Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 49

Episode 49

Although Estellum has the nickname of the undead city, it is ultimately a place where people live.

As the largest city in the western part of the continent, even Rivernos, which prides itself on its security, has an underworld presence, and gangsters are bound to exist here as well.

Gordon explained to his partner Joseph what had happened at the mercenary office.

“You mean you’ll make a lot of money by doing all the collection requests? “Where are these guys hanging out?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, I got all the manager stamps and received a lot of compensation.”

“Wouldn’t it be great if we were to take their money?”

“After all, you are my eternal partner.”

Gordon laughed heartily at Joseph, who pretended to understand.

“Hmm, isn’t it dangerous to mess with those guys? They may have come out to carry out a knight, or they may have come out of the Magic Tower to dispose of materials…”

Gordon pondered over his suggestion and carefully guessed their identities.

However, Gordon had already thought about these concerns, so he took out the mace he had prepared in advance as if to tell him not to worry.

“That’s why I brought this specially made mace.”

“what? “That thing you said last time?”

The mace that Gordon took out was different from an ordinary mace.

A sharp thorn attached to the iron core of a mace.

The thorns were not evenly sprouted, but were curved like the claws of a bird of prey.

“Just like this! “If we kill them and make it look like a werewolf attacked them, they won’t even think it was us.”

“Wow, fuck. I remodeled it like this. “The blacksmith will cry.”

Joseph, who took the mace from Gordon, let out an exclamation.

“how is it? Are you going to do it?”

“of course. “How many people do you need to do the work?”

Joseph started laughing, as did Gordon, and they began making plans in earnest.

“About four loud-mouthed guys?”

“So there are a total of six including us?”

“okay. Since there are three kites to work on… that should be enough to work leisurely.”

Joseph nodded at Gordon’s words.

“Then what about the compensation?”

“We are half. Please share the rest yourself. “Because we planned the strategy.”

“good. I take responsibility for bringing in useful people. time is?”

“Is there a need to postpone? “Let’s start right after midnight today.”

“Great.”

Josen and Gordon looked around at the back of the ‘White Deer Inn’ where the target was staying.

“What floor did you say it was?”

“There are girls in the second room on the fourth floor, and there are guys in the third room.”

Joseph once again explained the strategy to the Estellum gangsters he had called.

“We will divide the number of people and enter through the front door and window at the same time. “Deal with it as quickly as possible.”

“okay. But aren’t women worth killing?”

“I couldn’t see one girl because she was wearing a hood, but the other one was gloomy but acceptable. “That unhidden three-dimensional effect is just wow.”

The gangsters were whispering and giggling to each other, and Gordon spoke to them in a low voice.

“Don’t talk nonsense. When bitches shout, it becomes a pain in the ass. Make sure to do it as originally planned.”

“I’m really kidding.”

The gangster immediately gave up on Gordon’s threats.

Their ultimate goal is to make it look like their targets have been attacked by werewolves.

If you leave the women alive and get caught by other mercenaries or hunters, your life is no different from death.

“If they all come through the front door at once, they might notice, so let the two sharp guys clean up the women’s room. “Gordon and I will take care of the male.”

“Then what do we do?”

Two hoodlums who had not been assigned a task asked Gordon.

“You are reserve forces. You have to prepare for variables. If we can’t handle it all at once and things get messy, you guys come and help us. Or, leave a reasonable gap and enter on your own.”

“As expected, it’s Joseph.”

The gang members who made the plan covered their faces by wearing masks they had prepared in advance.

Whirl-clack-

clack-

a hook rope was thrown onto the roof of the inn and the two thugs, accustomed to this type of work, began climbing the wall.

Matching their speed, Joseph and Gordon held their breath and gently opened the inn’s door and successfully broke in.

Joseph and Gordon notice that sometimes guests who toss and turn in their sleep spend time on the first floor of the inn, but now it is empty.

They looked at each other, nodded, and slowly began to climb the stairs.

-It’s here.

-Shh.

Joseph and Gordon held their breath even more as they stood in front of the target’s room and took out their pocket watches from their pockets to check the time.

-30 seconds before operation time.

-okay.

After confirming that they had arrived on time, they waited for the time agreed upon with the gangsters outside.

Now, after 30 or 20 seconds, attack both rooms at the same time with the gangsters who will be outside the window, and it will be over.

Joseph, who placed his hand on the doorknob, continued with the few remaining numbers.

6

5

4….

Kwasik!

Before the appointed time arrived, a dagger came flying through the door from inside.

Sigh!

“Joseph!!”

The dagger pierced Joseph’s head at once, and Gordon panicked, calling out for his colleague who died instantly.

Suddenly-

“What is it? omg!”

For a brief moment before Gordon had any idea how to react, the door opened and someone pulled him out.

Squeak –

The door that had been opened began to shake slightly on its own, and Gordon’s pretense of popularity disappeared completely.

* * *

“It’s obvious. “It’s obvious.”

In a dark room without a single candle, Dio placed the two corpses he had instantly subdued in a corner and shook out his palms.

Dio had long known about the existence of a gangster who was stealing the mercenaries’ property.

It wasn’t just Dio.

From the moment she heard suspicious signs of people near the inn where she was staying, Evelyn noticed it and prepared for an attack.

‘He seemed careless, but he’s still quite careful.’

I was a little worried about Evelyn’s foolish behavior, but the way she was always on guard through magic was quite trustworthy.

