Chapter 140
Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 140
Episode 140:
Galleto Houndstooth stood in front of Dio and stared into his eyes without saying a word.
‘I expected the sprouts to be yellow, but it was beyond my imagination. ‘I never thought I’d become this strong in such a short period of time.’
The power Dio used in this battle was only one sum.
However, the size of the power contained in that one sum was so great that it excited Galletto.
Dio’s firing technique, which struck from a distance, literally destroyed the army of demonic beasts that filled the entrance to the demonic realm.
Of course, we had to take into account the fact that it was an attack immediately after mobilizing other magic.
Just looking at this, Galletto could no longer view Dio as a child that could be ignored.
Galletto recalled receiving instructions from Kaleyna in the southern diocese.
-There are people who put forward a false god called the sun. Deal with him secretly.
After reading the saint’s instructions, Galletto willingly participated in this mission, but not because he was satisfied with the mission given by the saint.
The only thing he is looking forward to is a confrontation with strong men he does not know in this Eastern Allied Force, including Acrich in the Demon World.
The young one he saw in front of his eyes, which he had encountered in the Kalekh Forest, had not been of interest to Galetto from the beginning.
I don’t know if he will grow up later, but I never thought that Galeto would become strong enough to satisfy himself in a short period of time.
But he was wrong.
Dio’s skills in dealing with this army of demonic beasts were real.
Galletto could not hold back the fighting spirit that burned at this.
There was an order from the saint to proceed with work while avoiding people’s eyes as much as possible, but Galletto had no intention of keeping that order from the beginning.
Because I wasn’t interested in the punishment of Dio, whom I thought was a child, in the first place.
But it’s different now.
As long as the opponent’s strength burned his fighting spirit, the saint’s orders were good.
“Would you like to see some skills?”
A berserker who knows nothing but fighting.
Is there an expression that suits him so well?
The moment when Galletto raised his fist towards Dio, as if expressing with his whole body that there was no option to refuse in the first place.
“Hey bro.”
Galletto turned his head when someone spoke to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
There are not many people within the Allied Forces who can stop Galletto, who is obsessed with winning.
But what I’m talking about with Galleto now is that he is included in that few groups.
Mercenary King Agram.
“The commander must be tired too, so let’s get on well.”
Agram looked at Galleto and grinned.
* * *
Dio sighed as he looked at Agram, who seemed freer than anyone else.
One of the five swordsmen who were thought to be dead.
An entity that could possibly be the biggest variable in this expedition.
Dio, who was thinking about how to deal with Galleto, was able to escape Galleto’s attention thanks to Agram.
“Kkkkkk. okay. I’ve heard your story a lot too. “Then will you deal with me?”
Galeto was also well aware of the mercenary king’s reputation, so he faced him with his fighting spirit still burning.
Although Galeto was one head taller, Agram’s momentum against him was no match for Galeto.
“I’m sorry. I’m a little tired too. “Unlike others who stayed still.”
Contrary to his momentum as he faced Galeto on equal footing, Agram took a step back, pointing to the hem of his clothes, which were dirty with the beast’s blood and dust.
Galletto answered him.
“It doesn’t look like there are any major injuries, so it doesn’t matter, right?”
“What are you talking about? I’m dying from pain. “Do you want to have a fight with the injured person?”
“….”
Agram put a cigarette in his mouth and slyly pretended to be sick, leaving Galeto speechless.
“What a coward. “The steam has leaked.”
Galeto’s fighting spirit weakened, as if he had cooled off due to Agram’s meddling.
However, the flame of fighting spirit that had not yet disappeared was still looking at Dio and Agram.
“Let’s see how long we can avoid it.”
Galletto snorted and turned back.
After confirming that Galletto had completely disappeared from sight, Agram exhaled deeply the cigarette smoke he had inhaled and approached Dio.
“Haha, I almost died. “I heard that guy is hot-tempered, so I didn’t expect him to back down so easily.”
“Thank you for your help.”
“What between us?”
Agram, who pretended to be friendly just because he saw him some time ago, put his arm around Dio’s shoulder and hugged him like a good old man.
“They say he’s a mercenary and he has excellent commanding skills? “Are you from a military background?”
“I’m not without experience.”
Dio did not specifically deny Agram’s words.
It was good for Dio to make wild guesses, and it was true that he served in the military for nearly two years in the original world.
“We’ll have to camp here for a while, right? “You have to take care of everything and everyone will be tired.”
“Why are you asking me that? “The prince is here.”
“Haha, why are you doing this? “I already know that you roasted and boiled the prince.”
“Bake and boil? “It sounds like such a big deal.”
Dio shook his head at Agram’s words.
Even though Agram’s guess is true on the inside, he cannot show it on the outside.
Anyway, as he said, it is necessary to take care of the by-products from the corpses of demonic beasts and undead.
It’s not about Dio, it’s about the guilds and mercenaries who participated in this coalition.
Because one of the things they wanted was these things.
“Now we have to enter barefoot, so what are the nobles going to do? “Well, our prince seems to be strong.”
Agram was an experienced person who had been to the Demonic Sutra before.
