Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 194
Episode 194:
Among the seven stars, only Calliope is capable of large-scale teleportation.
Crassus wondered why Calliope could not help them.
“Currently, Calliope is examining the barrier placed on the ecliptic. “They won’t have the resources to help us.”
“Maybe we can help?”
“No, even if we go to a barrier that even she can’t easily break, it won’t be of much help.”
Schwald summarized what he had received from Calliope and his thoughts and began to tell Crassus.
“The only seven stars that can help Dio right now are Calliope. And the most problematic thing is the existence of a barrier blocking entry into the imperial capital.”
“Are you saying that even if you take us, we’ll be blocked by the barrier, so it’s just a waste of strength?”
Crassus, who understood Schuwald’s words, responded in despair.
“yes. We’d better figure it out ourselves here. “Calliope’s help is too much of a gamble.”
Schuwald described asking Calliope for help as a gamble.
This was Schuwald’s decision considering Calliope’s abilities.
If we were to simply look at power, Calliope could not be said to be the strongest among the seven stars.
However, when it came to war, Calliope’s abilities could be used in a much wider variety of ways than those of the other seven stars.
Even if it’s not just teleportation like now, it’s the ability to resolve barriers or wide-area magic that can annihilate multiple enemies.
In many ways, what is helping the ecliptic right now is not the seven stars of Schuwald and Crassus, but the power of one Calliope.
“shit. And what if Calliope fails to resolve the barrier? The current forces of the Imperial Capital will not be able to stop the attack…”
Even if the Imperial Capital withstood the three-day period, it was difficult for the southern troops who had forced the march to show their full strength.
The more they talked, the more Crassus sensed that the empire’s situation was not good, and he became deeply troubled.
“We shouldn’t just be like this, let’s get moving for now. Wouldn’t it be better to seek help from others?”
Schuwald said, recalling Duke Dalimus, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Human Army.
Perhaps, with the help of the empire’s wizards, even a small number of people might be able to enter the imperial capital.
However, just as Schwald was about to take his steps to find Dalimus.
“for a moment.”
Crassus, caught by something, caught Schuwald’s footsteps.
It came to mind.
I have no idea how to overcome the current situation.
‘If you use that person’s abilities…!’
Crassus hurriedly opened his mouth to Schuwald, who had an expression on his face asking what was going on.

Caw –
A crow circling in the burning ecliptic sky.
The crow quickly descended and climbed onto Dio’s shoulder among the numerous corpses.
[This part has been roughly organized.]
Evelyn’s voice comes through the mouth of a crow.
Dio shook the blood off his sword and looked around.
The number of demonic beasts and Luna Church soldiers, which seemed to never end, was seen to have decreased drastically.
The damage to the imperial army commanded by Dio was not that great, as shown by the fact that the position created with the shields in the warehouse faithfully fulfilled its role.
“There isn’t much left here. Don’t let down your guard though. “Because this isn’t all they have.”
[Okay.]
“What about the other kids?”
[Well, I still attached my familiars to everyone. I will contact you shortly.]
“Okay. “If anything happens, please contact me right away.”
Evelyn’s familiar showed excellent communication skills, so it was a great help in a situation where the party was separated.
Thanks to this, they were able to quickly understand each other’s situation, and Dio nodded in understanding at Evelyn’s report on stabilizing the area he was responsible for the fastest.
Evelyn, like her teacher Calliope, has exceptional abilities in fighting multiple enemies.
In particular, street fighting is an environment where Evelyn’s shadow magic shines even brighter.
Shadow Armor, which had an ego, was skilled in individual combat because it moved based on Dio’s movements.
Additionally, unlike Dio, he can use powerful wide-area magic that will not cause damage to allies.
This was possible because Evelyn’s shadow had the self-identity to distinguish between enemies and enemies without her having to think about it.
‘Maybe Evelyn will be as key as Sephia.’
Dio looked around and turned his head towards Sephia’s direction.
Sepia can make a high contribution in this battle just by being able to use Solari’s sanctuary.
Nevertheless, the reason why the area was cleared later than Evelyn was because of the enemies.
If the enemies consisted only of demonic beasts, Sephia among Dio’s companions would have been the first to annihilate the enemies.
However, half of the enemy troops are infected Luna Church soldiers.
‘Even in an infected state, he is ultimately a paladin.’
Dio kicked the ground and ran toward the remaining infected paladins.
Kwadeuk –
An infected paladin who is cut from head to toe by Dio’s sword.
It’s not that the Holy Knights of the Luna Church are suffering without any help from the power of the sun.
The power of the sun only neutralizes the tentacle ability attached to the infected paladin, but the slaughter of the paladin is entirely due to Dio’s force.
‘Sepia may take a long time. When I have time, I’ll have to go there.’
Sepia’s Sanctuary only helps allies destroy the infected Paladins.
