Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 193
Episode 193:
A large hole has appeared in the sky of the ecliptic.
The Legion of Demonic Beasts and the Army of the Luna Church, passing through the gap in the collapsed barrier and constantly falling to the ground, showed no signs of decreasing in number.
‘indeed. ‘Is that the Great Warrior of the Sun that I’ve only heard about?’
In that sky, Kaleina was reading the flow of the battlefield.
Kaleina took the risk of exposing her existence and appeared in front of Dio.
The reason was simple.
This is because it is necessary to understand with one’s own eyes the extent of the power of the being called Dio.
The Great Warrior of the Sun will be the ultimate and final opponent for Kaleina herself.
The information I learned by approaching Dio like that was quite valuable.
‘It’s not just that they have great power… they are blocking my overwhelming forces with a small number of people based on innate tactics.’
Kaleina looked at Dio and the believers of the sun who were guarding the area under his command, one by one.
A witch who is driving out demonic beasts with shadow armor created through shadow magic.
A vampire who is taking on the infected paladins head-on with skillful martial arts and blood magic.
Even the high elves who once joined forces with the Luna Church have now followed the sun.
‘Among these, the most problematic one is the Great Warrior and the Saint…’
Kaleina kept an eye on two specific people who showed much better skills than the rest of the party.
Sepia, the Holy Virgin of Solari, in charge of the northwest of the ecliptic.
Kaleina obediently acknowledged Sepia, who had taken the position of a ‘saint’ like herself.
The sanctuary she spread was much more threatening than the rampage of other Sun believers.
Although Kaleina used her power to prevent the sanctuary created by Sepia from spreading throughout the ecliptic, she was unable to stop it all.
If Sanctuary had spread, Solari’s forces would have had a much easier time dealing with Kaleina’s forces than they do now.
‘And Dio… I thought he would take care of me because he was worried about me. There may be a part of me that believes it.’
Kaleina was lost in thought as she looked at Dio, who was commanding the imperial army in the northern region of the ecliptic.
One of the reasons why Kaleina appeared directly to Dio was to make him worry about her and prevent him from concentrating on the battle.
At first, Dio seemed to be acting passively, as Kaleina had thought.
And that’s just for a moment.
As if he had made up his mind, Dio used the enormous power of the sun without hesitation and devastated Kaleyna’s forces.
The power of one great warrior of the sun was so strong that not even the Luna Church and the Demon King’s Legion could handle it.
Nevertheless, Kaleina did not come forward directly.
The other person may be pretending to lose strength.
Above all, you have to wait here.
Only then will we be able to complete the foundation for the next move.
‘I won’t let down my guard this time.’
[Amazing.]
Rademos’ voice came into Kaleina’s head as she was constantly fighting with Dio.
Could it be Rademos’ admiration for feeling Dio’s strength like Kaleina?
‘He is the only great warrior of Solari who has gathered strength for a thousand years. That level of strength is not expected.’
Kaleina frowned as if Rademos, who was speaking to her, was interrupting her.
However, Rademos once again spoke to Kaleyna in a voice full of laughter, wondering what was so funny.
[No, I am not the author. I’m talking about you.]
Rademos said that the person who surprised him was not Dio, but Kaleina.
Kaleyna was silent at this.
Because I know what Rademos is talking about.
[Kkkkkk. I have seen countless saints of Luna for a thousand years.]
Rademos was wounded in a war a thousand years ago and was sealed deep underground.
As he regained his strength, he was able to find out because he always looked at the continent through the ‘Eye of the Abyss’.
The reason Kaleina became a ‘saint’ was not because Luna chose her simply because she had outstanding divine power.
An ‘obsession’ that may be the same or even greater than that of Luna a thousand years ago.
That obsession refers to the idea that Luna’s absolute dominance is everything in the world.
Kaleina, who would go to any lengths to achieve that obsession, could not possibly be considered human even from the Demon King’s point of view.
[There has never been a bitch like you before and there will never be one again.]
‘I don’t have time to listen to nonsense.’
[Did you need my power in the first place? If you were planning on doing this from the beginning… you are extremely immoral.]
Despite Kaleyna’s cold words, Rademos continued to mutter something incomprehensible.
[Kkkkkkk How about taking the place of the Demon King instead of me? I think you can do it better than me.]
Is he just being sarcastic or is he sincere?
Hearing Rademos’ words, Kaleyna just quietly closed her eyes.
‘stop. Concentrate on your work. Rademos. ‘I’ll start right away at night.’
[Is there a question, noble saint?]

Squeak-
rumbling- rumbling
!
Demon beasts swarming around and infected soldiers of the Luna Church.
The remains of the collapsed buildings fell on their heads and crushed them all.
“Use the rubble as a barrier against them! “We must somehow prevent them from reaching the center!”
“All right!”
At Dio’s command, the knights of the empire swung their swords and spears at the demonic beasts trying to overcome the collapsed rubble.
The imperial citizens inside the building had already evacuated toward the imperial palace.
