Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 30
Episode 30:
A thorn-studded club and an old hatchet with a sloppy blade.
If the general public had seen it, they would have been frightened by the rough blades, but to Dio, he was just a child messing around with a toy.
‘I was a little lacking in experience, but it worked out well. ‘It would be much better to deal with these guys and meet the boss, right?’
Dio stretched out his intertwined fingers and relaxed, and suddenly found a familiar face among the gang.
‘Oh, was there a guy I remembered? The name… I don’t know. ‘Your nickname was pair eyes, right?’
A one-eyed man with an eyepatch over one eye.
His loyalty was enormous, and I remember how Gore Howl’s boss, Tusk, played the role of right-hand man with such special attention.
‘Even so, I was killed by Sigmund.’
There are five gang members currently standing in front of Dio.
However, a gang of gangsters, who had already heard rumors in the area, could be seen approaching from afar.
“Where are you looking?”
“Are you thinking of giving it a try with us?”
Unhappy with Dio’s lack of composure, Gore Howl’s gang took a step forward.
“I’d like to talk to your boss…if it’s the fastest way to get to the point, then so be it.”
“You bastard!”
“Kill!”
The gang pours out their anger towards Dio, who is blowing out his fists.
In response, Dio kicked the ground towards them without even needing to draw his sword.
* * *
A huge warehouse located in a shanty town.
Unlike other abandoned buildings, this warehouse looked shabby but had a solid iron door blocking access from the outside. The person who pushed open the heavy iron door
and
entered the warehouse was none other than Dio.
He dragged his bloodied eye and approached the numerous gang members waiting for him.
“Boss Bo, that bastard is killing our kids! Cough, the bastard from the Golden Dawn…!”
Jakyun, who was dragged by Dio by one of his legs, cried out earnestly, but the gang did not show the slightest movement.
Naturally, the gang just watched because their boss, who was with them, did not give any orders.
The leader of Gore Howl sits on a soft sofa and drinks.
Tusk.
No, she was a northerner with a sturdy physique just like the larger gang members.
Northerners, regardless of gender, who survive in the harsh and unforgiving environment live as warriors.
Her orange hair was also a common color among northerners, and her size, which was larger than that of most men, gave an intimidating look to her opponents.
It’s not just about being big.
The large and small scars engraved on her skin were like medals that allowed her to rise to the top of Gore Howl.
“you.”
Tusk’s mouth opened and Dio stared at her.
“Are you the Eastern Continent that Sigmund brought?”
“I had a hard time crossing the sea.”
Dio and Tusk look at each other before a full-fledged conversation.
“I received my title as soon as I arrived. I heard that I stopped by Golden Dawn first… I wish we could have had a good chat there. “Why did you come to me next?”
Even the fact that he was given the position of special auditor by Sigmund and that he met and talked with Golden Dawn.
Tusk knew all of this, and Dio also expected it.
No, it was intended to be expected.
“I received a favor from Sigmund.”
“Why are you doing him a favor?”
“mercenary.”
Tusk snorted as if he was taken aback by Dio’s grinning words.
“That handsome Sigmund hired mercenaries to catch us?”
“okay. Are you saying you have no cause or something? “He asked me to clean up the back alley.”
“Haha!”
Tusk let out a hearty laugh as Dio calmly accepted his words.
“You want me to believe that? How long have I been watching Sigmund? “He’s trying to solve the problem in Rivernos by borrowing someone else’s help?”
Clink!
The glass that Tusk threw broke in front of Dio.
“good night. “If Sigmund made that request, are you now declaring war on us?”
“It’s nothing like that in particular. “I am not Sigmund’s subordinate.”
“…what?”
Tusk frowned, not immediately understanding what Dio meant.
In response, D.O. added additional explanation.
“Sigmund wants to unify the back alleys through me rather than completely clear them out.”
“Do you have the ability to do that?”
“of course.”
Kwaaak-
“Kwaaaak!”
Dio stepped on Jjaknun’s shoulder, who was lying on the floor, and Jjaknun’s scream echoed throughout the warehouse they were in.
Dio’s obvious provocation.
Tusk is no longer just watching this.
“Kids, the conversation is over.”
Tusk raised one hand as if he was responding to the provocation, and the gang who received the signal began to step forward.
-Kill!
-How dare you tell me where this is!
-Show me your example!
The shouts of the gang. And….
Saeaeaeek –
An arrow flying between the gang.
Pak-!
Dio caught the arrow before it reached his forehead.
‘There are no three ranged wizards. The number is about twenty.’
Dio, who broke the arrow he caught, smiled and pulled out his great sword.
Unlike the gentle Golden Dawn, D.O. had already anticipated physical friction with them.
Quang!
As Dio’s great sword crushed the group that was running ahead, the group that followed hesitated.
It was an instant before Dio’s great sword, with its momentum, destroyed the disorderly line of the gang.
Cracking –
Kwagwagwagwang!
In an instant, more than half of the gang became corpses.
Only then did they realize that the man in front of them was no ordinary person.
“What a monster!”
“Don’t be scared! “That guy is one guy!”
“Gagging!”
Craddangtang!
One of Dio’s beaten gang members flew in front of Tusk.
Dio sensed the difference in skills and left the gang members who did not attack easily.
He lifted his greatsword onto his shoulder and waved his hand at Tusk.
“Isn’t this the time to just watch? “If all your men are killed here, will the balance in the back alleys that we have maintained so far be maintained?”
“Ha-”
In response to Dio’s continued provocation, Tusk grabbed the ax and shield that were mounted behind him.
The ax and shield, which he preferred for close combat, were weapons that suited Tusk well, just as he was a northerner.
