Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 123
Episode 123:
The darkness of the eastern region lurks knowingly or unknowingly.
It refers to a scenario in the eastern region that is inevitably intertwined with the demon lord who will be resurrected.
And an essential item to ‘purify’ one of those scenarios.
That was the water drop-shaped gem that Dio was currently holding.
How long was it buried?
Maybe it was there before the knights’ dormitory was built.

[Tears of Moonlight]
Grade: Myth

“Good.”
Dio smiled as if satisfied with the accurate explanation of the system.
And as he expected, Tiring! And a hidden quest appeared before his eyes.
—————
[Quest: Protect the honor of the famous swordsman]
A dark shadow is falling over the historic Duke of Bertio.
Use the Tears of Moonlight to uncover the truth and protect your honor.
Reward: Significantly increases the friendliness of those who value honor.
—————
After confirming that Dio had successfully received the quest, he closed the system window.
The desired goal has been achieved, so now all we have to do is go back.
This is a stadium where a duel is in progress.
* * *
“Nonsense!”
“It is indeed as good as rumored!”
“You’re no match for me, right?”
The sound of cheers from the crowd filling the amphitheater.
Dalimus frowned at this, and Ates next to him didn’t look good either.
Only Gunther looked like he was expecting something more interesting, but Delcid was just yawning as if he was bored.
The amphitheater they are watching.
In it, a fallen Roberto wearing jet-black armor was seen, and Lennon was drunk in victory with both arms raised to the crowd.
‘I was worried for no reason.’
Lennon, who was looking relaxed at the nobles cheering enthusiastically, thought.
In his confrontation with Spade, a cocky mercenary subordinate, Lennon recalled the duel he had just won in which he easily won.
A jet-black weapon that looks quite good.
However, after playing a few moves against Spades, Lennon could see that his skills were no match for him.
A move that is obvious to anyone.
Spade’s movements were very skilled and fast, as was rumored to be a mercenary who was active in Ox.
So much so that even Bertio’s senior knights couldn’t guarantee it.
However, the opponent is Lennon Bertio.
The spade’s movements were certainly threatening, but that was all.
Despite wearing a powerful-looking gauntlet, Spade’s attack was never able to penetrate Lennon’s defense.
If it weren’t for the equipment Spade was wearing, the game would have gone much faster than it is now.
“You attacked me with only mediocre skills?”
It was so similar that I couldn’t even laugh.
“It’s obvious what the mercenaries think. I don’t even know the topic. “I see how you’ve been deceiving everyone with your remaining tricks… but it’s beyond me.”
Lennon walked up to the fallen Roberto.
“It’s a pity that your leader doesn’t show up. “He would have been a worthless guy like you anyway.”
Lennon thought of Diamond, but did not think much about her any more.
Anyway, what is important is this duel.
It doesn’t change the fact that he won this duel.
However, there is still one thing left to do to complete this task perfectly.
Chuck-
Lennon took off the helmet Roberto was wearing with his sword and pointed it at Roberto’s neck.
‘Even the Ox mercenary who was rumored to have captured Luave… everyone saw that he was no match for me in the end.’
Dalimus nailed it, saying that this matter was not related to the selection of the family’s successor.
But that’s just Dalimus’s opinion.
Would the nobles who watched this entire scene think the same way as Dalimus?
It was precisely this stage that Lennon was aiming for.
A stage to prove your skills in front of a large audience.
What kind of ending will those who stand against and announce that they are the only and rightful successors face?
“Listen!”
Lennon shouted, pointing his sword at Roberto’s neck, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
“The winner of this honorable duel is I, Lennon Bertio, and I will exercise the winner’s rights!”
The crowd whispered about exercising the winner’s right, but Lennon paid no attention and continued talking.
“Ates, the applicant for the proxy duel, cannot be killed because he is of lion blood, so by killing him, I will forgive all of his unsavory actions against me.”
The nobles agreed to Lennon’s words that they would treat Ates, the target of the duel, favorably by killing the deputy knight.
It is very common for ordinary nobles to lose the proxy knight’s head when they lose in a proxy duel.
Ates, who would forgive a commoner just by sacrificing his head, seemed to others to be very considerate.
And this is what Ates intended.
With this, the few forces that support Ates will also turn their backs.
“Blame your ugly captain.”
Lennon had ample reason to kill Roberto.
Otherwise, Dalimus wouldn’t have just watched this.
The moment Lennon raised his sword high in the sky and aimed it at Roberto’s neck.
“for a moment!”
The audience, who had been watching Lennon’s punishment with bated breath, looked towards the place where the voice rang out.
And one man in their eyes.
The dark gray coat he was wearing was an unfamiliar outfit on the continent, but it didn’t feel out of place at all.
It was the appearance of Dio, who could be said to be the real protagonist of Ox.
* * *
“Who is he?”
“Is it okay to invade during a duel?”
“Get that intruder out now!”
“No, wait a minute. “I think the author is also one of the mercenaries active in Ox?”
Dio approached Lennon, ignoring the numerous eyes that were focused on him.
Lennon, who was about to cut off Roberto’s head, hesitated, perhaps because of Dio’s shouting.
I never thought that Dio would break in during the duel.
If he continued the execution while ignoring Dio’s request, it would not fit the image of a benevolent monarch that he had portrayed so far.
This is also one of the dishonorable acts.
“What is this?”
It was not Lennon who stopped Dio from approaching the fallen Roberto.
These were the words spoken by Dalimus, who was watching all this from the head table.
Despite his not-so-loud voice, the force that Dalimus gave off was enormous.
Kugu Gung –
Those who have reached the level of sword masters can pressure their opponents with just the momentum they generate.
A state where physical force can be applied using auras that are invisible to the ordinary eye.
