, you gain additional abilities depending on the number of believers in the same god. So, using the power of faith, Kaleina is able to generate power comparable to the strongest in the world. It is clearly a fraud skill, but it is important to note that it is a fraud skill because Kaleina uses it. This is because a significant number of people living in the Order Board believe in the Luna Church. However, if Dio uses it, it cannot be expected to be as effective as when Kaleina used it. Unfortunately, Solari has been a forgotten god for a thousand years and not a single proper church has been built. ¡®Should I build a church for this¡­?¡¯ Dio was already preoccupied with thoughts of compensation. Although it is said that many things are assumed, in fact, it is safe to say that the subjugation of the eastern part itself will be an unconditional success. In the first place, the power gathered now was so powerful that not even Deathrugger could do anything about it. [Convert!] Dio, who was momentarily distracted by the quest reward, returned to his senses thanks to Deathcruger¡¯s voice. The demonic spirit reacted to Deathcruger¡¯s voice and began to deteriorate. Gulp gulp- ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Is the floor melting?¡± As the solid ground suddenly became sloppy like a swamp, the Union troops who were in position lost their balance for a moment. [Wake up!] Deathrugger¡¯s voice continues. As a result, countless demonic beasts and undead rose up from the distorted land of the demon world. They had different characteristics from the common demons and plagues they had fought so far. The whole body was covered in a black film, and it looked like a shadow was walking around. ¡®Did you care about Sephia and Evelyn? If that happens, it will be difficult to use the shadows.¡¯ One of the reasons why dealing with Deathrugger is difficult. If you are a Deathrugger who has watched the battle ahead, you will come up with a strategy to prepare for it. As long as you can solve it with your own abilities. If Sepia¡¯s level had been higher, Deathrugger¡¯s preparation would have been useless, but not now. That army of magical beasts coated with demonic energy by the power of Deathcruger will minimize the effectiveness of Sepia¡¯s divine power or Evelyn¡¯s shadow. ¡®Now I have no choice but to take it head on.¡¯ Dio looked at the Allied Forces, who were frozen at the appearance of Deathcruger. Although they are exhausted, the Allied Forces have arrived here without any major injuries so far. And the same goes for Deathcruger, who also consumed mana. Dio spoke to Prian, who was looking up at Descruger with a worried expression. ¡°Prince. Please give us marching orders. ¡°With the strength of the Allied Forces, we will never be pushed back.¡± Prian came to his senses after hearing Dio¡¯s words of assurance and quickly raised his sword and shouted to everyone. ¡°Shield soldiers go forward! Be careful not to get surrounded. ¡°The Imperial Army and Eastern Knights take charge of the left and right outskirts, respectively!¡± In response to Prian¡¯s cry, the Allied forces made immediate moves. ¡®If it¡¯s Prian, he¡¯ll do well.¡¯ Dio thought as he looked at Prian, who was skillfully commanding the battlefield. As it is the final battlefield, Dio must be removed from command. In that case, it would have been better for Freen to lead it himself. Now there is an all-out war with Descruger. Dio decided that he would be able to deal with Prian, who had a lot of experience, without any problems. ¡®I¡¯m going to face Deathrugger. It seems like the Luna Church has already moved.¡¯ There are powerful demonic beasts positioned near Descruger, and Descruger himself is floating in the air. Accordingly, with Galletto in the lead, they were clashing with the demonic beasts to approach the five black Deathcruisers. Dio, who was watching the five swords struggling, also tried to approach them, but stopped for a moment and looked to the side. This is because, unlike the knights who were just entering battle with the demonic beasts, Agram and his mercenary group were seen moving lukewarmly even under Prian¡¯s command. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Ah, our client has arrived.¡± Agram answered Dio¡¯s question calmly. Even as they were talking, the battle between the demonic beasts and the knights was becoming more intense. ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re checking the liver right now?¡± ¡°Exactly.¡± Dio immediately noticed the movements Agram and his mercenaries were making. These are people whose only goal is money. Although they are willing to risk their lives for money, their principle is not to participate in battles they have no chance of winning. Agram was able to know this through his accumulated experience. The strength of Descruger. The final battle taking place now is so risky that victory cannot be guaranteed. Dio was confident that the current Allied Forces would never be defeated by Deathcruiser, but Agram did not know that fact. That is why Agram did not go to battle. ¡°I guess the story of giving an artifact in return has already ended?¡± Dio reminded him of his promise to pay for the highest quality artifact, but Agram shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s different from the contract we had last time. ¡°At that time, I was asking the Luna Church to protect you, but isn¡¯t the situation a lot different now?¡± Dio clicked his tongue when Agram said that the money was not right. Truly, there is no such thing as a money demon. But I couldn¡¯t help it. Because the mercenary group also belonged to the allied forces that Dio had assumed. If those mercenaries are reluctant to participate in the battle and the damage is severe, Dio will also be in trouble in many ways because his plans have gone awry. ¡°We will take care of it for you, so join us. ¡°If you¡¯re a royal, wouldn¡¯t it be better to reveal your greed for money appropriately?¡± Dio¡¯s words thrown out at Agram. Agram¡¯s eyes opened wide at his words. ¡°¡­What does that mean all of a sudden?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t act like a fool. ¡°Because I know everything.¡± Agram never told anyone that he was royal. Even to his own Black Fang mercenaries. So you can¡¯t help but be surprised. Excluding this subjugation of the Demon Lord, the fact that a stranger whom he has never known before knows his identity. ¡°If you keep going like that, you could miss out on a good opportunity.¡± Dio knows why Agram is so desperate for money. It¡¯s not just because he¡¯s a mercenary. Agram, the fallen royal family, wants only one thing. ¡°Do you want to rebuild your kingdom?¡± ¡°Haha, there¡¯s really nothing I don¡¯t know.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Agram nodded, his surprise still not gone. ¡°Let me make you a promise. ¡°If you don¡¯t run away now and fight against the demon beast¡­¡± Dio continued, pointing to the battlefield where the battle was in full swing. ¡°I will pay the full cost of rebuilding your kingdom. ¡°I, too, am planning to establish a castle of Solari.¡± With these words, Dio turned his back. No more words are needed. Dio assured that Agram would have no choice but to accept his offer. The only person who knows his secret is Dio. Agram may not know if Dio really has the wealth to rebuild the kingdom, but if there is a glimmer of hope that he can achieve his goal. ¡®You¡¯ll have no choice but to rely on me.¡¯ Agram showed immediate movement as Dio expected. He led a mercenary group and immediately entered the battle. ¡®The greater the prince¡¯s merit, the better it is for me¡­¡¯ In order to maximize the merit Prian can obtain, the loss of troops must be minimized. That is why a mercenary group was absolutely necessary. Agram must have joined in as well. Now all Dio has to worry about is Deathrugger. Dio slowly moved towards the Deathcruger floating in the air. * * * S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Quagwang! Every time Deathrugger waved his hand, a huge explosion occurred on the ground. Black flames soaring with the explosion. It was ¡®Hellfire¡¯ that could only be used by wizards who mastered the dark attribute. Pubububung! Grumbling! ¡°damage! ¡°Don¡¯t approach the lich!¡± ¡°Kwaaaaaak!¡± Knights who retreat from Deathrugger¡¯s magic. If there were hell, it might look like this. Around Descruger, black flames burned endlessly and engulfed the five swords. ¡°Tch, it¡¯s not that annoying.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will protect you.¡± Galeto grumbled as he brushed off the black flames stuck to the hem of his clothes, but there was no significant damage. It was thanks to Aldur¡¯s shield that responded to Hellfire. Currently dealing with Deathrugger are three men with five swords. And Dio, who appeared late, joined the battle, taking only Sepia with him. No, rather than joining, I was watching the situation from behind. Quagwagwagwang! While the five swords are competing with Deathrugger in front, Dio is in a position behind them. Dio continued to analyze the situation. ¡®Deskruger is making quite a good save.¡¯ Considering the strength each individual possesses, Deathrugger is not strong enough to deal with five swords. But this is Descruger¡¯s home ground. If you think about the power that Descruger can produce considering the geographical characteristics, it is understandable that it is not pushed around as easily as it is now. ¡®It looks like the five swords are pretty tired¡­ Do you think this will be okay?¡¯ Dio also knew detailed strategies for dealing with Deathcruger. The reason why Dio did not explain to the five swords was to drain their stamina. If they defeat Deathrugger without wasting their strength, Dio¡¯s danger level increases accordingly. ¡®Still, it¡¯s not good to take too much time.¡¯ Dio sensed that the time was right and began to move forward in earnest. ¡°sepia. Are you ready?¡± ¡°yes.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Sephia took out a jeweled staff as if she was ready at any time. A level 300 unique staff taken from the warehouse. It¡¯s unfortunate that it¡¯s not legendary, but it¡¯s enough to support Sepia¡¯s power. ¡°Use it when you give the signal. From now on, we will deal with him with all our might.¡± ¡°all right.¡± Dio left Sepia behind and kicked the ground. Even if you participate later here, there is no problem in defeating Deathrugger. However, the more he does this, the more experience Dio can gain is taken away by the five swords. Timing to relieve the power of the five swords and at the same time gain maximum experience for participating in battle. Dio was just aiming for that timing from the rear. And that time is now. If we put all our effort into it from now on, we will be able to achieve quite a lot. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 152 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 152Episode 152 : Flash! Descruger felt an ominous light shooting towards him and immediately used teleportation. Quagwagwang! The power of the sun sent by Dio began to explode where Deathrugger was. The power of the sun that extinguishes even the flames of hell. Even though Deathcruger¡¯s power was clearly superior to Dio¡¯s, it seemed as if he was being pushed out due to his superiority. ¡°What are you doing now?¡± ¡°What I¡¯m doing is commanding the army.¡± Elaine was very annoyed with Dio, who joined her late, but Dio answered calmly. ¡°Hahaha, why don¡¯t we compete again this time?¡± Galletto, who discovered Dio, also offered a word of help. But we only had a leisurely conversation for a moment. The most important thing now was Acrich, who was using vicious magic right in front of him, so the five swords and Dio focused on Deathrugger again. ¡°The teleport thing is really annoying.¡± Galletto was dissatisfied with Descruger¡¯s skill of widening the distance whenever he approached. In addition, Descruger possessed the ¡®floating¡¯ skill, which was one level higher than Luave¡¯s, so it was able to move without restrictions in the sky. ¡°That might be a bit dangerous?¡± ¡°I will stop it!¡± As Descruger attempted to drop the dark sphere containing a huge condensation of magical energy to the ground, Aldur stepped in front of everyone and unfolded his shield. Kwaaaaang! Although Aldur¡¯s shield was cracked, others were able to avoid being attacked by Deathcruger. Accordingly, Dio naturally gave command among the five swords. ¡°He¡¯s wasting his time. ¡°Let¡¯s pull it to the ground first.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t just talk like that, come forward!¡± Elaine responded to Dio¡¯s advice in a very irritated tone. ¡°I can¡¯t do it with my skills, so why not ask everyone else?¡± Elaine clicked her tongue at Dio¡¯s sly words, but Galletto, who was listening next to her, bowed as if he had found his own way. Jjeok- The land was sunken, with even the swamp created by Deathrugger disappearing due to a fierce battle. Galetto put his hand into the cracked ground and lifted it up. ¡®You¡¯re ignorant.¡¯ Galetto appears to be planning to throw a rock at his opponent. Dio looked at this and clicked his tongue. Throw in! The huge piece of rock thrown by Galetto was completely destroyed with a single gesture of Deathcruger¡¯s hand. ¡°Tsk! Isn¡¯t this enough? Elaine! ¡°Try to pull him out somehow!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t order me around!¡± Elaine was very irritated by Galletto¡¯s shout. However, Elaine also flicked her bowstring strongly, as if she had not stayed still until now. Liquid Liquid ¨C [No way!] Deathrugger easily dodged the arrows fired by Elaine by teleporting as if they were not the same. Shuung-! However, Elaine¡¯s arrow passed through the afterimage left by the disappeared Deathcruger and then immediately changed direction and headed somewhere. The place where Deathrugger reappeared, pointing in the direction the arrow was heading. Elaine¡¯s attack, which did not give time to use teleportation continuously, succeeded in penetrating Descruger¡¯s body. [Pfft!] Deathrugger let out a short groan, but Elaine¡¯s attack did not stop there. ChurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrredtedednededededledededededededededededededededededededDescruger ¨C Elain¡¯s arrow pierced Descruger¡¯s chest and began spewing out numerous chains. The chains became embedded in the solid ground and began to pull the Descruger down from the sky to the ground. Papad! Elaine¡¯s magic was so powerful that Descruger could not easily break it. Dio and Galletto kicked the ground at the same time without missing the moment when the gap was created. Quang! Dio¡¯s sword and Galetto¡¯s fist shoot towards the bound Deathcruger. When their attacks hit at the same time, a powerful shock wave spread around the area, raising a cloud of dust. ¡°Haha! ¡°It¡¯s easy!¡± Descruger¡¯s horribly crushed head. Because it was a lich with a skeleton body, its crushed head was clearly visible. Galletto, who saw this, shouted loudly that he had won, but Dio turned around and distanced himself from Deathrugger. This was because, unlike Galletto, Dio knew that Deathrugger was not dead. Flash! The light leaking into Descruger¡¯s body was literally a split second. Quagwagwagwang! Acrich¡¯s ¡®corpse explosion¡¯ using his own body. The huge explosion engulfed Galeto, who was right in front of him. ¡°Ugh!¡± Galletto, who had suffered the same damage as when fighting the Centipede Knight, rolled on the floor in an awkward manner. ¡°Tsk tsk. ¡°Please be careful.¡± Dio left Galletto behind and aimed his sword again at Deathrugger, whose bones were slowly being restored. [Hahaha! I already died once. No matter what you guys do, I won¡¯t die!] Deathrugger shouted majestically and stretched out his arms. Hundreds and thousands of thorns leaving his hands. It was Deathrugger¡¯s representative magic, ¡®Thousand Needles¡¯. Kagagaga River! Dio knocked out some of the thorns heading towards him, but knew that it was impossible to hit them all, so he threw himself and rolled to the side. The Thousand Needles passed by Dio, then suddenly turned and shot towards Elaine, who was furthest away. ¡°joy!¡± However, Elaine must have been expecting this and just snorted and pulled the bowstring. Quaaaaaaaaaaa! Kagagaga River! Elaine¡¯s arrow pierced the Thousand Needles at once. And Elaine¡¯s arrow heads towards Descruger¡¯s head once again. Push! Elaine¡¯s arrow pierced Descruger¡¯s head, and Dio swung his sword again at Descruger, who stopped moving for a moment. Squeak-! Dio¡¯s sword cut off Descruger¡¯s upper body, but this was not enough to completely dispose of Descruger. [It¡¯s the same! No matter how much you use, it¡¯s useless!] Even though only his upper body remained, Descruger waved his arms as if there was no problem. Then, his separated lower body moved to find his upper body and merged together, and the dark magic of the revived Descruger continued. Empty! As Deathrugger struck the floor with his bone-only hand, a six-pointed magic circle was instantly drawn. Huung ¨C The flames of hell swirling with strong winds. Dio retreated to Aldur¡¯s side, who was unfolding his shield to avoid the flames spreading out in all directions. ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°Yes, thanks.¡± While Dio and Aldur exchanged greetings, Galeto¡¯s fist and Elaine¡¯s arrow collided with Deathcruger. Quagwang! Plop! The difference in power is clearly evident. No matter how good Deathcruger is, he is infinitely defeated by the powerful power of the five swords. However, despite losing strength, Descruger never died. ¡°Is there a way to defeat that monster?¡± Elaine shouted in disgust as she watched Descruger stand up again, casually breaking the arrow shafts embedded in his body. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be okay if we just keep beating? ¡°I think I just need to hit you a little more.¡± At Galletto¡¯s ignorant remark, Elaine lowered the arm that was holding the bow and looked at him as if he was dumbfounded. Pubbung! While Galeto and Elaine were looking away for a moment, Descruger shot Hellfire. But this time too, the flame was blocked by Aldur¡¯s magic. Sigh! Aldur¡¯s magic that blocked Hellfire was not a simple shield magic. Wind made of water. ¡®Aqua Wing¡¯ engulfed the oncoming Hellfire. Fierce battle. Descruger still looked fine, as if he wasn¡¯t tired. On the other hand, those who were dealing with him seemed to have lost quite a bit of stamina. ¡°This is strange. ¡°No matter how lich he is, he won¡¯t be able to withstand our strength to this extent.¡± Aldur glanced at Dio next to him as if it were strange. Like, do you know something? With that look in your eyes. ¡®It¡¯s the right time.¡¯ Dio, who was looking at Aldur, thought of his future plans and turned his head towards Aldur. Deathcruger¡¯s current immortal ability is completely different from the Centipede Knight¡¯s super regenerative ability. Super regenerative ability can cause the opponent¡¯s death if an attack exceeds the regenerative ability is used, but immortality literally means that one cannot die. Deathcruger¡¯s immortality is an ability that lasts forever unless the heart of the thing called the ¡®Life Vessel¡¯ is destroyed. This was why Dio always widened his distance after a critical hit. Because I knew about the existence of immortality. However, not only does it not die, but the amount of damage the player inflicts on Acrich is cumulative. In other words, the more critical damage is inflicted on the Deathcruger¡¯s body, the higher the contribution. Therefore, even though Dio knew about his immortality, he tried his best. However, the benefits that can be gained from this can only be achieved when Deathrugger is completely destroyed. In conclusion, we need to find the Life Vessel, but D.O. has already prepared a plan for this. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to kill him unless you destroy the Life Vessel.¡± ¡°Are you talking about the taboo magic that lichs use?¡± ¡°yes. ¡°If it¡¯s an Acrich instead of a normal Lich, then of course you can make it and have some left over.¡± ¡°I see¡­do you know where it is?¡± Aldur¡¯s eyes shined brightly, and Dio pretended to think about it for a moment. ¡°He must have hidden it with magic because he must have considered it the most precious thing. ¡°Descruger¡¯s stronghold is further east from here, so Aldur, would you mind looking for it?¡± After hearing Dio¡¯s words, Aldur was lost in thought, and Dio sensed what he was worried about and immediately continued speaking. ¡°There is enough here for me and the other five swords. The only one who has a chance of finding the Life Vessel is Aldur, who can use search magic¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Aldur nodded as if Dio¡¯s persuasion was successful. ¡°Then hold on a little longer. ¡°I will find it quickly.¡± Aldur left Dio behind and quickly hid the new model. Dio specified the location as east, so he must have used the teleport there. ¡®You can come and go slowly.¡¯ Dio swallowed his heart and turned his gaze back to Deathrugger. The reason Dio used the Life Vessel as an excuse to send Aldur out of the battlefield was because of his ¡®contribution¡¯. As one of the five swords is missing, Dio¡¯s contribution will increase. ¡°sepia!¡± Sepia, who was preparing from the rear at Dio¡¯s call, raised her staff high. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. While Dio and the five swords were dealing with Deathrugger, Sephia was preparing a spell according to Dio¡¯s instructions. A small sun floating high in the sky. The magic of sepia did not end there. thud! Sepia slammed her cane on the floor. As a result, the mana divine power she possessed surged through the staff. Hahaha! A brilliant light rises high into the sky. The place where the light was directed was none other than the small sun. The small sun that took a direct hit began to fall slowly. ¡°It¡¯s light! ¡°The saint is coming!¡± ¡°Everyone, cheer up!¡± A brilliant light that can be clearly seen even in the midst of a hectic battlefield. The morale of the Allied forces, which had already experienced this, began to recharge. In addition, the demon beasts even hesitated to retreat. You know it instinctively. The power that the sun has. That it is fatal to them. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 153 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 153Episode 153 The Allied Forces once again felt overwhelmed by the sun that brought out their inner strength. Among them, there were people who had deep thoughts about the sun. ¡°Solarira, the god of the sun¡­¡± When Agram, who was leading the mercenaries in the middle of the battlefield, felt this warm energy, he remembered Dio¡¯s story about rebuilding the kingdom. You can¡¯t rebuild a kingdom simply by having money. We must create a solid force so that we do not fall into decline again. One of the ways that weak countries can avoid pressure from surrounding powers is through religion. Numerous countries give and receive help from the Luna Church in the name of believing in the same God. Considering its influence, Agram also acknowledged that the power of religion cannot be ignored. Therefore, I had no choice but to be even more tempted by Dio¡¯s offer. ¡°I guess I¡¯ll have to pray to the sun from now on.¡± Agram stepped forward again, shaking off his sword that was stained with the demon¡¯s blood. Even if it¡¯s to regain the lost kingdom. Because I had to do my best to annihilate my enemies along with the sun. * * * Same time. Another person who had deep thoughts about the sun was none other than the high elf Elaine. Unlike Agram, who was able to organize his mind, Elaine could not calm her confused mind easily. ¡°¡­.¡± I spread my palm as if I wanted to feel the light created by the sepia in more detail. Elaine closed her hands as if trying to catch the light, but there was no way she could catch the shapeless light. But the light wrapped around Elaine¡¯s arms as if to reassure her, and she could feel it. So I was confused. I used a dragon to find out what kind of mysterious emotions this light gives. This power is clearly the power used by a traitor who has turned his back on his own race. But why? I feel like I miss it. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Elaine was confident that her hatred had not changed. The anger engraved deep in her heart is not small enough to be quelled with warmth. Nevertheless, the light continued to surround Elaine warmly. As if he would one day melt my cold heart dominated by anger. Did you feel the comfort of light? Elaine was even more confused as her heart was pounding. I looked at the back of the black-haired man approaching Acrich. Elaine wanted to ask that man. The truth about the sun that you may not know. How can the sun that betrayed its clan be so warm? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat could see byeline. The light that fills the battlefield embraces Dio. As if he would definitely protect just one person. * * * Sepia activated her highest level skill, [Declaration of Sanctuary]. Gives a buff to allies in proportion to mana and divine power. A wide-area field spell that gives a debuff to enemies. When the small sun created by sepia exploded, the hell-like demon world seemed to be purified for an instant. ¡®The duration of the sanctuary declaration is about 20 minutes.¡¯ Dio, who remembered the duration proportional to Sepia¡¯s mana amount, examined his status after receiving the buff. Those who can use the power of the sun are given an additional stat increase. Dio was able to receive a more powerful buff than anyone else on the battlefield, perhaps thanks to having the ¡®Great Warrior of the Sun¡¯. [Okay¡­ I understand now.] Deathrugger waved his right hand wide as he faced the approaching Dio. Then, a black film surrounded his body, blocking the light coming from the declaration of sanctuary from reaching him. [I never would have thought that there were still dogs of the sun alive who could produce this much power.] Deathrugger noticed that the only priest in the Allied Forces was a human who followed a forgotten god. The divine power unleashed just now was clearly not so weak that Deathrugger could ignore it. Still, Descruger wasn¡¯t worried. Because she was nothing compared to the Saint of the Sun, who was powerful enough to threaten even the Demon King a thousand years ago. [Try as much as you want! You will never kill me!] ¡°You¡¯ll know when you try.¡± Dio grinned and took a stance towards Deathrugger, who shouted confidently. Ping ¨C Without warning, Taeyang Baldo cut off Descruger¡¯s head. Suddenly! Such incredible speed that I couldn¡¯t even react. [You insolent!] An angry cry came out from the mouth of the fallen skeleton, but Dio¡¯s new form had already disappeared. The speed of Dio, whose body rose dramatically, was fast enough to be compared to that of Elaine. Quagwagwang! Damn it! Dio¡¯s sword crushed Deathcruger¡¯s body, which only had its neck left, and the throbbing power of the sun collapsed the earth along with Deathcruger¡¯s body. Slurp ¨C [It¡¯s no use!] The shattered pieces of bone stick to Deathrugger¡¯s head and revive him again. It was a sight I had seen several times, but the more I saw Deathcruger¡¯s immortality, the more horrifying it became. Moreover, this time, as if it was his turn, the ominous energy gathered in his outstretched hand and formed a single shape. It was a huge scythe. It was the Death Scythe, Deathcruger¡¯s main weapon, which was much larger than the Judgment Scythe used by Evelyn and also had a scythe on the handle. humming-! Quagwang! As Death Scythe swung, a powerful shock wave pushed Dio away. However, Dio was not the only person Deathcruger was dealing with. ¡°Let¡¯s play with me too!¡± Galetto, who took advantage of Deathcruger¡¯s attention on Dio and caught up with him, shouted. Pajizik ¨C Galetto¡¯s lightning shot was directed towards Descruger, but Descruger¡¯s actions were a little faster. Wow ¨C as Deathrugger¡¯s empty hand stretched out towards Galeto, a magic circle was instantly drawn in the air. The magic circle completed in a short amount of time was by no means trivial. The magic circle created by Descruger is a summoning magic circle. It wasn¡¯t a magic circle that summoned some idiot or something. Liquid ¨C A knight who appears from a summoning magic circle. The Death Knight, armed with jet-black armor, swung a huge sword at Galeto. ¡®It reminds me of a forgotten temple?¡¯ When Dio saw Deathcruger¡¯s summoned beast, he remembered another Death Knight he had encountered in the Forgotten Temple. A believer of the sun named Adelia Darc. However, the Death Knight before our eyes is just a nameless knight created by Deathcruger. ¡°What is this!?¡± Galleto, who had no idea he was going to summon a Death Knight, was taken aback and was hit directly by the Death Knight¡¯s great sword. Quang! Kwagwagagagagak! The Death Knight¡¯s sword could not cut through Galeto¡¯s hard body, but it was powerful enough to send him flying far away. [Kill them!] Deathrugger stepped on the ground hard and another Death Knight appeared from the summoning magic circle that formed from the floor. Pop! Papapak-! The Death Knight rushes towards Galeto, who has lost his posture due to an unexpected attack. And the other Death Knight that had just been summoned moved towards Dio. Kagang! However, Dio, who already knew of the existence of the Death Knight, unlike Galleto, easily and calmly received the sword. Boom! Dio lightly blocked the Death Knight¡¯s attack and kicked him in the chest. A faltering Death Knight. Dio transformed the sword into a spear using the omnipotent jade power and pierced the Death Knight¡¯s head. Coo! Dio jumped over the fallen Death Knight and targeted Deathcruger again. However, Deathrugger has already created a considerable distance from Dio through his floating skill. Deathcruger, who had planned to kill time as a Death Knight from the beginning, began using powerful magic. [Redeem him!] Deathrugger shouted, swinging his Death Scythe. Then, what appeared to be ghoul hands rose from under the ground and grabbed Dio and Galeto. ¡®Restriction hand!¡¯ Dio immediately recognized Deathcruger¡¯s magic and immediately stopped his actions. This magic is a binding magic that sinks deeper the more you struggle. Galletto, who was unaware of this, was having a hard time shaking off the numerous hands. But the more Galletto struggled, the more his hands restrained him. Descruger¡¯s magic continues. A huge portal opened behind him, and windows of darkness of various sizes appeared. [Rest in peace!] Dozens of spears fall to the ground with Deathrugger¡¯s cry. Dio and Galeto were caught in the ghouls¡¯ grip and could not move. Because of that, it seemed difficult to avoid Deathcruger¡¯s additional attacks. But¡­ Pang! Pap pap pang! A barrage of arrows flying from afar. The arrows flying through the air destroyed the spears raining down on the ground one after another. ¡®Eline¡­ I didn¡¯t think you would help me this much.¡¯ Dio thought that Elaine¡¯s personality would allow her to suffer. From Elaine¡¯s perspective, it was the perfect time to complete her mission as a saint. I don¡¯t know how I felt about helping, but I couldn¡¯t miss this opportunity. [You damn elf bitch!] Deathcruger cursed at Elaine, who had neutralized his magic, and raised Death Scythe to use magic once again. That moment. Kwagwagwak! [Ugh!?] Huge roots sprouting from under Deathrugger¡¯s feet. The roots wrapped around Deathrugger¡¯s body, and Dio spilled something on the floor. Chiiik ¨C Top-quality purification potion. The powerful purifying power contained in the potion instantly neutralized the Listrix Hand. Dio, who was free, immediately kicked the ground. Dio climbed up the roots created by Elaine and flew high. Ji Ying ¨C The all-powerful jade turned into a sword again, and the concentrated power of the sun gathered at the tip of the sword. Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga! Flash! [Kkkkkkkkkkk!] A swing that condenses all of Dio¡¯s power. This was not as fast as the solar oscillation. But there¡¯s no problem hitting him. This is because Elaine¡¯s tree roots were holding Descruger tightly. Kagak-! Dio swung his sword slowly but calmly. What Dio is aiming for now is not Deathrugger¡¯s head. No matter what you do, you cannot kill Deathrugger unless the immortality ability is resolved. But what if he brought out the Death Side? From top right to bottom left. The power of the sun also moved along with that neat diagonal cut. Damn it! The Death Side that Deathrugger was holding also began to crack along the path cut by Dio. * * * Aldur followed Dio¡¯s words and immediately used magic to explore various parts of the Demon World. Eventually, I discovered the barrier. Aldur, who judged that it was a barrier set up by Descruger, immediately revealed his actions. It took more time than expected to lift the barrier. This was because the barrier was that strong. Only after consuming nearly half of his mana was Aldur able to enter the cave inside the barrier. ¡°I finally found it.¡± Aldur, who was certain that the Life Vessel was hidden here, muttered. If not, there was no way it could have been hidden with such a strong barrier. But it is still too early to let down our guard. Acrich will not stop at just setting up a barrier around the precious Life Vessel. Aldur entered deep into the cave, being alert to use magic at any time. Pot-! As expected, Manatan fired from Aldur¡¯s staff when he noticed something ahead. ¡°Who are you?¡± Aldur clearly sensed the presence. Aldur slowly raised his mana and aimed his staff forward. Ttogak ttogak ¨C the sound of footsteps echoing through the cave. It¡¯s not the footsteps of a demonic beast. When Aldur realized that this was the sound of human footsteps, he became even more nervous. Who on earth is in Deathcruger¡¯s hidden place? The sound of footsteps echoing through the cave. And along with this, an elegant and alluring woman appeared. Aldur looked in disbelief and lowered his staff. ¡°Why are you here¡­ wait, can¡¯t that be true?¡± Aldur, who was quite surprised to meet an unexpected person, was even more surprised when he saw the object Calliope was holding in her hand. ¡°Did you find this?¡± Calliope smiled charmingly and lifted the red gem in her hand. At the center of the jewel was a blinking red light as if a heart was beating. Acrich¡¯s heart. It was a life vessel. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 154 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 154Episode 154 Whether Aldur could find the Life Vessel or not was of no concern to Dio. Dio had a strong support group called the Seven Stars. Calliope, the Witch of Balance. As Dio requested, she moved alone, avoiding everyone¡¯s gaze. That way, Descruger won¡¯t find her. Calliope can move freely as the Allied forces take Deathcruger¡¯s attention. And Dio conveyed to Calliope that the time had come. [Sanctuary Declaration] created by Sepia. This was a signal to Calliope that led the battlefield to his advantage. Calliope, who learned of the fierce battle going on, headed straight to the hidden location that Dio had told him about. Calliope is a being called a pentagram like Deathrugger. In a situation where Descruger was preoccupied with the Eastern Allied forces, it was really easy for Calliope to intercept the Life Vessel. Therefore, Aldur, who was playing in Dio¡¯s hands, had no choice but to be late. ¡°It¡¯s been a while. ¡°Are you feeling okay?¡± ¡°Oh my, are you worried? Actually, I almost died because of someone.¡± As Calliope spoke mischievously, Aldur cleared his throat briefly. ¡°The balance you maintain. ¡°I tried to protect it too.¡± The reason Aldur came forward and attacked Calliope was to prevent the other five swords from attacking. If five swords other than Aldur had come forward, he would not have ended up just injured. ¡°I thought you were alone all along.¡± Aldur thought of Dio. A person who has caused a stir on the current continent. When Aldur first met Dio, he immediately recognized that his power was the same as Calliope. So I was relieved. That Calliope is no longer alone. And I was able to see hope that if there was a being called Dio, the balance that Calliope desired could be maintained. ¡°Anyway, we have to hurry and destroy the Life Vessel. ¡°This is the only way to put Acrich to sleep on the battlefield right now.¡± ¡°no.¡± Calliope shook her head and snapped her fingers at Aldur¡¯s words. Wow ¨C Then, a sub-space appeared next to Calliope. ¡°I killed Acrich once. ¡°Even then, I found the Life Vessel and broke it.¡± Calliope began to tell Aldur about her experiences. ¡°But I found out that his Life Vessel keeps resurrecting as long as the Demon King doesn¡¯t die.¡± Calliope¡¯s explanation that the Life Vessel cannot be destroyed using normal methods. ¡°The subspace we have created now is a two-dimensional space. ¡°It¡¯s a space completely disconnected from our world.¡± ¡°Right.¡± Aldur immediately understood Calliope¡¯s actions. If the Life Vessel was placed in another dimension, it would be possible to make Deathcruger¡¯s immortality disappear without having to destroy it. The heart that gives him immortality is as if it does not exist in this world. ¡°It¡¯s definitely a much better option than destroying it. ¡°He might have pulled some kind of prank on the Life Vessel.¡± Aldur thought of Descruger, who had greater magic knowledge than him. Couldn¡¯t he use the power contained in the Life Vessel to promote the resurrection of the Demon King? ¡°By the way¡­what do you plan to do now?¡± Aldur, who saw that the Life Vessel was clearly disposed of before his eyes, asked Calliope. ¡°I plan to return to the battlefield. Will you join me?¡± Calliope was just smiling at Aldur¡¯s suggestion. Aldur expressed doubt at her mysterious smile. At that moment, light began to emanate from the floor, as if to solve Aldur¡¯s question. Aldur was greatly embarrassed when he realized what Calliope was trying to do. ¡°what? Can not be done. Calliope! ¡°You can¡¯t believe it!?¡± The magic circle drawn on the floor began to hum and operate. Aldur looked at Calliope with an absurd expression, but Calliope still smiled mischievously. Shush ¨C Calliope and Aldur¡¯s new forms disappeared in an instant. At the same time, deeper. The underworld where the devil is definitely sleeping. A sound came from a place where I couldn¡¯t see an inch ahead and saw only darkness. The sound of the chains sealing the demon lord being dragged. * * * Clang! Death Side split in two. In addition, the Deathcruger holding the Death Scythe was also split in half, probably affected by Dio¡¯s blow. Let¡¯s go! When the legendary item Death Scythe was destroyed, strong sparks were created around it. [Kaaaa! How dare you!] Deathcruger¡¯s anger at losing the Death Scythe rang out. Although Deathrugger couldn¡¯t feel pain, his anger felt as if he had suffered great pain. [What does it mean to break a weapon? The fact that I don¡¯t die doesn¡¯t change!] Deathcruger, whose body was restored with immortality, set off a flare around him. Quagwagwagwang! However, Dio, who had already achieved his goal, quickly went back to the ground and avoided it. Liquid-! Elaine¡¯s arrow flies away, clearing away the soot caused by the flare. [Ugh!] Descruger, with his arms wrapped in demonic energy, stumbled while swatting away the arrow. Because he lost his weapon, he was unable to completely absorb Elaine¡¯s attack. Pop! One of Elaine¡¯s arrows, giving no time to rest, stuck in Descruger¡¯s shoulder. Coogung! Descruger fell to the ground due to the tremendous gravity felt from the pierced shoulder. And Dio¡¯s huge sword was waiting for him. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Kagak-! Sensing the approaching presence of Descruger, he raised his arm and fired a bullet with condensed magical energy. However, Dio easily dodged those bullets and cut off Deathrugger¡¯s hand. [This is it!] Quagwagwang! As Deathrugger roared, a huge explosion struck the area once again. [Just a little more¡­ just a little more¡­] Deathrugger gritted his teeth as he watched Dio hit and run like a rat, but he remembered his mission again. The reason I fight against them is not to win. All you have to do is hold on until the Demon King is resurrected. Squeak-squeak- Deathrugger tried to regenerate his severed right hand, but strangely, it did not reattach. [What what?] Descruger looks clearly embarrassed. He looked at his hands again, but they still didn¡¯t stick together. ¡®Did you handle it?¡¯ And Dio, who was watching this, realized that Calliope had successfully obtained the Life Vessel. ¡°I think he¡¯s tired! ¡°Push it like this!¡± Galletto rejoins the team after defeating the Death Knight. He, too, seemed to sense something strange about Descruger. Clearly, now that the immortal ability is gone, this is the opportunity to completely eliminate Deathrugger. However, strangely enough, Dio, who must have been clearly aware of this, slowly lowered his weapon. ¡®Shall we start soon?¡¯ * * * From the moment the five swords joined the expedition, Dio did not set the end of the subjugation to be Deathrugger¡¯s death. Subjugating Deathcruger is just a low priority. After Dio confirmed that Deathrugger¡¯s immortality had disappeared, he eagerly entered into battle. Of course, I was emphasizing that I was extremely exhausted. Bub bub bub! Quagwagwang! On Dio¡¯s behalf, Galletto and Elaine faced off against Deathcruger¡¯s final struggle. Recognizing that his immortality was gone, Deathrugger acted more cautiously and summoned all of the remaining Death Knights. Kaga River! Bubble bubbling! Galletto¡¯s fist and the Death Knight¡¯s sword collided, and Elaine and Deathcruger¡¯s magic created a huge explosion everywhere. ¡®They are at their limit now.¡¯ Sepia¡¯s declaration of sanctuary also applied to the Five Swords, but to a much weaker degree. Maybe that¡¯s why Elaine and Galletto couldn¡¯t easily gain the upper hand against Deathrugger, who approached the battle cautiously. This was because he was unaware of his immortality and consumed too much power in the early and middle stages of the battle. Nevertheless, Elaine and Galletto slowly began to pressure Descruger. No matter how exhausted they may be, they are the Luna Church¡¯s strongest force. Deathrugger also lost his immortality ability and consumed a lot of mana. If time continued like this, it seemed like the ending would end with Elaine and Galletto winning. But Dio¡¯s thoughts were different. This is because Descruger already knows the pattern to use when cornered. ¡®If you¡¯re that exhausted, no matter what they do, you¡¯ll suffer.¡¯ Dio was currently acting exhausted and clashing swords with the Death Knight who was alone. I continued to wait without intentionally dealing with the Death Knight. When Deathrugger uses his last pattern. * * * ¡®Nonsense. whoever?¡¯ Deathrugger thought as he stepped behind the summoned Death Knight. There is only one reason why the immortal ability does not activate. There was a problem with the Life Vessel, and Descruger could tell. It was said that if you die in your current state, you will really die then. ¡®No, my death is not the problem.¡¯ The Life Vessel is hidden in the altar. Deathcruger excluded intruders and placed numerous barriers and monsters. Nevertheless, the fact that the altar allowed the invasion and the Life Vessel was taken was enough to give Descruger a sense of crisis. ¡®I didn¡¯t notice the intrusion? I¡¯m not a clumsy guy. ¡®I have to go back.¡¯ The hidden altar is a place created to prepare for the resurrection of the Demon King. This means that it is not simply a place to store the life vessel. ¡®Luna¡¯s wizard¡­is he him? How dare you pollute the sanctuary of darkness?¡¯ Descruger thought of Aldur, who took the lead in blocking his magic. ¡®I should have noticed when he disappeared, damn it!¡¯ I don¡¯t know what Luna¡¯s wizard will do to the altar. Descruger looked at the enemies in front of him, becoming increasingly anxious. ¡®The guys are tired too. ¡®The only chance is now.¡¯ thud! Even the last remaining Death Knight guarding Deathcruger fell. However, Descruger, who had already finished thinking, took action immediately. bang! Quagwang! Kwakwagwagwang! Deathrugger¡¯s magic, which had attracted demon energy, gradually exploded. The first explosion was from Galletto. The second explosion is from Elaine. The third explosion is for everyone. To avoid this, while Galetto and Elaine fell back, Descruger hurriedly placed his hands on the floor. A teleportation magic circle was drawn here to prepare for the current situation. It¡¯s so huge that no one notices. But that was only Descruger¡¯s mistake. Deathrugger, who infused power into the magic circle to force his escape. However, the magic circle did not accept Deathruger¡¯s magical power. There is only one way to prevent spatial movement using a magic circle. That is when the magic circle was artificially damaged by someone. [Yes, you!] A woman who came into Deathrugger¡¯s sight. She had her feet on the vertex where a huge magic circle began. thud! Sepia slammed the staff she was holding on the floor, and soon Deathcruger¡¯s magic circle was covered with brilliant divine power. Descruger, who watched this, realized. A forgotten god from the past. The biggest obstacle to Descruger is not the moon. [Are you disturbing us again?] Deathrugger¡¯s anger was not directed at Sepia. Just like a thousand years ago. It was a cry to God who had hindered the Demon King. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 155 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 155Episode 155 ¡®Was the escape prevented?¡¯ As Dio watched Deathrugger, who was venting his anger, he could see that Sepia¡¯s interference had been successful. Descruger¡¯s escape pattern. This is one of the patterns that he always uses when he is cornered. Liches on the Order Board are considered one of the monsters that players do not want to deal with. ¡®Teleportation is such a scam.¡¯ It was safe to say that the teleportation he used within the demon realm had almost no restrictions, such as distance limits or casting time. When Deathrugger¡¯s health falls below a certain level, it uses various debuff spells and then escapes from the battlefield. When the remaining players on the battlefield are enduring debuffs such as curse, bleeding, sleep poison, etc. Deathrugger quickly recovers mana through the Life Vessel and returns to the battlefield in an instant. So the players have to face Deathrugger again, who has regained his strength in an exhausted state. If this is not resolved, the difficulty of attacking Descruger will double. Even if it is possible to catch it a few times, you have to keep doing it over and over again. ¡°sepia. are you okay?¡± ¡°yes. But I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be able to use my strength for a while.¡± Dio approached Sepia, who had successfully blocked Deathcruger¡¯s teleportation, and checked her condition. The way to attack the escape pattern is to destroy the magic circle created by Deathrugger in advance, or if that is not possible, destroy it midway. It wasn¡¯t a magic circle that could be blocked just by being proficient in magic. The magic circle created by Deathrugger itself has evil dark properties. In other words, since it is covered with demonic energy, it can be blocked only by exerting equivalent divine power. If you can add divine power to your mana, you can much more easily suppress or control the demonic energy around you. Only sepia can do this. However, in order to successfully interfere with this, there is a problem that Sephia¡¯s mana amount must be similar to that of Deathcruger. Deathrugger is of a much higher level than Sepia, and the power he uses is different enough to not be affected by Sepia¡¯s declaration of sanctuary. To solve this problem, Dio delivered one item to Sepia. [Provision of the Sun] This legendary bracelet item grants the wearer the [Mana Storage] ability. In addition, thanks to the Sun¡¯s Blessing skill, the effect has also increased. Through this, Sephia was able to use more mana than she possessed and was able to neutralize the magic circle covered with Deathcruger¡¯s magical energy. It was something Dio had meticulously planned even before the expedition departed, and was ultimately able to successfully stop it. ¡®If the teleportation is cut off¡­now there is only one pattern he can use.¡¯ Descruger, who realizes that escape is impossible, is willing to fight with the other person. It¡¯s just self-destruction. The way Deathcruger self-destructs is quite unique, but it is not a problem at all for Dio, who knows this in advance. ¡°You have what I gave you, right?¡± ¡°yes.¡± In response to Sepia¡¯s answer, Dio nodded and turned his gaze towards Deathrugger, who was struggling for the last time. Deathcruger whose teleportation magic circle misfired. While he was angry, Galeto and Elaine were seen fiercely attacking him again. Bubble bubbling! Deathcruger¡¯s condensed magic energy hits all directions. Galeto, caught in the explosion, tumbled, and Elaine directly fought in close combat to strike the Deathcruger hidden behind a black curtain. Pabababak! Quagwagwagwang! Elaine¡¯s main weapon is a bow, but that does not mean she is weak in close combat. Rangers¡¯ agility is said to be the best among all classes. Therefore, rangers who have reached the transcendental level can use close combat that is powerful enough to rival that of the warrior class. Throw in! In Elaine¡¯s hand, wading through the cloud of dust from the explosion, was a Khopesh with a scythe-like curved blade. Pakang! Let¡¯s go! Elaine¡¯s nosepiece broke Deathcruger¡¯s shield and grazed his face. The horrifying sound of scraping bones rang out, but Deathrugger responded to Elaine¡¯s speed. Deathcruger, who realized that the Life Vessel was gone, desperately avoided Elaine¡¯s attack. Quagwagwagwang! Descruger grabs Elaine¡¯s outstretched arm and unleashes magical energy. However, Elaine suppressed Descruger¡¯s magical energy by surrounding her body with a spirit. A forest spirit who loves elves. The forest spirit that Elaine contracted with showed strong enough power to push away Deathrugger, even though it was in an environment where it could not exert its power. Elaine pushed again towards Descruger, who was unable to move at close range, and Galetto also stood up again and participated in Elaine¡¯s pincer attack. Burbubbuk! Quagwagwagwang! Has Descruger finally gotten tired? It was slowly collapsing under the two men¡¯s attacks. Recognizing this, Elaine and Galletto launched even more powerful attacks, but only Dio knew that their thoughts were wrong. ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± Quad deuk! Galetto¡¯s fist crushed Descruger¡¯s chest so hard that the sound of bones crushing rang out. It would be safer for Deathcruger, whose Life Vessel has disappeared, to widen his distance to block the opponent¡¯s attack. But Descruger didn¡¯t do that. This was like a foreshadowing that Descruger would push ahead with the final pattern, Donggwijin. [Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of¡­ Do you think you won??] Descruger¡¯s shout echoes through everyone. [Can you overcome death like me? Try it once. Eternal rest!] Tsupat! The cry of a lich who experienced death. This was not just a threat. It was Deathcruger¡¯s last order for the end. A dream environment that makes you fall into a dream of death has begun. * * * The great magic that Archmage Kruger gained by awakening to ¡®death¡¯ was none other than a dream. Because an eternal dream means death. Eternal Rest is also a magic designed by Descruger. It was a unique magic that only he could use, and dream worlds also had the same kind of power. Making not only yourself but everyone around you fall into an eternal dream. Unlike Eternal Rest, which simply causes one to fall asleep, Dream Environment directly harms the other person. Deathrugger forces you to dream through a dream environment, which is directly connected to reality. The worst debuff called ¡®destruction of the phenomenon¡¯ is applied to the target who is consumed by the dream environment. The destruction of the phenomenon is so terrifying that the body itself melts into demonic energy and disappears without a trace. Once the reality of reality melts away and the soul is forever trapped in a dream environment, it cannot be revived by any means. Grumble ¨C Descruger, who was pierced by Elaine¡¯s nose and Galetto¡¯s fist. His entire body began to melt and flow, and a thick fog quickly spread around him. ¡°Ugh?¡± ¡°Oh no!¡± Elaine and Galletto quickly covered their noses and mouths, but it was no use. Compared to the Eternal Rest, the sleeping gas of the dream environment was sad and penetrated deep into the exposed skin of Elaine and Galetto. Saaaaaa- The shallow wind spread the gas that creates a dreamy environment in all directions. ¡°Huh huh!¡± The duration of the highest-grade resistance potion used to pass the Eternal Rest had already expired. Even in an urgent wartime situation where adrenaline was surging, the power of the dream environment made Elaine and Galletto infinitely helpless. It wasn¡¯t just that I felt helpless. Galle felt his insides boiling. Through this, Galletto had an intuition. If you fall asleep here, even the body that supports your mind will melt away without a trace. Just like Deathrugger, who has now melted away before my eyes. ¡°Anyway¡­try it!¡± Elaine also knelt down and used her bow as a pillar to support herself and shouted at Dio. If Dio had solved the Eternal Rest, it was Elaine who thought there would definitely be a way this time too. But that¡¯s just Elaine¡¯s wish. The dream environment seemed to have affected not only Elaine and Galletto, but also Dio and Sepia, who were a little distance away, and they were also staggering. ¡°Damn it¡­they got hit too. Hey, wake up! ¡°If you fall asleep, you¡¯ll die!¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Elaine forced herself to raise her voice to shake off sleep, but the dream environment, as if laughing at her efforts, only made her more and more dazed. The first to fall were Dio and Sepia. They had used up all their strength because they were fighting Deathcruger. Now, it is clear that Saint Kaleina can easily complete the mission given to the five swords. Still, Elaine couldn¡¯t lift a finger. It was all I could do to keep from falling into a dream. * * * Galetto was holding on with his fist touching the ground. But Galletto¡¯s trembling arms showed that he could barely hold on. This is perhaps natural. Dream Environment is a skill that even Descruger with a healthy Life Vessel is reluctant to use. Dream environment is a heinous magic that can put even Deathcruger, who has immortality as a Life Vessel, in danger. Rather, the fact that Galletto can endure to this extent can be seen as truly remarkable. However, even though Galletto was a transcendental person with crazy mental power, he soon began to show that he had reached his limits. ¡°Damn it¡­.¡± Galletto, who was somehow able to hold on to his dazed mind, muttered indignantly. The battle of his life was something he was happy about, but as Galletto, he did not want to die like this. Even Galletto would have been satisfied if he had endured this and died heroically amidst the pain of blood splattering and flesh being torn. But this kind of death was not what Galletto wanted. It was Galletto who had experienced more pleasure than he could have imagined by receiving Deathcruger¡¯s magic with his whole body. But it ends with me falling into sleep so helplessly. ¡®Like this¡­ in vain¡­¡¯ After this expedition, only the fight he so desperately wanted was waiting for him, so Galletto looked forward to that day and looked forward to it endlessly. Galletto looked around with bleary eyes. Elaine is holding on like she is. But it seems like she has reached her limit now. And I was able to see Dio, who had high expectations for me. He has already collapsed and is sleeping as if he is dead. ¡®¡­.¡¯ There was nothing Galetto could do in this hopeless situation. Let alone a fierce battle, he could not even carry out the mission of the church on his own. Now it is even difficult to lament to oneself. Just when Galletto, who sensed the end, was about to give himself up to a dreamy environment. ¡°Kolok kolok.¡± Dio and Sepia thought that they were probably in a dream. They began to slowly stand up, coughing. Galetto looked at Dio in disbelief. ¡°How is your condition?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any problem.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t take a deep breath. ¡°Protect your body as much as possible with your remaining mana.¡± We can hear their conversation treating the dream environment as simply a foreign object. ¡®What happened? Did you endure it? Acrich¡¯s magic that even I can¡¯t withstand?¡¯ For a moment, Galeto seemed to come to his senses, but it was only Galeto¡¯s illusion. As the dream became more and more severe, Galeto mustered up his last remaining strength and raised his head. ¡°Hey¡­me¡­¡± Galletto couldn¡¯t finish his request for help. Deathrugger oxidized himself for the dream dog, and the only ones around here who came to their senses were Dio and Sepia. Grinning ¨C Even in his daze, Galletto was able to see clearly. Dio smiles an eerie smile. Only then did Galletto realize. Galetto had been forgotten for a while as he was dealing with their common enemy, Acrich. Dio and the Luna Church have a hostile relationship. The common enemy, Acrich, has been oxidized and no longer exists. And Elaine and Galletto are incapacitated. This was the best environment for Dio. It is an environment in which five hostile swords can be dealt with. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 156 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 156Episode 156: Holy Kingdom Atra. Saint Hall is known to be the holiest among the holy cities. A crystal ball was placed in front of Kaleyna, a saint of the Luna Church who was said to be more noble than any other royal family. Surprisingly, the blinking crystal sphere showed Aldur looking quite haggard. ¡°so. What happened? Inquisitor Aldur.¡± Aldur had a high reputation as the owner of the Magic Tower, but to Kaleyna, he was just an inquisitor. In response to Kaleyna¡¯s question, Aldur began to convey the situation he was in with a quite embarrassed expression. [The Witch of Balance appeared in the magic world. I have been banished outside the demon realm by the magic she used.] Upon hearing Aldur¡¯s report, Kalayna¡¯s eyes, which seemed infinitely deep, became even darker. ¡°Can¡¯t you find out the status of the heretic and Acrich there?¡± [Acrich¡¯s Life Vessel has been removed by the Witch of Balance. Perhaps Acrich¡¯s subjugation was successful, but it is difficult to accurately predict the fate of the other party members.] Kaleina noticed that the Witch of Balance also entered the demon realm to prevent the resurrection of the Demon King. However, if this happens, the lives of Elaine and Galletto cannot be guaranteed. ¡°What is Inquisitor Aldur¡¯s location?¡± [This is a remote island. It will take some time to find out the exact location.] From her conversation with Aldur, Kaleina was able to tell that he was quite far away from the Eastern Demon Lord. Kaleyna could well guess what the Witch of Balance¡¯s intention was in sending Aldur away.