The infected paladin has not only the power of the Demon King, but also Luna’s protection applied to him.
In order to deal with many of these people, Sephia had to use area-wide magic with stronger fire properties rather than religious power, but the surrounding situation was not conducive to doing so.
This is because it is obvious that the people of the empire will get caught up if Sepia carelessly uses a wide-area magic large enough to set the surrounding area on fire.
As Dio, who had lost his mind to this point, was about to hurriedly eliminate the remaining enemies, another crow climbed on top of Dio’s head.
[Mr. Dio.]
“Sepia?”
Dio looked slightly surprised when he realized that the new crow was Evelyn’s familiar assigned to Sepia.
I wondered if something had happened in Sepia’s area, but Sephia’s words, delivered through the crow’s mouth, were good news, different from Dio’s worries.
[I destroyed all the temples in my area. How about there?]
“Already?”
Dio was puzzled by Sepia’s words.
Didn’t you think that Sephia’s abilities would not be effective against enemies?
However, Sepia’s words quickly followed, resolving Dio’s doubts.
[The Paladins of the Luna Church use black magic.]
“Yes. “I also checked.”
[I used purification magic just in case, and it was noticeably weakened. Thanks to that, I and the imperial troops in the area were able to take it down easily.]
After hearing Sepia’s words, Dio tilted his head as if it was strange.
‘Luna’s protection must have been protecting her, but the purification magic worked?’
Dio naturally thought that purification magic would not work on the infected paladins.
‘I don’t know if the direct purification ability that contains the power of the sun may also affect Luna’s divine protection.’
In any case, the fact that Sepia easily dealt with the infected paladin was a good story for Dio.
Dio tried to tell Sepia that she had done a good job, but Sephia wasn’t finished talking yet.
[But some strange things happened.]
“Strange things?”
[Among the Paladins of the Luna Church that remained until the end, there were some to whom my purification ability did not work at all.]
“Really?”
After Sepia’s additional report, Dio realized that his thoughts were half correct.
[Luna’s divine power surrounded the magic energy used by the Holy Knights. I think that’s why my purification magic didn’t work.]
“Okay. It looks like Kaleyna is up to something. But it’s strange…why did only some of the troops take such action and not all of them?”
[Well…?]
Sephia also answered Dio’s question as if he were puzzled.
‘Is it just a coincidence? Or maybe Kaleina doesn’t have enough power to bestow blessings on the entire army…’
Dio thought about what he was hoping for and then shook his head.
Kaleina’s power always had to be at its peak.
The power of Kaleina that Dio now thinks is beyond imagination, in addition to the power of the Demon King Rademos.
Rather than thinking that Kaleina was lacking in power, it was more comfortable to think that Kaleina used this method on purpose.
‘Anyway, it’s definitely something worth paying attention to.’
After gathering his thoughts, Dio opened his mouth to give the next instructions to Sepia, who had cleaned the area.
“Is Adi with you?”
[Yes.]
When Dio dispersed the group, he attached the dragon Adi to Sepia.
Sepia’s saintly abilities are better served by a guard.
Moreover, out of the group, Adi follows Sepia the most, so Dio made the best decision.
Thanks to this, it was clear that Adi’s help helped Sephia annihilate the enemies in the area faster than Dio expected.
“From now on, listen to me carefully. “Take a look with Adi at the outskirts of the barrier that separates the outside world from the ecliptic.”
[A barrier? But with my abilities…]
“I’m not asking you to solve the barrier. “You find Calliope.”
Dio mentioned the existence of Calliope, who is trying to resolve the barrier that is clearly a thorn in the side of the ecliptic in many ways.
Calliope would clearly be aware that one of the biggest problems is the ecliptic barrier.
Then, no matter how wide the ecliptic is, if Adi flies quickly and searches for it, he will definitely be able to meet it easily.
“Never fly high in the central sky. “Because Kaleyna will be there.”
Dio couldn’t see Kaleina, but he could guess that she was watching them from somewhere.
And it was clear that the most likely location for her would be the holey sky from which demonic beasts and Luna Church soldiers continued to descend.
[After finding it?]
“Send Eveline’s familiar straight away like now. “I will join right away.”
[all right. Then I’ll leave right away. Adi!]
Sephia’s voice calling for Adi was heard from the crow’s mouth.
At this, Dio seemed to remember something and spoke urgently to Sephia.
“Oh wait.”
[Yes?]
“Can you come here for a moment before looking for Calliope?”
[To Dio?]
“Yes. Do you know where my territory is? Just head east from where you are. “I have something to take care of for you.”
[all right. just a moment. I’ll be there soon.]
With Sepia’s answer, communication through the crow was cut off, and the crow, having completed its mission, flew into the sky again.
Accordingly, Dio opened his inventory and quickly began looking through the list to find things to take to Sephia.
‘Kaleina’s next move…maybe this is the key.’
