Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 6Episode 6

As dawn broke, Dio opened his eyes with difficulty.

‘I thought my jaw was spinning.’

Unlike the game, Dio, who fully felt the fatigue of being homeless, massaged his shoulders.

However, Dio could not show his tired appearance, so he tried to pretend to be calm and stretched out.

After completing all preparations, the mercenaries and Clara silently came to Dio’s side.

Raymond still doesn’t like what happened yesterday and doesn’t let go of his grumpy expression.

However, the group, including him, agreed that Dio would act as a guide, so they were waiting for instructions.

Dio, who saw them, opened his mouth.

“We are going to the cave we talked about yesterday.”

At those words, the mercenaries began to whisper.

“Are you sure there really is a cave?”

“I’m proud to say that I’ve been around this area quite a bit, but I’ve never seen anything…” Even

though they said they were following Dio’s opinion, the mercenaries were still unclear.

Clara suddenly opened her mouth on their behalf.

“How can I get there?”

It’s pathetic to see Clara trying to prevent friction like yesterday.

The mercenaries who noticed this said nothing more and waited for Dio to open his mouth.

“this way.”

Dio spread the map on the floor and pointed the way forward with a tree branch.

“If you go northwest, you will find a stream. If you go towards the stream, you will be in the territory of a pack of werewolves. “There is a way to avoid that boundary.”

The mercenaries flinched at the mention of werewolves, but could not object even though they distrusted Dio’s words about avoiding them.

The die was cast the moment it was already decided to pass through Dunville Forest.

The D-class mercenaries had no choice but to completely trust and follow Dio in order to survive.

Gurgling –

I can hear the sound of water flowing in the stream.

When Dio arrived at the place he thought of, he glanced at Clara and raised his fist to signal everyone.

“for a moment. “I rest here.”

Clara was exhausted, so she stopped everyone and asked for a break.

“If you leave the stream, it is the werewolf’s territory, so acting alone is prohibited.”

Dio was just as exhausted as Clara, but he gave everyone a simple warning without showing it as much as possible.

It was really a good choice to accompany Clara on this mission.

Although it was different in reality, the mercenaries each took a break without any objection when Dio said that he would prioritize the protection of the client.

While Clara and an exhausted Clara were resting for a while, Raymond quietly got up from his seat.

Dio, who couldn’t miss that sight, looked at him and opened his mouth.

“Where should I go?”

“Should I even be allowed to do my business? Tsk.”

“Do not leave the place I have designated.”

“joy!”

Raymond snorted and walked away despite Dio’s warning.

Dio, who was watching his back, had a hunch.

Due to Raymond’s strong rebellious nature, he would not take his warning seriously.

But it’s okay.

Although others said it was a pack of werewolves, they would only encounter small patrols of werewolves around the stream.

‘Rather, it is an opportunity.’

Dio envisioned a situation where he could flatten the nose of Raymond, the leader of the mercenaries, and immediately began to prepare the mace.

-Ugh!

“what! what?”

“what’s the matter? Raymond!?”

All the mercenaries who were resting at Raymond’s screams were startled and jumped up.

[Party member Raymond is suffering from a bleeding condition.]

Dio said calmly after confirming that Raymond was suffering from a status abnormality.

“I told you to be careful like that.”

Dio, who was still working on his mace, showed no sign of getting up and opened his mouth to the mercenaries who were looking at him.

“What you looking at? I clearly warned you. Save it or not. “Just figure it out.”

As the strongest member of the group seemed to have no intention of moving, the mercenaries gritted their teeth and began to gather their own weapons.

“Um…what should I do?”

In response to Clara’s very frightened question, Dio nodded to his side.

“It’s stuck with me. “Because it will be the safest.”

“Yes…yes!”

The saying that it was the safest was something that was said not only to Clara but also to Dio himself, but there was no way the companions knew that.

The mercenaries, including Laika, also decided that it would be best for him to stick to the guard, so they hurriedly ran to Raymond.

‘But does that mean it’s over level 100?’

Dio muttered as he watched the mercenaries moving quickly.