Even though she wasn¡¯t able to completely finish the fight, she never thought that Kaleina would recover from her injuries so quickly and appear in the Demon World. Anyway, in addition to his current status, Aldur relayed to Kaleyna all the details of the eastern expedition that had taken place so far. Kaleyna listened carefully to this and gave immediate instructions to Aldur. ¡°Inquisitor Aldur, please return to the parish immediately.¡± [I understand.] Kaleina did not send Aldur back to the demon world. Since the Witch of Balance has already arrived in the Demon World, her mission to punish heretics there is doomed to failure. ¡®Calliope, the Witch of Balance¡­¡¯ Kaleina placed a finger on her throbbing forehead as she remembered the name of the Witch of Balance. Up until now, she had been living quietly, claiming to maintain balance, but Kaleina had recently learned about the existence of the ¡®Seven Stars¡¯ and could no longer sit by and watch her. The most powerful beings among the believers who support the forgotten sun. The time when I began to look into this more deeply was after Clara returned from exploring the forgotten temple. Through Clara¡¯s report, Kaleyna was able to learn much about the forgotten temple. The existence of seven stars and that they have been hiding on the continent for a thousand years, waiting for an opportunity. ¡®It gets annoying when they get together in one place.¡¯ Kaleina had no choice but to admit that the existence of the Seven Stars was the Luna Church¡¯s greatest enemy. Summarizing the information received from Aldur, the Luna Church¡¯s situation seemed very bad. Aldur left the battlefield and there was no way to know what happened to the battlefield after that, so it is unclear whether Galeto and Elaine are alive or dead. The problem arising here was clear. If this eastern expedition succeeds, the credit given will go to Prian and Dio, the leaders of the allied forces excluding the Luna Church. In addition, the Luna Church was unable to complete its mission to deal with Dio. Looking at all these circumstances, there was only one conclusion. It was said that the Luna Church gained nothing from this eastern expedition. Rather, the entire continent may point fingers at the Luna Church, calling it incompetent. but. ¡®D.I.O. If you think that I will just suffer, you are mistaken.¡¯ Kaleina pushed ahead with sending a group of three men with five swords to this eastern expedition, but that did not mean she risked everything on the eastern expedition. After learning that Dio and the Seven Stars believed in the same god, Kaleina planned to deal with them all at once. Although the mission to deal with Dio failed, it was not the other side¡¯s mission. ¡®I¡¯m glad I took care of one of those.¡¯ Calleina, who needed to explore the forgotten temple more precisely, immediately conducted an additional search targeting the temple. The new search party, composed of paladins directly under Kaleina, searched the temple for several days and were able to achieve results after a long period of time. A hidden text was discovered under the icon Clara mentioned. -I will wait for your return in the deepest valley of the South. After receiving this report, Kaleina immediately realized that the place where the words were written was called ¡®Abyssal Valley¡¯. The Abyssal Valley, located deep in the south, was a place that even veteran adventurers did not easily visit due to its extremely rugged terrain. However, Kaleina immediately took action, guessing that the being who left the words was one of the beings called the Seven Stars. It doesn¡¯t concern Kaleina how dangerous that place is. Now that she knew the whereabouts of the Seven Stars, Kaleina was willing to take any risk to deal with him. Kaleina immediately dispatched a search party. Following her orders, the search party was able to risk their lives and reach a place so deep that no one could reach it. A sleeping giant was found there, and the search party immediately reported it to Kaleyna. It is said that a different divine power from the Luna Church can be felt in the giant. Kaleina clearly determined that the giant was a being called the Seven Stars. He immediately sent his loyal confidants to the abyssal valley and succeeded in subduing the giant. And¡­ ¡®The werewolf who hurt Galletto¡­ should have caught him too.¡¯ Not only did she kill the giant, but Kaleina also tracked down the werewolf who had confronted Galeto. A person with enough skill to cause Galetto¡¯s death. However, since the injuries would be so severe, the best option for Kaleina was to hunt the werewolf before it recovered. Accordingly, Scarlett, one of the five swords, was immediately dispatched, but unfortunately no trace of the werewolf was found. Unlike the giants, the ending was not as clean, but compared to the other seven stars, the werewolves were not that much of a threat to Kaleyna. According to Galeto¡¯s report, not only was the injury an injury, but the werewolf¡¯s mental state was extremely unstable. Thanks to Kaleina¡¯s quick response, we were able to achieve this level of success, but that does not mean that the Luna Church¡¯s situation is good. In the end, the Luna Church suffered a significant loss of power in the eastern expedition. ¡®What on earth did he hear from the Solari?¡¯ Recently, Kaleina had a hard time hiding her distraught feelings every time she thought of Dio. Kaleina had to always maintain a noble appearance. Only then will Luna¡¯s status not fall. The only one who can stand against the darkness is Kaleina herself, and the moment she becomes distracted, the darkness will take advantage and throw the continent into chaos. However, even though she tried to make up her mind, the existence of Dio was completely incomprehensible to Kaleina. No, it seemed like the existence of Dio was outside the realm of Kaleina¡¯s understanding. No matter what Kaleina did, Dio always looked ahead and dealt with it. ¡®I already knew that I would mobilize five swords in the expedition to subdue the Eastern Demon Lord.¡¯ Otherwise, the Witch of Balance sends Aldur away at just the right time and isolates the other two Five Swords. Because the right situation wouldn¡¯t have happened for Dio. ¡®Huh!?¡¯ After thinking for a while, Kaleyna flinched from the pain stabbing her chest. It¡¯s not because of the stress I get from D.O. Kaleina felt a huge amount of divine power draining from her. But even at that moment, Kaleyna spread her palms to gather strength without a change in her expression. The saintess of Luna must never be shaken. ¡®no way¡­?¡¯ Kaleina tried to remember why the divine power was drained. But I can¡¯t think of a good reason. ¡®Dio and the Witch of Balance are in the Eastern Demonic World. Could it be that they finished all their work and found the place? No, that¡¯s impossible.¡¯ No matter how much he thought about it, it was true that Kaleyna¡¯s divine power had weakened. Kaleina sensed that now was the time to take action rather than speculate about an impossible situation. ¡°pole.¡± ¡°Yes, saint.¡± As if you were always by my side. At Kaleina¡¯s call, the Archbishop of Atra appeared kneeling before the saint. His expression was as cold as Kaleina¡¯s, but there was a deep scar on his right cheek that wasn¡¯t there before. ¡°How is your body?¡± ¡°Thanks to the saint¡¯s grace, I completely recovered. ¡°Just give me an order.¡± The five swords of the Luna Church and the Archbishop of the Holy Kingdom of Atra. Paul Eppenhaus. There were various nicknames and titles for him, but most people call him this. The last Heretic Questioner. The five swords are said to be swords for the saint, but among them, Paul is so trusted by the saint that he is called the ¡®last sword¡¯. It was none other than Paul who Kaleina sent to the valley of the abyss, and as always, he did not disappoint the saint. He recently returned to Atra by killing the seven giants believed to be hiding in the south under Kaleina¡¯s orders. Upon his return, Paul also suffered significant injuries, but thanks to Kaleina¡¯s personal treatment, he has now fully recovered. Except for one scar. After a fierce battle, the giant left a scar on Paul that even divine power could not erase, and Kaleina was able to see that the existence of the seven stars was not easy. ¡°Head to the Eastern Demonic Palace right now. ¡°The location of the altar built by Acrich to revive the Demon King has been identified.¡± Kaleina recalled Aldur¡¯s report and relayed it to Paul. It seems that the Witch of Balance also appeared in the demon world to prevent the resurrection of the Demon King, but in order to confirm this for sure, Kaleina needed to check for herself. In addition, there is a need to find out whether the other five swords of Demon Lord are alive or dead. ¡°All right.¡± Paul accepted the saint¡¯s instructions without any disagreement and immediately disappeared. As if the saint¡¯s black questions were not necessary. Kaleina slowly closed her eyes as she looked at the empty space where Paul had disappeared. The continent will certainly be shaken by the eastern expedition. The forgotten god has been resurrected. The confusion of not having to rely on Luna anymore. Kaleina was lost in thought for a while. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 157 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 157Episode 157: The place engulfed by the dream environment was transformed into a strange place that seemed to be covered with dark clouds. The allied forces commanded by Prince Prian also fell asleep one by one. If this is left as is, it seems only a matter of time before the Allied forces are annihilated. The dream environment initially causes the subject to fall into sleep, but then the subject¡¯s body melts at the cost of continuing the dream. However, Dio knew exactly how long the human body could survive in a dream environment. We must finish this eastern expedition while no one can see us during this time. So, I woke up a little later after Deathrugger cast Dream Dream. ¡°It was hard to act.¡± Dio brushed off the dust from his clothes and walked towards Elaine and Galetto. While laughing at them a lot. ¡°You¡­how?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t know the dream environment, there is no answer, but if you know it, it is easy to deal with it.¡± When Galletto asked how he could be fine, Dio waved an empty medicine bottle at him. The sleeping gas, which spreads at a much higher density than the Eternal Rest, is powerful enough to affect even Descruger himself. If you use this pattern, you will not be able to land a last hit on Deathrugger, which will result in loss of experience points, so the stagnant players devise a way to block it in advance. However, even though he knew the method, Dio waited for the guy to obediently cast the dream. Because only then can you shake off the five damn swords. Anyway, Dio, who knew the signs of Deathcruger, took the extra top-quality resistance potion in advance. This is a potion with the blessing of the sun applied in addition to the highest-quality resistance potion used in Eternal Rest. Dio said that it is easy to deal with dream conditions if you are aware of them, but in reality, this is not that easy. In the first place, manufacturing a top-quality resistance potion itself is a task that requires great difficulty. ¡®It¡¯s a shame that I raised a character to max level.¡¯ Dio took out his sword, feeling grateful to the Great Old Stumps who generously gave him leaves. ¡°I think I need to get something from you that I can¡¯t get from Descruger.¡± ¡°What¡­what. ¡°You mean?¡± S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Galletto, sensing a crisis, stumbled and opened his mouth. It¡¯s amazing that he¡¯s still able to hold on to this level of mental strength. However, Deathcruger¡¯s dream environment is not just magic that can be endured with just mental strength. Dio answered Galletto¡¯s question with a grin. ¡°Experience.¡± Sigh! Dio¡¯s sword was instantly inserted into Galeto¡¯s chest. However, Dio¡¯s attack was not deep. This is because Galletto, who was holding on with amazing mental strength, grabbed Dio¡¯s blade with both hands. ¡°Did you hide this¡­cowardly¡­power?¡± Galetto speaks, squeezing out all his remaining strength. Galeto could tell because he received Dio¡¯s attack with murderous intent. Dio is now much stronger than the last time he unleashed his power. And this was actually what Galletto felt. Now that the Centipede Knight has been defeated and Deathcruger is dead, Dio has gained a lot of experience. ¡®Did you figure it out in this short moment? After all, five swords are dangerous.¡¯ Dio was appalled by Galletto¡¯s tenacity and sharpness. I must have been out of my mind because I was in a dream, but I was able to understand the level of strength of the other person in an instant. Considering Galetto¡¯s level, it doesn¡¯t make total sense that he could resist the dream environment to this extent. Dio used his sword again to quickly finish off Galeto, as there might be a problem. But something moved before Dio. Sigh! Unlike Dio¡¯s attack, which only wounded him, the shadow blade completely pierced Galetto¡¯s chest. ¡°Cough!¡± Galletto turned around, coughing up blood. And what he saw was Evelyn¡¯s shadow armor that imitated Dio¡¯s appearance. Evelyn also took the potion given by Dio and was not affected by the dream environment. In response, Dio looked into Galetto¡¯s eyes again and opened his mouth. ¡°I¡¯m sorry I couldn¡¯t keep my promise. But you know what?¡± Dio delivered his last words to Galletto, whose eyes were red and bloodshot. ¡°You like fighting for your own enjoyment? At least there is no such person here.¡± thud! Galletto, who had been pierced through the heart, fell forward. Galeto Houndstooth, a five-handed sword that longed for battle. It was a shabby death, unbecoming of someone who was said to be the greatest fighting fanatic on the continent. * * * Dio watched the fallen Galetto in silence for a while. Perhaps Dio might have spared Galetto if he had tried to approach the truth on his side rather than the Luna Church rather than simply fighting. However, as a result of what I have observed so far, I can see that Galletto cannot be used as his chess piece. ¡®Because the person I need is not someone who only asks for personal interests.¡¯ In the case of Prian and Agram, they also accepted Dio¡¯s suggestions or cooperated for their own benefit. However, his actions after that are completely different from Galletto. If Prian is appointed as the crown prince, he will generously help Dio and lead the sun god Solari. If Agram also establishes a kingdom, he will build a temple to the sun. Or, you could even establish a holy nation. This is for their own benefit, and coexisting with D.O. is beneficial in many ways, so it is a natural choice for them. But the case of Galletto is different. He only seeks to fight for himself. This may be helpful as a combatant, but it also creates variables where you don¡¯t know where you will end up. Variables are the most dangerous factor that causes Dio¡¯s plan to go astray. It is not a good idea for Dio to embrace this and be with Galleto. So Dio quickly made a decision. It means to definitely nip the variable lump called Galeto in the bud. ¡®I alone am enough of a selfish person.¡¯ Dio turned back with a bitter smile. Sephia used the last mana contained in ¡®Provision of the Sun¡¯ to cast Sanctuary Declaration once again. It doesn¡¯t matter if Sepia¡¯s mana isn¡¯t enough to wake you up from a dream. Dio has the highest quality resistance potion left, so what he lacks can be replaced with this. Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at once the desire to sleep is not easily shaken off? However, the dream environment has a scary debuff called ¡®destruction of the status quo¡¯, and solving it is no different from just having a refreshing sleep. Therefore, there is no big problem even if you cannot wake up right away. Thanks to the sepia purifying the surroundings, the dark clouds caused by the dream environment began to gradually disappear. With some visibility, Agram approached Dio and asked. ¡°Kkehaam¡­huu. ¡°Is the fight over?¡± ¡°Yes, Descruger¡¯s dreamscape won¡¯t last very long. Please gather the injured together. ¡°Please take care of the prince instead of me.¡± The reason why Dio did not take the potion to Prince Prian was simple. This was because it would not be good for the prince to see him kill Galletto. Prian is aware that the relationship between the Luna Church and Dio is not good, but they are part of the allied force that defeated the Demon Lord together. Prion was very likely to perceive the situation itself, where allies were pointing swords at each other in the middle of the battlefield, negatively. Killing a priest here is a serious crime. Moreover, the five swords are of very high status among the priests. Dio needs to maintain a friendly relationship with Prian going forward. There was no need to show any behavior that would displease him. ¡°Cleaning up after work is also my specialty. As long as the compensation is generous. But¡­¡± Agram trailed off and pointed his finger behind Dio. ¡°What does he plan to do?¡± High elf Elaine. She still couldn¡¯t fall asleep, resisting the dream. Elaine¡¯s arms were trembling as she held on to the bow, but she paid no attention to it and looked at Dio with eyes full of anger. ¡°I still have something to ask you.¡± ¡°If you want to deal with it, you¡¯ll have to do it quickly. ¡°You may be doing it for a great cause, but others may just see it as a murder scene.¡± Agram, who was completely on Dio¡¯s side, gave some joking advice. ¡°I listen deeply.¡± Dio grinned at Agram, and Agram turned his back and walked away. To join Dio¡¯s group who were taking care of the injured earlier. ¡°Now it¡¯s just the two of us.¡± The only people left around are Dio and Elaine. Dio approached Elaine, who was kneeling on one knee, crouched down to meet her gaze, and opened his mouth. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a coward too?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Elaine had no response to Dio¡¯s words. Like Galetto, he was barely holding on with his mental strength. ¡°I won¡¯t bother making excuses. But your goal was to kill me too, right? ¡°I just acted first to protect myself.¡± Dio, who was explaining at length that it was self-defense, looked indifferently at Elaine, who was still silent. Perhaps thanks to the help of the forest spirit, Elaine was not easily consumed by the dream environment. But that¡¯s it. The fact that his movements were restricted, like that of Galletto, who died before him, did not change. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I kill you right away, unlike Galleto?¡± Dio brought up the questions Elaine might have had on her behalf. Now is the best chance to deal with the Luna Church from him. ¡°¡­.¡± It was natural for Elaine to be genuinely curious about the story Dio told. However, Dio slowly got up from his seat, as if he had no intention of telling this directly. ¡°Just wait.¡± Alain, who was barely able to speak out of his dream, raised his arms to grab Dio. In response, Dio still walked backwards slowly without answering, and along with this, another sound of footsteps was heard in Elaine¡¯s ears. Jumbles ¨C Footsteps heard on the rugged land of the devil¡¯s land. Why? The reason why Elaine feels familiar with the simple sound of bee steps. Saaaaaak ¨C A figure appeared from a dark cloud covered in a dream environment. At this, Elaine widened her eyes as if she couldn¡¯t believe it. Is what I see before my eyes a dream shown by a dream environment? Otherwise, Elaine shouldn¡¯t stay like this right now. He had to tear the enemy of that clan to death with his own hands right now. ¡°This traitor!!¡± For a moment, Elaine¡¯s ferocious cry, having overcome the dream environment, rang out in the demonic realm. Despite Elaine¡¯s anger, Crassus did not say anything. Because I understand. Because I fully understand the feelings she and her people have towards her for destroying the World Tree. ¡°sorry.¡± All Crassus could say to Elaine was an apology. It is an apology for hiding the truth from everyone in order to complete the World Tree¡¯s mission and for leaving Elaine¡¯s younger sister alone. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 158 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 158Episode 158: Blood flowed from Elaine¡¯s mouth. I bit my lip to shake off the dream. ¡°dare! ¡°What kind of face do you have to appear before my eyes?¡± As Elaine¡¯s anger soared through the sky, Dio thought for a moment that she had overcome the dream. In fact, Elaine¡¯s anger made her free even in a dream state for a moment, and the power she gave off was directed at Crassus. However, Crassus is a being called a pentagram like Deathrugger. Elaine, who couldn¡¯t possibly be sane, didn¡¯t even make the slightest move. ¡°I¡¯ll explain everything when I wake up.¡± ¡°Yes, you¡­¡± Crassus¡¯s palm covered Elaine¡¯s face. Elaine tried to say something more, but she kept swallowing her words as if her voice couldn¡¯t come out. As her anger subsides, the dreamscape begins to come again. Elaine¡¯s eyes slowly closed and she fell into a deep sleep. Crassus caught her as she fell forward and carefully laid her on the ground. Elaine¡¯s expression, which was filled with anger just a moment ago, looks infinitely more comfortable. Am I having a good dream? Or did he run away into a dream to escape reality? * * * ¡°Did you finish your work well?¡± Dio opened his mouth to Crassus, who was watching Elain sleeping. ¡°Like you said, it was easily accessible.¡± ¡°What is the World Tree?¡± In response to Dio¡¯s question, Crassus took out an arrow covered in soot and showed it to him. It was none other than Nidhog, which Dio gave to Crassus. It was clearly the remains of Nidhogg, a legendary disposable weapon. ¡°It was a success.¡± The only time Crassus uses Nidhogg is to destroy the World Tree. As a result, Dio learned that Crassus had successfully destroyed the World Tree as he had instructed. ¡®Okay, if this happens, the saintess will have lost a lot of her strength, right? The brainwashed World Tree would have been continuously losing its power to Luna.¡¯ Dio sighed because things went as well as he expected. I ran non-stop to a really far place. Of course, in order to reach this conclusion, the help of the seven stars was enormous. Dio before the Allied forces marched in the east. I recalled the time when I had a meeting with the Seven Stars. Walpurgis Night. * * * Temberg, the retreat of the seven stars. Walpurgis Night, which originally started here, takes place at regular intervals. But this time it was not an official Walpurgis Night. This Walpurgis Night was held at the request of Solari¡¯s great warrior Dio, so most of the seven stars were absent, but it didn¡¯t matter. Because, except for Calliope, the only seven stars Dio needed was Crassus. Accordingly, Dio asked Calliope to meet with Crassus so they could talk, and Calliope contacted Crassus right away. Three beings gathered like that. Dio, the Great Warrior of the Sun. Calliope, the Witch of Balance. Dark Elf Crassus. As soon as everyone gathered, Dio got to the point. ¡°We will form a large allied force in the east.¡± Dio briefly conveyed the news that the allied forces to subdue Acrich hiding in the Eastern Demon Region would now depart immediately. Calliope, who already knew this, smiled seductively at Dio and opened her mouth. ¡°Has the sun given a revelation? ¡°I wasn¡¯t told anything.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a role for each person?¡± Dio was taken aback by Calliope¡¯s meaningful words. ¡°What you say is probably what the sun is saying. okay. ¡°How can we help?¡± The request to Calliope was simple. The task is to seize Deathcruger¡¯s Life Vessel while the Allied Forces¡¯ main force is concentrating Deathcruger¡¯s attention. ¡°Then what do I do? ¡°Is there something I need to take care of by going to the East?¡± Crassus, who had not paid much attention to what was happening in the East, frowned. The requests that Dio has mentioned so far are things that Calliope can do on her own. In response, Dio waved his finger at Crassus. ¡°Master Crassus will move separately from us.¡± Dio smiled at Crassus, who had an inexplicable expression on his face. Crassus has only one concern now. world tree. For Crassus, who had a mission to destroy it, it was not that important whether the Demon King was resurrected in the East or not. No, I wouldn¡¯t go so far as to say it¡¯s not important, but it means that nothing is more important to Crassus than the work of the World Tree. ¡°Do you know where the World Tree sapling is?¡± ¡°!!¡± Crassus¡¯s eyes opened wide at Dio¡¯s words. Crassus had been struggling to find the sapling of the World Tree for a long time. However, no matter how hard Crassus tried, he could not find any trace of the seed left by the World Tree. Accordingly, Crassus focused on gathering information by secretly going in and out of the Elven Forest where the World Tree was originally located. However, even with this method, he still could not find any trace of the World Tree, and while he was blaming himself for his helplessness, he received a call from Calliope and came here. ¡°Do you know where the World Tree is?¡± ¡°Sure. Solari mentioned it recently.¡± In response to Crassus¡¯ urgent question, Dio lied without blinking. Because Dio knew the location of the World Tree sapling from the beginning. After the World Tree was destroyed, the elves decided that it was impossible to protect it with their own strength. So the place that requested help was none other than the Luna Church. The Luna Church worked with the elves to hide the World Tree sapling in a forest located in the southwest. It is in a place called ¡®Forest of Maze¡¯ by players. Dio unfolded the continental map he had prepared in advance and pointed out the exact location of the World Tree sapling. ¡°I can¡¯t believe it. ¡°I never thought you would immediately find traces that had not been found for hundreds of years.¡± Crassus¡¯s words made Dio feel a prick inside, but he did not show it. Didn¡¯t he have a good excuse: Solari¡¯s Revelation? ¡°As soon as the expedition departs, Crassus, please destroy the World Tree. ¡°You have Nidhogg in good condition, right?¡± ¡°of course.¡± As soon as this mission involved the World Tree, Crassus¡¯s mood changed in an instant. There is no need to explain in detail how to destroy the World Tree. Dio assured that if he knew the location, he would be able to succeed with Crassus¡¯ abilities. Dio had more than once prevented the invasion of Crassus from the Forest of Labyrinth. ¡®Crasus is not called the Pentagram for nothing.¡¯ Of course, the elves and the Luna Church guarding the maze forest will be heavily guarded, but the situation is different this time. The player who always stood on the side of the World Tree stood on Crassus¡¯ side this time. Dio did not need to worry about how Crassus would invade the Forest of Labyrinth and destroy the World Tree. ¡°And take this.¡± Dio opened his inventory and handed over one item. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Totem of Solidarity] Grade: Unique Classification: Tool Level limit: 300 Effect: When used, you can quickly move near the target specified on the mark. Number of uses: 1 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio explained the use of the item to Crassus, who was handed a small coin that looked rusty. ¡°If you use this, you will be able to meet me quickly.¡± The person assigned to the Totem of Solidarity mark was Dio. It is a useful item that, if Crassus uses it, will allow him to finish the job and join the team quickly. ¡°What a convenient item. ¡°I guess there¡¯s no need for teleportation?¡± ¡°It is that precious. Anyway, Crassus, who has finished his work at the World Tree, needs to join us. ¡°If something happens due to variables, we need to get together again and come up with a solution.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Dio had also considered that Crassus might fail to destroy the World Tree. ¡°I just have to destroy the Life Vessel, right? ¡°Am I the easiest?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not destruction. ¡°It¡¯s a takeover.¡± Dio corrected Calliope¡¯s words. ¡°Decapitation? ¡°What are you going to do with it?¡± S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°If you purify Acrich¡¯s Life Vessel, it can be quite useful.¡± ¡°okay?¡± Calliope made a curious expression at Dio¡¯s words. However, we had to consider the variables that would arise from takeover rather than destruction. ¡°Then what happens when the Demon King is resurrected?¡± ¡°It won¡¯t happen. Even if Acrich succeeds in resurrecting the Demon King, he will be weak as the seal will soon be released.¡± Dio recalled the days of the Order Board. The stage on which the Demon King appears is clearly set in the scenario on the order board. The devil mentioned here refers to a devil in a state where he can exert his full power. ¡®It felt like a bit of a taste of the Demon King being resurrected as Deathrugger.¡¯ Accordingly, even if the Demon King was resurrected, Dio was not too worried because he had a plan for the next time. ¡°If things go wrong, give me a signal. If that doesn¡¯t work, just leave. ¡°It would be dangerous to confront even an unstable demon lord head-on.¡± ¡°Be kind. ¡°Are you worried about me?¡± Calliope giggled and Dio sighed and opened his mouth again seriously. ¡°It would be nice if everything went according to plan, but you always have to keep variables in mind.¡± Dio looked alternately at Calliope and Crassus, who were paying attention to him. Although they are powerful beings called the Seven Stars, Dio knows that there are more terrifying beings than them. ¡°The Saint of Luna is by no means a soft person.¡± Walpurgis Night passed with Dio¡¯s warning, which reminded him of Kaleina. * * * ¡°Are you hurt anywhere?¡± After finishing his reminiscence, Dio asked how Crassus was doing. Crassus, who had obviously fought a fierce battle to destroy the World Tree, appeared somehow to be in good condition. Even though it was an attack and defense without players participating, even taking that into account, I didn¡¯t expect Dio to be this fine. I was curious about this and was about to ask how the World Tree was destroyed, but Crassus answered first. ¡°As you can see, there is no problem. Oh, I just got a call from Calliope too.¡± ¡°is it so? ¡°What happened there?¡± ¡°It seems like it worked out well. Calliope will be here soon.¡± As soon as Crassus finished speaking, a new person suddenly appeared next to Dio. ¡°Hello everyone! how have you been doing?¡± Calliope, showing off her fascinating appearance, waved her hand at Dio and Crassus. ¡°Did you handle the Life Vessel well?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we talk about work later?¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Calliope smiled and snapped her fingers. Hwaak- The fog of the dream environment, which Sepia worked hard to purify, dissipated in an instant. Only then did Dio see the Allied forces slowly waking up from their sleep. ¡°Ugh-¡± ¡°I was definitely fighting a demon beast¡­¡± ¡°What on earth happened?¡± Dio¡¯s group and the injured people Agram worked hard to gather in one place. They were moaning here and there and tossing and turning to wake their still dazed minds. ¡°Maybe we should send it to the East first?¡± ¡°please.¡± Dio nodded at Calliope¡¯s suggestion, and a huge magic circle began to be drawn under the battlefield where the Allies fought. Since we couldn¡¯t leave the dead, let alone the injured, in this ominous demon world, we sent the entire space away. Jiiiing ¨C It took quite a long time for the magic circle to be completed as a large number of people had to be moved. Now that the battle is over, there are about 200 surviving Allied forces. Although we suffered quite a bit of damage, sacrificing this much of our troops to capture the Descruger could be seen as a successful ending. As for compensation¡­a high-ranking person, whether a prince or an emperor, will take care of it. Shoo shoo shoo ¨C Eventually, Calliope¡¯s magic circle was completed and began to be activated immediately. An amazing phenomenon where so many people disappeared in an instant. But not everyone moved. A group of people standing on the pitch black land that suddenly became empty. Dio¡¯s companions. Calliope and Crassus. And only Elaine was left in the lonely magic world. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 159 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 159Episode 159 A cool breeze enveloped the vast forest. Fallen leaves dancing in the wind. Children running around with a large stump in the center. A leaf fell on the cute palm of one of the children. -Eline! Elaine, who was excitedly shaking a leaf, smiled brightly when she heard a voice calling her. The person Elaine loves the most. Elaine jumped off the stump and ran to the person she loved and respected the most. ¡°brother!¡± Crassus lifted Elaine in his arms and rode her on the wooden horse in a familiar manner. Memories of when Elaine was happiest. It was none other than taking a walk in the forest with her older brother. I walked with him through the dense elven forest and played with the animals. Even all the plants living in the elven forest blessed the Elfinelud siblings for their happiness to last forever. However, the eternal happiness that the forest hoped for was not given to Elaine. Suddenly, the wind in the forest stopped for a moment. Elaine noticed that Crassus, who had been holding her hand just a moment ago, had disappeared. ¡°brother?¡± Elaine blinked and turned her head here and there to look for Crassus. Hahaha! The wind blowing through the forest again. But it wasn¡¯t the pleasant refreshing breeze it was before. The unpleasant smell of coal carried by the wind scared Elaine, who was still young. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! The majestic forest catches fire in an instant. At this, the screams of the elves living in the forest echoed everywhere. -Aaaah! -Everyone run away! -mom! dad! The flame burned fiercely. Why does the Elven Forest, which is under the protection of the World Tree, leave that huge fire alone? Could it be that there is a problem with the World Tree? Elaine¡¯s anxiety was exactly correct. Faaah! A huge world tree appeared before Elaine¡¯s eyes. However, the World Tree was different from what Elaine had always seen. The World Tree, which seemed to always maintain its beauty, was on fire. ¡°Oppa¡­ where are you?¡± Elaine looked for Crassus in fear. But despite her pathetic calls, Crassus was nowhere to be seen. Damn it, the pillars of the majestic world tree are slowly falling down. Quang! The World Tree, whose beautiful blue light had faded, fell down with a loud sound. Elaine could see beyond the thick flames and smoke. Crassus with tanned skin. Was my skin burned by the hot flames? Elaine stretched out her hand towards Crassus, who looked sad for some reason. I believed that my brother would come running to me like he always did. But¡­ ¡°It¡¯s Crassus! ¡°That guy burned down the World Tree!¡± ¡°catch!¡± ¡°Catch the traitor!¡± Numerous elves pushed Elain away and ran towards Crassus. It was only then that Elaine, who had been falling, realized. Why the World Tree is on fire. This was all done by Crassus. Why on earth did that happen? Why did Crassus turn his back on his own people? For decades after that. Elaine kept asking herself such questions in her mind. In the process, doubts faded away and only great hatred remained. And I made a promise. I promise to punish the traitor with my own hands. * * * ¡°Huh!¡± Elaine woke up sweating so much that the floor was wet. And then I realized that the vision I had seen so far was a dream. Before Elaine¡¯s eyes, she saw the enemy of the clan she hated so much. ¡°die!¡± Elaine, who had only murderous intent left in Crassus, shouted. However, Elaine could not realize her wish to kill Crassus. Something was constricting her body and preventing her from moving. ¡°I can¡¯t solve this!¡± Elaine struggled and shouted at the people watching her. In response, Dio comforted Elaine and opened his mouth. ¡°calm down.¡± ¡°Calm down!¡± Do you know what that guy did? I burned the World Tree! ¡°The author destroyed everything we had!¡± Elaine can¡¯t calm down at all. Evelyn, who was next to Dio, gave Dio a suggestion with an expression of annoyance. ¡°Should I cover my mouth?¡± ¡°No, don¡¯t do that.¡± Dio looked at Crassus, who was looking at Elain in confusion, and stopped Eveline¡¯s actions. It was Eveline¡¯s shadow magic that was currently blocking Elaine¡¯s movements. Of course, it would be difficult to capture Elaine with Evelyn alone. Because Elaine was much higher level than Evelyn. Nevertheless, the reason he was able to stop Elaine from going on a rampage was because of the help of Dio¡¯s items. Among the shackles items, this is an item that can seal even the transcendental. It was thanks to the [Sealing Diamond Bracelet]. ¡®It¡¯s a unique item made for interrogation.¡¯ Dio was confident that Elaine, who was currently struggling, would not be able to break the chains no matter what he did, so he had no worries about Elaine¡¯s threats. Various measures were taken, but Elaine had been fighting Deathcruger, so a lot of her strength had been used up. ¡®It seems like the dream environment has completely disappeared.¡¯ Dio watched Elaine closely and checked her condition. After Elaine fell asleep, Dio took several measures to resolve the curse that had taken root in her body. Not only Sepia¡¯s divine power, but also the highest level resistance potion to make sure. As a result, she was able to reliably eliminate the ¡®destruction of the status quo¡¯ of the dream environment that was covering her mind. ¡°You bastard! I¡¯ve been building up my strength for hundreds of years to kill you! ¡°You will definitely die to me today!¡± Elaine spits out all kinds of curses at Crassus even when she is pinned down. And looking at Crassus just listening to this in silence, it was a very strange situation. If someone who doesn¡¯t know him sees him tied up, he looks more like Crassus. ¡®Crassus. It¡¯s quite kind to the family.¡¯ Dio clearly remembered what it was like when Crassus invaded to destroy the sapling of the World Tree. At that time, Crassus may have been filled with a sense of duty, but he did not show his sister the same affectionate expression as he does now. ¡®Well, it must be a lot different now.¡¯ Dio fought Crassus on the same side as Elaine. At that time, Elain personally stopped Crassus, but now the situation is very different. Without giving Elaine a chance to stop him, Crassus quickly destroyed the World Tree in her absence using the information provided by Dio. ¡®Polluted world tree. ¡®How can we make Elaine believe this?¡¯ When Dio killed Crassus for a quest related to the World Tree, he was able to hear the background about Elaine. So, although this situation was fully understandable now, it did not mean that Dio knew more about the relationship between Crassus and Elaine than they did. Dio doesn¡¯t know whether Elaine is simply being brainwashed by the polluted World Tree or whether she simply has hatred for Crassus, who destroyed the World Tree. ¡°Mr Crassus. What did you do with the World Tree?¡± Dio left Eline, who was having a fit, for now and asked Crassus something he was curious about. I can¡¯t say that the current conversation is appropriate for the situation, but it was also necessary for Dio. By talking to Crassus, you can find out things you didn¡¯t know and tell Elaine the truth. So he teleported everyone away and woke Elaine up from her sleep. Crassus, who noticed this, also took his eyes off Elaine and opened his mouth towards Dio. ¡°Yes¡­just as you said, there was a sapling of the World Tree there. ¡°The security was quite tight and there were priests from the Luna Church.¡± ¡°How on earth did we find that place? Luna Church bastards! They leaked information! After all, humans shouldn¡¯t be trusted!¡± Elain¡¯s anger grew stronger at Crassus¡¯ words. Accordingly, Dio felt that there was a need to share more stories about the past, even for himself and Elaine. Dio said, stroking his chin. ¡°It¡¯s not a sapling¡­ Could you please explain from when Crassus first destroyed the World Tree?¡± Dio did not know the details of how the World Tree was polluted. Things related to the World Tree were things that Solari did not mention, and they were things from a long time ago that Dio had not experienced as a player. Knowing the background of the seven stars that will become powerful allies in the future is one of the tasks that Dio must solve. Aside from that, I was honestly curious. This is how Crassus destroyed the World Tree and escaped the elves¡¯ pursuit. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Crassus closed his eyes for a moment. It wasn¡¯t to avoid Dio¡¯s question, but because he had to remember something from the distant past. * * * Before the sun god Solari was forgotten by people. More than a thousand years ago, elves, like humans, believed in various gods. This is because the elves could also see the actions of the gods who protected the continent. The sun bestows blessings upon people, wishing them good harvests. The moon that prevents the invasion of demonic beasts that hide in the dark and commit murder. Accordingly, the elves accepted the gods¡¯ good will. Even so, the basis for the existence of the elves has always been the world tree. The mana produced by the World Tree is the source of the elves. But a thousand years ago. Even though the gods were protecting it, darkness came to the continent. People trembled with fear in that pitch-black darkness. Even the gods who protected people were quickly devoured by darkness. It was an instant before the continent was engulfed in fire and darkness. The sun¡¯s protection that protects everyone is slowly starting to crack. And along with humanity¡¯s last line of defense, the sun also set. The fall of Solari. An era of great chaos has truly arrived on the continent. However, the elves were in a better situation than the humans. Even though God disappeared, the World Tree was protecting them. ¡°But that was everyone¡¯s mistake.¡± Crassus spoke bitterly. An era of confusion. The reason Solari fell was because Luna expressed a desire that had been hidden for a long time. ¡°Luna colluded with the darkness and polluted the continent. ¡°It was natural for the world tree, which had taken root on the continent, to also be polluted.¡± ¡°lie! ¡°It can¡¯t be!¡± S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Elaine shouted, unable to believe that the World Tree had been engulfed in darkness. However, Crassus continued speaking regardless of Elaine¡¯s denial. ¡°Most elves did not notice that the World Tree was polluted. ¡°Because they gave us a good reason to move.¡± The polluted World Tree sacrificed the gods in the name of protecting the elves. Among them, Solari is the most powerful. The polluted World Tree incited the elves, saying that Solari had brought darkness. A message from the World Tree that if Solari disappears, the continent can regain peace. Accordingly, the elves purged the elves who believed in Solari without any suspicion. ¡°It was only when I saw my compatriots pointing their swords at each other that I realized. ¡°Something is wrong.¡± Crassus looked at Elaine, recalling the incident. ¡°The World Tree chose me like that. ¡°I gave you a mission.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be possible.¡± ¡°A mission to destroy yourself.¡± At Crassus¡¯s words, Elaine shook her head, saying it couldn¡¯t be true. But Crassus did not hide it any longer. The truth at that time. That the World Tree itself chose death for the survival of the elves. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 160 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 160Episode 160 ¡°Eline. This is the truth. I wasn¡¯t corrupted by darkness. Luna brainwashed us elves through the World Tree.¡± ¡°Do not be ridiculous!¡± ¡°Come to your senses. ¡°Our enemy is not the sun.¡± Crassus strongly questioned Elaine, who could not accept the truth. ¡°The world tree we believe in no longer exists in this world. ¡°It means there is no world tree protecting us.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all lies!¡± Elaine closed her eyes and shouted as if she didn¡¯t want to listen to Crassus¡¯ words anymore. Crassus sighed and turned his gaze back to Dio. ¡°I destroyed the World Tree. ¡°That¡¯s what the World Tree wanted.¡± ¡°So the elves were freed from Luna¡¯s brainwashing?¡± ¡°no. The World Tree was not completely destroyed. But we succeeded in weakening the brainwashing.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s question, Crassus announced that destroying the World Tree was not in vain. Because of this, some strong elves were able to completely escape Luna¡¯s brainwashing and transform into dark elves. ¡°The dark elves prove that they have overcome Luna¡¯s curse. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for their help, I would have been killed by Luna a long time ago.¡± After meeting Crassus, Dio was doubtful as to whether all the dark elves were on the side of the sun, but now he can be sure. Dark Elves are a race that fights against the Luna Church on the side of Solari. ¡°We thought that in time all the elves would know the truth. But that was a complacent idea.¡± Seeds left behind by the World Tree. It was able to sprout again thanks to the Luna Church. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, Crassus and the dark elves realized that the world tree that sprouted like that was completely different from the world tree that had been guarded for thousands of years. The World Tree grown by Luna would literally be a puppet of the Luna Church. ¡°So that¡¯s how it happened. By the way, what did you do with the World Tree saplings hidden in the Maze Forest? ¡°The expenses must have been significant.¡± ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± Crassus was about to answer Dio¡¯s question, but the sound of a beautiful lute in the air interrupted their conversation. ¡°I helped.¡± A being that tore through space while humorously playing the lute. It was the appearance of Kalphael, one of the seven stars. * * * ¡°This is disappointing. Dear Dio. ¡°You¡¯re leaving me out of this.¡± ¡®I heard the story while hiding.¡¯ Dio wasn¡¯t that surprised by Kalphael¡¯s appearance. Kalfael is a person who claims to be the gatekeeper of Temberk. He was always in Temberg, and when Dio urgently conducted Walpurgis Night, he must have heard the whole story. ¡°With illusion magic that distorts vision, infiltration is a piece of cake.¡± Kalphael smiled triumphantly and strummed his lute, and Crassus did not particularly deny his swagger. Thanks to this, they were able to completely destroy the World Tree saplings without killing their fellow elves. ¡°Crassus. ¡°How are you feeling now?¡± Kalphael¡¯s sudden question about Crassus¡¯s feelings. Other people who heard this did not immediately understand Kalphael¡¯s words, but Dio was able to guess to some extent. ¡®Right. If it¡¯s Kalfael, he can undo Elaine¡¯s brainwashing, which she hasn¡¯t completely escaped.¡¯ Kalphael is a person Dio has never seen before on the Order Board, but he has already seen its abilities in Temberk. Most transcendental people who mastered magic possessed enough magical abilities to manipulate reality. However, among those Dio knew, there was no one better at manipulating reality than Kalphael. This means that it is even better than Calliope, who is watching this with interest. ¡°Stop talking nonsense and start quickly.¡± ¡°Do not worry too much. ¡°It will be fine.¡± Kalphael smiled as if he understood Crassus¡¯s feelings and approached Elaine. At this, Elaine struggled more violently and screamed. ¡°What are you starting? ¡°Can¡¯t you solve this right now?¡± It was natural that the presence of a clown who suddenly appeared and told unknown stories felt very burdensome to Elaine. Elain struggled to escape the restraints as she saw Kalphael approaching her. However, it was not enough to escape from Dio¡¯s items. ¡°It will be over soon.¡± Kalphael, who was smiling the whole time, gently placed his hand on Elain¡¯s bound head. Kalfael, ignoring Elaine, who was disgusted by this and was trying to struggle, opened his mouth to the audience who were watching this. ¡°Now then, shall we try to remove the illusion with illusion magic?¡± Paaaat! Colorful lights emanated from Kalfael¡¯s hand on Elain¡¯s head. Just looking at the beautiful colors made it feel like seeing the Aurora up close. Elaine, who had been struggling just a moment ago, calmed down as if it were a lie, and her eyes seemed to have lost focus. ¡°Is Elaine¡¯s condition okay?¡± When asked by Crassus who was most worried about Elaine among those gathered, Kalphael nodded as if it was okay. ¡°it¡¯s okay. Didn¡¯t Crassus ask me for a favor last time? Please trust me. ¡°It will work out well.¡± Kalfael began to kindly explain things to Dio and the others without anyone asking. ¡°The only way to undo the polluted World Tree¡¯s brainwashing is through strong illusion magic. ¡°My power cannot reach that of the World Tree, but it is quite possible now that the World Tree¡¯s influence has completely disappeared.¡± Through Kalfael¡¯s explanation, Dio was able to realize how great of an influence the polluted world tree was having on the elves. ¡®Just because the World Tree is destroyed doesn¡¯t mean the brainwashing will be lifted immediately.¡¯ In fact, if the brainwashing had been lifted immediately by destroying the World Tree sapling, Elaine would not have been hostile to Crassus just now. No, when the first world tree was destroyed, all the elves¡¯ brainwashing would have been lifted. Anyway, watching Kalfael solve the problem, Dio felt fortunate that the matter was completed well. If Elaine, who has been freed from brainwashing, stands on the same side, it will be reassuring for Dio. Of course, it is not yet known how Elaine will feel once the brainwashing is simply released¡­ ¡°It will take some time. In the meantime, you can rest easy. ¡°You must be very tired.¡± Despite Kalfael¡¯s words to leave Elaine to himself, Crassus stayed next to Elaine, who did not even move, and only Dio called his companions aside. * * * ¡°But why are we left here? ¡°If it¡¯s because of Elaine, isn¡¯t Crassus alone enough?¡± ¡°yes.¡± Dio did not specifically deny Evelyn¡¯s question. Since the Demonic Expedition was a great success, there would be no problem in returning to the Bertio family with the allied forces. But Dio still has work left to do. It¡¯s more important to him than anything else. ¡®The obstructionist will also have disappeared. Now, all the monsters in the Demon World are mine to own.¡¯ Although Descruger is dead, not all the demonic beasts living in the Eastern Demon World are dead. In the first place, the place called Magyeong can be seen as one of the top hunting grounds provided to players. In the Demon World, which is called a cursed place under the influence of the Demon King, demonic beasts constantly respawn. It can be said to be a very suitable hunting ground for Dio, who can now be said to have entered the ranks of high levels. ¡°We will begin cleaning up the demonic landscape from now on.¡± ¡°Aftercare?¡± ¡°Just because Acrich is dead doesn¡¯t mean the Demon Lord is safe. ¡°It¡¯s been so hard to get to the Demonic Land, but the magical beasts piled up in the Demonic Land like this would be a waste¡­ No, wouldn¡¯t it be dangerous?¡± Dio, who brought the group¡¯s attention, slowly began to explain what they had to do. ¡°I want to go back and rest¡­¡± ¡°We must take action for the peace and safety of the continent.¡± Despite Evelyn¡¯s complaints, Dio firmly cut her off. Dio uses the excuse of convincing the party members who do not yet understand the concept of leveling up by using the excuse that it is for the greater good. ¡°Do you think the Great Warrior of the Sun is still hungry?¡± Among the group, only Calliope spoke as if she understood Dio¡¯s intentions. Calliope realized that it was the constant monster hunting that allowed Dio to achieve explosive growth. ¡°Can you help me?¡± ¡°Well, I don¡¯t know if I can help.¡± ¡°All you have to do is protect your colleagues when they are in danger.¡± The reason why Dio chose the dangerous Demon World as the hunting ground for Explosion is because the existence of the Seven Stars is now with him. The magical beasts of the Demonic World have the characteristic of becoming stronger the more they hunt. The demonic beasts that respawn are given the characteristic of the demon king¡¯s ¡®power¡¯ and are transformed into beings that are more powerful and difficult to hunt. So, even though Dio and his companions can hunt the demon beasts without difficulty right now, it can become dangerous later on, which is the dangerous point of the demon beast. ¡®If the seven stars protect you, you can hunt with peace of mind¡­¡¯ The problem is that with the help of the seven stars, you cannot monopolize experience points as it is safe. Of course, experience is not divided just by watching, but the experience gained the moment Calliope intervenes is very small. This is because Calliope¡¯s level is much higher than Dio¡¯s group. furthermore. ¡®There is no guarantee that the Seven Stars will continue to help.¡¯ If you are too greedy, you can act like you are. However, hunting without a calliope is dangerous. That¡¯s why the place called Demon World is so dangerous. Dio first decided to use Calliope¡¯s abilities to seek auxiliary help. ¡°Can you determine the location of nearby demon beasts?¡± ¡°Something like that¡­¡± Calliope readily accepted Dio¡¯s request and attempted to search for the surrounding demonic beasts. That moment. Whiooooo ¨C A fierce wind blew, and Calliope, who was the only one to react, quickly unfolded her shield. Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! As if it wasn¡¯t just the wind, the wind hitting Calliope¡¯s shield made a horrifying hissing sound. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°What is this wind?¡± Are there still powerful demonic beasts around? This is not where the clean-up work begins. Since he had dealt with the monsters around this area with Deathrugger, Dio was clearly aware that this was an unlikely place to respawn for the time being. The party members also all looked embarrassed because they could not confirm that there was a monster nearby. But eventually they could see. The source of this sharp wind is coming from Elaine, whose soul has escaped. ¡°no no!¡± Elaine, who had been distraught just moments ago due to Kalfael¡¯s magic, was trembling with her arms wrapped around herself. The energy radiating around her was so powerful that even Crassus and Kalphael could not easily approach Elain. ¡°Kalfael! What happened!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± The cry of Crassus, who sensed that something was wrong. Even Kalfael, who always had a playful smile on his face, had a serious expression this time. ¡°no!!¡± Quaaaaaaaaaaa! Elaine shouted once again, and the mana wave spreading around began to explode. Sensing danger, Crassus and Kalphael retreated into the shield that Calliope had spread. ¡°What have you done!!¡± Crassus shouted, grabbing Kalphael by the collar. It was Kalfael who said there would be no problem. However, Elain¡¯s current rampage was so incredibly dangerous that not even the seven stars could easily approach it. ¡°¡­She is refusing.¡± When Crassus asked for an explanation, Kalphael muttered quietly. ¡°What does that mean? ¡°You¡¯re rejecting it!¡± At Crassus¡¯ urging, Kalphael looked at Dio instead of Crassus for some reason. ¡°It means that you are rejecting my illusion magic that is trying to remove your brainwashing.¡± ¡°what? ¡°Why on earth?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you subconsciously afraid of the truth? If the runaway continues like this¡­¡± Kalphael continued speaking seriously, as if he hadn¡¯t thought about the situation. ¡°Elain will lose her life.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 161 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 161Episode 161: Kalphael also assumed the danger of mental manipulation looming over the polluted world tree. However, there is one fact that Kalfael overlooked. That was the inner thought inherent in Elaine¡¯s unconscious. ¡°My illusion magic will not harm Elaine¡¯s body at all. ¡°It just shows the truth.¡± Kalphael explained that Elaine¡¯s runaway was not due to a mistake in her magic. ¡°I showed it to Elaine. What Luna did to Taeyang. ¡°What they did to Solari.¡± ¡°Could it be that they rejected it because their belief in the World Tree is so strong?¡± Roberto, who was listening to Kalfael¡¯s words, made his own guess. But Kalfael shook his head. ¡°no. ¡°It¡¯s not because of that.¡± ¡°then?¡± ¡°I guess it¡¯s because of guilt.¡± Dio, who was watching the whole situation, helped out. The day the World Tree first burned down. At that time, Elaine lost everything. Not only the world tree, but also the person you love the most. There is only one reason why Elaine has lived until now. This is to kill Crassus, the main culprit who burned the World Tree and the enemy of the clan. But what if everything that gave Elaine a reason to live was a lie? Luna¡¯s plan in collusion with the darkness. The terrible truth that the polluted world tree deceived all the elves. Dio didn¡¯t think Elaine would accept this easily. Because it¡¯s not something you can just say sorry for misunderstanding. Because it means denying the entire beliefs of your life up until now. ¡°Elain¡­ seems as if she wants to apologize in death. ¡°I had no idea Elaine would make such an extreme choice.¡± Crassus was devastated by Kalfael¡¯s explanation and stared blankly at Elaine, who was running wild. But I couldn¡¯t just sit still like this. ¡°Elain is not that weak. ¡°I can do it somehow¡­¡± Crassus gritted his teeth and tried to approach Elaine. However, Kalphael urgently stopped Crassus. ¡°Let¡¯s stop. ¡°The closer Crassus approaches, the worse the situation will become.¡± ¡°Do not be ridiculous! ¡°I¡¯m the only one who understands Elaine!¡± ¡°no. ¡°You are not the one who will understand her.¡± ¡°what?¡± Crassus glared at Kalphael¡¯s assertiveness. ¡°Mr Crassus. Haven¡¯t you been avoiding Elain for hundreds of years? ¡°We haven¡¯t even talked properly in a while.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Crassus could not reply to Kalfael¡¯s words. I never for a moment thought of Elaine as anything other than a precious family member. But does Elaine really think that way? S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The days of happy days are now a thing of the past. In fact, the relationship between Crassus and Elaine can be seen as strangers. No, for nearly a thousand years, Elaine had thought of Crassus as her enemy. That¡¯s why Crassus couldn¡¯t get close to her and could only watch from afar. In this situation, Crassus could not deny Kalphael¡¯s words. ¡°Among the people here right now, the only one who can understand Elaine is¡­¡± Kalphael, leaving the distraught Crassus alone, looked at Dio. ¡°¡­Why are you looking at me?¡± Dio expressed doubt at Kalfael¡¯s gaze. Although I knew a lot of information about Elaine, I didn¡¯t think I could understand her. In addition, didn¡¯t Dio, like Elaine, find out too late that the World Tree was Luna¡¯s puppet? Dio thought of Elaine, who had always raised her eyebrows at him during this expedition. So I couldn¡¯t understand Kalphael¡¯s actions even more. ¡®I don¡¯t understand¡­How can I understand Elaine?¡¯ Even if he understood, Dio couldn¡¯t even guess what he should do. Are you asking me to go and offer some words of comfort? I feel like I want to kill him here and absorb his experience points. ¡°Elain¡¯s current runaway is not a phenomenon that occurs arbitrarily. ¡°The power of the polluted World Tree still remains in Elaine¡¯s mind.¡± ¡°¡­?¡± Kalfael began to explain Elain¡¯s current state to Dio, who did not understand anything. ¡°The polluted world tree is deceiving Elaine because the truth I told you is a lie.¡± ¡°You weren¡¯t confident you could break the brainwashing!¡± ¡°Elain won¡¯t let go of the false world tree. It¡¯s impossible with my abilities. ¡°Even if it were possible, she would just be a doll with no sense of self.¡± ¡°this¡­!¡± Kalphael continued to explain Crassus¡¯s journey. But why? Kalfael¡¯s face, which had initially looked embarrassed, appeared playful again. Like the facial expression a child makes when discovering something interesting. Kalfael looked at Dio with eyes full of expectation. ¡®This bastard¡­ really?¡¯ It suddenly occurred to Dio that Kalphael might have intentionally created this situation. But I don¡¯t have time to think deeply about this. Kugwagwagwagwa! The energy emanating from Elaine¡¯s body was no longer like an invisible wind. As dark blue light, which looked like polluted mana, began to rush around Elaine, who rejected the truth, cracks appeared in the ground. Blah blah blah- ¡°Elain!¡± Crassus tried to approach Elaine because she was caught in the collapsing earth, but his strong energy prevented him from taking a single step. ¡°Is this dangerous?¡± Calliope, who was unfolding her shield, also shed cold sweat and raised both arms. Elaine¡¯s rampage is difficult for even her to stop. ¡°Elain¡¯s heart is protecting the polluted World Tree. ¡°If we don¡¯t address this, her spirit will be destroyed in an instant.¡± Kalfael continued speaking to Dio while injecting mana into Calliope¡¯s shield, which blocks Elaine¡¯s energy. ¡°You can do it, can¡¯t you? ¡°If you have received the sun¡¯s protection, you can lift the ¡®curse¡¯ of the polluted World Tree.¡± Kalphael looks at Dio with a grin. Dio realized what Kalphael was talking about. What Kalfael said earlier was not that Dio was the only person who could understand Elaine. A person who can make Elaine escape from the polluted World Tree. Kalfael said that the only person who could solve this situation was someone who had the blessing of Solari. Understanding this, Dio¡¯s thoughts began to move quickly. Benefits you can gain if you accept Kalphael¡¯s request. That¡¯s not all. Elaine¡¯s life¡­the fact that he was the only one who could save her touched Dio¡¯s heart. ¡®Kalfael. Looks like you know quite a lot¡­good. ¡®I¡¯ll do it for you.¡¯ Dio took a step towards Elaine, who was caught up in the fluctuating dark blue mana. There was someone holding Dio¡¯s hand. ¡°D.I.O.¡± Sepia called out Dio¡¯s name with concern. Dio smiled as if it was okay and reassured her. ¡°are you okay. It will be fine¡­just like it was then.¡± It was like speaking to myself. After making his decision, Dio slowly began to step outside Calliope¡¯s shield. It felt like his skin was going to fall off from the fluctuating mana, but Dio didn¡¯t care. As Kalphael intended, he was the only one who could solve Elaine¡¯s problem now. It¡¯s Elaine¡¯s runaway that the three seven stars can¡¯t do anything about. This is because the ¡®World Tree¡¯ existed at the center of Elaine¡¯s runaway. Although it is contaminated and its main body was destroyed by Crassus, the world tree¡¯s mana is still contained in Elaine¡¯s body. Although Dio has not experienced mana during the World Tree¡¯s heyday, he has heard of how strong its power is. Even beings called dragons, who are called masters of magic, can¡¯t do anything about the elves under the protection of the World Tree. Looking at this, the World Tree can at least be seen as an entity that possesses more mana than a dragon. In a way, it is natural that Calliope or Kalphael cannot solve this problem. However, even though Dio is of a lower level than them, he has the power to solve this problem. It was Dio who had already broken the unbreakable curse. It¡¯s still the same now as it was then. Dio had a way to break the unbreakable curse. [Oath of Liberation Lv2 was used.] [The target was designated as ] * * * Little Elaine was sobbing alone in the dark. The World Tree burned down, and my beloved brother betrayed his people. Now there was nothing left for Elaine. [Take revenge.] A voice whispers to Elaine, who remains alone. Elaine thought that this voice was what the World Tree was saying. Even though I know that the World Tree is a being that will not say scary words like revenge. Elaine¡¯s hatred from the word revenge is what allowed her to live. Because the World Tree is a being that speaks only for me. But¡­. The World Tree told her to harbor hatred towards Crassus, but Elaine didn¡¯t want to do that. Even though Crassus betrayed everyone, she did not want to harbor hatred towards him as her older brother. [Take revenge.] The more Elaine did, the stronger the voice of the World Tree rang in her head. In order to shake off this crazy sound, Elaine had to harbor hatred. The moment she harbored hatred, young Elaine¡¯s mind became crystal clear. It was then. ¡°Elaine.¡± Someone clearly called Elaine¡¯s name in the empty, lonely place. At this, Elaine¡¯s spirit returned in an instant. Even though the hatred was not resolved. Elaine looked up at the being who appeared in front of her and called her name. She wondered if he was her older brother, but unfortunately, he was not the person Elaine loved so much. Above all, the person who appeared before my eyes was not an elf, but a human. A human with ominous black hair. ¡°Isn¡¯t the target of revenge wrong?¡± What is this black-haired human talking about? ¡°There is no need to listen to the polluted World Tree. Crassus did not abandon you. ¡°I didn¡¯t betray the elves.¡± Elaine¡¯s eyes opened wide at the human¡¯s words. Are the author¡¯s words true? So does that mean there is no need to harbor hatred towards your brother? [Lie.] The World Tree whispered. The World Tree¡¯s words were filled with sweetness, as if tempting a child with candy. It was no longer little Elaine who was sobbing. She thought about the days gone by. Hatred and distrust were her life. This all had to be true. If everything you believed to be true was a lie¡­! [Because I have no reason to live.] Elaine, who had completely assimilated into the polluted world tree, opened her mouth to humans. As the World Tree wished, Elaine was confident that she would not change her mind no matter what the other person said. Who can understand themselves? However, it was not the same amount of comfort coming from the black-haired human¡¯s mouth. ¡°Who wants revenge?¡± [What?] Elaine wasn¡¯t the only one taken aback by the human¡¯s words. Even the World Tree was taken aback by what a human said. ¡°Elaine. ¡°If you accept the truth, you won¡¯t have to harbor hatred towards Crassus.¡± The black-haired human¡­ As Dio approached, Elaine hesitated. It was because the words penetrated his heart. Hatred towards Crassus. Among these, ¡®hatred¡¯ is not that important to her. All that matters is that the target of the hatred is the person most dear to Elaine. ¡°The hatred you should harbor is not Crassus. Lunaji polluted the world tree.¡± Dio¡¯s words were not like those of a saint telling him not to seek revenge. Revenge is the driving force of life. However, the exact path was provided to reveal the target to the person who had deceived Elaine. [Bullshit!] Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! At Dio¡¯s words, a burning world tree appeared behind Elaine. The cry of the hotly burning World Tree. [It¡¯s all a lie!] ¡°Are you afraid to know the truth? Then take my hand.¡± Dio, ignoring the burning World Tree, offered his hand to Elaine. ¡°In return for servitude¡­the revenge I so desire.¡± Elaine looked. The truth seen beyond Dio. ¡°I will make it happen.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 162 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 162Episode 162: It¡¯s been a month since the subjugation of the Demon Lord was carried out, focusing on the eastern part. A lot has happened in this one month. One of those big things happened about fifteen days ago now. It was news that most of the Union¡¯s troops had returned to the front lines outside the Magyeong area. The Allied Forces, who had passed the beginning of Makyeong and reached the middle, returned some soldiers in consideration of regional characteristics. This was a decision made by the superiors who commanded the Allied Forces, and the Allied Forces that returned earlier returned first, taking the Ma Kyung¡¯s loot with them. At that point, people¡¯s reactions varied. A person who criticizes the returning Allied Forces even though Acrich is still alive. On the other hand, people who believe that it is the judgment of the higher-ups who command the Allied Forces, so let¡¯s just wait and see. In any case, the situation in the east watching the Allied forces¡¯ movements could only be described as disturbing. Now, 15 days have passed. A group of people appeared inside Bertio¡¯s territory. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°They¡¯re knights, right?¡± People passing by immediately realized that these were the 500 or so allied forces remaining in Magyeong. ¡°Report to the lord.¡± ¡°Call the priests!¡± The condition of the Allied forces sent through Calliope¡¯s magic did not look that good to people. More than half of them were casualties. Moreover, for some reason, the half of the survivors were in a trance-like state, as if they had just woken up from sleep. People were filled with anxiety, wondering if the expedition had failed, but it only lasted for a moment. Prince Prian, who came to his senses after receiving treatment from the priests, announced to everyone that he had successfully defeated Acrich. This time, people were excited about clear good news, not ambiguous news. Since the purpose of forming the Allied Forces has been achieved, there is no better news than this. * * * The lordship of Bertio. Inside the office where the head of the Bertio family was staying, a knight who appeared to be of high rank knocked on the door. ¡°I will report to you. As of now, we have finished taking care of the casualties of the Allied Forces in the Eastern Magyeong Expedition. ¡°The bodies of all the dead were moved to a nearby church, and the injured were also moved to a resting place provided with the help of each guild and lord.¡± ¡°okay. Good work.¡± The Bertio family took the lead in settling the returning Allied forces under the leadership of Dalimus. Thanks to this, other nobles and large guilds in the East were also willing to help, allowing for a quick settlement. ¡®Mother said there was still work left to do.¡¯ Before the Allied forces departed. Bertio¡¯s ¡®mother¡¯ Calliope came to Dalimus and left important words. -Once this expedition is over, there will be great chaos. We might start an all-out war with the Luna Church. Dio and I can stay in the Demon World to finish the job. Dalimus also heard from Calliope that the Luna Church was polluting the world tree of the elves and deceiving everyone. Accordingly, Dalimus knew that the time had come to keep the promise handed down from Bertio¡¯s ancestors. This is Calliope¡¯s promise to repay the favor to the ¡®Sun¡¯. ¡®Through this incident, the world learned of the existence of a god called Solari. I¡¯ll have to pay closer attention to the Luna Church¡¯s movements.¡¯ The Allied Forces that returned from the Demon World all blessed the sun god Solari. Even though the Luna Church supported the Allied Forces. This is the Luna Church, which sent three people and five swords to the Demon Lord¡¯s expedition. However, the name of the Luna Church was rarely mentioned in people¡¯s mouths. The reason why all the Allied Forces were active in the Demon World was because they thought they were believers of Solari. Among them, Sepia, the only priest, was even revered as a saint. ¡®Now what I have to do is¡­¡¯ Dalimus turned his head to the middle-aged man who was with him in his office. Swordmaster Gunther. Dalimus¡¯ long-time friend and the one called the Emperor¡¯s Sword. ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Hearing Dalimus¡¯ words, Gunther fiddled with the teacup in front of him. He also had quite complicated feelings about this incident. ¡°I think people won¡¯t just rely on the Luna Church anymore.¡± ¡°okay. Your choice was right. ¡°I guarantee that.¡± Dalimus supported Gunther¡¯s actions in capturing the Luna Church¡¯s informant. As soon as the news of the Eastern Allied Forces came, Dalimus called Gunther and told him the truth. The truth about Solari and Luna that I heard from the ancestors and Calliope. Of course, the fact that Calliope is Bertio¡¯s ¡®mother¡¯ was excluded, but it was enough to persuade Gunther. As the basis for why Bertio rejected the Luna Church. ¡°I plan to report your story and these events to the emperor¡­no problem, right?¡± The Emperor may have already heard the news from Prince Prion, but Prion does not know about the corruption of Calliope and the Luna Church. That is why Dalimus had a separate conversation with Gunther. ¡°okay. ¡°I hope the emperor will lend us his strength.¡± Dalimus nodded, as if waiting for Gunther¡¯s words to report to the emperor. The only region in which Solari¡¯s status was higher than Luna¡¯s was the eastern region due to the expedition. In the first place, the East refused help from the Luna Church for a long time. However, in other regions except the eastern part, the Luna Church still had great power. This was something that Dalimus was aware of, so he personally called Gunther and talked to him so that he could receive help from the emperor. If the Empire stands on the side of Solari, they will be able to face off against the massive Luna Church. ¡°Then please do me a favor.¡± Dalimus spoke again to Gunther, who was leaving the room, and Gunther lightly motioned to Dalimus, telling him not to worry. In this way, the aftermath of the expedition was slowly beginning to change from the situation between continents. * * * The banquet hall of the mansion, which was originally Lennon¡¯s villa. However, after Lennon¡¯s downfall, the mansion was no longer owned by Lennon. An event was held here to celebrate the successful completion of the subjugation of the Demon Lord. Not only nobles from the East, but also numerous nobles from all over. They sincerely congratulated the Allied forces on their victory. No, it might not have been sincere. The Bertio family is slowly advancing to the center despite going through one ups and downs called Lennon. There were many nobles who wanted to attract the attention of this huge and prestigious family. People who participated in the Allied Forces were also present in the banquet hall. Among them, there was one who could be called the protagonist, and he was none other than Ates, the second son of the Bertio family. ¡°Acrich already knew of the existence of our Allied Forces. ¡°From the beginning of the Demon World, his numerous legions of demonic beasts were greeting us.¡± Ates, surrounded by numerous nobles, began to describe the situation the Allied forces experienced at the time. ¡°But we also knew this. ¡°We strengthened the main unit¡¯s defense and the Holy Maiden of Solari came forward.¡± ¡°Oooh!¡± ¡°The saint took the lead in confronting the demonic beast army?¡± The nobles were impressed by Ates¡¯ words. This was because it was extremely unfamiliar to them to see a noble person, such as a saint, go directly to battle. ¡°The saint created a small sun. That brilliant light illuminated the terrible demonic landscape in an instant, and even the demonic beasts were busy retreating in fear.¡± Ates did not simply tell the story of the Allied Forces¡¯ experiences. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The situation at that time was described through gestures or an appropriate story was told to suit the performance decorating the banquet. Perhaps that was why most of the nobles in the hall fell in love with the story of Ates. ¡°The sun swallowed the enemies and at that moment!¡± Ates interrupted at just the right moment, and the nobles each swallowed their saliva. While the people were fretting, Ates took some time to talk. ¡°The great warrior of the sun has drawn his sword.¡± Artes did not talk about his performance. The historical moment of this eastern expedition seemed to signal the narrative of only Solari and her followers. Great warrior of the sun and saint. And even the story of a vampire and a witch who follows the sun. People were fascinated by Ates¡¯ story, and when his story ended, they all chanted. ¡°Solari!¡± ¡°Solari!¡± Their cries are almost fanatical. However, those who heard Ates¡¯ story truly praised the warrior of Solari who fought against darkness. There are strangely many monsters rampaging across the past continent, and many people are in trouble. People sensed that the Demon King¡¯s resurrection was approaching and they all trembled in fear. However, people had no choice but to praise the sun when they realized that a new god had appeared to solve this problem. They believe that Solari is the only god who can stop the coming darkness. * * * ¡°Great Warrior of the Sun¡­ I think it¡¯s quite an excessive title, but I guess that¡¯s not it either.¡± Delcid, the son of Sword Master Gunther, left the banquet hall muttering to himself. Delcid, like his father, was not very interested in social circles. Delcid was invited to social gatherings every year, but he always refused, citing training as an excuse. But this time, Delcid himself attended the banquet. He was also curious about the story of this expedition. ¡®Isn¡¯t that everything I showed you back then?¡¯ Delcid knew that the ¡®Great Warrior of the Sun¡¯, who can be seen as the main character in Ates¡¯ story, refers to Dio. That made it even more surprising. Although Dio¡¯s strength at the time of his duel with Lennon was incredible, he was not thought to be strong enough to defeat Acrich. ¡®I guess I haven¡¯t become as strong as my father.¡¯ The first thing Delcid felt when he saw Dio, who was a similar age to him, was just a slight desire to win. A genius like himself who is talented in swordsmanship. I thought that was it. Delcid has crossed swords with many noble children who consider themselves geniuses. And as always, Delcid was only disappointed. However, Delcid had a different opinion due to the unconventional actions of a character named Dio. ¡®It¡¯s not at a level I can surpass.¡¯ Delcid wanted to know. Perhaps it was his belief in Solari that made Dio so strong? Or maybe it¡¯s just because Dio is a genius beyond imagination. Quadang! Delcid, who was wandering the street lost in thought, realized that someone had bumped into him and made him fall. ¡°Aaaah!¡± ¡°Is this okay?¡± Delcid helped the fallen child up and comforted him. The child cried even more bitterly because the object he was holding was broken rather than because of the injury caused by the fall. ¡®This?¡¯ A small wooden sculpture that seems to symbolize the sun. It seemed to be a statue of the sun created to celebrate the success of the Allied Forces. Through this, Delcid was able to find out that the news about the subjugation of the Demon Lord had already spread deeply throughout the country. Now people know that the sun is protecting them. As Delcid looked at the statue, a question suddenly came to mind. ¡®Something is strange¡­¡¯ In some ways, the symbolism of the sun is much greater than that of the moon. Doesn¡¯t everyone welcome the sun in the morning? But why did there not exist any belief in the sun until now? Why do people expect more from the moon than from the sun? ¡®No way¡­¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 163 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 163Episode 163: The capital of Freud¡¯s empire located at the center of the continent. And at the center of the capital was ¡®Avalon Palace,¡¯ where Emperor Freud resided. The emperor¡¯s throne room, the most luxurious and largest of the Avalon palaces. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Emperor Freud, who was listening to Gunther¡¯s story, looked back on the current situation with a solemn expression. ¡°If the story that everyone was brainwashed under the power of the Luna Church is true¡­ I can roughly guess what has happened.¡± ¡°The movements of the elves and news from the south also seem to be related to this incident.¡± As if agreeing with the emperor¡¯s words, Gunther began to mention the events that had occurred since the expedition departed for Makyeong. ¡°Did you find out more?¡± ¡°yes. It was discovered that the Luna Church was secretly collaborating with the elves. ¡°They were guarding something, but it appears they were recently attacked.¡± ¡°Ever since the World Tree was destroyed, the elves will no longer trust humans¡­¡± The emperor¡¯s eyes shone sharply. The story of the elf world tree being destroyed was a widely spread story. It is said that in the distant past when the World Tree existed, elves and humans lived in harmony on the continent. However, after the World Tree burned down, the elves cut off all races and did not come out of the forest. It was not easy to understand that such elves would cooperate with the human Luna Church. Unless it¡¯s something related to the World Tree¡­ ¡°It¡¯s possible that even the seeds of the World Tree remain.¡± Gunther nodded as if he agreed with the emperor¡¯s reasoning, which was close to the truth. For elves, there is nothing more important than the World Tree. ¡°They said the Luna Church had dispatched troops to the south.¡± ¡°Yes, according to additional reports, it is understood that a small number of elites were sent directly from the Holy Kingdom of Atra.¡± ¡°Was there a battle?¡± ¡°yes. It is said that the saint was accompanied by five swords. And¡­¡± For some reason, Gunther trailed off. The reason was that the information reported through the informant was quite difficult to believe. ¡°I saw a huge rock giant that looked like something out of a fairy tale.¡± ¡°giant?¡± A giant that only exists in legends. Neither Gunther nor the emperor had ever seen a giant. So the fact that a giant was hiding in a deep southern valley was hard to believe unless you saw it in person. ¡°So the Luna Church fought the giants?¡± ¡°Yes, the results cannot be confirmed, but considering that the Luna Church¡¯s troops returned to Atra, it is presumed that they defeated the giant.¡± ¡°Then the giant might be on Solari¡¯s side.¡± ¡°It seems that the Luna Church is also aware of the existence of Solari. ¡°We are tracking their presence and dealing with them quickly.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± The Luna Church¡¯s actions to not just sit there and suffer. At this, the emperor let out a shallow groan. It started from the moment the Allied Forces began the subjugation of Demonic Province. The war of nerves between Solari and Luna can be seen all over the continent. The emperor had a feeling that soon the two powers of a major religion and a new religion would clash in an all-out war. ¡°On the surface, the empire is maintaining neutrality¡­but it seems like Prince Prian¡¯s name is being mentioned a lot because of this Allied Forces incident.¡± The expedition, including Prince Prian, who thought they had entered deep into the Demonic Realm, defeated Acrich and appeared in the eastern region. And there was a common opinion among the group. It is said that the reason this expedition was able to be completed successfully was thanks to Prince Prian, who commanded the Allied Forces, and Dio, the Great Warrior of the Sun. ¡°It looks like Freean did a great job. ¡°It looks like your training has paid off, right?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t Prince Prian have outstanding military abilities from the beginning? ¡°I guess it¡¯s because I inherited Freud¡¯s lineage.¡± The emperor smiled happily at Gunther¡¯s words. In fact, the emperor did not have much expectations from Prince Prion this time. This is not to disparage Freeon¡¯s abilities, but it was because the expedition area was an extremely dangerous and dangerous area. He should be praised simply for coming back alive, but he even made a great contribution to suppressing the Demon Lord. ¡°Thanks to Prian, the empire¡¯s face has been saved.¡± Currently, due to the success of the Demonic Expedition on the continent, people¡¯s faith and faith in the new Solari have spread. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Clearly, it was the emerging religious power that benefited the most from the expedition. However, this does not mean that the empire did not benefit at all. People praised Prince Prion¡¯s bravery and excellent leadership to a degree that rivaled Solari¡¯s. Even those who had a negative view of faith praised Freean. ¡°Judging from the testimony of the mercenaries, it is said that Prince Prian had great trust in Dio. That¡¯s why I think he led the Allied forces without friction.¡± ¡°The way you look at people resembles mine.¡± Because of this incident, the emperor¡¯s perspective on Prian completely changed. It did not matter much whether Prion really led the Allies to victory using great tactics as rumored. However, at least his insight into talented people was something that the emperor wanted to praise in person. Since ancient times, the qualifications of an emperor are not something that can be achieved simply by being good at fighting. ¡°Prion instinctively realized it. Among all those people, I appreciate the value of a man named Dio.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Who will be the next emperor¡­ I¡¯m quite biased.¡± The emperor muttered, and Gunther, without speaking, agreed with the emperor¡¯s words. This is because Gunther had also felt for a long time that there was something unusual about the man named Dio. ¡°Anyway, we¡¯ll have to make a decision. ¡°The Luna Church has not collapsed yet, but it is definitely on the path to decline.¡± The emperor raised his head and his eyes lit up. In other regions except the East, the power of the Luna Church was still strong. But the emperor assured that the tooth would not last long. Starting with what happened in a small town on the eastern frontier. This is because people were very disappointed in the Luna Church due to the events of the Allied Forces. Even though they sent their greatest strength of five swords, the Allied forces only mentioned the exploits of Solari and Prian. Through this, people criticized the Luna Church for its incompetence, and this phenomenon was spreading throughout the country. ¡°The saintess¡¯s nose will drop. ¡°We cannot afford to miss this moment.¡± Although the position of emperor of an empire was great, he could not be considered absolute. As the influence of the Luna Church spread throughout the continent, there were limits to the power that the imperial family could exert. The emperor saw this as an opportunity to lower the power of the Luna Church, which was unnecessarily large. And the key person who solved it. ¡°You said that Dio hasn¡¯t returned from the Demon World yet, right?¡± ¡°The whereabouts of the people who always accompany Ye Dio are also unclear.¡± Gunther also relayed information to the Emperor not only about Dio, but also about Robert the Sepia Witch Evelyn Vampire, who is called the Holy Maiden of Solari. ¡°They must be the core figures of Solari.¡± ¡°The last traces found were where the decisive battle with Acrich took place.¡± As soon as Gunther heard that the subjugation of Magyeong had been successfully completed, he dispatched a search party to Magyeong to confirm the facts. The remaining demonic beasts in the demon world did not completely disappear. However, this was possible because the demonic energy in the demonic realm where Acrich was gone was in a state where the demonic energy had weakened enough for the empire¡¯s elite knights to explore. So the Empire¡¯s intelligence unit was able to find traces such as a teleportation magic circle or footprints that Dio and his group seemed to have used. In addition, the intelligence unit was able to obtain not only traces of Dio and his group, but also other information. ¡°I heard new information there.¡± ¡°What is that?¡± The emperor, who sensed something unusual about Gunther¡¯s words, hurriedly urged him to speak. ¡°It looks like we weren¡¯t the only ones who sent a search party to the Magyeong.¡± ¡°no way?¡± ¡°Yes, it seems that the Holy Kingdom Atra has dispatched ¡®Paul¡¯ ahead of us.¡± ¡°pole? By Paul, do you mean Paul Eppenhaus?¡± ¡°yes. ¡°The archbishop of Atra.¡± Paul¡¯s reputation is so widely known on the continent that even the emperor knows his name. He was none other than the last heretic inquisitor, called the ¡®last sword¡¯ of Saint Kaleyna. ¡°I thought it was just a rumor, but according to the information I received just now, I was able to confirm that there was someone with a similar impression to him. ¡°In the middle area of the Demonic Land.¡± ¡°I guess they have the same goal as us.¡± Hearing Gunther¡¯s words, the emperor placed a hand on his throbbing head and muttered. What the emperor wants most now is Dio¡¯s whereabouts. And the emperor realized that this was also what the Luna Church wanted. ¡°The Luna Church probably finds Dio an eyesore. But Dio is someone who will be the core of our empire.¡± ¡°What should I do?¡± Although the emperor¡¯s decision was already predictable, he asked how the empire should move in the future to confirm his decision. ¡°You too, follow Paul into the demonic realm. ¡°If we get help from the Imperial Magic Corps, we will be able to quickly reach the deepest magical realm.¡± ¡°All right.¡± After accepting the emperor¡¯s order, Gunther bowed his head deeply and stepped out of the throne room. Until now, the battle of nerves between Solari and Luna had occurred everywhere, but from now on, it was no longer just about them. The great neutral force called the Empire also decided to participate in the chaos that would become even more violent in the future. * * * Holy kingdom Atra. Saint Kaleina, who was sitting alone on her throne, was meditating in a noble manner as always. But why? Teeth marks are visible on her fine fingernails. Kaleina didn¡¯t show it on the outside, but she was very nervous. It was a sight that was extremely contrary to Kaleyna¡¯s behavior, which must always maintain dignity. ¡®Paul¡­not yet?¡¯ Kaleina was anxiously awaiting news from Paul, who had been dispatched to the Demon Lord. But all she hears is the news that the empire is also on the move. The Empire was the only force on the continent with power comparable to the Luna Church. ¡®The Empire has not declared that it will trust the Solari. It¡¯s not too late.¡¯ What Kaleina was worried about was the situation where the Empire was tricked by Dio and their forces were merged. If that happens, the actions of openly trying to kill Dio so far will become even more difficult. This means that in order to eliminate Dio, who is under the protection of the Empire, an all-out war with the Empire must be launched. ¡®You must find it first. Still, we are one step ahead of the empire.¡¯ Although it was a great empire, it was the Luna Church that had greater influence on the continent than the empire. The Luna Church¡¯s informant has always been one step ahead of the Empire, and now the Luna Church has moved first as well. A harsh sound was heard from Kaleyna¡¯s fingers on the throne. ¡®Should I have sent Scarlett with me? Or maybe I will do it myself¡­¡¯ Kaleina, who had been worrying about everything, came to her senses again and relaxed her body. You shouldn¡¯t be impatient. Even if the entire Luna Church is shaken, only one person must endure. Because that is the responsibility of a saint. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 164 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 164Chapter 164: Deep in the Demonic Land, in the outskirts, there was a high cliff that signaled the end of the terrain. On top of that steep cliff were horrific corpses, presumed to be those of demonic beasts. Push! The head of the wolf hellhound, which can be considered a higher species of hellhound, exploded in an instant. ¡°Phew ¨C I guess this area was also roughly taken care of.¡± Dio climbed onto the cliff and looked around, leaving the extremely dangerous cliff behind him. Just like Dio who dealt with the Wolf Hellhound, his companions were quickly and quickly hunting down the demonic beasts. A month and a week have passed since I worked hard to level up in the Demon World. In the meantime, Dio continued his hunt by wandering around the magic region that the Allied Forces had not been able to reach. This is not the beginning or middle area, but the end area of the demonic area designated as the place of Deathrugger¡¯s activities. ¡°Roberto! ¡°Go that way!¡± Evelyn shouted, swinging the scythe of judgment. The shadow protruding from her weapon drove the wolf hellhounds, and Roberto, who had been waiting for them, jumped into the middle of the group. Pow! Roberto¡¯s fist hit the ground hard, and at that moment, the pack of wolf hellhounds lost their balance and stumbled. In Roberto¡¯s subsequent attack, the Wolf Hellhounds literally began to be slaughtered. Squeak ¨C Roberto¡¯s knees and elbows crossed, shattering the wolf hellhound¡¯s spine. Not stopping there, Roberto quickly struck the next target¡¯s teeth. -Krrr. -Kagang! Wolf Hellhound¡¯s teeth falling from the rainwater. As the level increased, Roberto¡¯s movements became simpler and more powerful. ¡®It looks like I¡¯ve mastered almost all of Galletto¡¯s movements. not bad.¡¯ Even in chaotic situations, enemies are destroyed with only efficient strikes. This was one of the few strengths of Galetto, who was said to be a fighting fanatic. Pabababak! Shadow blades pierce the body of the wolf hellhound running away from Roberto. Dio was very satisfied as he saw his colleagues getting better together day by day. ¡°Huh huh huh huh let¡¯s get some rest now. ¡°I don¡¯t have any more mana to use.¡± Evelyn walked slowly, using the scythe of judgment as a staff, and complained to Dio. That¡¯s because, under Dio¡¯s instructions, they worked all day long at a level of difficulty that would put ordinary gamers on edge. Their routine was like this. Explore Hunt Rest. Rest is not even proper rest. A brief rest that could literally be called a nap. The reason was that they had to move according to the speed of the demonic beasts respawning in the demonic realm. This kind of repetitive work was familiar to Dio, who was a fixture on the order board, but not to his companions. Still, the first group quickly followed along. Because the demonic beasts still remaining in the Demon Realm were not that strong. However, the party quickly became tired from the continuous battles with the demonic beasts that became stronger as they respawn. Nevertheless, Dio did not stop. He pushed his companions by adjusting the potion poisoning effect right before it activated. Thanks to this, the party members expressed their dissatisfaction with Dio, but they had now become somewhat accustomed to it. It was also thanks to their level rising significantly. [Roberto / Noble / Lv401] [Eveline / Savvas / Lv409] ¡®Roberto must be at Galleto¡¯s level now.¡¯ Dio opened the system window and checked the status of his companions. After more than a month of hunting in the demonic realm, all of the party members have now entered the ranks of transcendents. It means that you are over level 400. Accordingly, Roberto and Eveline changed jobs to ¡®Noble¡¯ and ¡®Sabbath¡¯, who can be crowned Vampire Lord and Queen of Witches, respectively. ¡®Iveline is higher than Roberto.¡¯ Dio took some time to look at Evelyn lying on the floor. The reason her mana was almost exhausted was not because of Wolf Hellhound. I had a fierce battle with a group of ¡®Cockatrices¡¯ a while ago, and I only helped Roberto with my remaining mana. Cockatrice, called sick chicken or sick chicken by players, was the worst monster in the world of magic with the appearance of a giant chicken. Among the characteristics that cockatrices possess is something called ¡®petrification pollution¡¯. A debuff is applied to the body fluids of a cockatrice that has petrification contamination applied, causing it to fall into a petrified state as soon as it touches it. This is a very tricky characteristic. This is because it is very difficult to avoid the bodily fluids that a cockatrice emits the moment you injure it. However, this could be countered with Evelyn¡¯s Shadow Armor. Petrification cannot be applied to Shadow Armor, which is a shadow. Even so, Cockatrice is the highest level monster in the Demon World. Moreover, they appear in groups of dozens, not just one. ¡®It looks like my skill proficiency has increased a lot.¡¯ In order to defeat the powerful Cockatrice, Evelyn actively used the conscious Shadow Armor. As a result, her skill proficiency became much higher than before. Artificial intelligence that follows me¡­ As AI Shadow Armor can be summoned two at a time, the hunting speed has become correspondingly faster. As a result, the level also increased significantly. ¡®Because her level is high, she can assist others, and Evelyn¡¯s uses are much wider.¡¯ Dio looked down at the shadow armor overlaid on his equipment. This meant that Evelyn¡¯s maximum mana was high enough to maintain the shadow armor of her companions even when her mana was almost exhausted. Flash! As Dio was watching Evelyn and Roberto grow with satisfaction, a dazzling pillar of light rose up from behind him. The source of the light was from the bottom of that deep cliff. Grumble! The bottom of the cliff burst into flames, and someone jumped out of it. A woman who defies gravity and climbs even in the depths. It was sepia. ¡°Everything down there is finished.¡± ¡°okay. great job.¡± When the priest class exceeds level 400, it can have floating skills like the wizard class. This skill, also known as ¡®Valkyrie¡¯s Wings¡¯, can be seen as a clergy-only survival skill that allows you to quickly escape from the dangerous front lines. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª : Sepia : 415 : Saint of the Sun Strength: 318 Dexterity: 370 Intelligence: 518 Stamina: 344 Mana: 535 HP: 3532 MP: 4105 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Unlike the other party members, Sepia¡¯s abilities, who were subordinated to the oath by oath, are higher than could be observed in detail. Because the sun¡¯s power is strong against darkness, Sepia was the most active in this demon hunt. Sepia¡¯s divine power was extremely fatal to enemies. ¡°Was there anything dangerous down there? ¡°There must have been giant centipede larvae as well.¡± ¡°I burned it all.¡± ¡°Okay¡­good job.¡± Dio felt a sense of awe as he watched Sepia speak as if it was no big deal. Even though she had clearly defeated many more demonic beasts than Evelyn and Roberto, the power of the sun that she radiated did not weaken at all. ¡®Even if it looks like that, the mana is probably quite exhausted.¡¯ Dio looked under the cliff that Sepia had created into a sea of fire. In the pit of hell illuminated by light, countless demonic beasts could be seen burning and dying painfully. They are not beings that can be easily defeated with ordinary divine power. This is the habitat of the centipede knight¡¯s pet, the giant centipede. This is an area where not only giant centipedes but also all kinds of insect monsters respawn. There were many reasons why Deathrugger did not bring larva-type monsters from the Demonic Beast Army. There is a reason why their intelligence is so low that proper control is impossible, and because they are beasts that show their teeth at each other when they join the army. In particular, the giant water strider called ¡®Creeper¡¯ explodes itself, damaging everything around it. It¡¯s difficult to deal with, and what¡¯s more, its appearance is terrible, so players don¡¯t come here often. ¡®Is Sephia squeamish?¡¯ In the order board, the monsters with the ¡®bug¡¯ motif generally had a terrible appearance that players found repulsive. Think about it. It looked like a cockroach bigger than ten strong adult men put together. ¡®Wow, I¡¯m throwing up.¡¯ Anyway, Dio thought about Sepia¡¯s new magic that dealt with these terrible demonic beasts. Sepia, who obtained the class called Saint of the Sun, inherited the memories of a saint from a thousand years ago and was able to use many skills that Dio did not know. Until now, there were skills that could not be used at all due to low level. There were some skills that did not have very good effects even when used due to their weak sacred power. However, now Sepia can use the skills of most saints. This is because not only do you meet the conditions to use it by raising its level, but you have also built up your skill understanding through many battles in the Demon World. ¡®Like the range-type barrier skill and buff skill Evelyn, the effects of auxiliary skills are beyond imagination.¡¯ With the effect of the sanctuary declaration applied, Dio spread out his palms. A golden aura was flickering outside of Evelyn¡¯s shadow armor. In this way, it was noticeable that Sephia¡¯s buff skills had become noticeably stronger. In addition to the auxiliary skills, Sepia¡¯s attack ability has also been greatly strengthened. A skill that instantly turns enemies to ashes with enormous solar power. A skill that compresses light and heat into one point, eliciting a powerful reaction and creating ultra-high heat. Dio reminded me of a saint from a thousand years ago whom I had never seen before on the Order Board, but who I once saw in a dream. The woman I saw when I made my pledge to Sephia. The light coming from the woman was very similar to the attack skill Sepia was currently using. ¡®You¡¯ve become an all-round character.¡¯ Among the classes that supported allies, there was no class in Dio¡¯s memory that possessed such powerful skills. When it comes to the priest class on the order board, it is standard practice to always hire NPCs with other combat professions rather than going it alone. If I had been able to obtain Sepia¡¯s class on the order board, I would have definitely cleared the scenario on my own. ¡®Is it time to leave now? Now, the amount of experience you can gain is low¡­.¡¯ The respawn monsters were as strong as they could get, but the experience they could gain did not increase significantly. Dio, who felt firsthand that staying here was a waste of time, felt that it was time to leave the Demon World. Flash! Dio, who was trying to organize the situation around him, looked up at the sky to see the surroundings blinking like lightning. ¡®Now that I think about it¡­¡¯ Rumbling ¨C Clouds swirled in the sky of the Demonic Mirror and a sound of thunder was heard. And again, several bolts of lightning strike. Damn it! S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. An elf who fell from the sky with a thunderbolt. The lightning disappeared as if absorbed by the legendary weapon ¡®Vijaya¡¯ in her hand, a weapon for protection and hope for victory. It was Elaine Elfinelud. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 165 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 165Episode 165: Originally, Elaine¡¯s oath was not in Dio¡¯s prior plan. From the beginning, all work to undo Elaine¡¯s brainwashing was left to Crassus. So when Kalphael tried to heal Elaine with illusion magic, I wasn¡¯t very interested. Because being called the Seven Stars is a task that one can do well. However, an unexpected situation occurred, and D.O. had no choice but to step forward. As soon as Dio used the oath of liberation on Elaine, he entered her consciousness. A different method from sepia. This may have been because Elaine, the subject of the oath, was mentally unstable. ¡®The polluted world tree¡­ that level of dominance even though Crassus destroyed the main body.¡¯ Dio recalled the memory of encountering a part of the polluted World Tree in Elaine¡¯s consciousness. The World Tree¡¯s anger at Dio¡¯s words trying to persuade Elaine looked like a demon. Dio, too, was almost expelled out of Elaine¡¯s consciousness due to the pushing force of the World Tree. However, even the power of the World Tree could not dare to invade the realm of the ¡®system¡¯ used by Dio. [While the Oath of Liberation is in progress, the caster resists threats from the target.] After systematically showing that Dio was safe, Dio was able to talk to Elaine without worry. Of course, it was unclear whether he would accept the oath of liberation or not¡­ but fortunately, Elaine held Dio¡¯s hand. [The designated target has accepted the ¡®contract¡¯.] [Stamina is consumed depending on the status condition applied to the target.] [If the stamina required for consumption is insufficient, the contract may fail.] [The oath of liberation has been completed. .] [According to the oath, 10% of the player¡¯s stats are destroyed.] [According to the oath, the target, , is subordinate to the player.] At that moment, complete ¡®recovery from abnormal status¡¯ is possible with the oath of liberation. It was immediately applied to Elaine. As can be seen from Kalphael¡¯s explanation, what was constantly whispering to Elaine was the curse of the polluted World Tree. This may be the same for other elves, but it is unclear whether others will accept the curse of the World Tree to the end like Elaine. This was because Elaine was a special case. The fear of thinking that if you find out the truth, there will be no reason to live. It was so big that it protected itself from the curse of the World Tree. However, it has been affected by the mental attack of the polluted World Tree. Now that the oath of liberation has been completed, Elaine¡¯s strong heart has been revived. After waking up, Elaine sobbed and apologized to Crassus. I no longer made the extreme choice of choosing my own death. Nevertheless, Elaine felt so sorry that Dio gave her the first order. Don¡¯t feel sorry for Crassus anymore. And for the sake of Crassus and the elves, we must annihilate the true enemy. In an instant, the new revenge that Dio had told her took root in her heart. Luna polluted the World Tree and made her people point swords at each other. Her hatred for the moon controlled her heart, and she followed Dio¡¯s orders without complaint to make this happen. No, in fact, he even took the lead in killing the demon beasts rather than Dio. ¡®It was unexpected, but I guess I¡¯m glad it worked out well.¡¯ Dio looked at Elaine, who had prioritized clearing away the demonic beasts that were a threat to the group. ¡°All nearby enemies have been annihilated.¡± Elaine spoke to Dio in a hard voice. Even though we made a pact, my relationship with her doesn¡¯t seem to have improved much. Although Dio helped through a pledge, the relationship of ¡®subordination¡¯ was unclear to Elaine, who hated humans. Well, it doesn¡¯t matter anyway. Because Elain no longer has hatred for Crassus. When something unexpected happened due to Elain¡¯s runaway, Dio could tell from Kalphael¡¯s conversation that the curse of the polluted World Tree had not completely disappeared. Kalphael explained that this was because Elaine amplified the World Tree¡¯s curse because she did not want to accept the truth, but¡­ ¡®It seemed like she knew about the existence of the covenant.¡¯ Kalphael¡¯s actions seem to indicate that he knows that Dio has the skills to solve the problem. Of course, it could not be guaranteed that he knew this from the beginning and deliberately led this situation. In fact, Kalphael also seemed very embarrassed during Elain¡¯s rampage. ¡®It would seem that he knows some of Solari¡¯s power.¡¯ Anyway, putting Kalphael¡¯s doubts aside, the decisive reason for using the Pledge of Liberation on Elaine was simple. ¡®Thanks to you, I ended the Demon Lord¡¯s hunt easily.¡¯ Dio can gain immediate benefits by subordinating Elaine. It was ¡®dope¡¯. Originally, Dio had planned to end the demon hunting in a reasonable manner. If you receive the help of the seven stars, the experience points you can gain will be allocated to a small amount. However, by making Elaine a subordinate as a pledge of liberation, that problem was completely solved. It is possible to subordinate transcendental beings of level 400 or higher. In addition, since Elaine was systematically placed under Dio¡¯s command, Dio was able to gain some of the experience points from her hunting. Thanks to this, when the respawn monsters became dangerously strong, Dio was able to monopolize even their experience points through Elaine. So, among the group, it was Dio who was able to level up more than anyone else. Thanks to Elaine, the help of the seven stars has reached a point where it is virtually unnecessary. In any case, it is difficult to level up the seven stars with the experience points gained from the Demon World, so in reality, the only ones who can benefit are Dio and his companions. Dio originally thought that his level in the Demon World would be around 380. This was because he was worried about the situation on the continent as he was unable to spend the whole day hunting in the devil¡¯s land. However, since Elaine joined as a pledge of liberation, the upper limit that Dio thought became meaningless. Thanks to Elaine¡¯s joining, Dio and his companions were able to hunt faster than expected, and everyone achieved the feat of reaching level 400 or higher. This was possible because of the special conditions of the magic world. The monsters that respawn become increasingly stronger and you can receive experience rewards based on the appropriate level. So, if the conditions are right, the player can hit a maximum of 450 in Demonic Land. Anything more than that is because there are limits to the Demon World, but Dio has reached a goal that is much higher than his original goal. Not only did he raise his level, but the fact that Elaine became his subordinate also meant that Dio¡¯s power increased further. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª : Elline : 430 : Ranger Master Strength: 411 Dexterity: 627 Intelligence: 477 Stamina: 434 Mana: 435 HP: 4106 MP: 4119 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Elaine holds the ¡®Master¡¯ class. Ranger Master¡¯s agility stat correction value increases by +20%. In addition, Elaine was an elf race whose abilities were set to be superior to those of the human race. Also a high elf. As a result, the agility and intelligence modifiers increase by 10%, allowing you to have even worse stats than your peers. Even Elaine¡¯s abilities aren¡¯t just about strength. She is the younger sister of Crassus, the former elder of the elves, and is someone who even received the protection of the forest spirit. ¡®To the extent that Crassus values Elaine, my life will be guaranteed.¡¯ Dio looked at ¡®Vijaya¡¯ held by Elaine. This was a gift that Crassus gave to Elaine out of regret. Thanks to this, Elaine¡¯s combat ability has improved significantly compared to before. However, there were not only benefits to Elaine¡¯s joining. Dio, who agreed to Kalphael¡¯s intentions, immediately remembered the oath of liberation. I couldn¡¯t help but think about the penalty for the pledge of liberation. The Oath of Liberation cannot be easily used, and it cannot be guaranteed that one will be able to obtain a power stronger than that of Elaine in the future. In fact, at this point, Elaine can be seen as the perfect person for Dio¡¯s oath of liberation. If so, the biggest problem is that you have to pay 10% of the stats in return, which was a pretty painful penalty for Dio, who had raised his level considerably. As I leveled up so far, I found all kinds of hidden pieces and raised my stats to make up for the first oath penalty. From the recovered stats, 10% is again deducted. Since the stat reduction given in the penalty is proportional, it is natural that the higher the level, the more you lose. Dio was even given double bonus points from level 250 thanks to Solari¡¯s blessing. ¡®Still, considering that I was able to raise my level to this level thanks to Elaine¡­¡¯ ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Status Window] : 450 : Great Warrior of the Sun Strength: 600 Dexterity: 500 Intelligence: 500 Stamina: 500 Mana: 500 Bonus Points: 429 HP: 4529 MP: 4529 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Unlike Sepia and Elaine, it drops cleanly to 0. Dio¡¯s stats. This was because Dio distributed the stats appropriately enough to use them efficiently. In addition, there were a whopping 429 bonus points that had not yet been used. With the current stats alone, hunting Demon Lords was not a problem, so I left it behind. Dio decided to save bonus points for future situations. As of now, Dio has a strength comparable to the seven stars or the five swords. Anyway, when he made the oath of liberation with Elaine, Dio was around level 300. In order to make up for the lost points, Dio and Elaine constantly wandered around the magic world. And from the moment Dio¡¯s stats surpassed Elaine¡¯s, Dio¡¯s dominance began in earnest. Although the respawn monsters became stronger, it was actually a good thing for Dio, who was growing twice as fast as others. The higher the hunting difficulty, the more experience Dio gains. So, I was able to reach level 450, which is the maximum level that can be achieved in Demonic World. ¡®It¡¯s too time consuming to get everyone else to level 450.¡¯ Dio was able to gain this level of experience thanks to Elaine and Sepia, who were subordinates, but it was a lot of time loss to take care of the other party members.

