Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 97

Episode 97

“Reassemble the demonic beasts!”

Among the warlocks on the battlefield, one who appeared to be a commander shouted.

Then, the demonic beasts that were running wild based solely on instinct gathered together as if to protect the warlocks.

“Destroy the church’s defenses!”

The warlock learned from the previous battle that the knights and paladins did not come out of Ox’s defenses.

If the paladins and priests were determined to defend, it would have been difficult for the magic beasts alone to advance.

So the warlocks chose a method to neutralize the priests’ defenses.

Wow –

about 30 warlocks started chanting spells all at once, and their magic was fired towards the magic of the priests protecting Ox.

Pajijik –

The priests of the Luna Church, who could not have been unaware of the warlocks’ purpose, also gathered more divine power in response.

[Holy Protect], a higher level magic of [Holy Shield] that shows that it is even more robust, blocked the magic of the warlocks.

Pubbung!

“Hold on! “Those dirty heretics will never be a match for us!”

Even though a considerable amount of mana and sacred power were consumed in the battle between the demonic beasts, Telzia took the lead and encouraged the priests.

Telzia was more excited than ever, perhaps because Dio had said that he would report on his achievements if he dealt with the warlock.

Puzzling-Peeing!

Whatever the reason, Telzia’s words, which lead the morale, had an effect, blocking the heavy rain of magic from the warlock.

However, it could not be ignored that unlike priests who fought one battle after another, warlocks were very energetic.

Jeok-

However, when priests use magic, they use both mana and divine power, and the effect of holy magic is determined by the mixing ratio.

A considerable amount of sacred power was used in the battle with the demonic beasts, and the current sacred magic inevitably has a high mana ratio.

For this reason, the ‘anti-magic power’, which is a characteristic of sacred magic, is lacking.

It was a natural result that the shield made hastily by the mana-filled [Holy Protect] cracked.

“We are being pushed back!”

“What should I do? Do you maintain the wire? If it continues like this….”

The surrounding soldiers also stamped their feet, perhaps nervous about the situation in front of them.

The only way to block the warlock’s magic from damaging the priest’s shield is to kill them.

However, the Ox Allied forces failed to charge beyond the position determined by the commander’s order.

Moreover, even when the elite came back from dealing with the warlock, the numerous magical beasts protecting them were a burden.

“Everyone stand by! “Wait right there!”

After taking a short break, Dio shouted again at the top of his voice.

He then gestured to Evelyn, who was dealing with the demonic remnants that had invaded the village.

“clover! “It’s your turn!”

“Heed my call. “Evil Crow!”

At Dio’s call, Evelyn summoned her prepared familiar.

Grumble –

It was different from the ordinary crow I used before.

A crow, whose entire body was on fire, flew high into the sky, like a phoenix called a divine beast.

The flames emitted by Evil Crow were very noticeable in the night sky, and even the warlocks noticed this.

“What is that?”

“Should we shoot it down? “It’s not magic on our part.”

“The distance is too far. “For now, focus on their shields!”

The warlocks decided that there was no way to do anything about Evil Crow, who flew high into the sky.

Even if that flaming crow was a threat, it was because the distance from the warlocks was quite long.

Evil Crow did not appear to be rushing at all, but was rising higher and higher in the sky, so the warlocks thought it was just a ploy by the enemy.

The intention is to steal your attention and break your concentration.

But their judgment was wrong.

“Caw!”

Evil Crow, who had soared so high, began to flap his wings vigorously.

Chijijijijijik –

The warlocks haven’t noticed until now.

[Shadow Web].

The sky is now filled with spider web-shaped ‘threads’ made from mana installed by Evelyn.

The mana thread was like magic that acted as a fuse.

Like the fuse that ignites a fuse or detonator to explode a bomb, the mana thread can also activate ‘magic’ from a distance.

A mana thread that starts igniting when Evil Crow flaps his wings.

Chijijijijijijik –

Lunar eclipse in Luave.

The dark mana thread, like a shadow hidden in the darkness, finally began to do its job.