‘Because it’s level 150 and there will be a familiar. ‘It’s strange to be attacked by someone like this.’

Dio turned his attention to the next room, where he would have dealt with the attacking thugs just like him, and looked toward the window.

‘There’s still some left.’

Dio slowly got up from his seat and approached the window. As expected

,

the window opened from the outside and a masked man entered the room.

“…what? “I don’t think there’s anyone here?”

“Is the work finished already? “I came here just in case…”

“It’s dark so I can’t see well. “Let’s turn on the light…”

One of the strangers, who was looking for a candle, trailed off, and the other person, who thought this was strange, tapped him.

“Hey, are you trying to turn on the light? “What are you doing…”

They were used to the darkness and only then did they see it.

These are corpses stuffed in the corner of a room with their necks twisted grotesquely.

“Mr….”

Pow!

The sword pierced the neck of the assailant who was about to scream in surprise.

It sparkled even more under the silvery black moonlight.

Sigh!

Dio opened his mouth to the other monster who was staring blankly at the red blood spraying everywhere.

“Come on.”

Suddenly-

* * *

“Dio! are you okay?”

“okay. “How about yours?”

After confirming that there were no more attackers, Dio entered the next room and Sephia greeted him.

“What are these guys? “I slept well tonight.”

Evelyn grunted and pointed at the two monsters who had fainted after being bound by her magic.

“They are murderers, robbers, trash, etc.”

Unlike himself, Dio approached the gunmen who were still alive and cut off their heads without any thought.

“…Are you merciless?”

“It has to be handled properly to be safe.”

Even the witch Evelyn stuck out her tongue at Dio’s cold-hearted appearance, and Sepia turned her head as she was not yet used to murder.

‘If you aim for a vital spot, one shot… not bad.’

Dio brushed off the blood on his Silver Arming Sword and replayed the battle just before.

Even though they look like gangsters, they are gangsters whose level is easily over 140.

Nevertheless, the fact that he was able to easily subdue it meant that Dio had become that much stronger.

‘Even if something like this happens in the future, I won’t have to use width.’

In fact, the forgotten swordsmanship ‘slash’ skill became an extremely effective skill as Dio grew.

In just this battle, didn’t you kill gangsters of a similar level to yourself with a single blow using a ‘cut’?

“Hey, I slept all night.”

“Don’t relax yet.”

Hearing Evelyn’s whining words, Dio still did not put away his weapon and looked at the window where the assailants had invaded.

“Is there still more?”

“No way? “There’s nothing special about my search magic…”

Sepia asked nervously at Dio’s words, and Evelyn shook her head before stopping as if there was no way her words were correct.

“…something is coming.”

Dio nodded at Evelyn’s words, which, like Sepia, seemed very nervous, as if he had expected that to happen.

The most dangerous thing in Estel Room is not the monster.

The reason you have to be careful about murder even in this place full of criminals is because of the presence of two monsters.

Vampires and werewolves.

They are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and always crave human blood.

Since six corpses were gathered together and bleeding, there was a high possibility that they would come from far away.

‘Which one? It would be nice if it was a vampire…’

There was one reason why he attracted the attention of others from the mercenary office and killed the gangsters without hesitation.

This is because they may be able to dig up information related to Ludens.

Evelyn said that the vampires of Estellum are not Ludens’ blood relatives, but they are still the same species, so they may know something.

‘If there’s nothing in particular, just raise experience points.’

Even though it was time for everyone to go to sleep, I could clearly hear the sound of people walking down the hallway

.

Unlike the gunmen who secretly attacked, the guest this time did not make any attempt to hide his presence.

‘You seem pretty confident. They are different from werewolves who act roughly. ‘It’s a vampire.’

When the half-

open door opened wide, Sephia and Evelyn each raised their bows and staffs, and Dio lowered his weapons to start a conversation.

“uh?”

“what?”

When the door opened, the person who appeared was surprised to see Dio, and Dio also looked surprised at the somewhat familiar face.

“you are…?”

“Aren’t they the mercenaries who came to visit us during the day today?”

Surprisingly, the man who appeared was the pale receptionist I had seen at the mercenary office.

“What’s going on here?”

“Oh, that’s…”

Perhaps because they knew each other, Dio was unable to treat the other person harshly even though he was certain that he was a vampire seeking blood.

“Well… I’m working as a cleaner on the side… I guess the neighborhood is like that, isn’t it?”

Dio thought he was struggling as the other person spoke gibberish.

“The cleaning you’re talking about involves corpses, right?”

“Ah yes. This happens often. “This neighborhood.”

As the conversation continued awkwardly, Dio felt puzzled because he did not feel any hostility towards the other person.

‘That’s strange? It’s different from the Estemlum vampires I remember. Is she really a cleaner? No, this guy was something I didn’t remember.’

There are vampires living in hiding in human society.

However, although Dio has hunted countless vampires in Estellum on the Order Board, he has never encountered a vampire like this.

‘Should I ask if he’s a vampire?’

Although there are many circumstances, D.O. is sensitive to the unexpected attitude of the other person.

But Dio wasn’t the only one acting awkwardly.

Hmm –

the person presumed to be a vampire suddenly took a deep breath and his pale complexion instantly returned to a bright expression.

Should I smell blood again?

Dio frowned at his opponent’s strange behavior, but once again, something happened that went against his expectations.

“…I have a favor to ask you, mercenary.”
