Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 31
Episode 31
Boom –
Tusk, who was trying to push Dio’s knee off, lost his strength and his arm hit the floor.
It only takes 3 seconds for Tusk to faint.
Even if it has strong physical strength, it would be difficult for even a Tusk to withstand attacks using joints.
“boss!”
After confirming that she was completely unconscious, Dio stood up and immediately turned his attention again to the gang rushing towards him.
The remnants of the gang couldn’t stand by and watch as Tusk was attacked.
“plaguy.”
Pububuk –
Small daggers thrown from Dio’s arms.
Because they were not just simple daggers but rare-grade throwing daggers, their power was enormous.
“Gagging!”
“Kaaak!”
Now that Tusk had been subdued, there was no one among the remaining subordinates who could be called Dio’s opponent.
Dio, who had taken control of the scene in an instant, sat down next to the stunned Tusk and looked down at her.
“Whoa, it’s not that easy.”
A fight that wouldn’t have been easy if it weren’t for the impulse set.
Of course, the level gap cannot be ignored just because the item is good, but if the gap is at Tusk level, Dio decided that he could never lose.
“Can you say you have become stronger at this level?”
Dio, who was muttering to himself, remembered the first time he was alone in Evra Village.
At that time, I was impatient and worried about Raymond, who was much weaker than Tusk, but now he has grown to this point.
“…not there yet.”
This level is just beyond the beginner level in the game.
Dio, once again realizing that his situation had become reality rather than a game, shook his head.
Even though Tusk has been subdued, there are numerous stronger enemies on the order board.
In order to survive, you must run towards higher and higher places.
“I don’t know how Raymond is doing.”
Dio, who was waiting for the fainted Tusk to wake up, suddenly became curious about Raymond’s well-being.
“You must be living well.”
* * *
“Kwaaaaaaa! stop!”
A scream echoes in a dark room like a dungeon.
The owner of the scream was a mercenary.
His entire body was covered in blood, as if he had been tortured numerous times.
Raymond of Evra Village.
It was the identity of the mercenary being tortured.
He seemed to be out of his mind from the pain, and eventually he seemed to have run out of strength to scream, so his head hung down and he didn’t even move.
It wasn’t just Raymond.
The mercenaries who followed him were also tied to chairs and either dead or unconscious.
Those who were suffocated after being water tortured, and even mercenaries who had their fingers and toes cut off, starting with their fingernails and toenails.
All kinds of internal organs were removed and the blood flowing down was like an ocean filling the room.
In a scene where terrible torture takes place that no human being with a sober mind can endure.
Tap, tap, tap.
The sound of heavy military boots was heard.
“Are you here? Scarlett.”
A person who appeared to be a torture technician greeted a woman who came to the scene.
Heavy military boots and a neat nun’s uniform.
In addition to the unbalance, the golden rosary around her neck seemed to indicate that she was in a high position.
“Did you find out anything?”
The woman called Scarlett removed the pipe from her mouth and asked.
It was an alluring voice that did not match the nun’s uniform.
“I don’t think there was anything more, other than the fact that they left in a carriage after the wave ended.”
A torture technician with high military discipline.
He was afraid of being reprimanded by Scarlett, so he tried to open the mouths of the mercenaries.
The proof is that the room was filled with blood.
Is it because he knows that?
Rather than frowning at the terrible sight she saw from the moment she entered the torture room, Scarlett showed a satisfied face.
“What did you find out about the coachman?”
“yes! It is said that he asked about the situation in the empire. “After hearing that story, he suddenly asked me to get off in the middle of Paramont Plain.”
Scarlett approached Raymond, who was lost in thought and unconscious after hearing the information obtained by the torture technician.
“I guess it all boils down in the end to being loyal or something?”
“Yes, this guy was stubborn until the end and eventually threw up. “As long as I can endure it, I guess.”
Scarlett burst out laughing at the torture technician’s words.
“Please save me…”
Raymond, half conscious, begged as Scarlett’s laughter filled the room.
The pain that arose after numerous tortures gave him a fear he did not want to experience again, and it was like an instinct to ask him to save his life.
Scarlett, seeing Raymond like that, began to laugh even more.
“Is this the loyalty of those humble mercenaries? “Isn’t it really funny?”
“yes? “Oh yes.”
Scarlett brushed the cigarette ash off Raymond’s head and looked around at the other mercenaries who were dying miserably.
“If you stick to the belief of loyalty, the only thing that will come in the end will be pain…” The
torture technician was horrified to see Scarlett trying to enjoy this moment, but he did not have the guts to show it.
Squeak-
“Scarlett! “The jeonseogu sent from Atra has arrived.”
Another of Scarlett’s subordinates came to the hellish scene and delivered the news.
“okay?”
Scarlett accepted the parchment handed to her by her subordinate and began to read it slowly.
‘The traces of the explosion are said to match that of Monster Hunter Monte, although the level of the mercenary is low…’
The parchment sent from the holy nation of Atra contained what the priest of the branch experienced in the Rivernos underground waterway.
Although it wasn’t exactly the same, it had many things in common with Monte, the monster hunter whom Scarlett was tracking down.
You definitely need to find it.
‘It’s Rivernos… If we catch the guy we found here, we can find out about Monte. There’s a chance it could be Monte himself.’