The flames attached to the mana thread moved quickly and spread everywhere.

A burning spider web that instantly filled the sky.

The warlocks noticed that the spider web extended to the location where they were located and hurriedly shouted.

“Stop it!”

“Sever the mana thread!”

“Damn I can’t see very well!”

The warlocks, who finally felt a sense of crisis, hurriedly tried to extinguish the flame of the mana thread, but it was already too late.

A huge magic circle that you never know when it was installed.

The magic circle was spread out in the area where the warlocks were, and there were more than one or two ignited mana threads.

Faaah!

The moment the spark of the mana thread that the warlocks missed touched the magic circle, Evelyn’s shadow magic was activated in a chain.

“What is this shadow?”

“Everyone run away!”

The ground the warlocks were standing on was covered in darkness.

The darkness began to engulf the warlocks like a swamp, and they struggled to escape somehow.

However, the more the warlocks struggled, the more the shadow swamp sucked them in.

[Shadow Sinkhole].

A warlock who took a position to break the magic of the priests.

They could not escape because the demonic beasts they had summoned to protect their bodies turned out to be poisonous.

Kwagwagwagwa!

The ground, which was initially sticky like a swamp, suddenly sank down, creating a huge puddle.

And the Ox troops cheered in unison at the sight of dozens of warlocks falling to their deaths.

“No way! “You knew we would settle down here?”

Most of the warlocks caught in Evelyn’s trap lost their lives, but there were a few who escaped.

Among them, the warlock who appeared to be the commander could not help but be astonished by this trap.

Activating a trap of this scale requires preparation in advance.

Powerful enough to take the lives of most warlocks.

If it had been used when the demon beast army attacked, it could have been stopped much more easily.

Nevertheless, the Ox Allied Forces did not use [Shadow Sinkhole] and bided their time.

It was as if they were waiting for the warlocks.

“How is that possible?”

The warlock had no way of knowing.

The order and place where they are sent into battle.

The fact that all of these are also Luave’s established ‘patterns’ and that there are people in Ox who already know this.

* * *

‘I killed more than half of them.’

The warlocks under Luave are deployed after the first wave for the sole purpose of ‘siege’.

Considering their range, Dio could easily predict where the warlocks would be positioned.

It doesn’t matter even if you don’t know the exact coordinates.

If it is a spell with a wide area of effect, like the [Shadow Sinkhole] used by Evelyn, it can cause great damage just by being nearby.

‘The first wave will end soon.’

After confirming that the trap set by Evelyn had successfully dealt with the warlocks, Dio quickly prepared for the next step.

“Everyone prepare for the next attack! “They will attack again!”

The surviving warlocks were of a higher level than Evelyn.

Although the power was amplified using a pre-installed magic circle, the level difference cannot be ignored.

It wouldn’t have mattered if all the warlocks had been taken out, but Dio checked some of the surviving warlocks.

Since they know that they will lead the remaining demonic beasts into an all-out war, they are trying to prepare again.

Dio’s ability to memorize patterns and look ahead to every move and respond to them.

It certainly looked like if things continued like this, Luave’s offensive could be blocked without difficulty.

But…

boom!

Evelyn’s familiar, which was floating in the sky to attack the warlocks, suddenly exploded.

“Tsk!”

Evelyn, who was mentally connected to Evil Crow, also staggered in shock.

“What?”

Dio was taken aback by this unexpected situation.

It was a situation that Dio had not expected for Evelyn’s familiar to be attacked as he roamed the skies.

“whoever?”

Fluttering –

Numerous flying objects appeared covering the sky, as if solving Dio’s doubts.

Crimson Gargoyle.

Dio was taken aback by the sight of a gargoyle whose entire body was crimson, rather than a typical stone statue.

‘What is that?’

It’s not that Dio doesn’t know about the Crimson Gargoyles.

The reason Dio was surprised now was that a crimson gargoyle appeared among Luave’s patterns.

Because this pattern is something Dio has not experienced.

The Crimson Gargoyles who shot down Evil Crow began to open their mouths one by one.

