Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 124
Episode 124
:
The sound of Lennon’s teeth grinding was heard, as if the anger he had been holding in until now had reached its limit.
However, Dio, who did not pay any attention to this, continued his provocation.
“Looking at it, it was a match between Lennon, who won without a single injury, and me, whose injury was not fully healed yet. I don’t think it’s that unfair, but what about you?”
As Dio asked the crowd watching, their murmurs grew louder.
“I want to see the skills of the rumored mercenary…”
“But the match is already over, right?”
“No, it was originally the author who should have stepped up.”
While some people frowned at Dio’s actions, there were many who did not like his suggestions.
However, among the many spectators, the knights and unmanned forces from outside seemed to want a showdown between Dio and Lennon.
In addition, the nobles who came from far away also seemed to think that the previous match between Lennon and Roberto had ended in a boring way.
Eventually, their wish spread to everyone, and soon everyone’s opinion sharply shifted towards wanting to see the two compete.
“Surely the great Master Lennon will avoid my proposal? “What about you, matriarch?”
“I allow it.”
Did you understand the public sentiment of the audience?
Or did he realize Dio’s plan and respond to it?
Anyway, Dalimus, who made eye contact with Dio, gave permission without hesitation.
With the matriarch’s permission, Lennon lifted the sword that was hanging down and held it again.
* * *
‘okay. If you want to die like that, I’ll do as you wish.’
Lennon could no longer tolerate Dio’s provocations.
The reason I didn’t immediately accept the duel he proposed wasn’t because I was scared.
The previous duel ended with his overwhelming victory.
This was because in this situation, there was no need to respond to Dio’s intention to take away the protagonist’s position.
Although his opponent said he had already won the game, Lennon knew better than anyone else that the real game started now.
If this happens, there is only one way for Lennon.
Like the mercenary who rushed in without even knowing the topic, the problem will be resolved if the author kneels at his feet.
Once again, ‘overwhelmingly.’
“Raise your sword.”
“Be kind too.”
Lennon looked at his opponent who took out a weapon at his words.
A practice iron sword with an incorrect edge.
The iron sword made for sparring was heavy and a clunky weapon with poor center of gravity.
Lennon, who thought this was a slight against him, made a harsh expression.
“You’re going to deal with me with that?”
“I don’t think it will be enough.”
The audience seemed to have noticed the presence of an iron sword in Lennon’s words and began to whisper about it.
“What is he holding? “A club?”
“It looks like a training iron sword, but you’re confident in your skills?”
“You arrogant. While discussing honor just now, he insists on using an iron sword. “Is this your intention to crush the Duke’s nose?”
“I’m excited? “Isn’t that how confident you are?”
Perhaps the most arrogant mercenary behavior.
Whether it was praise or criticism didn’t matter to Lennon.
In the end, it was only a shame that the audience’s attention was focused on the mercenary.
Lennon did not say anything more despite Diamond’s response.
The more I talk to him, the more I feel like I’m being drawn into it.
The ongoing duel was no different from falling for the author’s trick.
We had to respond to the victory early on.
Because the best way to subdue a mercenary who does not know the subject is to use great force.
‘Let’s see if we can still afford it even after clashing swords.’
In some ways, Lennon was more confident than when he fought Spade earlier.
Spade was a fierce mercenary who combined speed with a fist rather than a sword.
However, his current opponent is a sword fighting match, which can be seen as Lennon’s main sport.
It was a stage where one could never lose and should not lose in a swordsmanship battle in the name of Bertio.
“Please come in first.”
Even though I gave him time to get into position, the opponent still took his time.
Lennon did not give him any more time to educate the arrogant mercenary who had no idea about chivalry.
Now it was time to show it to everyone.
What kind of power does the apex predator have?
* * *
Parbat!
thud!
Lennon’s foot hit the ground.
The momentum emanating from him contained Bertio’s unique weight.
Like a lion with its prey in front of it.
Lennon’s sword, showing his bravery, instantly narrowed the distance between him and his opponent.
Kaga River!
Dio effortlessly struck back his sword.