Kang! Kang!
“Everyone get out of the way! “I will tear that bastard to death!”
Tusk, who was constantly giving off a gladiator vibe, clinked his ax and shield to give a signal, and the gang surrounding Dio retreated.
Throw-Hack –
Tusk’s lunge, which was intended to hit head-on without even thinking about looking.
Dio also did not avoid her as she wished, but faced her head on.
bang!
When Dio’s great sword and Tusk’s sword clashed, sparks flew and the superiority of power was determined in an instant.
“Did you just go on a rampage with that much skill?”
Tusk smiled with his teeth at Dio, who was being pushed away, and immediately swung the shield he was holding.
Empty!
Dio blocked Tusk’s push with his great sword, but he could clearly feel that he was being pushed back in strength.
‘It’s not as good as Sigmund, but it’s definitely superior to me.’
Tusk possesses [Strength], a characteristic of northerners, and is a female warrior who can achieve strength and speed above the same level.
Kang-kang!
Dio was in a hurry to block the fierce attack, and Tusk snorted at him.
“How long can I hold out!”
Tusk once again struck with his shield at Dio, who was guarding him, and swung his ax at Dio’s head, who ducked to block it.
“It’s over!”
Kang!
It was clearly an attack intended to split the opponent’s head in half, but for some reason, Tusk’s attack was blocked by something solid.
“What?”
It wasn’t a great sword.
Obviously, a weapon called a great sword can be used for defense due to its large area, but Tusk clearly restricted Dio’s movements.
After hitting the great sword with the shield, he aimed for the defenseless head.
Didn’t he shout that it was over because he was sure that he couldn’t stop this attack with his abilities?
“What the hell is this…”
Tusk’s judgment was not wrong.
In a way, it was a natural result that Dio, who was inferior in physical ability, could not block Tusk’s repeated hits.
But…
“What on earth have you done?!”
Tusk shouted in confusion as he looked at Dio’s hand holding the blade of his axe.
Of course, Dio’s hands were not bare.
Ivory gauntlets that I had definitely not seen before the fight.
The gauntlet emitting brilliant light blocked Tusk’s attack.
“This is level 100 unique equipment.”
Dio threw arsenic at the embarrassed Tusk, and from that point on, Dio’s whole body emitted an amazing light.
Tsupat!
Dio’s new equipment has been replaced all over his body, starting with his arms.
—————
[Impulsive Gauntlet]
Grade: Unique
Classification: Gauntlet
Level limit: 100
Attack power: 35
Defense power: 96
2nd set effect: Strength +30
4th set effect: Strength +80
6-set effect: Strength +150
—————
If you wear an impulse set of 6 parts like the Salamander set, you can get a whopping strength correction of 150.
“It’s real from now on.”
The level of Tusk that Dio remembers is mid to late level 100.
And Dio’s current level against him is 90.
Dio, who had raised his level to 89 in the underground tunnel, raised his level to 90 by dealing with Gore Howl’s gang.
This happened through Dio’s thorough calculations.
If I hadn’t been able to reach level 90, I wouldn’t have done anything like confronting Tusk head-on.
“Huh artifact!?”
As Dio strengthened his arm, Tusk was pushed away helplessly.
The reason why Tusk, who was clearly ahead in terms of pure strength even excluding technology, was pushed aside.
It was thanks to the impulse set.
“Profit… Do you think you can catch me by wearing that artifact!”
Tusk’s cry of evil.
But she also instinctively knew.
This means that the equipment Dio wears is not just a cheap item sold at a street vendor.
“that’s enough.”
Tuong –
Dio’s fist knocked off Tusk’s shield and hit her in the abdomen.
“Gagging!”
The Impulse set gives the player overwhelming power, as seen in the set options.
Even though it is armor.
In fact, Dio’s power has become so strong that the Great Sword of Crushing is no longer needed.
Even though it only took one hit, it was enough to bring Tusk to his knees.
“This…this!”
bang!
Tusk, who had endured the pain even with blood pouring from his mouth, stood up again and swung his axe, and Dio, who was surprised by this, took a cross guard.
Tusk’s attack did not pierce Dio’s armor, but it did not completely cushion the impact, so Dio lost his balance and stumbled.
“Hwaaaap!”
Tusk rushed forward without missing the opportunity.
Those eyes were just like those of a berserker.
[Defense decreases due to the battle cry effect.]
A message from the system that Tusk has activated a skill.
No matter how much unique armor you wore, it was dangerous to be attacked by it while receiving the battle cry effect.
Dio twisted his body in the same unbalanced position and let Tusk’s attack go. At the same time as
Tusk
dodged the axe, Dio swung his right arm and elbowed her in the jaw.
“Kaa-!”
Even though it was a counter that entered accurately, Tusk endured differently than before.
The battle cry had other effects besides giving debuffs to the opponent.
It also increases your attack and defense power.
This allowed Tusk to withstand one attack from Dio, and thanks to this, she was able to continue the attack right away.
Kigigiggik –
Dio calmly slanted the ax wielded by Tusk, and a horrifying metallic sound rang out.
A big move from an excited Tusk.
Sigh –
Dio burrowed into Tusk’s chest, grabbed her arm, and threw her to the floor.
Kwaaang-!
The sound resonated loudly, perhaps due to the combination of Tusk’s size and Dio’s power.
“Cough!”
Facing Tusk, who was sprawled out on the floor, Dio began to apply pressure to her carotid artery with his knee.
“Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!
“Phew…get some sleep first. Let’s continue the conversation when you wake up.”
“Squawk,”
Dio said, putting strength on his knees, and Tusk began to struggle, foaming at the mouth.