It would be better to go to a hunting ground that gives more experience than the Demon Lord during that time, but¡­ ¡®There is no need to rush right now. Still, I guess I have to finish it now.¡¯ Dio tried to ask Elaine in front of him if she was in a state where she could continue hunting. But before Dio could say anything, Crassus¡¯ voice was heard. ¡°Elaine. ¡°Are you hurt anywhere?¡± ¡°¡­are you okay.¡± After seeing Crassus¡¯ greetings, Elaine hid behind Dio¡¯s back and muttered as if she was embarrassed for some reason. ¡°Isn¡¯t it time to get used to it?¡± ¡°shut up. ¡°It¡¯s still awkward.¡± After apologizing to Crassus, Elaine could not even look at Crassus properly due to the overwhelming embarrassment. However, this does not mean that he completely ignored her. Crassus gave Elain Visaya as a gift and they hunted down demonic beasts together. However, Dio said there was no need to overprotect Crassus and left the hunting of the demonic beasts entirely to Elaine. This was because if Crassus intervened, the experience points that could be monopolized would be split in two. Of course, Crassus did not understand this, but Dio requested the support of the seven stars, including Crassus, solely in searching for the demonic beasts. Even now, Calliope is away to check the respawn situation of the demon beasts, as requested by Dio. Since there was some time left before she returned, Dio gave the group a short rest. He also needs to think about his actions after finishing the hunt for Demon Lord. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 166 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 166Episode 166 ¡°Vijaya means eternal victory. ¡°The World Tree handed this over to me at the last moment.¡± ¡°Can you give me something this precious?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°Now you must lead the elves to victory.¡± In the midst of Crassus and Elaine¡¯s serious conversation, Dio sat alone and looked at Elaine and the resting Sephia alternately. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°No, I have something to check for a moment.¡± Dio thought about Sepia¡¯s question for a moment and then opened his mouth again to Sepia. ¡°Sepia, there was no problem when you went under the cliff and when you got too far away from me, right?¡± ¡°yes. ¡°Just as you said.¡± What Dio was talking about to Sephia right now was about the characteristics that apply to the ¡®contractors¡¯ who are subject to the oath. This means breaking the bond of obedience. And in the conversation between the two, it was stated that this characteristic had been alleviated. This was because the level of the oath of liberation was raised one level and a new change was made. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Skill: Oath of Liberation Lv.3 Current Contractor: [2/2] Additional Effect: As a reward for Oath of Liberation level 3, some characteristics applied to subordinates are changed. It¡¯s possible. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The basic effect did not change. If the oath is made, the target becomes subordinate and the caster receives an appropriate penalty. However, after reaching level 3, it was found that there were changes to the characteristics due to additional effects. ¡®When going from level 1 to level 2, the number of contractors increased¡­¡¯ The number of contractors is still 2 spaces. Dio thought in his heart that by consuming the last square, the level of the oath would increase and the number of contractees would expand again. But that idea was too convenient. In the first place, contractors have the characteristic of being ¡®unconditional allies.¡¯ It is a skill with considerable merit simply by having Elaine, one of the five swords, and Sephia, who has grown to the level of seven stars, as contractors. In some ways, increasing the maximum amount that can be contracted here may be greed. Dio once again looked carefully at the system window where the newly updated additional effects were listed. [Subordinate-only trait] [Obedience] A subordinate obeys the master¡¯s commands. You can issue orders based on an oath through the keyword ¡®order¡¯. You may refuse orders, but at the cost of suffering according to your oath. ¡®[Obedience] is the same as before.¡¯ Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There was no change in the [Obedience] part of the exclusive characteristics. However, there were clear differences in the other two items. [Bonding] The death of the owner is shared with the contractees who made the oath. The subordinate must act together with the master. [Breaking] The owner may break the covenant with the subordinate at any time. However, if destroyed, the contractor¡¯s slot will not become empty again. ¡®One item each was deleted from [Bonding] and [Destroy].¡¯ There are two major changes in the characteristics of subordinates. The first is the distance limit of [Solidarity]. The item ¡®If you stay more than 1km away from your owner, you will be subject to pain according to the oath¡¯ has disappeared.¡¯ Originally, there was a restriction that subordinates had to stay with their masters at all times. If this is not done, the dependent will face suffering that can lead to death. However, this has been alleviated, and now Dio does not have any problems no matter how far away he is from Sepia or Elaine. And the second was the price for [destruction]. -A contract that is broken will face death according to the contract. Originally, among the items about [breaking], it was stated that death would come to a contract that was broken. However, now the ¡®death¡¯ penalty has completely disappeared. This was like saying that Dio could set the contractor free whenever he wanted. ¡®If I do this, I will be able to cancel my oath right away. But¡­¡¯ Dio¡¯s situation is not good for thinking about the moral issues that modern people should think about. If he releases the contractor out of pity, Dio will only suffer losses. This was because there was no change in the fact that if a contract was terminated, the contract slot would not be filled. ¡®When the time comes¡­¡¯ If the day to return home approaches. Dio¡¯s heart was quite comforted just by the fact that he could set Sephia and Elaine free. This was because I was secretly concerned about the dependency relationship that put life as collateral. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Sephia asked back at Dio, who spoke first and was lost in thought alone. Dio, who finally came to his senses, shook his head and checked Sephia¡¯s condition again. ¡°No problem. How is your body? ¡°What is the condition of the weapon?¡± ¡°I have quite a bit of stored mana left. But the weapon¡­¡± Sepia checked the ¡®Provision of the Sun¡¯, which stores mana, and then showed the staff she was holding to Dio. A legendary grade staff brought from Dio¡¯s personal warehouse. Originally, the brilliant jewel attached to the wand sparkled to the point of brilliance, but now its shine had faded significantly. This was because of the rough hunting that lasted for more than a month. ¡®It won¡¯t be long before it breaks, right?¡¯ Dio thought as he examined the staff in Sepia¡¯s hand. Since there was no blacksmith class among the party, repairing weapons was impossible. Still, they were able to survive because the items Dio gave to the group were all of Unique Legend level or higher. Of course, it was now so worn out that it was better to rebuild it than to repair it. ¡°I can¡¯t help it. Hang in there until you leave the devil¡¯s land. ¡°If you go to the city, I¡¯ll give you better weapons.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a waste¡­can¡¯t I fix it and use it again?¡± Dio scratched his cheek at the words of Sepia, who seemed to have quite an affection for the cane. In a way, Sepia¡¯s reaction was natural. Because, unlike Dio, there was no way Sepia would understand changing equipment according to level. Because the weapon at this level was a good enough weapon. However, it is not possible to continue giving level 300 weapons to the current Sepia. ¡°Well, even if I fix it, this weapon won¡¯t be able to match your level.¡± ¡°Well, I was vaguely feeling it too. ¡°At some point, it seemed like the weapon couldn¡¯t withstand the force.¡± Sephia nodded, as if she understood what Dio said. The current level of the party, including Sepia, was equivalent to five swords or seven stars. However, if we were to consider whether the party could win a fight with five swords, there were still many shortcomings. One thing that is definitely lacking is the equipment. Compared to the five swords and seven stars, Dio¡¯s companions¡¯ equipment was very poor. ¡®If only the weapon had been better, the time could have been shortened further.¡¯ In Dio¡¯s inventory, he had all the equipment he and his companions would use in the future. However, due to the unexpected addition of Elaine, Dio and his companions all exceeded level 400. None of the weapons currently in the inventory were suitable for Dio or his companions. This was also because the warehouse that Dio had visited so far did not have equipment suitable for a transcendental person. Equipment suitable for transcendentalists refers to equipment of level 400 or higher. ¡®For items above level 400, the minimum grade is legendary. There¡¯s a truckload of more in my warehouse.¡¯ The problem was that the high-value items were stored in two warehouses. One of these warehouses was none other than the warehouse in Atra, the Holy Kingdom of the Luna Church. ¡®Why did you put it in Atra?¡­¡¯ Dio blamed his past self for organizing warehouse items by level. I can¡¯t even think of going to Atra¡¯s warehouse yet. Now that Galletto is dead and Elaine has become Dio¡¯s subordinate through the oath of liberation. Clearly, the power of the Luna Church had been sufficiently weakened. In addition, Dio and his companions¡¯ levels all exceeded level 400. However, as Dio had worried earlier, the party¡¯s current equipment is inferior to the current level. If you think about the remaining five swords and the ¡®paladins¡¯ of the Luna Church¡­ ¡®Even if the seven stars join together, an all-out war would be difficult.¡¯ Fighting in Atra, which can be said to be the headquarters of the Luna Church, should be avoided if possible. The battle taking place in Atra is a completely different situation from when Galleto, who participated in the Demon Expedition, was easily killed. Numerous paladins and heresy inquisitors guarding the saints. Considering Scarlett and Paul were leading them all, it was no easy task. In addition, Aldur was still a difficult person to understand, so he was a difficult opponent to deal with. ¡®Among them all, Kaleina is the biggest problem. Until now, I¡¯ve never had Kaleina as an enemy.¡¯ Dio thought of Kaleyna, a saint from the Luna Church. In the Order version, Kaleina was a being close to perfection. From the beginning, the Luna Church was the players¡¯ most reliable ally. This is because he had to give Kaleina a helping hand in order to survive in the order board, which is known to have extremely difficult game levels. Kaleina is an NPC who has reached level 500, which is the maximum level. A supporter who acts as a typical ¡®priest¡¯ class that does not use attack magic. However, the auxiliary magic used as a supporter was so effective that it was impossible to clear it without Kaleina. The final chapter of the scenario is called the standard route, where you defeat the Demon King with Kaleina¡¯s help. That means that the person who can rival the Demon King is not the player, but Kaleina. ¡®But that doesn¡¯t mean there¡¯s no possibility of breaking through.¡¯ Dio thought of Kaleina and began to organize the information he knew about Luna¡¯s saint. Although the player has never had an enemy, the person with whom the player develops the greatest bond as soon as they enter the final chapter is none other than Kaleina. That¡¯s why Dio knew. This refers to the gaps that arise because something is ¡®close¡¯ to perfection. ¡®Atra¡¯s warehouse will have to be postponed for the time being. In that case, the remaining warehouse is probably the empire¡¯s warehouse.¡¯ Dio thought of other warehouses like the Atra warehouse where high-level equipment was stored. The warehouse was located in the capital of the empire where the imperial ¡®Avalon Palace¡¯ exists. One of the reasons Dio gave credit to Prion in this expedition was because of the empire¡¯s warehouse. The current Dio¡¯s face and name were quite well known on the continent, even excluding his achievements in successfully subduing Demon Lord. If Prince Prian had been out of sight in this state, it would have been difficult to even visit important areas such as the imperial capital. But Dio was sure. The fact is that Dio himself will not have any problems going to the empire¡¯s warehouse after this expedition. ¡®Prian¡­it looks like he has quite a crush on me.¡¯ Dio doesn¡¯t know what Prian and the Allied Forces, who returned from the Demon World, are saying to the people of the world. Unlike them, the current Dio is still staying in the demon world. Nevertheless, there was a reason for Dio to be confident. Hwaaaaaaa! Dio grinned as he felt the power of ¡®faith¡¯ overflowing through his body. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 167 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¡¯. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª 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 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª 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 ¨C 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.¡± S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.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. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 168 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 168Episode 168 : A giant demonic beast rampaging through the muddy swamp of the Demon World. The beast called Death Stalker had the shape of a scorpion with green carapace surrounding it. ¡°Shhh!¡± Death Stalker fearlessly raised his tail towards a human who had set foot in the land of the devil. Cheeeeeek! The poison spewing out from the tail made the ominous Demon World even more horrendous, and the humans facing the Death Stalker quickly kicked the ground. Faba Park! The man who showed speed at which Death Stalker could not even react properly was none other than a man who was said to be the strongest in the Empire. Suddenly! Gunther¡¯s sword swung, and Death Stalker¡¯s large claws were cut off in one go. ¡°Keeeeeeek!¡± A Death Stalker screaming in pain and running wild. Without showing any mercy to the Death Stalker, Gunther swung his sword once again and cut off the man¡¯s head. Coo! The heavy Death Stalker fell to the floor as if he had fulfilled his duty, and Gunther muttered as he shook off his sword, which was covered in sticky blood. ¡°It¡¯s been a while, but it¡¯s such a terrible place¡­¡± This wasn¡¯t Gunteo¡¯s first time in a place called Magyeong. Over the past several decades, Gunther has frequently performed missions to explore the Demonic Land according to the emperor¡¯s orders. I felt it every time, but the magic beasts of the Demonic World were truly picky. The magic beasts were not a threat to Gunther¡¯s skills. However, the number of demonic beasts, with no end in sight, was enough to burden even Gunter. ¡®Anyway, were the demonic beasts of the Demon World this powerful? I heard that Akrich was defeated¡­¡¯ Gunther thought to himself as he looked at the dead Death Stalker. As mentioned earlier, Gunther has experience fighting numerous battles with demonic beasts since ancient times. However, the strength of the demonic beast he was currently facing was the strongest among the demonic beasts that Gunther remembered, so he felt doubtful. ¡®It may mean that even if Acrich dies, there are still signs of the Demon Lord¡¯s resurrection.¡¯ Gunther has come to Magyeong under orders from the current emperor to find Dio, a key figure in the Eastern Allied Forces. However, in addition to looking for Dio, Gunter felt that something was happening in the demonic world that was not unusual. There was a need to explore the magic world a little more deeply. However, it was good that we were able to quickly reach the depths of the Demon Realm with the help of the imperial family¡¯s best magic corps¡­ ¡®This original Demon Realm is so wide that I don¡¯t know if we will be able to find it in time.¡¯ Gunther looked around the empty plains of Ma-gyeong. It¡¯s already been a few days since I wandered around the devil. Here, rather than finding any traces of Dio, Gunther only encountered numerous demonic beasts. And that too, as I felt the strange phenomenon that each demon I encountered seemed to be getting stronger. ¡°Or maybe I¡¯m old.¡± Gunther laughed and put the blood-stained sword into his belt. At first, Gunther was not dissatisfied with defeating the demonic beasts, as it was an appropriate place to sharpen his skills for the rapidly changing world ahead. But the battle continues endlessly. Gunther felt increasingly anxious as he cut down the magical beast that showed no signs of abating. Because His Majesty¡¯s mission was the top priority for him. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡®I don¡¯t have time to waste time like this. We have to somehow catch up with the Luna Church that acted earlier.¡¯ Gunther thought of the Luna Church, which was always one step ahead of the Empire. The denomination has already sent a person named Archbishop Paul to Magyeong. If he finds Dio rather than Gunther, the empire¡¯s position will be in trouble in many ways. ¡®If Paul finds Dio and kills him¡­¡¯ Now that the Holy Kingdom is falling, the Empire must take advantage of the Luna Church¡¯s loopholes. The core of this is Dio. From the Empire¡¯s perspective, they wanted to capture Dio and fight together against the Luna Church. And this emperor¡¯s intention is something that Gunther also agrees with. ¡®Still, he won¡¯t be easily defeated.¡¯ Gunther remembered Dio, whom he had met in Malobon, the capital of Bertio. Gunther was aware that Dio at that time had achieved far greater achievements than his son Delcid. ¡®What was I doing at that age?¡¯ Like I said before, is it because I¡¯m older? Gunther recalled his younger days compared to Dio, who remembered him even though he was carrying out the emperor¡¯s duties. ¡®Yeah¡­ I was looking for guys who used swords here and there. Like Delcid now.¡¯ Gunther when he was young and Delcid now only valued the unmanned path. That¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t help but compare it even more to D.O. Dio was different from Gunther himself and his son. Even though he was strong enough, he was not greedy about becoming stronger. He seemed to know how to use his strength. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t be able to take the lead in subduing the Demon Lord, which no one has dared to do. ¡®People are excited. To the hero who can defeat the devil.¡¯ Gunther knew the story after hearing it from the Allied forces who returned from the Majyeong expedition. The current Dio is much stronger than when we met before. ¡®Perhaps there will be no one as suitable as him to succeed me.¡¯ As the emperor¡¯s sword, Gunther holds an important role in protecting the empire and continent from evil. When I get older and retire someday, I was thinking of passing this position on to my son, but these days, the person called Dio keeps popping up in my head. The character Dio is far ahead of Delcid in terms of both skill and reputation. If you suggest it to the emperor, you will be able to use it to protect the empire right away. ¡°Shhh!¡± Perhaps because it stayed in one place for a long time, a new Death Stalker rose up from under the ground. The Death Stalker¡¯s claws, which were breathing heavily, perhaps in anger at the death of a colleague, hit Gunther. However, by the time the Death Stalker was approaching through the tunnel, Gunther had already taken action. Phew! Gunther climbed on top of Death Stalker¡¯s head and swung his sword. As a result, Death Stalker was unable to even utter a scream and died instantly. ¡®It¡¯s not just one guy. I guess I¡¯m the type that is attracted to the smell of blood.¡¯ Even though Gunther had subdued the Death Stalker, he still felt the vibrations rumbling beneath the land of the Demon Lord. Gunther, who was about to draw his sword again in preparation for the demonic beasts that would surely flock again, sensed something strange. ¡®Did you pass me by? Wait a minute¡­¡¯ Gunther raised his head and followed the path of the demonic beasts moving under the ground. ¡®That¡­¡¯ Although it was quite far away, Gunther could definitely feel it. A being as powerful as yourself. And he too seemed to notice his presence. Parbat! Gunther kicked off the ground without delay and ran forward. Every time he approaches his destination, the corpses of the demonic beasts are lying in rows. Gunther sensed that the person in front of him was a member of the Luna Church who came before him. He was the archbishop of the holy kingdom of Atra, the strongest holy knight in the holy kingdom, and¡­ his old friend, Paul Eppenhaus. * * * The scary thing about Death Stalker is not only because of its powerful poison. A kinship consciousness that cannot exist in a demonic beast. Death Stalker surprisingly had camaraderie. Because of this, they had a habit of gathering in groups when their own people were in danger, and they still gather together to save their people. However, this time I chose the wrong opponent. ¡°Whoosh-whoosh-¡± Dozens of Death Stalkers with their bodies brutally mutilated. Among them, Death Stalker, who was barely alive, struggled to escape out of fear. Push! However, the merciless sword that would not let this go took Death Stalker¡¯s life. A place that suddenly became quiet. In this place decorated with Death Stalker¡¯s corpses, only two people stood facing each other in silence. ¡°It reminds me of old times.¡± Gunther opened his mouth, looking at his old friend, who did not even look like a priest. ¡°Do you remember when we were young?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Despite Gunther¡¯s unexpected question, Paul didn¡¯t respond at all. These two knew without saying anything. By whose order did it come deep into the demonic realm? For what purpose are you exploring the magic world? But conversations about it were inconsistent. The days when we paved the way for the sword together are long gone. Now that your own beliefs are firmly established. Because Gunther and Paul were enemies who had to cross swords with each other. For the emperor and for the saint. ¡°I¡¯ve never lost to you except once.¡± Was it to suppress the momentum? Gunther smiled and said to Paul. This was an extremely childish provocation. However, perhaps because Paul was used to Gunther¡¯s words, he ignored it and opened his mouth. ¡°Well, am I already senile? ¡°I think I won in sparring recently.¡± ¡°I saved your face back then. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that?¡± Gunther smiled brightly at Paul¡¯s words and continued. Their conversation seemed like a close childhood friend chatting as they grew older and reminisced about their past. Without any worries. Without any selflessness. ¡°Let¡¯s stop the small talk here. ¡°I guess we¡¯re both busy.¡± Paul cut off the conversation coldly and raised the sword that had cut down the demonic beast just moments ago. ¡°It¡¯s still not fun.¡± Gunther expressed his sorrow inwardly at Paul¡¯s hostile reaction. But I can¡¯t help it. Because our respective positions were never light enough to have a proper conversation with an old friend. Throw in! Gunther perked up. He had fought fierce battles with numerous demonic beasts while wandering in the Demon World, but as a sword master, there was no way he could have been this exhausted. And that position was the same for Paul. In keeping with Gunther¡¯s energy, Paul also exuded divine power. ¡°okay. Would you like to hang out for the first time in a while?¡± Gunther was the first to gain momentum and take the fight, but deep down he hoped that Paul would avoid his match. Although the relationship between the Empire and the Luna Church was not very good, it did not mean that one side was trying to destroy the other. In any case, weren¡¯t both powers aiming to protect the continent? Moreover, the goal of finding Dio was also the same now. Even though what they wanted from Dio was different, Gunther had a greater desire to resolve the issue through conversation with Paul. But I don¡¯t know Gunther¡¯s feelings. Paul, who knew but pretended not to know, pointed his sword at Gunther. ¡°Come with all your might. ¡°Maybe¡­this match could be our last fight.¡± ¡°¡­As expected, you are no fun.¡± Gunther swallowed his laughter as he looked at Paul, who never changed even after so many years. But Paul wasn¡¯t the only thing that didn¡¯t change. Gunther still tried to control the fighting spirit that surged when he faced a strong person. The opponent is the only being on the continent who can compare to oneself. Even though he had an important mission under the Emperor¡¯s orders, Gunther was happy. This is the moment when I cross swords with an old friend again. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 169 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 169Episode 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 ¨C 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 ¨C 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. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. 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. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 170 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 170Episode 170 Whioooooo ¨C Dio turned to Paul again, who had withstood his sword energy. The power of Taeyang Baldo, used five times in a row, was clearly enormous. Nevertheless, Dio¡¯s attack only cracked the shield created by Paul and did not completely pierce it. ¡®As expected, the difference in equipment cannot be ignored.¡¯ Dio glanced at the sword he used in the attack as a greeting. A level 370 weapon with Solari¡¯s attributes given as ¡®Graceful All-Purpose Jade¡¯. It was clearly one of the better weapons among Dio¡¯s items, but it was not at a level suitable for dealing with Paul. Equipment is as important as natural growth on the order board. The person I was currently dealing with, Paul, possessed several pieces of weapons called Luna¡¯s holy relics. ¡®I might need to overpower it a bit.¡¯ In the current situation, when comparing Paul¡¯s power to his own, the situation was comparable. In Dio¡¯s memory, Paul¡¯s level was about level 460, similar to Calliope. Moreover, considering the armament he had, it was clear that he was not an opponent that could be defeated easily. ¡®But I have this skill.¡¯ Dio is currently far ahead of Paul in terms of personal abilities thanks to the passive skill ¡®Power of Faith¡¯. Thanks to about 90,000 believers, the ability level increased by 9%. However, when you use the power of faith directly, it increases by as much as 90%. To put it simply, it was like saying that it would increase the current maximum power of DIO by about two times. If the gap is this much, it doesn¡¯t matter whether there is a difference in equipment or not. The only thing that matters is how long it lasts. The duration is also now about 90 seconds compared to the number of believers. ¡®That¡¯s enough.¡¯ Quang! As soon as the power of faith was activated, the energy that had radiated from Dio soared once again. As a result, everything around them, including the air, began to shake, and Gunther, who was watching, could not help but be surprised again. ¡°That wasn¡¯t power?¡± In a fight, suppressing the initiative is essential. At the same time as Gunther¡¯s surprise, Paul also flinches and takes a step back. [The power of faith active effect has been activated.] [Duration: 91 seconds] Dio glanced at the system window that was turning on like a timer. At most, it lasts 1 minute and 30 seconds. However, Dio never thought that this time was insufficient. There is a huge gap between Dio and Paul now that can be seen without even having to compare their skills. ¡®It¡¯s awesome in there.¡¯ * * * As Dio kicked the ground, his new form disappeared so quickly that Paul could not chase it. Paul opened his mouth to say something, but Dio¡¯s sword struck him before he could open his mouth. bang! Paul instinctively raised his sword to protect his head, and fortunately his advanced experience saved his life. However, the moment Paul met Dio¡¯s sword, he could feel the overwhelming difference in power. Kuung-! Poole¡¯s knees fell to the floor, unable to withstand the overwhelming shock coming from his hands. The shock didn¡¯t end with just Paul¡¯s body. As if Paul¡¯s strength, which gave him the upper hand even against Gunther, the empire¡¯s strongest sword master, was laughable. As if it wasn¡¯t enough to weigh down his body, he started to collapse on his knees, which were on the ground. Kagagagak-! Unable to hold on any longer, Paul twisted his arm with all his strength and barely escaped Dio¡¯s attack. But all it does is let go of the attack. Paul raised all his divine power to block Dio¡¯s attack once again. Ka-ga-ga-ga-gang! Dozens of competitions took place in less than a second. Even though Paul knew that he should avoid Dio¡¯s attack without receiving it, he failed to do so. Because Dio¡¯s speed was faster than that. Damn it! Paul¡¯s superhuman body seemed to be able to withstand it somehow, but his weapons could not. Luna¡¯s holy relic, ¡®Azot¡¯, given by the saint to the Last Sword. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Azoth¡¯s shiny blade, which seemed to last forever, slowly began to crack. ¡®crazy¡­!¡¯ The shock felt even though I only blocked it. If it hadn¡¯t been for Azoth, it would have been Paul¡¯s body that would have broken first. ¡°It doesn¡¯t fit well.¡± Dio muttered, feeling unsatisfied even though he was already completely overwhelmed. This was because Dio did not aim for Paul¡¯s life right away. There was a reason why D.O., who was a senior, did not compete despite such an overwhelming power difference. Paul is the most trusted person among Saint Kaleyna¡¯s closest associates. Paul¡¯s interrogation was absolutely necessary for Dio to prepare for the saint. Of course, I don¡¯t think Paul will easily give Dio the information he needs, but it¡¯s still better than killing Paul right away. The reason he used the power of faith was not because he wanted to kill Paul, but because he needed to quickly subdue him. It¡¯s not impossible to subdue him without the power of faith, but if Paul decides to run away, it will be a headache for Dio as well. ¡®Should I try using a little more strength?¡¯ When Paul held on better than expected, Dio turned his wrist leisurely. In response, Paul hurriedly kicked the ground and took a step back, but his strength was too slow to completely escape Dio¡¯s attack range. phut! Chachaechaechaeng! Before Paul could react properly, Dio¡¯s fast sword swung. Currently, Dio was showing movements that focused solely on attack, and Paul knew it too. However, despite knowing this, Paul did not dare to attack Dio by taking advantage of the opportunity. This is because the opponent¡¯s abilities were overwhelmingly superior in all aspects, not just speed. Kagagagak-fit! Paul¡¯s posture, which was focused on blocking Dio¡¯s repeated attacks, slowly collapsed. There were limits to what he could do with the sword, and in the end, Paul¡¯s body ended up with wounds here and there. ¡°Tsk!¡± Paul, who had a minor wound, came to his senses once again and increased his divine power. As long as it wasn¡¯t a fatal wound, it wasn¡¯t much of a problem to Paul. Paul¡¯s class is ¡®Mighty Paladin¡¯, which is considered the strongest among the Paladin series. Hahahaha! As Luna¡¯s dazzling light enveloped Paul, the wounds inflicted by Dio began to heal in an instant. ¡®There was no class like this to endure.¡¯ Dio muttered to himself when he saw Paul¡¯s appearance. Considering that players¡¯ nickname for the Mighty Paladin is Castle Wheel, it was not surprising that Paul held up so well. However, this is also possible because Dio takes into account the situation and deals with it. Let¡¯s go! A strong spark flickered on the sword Dio was holding. The power of the sun he created emitted a force so great that it could not even be compared to the power of the moon that Paul was using. ¡°Take it well.¡± Dio kindly predicted his attack. I was confident that the other person would never be able to avoid it even if I told them anyway. Took! Dio jumped high and slashed his sword at Paul. An attack that is honest enough for the opponent to prepare for. Although he could not shake off Dio¡¯s speed, Paul parried the attack by infusing all his divine power into Azoth. Just as Dio intended. Blah blah blah ¨C Clang! ¡°Oh no!¡± The holy relic Azoth could not withstand Dio¡¯s power and eventually broke, and Paul¡¯s panicked cry was heard. What Dio was targeting now was not Paul. Luna¡¯s light and the holy relic Azoth, which helped Paul with his body, were Dio¡¯s targets. And successfully destroyed Azot. There is nothing to protect Paul now. Dio swung his sword once again. Suddenly! ¡°Whoosh!!¡± Paul¡¯s right arm was cut off in an instant, and he bit his lip in great pain. If the opponent was an ordinary person, you might think that he was incapacitated by amputating his body, but the opponent was a paladin. He is also the strongest and last paladin. He is a person who cannot be confident that he neutralized his opponent just by having one of his arms blown off. Luna¡¯s power is strong enough to restore even a severed body. Papak! Fit! Paul tried his best to avoid Dio¡¯s attack, but it was already too late. Dio¡¯s sword cut off Paul¡¯s remaining arms and legs in an instant. Is it because the body was surrounded by divine power in that brief moment? Although it was not severed like his right arm, Dio¡¯s attack was still not shallow. thud! Paul, who was badly wounded, eventually fell to his knees and Dio lifted his sword and held it to his neck. ¡°Huh¡­yeah. ¡°I think I was trying to say something. Let¡¯s see if they listen.¡± * * * ¡°I can¡¯t believe it when I see it.¡± Gunther was amazed at Dio, who quickly defeated Paul. The first few battles were evenly matched, with no one having the upper hand. But that only lasted a moment. Dio showed great momentum as if he was demonstrating his skills in earnest, and from that moment on, Gunther missed Dio¡¯s movements several times. As a sword master, he is so fast that his eyes cannot follow him! ¡®Even if I were to face him, I wouldn¡¯t be able to get past 20.¡¯ Only 30 seconds had passed. In that short period of time, Paul, whose skills were similar to mine, collapsed in an instant. Gunther, who had been mesmerized by Dio¡¯s overwhelming strength, came to his senses after hearing the conversation between Dio and Paul. ¡°You are making a mistake. ¡°The sun is more dangerous than the darkness.¡± ¡°Is that your last will?¡± Dio responds harshly to Paul¡¯s words as he stops bleeding from his severed arm. ¡°Why can¡¯t someone as powerful as you realize the truth? ¡°Turn your back on the sun and stand on the side of the moon, even now!¡± ¡°This is out of my mind. Did a saint say that? ¡°How about you stop being deceived by Luna and the saint and come under my wing?¡± ¡°dog sound!¡± At Dio¡¯s suggestion, Paul lost his temper and tried to get up. But unfortunately, Paul is so injured that he cannot move easily. Gunther, who was watching this, shook his head at the miserable appearance of his old rival. ¡®The Paul I know would never abandon Luna¡­ He is willing to sacrifice his life for Luna and the saint.¡¯ Gunther took his eyes off Paul and looked at Dio, who seemed relaxed. ¡®To him, Luna is a definite enemy. If Dio takes the lead, it is only a matter of time before the Holy Kingdom of Solari is established.¡¯ Gunther, who clearly saw Dio¡¯s power with his own eyes, assured. It is certainly a good thing that the Empire has come to stand more firmly on Dio¡¯s side. However¡­ ¡®If the Church of Solari, like the Church of Luna, influences the entire continent¡­ the position of the empire will ultimately remain the same. then.¡¯ Gunther was wary of the Solari Church becoming so large that the empire could not handle it, like the Luna Church. In order to avoid repeating the same history, the empire had to take clear measures to deal with this. Gunther, who was thinking about this and that, suddenly turned his head to Paul, who was smiling. Could it be that I have gone crazy? ¡®What are you trying to do in this situation¡­¡¯ The moment Gunther sensed something strange, things had already started to happen. Paul was covered in scars. An ominous gray liquid flowed out from the molar he bit into, along with blood. And the dazzling light that gathers into that gray liquid. The power felt from that light was much greater than the power of the sun that Dio showed. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 171 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 171There are three representative special moves in Episode 171: Over the Fantasy. These were called hacks by players because their power was on a different level. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The first is Nidhogg, a gift from Dio to Crassus. It is no exaggeration to say that Nidhogg is as powerful as a small nuclear warhead. Not only does it burn all the mana, but it also devastates the surrounding area. Even the World Tree that Luna covets was destroyed by Nidhogg¡¯s power, so it would be too much to say more about its power. The second is the player¡¯s skill ¡®Sky Slash¡¯. Sky Slash is the strongest skill recognized on the order board. Usually, if the skill name includes ¡®slash¡¯, you may think that it is a melee class-only skill. However, Sky Slash is definitely a common skill. Regardless of class, when a player uses Sky Slash, the power they possess is released and cuts everything in sight in a straight line. This is similar to the solar attack shown by Dio, but its power is on a different level. In the first place, the conditions for using the Sky Slash skill were that the player had to reach max level. In other words, you must reach level 500 to use it. Moreover, the difficulty level of learning is ridiculously high. A skill learned from Swordmaster Gunther by taking the imperial route and increasing intimacy with the emperor. Even if Gunther teaches you, it is not a skill that Gunther can use. As the story goes, Gunther reaches a large wall and in the process discovers that there is a level above the Transcendent. Sky Slash was created to reach the higher level. However, Gunther is ultimately unable to complete the Sky Slash and passes it on to the player. It is said that even if you do not simply follow the path of a swordsman, if you surpass the transcendent, you can have a power strong enough to cut down everything. In any case, as it is a skill that players can use, it comes with significant limitations. Although it is powerful enough to inflict a critical hit on the Demon King, the skill takes a very long time to cast and has a long cooldown. In any case, even if Dio acquires it now, it is a skill that he cannot use right away. And the last nuclear weapon, excluding Nidhogg and Sky Slash, is ¡®Light of Sacrifice¡¯, which is a priest-only skill. This is not as difficult to learn as Nidhogg or Sky Slash. Nevertheless, even if the player reaches max level with the priest class, he or she never uses ¡®Light of Sacrifice¡¯. This is because the Light of Sacrifice is activated at the cost of the user¡¯s life. Order board rules. The more you sacrifice, the stronger you become. Naturally, the greater the power possessed by the caster who decides to sacrifice themselves. The power of the Light of Sacrifice also becomes incredibly strong. Dio recalled the light of sacrifice that responded to the deadly attack used by the Demon King. The only skill that can block even the Demon King¡¯s special moves. This is what Paul wants to use now. If Paul were to use the Light of Sacrifice at such close range, even Dio would definitely not be able to save his life. But it doesn¡¯t matter. Because Dio already knew that Paul would use the light of sacrifice to fight to the death. * * * ¡®You immediately give up your life without any room for negotiation.¡¯ Dio looked down at Paul and scratched his head. In fact, one of the reasons I tried to talk to Paul was because I was concerned about the light of sacrifice. However, through just a few words of conversation, Dio was able to feel how strong Paul¡¯s faith in Luna was. From the beginning, Paul showed that he would never listen to anything he said. Perhaps the plan to find out something through Paul from the beginning was greedy. And Paul¡¯s attitude is that Dio is aware that this is a very likely action. ¡®Then, as per the original plan¡­¡¯ Now that Paul has cast the Light of Sacrifice, taking his life is no different from suicide. Paul is dead anyway, and if he were to cut off his head, the divine power he had accumulated would be stimulated and explode quickly. Dio opened his inventory and looked through the list of items. Dio has already prepared items suitable for the current situation. ¡®found.¡¯ Dio grinned at something he had discovered. * * * After Deathrugger died and before Dio and his group began hunting demons in earnest, Dio and Calliope headed somewhere alone. The place where Dio arrived was none other than Deathrugger¡¯s altar. It was a hideout created by Descruger himself to revive the Demon King. Although it was quite far away, it was not a big problem for Dio who was with Calliope. Moreover, since it was after Elaine was rescued, there was no problem with the liberation oath no longer being separated from the contractees. ¡°Why did you come here again?¡± ¡°I need to check the Demon King¡¯s condition.¡± ¡°Descruger is dead too, so there¡¯s nothing to worry about, right?¡± ¡°From my common sense, it is impossible to stop the Demon King¡¯s resurrection.¡± ¡°Is it inevitable?¡± Calliope muttered bitterly at Dio¡¯s words. It was natural for Calliope to feel helpless because even though she had worked so hard to prevent the Demon King¡¯s resurrection, she had to fight the Demon King in the end. ¡°Until now, I thought it was inevitable.¡± ¡°hmm?¡± Calliope, who was thinking about the dark future ahead, raised her eyebrows at Dio¡¯s words. Calliope believed without a doubt that Dio said that the Demon King¡¯s resurrection could not be prevented. He was the Key, the Grand Warrior of the Sun, and Solari thought she knew everything about him. However, the words Dio spoke just now were words that were difficult for Calliope to understand. Do you want to say that you can defy the inevitability that Solari spoke of? Seeing Calliope¡¯s distraught expression, Dio looked at her and smiled to himself. The inevitability of the Demon King¡¯s resurrection is a system in the game created solely based on Dio¡¯s experience as a ¡®player¡¯. It may be impossible to stop the Demon King with Dio¡¯s abilities now, but¡­ ¡®I am not alone now.¡¯ Dio recalled the time when he played the order board. Even then, I defeated Descruger and found the hidden altar here. But there was nothing more the player could do at this altar. The place where the Demon King was sealed was clearly hidden underground within this altar, but it was impossible to get to it using the player¡¯s abilities. It¡¯s not blocked by a barrier or something. If it¡¯s that kind of obstacle, Nidhogg can easily get through it. ¡®What the player needs is a powerful detection spell. Detection magic of at least 9 circle level.¡¯ Users could see that they had to reach at least 9 circles to approach the demon king who was preparing for resurrection. To summarize, unless you are a wizard of level 450 or higher, you will not be able to find the ¡®Devil¡¯s Core¡¯ hidden in this altar. No matter how much speedrunning the characters did, it was impossible to reach level 450 when Acrich appeared. No matter how fast you were, level 400 was the limit for dealing with Acrich. Even if the player gains a higher level and comes back, the Demon King¡¯s core has already been revived to some extent and moves to another location. But what about today¡¯s D.O.? ¡®Even if it¡¯s impossible for me. I have a calliope.¡¯ Dio climbed onto the altar and opened his mouth to Calliope. ¡°Can we detect it here?¡± ¡°Detection? ¡°What should I look for?¡± Calliope came up next to Dio, expressing doubt. Dio grinned while looking at Calliope. ¡°It is the devil¡¯s core.¡± * * * ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Rademos¡¯ Core] Grade: Myth Category: Unique Description: Contains the power of the demon king Rademos. The inherent power is unimaginably powerful. If the devil¡¯s power is stimulated, it may explode. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Dio looked at the Demon King¡¯s core taken out of the inventory. Through Calliope¡¯s search, Dio succeeded in retrieving the Demon King¡¯s core hidden in the altar. D.O. has made the dream strategy that I had only thought about until now a reality. ¡®The devil¡¯s core was taken in advance. If this happens, you won¡¯t have to worry about the final scene where the Demon King is resurrected.¡¯ Dio obtained Rademos¡¯ core and thought about its use for several days. And his thoughts soon reached the ¡®Light of Sacrifice¡¯ used by priests, and he realized how to use Rademos¡¯ core. It was Dio¡¯s first time obtaining Rademos¡¯ core, but thanks to the explanation provided by the system, he was able to clearly see what effect it had. ¡®When the devil dies, he explodes his heart.¡¯ The final moments of the Demon King whom Dio defeated several times. At that moment, the Demon King detonates his own nucleus and attempts to join the player. Dio assured that the contents of Rademos¡¯ core explained by the system were exactly this. This means that if Rademos¡¯ core is stimulated, an explosion large enough to cause the Demon King to self-destruct will occur. Then there is only one way to use it. Dio looked at Paul and slowly approached him. The attack type of Light of Sacrifice is very different from the normal attack ability. In the case of general attack skills, most of them follow the destructive action of inflicting physical shock on the opponent. However, although it is true that the light of sacrifice explodes, it never spreads. The light of sacrifice does not spread, but draws in power like a black hole and causes an explosion at its center. What this means is that if the priest uses the light of sacrifice when the demon king dies. Like a reaction or antimatter, the demon king¡¯s self-destruction and the light of sacrifice cancel each other out and annihilate each other. Kiiiiing ¨C Without even knowing what Dio was doing, Paul¡¯s energy fluctuated more and more violently. ¡°Run away! ¡°You can¡¯t stop that!¡± Dio calmly lowered his head despite Gunther¡¯s call to him and grabbed Paul¡¯s arm, who was unable to move. ¡°It¡¯s already late. Cough! ¡°You¡­die with me now.¡± Paul laughed at Dio and spoke darkly. Paul was confident that the light of sacrifice that had already been cast could never be blocked. ¡°Well¡­¡± Dio sneered as if Paul¡¯s thoughts were wrong. Then, he unleashed all his power into the light of sacrifice and forced the core of Rademos into his limp hand. ¡°What you are trying to do is not a sacrifice. ¡°It¡¯s a dog¡¯s death.¡± ¡°what? ¡°What is this?¡± Paul looked bewildered as he looked at the horrible heart Dio held in his hands. Coogung- Coogung- Whose heart is this? Why is it shaking like it¡¯s alive? ¡°No matter what you do¡­¡± Paul wanted to tell Dio that it was all useless, but he couldn¡¯t continue until the end. This ominous heart in his hand. Because it seemed so dangerous. Paul twisted his body to somehow shake off his heart. The moment when, as Paul had hoped, his heart fell out of Paul¡¯s hands and fell to the floor. ¡°bye.¡± Dio gave Paul a brief greeting and stepped back, and Paul had a hunch. That something was wrong. ¡°Huh¡­ The saintess¡¯s mission is Cough! ¡°I won¡¯t be able to complete it.¡± Tuk- Kiiiiing-!! At the same time as Rademos ¡® core touched the floor, the light of sacrifice that Paul had cast also began to activate. At that moment, Rademos¡¯ core seemed to explode and began to be absorbed into Paul¡¯s body. Puhak-! The Light of Sacrifice attracts things that are dangerous to the caster as a priority. The biggest threat to Paul in this place right now is none other than Rademos¡¯ core. If the light of sacrifice had any power left after absorbing all of Rademos¡¯ power, it would have pulled even Dio. However, the power contained in the heart of the Demon King was by no means weak enough to contain all the light of sacrifice. ¡°Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!¡± Paul¡¯s body swelled and he writhed in pain, every limb twisting. ¡°Saint¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Now, Rademos¡¯ core and the light of sacrifice exploded at the same time inside Paul¡¯s body. But was the Demon King¡¯s power even greater? Kwagwagwagwagwang! Paul¡¯s body eventually could not endure and exploded in a powerful explosion. Still, perhaps because the Light of Sacrifice was effective, the explosion did not affect Dio and Gunther, who had already widened the distance between them. Whioooooooo ¨C The land of the magic world where silence has come after a brief explosion. Gunther, who was surprised by all this, opened his mouth to Dio. ¡°How on earth¡­how did this happen?¡± ¡°I think Kaleyna really wants to kill me.¡± The reason Dio assured that Rademos¡¯ core and the light of sacrifice cancel each other out was because he actually saw this on the Order Board. Paul often used the Light of Sacrifice for the players. At the time, I thought I was really grateful to Paul¡­ ¡®But now we¡¯re enemies, right?¡¯ Dio shook off the useless memories and turned his head to Gunther. ¡°By the way, what brings you here? You must be very busy.¡± As if the fight just now was nothing. Gunther was at a loss for words when Dio just spoke calmly. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 172 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 172Episode 172 Even before Dio and Gunther returned to the party, the party came to Dio first. Despite Dio¡¯s words not to worry, the group arrived at the battlefield with their own weapons. Of course, the situation was already over, so the group was left to rest for an hour. ¡°I said it¡¯s okay. ¡°Nothing happened.¡± ¡°You said you fought with five swords and nothing happened?¡± ¡°To be honest, it was tricky. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Solari¡¯s grace, I might have died.¡± Dio shrugged his shoulders and responded slyly to Sephia¡¯s words. ¡°Ha, you said it was tricky? ¡°If it¡¯s true that I fought the Paul I know¡­¡± Elaine, who knew Paul¡¯s strength, was dumbfounded when she heard Dio¡¯s words. ¡°It is the Paul you think of. ¡°Because I was there too.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Elain frowned at Gunther¡¯s words. Although Elaine hated humans, Gunther was one of the few humans she remembered. An imperial swordmaster with respectable skills who competed on par with Paul in the past. ¡°I¡¯m late to say hello. My name is Gunther. ¡°I am acting as a knight of the empire.¡± ¡°Gunther? Gunther, who is called the strongest knight?¡± ¡°The strongest¡­is still not enough compared to Dio here.¡± Despite Sepia¡¯s surprise, Gunther praised Dio. He wasn¡¯t the type of person to be shy, but having just seen the fight with Paul, he was embarrassed that the word ¡®strongest¡¯ was given to him. ¡°I¡¯m embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯m still not good enough.¡± ¡°Humility that is not appropriate is actually not good for society.¡± ¡°Is that so? Well, as of now, I have no rivals.¡± The companions looked at Dio, who was joking without hesitation, but Gunther laughed out loud. ¡°Hahaha, with your skills, it won¡¯t be a problem to say that.¡± If Gunther¡¯s son Delcid had said that, Gunther would definitely have scolded Delcid. What you have experienced is only inside a well, and the world is wide. But Gunther felt that Dio did not need such advice. On the contrary, Dio¡¯s power and experience were so vast that such advice would be rude. Gunther sincerely admitted that Dio could be confident in his skills, but he couldn¡¯t help but be surprised again by Dio¡¯s next words. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m just joking. I am sincere when I say that it is still not enough. ¡°What are you taking so seriously?¡± Dio¡¯s words were neither humble nor false. ¡®It¡¯s still not enough. At this level, neither the Demon Lord nor Kaleina can be defeated. Ah, you don¡¯t have to worry about the Demon King anymore.¡¯ Dio was not fully grown yet. There were still 50 levels left until maximum level, and the power of faith that Kaleina possessed was also far from sufficient. Dio clearly knew that fighting enemies was foolish unless a sure victory was guaranteed. This is not a game, this is reality. ¡°Yes¡­I can sense your sincerity.¡± Dio¡¯s words were just a struggle to survive, but Gunther, who had no way of knowing this, thought that Dio was amazing and admired him. ¡°Then I guess I should show my sincerity too.¡± ¡°yes? ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Our empire will stand on the side of the newly born Solari.¡± It was not Dio who was surprised by Gunther¡¯s words, but the people listening next to him. Saying that the empire will stand on the same side is not something to be taken lightly. Although Solari is not a newly born god but a god of the past that has been forgotten for a thousand years, that does not mean things are good. There are very few believers who have believed in Solari for over a thousand years. In fact, it was safe to say that Solari was a new religion, as Gunther and others thought. In order for the Solari Church to spread across the continent again, it needs the help of a powerful nation. Building a church or evangelizing also requires a lot of manpower and money. Until now, Duke Bertio¡¯s cooperation has only been providing supplies or helping to gather allied forces. In order to start a cult in earnest, it is actually quite difficult to use Bertio¡¯s power alone. However, if the empire helps in earnest, the story is completely different. Even Bertio, who was called the king of the East, could not compare to the military power and wealth of the imperial family. Moreover, the person who promised to support the empire was Gunteo. Since he notarized and even said that he was sincere, it was in fact a strong alliance between Solari and the Empire. ¡°Is this judgment your own? Or¡­¡± ¡°Of course, His Majesty the Emperor thinks the same. ¡°That¡¯s why I came here.¡± ¡°But hasn¡¯t the Empire maintained peace without conflict with the Luna Church for hundreds of years? If the Emperor declares that he will side with the Solari¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. The emperor will also be fully aware of that and prepare for it. Well¡­I think there will be a lot of backlash, but it can¡¯t be helped. ¡°The empire cannot continue to remain neutral.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio nodded at Gunther¡¯s words. Dio also expected that the reason Gunther came to him was to propose an alliance. If the Empire remains silent in the current conflict between Solari and Luna, the power of the imperial family will still be pushed aside by the power of religion. ¡®We¡¯re allies for now, but what happens after that¡­¡¯ Dio had a rough idea of what the emperor was thinking. They would like to silence the Luna Church, which influences the entire continent, and allow the Empire to take its place. However, in order for that to happen, we will definitely be wary of the growth of the Solari Church, which will take the lead in the downfall of the Luna Church. But Dio didn¡¯t need to worry about that right now. Rather, for that reason, I was able to receive help from the empire with peace of mind. ¡®They say they will definitely help the Luna Church until it falls.¡¯ Dio met Gunther¡¯s serious eyes and raised his hand. ¡°I feel reassured that the Empire is helping me. I hope to go along well.¡± ¡°I am asking you to take care of me.¡± Gunther willingly took Dio¡¯s hand. With this, the alliance between the Solari Church and the Empire was completely established. ¡°Hey¡­¡± Even though she knew that the story Dio and Gunther were talking about was not light, Evelyn opened her mouth hesitantly, wanting to say something. ¡°Then can I enter or leave anywhere in the empire?¡± ¡°hmm?¡± Gunther was puzzled by Evelyn¡¯s unexpected question, but he immediately gave her the answer she wanted. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter where, as long as it¡¯s not the imperial family. ¡°I guarantee your identity, so you can go anywhere freely.¡± ¡°Wow! ¡°They say there are a lot of delicious things to eat and things to see in the Imperial Capital!¡± Because of Evelyn¡¯s status as a witch¡­ or rather, because she was confined to a cave under her teacher¡¯s instructions, the empire did not dare to set foot in her. In fact, Evelyn, who has become as strong as Calliope, would not be subject to inspection by the Empire even if she went into hiding. Still, he seemed thrilled to be able to freely roam the empire. ¡°Is it possible to see the library in the imperial palace?¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s something I need to look into separately¡­¡± ¡°They say the empire has the largest magic academy on the continent! ¡°I have to go there sometime!¡± Roberto pinched her arm as Eveline seemed excited. He was looking at Dio, who had been contemplating something with his arms crossed earlier. Evelyn looked embarrassed and kept her mouth shut so as not to disturb Dio. * * * ¡®The emperor also made a choice. ¡®It¡¯s as I expected.¡¯ This was a very good situation for Dio. This means that there is no need to waste time going to the empire and negotiating with the emperor. ¡®Should this stay in the devil¡¯s eye any longer? Even so for me, I think other kids can grow more.¡¯ Thinking of his group, Dio thought about continuing the demon hunt he had been doing so far, but quickly shook his head. As I first thought, it¡¯s a waste of time. Since Dio himself is the only one who has Solari¡¯s blessing, it would be better for him to grow up a little faster. ¡®It would be right for the other kids to assist and me to carry the picture. Because it¡¯s efficient.¡¯ Dio remembered the reward he received from killing Deathcruger. This is a reward for completing a hidden quest that rewards the absolute value of level up, not experience points. Dio¡¯s level, which he reached after completing the demon hunt, was 450. And now, thanks to defeating Paul alone, he has risen another 7 levels to 457. If you think about the fact that the experience required to level up increases, you can see that the experience required to go up to level 7 is considerable. It means that experience points have been received appropriately for Paul¡¯s reputation and level. ¡®There were a few more things that could be leveled up with absolute value¡­ If I get the chance, I¡¯ll have to turn this route.¡¯ After organizing his thoughts, Dio noticed that the surroundings were quiet and raised his head. Gunther and his companions are staring at him. ¡°Haha, I was thinking about something¡­now that the work is done, let¡¯s return.¡± ¡°okay? Where are you going? ¡°I think it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to stop by the empire.¡± ¡°That would be fine.¡± Dio did not necessarily refuse Gunther¡¯s offer. Although he was promised negotiations with the empire, Dio had a lot of work to do within the empire. Of course, the most important thing was finding a warehouse. ¡°Everyone follow me. ¡°Once you leave the Demon Realm, the best magic corps of the imperial family will be waiting for you, so you will be able to get there easily.¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°¡­Is there a problem?¡± ¡°Are you sure you want to walk to the outside of the Demonic Palace?¡± ¡°hmm?¡± ¡°No, Gunther, wouldn¡¯t you have an artifact that can move through space?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Gunther looked embarrassed at being treated so suddenly. ¡°It can¡¯t be helped. ¡°I have no choice but to wait for Calliope to come.¡± ¡°Who is that?¡± ¡°there is. ¡°The greatest contributor to this expedition.¡± Dio smiled at Gunther, who had a curious look on his face. With Calliope¡¯s magic, you can easily reach the Empire. ¡°Let¡¯s move for now. ¡°I have to go west anyway, so if I go that way, Calliope will find me.¡± Dio slowly set off, leading Gunther and his companions. Now, the business in the magic world is truly over. Deathrugger died, the Demon King¡¯s resurrection was prevented, and Paul was also dealt with. Dio glanced behind him. The small crater where Paul exploded is visible. A perfect finish with no need to confirm or kill. Dio began walking ahead with a lighter heart. * * * The magic mirror is empty after Dio and his companions leave. In the middle of it all, the aftermath of the collision between Rademos¡¯ core and the light of sacrifice remained clearly visible. Paul is definitely dead. Because his body was not strong enough to withstand the Demon King¡¯s core. Shaking ¨C The land of the demon world, which was obviously a small crater with nothing in it, was shaking. The ground is shaking? No, it wasn¡¯t the ground, but the debris from the explosion piled up on the surface was writhing. The debris suddenly gathered together and began to grow in size. Kkul-kul-kul- pounding! A heart formed from debris. It was the core of Rademos that disappeared along with Paul. Thump-thump-thump- Rademos¡¯s heart began to beat more and more, unable to regain its original form. Then the surrounding ground began to tremble again. Saaaaaaa ¨C debris gathering into Rademos¡¯ core. This was not the dust that was the background of the Demonic Sutra, nor was it demon energy. It was Paul¡¯s body that had been shattered into pieces. Coo coo coo coo- The debris began to gather around Rademos¡¯ core and form a human shape. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 173 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 173Episode 173 ¡°Kuh-uh-¡± It wasn¡¯t a sound that could have been made by a human, but it was definitely a human. The core of the Demon King and the Holy Knight who was thought to have self-destructed. He was clearly Paul Eppenhaus. Whioooooo ¨C The ominous wind blowing through the demonic landscape caressed Paul and he let out a groan in pain. ¡°Off¡­¡± The body of the caster who was sacrificed by the light of sacrifice must have disappeared without a trace. Sacrifice is noble. Priests who force themselves to sacrifice themselves have their bodies and minds leave the earth and go to God. It is said that if the divine power is strong, even the dead can be revived. But that is only possible if there is a body that can be saved. Even Descruger, who studied black magic for a thousand years, only gained the ability to be ¡®immortal¡¯ but was never revived. ¡°What on earth is this¡­?¡± Paul himself stuttered, not knowing what was happening to him. His last memory was of unmistakable death. Could it be that Kaleina gave him a favor? No, even if Luna was a saint, it was impossible for her to regenerate her extinct body and be resurrected. Paul felt complicated as he saw that the arm that had been cut off by Dio was also restored. ¡®What happened to my body?¡¯ Paul¡¯s torn body had cracked skin here and there, as if it had been forcibly put together. Paul was very unfamiliar with himself. Thump-thud- Paul felt his heart beating abnormally loudly. No, I didn¡¯t feel it, I actually heard it. The sound of a heart beating vigorously that is not yours. ¡®I have to go to the saint.¡¯ Paul tried to get up, but he couldn¡¯t move easily. Was it because his body felt very unfamiliar, as if it was not his own? No matter how skilled and experienced a paladin Paul was, this would be his first time experiencing revival. ¡°Tsk!¡± Paul sat down with his heart pounding again. My head is so confused. Who am I? What am I doing here? Paul tried to remember what had happened so far. -Go to the magic room right now and find Dio. And try to persuade them to take our denomination¡¯s side. Is Kaleyna¡¯s voice an illusion? -If you cannot appease them, you must kill them. Definitely, even if it means sacrificing your life. A mission given to Paul by Kaleyna. All of these missions failed. Why did it fail? ¡®The guy handed it to me at the last moment¡­¡¯ Paul recalled the terrible-looking, ominous heart that Dio had placed in his hand. It was because of that. The reason why the light of sacrifice he risked his life for failed. [Get up.] A voice other than the saint¡¯s voice sounded in Paul¡¯s head. It was never an illusion. Paul could tell. That the heart Dio gave me is now inside my body. ¡°No way.¡± Only then did Paul notice. The heart that blocked the light of sacrifice. And who is the owner of this heart that resurrected him? [Go to her.] The heart continued to whisper to Paul. And Paul couldn¡¯t resist it. Because the body has already been controlled by the heart of the Demon King. ¡®¡ö¡ö-sama¡­.¡¯ With the last thought of Kaleyna, Paul¡¯s consciousness disappeared. Even though he was clearly unconscious, Paul slowly got up and took a step forward. Something that isn¡¯t Paul . I began to walk alone across the vast land of the demon world. * * * Grump ¨C Kaleina wiped the blood flowing from her nose with her hand. Red blood on her hands, as beautiful as white jade. ¡°Is it a failure?¡­¡± The reason Kaleina was injured was because Luna¡¯s holy relic, which contained her power, was destroyed. The holy relic was held by Paul, the last sword protecting the saint. And the story about the disappearance of the sacred object was the same as saying that Paul had used the ¡®Light of Sacrifice¡¯. ¡®I wanted him to die with me¡­but he¡¯s alive.¡¯ Kaleina quietly closed her eyes and felt her ¡®eyes¡¯ spread across the continent. Luna¡¯s faith spreads throughout the continent. These were Kaleina¡¯s eyes, and thanks to them, she was able to understand the situation on the continent faster than any other country. ¡®Solari¡¯s momentum never stops. No, I¡¯m much stronger than before.¡¯ If Dio, the Great Warrior of the Sun, had died, it would have definitely affected Solari¡¯s faith. However, despite Paul¡¯s use of the Light of Sacrifice, Solari¡¯s faith never weakened and instead burned even hotter. It is as if we will immediately greet the Great Warrior of the Sun who will return from the Demonic Scenery. ¡®I have no choice but to use that power.¡¯ The saintess who was sitting on the chair straightened her back even more. Although the sacred object was destroyed and lost its power, it is insignificant compared to the power lost when the World Tree was destroyed. Fire ¨C A dazzling golden halo appeared behind Kaleyna¡¯s head. The brilliant golden light came together and formed an angelic ring. It was not simply a shape created with light. The angel ring that was just created was clearly in a materialized state that was physically accessible. The ring landed on Kaleyna¡¯s palm and she closed her eyes quietly. As Solari¡¯s status grew, anxiety overtook the Holy Kingdom of Atra. Even Luna¡¯s faithful believers are worried about the growing Solari. Because the moon he believed in would be obscured by the sun. The chaos caused by Solari could no longer be ignored. ¡®To calm the chaos that has come to the Holy Kingdom¡­ we must kill Dio.¡¯ * * * Gunther had an embarrassed expression on his face as he walked behind Dio. It was because of the conversation between Dio and Evelyn, who was complaining among Dio¡¯s group who were endlessly walking around the demonic landscape. ¡°Oh, indeed. ¡°I heard there are all kinds of artifacts in the Empire. Is there even a long-distance teleportation artifact?¡± ¡°It should exist, but it may not be common.¡± ¡°You have a lot of things like that, right? ¡°Isn¡¯t it because of your artifact that Crassus came to visit us?¡± ¡°That too is precious.¡± ¡°When I return, I will ask my teacher to teach me teleportation first. ¡°If it were me now, I would be able to learn ultra-long-distance teleportation spells, right?¡± Evelyn muttered, strengthening her resolve. Although he didn¡¯t say anything to Gunther in their conversation, he felt a pang inside. It sounded as if they were blaming a man who was the sword master of the empire for coming to the Demon World without even preparing that much. ¡®Huh, I never thought I would pay attention to guys who are as old as my son.¡¯ If someone who knew Gunther well saw what he was like now, they would be astonished. In fact, it was true that Gunther was watching Dio and the others. ¡®They may not be as good as Dio, but they all have amazing skills.¡¯ Gunther felt the huge mana felt by Evelyn, who was complaining. Among the incredible imperial court magicians, there was no one with greater magical power than Evelyn. Evelyn was not the only one who felt surprised by Gunther. This woman might be the most outstanding among them, if only considering the amount of mana she possesses. ¡®Did I say sepia¡­ I think I¡¯m still young, but the level I¡¯ve reached is unbelievable. It can¡¯t even be compared to when I saw it before.¡¯ And what about Roberto, who is quietly taking up the rear? The force he possessed was as strong as that of the five-armed sword Galetto, whom he had encountered several times. ¡®I can¡¯t believe that Galletto is dead. Well, Paul also died right in front of my eyes¡­¡¯ Gunther was able to hear some of what happened in the demon world from Dio. The fact that the five swords sent to the Demon Lord tried to kill Dio, and that Dio killed one of them, Galletto, and appeased Elaine. Gunther was more surprised by the fact that Elaine had taken Dio¡¯s side than by the fact that Galletto and Paul were dead. The only elf who cooperates with the Luna Church externally. However, Elaine was famous for her extreme dislike of humans. It was natural for Elaine to be surprised since she did not even listen to the words of the Luna Church members she was cooperating with. ¡®This is my first time seeing the man next to me. ¡®Are you a dark elf?¡¯ Gunther glanced at Crassus, who was walking side by side with Elaine, but immediately turned his gaze straight ahead. This is because I felt threatened for a moment by the unusual energy I felt from Crassus. It was as if he was warning me not to pay attention to myself and Elaine. ¡®Except for Dio, the author might be the strongest. ¡®He¡¯s so strong that it¡¯s a shame that he can¡¯t compete.¡¯ The reason Gunther did not bother Crassus was because he was carrying out the emperor¡¯s orders. It was obvious that Dio would think poorly of him if he decided to fight here for no reason. ¡®What can I do? I have no choice but to wait and see for the time being. With this much power, the Empire will never be defeated by the Luna Church.¡¯ Gunther was relieved that he had formed an alliance with Dio and his group, who were considered the elite of the elite. If they met as enemies, Dio¡¯s group had enough power to pose a threat to the empire. Shush ¨C As Gunther gave a brief evaluation of Dio¡¯s group, a woman appeared in front of them. She was a woman with more dignity and nobility than any other nobleman Gunther had ever seen. Gunther knew right away that she was the witch named Calliope that Dio had mentioned. Beings who can easily use long-distance teleportation are not that common. Gunther swallowed his saliva without realizing it when he felt the wave of mana that was felt when Calliope appeared. ¡°hi. ¡°Is everything done?¡± ¡°yes. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any need to search for demonic beasts anymore.¡± Dio looked around for a moment and pretended to look for someone. ¡°Didn¡¯t Kalphael come with you?¡± ¡°He went back to Temberg. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to do anymore or something.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio was speechless at Kalfael¡¯s actions, which seemed to be just out to play with Demon Lord. Looking at Dio like that, Gunther fell into deep thought. ¡®Who is Kalphael and where is Temberk?¡¯ Gunther¡¯s thoughts became even more complicated when he realized that there were still more people left. The number of talented people gathered here right now is considerable, but this means that his power is not everything. ¡°Then we¡¯ll have no choice but to go on our own.¡± ¡°okay. where should we go?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the imperial capital where Avalon Palace is.¡± Gunther, who came to his senses at the conversation between Calliope and Dio, was startled and hurriedly opened his mouth. ¡°Now wait a moment. ¡°You¡¯re going straight to the ecliptic?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t cooperation with the empire already over? Still, I have to at least pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a thank you, but¡­¡± For some reason, Gunther looked troubled at Dio¡¯s words. As expected, Gunther had not yet reported to the emperor that he had met with Dio and successfully concluded negotiations. If the emperor meets Dio and his group without knowing anything, he will definitely be embarrassed. There was no problem with Dio and his friends, but Gunther¡¯s position was not. Proceeding with work without any specific report to the emperor is an act of ignoring the empire¡¯s command system.

