Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 89

Episode 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 –

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 –

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.

“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.