He told him to mind his own words, but he thought it was an opportunity to show the mercenaries his status as an A-class mercenary, so he turned his head and looked at Clara.

“Let’s go too.”

“yes? Ah yes!”

Clara, who was full of worry at Dio’s words, quickly nodded and they slowly headed towards the path the mercenaries had taken.

Dio didn’t have the ability to chase after them.

With a gait that feigned leisure, he slowly moved towards the place where the situation occurred, with Clara clinging to him in fear.

‘The composition of the search party is at least one. ‘At most three.’

Dio comes up with a simulation according to the situation.

Considering the skills of Raymond and the mercenaries, I judged that they would not be easily defeated by two or three werewolves.

“Is it okay if I don’t go fast?”

“it’s okay. “They are also D-class mercenaries.”

After reassuring Clara, Dio was soon able to spot the mercenaries wreaking havoc.

[A party member is confronting a werewolf.]

[Werewolf/Normal monster/Lv. 124]

‘There are two werewolves. Everyone is at full health and Raymond’s stamina has decreased a bit.’

Raymond grabs his left arm and screams at the werewolf.

“What a bastard!”

Mercenaries and two werewolves were fighting to protect him.

“Kill!”

“Ha!”

The mercenaries were divided appropriately and were counterattacking brilliantly, blocking the werewolves’ sharp claws and teeth.

There is no business in Dagul.

Although the werewolf’s level was higher than that of the mercenaries, the difference was not that much, so it seemed to be resolved without difficulty.

But that’s not all the true value of werewolves is.

They are doing well now, but if the Werewolf’s unique ‘skill’ is activated, it will be difficult for even the mercenaries to deal with them without serious injury.

In order to aim for that timing, Dio watched the mercenaries’ battle calmly, but did not let go of his nerves.

“omg! omg!”

“good! Cheer up a little more!”

“Push it in!”

The mercenaries are getting increasingly tired.

The werewolf that was fighting them suddenly lowered its posture and its eyes began to glow red.

Now!

“Everyone step back.”

Dio left Clara to look after Raymond’s injuries and joined the mercenaries confronting the werewolf.

“What are you talking about? “We are winning!”

The mercenaries expressed their anger at Dio, who suddenly intervened in a situation where victory was secured.

-Krrrrr….

However, their anger was petty compared to the werewolf’s anger, which had become even fiercer.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?”

“This is dangerous!”

“Hi!”

The momentum of the mercenaries was immediately broken by the Werewolf’s momentum, which was completely different from before.

Faced with the true power of the predator, the mercenaries instinctively felt danger and retreated.

“Huh…?”

“be careful!”

Kagagagak-!

The werewolf’s sharp claws, whose eyes turned red, struck the mercenary’s shield.

Not only was it enough to break the solid shield in two, but the huge jaw, drooling like a mad dog, headed towards the mercenary’s head.

“Hi-!”

bang!

A mercenary who tightly shuts his eyes as a werewolf demonstrates incredible strength.

But it’s strange.

Why haven’t his teeth… reached them yet?

“her… “Huh?”

When the mercenary opened his eyes, to his surprise, he looked over his shoulder and saw a mace stuck in the mouth of the werewolf.

“Move.”

Dio, the owner of the mace, pushed away the mercenary who was trembling in fear, grabbed the werewolf, and slammed him to the ground.

Kwaang-!

[The werewolf was defeated.]

‘It’s fortunate that I recorded the strength stat.’

Dio pretends to be calm and pushes away the body of a werewolf that died instantly.

The mercenaries don’t know.

The werewolf is now making its last struggle before dying.

The demonic beast’s unique skill ‘Berserk’.

When they reach a near-death state, they receive the berserk buff used by Berserker players.

The physical abilities of monsters that have been berserk increased dramatically, making them difficult to deal with.

But the solution was surprisingly simple.

Run away until the berserk buff disappears.

Or, use ‘Purification Herb’, which can dispel the beast’s exclusive berserk, to dispel the buff.

That’s it.

This principle was the reason why the werewolf that had just touched the mace seemed to have died instantly.