After organizing her thoughts, Scarlett looked at her subordinates who were waiting for her orders.
“Organize everything. “Let’s finish this guy too.”
“All right.”
Scarlett said, pointing at Raymond, and the torture technician who had been ordered approached Raymond.
“I told you I would save your life…”
Raymond sobbed as he looked at the knife with blood dripping from it.
Scarlett left that scene behind and trudged on, putting the pipe that had just cooled down in her mouth again and lighting it.
“I told you I would spare your life if you told me everything!!”
Scarlett ignores the cries of a distraught Raymond.
She had already lost interest in Raymond a long time ago.
“We are going to River North.”
“yes!”
“Oh, no. “Ah…kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
* * *
Inside the huge warehouse that is the home of Gore Howl.
Inside, which was sealed off with a solid iron door, the corpses of Gore Howl gang members were laid out in a mess.
Meanwhile, Dio opened his mouth while facing Tusk, who had just woken up, on the sofa.
“Are you awake?”
“…Why didn’t you kill him?”
Tusk said while massaging his neck and glaring at Dio.
“I told you, right? “I came here to talk, not to destroy GoreHowl.”
Dio pointed to the Gore Howl gang who were kneeling.
In reality, Dio only dealt with enough gang members to reach level 90.
If Gore Howl completely collapses at his hands, his future work may be disrupted.
“Conversation…yeah. “What do you want?”
Tusk is clearly showing off his skills and becoming obedient.
Dio, who knew the nature of northerners who take submission by force for granted, worked well.
“As you know, Sigmund plans to unify the back alleys through me. But I don’t like being a hassle, right? What will I do if I unify the back alleys? “Are you telling me to take care of all that?”
“…Then shouldn’t I just refuse?”
“It’s not as easy as it sounds, so I’m looking for a way.”
Dio pounded the table in front of him at Tusk’s blunt words.
“I like you. “You’re from the North, right?”
“….”
“I visited Golden Dawn first, but they are not trustworthy at all. “I knew at a glance that he was just a bat-like guy who kept his head down and would stab me at any time.”
“Kkkkk, I see what you mean.”
“yes?”
Tusk nodded and agreed with Dio’s explanation as if he understood.
The first visit to Golden Dawn was a build-up intended for this purpose.
Although he said he visited Golden Dawn without any reason or justification, he actually found justification by visiting there.
This justification is that Dio’s previous actions are like a great side dish in appeasing Tusk.
“You unify the back alleys instead of me.”
“what?”
Dio smiled as he looked at Tusk, who looked surprised by his words.
“I will help you. “You know what I mean when I say Sigmund is my friend, right?”
“Is that possible?”
“of course. “For Sigmund, I will unify you and you will become the true ruler of the back alleys that you have always dreamed of.”
Tusk’s pupils began to shake at Dio’s words.
How she dreamed of unifying the back alleys.
The reason why Gore Howl and Golden Dawn had been fighting over their wits was because their powers were equal, but there was a bigger problem than that.
That is the existence of Sigmund.
Even if the back alley forces were unified, the best knight in Rivernos would not sit still.
This is because noble nobles would not want a dictatorial system.
However, what D.O. proposed now was the best proposal that could completely solve the problem.
I never once thought about leaving Sigmund behind.
No, it’s something I can’t even dare to think about.
‘Take Sigmund like that? If that happens, not only the entire knighthood, but perhaps even the lord…’
Tusk’s thinking circuit stopped at this unbelievable suggestion.
Why hasn’t she, who doesn’t like to use her head, come forward until now?
“I’ll show you how. If you do what I tell you, it’s only a matter of time before you become the king of the alley. Instead, I should have my share, right?”
Dio says that nothing is free.
However, Tusk could not hide his excitement at Dio’s greed.
The scent of the same kind emanating from this mercenary man in front of me.
‘This guy is real!’
There are two types of people that Tusk believes in.
One is a person who is greedy for power and the other is a person who is greedy for money.
Tusk confirmed that Dio was both.
“The ratio is 5:5. “It’s just half.”
“Half of that?”
“I gave this a lot too. Instead, cook everything you eat without your knowledge. “I will turn a blind eye to it.”
“….”
Upon hearing Dio’s additional words, Tusk’s eyes were filled with greed.
I heard that Golden Dawn is in the business of illegally distributing expensive relics.
Just by taking advantage of that business alone, Gore Haul’s profits will double.
Moreover, it was clear that if he no longer had to worry about Sigmund, Tusk himself would be able to accelerate the business he had been doing so far.
Tusk was a man who dismissed the idea of people trusting others as nonsense.
The reason he came down from his hometown was because he couldn’t understand the stupid people who thought that dying while fighting was the most honorable thing.
People only believe in money.
It was natural for Tusk to decide to believe not in the man named Dio in front of him, but in the money he offered.
“That offer. “I accept it.”
After thinking about it, Tusk nodded and Dio stood up, satisfied.
“Well then, I’ll tell you how.”
Dio went behind Tusk, who was sitting on the sofa, and placed his hand on her shoulder.
“The first one is…”
Dio started, looking around at the Gore Howl gang who were paying attention to him, and Tusk also listened and swallowed his saliva.
“We are planting a bomb in the square.”
