Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 158

Episode 158:

Blood flowed from Elaine’s mouth.

I bit my lip to shake off the dream.

“dare! “What kind of face do you have to appear before my eyes?”

As Elaine’s anger soared through the sky, Dio thought for a moment that she had overcome the dream.

In fact, Elaine’s anger made her free even in a dream state for a moment, and the power she gave off was directed at Crassus.

However, Crassus is a being called a pentagram like Deathrugger.

Elaine, who couldn’t possibly be sane, didn’t even make the slightest move.

“I’ll explain everything when I wake up.”

“Yes, you…”

Crassus’s palm covered Elaine’s face.

Elaine tried to say something more, but she kept swallowing her words as if her voice couldn’t come out.

As her anger subsides, the dreamscape begins to come again.

Elaine’s eyes slowly closed and she fell into a deep sleep. Crassus caught her as she fell forward and carefully laid her on the ground.

Elaine’s expression, which was filled with anger just a moment ago, looks infinitely more comfortable.

Am I having a good dream?

Or did he run away into a dream to escape reality?

* * *

“Did you finish your work well?”

Dio opened his mouth to Crassus, who was watching Elain sleeping.

“Like you said, it was easily accessible.”

“What is the World Tree?”

In response to Dio’s question, Crassus took out an arrow covered in soot and showed it to him.

It was none other than Nidhog, which Dio gave to Crassus.

It was clearly the remains of Nidhogg, a legendary disposable weapon.

“It was a success.”

The only time Crassus uses Nidhogg is to destroy the World Tree.

As a result, Dio learned that Crassus had successfully destroyed the World Tree as he had instructed.

‘Okay, if this happens, the saintess will have lost a lot of her strength, right? The brainwashed World Tree would have been continuously losing its power to Luna.’

Dio sighed because things went as well as he expected.

I ran non-stop to a really far place.

Of course, in order to reach this conclusion, the help of the seven stars was enormous.

Dio before the Allied forces marched in the east.

I recalled the time when I had a meeting with the Seven Stars.

Walpurgis Night.

* * *

Temberg, the retreat of the seven stars.

Walpurgis Night, which originally started here, takes place at regular intervals.

But this time it was not an official Walpurgis Night.

This Walpurgis Night was held at the request of Solari’s great warrior Dio, so most of the seven stars were absent,

but it didn’t matter.

Because, except for Calliope, the only seven stars Dio needed was Crassus.

Accordingly, Dio asked Calliope to meet with Crassus so they could talk, and Calliope contacted Crassus right away.

Three beings gathered like that.

Dio, the Great Warrior of the Sun.

Calliope, the Witch of Balance.

Dark Elf Crassus.

As soon as everyone gathered, Dio got to the point.

“We will form a large allied force in the east.”

Dio briefly conveyed the news that the allied forces to subdue Acrich hiding in the Eastern Demon Region would now depart immediately.

Calliope, who already knew this, smiled seductively at Dio and opened her mouth.

“Has the sun given a revelation? “I wasn’t told anything.”

“Isn’t there a role for each person?”

Dio was taken aback by Calliope’s meaningful words.

“What you say is probably what the sun is saying. okay. “How can we help?”

The request to Calliope was simple.

The task is to seize Deathcruger’s Life Vessel while the Allied Forces’ main force is concentrating Deathcruger’s attention.

“Then what do I do? “Is there something I need to take care of by going to the East?”

Crassus, who had not paid much attention to what was happening in the East, frowned.

The requests that Dio has mentioned so far are things that Calliope can do on her own.

In response, Dio waved his finger at Crassus.

“Master Crassus will move separately from us.”

Dio smiled at Crassus, who had an inexplicable expression on his face.

Crassus has only one concern now.

world tree.

For Crassus, who had a mission to destroy it, it was not that important whether the Demon King was resurrected in the East or not.

No, I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s not important, but it means that nothing is more important to Crassus than the work of the World Tree.

“Do you know where the World Tree sapling is?”

“!!”

Crassus’s eyes opened wide at Dio’s words.

Crassus had been struggling to find the sapling of the World Tree for a long time.

However, no matter how hard Crassus tried, he could not find any trace of the seed left by the World Tree.

Accordingly, Crassus focused on gathering information by secretly going in and out of the Elven Forest where the World Tree was originally located.

However, even with this method, he still could not find any trace of the World Tree, and while he was blaming himself for his helplessness, he received a call from Calliope and came here.

“Do you know where the World Tree is?”

“Sure. Solari mentioned it recently.”

In response to Crassus’ urgent question, Dio lied without blinking.

Because Dio knew the location of the World Tree sapling from the beginning.

After the World Tree was destroyed, the elves decided that it was impossible to protect it with their own strength.

So the place that requested help was none other than the Luna Church.

The Luna Church worked with the elves to hide the World Tree sapling in a forest located in the southwest.

It is in a place called ‘Forest of Maze’ by players.

Dio unfolded the continental map he had prepared in advance and pointed out the exact location of the World Tree sapling.

“I can’t believe it. “I never thought you would immediately find traces that had not been found for hundreds of years.”

Crassus’s words made Dio feel a prick inside, but he did not show it.

Didn’t he have a good excuse: Solari’s Revelation?

“As soon as the expedition departs, Crassus, please destroy the World Tree. “You have Nidhogg in good condition, right?”

