Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 95
Episode 95
Generally, magicians of the 8th circle are classified as archmages.
Luave dell’Achiel.
This standard also applies to warlocks, and Luav is clearly a warlock called an archmage.
‘I was hoping my prediction would be wrong…’
Dio sighed upon recognizing Luave’s proprietary patent, [Lunar Eclipse], but soon came to his senses.
Luave’s specialty is ‘Improvement of Beasts’.
Turn monsters into magical beasts and combine new magical beasts to create chimeras.
Due to Luave’s ability to turn even beasts into magical beasts, the nickname given to him is ‘Legion’.
To fight Luave, you have to defeat the army of demonic beasts under his control.
It’s not an annoying level enemy.
You have to risk your life to deal with him.
No matter how strong you are, there is a limit to your physical strength.
Of course, there are stronger beings, so it does not belong to the pentagram, but that does not mean it is weak.
Compared to the enemies we have met so far, it is on the same level as the five-handed sword Galetto.
Even then, Dio was no match for Galletto.
If it weren’t for Schuwald, who ran away during the full moon, he would have been stuck.
‘If you hold out until Calliope’s treatment is complete…’
Among the current forces, the only person who can compete against Luave is the Witch of Balance.
No matter how strong Luave is, she is weaker than Calliope, the Witch of Balance.
However, Calliope’s current condition was not perfect, so Dio had to do whatever it took to stop her until she recovered.
thud.
The demonic beasts with their backs to the darkness begin to move.
Although the night obscured the appearance of the demonic beasts, the shaking of the ground showed that the scale was not small.
thud! thud!
“Light up!”
“They are coming!”
Even without Dio saying anything, the soldiers knew this, so they hurriedly revealed their surroundings.
They moved the torch they were holding to a nearby brazier or sprinkled luminous stones around them.
The priests also used magic and divine power to brighten the surroundings.
“Everyone, stay alert! He is one of the leaders of the warlocks. “This is Luave Dell’Achiel!”
Convinced that it was Luave, Dio called out to each commander and shared the identity of the guy.
“Luave? A warlock of the 8th circle? Damn, not in the North, but already in the East?”
Conrad shouted after hearing Dio’s words.
Through his reaction, we can see that Luave’s notoriety is also known to the Luna Church.
There are only a few archmages on the entire continent.
Moreover, if it is a warlock who can be said to be the archenemy of the Luna Church, it is impossible for Konrad, the leader of the Holy Knights, to know about it.
“This [lunar eclipse] is not just for blocking light! Demonic beasts affected by this will have much stronger strength, so be careful!”
Dio warned everyone that it would be different from the magical beasts they first faced.
It is clear that he is a veteran mercenary, but Dio is still just a mercenary.
It seemed that such a mercenary naturally gave overall orders, but no one expressed dissatisfaction with this.
Naturally, Dio had already shown them his abilities, so there was no way he would be dissatisfied.
Coo!
A huge sound let them know that the demonic beasts had reached a short distance away.
“Enemy ahead discovered! The exact number is difficult to determine!”
The soldier on the watchtower shouted when he spotted the demonic beast that had appeared from the darkness.
Dio, who also discovered this, raised his voice once again.
“The enemy’s leader is Grave Elephant! Watch out for the Black Lizard behind him!”
The Grave Elephant fully revealed itself as soon as Dio finished speaking.
The nearly 3-meter-tall creature, nicknamed the ‘Grave Elephant’ among players, showed off its majesty by raising its front legs.
-Coooooo!
* * *
Dio smiled as he looked at the selected demon beasts that were organized around Grave Elephant, as he had expected.
Fighting against Luave, who commands an army of demonic beasts, is something Dio is familiar with.
When dealing with Luave for the first time, Dio and the players had a very difficult time.
However, several prominent figures, including Dio, experienced the fixed tactic pattern used by Luave and created a strategy to break it.
Due to Luave’s own arrogance, including level 8, he prioritized quantity rather than diversity and variation in tactics.
‘It’s an obvious tactic to me, who knows the pattern.’
Dio, who has already had endless experience with Luave’s tactics, already knows how to counter him.
And this has already been shared with Calco and Konrad.
Dio drew a large circle with the hand holding the torch.
Calco, who watched this, nodded and shouted loudly.
“Raise your sword! Don’t be afraid of the monster in front of you! “Give them a taste of Bertio’s sword!”
“Waaaa!”
Bertio’s shout signaled the start of a full-scale fight.
* * *
Large-scale battles with demonic beasts are different from wars between humans.
There is no need for the demonic beasts to have a commander commanding from the rear or sounding a trumpet.
They only follow their instincts, under the command of the most powerful warlock.
The instinct is to destroy the enemy in front of you.
-Coooooo!
A knight stood in front of the Grave Elephant.
Quang!
A huge paw struck the knight in the way, causing a lot of dust to rise from the impact.
Kurrrrr-
A shock so strong that the ground trembles.
However, the Bertio knight withstood the Grave Elephant’s attack.
A superhuman who has already far surpassed the range of power that humans can produce.
“Keuuuuuu…! “Are you going to beat me?”
That was the knight, and the knight who had solidified his defense as instructed by Dio from the beginning was able to withstand the Grave Elephant’s attack.
bang!
The knight forcefully pushed away the Grave Elephant’s foot, which he had blocked with his sword.
Coo!
A Grave Elephant lying down awkwardly.
However, as Dio said, the Black Lizard’s attacks continued one after another, charging at him using him as a shield.
-Coooooo!
-Karruk! Loud!
This is not a typical lizard race. The Black Lizard was addicted to the darkness of the warlock and was reborn as a magical beast.