It is an iron sword borrowed from the Knights’ training ground, but it is a more than sufficient weapon to deal with Lennon.
Although it lacks killing power, its durability itself is strong, making it suitable for dealing with Bertio’s swordsmanship, which has tremendous crushing power.
Chachaechaeng!
Lennon’s expression hardens, as he had clearly expected to overwhelm his opponent in front of Bertio Geomsik.
‘Strange.’
Although we only exchanged a few sums, Lennon could feel it.
The opponent who struck back with his sword was not that fast or threatening.
So it’s even weirder.
How could he repel all his attacks with such a puny weapon?
Kagagaga River!
Lennon increased the tempo out of urgency.
Bertio Swordsmanship is a sword technique created based on overwhelming shredding techniques that shatter the opponent’s defenses.
It doesn’t matter if he blocks it with an iron sword.
Just press it with overwhelming force and that will be enough.
“Ha!”
Lennon, with great enthusiasm, jumped up high and held his sword back.
The aura filled with Lennon’s sword shook with his power.
Bertio’s visionary swordsmanship.
Ryan Singh.
‘Try to stop this too!’
Lennon’s sword struck Dio’s shoulder accurately.
However, what Lennon’s sword struck was only an afterimage left behind by Dio, so it was slammed into the hard ground.
Quagwagwagwang!
Lennon was embarrassed that he had missed his opponent’s movements for a moment.
fast.
Even with that heavy iron sword, I couldn’t chase it away.
I was about to pull out the sword stuck in the ground with my teeth in dismay at that unbelievable fact.
humming!
Dio’s new form, whose movements had been missed, appeared next to Lennon and swung his iron sword.
Lennon barely drew his sword and blocked Dio’s attack, but lost his balance and stumbled.
“Ugh!”
A staggering Lennon had no time to counter Dio.
Instead, Dio’s kick continues towards Lennon, who was wasting time trying to regain his balance.
Pop!
Lennon, who blocked Dio’s kick with his sword, lost his balance once again and took an ugly step back.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”
Lennon, who almost lost his grip for a moment, exhaled harshly.
Dio, who was looking at Lennon like that, slowly lowered his foot towards him without moving a single step from his spot.
“Does it look very difficult?”
Unlike Lennon, Dio, who was not shaken in the slightest, grinned.
To Dio, who experienced the true Vertio sword dance shown by Dalimus, Lennon’s sword is no different from an underdeveloped lion cub.
Since the destructive power cannot be ignored, it was difficult to block all attacks with an iron sword, but avoiding them was no problem for Dio.
“This…”
Dio could feel Lennon’s anger as he ground his teeth.
Nevertheless, Dio had no intention of pushing Lennon any further than this.
He was waiting.
A young lion driven to a cliff has only one thing left to do.
Of course, that was exactly what Dio was waiting for, and since it would be a self-killer that would strangle him, Dio laughed at Lennon even more in anger.
* * *
‘Surely I’m weaker than that guy? ‘I’m going to lose the duel?’
Lennon looked at the mercenary who was at his leisure and his arm that was holding the sword trembled.
This trembling is not because his sword is as powerful as Bertio’s swordsmanship.
However, it wasn’t that I felt afraid of him.
‘A mere mercenary…is looking down on me?’
The confidence that had built up and surrounded him as the eldest son of a swordsman from the royal family of the Eastern King is stripped away.
I hate to admit it, but I have to admit it.
That this guy is more talented than you.
The anger at this unbelievable reality was so great that it could not be expressed in words.
But Lennon still had a way left.
‘I must never lose.’
Lennon glanced sideways at the spectators who were watching all this fighting and slowly took a breath.
“As expected, he is Bertio’s eldest son!”
“What a huge attack!”
“I think you barely managed to push that mercenary away?”
If someone unfamiliar with the duel had seen it, they would have thought that they were equal or that Lennon was superior.
In the end, the kick that the mercenary was allowed to do was blocked without difficulty.
However, those with some skills can see it if they see it.
This duel is now one-sided and Lennon is losing.