And then, an unusual magical energy gathered around their mouths.

Burbububbung!

The magic rays fired by the Crimson Gargoyle were fired at the knights and paladins who were maintaining the front line.

“Kaaak!”

“They are coming from above!”

Crimson Gargoyle is an artificial entity that can use magic on its own.

Evelyn’s Evil Crow must have also fallen victim to their black magic.

-Keeeeeeek!

Coming into the sky was something Dio had not expected.

Therefore, the Ox side’s defense was also unprepared for the magical beast that would attack from the air.

“Priests! Block the sky!”

“Gagging!”

Numerous Crimson Gargoyles rushed in screaming, and Ox’s troops who maintained the front line instantly entered into a melee.

bang! Pubbung!

The priests hurriedly spread their defensive walls towards the Crimson Gargoyles, but it was natural that the shield in front was weakened.

The black magicians and the demonic beasts on the ground couldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Kill them all!”

-Scream!

-Kaooo!

A fierce battle broke out once again on the front lines of Oaks.

The situation was worse than when the Chimera had once turned the battle line over.

The Crimson Gargoyle floating in the sky was not only a nuisance, but since it was unexpected for Dio, it added to the confusion even more.

‘Could it be that the Luave tactics I know are an improved version?’

I was so obsessed with the fact that Luave’s pattern was fixed.

If you think about it a little more, the Luave that Dio knows is the Luave of the future.

No matter how quickly you encounter Luave, considering the time it takes for players to reach high levels, it is too early.

‘There aren’t that many gargoyles. If Ox’s troops had been slightly larger, the effect of the aerial attack would have been difficult to see.’

Dio decided that the current pattern was a deteriorated version of the Luave pattern he knew.

In other words, it was an unexpected situation, but fortunately it was not difficult to attack.

“Roberto! Evelyn! Stop them!”

At Dio’s shout, Evelyn put on her shoes and created a shadow platform in the air.

Then, Roberto used the scaffolding to grab the gargoyle floating in the sky and climb on it.

“Ha!”

Kwasik –

Roberto cracked the gargoyle’s head and flew towards another gargoyle, breaking its wing.

Afterwards, as Roberto continued to kill the gargoyles and attract the attention of the demon beasts, the battle line regained stability.

“We will take care of the gargoyles! Restore the lines!”

Dio shouted as he picked up the spear that soldier Bertio had dropped and threw it at the Crimson Gargoyle.

Sigh!

Crrrrr –

The Crimson Gargoyle’s body collapsed after being hit by Dio’s spear.

‘As expected, one javelin shot is enough. If you have enough spears, it won’t take long.’

Roberto’s performance alone tied up nearly half of the Crimson Gargoyles.

If Dio joins, the priests will be able to focus on the front again.

Whirring –

bub bub buk!

Dio also used the shadow platform created by Evelyn to cut down dozens of Crimson Gargoyles.

The moment when he was trying to boost the morale of Ox’s troops who were fighting hard next to him.

I caught one of the Bertio knights looking restless and unable to concentrate on the beast in front of him.

‘what? The movements of Bertio’s knights….’

Thanks to Roberto’s attention, the knights were sure to have some leeway.

However, the knights showed no composure, and the restrained ranks they had seen for the first time were unstable.

Dio, who felt strange about this, disposed of another Crimson Gargoyle and hurriedly looked around.

The Holy Knights and Priests of the Luna Church are fighting hard against demonic beasts under the command of Conrad and Telzia.

But it was not the Bertio knights and soldiers.

Why?

In terms of command ability alone, Bertio’s senior knight Calco would be the best among them…

“Lord Calco?”

Dio then realized that Calco was no longer visible.

Could it be that he was harmed by these guys?

No, with Calco’s skills, there’s no way he could be defeated by the demonic beasts in front of him right now unless he’s a chimera.

Dio, who was quickly looking for Calco, discovered something else strange.

Not only Calco but also Ates is not visible.

“…Running away in this situation? A knight?”

Dio was so dumbfounded that he let out a laugh.
