Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 132
Episode 132
After finishing the interview with Dalimus, Dio headed to Sephia’s room before returning to his own room.
There was a need to check her condition as she must have used a lot of divine power in the stadium.
When Dio entered the room, he could see Sepia looking like she was waiting for him.
“great job.”
Dio, who checked Sephia, who didn’t seem to have any problems, gave an appropriate greeting.
“It was quite unreasonable, wasn’t it?”
“All I’ve done is show my divine power.”
Sepia shrugged as if it was no big deal, but Dio knew that she was tired inside.
The ‘Rodendron’s Ring’ obtained from the family’s secret warehouse has the option to increase the user’s intelligence by 15%.
In the world of Order Board, sacred power is used by mixing not only divine power but also mana, so its power is proportional to intelligence level.
Because of this, Sepia became much stronger than her original strength and was able to easily overpower Lennon.
Well, if that was all Sepia had done, there was no way she would have been this tired, but the final performance used up a lot of Sepia’s divine power.
Because if you can truly feel the power of the sun, it is better than deceiving people with just words.
The visual effect was also significant.
Thanks to this, Sepia looked very tired, perhaps because she overdid it.
Dio told Sephia to rest in peace and was about to leave the room, but he heard Sephia’s voice calling him to stop.
“But what are you going to do now?”
“What?”
“What is it? “If we reveal our identity, the Luna Church will turn on the lights and come after us.”
Dio grinned at Sephia’s worried expression, who had not heard of his future plans.
“don’t worry. Because the church can’t come to get us.”
* * *
Evelyn and Roberto, who responded to Dio’s call to discuss future plans, seemed quite comfortable despite the incident.
“We don’t have to hide our identities anymore?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter here because Bertio will protect you, but what about other places?”
After Dio revealed the identities of the party members, there was no longer a need to maintain the perception-impairing magic.
As a result, they feel refreshed as they no longer need to use pseudonyms and do not have to worry about disguising their unclear identities.
However, as Roberto said, you never know what they might look like from the outside, so you had to be on guard at all times.
“This issue would also depend on how big our power grows.”
Dio stood in front of everyone to inform them of his future plans regarding this incident.
“What do you think is the probability that there will be an informant from the Luna Church among the spectators who came to see this duel?”
“Even if the inspector was caught in Bertio, he would have heard about Ox from others. “Unless they’re idiots…”
“That’s right. I have to say that it definitely exists. Even if Dalimus maintains security, the Luna Church will find out soon.”
Evelyn’s eyes, which had been quietly listening to Dio’s explanation, began to tremble uneasily.
“Then what? “If the church sends heresy inquisitors…”
Evelyn remembers Galletto whom she encountered in Estellum.
It was natural for her to be worried.
Although Bertio’s knights are strong, I don’t think they can block five swords.
Dio also thinks the same way.
but.
“They won’t easily send troops to catch us.”
“Why? “For the Luna Church, our existence must be a thorn in their eyes, right?”
“They won’t care that Lennon was a Man and that we are heretics.”
“yes?”
The party members, including Sephia, looked confused at Dio’s words.
These are the people who have been watching the believers rushing towards heretics without thinking.
I could not understand why they were saying that they were not interested in heretics and demon infestations.
Accordingly, Dio began listing the current situation the Luna Church found itself in after this incident that occurred with Lennon.
“The most important part of the game we have now is the existence of the Holy Sword.”
The holy sword ‘Miracle’ that Dio showed in front of everyone is definitely the real thing.
And the church’s informants will find out about this, and the story about this will throw the Luna Church into chaos.
“In fact, the Holy Sword is just dismissed as a legend, and very few people know whether it actually exists.”
The group nodded at Dio’s words.
They had heard that he had personally given the holy sword to Solari, but it was hard to believe it until they actually saw it.
“It doesn’t matter whether this holy sword is Luna’s or Solari’s. However, it is important to note that the holy sword that is only known as a legend or has disappeared exists and that the high-ranking priests of the Luna Church know about it.”
“So they’re hiding the truth!”
Sephia, who had accurately pinpointed the essence of what Dio was saying, shouted as if she had realized something.
“okay. Why did you hide the holy sword? And why is that holy sword in the hands of someone called a heretic?”
Dio spoke on behalf of the questions raised by believers who had not heard the truth.
Most Luna Church believers were unaware of the existence of the Holy Sword.
They will distrust the saints and prelates who hid this fact.
Of course, those who have a very high level of faith in Saints Kaleina and Luna will still be loyal to the church.
However, since they do not represent the entire Luna Church, it is safe to say that internal divisions will inevitably occur.
“We will conduct a full internal audit. “Whether it’s real or formal.”
“The existence of the Holy Sword is what has tied their feet. “This will definitely buy me some time.”