Everyone gather together! ¡°I¡¯ll be there right away!¡± Gunther opened his mouth to persuade Dio, but it was already too late. Since it was not a matter of moving a large number of people, Calliope created a teleportation magic circle in an instant with a brief gesture. ¡°Now wait!¡± Gunther shouted urgently, but Calliope had already gathered mana. Shoo shoo shoo! Just like that, Dio and Gunther¡¯s new form disappeared in an instant. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 174 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 174Episode 174: Avalon Palace. A place where the highest-ranking people on the continent reside. Emperor Freud, whose name is the same as that of the Empire, pressed his throbbing temple. The emperor raised his head and looked at the empire¡¯s strongest sword kneeling before him. ¡°Gunther.¡± ¡°yes. your majesty.¡± Gunther, who knew well why the emperor was worried, silently waited for the emperor to continue. ¡°If you were coming, maybe you should have said something.¡± ¡°¡­I apologize.¡± Gunther¡¯s original plan was to slowly join the Imperial Magic Corps waiting at the border outside the Demon Realm and teleport to the Imperial Capital. Gunther appeases Dio and at the same time uses the artifact to deliver news to the emperor. While escaping from the magic world, the imperial family prepared to welcome Dio and his group, and as soon as preparations were completed, the magic corps attempted to teleport them away. No matter what Dio¡¯s relationship with the empire is, he is the continent¡¯s hero who defeated the Demon Lord. However, all these plans were foiled because there was a powerful wizard who could use long-distance teleportation among Dio¡¯s group. Long-distance teleportation is a high-level magic that a magic ¡®army¡¯ can use by pooling their strength. But that¡¯s because I didn¡¯t know there was a magician who used it alone. ¡°Phew ¨C I don¡¯t blame you. ¡°He is a wizard who freely uses spatial movement within the Demon Realm¡­ I should have noticed this a long time ago.¡± The emperor thought of the Allied forces that had returned first from Ma Jing. That many people moved from the demonic area to Bertio¡¯s territory in an instant. At that time, the Allied forces were all in a half-awake, dazed state, so they did not remember in detail how they moved. ¡®No matter what, the distance between Bertio and the ecliptic must be quite a bit¡­ Are you saying that a greater distance than that was covered in an instant?¡¯ The emperor shook off his thoughts about the powerful wizard and focused again on what had just happened. The reason the emperor was having trouble now was simple. ¡®Solarism¡¯ has become a hot topic among people recently. This is because Dio and his companions, who would stand at the center of the cult, arrived in the middle of the imperial capital without warning. You might be wondering what the problem was with Dio and his group suddenly storming into the imperial capital, but from the empire¡¯s perspective, it wasn¡¯t an issue that could be easily overlooked. ¡®I never thought the rumor would spread so quickly.¡¯ Currently, numerous allied forces who joined Prince Prian in suppressing the Demon Lord were stationed in the imperial capital of the empire. They recognized Dio¡¯s face first when they arrived at the imperial capital, and the rumor quickly spread. It is said that the Great Master of the Solari Church has returned after carrying out the mission of the Demon Lord. Because of this, many people from all over the continent continued to flock to the imperial capital. There are even more people than when the Allied forces returned to the Bertio territory. A person who wants to meet the rumored great warrior. A person who wants to know who the hero who defeated Acrich was. Even people who want to join the Solari Church. The crowds who flocked for all sorts of reasons saturated even the largest ecliptic. ¡®You can¡¯t kick people out.¡¯ This was not something that could be solved by simply kicking out the people who came here. Everyone who came to see Dio expressed their dissatisfaction with the imperial family. A demonic spirit that no one dared to conquer. The hero who led the allied forces and successfully defeated the Demon Lord was none other than Dio. It was natural for the people to be angry because the empire did not provide a proper welcome or victory ceremony for such a hero. However, from the imperial family¡¯s perspective, it is an unfair situation. If they had honestly entered the imperial capital through the main gate, the emperor planned to hold a grand welcome ceremony as the people wanted. Who knew that long-distance teleportation would be used? ¡®Whoa¡­but it¡¯s a shame that it was announced so quickly.¡¯ The authority and status of the emperor are not so weak that the people dare to be dissatisfied. Nevertheless, the reason the emperor is reluctant is because the object of comparison between the empire and the emperor is someone who is praised as a ¡®hero¡¯. The only person who stands above empire and religion. Because that is what is called a ¡®hero¡¯. The emperor, who was aware of this, immediately issued a statement immediately after Dio and his party arrived, and the empire announced this to the entire continent. This means that the Solari Church will be appointed as an official religion and that the Empire will spare no effort in supporting Solari¡¯s revival. Fortunately, the people¡¯s dissatisfaction subsided due to the empire¡¯s attitude of acknowledging Solari, the body of the hero. And now, a day has passed since Dio and his group arrived at the imperial capital. The imperial family was about to hold a banquet to welcome Dio. ¡°your majesty. ¡°All preparations for the banquet are complete.¡± One of the subjects bowed to the emperor and reported the progress of the banquet. The emperor nodded, stood up, and left Avalon Palace with Gunther. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m looking forward to it. ¡°I never thought I would meet someone called a warrior in my lifetime.¡± The Emperor¡¯s heart was pounding and he was surprised at his own feelings. Even though he was old enough, he never expected to become a warrior from legends. ¡°What about you? Do you really think that a person named Dio is worthy of being a warrior?¡± ¡°I guarantee his strength¡­¡± ¡°You will know when you meet him.¡± The emperor waved his hand as if he was satisfied with what Gunther had said. The emperor also had a childhood. Rather than a boring emperor, he admired a warrior who always went on adventures and helped people. A forgotten fantasy of an emperor. Maybe this moment was the moment he had dreamed of. A picture of himself celebrating the birth of a warrior. ¡°His Majesty, the great Emperor of the Freudian Empire, enters!¡± When the emperor and Gunther arrived in front of the banquet hall, the guards with their military discipline in full force opened the banquet hall door and shouted. ¡®Finally¡­¡¯ The emperor¡¯s heart trembled when he saw Dio, whom he had only heard about in stories. I thought that he would definitely captivate the audience with his majestic appearance. Because that is what the emperor always imagined the warrior to be like. With that in mind, as soon as he entered the banquet hall, the hero¡¯s voice reached the emperor¡¯s ears. ¡°everyone! With the Solari, there is nothing to fear.¡± The highest podium installed inside the banquet hall. The emperor could see Dio shouting from the podium. However, it was very different from what I expected. ¡°Who do you think is thanks to us that we are alive and breathing now?¡± ¡°Money and fame are not important! ¡°Photosynthesis is what humans need to live.¡± ¡°The sun gives energy to life. ¡°Without this energy, we would all die.¡± ¡°The energy that makes up our bodies! ¡°It is the sun that gives us this energy.¡± Dio majestically says complicated words. However, Dio did not care about the comments and raised his voice even louder. ¡°There are more than one force currently slandering Solari. ¡°Are you going to just let me take away the warm sunlight from you all?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t do that!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°everyone! With Solari, there is nothing to fear. Let us believe in the sun together!¡± ¡°Solari! Solari!¡± People endlessly shouting for Solari in response to Dio¡¯s speech. Even the nobles who owned large estates among them were shouting passionately. ¡°As of today, Solari is the official religion of our territory!¡± ¡°From now on, any hostility towards the Solari will be considered hostility towards me!¡± When the emperor saw the group of people going crazy as if they were hypnotized, he took his eyes off this absurd sight and looked at Gunther. He made an expression as if he were wondering if that person like the cult leader was really a person called a hero. ¡°Well¡­they said they wouldn¡¯t attend the banquet unless permission was given to carry out missionary work¡­¡± Gunter had no idea that Dio would evangelize so openly. Gunther couldn¡¯t help but trail off his words and look at Dio with resentful eyes. * * * Evelyn was thrilled when she got to experience the imperial family¡¯s huge banquet that she had heard about through rumors. A chandelier that shines so extravagantly that you can¡¯t even look at it. All kinds of delicacies were lined up on the table spread out below. ¡°Wow ¨C what is this?¡± Evelyn didn¡¯t pay the slightest attention to Dio¡¯s speech that deceived people. Evelyn had seen Dio talking incomprehensibly numerous times during his journey. So Evelyn was able to realize. That it would be easier for me not to be interested in D.O. in that state. Right now, it was better for Evelyn to focus on the feast in front of her rather than Dio¡¯s speech. ¡°Mmm!¡± The foods that dazzled Evelyn were desserts full of sweet fragrance. A cake covered in strawberry cream. A contradictory pudding that is soft yet elastic. Even cookies filled with chocolate with just the right amount of sweetness. ¡°So sweet!¡± I put a piece of cake in my mouth and muttered happily to myself. ¡°You should take everything you can.¡± Evelyn tasted the food once and made a promise. Dio¡¯s intention was to take something that suited his taste and put it in a bag called subspace. But I was worried because there were so many delicious things. ¡°This and this¡­¡± Evelyn, not at all mindful that storing food can be quite a tricky task, created her own list. Various cookies that can be stored easily began to be swept into his sleeve pocket. ¡°Wow, there¡¯s ice cream too. Should I freeze this?¡± Evelyn, who was walking around all kinds of tables, stopped in front of various ice creams placed on antique silver cups. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious! Wow, there are so many different colors!¡± S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Evelyn held a spoon in front of the green ice cream and scooped up a large scoop and put it in her mouth. ¡°Yuck! Tsk tsk tsk! what¡¯s this!¡± Evelyn expected the sweetness of ice cream, but the spicy, refreshing mint flavor filled her mouth and she spat it out. The attendant who was delivering food saw Evelyn like that and spoke kindly to her. ¡°This is mint chocolate ice cream, which is popular these days.¡± ¡°You put mint in chocolate? ¡°Why do you do that?¡± ¡°At the request of nobles who love mint, it was specially presented at today¡¯s banquet.¡± ¡°You like this?¡± Evelin finished her explanation and looked at the back of the waiter, who was politely leaving, with a dumbfounded expression. ¡°There are a lot of things in the world that I don¡¯t understand.¡± Evelin took note in her memory. Just because it¡¯s imperial food doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s necessarily delicious. * * * While Evelyn was wandering around in dire straits, Roberto was in the most awkward situation among Dio¡¯s group. ¡°My name is Fran, the eldest daughter of Count Amuller.¡± ¡°Oh yeah.¡± ¡°It is an honor to meet Roberto like this. ¡°As rumored, he is very handsome.¡± ¡°Oh my¡­ how happy I am¡­¡± ¡°Our Premier Viscount also joined us on the eastern expedition, do you remember? My brother told me a story about Roberto¡­¡± ¡°Hey. ¡°I¡¯m talking first, right?¡± ¡°What do you mean? ¡°You were the one who intervened late?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Roberto simply answered. However, Roberto could not help but feel burdened by the war of nerves among the daughters of prestigious noble families gathered around him. Roberto, who remembered the nightmare that happened in Oaks Village again, just sipped champagne, ignoring the ladies. When I approached Evelyn, I was reluctant to be seen as part of her group due to her ugly behavior. However, Roberto¡¯s actions made the ladies exclaim in admiration. ¡°How¡­it looks like a painting.¡± ¡°Please tell me the story of defeating the demonic beasts.¡± ¡°Can you visit my family sometime?¡± ¡°I have the intention of abandoning my entire family and running away for love¡­¡± At the renewed interest from the ladies, Roberto sighed and looked at Dio in the distance. Roberto did not want to participate in the banquet, but was forced to attend due to Dio¡¯s orders. It was to let people know the faces of the party since they plan to join the great power of the empire in the future. Of course, Dio¡¯s idea was effective. At least all the ladies who participated in the banquet expressed interest in Roberto. Anyway, since Dio said something, Roberto forces himself to hang out with the ladies, thinking it¡¯s work. Dio, whether aware of Roberto¡¯s hardships or not, was still continuing his pseudo-missionary activities toward people. ¡°For the Solari!¡± ¡°for!¡± ¡°Long live the sun!¡± ¡°hurray!¡± Along with Dio¡¯s shout, Solari¡¯s praise rang loudly in the banquet hall again. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 175 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 175Episode 175 Sepia brought water to Dio, who was sitting and resting, and sat next to him. ¡°How did the rumor spread that so many people are excited about it?¡± ¡°Why? ¡°They probably think we are the heroes who prevented the resurrection of the Demon King.¡± ¡°Still¡­ isn¡¯t it strange that you take Dio¡¯s words literally? It¡¯s like group hypnosis¡­¡± ¡°Uh-huh. ¡°Hypnosis.¡± Dio denied Sepia¡¯s words. To be honest, what Sepia said wasn¡¯t entirely wrong. A hidden quest to save the East by purifying Lennon, who has become a demon. The reward of a significant increase in the friendliness of those who value honor shined even now. Most of the nobles on the Order Board considered the dignity of honor to be important. However, since he could not explain this to Sepia, Dio just passed her words over. ¡®Well, I guess it¡¯s not just because of that.¡¯ Even if it wasn¡¯t a hidden quest, according to Dio¡¯s memory of the scenario¡¯s progress, the player¡¯s reputation would spread widely throughout the continent at this point. In the end, the main scenario given to the player was to fight against the evil that was stalking the continent. ¡®Since the expedition was completed, the frequency of monsters appearing on the continent has decreased¡­ so they must believe that I am a hero.¡¯ Without even having to check, Dio could tell that people who suffered from the frequent appearances of demonic beasts were praising Dio. This is a situation that players have no choice but to experience on the order board. ¡®Anyway, the speech wasn¡¯t bad. Now all they have to do is spread the story they heard from me.¡¯ Although Dio carried out missionary work to the nobles gathered at the banquet, the actual increase in the number of believers was not that large. The number of people who participated in the banquet was in the hundreds. However, those gathered here are people who fly and crawl even within the continent. Dio was confident that if they returned to their respective territories and spread the doctrine of Solari, the number of believers would definitely increase exponentially. ¡®I¡¯m glad the emperor wasn¡¯t too strict.¡¯ Dio was not just focusing on missionary work here and there. No matter how important it is to increase the number of believers, Gunther and the emperor cannot be ignored. However, the conversation with the emperor ended briefly. This was because the current atmosphere of the banquet hall was not suitable for having a serious conversation with the emperor. So Dio politely asked that we postpone the serious conversation until later. The relationship with the emperor was important, but it was inevitable because the number one thing to gain from this place was to increase the number of believers. The emperor had a complicated expression, but fortunately he did not refuse Dio¡¯s request. This was one of the things Dio fully expected. Because Dio clearly knows information about the emperor. Among the order board NPCs that Dio knows, one cannot leave out Emperor Freud as the person with the highest knowledge. The current emperor knows. This means that the convenience of Dio, who is hailed as a hero, should be tolerated as much as possible. As long as Dio doesn¡¯t displease the Emperor, the Emperor will look after Dio. Because the Emperor¡¯s attitude toward players on the Order Board has always been like this. Besides, if you say honor, it¡¯s emperor. If you say emperor, isn¡¯t it honor? It must have had a big effect on the goodwill. Anyway, the emperor and Dio finished their conversation briefly, and many nobles also bowed down to impress Dio. Among them were nobles who treated the players with all kinds of abuse. ¡®After all, the reputation must be high.¡¯ When a player¡¯s reputation exceeds a certain level, they are called a ¡®hero¡¯. What D.O has done so far and numerous rumors. And through Solari¡¯s power, Dio¡¯s reputation has risen to the point where he can be called a ¡®hero¡¯. A player who is worthy of being called a hero does not have to worry about anyone. Because the title of hero had a higher status than any other king or religion. ¡°Leader!¡± Just as Dio was about to get up after finishing his business at the banquet hall, he heard a familiar voice calling him. ¡°A long time. Artes.¡± ¡°It¡¯s Jack.¡± ¡°Did you change your name at all?¡± ¡°I¡¯m thinking about doing that.¡± Ates grinned at Dio¡¯s words. From Ates¡¯ perspective, the journey he went through with Dio was definitely something to be proud of. Even without asking, it seemed like Artes was already talking about it here and there. This is the story of Jack¡¯s adventures with the warrior Dio. ¡°I took the lead in publicizing the leader¡¯s achievements.¡± ¡°okay? Could it be that you were waiting for us in the ecliptic the whole time?¡± ¡°sure! While I was waiting, I evangelized the Solari Church, which would become huge in the future. ¡°I think I¡¯ve already eaten the eastern part.¡± Artes said proudly and Dio could see why his reputation had grown beyond what he had thought. I forgot about it for a while, but Ates¡¯ influence also had a significant influence. Even though he showed off his ugly side in one way or another, wasn¡¯t Ates the official successor to the dukedom? ¡°Good job.¡± Ates rubbed his nose as if he was embarrassed by Dio¡¯s praise. ¡°But is that story true?¡± ¡°What story?¡± ¡°The story is that the Five Swords converted to the Solari Church.¡± ¡°Oh, Elaine?¡± ¡°yes. High elf Elaine. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a joke just now?¡± Artes said, looking at Dio with eyes full of interest. A high elf who serves as a Heretic Inquisitor under the Luna Church. Her specialness was already very famous among people. Everyone already knows that Elaine joined the Eastern Alliance. Ates also saw Elaine taking the lead in defeating the demonic beasts. However, the reason Elaine turned to Dio¡¯s side happened after the Allied Forces returned from the Demon World. Artes couldn¡¯t believe that Elaine, who had shown a harsh attitude in front of Prince Prian, was on Dio¡¯s side, so he asked this to confirm. ¡°It¡¯s okay to call it a conversion, but¡­ it¡¯s true that he joined our side.¡± The world tree that the elves believed in was not Luna or Solari, but it was safe to say that the current Elaine, who was bound by the oath of liberation, was a believer of Solari. ¡°As expected, you are the captain. The kind of wit that can appease even an elf! ¡°I want to emulate that.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t really persuade you with words.¡± ¡°But where is Elaine? ¡°Oh, you didn¡¯t attend the banquet on purpose?¡± I thought that if it was the Elaine that Ates remembered, she would not be that interested in the banquet hall where humans gathered. And Ates¡¯s thoughts were clearly correct. However, that is not the only reason why Elaine is not present. ¡°Elain has gone to her hometown now.¡± ¡°Hometown? If it is the home of the elves¡­¡± * * * Pandea, the forest of the elves. Pandea was a place called the sanctuary of the elves. Where the roots of the World Tree once began. However, now that the World Tree has been destroyed, it is a space where the elves live in memory of the World Tree. ¡°Is that true? ¡°Sister?¡± In a gathering of numerous elves, a high elf dressed in a white robe asked his compatriot who had returned from a long journey. ¡°Really. ¡°You all know why I left the elven forest.¡± Elaine looked around at the elves surrounding her and opened her mouth. The reason she left the forest and cooperated with the Luna Church was because of the World Tree. The elves wanted the world tree to bloom again, and the Luna Church cooperated with this. So, on behalf of the elves, Elaine provided help to the Luna Church. ¡°Our desire to revive the World Tree. The Luna Church has used it from the beginning.¡± A crater with traces of Nidhogg¡¯s explosion. At the center, Elaine told the elves the truth that Dio had told her. The world tree that the elves are trying to revive has already been corrupted by Luna. And the fact that the Luna Church is trying to use this to make the elves their limbs. ¡°That¡¯s ridiculous!¡± ¡°The world tree is polluted!¡± ¡°Then we¡­¡± At first, the elves denied Elaine¡¯s words. It was difficult for the elves to accept the fact that the World Tree had been corrupted rather than the fact that the Luna Church had used a vicious trick. ¡°Remember! The actions we took to revive the World Tree. ¡°How much blood did we shed among our own people because we were bewitched by the words of the Luna Church?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Elain¡¯s words shook the elves. However, no one disputed that what she said was false. The corrupted world tree that brainwashed the elves has now been completely destroyed. The elves accepted Elaine¡¯s persuasion. The fact that they were deceived and abandoned their own people, called dark elves. ¡°The World Tree¡¯s wind does not resurrect the fallen self. The World Tree just wants us to survive. This means that we can no longer look only at the world tree and fight among our own people.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°So what should we do now? We have been living for revenge to save the World Tree¡­¡± At the words of one elf, Elaine took out a red headband from her belt. This was not just a headband. It was a legendary artifact given by Dio. Elaine was reluctant to wear this headband, but she remembered what Dio had said to her. -Wear this if the elves don¡¯t seem to be easily persuaded. -What is this? -What is it? It¡¯s an item with a persuasive option. Even if it looks like this, it¡¯s legendary. -?? Elaine did not fully understand Dio¡¯s words. But for some reason, Elaine trusted Dio. A person who rescued himself from the swamp of hatred. A human who brought back a blood relative who had completely left. Because it was the words of a human willing to take revenge on his behalf. ¡°I¡¯m not saying you shouldn¡¯t take revenge! ¡°We must punish the Luna Church!¡± The eyes of the elves changed at the sight of Elaine wearing the headband. They also realized what Elaine said. Who is the main enemy of the elves now? ¡°Dark elves will fight with us too!¡± ¡°Oooooh!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s show the moon that corrupted the World Tree. ¡°Our wrath!¡± ¡°Wrath!¡± The elves repeating their names according to Elaine¡¯s speech. The elves who escaped from the corrupted World Tree were assimilated by Elaine¡¯s anger. ¡°Judgement on the moon that deceived us!¡± ¡°Judgment!¡± ¡°Unite!¡± ¡°cohesion! cohesion!¡± ¡°Never take revenge! Never war!¡± * * * [Current number of followers of Solari: 99821] Dio, who was resting alone in his room after the banquet, opened the system window and was happily watching the number of believers continue to rise. ¡®About 1,000 people climbed up at once. It looks like Elaine is doing well.¡¯ Dio smiled as he thought of Elaine, who would be carrying out her duties in the elf forest by now. What the elves want is revenge on the Luna Church. For this purpose, they would definitely force themselves to believe in Solari, so it was natural for them to be measured as followers of Solari. ¡®I can rest comfortably for a while.¡¯ Dio lay down comfortably on the bed and relieved the fatigue he had accumulated so far. The emperor had requested that he attend the welcoming party tomorrow, and Dio had no intention of leaving the empire for the time being. Unless Kaleina goes crazy, there¡¯s no way they¡¯d attack to kill Dio in the imperial palace. [Current followers of Solari: 99903] For Dio, who had nothing else to do during his break, watching the number of believers increase was the only entertainment he had. As the number of believers increased, it meant that he became stronger, so it was a fun Dio just to watch. ¡®It¡¯s truly a dog-killing skill. ¡®It will soon be 100,000?¡¯ Dio smiled as he watched the number of believers continue to rise. 99989¡­99995¡­. Dio looked at the changing numbers from time to time, and the moment the number reached exactly 100,000. Woe! [D.O. Can you hear me?] ¡°!!¡± A voice coming from inside my head. Dio knew who this voice was. ¡°Solari?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 176 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 176Episode 176: When Dio was swimming in an unfamiliar world, there were many unexpected people that he had not experienced on the Order Board. Sepia inevitably faces death. Seven stars, including Ludens, who live by lying about their identity as vampire lords. Dio was able to see what these unexpected characters had in common. There is always a special presence behind them. That special being is none other than Solari, the sun god who has been forgotten for a thousand years. [Long time no see. Dio.] Hearing Solari¡¯s voice again, Dio got up from the bed. Solari¡¯s murals deep in Temberg. Dio recalled the conversation he had with Solari in the flower garden hidden behind the mural. Before saying goodbye to Dio, Solari made one promise, saying that she would no longer be at the flower garden. -I promise that I will always be by your side. Through the Hidden Quest, Dio realized that it was thanks to Solari that he was able to have a skill called the Power of Faith. ¡°It wasn¡¯t just empty words.¡± Dio opened his hands. Even though it did not draw the power of the sun, a faintly glowing cluster of light surrounded Dio¡¯s hand. Dio could faintly feel the power of Solari. [D.I.O. Thanks to your hard work, I was able to regain a lot of my strength. It probably means that faith in me is spreading quickly.] As people¡¯s faith in God grows, God¡¯s power also becomes stronger. Dio also knew this fact, so he nodded. The reason the Luna Church had a power that even the Empire could not overcome was because of the people¡¯s faith. ¡°There is still a long way to go before we can deal with Luna.¡± [You will do well. Because your words have the power to lead people.] ¡°¡­.¡± Dio felt embarrassed for some reason at Solari¡¯s words. It was a missionary activity, but in reality, Dio was closer to deceiving people by leveraging the power of the system. And these actions are not done because one truly believes in Solari. The only way to survive was to borrow the power of Solari to become even stronger. Solari seemed to know this too. He must have been watching Dio¡¯s missionary activities from the sidelines. Dio could sense that Solari truly hoped for his safety. So I decided to become even more shameless after getting caught. ¡°Then why are you talking to me? ¡°Maybe you can compensate me for this¡­¡± What Dio said about this incident was simple. The number of believers in Solari has reached 100,000. I didn¡¯t expect it, but thanks to him, Dio became stronger, and Solari regained her strength enough to talk to me like this. So Dio secretly looked forward to it. I thought Solari had come to give me some kind of reward, whether it was a new skill or added stats. [I¡¯m sorry. D.I.O. [My strength has not recovered enough to give you new strength.] ¡°There is nothing I can be more sorry about.¡± Dio was embarrassed by Solari¡¯s sincere apology and cleared his throat. [Although only a little bit of communication is possible now, don¡¯t worry too much.] Solari continued speaking as if she understood Dio¡¯s disappointed feelings. [When I regain my power, that power will be completely passed on to Dio. You are¡­ the Great Warrior of the Sun.] Dio could not see Solari¡¯s appearance, but he could tell through her voice. Solari was smiling to reassure herself. But that warm feeling was short-lived. I could feel the worry in Solari¡¯s voice. [The reason I appear before you now is to deliver a warning.] ¡°Warning?¡± Solari¡¯s voice became serious. D.O. was complacent and filled his head with only thoughts about compensation. Solari¡¯s warning, delivered unexpectedly to Dio, was enough to make him anxious. This is D.O., who has completed the job well without any problems so far. With the help of Duke Bertio, he successfully subdued the Deathcruger, a member of the Demon King¡¯s tribe and called Pentagram by players. And through this achievement, he made Solari, who had been forgotten by people, known to the world and regained her power. That¡¯s all. We were able to stop the resurrection of the Demon King, which was originally impossible. The task Solari initially gave Dio was to deal with the Demon King and Luna at the same time. But one of them was dealt with in advance. There is no better situation for Dio than now¡­. [History is about to repeat itself again.] A warning from the sun, which the moon was once jealous of. [Beware of Luna¡¯s saint. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡­did not die.] * * * Turp-Trub- The most sacred place in the Holy Kingdom of Atra. A person¡¯s footsteps echoed through the corridors of the cathedral leading to Saint Hall. The priest¡¯s robes he was wearing were so frayed that even the cleanest parts could not be seen, and he was even walking with bare feet covered in scars. Normally, someone wearing such an unsightly outfit would not even be able to enter this sacred cathedral. Nevertheless, there was only one reason why the priests and paladins of the cathedral let him pass. Because he was none other than Archbishop Paul Eppenhaus of Atra. The priests in the cathedral thought that Paul had returned from his mission as a saint. But they didn¡¯t dare talk to Paul. This was because it could be seen from the clothes Paul was wearing that the mission he was given did not go well. ¡°¡­.¡± Paul, who was trudging forward, stopped in front of St. Hall. A large door with the moon and cross symbols symbolizing Luna engraved on it. Paul bowed his head and waited in front of St. Hall in silence. Squeak ¨C The huge doors of the Saint Hall began to open of their own accord, as if they were waiting for Paul. Paul still had his head down even though the door was open. Trap, plod, Paul walked forward again, leading his dirty bare feet through the wide open door. Every time he walked, blood-stained footprints were embroidered in the hallway. Squeak ¨C As soon as Paul entered the St. Hall, the wide open door began to slowly close again. Paul didn¡¯t move until the door was completely closed. Is it because she failed her mission as a saint and is in disgrace? Paul bowed his head and waited without making the slightest move. Coogung! Eventually, only after the door to St. Hall was completely closed did Paul raise his head. That moment. Pajijijijik-kwagwagwang! A sacred spear with intense sparks pierced Paul¡¯s chest. Quack! The shining spear did not just pierce Paul¡¯s body. The powerful divine power emanating from the spear that pierced Paul grabbed Paul¡¯s entire body and pulled him into the giant door of the Saint Hall. ¡°Who are you?¡± A noble voice echoes from the high ceiling of St. Hall. Saint Kaleina, who is said to be the master of the Luna Church in name and reality, opened her mouth to the captive Paul. ¡°¡­.¡± Paul, who was held by the sacred spear, faced the gaze of Kaleyna looking down at him from the high platform. Although Paul was clearly pierced by a spear, his expression did not change at all, as if he did not feel any pain. Kaleyna¡¯s pretty forehead frowned at that sight. ¡°How dare you place this¡­¡± Kaleina, filled with anger, slowly stepped down to the foot of the platform. She realized long ago that Paul, who entered Atra Cathedral, was not real. Because Paul Eppenhaus, who is connected to his power and the holy relic, is definitely dead. So, without any hesitation, Kaleina used the sacred spear towards Paul¡¯s heart. ¡®Ardvar¡¯, one of Luna¡¯s relics. No one would be able to guarantee their life if they were captured by Ardvar. But for some reason, that unidentified being disguised as Paul never succumbed to Ardvar¡¯s power. ¡®That can¡¯t be¡­!¡¯ By then, Kaleina could feel it through Ardvar. The pitch-black darkness felt in the body of a man who could no longer be considered human. Heart pounding ¨C what the saintly woman heard in her ears was not an illusion. Kaleina stiffened for a moment at the sound coming from Paul¡¯s heart, which must have penetrated Ardvar. [Ah¡­what a strength I miss.] The whites of Paul¡¯s eyes were completely stained black.

This voice was a voice coming from the heart of Rademos. [Child of the Moon. You know who I am, right?] ¡°¡­.¡± Kaleina said silently, ¡°No, Paul.¡± I looked down at Rademos. What was in front of her now was without a doubt the Demon Lord. A demon lord whose resurrection was not completely successful. Kaleina does not know why he is here in such an imperfect state. However, there was only one thing that came to Kaleyna¡¯s mind as she faced Rademos. [I think I have something to say, but I guess I¡¯m not in the wrong place, right?] Rademos¡¯ voice speaks as if he knows Kaleyna¡¯s feelings. In response, Kaleina maintained her composure and opened her mouth. ¡°The sun is rising again. ¡°I must block the sun at all costs.¡± [Why? The sun is like the hope that protects everyone¡­ the only one who can stand against the evil called ¡®me¡¯-] ¡°Bullshit!¡± Kaleyna¡¯s anger as she cut off Rademos¡¯ voice echoed through the Saint Hall. ¡°If the sun appeared now, it would only cause confusion. ¡°For the sake of the moon and the world, the sun must be forgotten from people¡¯s memories.¡± [Hoo- So what do you want to say to me?] ¡°Let¡¯s hold hands with me. ¡°I will help you regain your strength.¡± [Khahaha!] Rademos¡¯s laughter echoed in the Saint Hall again at Kaleyna¡¯s suggestion. [The words, ¡°Join hands with me to kill the sun.¡± I heard what you said a thousand years ago. Directly from Luna.] ¡°¡­.¡± [The moon is trying to deceive me once again.] Rademos laughed at Kaleyna. How absurd this is. Those words that say that they are jealous of the hope that the sun will bring and join hands with darkness. Even for a demon king whose power is not at its full potential. [You will help me regain my strength? Foolish moon. I¡¯m not the one who needs help right now, right?] ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡± Kaleyna responded calmly to Rademos¡¯ words. However, Rademos only laughed at Kaleyna¡¯s attitude even more. [Desperation, fear, and nervousness.] Rademos began to mention one by one what Kaleina was feeling right now. Nevertheless, Kaleina still maintained her composure. Because she is the moon saint. You must never become distracted in front of anyone. Push Sisik ¨C The black fog spewing from the heart of Rademos began to rise over Ardvar. The black smoke seemed to be manifesting Rademos. Rademos¡¯ voice was heard again in the smoke. [You are afraid now. I am afraid that the awakened sun will once again cover the moon.] Smoke containing the power of Rademos began to spread throughout the Saint Hall. Darkness came to the sacred Saint Hall. Rademos¡¯ voice now began to enter Kaleyna¡¯s head rather than her ears. [That¡¯s fun. It¡¯s really fun.] Rademos¡¯ voice rings in Kaleyna¡¯s head. Eventually, Rademos spoke to Kaleyna in a whisper. As if handing over sweet candy. [good night. I will help you achieve the downfall of the sun you so desperately wish for. [Just like that time a thousand years ago.] If the moon and darkness join hands, they can definitely extinguish the light of the sun. But Rademos never forgot. The cunning of the moon that destroyed the sun and betrayed the devil. Nevertheless, he willingly took the Moon Saint¡¯s hand. Because it will be different from last time. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 177 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 177Episode 177 : The new morning that came to the Empire brought something special to the people in the imperial capital. This was because the official ceremony to welcome the hero who returned from the Demon World began in earnest today. There was a huge crowd of people who came after hearing the news. Half of them were waving small flags the size of their palms. The symbol drawn on the flag is none other than the sun. The circle carved on a white background and the flames surrounding it were the unmistakable sign of Solari. ¡°Solari! Solari!¡± ¡°Mom, look over there! ¡°It¡¯s Daejeon Temple!¡± ¡°Sun God!¡± The cheers of the countless people gathered in the main plaza echoed across the dazzling sky. As if hoping to reach Solari in the sky. Dio and his party were standing on a high platform installed in the main plaza, and in front of them, the emperor was awarding merits for the eastern expedition. Merits bestowed directly by the emperor of an empire are valuable simply by their existence. The people once again cheered and stretched out their hands toward the great warrior of Solari, whom the Emperor had acknowledged. The reason they were so enthusiastic was simple. Because the mythical hero I always had in my heart appeared before my eyes. It was the imperial guards who were embarrassed by the intense heat they gave off. No matter how hard the guards tried to stop people trying to get closer to Dio and his companions, they were gradually pushed back. ¡°Daejeonsa saw me! ¡°You were looking at me!¡± ¡°Me too, me too! He turned his head and looked straight into my eyes!¡± ¡°You chose me! ¡°You recognized my true faith!¡± ¡°Aaaah! ¡°Mr. Roberto!¡± ¡°I am willing to sacrifice this life for the Sun God!¡± Were Dio¡¯s missionary activities too excessive? Among the audience, there were many people who seemed a little crazy. They called out the names of not only Dio but also Sepia Evelyn Roberto and shouted loudly that a true warrior party had appeared. * * * ¡°Isn¡¯t it rather scary to be welcomed this much?¡± ¡°What do you think? ¡°It¡¯s much better than cursing.¡± After completing their morning schedule, Dio and his companions took a breather in the residence provided by the emperor. The place they stay is a mansion right next to Avalon Palace, where the emperor resides. While Dio and his party were here, they were served by the imperial maids and enjoyed a luxury they had never experienced before. ¡°Is this the end of our morning schedule?¡± ¡°Yes, but I have plans to dine with prominent families at Avalon Palace starting from lunch. And there will be a laurel wreath awarding ceremony afterwards.¡± Dio knows without Sepia having to explain it. The fact is that the welcoming party hosted by the emperor lasts all day. For Dio, a modern man, these noble events are truly tiring. Nevertheless, the reason Dio persevered and adjusted his schedule to the emperor¡¯s schedule was because all of this was helpful to him. ¡®Just this morning, the number rose to nearly 10,000.¡¯ Although this was all just a show-off welcome party, the effect it had on attracting Solari¡¯s followers was outstanding. Dio could wave to people all day long to recruit Solari¡¯s followers. As the number of believers increases, you also become stronger. ¡®But there¡¯s still time until lunch. Then¡­¡¯ Dio originally planned to stop by the warehouse after the welcoming party was over. Considering the crowds gathered in the main plaza, it would be more convenient to move after a few people have left. But now my thoughts have changed. Whether he went to the warehouse now or later, it was clear that Dio would attract people¡¯s attention. There was almost no one in the empire who did not know Dio¡¯s face. Rather, it would have been better to take advantage of the crowds and quickly go to the warehouse while hiding with Evelyn¡¯s magic. ¡°Where is Evelyn now?¡± ¡°A restaurant. He said he ran out of sugar¡­¡± ¡°No, isn¡¯t he hungry?¡± In response to Sepia, Dio slowly stood up. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I have some business to do for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon so I¡¯m resting.¡± Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As I was thinking about it, I was thinking of going to the warehouse quickly. The clothes the emperor gave me now are too flashy, so I change into normal clothes. Additionally, if Evelyn¡¯s magic was used to deceive her appearance, no one would know even if she walked around the square. * * * ¡°Wow ¨C how about Sepia?¡± ¡°Fit well. ¡°I guess you¡¯re an archmage like Calliope now?¡± ¡°Hehe really?¡± Dio and his group, all gathered in one room, were expressing their admiration for the new equipment without noticing the passage of time. Distribution of warehouse items planned from the time Dio arrived in the empire. Since there was some free time, Dio moved right away. As planned, I quickly left the mansion using Evelyn¡¯s perception-impairing magic and wearing normal clothes. There was no need to obtain permission from the emperor. With Dio¡¯s ability now, it would be very easy to avoid the imperial security and stop by the warehouse for a short time. ¡®I was really crazy about the order board, too.¡¯ Dio was impressed by the sight of Evelyn and Sepia dressed up in fancy clothes. The equipment they were currently wearing was all level 400 or higher, and the minimum level was a legendary item. Just by reaching level 400 on the order board, you are treated as a dead person. Moreover, Dio, who had collected the highest level items suitable for level 400 in each set, was one of the stagnant items. It was a moment when Dio himself realized it. This is how hard he worked on the order board. ¡°I feel like I can move up to six or seven shadows right now!¡± Evelyn ran around like a child, holding on to the cone-shaped hat that gave off the feel of a witch. The black shawl draped over her shoulders fluttered every time Evelyn ran, and a soft light twinkled around it. That effect isn¡¯t just a decoration to make things look cool. This meant that Evelyn¡¯s entire body was covered with the ¡®Blessing of Mana¡¯, a jet black set option that can be worn at level 410. ¡®Intelligence stat increased by 45% due to set effect. It also has 200% mana recovery and expanded vision.¡¯ The protection wrapped in the jet black snake set has its own defense power equivalent to that of the warrior class armor. In addition, ¡®Mana Silk¡¯, which is included in the production of the Black Knight, basically increases mana sensitivity. The higher the sensitivity, the more you can see things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. This means that Evelyn¡¯s current abilities have increased to the point where they are no different from Calliope of the Seven Stars. Of course, there would be a difference in terms of experience, but that was Evelyn¡¯s responsibility. ¡°How about yours? ¡°It¡¯s not uncomfortable, right?¡± Dio asked Roberto, who was carefully examining the equipment he was wearing next to him. ¡°Not at all. It¡¯s really amazing. ¡°It looks quite heavy, but it¡¯s not heavy at all.¡± A set of iron blood armor, level 400 equipment given to Roberto. The jet black armor given to Evelyn is equipment that any wizard class can wear, but the conditions for the ¡®iron blood armor set¡¯ were a little more stringent. This item can only be worn by classes that have learned blood magic. There was no equipment in Dio¡¯s warehouse that suited Roberto better than this. ¡®A set effect that doubles all blood magic. Plus, it has its own blood-sucking effect.¡¯ The iron and blood armor Roberto wore flashed like full plate armor. However, unlike typical plate armor, there was blood red in its silver luster. ¡°Maybe the reason you don¡¯t feel heavy is because you¡¯re strong?¡± ¡°Maybe so. But it¡¯s a little different from that. ¡°I feel like I can move faster than usual now.¡± As Roberto moved his body lightly and said exactly what he felt, Dio nodded. ¡®In addition to the strength bonus, iron-blooded armor also has an agility bonus. It may be a little bit, but since Roberto has a good sense, he must have felt it right away.¡¯ Dio sensed that Roberto¡¯s fighting power had reached Galleto¡¯s level. ¡°Sepia is also very pretty! ¡°After all, she is a saint of our Solari!¡± ¡°It¡¯s my first time wearing such pretty clothes¡­¡± Sepia smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed, at Evelyn¡¯s compliment. Sudan covered in wavy silk. Like Roberto, it was a Sky Silk set, a level 420 equipment with the restriction of being exclusive to the priest class. ¡®When I wore it, it felt a little more spacious.¡¯ The sky silk set that Sepia was currently wearing was narrower overall than when Dio wore it. All of Dio¡¯s items given to the group so far were automatically dressed according to the size of the group. This only happened with Dio¡¯s items. The party believed this to be the power of Solari. In reality, it was the power of the system. Because of this, all of the equipment Dio wore did not feel awkward at all when his companions wore them. No, in fact, it looked more luxurious when the group wore it than when Dio wore it. ¡°Dio¡¯s equipment doesn¡¯t look ordinary either. ¡°What on earth is it made of?¡± Roberto looked with interest at Dio¡¯s equipment, which was watching the group. The light armor didn¡¯t seem that special. However, the platinum color reflected on the shoulder decorations, including the shoulder straps, was unusual. ¡°¡­is that really made of mithril?¡± Roberto noticed that Dio¡¯s equipment contained an abundance of magical power. A mysterious metal that is said to contain magical power. In fact, on the order board, Mithril equipment is classified as the highest level. However, Dio¡¯s equipment is not satisfactory with ¡®mere¡¯ mithril. ¡°Yongrin.¡± ¡°yes?¡± Roberto questioned Dio¡¯s words as if he had misheard. Dio spoke to Roberto once again. ¡°It¡¯s made from Yongrin.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s Yongrin¡­oh my god, you mean dragon scales!?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°I thought dragons were creatures that only appeared in mythology¡­¡± ¡°Haha, dragons are alive here somewhere.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± After finishing the question and answer with Roberto, Dio looked at his proud equipment. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Platinum Yongrin Light Armor] Grade: Myth Classification: Armor Level limit: 450 Defense: 160 Magic defense: 160 Property resistance: 200 Special effects: All stats +5% 2 Set effect: All stats +5% 4-set effect: All stats +5% 6-set effect: All stats +10% ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The best material on the order board is Yongrin. cannot be left out. Dragon scales. The Platinum Yongrin set was an order final set item made from the scales of a mythical dragon, and it was equipment that Dio could barely make. This is because I was barely able to make one part of the Platinum Yongrin set while raising one character to max level. In other words, only users who have at least 6 characters at max level on the order board can have the Platinum Yongrin set. ¡®If I were to use the blessing of the sun¡­¡¯ Dio planned to strengthen all the equipment items taken from the warehouse with the blessing of the sun. Since you can only strengthen two items a week, you will have to work diligently, but as long as you can get stronger, you can wait as long as you want. Anyway, Dio is currently focusing on increasing the number of believers rather than hunting, so if there are no problems, he will be able to strengthen everything. ¡®At this level, I wouldn¡¯t have to worry about dealing with Kaleina.¡¯ Dio was confident that if the power of faith was applied to the strengthened Platinum Yongrin set, he would be able to easily defeat Kaleina. Of course, Dio¡¯s enemy is not Kaleina alone, so it is not without variables. Just as Dio was trying to recall Solari¡¯s warning, there was a knock on the door. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 178 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 178Episode 178 ¡°I¡¯m happy to see you resting comfortably.¡± ¡°you¡¯re welcome. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the prince.¡± The person who came to Dio was the 3rd prince, Prian. We talked briefly at the banquet yesterday, but Dio was so busy with the imperial family¡¯s schedule that we didn¡¯t have time to talk properly. Prian opened his mouth, holding Dio¡¯s hand and shaking it as if he were meeting a close friend whom he had not seen in a long time. ¡°What could I have done? ¡°It is true that thanks to you, the Allied Forces succeeded in subjugating without major losses.¡± ¡°It¡¯s thanks to the leadership of the charismatic prince.¡± Seeing Dio and the prince praising each other¡¯s achievements, the other party members sat back so that the two could talk comfortably. This was because the conversation between Dio and the prince seemed quite political to the companions. And no matter what the prince was like, Dio¡¯s inner thoughts were closer to showmanship. There is a need to make sure Prince Prian, who is likely to be the next emperor, is on the side. That was the reason why Prian came to visit. ¡°Because of this expedition, I surpassed my brothers and became the number one candidate for crown prince.¡± ¡°Is that so? ¡°I sincerely congratulate you.¡± As Dio expected, the emperor highly praised Prion¡¯s achievements, and the trend in the imperial family was to see Prion ascend to the position of a powerful crown prince. The title of crown prince is a position given only to princes. Becoming a crown prince through a coronation ceremony was like saying that the emperor had clearly decided that he would be the next emperor. That¡¯s why Prian came to Dio and expressed his gratitude. ¡®If things continue like this, Prian will eventually become the crown prince among the four princes.¡¯ Prian was disappointed that he couldn¡¯t resolve the issue that he couldn¡¯t finish at the banquet hall, so he talked about various things with Dio. The prince continued most of the story. This is what happened in the empire during the past month without Dio. It was an obvious intention for Prian to come and tell Dio a story that was not very nutritious. In order to secure the position of crown prince, he hopes for the support of Dio, the great warrior of Solari. In addition, even if D.O. did not announce his support for Prian, just having a meeting like this was a great political move. ¡®Or maybe you just trust me.¡¯ In fact, the Prince Prian that Dio remembers was not a person with excellent social skills, which are essential for building personal connections. In this field, the first prince excelled. Dio roughly guessed Prian¡¯s story and thought about the four princes who were candidates for crown prince. The first prince is a politician. The second prince is knowledge. The third prince was a military officer. The fourth prince is Inseong. To briefly summarize the characteristics of the princes, it was as follows. So, the player chooses between four princes when taking the route of maintaining friendship with the empire. It is impossible for these crown princes to get along well ahead of their position, so it is standard practice to clearly support one side. Of course, you can remain friendly with all four princes. There is no need for players to participate in fierce successor battles. But now D.O.¡¯s position is different. In order to increase Solari¡¯s followers, Dio needs to get the powerful people of the empire on his side. Since the emperor officially mentioned Prian as the top candidate for the crown prince, the nobles who were paying attention are expected to take action in earnest. ¡®There is no need to attack other princes.¡¯ Dio shook hands with Prince Prian, who got up after saying that he would take good care of him in the future. After the prince left, Sepia approached Dio and spoke to him. ¡°So Solari now fully supports Prince Prian?¡± ¡°for now.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if the other princes will stay still.¡± Sephia, a native of Rivernos, knew how scary the struggle for power among nobles was. Moreover, what Prince Prian will have to deal with from now on is not just a power struggle. A fight for rank among the princes to take the throne. If this becomes more serious, bloodshed may come to the imperial family. ¡°don¡¯t worry. Prion is the only one who is strong, but other princes have opportunities.¡± ¡°If other princes capture the imperial family, it will be at a disadvantage to us, right?¡± ¡°Until then, I won¡¯t just watch. Until then, it might be better for us to leave the princes alone. ¡°They will try to take credit somehow.¡± Dio grinned and patted Sepia on the shoulder. ¡°One of the reasons the Empire joined hands with us is because the power of the Luna Church is large enough to threaten the imperial power. ¡°What does that mean?¡± ¡°The princes will keep the Luna Church in check in order to gain the emperor¡¯s attention.¡± Sepia nodded as if she understood what Dio said. ¡°Well, I don¡¯t know how the battle between the princes will turn out, but I¡¯m sure Prian will do well. ¡°He¡¯s not stupid either.¡± ¡°Well, there is no need to get deeply involved in the imperial family. So what do we do from now on?¡± Hearing Sepia¡¯s words, Dio rested his chin and thought for a moment. Once all events involving the emperor are over, Dio will have gained most of what he can from the empire. However, there is still something left for Dio to gain within the empire. ¡®The most important thing among them all is¡­.¡¯ Dio¡¯s eyes began to shine again after all his thoughts were organized. A hidden dungeon in this historic Freudian empire. In order to claim what was inside the dungeon, Dio had to deal with a monster. Master of magic. A dragon. * * * The imperial family of Freud¡¯s empire has secrets unknown to people. Like Duke Bertio and the Witch of Balance. Although Dio did not know the secrets of the Bertio family in the Order, he knew the secrets of Freud¡¯s empire. ¡°Are you asking for permission to enter the imperial library?¡± The emperor¡¯s throne room. Emperor Freud expressed his disapproval at Dio¡¯s request when he came to Avalon Palace. ¡°yes. ¡°I have some business to do in the secret passageway in the imperial library.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± The emperor held his head pounding at Dio¡¯s words, who seemed to take it for granted that he knew the secrets of the imperial family. ¡°The great warrior of the sun who listens to God¡¯s revelations¡­ I don¡¯t think it¡¯s strange that you know the secrets of the imperial family, but the only thing there is a stone statue.¡± A secret space hidden in the imperial palace. However, the emperor did not know what was hidden in this space, because the ancestors who were alive when this space was created did not leave any words. For what reason was this space hidden? And what does the dragon statue that exists in this space mean? ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s in there either. ¡°I simply follow Solari¡¯s revelations.¡± Dio lied without changing his facial expression. I don¡¯t know about the emperor, but there is a hidden puzzle there. If you solve the puzzle, you will be able to get the item Dio needs now. However, there was no need to convey such facts directly to the emperor. This is because the emperor may become greedy for items that were easily found after mentioning them for no reason, causing friction. ¡°Revelation¡­ I understand. ¡°Let me tell you that you have some business to attend to in the library.¡± ¡°thank you.¡± The emperor readily granted Dio¡¯s request for permission to enter the library. It was natural because there would be no reason to refuse. * * * A dragon statue erected in a secret space hidden in the imperial palace. But Dio knows. That it was not just a stone statue, but a real dragon. ¡°Meeting a dragon? No, dragons actually exist? ¡°Is that also here in the imperial palace?¡± Sephia, who was heading to the Emperor¡¯s Library with Dio, said as if she was surprised. She had just been told by Dio that she had to hunt a dragon there. ¡°Why are you so surprised? ¡°My equipment is also made from dragon scales.¡± ¡°You say it as if you made it yourself.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio remained silent at Sepia¡¯s words. The source of materials needed to make platinum dragons was this secret space of the imperial family. This is the only way players can obtain dragon scales. Moreover, since the number of dragon scales that can be obtained for each character is limited, at least 6 or more max-level characters were required. No, you don¡¯t necessarily have to be a max level character. The condition for meeting a dragon is that you must have a certain level of stats or higher. ¡®The hidden condition to wake up the statue is simple.¡¯ That is, the player character¡¯s total ability score must exceed 2500. Dio is level 450, but his total abilities have already far exceeded that of a max-level character. This is natural, as the bonus points were doubled with just Solari¡¯s Blessing, without the help of equipment or the power of faith. ¡°But can we hunt the dragon with just the two of us?¡± Sepia¡¯s continued worries. Currently, the only people heading to the secret passage are Dio and Sepia. ¡°are you okay. ¡°With us now, there is no danger at all.¡± Since Dio had hunted dragons several times, he reassured Sepia in a confident voice. Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter if you encounter a dragon alone. So Dio did not bother to call Evelyn, who had gone to see the Imperial Capital, or Roberto, who was training at Gunter. However, Sepia seemed to have nothing to do and seemed to want to stick with her, so she told me to just follow her. Dio and Sephia arrived at the library and moved to a corner. The librarian who manages the library has already left his position vacant by order of the emperor. Dio pushed the bookshelf at the end. Kugung ¨C A secret space revealed. Dio and Sepia moved forward through there. To find the dragon statue, you can go deep underground through here. Although it is said to be a secret, the emperor actually did not make much effort to hide this place. The reason is that there is nothing particularly special about the secrets of a long-established empire. A deep underground space where we don¡¯t know why it was created. And even a dragon statue whose purpose is completely unknown. Dio didn¡¯t know much about the background and wasn¡¯t interested. All he needs is some loot. If you successfully hunt a dragon, a portal will be created. And hidden within it is a valuable treasure that cannot be found anywhere. Dio smiled as he thought of the treasures he would soon obtain. * * * After going down the stairs for a while, Dio and Sepia eventually arrived in front of the dragon statue. ¡°It¡¯s smaller than I thought?¡± Sephia, who arrived in front of the stone statue, assessed that it was very different from what she had imagined. A dragon statue with its four legs neatly gathered together, like a sitting puppy. As an estimate, its size seemed to be about 4 meters. ¡°How do we know if the dragon is big or small?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Sephia nodded at Dio¡¯s words. The reason she thought it was small was probably because she imagined the huge and ferocious dragon she heard about when she was young. And Dio also had the same thoughts as Sepia. Dragons from games other than Order Edition had much larger bodies than this. ¡°Shall we begin now?¡± S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio licked his lips and walked closer to the statue. And the moment Dio puts his hand on the stone statue. Tiring! [The player¡¯s ability level satisfies the hidden conditions.] [The Dragon¡¯s Rest quest is forced to proceed.] Rumbling ¨C The surface of the statue began to crack, and the true dragon inside was revealed. ¡°Joe be careful!¡± The dragon¡¯s eyes, which had just woken up, moved back and forth, and a horrified Sepia shouted at Dio. However, despite Sephia¡¯s concerns, Dio was not worried at all. The current Dio can easily deal with dragons. Just as Dio was about to take out a weapon that was easy to use against dragons from his inventory. Something completely unexpected happened. [The dragon reacts to the player¡¯s power.] [The second hidden condition is satisfied.] ¡°What?¡± Order Board A situation I have never experienced in my life. Before Dio was surprised by this, the dragon slowly opened its mouth towards him. ¡°mom!¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 179 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 179Episode 179: Dragon. An intelligent life form that is said to be the Creator¡¯s first creation. Before humans ruled the continent, the world was ruled by dragons. They received ¡®magic¡¯ as a gift from the gods, and over time, they came to teach magic to other living creatures. As time passed, war broke out between the numerous races that came to the continent. Since the era of war, dragons have no longer been the masters of the world. In the first place, the number of dragons was very small compared to today¡¯s humans and other races, and they did not leave many descendants. In the end, dragons have always maintained neutrality among the many races that have taken over their era. Whether human, elf or dwarf. I watched the blood shed by numerous powers fighting for the position of master of the empty continent. This was also to preserve the few remaining species. I don¡¯t know if that was the intention, but in the end, the races excluding the dragons decided on their own territory and signed a treaty not to invade each other, and an era of stability was ushered in. But this didn¡¯t last long. A thousand years ago from now. The demon king Rademos, who had increased his power through the chaos that spread across the continent, descended on the continent. Despair comes to everyone. Even the gods who tried to protect the peace did not remain silent. As the conflict between good and evil took root on the continent, the dragons¡¯ position was extremely difficult. This is a dragon that has avoided dangerous wars as much as possible to preserve its species. However, the clash between the demon king and the gods was a war unlike any dragon had ever experienced. A war that will never stop until one side falls. For dragons, what is important is not good or evil. Conservation of species. The dragons discussed how to deal with this war to avoid extinction. There were those who wanted to remain neutral, and there were also those who wanted to take sides. However, it was a topic that could not be easily decided, even if it was a dragon. If you insist on neutrality, you may be attacked by the victorious force. Humans will view dragons as evil beings, and demonic beasts will view dragons as servants of God. However, standing on one side, it was difficult to tell who would win. If you were to lose on one side of the war for no reason, you would have been completely annihilated. While the dragon showed an ambiguous attitude, it was Rademos who made the move. Rademos was wary of the very existence of dragons, whether they were on his side or on the enemy¡¯s side. This was because the power of the dragon was so great. So Rademos decided to attack the dragons before they could act first. As a result, a large-scale dragon hunt occurred. Only then did the dragon choose. He ended up on Solari¡¯s side. Solari willingly accepted the dragons and imparted to them the power of the sun. The dragon¡¯s magic imbued with the power of the sun became a powerful force for Solari, and victory seemed to come to Solari, who protects the continent¡­ but the betrayal of the moon that no one expected. The Moon was jealous of everything about the Solari. Even the dragon didn¡¯t think it was right that he chose Solari over him. The unusual war between God and the Demon King ultimately ended with Luna¡¯s victory. Luna¡¯s massacre follows. The dragons who stood on the side of the sun never seemed to be able to avoid Luna¡¯s judgment and were ultimately unable to avoid extinction. The dragons who managed to survive by avoiding Luna¡¯s eyes were also in a situation where it was obvious that they would lose their lives soon because their wounds were so deep. One of them, the dragon, decides to turn his newborn child into a stone statue. And hid it. A small country that would become a huge empire in the distant future. The reason the dragon turned his child into a stone statue was simple. The world ruled by Luna was still extremely dangerous for baby dragons to live in. If the dragon grew while simply hiding, Luna would definitely notice right away. The dragon¡¯s enormous mana. This is not something that can be hidden by hiding it. Only young dragons can avoid Luna¡¯s eyes. And someday. If a miraculous day comes when Luna falls. The dragon will be able to spread its wings once again. * * * Tiring! [Hidden Quest ¨C Dragon¡¯s Rest has been activated.] [The Last Dragon ¡®Adi¡¯ is the only hatchling who survived the war that occurred on the continent a thousand years ago. Adi inherits the power of the dragon who sided with Solari and reacts strongly to the power of the sun. The player must let Adi know that he is not the enemy. If you can persuade Adi, the last dragon will follow you.] [Reward: Hatching Adi¡¯s favorability rating is 100] ¡°Mom! ¡°It was definitely your mother¡¯s energy?¡± Kugu Palace ¨C Before Dio had time to come to his senses, Hechling Adi¡¯s voice echoed in the underground space. When Adi realized that the person in front of him was not the mother he was looking for, but a stranger, he became restless and moved his feet, something he had not been able to do for a thousand years. Kugung ¨C Every time the heavy Adi moved, the ground shook and Dio blinked at the sight of him waddling around. That was because the dragon that appeared before Dio¡¯s eyes was very different from what he remembered. A dragon in front of you that you have encountered several times in the game. Each time, right after waking up from the stone statue, the dragon showed strong hostility towards Dio without saying anything, which immediately led to a battle. So Dio knew that the dragon he fought and defeated was an adult. But now the attitude is completely different from then. The majesty of the dragon in Dio¡¯s memories was nowhere to be seen, and he felt like a baby bird that had lost its mother. ¡®It wasn¡¯t just that it was small, it was a hatchling?¡¯ The system clearly informed Dio. The dragon in front of you is the only hatchling that survived the war a thousand years ago. ¡°Who are you! ¡°Where is your mom?¡± Hatchling Adi clearly felt the power of the sun, but was confused, perhaps because of the unfamiliar humans in front of him. Adi stamped his feet and turned to look around. Then its long tail pointed towards Dio and Sepia, and they quickly lowered their heads to avoid it. ¡°Oh my¡­¡± ¡°Get back! ¡°I will deal with you!¡± Adi just looked around in confusion, but Sephia seemed to have taken this as an attack and quickly tried to take out her weapon. ¡°for a moment! ¡°Wait a minute Sepia!¡± Dio hurriedly stopped Sepia and retreated together. ¡°why? ¡°You weren¡¯t trying to hunt a dragon?¡± ¡°wait. ¡°It¡¯s different from what I knew.¡± Sephia, who had an even more incomprehensible expression on Dio¡¯s words, tilted her head. ¡°Did Dio know this? ¡°Ah, you mean it¡¯s different from Master Solari¡¯s revelation?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right.¡± Dio, who gave a rough answer to Sepia¡¯s words, thought as he looked at the helpless hatchling. ¡®The second hidden condition was the presence or absence of the power of the sun. ¡®I understand why I couldn¡¯t find it.¡¯ The power of the sun is a new power that Dio learned after entering the game. It wasn¡¯t that strange to now know that dragons were related to the Solari. ¡®Originally, I was planning to kill the dragon and take the hidden treasure, but¡­¡¯ Dio changed his mind when he saw the hidden quest and the attitude of the hatchling Adi that appeared before his eyes. The system told me to persuade Adi. This means that it is not an object of hunting, and you can gain Adi¡¯s favor as a reward. ¡®You can make a dragon your ally. It would be much better than getting a small amount of Yongrin.¡¯ After assessing the situation, Dio quickly compared what he could get right away. If you get Yongrin, it will definitely be helpful when fighting the Luna Church. One of the most valuable items on the order board is Yongrin. If you use this to create armor and weapons and hand them over to the appropriate party members, Dio¡¯s power will definitely increase. However, another option is to make the dragon itself an ally at the cost of giving up the dragon. Between these two options, Dio didn¡¯t have to think for a long time. If taming a dragon, something you have never experienced before, becomes a reality. Because you can give up as many dragon scales as you want. ¡®It¡¯s persuasion¡­ I think I need to calm it down first.¡¯ Dio looked at Adi, who was anxious. Although Adi did not force an attack, it was difficult to approach him because he was extremely alert. ¡®I¡¯m confused. ¡®I can clearly feel the power of the sun that the mother has, but I only see unfamiliar humans.¡¯ As soon as Adi woke up, he looked for his ¡®mother¡¯. This was completely different from what I experienced as a player. Perhaps the difference comes from the presence or absence of the power of the sun that Dio and Sepia have. ¡®Let me think about it¡­¡¯ Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio quickly thought back to what the system had explained. In order to persuade Adi, the first word is important now. If you say anything hastily, you may irritate Adi. ¡®What I can know through the system.¡¯ Dio organized the newly learned information in his head to solve the problem in front of him. Dragons receive the grace of Solari and can control the power of the sun. The only dragon that survived the war that occurred a thousand years ago is located in a secret location in the empire. And the name of this dragon is Adi. The keyword that D.O needed most at this moment was simple. ¡°Adi?¡± Adi¡¯s expression changed when his name was called. Although he was still anxious and wary, his eyes were focused on Dio, who called his name. ¡°Now, aren¡¯t you nice? calm down. ¡°I am not your enemy.¡± Dio slowly walked towards Adi, leaving Sepia in confusion. Adi hesitantly took a step back, following Dio¡¯s approaching steps. In response, Dio made a gesture of raising both arms as if he had no intention of harming anyone. ¡°Do you know me? ¡°Who are you?¡± Adi slowly began to spread his folded wings as if to warn Dio, who was getting closer. At this, Dio stopped and opened his mouth. ¡°My name is Dio.¡± ¡°D.I.O? I don¡¯t know who you are. Do you know where your mom is? ¡°I promised that if I waited here, I would definitely come back.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio hesitated at Adi¡¯s question. It was clear that the mother Adi was looking for was dead. Because the system told me that Adi was the last remaining dragon. ¡°Calm down and listen to me. Adi. ¡°You¡­are the last remaining dragon.¡± After thinking for a moment, Dio decided to be honest with Adi. It is said that the dragon¡¯s intellectual level is very high. If you tell a white lie for no reason, but find out the truth later, you may be attacked for lying. ¡°¡­Mom won¡¯t come back?¡± Adi, who immediately understood Dio¡¯s words, asked again in a sad voice. ¡°okay. But don¡¯t worry. I will take care of you. Your mother¡­no, Yuji whom all the dragons protected. ¡°I will continue.¡± Through the system, Dio guessed what the dragon wanted. That¡¯s Adi¡¯s survival. It was clear that the dragons hid Adi in such a deep place to avoid extinction. ¡®Wouldn¡¯t Solari also want to protect the dragon on her side?¡¯ Dio wrapped the energy of the sun around his hands to soothe Adi. Then, the energy of the sun spread out in an instant, filling the surroundings. It was as if Solari, who was watching from anywhere, agreed with Dio¡¯s thoughts. Have you been soothed by the warmth of the sun¡¯s power? Adi remained silent for a long time even after Dio finished speaking. The moment when Dio tries to approach Adi once again to comfort him. ¡°crying!¡± A cry comes from Adi¡¯s mouth. No, Dragon Fear began to attack Dio and Sephia.

There are common settings not only in the Order Board but also in various media where dragons appear. A ¡®dragon¡¯ that only dragons can use. The power contained in the voice of the dragon, said to be the strongest living creature on earth, is more powerful than any other living creature. And their cries terrify everything around them. We call it Dragon Fear. Kwagwagwagwagwang! A shock wave created by the power of the dragon language contained in Adi¡¯s crying. The strong waves traveling through the atmosphere affected everything around them.

The strongest debuff technique recognized by the order board. Fortunately, Dio was not weak enough to be completely affected by the dragon fear used by Adi. [The player has partially resisted the Dragon Fear. You only receive half of all effects.] To completely resist Dragon Fear, you had to be a bit higher level than you are now. However, even to this extent, there was no problem with Dio moving and acting as usual. And although Sepia was not as strong as Dio, she was quite strong and showed some resistance to Dragon Fear. ¡°are you okay?¡± ¡°yes. I¡¯m OK.¡± After asking Sepia how she was doing, Dio turned his head again towards Adi, who was crying loudly. The dragon fear used just now did not contain any intention to attack. It was surprising that Dragon Fear could be activated just by crying, but that was why Dio waited. Until Adi shed all her tears and calmed down. However, unlike Dio, who had planned to wait quietly, Sepia took steps slowly. ¡°sepia?¡± Despite Dio¡¯s call, Sepia did not stop and slowly walked towards Adi, who was crying. ¡°Sepia wait a minute!¡± ¡°It¡¯s pitiful.¡± Dio tried to grab Sephia¡¯s arm to stop her, but he stopped what he was doing when he heard her muttering. This is because I guessed what Sepia was going to do now. Contrary to Dio¡¯s thoughts of waiting quietly, Sepia chose comfort. ¡°Uh huff.¡± Adi, who was crying sadly, sobbed as he saw Sephia approaching. ¡°are you okay. ¡°I promise I won¡¯t hurt you.¡± Sepia comfort. Her words contained more than just sympathy for the hatchling. Feeling guilty about his actions of trying to attack such a young dragon. And sympathy for the feelings of losing a family member. The sincerity contained in the consolation stopped Adi¡¯s tears from flowing incessantly. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± A touch of sepia containing the warm sun. Adi brought his face close to her, as if he wanted to feel her touch. ¡°okay. kind.¡± Sephia stroked the bridge of Adi¡¯s nose, and Adi¡¯s tail began to wag left and right as if to calm him down. ¡®What Adi needed was not time, but comfort.¡¯ Dio, who had been anxiously watching Sepia¡¯s actions, realized that he was wrong in thinking that things would be resolved if he just waited, and let go of the sword he was holding. The only Adi that Dio has encountered so far has been a bloody battle. That¡¯s why Dio didn¡¯t have it in mind. That the other person is a young hatchling who needs comfort and encouragement. Anyway, thanks to Sepia, Adi calmed down a lot, so Dio also approached them and opened his mouth. ¡°Let me introduce ourselves again. My name is Dio. And this is sepia.¡± ¡°Sepia¡­¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Adi muttered while looking at Sepia with big eyes, and Sepia smiled as if to reassure him. ¡°Adi. Do you want to go out with us? ¡°Isn¡¯t it stuffy here?¡± Dio began to seduce Adi in earnest. The content of the quest to convince Adi is simple. This can be easily resolved by convincing them that they are not enemies and that they are allies who will protect you. That¡¯s why Dio suggested it. Let¡¯s believe in ourselves and go out together in this narrow space. At Dio¡¯s words, Adi growled lowly and shook his head. ¡°I can¡¯t go out¡­I promised mom.¡± ¡°promise?¡± ¡°When you wake up, be sure to guard your room.¡± ¡°room? ¡°Are you saying we have to protect this place?¡± ¡°No, not here¡­¡± Dio couldn¡¯t understand Adi¡¯s explanation. Originally, the only things in this place were the stone statues and the portal that appears when you kill Adi, who has been freed from the statues¡­ ¡°Ah!¡± Dio, who racked his brain to understand Adi¡¯s words, was able to realize what the ¡®room¡¯ this hatchling was talking about meant. Ugh-! As soon as Dio realized this, a portal opened behind Adi. Adi nodded toward the portal and continued speaking. ¡°That room.¡± As Adi finished speaking, Dio barely suppressed his joy. The moment Dio gave up Yongrin, he also gave up the treasure contained within the portal. Because I knew that the only condition for the portal to open was Adi¡¯s death. But Dio noticed. The portal can be opened and closed at Adi¡¯s will. ¡®You can get the treasure without killing Adi. then!¡¯ Dio opened his mouth to persuade Adi, who was looking sad, once again. ¡°Adi. ¡°When your mother told you to guard your room, she meant to guard the items in it, right?¡± ¡°Ugh. ¡°I guess so?¡± Adi agreed to Dio¡¯s words in a not very confident tone. Dio got a sense of Adi¡¯s attitude. Adi didn¡¯t seem to know the details of why his mother had told him to guard this room a thousand years ago. ¡°I¡¯m on your side. It¡¯s dangerous here. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be okay to take those items and leave?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Seeing Adi still hesitating, Dio thought of a plan. The person I am talking to now is a young hatchling. Through Sepia, D.O. now clearly knows how to treat Adi. ¡°Adi. ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡± Dio, who spoke to Adi in a very friendly voice, recalled what happened at the last banquet. As it was not enough to taste all of the imperial family¡¯s food, Evelyn took Dio with her and asked him to keep a lot of the food. Dio held back at her greed, but since inventory space was unlimited anyway, he granted Evelyn¡¯s request. The food I was going to give to Adi now was the food I had stored at that time. There is nothing better than giving a sweet candy to a crying child. So Dio took everything out of his inventory. Cake Pudding Cookie Ice Cream. Just by looking at it, sweet food popped out in front of Dio. Dio¡¯s inventory has abilities that are on a different level from those of ordinary wizards. Therefore, food could be kept fresh as it was when stored. ¡°Eat as much as you want. ¡°It¡¯s all for you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Adi instinctively drooled at the sweet scent of chocolate. Dio didn¡¯t know what the dragon¡¯s appetite was, but judging from Adi¡¯s reaction, he could feel that the imperial dessert was well-fed. ¡°Now, let¡¯s fill our bellies. ¡°I will be taking care of the precious items your mother asked for.¡± ¡°huh? Yes.¡± While Adi was preoccupied with food, Dio naturally explained his purpose to Adi. Dio¡¯s behavior is reminiscent of giving candy to a child guarding the house and then stealing. Adi, who did not suspect Dio at all, buried his face in the mountain of cake. ¡°It¡¯s delicious! ¡°This is my first time trying something like this!¡± Adi is happy, swallowing his food without even chewing it properly. Looking at Adi like that, Dio smiled inwardly. Although Adi is a hatchling, it has a body so large that it cannot be compared to a human. Although Adi was inhaling food as if cleaning it, the amount of food Dio took out was large enough for Adi to handle it. ¡®Thank you, Evelyn. There will come a day when your greed will be helpful.¡¯ After telling Sepia to watch Adi, Dio carefully put his hand through the portal. Soon, numerous vials were caught in Dio¡¯s hands. Among them, there were four potions that particularly stood out. Just like oil floating in water takes on rainbow colors. The contents inside the potion were colorful. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Strange Potion] Grade: Myth Classification: Potion Effect: When taken, immediately increases the user¡¯s level by 2 levels. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®Wow, it¡¯s killing me. The only mythic level potion.¡¯ The name of the item is ¡®Strange Potion¡¯, but among players, it is called a level-up potion. It can be seen as a potion with the greatest efficacy, as acknowledged by everyone. And in addition to the strange potion, there was also an awakening potion. This awakening potion, which is considered the best among the buff series, is one of only a few items in Dio¡¯s warehouse, so the more there were, the better. ¡®For some reason, it makes sense that the type of potion was hidden.¡¯ Dio was able to roughly guess why most of the potions with excellent effects were stored here. The dragon must have kept this tooth for Adi, who will wake up someday. The world is not easy for a young hatchling who has just woken up. ¡®I don¡¯t know anything else, but I can¡¯t hand over the strange potion to Adi.¡¯ Dio convinced himself that it was right for him to keep the strange potion in order to protect Adi. ¡®I don¡¯t see anything new anymore. It seems like I¡¯ve taken everything I needed¡­¡¯ Dio looked around the portal to see if there was anything new like when he got the All-Purpose Jade. I tried using the power of the sun and converting the omnipotent jade into various forms, but there were no more items. ¡®There is no need to be greedy. ¡®I came here from the beginning for the purpose of a strange potion.¡¯ Dio came out of the portal and flinched when he saw Adi staring at him. In that short period of time, Adi greedily ate all the food that Evelyn had brought. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll keep it safe. ¡°Even though I¡¯m like this, I¡¯m really strong.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sepia was also scolding Dio with her eyes. Dio, who felt numb at this, was condescending by directly showing Adi how he was putting the items he brought from the portal into his inventory. Did Dio¡¯s acting work? Tiring! [Dragon¡¯s Rest has been completed.] [Quest completed.] [Reward ¨C Hatchling Adi¡¯s favorability rating is 100] The quest has been completed with a message that Adi¡¯s favorability rating has been achieved. In response, Adi approached Dio and made a face as if he was grateful. ¡°okay. kind. So, are we going together?¡± Silver scales that look more noble than any other animal. As Dio stroked Adi¡¯s neck, which was covered in such scales, Adi purred happily. ¡®Taming a dragon. ¡®How surprised people would be if they found out.¡¯ The people Dio was talking about were not from the Order Board. It refers to the users who played the order board with him. If people knew what D.O looked like now, they would definitely say this. That stagnant water causes bugs. ¡°Can you possibly fly in the sky?¡± ¡°of course! ¡°I am a great dragon!¡± Adi, agitated by Dio¡¯s words, vigorously raised his head. Asking whether he can fly is a very dismissive statement for a proud dragon. Dio, who smiled at Adi, lightly kicked the ground and climbed on Adi¡¯s back. ¡°Now then, shall we go? sepia. ¡°You come up too.¡± ¡°Uh¡­the passage looks too narrow for Adi to fly through?¡± Sepia looked back the way she came and spoke with concern, but Dio gestured as if it was okay. ¡°Nothing can stop a dragon from flying. Right, Adi?¡± ¡°Of course! I¡¯m a dragon!¡± Adi shouted confidently at Dio¡¯s words and spread his wings wide. A dragon that has disappeared from the continent for a thousand years. The great clan was about to soar in the sky once again. ¡°depart!¡± Dio shouted, excited to be riding a dragon. I had no idea that this was like terrorism to the imperial family.

