Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 190

Episode 190:

It has been about fifteen days since the emperor issued an edict to the entire continent.

In the meantime, Dio was mainly active outside of the imperial court.

The superficial structure of this war is the Empire and the Solari Church fighting against the Luna Church.

However, the forces that actually had to face each other in an all-out war were the Luna Church and the Empire.

As far as I know, the Solari Church did not yet exist as a proper kingdom or even a church, and it was not even at the stage of training troops.

Therefore, Dio did not get involved in the affairs of the imperial family as much as possible.

If there are two leaders in one place, things won’t progress quickly.

So, leaving the preparations for war to the emperor, Dio moved separately with his colleagues.

Of course, there was a mountain of work for Dio to do outside as well.

He diligently carried out missionary work against nobles and various guild groups who flocked to cooperate with the empire.

Most of them were people who came on their own, influenced by Solari’s doctrine and Dio’s achievements, so they were a great help in preparing for the war.

Mercenaries and adventurers wandering the continent, including wandering knights.

They considered themselves members of the Solari Church and participated in missionary activities together with Dio.

Moreover, they would go out on their own and carry out missionary work in their own region.

Although they did not even have proper discipline, they preached the kindness of the sun, which blessed them with crops and warmth.

Thanks to this, there are currently 8 million believers in Solari.

As previously thought, the number of Solari believers was increasing at an unbelievable rate.

Rumors created rumors again.

The achievements of Dio, who was praised as a warrior, were exaggerated and spread throughout the continent.

Still, people believed.

The person who successfully subdued the Demon Lord and tamed the legendary dragon was none other than Dio.

There is no need to exaggerate the paths that Dio went through, so they were amazing and people gathered and followed him.

—————

Current Solari believer: 8000651

Increased ability applied: 80%

Ability strengthened when activated: 800%

Duration: 800 seconds

Cooldown: 24 hours

—- ———–

Dio finished his morning routine as usual and looked at the system window containing information about the power of faith with a satisfied expression.

Dio’s basic abilities with the power of faith applied are normally increased by 80%.

In numerical terms, the basic ability can exert 180% of the power.

If you use the active skill here, you can generate 8 times the power in about 13 minutes.

However, no matter how strong he became, he could never let down his guard.

This is because the power of faith, a morale skill, is a skill that Kaleina also possesses.

‘I’m not sure to what extent Kaleina will be there.’

Dio sensed that the number of 8 million had reached its limit for now.

It was obvious that those who did not yet accept Solari’s doctrine would not be appeased no matter what Dio said.

Even if it increases, it will not be much different from the number of 8 million.

After closing the system window, Dio opened his mouth to his companions who were waiting for him.

“Everyone ready?”

“Yes, I took everything I needed.”

Sepia spoke on behalf of the group.

Currently, Dio’s group had gathered to leave for the south.

Dio did not only do missionary work over the past 15 days.

With my companions who were strong enough, I researched new magic and trained to coordinate with my colleagues.

And most importantly, we focused on attracting external forces.

The external forces referred to here refer to the forces of humans and other races that even the emperor could not easily contact.

The force that could be considered the representative force was none other than the elves.

“Is Elaine still there?”

“Oh, there he comes.”

Dio spotted Elaine approaching from afar and nodded.

Eline carried out a mission according to Dio’s instructions in the elven forest of Pandea.

She successfully convinced the elves to side with the Solari.

So, on behalf of the elves, he stopped by the imperial capital for a while to negotiate with the emperor.

And Dio and the others were waiting for Elaine to join her and go check on the elf army stationed in the south.

“I’m already tired.”

Elaine approached Dio and instead of saying hello, she let out a grumpy remark.

In fact, Elaine had no intention of formally forming an alliance between elves and humans by confronting the emperor.

Anyway, Elaine and the elves only fought against Luna, who tricked them, and they were suspicious of the humans’ help.

However, even if Elain was dissatisfied, Dio wanted to build a solid alliance system like the relationship between the elves and the empire with the Solari.

There is also a need to report information about support from these external forces to the emperor.

“Don’t complain too much. Against the Luna Church, the power of the Empire is not an option, but a necessity.”

“We can just go and destroy everything, but I don’t know why they’re making it so complicated.”

“I asked you this because I knew you would.”

Dio sighed at the attitude of the elves who had maintained a consistent way of thinking since the Order Board.

Even when the subjugation of the Demon Lord was underway, it was Elaine who suggested that we just destroy them all without any special strategy.

Elaine was not alone in this way of thinking.

Although most elves have strong personal power, they do not know how to wage war.

So the elf forces that appeared on the order board were always on the receiving end.

It was the players who always saved it.

“Anyway, the emperor will now deploy his troops with the elves in mind. “Elaine, focus on the South and nothing else.”

“…okay.”

Although she still looked unconvinced, Elaine nodded without any further complaints.

This was because, even though it was not Dio’s words that were bound by the oath of liberation, there were words that Crassus had urged Elaine to say.

He tells us to listen to Dio and protect his life no matter what happens.