The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility.
Even if the Luna Church quickly resolves internal divisions, they will have to waste time making excuses or persuading their followers.
If they move without justification, the tower they have built for a thousand years will slowly collapse.
And that is what the saint…no, Luna, fears the most.
‘If Luna was jealous of Solari’s faith… she had no choice but to look at the believers’ opinions. There will probably be a large-scale expulsion of the church for corruption.’
Dio knows that there are people within the Luna Church who have connections to warlocks.
There is also a quest to figure out their plot on the Order Board.
They are people who use faith to pursue personal gain.
According to what Dio remembers, the number of them is quite large and there are some high-ranking priests involved, so the Luna Church will not be able to solve this easily.
Because the current Luna Church will not receive help from ‘players’.
“But what if they say Dio-sama’s holy sword can’t be real, no matter how many people have seen it? What if we send troops to check its authenticity?”
Sepia’s point is valid.
A few people, including Kaleina, know that there is only one holy sword, Miracle, and that it is hidden deep underground in the Holy Kingdom.
If we confirm that it does not disappear, we have no choice but to be convinced that the holy sword Dio showed us is a fake.
In that case, the best thing they can do now is to clearly determine the authenticity of the Holy Sword and tell people that Dio’s words are lies.
However, if troops were dispatched to check if the Holy Sword was real, Dio could easily respond.
“My holy sword is real. If you suspect it’s fake and send troops, just show it and that’s it. Then the Luna Church will fall into even more confusion.”
Once again, Miracle is genuine.
If this is fake, there is no need for D.O. to tell lies that could be easily discovered.
However, because it is real, the Luna Church will be in trouble.
Because once they see it with their own eyes, there is no turning back.
Since Dio’s words calling her a heretic are true, Kaleina will try to avoid meeting Dio at least partially.
From the Luna Church’s perspective, it is a diatribe.
“Still, if the saint moves a small number of troops to check…”
It will definitely be five swords.
Dio thought that the Luna Church would pay attention to what was happening internally, but he could not guarantee it.
Because you can’t be sure of anything.
The idea that Kaleina won’t touch him easily is only Dio’s speculation.
So this case must also be assumed.
First of all, if there is no movement of the Luna Church as Dio thinks, Dio can proceed with one of the following plans with his companions.
The first is to set out to hunt Acrich immediately after receiving confirmation of Bertio’s support.
Second, together with his companions, he solves numerous incidents that he sees as signs of the resurrection of the Demon King of the East.
In other words, it means raising the level.
However, if the Luna Church tries to copy the contact through the five swords, as everyone including Dio is worried about…
“Eveline.”
“huh?”
“When is the next Walpurgis Night?”
Evelyn seemed to think about Dio’s question for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“I don’t know either. However, if you think about the cycle when Master is away… I guess I will get a call from you within 15 days?”
‘It’s been 15 days…even this is not certain.’
Considering the five swords that Dio remembered, it seemed unlikely that they would back down even if they saw Miracle and confirmed it.
Rather, they are the ones who capture Dio and make him spit out the truth.
Or just kill them mercilessly.
‘Five swords. As strong as they are, they cannot be moved easily.’
They are not called the best forces of the Luna Church for nothing.
Aside from the fact that it is a position that does not move easily, they have a lot of work to do.
Even if it is not a matter of the eastern part, there are many things to worry about.
Nevertheless, if they were to move at the saint’s command, it would be a huge headache for Dio.
Moreover, there is more to worry about than simply being a powerful enemy.
Because the individual personalities of the five swords are so eccentric, their mere presence is a variable in itself for Dio.
I also don’t know how the friendship received as a reward for completing this hidden quest applies to them.
When discussing honor, the five swords cannot be left out.
Because they are the ones who have risen to the top while protecting their own honor.
If Dio had joined hands with the Luna Church and had a friendly relationship, they would certainly view Dio favorably.
D.O. cannot know how they will react in a situation where there is a clear conflict.
If you think about these variables, you cannot avoid using the five swords without worrying about them.
Even if the saintess doesn’t send the five swords now, we are destined to meet them someday…
There are people around Dio called the Seven Stars who have the power to stand against the five swords.
However, they are not people that Dio can manipulate as he pleases like his limbs.
In a situation where we don’t know where the seven stars, including Calliope, are or what they are doing, we can’t include them in our battle force.
‘I wish I could ask for help during Walpurgis Night…’
It was right to exclude uncertain parts from the future situation.
It would be much safer that way.
What Dio is thinking about now is a plan to prepare for the worst-case scenario where five swords are coming.
If you can’t get the help of the seven stars…
Dio slowly opened his mouth to the people who were waiting for him to speak, as if something had occurred to him.
