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 –

Kugung –

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. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

‘mercenary. 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.
