Chapter 272. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [43]

Bacchus-san, who talked about the purpose of the hermit of time, turned a sharp glance towards me for some reason.

I felt an indescribable pressure from him, and tried to move along the conversation.

「Child of Destruction?」

「Aa, yes. A child of fate with the terrible power to destroy the order and balance of the world and turn the world “upside down”. The hermit of time is searching for that child in a frenzy.」

「What is the hermit of time going to do when he finds the Child of Destruction?」

「Who knows, I wasn’t told beyond that. Because it is something I heard a very long time ago.」

He said, scratching his head.

「Which means, there is someone else who knows more details about the 100 Million Year button?」

「Yeah. However, it feels so nostalgic now. He was a strange man who knew about all sorts of things.」

Bacchus-san began to talk slowly with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

「About 150 years ago, I went on a warrior’s journey to find a swordsman stronger than myself. At that time, I was at my prime, possessing substantial physical strength and vitality. Those days, when I swung my sword, the seas parted in two, the skies tore apart, tens of thousands of swordsmen fell! I was the very definition of invincible and brute valour! Bararararara!」

He laughed heartily while speaking of his heroic tales.

「Tens of thousands of people?」

Isn’t that a little too exaggerated?

「It is all true! In all my life, I have never lied!」

He patted me on the back and continued on.

「While I was wandering around every corner of the world, I met a certain swordsman at the Principality of Teresia. He was a young man with a slender build, but his swordsmanship was terrifyingly sharp. Even after cutting at each other for three days and three nights without a rest, we never reached a conclusion. Even now when I close my eyes, I can remember it like it happened just yesterday. I really enjoyed that sword fight.」

On par with prime Bacchus-san… It seems that this swordsman was at an unbelievable “height”.