The Empire¡¯s announced cooperation with Solari was tantamount to a declaration of war against the Luna Church. A fight over who is the true owner of the continent. With the huge war that would inevitably come, people might have hoped that the festival would never end. However, such a complacent attitude was never helpful in the war. In the past, the nobles of the continent were having a hard time deciding which line to take between the two powers that were tightly fighting against each other. The Luna Church has maintained the top position on the continent for a long time. And by uncovering the incompetence and evil deeds of the Luna Church, the newly revived Solari Church and the Freud Empire that supports it. Although it may seem strange for the same people to point their swords at each other even after successfully subduing the Demon Lord, it was not that strange in this world. Religious ideology played a large part in the lives of people here. In addition, there were many nobles who tried to take advantage of the confusion. They are people who want war even if they do not express it outwardly. Because war was an opportunity to make money and quickly obtain a title. Among the continent¡¯s nobles with different views, those who had a strong belief in Luna regarded Solari as a heretic and were also hostile to the empire that sided with him. Because of this, opinions were divided even within the empire, and eventually most of the empire¡¯s citizens turned against Luna. They raised their voices saying that they could not entrust their safety to the incompetence of the Luna Church. The final battle for continental supremacy is now just around the corner. Avalon Palace was also holding a heated meeting. ¡°The Luna Church¡¯s actions are unusual. your majesty.¡± Among the dozens of nobles gathered in front of Emperor Freud, a man with a large stature and a fierce appearance spoke. He was Duke Dalimus, lord of the Duke of Bertio. ¡°The troops of countries that have the Luna Church as their religious state are also rapidly gathering around the central continent and the east.¡± ¡°It is said that private soldiers from the territories are also moving. If the Luna Church orders mobilization, we will be late.¡± Nobles who listen to Dalimus. These were all great nobles who swore allegiance to the Empire and agreed to accept the doctrines of the new Solari. Their position was simple. Since the Luna Church is showing signs of preparing for war, the Empire should also prepare for this. However, there were also nobles who opposed this. ¡°Do you really think the Luna Church will start a war? Just because Solari is a thorn in your side?¡± The position of the Luna Church, which did not play much of an active role in this eastern part of the country. However, it was clear that the Luna Church had taken the lead in protecting the continent over the past thousand years. That¡¯s why some nobles were hesitant to confront the Luna Church¡¯s response. However, this happened because most nobles had limited information about Kaleina of the Luna Church. ¡°The current Luna Church is no longer the guardian of peace we knew.¡± Dalimus, who knew the information closest to the truth, looked around at everyone and opened his mouth. ¡°They are no longer interested in protecting the continent. ¡°I don¡¯t know what I¡¯ll do to maintain the glory I¡¯ve enjoyed so far.¡± ¡°Are you saying that you are willing to go to war because you are afraid of losing your position to the Solari?¡± ¡°If you were a saint of the Luna Church, that would be enough. She is using this opportunity to take down not only the Great War of Solari, but also the Empire. ¡°So that you never go against your authority again.¡± A lion¡¯s voice filled with majesty. At the words of Dalimus, who was called the king of the East, and not other nobles, all the nobles who were unwilling to go to war kept silent. Even if the Luna Church is not going to invade the empire with its troops right away, it is definitely necessary to prepare to fight it. ¡°What are you going to do? your majesty.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± The emperor was lost in thought at the question of Gunther next to him. In any case, the cooperation with Dio was carried out with an all-out war against the Luna Church in mind. However, unless the Luna Church has directly invaded the empire, making the first move is something that needs to be considered carefully. Because the world is still unaware of the Luna Church¡¯s ambitions. ¡®As long as the Luna Church is mobilizing the lords¡¯ private armies, we won¡¯t be able to sit still.¡¯ Keeping the Luna Church in check did not end with deploying troops only to Atra, the church¡¯s capital. The forces of the Luna Church spread throughout the continent. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And the empire was located in the central continent, in the middle of the continent. If you watch and act from the Luna Church¡¯s movements here, the Luna Church¡¯s troops could easily surround the empire. In order for that to not happen, the empire had to embrace or subdue other regional countries through diplomacy or force. ¡°Then¡­¡± The moment when the emperor was trying to decide what to do with the Luna Church in the future and the direction the empire should take. Suddenly, the entire Avalon Palace began to shake, and all the nobles sitting in their seats stood up in surprise. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Unlike the nobles who were frightened by the sudden earthquake, Gunther remained calm and approached the window. ¡°Look over there!¡± Several nobles, including Gunther, were embarrassed and pointed their fingers at what was happening outside the window. The emperor also moved his gaze in the direction pointed by the nobles and opened his mouth wide at the unbelievable situation that followed. Whoosh! An imperial garden filled with both luxury and grandeur. Not only were the flower beds decorating the garden falling into the ground, but the statues that the empire had built to commemorate previous emperors also began to collapse. ¡°The imperial garden¡­!¡± ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± ¡°Could it be that the saint has already made a move!?¡± Did someone attack Avalon Palace, where the emperor resides? People could not easily accept this ridiculous situation. It was impossible to breach the defenses of this place, which were guarded by the best wizards and knights on the continent. However, the emperor, watching the situation through the window, soon found out. Shut up! It wasn¡¯t that someone had broken into the ecliptic. That the gigantic ¡®life¡¯ that broke through the ground is the owner of this land that existed before the founding of the empire. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°oh my god. Could that be¡­?¡± People were astonished by the appearance of a dragon in the middle of the imperial palace. The dragon that made a mess of the garden flew high into the sky without any hesitation. -Kaooooo! The roar of a dragon that appears with its back to the sun. The people were startled and panicked, not knowing what to do, and Gunther looked at the emperor who was silently putting his hand on his forehead. ¡°Your Majesty! That must be¡­!¡± ¡°her!¡± A suspicious space buried beneath the empire. This is a secret that is not known except to the emperor and a few close associates such as Gunther. Even if it is a secret, it is an empty space with nothing except a dragon statue. The emperor finally found out. This is why our ancestors told us to keep the space where only dragon statues exist a secret. ¡°It¡¯s a dragon! ¡°That¡¯s definitely a dragon!¡± ¡°Nonsense! ¡°I thought it was just an illusion from an old story!¡± Each nobleman who saw the dragon shouted. The dragon flaps its wings leisurely in the sky and looks down for a moment. As a result, people were afraid that the dragon would spew fire from its mouth like in fairy tales, but such a disaster did not happen. Cry ¨C The dragon flapped its huge wings and let out a snort, then turned around and began to fly higher and higher. The brilliant silver scales reflect the sun and sparkle even more. The emperor assured himself as he watched the dragon¡¯s back move away in an instant with just a few flaps of its wings. A dragon that has been sleeping in the form of a stone statue under the Empire for a long time. That dragon is the secret of the empire that even the emperor did not know about. ¡°Did you just see it? ¡°There was someone riding on my back!¡± ¡°I saw it too. ¡°It seemed like it wasn¡¯t just one person.¡± The emperor came to his senses as the nobles murmured. The reason why the dragon, which had been sleeping peacefully until now, woke up. The emperor was the only one among those gathered here who knew the reason. ¡®Was the dragon waiting for him?¡¯ The emperor thought of Dio, who casually knew about the secret space. So the emperor became even more confused. It was definitely not a coincidence that Dio woke up the dragon. A secret space hidden beneath the empire, and that the stone statue with the shape of a dragon is a real dragon. The explanation that Solari, who knew all about this, sent Dio to awaken the dragon¡­ was the most suitable story for the Emperor to understand. ¡®A dragon hidden under the Empire¡¯s protection¡­maybe the relationship between the Solari and the Empire is not an ordinary partnership.¡¯ Because the dragon flew into the sky and left quickly, the face of the person riding on its back could not be clearly seen. But the emperor knew that it was Dio, so he winked at Gunther. ¡°As your Majesty expected, Dio is correct. And then I got a call from him. What should I do?¡± Gunther carefully approached the emperor, avoiding the eyes of the other nobles, and took out the sparkling crystal ball in his arms. This communication crystal ball was a top-class artifact that allowed quick contact with Dio. Gunther had also delivered a crystal ball to Dio because there was a need to communicate in unexpected situations like now. It certainly seemed like they had contacted me right away regarding the dragon. ¡°okay. I talk directly. You conclude the meeting. ¡°It¡¯s about gathering the army.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Leaving behind Gunther¡¯s silent bow, the emperor handed over the crystal ball to him and quickly left Avalon Palace. -Ah, can you hear me? your majesty. As soon as the Emperor activated the crystal ball¡¯s signal, Dio¡¯s voice was heard. ¡°What on earth happened to you?¡± -Haha, are you very surprised? ¡°That¡¯s what you call a Genga Dragon! If something like this had happened, you should have told me a long time ago! -sorry. The dragon has just awakened and seems to be having a hard time controlling it. ¡°Something like something out of a fairy tale is happening¡­ Are you really a warrior? The emperor let out a hollow laugh at Dio¡¯s carefree report. A warrior who rides a dragon. The emperor¡¯s heart began to pound once again at the sight of Dio¡¯s appearance, which was completely different from the one he had seen in the banquet hall. If you ask Dio, wouldn¡¯t it be possible for you to ride a dragon and fly through the sky? An imagination unbecoming of an emperor. The dragon¡¯s appearance was such a unique experience that it turned even the emperor into a child. Dio, who had no way of knowing how the emperor felt, continued calmly. Because in Dio¡¯s memories, the emperor was mature. -Now that I have awakened the dragon, I will take a day to go to the West. ¡°West? What¡¯s going on there? The Emperor suddenly came to his senses when Dio said that he would travel to the West and return across the continent while hanging on a dragon. Dio just smiled and said his last words. -I have something to resolve quickly. I¡¯ll be back soon. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 182 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 182Episode 182: In the western part of the continent, if you pass through Dunville Forest, you will find a temple. A temple that worshiped old gods who had disappeared from people¡¯s memories. Forgotten temple. However, there were people who now knew that the identity of the forgotten god was Solari. Kaleyna, the saint of Luna. Through Dio¡¯s actions, Kaleina learned of the existence of the seven stars that serve Solari. And a hint about the ¡®giant¡¯ found in the forgotten temple. After learning that a giant believed to be one of the Seven Stars was hiding in the deep southern valley, Kaleina immediately defeated the giant. For Kaleyna, this was the only accomplishment she had, so she could not be satisfied with just killing the giant. ¡°Move quickly!¡± A Holy Knight of the Luna Church shouting at soldiers moving a large log. This time, Bright was given orders to command the troops dispatched to the Forgotten Temple. ¡°Five more barracks should be built by today. Do you understand?¡± ¡°yes!¡± Following Bright¡¯s orders, the soldiers moved the trees brought from Dunville Forest in perfect order. A forgotten temple that had long been stopped from being visited by people. It originally looked like an ancient ruin covered in long, unruly vines, but now it is difficult to find that appearance anymore. ¡°When will the final watchtower be completed?¡± ¡°I think it will be completed by this evening.¡± ¡°okay. There was an order from superiors to further strengthen security. ¡°The troops needed for this will arrive soon, so let¡¯s complete it as quickly as possible.¡± ¡°All right.¡± When Bright gave the order, numerous soldiers began to move again. A soldier who divides stones and wood. A soldier who lights a bonfire and boils food. A soldier who watches over the surroundings for a sturdy watchtower. Their appearance seemed as if they were turning a forgotten temple into a fortress. And this appearance was actually ordered by Kaleyna. ¡°Hmm, there is no progress regarding the statue.¡± Bright flipped through a report containing information about the temple. The report included not only the events that took place after Bright was dispatched to this temple, but also the contents written by the advance team. Among them, the first report was written by a priest of the Luna Church. The content was written about a duel between ¡®Monte¡¯, who was presumed to be an A-class mercenary, and a Death Knight, who was presumed to be the guardian of the temple. ¡°Have you found out anything else about the statue?¡± ¡°Yes, I guess we will have to wait until additional troops arrive, as instructed by Seongguk.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°But just in case, keep looking.¡± ¡°All right.¡± The reason why the Luna Church established an outpost in a forgotten temple was obvious. Finding out everything about the Guardian Statue, which is very likely to be related to Solari. So, a large number of top-level priests and wizards from the Luna Church were deployed here. However, despite their efforts, they have not yet been able to figure out the secret of the guardian statue. From their perspective, it looked just like an ordinary stone statue, and as there was no progress in the situation, opinions were being raised that Priest Clara¡¯s report might have been wrong. However, all such opinions were dismissed. Kaleina was convinced that there must be a secret in the Guardian Statue, and if she did not reveal it, it would definitely be a major obstacle to the Luna Church¡¯s future moves. So, the saint¡¯s new order was recently issued. The instructions were to destroy the statue at all costs if it was impossible to reveal the secret about the guardian statue. ¡®My role is to rule out external factors. I can take a breather until they arrive.¡¯ The mission to destroy the statue was not carried out by Bright. If Priest Clara¡¯s report is correct, this statue contains a very powerful Death Knight. If the Death Knight wakes up while trying to forcefully destroy it, the troops currently deployed to the temple will never be able to handle it. So we are waiting for additional troops. Even if the Guardian wakes up and fights the Death Knight, the Luna Church¡¯s maximum power is enough to take him out. ¡®It seems like the heretics don¡¯t even know we¡¯re here. ¡®I¡¯m comfortable and good.¡¯ Bright was satisfied with his mission and closed the report. Kaleina says that Solari may interfere to prevent interest in Guardians. Bright thought that Kaleyna¡¯s worries were for nothing. It¡¯s been almost a month since I came here, but no one except the Luna Church has come here, let alone heretics. This meant that the forgotten temple was a remote place where people did not go. ¡®It¡¯s a shame.¡¯ Although his body felt comfortable, Bright felt a sense of regret inside. This was a good opportunity to punish the members of Solari who were going on a rampage without even knowing the topic. Heretics who dared to turn their backs on the moon and cling to the sun. This was an opportunity for a senior paladin like Bright to get promoted. If you are active in punishing heretics, you may become the most powerful Heresy Inquisitor within the church. You might not know. Not only will he become a Heresy Questioner, but he may also be given the title of ¡®Sword¡¯ to protect the Luna Church. Bright was filled with greed for merit rather than faith. The wind that awakened Bright¡¯s delusions blew into the forgotten temple. Shuwak- ¡°What just happened?¡± ¡°Does it feel like something has passed?¡± Bright wasn¡¯t the only one who felt it. Clearly, everyone felt that something was passing quickly in the sky of the forgotten temple. All the soldiers who felt strange looked up at the sky, but all they could see was the dazzling light from the sun, so they could only frown. ¡°for a moment! ¡°Something is coming down over there!¡± ¡°Who is it? ¡°Is it a person?¡± ¡°Bright! ¡°Something in the sky¡­!¡± Even without the soldiers¡¯ cries, Bright could also be seen. ¡°Everyone gave battle¡­.¡± Two people falling from the sky. Bright stuttered at the ominous feeling they had. But his words could never last. A sparkling sword swung with the sun at its back. This was because he cut off Bright¡¯s arm in one go. ¡°Kaaaaaaak!¡± Starting with Bright¡¯s scream, a huge explosion occurred in the forgotten temple. Quagwagwagwang! Rumble- ¡°It¡¯s an enemy attack!¡± ¡°Take up arms!¡± As soon as an unidentified intruder appears, the forgotten temple turns into a fierce battlefield. Suddenly- Kaga-gak-! There are only two opponents. However, the heads of numerous paladins and soldiers were cut off by those two people. Bright trembled, forgetting the pain of his arm falling off. The man wielding a large sword was someone Bright knew. A person of interest wanted by the Luna Church. The great warrior of the sun who leads the heretics that are mushrooming. Bright regretted it when he came face to face with the power of heresy that he had so ignored.

The moment when he envied his fellow paladins who were making contributions on the front line¡­ It was only because of death that came right around the corner that he was able to realize how foolish that thought was. * * * ¡°Whew-¡± Dio took a breath, shaking off the blood on his knife. From the beginning, he had expected that Luna Church troops were stationed in the forgotten temple. However, the number of troops was not as large as expected. The number of paladins that Dio has cut down now is about ten. No matter how many of the remaining soldiers there were, they were no match for Dio. ¡°What is the Luna Church doing here?¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because of that.¡± In response to Sepia¡¯s curious question, Dio pointed to a stone statue with his finger. ¡°What is that? Wait¡­I can feel the power inside me.¡± Sepia approached the stone statue bearing the shape of a Death Knight and looked at it closely. Dio, who was watching Sepia, recalled the moment of crisis that took place in the forgotten temple. ¡®Adelia Darc¡­if she is a believer of Solari, she will be able to add to our strength.¡¯ It is easy to see why Death Knights are believers of Solari. Currently, Dio¡¯s previous job as the Great Warrior of the Sun, which was given to him by Solari, was ¡®Forgotten Swordsman¡¯. And the place where Dio obtained this special job that he had never experienced before on the Order Board was none other than this Forgotten Temple. ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°The power protecting the statue is incredibly strong. ¡°If it¡¯s at this level, it¡¯s not inferior at all to Calliope or the other seven stars.¡± ¡°Can you awaken the Guardian with your power now?¡± ¡°well. I think it could be awakened with a significant amount of solar power¡­ but I¡¯m not sure how much it would be.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Dio was lost in thought for a moment as Sepia said that. The war with the Holy Kingdom is now just around the corner. For this, Dio needed to mobilize all his power. The military power mentioned here does not only refer to the troops necessary for fighting. A being that remembers the history of a thousand years ago. If even one more person knows the story about Solari and Luna, Dio can gain a lot. And the perfect place for this was the forgotten temple where the Death Knight rested. A death knight with the name Adelia Darc. There was a very high chance that she would hear old stories that Dio didn¡¯t know about. ¡®It might be dangerous if Sepia¡¯s power is used up now. ¡®Maybe you should have come with Calliope?¡¯ Dio thought of Calliope, but quickly shook his head. Calliope is already busy. He is currently in Temberg to urgently convene the Seven Stars on behalf of Dio, and is likely holding additional meetings. Calliope¡¯s important task was to ensure that the best power of the seven stars could be deployed whenever Dio called. There was no need to bring such a busy Calliope here. ¡°First of all¡­¡± Dio put aside the matter of Death Knight and opened his mouth to Sepia. It was to explain why Sephia had been brought to the forgotten temple. However, before Dio could open his mouth, a desperate cry reached the ears of Dio and Sephia. ¡°You bastard heretics! It was a mistake for you to come here! Cough!¡± Bright, a paladin whose arm was cut off by Dio¡¯s sword. The thick blood gushing out of him showed that his life was not long. Is it because I faced death? Bright shouted, glaring at Dio as if he had lost his mind. ¡°The saint already knows. ¡°You guys are going to attack this place!¡± ¡°You¡¯re smart.¡± Despite Bright¡¯s words, Dio responded without much emotion. Dio also knew this. The fact that Kaleyna was already interested in the forgotten temple. ¡°The Luna Church¡¯s greatest strength is coming this way! The leisure you have is only for now. Hehehe¡­.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Dio actually smiled when Bright said that the Luna Church¡¯s troops were coming. ¡°But you know what? ¡°I saved your life on purpose?¡± ¡°what?¡± Bright looked embarrassed at Dio¡¯s words. ¡®There is no way a saint could protect a forgotten temple with only this many troops.¡¯ Dio was sung by the surviving paladin. Luna¡¯s greatest power¡­ five swords. Wow ¨C Dio sensed waves of mana around him. They came. Suddenly! After cutting off Bright¡¯s head, which was no longer useful, Dio slowly walked forward. Was that a signal? Blue pillars gradually emerged around the forgotten temple. Shoo shoo shoo shoo ¨C As the blue pillar disappeared, paladins armed with blue-silver full armor began to appear one by one. Paladins filled the temple that was quickly forgotten. The intimidation of that number, which seemed to be roughly 200 people, was truly enormous. Even knights from any continent would be no match for them. The woman who stands out the most among them all. Unlike the heavily armed paladin, she was wearing heavy military boots and a neat nun¡¯s uniform. A woman with five swords and the red rose of the goddess. It was Scarlett. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 183 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 183Episode 183: Only two of the five swords remain in the Luna Church. Galletto and Paul were killed, and Elaine defected to Solari¡¯s side. In the case of Aldur, he was not seriously injured during the eastern expedition, but Calliope sent him away. Calliope said that for the time being, Adur would have a hard time even returning to the Luna Church, so the only five swords, Scarlet, that can be moved immediately. And because Dio knew this fact, he personally came to the forgotten temple. To end Scarlett with his own hands. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°You are the guy of the rumor.¡± Scarlett looked at Dio, who seemed to have come to meet her, and opened her mouth. ¡°okay. And you are the famous Inquisitor of Optics, right?¡± Scarlett has a terrifying title that goes beyond sadism and is optical. Scarlett smiled her signature smile at Dio¡¯s words. Even though people knew of her twisted personality, they did not dare to mention the word ¡®optics¡¯ in front of her. This was because there were more than one person who offended Scarlett and went crazy. ¡°This is an honor, but the fact that you came here even though you know who I am¡­can I say you were waiting for me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not necessarily because of you.¡± Dio took his eyes off Scarlett and glanced at Sepia. Sephia, feeling his gaze, just made an incomprehensible expression, and Dio sighed. ¡®As expected, we¡¯re together¡­ Will Sepia be able to overcome it?¡¯ Dio¡¯s reasons for coming to the Forgotten Temple were varied. First, to examine the Death Knight statue. To summon the second Scarlett. And finally the third. To find ¡®him¡¯ who will be by Scarlett¡¯s side. ¡°Oh, the face next to him is familiar?¡± As if noticing Dio¡¯s gaze, Scarlett also looked at Sepia and raised her voice tone. As if he was happy that a fun toy had found itself. ¡°I have a rough guess¡­yeah. Are you looking for him? But what should I do about this?¡± Scarlett took a step back and one of the many paladins standing behind her stepped forward. At this, Sepia¡¯s eyes opened wide, and unstoppable trembling took over her entire body. ¡°Oh brother!¡± The person who once asked Dio for Sepia¡¯s safety. Sepia¡¯s only blood relative. Sigmund, Lieber North¡¯s deputy knight commander, appeared before Dio and Sepia. * * * Even though Sepia has become stronger, fighting Scarlett is clearly dangerous. Nevertheless, the reason Dio came to the Forgotten Temple with Sephia was because there was a very high probability that Sigmund would stay by Scarlett¡¯s side. If this was the original version of Order, Sepia¡¯s death would result in Sigmund ascending to the position of the strongest judge of the Luna Church. Overtaking the reputation of Paul Eppenhaus, whom Kaleina always had by her side. However, because of Dio, Sigmund cannot awaken. Because sepia is alive. And in this process, Sigmund stopped the Luna Church to protect Sephia and helped Dio escape from prison. ¡®I guess it was because of me that Sigmund was captured by Scarlet¡­¡¯ Unlike Sephia, who was at a loss for what to do about the unexpected encounter, Dio showed a bitter expression as if he had fully expected this. This was because Dio knew that Sigmund, who was not awakened, was just good prey for Scarlett. Sigmund, who is not a judge, will not be stronger than Scarlett, so this is expected. Dio looked at Sigmund, who seemed to be out of his mind. Unlike Sepia, Sigmund¡¯s eyes were not looking at her. Sigmund has eyes that make him look like someone¡¯s puppet. His eyes were only fixed on Dio. As if ready to pounce at any time. ¡°Hello. The heretic inquisitor of our new Luna Church. ¡°It¡¯s Sigmund.¡± Scarlett, who knew about the relationship between Sigmund and Sephia, sneered as if it was amusing. ¡°What did you do to my brother!¡± ¡°Sepia wait a minute.¡± Sepia could not hold back her anger and tried to attack Scarlett, but Dio caught her. This was because Dio needed to inform Sephia of Sigmund¡¯s condition accurately. Sigmund¡¯s eyes are devoid of any emotion and the Luna Church paladin outfit he is wearing. The current Sigmund had been brainwashed by Scarlett and was clearly on the side of the Luna Church. ¡°Are you going to stop these families from being reunited? ¡°He¡¯s also cruel.¡± Sephia gritted her teeth again at Scarlett¡¯s words, but thanks to Dio¡¯s intervention, she was no longer provoked. ¡°calm down. ¡°Sigmund is out of his mind now.¡± ¡°¡­How can I save my brother?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio hesitated at Sepia¡¯s words, which contained the will to save Sigmund at all costs. This is because there was no particular way to save Sigmund right now. It¡¯s not that Dio hasn¡¯t thought about what will happen to Sigmund after he was captured by Scarlet. Sigmund must have tried to somehow escape the Luna Church in order to meet Sepia again. So Dio wished Sigmund good luck. With Sigmund¡¯s skills, there would be no possibility of escape. So, right before I summoned Scarlett, I secretly hoped that Sigmund would not be next to her. However, contrary to Dio¡¯s expectations, which only depended on luck, Sigmund was unable to escape the hands of the Luna Church. ¡®Because there¡¯s no way Scarlett would leave someone as strong and confident as Sigmund alone.¡¯ Dio clearly remembers Scarlett¡¯s twisted personality and abilities. The skill called ¡®Sadistic Grasp¡¯ is a unique skill that only Scarlett can use in the Luna Church. When Scarlett meets someone she likes, she uses her powers to constantly torture them. Until the other person¡¯s strong beliefs collapse. The longer she endures, the more Scarlett¡¯s sadism awakens, so even Sigmund has no choice but to collapse. ¡®Could the Pledge of Liberation have saved Sigmund?¡¯ Dio thought as he looked at Sepia, who was looking at him with sad eyes. The oath of liberation not only lifted the curse of Sepia, but also the brainwashing of the World Tree. Moreover, with Scarlett¡¯s skills, it would definitely be possible to solve it with the Pledge of Liberation. However, the number of people who can contract with the Oath of Liberation that has reached level 3 is two. In order to increase this, the level of the oath of liberation must be further increased, but Dio has not yet figured out how to do so. There were other problems too. Even if the number of contractees bound by the oath of liberation is empty, the current Sigmund cannot understand Dio¡¯s words at all. And this becomes the biggest obstacle to the success of the liberation pledge. ¡®The pledge of liberation is applied only when the other party agrees. But now, Sigmund¡­¡¯ Dio looked once again at Sigmund, who was standing next to Scarlett. Unlike Sepia and Elaine, Sigmund has no ego of his own right now. Even if you use the Pledge of Liberation on Sigmund, the Pledge of Liberation will not proceed unless Sigmund agrees. ¡°Heresy¡­kill¡­kill.¡± ¡°Now, aren¡¯t you nice? hang on. ¡°Because this sister has a little more to talk about.¡± The voice coming out of Sigmund¡¯s mouth was difficult to believe was human. The appearance of a berserker who appears to have lost consciousness. Scarlett calmed down Sigmund¡¯s animal-like cries. ¡°Are you okay? Even if you fight with your lovely brother?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Did you say you are the Great Warrior of the Sun? ¡°What are your beliefs?¡± Thump-thump-thump- Scarlett continued speaking as she slowly approached Dio. ¡°If your goal is to destroy the moon, you will have to cut down the family of a precious comrade¡­ can you do it?¡± Scarlett, who took out a red dagger, continued speaking. ¡°If you give up your head here¡­ I could let Sigmund go.¡± Scarlett pointed the weapon at Dio, and Dio put his hand on the hilt without the slightest hesitation. Seeing this, Scarlett snorted as if steam had escaped. ¡°joy! I knew it would happen. Is that your choice? Well, your life is the most precious thing. Just in case, even if you kill me, Sigmund will not come back.¡± There was no lie in Scarlett¡¯s additional words. Sigmund¡¯s mind is completely broken due to torture that exceeded the limits of his body. This means that the mental modification applied to him was not created solely by Scarlett¡¯s magic. Unlike other brainwashing magics, there is no way to solve it because it is a special condition created by both magical and physical factors. And Sephia needs to know this information. Dio spoke calmly to Sepia. ¡°sepia. ¡°I also want to save Sigmund.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°But there is no way. ¡°The sadistic grip that Scarlet uses¡­the brainwashing never wears off even if the caster dies.¡± Sepia seemed shocked by Dio¡¯s words and couldn¡¯t say anything. D.O. was a person who somehow found a way no matter what problem he had faced so far. Sepia couldn¡¯t help but be even more shocked when Dio said that there was no way. Even though Dio thought he was heartless, he didn¡¯t have time to comfort Sepia right now. If I had time, I would have convinced her from the beginning and then brought her here. Anyway, even if she makes a decision, Dio will just respect it and follow his own path. Moreover, even if Scarlett is killed now, it is impossible for Sigmund to regain his senses. No, killing Scarlett could put Sigmund¡¯s life in greater danger. If Scarlett loses control, Sigmund will go crazy until he dies. So Dio quickly made a decision. ¡®In the end, the method is¡­¡¯ Dio had no choice but to trust Sepia. I hope you understand what I¡¯m doing. Dio once again made up his mind and spoke clearly to Sepia. ¡°sepia. ¡°I¡¯m going to kill Scarlett from now on.¡± ¡°yes? Then my brother¡­¡± ¡°If Sigmund interferes with me¡­¡± Sreung- ¡°I have no choice but to cut him down too.¡± Dio, who had fully drawn his sword, spoke quietly to Sepia what he could not bear to say. If there was a clear way, Dio would have tried to save Sigmund. However, for Dio, avoiding friction with the Luna Church in order to find a clear way is extremely foolish. I feel sorry for Sepia, but her life is at stake. What have you been fighting for and surviving until now? This is why Dio brought Sephia with him, considering the possibility that Sigmund was by Scarlett¡¯s side. What if there comes a day when Sephia hesitates because of Sigmund at an important moment? Sepia will be confused and unable to act properly like she is now. In that case, it is better to face reality early on. ¡°You decide too. Either follow me and fight, get out of this place, or¡­stop me.¡± Dio stared into Sepia¡¯s eyes and spoke strongly. Dio¡¯s eyes showed his will to respect whatever choice Sepia made, but that he would definitely fight. ¡°I¡­¡± Sephia stuttered because it was not an easy decision. And she also hesitates in making a decision because she fully understands Dio¡¯s position. Leaving the sepia behind, Dio slowly walked forward. In response, Scarlett also raised one hand, and the Paladins who received Scarlett¡¯s signal slowly raised their weapons. As a rough estimate, there are close to 200 paladins. ¡°I¡­¡± Sepia closed her eyes tightly as she looked at Dio¡¯s back, who was fighting hundreds of Paladins, Scarlett, and Sigmund alone. However, Sepia had already made a decision in her mind. The reason she is alive and breathing now. The person who only granted his wish to live is trying to fight his enemies alone. As Sepia ¡®s confused mind slowly began to calm down, a warmth appeared in the air around her, as if representing her feelings. The only family member may lose their life in this fight. but. If you hesitate here, you could lose everyone you care about. The person named Dio was not just someone who needed to return a favor to Sephia. The person who helped him get up on his own. A kind person who laughs with you when you¡¯re happy and comforts you when you¡¯re sad. A person who is like another family that I meet in my new life. That¡¯s exactly what Sepia felt for Dio. Flash! Sepia¡¯s tightly closed eyes opened. One interaction appeared before Dio¡¯s eyes that signaled her resolve. Tiring! [Sepia¡¯s trust has increased by 20.] [Oath of Liberation contractor Sepia¡¯s trust has reached the maximum 100.] Survive as an SSS-class warehouse characte Chapter 184 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 184Episode 184: The saint¡¯s instructions to uncover the secret of a strange stone statue in a forgotten temple and, if that fails, destroy it. Scarlett¡¯s original plan was to arrive at the Forgotten Temple before sunset. After preparing well, I accepted the words of the saint who was carrying out the mission and headed to the forgotten temple. Scarlett was surprisingly more serious about her role as an inquisitor than the other five swords. The reason is not Luna¡¯s faith. This is because he can satisfy his sadistic desires without anyone noticing him using Luna¡¯s name. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Scarlett summoned all of her elite and headed to the forgotten temple. I received a signal from the leader of the Bright Paladins who had been dispatched as an advance party to the Forgotten Temple. Now that the great warrior of Solari has arrived at the Forgotten Temple, he asks for help to come quickly. Accordingly, Scarlett quickly divided her forces, thinking that the rumored great warrior was seven years old and had run away. This was because if he activated the teleportation right now, about half of the troops, including himself, could quickly reach the Forgotten Temple. Scarlett arrived at the hastily forgotten temple and came face to face with Dio, who seemed to have come to meet her. The feeling I felt when I met D.O., whom I had heard about through rumors, was ¡®surprise.¡¯ It was a surprise that could not be felt by other powerful people, including Sigmund. Of all the people Scarlett had ever met, the only one who felt this way was Saint Kaleyna of Luna. ¡®fun.¡¯ So Scarlett was happy. It means that someone who can truly enjoy his sadism has appeared before his eyes. ¡®Next to him¡­¡¯ A woman stands guard next to Dio. The power she felt was too powerful to be ignored, but Scarlett was rather excited. sepia. What kind of trick of fate is this? Scarlett recognized Sepia at a glance and thought to herself. ¡®No one will ever know how long I¡¯ve been waiting for this day.¡¯ Scarlett couldn¡¯t contain her joy and happily fantasized about playing with the sepia. Sepia is called the saint of Solari. And her only blood relative, Sigmund. The joy that arose from meeting them as enemies was a joy Scarlett would never give up. However, the opponents in front of me now are not easy people. Scarlett had already been warned several times by Kaleyna to be careful. The battle fanatic Galetto and the final sword, Paul, were also killed by Dio. But what does that mean? Scarlett recognized at a glance what kind of people Dio and Sephia were. Even if the opponent cannot defeat anyone through force, they are things that one does not have a firm belief in. This soft belief becomes a weakness, and Scarlett was confident that she would never lose to them. Shaking others with her words is Scarlett¡¯s forte and her joy. Therefore, even within the Heretic Questioner, they specialize in torture and mental brainwashing. Even if the provocation didn¡¯t work, it didn¡¯t matter. Because Scarlett didn¡¯t come here alone. There are currently as many as 200 paladins deployed to the forgotten temple. It wasn¡¯t an ordinary paladin either. Those called Rusty Paladins are people brainwashed by Scarlett herself. Because their minds have been altered, they only carry out Scarlett¡¯s orders as their top priority. The fact that she has priority over Luna¡¯s Saint Kaleina means that her standing as a group, not as an individual, is the most outstanding among the five swords. The number of Rusty Paladins under Scarlett reached nearly 500. Even though the emergency signal was received and the current power was only half that, it wasn¡¯t that much of a problem for Scarlett. Rusty Paladin, who is 200 strong, is strong enough to be no match for any knight on the continent. A power that can instantly occupy or destroy not only the Knights Templar but also most city-states. So Scarlett enjoyed her pleasure even more leisurely. Her joy is shaking the other person¡¯s beliefs. Scarlett exchanged a few words with Dio and got to the point. Scarlett burst out laughing at the sight of Sephia getting excited and going wild as soon as Sigmund came to the fore. ¡®It¡¯s exhilarating.¡¯ It was just as he thought. Those who have weak beliefs just by looking at them. It won¡¯t take long to break their spirit. However, unlike Sepia, Dio was not even shaken when he saw Sigmund. Rather, he even stepped forward with his sword as if it had nothing to do with whether Sigmund lived or died. From this, Scarlett could see that Dio had a ruthless personality. This actually made me less interested, but it didn¡¯t matter. ¡®That ruthlessness will be poison to you.¡¯ Scarlett laughed at Dio. Anyway, Scarlett¡¯s interests were stronger in other areas than in Dio. Because the person who was most shaken by Sigmund was Sepia, not Dio. Scarlett smiled as she looked at the shaking Sepia. A leader who cannot understand the feelings of his colleagues and fights only for himself will not last long. Through this incident, the seeds of discord were planted among them. And Scarlett was confident that this would slowly eat away at their lives. Because everyone I¡¯ve met so far has been like that. ¡®I¡¯m going to trample it slowly.¡¯ Scarlett, who was laughing at Sepia who was closing her eyes tightly, looked at Dio, who was burning his fighting spirit alone. If things were to go as she thought, Sephia would not be able to easily participate in the battle. In that case, Scarlett only has to deal with Dio. Just as Scarlett was about to put aside her worries about Sepia and give the order to attack. Faaah! The brilliant light emanating from Sepia¡¯s open eyes. Scarlett narrowed her eyes at this. Are you really planning to fight alongside Dio now? Even though his own flesh and blood are captured by me? ¡®Are you saying the bond is stronger than I thought? Okay¡­let¡¯s see how far that goes.¡¯ Although Sepia felt a change in momentum, Scarlett calmly assessed the situation. Even if Sepia joins right now, it doesn¡¯t change that their forces are strong enough to never be pushed back by them. If each and every one of them is a powerful Rusty Paladin, no matter how great the warrior of the sun is¡­ ¡®You¡¯re going to die here today¡­ hmm?¡¯ Scarlett, who was looking at Dio, flinched for a moment. I thought Scarlett had definitely driven her opponent into danger. But she could see Dio smiling for some reason. * * * [Contractors who have reached the maximum level of trust will receive a special reward.] [Contractor-only attribute ¡®Faith¡¯ is added to Sephia.] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Faith [¡­] The contractee has come to completely trust the master of the oath.

Contractors with this trait receive an additional 20% bonus to all stats when acting with their oath master. A 20% ability bonus is added when following the orders of the Oath Master. The increased abilities of the contract holder also grant half the effect to the holder of the oath. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡®You¡¯ve decided.¡¯ Dio was relieved to see the system window proving Sepia¡¯s resolve. I wondered what would happen if I lost the will to run or fight, but fortunately, such an unfortunate incident did not occur. Rather, Sepia¡¯s reliability has increased and it has even acquired new exclusive features. It was definitely something to be happy about, but I couldn¡¯t just smile, so I quickly hid my smile. This is because Sephia¡¯s decision is equivalent to accepting Sigmund¡¯s death. Moreover, Sigmund ultimately sacrificed himself for Dio and Sepia. Even to show respect to Sigmund, Dio was unable to congratulate Sephia, who had become stronger. ¡°sepia.¡± ¡°I¡¯m OK.¡± Dio nodded at the firm words of Sepia, who had once again made up her mind. Here, unnecessary consolation may cause Sepia to waver in her resolution. Dio no longer worried about Sepia and focused on annihilating the enemy in front of him. ¡°good. ¡°Please give me your blessing.¡± ¡°yes.¡± Sepia immediately stretched out her hand at Dio¡¯s command. Faaah! A crystal ball appeared in Sepia¡¯s open palm. It was Sepia¡¯s new weapon, the ¡®Divine Gem¡¯, taken from the empire¡¯s warehouse. Paang-! The shock wave from the divine jewel spread around, and a change occurred in Dio¡¯s body when it touched it. [The Holy Maiden of the Sun¡¯s exclusive skill ¡®Sun¡¯s Determination¡¯ has been applied.] [All speeds have been increased by 100%.] [All skill effect bonuses have been increased by 50%.] [An additional bonus of 20% is added due to contractor-only characteristics.

This effect was the same as the ¡®Moon Resolution¡¯ used by Kaleina. Although Sepia¡¯s level was lower, its effectiveness was lower than that used by Kaleina, but the gap was narrowed due to the ¡®Faith¡¯ trait. In other words, the current level of Sephia was equivalent to Kaleina¡¯s abilities. ¡®At this level¡­ I think it¡¯s okay to go head-to-head, right?¡¯ Dio smiled to himself as he saw Scarlett glaring at him and Sepia. Is Scarlett on guard? No, Scarlett is still letting down her guard. ¡®There are 200 Rusty Paladins. Honestly, it¡¯s ridiculous power.¡¯ Among the ranks of Paladins, the strongest was the ¡®Mighty Paladin¡¯, reached by Paul Eppenhaus. And Rusty Paladin was a class located just below Mighty Paladin. If you compare it to a knight, it means that it is the same level as the sword master. So it was Dio who couldn¡¯t let down his guard. No matter how strong Dio was, it was not easy to deal with 200 Rusty Paladins. ¡®But¡­¡¯ The situation has completely changed. Sepia¡¯s buff has become even more powerful due to the new characteristics granted through strong trust. The current Dio has become so strong that no matter how many Rusty Paladins there are, there is no problem. Scarlett knew this too, so she shouted without giving him any more time. ¡°Kill them!¡± Papa papap! As soon as Scarlett spoke, Rusty Paladin, who was in the front line, kicked his foot at the same time. Rusty Paladins surrounding Dio in that brief moment. However, their swords began to crack before they even touched Dio¡¯s body. Blah blah blah! Clink! Twenty Rusty Paladins rushed at Dio. Their swords cracked and completely shattered at the same time. ¡°What what?¡± Scarlett couldn¡¯t follow Dio¡¯s movements at all. All that was visible was the moment Dio put the sword he had drawn back into its sheath. Clap- Fuaaaaaa! As Dio fully sheathed his sword, blood spurted out from Rusty Paladin¡¯s neck like a fountain. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 185 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 185Episode 185 When more than twenty Rusty Paladins fell at once, Scarlett was startled and came to her senses. Only then did I realize it. The saint¡¯s advice is to never let down your guard when fighting the great warrior of the sun. ¡°Surround them! ¡°Kill that bitch first!¡± Scarlett drew her dagger and gave instructions to the Paladin. Her judgment was right. The decision was to deal with the support troops that give strong blessings first, avoiding Dio, who has overwhelming force in an all-out war. But there was one thing Scarlett didn¡¯t know. This means that Dio and Sepia are not the only enemies the Luna Church is dealing with. Shuwak ¨C The Rusty Paladins, who were all focused on Dio and Sepia, looked up at the sky at the shadow that had suddenly appeared. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°Since when has it been there?¡± Huge wings that are neatly spread out. Silver scales sparkling in the sun. Scarlett looked in disbelief at the appearance of the final dragon, Adi. Dio, who was the only one who was not embarrassed in the sudden situation, shouted at Adi. ¡°Adi! ¡°Now!¡± ¡°Kyaoooo-!¡± At Dio¡¯s signal, Adi roared with all his might. Dragon Fear attacked the Rusty Paladins who had gathered to attack Dio, and the effect took place immediately. ¡°Ugh!¡± ¡°My body can¡¯t move!¡± ¡°Please save me!¡± The Rusty Paladins who were crowded together had their whole bodies stiffened and were very frightened. The minimum level to resist Dragon Fear is 400. Since the Rusty Paladins¡¯ level was less than 400, they were all affected by Dragon Fear and the battle line was immediately disrupted. ¡°Damn it! Move!¡± There were Scarlett and several elite paladins whose Dragon Fear did not work properly, but their movements were also restricted due to Rusty Paladin¡¯s fear. Suddenly! Thanks to Adi, Rusty Paladin is suffering from status abnormalities of fear and reduced ability. Dio, who did not miss this opportunity, cut down the Rusty Paladin in front of him. ¡°Adi! come here!¡± Dio summoned Adi who used Dragon Fear. Although Dragon Fear is a powerful debuff, as its effect is outstanding, its duration is not very long. So Dio hid Adi from the beginning and instructed him to use Dragon Fear according to his signals. That way, Scarlett and her men won¡¯t be able to deal with Adi. Coo! As soon as Adi heard Dio¡¯s words, he landed next to him and swung his long tail wildly. Boom! The Rusty Paladins, who were distracted by the Dragon Fear, were hit by Adi¡¯s tail and flew away, and in the gap, Dio nodded towards Sepia. ¡°Support me from the air with Sepia Adi.¡± ¡°all right!¡± Sephia, who immediately understood Dio¡¯s meaning, quickly jumped on Adi¡¯s back. Since the numbers are disadvantageous, the most effective position must be occupied first. The best location for Sepia, who is inferior to Dio in close combat, is none other than the sky. As a result, Scarlett¡¯s plan to target Sepia first was essentially foiled. Scarlett does not have any ways to attack the air. However, the creature currently dominating the air was by no means a soft opponent. The strongest life form that ruled the continent long ago. Adi, carrying Sepia, took off once again with great force. ¡°Run as much as you want!¡± ¡°Crara-!¡± Quaaaaa! The flames that spewed out from Adi¡¯s mouth crossed the lines of Rusty Paladin, who were facing chaos. Dragon Breath. Like Dragon Fear, it is a skill said to be exclusive to dragons. ¡°Kwaaaak!¡± ¡°Put out the lights!¡± Adi¡¯s flame heated up the thick armor equipped by Rusty Paladin. Even Hellfire, the most powerful fire magic, is ridiculous compared to Dragon Breath. Even though the power was comparable, dragon breath had characteristics that were different from ordinary flames. Dragon Breath is completely unaffected by fire-extinguishing properties and burns by burning the mana in the air even when surrounding oxygen is blocked. Because of this, even Rusty Paladins could not easily shake off the Dragon Breath once it was attached. ¡°A dragon?¡± Scarlett muttered as she watched Adi spewing flames across the sky. A dragon that was thought to be extinct a long time ago. The existence of the dragon itself was surprising, but the Scarlet and Luna Churches were shocked for a different reason. ¡®Why is the dragon on the side of the sun¡­¡¯ Scarlet gritted her teeth and looked at Dio. The wisest and wisest dragon in history. What does it mean that the dragon chose the sun over the moon? sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Scarlett shook her head to get rid of useless thoughts. There is only one thing that is important to Scarlett now. To judge heretics and appropriate their own abuse. ¡°What are they doing! Expand your sanctuary! ¡°Don¡¯t be swayed by them!¡± Rusty Paladin was not the only member of Scarlett¡¯s forces. Although it feels inadequate compared to the number of paladins, about twenty top priests of the Luna Church are also mixed in with Scarlett¡¯s troops. Woe! At Scarlett¡¯s command, the priests spread Luna¡¯s light, and the light spread around at high speed. Quaaaaa! The light of Luna spread by the priests clashed with the light of the sun used by Sepia in the sky, resulting in a fierce battle of power. No matter how much sepia it was, it could not overpower the sacred power of the twenty priests, and the Rusty Paladins gradually came to their senses. The effect of Dragon Fear has weakened. Kaga River! The three Rusty Paladins close to Dio swung their swords at the same time. Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! Dio quickly countered Rusty Paladin¡¯s fierce concerted attack, but was unable to cut down Rusty Paladin as easily as he did the first time. ¡®The buffs over there are not that easy either.¡¯ Dio already knew about the existence of priests who strengthened the paladins, but it was difficult to deal with them first. Currently, it is difficult to use a strategy that allows priority to hit the priests in the rear. This is because, unlike the Luna Church, Dio was the only one who had the power to directly engage swords on the ground. ¡®Even so, he¡¯s no match for me.¡¯ Dio cut off the arm of the nearest Rusty Paladin and then turned around and kicked the head of the other Rusty Paladin. Squeak ¨C Dio, leaving behind Rusty Paladin, who died instantly with his neck broken, swung his sword sharply once again. Quagwagwang! The shock wave created by Dio¡¯s sword engulfed the opponent who was blocking his path. Even though they received buffs from each other, there is no change in the fact that Dio is ahead of Rusty Paladin in all aspects. Not only did each individual¡¯s physical ability, but the buff effect was also far superior to that used by the priests of the Sepia Luna Church. The only advantage the Luna Church has now is numbers. ¡°Keep running!¡± ¡°Push him until he gets tired!¡± Even though three people fell down in an instant, the troops continued to pour in on Dio. Even though Dio was fighting alone, he was never pushed back by Rusty Paladin¡¯s all-out attack. Quagwagwang! Beobubung! Starting with the full-scale confrontation between Dio and Rusty Paladin, large explosions occurred throughout the forgotten temple. Sephia and Adi, who supported Dio in the air, also engaged in several battles with the Priests. A conflict between two powers without any compromise. The temple, forgotten by their battle, was transformed into an unrecognizable ruin. Quagwang! Kagagak! Dio wasn¡¯t greedy. We took out each and every approaching Rusty Paladin reliably. Paladin is a class that has its own recovery ability. This is a class that quickly recovers and returns to battle if the attack seems a little shallow. So Dio refrained from wide-ranging attacks as much as possible, and because of this, the number of Rusty Paladins still showed no signs of decreasing. In addition, among the Rusty Paladins flocking to Dio was Sigmund, whose mind had been completely transformed. bang! Sigmund¡¯s sword hit the ground where Dio was standing. The force of the strike was so strong that the floor that Sigmund hit collapsed in an instant. ¡®You¡¯re much stronger than before. I could handle it now, but¡­¡¯ Dio, who effortlessly dodged Sigmund¡¯s non-stop attacks, lightly kicked the ground. No matter how much stronger Sigmund has become under Scarlett¡¯s control, he is a ridiculous opponent compared to Sigmund during his days as a judge. puck! Quagwagwang! Dio kicked Sigmund¡¯s chest away from him and cut down Rusty Paladin who was around him again. ¡®Sigmund¡­you are later.¡¯ It would have been easy to aim for Sigmund¡¯s head, but Dio didn¡¯t do it. Fearing Sepia¡¯s hesitation, Dio strongly told her that he had no choice but to kill Sigmund, but Dio did not completely give up on Sigmund. You might not know. You may be able to discover a new miracle in this world, which is completely different from the order board you know. Of course, if it was impossible to find it, he was prepared to cut down Sigmund without hesitation. But not now. Right now, Dio clearly had someone he would prioritize over Sigmund. Liquid-! The moment Dio was about to slaughter the other Rusty Paladins, he quickly lowered his head as he felt death coming from behind. Pit ¨C The razor-blue dagger grazed Dio¡¯s hair and disappeared in an instant. Dio immediately recognized the dagger that created the red trail. ¡°I thought you were ruthless, but it turns out you weren¡¯t.¡± Scarlett, who saw Dio shaking off Sigmund, sneered. The red dagger that attacked Dio was in her hand at some point. ¡®Persitendi¡¯, a relic of the Luna Church. Scarlett was not at all intimidated even though Dio showed overwhelming force. On the contrary, the laughter mocking Dio grew even louder. ¡°After all, you are just like everyone else. ¡°He is a weak human being who is guided by unreasonable beliefs.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Scarlett twirled the dagger and slowly approached Dio. There was a reason why Scarlett was expressing confidence right now. Dio¡¯s movements after cutting down numerous Rusty Paladins were different from the first time. Through this, Scarlett was able to see that Dio had consumed a significant amount of stamina. The only time Scarlett missed Dio¡¯s movements was when the first twenty Rusty Paladins were decapitated. ¡®Even if he is strong now, he is only a little stronger than me.¡¯ Scarlett smiled creepyly at Dio, who was covered in Rusty Paladin¡¯s blood and did not avoid her gaze. ¡®The guy is shaking. ¡®Let¡¯s try to stimulate it a little more here.¡¯ Scarlett snapped her fingers and Sigmund came to her side in an instant. Sigmund was gasping for air after being hit by Dio, but his vitality did not fade in the slightest. ¡°Keu¡­Keuuu.¡± The sound of Sigmund¡¯s heavy breathing surrounded the surroundings, and Scarlett opened her mouth in an excited voice. ¡°Just go on a rampage like before. Now, I want you to cut down the family of your colleague here.¡± ¡°Kaaaa! kill!¡± When Scarlett pushed Sigmund¡¯s back, Sigmund, spewing out violent madness, ran towards Dio. Paka go go go go! Sigmund¡¯s merciless attack shows no trace of restraint. Dio accepted this calmly, but was unable to shake off Sigmund easily. Is it because they are exhausted from the continuous battle? ¡®No, he can¡¯t kill Sigmund!¡¯ Scarlett kicked the ground with confidence. Now was the opportunity. An opportunity to take Dio¡¯s head, which Sigmund was hesitant about. Parbat! Scarlett quickly caught Dio blocking Sigmund¡¯s sword. Dio¡¯s defenseless back. Now, if you swing the dagger and cut off his head! Suddenly! Scarlett smiled maniacally, confident that she had won. But that smile didn¡¯t last long. The sound of being cut was clearly heard. But why? Why was it not the guy¡¯s neck that was cut off¡­ Tongue ¨C Scarlett noticed that her right arm, which was holding the dagger, was floating in the air. The terrible pain that came at the same time. ¡°Kwaaaaaak!¡± Scarlett fell to the floor in searing pain. Pow! A dull sound is heard afterwards. As a result, Sigmund once again got away from Dio and was thrown into a corner of the ground. ¡°Aren¡¯t you misunderstanding something?¡± Dio, who quickly organized the surroundings, opened his mouth to Scarlett in an expression of bewilderment. ¡°You think I can¡¯t kill you because of Sigmund?¡± Only then did Scarlett realize that her thoughts were wrong. Even if Sigmund is blocking it, there is no reason why Dio can¡¯t kill Scarlett. No, I thought wrong from the beginning. Scarlett¡¯s judgment was that she had reached her limit after fighting so many Rusty Paladins. This is wrong. Dio from the beginning¡­. ¡®That¡¯s ridiculous.¡¯ I wasn¡¯t tired at all. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 186 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 186Episode 186 ¡°Kuh-¡± A liquid mixed with saliva and blood flowed from the corner of Sigmund¡¯s mouth, which was covered in a lot of dust. Scarlett¡¯s brainwashing only made Sigmund more ferocious and greatly strengthened his offensive abilities. A simple strike from Dio, who became ridiculously strong thanks to the power of Solari. However, it seemed that Sigmund¡¯s body could not withstand that simple blow. Nevertheless, Sigmund¡¯s madness still seemed to have not subsided and still rose again. This was the scary thing about Scarlett¡¯s mental transformation. Even if broken bones twist your internal organs, it never stops. ¡°Kaa-!¡± Sigmund once again expressed his anger and tried to run toward Dio, but he could not achieve what he wanted. This was because Dio, who knew that he would not give up, took action first. Pap pap pap! The four daggers that Dio quickly threw pierced Sigmund¡¯s hands and feet, and the impact caused Sigmund¡¯s body to fall backwards. Wow ¨C the dagger Dio used was no ordinary dagger. These daggers, named ¡®Purple Snowflake¡¯, have a special effect when four are gathered together. This is the ¡®binding¡¯ effect that blocks the opponent¡¯s movements. Blue light emanated from the four daggers that fixed Sigmund¡¯s body to the floor, and this strongly bound the crazy body of Sigmund. The more he struggled, the more the purple dagger held him. ¡®Sigmund is done for now.¡¯ Dio, confident that Sigmund would not escape easily, turned to Scarlett, whose right arm had been severed. hook-! Unlike Sigmund, Dio¡¯s sword, which did not need to show mercy to Scarlett, was aimed at Scarlett¡¯s neck. Scarlett was clearly defenseless as she was trying to stop the bleeding from her severed right arm. In this state, Scarlett seemed to be completely defeated by Dio¡¯s sword, but the five swords were not an opponent that could be defeated so easily. Scarlett¡¯s red dagger was stuck on the ground along with the clearly severed arm. Dagger disappeared in an instant and reappeared in front of Dio. Keying-! Scarlett¡¯s dagger deflected Dio¡¯s sword. The red light of the dagger instantly transferred to Dio¡¯s swords, and soon a violent explosion occurred. Quagwagwang! The explosion seemed to engulf the opponent, but Dio seemed to have already foreseen this situation and quickly jumped away to escape the explosion. ¡®Persitendi¡­it¡¯s tricky as expected.¡¯ Luna¡¯s holy relic, ¡®Persitendi¡¯, given directly to Scarlett by Kaleina. It was one of the legendary ego weapons of considerable value on the order board, and Dio clearly remembered its abilities and power. ¡°Off!¡± While Persitendi gave her time, Scarlett raised her divine power. Her severed right arm was instantly reattached. ¡°Huh! This guy. ¡°How dare you mock me?¡± Scarlett exhaled harshly, grabbed Persitendi floating in the air as if she were fishing for him, and immediately took an attack stance. Scarlett shows incredible resilience despite not being a Paladin class. ¡®Excluding Persitendi, the visible relics are two¡­ or are they three?¡¯ Dio quickly assessed the status of Scarlett¡¯s equipment and slowly opened his mouth. ¡°Why are you making fun of yourself by letting your guard down? ¡°How come your brilliant brainwashing doesn¡¯t work?¡± Dio grinned and taunted Scarlett, who responded by roughly kicking the ground. Throw in! Luna¡¯s sanctuary is created from Scarlett¡¯s feet. This too was not Scarlett¡¯s individual ability, but the effect of Luna¡¯s holy relic. ¡®It seems like the saintess paid a lot of attention.¡¯ The only five swords remaining in the Luna Church are Scarlet and Aldur. Kaleina clearly mobilized all of the remaining holy relics and handed them over to the remaining five swords. The current Scarlett, who is armed with all kinds of sacred items, would have a healing ability and strength comparable to that of Paul Eppenhaus, but it was not that much of a problem for Dio. Because Dio also had an item as great as Luna¡¯s holy relic. Ka-ga-ga-ga-gang! Papa papaak! Scarlett¡¯s quick attack matches the Persitendi¡¯s short sword length. Scarlett¡¯s speed, which combines her personal abilities with the power of the relics, is so incredible that the eye cannot keep up with it. However, Dio¡¯s movements easily take away Scarlett¡¯s attacks. Rather, the longer the battle continued, the more Scarlett¡¯s wounds increased. Kagak-! Pipipipit! ¡°shit! ¡°Why isn¡¯t it right!¡± Scarlett couldn¡¯t understand at all. It was Scarlett who deliberately took advantage of Persitendi¡¯s strengths and engaged in very close combat. The closer the two opponents in a duel are, the better Persitendi, who has a shorter sword, will have an advantage. However, as if he were laughing at Scarlett¡¯s thoughts, Dio effortlessly dodged Scarlett¡¯s attacks or parried them with simple movements. Shush-! Swish! Persitendi left Scarlett¡¯s hand and disappeared again. Persitendi appeared behind Dio in an instant and fired at his neck. It was clearly an invisible, irregular attack aimed at a blind spot, but Dio easily ducked his head to avoid it. His actions did not stop with evasion, but also led to a counterattack that cut down Persitendi and Scarlett at the same time. Ting-kwakwak! Scarlett summoned Persitendi to protect herself again, but Dio¡¯s sword pierced Persitendi¡¯s defenses and cut into Scarlett¡¯s body. ¡°Aaaah!¡± * * * Persitendi¡¯s special effect was that it was a weapon that not only moved on its own like other ego weapons, but also had its own spatial movement. So, Persitendi had an absurd effect that allowed it to target the opponent¡¯s back even if it left Scarlett¡¯s hand¡­ but for some reason, this advantage of Persitendi was of no use to the opponent. Through this, Scarlett has only one thought. ¡®You see Persitendi¡¯s movements and avoid them? No, that¡¯s impossible. That movement feels like¡­¡¯ Scarlett was horrified. I was able to be sure of this through several battles. That what you felt was never an illusion. Watching and responding to the opponent¡¯s movements is completely different from knowing how to move and acting first. ¡®Does this mean that the sun god can even see the future?¡¯ Scarlett has no choice but to believe that Dio¡¯s ability is the power of Solari. But she was wrong. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the first place, Dio has all the information about Scarlett entered into his head to the point where he memorizes her attack patterns. ¡°Is there anything else I can show you?¡± Dio¡¯s voice awakens Scarlett¡¯s thoughts. As a result, Scarlett retreated out of Dio¡¯s attack range. Dio paid no attention to Scarlett¡¯s terrified appearance and walked towards her. ¡°Don¡¯t come too close!¡± Scarlett shouted as she aimed her dagger at Sigmund, who was blocked by the dagger. However, Scarlett¡¯s threats had no effect on Dio. ¡°You still don¡¯t know? Now that Sepia has made up her mind, I¡­¡± ¡°Ugh!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t hesitate.¡± Throw in! The moment Dio kicks the ground as if to prove that it was not just words. A group of Rusty Paladins started attacking Dio again. The Rusty Paladins were unable to intervene due to Scarlett and Dio¡¯s huge battle. However, when he saw Scarlett being pushed back, he joined the fight again. Let¡¯s go! Suddenly! However, there was no way Rusty Paladin could deal with Dio, who even Scarlett couldn¡¯t do. Their limbs were torn off by Dio¡¯s attack. Nevertheless, Rusty Paladin attacked Dio without the slightest hesitation. Their will to risk even death for their master, Scarlett. ¡°Whoa, I¡¯m a little tired after all.¡± Dio looked wearily at the Rusty Paladins who were constantly attacking him. Scarlett¡¯s eyes lit up at this. ¡®As expected, he¡¯s not tired!¡¯ It made no sense for him not to waste any stamina against himself, who was armed with 200 Rusty Paladins and Luna¡¯s holy relics. ¡®It¡¯s subtle, but his arms are shaking.¡¯ Scarlett, who noticed that Dio¡¯s confrontation with Rusty Paladin was not the same as before, glanced at the pendant hanging around his neck. Luna¡¯s holy relic ¡®Harmonia¡¯. It was thanks to this relic that he was able to teleport to the forgotten temple with a large group of 200 people. Thanks to the cooldown, it couldn¡¯t be used continuously, but now a considerable amount of time has passed. I was able to summon Rusty Paladin from afar through Harmonia. ¡°You monster! But your bravado is over now!¡± Scarlett stepped forward, lifting the Harmonia hanging around her neck. The only way to win is now. ¡°I recognize your mental strength! ¡°But you are alone!¡± Sepia and the dragon pouring magic in the air were not a problem for Scarlett. Scarlett decided to pour everything she had into Dio, as she could kill those two at any time if she only dealt with Dio in front of her. Paaaaat! Harmonia sparkled, and as if reacting to this, numerous pillars of blue light appeared around Dio. The beings that appeared from the pillar of light were none other than the new Rusty Paladins. As a follow-up, Rusty Paladin, who was heading towards the forgotten temple, was summoned through Harmonia. ¡°Kill him!¡± The Rusty Paladins who entered the battle at Scarlett¡¯s shout attacked Dio without the slightest hesitation. There are as many as 100 new Rusty Paladins she has summoned. When combined with the number of Rusty Paladins still remaining, Scarlett¡¯s power has never decreased compared to the beginning. However, Scarlett clearly saw with her own eyes that the other person was exhausted. And I was sure. The longer the fight drags on, the more advantageous it is for the side with more numbers. Kaga River! Kwagwagwagwagwang! Was Scarlett¡¯s judgment right? Unlike the first time, Dio was unable to cut down the crowd of Rusty Paladins at once. As the siege gradually narrowed, dozens of Rusty Paladins¡¯ swords swung at Dio¡¯s head at the same time. Huh! Quagwagwagwang! The moment Rusty Paladin¡¯s sword was about to reach Dio, numerous shields fell from the sky. The huge shields with the sun symbol on them blocked all of Rusty Paladin¡¯s swords that attacked Dio from all directions. ¡°Tch, you¡¯re disturbing me!¡± Scarlett took her eyes off Dio hidden behind the shield and looked up at the sky. Sepia can be seen concentrating on the dragon¡¯s back. The holy shield was clearly Sepia¡¯s protective magic, and Scarlett shouted at the priest who was keeping her in check. ¡°What are they doing! Either remove that shield or drop that bitch!¡± At Scarlett¡¯s command, the Rusty Paladins and Priests attacked the shield with all their might. Kaga River! Damn it! The shield protecting Dio began to crack under the attack of more than a hundred paladins. As a result, Scarlett became even more confident of victory. The fact that Sepia provided unreasonable support clearly proves that a crisis has come to this guy too. Pachang! Rusty Paladin¡¯s intensified attacks eventually shattered the shield protecting Dio like a glass window. Dio¡¯s face seen through the fragmented shield. At this, Scarlett shouted in great excitement. ¡°Kyahaha! It¡¯s over for you too¡­ He¡¯s exhausted and there¡¯s nothing left in his way. But why? Is it not possible to see the slightest trace of exhaustion in Dio¡¯s reappearance? Are you saying that he was able to recover in that short period of time? However, the only thing the Holy Lady of Solari can do to help him is to use defensive magic¡­. Woe! Anxiety filled Scarlett¡¯s mind. As if that anxiety became reality, a flash of light emitted from Dio¡¯s body. Quagagagagagagagag! Shock waves spreading around Dio¡¯s body. And then, Dio¡¯s foot stance. Flash! Dio¡¯s sword flashed, and the more than 100 Rusty Paladins surrounding him had their heads blown off at once. ¡°How?¡± It¡¯s something I can¡¯t understand. Clearly, this battle was a war of attrition. I wonder whether Scarlett¡¯s troops will decrease first or Dio¡¯s health will decrease first. However, Dio¡¯s physical strength did not change from the beginning. ¡°surprised?¡± Dio, who quickly cleared up the surroundings, approached the confused Scarlett and threw something. Tongue ¨C An empty bottle fell in front of Scarlett. ¡°You¡¯re not the only one confident in your skills.¡± Scarlett became even more confused by Dio¡¯s incomprehensible story. Anyway, Dio grinned and began to personally explain to Scarlett. The identity of the legendary potion he had just taken. ¡°This is called an elixir.¡± When Scarlett looked at Dio in confusion, Dio raised the corners of his mouth. ¡°Who are you bragging about in front of?¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 187 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 187Episode 187: The next most valuable potion after the Mythic grade ¡®Strange Potion¡¯ is none other than Elixir. Calliope created her own elixir to treat her injuries and asked Dio for help, but Dio did not need it. This is because the imperial warehouse contained finished elixir, not the ingredients needed to make elixir. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Elixir] Grade: Legend Classification: Potion Effect: Recovers both HP and MP. If the user has any physical defects, they will all be restored. Recovers all status abnormalities under 8 circles. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Elixir, which appears in various games, including Order Board, has the best effect among the potions that players can use. As always in various gaming media, elixirs have always had the best place as recovery items, and the order board was no exception. It not only provides physical regeneration that only top-level clerics can use, but also restores both stamina and mana. This meant that it also restored the player¡¯s vitality and energy. So, Dio was able to take out over a hundred Rusty Paladins in an instant in the same condition as the first time. ¡°No way! ¡°Elixir?¡± ¡°why? ¡°I think you might have started a fight without even taking a potion?¡± Scarlett could not hide her embarrassment at Dio¡¯s words, treating elixir as an ordinary potion. Elixir was not something that could be easily obtained even from the Luna Church. Not only is it not possible for anyone to manufacture it, but the materials are also not easily available. It was no exaggeration to say that the value of a bottle of elixir was the same as Luna¡¯s holy relic. This means that it is an object that has been revealed only a few times in history. But how can that man have it? ¡°I was thinking of taking my time, but what should I do? ¡°I had the same thought as you.¡± ¡°What what?¡± ¡°Is this all the Paladins brought with them? ¡°I believe there is a little more left.¡± ¡°!!¡± Scarlett realized one thing after hearing Dio¡¯s words. The guy already knew. That the 200 Rusty Paladins who arrived at the Forgotten Temple first were not the only ones. So even though the elixir could be taken at any time, it was not used. ¡°It¡¯s a shame with this level of experience, but we¡¯ll deal with the rest later.¡± ¡°this person¡­!¡± Scarlett was filled with unbearable anger at the fact that she had been fooled by her partner¡¯s tricks. But even if Scarlett was angry, there was nothing she could do now. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even Rusty Paladin, who had suffered hundreds of mental attacks through hostage taking, and Scarlett herself, armed with Luna¡¯s holy relic, could not withstand one man named Dio. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing more to show, it should be over now, right?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Even though Scarlett herself knew that the whole situation was unfavorable, she refused to admit it. Because it is always you who inflicts abuse on the other person. There was still a lot of fun left for Scarlett. Scarlett¡¯s belief is to break people¡¯s beliefs through sadism. The world is still full of people who don¡¯t even understand their subject to give sadism to. That¡¯s why Scarlett couldn¡¯t die here. ¡°You¡¯re the one who dies!¡± Scarlett, caught in the madness of optics, cried out and tried to run towards Dio, but the sword that Dio wielded was much faster than Scarlett¡¯s speed. Awesome speed that doesn¡¯t even give Persitendi time to protect Scarlett. Suddenly! Dio, who had nothing more to gain from Scarlett, wasted no time in beheading her. Scarlett¡¯s head flies high in the sky with an angry expression on her face. Scarlett, a five-handed sword who believes that only sadism is the joy of life. The last moment that came to her was a gruesome death without even the slightest pleasure in sadism. * * * After Scarlett¡¯s head was cut off, only a small number of Luna Church troops remained. The Rusty Paladins not only saw Dio¡¯s strength before their eyes, but did not run away even though they knew of the death of their master, Scarlett. Sasashak ¨C The remnants continued to attack Dio even though it was a battle they had no chance of winning, and in the end, every single one of them lost their lives to Dio¡¯s sword. Like a moth jumping into a flame. This was a characteristic of Scarlett¡¯s mental remodeling. Even though Scarlett is dead, the brainwashing she suffered does not go away. Only the final command to kill Dio controlled Rusty Paladin. ¡®I¡¯m glad I¡¯m comfortable.¡¯ To Dio, these people were all experience points anyway, so he had no intention of keeping them alive. Through this battle, Dio was able to gain a significant level. It¡¯s not just the experience gained from killing Scarlett and Rusty Paladin. A ¡®strange potion¡¯ guarded by the last dragon Adi. Dio had told Adi that he would carefully protect the treasures left by his mother, but he used them without delay. I clearly learned through this battle that Adi¡¯s strength was very helpful, but I decided that it was better to use the strange potion myself. Thanks to this, Dio¡¯s current level is 479. ¡®If we go into a full-scale war with the Holy Kingdom, we can achieve level 500.¡¯ Now that Solari¡¯s blessing has been applied, Dio is in no way inferior to Kaleina. However, Dio¡¯s goal was to reach max level as much as possible before encountering Kaleina. The bonus stat rewards given to players who reached max level were significant, and they need to do their best to prepare for the final chapter. ¡®Now all that¡¯s left is¡­¡¯ After briefly checking the status window, Dio raised his head and looked at one place. In his gaze, only the last person left except Sepia and Adi. Sigmund is bound by a purple dagger. He didn¡¯t stop like Rusty Paladin, who attacked Dio until the end. Dio sighed as he saw Sigmund trying to somehow shake off his restraints and carry out Scarlett¡¯s last command. ¡®Same goes for Sigmund.¡¯ Dio killed Scarlett as soon as possible and kept her alive until the end, hoping that Sigmund¡¯s brainwashing would be lifted. However, as I first thought, Sigmund¡¯s mind was completely broken. Dio slowly approached Sigmund, knowing that the only way to help him was through death. ¡°Kaa-¡± Sigmund starts to get more excited because of Dio coming closer. Perhaps because of this, the purple daggers piercing Sigmund¡¯s arms and legs began to shake violently. Sigmund¡¯s struggle, completely unconcerned about his body being torn apart. In response, Dio slowly raised his sword. Sigh ¨C The moment Dio was about to swing his sword, a chain of light surrounded Sigmund. The shining chain bound Sigmund tightly to prevent him from going any further. Flap- boom! Afterwards, Adi landed next to Dio, and Sephia came down from Adi¡¯s wide back and stood facing Sigmund. I tried to deal with it without Sepia looking, but it was too late. Dio thought that since this had come to an end, it would be a good idea to step aside for a moment so that Sepia could say her final goodbyes comfortably. ¡°Do not go.¡± Sepia¡¯s voice catches Dio, who is taking a step back. Dio looked at Sigmund next to her in silence. Sepia, which Sigmund sacrificed himself to protect. Even though that precious person was in front of him, his eyes were only focused on Dio. ¡°Kruk-¡± Silence continued for a while except for the groans of Sigmund, who was chained up. Eventually, Sephia, who must have been in a miserable mood, opened her mouth, licking her dry lips. ¡°Oppa¡­.¡± ¡°Krrrr-¡± Sigmund still doesn¡¯t respond to Sepia¡¯s voice. The meeting we had both longed for. In a typical movie or drama, Sigmund might have come to his senses momentarily due to such a dramatic encounter. But unfortunately, the reality was that the two siblings were not given any mercy. In response, Sepia asked Dio with a face that looked as if she would burst into tears if he was touched even slightly. ¡°Is there really¡­is there really no way?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Even before Sepia¡¯s question, Dio was constantly thinking about ways to save Sigmund. But there was still no way. Dio once tried to save someone who had been brainwashed by Scarlet like Sigmund during the Order Board era. At that time, Dio was working hard for the Luna Church, so he asked Scarlett for a favor. In the process, we learned more accurately about Scarlett¡¯s brainwashing abilities. Scarlett said that a person who has already suffered mental remodeling cannot be relieved by any means. Even Scarlett herself, who did the brainwashing, said it was impossible. It is said that even if the brainwashing is removed and the damaged brain is restored, the memories and spirit contained in the brain can never be restored. In other words, even if saved, it is no different from a living corpse with an empty consciousness. Dio, who thought there was no need to tell Sephia about the terrible conversation he had with Scarlett, just shook his head. There¡¯s no need to say out loud that you can¡¯t get it. However, perhaps sensing Dio¡¯s feelings, Sepia bit her lip tightly and stretched out her hand to Sigmund, opening her mouth in a trembling voice. ¡°¡­I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m late.¡± Sepia caressing Sigmund¡¯s unreasonable face. Sephia tried to put on a strong expression, but this was not an easy task in the face of the death of her beloved family. Sepia tears flowing down my cheeks. Sephia smiled. I didn¡¯t want to face Sigmund¡¯s last moments with a sad face. ¡°My life that my brother protected¡­ I will cherish it.¡± After Sepia finished speaking, a dazzling light enveloped Sigmund. Dio closed his eyes for a moment due to the glare, and in that brief moment, Sigmund disappeared. There was only sparkling powder scattered where Sigmund was, and Sepia was sitting down in front of him, shedding tears she had been holding back. ¡°¡­.¡± Dio remained silent, not daring to comfort Sepia¡¯s sadness. Unlike Dio, Adi, who was watching all of this, stuck his head towards Sephia. Adi, a hatchling, was left alone as soon as she opened her eyes. Is it because of the sense of kinship with losing a family member? Adi wordlessly pressed his face against Sephia¡¯s face. In response to Adi¡¯s comfort, Sephia stroked Adi. ¡°thank you. ¡°It¡¯s okay now.¡± Sephaa wiped her tears with her sleeve and stood up. It seemed like I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off the empty space left by Sigmund¡¯s disappearance, but that was only for a moment. Sephia took a deep breath as if she was trying to regain her strength. Even though her only blood relative passed away, Sephia did not leave this behind. Sepia turned her head to look at Dio and opened her mouth. ¡°Go back.¡± Dio, who saw Sepia¡¯s strong eyes, nodded at her words. Actually, I don¡¯t know if Sephia¡¯s heart will be okay. But Dio was sure of this one thing. Sephia is a stronger person than she realizes. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 188 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 188Episode 188: A large festival was held in the imperial capital to welcome the hero who returned from the east, so many people were still staying. However, the festival did not last very long due to the unusual atmosphere that an all-out war with the Luna Church would break out in the future. The afterglow of the festival that took place in the Imperial Capital seemed to have completely disappeared. But that only lasts for a moment. Everyone who stayed in the imperial capital was very excited about an incident that happened this morning. Perhaps the imperial capital of the empire was even more excited than when the festival took place. ¡°I saw it clearly with my own two eyes!¡± ¡°You have to be able to believe it. ¡°A dragon?¡± In places where people gathered, whether it was a square or a bar, there was only one topic heard. Dragon. The fact that a legendary being only heard of in old stories appeared in the ecliptic was an event that people could not believe. ¡°Where did the dragon appear?¡± ¡°No, well. ¡°He flew up from under the imperial family or something.¡± ¡°I heard that a friend of mine works in the Imperial Guard and that the Imperial Garden is not in complete chaos right now?¡± There were quite a few people who witnessed the moment the dragon roamed the sky. Nevertheless, the people of the imperial capital did not easily believe this. Rather than saying that a dragon broke through the floor of the imperial palace and flew into the sky, the story that the group ate breakfast by mistake and wasted nothing is more convincing. ¡°Did I really dream?¡± ¡°I guess so. ¡°What did you eat yesterday?¡± ¡°me? ¡°We had a quick meal here at the Dolphin Inn.¡± ¡°I knew it would happen. I guess last night¡¯s menu went bad. ¡°Everyone says I¡¯m crazy.¡± ¡°I wasn¡¯t particularly sick¡­¡± ¡°Seeing something in vain is proof that it hurts.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Useless conversations took place here and there, and people questioned those who said they had seen a dragon. Then, the actual witnesses end up not believing what they saw. ¡°But if a dragon really appeared, would it be a good dragon? ¡°Is it a bad dragon?¡± ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± ¡°Why are there so many stories about dragons? ¡°It¡¯s a story about a hero defeating a dragon that kidnapped a princess, or a story about a hero riding a dragon and fighting the devil.¡± Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Well¡­why are you thinking such useless thoughts? ¡°There¡¯s no way a dragon really appeared.¡± A man with a bushy beard must have been tired of hearing absurd stories about a dragon appearing, so he jumped into the middle of the square and shouted loudly. ¡°Everyone, come to your senses! ¡°What if we worry about illusions that don¡¯t even exist?¡± A man who seems to take great pride in being a member of the empire. He had vast aspirations. It is an aspiration that one day one will achieve great success in the empire. That¡¯s why the man was impressed by Dio¡¯s speech. He thought that one day, like Dio, he would announce his devotion to the empire in front of people. And he thought that this very moment was the moment he had been waiting for. ¡°We too must show up for the Solari and the Empire! This means that you must always be alert to face the great enemy!