This is because the berserk skill, which allows you to maintain action in a near-death state, has been dispelled.

‘When I was a newbie who didn’t know about these characteristics, it was difficult to deal with monsters with berserk skills.’

However, this is not a problem for Dio, who now knows the exact strategy for berserk.

No, it was actually easy to deal with.

A ‘established pattern’ caused by photobombing.

In the case just now, Dio didn’t catch up with the werewolf’s speed.

Because it is a pattern that D.O clearly remembers, he was able to cope well even at a slower pace.

“Everyone get out of the way.”

Dio said, turning his mace as if he was annoyed.

The mercenaries, who had experienced the power of the Werewolf, which was emitting ferocious force before their eyes, retreated hastily, as if they had been waiting for those words.

When only Dio was left in front of the werewolf, another guy in berserk mode rushed towards Dio.

A movement that cannot be compared to when fighting mercenaries!

As a level 10 Dio, he didn’t dare to follow, but he wasn’t worried.

It’s not necessarily a gamble that risks one’s life.

Werewolf’s movements.

Since I have experienced it countless times, I just need to move ahead.

Anticipating inevitable actions and moving locations in advance more than made up for the 100-level difference in speed.

bang!

Dio avoided the werewolf’s charge with just one gesture.

Afterwards, Dio raised his mace, which was heavily coated with purifying herbs, towards the werewolf heading to the empty ground.

In exchange for gaining strength, Berserker also takes away the caster’s consciousness.

Even if the stupid monsters go berserk, they are just monsters that are easier for Dio to deal with.

puck-!

Dio’s mace hit the spine of the werewolf that looked backwards, and immediately the efficacy of the purifying plant began to dominate the werewolf’s body.

A werewolf comes back to its senses.

At that point, the werewolf was as good as dead.

However, Dio did not miss that moment and swung the mace in a show-like manner.

puck-!

once.

puck-!

twice.

Wow! seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Mace didn’t stop even after the werewolf collapsed.

The werewolf that had gone berserk was as good as dead even if left alone, but Dio lightly swung his mace to the side and cracked its head.

thud!

Without a moment to scream, the werewolf’s head was crushed and the werewolf’s movements completely stopped.

Huh-! Patter.

Dio brushed the blood off his mace with one motion, and the companions just watched him with a dumbfounded expression.

In reality, the werewolf attacked Dio while he was holding a mace and committed suicide.

However, in the eyes of others, Dio’s skills seemed genuine.

[The werewolf was defeated.]

[3620 experience points were obtained.]

[3620 experience points were obtained.]

[Experience points do not apply because I did not change jobs.]

‘Tsk.’

If I had just changed jobs, it would have been an opportunity to gain a lot of experience.

Dio felt sick when he missed the chance to make a big hit.

However, Dio returned to the group pretending to be calm.

He raised his eyebrows as he looked at Clara, who was using her holy powers to heal the injured Raymond.

“It seems like the roles have been reversed as I am receiving help from the client. thank you Priest. “I will pay the treatment fee separately later.”

“yes? Ah… no! “You don’t have to.”

“no. It is a reasonable payment. Moreover, the reason Raymond got hurt was my fault for choosing a dangerous path. “Are you okay there, Raymond?”

In fact, a large share of the fault lay with Raymond, who did not listen to Dio’s words and went outside the border.

Nevertheless, he is an A-class mercenary who does not show it and says it is his fault.

At this, Raymond immediately remembered a story he had heard a long time ago going around among mercenaries.

-The fundamentals are different for Class A mercenaries.

Raymond thought they were just arrogant and drunk on ratings.

But that wasn’t it.

I was finally able to understand that it was not just a simple difference in grade, but the ‘fundamental’ itself was different.

Did they say that hearing a hundred times is worse than seeing once?

Now Raymond withdrew his crooked gaze and answered in a tone full of respect.

“Uh no… Yes bro! I’m really sorry! I’ll be careful to make sure something like this doesn’t happen next time!”

‘As planned.’

On the other hand, Dio just smiled inwardly as things worked out just as he had planned.
