Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 131

Episode 131:

People flock to Malobon thanks to the duel between the Bertio brothers.

Many of them were people who could not enter the stadium and were just waiting for the results.

In particular, the large number of people gathered outside Yeongju Castle was so dense that it could be called a festival.

One person rushing somewhere, passing the people gathered like that.

“Aaaah!”

“what? you!”

He continued running without a word of apology to the people he bumped into, passing through the crowded square and running towards the alley.

“Huh oh oh oh oh!”

Even though his breathing became heavy, he did not stop running.

I had to tell the story of what happened in Yeongju as soon as possible.

‘It’s a big deal. Relics and holy swords. And the resurrection of the Demon King? If that is true…’

His identity was an informant dispatched to Malobon by the Luna Church.

A speech by Dio, who claims to believe in the sun, not the moon.

After listening to the end of what he said, the informant’s mind became confused.

‘How much is the truth? No, you shouldn’t doubt the religious order.’

The informant was someone who was only loyal to Luna.

In particular, since he was willing to do anything for Saint Kaleina, there was no such thing as honor for him.

Because of this, the impact of the quest Dio performed was also lost.

Nevertheless, Dio’s words were persuasive enough to shake the hearts of the blindly loyal informants.

The informant almost shouted Dio’s name and Solari’s name along with countless other people present, but was barely able to come to his senses and escape.

‘It’s not Luna’s holy sword? no. Don’t be swayed. Let’s tell this to the saint as soon as possible…huh!?’

The moment the informant caught his breath and tried to run forward again, he lost his breath due to the pain he felt in his leg.

thud!

The informant, who fell forward, barely endured the burning pain and looked up.

“Who are you?”

The thugs appear between the tall buildings as if they were waiting for an informant to pass by in this alley.

This is Malobon, the center of Bertio’s territory.

Are you a scoundrel in these streets, managed by the Duke of Bertio, who is considered the strongest in the East?

These questions were immediately resolved.

This was because the informant recognized one of the thugs who attacked him.

“You all…!”

“If you knew me, the story would be quick.”

In response to the informant’s reaction, one of the thugs who jumped from the top of the building approached the fallen informant.

“The emperor’s dogs dare attack me!?”

The informant, who was in a high position in the Luna Church, let out an angry cry.

Because of his position, he recognized the scoundrel right away.

The true identity of the scoundrels who now appear before our eyes are the subordinates of Swordmaster Gunther.

“Indeed…it looks like our information has also been leaked.”

Like the Luna Church’s informants, the Empire’s informants who work in secret are the so-called ‘Dragon’s Shadow’.

They were Gunther’s direct subordinates and were not surprised that the church’s informant recognized them.

Although our affiliations are different, our mission to obtain each other’s information is the same.

“Why are you stopping me? “This is not something the Empire should be involved in!”

“No, this is not something the church should intervene in.”

“what?”

At the words of the church informant, the ‘Dragon’s Shadow’ member shook his head and corrected his words.

“This is a matter for the East and the Empire. “Don’t you know that Bertio is clearly a duke belonging to the Empire?”

“Don’t be ridiculous! They said the devil would be resurrected! Who do you think can eradicate evil? Bertio? Empire? “The only thing that can stop them is our church!”

At the informant’s shout, the Dragon’s Shadow members looked at each other and smiled.

“Well…I guess there is another church other than Luna that can stop them?”

“Are you really saying that you believe there is a sun god? “You guys are making mistakes… gag!”

Sigh –

the imperial informant immediately slit the cult informant’s throat as if it was no longer worth talking to, and his dying words rang out.

“Hurry. “The time that Gunther gave us is running out.”

“The main gate will be guarded by Bertio knights. “We look for other sources of information.”

One of the Imperial informants dragged out the body of the Church informant, and the other two hurried to the next location.

Solari’s status began in the Territory of Bertio.

It was sure to reach the ears of the Luna Church someday, but Gunther took a hand in delaying it.

Delaying the delivery of information is like stealing the other person’s time.

The conflict between the religious denomination and the East may seem trivial.

No one knew that this would later become the butterfly effect and change the landscape of the continent.

Knock. Knock.

Dio lightly knocked on Dalimus’ door to his private office.

“Please come in.”

Upon hearing Dalimus’ voice, Dio immediately opened the door and saw Dalimus looking at the window.

Dalimus knew that the person who visited him was Dio.

He wasn’t paying any attention to Dio, but was still looking at the window.

Dalimus’ face reflected in the window looked very gaunt.

He must have been sitting in his seat for a long time, lost in thought, and a cold teacup can be seen on the table in front of him.

He must have been distraught because Lennon had become a demon.

Dio quietly sat across from Dalimus so as not to disturb him.

Dalimus did not open his mouth, and Dio also took a moment of silence for him.

“Are you okay?”

Dio broke the long silence and spoke first.