So, you have no choice but to know that after the beginning, you cannot take the horses carrying the luggage.
It was natural that, unlike the Allied Forces, the animals would not be able to withstand the demonic energy rising from the demonic realm.
“But since there are wizards, it will be okay.”
The only way to achieve minimum supply is to make the most of the magicians’ subspace.
However, they cannot all take care of the supplies that will sustain the Allied Forces.
With this in mind, a significant number of porters also came with us, so we didn’t mind going deep.
“I’m just saying this because it’s just the two of us…”
Agram opened his mouth quietly, looking around as if there was a good reason for approaching him as if he was friendly.
“The treasures of the Demonic World you mentioned. “Really?”
“of course.”
“how is it? “If you give a little more attention to our mercenary group, I think I can push you like I just did.”
Dio chuckled at Agram’s suggestion.
Because I knew long ago that he would make this offer to me.
Agram believed that if Dio showed trust in Prion, he could secretly take away the treasures obtained in battle and hand them over to his ‘Black Fang’.
Of course, the inference was true.
“It will be quite a bit, do you mind?”
“We have plenty of wizards and porters.”
When Dio responded positively, Agram’s smile widened as if he had expected that to happen.
Agram’s suggestion was not bad for Dio, but there was a catch.
Agram is called a master negotiator and enjoys playing with words.
Like the Luna Church, it is an offer to provide strength when friction arises, but he did not say that he would directly intervene in the event of an armed conflict.
They may pretend to be the same force on the outside, but if the situation is not good or the power is tilted, they can join the other side at any time.
So Dio needed to secure Agram’s negotiations.
Among the forces in the current Allied Forces that Dio must lead to his side, excluding the prince and the five swords.
Agram’s ‘Black Fang’ mercenary group was the strongest.
Instead of just making fun of words like this, I had to work hard to force Agram to take my side.
“Mr. Agram. “How about we make sure?”
“hmm? “What do you mean?”
When Dio lowered the arm on his shoulder and opened his mouth, Agram received his words with a puzzled expression.
“I’ll make you an offer I can’t refuse.”
Dio knew everything about Agram’s personality and tendencies in detail.
As negotiations with Agram began in earnest, Dio smiled to himself.
As he said, Agram will never refuse his offer.
* * *
Because he needed to have an in-depth conversation with Agram, Dio was a little far away from the camp where the Allied forces were preparing.
After completing the negotiations neatly, Agram left first.
And Dio also tried to leave at a different time, but couldn’t.
This is because someone aimed a cold metal object at his neck.
“Do you have anything to do?”
Dio opened his mouth in a completely unfazed voice even though a dagger was pointed at his neck.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
Elaine’s angry voice rang in Dio’s ears.
“Let’s put this away and talk.”
At Dio’s request, Elaine actually put more strength into the hand holding the dagger.
‘I know that the saint is aiming for my head. But that’s not the reason now.’
Dio realized that Elaine, who was currently visiting him, was not on mission for the church but on personal business.
Otherwise, all three of the five swords would have approached.
Moreover, even though he left the camp briefly to talk to Agram, the Allied Forces are right in front of him.
If we attack here, it will only be a matter of time before everyone finds out.
Nevertheless, Elaine approached Dio.
This meant that she had something to ask him, and Elaine got straight to the point.
“The power you use. “What on earth is that power?”
“I told you. “It’s the power of the sun.”
“okay. The power of that damn sun. “How did you get it?”
Dio could feel Elaine’s rough breathing every time she spoke.
Dio cannot know to what extent Elaine knows about the sun.
But there is one thing that is clear about this.
The reason Elaine was so angry.
This was because he realized that the power of the sun that Dio had just shown was the power shown by someone who betrayed his people.
The person who betrayed his people is none other than the person who took everything from the elves.
Crassus, the one who burned the World Tree.
‘Elain definitely wanted to kill Crassus.’
Dio knows that Elaine is following Crassus.
There is also a quest in the game where the player can help Elaine find the footsteps of Crassus.
It is natural that Crassus is the enemy of all elves.
In this situation, Elaine becomes so excited when she discovers someone with the same power as Crassus.
“Tell me right now! That power! “Where did you get that?”
While Dio doesn’t answer and just rolls his eyes.
Sigh-!
A dagger flew from somewhere.
It’s not just that level of throwing.
The strong energy in the dagger scared even Elaine.
Kang!
In order to block this, Elaine had no choice but to shake off Dio and forcefully strike away the flying dagger.
“Tch, who is disturbing me!”
Elaine shouted.
Then a man appeared, making an incomprehensible noise.
“Hey, you really came here, right?”
After finishing the story, it was Agram who I thought had returned to the mercenaries.
However, it looked quite different from when he blocked Galletto.
His weapon that he did not draw when confronting Galleto.
But now, Agram, who would not be surprised to go into battle at any time, had a long long sword in his hand.
Agram pointed his sword at Elaine and opened his mouth.
“Hey elf sister. “If that friend gets hurt, I’ll be in trouble. Why don’t you play with me instead?”
