E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 23 - The Truth

Immediately after removing the lifeless body of number 52, the Soldiers approached the number 30 lying limp.

There is no power to fight back.

They turned around the body of Number 30 easily.

What they saw was a cloth bag containing something big.

A wide smile adorned the faces of all the soldiers.

"Gold is this big.... Isn't Baron Gilbert going to elevate us to Knights with this?!"

"Haha! You're right!"

"What about this guy?"

"Kill him!"

One of the soldiers immediately took the cloth. From the weight alone, they were very sure that the gold chunks were very expensive.

The other soldier drew his sword and thrust it several times into the chest of the number 30 mercilessly.

'Jleb! Jem! Jelb!'

No match for Number 30. He was silent with his mouth wide open. Blood slowly flowed through his body.

"Buahaha! And finally! We'll get a promotion!"

"Let's come back soon. I'm horrified by the mine's situation."

"You're right...."

But nevertheless....

Without them thinking....

"Yoo. Are you content to snatch stones and kill corpses?" Said a man who suddenly appeared at the door of the mine passageway.

The man had brownish hair with brown eyes. His clothes were just a piece of brown cloth but he looked completely cold.

In his right hand, he carried a bag made of pieces of the clothes of the dead.

"Huh? Whoareyou? Whatdoyouwant?" Asked one of the soldiers in an arrogant tone.

However, hearing the man's words, the soldier carrying the chunk immediately opened the package to make sure.

And in fact, what He had just picked up was just an ordinary piece of rock.

Feeling annoyed, the five Warriors immediately drew their swords and ran towards the mysterious Man.

Their superiority is huge.

In terms of numbers.

In terms of strength.

In terms of equipment.

In fact they removed their only weakness: darkness with torches.

But in reality, that would be the end for them.

The brown-haired mysterious man immediately threw the cloth bag containing something towards the Soldiers. Without hesitation, he immediately ran away from there.

Probably because of the fear of the strength of those soldiers.

The bag that was not tightly closed was opened and released a lot of yellowish powder and chunks.

Everything spreads in different directions.

And when it hit one of those soldiers' torches....

'BLAAAARRR!!!'

A big enough explosion occurred.

Destroy everything around him. Even the fire and explosion had thrown the figure of the mysterious brown-haired man a few meters away.

The outcome?

'Tap 'em! Aap!'

The brown-haired man returned to the direction of the explosion, approaching the figure of the five Warriors whose bodies had now been smashed.

All but one, were seen alive with only the upper half of his body.

However, with this cold temperature, he was no longer able to do anything.

At that moment....

'Bruuukk!'

"How does it feel, when your own life is threatened?" Said the brown-haired man while stepping on the Warrior's head.

The look in his eyes was very cold, as if there was absolutely no feeling of fear or regret after doing this just now.

While the expression on his own face looks quite flat. There is no hate in it. There is no anger in it.

Or at least.... That's what it looks like.

"You-you.... Who are...."

"I? My name is Dimas, but maybe you know me better as number 30."

Hearing that, the face of the dying Soldier looked so shocked as if he could not believe what he had just heard.

And sure enough, the man in front of him was not wearing a number board at all.

A sword....

Which they used to kill 'workers' as they pleased.

......***......

Go back a few dozen minutes ago....

Shortly after Dimas asked number 52 to take food with gold grains, Dimas himself was very confident that number 52 would not do it.

The reason is very simple.

Everyone is starving. They won't share food with anyone else.

Moreover, Dimas who gives gold through the number 52, of course, will get a larger food ration.

But that's not enough.

To make his opponent move according to his wishes, Dimas performed a bit of a charade.

The first thing he did was pretend to feel weak after breaking the iron chain. Makes his opponents feel much more confident that they will win if things get precarious.

More than that, Dimas added another play that He held something precious in his cloth bag.

A pretty big lump.

If aligned with himself who always gave up gold during this time, of course someone will feel suspicious that maybe Dimas does have a gold supply to relax.

And that is, the chunk whose real figure is just an ordinary stone can turn into gold.

At this time, Dimas considered 2 possibilities.

The first possibility is that number 52 will seize it right then and there.

While the second possibility is number 52 will call for help to seize it, or exchange it for something more valuable. For example, freedom or food in large quantities.

In order to get rid of the first opportunity, Dimas deliberately showed off his power to destroy the chain.

One is to prove his strength. While two is to make it clear that he will be able to move more freely if the fight takes place because it no longer has a chain that bends it.

Everything was in accordance with his plan.

Number 52 betrayed him and sold his gold for freedom.

Therefore, Dimas prepared his next plan.

Whatever happens, he won't survive the very cold blizzard with just a thin sheet of cloth even though it's getting warmer.

He needed something more reliable.

And the equipment of those soldiers was the perfect thing. That's why he has to get it.

Fortunately, Dimas had not only been mining like a slave who had no choice. He roamed the mine into an area unknown to even other workers.

And in that place, he found something far more precious than gold.

It's a chunk of sulfur.

It was quite flammable and exploded. But that's not enough. Dimas immediately used his Enchanting skill to raise that attribute to a higher level.

The outcome?

A chunk that is highly explosive, and will produce a large explosion when exposed to fire.

Dimas slightly crushed it to allow it to spread when thrown.

But the problem is one.

He needs a stage for all this.

But fortunately, the entire stage property was already available. The cast? Dimas could use anyone's body to replace him.

The use of numbers as names is also a big drawback. With that, a person's identity is completely determined by that number.

If Dimas put his number on someone else, without showing his face, then everyone would believe that that person was him.

And that's what he did.

Dimas dragged someone's body and put his number on it and threw the person's number away. Including giving him a cloth containing the chunk of stone.

That way, he had obtained the perfect stunt double.

Now what is needed by him....

Just waiting for the right moment.

The stage has been set up. The story has been told.

And the last one....The actor has moved according to his estimates.

The result is now.

Dimas confiscated all equipment that was still intact after receiving the explosion. Thick leather clothes worn over her thin cloth clothes.

Then the iron armor is worn on it again. From the feet to the head. Dimas covered himself with iron.

Not only that, Dimas also snatched a sword that was still in good condition.

And with that, the preparation is done.

Along with a bag of bones as his backup food, Dimas was ready to leave this mine forever.

In accordance with his plan.
