Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 85

Episode 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.’

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!

—————

[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.

—————

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.
