Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 44

Episode 44

: Walpurgis Night.

“It can be seen as a secret meeting of seven stars united for one purpose.”

Dio frowned at the incomprehensible words from Evelyn’s first words.

“so. “What are those seven stars?”

“We call the seven most powerful and greatest believers among those who worship the sun the Seven Stars. My teacher is one of them. “The same goes for Ludens.”

When Evelyn spoke as if she was proud, Dio felt puzzled at this point.

The Witch of Balance is one of the Five Stars, which can be seen as a representative boss-level monster in the Order Board, and is said to be the strongest witch.

‘Are the pentagram and seven stars separate entities? Or is it like the Witch of Balance, a pentagram but also called the Seven Stars?’

For Dio, who is hearing the name “Seven Stars” for the first time, this is enough to be suspicious.

However, if we take Ludens as an example, it may not necessarily be a pentagram.

“Traces of the now forgotten power of the sun are hidden all over the continent.”

Evelyn’s explanation continued, awakening Dio’s thoughts.

“The mission of the seven stars is to find that very thing! “Walpurgis Night is a gathering created to exchange information.”

“What are you trying to do by finding it?”

“I don’t know exactly. Master said that the world order would be corrected through the resurrection of the sun…”

Dio looked cautious at Evelyn’s words, which he was not sure about.

‘The system is leading me to the path of the sun. In the end, I may have to move with the same purpose as the seven stars.’

Dio decided that it was also important to collect information about Evelyn’s teacher and the ‘Seven Stars’ of the same level as Ludens.

Ludens’ true power is unknown, but the combat power of the ‘Witch of Balance’ is something Dio knows well.

‘As the title suggests, if there are seven beings at the same level as the Pentagram… they might be able to compete with the Luna Church.’

When looking at the current situation, one cannot help but think of the friction with the followers of the moon, which is in opposition to the sun.

However, we must also keep in mind that even if the Seven Stars are greater than expected, they do not reach the scale of the Luna Church.

If you are not pushed out of power, there is no need to hide without the player knowing.

After organizing his thoughts, Dio opened his mouth to Evelyn.

“Can all witches be considered believers in the sun?”

“Well, the matter about the sun is a top secret matter, so it seems like even witches keep it from each other.”

“Are you really good at telling me that you’re hiding it?”

“Of course, there is a child who was chosen. “Sun believers are under a contract not to reveal the existence of Walpurgis Night or the Seven Stars.”

Evelyn pointed to Sepia and answered as if it were obvious.

“If I hadn’t recognized Sepia, I wouldn’t have said anything.”

“Is that so?”

“Anyway, several witches, including me, are devoting ourselves to researching the power of the sun under the direction of our teacher.”

Evelyn grumbled and said.

‘So there was a lot of fire-related information in the research log.’

It is understandable that one’s eyes turn to the essence of flame.

It is not just a material that is difficult to obtain, but the essence of flame is also an item related to the forgotten swordsman.

Dio, who had finally understood, nodded, and Evelyn continued speaking.

“Still, even witches who don’t know the existence of the seven stars will be curious about Master’s research.”

“I guess so.”

Dio also understood the influence of the Witch of Balance, so he was convinced by Evelyn’s words.

Every time she moved in seclusion, great confusion came.

“What exactly do we study?”

“What can I do? A research paper on regaining the power of the sun. Why am I doing research on a forgotten power from thousands of years ago?”

Evelyn suddenly expressed dissatisfaction while answering Dio’s words.

“lets think. I’m only 26 years old. “Can you imagine the digging power of the seven stars that have lived for over thousands of years?”

“You tell me to distinguish between what I can do and what I cannot do, old miser! Did they provide generous research funding in the first place? “I don’t understand why a woman with so much money is being so salty!”

“The reason they have to take care of the house I don’t have and farm with orcs is all because of this damn research!”

Evelyn’s outburst continued, but Dio didn’t have the courage to stop her anger.

Seeing her… reminded me of my classmate who went to graduate school and lamented about his situation while drinking.

“But still. “Isn’t it because the master likes Evelyn so much that he trusts and relies on her?”

Sepia glanced at Dio, who seemed to be thinking nothing, and reluctantly comforted Evelyn.

Evelyn looked at Sepia with eyes that seemed moved.

“Do you know how to see people? I was taken in by my teacher when I was 8 years old. And the word that this person is the ‘Witch of Shadow’, the youngest person to be given this nickname.”

“Wow… that’s amazing.”

Evelyn’s nose rose to the point where Sepia awkwardly disagreed with her words and boasted about herself.

If things continued like this, he might have to stay up all night listening to her, so Dio quickly explained his business.

“Anyway, you’re doing research too, right? “Then can you bring out Sepia’s latent power?”

“Well…”

Dio pointed to Sepia, remembering why he came here.

Evelyn looked Sepia up and down for a moment, then motioned for her to give her hand.

In response, Dio nodded to Sepia, who was looking at him.

“Hmm. Hmm.”

Wow –

Evelyn’s shadow, holding Sepia’s hand, began to surround Sepia’s body as if scanning.

After simply checking, Evelyn removed her shadow and opened her mouth while looking at Dio and Sepia in turn.

“Do your abilities come into play when your emotions are strong?”

“There are times like that…”

“I think it almost appears when my life is in danger.”

Sepia added words on Dio’s behalf.

“every time. “I’m unconscious and I don’t know what to do.”

“Hmm. “It means the manifestation of unconsciousness.”

Evelyn, who was listening to Sepia, began muttering to herself.

“They say that the power that emerges from the unconscious is the power of ‘ego’… This may be a much greater power than what I heard…”

Evelyn stopped speaking and raised her head.

