Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 143
Episode 143:
A large-scale allied force of thousands gathered together with great difficulty.
You would have expected that there would be many people who would be opposed to the bold strategy of defeating the enemy even though they are halfway to their destination.
Freen’s decision was accepted without much pros or cons.
But people didn’t know.
The fact that all of this was what Dio expected…or rather, created the situation itself.
There is no way Dio doesn’t know that Deathcruger operates plague undead.
Nevertheless, no countermeasures were prepared for this.
This is because Dio had planned to send the Union soldiers back from the beginning.
‘Deskruger doesn’t use plague from the beginning. It’s not effective. The proof is that they used the tactic of an army of demonic beasts.’
The decisive reason for the current infection damage is the regional characteristics of ‘Magyeong’.
The miasma of the demonic spirit thickens from exactly half way.
If plague is added, the effect is doubled.
Of course, Descruger’s decision progressed faster than expected, but it didn’t matter.
As mentioned earlier, the Allied Forces fulfilled their responsibilities from the beginning and completed their mission.
‘Besides, the leadership formed now will not reject my proposal.’
Dio immediately expected that the leadership would accept this unreasonable proposal without any objection.
Half of the Allied Forces are Imperial soldiers mobilized by Prion, and there is more than enough reason to preserve their losses.
And the mercenary king Agram was hired by Dio.
If the number decreases, you will have calculated that much more will fall on you.
That’s probably why he actively approved it.
Lastly, five swords.
Although they were suspicious of Dio leading, they had no complaints about this order.
‘The fewer eyes you see, the easier it is to complete your mission as a saint.’
Dio accepted it as an established fact that the mission given by the saint to the five swords was aimed at his head.
Otherwise, three people and five swords wouldn’t be used to defeat Acrich.
At least inconspicuously, they mobilized all their might to catch an unknown enemy for whom proper information has not yet been revealed.
Of course, since the prince was with him, he would not reveal his true colors openly, but if he successfully dealt with Acrich, he would definitely take action.
‘Still, I don’t know. ‘I need to stay alert because I might move before I reach my destination.’
Dio composed himself as he watched the army trying to escape the demonic realm.
The remaining people were simply dressed except for their weapons and equipment, because most of them were skilled people who knew how to use subspace.
Of course, among Deathruger’s magic, there is a skill that seals subspace from being used.
If that happens, a fatal problem may arise in the current situation where most of the supplies are stored in subspace, but it is not something to worry about now.
The most important thing to Dio is the five swords.
‘Galetto Elaine. These two are very interested in me. ‘I must always be with the prince.’
Dio thought about the people he needed to pay the most attention to.
And Dio was always watching Aldur as well.
than others whose future actions can be easily predicted.
Because Aldur might be the most dangerous.
* * *
After disbanding the large army, the number of newly formed allied forces did not exceed 500 at most.
500 people may be said to be a lot, but it was a shabby number compared to the thousands who first gathered.
Most of these people were able to withstand the poison of the demonic spirit on their own.
Two days had already passed since entering the depths of the Devil’s Land, and the Allied Forces were spending the night of the Devil’s Land without any trouble.
Caw –
Dio’s eyes widened as he heard the crow’s caw ringing in his ears.
A crow hovering somewhat above his head.
In keeping with the gloomy atmosphere of the demonic world, one could have mistaken it for a crow devouring corpses, but Dio realized at once that it was Evelyn’s summoned beast.
As the Allied Forces have been reduced, the security needs to be strengthened even more.
Accordingly, Dio thought that simply entrusting sentry to knights or mercenaries was not enough, so he entrusted surveillance to Evelyn.
Of course, the target of surveillance was not a demon but five swords.
“D.O. That man is watching again! “Ugh, that’s creepy!”
“I know.”
The crow spoke on behalf of Evelyn.
‘The guy moved.’
The ‘man’ they are talking about is none other than Galletto.
For the past few days, Galletto has been itching to fight Dio.
Others may not understand, but for Galletto, quieting his fighter’s instincts was not easy.
Maybe that’s why Galletto always hovered around Dio and expressed his longing.
Even though the prince was right in front of him, dealing with the demonic beasts was so boring and boring that he decided to give his body a break.
But each time, Freean stopped him.
Freen could not understand why he had to waste his strength in the middle of enemy territory.
And Aldur also tried to dissuade Galletto from his tactless actions.
With so many distractions, Galletto couldn’t get what he wanted and spent the whole day in a state of low pressure.
Time passes by like that and it is still too early for morning to come.
The others, including Prian, who had interfered with Galletto at every turn, have not yet risen.
Galletto, who had been waiting for this moment, approached Dio without hesitation.
‘good. Sufficient measures have been taken.’
The reason Dio did not respond to Galletto’s unexpected behavior was because his existence itself was unexpected.
But now time has passed.
It was enough time to think about how to deal with Galleto.
“Shall we change seats?”
When Dio quietly stood up and opened his mouth, Galletto, who had already come up to him, smiled from ear to ear.
Perhaps Galletto thought that Dio had finally accepted the fight.
‘Use Galletto’s personality.’
Simply belligerent. Galetto’s personality is not enough to say that.
Dio planned to take advantage of this and, as Galletto had hoped, he left the other saboteurs alone and moved with him to a secluded place.
* * *
“I was wondering what would happen if I woke up the prince, but aren’t you hungry too?”
Galletto, who was smiling and crossing his arms to warm up, spoke to Dio.
“What do you mean?”
“fight.”
Galetto was hunched over with his hands on his knees.
His will to fight at any time is visible.
However, Dio’s next words did not live up to Galletto’s expectations.
“Am I crazy? Fight you?”
“huh?”