¡± A man begins his grand speech while remembering D.O. Did he also want to become a hero? Or was it just a man¡¯s wish for attention? Whatever it was, people¡¯s eyes began to focus on the man. ¡°Hmm. For your information, this body will volunteer to join the imperial army starting tomorrow¡­ Where are you looking now?¡± The man tried to tell people about his aspirations, but he couldn¡¯t speak properly from the middle. This is because he saw that people¡¯s eyes were directed somewhere else, not towards him. And that too with an expression of complete disbelief. Flap ¨C The wind that blows with the flapping of huge wings. At this, the man looked up at the sky and had the same expression as the others. ¡°It¡¯s de Dragon!¡± ¡°Dragon? ¡°Is it a real dragon?¡± ¡°Run away too!¡± Starting with someone¡¯s shout, the imperial capital immediately fell into confusion. Could it be that the dragon that appears in front of you is a vicious dragon that eats people and kidnaps princesses? no. Originally, humans had a tendency to run away when faced with situations that were difficult to understand and difficult to judge. However, the dragon that appeared in the square did not do anything further. People watched the dragon from afar with anxious feelings as it simply raised its head nobly. Chaos that might erupt at any moment. However, it only took a moment for this confusion to turn into enthusiasm. This was because people saw a familiar face on the dragon¡¯s back. ¡°Has everyone eaten?¡± Dio¡¯s Korean greeting to people who were looking blank. People were excited about this. Because the one who rode the legendary dragon was none other than the great warrior of Solari. These words prove that the dragon that appeared in the empire is a strong ally who will defeat the demon king along with the warrior. * * * Thanks to Adi, Dio was able to return to the imperial capital quickly, but he was unable to move easily because of the people who warmly welcomed him. Originally, I was going to go straight to the imperial palace where the emperor was staying. However, it was necessary to adapt the dragon Adi to people¡¯s eyes, so it was brought down to the square. The very existence of Adi, the last dragon who will be active in the future fight against the Luna Church, was enough to give people hope. Dio¡¯s purpose was to make Solari¡¯s missionary activities more active through that effect. A warrior who tamed a dragon. Wasn¡¯t he truly the chosen one? People would think this when they saw dragons that they had only heard about in legends. The god chosen by the dragon believes in Solari, not Luna. It was good that Dio arrived at the square for propaganda purposes, but he couldn¡¯t think deeply about what happened afterwards. There were so many people that the crowd gathered to the point where Adi could not even spread his wings properly. It was no exaggeration to say that Dio, the Great Master of Solari, was already the most famous person in the Empire. Thanks to Dio¡¯s reputation, people instinctively felt that the unfamiliar dragon was safe. So more and more people were flocking to see it up close. ¡°I want to get out of here. ¡°It¡¯s too complicated.¡± Even the dragon Adi must have been disgusted by the overwhelming crowd of people, so he grumbled to Dio. As a result, Dio felt the need to leave because Adi, who was stressed, could act unruly, but it was not easy to do so. ¡°Hero! ¡°How did you tame the dragon?¡± ¡°Saint, please look at me!¡± ¡°Hey, don¡¯t push me from behind!¡± They call D.O. a hero and people cheer without hesitation. This scene was like reporters trying to cover a superstar. You may be able to force your way through, but if you force yourself to do things that way, people may get hurt. In any case, each of these are valuable forces that will strengthen the power of faith, so they cannot be ignored or treated carelessly. The people who rescued Dio in this helpless situation were none other than Dio¡¯s companions who came together with other people. ¡°Dio, this way!¡± ¡°sepia!¡± Roberto and Eveline appeared through the crowd of people. With the appearance of those two, the attention that had been focused on Dio began to disperse. However, it is still not easy to leave the place with the large Adi. Accordingly, Dio gave appropriate instructions to Roberto, who approached him. ¡°It just worked out well. ¡°You get people¡¯s attention.¡± ¡°yes?¡± ¡°Oh, this is Adi. ¡°He is a colleague who will be with us from now on, so we should introduce him to His Majesty the Emperor.¡± ¡°Wow, it¡¯s a real dragon, right?¡± Roberto and Evelyn, like everyone else, were amazed at meeting the dragon, but since they could not leisurely exchange greetings here, they immediately followed Dio¡¯s orders. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯ll be passing by for a moment.¡± ¡°Aaaah! ¡°Mr. Roberto!¡± ¡°Ugh, don¡¯t push!¡± The women screamed louder than they had welcomed Dio at Roberto¡¯s words. The women followed Roberto so as not to miss the opportunity to see him up close. Thanks to this, nearly half of the people gathered turned away from Dio. ¡°Come on, our hero is tired. Say hello later. ¡°Please move back for a moment.¡± Following Robert, Evelyn summoned conscious Shadow Armor and formed a wall. More than ten shadow armors at the same time. They were not pushed away at all by the crowds of people. Rather, every time the Shadow Armor moved slowly, the people gathered were pushed out. Only then did Adi have the space to freely spread his wings. ¡°Fly Adi!¡± Flap-! As soon as Dio¡¯s words fell, Adi spread his wings wide. Adi immediately kicked the ground as Dio and Sepia climbed onto his back. Shughak-! A dragon soaring toward the sky. What creature could be nobler than me? As Adi¡¯s silver scales reflected the sunlight, people shouted at the fascinating sight. A stylish exit that goes well with an unexpected appearance. The first debut of the dragon Adi in the world of humans left a strong impression that people would never forget. * * * ¡°Phew¡­what on earth were you thinking, showing up in the middle of the square?¡± ¡°Where did you find the dragon? ¡°Can I try it too?¡± Dio and his companions gather again in the imperial palace. Roberto and Evelyn quickly began asking Dio the questions they had been curious about earlier. ¡°It¡¯s all for the greater good. ¡°Adi is in the garden with Sephia right now, so why not ask him a favor?¡± ¡°Is your name Adi? ¡°I should go and say hello.¡± Evelyn runs to the garden in awe at Dio¡¯s words. Roberto could only sigh at the sight of Evelyn¡¯s natural appearance. ¡°I saw earlier that there was a large stone statue on the dragon¡¯s back¡­ Is that why you were away?¡± ¡°okay. I¡¯m keeping it out of sight of others. ¡°How to use it¡­ hasn¡¯t been decided yet.¡± Dio postponed the issue of the Death Knight statue for a while. Because right now, there was a matter to deal with by meeting the emperor. ¡°And¡­oh no.¡± Dio was about to tell the story of Sepia and Sigmund, who happened in the forgotten temple, but stopped. Isn¡¯t there a need to relive the painful memories that Sephia is overcoming on her own in order to comfort her? Dio, who thought it would be better to say such sensitive matters to Sepia himself, pushed Roberto¡¯s back, who was making an incomprehensible expression. ¡°I have business with the emperor. You too, go and say hello to Adi. I¡¯ll call you once the story is settled. ¡°Just wait until then.¡± ¡°All right.¡± * * * The one who greeted Dio, who arrived alone at Avalon Palace, was a very angry-looking Emperor Freud. Dio accepted the emperor¡¯s nagging without much resistance because the situation was likely to make the emperor angry. ¡°I don¡¯t think I can control you, but I can still tell you a little bit.¡± ¡°sorry. your majesty. ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell you about the dragon waking up because it was unexpected.¡± Dio gave an appropriate reason, mixing truth and lies. ¡°It was an urgent situation as we had no choice but to follow Solari¡¯s revelation and the path led by the dragon. ¡°I hope you count.¡± Hearing Dio¡¯s words that were like a clearing water, the emperor sighed heavily and raised his head. ¡°Okay. Now that you¡¯ve confirmed the temple of the Dragon and Solari, do you have anything to say to me?¡± Although he always seemed to try to stop Dio, his opponent was the emperor who stood at the top of the empire. The emperor¡¯s keen eyes had already realized that Dio had more to do than just report on a forgotten temple. At this, Dio looked quite serious and began to rhyme. ¡°I think we need to prepare for war.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 189 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 189Episode 189 Dio¡¯s suggestion to the emperor was not about whether or not to go to war with the Luna Church. It literally meant that we had to prepare for war right now so that we could enter war at any time. Looking at the way the continent is progressing, an all-out war between the Empire and the Luna Church is an inevitable fate. But Dio knew. The fact is that the emperor will not be in a hurry to prepare for this war. The emperor that Dio saw when playing the Order Board has always been like that. ¡®The emperor might want to watch the situation a little longer. Even within the imperial family, there would not have been unanimous support for war with the Luna Church.¡¯ Dio, who was having a private meeting with the emperor, slowly gathered his thoughts and opened his mouth. ¡°We need to rally our troops. ¡°Everything that the current empire can muster.¡± ¡°You sound like you¡¯re saying a war is about to start.¡± The emperor frowned at Dio¡¯s words. This was because the emperor¡¯s thoughts were different from Dio¡¯s thoughts. ¡°I have no intention of avoiding a fight with Luna either. But I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to be in such a hurry¡­¡± ¡°The Saint of Luna has been complacent in her efforts to kill me. But they all failed.¡± Dio brought out the words he had in mind to persuade the emperor. Kaleina has a pattern of behavior to get what she wants. They act passively at first, but when things don¡¯t go their way, they attack them head on with everything they have. ¡°Now Kaleyna won¡¯t look back. Once preparations are complete, we will immediately launch an all-out offensive. To the empire I am a part of.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°The Luna Church will not officially declare war on the Empire. ¡°They will use the holy war as an excuse to launch a surprise war.¡± ¡®Declaration of war¡¯, a rule implicitly established between countries. However, when Dio pointed out that this did not apply to the Luna Church, the emperor¡¯s eyes slightly wavered. ¡°It¡¯s too late by then. So we need to prepare right now. ¡°You can counterattack at any time¡­ or we can hit first.¡± As the emperor¡¯s attitude gradually became more accepting, Dio began to recite information that would help the emperor feel more at ease. ¡°I can understand certain aspects of the Luna Church¡¯s military size and their location and major facilities. ¡°If we move accordingly, we will be able to steer the future war to our advantage.¡± ¡°It would be impossible to steal the Luna Church¡¯s military secrets even with the power of the Empire¡­ Are you saying it would be possible for you?¡± ¡°of course. ¡°I¡­¡± The emperor was quite surprised to hear that military secrets could be stolen at any time. It was natural that the emperor could not even guess how that was possible. The Luna Church¡¯s military actions are something we¡¯ve seen countless times since Dio cooperated with them and progressed through the Order version of the story. But I couldn¡¯t tell these things to the emperor. In response, Dio just repeated the same thing as always. ¡°Because he is the great warrior of the sun.¡± * * * Upon hearing Dio¡¯s persuasion that war must be prepared immediately, the emperor did as he said and immediately summoned troops. An imperial decree issued by the imperial emperor. This was all handed down to the empire and allied countries connected by mutual defense treaties. Neighboring countries were filled with anxiety due to the emperor¡¯s determination to quickly go to war. The nations that began to follow the Solari readily responded to the Emperor¡¯s request. In this way, troops were gathered one by one, and supplies needed for the war were moved to various parts of the Allies. Preparations were not only made by countries responding to the imperial decree. Those who were wary of the conflict between Solari and Luna and those who did not want war also prepared for the big war that would break out in the future. It was only natural that even if a weak country that was not at all prepared to fight claimed neutrality, it would be of no use to a huge power. Just like that, war clouds began to hover over the continent. The emperor figured out the troops the empire could mobilize and movements across the continent and held meetings with ministers all day. According to what I heard from D.O., he said he had about a month to spare. Although the Luna Church had in mind the possibility of launching a surprise war, they would also need a period of preparation. So the empire also set a deadline for supplying its troops accordingly. After more time passes, Dio and the emperor¡¯s plan is to give up on the countries that did not respond to the edict and use the gathered troops to compete against the Luna Church. To this end, the emperor did his best to gather troops. It¡¯s exactly one month. I don¡¯t know if the final war will really begin in a month when everything will be decided as Dio said. For some reason, the emperor had an ominous feeling that something big would happen before the month ended. * * * When it comes to choosing the most sacred ¡®holy place¡¯ on the continent, people unanimously say: Of course, it is called Atra, the Holy Kingdom of the Luna Church. In particular, the Great Temple of Atra, where Saint Kaleina resides, was a work of art more brilliant and beautiful than any other building. Especially on days when the sun was setting and the moonlight was shining through the stained glass, Daejinjeon was truly a place worthy of being in the center of the city. But tonight, Atra was different from usual. Is it because it¡¯s particularly cloudy? Today, the night sky of Atra was filled with darkness without a single trace of moonlight. Even so, the inside of the main shrine was strangely dark, as if not a single candle was lit. Perhaps because of that influence, the image that always exuded a dignified and sacred atmosphere was nowhere to be seen. No, it¡¯s not just the darkness. Tentacles clinging to the vast wall of the main temple. The main temple, surrounded by sticky tentacles, was enough to look like the devil¡¯s castle. And the Saint Hall located inside the main shrine. Even the Saint¡¯s Hall, considered the most sacred place, had ominous tentacles swarming from its entrance. Squeak ¨C The Saint Hall opened with an appalling noise. And then one person inside slowly walked out. Ttukpuk ¨C Ttuk ¨C The saintess of Luna who is nobler and more sacred than anyone else. Kaleina stopped walking and closed her eyes as if she was deep in thought. Unlike the Great Hall and the Saint Hall, which had an ominous atmosphere, she still maintained her dignity. But it only seems that way for a moment. As Kaleyna slowly opened her eyes, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Kaleyna¡¯s eyes turned black where the whites should have been. Kaleina, who should be more sacred than anyone else, looked covered in profanity. And behind her, kneeling were countless paladins who didn¡¯t care what Kaleina looked like. As if they were worshiping their newly born saint. Kaleyna slowly opened her mouth, staring into empty space. [- ¨C -.] The unmistakable voice of Kaleyna. However, the words coming out of Kaleyna¡¯s throat were an unknown language that could not be understood anywhere on the continent. As soon as Kaleina spoke, all the paladins who were kneeling stood up. Holy knights who protect Luna. However, they no longer had an appearance that did not fit the word ¡®saint¡¯. Even the Death Knights would be less sinister than them. The sight of these paladins moving under Kaleina¡¯s orders was truly terrifying. An extremely ominous tentacle covered in rotten-looking skin that connects armor and flesh. The spirit they gave off was not the ¡®strength¡¯ of knights. The Holy Knights, who possessed the power of ¡®fear¡¯ just by their very existence, headed outside the Great Temple under Kaleina¡¯s orders. Kaleyna, who had been watching their backs for a moment, also slowly walked away. However, the direction Kaleina was heading in was different from the Paladins heading outward. Step-step-step- Kaleyna slowly began to climb the spiral staircase to the upper floor. The only person left inside the Great Temple is Kaleina. It certainly seemed like there was no one for Kaleyna to talk to, but that wasn¡¯t the case. [I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ll like my gift.] A creepy voice as if it had been carved from a bone came into Kaleyna¡¯s head. The demon king Rademos came to Kaleina by borrowing Paul¡¯s body. He gladly accepted Kaleyna¡¯s offer. As it is now, it was living as a parasite in Kaleina¡¯s body. If it had been a normal person, it would have been unsatisfactory and its spirit would have collapsed soon, but that was not the case with Kaleina. Even Paul, the so-called final sword, could not handle Rademos¡¯ power and was completely destroyed. However, Kaleina did not stop at accepting Rademos¡¯ power and never handed over control of her mind to him. So it was born. An abnormal body where a demon king and a saint coexist. ¡°¡­.¡± Kaleina did not give any answer to the Demon King¡¯s question and simply walked away in silence. [Thanks to my power, your soldiers have become twice as strong. This would be much more powerful than the power of faith you have. Kukk.] ¡®It was possible without you.¡¯ To Rademos¡¯ ominous smile, Kaleina answered in her heart. And of course Rademos laughed out loud because he could read Kaleyna¡¯s thoughts. [Khaha! As expected, the saintess of Luna never breaks down. Anyway, good. Because there is only one thing you and I want.] While listening to Rademos, Kaleina was able to reach the highest level of the Great Temple. The place Kaleina goes to is the terrace where you can see the night view outside. When the terrace door was wide open, the priests who were waiting for Kaleyna there bowed their heads. The appearance of priests with ugly tentacles wrapped around their bodies, just like the paladins we saw earlier. Kaleina moved past them to a clear view outside. [Should I watch it somewhere? The fall of the sun presented by the moon.] While listening to Rademos, Kaleina slowly turned her head downward. Numerous Luna Church troops lined up outside the Great Temple. Among them, in the front row were the elite paladins whom Kaleina had given orders earlier. They hid in the darkness without a single moonlight, with hundreds of shining eyes. The Luna Church¡¯s elite troops, ready to listen to orders from Kaleina or Rademos at any time. Kaleina once again borrowed the power of the Demon King and gave them orders. [- ¨C -.] A strange language that humans could not even pronounce rang out. However, the priests who clearly understood this stepped forward and recited the spell. Shoo Shoo ¨C Shoo Shoo ¨C The magic used by the priests is teleportation. The blue pillar that appeared between the listed soldiers began to disappear somewhere, taking them with it. The first offensive in which Luna and the Demon King cooperate. Rademos, who was watching this, whispered one last time. [Solari is forgotten once again. Just like a thousand years ago.] And the moon. Same goes for you. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 190 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 190Episode 190: It has been about fifteen days since the emperor issued an edict to the entire continent. In the meantime, Dio was mainly active outside of the imperial court. The superficial structure of this war is the Empire and the Solari Church fighting against the Luna Church. However, the forces that actually had to face each other in an all-out war were the Luna Church and the Empire. As far as I know, the Solari Church did not yet exist as a proper kingdom or even a church, and it was not even at the stage of training troops. Therefore, Dio did not get involved in the affairs of the imperial family as much as possible. If there are two leaders in one place, things won¡¯t progress quickly. So, leaving the preparations for war to the emperor, Dio moved separately with his colleagues. Of course, there was a mountain of work for Dio to do outside as well. He diligently carried out missionary work against nobles and various guild groups who flocked to cooperate with the empire. Most of them were people who came on their own, influenced by Solari¡¯s doctrine and Dio¡¯s achievements, so they were a great help in preparing for the war. Mercenaries and adventurers wandering the continent, including wandering knights. They considered themselves members of the Solari Church and participated in missionary activities together with Dio. Moreover, they would go out on their own and carry out missionary work in their own region. Although they did not even have proper discipline, they preached the kindness of the sun, which blessed them with crops and warmth. Thanks to this, there are currently 8 million believers in Solari. As previously thought, the number of Solari believers was increasing at an unbelievable rate. Rumors created rumors again. The achievements of Dio, who was praised as a warrior, were exaggerated and spread throughout the continent. Still, people believed. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The person who successfully subdued the Demon Lord and tamed the legendary dragon was none other than Dio. There is no need to exaggerate the paths that Dio went through, so they were amazing and people gathered and followed him. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Current Solari believer: 8000651 Increased ability applied: 80% Ability strengthened when activated: 800% Duration: 800 seconds Cooldown: 24 hours ¡ª- ¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Dio finished his morning routine as usual and looked at the system window containing information about the power of faith with a satisfied expression. Dio¡¯s basic abilities with the power of faith applied are normally increased by 80%. In numerical terms, the basic ability can exert 180% of the power. If you use the active skill here, you can generate 8 times the power in about 13 minutes. However, no matter how strong he became, he could never let down his guard. This is because the power of faith, a morale skill, is a skill that Kaleina also possesses. ¡®I¡¯m not sure to what extent Kaleina will be there.¡¯ Dio sensed that the number of 8 million had reached its limit for now. It was obvious that those who did not yet accept Solari¡¯s doctrine would not be appeased no matter what Dio said. Even if it increases, it will not be much different from the number of 8 million. After closing the system window, Dio opened his mouth to his companions who were waiting for him. ¡°Everyone ready?¡± ¡°Yes, I took everything I needed.¡± Sepia spoke on behalf of the group. Currently, Dio¡¯s group had gathered to leave for the south. Dio did not only do missionary work over the past 15 days. With my companions who were strong enough, I researched new magic and trained to coordinate with my colleagues. And most importantly, we focused on attracting external forces. The external forces referred to here refer to the forces of humans and other races that even the emperor could not easily contact. The force that could be considered the representative force was none other than the elves. ¡°Is Elaine still there?¡± ¡°Oh, there he comes.¡± Dio spotted Elaine approaching from afar and nodded. Eline carried out a mission according to Dio¡¯s instructions in the elven forest of Pandea. She successfully convinced the elves to side with the Solari. So, on behalf of the elves, he stopped by the imperial capital for a while to negotiate with the emperor. And Dio and the others were waiting for Elaine to join her and go check on the elf army stationed in the south. ¡°I¡¯m already tired.¡± Elaine approached Dio and instead of saying hello, she let out a grumpy remark. In fact, Elaine had no intention of formally forming an alliance between elves and humans by confronting the emperor. Anyway, Elaine and the elves only fought against Luna, who tricked them, and they were suspicious of the humans¡¯ help. However, even if Elain was dissatisfied, Dio wanted to build a solid alliance system like the relationship between the elves and the empire with the Solari. There is also a need to report information about support from these external forces to the emperor. ¡°Don¡¯t complain too much. Against the Luna Church, the power of the Empire is not an option, but a necessity.¡± ¡°We can just go and destroy everything, but I don¡¯t know why they¡¯re making it so complicated.¡± ¡°I asked you this because I knew you would.¡± Dio sighed at the attitude of the elves who had maintained a consistent way of thinking since the Order Board. Even when the subjugation of the Demon Lord was underway, it was Elaine who suggested that we just destroy them all without any special strategy. Elaine was not alone in this way of thinking. Although most elves have strong personal power, they do not know how to wage war. So the elf forces that appeared on the order board were always on the receiving end. It was the players who always saved it. ¡°Anyway, the emperor will now deploy his troops with the elves in mind. ¡°Elaine, focus on the South and nothing else.¡± ¡°¡­okay.¡± Although she still looked unconvinced, Elaine nodded without any further complaints. This was because, even though it was not Dio¡¯s words that were bound by the oath of liberation, there were words that Crassus had urged Elaine to say. He tells us to listen to Dio and protect his life no matter what happens. Anyway, since Elain was the last to join, Dio was about to lead the group and leave, when something that no one expected began to happen. pop! Kugoogung! A loud, ear-splitting roar echoed across the imperial sky. ¡°What is it? ¡°Is it an earthquake?¡± ¡°Earthquake? ¡°Did you just hear something explode?¡± The group looked at the sky, the source of the sound, without knowing why. What they could see was a cracked sky, and Dio immediately knew what that phenomenon meant. ¡®The barrier on the ecliptic is under attack. whoever?¡¯ Damn it ¨C Dio knew that the best wizards on the continent always maintained a dome-shaped barrier in the Imperial Capital in preparation for any possible air attack. What this means is that a crack has appeared in the sky of the ecliptic where such a barrier is placed. It sounded like someone had received a strong shock from something. The sound of the barrier being distorted grew louder and louder, and every time the barrier spread throughout the ecliptic received damage, the ground also shook . ¡®Kaleina? No, how on earth and by what means?¡¯ Dio thought of Kaleina, the only person capable of attacking the empire. So I couldn¡¯t understand it even more. If she was a saint that Dio knew, she would never fight like this. * * * Pandea, an elven forest located in the southern part of the continent. There, a dark elf was looking up at the sky with a bonfire lit. ¡°It¡¯s ominous¡­¡± Crassus muttered, looking at the dark clouds that looked like they were about to rain even though the sun had not yet set. The seven stars who regularly meet in Temberk knew what Dio had done so far and were helping him as he was chosen by Solari. The power of the seven stars was comparable to that of a single force, so they could become Dio¡¯s strong allies. No matter how strong the Seven Stars were, they could not rashly shake off the Luna Church¡¯s pursuit. In the end, ¡®Giant Amir¡¯, one of the members of the Seven Stars, lost his life after being chased by Luna. Because of this, the seven stars decided that Temberg, where Walpurgis was held, was no longer safe. The Seven Stars, who thought that the ¡®deepest valley¡¯ where Amir was hiding was as safe as Temberg, were wrong. So the seven stars began to work outside the world in earnest. This was why Crassus led the dark elves hiding throughout the continent to gather in the Elven Forest. Crassus was able to resolve the misunderstanding thanks to Elaine. He led the dark elves who followed him and joined the elf forest to protect the elves like before. This is the front line closest to the Holy Kingdom of the Luna Church. It was not unusual for a strong force like Crassus to be deployed here. ¡®Are we still in touch?¡¯ Crassus was waiting for Dio, who would meet him in person and inform him of the current progress of the war. But for some reason the news is late. Is it because he became upset after meeting Elaine? Crassus tried to suppress his uncharacteristic nervousness. ¡°You look full of worry.¡± Someone spoke to Crassus, who was lost in thought. Crassus looked at the man who approached him and spoke to him. He is twice as big as an average adult man. The energy of bravery flowed from him like a lion. Surprisingly, the person with Crassus was Dalimus, the lord of the Duke of Bertius. ¡°It¡¯s no big deal.¡± There were not only elves and dark elves in the elven forest now. The Emperor of the Empire listened to Dio¡¯s words and willingly dispatched soldiers to the areas where the Elves were stationed to spread a united front. In return, Elaine went to meet the emperor to formally conclude negotiations. In any case, the empire¡¯s soldiers dispatched to the south numbered about 50,000 elite soldiers. And that¡¯s only based on selection. Commanding this was Dalimus, known as the King of the East. Since the Luna Church¡¯s main facilities did not exist in the east to begin with, Dalimus willingly accepted the emperor¡¯s order to dispatch them to the most dangerous southern region. Dalimus spent time in the south with other non-human races. The soldiers who came with Dalimus were initially reluctant to deal with other races. Aside from elves, there was a strong perception that dark elves were the enemies of humans. However, D.O. had already announced this in front of many people. The story is that some of the races called demons, like their fellow vampires and witches, were cursed by Luna and were forced to live as fugitives. Thanks to the words of Dio, who was revered as a warrior, the soldiers were able to prepare for war through joint training without much friction with other races. Because they stayed together for over ten days, not only the soldiers but also Dalimus became quite friendly with Crassus. So even now, Dalimus can talk to Crassus, who is resting, without hesitation. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s unusual for a strong person like you to worry.¡± Dalimus, who did not easily believe Crassus¡¯s words that it was no big deal, continued. That¡¯s because Crassus, whom Dalimus had seen so far, was a strong man who never lost his composure in any situation. ¡°It¡¯s just an unfortunate event that happens sometimes.¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not rain.¡± Another voice, not that of Crassus and Dalimus, joined their conversation. ¡°What does that mean? ¡°Schwalt.¡± Another Seven Star, Schuwald, who joined Crassus on the southern front. He recently joined the group, leading the vampires and werewolves who followed him, just as Crassus led the dark elves. Anyway, Schwald looked alternately at Crassus and Dalimus, who were paying attention to him with a pretended serious expression. ¡°I received a call from Calliope, who was near the imperial capital¡­ The imperial capital has been attacked.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 191 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 191Episode 191: Quagwagwagwang! The strong barrier protecting the imperial capital was constantly being attacked . Ding Ding- ¡°It¡¯s an attack! ¡°Evacuate the people!¡± ¡°Knights, move to your respective positions!¡± The bell warning of an attack rang throughout the imperial capital, and the imperial knights and soldiers stationed in the imperial capital moved to their respective positions in perfect order. ¡°How did you contact your superiors?¡± ¡°All communication artifacts are dead!¡± ¡°What the hell are the magic corps doing?¡± ¡°They say the checkpoints at the east and west gates are all blocked! ¡°We are also checking the south and north, but it looks like the situation is probably the same!¡± Even while everyone was confused by the sudden attack, Dio looked around to somehow understand the situation. ¡®They did something to the barrier. All long-distance communication is blocked and you can¡¯t go outside.¡¯ Dio summarized the current situation through the words of soldiers who conveyed information through voice. Now, it is only in the sky that the barrier protecting the ecliptic is collapsing. Unlike this, there was no damage to the barrier of the entrance on the ground. In fact, the barrier became stronger and strong sparks even flew so that it could not be passed through. It¡¯s as if they deliberately aimed to completely block it from the outside world. An unidentified enemy who transformed the barrier surrounding the wide ecliptic into a huge prison. ¡®The only force that can attack the imperial capital is the Luna Church. But I confirmed that their main force was all concentrated in the south. How on earth?¡¯ The reason the current empire has established a united front with other races in the south is because Luna¡¯s saints are there. The Luna Church¡¯s army there could be said to be its main force, so Dio moved his troops there accordingly. ¡®Are there troops from the Luna Church that I don¡¯t know about? Or else¡­¡¯ Dio, who could not understand this situation at all, tried to find the part he had missed. The only possibility is that a force other than the Luna Church carried out the airstrike. The force that can do that is the Demon King¡¯s Army led by the resurrected Demon King. But the Demon King was definitely¡­. For a moment, his head flashed. Dio recalled what Solari said last time. -Beware of Luna¡¯s saint. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡­isn¡¯t dead. ¡®Damn, that didn¡¯t sound right¡­was it referring to Rademos?¡¯ Jijijijijik ¨C At that time, the sound of noise rang in Dio¡¯s ears and he came to his senses. [D.I.O. I know it¡¯s confusing, but you need to stay alert right now.] Communication magic is now completely blocked due to the barrier. There was only one being who could speak to Dio¡¯s mind. ¡°Solari!¡± Having gathered a large number of believers, Dio was waiting for Solari to speak to him again. This means that as the power of faith becomes stronger, the power of Solari also recovers. [It seems that Luna¡¯s saint and the demon king have joined forces.] ¡°The demon king? That can¡¯t be possible. ¡°I definitely destroyed the core!¡± [Last time, I didn¡¯t have enough power to deliver it properly, but Rademos¡¯ core was not completely destroyed. On the contrary, the power of the Demon King that can be felt now seems to have recovered much more than before.] Dio realized what Solari said. By destroying Rademos¡¯ core, the system did not acknowledge that it had dealt with the Demon King. I just made that conclusion after seeing Rademos¡¯ core disappear. ¡°shit.¡± The resurrection of the Demon King is something that inevitably happens. In the end, Dio realized that things were going exactly like the game and gritted his teeth. No, I¡¯m glad if it¡¯s the same. Rather, it was more dangerous. In the Order version, you only had to deal with the Demon King, but now, as Solari warned, you have to deal with both Luna and the Demon King at the same time. ¡°We must at least unite the remaining troops in the imperial capital! ¡°Everyone spread out and protect their respective areas!¡± ¡°yes!¡± Dio quickly gave instructions to his companions. The enemies have not yet appeared, but it will definitely only be temporary. This was because the cracks had spread to the extent that it would not be surprising if the barrier blocking the sky broke at any time. If enemies appear, they will definitely come down from the sky. That means that battles will take place throughout the imperial capital. Dio immediately spread Sepia and Evelyn Roberto Elain in the east, west, north, south, and south directions. ¡°Move quickly! Move people to the barracks or the imperial palace! ¡°We camp around civilians!¡± ¡°All right!¡± Dio quickly gave instructions to the guards who were busy moving around. Currently, the number of soldiers and knights remaining in the imperial capital was not very large. The advance force was on the southern front, and most of the remaining troops were also heading south. In addition, the Empire also spread its troops accordingly to keep the Luna Church in check, which was spreading throughout the country. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess _ Eventually, with a sound like a window breaking, huge holes appeared in the barrier blocking the sky. And a group of bizarre people appear through the hole. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not human!¡± Soldiers of the Luna Church, their entire bodies surrounded by unpleasant tentacles, fell from the sky, and people screamed at the sight. Quagwagwang! Grumble ¨C It wasn¡¯t just the Luna Church soldiers infected with the power of the Demon King who attacked the imperial capital. Various demonic beasts that appear in the demon world. Those demon beasts, along with the infected paladins, began cutting and biting everything in sight. ¡®Much stronger than the existing paladins.¡¯ Dio gauged the level of his opponent by cutting off the head of a hideous paladin of the Luna Church. Although Dio was tired of seeing him as a demonic beast, the Luna Church soldier infected with the demon king¡¯s power was something he had never seen before. Slowly ¨C The paladin that Dio had knocked down by cutting off his head began to wriggle. Kkulung-kulung- Tentacles that dominated the paladin¡¯s body. The tentacle protruded through the severed neck of the paladin, and the paladin stood up again. ¡°This is crazy!¡± The unknown enemy that appeared now was not just hideous. When a body part is cut off, a tentacle containing Rademos¡¯ power takes over its function. The Paladin who was regenerated and rose again became much stronger than before. Kagagaga River! Dio parried the infected paladin¡¯s sword rushing towards him. Although they only exchanged a few sword strikes, Dio quickly cut the infected paladin in two. An infected paladin separated into upper and lower bodies. However, as if such a fatal blow was impossible, the tentacle wriggled again through the severed part. Quang! Dio, who would not sit still and watch this, struck the fallen paladin with a sword filled with the power of the sun. Dio briefly clicked his tongue when he saw the infected paladin¡¯s body completely destroyed after being touched by the power of the sun. ¡®It¡¯s about as strong as Rusty Paladin. But the regenerative ability doesn¡¯t make sense!¡¯ This ability is like a miniature version of the immortal ability shown by Deathrugger. Dio hurriedly looked around. There was no problem dealing with him who had become stronger through the power of faith, but he was not an ordinary soldier or knight. ¡°They don¡¯t die!¡± ¡°Call the wizard! Burn it down!¡± ¡°Krrrrr!¡± It wasn¡¯t just the infected soldiers of the Luna Church who were covered in tentacles and showing off ridiculous regenerative abilities. The demonic beasts of the demonic world called the fear of humans. Their entire bodies were covered in tentacles, as if they were entities reborn by the power of Rademos. ¡°Kwaaaaaak!¡± ¡°Please save me!¡± A hellhound with a head made up of dozens of tentacles attacked the soldiers of the empire. The tentacle pierced the soldier¡¯s skin and gurgled as if sucking up all the moisture contained in the human body.

Everyone was so frightened by the terrible sight that they were busy running away. ¡°Everyone, come to your senses! ¡°Take the injured person and run to the center!¡± Dio tried to block the demon beast and the infected paladin. However, the screams heard here and there indicated that the imperial army¡¯s situation was not good. The situation was too bad for Dio to judge. Even with the mysterious abilities of the infected paladins, they were greatly outnumbered. Troops of the Luna Church constantly descended from the sky. It was not enough to stop them with just the soldiers of the empire, as they invaded all over the wide imperial capital rather than just one place. ¡®Damn it. ¡®I never thought there would be a surprise street fight.¡¯ If Dio had faced him alone, he would have wiped him out with great skills, but he couldn¡¯t. Most of the people in the imperial capital were civilians and there were many tall buildings. If Dio goes on a rampage alone, he may make a mistake and cause more damage to his allies than to his enemies. ¡®Then there is only one way.¡¯ Dio hurriedly headed west, cutting down the infected paladins and demonic beasts that blocked his path. ¡°sepia!¡± Dio followed his words and found Sephia fighting enemies around the west gate of the Imperial Capital. Sepia burned dozens of nearby infected paladins with the power of the sun and immediately responded to Dio¡¯s call. ¡°Dio! Are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m okay. I need your strength! From now on, the entire ecliptic will be covered with Solari¡¯s sanctuary.¡± Dio, who joined Sephia, immediately conveyed his thoughts to her. There are two main problems with the surprise attack that the Luna Church is currently pursuing. The first is a barrier cut off from the outside. Because of this, the imperial troops outside the imperial capital could not easily come to support. The second are paladins and magic beasts with the power of Rademos. The only ones who can completely eliminate them are Dio and his companions who can use the power of the sun. In order to prevent further power loss, Dio decided that it would be better to leave the barrier for now and deal with Rademos¡¯ power first. This was the best Dio could do, as he couldn¡¯t handle everyone on his own. If Sepia uses Solari¡¯s sanctuary, the Empire¡¯s soldiers will be able to kill the infected paladins. ¡°The entire ecliptic? ¡°Can I do it on my own?¡± ¡°You have to force yourself to do it! ¡°I¡¯ll help you, so spread out as much as you can!¡± ¡°all right!¡± Dio grabbed Sephia¡¯s shoulders and unleashed as much of his solar power on her. Wow ¨C Sepia felt Dio¡¯s touch and quickly guided the power of the sun. The brilliant light emanating from her body. It would have been impossible with Sepia alone, but it was possible with Sepia now, with Dio¡¯s power added. Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Sepia, who had gathered her full power, spread the power of the sun without delay. Solari¡¯s sanctuary is rapidly spreading around Sepia. ¡°Keeeeek!¡± ¡°Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!¡± The infected soldiers and demonic beasts of the Luna Church that touched this faltered and struggled in pain. ¡°The saint protects us!¡± ¡°For the Solari!¡± ¡°For the Empire!¡± Not only that, but the wounded soldiers of the empire recovered quickly, and the tentacles containing Rademos¡¯ power began to be helplessly cut off by the weapons they wielded. ¡®good. If things continue like this, we can fight back!¡¯ The morale of the Empire¡¯s soldiers, which was the most problematic, was restored. Dio listened to the shouts of the imperial soldiers and looked for an opportunity to counterattack. Now if I spread it a little more¡­ ¡°Ugh!¡± ¡°sepia!¡± Was it because I used too much force? Sepia took a step back due to the sudden pain, and Dio caught her. ¡®It¡¯s not because I¡¯m overdoing it. This is someone¡­¡¯ It was Dio who was clearly giving Sepia strength without overdoing it. Dio looked up and was about to figure out what the problem was. [It¡¯s hard to believe.] It¡¯s a joke! With a solemn and beautiful voice ringing in my head, the sanctuary of Solari spread by Sepia gradually began to disappear. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at that ominous energy that covers even Solari Sanctuary. However, the person who used this energy was exuding both ominousness and sacredness. ¡°¡­Kaleina.¡± Dio found Luna¡¯s saint floating in the sky and spoke her name. He finally came forward in person. Colluding with the devil. The greedy saintess of Luna. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 192 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 192Episode 192: The fragments of the collapsed barrier sparkle. With this in the background, the sight of Kaleina slowly descending from the sky looked like the descent of a divine being. Maybe what you see isn¡¯t everything. Now that Kaleina has combined with the Demon King, she has truly become a divine being. Kaleina looked around while floating in the air. The burning ecliptic. All over the place, demonic beasts and infected Luna Church soldiers were massacring the people of the empire. A scene like hell. Kaleyna seemed unimpressed by this. She only had her eyes fixed on one person. ¡®D.I.O.¡¯ Kaleina muttered the name of the man looking up at her. It was only because of that one person. The Luna Church was so put on the defensive that it even borrowed the power of the Demon King. Kaleina felt it. The power possessed by the great warrior of Solari and the goddess of the sun contained within. ¡®I can¡¯t believe it. ¡®Is this the power that Solari has?¡¯ Kaleina, who had guessed Dio¡¯s power, was quite surprised on the inside, although she did not show it. Even though he became powerful by combining with the Demon King, he still felt inadequate compared to Dio. Right now, of course. ¡®Is that the saint of the sun?¡­ And the believers of the sun who have been hiding from the moon¡­¡¯ Kaleina¡¯s eyes moved quickly and she began to check Dio¡¯s companions who were trying to protect the ecliptic. ¡®okay. ¡®That¡¯s about it.¡¯ Kaleina took one last look at Dio, who was ready to attack her at any moment. But not yet. Kaleina knew that it was not yet time to fight the Great Warrior of the Sun, so she slowly opened her mouth. [It was done.] The voice of a saint filled with the power of the devil. In response, a huge mana vortex enveloped Kaleina¡¯s body. Shoo shoo shoo ¨C Kaleina disappeared in an instant. But the only thing that disappeared was Kaleina. In the still burning ecliptic, evil beings began to rampage even more strongly. * * * Dio was shocked by Kaleina¡¯s appearance, even though it was new to him. I heard from Solari that he was in collusion with the Demon King. Dio, who actually saw Kaleina¡¯s appearance, felt a sense of disconnect as she looked very different from the Kaleina he knew. Kaleina was solemn and strict, but was at least warm to the player. Dio felt an indescribable sense of ominousness in the black eyes that covered Kaleina¡¯s red eyes. ¡°It¡¯s gone. ¡°Couldn¡¯t they have come to fight with us?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sephia looked at Dio anxiously as he saw Kaleina disappearing. Dio tried to tell Sephia about Solari¡¯s message, but at some point, the surrounding demonic beasts interrupted their conversation. ¡°Krrrrr!¡± ¡°Coooooooo!¡± A twinheaded ogre with a massive ax accompanied by dozens of hellhounds. One of the Twinhead Ogre¡¯s two heads was covered in unpleasant tentacles, like a hell hound. Kuung-! Faba Park! Dio¡¯s sword seemed to be shining brightly, and all of the hell hound¡¯s legs were cut off. ¡°Kegegegeng!¡± Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Kkkkkkkk! ¡°Crrrrrrrrr!¡± The hell hound slid to the floor. The twin-headed ogre, which carelessly cleared away the hell hound, rushed towards Dio. Tukwagwagwak-! Pop! Dio¡¯s sword flashed once again. As soon as the Twinhead Ogre¡¯s ax broke, both of its heads were cut off. This is a fatal wound that would not be surprising if an ordinary twin-headed ogre dies instantly. However, the Twin Head Ogre raised its arms wide as if it was still healthy even though its head was blown off. It wasn¡¯t just Twinhead Ogre. The hell hounds whose legs were cut off by Dio also replaced the severed body parts with tentacles and stood up again. A fight in which attacking critical points, which can be seen as the advantage of a stagnant character, is of no use. Quang! Dio avoided the Twin Head Ogre¡¯s attack and retreated to Sepia behind him. At the same time, Sephia stretches her hand forward. Flash! Lightning seemed to shoot out from Sepia¡¯s hand for a moment, but this was not an attack with only electric properties. ¡®Sunshine Storm¡¯ with the power of the sun. Let¡¯s go! The power of the sun that instantly burns the demonic beasts in front of you with powerful heat. As a result, even Twinhead Ogre and Hell Hound, who possessed persistent tentacle abilities, disappeared. ¡®It¡¯s not good¡­ It¡¯s just a small mob, but it consumes a lot of power.¡¯ Dio and Sephia easily took care of the demonic beasts in front of them. Dio quickly realized that this was not a situation that could be taken lightly. If they were ordinary demonic beasts, they could be dealt with with simple attacks without the need to use the power of the sun. That way, you will be able to save your strength. However, Dio had to pay attention to the fact that such a strategy could not be used against the current enemies. ¡°What on earth happened to these enemies? It¡¯s completely different from the demonic beasts I fought in the Demon World! And those Paladins of Luna¡­.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the power of the devil. ¡°The Holy Maiden of Luna accepted the power of the Demon King.¡± ¡°yes? ¡°Didn¡¯t you stop the Demon King¡¯s resurrection?¡± ¡°I do not know either. How did they survive? At what point did the two join hands? ¡°First of all, we must inform the rest of the group about this situation.¡± Taking advantage of the moment the surroundings cleared up, Dio quickly spoke to Sepia. ¡°It must have been Kaleina¡¯s fault that the imperial barrier imprisoned us and blocked all external communication.¡± ¡°Then what? ¡°Most of the empire¡¯s troops must be outside the imperial capital right now¡­ Is there no way to convey the situation here to them?¡± ¡°Even if we didn¡¯t call for support, Calliope outside would have noticed the situation here.¡± Even Calliope would not be able to easily break through the barrier that Saint Luna had created. Even if Calliope summons the other seven stars, the situation will not change. ¡°While Calliope deals with the barrier, we must focus on the enemies within the ecliptic. The problem is¡­.¡± The ecliptic that must be protected is too wide. Now, it seemed too reckless for Dio and his companions to handle the number of enemies that were flocking in alone. ¡®There are Gunther and Agram in the ecliptic besides me. We have to cooperate with them and stop them somehow.¡¯ Dio remembered the existence of Swordmaster Gunther and Mercenary King Agram, but even if they joined forces, the imperial army would only be slightly better. The fact that it is disadvantageous has not changed. No matter how strong they were, they were not as powerful as Kaleina. The most problematic thing for Dio right now was the existence of Kaleina. However, Kaleina only made a brief appearance and did not immediately participate in the battle. He may be thinking of waiting until the demonic beasts with persistent vitality and the infected soldiers of the Luna Church drain Dio¡¯s power. ¡®No, if I were Kaleina¡­¡¯ Dio, who didn¡¯t think he was using an obvious move, shook his head. Kaleina won¡¯t just wait any longer. By now, Kaleina had waited long enough to catch Dio. But in the end, everything failed and I had to step forward like this. Dio thought that he was behaving this way because he was trustworthy. Of course, I don¡¯t know what it is yet. ¡®Still, it¡¯s clear that Kaleyna is conserving her strength. Before she steps forward, we have to deal with the random mobs with minimal effort. ¡®Is that possible?¡¯ There was so much to think about that Dio¡¯s head started pounding. The reason Dio was having a harder time than ever before was because the current situation was something he had never experienced. When Dio stopped talking and was lost in thought for a while, Sephia next to him also looked anxious. Sepia felt it too. Dio always acted as if he could foresee the future. And even when faced with unexpected or unexpected situations, D.O. somehow came up with a solution. However, the current D.O. is very different from then. Dio, who knew almost everything, did not know how Kaleina manipulated the barrier, and the infected paladins could not easily attack him. However, Sepia believed that he would do something, so she placed her hand on Dio¡¯s shoulder. If Dio doesn¡¯t do anything here, the empire will definitely not last long. Sephia opened her mouth to Dio, hoping that he would come out of the confusion and lead himself and everyone else as usual. ¡°Dio¡­.¡± [Dio.] A new voice covering Sepia¡¯s voice. It was none other than Solari, who had relayed Kaleina¡¯s condition to Dio just moments ago. This meant that Solari had not yet left Dio. Dio, who came to his senses from that fact, answered Solari¡¯s call. ¡°Solari!¡± ¡°yes?¡± Sephia, who could not hear Solari¡¯s voice, looked confused. Dio gestured to Sepia to wait for a moment and gazed at the sky. This is because the invisible Solari seemed to be watching him from the sky. [D.I.O. There is no time to hesitate here. The only person who can stop Luna and the Demon King is you.] ¡°Did you call me to say something like that? are you kidding?¡± Dio got angry at Solari¡¯s encouragement and shouted. I¡¯m sure Solari knows. Dio¡¯s situation is not good. What D.O. wants now is not words of comfort and encouragement, but a solution to overcome the problem. [You must remain calm. I have experienced the history of the Demon King and the Moon joining hands to destroy the Sun.] Solari¡¯s words calming Dio quickly followed. [The power of the Great Warrior has not yet grown sufficiently. Luna intends to force you to do too much, but if you use it in reverse, you will be able to complete the true power of the Great Warrior.] Just as Dio was about to ask how that was possible after Solari¡¯s words, a system notification sound rang in his ear. Tiring! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Main Scenario] Luna, the goddess of the moon, and Rademos, the demon king, join forces just as they did a thousand years ago. Kaleyna, the goddess and agent of the Demon King, stormed the Imperial Ecliptic with the power of the moon and darkness. If we can stop Kaleina¡¯s invasion, Solari¡¯s only great warrior¡¯s power will be complete. Contents: Elimination of Luna Church soldiers and demonic beasts that attacked Freud¡¯s Empire. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°What is it?¡± Dio was surprised to see the reward underneath the content. There, the experience points that could be gained by completing quests were written in very long numbers. The amount of experience points was so great that Dio gasped. Solari¡¯s words that he can complete the true power of the Great Warrior. Dio noticed that this meant leveling up. Dio, who finished calculating experience points and leveling up in an instant, thought. ¡®It¡¯s enough experience to reach max level. Are you saying that Solari has recovered enough to give me this much experience?¡¯ After checking the quest details, Dio had one question. If what you think is correct, why do you give the reward after defeating the monster instead of giving it in advance? Solari, noticing Dio¡¯s doubts about this, spoke once again. [The barrier created by Saint Luna is interfering with my power¡­] ¡°Solari?¡± Chijijik ¨C Dio began to hear an unpleasant noise before Solari¡¯s words were completely uninterrupted. [Monsters¡­and the barrier¡­please.] After Solari¡¯s voice was heard among the noise, her voice completely disappeared. Through this, Dio was able to find out that Solari had forcibly broken through the barrier and given him his voice. ¡®Are you saying that the mere presence of monsters is interfering with Solari¡¯s power?¡¯ Dio realized what to do in Solari¡¯s last words. In the end, to solve this quest, you have to deal with monsters rather than barriers. ¡®Solari and the system did not ask us to deal with Kaleina.¡¯ Dio, who had hope, ruled out Kaleina, who was the most problematic. As long as you eliminate all the demonic beasts and Luna Church soldiers that have invaded the ecliptic, you can definitely achieve level 500. The priority was no longer Kaleyna. Dio opened his mouth, looking at Sephia who was anxiously waiting for his words. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s do it.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 193 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 193Episode 193: A large hole has appeared in the sky of the ecliptic. The Legion of Demonic Beasts and the Army of the Luna Church, passing through the gap in the collapsed barrier and constantly falling to the ground, showed no signs of decreasing in number. ¡®indeed. ¡®Is that the Great Warrior of the Sun that I¡¯ve only heard about?¡¯ In that sky, Kaleina was reading the flow of the battlefield. Kaleina took the risk of exposing her existence and appeared in front of Dio. The reason was simple. This is because it is necessary to understand with one¡¯s own eyes the extent of the power of the being called Dio. The Great Warrior of the Sun will be the ultimate and final opponent for Kaleina herself. The information I learned by approaching Dio like that was quite valuable. ¡®It¡¯s not just that they have great power¡­ they are blocking my overwhelming forces with a small number of people based on innate tactics.¡¯ S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Kaleina looked at Dio and the believers of the sun who were guarding the area under his command, one by one. A witch who is driving out demonic beasts with shadow armor created through shadow magic. A vampire who is taking on the infected paladins head-on with skillful martial arts and blood magic. Even the high elves who once joined forces with the Luna Church have now followed the sun. ¡®Among these, the most problematic one is the Great Warrior and the Saint¡­¡¯ Kaleina kept an eye on two specific people who showed much better skills than the rest of the party. Sepia, the Holy Virgin of Solari, in charge of the northwest of the ecliptic. Kaleina obediently acknowledged Sepia, who had taken the position of a ¡®saint¡¯ like herself. The sanctuary she spread was much more threatening than the rampage of other Sun believers. Although Kaleina used her power to prevent the sanctuary created by Sepia from spreading throughout the ecliptic, she was unable to stop it all. If Sanctuary had spread, Solari¡¯s forces would have had a much easier time dealing with Kaleina¡¯s forces than they do now. ¡®And Dio¡­ I thought he would take care of me because he was worried about me. There may be a part of me that believes it.¡¯ Kaleina was lost in thought as she looked at Dio, who was commanding the imperial army in the northern region of the ecliptic. One of the reasons why Kaleina appeared directly to Dio was to make him worry about her and prevent him from concentrating on the battle. At first, Dio seemed to be acting passively, as Kaleina had thought. And that¡¯s just for a moment. As if he had made up his mind, Dio used the enormous power of the sun without hesitation and devastated Kaleyna¡¯s forces. The power of one great warrior of the sun was so strong that not even the Luna Church and the Demon King¡¯s Legion could handle it. Nevertheless, Kaleina did not come forward directly. The other person may be pretending to lose strength. Above all, you have to wait here. Only then will we be able to complete the foundation for the next move. ¡®I won¡¯t let down my guard this time.¡¯ [Amazing.] Rademos¡¯ voice came into Kaleina¡¯s head as she was constantly fighting with Dio. Could it be Rademos¡¯ admiration for feeling Dio¡¯s strength like Kaleina? ¡®He is the only great warrior of Solari who has gathered strength for a thousand years. That level of strength is not expected.¡¯ Kaleina frowned as if Rademos, who was speaking to her, was interrupting her. However, Rademos once again spoke to Kaleyna in a voice full of laughter, wondering what was so funny. [No, I am not the author. I¡¯m talking about you.] Rademos said that the person who surprised him was not Dio, but Kaleina. Kaleyna was silent at this. Because I know what Rademos is talking about. [Kkkkkk. I have seen countless saints of Luna for a thousand years.] Rademos was wounded in a war a thousand years ago and was sealed deep underground. As he regained his strength, he was able to find out because he always looked at the continent through the ¡®Eye of the Abyss¡¯. The reason Kaleina became a ¡®saint¡¯ was not because Luna chose her simply because she had outstanding divine power. An ¡®obsession¡¯ that may be the same or even greater than that of Luna a thousand years ago. That obsession refers to the idea that Luna¡¯s absolute dominance is everything in the world. Kaleina, who would go to any lengths to achieve that obsession, could not possibly be considered human even from the Demon King¡¯s point of view. [There has never been a bitch like you before and there will never be one again.] ¡®I don¡¯t have time to listen to nonsense.¡¯ [Did you need my power in the first place? If you were planning on doing this from the beginning¡­ you are extremely immoral.] Despite Kaleyna¡¯s cold words, Rademos continued to mutter something incomprehensible. [Kkkkkkk How about taking the place of the Demon King instead of me? I think you can do it better than me.] Is he just being sarcastic or is he sincere? Hearing Rademos¡¯ words, Kaleyna just quietly closed her eyes. ¡®stop. Concentrate on your work. Rademos. ¡®I¡¯ll start right away at night.¡¯ [Is there a question, noble saint?] * * * Squeak- rumbling- rumbling ! Demon beasts swarming around and infected soldiers of the Luna Church. The remains of the collapsed buildings fell on their heads and crushed them all. ¡°Use the rubble as a barrier against them! ¡°We must somehow prevent them from reaching the center!¡± ¡°All right!¡± At Dio¡¯s command, the knights of the empire swung their swords and spears at the demonic beasts trying to overcome the collapsed rubble. The imperial citizens inside the building had already evacuated toward the imperial palace. After receiving this report, Dio immediately tore down tall buildings and erected a temporary barrier. Quang! Dio swung his sword widely, making sure that there were no allies around him to be caught up in. A powerful explosion with the power of the sun once again engulfed the infected paladins and demon beasts. nevertheless. The number of Luna Church soldiers and demonic beasts falling from the sky showed no signs of decreasing at all. ¡°How many? ¡°Did you teleport all the troops in the south?¡± Dio muttered as he cut down the endless crowd of infected paladins. Originally, the plan was to start the war after about 15 days. Clearly, the Empire also moved in line with the movement of the Luna Church¡¯s forces. Until yesterday, it was confirmed that the Luna Church¡¯s main force was on the southern front. I did not think that other than those troops, a new army was formed to attack the imperial capital. It is somewhat understandable if, excluding the demonic beasts, the Luna Church soldiers currently deployed to the imperial capital are troops that should have been in the south. According to Dio¡¯s thoughts, the imperial army encamped on the southern front was in vain. ¡®Kaleina¡¯s new power¡­ I would say it has far surpassed Calliope¡¯s.¡¯ Teleporting more than 10,000 units is an impossible task, even for Calliope. But Kaleyna did it without a hitch. The good news is that tens of thousands of armies will not appear at once. ¡®It could be that a portal was created on the ecliptic. Should we try to stop that?¡¯ Dio glanced at the imperial sky where the barrier had collapsed, but then shook his head. The content of the quest was to annihilate the enemies of the imperial capital, but there was nothing to close the portal. All Dio can trust now is Solari and the information provided by the system. If you do anything else, you might get hit by Kaleyna. Sigh-! A black flame shoots out while Dio looks away for a moment. This flame was not aimed at Dio, but at the imperial soldiers camped among the collapsed rubble. ¡°Avoid blood!¡± ¡°Run away!¡± A huge flame that is dangerous even at a glance. Dio quickly kicked the ground and swung his sword to extinguish the flames. However, the black flames fired at the imperial army did not end with just one. Huuuk- Quang! Like a stone thrown out by a catapult. The black flames formed a parabolic curve and began to strike the barely prepared imperial army. ¡°Now you crazy, you¡¯re using black magic too.¡± Dio cursed as he realized that those who used the black flame were infected paladins. Common sense dictates that a paladin can never use black magic. Even in a game, the coexistence of light and darkness is an element that causes setting errors or loss of balance. If that were possible, the morale class on the order board would definitely be a paladin. The endless advance of infected paladins who casually break those rules. If Sepia or Evelyn had been present, they would have been able to block their magic, but Dio is the only one guarding this area right now. ¡°Everyone gather here!¡± Dio shouted at the imperial troops whose formation had collapsed. Now the opponent is launching a destructive attack to break down the defense. This means that D.O.¡¯s strategy of establishing a front line using a roadblock is difficult. In response, Dio opened his inventory and quickly moved his fingers. Whirling ¨C When Dio manipulated the inventory window, his inventory showed one type of item listed. The item keyword he found was none other than ¡®shield¡¯. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrva . bang. bang. bang. When Dio stretched out his hand, all of his shield items in his inventory lined up next to him and fell to the floor. More than a hundred types of shields were taken out, and new barriers were created to replace the collapsed remains. Kwagwagwagwagwang! Imperial soldiers hiding between the shields taken out by Dio. The infected paladins used all kinds of black magic again, but this time, unlike the first time, they were unable to break down the imperial army¡¯s formation. This was possible because each and every shield Dio took out was an item of at least a unique level or higher. ¡®This will be a great help in maintaining the front line.¡¯ Although it may not be as good as Dio¡¯s direct use, the shield¡¯s position alone would be of great help to the imperial army. As if Dio¡¯s thoughts were correct, the infected paladins and demonic beasts could not easily penetrate the barrier built with shields. War is never something that can be done alone. Simply having the imperial army stand still can relieve a lot of pressure on Dio. With the help of shields, the soldiers of the Imperial Army are not pushed back in battles against demonic beasts and infected soldiers of the Luna Church. Using this momentum, Dio once again gathered his strength and cut down the densely packed enemies. ¡®Am I shooting porridge here?¡¯ Dio has no obligation to protect the empire. And you may give up on a dangerous quest. But that can¡¯t be possible. Even if you have to abandon everything, whether it¡¯s the empire, your friends, or your quest, and run away. Because the Saint of Luna will never stop to take her own life. * * * ¡°How long does it take from here to the ecliptic?¡± Crassus and Schuwald hear about the imperial capital¡¯s attack from Calliope. They were having an urgent meeting about how they should move. ¡°Even if we hurry, it will take three days. Of course, if the human army joins us, it will take much longer.¡± In response to Schuwald¡¯s question, Crassus calmly calculated the distance. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we protect the front line here as well? You and me. And if only the fast-moving elves join quickly¡­.¡± ¡°Taking that into account, I said three days.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± ¡°What about Calliope? ¡°She would be able to move a significant portion of the troops, if not all of them, right?¡± Schuwald thought about Crassus¡¯ suggestion for a moment and then shook his head. ¡°¡­I can¡¯t do that.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 194 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 194Episode 194: Among the seven stars, only Calliope is capable of large-scale teleportation. Crassus wondered why Calliope could not help them. ¡°Currently, Calliope is examining the barrier placed on the ecliptic. ¡°They won¡¯t have the resources to help us.¡± ¡°Maybe we can help?¡± ¡°No, even if we go to a barrier that even she can¡¯t easily break, it won¡¯t be of much help.¡± Schwald summarized what he had received from Calliope and his thoughts and began to tell Crassus. ¡°The only seven stars that can help Dio right now are Calliope. And the most problematic thing is the existence of a barrier blocking entry into the imperial capital.¡± ¡°Are you saying that even if you take us, we¡¯ll be blocked by the barrier, so it¡¯s just a waste of strength?¡± Crassus, who understood Schuwald¡¯s words, responded in despair. ¡°yes. We¡¯d better figure it out ourselves here. ¡°Calliope¡¯s help is too much of a gamble.¡± Schuwald described asking Calliope for help as a gamble. This was Schuwald¡¯s decision considering Calliope¡¯s abilities. If we were to simply look at power, Calliope could not be said to be the strongest among the seven stars. However, when it came to war, Calliope¡¯s abilities could be used in a much wider variety of ways than those of the other seven stars. Even if it¡¯s not just teleportation like now, it¡¯s the ability to resolve barriers or wide-area magic that can annihilate multiple enemies. In many ways, what is helping the ecliptic right now is not the seven stars of Schuwald and Crassus, but the power of one Calliope. ¡°shit. And what if Calliope fails to resolve the barrier? The current forces of the Imperial Capital will not be able to stop the attack¡­¡± Even if the Imperial Capital withstood the three-day period, it was difficult for the southern troops who had forced the march to show their full strength. The more they talked, the more Crassus sensed that the empire¡¯s situation was not good, and he became deeply troubled. ¡°We shouldn¡¯t just be like this, let¡¯s get moving for now. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to seek help from others?¡± Schuwald said, recalling Duke Dalimus, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Human Army. Perhaps, with the help of the empire¡¯s wizards, even a small number of people might be able to enter the imperial capital. However, just as Schwald was about to take his steps to find Dalimus. ¡°for a moment.¡± Crassus, caught by something, caught Schuwald¡¯s footsteps. It came to mind. I have no idea how to overcome the current situation. ¡®If you use that person¡¯s abilities¡­!¡¯ Crassus hurriedly opened his mouth to Schuwald, who had an expression on his face asking what was going on. * * * S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Caw ¨C A crow circling in the burning ecliptic sky. The crow quickly descended and climbed onto Dio¡¯s shoulder among the numerous corpses. [This part has been roughly organized.] Evelyn¡¯s voice comes through the mouth of a crow. Dio shook the blood off his sword and looked around. The number of demonic beasts and Luna Church soldiers, which seemed to never end, was seen to have decreased drastically. The damage to the imperial army commanded by Dio was not that great, as shown by the fact that the position created with the shields in the warehouse faithfully fulfilled its role. ¡°There isn¡¯t much left here. Don¡¯t let down your guard though. ¡°Because this isn¡¯t all they have.¡± [Okay.] ¡°What about the other kids?¡± [Well, I still attached my familiars to everyone. I will contact you shortly.] ¡°Okay. ¡°If anything happens, please contact me right away.¡± Evelyn¡¯s familiar showed excellent communication skills, so it was a great help in a situation where the party was separated. Thanks to this, they were able to quickly understand each other¡¯s situation, and Dio nodded in understanding at Evelyn¡¯s report on stabilizing the area he was responsible for the fastest. Evelyn, like her teacher Calliope, has exceptional abilities in fighting multiple enemies. In particular, street fighting is an environment where Evelyn¡¯s shadow magic shines even brighter. Shadow Armor, which had an ego, was skilled in individual combat because it moved based on Dio¡¯s movements. Additionally, unlike Dio, he can use powerful wide-area magic that will not cause damage to allies. This was possible because Evelyn¡¯s shadow had the self-identity to distinguish between enemies and enemies without her having to think about it. ¡®Maybe Evelyn will be as key as Sephia.¡¯ Dio looked around and turned his head towards Sephia¡¯s direction. Sepia can make a high contribution in this battle just by being able to use Solari¡¯s sanctuary. Nevertheless, the reason why the area was cleared later than Evelyn was because of the enemies. If the enemies consisted only of demonic beasts, Sephia among Dio¡¯s companions would have been the first to annihilate the enemies. However, half of the enemy troops are infected Luna Church soldiers. ¡®Even in an infected state, he is ultimately a paladin.¡¯ Dio kicked the ground and ran toward the remaining infected paladins. Kwadeuk ¨C An infected paladin who is cut from head to toe by Dio¡¯s sword. It¡¯s not that the Holy Knights of the Luna Church are suffering without any help from the power of the sun. The power of the sun only neutralizes the tentacle ability attached to the infected paladin, but the slaughter of the paladin is entirely due to Dio¡¯s force. ¡®Sepia may take a long time. When I have time, I¡¯ll have to go there.¡¯ Sepia¡¯s Sanctuary only helps allies destroy the infected Paladins. The infected paladin has not only the power of the Demon King, but also Luna¡¯s protection applied to him. In order to deal with many of these people, Sephia had to use area-wide magic with stronger fire properties rather than religious power, but the surrounding situation was not conducive to doing so. This is because it is obvious that the people of the empire will get caught up if Sepia carelessly uses a wide-area magic large enough to set the surrounding area on fire. As Dio, who had lost his mind to this point, was about to hurriedly eliminate the remaining enemies, another crow climbed on top of Dio¡¯s head. [Mr. Dio.] ¡°Sepia?¡± Dio looked slightly surprised when he realized that the new crow was Evelyn¡¯s familiar assigned to Sepia. I wondered if something had happened in Sepia¡¯s area, but Sephia¡¯s words, delivered through the crow¡¯s mouth, were good news, different from Dio¡¯s worries. [I destroyed all the temples in my area. How about there?] ¡°Already?¡± Dio was puzzled by Sepia¡¯s words. Didn¡¯t you think that Sephia¡¯s abilities would not be effective against enemies? However, Sepia¡¯s words quickly followed, resolving Dio¡¯s doubts. [The Paladins of the Luna Church use black magic.] ¡°Yes. ¡°I also checked.¡± [I used purification magic just in case, and it was noticeably weakened. Thanks to that, I and the imperial troops in the area were able to take it down easily.] After hearing Sepia¡¯s words, Dio tilted his head as if it was strange. ¡®Luna¡¯s protection must have been protecting her, but the purification magic worked?¡¯ Dio naturally thought that purification magic would not work on the infected paladins. ¡®I don¡¯t know if the direct purification ability that contains the power of the sun may also affect Luna¡¯s divine protection.¡¯ In any case, the fact that Sepia easily dealt with the infected paladin was a good story for Dio. Dio tried to tell Sepia that she had done a good job, but Sephia wasn¡¯t finished talking yet. [But some strange things happened.] ¡°Strange things?¡± [Among the Paladins of the Luna Church that remained until the end, there were some to whom my purification ability did not work at all.] ¡°Really?¡± After Sepia¡¯s additional report, Dio realized that his thoughts were half correct. [Luna¡¯s divine power surrounded the magic energy used by the Holy Knights. I think that¡¯s why my purification magic didn¡¯t work.] ¡°Okay. It looks like Kaleyna is up to something. But it¡¯s strange¡­why did only some of the troops take such action and not all of them?¡± [Well¡­?] Sephia also answered Dio¡¯s question as if he were puzzled. ¡®Is it just a coincidence? Or maybe Kaleina doesn¡¯t have enough power to bestow blessings on the entire army¡­¡¯ Dio thought about what he was hoping for and then shook his head. Kaleina¡¯s power always had to be at its peak. The power of Kaleina that Dio now thinks is beyond imagination, in addition to the power of the Demon King Rademos. Rather than thinking that Kaleina was lacking in power, it was more comfortable to think that Kaleina used this method on purpose. ¡®Anyway, it¡¯s definitely something worth paying attention to.¡¯ After gathering his thoughts, Dio opened his mouth to give the next instructions to Sepia, who had cleaned the area. ¡°Is Adi with you?¡± [Yes.] When Dio dispersed the group, he attached the dragon Adi to Sepia. Sepia¡¯s saintly abilities are better served by a guard. Moreover, out of the group, Adi follows Sepia the most, so Dio made the best decision. Thanks to this, it was clear that Adi¡¯s help helped Sephia annihilate the enemies in the area faster than Dio expected. ¡°From now on, listen to me carefully. ¡°Take a look with Adi at the outskirts of the barrier that separates the outside world from the ecliptic.¡± [A barrier? But with my abilities¡­] ¡°I¡¯m not asking you to solve the barrier. ¡°You find Calliope.¡± Dio mentioned the existence of Calliope, who is trying to resolve the barrier that is clearly a thorn in the side of the ecliptic in many ways. Calliope would clearly be aware that one of the biggest problems is the ecliptic barrier. Then, no matter how wide the ecliptic is, if Adi flies quickly and searches for it, he will definitely be able to meet it easily. ¡°Never fly high in the central sky. ¡°Because Kaleyna will be there.¡± Dio couldn¡¯t see Kaleina, but he could guess that she was watching them from somewhere. And it was clear that the most likely location for her would be the holey sky from which demonic beasts and Luna Church soldiers continued to descend. [After finding it?] ¡°Send Eveline¡¯s familiar straight away like now. ¡°I will join right away.¡± [all right. Then I¡¯ll leave right away. Adi!] Sephia¡¯s voice calling for Adi was heard from the crow¡¯s mouth. At this, Dio seemed to remember something and spoke urgently to Sephia. ¡°Oh wait.¡± [Yes?] ¡°Can you come here for a moment before looking for Calliope?¡± [To Dio?] ¡°Yes. Do you know where my territory is? Just head east from where you are. ¡°I have something to take care of for you.¡± [all right. just a moment. I¡¯ll be there soon.] With Sepia¡¯s answer, communication through the crow was cut off, and the crow, having completed its mission, flew into the sky again. Accordingly, Dio opened his inventory and quickly began looking through the list to find things to take to Sephia. ¡®Kaleina¡¯s next move¡­maybe this is the key.¡¯ Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 195 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 195Episode 195 Dio remained in his seat until Sephia came to him and reflected on the progress taking place in the imperial capital. First of all, the actions of Luna¡¯s saint, Kaleina. Even though Kaleina appeared directly to Dio, he disappeared without doing anything. Starting with this, the forces of the Demonic Beast Corps and the Luna Church rose like waves, and the imperial capital began to transform into a full-fledged battlefield. ¡®The problem is that it is not a general offensive.¡¯ Dio, who received a quest to annihilate all the monsters that attacked the imperial capital in Solari¡¯s conversation, thought that Kaleina would launch an all-out offensive from the beginning. The advantage of a surprise attack was to quickly capture the Imperial Capital through a blitzkrieg. But Dio¡¯s thoughts immediately changed. Unlike the first time, the descending demonic beasts and Luna Church soldiers gradually decreased, and even the reduced troops were scattered. It just seemed like there was some kind of plot going on. However, this was enough to inflict a fatal blow on the defenseless Hwangdo. If you make a mistake, the imperial capital can collapse in just a moment. So Dio immediately cooperated with Swordmaster Gunther and Mercenary King Agram, who remained in the ecliptic, and divided the wide ecliptic into five directions to wage a defensive battle. Although the regeneration ability of the infected paladins was difficult, Dio clearly placed personnel in each area to help with this. This was only possible because I grew together with my colleagues. If Dio was the only one who could use the power of the sun, he would never have been able to overcome it. ¡®The snowball that saved Sepia has ended up here.¡¯ Dio recalled the moment when he did not give up and saved Sepia, which all the players had given up on. At that moment, Sepia was seen approaching on an Adi from a distance, and Dio began to think about his future plans again through organized thoughts. * * * ¡°Dio!¡± ¡°sepia.¡± Dio handed the items he had prepared in advance to Sepia, who got off Adi¡¯s back. ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll explain later. ¡°This comes first.¡± The object that Dio gave to Sephia was a lightning rod as long as his arm. And not one, but five lightning rods. There was no time to explain what this was, so Dio began to focus on what Sephia needed to do. ¡°Find Calliope and place this. There is no need to install it outside. Just like we divided the areas, we just need to set them up in five evenly spaced areas around the ecliptic.¡± Dio explained calmly, drawing a pentagon on the floor. Along with the story that the vertex at the top of the pentagon is the point where it is currently located. ¡°all right.¡± Sepia understood Dio¡¯s explanation at once and immediately got on Adi¡¯s back without asking for further details. Sepia itself is aware of this. This means that at this point in time when the Imperial Capital is under a surprise attack, all actions need to be taken quickly. Flap ¨C Adi, carrying Sephia on his back, spread his wings wide and immediately flew high into the sky. As Dio watched, he began to recall once again what Sepia had reported through Evelyn¡¯s familiar. ¡®A paladin who shares demonic energy while Sepia¡¯s purification ability does not work¡­¡¯ Through these facts, Dio was able to be certain of Kaleyna¡¯s current condition. ¡®It¡¯s the same as what I heard from her. Kaleina¡¯s power now¡­¡¯ The ¡®her¡¯ that Dio was referring to was not referring to Dio¡¯s existing companions or Calliope, one of the seven stars that had helped him. In the ecliptic area divided into five directions, Dio always placed people who met certain conditions. This is someone who can skillfully use the power of the sun. Only then will we be able to completely destroy the infected paladins. So the northwest is Sepia and Adi. The southwestern ones are Roberto and Gunter. In the northeast, Evelyn and Elaine were deployed. Among them, Elaine could also use the power of the sun, but she was not yet as proficient as the rest of the group. Like Sephia, Elaine became qualified to use the power of the sun through the oath of liberation. Crassus taught Elaine, but the period was not very long. This war was a military operation carried out by Kaleyna as a surprise. So Dio safely left Evelyn and Elaine together. In this case, four of the five directions are filled, but one side is left empty of people who can use the power of the sun. There are a total of four areas that Dio Sepia Eveline Roberto can be in charge of. Nevertheless, there is a reason why D.O. divided it into five directions. The last remaining southeastern district. The person not yet deployed is Agram, the mercenary king who cannot use the power of the sun. And¡­ Dio thought of ¡®her¡¯ who was stationed with the mercenary king. * * * This was right after Dio woke up the dragon Adi and went to the forgotten temple. Immediately after returning to the Imperial Capital, Dio and Sephia set out to find a quiet space to collect the loot they had taken from the forgotten temple. The training hall, which was not far from the imperial palace, was the most suitable space for Dio. This training ground is a space where high-ranking knights and royal family members train, not just soldiers or knights. Currently, most commander-level knights and the emperor are busy with frequent meetings ahead of the impending war. They did not have enough time to train, and thanks to this, Dio was able to place the statue from the forgotten temple in the training hall without anyone disturbing him. So, the two people currently in the training hall are Dio and Sepia. The others were not here to see the dragon Adi, who had newly joined Dio and his group. ¡°Can I really do it on my own?¡± Sepia asked Dio with a voice full of concern. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will be by your side and help you. Let¡¯s do as much as we can.