“Your goal is to enable us to consciously control this power, right? “I can’t help you with that.”

“I guess that’s true too.”

Dio didn’t have much expectations because there was no way Evelyn could do what the vampire Lord Ludens couldn’t.

Still, just finding out about Walpurgis Night and the existence of the seven stars was a good harvest.

Dio thought there was nothing more to find out from Evelyn and tried to get up, but an unexpected story came out of Evelyn’s mouth.

“But if it’s just to control losing consciousness and running amok… I think my powers might be helpful.”

“what?”

At Evelyn’s words, Dio’s half-rising posture from the chair stopped.

The reason for trying to unleash the power of sepia is simple.

Sepia’s unlocked power not only helps her survive, but also helps Dio.

Moreover, Sepia’s latent power is deeply related to Dio’s class and main quest, so her awakening is essential.

However, putting these reasons aside, there were other areas that D.O. was concerned about.

‘Because it’s dangerous.’

The risk of not knowing when and where an uncontrollable force may run amok is high.

The longer Sepia cannot handle this unknown force, the more we must always keep that risk in mind.

The words Evelyn spoke just now could be a solution to that danger, so it was natural for Dio to criticize her.

“how?”

In response to Dio’s urging, Evelyn got up from her seat and moved to a place where her shadow could be easily seen.

“I am using my shadow to awaken another consciousness.”

“What does that mean?”

Sepia looked puzzled by Evelyn’s explanation, and Dio didn’t understand either.

“What do you think the shadow is?”

“The black shape of an object caused by light not being able to pass through the object?”

“…? “What are you talking about?”

“no. continue.”

Dio, who saw Evelyn’s incomprehensible expression, realized that scientific knowledge was useless here and quickly shut his mouth.

“Many inner parts of humans exist in the shadows.”

Evelyn lightly flicked the magic wand that was about the length of a tree branch that she had prepared in advance.

Then, a figure rose from Evelyn’s shadow and a shadow human with a body identical to Evelyn was created.

“This is not just a shadow following me. “It’s like another consciousness that thinks and moves on its own without my commands.”

Dio and Sephia tried to understand Evelyn’s words as best as they could.

“Are you talking about another personality?”

“yes. “Are you smart too?”

Evelyn smiled as if she was satisfied with Sephia’s words.

Of course, Dio, who lived in modern times, did not understand it easily.

“I don’t know what the nature of the shadow consciousness is. However, it can be seen that it is safer to have self-consciousness that knows how to think than to act unconsciously, not knowing what kind of sudden action you will take.”

“I still don’t know?”

“There is no need to understand. “Actually, this method is only theoretical, and there is no guarantee that it will lead to good results.”

“In the end, this is just as dangerous.”

Evelyn said that there was no guarantee.

Dio sighed, saying yes.

“It could be gambling or it could be expedient. But don’t worry. “This is literally the next best solution in case you can’t reach the best.”

Despite Dio’s scolding, Evelyn continued to talk about what was so exciting.

“I still don’t know what exactly the power of the sun is. How could I know something that even my teacher doesn’t know? But I can help you train to handle that power.”

“Training?”

“okay. “Do you know how to use magic?”

“no.”

Sepia shook her head in response to Evelyn’s question.

It wasn’t that Dio didn’t think about teaching Sephia magic.

However, I soon realized that it was impossible and stopped just thinking about it.

Among Dio’s max level characters, there is also an archmage.

However, Dio knows nothing about how magic is used and the principles behind it.

‘Just using a skill uses magic, so how can I teach that to Sepia?’

When thinking about ‘skill’, magic is something that appears automatically, so the theory was completely unnecessary for players.

Another problem is the transfer letter.

During this time, D.O. worked on the order board and changed jobs through a job change book.

So, without a job change book, I couldn’t figure out how the residents of this world became wizards and used magic.

The problem was that there was currently no wizard class change book.

In any case, Evelyn looked sad when she heard Sepia say she had never learned magic.

“Hmm… I think that if we manage mana and learn the magic arts of our witches, we will be able to prepare for the future.”

Evelyn said that it would be better to deal with mana first before properly handling the unknown power of the sun.

Dio nodded as if her validity made sense.

In the first place, if Sephia, who has high magic-related stats, could use general magic, she would become much stronger than she is now.

“Can you teach me?”

Dio asked Evelyn, who could teach magic much better than him.

“well. After all, magic requires a talent for manipulating mana.”

“Are you saying Sephia has no talent? Even though I have the power of the sun?”

“The power of the sun and ordinary magic have completely different properties. Magic basically uses mana found in nature and the body…the power of the sun is closer to divine power than mana. Moreover, it is difficult to say that he possesses magical talent when he cannot control the power of the sun.”

“If you don’t have talent, you can’t use magic at all?”

Sepia interjected with regret at Evelyn’s negative words.

“I guess we can use it. Because mana exists for everyone. However, if you do not have talent, you may not be able to create even a small spark before you die of old age.”

Evelyn said, raising her index finger and creating a small flame.

Sepia clenched her fists as she looked at the brightly shining fire.

“Can you teach me? “You still don’t know if you have talent or not, right?”

Sepia’s will to learn anything to become stronger.

Evelyn seemed to think about this for a moment and then moved behind Sepia.

“Let’s do a simple test. Because I don’t think I’ve ever felt mana. “I’ll help you with that.”

Evelyn said, placing her hand on Sephia’s back.

At this, Sephia tensed up and straightened her back.

“Don’t be too nervous. Just feeling my mana flowing through you is a great achievement.”

“Ah yes.”

“Close your eyes and feel it.”

Sephia closed her eyes at Evelyn’s instructions.