Anyway, since Elain was the last to join, Dio was about to lead the group and leave, when something that no one expected began to happen.

pop! Kugoogung!

A loud, ear-splitting roar echoed across the imperial sky.

“What is it? “Is it an earthquake?”

“Earthquake? “Did you just hear something explode?”

The group looked at the sky, the source of the sound, without knowing why.

What they could see was a cracked sky, and Dio immediately knew what that phenomenon meant.

‘The barrier on the ecliptic is under attack. whoever?’

Damn it –

Dio knew that the best wizards on the continent always maintained a dome-shaped barrier in the Imperial Capital in preparation for any possible air attack.

What this means is that a crack has appeared in the sky of the ecliptic where such a barrier is placed.

It sounded like someone had received a strong shock from something. The sound of the barrier

being

distorted grew louder and louder, and every time the barrier spread throughout the ecliptic received damage, the ground also shook

.

‘Kaleina? No, how on earth and by what means?’

Dio thought of Kaleina, the only person capable of attacking the empire.

So I couldn’t understand it even more.

If she was a saint that Dio knew, she would never fight like this.

* * *

Pandea, an elven forest located in the southern part of the continent.

There, a dark elf was looking up at the sky with a bonfire lit.

“It’s ominous…”

Crassus muttered, looking at the dark clouds that looked like they were about to rain even though the sun had not yet set.

The seven stars who regularly meet in Temberk knew what Dio had done so far and were helping him as he was chosen by Solari.

The power of the seven stars was comparable to that of a single force, so they could become Dio’s strong allies.

No matter how strong the Seven Stars were, they could not rashly shake off the Luna Church’s pursuit.

In the end, ‘Giant Amir’, one of the members of the Seven Stars, lost his life after being chased by Luna.

Because of this, the seven stars decided that Temberg, where Walpurgis was held, was no longer safe.

The Seven Stars, who thought that the ‘deepest valley’ where Amir was hiding was as safe as Temberg, were wrong.

So the seven stars began to work outside the world in earnest.

This was why Crassus led the dark elves hiding throughout the continent to gather in the Elven Forest.

Crassus was able to resolve the misunderstanding thanks to Elaine.

He led the dark elves who followed him and joined the elf forest to protect the elves like before.

This is the front line closest to the Holy Kingdom of the Luna Church.

It was not unusual for a strong force like Crassus to be deployed here.

‘Are we still in touch?’

Crassus was waiting for Dio, who would meet him in person and inform him of the current progress of the war.

But for some reason the news is late.

Is it because he became upset after meeting Elaine?

Crassus tried to suppress his uncharacteristic nervousness.

“You look full of worry.”

Someone spoke to Crassus, who was lost in thought.

Crassus looked at the man who approached him and spoke to him.

He is twice as big as an average adult man.

The energy of bravery flowed from him like a lion.

Surprisingly, the person with Crassus was Dalimus, the lord of the Duke of Bertius.

“It’s no big deal.”

There were not only elves and dark elves in the elven forest now.

The Emperor of the Empire listened to Dio’s words and willingly dispatched soldiers to the areas where the Elves were stationed to spread a united front.

In return, Elaine went to meet the emperor to formally conclude negotiations.

In any case, the empire’s soldiers dispatched to the south numbered about 50,000 elite soldiers.

And that’s only based on selection.

Commanding this was Dalimus, known as the King of the East.

Since the Luna Church’s main facilities did not exist in the east to begin with, Dalimus willingly accepted the emperor’s order to dispatch them to the most dangerous southern region.

Dalimus spent time in the south with other non-human races.

The soldiers who came with Dalimus were initially reluctant to deal with other races.

Aside from elves, there was a strong perception that dark elves were the enemies of humans.

However, D.O. had already announced this in front of many people.

The story is that some of the races called demons, like their fellow vampires and witches, were cursed by Luna and were forced to live as fugitives.

Thanks to the words of Dio, who was revered as a warrior, the soldiers were able to prepare for war through joint training without much friction with other races.

Because they stayed together for over ten days, not only the soldiers but also Dalimus became quite friendly with Crassus.

So even now, Dalimus can talk to Crassus, who is resting, without hesitation.

“I don’t think it’s unusual for a strong person like you to worry.”

Dalimus, who did not easily believe Crassus’s words that it was no big deal, continued.

That’s because Crassus, whom Dalimus had seen so far, was a strong man who never lost his composure in any situation.

“It’s just an unfortunate event that happens sometimes.”

“No, that’s not rain.”

Another voice, not that of Crassus and Dalimus, joined their conversation.

“What does that mean? “Schwalt.”

Another Seven Star, Schuwald, who joined Crassus on the southern front.

He recently joined the group, leading the vampires and werewolves who followed him, just as Crassus led the dark elves.

Anyway, Schwald looked alternately at Crassus and Dalimus, who were paying attention to him with a pretended serious expression.

“I received a call from Calliope, who was near the imperial capital… The imperial capital has been attacked.”