Even though he is already 2 meters long, his height has increased by 30%.
Those with hard, sharp black scales swung their weapons at the knights.
however.
Puppuppuk-!
The long spears of the soldiers assisting the knights from behind pierced the Black Lizard.
The soldiers were not strong enough to kill the Black Lizard in one blow, but just stopping their actions helped the knight’s next move.
Kwagwagwagwak!
The knight’s horizontal slash cut down dozens of Black Lizards.
“Soldiers, assist the knight! “Don’t just step forward and put up a shield whenever possible!”
Battles of this type took place in various places, and Calco, who was in full command of the Bertio knights, led the horses and calmly gave orders.
Quagwagwagwang!
As Bertio’s knights and soldiers held fast to the front, the magicians had no choice but to crowd in, and the trap of the wizard and Evelyn, who had been waiting for this, was activated.
Puff puff!
A trap created by concentrating mana.
So-called mana mines.
The activated mine caused a huge explosion and instantly engulfed the demon beast.
The demon beasts that were trying to somehow escape from the explosion were unable to escape easily because of the shadows that were hanging on their feet.
“You’re doing great.”
Dio, who saw that the first battle was successful, raised his sword high and signaled.
A signal to never charge even if the demonic beasts in the front line are weakened.
“Stay where you are! “Defend the first position!”
In response, Kalko shouted again and reorganized the soldiers’ line.
The Duke of Bertio was not called the King of the East for nothing.
Bertio, even an ordinary soldier, is called an elite.
Unless you have been through intense training for a long time, it is impossible to move in accordance with commands like this.
Of course, Dio planned his strategy from the beginning based on the assumption of a warlock named Luabra.
And conveying this to Calco and Konrad was also helpful.
‘I’ll try to prepare soon too.’
Normally, he would have taken the lead in the battle to monopolize the experience points, but in this battle, Dio did not go on a rampage easily.
This is because you need to focus on Luave, which can be seen as your biggest enemy.
Bubble bubbling!
Fireworks exploding here and there light up the surroundings.
The number of demonic beasts reflected in the explosion was countless.
Even though the Bertio knights cut down many of the demonic beasts in the front line.
-Karruk!
-Kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Once the installed mana mines were all consumed, the demonic beasts’ battle line began to recover again.
Because there were so many of them, even the Vertio knights seemed overwhelmed.
No matter how strong the knights are, endurance fighting is not a good choice.
Paaaaat!
The brilliant light that would save the knights who had reached their limit burned the magical beast.
It was the priests’ [Holy Light].
The light containing Luna’s divine power, which is fatal to the demon beasts, pushed back the demon beasts’ battle lines more overwhelmingly than when the mana mine exploded.
“Now! rotation!”
Paladins are sent into battle instead of tired knights.
This was also a strategy that D.O. had planned in advance.
Oaks is a small town located on the outskirts.
So, although it was difficult to use fortification tactics, it also had advantages.
Demonic beasts attacked from all directions, but the troops focused on defense centered on Ox were also concentrated.
There is no need to release a dense form to fight multiple demon beasts at once.
The basic framework of this strategy is to take advantage of bottlenecks resulting from differences in volume and terrain.
As it is a small village, the places where battles take place are limited, and knights and paladins can take turns blocking the beasts.
“Hold on!”
“Dirty demon beasts!”
As the paladins who drew their swords came out on behalf of
Knight
Bertio, Conrad naturally took over as commander.
The same battle repeats itself again.
However, Ox’s solid defense blocked the demon beast just as well as the first time, or even more solidly.
“We are moving now too.”
“yes!”
Dio, who thought it was time to make a move, began to slowly examine the situation.
Thanks to the efforts of the Vertio Knights and the Holy Knights of the Luna Church in turns, they appear to be able to block the attack without difficulty.
The situation clearly favors the Ox Alliance.
Did Luave, who knew this, give different instructions?
The demonic beasts that had initially flocked from all directions suddenly turned and began to focus on one place.
As this happened, Ox’s troops also moved accordingly.
If one place is breached, the entire thing will collapse in an instant, so it would be natural.
However, this is Luave’s intention, set before the battle even begins.
The moment when the troops on the side relaxed for a moment against the relentless attack of the demonic beasts on the front.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
A group of hellhounds pouring in on a giant worm that broke through the ground.
The number was not small, as if they had been preparing for this in advance.
A flank invasion by demonic beasts that were estimated to be five hundred in number.
The surprised soldiers shouted in confusion, but the main knights and paladins were already unable to provide support to block the magical attack from the front.
“Ha!”
Crumbling!
Roberto stretched out his fist and landed in the middle of the demonic army that was trying to break through the side.
The shock wave created by Roberto’s fist that struck the ground instantly tore apart the nearby demonic beasts.
‘There’s no way around it.’
Luave’s core strategy of easily destroying small villages and destroying even strictly disciplined troops was none other than flanking raids.
However, D.O. predicted this and immediately prepared for the poor timing.
Crack!
Vampire Roberto, whose physical abilities were much higher than those of humans, ripped open the hell hound’s mouth with just his grip strength.
Not only that, every time he swung his fist, the bodies of the demonic beasts exploded and the blood of the demonic beasts began to be absorbed into him.
Bubble bubbling!
[Blood Explosion], which absorbs and explodes the opponent’s blood.
This not only caused damage to the opponent, but also restored Roberto’s stamina.
It was a down-and-out fight with an appropriate balance between offense and defense.
“Let’s go on a rampage too.”
“Yes! Leave it to me!”
Evelyn shouted loudly at Dio’s words.
The wide shadow spread from her staff began to flow through the darkness and surround the demonic beasts that were making a surprise attack.