Hearing Dio’s words, Galletto awkwardly raised his head.
Are you saying that they didn’t set up a separate place like this to fight with themselves?
“You’re going to throw me out now? “Then why did you call me aside?”
“It was sung by Galeto.”
“I’m sure you know what I want, right?”
“I know. So I’m going to make it clear.”
Dio answered harshly.
Unlike Galletto, he was not prepared for battle at all.
“If the fight with Mr. Galeto ends up being just a sparring match, I won’t avoid it either. But don’t you fight to the point of death?”
“….”
Galletto did not specifically deny it. As D.O. said, he is the type of person who sees the end once he has a fight.
“Even if we save our strength to deal with Acrich, what will happen to our military discipline if we fight among ourselves in a situation where we have no choice but to fight?”
“Isn’t there a friend there named Sephia who calls herself a saint? “You just need to get treatment for everything.”
“That is only possible if people are still alive. Who knows? Galeto is so excited that he wants to kill me. Oh, do you really want that? Just as the saintess of the Luna Church wishes.”
“!!”
Galletto was momentarily unable to control his expression as Dio’s words struck his bones.
‘How do we know our mission?’
The saint’s command to bring back Dio’s head.
Galletto was surprised by Dio’s words when he noticed this, but at the same time, his pride was hurt.
The current Galletto is not requesting a duel because of the saint’s orders, but simply because of his desire to win.
So Galletto had no intention of taking Dio’s head.
I just want to feel the pure joy of fighting.
“…no. I just want to have fun. “I’m not particularly interested in your neck.”
“How can you believe that?”
“Khat, can you prove it? “If it weren’t for that, you would be dead by my hands right now.”
Galeto spat out the words like a growl.
Now that we are far behind the Allied Forces and without the prince’s watch.
It was the best opportunity for Galleto to fulfill her duties as a saint.
Nevertheless, Galletto did not attack the defenseless Dio.
There is only one reason.
Because what Galletto wanted was not a mission, but a bloody fight.
“Take up your weapons. “If you keep avoiding me, I have no choice but to carry out my mission.”
“Hmm…”
Despite Galletto’s warning not to run away anymore, Dio still did not take a stance.
As you know, Galletto, who is in a serious battle-mad mode, does not easily attack an unprepared opponent.
“May I suggest something interesting?”
“Don’t talk back and hold your posture.”
Dio didn’t pay any attention to Galletto’s threats and slowly began to circle around him.
As if tempting fish with tasty bait.
“Are you satisfied with just fighting me right now?”
“what?”
“Let’s be honest, shall we? I know your strength. “I saw it firsthand.”
“….”
Galletto collided with Schuwald with all his might in the Kalech Forest.
Dio emphasized that he was there.
“So I’m sure. “As of now, I am not strong enough to satisfy you.”
“That’s up to me to decide.”
“Do you remember me when I first met you?”
“….”
“What am I like then and now? “It’s not as strong as Galetto, but it’s strong enough to make you interested.”
At Dio’s words, Galeto’s spirit calmed down, but he was no less threatening.
“Keep going.”
“After this expedition, I will grow even more.”
“Hold on until then?”
“Persimmons that ripen the longest are the most delicious. I have proven that I am getting stronger quickly. “Don’t you know, Galetto?”
Dio spoke in a confident tone in order to gain Galetto’s trust.
“So I assure you. “Once we finish the entire expedition, I can give you as much of the fight that Galeto wants.”
It wasn’t enough to just convince Galletto.
Dio also looked at the sky with a slightly regretful expression and muttered as if he was talking to himself.
“For that to happen, my head has to be on the line, right? It would be a shame if five other swords were aimed at my neck… “If I haven’t yet met Galeto’s expectations, I will die without moving.”
Dio says that if that happens, the duel that Galeto wants so much will also disappear.
Perhaps because he remembered this, Galetto’s complexion wrinkled.
Nevertheless, Dio continued speaking.
“But if Galeto would stop them…if you would just give me a little time, I could get what I want.”
“Look at this. Are you trying to get me into a fight with people of the same sect?”
“Isn’t it okay? “Don’t you, Galetto, want to fight with the same five swords?”
“…!”
Although Dio’s words openly incited internal division, Galletto did not deny anything.
A duel between five swords was something Galetto was very happy about.
“Anyway, I’m asking you to be patient just a little longer. Is that all? If I return alive, I can make arrangements with other strong players from the empire. “Prince Prian seems to have a lot of trust in me.”
“That’s right.”
Galletto nodded in agreement.
It was an understandable story because he had seen how Prian had treated Dio so far.
“How is it? “Isn’t it okay to invest time now for the future?”
“….”
Galeto showed a worried expression in response to Dio’s persuasion.
Galetto pondered in silence for a while.
Finally, he opened his mouth.
“okay. “It’s all good.”
Galletto looked into Dio’s eyes again as if he had made a decision.
But for some reason, I still didn’t relax my prepared battle stance.
“There is still insufficient evidence.”
“You mean the basis?”
“okay. “I need to see right now if you’ll really grow enough to satisfy me. Then I’ll make a decision.”
“….”
Galletto didn’t want to think complicatedly.
One way or another, it will be easily resolved if we fight in the end.
Galeto believed that he could only be sure if Dio was a vessel that could satisfy him or not only by clashing fists.
Whoa!
The fierce force emanating from Galeto enveloped Dio’s skin.
Is appeasement a failure?
No, not yet.
Because this is also just a process of getting closer to the ending Dio had in mind.
“Whoa-”
Dio calmly caught his breath.
Dio never backed down despite Galletto’s intimidating gaze.
Eventually, as the other person hoped, the energy began to slowly rise.
