Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory - Chapter 40
Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 40
Episode 40:
Dio escapes the chaos of Rivernos due to the Heretic Questioner’s visit.
Thanks to his haste, he was able to take out Sephia, who was about to be released from petrification, in time.
To Sepia, who was confused, Dio explained her and his situation in detail.
The existence of Ludens.
Because he came to the mansion, Sephia also became involved with the demons and was chased by the Heresy Inquisition Department of the Luna Church.
Just as D.O. had first threatened to say to Sepia, he explained everything, including situations that could lead to being accused of heresy.
Of course, he did not forget to explain that it was not an arbitrary action and that it was a request from Sigmund.
There is no particular reason to hide it.
“I see… So I ended up parting ways with my brother without even being able to say a final goodbye.”
Sepia speaks softly.
Dio was slightly surprised to see that she didn’t look sad.
“…are you okay?”
“are you okay. “I have something to tell you more than that.”
For some reason, Dio was puzzled by Sepia’s expression, which showed determination in her eyes.
‘what? ‘What kind of psychological change occurred?’
Dio, who was curious about what to say, nodded, and Sephia stared into Dio’s eyes and opened her mouth.
“I want to become stronger.”
“uh?”
Sephia’s words were full of determination, and Dio could immediately understand her resolve.
Sepia knows too.
For whom did Sigmund make the difficult choice?
Sepia doesn’t want to believe me.
He must have decided to trust the choice of Sigmund, who can be said to be the only one on his side.
Because of this incident, Sigmund may be stripped of his position and may be wanted by Luna.
Sepia couldn’t have known this.
He must have promised himself that Sigmund’s sacrifice would not be in vain.
If Sigmund had been satisfied with just being wary and not trusting others in his safe haven…
he would not have said that he wanted to become stronger.
“If I follow Dio, will I be able to become stronger too? “Is it possible to live in this world without anyone’s protection anymore?”
“….”
In response to Sepia’s cold question, Dio closed his eyes for a moment.
The silence that came to them.
Dio opened his eyes again and made a confident expression, as if he was responding to Sepia’s decision.
“of course.”
As soon as Dio answered, Sepia clenched her fists.
“The hardships and adversities that will arise in the future will be a tough fight unlike anything you have ever experienced before. Is that okay?”
“are you okay. “I won’t cry or give up.”
“good.”
Sepia’s response once again strengthened her resolve.
Dio nodded at that sincerity.
‘okay. Only when you become strong will I feel at ease.’
I was lucky that Sepia was smart.
If she had been an immature child, she would have been nothing more than a burden she felt on her own.
But now.
Contrary to what Dio had worried about, Sepia achieved internal growth.
‘Sigmund. What you asked for was Sepia’s protection, but I’m busy with my own life. ‘I will grant your request indirectly.’
Sephia took the first step, hoping to become stronger herself.
If Sepia is forced to follow along without any determination, its growth will be slow and may even stop.
Dio took out a bow from his inventory to Sepia, who was waiting for his words.
“receive.”
A bow with an impressive white paint like snow.
The unique grade ‘Crystal Recurve Bow’ was a highly versatile piece of equipment that could be used by anyone with a minimum strength level.
Although there is no level limit, its destructive power is not that great.
No matter how unique the grade is, since there are no restrictions, there is a penalty in the order board.
However, Dio knows that there is no item like this for training alt characters.
‘That’s also why I have this equipment in my warehouse.’
It may be difficult for Sepia to use it right away due to its difficulty, but it is the best weapon for her right now.
From the moment Dio visited the Rivernos warehouse, he had envisioned how he would train Sepia.
The first button is this.
“…This?”
Sepia carefully held the bow Dio handed her.
“Race your life. Don’t take survival lightly before you become stronger. “If you die for Sigmund, you will have nothing.”
Sepia’s class is as unknown as the forgotten swordsman class.
But Dio knew one thing for sure.
That means that sepia’s potential is endless.
‘According to Ludens’ words, Sepia’s class type would be close to priest. But it doesn’t feel like a typical priest. Rather, he is closer to a wizard.’
Dio thought, recalling Sepia’s ability to burn Victor.
Dio, who has been playing the Order Board for a long time, has more than once experienced raising talented NPCs.
Basically, basic physical strength is important for wizards.
Using a bow can increase both strength and agility.
Moreover, magic is basically an attack method with overwhelming destructive power.
What is important here is accuracy.
Bowmen are not called physics wizards for nothing.
‘There is no need to rush to Estel Room.’
The next destination may be filled with danger.
Before arriving there, Dio planned to develop Sepia’s basic abilities as much as possible.
If you order this and that, you will be able to find out the power of sepia in more detail.

Sabagsabag –
A bipedal monster with a pig’s face, with a narrow forehead and enlarged jaw.
Two orcs with green skin and muscular bodies were passing through a swamp.
Living in a village, they each had a deer and a wild boar on their belts, probably because they were procuring food.