“of course.”

As soon as this mission involved the World Tree, Crassus’s mood changed in an instant.

There is no need to explain in detail how to destroy the World Tree.

Dio assured that if he knew the location, he would be able to succeed with Crassus’ abilities.

Dio had more than once prevented the invasion of Crassus from the Forest of Labyrinth.

‘Crasus is not called the Pentagram for nothing.’

Of course, the elves and the Luna Church guarding the maze forest will be heavily guarded, but the situation is different this time.

The player who always stood on the side of the World Tree stood on Crassus’ side this time.

Dio did not need to worry about how Crassus would invade the Forest of Labyrinth and destroy the World Tree.

“And take this.”

Dio opened his inventory and handed over one item.

—————

[Totem of Solidarity]

Grade: Unique

Classification: Tool

Level limit: 300

Effect: When used, you can quickly move near the target specified on the mark.

Number of uses: 1

—————

Dio explained the use of the item to Crassus, who was handed a small coin that looked rusty.

“If you use this, you will be able to meet me quickly.”

The person assigned to the Totem of Solidarity mark was Dio.

It is a useful item that, if Crassus uses it, will allow him to finish the job and join the team quickly.

“What a convenient item. “I guess there’s no need for teleportation?”

“It is that precious. Anyway, Crassus, who has finished his work at the World Tree, needs to join us. “If something happens due to variables, we need to get together again and come up with a solution.”

“Sure.”

Dio had also considered that Crassus might fail to destroy the World Tree.

“I just have to destroy the Life Vessel, right? “Am I the easiest?”

“It’s not destruction. “It’s a takeover.”

Dio corrected Calliope’s words.

“Decapitation? “What are you going to do with it?”

“If you purify Acrich’s Life Vessel, it can be quite useful.”

“okay?”

Calliope made a curious expression at Dio’s words.

However, we had to consider the variables that would arise from takeover rather than destruction.

“Then what happens when the Demon King is resurrected?”

“It won’t happen. Even if Acrich succeeds in resurrecting the Demon King, he will be weak as the seal will soon be released.”

Dio recalled the days of the Order Board.

The stage on which the Demon King appears is clearly set in the scenario on the order board.

The devil mentioned here refers to a devil in a state where he can exert his full power.

‘It felt like a bit of a taste of the Demon King being resurrected as Deathrugger.’

Accordingly, even if the Demon King was resurrected, Dio was not too worried because he had a plan for the next time.

“If things go wrong, give me a signal. If that doesn’t work, just leave. “It would be dangerous to confront even an unstable demon lord head-on.”

“Be kind. “Are you worried about me?”

Calliope giggled and Dio sighed and opened his mouth again seriously.

“It would be nice if everything went according to plan, but you always have to keep variables in mind.”

Dio looked alternately at Calliope and Crassus, who were paying attention to him.

Although they are powerful beings called the Seven Stars, Dio knows that there are more terrifying beings than them.

“The Saint of Luna is by no means a soft person.”

Walpurgis Night passed with Dio’s warning, which reminded him of Kaleina.

* * *

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

After finishing his reminiscence, Dio asked how Crassus was doing.

Crassus, who had obviously fought a fierce battle to destroy the World Tree, appeared somehow to be in good condition.

Even though it was an attack and defense without players participating, even taking that into account, I didn’t expect Dio to be this fine.

I was curious about this and was about to ask how the World Tree was destroyed, but Crassus answered first.

“As you can see, there is no problem. Oh, I just got a call from Calliope too.”

“is it so? “What happened there?”

“It seems like it worked out well. Calliope will be here soon.”

As soon as Crassus finished speaking, a new person suddenly appeared next to Dio.

“Hello everyone! how have you been doing?”

Calliope, showing off her fascinating appearance, waved her hand at Dio and Crassus.

“Did you handle the Life Vessel well?”

“Why don’t we talk about work later?”

At Dio’s words, Calliope smiled and snapped her fingers.

Hwaak-

The fog of the dream environment, which Sepia worked hard to purify, dissipated in an instant.

Only then did Dio see the Allied forces slowly waking up from their sleep.

“Ugh-”

“I was definitely fighting a demon beast…”

“What on earth happened?”

Dio’s group and the injured people Agram worked hard to gather in one place.

They were moaning here and there and tossing and turning to wake their still dazed minds.

“Maybe we should send it to the East first?”

“please.”

Dio nodded at Calliope’s suggestion, and a huge magic circle began to be drawn under the battlefield where the Allies fought.

Since we couldn’t leave the dead, let alone the injured, in this ominous demon world, we sent the entire space away.

Jiiiing –

It took quite a long time for the magic circle to be completed as a large number of people had to be moved.

Now that the battle is over, there are about 200 surviving Allied forces.

Although we suffered quite a bit of damage, sacrificing this much of our troops to capture the Descruger could be seen as a successful ending.

As for compensation…a high-ranking person, whether a prince or an emperor, will take care of it.

Shoo shoo shoo –

Eventually, Calliope’s magic circle was completed and began to be activated immediately.

An amazing phenomenon where so many people disappeared in an instant.

But not everyone moved.

A group of people standing on the pitch black land that suddenly became empty.

Dio’s companions.

Calliope and Crassus.

And only Elaine was left in the lonely magic world.