¡± Dio placed his hand on Sephia¡¯s shoulder, and Sephia was able to relax her nervous mind. Hwaak ¨C When Sepia raised the power of the sun with her hand on the statue, the power of the sun began to circle around the statue. However, for some reason, contrary to Dio¡¯s thoughts, the stone statue did not seem to be able to accept the power of the sun. Dio, who watched the situation, opened his mouth. ¡°I don¡¯t think simply infusing strength will work, right? ¡°The curse is pushing away the power of the sun.¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± Sepia bit her lip slightly and began to cast a spell. Woe! Sepia activated two skills at the same time. One was a skill that purified demonic energy, and the other was a sacred skill powerful enough to destroy curses. A powerful spark began to fly around the statue . And after a while. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssbs- The stone statue that had absorbed all the brilliant light of the sun finally began to crack with a crackling sound. As he heard the sound of the stone statue trembling, Dio¡¯s memories of when she first woke up came back. The petrified Death Knight slowly stood up. Jet black armor surrounding the entire body. Cursed by Luna a thousand years ago. A paladin who protected the glorious era of Solari. Adelia Darc. At her reappearance, Dio swallowed his saliva without realizing it. Thinking about it now, I wondered how I could stand proudly in front of such a being with a weak body of level 10. Of course, at that time, I was in a situation where my adrenaline was secreted to the limit in order to somehow survive, but I couldn¡¯t help but feel dizzy when I thought about that time. Woe! Is it because it received the power of sepia? A dazzling light emanated from Adelia¡¯s entire body when she woke up. When the intense light subsided and Adelia reappeared, her appearance was noticeably different from before. Adelia¡¯s face, half of which remained only bones. However, Adelia¡¯s face, which had received the power of the sun, no longer contained the appearance of an undead. ¡°You¡­¡± A human voice began to come out of Adelia¡¯s mouth, not the voice that made my head pound like the Death Knight¡¯s. As soon as Adelia spotted Dio, she took a long stride towards him and stretched out her arms. I didn¡¯t mean to attack. It was as if I had met a precious person again. Adelia opened her arms and tried to embrace Dio. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Sepia was taken aback by Adelia¡¯s sudden behavior and ended up blocking Adelia¡¯s path and trying to push her away. Since Sepia does not know what happened in the Forgotten Temple, she cannot understand why Adelia is doing this. ¡°Wow¡­you look just like the saint I know.¡± ¡°yes yes?¡± ¡°Wait a minute Sepia.¡± After stopping Sephia, Dio faced Adelia and opened his mouth. ¡°My name is Dio. The god you serve. ¡°I am a great warrior chosen by the Solari.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, Adelia slowly backed away without saying a word. Sephia gives Adelia a wary look. ¡°Know.¡± Adelia accepted Dio¡¯s introduction, but she still couldn¡¯t hide her expression of disappointment. Adelia¡¯s expression looks endlessly sad. Dio knows that Adelia misses her former lover, but he refrains from mentioning it as much as possible. What Dio needed now was Adelia¡¯s help. ¡°Adelia. ¡°I need your strength now.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°War a thousand years ago. ¡°Can you tell me everything that happened there?¡± * * * A being guarding the southeastern part of the ecliptic that was attacked by Kaleina. This was Adelia Darc, whom Dio brought from the forgotten temple. Adelia willingly accepted Dio¡¯s help and also told him stories he did not know. The story was mostly about the continent¡¯s worst war, which took place a thousand years ago. It¡¯s a story about the saints of Solari and Luna who were active at that time, and what kind of power Luna used when she betrayed him. ¡®Adelia said that Luna and other saints have once absorbed the power of the Demon King.¡¯ Dio persistently questioned Adelia about the abilities of Luna¡¯s saint, who had absorbed the power of the Demon King. I was able to hear a key answer to this. Even though it attacked with powerful destructive magic, when it defended, it used its divine power to block all attacks from Solari believers. This was a story about using the same attribute to offset the attack. It was the same peculiarity that Sephia reported when dealing with the infected paladin. ¡®Information you can find here. It is said that the current Kaleina is at least on the same level as the saint from a thousand years ago¡­¡¯ Although this was something he had already heard from Solari, Dio secretly hoped that things would turn out differently than what happened a thousand years ago, when he directly defeated Solari. What is most problematic about this fact is that it is like saying that the Holy Maiden of Luna was the one who directly caused the downfall of the Solari a thousand years ago. What this means is that the current Kaleina is strong enough to rival God. Even if Dio completes this quest and reaches level 500, it may be a difficult fight. ¡®No, there¡¯s no need to fight or be scared. Even if the opponent uses the power of a god¡­¡¯ Dio decided to do what he could do best. The reason why Dio was able to survive on the order board. He had a spirit of challenge that did not give up even among players who complained that the strategy was impossible. Of course, this challenge will require you to take the risk of risking your life. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 196 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 196Episode 196: Inside the imperial capital, Dio and the others are doing their best to defend themselves. Calliope put her hand on the barrier blocking her with an expression that was different from usual, without the slightest smile. Puzzle-! As a dangerous spark warning of an intrusion flew out, Calliope quickly removed her raised hand. ¡®You can¡¯t believe they reversed the barrier that protected the Imperial Capital¡­¡¯ Calliope was appalled at the cunning of her enemies, who reversed the powerful barrier that had protected the Imperial Capital for hundreds of years and turned it into a prison. The barrier magic spread across the ecliptic was not a spell created by a single wizard. It is the highest barrier created by hundreds of the imperial court¡¯s elite magicians weaving magic formulas since the founding of Freud¡¯s empire. So people used to say that the imperial capital of the empire was an impregnable fortress that no one could invade. Saint Luna broke through the imperial barrier of such majesty without a care in the world. It¡¯s not just about piercing it. Except for the part of the sky that they penetrated, they tried to prevent allies from approaching the barrier that only prevented enemy invasion. ¡®The existing magic formula was forcibly changed. The complex barrier has already become difficult.¡¯ Calliope, who decided that she could not break through the barrier with force, immediately began researching the techniques that make up the barrier. They concluded that the only way was to understand the technique and lift the barrier. The current state of the barrier is one in which the techniques created by the greatest genius wizards of the time have been tangled and twisted like a skein of thread, destroying them. The membrane that made up the barrier was basically in the form of transparent water. The current barrier where Luna¡¯s saintess had made her move was filled with black magic energy floating around as if it were mixed with impurities. ¡®I understood the technique perfectly. The problem is that the mana circuit that makes up the spell must be burned¡­¡¯ Calliope¡¯s magical understanding was so great that he could solve the spell created by 100 genius wizards putting their heads together. However, the problem is that Calliope does not have enough mana to solve the magic spell. Even if Calliope¡¯s individual power is greater than the combined strength of dozens of archmages. The barrier in front of you now is a barrier created by hundreds of wizards injecting mana, not dozens. She had already been working on burning the mana circuit by injecting mana for some time. However, as time passed, Calliope was feeling that her mana was not enough to solve all the problems. ¡°Please save me!¡± ¡°Please get me out of this hell!¡± Even as Calliope lifted the barrier, people¡¯s screams continued to be heard from inside the barrier. They were refugees whom the imperial army could not protect. Dio and the imperial army were doing their best, but the ecliptic was too wide to protect all the civilians. Compared to the Demon Beasts and Luna Church soldiers, the Empire¡¯s forces were greatly inferior in numbers, so it was only natural. Therefore, the civilians who were unable to reach the imperial palace in the center or the defense line created by Dio and his party, who were damaged by enemy attacks, were trying to escape out of the imperial capital in any way possible. Crackling- crackling- ¡°Please!¡± ¡°help!¡± Dangerous sparks flew out from the barrier as if telling people not to approach, but people didn¡¯t care. For people now, the peaceful world outside the barrier is the only way out. Bang! Bang! Bang! People screaming to be taken out. Even though they knew that they could never destroy the barrier with their own strength, they hit the blocking barrier with all their might. The barrier was covered with the bloody palm prints of people hoping for salvation. Kaleyna¡¯s eyes trembled violently as she watched the terrible scene before her. Seeing the people asking for help in front of her, Calliope was reminded of a nightmare from a thousand years ago. She wasn¡¯t concerned about people¡¯s lives. However, Calliope had compassion for the people who had nothing to do with the war dying horribly. Before Calliope became a witch. The monastery took care of people fleeing war, including orphans. Despite her efforts, Calliope was ultimately unable to protect most people. This was why Calliope went into hiding after the war. Because I no longer wanted to get involved in the war taking place on the continent. But now Calliope couldn¡¯t run away like she did then. Solari and her great warrior reappeared after a thousand years. If not now, we will not be able to stop Luna¡¯s actions of constantly causing war in the name of peace over the past thousand years. ¡®Somehow¡­¡¯ We must somehow resolve the barrier in front of us. If this was not resolved, there was a high possibility of defeat without being able to properly fight Luna¡¯s saint. However, Calliope became more impatient as the screams of the imperial people grew louder, and the barrier still blocked her path like a mountain. Jijijijik ¨C Calliope did not worry about whether or not she could resolve the barrier. Because her only option now is to lift the barrier. The mana circuit that made up the spell that Calliope understood began to burn again with precision. Chijijijijik ¨C There was a reaction to the barrier, but the mana circuit was too much for Calliope to solve. Even if Calliope had enough power to burn the entire mana circuit, it seemed like she wouldn¡¯t be able to break through the barrier even after a year at her current speed. Plop down. Plop down. While Calliope was concentrating on the barrier, she heard someone¡¯s footsteps behind her. At the sound of walking sticks and footsteps alternating regularly, Kaleina maintained a stiff expression and slowly opened her mouth. ¡°¡­Aldur.¡± ¡°This is what happens in the end.¡± Aldur Filgrey, the owner of the Magic Tower and one of the five swords. It had been a long time since Calliope had met him in the magic world and sent him to a remote island far away across the sea. Aldur, holding a cane and covered in dust as if he had worked hard to get here, opened his mouth with a hollow smile. ¡°I had a hard time because of you. ¡°Who knew I could swim at this age?¡± Although not as good as Calliope, Aldur was an archmage with the ability to use long-distance teleportation. Nevertheless, the reason Aldur could not return to the front line quickly was because the place Calliope sent him was an unknown continent he had never set foot on for the first time in his life. Since I didn¡¯t know where I was, I couldn¡¯t tell the direction either. To reach a destination using teleportation, setting coordinates is essential. And Calliope, who knew this fact, sent it to a place so far away that Aldur could not easily determine its coordinates. ¡°¡­Should I have killed him then?¡± Calliope muttered, concentrating on the barrier but wary of Aldur¡¯s actions. Just solving the barrier was already too much, and there was no time to deal with five swords. Moreover, the opponent is an archmage who has reached the same level as himself. Even if he won the fight, there was no chance he would have the strength left to break the barrier. ¡°Don¡¯t be so guarded. ¡°I am now¡­¡± Aldur said as if he was trying to relax Calliope¡¯s guard. Aldur then took his eyes off Calliope and turned his attention to the people trapped inside the perimeter and screaming desperately. ¡°Because I came to help you.¡± ¡°¡­now what?¡± Calliope looked at Aldur with suspicion. Calliope has known Aldur for a long time. I knew that he was not a villain, and I also knew that he had strong beliefs of his own. A strong belief that the mighty power of the Luna Church will protect the continent. ¡°The saintess of Luna has crossed the line¡­ If she had gone to war with you with her own strength, I would have continued to stand on Luna¡¯s side.¡± Aldur, like Calliope, looked sadly at the people beyond the border. Aldur, who had been sent to a faraway place by Calliope, did not move straight to the ecliptic. After failing the Demon Lord¡¯s mission, he headed straight to the Luna Church¡¯s capital, where he witnessed something unbelievable. Soldiers of the Luna Church who accepted the power of demonic energy. Aldur sensed that the Holy Maiden of Luna had reached out to the power of darkness. ¡°So you¡¯re going to betray Luna and join me now?¡± ¡°Speak properly. I didn¡¯t betray you. ¡°Luna betrayed me.¡± In response to Kaleina¡¯s doubtful question, Aldur continued speaking with a stern expression. Aldur served as one of the five swords protecting the Luna Church and made a promise to the Holy Maiden of Luna. No matter what difficulties there are, the moment you lend strength to the darkness, the Magic Tower will no longer side with the Luna Church. So Aldur was able to make an easy decision upon reaching the ecliptic. Since Luna joined hands with the darkness and betrayed her beliefs. He also said that he had no reason to be on the side of the Luna Church in this war. ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°You still doubt it. good. Then I guess I¡¯ll need to show I¡¯m serious.¡± Seeing Calliope¡¯s cautious attitude, Aldur rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward. ¡°You must have already figured out the principles of this complex technique.¡± Aldur immediately brought his old staff to the barrier. ¡°Burning the mana circuit that is tangled like a thread. And if you cut the core that connects the mana circuit, the time can be greatly shortened.¡± ¡°for a moment!¡± Calliope was surprised to hear that he was cutting the core that made up the mana circuit and stopped him. As Aldur said, Calliope knew that the barrier could be quickly lifted using this method. Nevertheless, there was a reason Calliope did not use this method. ¡°Are you out of your mind? It is said that this barrier spreads across the entire ecliptic. Do you know how much mana is needed to sever the core of the circuit?¡± Even if we succeed in defeating the nucleus, there are bigger problems after that. Anyone who cuts out the core of the circuit will lose all of their mana. In that situation, the recoil caused by the forced release of the barrier must be fully absorbed. It is said that for one person to withstand the power of a barrier created by hundreds of wizards is tantamount to suicide. Despite Calliope¡¯s explanation, Aldur only smiled kindly at her and opened his mouth. ¡°I know.¡± Woe! Kugugugugu- Aldur¡¯s staff that was touching the barrier began to tremble violently. Nevertheless, Aldur never let go of his staff. Blood ¨C The veins that make up Aldur¡¯s arm holding the staff were clearly visible. Soon, blue mana started from Aldur¡¯s staff. The mana spread across the opaque barrier membrane as if flowing through the mana circuit that formed the complex magic of the barrier. And soon, Aldur¡¯s mana reached the mana core that made up the barrier. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Immediately it began to cause a huge shock. Hold it! It was only about 10 seconds since the ominous black sparks and Aldur¡¯s blue mana began to tangle. After that short period of time, the imperial barrier that was blocking them began to slowly collapse. Pusheeeeek- ¡°The rice wall has collapsed!¡± ¡°I¡¯m finally alive!¡± ¡°Oh thank God.¡± An injured person limping. A family hugging a crying child. An elderly couple holding each other¡¯s hands, completely terrified of fear. Refugees who would not be surprised if they were not killed by demonic beasts or Luna Church soldiers at any time. When the barrier collapsed, everyone, including me, ran out in tears. ¡°Thank you thank you.¡± ¡°Please be careful.¡± People quickly left, shedding tears and thanking Calliope. Calliope did not give up hope and eventually looked at them leaving the ecliptic, then quickly looked at Aldur. Were they not trying to instill anxiety in those running away? thud. As people are running out, Aldur can¡¯t stand it any longer and kneels on the floor. A puddle of blood had already formed where Aldur had been standing. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 197 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 197Episode 197 ¡°Aldur!¡± Calliope held Aldur¡¯s blood-covered shoulder and called his name. ¡°¡­It looks like it went well. Although I will never be able to use the legacy that Master left behind, I will never use it again. Cough.¡± Aldur looked dimly at his shattered staff. Anyway, even Calliope cutting off the core of the barrier was no different from gambling. No matter how great a wizard she was, the odds of her being able to penetrate the techniques created by hundreds of wizards and reach the core were not very high. Nevertheless, Aldur did what Calliope did not dare to do. The reason was because of the old cane he had. This is because the old staff, which looked unsightly, was a mythical artifact that the owner of the Magic Tower, who had been in existence for hundreds of years, passed down to his successor. Originally, it would not have been surprising if Aldur¡¯s body was shattered by the recoil caused by the collapse of the ecliptic barrier. However, the price was paid by the staff that proved the owner of the magic tower for a long time. Of course, even so, Aldur¡¯s condition was not that good. The staff only prevented Aldur¡¯s body from falling into pieces. Aldur¡¯s condition was already not perfect due to severe mana exhaustion and mana reflux caused by the recoil of the barrier. ¡°You¡¯re going to die.¡± ¡°Thank you. There¡¯s no need to tell me¡­¡± Aldur muttered a humorous answer to Calliope¡¯s words. But even for a moment, Aldur put on a serious expression and raised his head to look at the sky. ¡°I was foolish¡­I only now found out that Luna¡¯s saint was being corrupted.¡± Aldur¡¯s regret for believing that Luna¡¯s power could protect the world. When people suffered from monsters that appeared across the continent, the Luna Church had the power but ignored their calls for help. Luna did not increase her strength to protect the world. He simply became greedy for greater power, fearing that a new force would one day appear against him. That¡¯s why we joined hands with darkness without hesitation. ¡°Just because I didn¡¯t know doesn¡¯t mean my fault goes away. Cough.¡± Aldur blamed himself for his ignorance. His actions in helping the Luna Church were ultimately a sin. So Aldur decided to break the barrier despite Calliope¡¯s warning. That is¡­ ¡°Because it is the only atonement that I can do now.¡± Dying Aldur. However, a smile appeared on his face as if he felt at ease. ¡°Stop going¡­they need your help.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Aldur pointed to the sky of the ecliptic where the barrier had disappeared. In that sky, a dragon that had not been seen for a thousand years was moving through the sky and approaching Calliope. The Holy Maiden of Solari and the Last Dragon. Flapping ¨C Adi¡¯s huge wings, which were close to the ground, moved slowly, and even Aldur, who was exhausted, was amazed by this magnificence. ¡°A dragon that protects the sun¡­ how beautiful it is¡­¡± ¡°I never thought the day would come when I would hear the price of a dying old man.¡± Calliope left Aldur alone and approached Sepia, who came to see her. ¡°Dear Calliope! ¡°You finally did it!¡± ¡°okay. ¡°It came at the right time.¡± ¡°When you find Calliope, Dio asked me to contact you right away.¡± ¡°okay. ¡°Would you please leave the rest to me and take a look at me?¡± Calliope couldn¡¯t leave Aldur, who solved the barrier on her behalf, like that. She entrusted Aldur to Sepia and immediately cast a spell. The ecliptic barrier¡¯s very existence interfered with Calliope¡¯s spell. However, now that the interfering barrier has disappeared, Calliope was able to activate the communication magic using mana without difficulty. ¡°I have to tell you the news quickly.¡± * * * [They finally lifted the barrier.] The Solari forces were not the only ones who learned that the imperial barrier had been neutralized. Saint Luna and the Demon Lord Rademos immediately noticed the moment when the core connecting the mana circuit was instantly destroyed with a great shock. ¡°I know. ¡°It looks like Aldur betrayed him.¡± [Those famous Luna¡¯s swords aren¡¯t of any help. Is this okay?] Rademos said with a sneer, but Kaleyna¡¯s expression did not change at all. It¡¯s as if he was already anticipating Aldur¡¯s betrayal. ¡°Since I have decided to be with you, the five swords are just like throwing away cards. ¡°It was assumed from the beginning.¡± [Indeed¡­] Rademos noticed what Kaleyna was saying. There is currently no force in the Luna Church that would oppose Kaleina¡¯s acceptance of darkness. If the five swords were alive, they could have resisted or rebelled against accepting the darkness, centering around them. So, from the beginning, Kaleina had planned to kill Aldur if he returned to the Luna Church. Of course, Aldur, who may have sensed Kaleina¡¯s thoughts, committed suicide through the Imperial Barrier. Still, Kaleyna didn¡¯t care. ¡°It has no effect on my plans. It¡¯s rather appropriate. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have been able to take any more time with the barrier anyway.¡± ¡°It won¡¯t go your way.¡± Someone other than Rademos took her words for granted. A person glaring at Kaleyna in front of a cracked throne. Freud was the emperor of empire. The place where Kaleina is currently located is none other than Avalon Palace. As it was the place where the emperor was hiding, the security of Avalon Palace was tight, but Saint Luna invaded without any hesitation. They took advantage of the sit-in protest between the Luna Church¡¯s troops and demonic beasts centered around the imperial family to target the emperor¡¯s safety. ¡°Even if you kill me, Luna can never win.¡± Even though he was bound by magic, the Emperor spoke to Kaleyna without any hesitation. ¡°That¡¯s foolish. Emperor of the Empire. ¡°You don¡¯t understand the value of your life.¡± ¡°her! Aren¡¯t you really mistaken? ¡°People will fight for a hero who protects them now rather than an emperor who was defeated and did nothing.¡± The Emperor¡¯s words that the leader of the force currently opposing the Luna Church is not him, but a hero. Hearing the emperor¡¯s words, Kaleina snapped her fingers with an expressionless expression. ¡°Tsk!¡± At Kaleina¡¯s gesture, the Emperor rose into the air without any resistance. Tsutsutsu-! Is it light? Is it darkness? The emperor was caught by the coexistence of light and darkness and dragged helplessly in front of Kaleina.

Togak-tto-gak- Kaleina slowly walked forward with the emperor, who was captured without movement, leading her. ¡°You still don¡¯t know.¡± Kaleina slowly opened her mouth as she left the palace with the emperor. ¡°The reason the Great Warrior is becoming stronger now is because he is God¡¯s representative.¡± The reason why Kaleina captured the emperor. The reason is because there was a way to reliably hit Dio, the great warrior. ¡°The stronger the faith, the stronger the power of the Daejeon Temple. That¡¯s why your life has value.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Even if you are okay with yourself, do you think the people in the empire are okay too?¡± The emperor bit his lip at Kaleyna¡¯s words. I tried to escape from the restraints somehow, but I could never escape from Kaleyna with the Emperor¡¯s power. ¡°It brings despair to the empire that believed in the Great War. ¡°That is enough.¡± Bang ¨C The magnificent iron gate of Avalon Palace opened at once, matching Kaleyna¡¯s steps. The fishy smell of blood immediately wafted out. The sight of the blood and corpses of what appeared to be imperial guards lined up in the hallway was truly horrific. ¡°If faith turns into doubt¡­ the power of the Great Warrior will also weaken.¡± The emperor was almost shaken for a moment by Kaleyna¡¯s confident words, but he strengthened his resolve again. The emperor loved heroic narratives so much that he felt like a child while watching Dio and the Dragon. So I had no doubt about it. The hope that the great warrior of the sun gives to people. The courage of now. ¡°You are wrong. Because of my death, people will unite even more. ¡°Because a warrior becomes stronger in the face of trials.¡± Kaleina twitched her eyebrows for the first time at the emperor¡¯s strong will. But that only lasts for a moment. ¡°Whose idea is right¡­ we will find out soon.¡± After coming out of the imperial palace, Kaleina headed toward the square without stopping. The area around the imperial palace has already been devastated by Luna Church soldiers and demonic beasts. This terrible scene was the first to be experienced since the founding of the empire. The status of the empire, which seemed like it would last forever, collapsed helplessly in less than a day. The imperial palace was already half destroyed, and the corpses of the empire¡¯s elite knights seemed to show the fall of the empire. -Huh huh. -are you okay. Everything will be okay. -Your Majesty¡­! People hiding in the rubble of a collapsed building. They took refuge near Avalon Palace to avoid the attack, but ended up in a situation where death was just around the corner with the sudden appearance of Kaleyna. They were anxiously watching the Holy Maiden of Luna heading toward the square, making no noise. The reason why they did not deal with Kaleina, who had captured the imperial family at once, was simple. If you die while having faith in Solari, it will transform into even greater faith and give strength to the Great Warrior. So, Kaleina deliberately dragged the emperor, who had been treated so cruelly by the people, to the square. To break what Solari sees as her last hope. Arriving in the middle of the square, Kaleina kneeled down to show off the emperor. Sigh ¨C The magic chains that bound the emperor held him firmly in place as he knelt. He looks like a prisoner about to be executed. Leaving the emperor behind, Kaleyna slowly walked around and opened her mouth. ¡°Listen.¡± Kaleina¡¯s words to the people of the empire who are hiding and watching this. ¡°As of today, the Empire will disappear from the map of the continent forever.¡± Kaleina, who caught everyone¡¯s attention, immediately declared the end of the emperor and the empire. ¡°The Empire did only one thing wrong. ¡°The crime of serving heresy.¡± Kaleina slowly raised her hand. The ominous mana condensed in her hand formed a single shape, which formed a spear above the Emperor¡¯s head. Paching-! A window of light where sacredness and ominousness coexist. ¡°That¡¯s it.¡± Kaleina, who created the spear, immediately swung her hand and the shining spear fell towards the emperor¡¯s neck. Kagak! That brief moment when the shining spear was about to pierce the emperor¡¯s neck. Kang! Quagwagwang! Someone knocked out the window. In the aftermath, a shock wave spread throughout the surrounding area. Kugugugugugung- ¡°Hide behind the wall!¡± ¡°Ugh¡­!¡± ¡°Look over there! That person¡­!¡± People could see. Their hope of saving the emperor by clearing away the thick dust. their courage. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Yes, I came.¡± This is Solari¡¯s great fight that will stop Luna¡¯s Holy Maiden. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 198 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 198Chapter 198 Even with the appearance of Dio, who saved the emperor, Kaleyna¡¯s expression did not change. Her deep, abyss-like eyes were only fixed on Dio. Since Kaleina did not make any special movements, Dio swung his sword at the chains of light that bound the Emperor¡¯s arms and legs. Clink- The Emperor is free from Kaleina¡¯s magic. Dio quickly got the emperor up and opened his mouth. ¡°your majesty. Are you okay?¡± ¡°okay. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°My colleagues will be in the south. ¡°Take people with you and take refuge there.¡± At Dio¡¯s words, the emperor nodded without delay. The emperor had a lot to say to Dio, who saved him, but he didn¡¯t. This was because he knew that the longer he held Dio here, the more he would only become a distraction. Because right now, the only one who can stand against Luna¡¯s saint is Dio, the great warrior. ¡°¡­Please be careful. ¡°The power that Saint Luna uses is not only divine power.¡± The emperor spoke briefly about whether what he had witnessed might be of help to Dio. The darkness of Kaleina, which decimated the royal guards, was too dangerous even for the emperor to see. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. ¡°Everything will be fine.¡± Dio was also fully aware of the emperor¡¯s concerns thanks to Solarina Adelia. Dio, who had sent the emperor off like that, approached Kaleyna, who was watching him personally. ¡°It looks like you were waiting for me¡­do you have something you want to say?¡± Dio was wary of not only Kaleina, who was confronting him, but also his surroundings. Did Kaleina personally walk to the square simply to execute the emperor? ¡®It doesn¡¯t look like there¡¯s an ambush¡­¡¯ Currently, in Dio¡¯s field of vision, there are no sights of the Luna Church soldiers or demonic beasts that burned down the imperial capital. Even though Dio¡¯s group and the imperial army were dealing with them elsewhere¡­ still, the fact that there were only two people in this square was enough to be cautious. ¡°A thousand years ago.¡± Kaleyna¡¯s voice awakens Dio, who was distracted by tens of thousands of thoughts. Kaleyna was kind enough to continue speaking after a pause so that Dio could concentrate. ¡°Luna made a fatal mistake.¡± Dio frowned at Kaleyna¡¯s words, mentioning the god she served rather than Solari. However, following Kaleyna¡¯s words, Dio could understand what she was trying to say. ¡°Luna did not directly destroy the sun, but used the power of the Demon King to curse it.¡± Luna, the victor from a thousand years ago, suffered minimal damage compared to the defeated Solari and the Demon King, but she was also not completely intact. So, in order to preserve her own power, Luna planned to use the curse to completely destroy the remnants of Solari. ¡°That was a mistake. Even if my strength was exhausted, I had to destroy the sun myself.¡± Kaleina says that it was Luna¡¯s defeat that caused the curse. As she said, the believers of Solari were finally able to overcome the curse and rise again. For the Solari who had been forgotten for a thousand years. ¡°Are you so dissatisfied with that? So what. ¡°Go back a thousand years?¡± Dio, who was listening to Kaleyna¡¯s words, snorted and responded. Even to Dio, the sight of the so-called Saint of Luna looking at the evil of the god she served was truly ridiculous. Kaleina only smiled at Dio¡¯s sarcasm. Kaleyna¡¯s smile contained passionate beauty. If people who didn¡¯t know about Kaleina¡¯s evil deeds saw it, the beauty of that smile would make them lose their souls. However, the reality hidden in aesthetics was never beauty. chaos. Light and darkness, which can never coexist, were the truth that Kaleina held. Dio, who knew this, was just horrified. ¡°Going back¡­ The great warrior knows how to talk nonsense.¡± What was so funny about Dio¡¯s words was that Kaleyna¡¯s smile continued for a while. ¡°I will be different from the Luna I was back then. ¡°I¡­¡± Kaleina¡¯s eyes, which were like abysses, began to shine. And then her next decision. ¡°I will never leave you alive.¡± Dio could personally feel Kaleyna¡¯s madness contained in her words. Kaleina was someone I had met countless times on the order board, but I couldn¡¯t see her like that at all. Unlike Luna, who simply placed a curse, Kaleina¡¯s words declare complete annihilation. Her madness was so ridiculous that even Scarlett, nicknamed Optics, was laughable compared to Kaleyna. ¡®You¡¯re truly crazy.¡¯ Dio recalled a recent system window that confirmed the number of Solari believers. The number of believers listed there was around 8 million. Kaleina¡¯s declaration now was the same as declaring that she would annihilate all of them, including Dio. ¡®Is this Kaleyna¡¯s true form? Or is it a future that has been changed by my intervention?¡¯ Even in the midst of the urgency, Dio suddenly thought about what kind of person Kaleina was on the order board. What if Dio still didn¡¯t know about Solari¡¯s existence? Did Kaleina remain the only saint protecting the continent as Dio originally thought? And that¡¯s it. ¡®Useless thoughts.¡¯ Dio shook his head and glared at Solari. It was by no means her fault that Kaleina was out of her mind right now. This was a choice made by Kaleyna, who reached out to the darkness out of fear of having her position taken away. Dio¡¯s goal is to fight and win against Kaleina. No, killing Kaleyna. ¡®I came here just to try it out¡­ but if I do this wrong, I could die.¡¯ Dio was confronting Kaleina alone, but to be honest, he wasn¡¯t confident about a one-on-one match yet. This is because the quest to annihilate the monsters of the ecliptic has not been completed yet, so the experience reward has not been obtained. Nevertheless, rescuing the emperor from Kaleina¡¯s hands was something Dio could not help doing. ¡®I can never defeat Kaleina alone. More than half of the power of faith must be from the people of the empire¡­¡¯ The emperor¡¯s existence was so important to him that Dio risked his life to rescue him. I even considered the worst possible situation: losing this battle and running away. And the people who must survive to plan the future are yourself and the emperor. Of course, even if the purpose was not to rescue the emperor, Dio thought about running into Kaleina at least once during the quest. Although it was a situation I hoped to avoid if at all possible. ¡®I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be completely pushed out though. Even though the level is lower, the equipment is not behind.¡¯ Of course, there is a possibility that Kaleina possesses items that Dio did not think of. However, if we exclude that possibility and think about Kaleina armed only with Luna¡¯s holy relics. The performance of Dio¡¯s current warehouse items was slightly higher. Plus, the war that Death Knight Adelia told us about. The abilities of Luna¡¯s saint, who was active in that war, were handed over in detail. ¡®The abilities I know about Kaleina and the abilities Adelia taught me are similar, but their tendencies are completely different.¡¯ When helping the player, Kaleina generally used buff-type magic. However, Adelia said that the saintess from a thousand years ago who joined forces with the Demon King mainly used attack magic that mixed magical energy in addition to divine power. ¡®But most of them are abilities that maximize their effectiveness in multiple battles. How about one-on-one¡­.¡¯ Dio thought of the magic that Kaleina would use now. He could strengthen his body by indulging in the power of the moon and darkness, and he could also fire wide-range magic that was difficult to avoid. Is it because Dio¡¯s ability to come up with solutions to various situations is so obvious? ¡°You seem to have a lot on your mind.¡± Kaleyna took a step forward and stretched out her arms. Magic chain I saw when I tied the emperor. This was Dio¡¯s first experience with the feeling of the chain magic that looked and felt like the chain magic favored by the warlock Viktor. On Kaleina¡¯s right arm is a black chain with dark magic energy surrounding it. A white chain containing Luna¡¯s holy power appeared on her left arm. ¡°Would you like to see my skills?¡± As Kaleyna spoke, announcing the start of the fight, the chains on her arms expanded further and dug into the ground. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Clearly, there was no space on the ground that Kaleina was standing on. However, the chain created by Kaleina was absorbed into the ground. Eventually, the two chains fell off Kaleyna¡¯s arms with a ting sound. Liquid-! Dio, who had not let go of his tension, hastily shook his head. Although he couldn¡¯t see it, he could hear the energy he felt from Kaleyna and the sound of the wind cutting right next to him. Pibit ¨C A black chain grazing Dio¡¯s cheek. Kaleina¡¯s chains that had seeped into the ground suddenly appeared next to Dio. ¡®Is this an attack based on transfer magic?¡¯ Dio moved quickly, looking into the air where the chain was sticking out. Sure enough, this time a white chain protruded from the space created at the bottom of Dio. Sigh, liquid! S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Dio jumped high on the floor and turned around, fortunately the second chain attack did not reach him. This was because Dio, who had learned the attack pattern he had experienced previously, was able to predict the second attack in that short moment. However, the opponent is the Holy Maiden of Luna, who has joined forces with the Demon King. Kaleina, who couldn¡¯t stop attacking with the chain, crossed her arms. Uuuuung- Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrancing Dio. The two chains that appeared around Dio crossed each other and formed a knot. When the two chains were knotted, a strong explosion occurred near the point where they intersected. Quang! A dazzling flash of light struck Dio. It was not simply a follow-up attack using explosive power. At the point where the chains were fused, a new space opened up, and this time, a strange form of magic combining darkness and light was shot towards Dio. ¡®This is crazy! ¡®You can¡¯t avoid this!¡¯ It was Dio who moved to avoid the chains coming from an unexpected place. In other words, a situation where one¡¯s ¡®turn¡¯ is used to avoid the opponent¡¯s attack. Dio, who had just landed on the floor after jumping up, raised his sword towards the magic stream coming towards him. Since evasion is impossible, we have no choice but to block. Dio, who was about to face Kaleina in a decisive battle, decided to avoid the attack as much as possible without even thinking about parrying or blocking it. It was a natural strategy since he was aware that the other party¡¯s power was greater than his own. However, Kaleina¡¯s attack sees through this strategy as if it were funny. In response, Dio gritted his teeth and swung the sword he was holding with all his might. Paang! Kaleina¡¯s attack, blocked by Dio¡¯s sword, was divided into two. Dio prepared for the shock, but¡­ Jiing- ¡®What? ¡®Is it bearable?¡¯ Dio looked strangely at his arm, which was shaking from the attack. It¡¯s not that there was no shock at all, but it was much less shocking than I thought. Dio never thought that Kaleina would care for him. Tiring! A system window appeared before his eyes that answered his questions. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [The number of believers has exceeded 1,000,000.] [The Apostle of God achievement has been achieved.] [As a result of the achievement reward, the ability level increased by the power of faith is increased by 5%.

This was by no means a single war between the Luna Church and the Empire to determine the winner of the continent. Clink-ding-ding- ¡°It¡¯s an attack!¡± ¡°Everyone run away!¡± ¡°Report to the lord!¡± The sound of bells ringing in villages located on the nearby coast or forest. These were the screams of people fighting against the attacks of monsters attacking the city from beneath the surface. The main force of the Luna Church crossed space by Kaleina and immediately raided the imperial capital. However, like the Luna Church¡¯s troops, that was not all the demonic beasts that raided the imperial capital. This is because Kaleina¡¯s summoning was limited and the number of demon beasts was too large for all of them to move through space. So the demonic beasts crossed the entire continent. This was because he responded to the call of the demon king Rademos contained in Kaleina¡¯s body. Rademos¡¯ order to focus all-out war on the imperial capital. Even if Rademos did not directly summon the demon beasts, the demon beasts that were hiding from the eyes of humans were all drawn to the demon king¡¯s power. As a result, the chaos in Hwangdo Bay aggravated and spread throughout the continent. Fortunately, the large cities that had prepared for war and the lords who had enough private soldiers were fortunate. Most of them were Solari forces that could dispatch troops at any time at the Empire¡¯s request. This was thanks to the fact that the Empire had ordered the troops to be moved slowly in 15 days, so they were ready. On the other hand, those who refused the empire¡¯s request. Most of them were still supporters of Luna rather than Solari, who suddenly appeared. The empire also left a message to those people. A warning to prepare for the upheaval of war as it is okay not to cooperate with them. Nevertheless, they ignored the warnings given by the great warriors of the Empire and Solari, and ended up in a situation where they were directly affected by the disaster caused by this incident. The thoughts of those who did not prepare for war were simple. While the status of Solari rose due to the eastern journey, those who still believed in Luna dismissed this war as something that had nothing to do with them. The Empire¡¯s troops only move towards the border with the Luna Church. In addition, the Luna Church did not express its position on convening the military, so they simply followed Luna¡¯s actions in what they believed. People who believed without any doubt in Luna¡¯s doctrine of hope for peace and well-being on the continent. They just thought that preparing for a war that would never happen was a waste of money and time. In addition, hostility toward the empire grew stronger day by day. As a result¡­. ¡°My lord! The western stockade has been destroyed by monsters. At this rate, the monsters will cross the Lord¡¯s Castle in an instant!¡± ¡°Ask the Luna Church for help!¡± ¡°Well¡­all communication networks leading directly to the Luna Church have been cut off. According to what I heard, they seem to have raided the imperial capital.¡± ¡°This profit! It was a lie. ¡°The whole thing about protecting us was a lie!¡± The screams of the lord who believed in Luna until the end did not just happen in one place. Farmers plowing the fields normally from morning. Fishermen catching fish. For those who simply believed in the lord¡¯s words or had no doubt that Luna would protect them, it was nothing short of a disaster. They fought for their lives with farming tools, kitchen knives, and rocks and stones, but they never won. It was not enough to stop the monsters that reacted to the Demon King¡¯s power, and they had no choice but to suffer disaster. As a result, tragedies of losing family and living spaces occurred across the continent. A continent burning everywhere. People resisted and prayed until the end. The first person I prayed to was none other than the Luna Church. ¡°O Supreme Moon Goddess. ¡°Please save us.¡± However, Luna did not respond to their sincere prayers. Rather, only the ugly news that Luna was leading the war against the empire and causing the dark forces to spread spread quickly. People were grasping at straws and looking for a God who could save them, as anyone would like. God of abundance, God of the sea, God of nature. When the power of faith in seeking help from God reached its peak, a miracle occurred. A goddess who has disappeared from people¡¯s memories for a thousand years. She answered people¡¯s prayers and extended the hand of salvation they longed for. [The sun will be with you.] Solari¡¯s light reached even those who did not remember her. Even for those who pray to Luna until the end. Not a single person turned a blind eye to the cries of people desperately seeking help. That¡¯s how the miracle began. Woe! The clouds that filled the sky cleared and the sun revealed itself to people. The brilliant light healed the injured and gave them strength. Solari¡¯s blessing did not stop there, but it stopped the advance of the demonic beasts that seemed unstoppable to anyone. The light containing Solari¡¯s power weakened the demonic beasts, and those that touched it writhed in pain. In addition, the shining sun was reflected on the weapons of those resisting the demon beasts, easily neutralizing the demon beasts. ¡°The sun protects us!¡± ¡°For the Solari!¡± People who have gained hope. They shouted Solari and confronted the demon beasts. The front lines across the continent that had been occupied by demonic beasts were quickly recaptured by those who received Solari¡¯s power. People poured out tears and cheers, relieved to have survived and grateful for Solari¡¯s grace. Solari was no longer a god forgotten by people. The sun was the only one who held out a hand during a time of death that seemed inevitable. People could tell. This sun that brightly illuminates the world. That he will protect us forever. The large-scale invasion that began at dawn ultimately ended in the people¡¯s victory. At noon, when the sun rises most dazzlingly. * * * Dio ran countless simulations to deal with Kaleina, who had combined with the Demon King. Based on the conclusion at that time, the power of level 500 Kaleina was set at 10. However, the strength of Kaleina that Dio feels right now is around 8. Dio was able to know through the system that this was due to the power of faith, which suddenly increased the number of believers. ¡®But why?¡¯ Dio thought as he quickly widened the distance after parrying Kaleina¡¯s attack. He understood that his strength had become stronger. However, why the number of believers suddenly increased was a question for Dio to think about. [Solari followers: 11920004] Even though it has been a while since the number exceeded 10 million, the increase has never decreased. In fact, nearly two million believers expressed interest in joining Solari again. ¡®Solari¡­it makes sense if she came forward herself.¡¯ Dio remembered his last conversation with Solari. She could not finish saying that the barrier on the ecliptic was hindering her power. But now the ecliptic barrier has disappeared. Solari, who regained her strength by Dio¡¯s side, chose the method that would best help him. ¡®The magic beasts affected by Rademos¡¯ power cannot remain still. Solari is probably helping people who are being harmed by them.¡¯ After quickly assessing the situation, Dio¡¯s thoughts turned out to be exactly right. That¡¯s because it would be impossible to increase the number of believers in an instant without using the above method. Perhaps it was an obvious guess. ¡®I guess I¡¯ve just regained my strength¡­ but I¡¯m worried I might overdo it.¡¯ Dio is not particularly worried that Solari¡¯s power will run out. Since he can only deal with Kaleina with the power that Solari gives him, he is worried about the future as he does not know what will happen next. For that reason, we have no choice but to think about the burden Solari has from Dio¡¯s perspective. This is because it was too much for Dio to even imagine spreading across the entire continent and sharing power with people. Solari could not easily approach Dio due to the barrier, so he could not provide direct help. However, now that the barrier is gone, Solari could have delivered the power directly to Dio, but she did not. And Dio was not at all disappointed with Solari¡¯s choice as it was something he could understand. ¡°I see¡­are you planning to see the forest?¡± Kaleina, who had been pressuring Dio with strong attacks from the beginning, also seemed to have noticed something and muttered. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ¨C The chain Kaleina created was recovered with Kaleina¡¯s arm without attacking Dio further. Dio recognized it right away. Among the powers used by Kaleina, the energy of the white chain with divine power has decreased slightly. ¡®Luna¡¯s faith has decreased! If this happens, thank you to me!¡¯ The method Solari chose was not limited to just making Dio stronger. Kaleina, like Dio, is also a being who possesses the Power of Faith skill. However, Kaleina¡¯s only goal now was to kill Dio, so she never thought about the public sentiment on the continent. And in the aftermath, many believers who gave Luna the power of faith turned their backs on her. As if to prove this, hasn¡¯t Kaleina¡¯s power weakened? ¡°I think it¡¯s a bit more manageable now, don¡¯t you think?¡± Dio gave strength to the sword he was holding again and stepped forward. The gap in power initially thought was reduced by Solari¡¯s intervention. Of course, it cannot be said that Kaleina¡¯s power has been surpassed yet, but even at this moment, Solari¡¯s followers were growing rapidly. The number of Solari believers, which had approached 12 million, was now soaring again toward 1300. ¡°I guess I was planning to scare people with demonic beasts¡­ What should I do with this? ¡°Because things aren¡¯t going well.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Dio, hoping to catch the opponent off guard through an unexpected situation, began to deliberately provoke Kaleina. However, although the smile she had shown at first disappeared, Kaleyna did not look particularly embarrassed. The solemn and sacred appearance of Kaleina that Dio remembered from the order board. It¡¯s like I have no idea what he¡¯s thinking. ¡®No matter what the opponent thinks, the turn has passed to me.¡¯ Dio¡¯s initial plan when facing Kaleina was to hold out while his comrades dealt with the demons of the imperial capital. Otherwise, I was thinking of leaving the position after figuring out Kaleina¡¯s strength. However, the plan at that time was completely revised. ¡®Perhaps now is an opportunity. ¡®With the highest power I can produce!¡¯ Quang! The ground Dio was stepping on was dented by the force he released. Kaleina is not the only one whose faith in Luna has diminished. The power of the Demon King she cooperated with was also likely to diminish. The more people who receive Solari¡¯s power hunt demonic beasts, the weaker the demon lord will become. [Use the forgotten sword technique ¡®Island¡¯.] [Use the solar strike.] The sword Dio held out flashed for a moment. It wasn¡¯t Kaleina he was targeting. It was a declaration of Dio¡¯s own sanctuary that he created by applying his skills and the power of the sun. Hwaaaaaaaaa! The power of the sun emanating from Dio began to rise high into the sky. The pillar of light that was created in this way swallowed up Luna¡¯s power surrounding Kaleina at once. Dio, who took control of the field in an instant, kicked the ground without hesitation. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 200 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 200Episode 200 The time of noon when the sun rises highest. The hope of those who defeated the demonic beasts on the continent spread quickly. As the waves of the sun rolled over and illuminated the continent, Dio¡¯s power grew stronger. [Solari¡¯s followers: 13013218] [Applied increased ability value: 136.5%] Dio is now in a state where he can produce more than twice the strength as usual. The reason why Dio did not attack Kaleina right away and took control of the field first was simple. This is to further take advantage of situations that are advantageous to oneself. Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! The sword Dio swung was blocked by the shining spear created by Kaleina. Chijijik- Kaleyna did not swing the spear herself. However, the spear, which floated on its own and took Dio¡¯s attack, was pushed back by the impact. Kaleyna was also affected by this, and her legs, which were fixed to the floor, were pushed away. ¡®Does my side have the upper hand?¡¯ Seeing Kaleina being pushed aside, it seemed like Dio had the upper hand for a moment. However, Dio quickly withdrew his thoughts. phut! With a sound, Dio¡¯s sword bounced, and Kaleina strongly grasped her outstretched palm. Quad deud deuk! Dio was out of breath for a moment. It was because the surrounding air became heavy due to Kaleyna¡¯s gesture. ¡®Space change!¡¯ Dio noticed that the skill Kaleina used was the devil¡¯s ability and spread his arms. The plan was to use the power of the sun to stop Kaleina, who was distorting the surrounding space. Paang! Just as the air expands, the atmosphere that was pressuring Dio dissipated. Dio took advantage of that opportunity and moved quickly. The target of magic using spatial changes is not the player, but a designated location. So Dio quickly left the area targeted by Kaleina. ¡®What about the back!¡¯ Dio is located behind Kaleina¡¯s back. The speed that Dio can achieve now is faster than the speed of movement of the spear created by Kaleina. So Dio excluded the spear protecting Kaleina and swung his sword with all his might. Kaang! Did they anticipate Dio¡¯s movements like this? Another spear appeared from an invisible corner and blocked Dio¡¯s sword. ¡®Ardvar!¡¯ Dio once again noticed that the spear that attacked him was not created by Kaleina¡¯s magic. Ardvar, one of Luna¡¯s relics. Among the relics used by Kaleina, there are few types of weapons. However, as there are not many of them, each one shows off its powerful power. Kaleina never went into battle directly like she did now, but Dio clearly remembered the presence of Ardvar, who was always protecting her. Let¡¯s go! Ardvar, who was floating on his own, began to emit strong electricity. That powerful electric charge, like lightning, was fired straight at Dio. ¡°Tsk!¡± What is attacking Dio is literally lightning. Dio, who did not dare to avoid the speed at which the electricity was discharged, received the attack. It is not just about believing in and receiving increased physical abilities through the power of faith. ¡®Graceful all-purpose jade¡¯ obtained from Duke Bertio¡¯s secret warehouse. The gracious, all-purpose jade has a special effect that grants properties to equipment items. Using this, Dio gave properties to the platinum dragon armor he was equipped with. This is the ¡®Earth¡¯ attribute, which is the only attribute that can defend against the ¡®Electricity¡¯ attribute. Dio, who received Ardvar¡¯s attack with his body, immediately stretched out his arms. Boom! Then, the power of the sun surrounding the tip of Dio¡¯s sword passed through Ardvar and headed towards Kaleyna¡¯s head. Quagwagwagwang! Dio¡¯s counterattack was like a bombing raid. This was possible because Dio already knew that Ardvar¡¯s attack type was electric. ¡®The damage received was minimal. ¡®Who are you?¡¯ Although the damage was minimized with the all-purpose jade, it did not mean that there was no damage at all, so Dio quickly checked his physical condition. Fortunately, thanks to a quick response, only a small amount of stamina was lost, and the same was true for Kaleina, who was counterattacked by Dio¡¯s attack. Fire ¨C Dio¡¯s attack, which condenses and releases the energy of the sun, basically has strong explosive power. It was clearly a direct hit to Kaleyna, but she effortlessly cleared away the dust without any damage. ¡®Damn, that shield skill is definitely¡­ it can¡¯t even make a dent with most attacks.¡¯ Dio put his sword back as he looked at the film that had formed around Kaleina. That shield did not simply have the effect of protecting against enemy attacks. ¡®Divine Shield¡¯. This skill, which has the best effect among protection-type magic, not only defends against enemy attacks, but also provides a buff to the caster¡¯s defense and magic attack power. This means that the attack Kaleina casts from now on will be more powerful than the previous attack. Ugh ¨C Kaleyna¡¯s hand with her index finger extended pointed to the sky. Luna¡¯s light condenses here. This was similar to the solar explosion that Sepia used when she annihilated the demonic beasts at the beginning of the Demonic World. Piing-! Following the trajectory of Kaleina¡¯s arm, the small beads she created fell on Dio¡¯s head. ¡®Reduce the area touched as much as possible!¡¯ This is an attack that cannot be avoided. Dio knew that this attack, similar to Sepia¡¯s attack skill, was a large-scale, wide-area attack skill, so he held the sword he was holding in reverse and immediately lowered his stance. Coo! The turbulence of the earth begins the moment the bead touches the earth. A pillar of light filled with the power of the moon soared mercilessly onto the solid ground. And, without fail, the energy of the moon rose to the place where Dio was standing. Cheeeeeeeek- ¡®I can endure this much.¡¯ Although wide-area magic cannot be avoided, it has lower attack power than single magic. So Dio didn¡¯t go out of his way to increase the opponent¡¯s striking range. Here, if you move to avoid it, you have prevented in advance the possibility of a catastrophe being double or triple hit by wide-area magic. ¡®This is a complete monster.¡¯ However, this time too, perhaps because the damage was not completely prevented, Dio¡¯s body was filled with vapor-like smoke as the moon¡¯s energy passed by. However, simply surviving such a large attack by minimizing damage is a meaningful enough strategy. The mana and sacred power consumed by the opponent will be greater in proportion to the damage Dio receives. ¡®The protective abilities used by the original Kaleina, Sephia¡¯s offensive abilities, the Demon King¡¯s anomalous abilities¡­ all of these are mixed together.¡¯ Due to the previous battle, Dio was able to figure out the attack pattern used by Kaleina. It may seem anomalous due to the added power of the Demon King Rademos, but it was not to Dio, who had caught the Demon King several times. Even within those anomalous attacks, there are rules. And once you figured out the rules, there was always a way to catch them off guard. ¡®The problem is that Kaleyna¡¯s divine power is filling the gap¡­¡¯ Dio shook off the steam clinging to his body and got up from his squat. ¡°Is the search war over?¡± Through the cleared away steam, Kaleyna¡¯s smiling face was revealed. From Kaleina¡¯s words, it was clear that he had already anticipated that Dio would engage in a search war. ¡°I guess there was an estimate for that too?¡± In response to Dio¡¯s reply, Kaleina smiled and folded her hands in front of her. ¡°okay. Now that the exploration battle is over, shall we get started properly?¡± Although the heavens and earth shook and space was distorted by the attack just now, for them it was just a battle of exploration. Like Dio, Kaleina had also estimated the level of the other party¡¯s power. Kaleina was sure that although it was definitely a strong enough opponent to compete with her, it had not yet reached the ¡®absolute state¡¯. Tak ¨C Kaleyna¡¯s posture with both hands folded together showed off a more elegant and beautiful figure than anyone else. And as if to show that her ability was not limited to aesthetics, two spears crossed each other on Kaleyna¡¯s back. One is the spear of light created by Kaleina. The other is Ardvar, Luna¡¯s holy relic. The gap created by the intersection of these two windows. In that gap, a halo was formed that showed nobility. ¡°Let¡¯s see if we can block this too.¡± Kaleina still held her hands together and took a slanted posture with half her body forward. Kuuuung-! Starting with Kaleina¡¯s movement, the halo created by the two spears radiated greater light. Jijijijik- An energy sphere created by mixing various forces. This strange form created by the combination of vast amounts of mana, divine power, and demonic energy was, in a word, ¡®chaos¡¯. Bullfight! The energy sphere exploded quickly, and the shock wave quickly spread around the surrounding area. So-called ¡®chaos¡¯. Chaos swallowed up the sanctuary created by Dio at once. The space that Solari had briefly dominated was instantly turned around. * * * Imperial territory not far from the ecliptic. Confederate troops carrying the imperial flag had arrived there. Diririn~ ¡°This is the limit ah¡­¡± Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The person who spoke to everyone while playing the lute was Kalphael, one of the seven stars. The method Crassus came up with was to use Kalphael¡¯s ability to use the ¡®portkey¡¯ connected to Temberg. Although Kalfael could not move as large an army as Calliope, he was able to use the portal that had been connected to Temberk for a thousand years. In the past, when Dio and his party moved from Kalech Forest to Temberk. And this is the portal used when moving east from Temberg to meet Calliope. In this way, Temberg was a place connected to portals installed throughout the continent. Crassus, who remembered that one of these was near the ecliptic, immediately called Kalphael and moved his troops. ¡°okay. Good work. ¡°We¡¯ll take over from now on.¡± Crassus thanked Kalphael for his hard work and immediately looked at Schuwald. Schwald also nodded to Crassus¡¯ words and rearranged his ranks so that he could move right away. ¡°But things don¡¯t look good.¡± Kalphael spent a lot of energy on increasing the size of the portal as much as possible because a large number of people had to move there. He looked very tired, but pointed to the ecliptic sky, which seemed worse than the situation he was in. ¡°What¡­ is that?¡± ¡°Is it a lunar eclipse? no. ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s just a shadow created by darkness.¡± Schuwald calmly judged the situation. He was startled when he finally felt the powerful force reaching here. ¡°What about this? Can you feel Luna¡¯s power up to here? And¡­¡± ¡°I can feel the magic energy.¡± Crassus¡¯ expression became serious as he continued Schuwald¡¯s words. This was much more powerful than the demonic energy felt in the demonic realm. If affected by this, the corpses of demonic beasts and humans may become undead and be resurrected as more powerful enemies. ¡°Hurry. ¡°It¡¯s too much for them alone.¡± ¡°Where is Calliope?¡± There is an enemy lurking in the imperial capital that it seems impossible to easily defeat with just the troops that arrived here. Nevertheless, the seven stars did not have time to understand the opponent¡¯s strength in more detail. The best option for them is to join the front line as soon as possible. ¡°We need to call her. ASAP.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 201 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 201Episode 201: The Imperial Barrier that Kaleina used to launch the surprise attack was clearly lifted. However, ¡®Chaos¡¯ was cast by Kaleina. The wide-range magic she unleashed was too much to simply be dismissed as wide-area magic. A strange energy that is chaotically mixed without any order and makes it impossible to make sense of it. As a result, the large area where the Imperial Capital was located was once again immersed in darkness, as if a barrier had been placed. The color that comes from the mixing of various forces is ¡®darkness.¡¯ This was natural. Because when all colors are mixed, what gets closer in the end will be darkness. ¡°Look. ¡°This pitch-black darkness.¡± The surroundings were filled with darkness, but Kaleina shone. This was because the brilliant light emitted from the halo she created made her presence stand out even more. ¡°It is the power of the devil that was given to me in exchange for my body.¡± Damn it ¨C Kaleyna¡¯s body slowly began to rise and cracks began to appear in her space in its wake. It wasn¡¯t just that the power she exuded became stronger. Kaleyna¡¯s pure white skin gradually turned black. This seemed to show that Kaleina had achieved complete harmony with the Demon King. ¡°I clearly understand the extent of your power.¡± Kaleina looked down at Dio with a confident tone. The opponent is using incredibly powerful power by borrowing the power of Solari. Kaleyna realized that the body was weak compared to its power. This meant that Kaleina noticed that Dio¡¯s level had not reached maximum level. So I could be sure. If you want to overcome this ability, you can never block it with the power lent by Solari. ¡°You can never overcome this darkness.¡± Dio was trapped in the darkness created by Chaos. Kaleina spoke to Dio with the purpose of causing him despair. For some reason, Dio showed no reaction. No, there was no reaction. ¡®¡­Smile?¡¯ Dio¡¯s face was clearly not visible due to the darkness. But even in the darkness, Kaleina quickly realized that Dio was smiling. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Finally, Dio slowly opens his mouth. Dio immediately apologized to Kaleina and looked at her with shining eyes. ¡°I think I won the battle of numbers?¡± * * * The point when Dio headed to the square to rescue the emperor. Sephia rode Adi and began installing the items Dio had entrusted to him throughout the defense. She didn¡¯t know what effect these five lightning rods had. However, because he trusted D.O., he faithfully fulfilled his duties. Although it was just a simple installation, moving around to the location designated by Sepia Dio was quite an arduous task. Flap ¨C At Sepia¡¯s signal, Adi carefully landed on the half-collapsed roof. Sepia jumped off Adi¡¯s back and went inside the collapsed building to take out the item Dio had given her. ¡®This is the last time.¡¯ Sepia firmly planted the last remaining lightning rod in the ground and looked up at the sky. The sky visible above the collapsed ceiling. It was clearly a sky with a dazzling sun just moments ago. But for some reason, instead of dark clouds, black fog was slowly covering the sky. ¡®what?¡¯ Sephia felt that something was unusual and hurried out of the building. Her ominous intuition was not wrong. The sudden darkness obscured the sun shining on the ecliptic, and at the same time, the corpses around them began to stir. Kikigi Geek ¨C There were various corpses lying around. The corpses of the Luna Church and the demonic beasts. And the corpses of imperial troops and citizens. The corpses, wrapped in a mountain, seemed to show how intense the battle within the imperial capital was. But those corpses. Each one was slowly getting up, creaking. ¡°This!?¡± Sepia quickly began to grasp the situation. The rising of corpses means that undead is in progress. And we were able to see that this was happening not just in the place where Sepia was located, but throughout the entire ecliptic. ¡®Is it the influence of the sky? It¡¯s a big deal.¡¯ Sepia swallowed her saliva as she looked at the darkness covering the sky. The sun was not completely obscured yet, but at this rate, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before the entire ecliptic was immersed in darkness. ¡°Geugeuggeuk-¡± ¡°Kikigeek-¡± An undead army whose attached bodies melted away and were reborn in the form of skeletons. As soon as they woke up, they turned their heads towards Sepia. The unique undead noise of bones colliding began to be heard in layers. They immediately started flocking toward Sepia. Sepia immediately gathered divine power, but Adi, who was perched on top of the building, was faster. Fuhahahaha! As if Adi¡¯s dragon breath was protecting Sepia, it burned everything around it. The undead could not withstand Adi¡¯s breath and even traces of it seemed to disappear¡­ but before Adi¡¯s breath could even be extinguished, the undead rose again. The undead that rose again even showed a shocking appearance as if they had adapted to Adi¡¯s breath. ¡®This is dangerous!¡¯ sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Sepia became anxious because of the constant influx of undead. She had already annihilated all the enemies in her area and had just finished completing Dio¡¯s mission. So, I was planning to immediately go to support Dio, who was fighting the Holy Maiden of Luna with Adi. However, the situation where the enemy¡¯s troops were fully replenished once again caught Sepia¡¯s ankle. They were even different from ordinary undead. The undead who fell once due to Adi¡¯s breath and stood up again moved naturally even though their entire body was on fire. As if the flame was his from the beginning. ¡®What if the power of the sun doesn¡¯t work¡­¡¯ Sepia suddenly remembered a small group of enemies who couldn¡¯t work with the power of the sun. I had an ominous thought that perhaps the abilities of the undead that had just appeared might be the same as theirs. And as if adding to the ominousness of the sepia, the darkness covering the sky began to become even darker, as if it would completely block the sun. That moment. Flash! Behind Sepia, a dazzling pillar of light rose into the sky. This was not the magic of sepia. The item that Dio requested. Sephia, who noticed that a pillar of light would appear at the location where the object was installed, quickly looked at the surrounding sky. Paaa-! Pillars of light emerged sequentially from the location where Sepia had installed the object. This immediately cleared away the darkness, and the surroundings began to become brightly lit again, as if the sun had dominated the scene. Tap-tap- tap-tap-tap- Then, the undead surrounding Sepia all writhed in pain. The undead that were intact despite Adi¡¯s flames began to melt and disappear one by one. ¡®also¡­! Dio knew!¡¯ Sephia was finally able to realize the purpose of the objects she had installed. Dio predicted the current situation. The appearance of the undead. And the way to overcome this was the five pillars of light that are rising now. * * * ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Infinite Jewel] Grade: Myth Category: Tool Special Condition: Five Infinite Jewels must be collected to activate the effect. Effect: Absolute Judgment ¨C Nullifies the characteristics of all undead within the range. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The item that Dio requested from Sephia was an item that existed only to deal with the Demon King Rademos. To explain it more accurately, it is an item that allows the player to fight Rademos and win even if he or she does not reach max level. Rademos, the final chapter of Order, was impossible to clear unless the player reached max level. The reason was Rademos¡¯ ¡®Chaos¡¯ ability. This is not just about raising corpses and turning them into undead like a typical necromancer. The undead who were given new life by the power of Chaos possessed a passive skill called ¡®Adaptation¡¯, which was a very fraudulent ability. If someone defeats an adaptive undead, the undead will be revived with the attributes that caused it to die. So the more you kill it, the more difficult it is to deal with and the stronger it comes back to life. Of course, this ability is not the ability to become completely immortal. In the end, if you keep killing it, you can destroy it. However, in order to easily solve this problem, if the player does not have ¡®Adaptive Extinction¡¯, which is obtained by reaching level 500. Players will have to go through a lot of trouble dealing with the adaptive undead. If that happens, you will naturally have no choice but to submit to the power of the Demon King. However, if there is an infinite gem, the story is different. Infinite Jewel can nullify the characteristics of undead acquired through Chaos through absolute judgment. ¡®In the end, even if the powers are mixed, Chaos is only the devil¡¯s ability. I knew this would work.¡¯ Dio looked up at Kaleina, who looked embarrassed. Dio smiled even wider because it was a rare sight that was not easily seen by Kaleina, who always showed a confident and noble appearance. ¡°that¡¯s right. I wouldn¡¯t have been able to overcome it with my own abilities. But¡­¡± Dio responded to Kaleyna¡¯s words, who had assured him that he would never overcome this darkness. Dio knew why Kaleina was confident and confident. This is because Kaleina noticed that it was not at a level that could deal with Chaos. But she didn¡¯t know. Even if Dio is low on level, he has numerous items that can solve problems. ¡°It¡¯s not my item.¡± Woe! Five huge pillars of light came together and immediately swallowed up the chaos that Kaleina had unleashed. Once again, the dazzling sun made its presence known in the ecliptic sky. ¡°Is it possible that the reason you lured me here was to show me this? Are you going to deal with my undead colleagues first?¡± Dio mocked Kaleyna, roughly predicting the picture she had planned. Adaptive undead are quite difficult to deal with, even if they are Dio¡¯s companions. Even if you manage it somehow, stamina consumption is unavoidable. It was clear that Kaleina would think that she could easily defeat the forces of Solari. ¡°¡­I admit it.¡± Kaleyna was taken aback for a moment, but she soon regained her calm expression and slowly opened her mouth. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat you with Luna¡¯s power alone.¡± Contrary to what she told Rademos, Kaleina acknowledged that Solari¡¯s great warrior was superior to her. But that was before combining with the Demon King. Although Chaos¡¯s abilities were neutralized, Kaleina still believed that she had the upper hand in power. ¡°But I am different now. ¡°No matter what you do, the sun¡¯s downfall will inevitably come.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know that when you see it.¡± Kaleina slowly raised her right arm and the two spears slowly began to move in accordance with her hand gestures. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 202 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 202Episode 202 Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. Immediately after the darkness that seemed to swallow the ecliptic in an instant disappeared due to five pillars of light. A new army has entered the burning ecliptic. The main force of the empire gathered in the south. They had arrived. ¡°You¡¯re finally here. But what is that light? ¡°It¡¯s my first time seeing divine power¡­¡± muttered Schuwald, who had no way of knowing the power contained in the ¡®Infinite Gem¡¯, which was neither Solari nor Luna¡¯s. ¡°I can¡¯t afford to worry about that right now. ¡°We must quickly recapture the imperial capital.¡± ¡°No, wait a minute.¡± Calliope, who was next to Crassus¡¯ urgent words, stopped him. Currently, Calliope had been contacted by Schuwald and had joined the imperial army. Therefore, it was possible to move the imperial army near the imperial capital to the front of the imperial capital in a short period of time. ¡°Can you feel it? Over there in the center¡­¡± Kugugugugugung! A tremendous vibration interrupted Calliope¡¯s words. As a result, people noticed what Calliope had discovered. ¡°oh my god. ¡°Is this really the power that one person can produce?¡± Although they had just entered the imperial capital, the imperial capital was very wide. Although the distance to the center must have been considerable, Schuwald was astonished by the force he felt. The power of Luna and the Demon King that I remembered deep in my bones. And the power that countered this was the power of Solari. Quagwagwagwang! A huge explosion accompanied by an earthquake. All seven stars hesitated due to the wave caused by this. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we help quickly?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just the center where the battle is taking place. ¡°We may need to divide our forces.¡± ¡°But it will be late while dealing with the surrounding enemies.¡± Although they succeeded in entering the ecliptic at best, they hesitated because they did not know where to start and how to do it. Even though there was a great commander named Dalimus, the representative of the seven stars and the imperial army, it was natural for them to hesitate. This is because the enemy that invaded the empire now is so powerful that they cannot dare to oppose it. If you make a wrong move, you might be attacked by the numerous undead legions that are already occupying the imperial capital. As soon as they entered the imperial capital, they immediately entered into battle with a large number of undead legions. Since we could not even predict what dangers would lurk as we headed towards the center, we had no choice but to act cautiously. ¡°There¡¯s something coming!¡± At someone¡¯s shout, all seven stars looked at the sky. Shughak-! A strong wind blew towards the imperial army due to the flapping of a pair of huge wings. ¡°De Dragon?¡± ¡°Was it true that the dragon appeared?¡± The entity that caught everyone¡¯s attention upon its appearance was none other than the dragon Adi. Most of the imperial soldiers who volunteered to the Imperial Capital were all surprised by the presence of dragons. This was because they were waiting in the south for war, so this was the first time they actually saw the existence of the dragon that Dio had brought. ¡°Everyone stay in your seats. ¡°It¡¯s on our side.¡± Since most of the soldiers were wary of the dragon¡¯s presence, Schuwald asked Dalimus to calm them down. Although it had been a thousand years since Schwald had encountered a living dragon, he was convinced that the dragon in front of him was on the Solari side. The reason was because I felt the energy of a being jumping off the dragon¡¯s back from afar. Calliope also nodded because she had seen Adi and Sepia just before. ¡°Schwalt!¡± Sephia got off Adi¡¯s back and ran towards Schuwald. ¡°okay. ¡°It¡¯s been a while.¡± Schuwald couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw Sepia growing up so well, even though it was an urgent situation. I wanted to ask about the well-being of Roberto, my student, and Eveline, Calliope¡¯s student next to me, but I couldn¡¯t. Even as this was going on, the fight taking place in the center of the ecliptic was becoming more and more intense. Kugwagwagwang! ¡°I just arrived so I don¡¯t know what the situation is like inside. ¡°What is Dio¡¯s situation now?¡± sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Right now, Dio is facing the Holy Maiden of Luna alone. But¡­I think they are taking their time on purpose.¡± ¡°who? Luna¡¯s saint? Or Dio?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Dio.¡± In response to Schuwald¡¯s question, Sephia spoke confidently. And he immediately began conveying his thoughts to the four seven stars around him. ¡°What we need to do now is not join Dio¡¯s fight.¡± ¡°Why? ¡°Are you saying that taking time isn¡¯t waiting for support?¡± ¡°yes. Dio is waiting for us to take care of all the undead in the imperial capital.¡± ¡°Undead?¡± Crassus gave a questioning look at Sepia¡¯s words. Although we entered the Ecliptic and faced numerous undead, they did not feel that threatening. It was Crassus who they thought was just a small fry, and the other seven stars thought the same. That¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t understand Sepia¡¯s words. Is it really the right thing to do to deal with the remnants rather than the most threatening enemy right now? ¡°Is this Dio¡¯s idea?¡± ¡°no. Dio didn¡¯t tell me directly, but¡­I can tell.¡± Sephia, like Dio, did not hear Solari¡¯s revelation directly. However, Sephia spent more time with Dio than anyone else in the group. So, Sepia was able to find out what Dio wanted through the ¡®All-Purpose Jewel¡¯ that Dio had given her in anticipation of the appearance of the undead. ¡°The undead that originally appeared in the ecliptic had mysterious abilities. But Dio entrusted me with something to neutralize it.¡± Sepia pointed to five pillars of light rising toward the ecliptic sky. ¡°The more Luna¡¯s army kills the people of the empire, the weaker Dio¡¯s power will be. Conversely, the more enemies are defeated, the weaker the saint¡¯s power will be.¡± ¡°Right. ¡°I understand now.¡± Schuwald nodded as if he understood Sepia¡¯s explanation. I don¡¯t know if Sepia¡¯s guess was the same as Dio¡¯s, but I could at least know that the path Sepia suggested was not wrong. Even if you just measure the power you feel now, getting involved in Dio¡¯s fight would be a hindrance. The gap between the power of Saint Luna and the power of the seven stars was enormous. ¡°Let¡¯s all divide into separate areas. I don¡¯t have time. ¡°How can we help the Great Warrior¡­¡± Schuwald looked into Sepia¡¯s eyes while giving instructions to everyone. If someone other than Sepia had said it, Schuwald would have hesitated. However, Sepia, who inherited the power of the Saint of Solari from a thousand years ago, believes in Dio and suggests a way. Schuwald ended his speech by nodding his head, remembering the saint from long ago. ¡°Because this is it.¡± * * * Boom! With a huge explosion, someone¡¯s new model broke through the rubble of the building and was buried on the ground. Wow ¨C the identity of that buried person is none other than Luna¡¯s saintess, Kaleina. But only for a moment. Kaleina was floating on the porous ground, completely intact and devoid of vital energy. Sigh ¨C Kaleina grinned as she saw a crack in the protective shield surrounding her. And the person who pushed him like this. I opened my mouth as I looked at the great warrior of the sun. ¡°Your strength¡­you¡¯re overdoing it.¡± ¡°Whew-¡± Hearing Kaleina¡¯s words, Dio put his hands on his knees and took a deep breath. It was Kaleina who was being attacked just a moment ago, but for some reason, the battle unfolded as if Dio was being pushed back. ¡®Is it really a level issue? I tried my best, but I couldn¡¯t even break through the shield.¡¯ Dio was shaken by the sight of Kaleina, who seemed flawless compared to any enemies he had seen so far. When you activate the active skill of the Power of Faith, you will gain 10 times the passive ability given. And since it lasted in proportion to the number of Solari believers, it lasted about 15 minutes. During this short period of time, D.O. was on top of his game. But in the end, it was too much. From the beginning, Dio knew that it was impossible. ¡®As expected, it¡¯s not an enemy that can be dealt with just because its stats are high.¡¯ There was no way Dio would be able to defeat Kaleina alone in a situation where even if everyone worked together to raid, it wouldn¡¯t be enough. Moreover, isn¡¯t Kaleina, who we¡¯re dealing with now, a transcendent being who can completely control the power of the Demon King? Hook ¨C As soon as Kaleina raised her right arm, a huge wind blew. Due to the unusual wind, Dio quickly raised his head, took out his shield, and hid behind it. Kagagak-! ¡°damn.¡± The shield quickly became useless. Dio held his sword tightly again. It was a shame that I reacted so quickly, but Kaleina¡¯s attack was so threatening that my entire head almost flew off. ¡®It¡¯s dangerous to confront them in their current state.¡¯ For about 15 minutes when Dio activated the power of faith, Dio clearly had the upper hand. But Kaleina saw right through it. This means that the great power that can be gained through the power of faith does not last long. So Kaleina made up her mind and defended against Dio¡¯s attack. As a result, the situation reversed immediately after the skill¡¯s duration ended. Quagwagwang! Kaleina¡¯s attack was fierce. Every time she swung her arm, the magic fired felt like the power of Luna and the power of the Demon King alternately. And in between, the attacks, which were the chaos of the two forces combined, were also mixed together. Quang! Dio rolled on the floor awkwardly as the gray flames hit the floor. And Kaleina sneered at Dio¡¯s appearance like that. ¡°Daejeon Temple is in such a bad state. I tried to deal with all of your colleagues at once, but¡­¡± As Kaleina clapped her hands, something began to tear open space above her head. Chijijijijik ¨C Sparks flew in the empty air, like what happens when high heat is applied to metal. And a triangle was drawn as if the space had been cut out with scissors. [Triangle Absolute]. This attack, in which each line forming the triangle had a different color, gave off an unusual aura. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely kill you first.¡± Kaleina¡¯s will to destroy her opponent without fail. As if these were not empty words, powerful mana began to gather in the center of the triangle created by Kaleina. * * * Triangle Absolute. Her exclusive skill that only Kaleina can use. However, the Triangle Absolute that Kaleina is using now does not contain only Luna¡¯s power. A storm of mana that has become more powerful with the added power of the Demon King. Pajijijijik ¨C A strange phenomenon was created where it seemed as if all the surrounding energy was converging on Kaleina¡¯s hand. Seeing that, Dio slowly lowered his sword. It is not an attack that can be prevented by blocking. It is not an attack that can be avoided just because it can be avoided. But for some reason, Dio¡¯s expression was something new that he had never shown to Kaleina before. It¡¯s just relief. The reason Dio was relieved to put down his weapon was not because he sensed defeat.

