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.

—————

[Party member]

[Sepia / ??? / Lv183]

[Eveline / Shadow Witch / Lv196]

[Roberto / Vampire / Lv203]

—————

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. Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.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.