After receiving this report, Dio immediately tore down tall buildings and erected a temporary barrier.
Quang!
Dio swung his sword widely, making sure that there were no allies around him to be caught up in.
A powerful explosion with the power of the sun once again engulfed the infected paladins and demon beasts.
nevertheless.
The number of Luna Church soldiers and demonic beasts falling from the sky showed no signs of decreasing at all.
“How many? “Did you teleport all the troops in the south?”
Dio muttered as he cut down the endless crowd of infected paladins.
Originally, the plan was to start the war after about 15 days.
Clearly, the Empire also moved in line with the movement of the Luna Church’s forces.
Until yesterday, it was confirmed that the Luna Church’s main force was on the southern front.
I did not think that other than those troops, a new army was formed to attack the imperial capital.
It is somewhat understandable if, excluding the demonic beasts, the Luna Church soldiers currently deployed to the imperial capital are troops that should have been in the south.
According to Dio’s thoughts, the imperial army encamped on the southern front was in vain.
‘Kaleina’s new power… I would say it has far surpassed Calliope’s.’
Teleporting more than 10,000 units is an impossible task, even for Calliope.
But Kaleyna did it without a hitch.
The good news is that tens of thousands of armies will not appear at once.
‘It could be that a portal was created on the ecliptic. Should we try to stop that?’
Dio glanced at the imperial sky where the barrier had collapsed, but then shook his head.
The content of the quest was to annihilate the enemies of the imperial capital, but there was nothing to close the portal.
All Dio can trust now is Solari and the information provided by the system.
If you do anything else, you might get hit by Kaleyna.
Sigh-!
A black flame shoots out while Dio looks away for a moment.
This flame was not aimed at Dio, but at the imperial soldiers camped among the collapsed rubble.
“Avoid blood!”
“Run away!”
A huge flame that is dangerous even at a glance.
Dio quickly kicked the ground and swung his sword to extinguish the flames.
However, the black flames fired at the imperial army did not end with just one.
Huuuk-
Quang!
Like a stone thrown out by a catapult.
The black flames formed a parabolic curve and began to strike the barely prepared imperial army.
“Now you crazy, you’re using black magic too.”
Dio cursed as he realized that those who used the black flame were infected paladins.
Common sense dictates that a paladin can never use black magic.
Even in a game, the coexistence of light and darkness is an element that causes setting errors or loss of balance.
If that were possible, the morale class on the order board would definitely be a paladin.
The endless advance of infected paladins who casually break those rules.
If Sepia or Evelyn had been present, they would have been able to block their magic, but Dio is the only one guarding this area right now.
“Everyone gather here!”
Dio shouted at the imperial troops whose formation had collapsed.
Now the opponent is launching a destructive attack to break down the defense.
This means that D.O.’s strategy of establishing a front line using a roadblock is difficult.
In response, Dio opened his inventory and quickly moved his fingers.
Whirling –
When Dio manipulated the inventory window, his inventory showed one type of item listed.
The item keyword he found was none other than ‘shield’.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrva
. bang. bang. bang.
When Dio stretched out his hand, all of his shield items in his inventory lined up next to him and fell to the floor.
More than a hundred types of shields were taken out, and new barriers were created to replace the collapsed remains.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
Imperial soldiers hiding between the shields taken out by Dio.
The infected paladins used all kinds of black magic again, but this time, unlike the first time, they were unable to break down the imperial army’s formation.
This was possible because each and every shield Dio took out was an item of at least a unique level or higher.
‘This will be a great help in maintaining the front line.’
Although it may not be as good as Dio’s direct use, the shield’s position alone would be of great help to the imperial army.
As if Dio’s thoughts were correct, the infected paladins and demonic beasts could not easily penetrate the barrier built with shields.
War is never something that can be done alone.
Simply having the imperial army stand still can relieve a lot of pressure on Dio.
With the help of shields, the soldiers of the Imperial Army are not pushed back in battles against demonic beasts and infected soldiers of the Luna Church.
Using this momentum, Dio once again gathered his strength and cut down the densely packed enemies.
‘Am I shooting porridge here?’
Dio has no obligation to protect the empire.
And you may give up on a dangerous quest.
But that can’t be possible.
Even if you have to abandon everything, whether it’s the empire, your friends, or your quest, and run away.
Because the Saint of Luna will never stop to take her own life.

“How long does it take from here to the ecliptic?”
Crassus and Schuwald hear about the imperial capital’s attack from Calliope.
They were having an urgent meeting about how they should move.
“Even if we hurry, it will take three days. Of course, if the human army joins us, it will take much longer.”
In response to Schuwald’s question, Crassus calmly calculated the distance.
“Shouldn’t we protect the front line here as well? You and me. And if only the fast-moving elves join quickly….”
“Taking that into account, I said three days.”
“Hmm…”
“What about Calliope? “She would be able to move a significant portion of the troops, if not all of them, right?”
Schuwald thought about Crassus’ suggestion for a moment and then shook his head.
“…I can’t do that.”
