Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 53

Episode 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.

—————

1. Achieve mastery level 100 – [Completed]

2. [Width] Use 1000 times 913/1000

3. Acquire essence of flame

4. [???]

—————

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.

“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.”