It’s not just the corpses of animals. Each of them was carrying a huge sack that looked like they had looted something.
“The wider the territory, the easier it is to hunt.”
“What the Chief said was right.”
“The day is not far when we will completely take over the territory of humans.”
“right. I can’t wait to fight again. Weak humans are just our prey.” As the orcs passed by
the
muddy swamp, the sound of something cutting through the wind was heard.
The Orcs, who were happy about the fact that they could easily obtain food, were unable to respond at all to the unexpected threat.
Pop!
“Keuuk!”
Of the two orcs, the one closer to the swamp had an arrow with an impressive silver-colored collar stuck in its forearm.
“Ku kuek!”
Orcs are not monsters so weak that they can be killed instantly by a single arrow.
However, one arrow fired unexpectedly was enough to break the orc’s balance and plunge it into the swamp.
“It came from there!”
“It’s human!”
As the orc in the swamp was struggling, the remaining orc looked in the direction from which the arrow came and took out the ax from his belt.
Ping –
As if it was natural, a second arrow flew out and headed for the orc’s head.
However, the orc, recognizing the surprise attack, raised its arm and blocked the arrow.
Sigh!
The arrow got stuck in the orc’s forearm, but unlike the orc who lost his balance and fell into the swamp, he held his ground firmly.
“Kuuuuu!”
The orc ran forward, letting out a distinctive roar as if it had discovered something.
Orcs, known to be braver than any other race, are a warlike race that excels at close combat based on their high strength and stamina.
It is difficult to eliminate the orc’s momentum with just arrows.
Sae-Ae-Ae-Ae-Ae-!
The orc, who had been continuously catching arrows with his body, ran forward without warning and swung his huge ax sharply.
bang-!
When an orc chopped down a huge tree trunk with an axe, the old tree, which seemed to have withstood countless waves of time, fell down without a sound with a crashing sound.
Jijijik –
At the sound of branches being tangled and torn apart, the orc raised his head and looked up at the tree.
He clearly saw a human sniping at him from a tree.
The orc’s vision was accurate, and soon he was able to spot the human falling from the tree that was the support.
“Kruk?”
I thought I had definitely fallen, but that wasn’t the case.
It didn’t fall, but jumped towards the orc itself.
Silver hair visible through the smeared mud, a small physique that makes you feel like you’re wearing leather armor, and sparkling red eyes under dark eyelids that have the fierce but calm look of an expert hunter.
The identity of the human who attacked the orc was none other than Sepia, a native of the Rivernos slums and Sigmund’s younger sister.
The oak squinted at the sunlight shining down on her back as the canopy of trees fell.
Sepia did not miss this opportunity.
She straightened up on her knees and hit the orc squarely in the head.
Jump!
Sepia’s skillful movements, which did not seem like she could fight at all, were so good that the orcs mistook her for an elf.
“cook!”
When Sephia’s knee, bearing all of her weight, hit the orc’s face, the orc’s gigantic body hesitated, but only for a moment.
“Kuuuuu!”
The orc screamed and stretched out its arm to grab Sepia.
“Tch!”
Sepia clicked her tongue and spun around to avoid the orc’s grasp.
Huung –
Sepia, who narrowly avoided the orc’s arm, leaped once again using the arm of the guy as a stepping stone.
An orc that took several arrows with its bare body.
Even hitting with your weight doesn’t work on him.
However, Sepia did not run out of means of attack.
The reason she was unable to inflict a fatal blow with an arrow was not because she lacked power.
It’s only been 15 days since I picked up a bow under Dio’s guidance.
Sepia, which still lacked accuracy, had difficulty hitting the orc’s vital points.
However, it is different at such close range.
One last remaining arrow in her hand.
Hwareuk –
It wasn’t just an arrow. The arrow in her hand began to be enveloped in blazing flames.
Sigh!
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
As soon as the arrowhead pierced the orc’s eye, the sound of a pig being slaughtered echoed through the forest.
The sharpness of the point and the flame attached to it burned the orc’s eyes, causing terrible pain.
Sepia, who was completely holding onto her opponent’s back, did not stop there.
She immediately wrapped her legs around the orc’s thick neck, climbed on top, and placed the bow she was holding on the orc’s uvula.
“Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
The more strength Sepia’s arm exerted, the more the bow tightened around the orc’s neck, causing him to writhe in pain.
thud!
Due to Sepia’s relentless persistence, the orc’s body eventually went limp and he was completely suffocated.
“haha.”
Sepia looks down at the fallen orc, out of breath.
She immediately stood up and pulled down the scarf that covered her nose and mouth.
“I told you, right? “I can handle you well.”
Dio, who finally appeared in response to Sepia’s cries, which were full of poisonousness compared to 15 days ago, opened his mouth with an extremely shocked expression.
“Okay…good job.”
I was trying to raise a wizard, but for some reason Sepia’s appearance is full of ranger-ness.
Where did it go wrong?
No, did it go well?
Dio began to think about his journey of the past 15 days once again.
