Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 26

Episode 26

: A knight on a white horse gallops like crazy.

Sigmund, vice-captain of Rivernos.

The momentum he gave off was on a different level from that of ordinary knights.

It is said that the impact force of a rider riding a horse is equivalent to being hit by a car.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Dio was embarrassed by the sense of speed of Sigmund rushing at full speed, and sensed that his life was in danger.

“Ugh!”

bang!

Dio’s great sword, which reacted late to the sense of intimidation, barely caught Sigmund’s sword.

However, Sigmund’s monstrous strength and the impact of the rider blew Dio away.

Quagwagwang!

‘What power…!’

Dio, who rolled on the floor, barely managed to keep his stance as he planted his greatsword in the ground.

If the Great Sword of Crushing was not a unique grade weapon, it would have been so powerful that it would have been shattered long ago.

If Dio hadn’t thrown back with a superhuman reaction, his wrist would have been shattered.

However, since it was not spilled, Dio massaged his numb arm.

-Hey!

Sigmund took the reins and stopped the white horse, circling around Dio, who had rolled on the ground, and slowed down.

“I’ll make you regret being alive.”

Sigmund got off his horse and approached Dio, spitting out scary words.

‘Your eyes rolled back, right?’

Dio, seeing Sigmund turned upside down, recalled the days when Sigmund was the ‘Inquisitor of Execution’, judging heretics without mercy.

“Wait a minute – I think I’m misunderstanding something!”

“die!”

Dio shouted urgently, but Sigmund’s sword seemed to have no intention of stopping.

Bung-

“Inhale!”

Dio, who knew that the attack could not be blocked by blocking, quickly lowered his head to avoid it and widened the distance between him and him.

“Lord Sigmund! “I am not the enemy!”

“gibberish! “I saw you chasing Sepia with my own eyes!”

“No, I didn’t chase it, I followed behind…”

“It’s loud!”

Sigmund took a charging stance as if he had no intention of listening to Dio.

It’s a big deal.

Sigmund, who seemed to have completely misunderstood something, did not seem to have any intention of talking to Dio.

visor!

As Sigmund continued to attack, Dio raised his sword once again to block his attack.

Kagagagak-fit!

However, the attack was only repelled once.

It was an instant before Dio, who was unable to completely block Sigmund’s subsequent sword attack, had scratches on his face.

“Tsk!”

Dio stepped back to avoid Sigmund’s sword that grazed his cheek.

The good news is that Dio can somehow respond to the current Sigmund.

If it had been an awakened Sigmund, the match would have already ended in the first match.

The best Dio could do now was to hold out until Sepia quickly came and stopped Sigmund.

‘damn.’

The problem is that the knights who followed Sigmund thought Sepia was dangerous and surrounded her as if to guard her…

If this continues, they might really die before she comes.

‘I have no choice but to somehow create a gap and kill time through conversation.’

Sigh!

Dio plunged his great sword into the ground in response to Sigmund’s attack.

Kagak!

Continuing a power struggle with Sigmund is not a good idea.

So Dio chose to block Sigmund’s attack route rather than directly engage his sword.

When the Great Sword of Crushing was driven into the ground, a battlefield was created as if a huge pillar had been erected between Dio and Sigmund.

“It’s the same!”

Because it was a bulky greatsword, Sigmund deflected the greatsword as if it were not the same and aimed at Dio’s body.

But it is enough for Sigmund to be aware of the obstacle.

That alone could slow down Sigmund’s actions just a little.

Throw in!

Dio’s new type flew high faster than Sigmund’s attack, which was limited to stabbing.

Boom!

Using the Great Sword of Crushing as support, Dio jumped high again and quickly passed over Sigmund and caught his back…

Dio’s subsequent kick landed in Sigmund’s face.

Bye!

However, Sigmund was able to block the kick by holding his sword back.

Dio covered his tongue at that surprising reaction.

‘shit.’

phut!

Sigmund swings his arm and shakes Dio off.

In response, Dio got on the ground and did a somersault to increase the distance from Sigmund again.

“It’s my first time seeing this movement… but it looks like it’s a little bit like that.”

Sigmund, who realized that the other person’s skills were not average, calmly opened his mouth, and Dio’s eyes lit up.

It is now.

We have to take advantage of the opportunity when Sigmund is calm to continue the conversation somehow.

“for a moment! Just listen to me for a moment! “I was the one who rescued Sepia from the thieves’ den!”

Stop.

Did Dio’s earnest cry finally come through?

Sigmund’s movements stopped for a moment, and Dio, who could not miss this opportunity, calmly thought about what to say next.

You must not say anything.

In order to explain it, it is necessary to understand Sigmund’s personality.

‘The family love is strong. I think it’s even more so because I’m the only blood relative left.’

Perhaps it is because of the strong bond and family love that has existed since childhood.

If so, even a fool would know that the magic word that can restore Sigmund’s mind is ‘sepia’.

Dio is the one who saved Sephia.

‘I didn’t want to show off… but there’s nothing I can do.’

Dio decided that the only way to resolve the misunderstanding was to speak directly.

You have to appeal not only to the fact that you saved her, but also to the fact that you went to great lengths to bring her here.

I had to let him know about my dedicated efforts for Sepia.

“The warlocks had kidnapped Sepia with them. All I want to do is rescue her and head to Rivernos.”