They were the Sword Masters, and soon the huge aura emitted by Dalimus spread out in all directions.
“Wow!”
“Gagging-”
Some of the nobles who were close to Dalimus were unable to withstand the aura he emitted and fainted.
The other warriors from outside did not lose their minds, but they trembled before the power of the King of the East, whom they had only heard of through rumors.
“That guy must be very angry.”
Unlike the others, Gunther, whose expression did not change at all, muttered to himself.
Unlike Gunther, who was carefree, Delcid next to him was panting as if he had difficulty withstanding Dalimus’s momentum.
Delceed, who soon regained his composure, pointed at Dio, who suddenly broke in and surprised everyone.
“Who on earth is the author?”
What surprised Delcid was that the author arbitrarily intervened in a game that was over without the head of the family’s permission, but there was something else even more surprising than that.
‘I can’t breathe just by passing by, but what about the author?’
A mercenary who takes the brunt of the energy emitted by Dalimus and still stands unharmed.
Are you saying that the author, who appears to be around the same age as you, is close to becoming a sword master?
Delcid seemed to vaguely understand why his father was paying attention to that person.
At that unbelievable reality, Delcid just looked at Dio with a blank expression, and Gunther just smiled wordlessly in response to Delcid’s question.
* * *
Dio gathered his numb body and bowed his head politely towards Dalimus.
When I first met him, I couldn’t face him properly, but now it’s different.
Although his level was 300, Dio was able to show off his skills at level 350 thanks to his stats thanks to Solari’s blessing.
And Dio, armed with items from the Malobon warehouse, was much stronger than when he was in Ox.
‘Roberto worked hard for me.’
Dio had already finished work and arrived at the stadium, but he did not come out and was waiting for the right moment.
The right timing refers to a dramatic situation.
I was conscious of the eyes of the audience who were disappointed by the match that ended poorly.
This is because they expect something to happen in the future and will watch their intrusion.
But the wall called Dalimus still remains.
He is in a position to criticize Dio for his unruly behavior in this sacred duel.
“I apologize for arbitrarily intruding into the sacred duel. But the duel is over and I see no reason to take your life.”
“That’s not up to you to decide.”
Dalimus spoke without losing his energy at Dio’s words.
“Actually, I was originally going to participate in this duel as a substitute knight, but due to the injury I received in Ox, my colleague Spade stepped in instead.”
Dio calmly began to persuade all the audience, including Dalimus, with the story he had already planned.
The persuasion begins with helping Bertio up.
“My honor and pride are crying out for my colleague to die because of me, so I came forward like this. “Please consider us with great generosity.”
Honor and pride emphasized by D.O.
This was a word that could not be ignored by anyone who walked the path of a knight, even if he was not Bertio, a master of swordsmanship.
“He’s a guy who knows a little about honor.”
“I see he’s the leader of the mercenary group that was active in Ox?”
“Indeed… if the rumors are true, it makes sense to withstand the duke’s aura. “He is a coveted talent.”
As Dio performed a harmonious performance while supporting Roberto, the audience let out a small exclamation of admiration.
The opponent is Lennon of the Bertio family.
If he were a normal mercenary, he wouldn’t have dared to stand in front of him, but the author wasn’t like that.
The audience, who realized that he was risking his life for his comrades, was unable to criticize Dio for entering the duel.
“Hmm…”
Dalimus, who noticed this atmosphere, also gained momentum.
Dio snapped his fingers at Dalimus’ action, tacitly granting forgiveness.
At that signal, Evelyn, who had been waiting, came running in a huff.
“Okay, you guys go in now.”
“…I hope you don’t do things like this in the future.”
Dio whispered as he handed Roberto over to Evelyn, and Roberto grumbled.
“why? “I’m having fun.”
“I’m going to die. “It’s hard to pretend to be weak on purpose.”
At Eveline’s ridicule, Roberto spoke to her as if he were lamenting.
As can be seen from their conversation, it was clear that Roberto’s injury had already recovered.
This was evident from the fact that the blood on the corner of Roberto’s mouth had long since left a trace.
“okay. “You had a lot of trouble.”
Dio also suppressed his laughter and comforted Roberto.
Lennon’s skills are excellent, but that doesn’t mean Dio’s group can be defeated by him so easily.
All of this was part of a plan implemented by Dio.
‘I need to check.’
Dio thought as he glanced at Lennon, who was glaring at him.
If the goal was simply to fight Lennon and win, it didn’t matter which member of the group stepped forward.
If the group is armed with warehouse items, they will be able to easily defeat Lennon.
However, Dio had to confirm one fact that was more important than victory.
In order to do that, he needed to confront Lennon.
“Lennon. “Aren’t you sad that this is the end?”
“what?”
Dio left Evelyn and Roberto behind as they left the stadium and spoke politely to Lennon.
“It looks like you haven’t warmed up properly yet…how do you feel? “This is the stage where I should have been on the stage originally.”
Lennon was angry at Dio’s words, but he tried to keep his composure, perhaps because he was aware of the crowd.
Lennon’s fist, which would have cut off Dio’s head in one fell swoop if no one was watching, trembled gently.
“A duel with me. Would you like to proceed again?”
Either way, Dio laughed at Lennon and said,
“I have already won the duel. Are you now asking me to overturn this sacred duel?”
“It can’t be. Lennon won the duel. “I just thought Lennon would be curious about my skills.”
After hearing Lennon’s words, Dio looked around the audience and said,
This wasn’t just a comment to Lennon.
Everyone who is watching this place will be curious about Dio’s own skills.
The situation was such that the crowd that Lennon had gathered became poisonous.
Dio said a decisive word to the hesitant Lennon.
“Are you…afraid of losing?”