You can use [Eye of the Transcendent]. You can use [Absolute Power]. The reason why Dio stood still even while Kaleina was preparing the final attack. This was because his colleagues completed the quest on Dio¡¯s behalf. Kaleina¡¯s expression quickly hardened as if she had noticed Dio¡¯s changed mood. She had no idea why Dio suddenly became stronger. ¡°Did you say the search war is over? I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Dio slowly opened his mouth to the frozen Kaleyna. ¡°I guess I¡¯ll have to start over again.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 203 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 203Episode 203: An eye appeared in the center of a triangle created by tearing out space. Those huge eyes stared at Dio. Kaleina wasted no more time and waved her hand. A triangle absolute shoots along her hand. Deeng ¨C The vibrations in the atmosphere resounded like a bell ringing. Soon, a deadly attack that would destroy the opponent struck Dio. Quang! In an instant, darkness came around as if all light had disappeared. But even for a moment. A brilliant light that darkness could never overcome emanated from Dio¡¯s whole body, who had clearly been hit by Kaleina¡¯s attack. [Change equipment ¨C Mananan¡¯s Helmet] [Change equipment ¨C Mananan¡¯s Armor] [Change equipment ¨C Mananan¡¯s Gloves] [Change equipment ¨C Mananan¡¯s Boots] . . . After a long journey, Dio reached the peak. And the equipment suitable for that peak was already in his inventory. There was armor and all kinds of accessories, but this was the most valuable set item. Mananan mac lir set. It can be seen as an item that has risen to the top of the order board and can be obtained from Mananan, the Fairy King hidden in the deep abyss of the sea. It was a final item that would take half a year to acquire each piece of equipment. Jijijijijik ¨C Hwaak ¨C Kaleina¡¯s attack caused a phenomenon that seemed to distort space, but the strange phenomenon quickly returned to its original state. And when Dio reappeared through the thick darkness, he was no longer wearing the platinum Yongrin set. A chain made of gold. And the exoskeleton plate added on top looked much sleeker than the heavy full-body plate armor. Poof ¨C Dio threw his cloak, which had become tattered from Kaleina¡¯s attack just now, on the floor. This cloak is not simply for decoration, but is a top-class protective gear that can nullify an opponent¡¯s attack. However, even that hard protective gear was completely destroyed in one attack from Kaleina. ¡®doesn¡¯t care. Because now I can use all the items.¡¯ Dio thought as he looked at Kaleina floating in the air. Legendary weapons that can only be used when you reach max level. Most items that can be considered fraudulent items on the order board are blocked by level restrictions. However, this is not a problem for Dio, who has now reached the highest level. Kaleina couldn¡¯t move even after seeing Dio standing still. This was because the strength of the tilted force was instantly balanced. At that time, a huge wind blew that disrupted the confrontation between the two absolutes. Whoosh- flutter- ¡°Dio!¡± Sephia, who appeared from the sky with the dragon Adi, shouted at Dio. Starting with that, blue pillars rose up around the ecliptic square where only Dio and Kaleina existed. Dio realized long ago that the troops appearing from this teleport were friendly forces. In the first place, the quest was broken because all the monsters in the imperial capital were annihilated. In that case, it was clear that the personnel currently remaining in the imperial capital were allies who achieved victory in the battle on Dio¡¯s behalf. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Get in line!¡± ¡°The target is Luna¡¯s saint. ¡°You will definitely pay for the high treason of raiding the imperial capital!¡± The army rushed to the square with teleportation. It was the moment when the imperial army and the seven stars, who had been struggling throughout the imperial capital, gathered together in the square. Dio looked at each of the protagonists who did an excellent job of defending the Imperial Capital. Duke Dalimus, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army. Sword Master Gunther, who commands the imperial capital¡¯s elite knights. Agram, the mercenary king who leads the guild. The seven stars command the elves who were betrayed by the moon and the various demons who were cursed by the moon and ended up living the life of exiles. ¡°I don¡¯t know if we came in time.¡± Calliope appeared behind Dio using teleportation and opened her mouth towards him. ¡°It was appropriate. ¡°It must be thanks to Calliope for resolving the barrier.¡± ¡°Aldur took care of that.¡± ¡°Are you going to Aldur? ¡°Hoo.¡± At Calliope¡¯s words, Dio nodded as if he had a general idea of what was going on. If Dio had the personality of Aldur he knew, there would be no way he would be on Kaleina¡¯s side even in this situation. ¡°It¡¯s a shame that that idiot risked his life to destroy the barrier.¡± Am I not good at expressing myself? Dio could tell that Calliope felt grateful for Aldur¡¯s actions even though she thought they were foolish. Anyway, with this, even the last five swords left by the Holy Maiden of Luna have now come to stand on Solari¡¯s side. There was no one by Kaleyna¡¯s side. It¡¯s definitely a better situation. Nevertheless, everyone gathered here felt an unknown ominous feeling about the last remaining great enemy. ¡°Is there any chance of winning?¡± ¡°well.¡± In response to Kaleina¡¯s question, Dio looked at the saintess of Luna, who was looking at everyone with a noble look. In terms of troops, Solari¡¯s forces clearly have the upper hand. However, Dio thought that the fight against her would not be easy unless he knew what moves Kaleina had hidden. ¡°What are you planning to do with all these idiots? ¡°You¡¯re foolish, Daejeonsa.¡± Kaleina opened her mouth, looking directly at Dio. She was completely oblivious to the numerous forces and pointed her fisted hand forward. Ardvar moves in accordance with Kaleina¡¯s hand gestures. Ardvar, who was emitting the energy of the moon, quickly fell to the ground. thud! Blah blah blah ¨C A crack starting from the tip of Ardvar¡¯s spear. For some reason, the ground eroded by the crack began to emit evil magical energy instead of the energy of the moon. ¡®The relic is infected?¡¯ Dio felt an eerie feeling at Kaleina¡¯s actions. A holy relic that possesses powerful divine power in itself. Dio couldn¡¯t even guess what kind of ability the Demon King¡¯s power would show combined with this. ¡°Everyone be careful!¡± Dio decided that it was impossible to stop Kaleina¡¯s actions and hurriedly warned the surroundings of the danger. As soon as Dio shouted, a change occurred in Ardvar. Kkulung-quad deuk! Disgusting tentacles coming out of Ardvar. Those tentacles were like those attached to the Luna Church¡¯s soldiers and demon beasts. Kwagwagwagwagwa! The tentacles that went deep into the ground through Ardvar quickly grew huge and their numbers began to increase rapidly and began to surge through the floor. ¡°What¡¯s this!¡± ¡°Watch the floor! Everyone scatter!¡± ¡°Aaaah!¡± Huge tentacles rose up in the middle of the densely packed imperial army and began to disintegrate the camp at once. Just as the legendary monster Kraken snatches the sailors on the ship. Numerous tentacles summoned by Kaleina began randomly attacking the Solari soldiers. ¡°I will take charge of Luna¡¯s sainthood. ¡°Take care of the tentacles!¡± Dio left his words to Calliope and shouted to the sky. ¡°sepia!¡± Shuhak-! At Dio¡¯s call, Adi, carrying Sephia, began to glide quickly. Even in Adi¡¯s path, tentacles rose up without fail. Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A huge tentacle blocked Adi like a long pillar, but it was instantly burned by Adi¡¯s breath and shrunk. Rumbling ¨C Adi, who was walking through the burning tentacles, had passed by the spot where Dio was. In response, Dio quickly climbed onto Adi¡¯s back where Sephia was positioned. ¡°These tentacles are also protected by divine power!¡± ¡°okay. ¡°We have to deal with Kaleyna somehow.¡± In a fierce battlefield where tentacles face off against the great army of Solari. Dio and Sephia rode Adi and glided across the sky again. Kwagwagwagwa! Kugugugugu ¨C While flying to avoid the rising tentacle pillar, Dio was able to find Kaleina, who had recovered Ardvar again. She also slowly raised her hand, fixing her eyes only on Dio, as if she had not paid any attention to the others from the beginning. ¡°damage!¡± Quang! A beam of light emanates from Kaleyna¡¯s hand. The concentrated beam of light passed by Adi¡¯s wings as he turned. ¡°Don¡¯t get any closer! ¡°Support me from out of range!¡± ¡°all right!¡± Dio immediately kicked Adi in the back, and Sepia immediately chanted a spell at Dio. [The Symbol of Hope effect increases maximum health by 100%.] [The Symbol of Hope effect increases maximum magic power by 100%.] [The Symbol of Hope effect adds 50% to all attribute bonuses.] Already given to colleagues . Dio received various buff effects. And finally, Dio, who received the symbol of hope, the highest level buff, from Sepia, threw the sword he was holding at Kaleina without delay. Throw in! Damn it! The sword Dio threw hit the center of Kaleina¡¯s protective shield. Unlike the first time, this pierced through the protective shield at once. ¡°Where!¡± Paang-! Kaleina waved her hand as if it was ridiculous, and Ardvar responded. Ardvar easily deflected Dio¡¯s sword, whose power was weakened by the shield. However, while Kaleina was defending herself, Dio approached her. Dio did not make any effort to retrieve the sword he had thrown away. This was because there were mythical items that could be used piled up in the inventory. ¡°A window is a window!¡± Liquid Liquid ¨C The red spear ¡®Ge Darrug¡¯ held by Dio. Dio swung his spear and struck down Ardvar, who was guarding Kaleina. Kuung ¨C As the two spears, which are considered to be the most powerful weapons in mythology, collided, the surrounding air rang. Kagagaga River! Dio continued his fierce offensive towards Ardvar, not Kaleina, with the intention of dealing with Ardvar first, who was in the way. Ardvar also began to counter Dio¡¯s attacks. Perhaps thanks to this, Kaleina aimed the spear made of light at Dio¡¯s head without any hesitation. Liquid ¨C Kaan! ¡®Ridiculous melee abilities!¡¯ Dio dodged the spear and licked his tongue. Common sense dictates that a close combat between Dio, a warrior class, and Kaleina, a priest class, would be normal if Dio had the advantage. However, the power of Ardvar and Kaleina, which was further upgraded by receiving the power of the Demon King, led to a difficult fight even for Dio, who was good at melee. Quagwang! phut! In a fierce battle without giving up an inch, it was Kaleina who pushed ahead with a new attack. Coo! The ground trembled loudly due to Kaleina¡¯s magic. As a result, Ardvar took advantage of Dio¡¯s disturbed posture and penetrated Dio¡¯s thigh. ¡°Tsk!¡± With Dio¡¯s planting sound, tentacles began flowing out from behind Ardvar again. The tentacles that grew in an instant attacked Dio. As a result, Dio was trying to fix his right foot first, which was caught by the opponent. Paang! Before Dio¡¯s actions, an arrow that saved him cut off Ardvar¡¯s tentacle. The arrow did not just cut off the tentacle, but was instantly shot towards Kaleina. Liquid-! Puhak! An arrow that is blocked and destroyed by Kaleina¡¯s hand gesture. However, as soon as the arrow disappeared, bright red liquid began to spray out. ¡°blood?¡± Kaleyna¡¯s frown frowned at that sight, and Dio also looked surprised. When the arrow pierced the tentacle, Dio thought that Crassus or Elaine had helped him. However, that arrow was not one used by elves. A bloody arrow made with blood magic. ¡®Is it Roberto? No, I haven¡¯t seen Roberto use this skill.¡¯ Dio belatedly realized that the arrow in front of him was the ¡®Blood Arrow¡¯, which stands at the pinnacle of blood magic. ¡®The only person who can use blood magic to this degree is a vampire lord¡­¡¯ At that moment, a being entered Dio¡¯s field of vision. ¡°Okay¡­it¡¯s finally the last time.¡± The seven stars that Dio first encountered. Ludens, leader of the Golden Dawn and vampire lord. He too had appeared to join in the final fight. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 204 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 204Episode 204: Ludens, an old gentleman who looks livelier than anyone else here, even though he is as old as Schuwald. ¡°You¡¯ve become incredibly strong.¡± Ludens grinned and began examining Dio¡¯s wounds. Ardvar, which pierced Dio¡¯s thigh, was quickly recovered by Kaleina. As a result, a large hole appeared in Dio¡¯s thigh, and the blood flowing from it formed a puddle. Just- Ludens snapped his fingers, and the blood coming out of Dio suddenly reversed, and in an instant, the punctured thigh began to return to its original state. ¡®Blood Recycle¡¯ is a blood magic that is superior to most healing magic. ¡°Long time no see.¡± Instead of greeting Dio, Ludens looked at Kaleina and muttered. ¡°Even though you have become stronger, your opponent is also fearsome. ¡°It¡¯s something we can¡¯t even handle.¡± ¡°Ludence!¡± The other seven stars also noticed Ludens¡¯ appearance. The seven stars dodged the tentacles summoned by Kaleina and quickly gathered around Dio to confront Kaleina. ¡°I looked for it but couldn¡¯t find it. ¡°How did you find out?¡± ¡°I left a note with magic. ¡°I thought you would join us.¡± It was Schuwald who answered Calliope¡¯s question. Ludens nodded at Schuwald and then looked at Kaleyna again. ¡°Now is this the final chapter? ¡°I wonder how many of us will survive here.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so lucky!¡± Seven stars that never came together properly even in Walpurgis Night. It was a rare sight to see them all together, but now was not the time to just leisurely chat. Kaleina simply spread her palms as if she was annoyed, and Ardvar started running wild once again, matching her movements. ¡°come!¡± At Crassus¡¯ warning, the seven stars moved simultaneously and they poured out all their attacks towards Ardvar, which was emitting powerful electric currents. It¡¯s a joke! Crumbling! sun and moon. And darkness. When all the attributes existing in the world collided together, only one attribute began to run wild. It¡¯s the wind. When the great forces collided, a huge storm was created that shook the battlefield, and Kaleina crossed her arms and shouted. ¡°How dare the henchmen of the sun!¡± Kwagwagwagwagwa- In the artificially created storm, even larger tentacles appeared and began to sweep around. Quaa ¨C It was the right decision for Kaleina, who was outnumbered, to use a range attack. But because of that, Kaleina missed out. This is the image of the Great Warrior of the Sun that she has always been watching. Paaat ¨C A brief moment when the seven stars caught our attention. Dio escaped Ardvar¡¯s eyes and snuggled into Kaleyna¡¯s arms. Whoops! Red Spear ¡®Ge Darrug¡¯. The red afterimage emanating from the window penetrated the protective shield that Kaleina had spread. ¡°Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!¡± Kaleyna¡¯s suddenly unfolded protective shield could not last long and soon began to break down. Clink! Let¡¯s go! Kwagwagwagwagwang! A violent explosion that begins with heavy drinking. Even though the attack was clearly successful, Dio quickly left the scene and turned his gaze to the sky. ¡°Heo-eok, heo-eok.¡± Kaleina looks uninjured, but is breathing heavily. She was clearly getting tired from the ongoing battle. It certainly seemed like if the battle continued like this, it would end in Solari¡¯s victory¡­ but Kaleina¡¯s eyes scanning the surroundings were by no means those of a loser. * * * [What kind of thing is this, Her Highness, a handsome saint?] ¡®Shut up.¡¯ [You also admitted it, right? If you don¡¯t use that power, you won¡¯t be able to win¡­what are you waiting for?] Rademos¡¯ voice whispering to Kaleyna. Luna¡¯s saint and the demon king seemed to have completely fused with each other, but in reality, they were not. It¡¯s just that the power of the moon and darkness were balanced and a new power was born. But now the balance has been lost. Kaleina became exhausted from the great battle of the sun and the all-out offensive of the seven stars. As a result, the power of the moon to balance the devil was decreasing. These words were like saying that the power of the Demon King that permeated Kaleina¡¯s body had become greater than the power of the moon. However, Kaleina could not easily unleash that power. If you take out the power of the Demon King accumulated here. That darkness will swallow you up all at once. But¡­ ¡®It¡¯s not good.¡¯ Kaleina was planning to defeat the great warrior of Solari in her current state, if possible. As long as the Great Warrior dies, the Sun¡¯s minions pose no threat to Kaleina. But I couldn¡¯t. The seven stars that resisted Luna until the end a thousand years ago. Their interruptions were more annoying than Kaleyna expected. ¡°¡­at last.¡± Did even the strong saintess of Luna fall for the devil¡¯s whispers? no. There were still some Kaleina left. However, it was Kaleyna¡¯s last conscience that did not bring up that number. Conscience toward the God he has served his entire life. But now there is no way. Kaleina raised her head as if she had made up her mind. If it is a moon you know. If the moon was consumed by jealousy and brought about the downfall of the sun. You will certainly understand what you will do from now on. * * * Kaleina, who was exhausted, closed her eyes and clasped her hands together. And a ring of angels appeared above her. The appearance was undoubtedly that of a saint who was known as the representative of God. Are you going to pray to Luna now? The seven stars, who found Kaleina¡¯s behavior strange, made up their minds to attack again, but Dio was not. [The Eye of the Transcendent has been activated.] [Warning.] [Hostile target absorbs the power of God.] [Warning.] [The power of Luna, the Moon God, affects the surroundings.] [With the power of the Absolute. The player can resist this effect.] ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°Is it possible for a human to produce such divine power?¡± ¡°How on earth!?¡± The seven stars trembled at the power they felt from Kaleyna. I don¡¯t know exactly, but I felt it instinctively. This means that the divine power that Kaleina possesses has now reached the realm of ¡®God¡¯, which humans cannot dare to touch. However, unlike them, Dioman only let out empty complaints. ¡°Haha, I¡¯m going to spin.¡± The Eye of the Transcendant that Dio obtained as a max level perk. This was the ability to see things that were not normally seen. So, unlike the other seven stars, Dio was able to clearly see what Kaleina was doing. ¡°I think I noticed. ¡°It¡¯s too late now.¡± Kaleina opened her closed eyes and looked at Dio, who was embarrassed. ¡°Luna a thousand years ago failed. And now¡­ that failure will be achieved anew through me.¡± Brilliant moonlight emanated from the angelic ring created by Kaleina . This power is without a doubt Luna¡¯s power. Kaleina¡¯s power was said to be comparable to that of a god, but becoming a god itself was a completely different story. As the system tells us, the current Kaleina is the descended Luna itself. ¡°I can¡¯t believe it. ¡°How can you blaspheme God to this extent?¡± Schuwald, who belatedly noticed Kaleyna¡¯s condition, also spoke as if it were absurd. Now, Kaleina wasn¡¯t giving Luna her strength on her own. Kaleina, who joined hands with the Demon King, forcibly captured Luna¡¯s power in an angel ring and created it with her own power. ¡°The incompetent God must disappear. ¡°I am the one who will create a new world on behalf of such an incompetent god.¡± Damn it! Kaleina prayed and spread her hands, holding the angel¡¯s rings on both sides. ¡°I hereby represent God in human flesh.¡± An arrogant statement about rising to the position of god. However, no one present could move easily. The power that Kaleina was trying to emit was so powerful that it went beyond danger and was awe-inspiring. Pachang! When Kaleina pulled both hands holding the ring, the angel¡¯s ring was instantly split in two. He broke the angelic ring that symbolizes God. It is truly an act of blasphemy against God. Slurp ¨C slurp ¨C White liquid flowed from the half-split angel ring and wetted the face of the person who desired the power of God. ¡°Everyone get out of your seats!¡± Dio shouted at the seven stars who froze at Kaleyna¡¯s shocking actions. The fight that begins now is with God. If God himself came forward, ordinary people would not be able to withstand the pressure. This is a fact that can be seen even though it was Dio¡¯s first time experiencing it. Because the system gave a warning. The only one who can stand against Kaleina now is Dio, who possesses the power of the Absolute. Kwagwagwagwagwang! With Dio¡¯s warning, Kaleina¡¯s power, covered in God¡¯s products, exploded. ¡°From now on I will pass judgment. Me¡­Kalayna Luna herself.¡± Kaleyna¡¯s skin, which had been dyed black after combining with the Demon King, turned pure white again. Kaleina looked at Dio with empty eyes that contained nothing and stretched out her hand. * * * Boom! Boom! Transmitted light! Is this light? Or is it something omnipotent? The pure white stems that came out from Kaleina¡¯s fingertips continued towards Dio. Quagwagwagwang! Jijijijik ¨C Dio took out a shield from his inventory and blocked Kaleina¡¯s attack, but was pushed back considerably by the impact. ¡®This is Luna¡¯s true power!¡¯ Dio threw away his shield, which was no longer usable in one attack, and slowly caught his breath. Kaleina¡¯s unmistakable power. It was also time for Dio to exert all his strength to reach max level. Currently, Dio has the buffs of Sephia and the rest of the party applied, but he is losing out to Kaleina, who uses Luna¡¯s full power. There is only one way to overcome this. The power of faith. However, Dio had already used the power of faith once in the beginning to kill time. The cooldown time for the Power of Faith skill is a whopping 24 hours. Perhaps it could be said that it was complacent to use the power of faith, which could be considered a secret skill, so early on. Dio was already thinking about what happened next. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡®Rewind¡¯ allows you to reset any skill cooldown just once. This skill was a perk that players who reached level 500 could automatically acquire. Dio activated Rewind and used the power of faith again just for now. [Skill Rewind has been activated.] [Power of Faith has been selected for Rewind.] [Power of Faith cooltime is reset.] [Power of Faith has been used.] [All powers of the caster are increased by 1650%. ] Currently, Solari has about 15 million followers. As a result, Dio¡¯s overall abilities, which are increased by the power of faith, became 16.5 times stronger. However, the power of this faith lasts for about 20 minutes. We have to compete within it. Sreung ¨C Dio took out another weapon from his inventory while holding the red spear in his hand. A sword that radiates brilliant golden light. This is a mythical weapon called ¡®Crab Bider¡¯, which is a set with ¡®Crab Darrug¡¯. There are not just two mythical weapons that Dio will use. Dio took a look at all the various items still in his inventory and aimed his weapon at Kaleina who was facing him. Excited. A tense situation where victory is clearly not certain. Nevertheless, despite his anxiety and worries, D.O. developed a sense of victory mixed with anticipation. Dio, who enjoyed playing the order board, once had an interesting idea. If you have these items in your warehouse. The idea that even if I face God, I will never be pushed away. That thought made Dio, who had accumulated items, even more satisfied. That¡¯s because Dio¡¯s warehouse was filled with fraudulent items with ridiculous effects. ¡°I wonder if my items are strong or if the gods are strong.¡± Dio smiled and said to Kaleyna. ¡°Let¡¯s stick together somewhere.¡± Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 205 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 205Episode 205: The ecliptic sky where the final battle between the sun and the moon takes place. The sky, covered in darkness, was looking down at the two beings that replaced the sun and the moon, as if mocking them. Rumble ¨C The shock that occurs when two forces that can never coexist collide affects everything around them. It didn¡¯t just affect what was visible. The atmosphere or gravity that makes up the world. This was also affected, creating a situation where the laws of physics were violated. The collapsed earth rises to the ground, or a huge explosion gathers in one place instead of spreading out. The center of the ecliptic seemed to be a completely different space from reality. ¡°Everyone step back! ¡°We are in the way!¡± Dalimus, who was commanding the knights, gave orders to prevent his troops from getting caught up in the fight between Dio and Kaleina. All they could do now was watch from afar. But the seven stars were different. ¡°Give me your power!¡± Ludens shouted at the vampires. Then the gathered vampires transferred their power to Ludens through blood magic. The characteristics of a vampire that become stronger through blood transfusion. Ludens chose to gain temporary power to fight against Kaleina, who had now become Luna herself. The other seven stars who watched this also received power from the group they led. Witch, werewolf, elf and dark elf. The seven stars, who received their respective abilities and the power of the sun, immediately prepared their minds. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to die for no reason?¡± ¡°If the Great Warrior loses, he will die anyway.¡± Ludens spoke firmly in response to Kaleina¡¯s words. ¡°Ludence is right. ¡°Even if we can¡¯t kill God, we can give Dio his power.¡± ¡°I guess Adelia thinks differently.¡± Calliope pointed forward with her finger as the seven stars spoke. There, unlike the other seven stars, there was a death knight who recklessly jumped into the battlefield without any special measures. Two hit! As Kaleina used Luna¡¯s power, numerous tentacles stopped for a moment. The tentacles began moving towards Adelia, as if telling her not to interfere with the fight between Dio and Kaleina. The tentacles affected by Luna¡¯s power became stronger and larger than before, which even the Seven Stars could not easily ignore. Quang! However, Adelia was a paladin known as the most powerful among the seven stars a thousand years ago. Suddenly! Among the other seven stars, she was the only one to cut off the tentacle containing Luna¡¯s power even though she did not receive the power. ¡°Let¡¯s join in too.¡± At Schuwald¡¯s signal, Crassus pulled Visaya¡¯s string, which was returned to Elain. Liquid Liquid ¨C An arrow splitting the atmosphere pierced numerous tentacles and changed direction in an instant. The target targeted by Crassus is Kaleina, which Dio is fighting against. Pajijik ¨C However, Kaleyna extinguished Crassus¡¯ arrow with a single gesture and immediately chanted a spell. Flash! The darkness covering the sky split and a huge sword appeared. Gooooo- A huge sword soaked in moonlight slashed towards the floor, and the seven stars that were trying to approach Kaleina hurriedly ran away. Quang! A powerful shock wave generated by a huge sword slammed into the ground. As a result, Kaleina left the ground quiet again and began to focus on Dio in front of her. * * * Kagagagagang! Dio responded to Kaleina¡¯s attack using various mythic-grade weapons. On the other hand, Kaleina no longer borrowed the power of the relic. Kaleina is able to use Luna¡¯s natural power. She was able to generate power greater than that of Ardvar simply by emitting energy. Kwasik! The red spear ¡®Ge Darrug¡¯ was unable to withstand Kaleina¡¯s strength and broke. In response, Dio shook off his aching hand and stepped back for a moment. This was clearly the time for Kaleyna to continue her attack, but Kaleina did not do so. It was correct to say that I couldn¡¯t do it. This was because he could not completely ignore the seven stars around him that were trying to somehow approach Kaleina. ¡°Those bugs don¡¯t even know the subject¡­¡± When Kaleyna clapped her hands, the cluster of lights that gathered around her created numerous swords. And when Kaleina stretched out her hand once again, the shining swords were aimed not at Dio, but at the seven stars. Quagwagwagwang! Let¡¯s go! A sword of light that moves and attacks on its own like Ardvar. The seven stars that were blocked by this began to fight for life and death once again. Dio hurriedly put his hand into his inventory to get Kaleina¡¯s attention. Huung ¨C A double-edged ax with an extremely short handle. It was the ¡®half-gobu¡¯ said to be used by the legendary giant, and it penetrated halfway through the protective shield created by Kaleina. ¡°Do you have time to look around?¡± ¡°I apologize. ¡°It must have been rude of you.¡± In response to Dio¡¯s question, Kaleina bent her fingers and grasped the air strongly. Burrrrr- Kwakwagwak! In response to Kaleina¡¯s strength, the half-gold began to tremble, and soon the solid-looking half-gold shattered in an instant. ¡®Wow, you break that thing with force.¡¯ Dio stuck his tongue out at Kaleina¡¯s incredible strength. In addition to Bangobu, Dio has already used all kinds of mythical items to attack Kaleina. Mjolnir Squite Farash, etc¡­. The valuable weapons, whose names themselves prove that they are mythical items, were destroyed without being able to reach Kaleyna. It doesn¡¯t matter though. ¡®There are still many items.¡¯ Chang ¨C Dio once took out an item that he had shown to people when he defeated the eldest son of Duke Bertio who had been demonized. Page Jijijik ¨C A bluish-silver sword taken out from the inventory. At that sight, Kaleina¡¯s pupils, which had turned white, shook. It was a contrast to Kaleina¡¯s appearance, which showed no particular reaction even after seeing numerous mythical weapons. The reason was obvious. Because it was the dazzling sword that Dio had just taken out, Luna¡¯s sacred item, ¡®Miracle¡¯. Kaang! The Miracle wielded by Dio collided with the intangible power used by Kaleina. If it were the old Dio, he couldn¡¯t even lift Miracle properly. This is because the condition for using Miracle was limited to a faith value of 100,000. But the current Dio was different. Even if the conditions were not met, Dio, who possesses the power of the Absolute, which is a maximum level privilege, was able to ignore the conditions for use of all items. ¡°What?¡± Is it because it is a holy sword that contains Luna¡¯s power? Miracle withstood Kaleina¡¯s power much better than Dio¡¯s other mythic weapons. However, Miracle does not have the only advantage against Kaleina. As Miracle withstood the opponent¡¯s attacks well, it was difficult to inflict fatal wounds on the opponent. It can be seen as a characteristic of the same attribute, which is a game element. Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! Dio was clearly aware that he would not be able to inflict a fatal blow. Nevertheless, Dio continued his attack without hesitation. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What Dio is aiming for now is to create an opening for the embarrassed Kaleina. Ting-! As Dio intended, Kaleina, who was very annoyed by Miracle¡¯s existence, used the power of the moon to grab Dio¡¯s wrist. Miracle is without a doubt Luna¡¯s holy relic. As long as Dio removed the hand holding Miracle, Kaleina would definitely take ownership of Miracle. A loophole appeared in Kaleina, who was caught up in such thoughts. He may have let his guard down because he has been keeping the seven stars in check using his tentacles. But what appeared behind Kaleyna now were not the seven stars. Sreung ¨C It looks similar to a Death Knight, but has nothing inside. Three of Evelyn¡¯s shadow armor swung towards the sword at Kaleyna¡¯s back. Sigh! Accordingly, Kaleina allowed the attack for the first time. The target of the attack was neither Daejeonsa nor the Seven Stars. The existence of a witch that we were not at all wary of. ¡°This¡­¡± Even though Kaleina felt humiliated, she withdrew the power of Luna, who was focusing her attention on Dio. Thanks to this, the Shadow Armor¡¯s swords only touched Kaleina¡¯s back and did not cut her deeply. ¡°These bugs!¡± Faaah! The energy emanating from Kaleina¡¯s hand instantly destroyed the Shadow Armor. However, among the missing Shadow Armors, there was one that showed particularly noticeable movement. He is Roberto wearing shadow armor. He was also able to approach her like this because he was someone that Kaleina didn¡¯t care about at all. ¡°K-hab!¡± Roberto stretched out his arm towards Kaleyna¡¯s face. First, Kaleina¡¯s body, which allowed Shadow Armor to attack, was already covered with a protective shield. Nevertheless, Roberto punched with all his might. Quang! Clink! Roberto¡¯s fist shattered Kaleyna¡¯s shield with a powerful explosion, and his fist cut her cheek. ¡°It went well.¡± Blood boom. A technique that allows you to maximize your attack power by exploding your own blood. In return, Roberto¡¯s arm was completely torn off. However, Roberto smiled with satisfaction at the fact that he had hurt Kaleyna. ¡°kill!¡± With Kaleina¡¯s furious shout, Luna¡¯s energy began to fluctuate once again. Quaaaaaaaaa! Roberto, pushed by the power of Luna unleashed by Kaleina, fell straight down. In response, Kaleina grabbed the air and tried to suffocate Roberto, who was flying away. However, Solari¡¯s great warrior always interferes. ¡°Are you going to keep looking away from earlier?¡± Dio approached Kaleina at lightning speed. What was in his hand was no longer Miracle. ¡®Mistiltein¡¯, a legendary weapon that is said to be able to kill a god. Mystiltein, whose blade was much longer than most longswords, was aimed at Kaleyna¡¯s neck. * * * weird. The more Kaleina fought against Dio, the more doubts arose. I thought I had completely lost my strength, but it recovered in an instant. It does not end with simply recovery. Kaleina is clearly the one who confirmed on the first battlefield that Dio never reached the highest level. However, in that short period of time, D.O. grew. How on earth? ¡°Tsk!¡± Kaleina groaned as she was unable to block Dio¡¯s Mystiltein. Kaleyna¡¯s neck was cut deeply. Kaleina quickly escaped from Dio and raised her divine power. Healing a wound like this was nothing to Kaleina. ¡°¡­.¡± No, it definitely shouldn¡¯t be anything, but recovery doesn¡¯t happen quickly. Is this the power of a weapon carried by the opponent? Or is it because he has used up a lot of his stamina? Kaleina felt the blood continue to flow from her hands around her neck. ¡°Oh, no.¡± His opponent was Kaleina, whom he thought was the only great warrior of the sun. But I was too arrogant. A gap was created due to Taeyang¡¯s henchmen, who were thought to be insects. Kaleina raised her head and looked at Dio rushing towards her. Lots of weapons around him. Spears, swords, arrows, all kinds of weapons are visible. However, each of those weapons was comparable to Luna¡¯s holy relic, or even better. So I couldn¡¯t understand it even more. How can the great warrior of Solari have such treasures? Quagwagwang! By the time the first attack was allowed, Kaleina had already had a hunch. Although you are exhausted, the other party¡¯s attacks become more intense. No matter how much I break and shatter those fancy weapons. The great warrior of Solari took out a new weapon as if it were something big. ¡®This can¡¯t be like this¡­!¡¯ Kaleina tried to undo Luna¡¯s mistakes from a thousand years ago. She looked at Dio, who, unlike her, had not lost his momentum at all. The more Kaleyna looked at him, the more her heart filled with bitterness. The only one who understands her feelings. [Hand over yourself to me.] Rademos¡¯ whispers began to echo in Kaleyna¡¯s head. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 206 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 206Episode 206 : Quang! Dio¡¯s final attack on Kaleina, who has lost her will to fight. A huge explosion and a swarm of light engulfed Kaleina, and Dio threw away the mythical weapons that could no longer be used and quickly retreated. Kwagwagwagwa- Perhaps because the impact was strong, a thick cloud of dust obscured our eyes, but the seven stars around us immediately noticed the change in the battlefield and opened their mouths. ¡°The sword¡­disappeared.¡± ¡°Is this really the end?¡± A shining sword that was swung as if to kill the seven stars. Those shining swords were no longer visible. ¡°You did it.¡± ¡°great job.¡± The ending seems somewhat empty. Nevertheless, the seven stars relaxed. Luna¡¯s enormous power made me feel numb just a moment ago. Since they felt nothing now, it was natural for them to think that the long fight was over. But they were wrong. ¡°Don¡¯t relax.¡± Dio opened his inventory, took out various potions, found Robert, whose arm had fallen off, and fed it to him. ¡°Huh¡­Dio? How did the fight go?¡± Roberto, who came to his senses thanks to the potion, asked Dio, but Dio did not answer his question and hurriedly gave instructions. ¡°Caliope! ¡°Please share this with everyone.¡± ¡°This?¡± Calliope came running to Dio¡¯s call. Various potions she received from Dio. Among them, I blinked at the elixir decorated in a colorful bottle. The reason Calliope was surprised was not because Dio had the highest quality potion. Kaleina uses Luna¡¯s full power. Calliope was surprised because it was said that Dio had enough time to spare this much potion during the battle with her. ¡°We need to save our strength. If I¡¯m right¡­¡± Before Dio could finish his words, Calliope waved her hand and numerous potions were distributed to the party members spread out here and there. After seeing that, Dio looked at the place where Luna¡¯s saintess was still covered in dust. ¡®Items are in short supply¡­ I lost more weapons than I thought.¡¯ Dio quickly opened his inventory and checked the list. The valuable items that Dio had collected from the warehouse while working on the order board had disappeared. To put it into perspective, mythic grade items have durability that can be used for a lifetime. However, even such a mythic weapon was short-lived by Kaleina¡¯s power. ¡®But I was able to save the potion.¡¯ Dio thought he could save potions in return for losing the mythic weapon. In other words, it was not a completely wasteful fight. Dio gulped down a potion and glanced at his colleagues who were reorganizing. There was clearly a high probability that Kaleina had completely collapsed from the attack just now. Even Dio felt that the power of the moon had completely disappeared. Nevertheless, this is why D.O does not let down his guard. Dio looked at the sky. ¡®Luna has taken care of it. But not yet¡­.¡¯ Kugugugugugung! The sky of the ecliptic swirls with darkness. There is only one meaning that the Demon King¡¯s power ¡®Chaos¡¯ is still maintained. ¡®Rademos is alive.¡¯ What if Rademos, like Kaleina, uses a new power that Dio has never experienced before? It¡¯s not easy to get through with the remaining items. So Dio couldn¡¯t relax. Being on guard against an unknown enemy that he does not know about will be a very disadvantageous fight for the current Dio. * * * [Ah ¡­ Kalina¡¯s body that appeared through a deep dust. However, it was no longer the Holy Maiden of Luna who was ruling inside. [Finally¡­] There was no longer any life in Kaleyna¡¯s eyes. Like a lich that transcends death. Only the red eye glow replaced the physical eyes. [I almost messed it up.] Rademos, who had completely taken over Kaleina¡¯s body, faced Dio with a wicked smile. ¡°Rademos.¡± [okay. This is how we face each other.] Rademos repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fist, as if he was still not used to Kaleyna¡¯s body. ¡°I don¡¯t think you lent all your power to Kaleyna?¡± [Hehehe. Why me?] Rademos continued speaking with an evil smile on Dio¡¯s words. [I didn¡¯t forget. The moment the moon betrayed a thousand years ago.] Rademos was the first to extend his hand to Kaleyna, but he had no intention of completely helping her from the beginning. So even when Kaleina started to be pushed back by Dio, he didn¡¯t help even though he had enough strength. This is the devil¡¯s revenge on the moon from a thousand years ago. [Revenge has been achieved. Now all that¡¯s left for me is¡­the fall of the sun.] Suddenly, a pair of horns sprouted from Kaleyna¡¯s head. Rademos was confident that this moment was the most suitable stage for him. The moon collapsed. The sun has exhausted its power to block the moon. The strength mentioned here does not mean physical factors. Rademos was secretly surprised by Kaleyna¡¯s power. The potential desire that Kaleina possesses and the arrogance that tramples on Luna and rises on her own. If Kaleina had defeated the Sun, Rademos¡¯ plan to take revenge on the Moon would have been completely in vain. That¡¯s why Rademos said that he almost made a mistake. [The reason you were able to defeat Luna was thanks to the power of Solari.] Rademos said, pointing out one of Dio¡¯s abilities that he used against Kaleina. It is none other than the power of faith. Rademos assured that without that power, Dio would have been defeated by Kaleina. [Now it looks like Solari¡¯s strength to protect you has run out.] S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Rademos, full of energy, continued speaking. It seemed like he had recovered his stamina through a potion, but that fact was no problem to Rademos. The power that Rademos must be most wary of is the power of ¡®the power of faith.¡¯ This means that it is not about the physical strength of each opponent. Now that the power of faith¡¯s duration has expired, Dio is a ridiculous opponent for Rademos. Even the Great Warrior of the Sun cannot compare to the power he has gathered, and the same goes for his servants, the seven stars. [The moon and sun end today. Now, the owner of the continent is this body.] Flapping ¨C A pair of wings spread out from Rademos¡¯ shoulder blades, like horns sprouting from the head. [Rademos will rule.] Strike! With the warning of the resurrected Demon King, terrible magical energy was released around the area. At this, the seven stars became nervous. I thought I was done with defeating Luna¡¯s saint, but what about the demon lord? ¡°This is not good.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just as he said. The current Dio¡­.¡± ¡°Is this the end?¡­¡± The seven stars were unable to move quickly due to the momentum emitted by Rademos. What Rademos said was correct. The enormous power shown when fighting Kaleina was not felt by Dio now. ¡°If we can hold out until Solari¡¯s power is restored¡­¡± ¡°Can we hold out until then?¡± Calliope shook her head at Schuwald¡¯s muttering. Although she did not know the reuse time for the power of faith, she noticed that the time was not short at all. Otherwise, Dio would have asked to buy time a long time ago. Still, Calliope opened her mouth to Dio behind her just in case. ¡°Hey, Daejeonsa. Is there any way? ¡°How long can we hold out¡­ Dio?¡± Calliope, who was asking for a solution in a serious tone, sensed something strange about Dio and called his name. It was clear that the current situation was not very good for Solari¡¯s great warrior. But for some reason. Only the greatest warrior who would replace the Solari was unaware of this situation. ¡°Puhup-¡± Dio burst out laughing. As a result, not only the seven stars but also Rademos, who was emitting a sinister force, could not help but be embarrassed. [What¡¯s so funny?] ¡°Oh, sorry. That¡¯s enough. ¡°Can you all step back for a moment?¡± In response to Rademos¡¯ question, Dio had tears in his eyes and gestured to his other colleagues. Dio¡¯s actions don¡¯t seem to have any kind of guts. Dio barely suppressed laughter, but he still approached Rademos with a smile still on his face. ¡°Wow, this feels new.¡± [?] Dio¡¯s words still seem like he hasn¡¯t grasped the situation. His expression was full of longing, as if he was reminiscing about something long ago. ¡°Was the time I caught the first demon lord when I created the third character?¡± Dio suddenly counted with his fingers and muttered. ¡°no. It started with the fourth character. ¡°That was my first max level character.¡± [What are you talking about?] ¡°And the max level characters have never failed to catch the Demon King¡­¡± [What on earth are you talking about!] Quang! Rademos¡¯ anger spread around him at Dio¡¯s attitude of not caring about the other person at all. As a result, the seven stars couldn¡¯t control themselves and took a step back, but Dio was not the only one. Seeing that arrogant appearance, Rademos spread his hands as if he could not stand it any longer. Explosive magical energy spread out from his palm. The magic was shot straight at Dio, causing a huge explosion. Quagwagwagwang! ¡°D.I.O!¡± Everyone shouted, worried about Dio. But that worry did not last long. Wow ¨C black light surrounding Dio. This was not the skill Dio used. However, it was not the power of the sun. Surprisingly, the energy that protected Dio was the same magical energy as the Demon King. Dio, who had not suffered the slightest injury from Rademos¡¯ attack, continued what he had said earlier. ¡°I¡¯ve tried killing you seven times.¡± [What?] ¡°Do you know what this is?¡± A scroll torn from Dio¡¯s hand. It was none other than a top-class magic scroll capable of deploying a dark attribute shield like magic. ¡°This scroll is a must-have item when raiding the Demon Lord.¡± Dio shook off his hand as if it was no big deal and slowly walked forward. ¡°You should not have taken Kaleyna¡¯s body.¡± There was only one reason for Dio to be worried. I think the Rademos reborn in Kaleina¡¯s body is the Rademos he knew. However, I felt relieved when I saw the sprouted horns and wings. Although he only resembled Kaleina in appearance, the current Rademos was the same as the Demon King that Dio remembered. ¡°The reason I find Kaleina difficult is because it uses multiple attributes at the same time.¡± [What!?] Dio, paying no heed to Rademos¡¯s embarrassed appearance, slowly opened his inventory. ¡°I became weak? I¡¯m sorry. ¡°I am much stronger now than other max level characters.¡± Dio keeps telling stories that not only Rademos but others can understand. Seeing Dio like that, the seven stars realized. The great warrior of the sun does not exist in this world. He was a being from another dimension who came to save the world after receiving a call from Solari . [Bullshit!] Rademos said it couldn¡¯t be like that and fired out his magic energy once again. However, Dio leisurely unfolded the items he had taken out of his inventory. An eternally burning fire, a super-divine beast in the sky, an amulet of eternity, a chain that oppresses the darkness. All of these were items that would not have worked at all if the opponent was Kaleina. However, if the opponent is Rademos, the story is completely different. Dio was a man who had killed the demon king Rademos seven times. Because there was more than a truckload of items in his inventory that were effective against Rademos. Kwagwagwagwagwang! All of the items used by Dio had attributes that were opposite to Rademos¡¯s power or were identical to it, canceling out his attacks. When that happened, Rademos withdrew his attack and felt that something was wrong. ¡°Hold on!¡± At Dio¡¯s shout, the seven stars, who were just as confused as Rademos, quickly moved. They also forgot about it for a while. That the power of the sun is an extraordinary power that can erode darkness. Quagwagwagwang! The power of the seven stars shooting out from all directions hit Rademos without stopping. Dio runs in front of Rademos, who is unable to come to his senses. What Dio holds in his hand is a huge greatsword. Dio thought of Rademos and saved one mythic grade weapon. That is this great sword. This weapon was the item Dio used when he defeated the Demon King as his seventh max level character. Among the items on the order board, it was the weapon with the highest attack power bonus against demonic energy. A hero¡¯s sword with the option of never being able to block or evade with magic. Pragarach. Dio struck Fragarach from top to bottom and spoke words that declared Rademos¡¯ end. ¡°bye.¡± The sky was covered with chaos. The fact that the sky was split in half was darkness¡­no, it was a signal that the final chapter had come to an end. Survive as an SSS-level warehouse characte Chapter 207 Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 207Episode 207 ¡°Mom, look over there.¡± The imperial child who had been hiding from Luna¡¯s invasion ran outside and shouted. The child¡¯s mother hurriedly stopped the child and caught him. But she soon had no choice but to look up at the sky with the child she was holding. ¡°That¡­¡± The sky of the ecliptic looked as if the world was coming to an end. The sky, which was covered in chaos, was split in half and light was leaking through the gap. ¡°The sun¡­shines on us.¡± The child raised his hand as if trying to catch the sunlight shining on his palm. As a result, the hidden imperial citizens walked out of the collapsed rubble one by one. They felt it too. What does this sunlight mean to those who are now left with only despair and have waited for the end? This ray of sunlight that came to them was more than enough to give them relief than any hymn of hope. ¡°The warrior did it¡­the sun protected us.¡± Tears welled up in the eyes of the parents who hugged their child. Those tears never contained sadness. hope. Those tears were the fruit of the hope I held on to without giving up. * * * -Survivors in Area 6 have been secured. -Multiple survivors confirmed inside the collapsed building in Area 11. Requesting engineer support. -The bodies of the demonic beasts blocking the passage to the south gate have disappeared. When Rademos¡¯ chaos was lifted, communications between the imperial forces spread across the ecliptic continued. They, too, were able to see the sun that had once again appeared in the ecliptic sky. That the war was won. Now that Kaleina and Rademos have disappeared, the soldiers of the Masuna Luna Church that remain in the ecliptic no longer exist. ¡°They say the army of demonic beasts heading towards the imperial capital has changed direction. ¡°It probably means that the Demon King has truly fallen.¡± Ludens, who somehow knew the situation outside, spoke to everyone. Through this invasion, demonic beasts were driven by the power of the Demon King and went on a rampage throughout the continent. They too realized that the Demon King¡¯s power had disappeared and retreated. This phenomenon was something that Dio was also familiar with. A cutscene shown to the player when the Demon King dies. The magical beasts in the scene that Dio remembered also all ran away to a place where the light could not reach. They accepted that the darkness had completely fallen and acknowledged their defeat. ¡®Phew-¡® In the atmosphere announcing the end of the war, Dio also let out a long breath. His sigh did not contain the joy of winning the war like others. Just relief that I survived. Dio, who had overcome the end of an unfamiliar world, could not help but feel more relaxed than anyone else standing here. dump. ¡°D.I.O!¡± Sepia urgently called out to Dio, who was sitting down with his legs giving out. The other seven stars were also worried about Dio and approached him. ¡°I wonder if the hero who saved the world is like this.¡± Schuwald spoke on behalf of everyone, extending his hand to Dio, who was sitting down. Dio was able to feel various emotions from those who were paying attention to him. A co-worker with a worried expression on his face, wondering if he was hurt. The seven stars looked up proudly, as if they knew they could do it. As if nothing had happened, Dio¡¯s warm gaze brought him back to his senses and he held Schuwald¡¯s hand. Faaaat ¨C Dio got up and tried to tell everyone that he had worked hard, but he couldn¡¯t. The light that covered the ecliptic. This was because a beam of light more powerful than ever before surrounded Dio under the sun, the source of that light. ¡°This light¡­.¡± Glittering powder mixed with the beam of light. Dio immediately realized what this intermittently flashing light meant. It¡¯s a bunch of lights that I saw at the flower garden. However, the light coming down from the sky now was not just a bunch of light. Woe! The gathering light grew bigger and turned into the shape of a woman, who spread a pair of wings with her back to the sun. The pure white angel wings gave another light to everyone on earth. In this light, I felt a sublimity that was different from any light I had ever experienced. ¡°Ahh, Solaris.¡± ¡°I salute the goddess.¡± Solari, who stood against darkness for the world a thousand years ago. At her coming, all seven stars knelt down and worshiped. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It¡¯s not just the seven stars. Many people were paying attention to Dio, who defeated chaos. They also bowed their heads as they realized that the being that had just come down from the sky was ¡®God¡¯. People could tell. The reason why Solari descended in person like this. This would mean that the Great Warrior¡¯s victory went beyond the empire and saved the world. He is a warrior who saved the world from the darkness and the moon, and it was only natural that God would appear before his eyes. In the silence where no one even made a sound as God descended, only Dio opened his mouth in a voice without any tension. ¡°It looks in good condition.¡± [Savior of another dimension¡­ Kim Jun-woo or Dio.] Everyone present was surprised to hear Solari¡¯s voice directed at Dio. I wasn¡¯t surprised by God¡¯s ecstatic tone. This was because the great warrior of Solari, who had been called Dio until now, was called by a different name that had never been heard before. ¡°If you can appear on the ground like this¡­ I guess your strength has completely returned now?¡± [It¡¯s all thanks to you. People gained hope by looking at you.] Solari smiled and nodded at Dio¡¯s words. [Their prayers reached me. Your role is now over. It will now be up to me and those who remain to create a better world.] Dio had a hunch at Solari¡¯s words. It means that you have reached the end of your journey. ¡°okay. ¡°My job is now done.¡± Solari¡¯s words that the role of the great warrior is over. From there, Dio could easily predict what Solari could do for him. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a white portal unfolding behind Solari¡¯s back. It was the same portal I saw when I entered Solari¡¯s garden in Temberg. However, Dio knew that beyond that portal was not heading to Solari¡¯s garden. A dimensional gap. I got sick of it on the order board. But perhaps the device that Dio missed the most in this world. As if to prove this, a system window appeared in front of Dio. Tiring! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª [Main scenario completed.] Content: The story of the world over a thousand years has come to an end. In return, you will receive the promised happiness. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª While Dio was looking at the system, Solari stood in front of him and opened her mouth as if guiding him into a portal. [With the recovered power of the sun, you were able to create a passage connecting the world you lived in.] Dio¡¯s world appears as a dimensional gap. There are no monsters either. A world where there is no devil who will destroy the world or a god who will threaten your life. Dio¡¯s emotions began to overflow as he faced his hometown beyond the dimension. However, an urgent cry was heard towards Dio. ¡°Now wait a minute! ¡°This is the world I originally lived in!?¡± Except for Dio, no one could dare step forward in front of the descending god, but it was not Sephia. I thought everything was coming to an end. Now there is no longer any need to be pursued by Luna, nor is there any need to fight the darkness on behalf of the Solari. Sepia thought there wouldn¡¯t be anything more to worry about. But that wasn¡¯t it. The anxiety that came from the conversation between Dio and Solari. The sun was trying to send back the great warrior who had fulfilled his duty. Sepia, who spent the most time with Dio, had a vague idea. Dio sometimes mumbles words that no one can understand. That he is a mysterious person who may have come from another world than this one. ¡°Where are you going and leaving us behind?¡± ¡°The path you are taking is the path we must all take together.¡± Evelyn and Roberto also stepped forward in response to Sepia¡¯s anxious cries. They tried to get behind Dio, who was facing the portal, but they couldn¡¯t. No matter how much I moved my feet to get closer to him, the distance didn¡¯t get any closer. This was due to the power of Solari that arose between Dio and the others. [My children. It is a place called ¡®unknown¡¯ that no one can access.] Solari, who stopped the group trying to capture Dio, comforted them in a warm tone. [Only one of us can approach the unknown.] Solari continued speaking softly, pointing to Dio. At this, Dio slowly turned around and looked at his colleagues who were looking at him one by one. The emotions that Dio felt as he entered the dimensional gap after defeating the last enemy were not just overwhelming. regret. At first, it was just a struggle to survive, but the relationships I made here were not all bad. Calliope Schuwald Crassus Ludens Kalphael Adelia. Not all of their personalities are as gentle and cooperative as Schuwald. Even Schuwald was consumed by the full moon and Dio¡¯s life was threatened. However, they all helped Dio in their own way. Of course, the Seven Stars felt that they were helping Solari rather than just Dio¡­ Nevertheless, Dio never denied that he received a lot of help from the Seven Stars. Because I wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat Kaleina alone without them. ¡°¡­.¡± Relationships that are even better than those seven stars. Three people who can perhaps be called true colleagues. The witch, who was full of foolishness, went beyond her own limits. If it weren¡¯t for the Shadow Witch, going to meet the Seven Stars or evading the Luna Church¡¯s pursuit wouldn¡¯t have gone so smoothly. The vampire, who was stubborn and silent, also trained constantly so as not to hinder his companions. Roberto¡¯s sensing ability was of great help to Dio. If Roberto had not been there, we would not have been able to implement the crisis response as expected so easily. And finally sepia. ¡°¡­.¡± Dio noticed that Sepia¡¯s eyes were shaking as she looked at him. It is the most special and amazing relationship. Dio almost lost his humanity in this unfamiliar world. A world where you can only live by dying. In order to survive, Dio had to follow the laws of an unfamiliar world. Even if it means becoming a monster that can kill humans without hesitation. The reason why the modern man named ¡®Kim Jun-woo¡¯ did not disappear in D.O.¡¯s mind was because of sepia. Dio¡¯s conscience may be hypocrisy. Dio¡¯s conscience wasn¡¯t just about saving Sepia. He, too, was saved. [Kim Jun-woo or D.O. Why do you think you were called here?] Solari¡¯s voice was heard penetrating Dio¡¯s deepening thoughts. Did they come here simply to help a forgotten god and protect the world? Dio suddenly remembered what she had said to him at Solari¡¯s garden. Solari¡¯s words are that she wishes for your happiness, not to fulfill the great warrior¡¯s destiny. The promised happiness written as a system reward. This might not refer to the option of returning to the original world. Although it would also be happy to return to Kim Jun-woo and return to a normal life. Conversely, you can remain in this world, continue Dio¡¯s life, and enjoy a happy life. It is clear that Dio has achieved achievements that no one else has achieved in the world of Order. So Dio did not hesitate any longer. Dio wordlessly walked up to Sephia and ruffled her hair. ¡°¡­D.I.O.¡± Are you trying to say your final goodbye? An anxious Sepia quietly called out Dio¡¯s name and then looked hesitant. I didn¡¯t even know his real name. Preventing him from returning home might have been a very selfish act. Dio, who was reading Sepia¡¯s expression, smiled. ¡°okay. ¡°My name is Dio.¡± A bright smile appeared on Sephia¡¯s lips as she sensed the intention behind Dio¡¯s words. It was right to say goodbye, but it wasn¡¯t to Sepia. What you mean is that you will choose D.O. over Kim Jun-woo. It was a farewell message to the original world. [D.I.O. I respect your choice. I just hope.] Solari smiled at Dio¡¯s choice. Then it slowly began to rise high into the sky. [May the promised happiness come to you.] Paaaaat ¨C With Solari rising high into the sky, the dimensional gap also began to shine dazzlingly. The dimensional gap that no longer had any reason to exist was disappearing. Dio looked at the fading gap in the dimension and pledged again. This is the promise I made to survive when I first entered the world of order. This is no longer an unfamiliar world. I will still regret not being able to return to the original world, but this place is still the same as reality. A place where people meet, relationships are formed, and happiness and memories are created. Junwoo Kim. No, Dio chose. I decided to accept an unfamiliar world and do my best in this new world.