“under!”

Despite Dio’s explanation, Sigmund let out an exclamation and still did not erase his hostility.

“How do you know that you are a member of the warlocks?”

“yes?”

“Are you telling me to believe you when I say that you cleaned out the warlocks by yourself?”

Dio, embarrassed by Sigmund’s wild speculation, was speechless.

“I thought you knew we were tracking you and tried to take Sephia somewhere else!”

He was just so embarrassed that he couldn’t speak, but Sigmund used that as an excuse to continue shouting with confidence.

“You are summarily executed!”

‘Isn’t this completely crazy?’

Dio gritted his teeth at the sight of Sigmund not listening to him no matter what he said.

‘I can’t die in vain like this!’

We prioritized persuasion, but also took into account situations in which persuasion might fail.

The great sword of crushing that left Dio’s hand.

Five marks engraved on the Great Sword of Crushing.

And the great sword of crushing is currently within close range of Sigmund.

The moment when Dio is about to activate [Exposure] at the timing of Sigmund’s approach.

Sigh!

A hard-looking rock hit Sigmund on the head.

There is no one here who can attack Sigmund without his knowledge.

Is it just here? There are few even on the continent.

But that’s possible for one person.

Only one person, whom Sigmund could never be on guard against, was qualified to hit him on the back of the head.

“Three sepia? why?”

There is no way that Sigmund, a superman, would have suffered even a single injury just from being pelted with stones.

However, after confirming that the person who threw the stone was Sepia, Sigmund simply opened his mouth and could not move, perhaps because he was in mental shock.

“stop!”

Sepia’s shout pierced Sigmund’s ears.

thank god. Honestly, I wondered what would happen if Sepia didn’t stop him, but honestly, there’s no reason for her not to stop him.

‘He’s just being wary of me, but I’m glad he’s thinking carefully about the oath.’

Dio didn’t think Sephia believed everything he said.

Nevertheless, anyone who has seen Sepia so far will not easily overlook the stories about the help they received and the oath they made.

“Oppa, are you crazy? Are you planning to kill me too?”

“What does that mean? Why should I…”

“Oh really!”

Sephia, who had decided to agree in advance, stamped her feet in frustration as she could not bear to tell the truth.

“Phew-”

Anyway, I made it to Sigmund and Sephia safely.

The only thing left is to separate these two again….

“Dying together? What on earth does that mean! sepia!”

Sigmund shouts, looking alternately at Dio and Sepia with burning eyes.

As a result, Dio sensed that future difficulties were foreshadowed.

* * *

“I am sorry. “Senator.”

“it’s okay.”

Sigmund, who seemed to be hot-tempered, bowed his head to Dio and handed him an apple.

The knights who followed Sigmund were waiting far away, and Sigmund was currently talking to Dio with only Sephia in tow.

“I’m glad the misunderstanding has been resolved.”

“It seems that there are many mysterious visions in the Eastern Continent.”

Sigmund, who had heard everything explained to Sepia, continued the conversation in a calm manner.

Or maybe he was just pretending to calm down to get Sepia’s attention.

“It also lifts the warlock’s curse. Even though he doesn’t look like a congressman on the outside. haha.”

Sigmund’s tone, full of sarcasm, is proof of that.

“…The West Continent is a mystery of our Eastern Continent that cannot be known.”

On the outside, they are smiling and talking to each other, but there is a strange tension in the air.

Now, Dio had explained the journey to Sigmund based on the story of Sepia’s kiss.

In that story, Dio is set up as a ‘wandering lawmaker from the Eastern Continent’.

Black hair and exotic appearance.

And unusual, mystical knowledge.

Considering that Sephia misunderstood Dio as someone from the East, it was a valid story.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to completely resolve Sigmund’s doubts.

“Usually healers have enormous holy power and water mana…”

“If this place deals with mana, we deal with energy.”

The misunderstanding that he was not a henchman of the warlocks was resolved, but Dio calmly answered Sigmund’s question as his doubts were not all gone.

“Did that cure the warlock’s curse?”

“Rather than a cure, it is about turning black magic into nothingness. “It is close to the concept of Haeju.”

“….”

Sigmund made a puzzled expression at Dio’s answer without hesitation.

‘He says he’s Gingaminga too.’

In any case, additional conversation seems necessary to make the fake identity believable.

“We in the East Continent view the treatment methods of the West Continent as mysterious. Healing is done with faith in God. “In our continent, religion is more about spiritual practice and philosophical teachings.”

“…But the member of the National Assembly seems to have quite a bit of force. Are all the members of the Eastern Continent like that?”

“Isn’t there a law that says a member of the National Assembly cannot learn martial arts? “I came all the way here across the sea, but I have enough to protect myself.”

“Then the warlocks too…”

“Haha, didn’t I say I took care of them all? Oh, and-”

Dio, who was naturally continuing his story, lowered his head to Sigmund and lowered his voice.

“As you saw earlier, the stigma engraved on Sepia… cannot be treated with normal methods.”

At Dio’s words, Sigmund looked nervously at Sepia’s left arm next to him.

“…Is there a way?”

Sigmund’s question is full of anxiety.

At this, Dio smiled and opened his mouth.

“Sure. Who am I? I am the best lawmaker from the East who came across the sea.”