“…what can I do? It’s my fault for having an ugly son. But thanks to you, my life was saved. And my life.”

Dalimus looked at Dio as if trying to regain his strength and forced his sagging shoulders to straighten.

Dio’s prophecy that Lennon will one day murder Dalimus and bring down Bertio.

Dalimus also assimilated Dio’s speech and could not help but believe in the oracle of Solari that he delivered.

That’s why I expressed my gratitude to Dio.

For stopping Lennon. For protecting Bertio.

“If you hadn’t brought back Lennon, I would have had to kill my own son.”

“….”

Dalimus’ words that children can be punished even if it is for the sake of the family’s greater cause.

Dio was just silent at his words.

This is because we do not know what words to comfort the misfortune that occurs among family members.

Dalimus, who noticed this, waved his hand as if to say not to worry, and then began the next story.

“The last things you said…are they all true?”

“You mean about Acrich?”

The reason Dalimus called Dio was because of his future plans for Acrich.

Acrich was a Dalimus that I had never heard of before.

If you’re a close associate of the Demon King, you’re definitely a dangerous person.

Dalimus wanted to know more about the enemy’s existence.

“Yes, it’s all true. “The demonic energy emitted by the Demon King, who is about to be resurrected, is so powerful that it affects every corner of the continent.”

“I know that this phenomenon exists not only in the East, but throughout the continent. “It was all a sign against the Demon King…”

Dalimus reflected on Dio’s words with a serious expression.

No matter how powerful Bertio was, it was too much for him to handle the problems happening in the East on his own.

“Can’t we prevent the Demon King from being resurrected?”

“With the knowledge I have, it is impossible to prevent the Demon King’s resurrection in advance.”

“Impossible? Are you saying we should just sit back and watch until it wakes up?”

Dalimus expressed his dissatisfaction at Dio’s words.

But I can’t help it.

The resurrection of the Demon King is a planned scenario.

It was like a huge disaster that would inevitably come to the continent someday.

“It’s not just about watching. So, aren’t you trying to cut off the devil’s hands and feet?”

“Right. To weaken the forces of evil gathered around the devil. okay. “These are the things we must do in the future.”

Dalimus nodded as if he understood what Dio said.

“Don’t worry about the East. As you said, I will be prepared to move at any time. “Get ready to defeat the Deathcruger who made my son like that.”

* * *

After talking with Dalimus, Dio headed to his room, lost in deep thought.

‘Dalimus. Even if you act calm on the outside, you seem to be very heartbroken.’

Dio remembered the head’s face, which had been frozen throughout the conversation.

And at the end, he spewed out such strong hatred for Deathcruger that Dio, who felt his anger right under his nose, got goosebumps for a moment.

‘Lennon Bertio. It’s not a character I have any special feelings for, but not to Dalimus.’

Lennon survived, but he did not survive.

Now that everyone knows that he coveted the power of demons, it is difficult for him to live comfortably as a noble or as a human being.

In order to restore the family’s honor that was lost because of Lennon, Dalimus would have to send him into exile… or, at worst, be expelled from the family.

Because of this, Dalimus must also have complicated feelings.

‘Lennon Bertio. ‘Not a character I care about anymore, but not Dalimus.’

If it were a game, Dio wouldn’t have thought much about it.

Lennon Bertio is just a supporting character to the player.

Or experience points.

But this is not the current Dio.

Since we have to build a force to oppose the Luna Church and the Demon King, we cannot help but take into account the mental state of other people.

Especially when it comes to Dalimus, who can be seen as Dio’s biggest helper.

But I can’t help it.

Now Dio has no choice but to trust Dalimus, who can be seen as an iron man.

Dio knows his situation well.

Sepia Eveline Roberto.

I’m busy just taking care of the people at the party right now.

No matter how great a helper he is, it is an area that Dio cannot physically handle to sympathize with each and every one of them.

‘Because I’m just human.’

It’s been a long time since I realized that this was not a game, but reality.

No matter how much help you get from the system, it cannot be said that your mental power is superior to other people.

Nevertheless, the reason Dio’s spirit did not break down is because of his suspicious nature and caution.

You can get swayed by your emotions at any time and go astray.

Always be aware of this and think about it.

And when you think it’s perfect, think again.

That is the driving force behind Dio developing seven characters to max level and the reason he is alive today.

‘And…’

Suddenly, he remembered what Solari had said to him.

What she said was that she just wanted happiness.

Dio was internally comforted by her words.

So many people I meet now.

Even Sepia, who is considered his closest companion, does not know that he is from another world.

A strange world where no one knows my truth.

In that world, the only person who recognized me was Solari.

‘Survive and return. As Solari wishes.’

Have you become a believer in the sun without even realizing it?

Or is this also due to the characteristics related to the job?

Anyway, Dio regained his strength by controlling his mixed feelings about Dalimus and Lennon.

Just like your normal self.