Watching the mercenary’s leisure, Lennon was able to feel something he had never experienced before.
Envy and jealousy were not words that suited Lennon.
It’s a word only suitable for losers like Ates.
but.
Lennon finally knew what they felt.
I, who was called a genius, lost to a mercenary with an iron sword?
Where on earth did such a monster come from?
I must be the star of this stage… but
there definitely shouldn’t be anyone more talented than me!
Lennon passed by the nobles who did not even know how to use a sword and looked at Dalimus and Gunther, who were at the head of the table.
It was as if he knew this would happen.
What does that mercenary say?
More than your own flesh and blood.
Lennon could not bear it any longer as he looked at the eyes of the next head of the family who would carry Bertio, showing that he had more expectations than himself.
‘father. ‘Did you really intend to embarrass me?’
Lennon made his decision amid rising anger.
I will show it to Dalimus.
That you were wrong.
I am not a young lion yet. It is an apex predator that reigns supreme over all.
-You know it too. If you use this, you can reach greater heights.
After a brief reminiscence, Lennon stroked the jewels elaborately placed on his teeth with his tongue.
What those vulgar bastards gave me. I wasn’t going to write about this one…
but snap!
It’s not the sound of teeth grinding.
It was the sound of a small jewel hidden in one’s teeth breaking.
Although he tried to avoid the current situation as much as possible, Lennon could not give up.
If we collapse here and now, the road to Gaju will become even more difficult and long.
‘There is no going back now.’
The mind that was engulfed in anger becomes clear.
The agitated feelings disappeared and the rough breathing also subsided.
Lennon looked at his opponent, feeling the energy of something instantly spreading through his body.
‘You will die here.’
* * *
“Lennon’s momentum has changed. It’s as if he has made up his mind…”
Delcid, who was watching the duel between Dio and Lennon, opened his mouth to Gunther next to him.
“Hmm…”
Delcid turned his attention back to the stadium, seeing Gunther not answering his question.
Gunther and Dalimus were close friends, but their sons, Delcid and Lennon, were not so close.
We only met a few times during our nose-draining days, and because the types of people we got along with were different, there was virtually no contact between the two.
This invitation was also given by Lennon as a formality, and Delcid had no intention of responding.
However, I was able to be here at the recommendation of my father, Gunther, who usually did not say much.
A sudden duel between Lennon and a mercenary who was active in Ox.
Lennon won the previous duel with ease, and Delcid saw with his own eyes that he was that talented.
‘If I had competed with Lennon, it would have been a good match.’
Delcid was quite impressed by Lennon’s skills, which he had heard through rumors.
It was clear that among the continent’s high-flying aristocrats, there were only a few who could compete with Lennon.
‘Of course I will win….’
Delcid’s evaluation of Lennon was exactly this.
However, it is impossible to guess the skill of the mercenary that Bertio’s genius, who possesses such great talent, is dealing with.
‘Diamond. Why have I never heard of this guy? As rumored, he is an incredibly talented person.’
It seemed like the rumor about using sword energy wasn’t completely false.
Delceed’s hands, clenched into fists, were filled with sweat as he got to see firsthand the mercenary’s ability to effortlessly block Lennon’s sword.
It was Delcid who had been taught directly by Gunther.
Lennon is great too, but he’s nothing compared to Diamond.
Even if you face him, you cannot be sure whether you will be able to win.
Lennon also felt this.
Delcid thought that Lennon had reached an even higher level due to Lennon’s determination to recognize that his opponent’s skills were not average.
The momentum he exudes feels like more power than he has shown so far.
In some ways, even more than myself.
“This is indeed the lineage of Bertio, who has protected the East for hundreds of years. Growing even in desperate situations…” “
…That’s not it.”
“yes?”
Delcid turned his head to Gunther, who denied what he said, and gave him a puzzled look.
“I didn’t jump over the wall on my own.”
“What is that?”
Instead of explaining in detail to Delcid, Gunther raised his head and headed somewhere.
Gunther’s gaze turned upward, and there he was, Dalimus, who had the same serious expression on his face as Gunther.
