Chapter 383 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [154] (2/2)

「If you understand that, then forsake those burdens behind you and leave this place right away–」

「–But the “possibility” is not zero.」

「…………Ah?」

「I can’t beat Deal with my abilities, but I can do something like “buying time”. Then… maybe someone will come to our rescue? Like Leia-sensei or the other Seven Holy Swords…」

「Were you born an idiot!? Reinforcements wouldn’t come to this isolated island in the sea!」

「…I know.」

I realise how unrealistic I sound..

「But if the possibility isn’t zero… If there is a way for Ria and others to survive, even if it’s only a one percent chance… I will swing my sword to make that future come true.」

This swordsmanship, which I have refined for more than a billion years, is to protect people precious to me.

If I turn tail and run away in this situation, even if I’m able to survive somehow, the “swordsman Allen Rodore” in me will surely die.

「Don’t screw around… how much… time… I and… your… who… that geezer’s, button…」

Zeon’s rage filled voice sounded choppy and disconnected in my head.

「…Sorry, Zeon. But I can’t understand you…」

My consciousness… is growing thin.

My sight began to flicker and I gradually became unable to hear sound.

Is it due to lack of spiritual power, or is it from bleeding too much?

No, I’m sure it’s both.

「YOU, SHITTY BRAT! ―LISTEN! IF PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO CONNECT THE ”PATH”! TAP INTO YOUR OWN “ROOT”–」

Zeon’s tremendous yelling was cut off mid-sentence.
