354. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [125]


    「Too slow! Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style – Consecutive Sakura Flash!」


    Bacchus-san immediately turned around and unleashed a series of flash-like thrusts.


    The delicate and powerful thrusts broke through all the sand swords.


    「Guh!?」


    A number of wounds were carved into Von’s body.


    After receiving a painful counterattack, Von jumped far back and quietly regained his breath.


    (A-Amazing…)


    Not a mop, but a real sword. Not a match, but a death battle.


    Bacchus-san’s presence, who was now standing in a real battlefield, was overwhelming.


    「Hey, Von bro! You are supposed to hold down that monster! I almost died!」


    Deal, who received a smiting blow to the body, protested with a serious expression unusual for him.


    I don’t know if he has a robust body, or some sort of hidden ability, but… he was still unharmed.


    Not paying a slight attention to Deal’s protest, Von was completely focussed on Bacchus-san.


    「…I’m surprised. To think you still possess that kind of strength at this age, even while riddled with a disease… As expected of the swordsman who was once hailed as the strongest in the world, I suppose.」


    「If I was at my prime, you two would be corpses by now, but… dear me, getting old sucks.」


    The two held their swords at the ready while expressing their thoughts.
