Chapter 269 Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [40]

About five minutes have passed since Bacchus-san lost consciousness.

「Uuh…」

He groaned painfully and slowly raised his upper body.

「Bacchus-san! Are you okay!?」

「Haa, haa, I’m alright now… Sorry for worrying you.」

He sat cross-legged and slowly adjusted his breath.

(…His resilience is really amazing.)

Colour returned to his face which was deathly pale just a little while ago.

I had been worrying about his condition, but looking at this appearance, he seems to be doing alright.

「Grandfather, please drink some water.」

Rose handed out Bacchus-san’s personal water bottle.

「Oh, thanks!」

He gulped down the water so quickly that it spilled all over him.

「Puha… Man, I was truly surprised! The last time I fought with my life on the line was half a century ago! Barararara!」

Bacchus-san laughed heartily.

「So… about that… How was it?」

I nervously asked about the fight with Zeon.

「Yeah, I can’t do it. I can never win.」

He shook his head slowly, and shrugged his shoulders.

「In my prime it would be a different story, but… with this body of mine, which is ravaged by incurable disease, getting killed is the best I can do.」

「If it’s in your prime, would you have been able to beat Zeon?」

「Well, to be honest, I can’t say for sure. Because both of us have something impeding us.」

Bacchus-san rubbed his white beard with a difficult expression and continued to talk.
