Chapter 258 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [29] (1/2)

258. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [29]

I was suddenly engulfed by a strong bloodlust.

「Who is it!?」

I developed dark robe instantaneously, and quickly surveyed the surroundings.

However, there were no signs of anyone attacking.

On the contrary, that hideous bloodlust disappeared as quickly as it came.

(What the hell was that?)

A mass of dark emotions smeared in hatred and resentment.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been touched by such strong “negative emotions”.

(No way! Is it Dodriel again? …No, it’s not.)

The nature of his bloodlust is a little different.

When I was thinking about that,

「What is it all of a sudden, Allen?」

「What happened?」

Ria and Rose quickly pulled out their swords and became vigilant of their surroundings.

「By any chance, is it the Black Organization!?」

「Did you sense the presence of an enemy, Allen-kun?」

「But I can’t see them anywhere though…!」

The president and sempai quickly watched out in all directions, with their backs to each other.

Judging by their reactions, it seems that the bloodlust just now was directed only towards me.

(I see, the target this time is “only me”.)

After getting an overall grasp of the situation,

「Sorry to surprise everyone like that. I felt someone’s strong bloodlust just now, so I went on guard a little.」

I slowly sheathed my sword into its scabbard and erased the dark robe.

「…Bloodlust?」

「I didn’t feel anything at all though…」

Ria and Rose tilted their heads.

「The bloodlust was released only towards me for a split second. They must be considerably skilled.」

Someone other than us and Bacchus-san is lurking on this isolated island – lurking in the Country of Sakura, Cherin.
