Chapter 384 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [155] (1/2)

384. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [155]

「Man… I was scared to death just now. As expected, bro, you’ve got a nasty spirit core within.」

Deal muttered, pulling out the black swords piercing his body one by one.

(…Fast.)

The deep stab wounds everywhere on his body healed in the blink of an eye.

It seems that even his recovery ability has greatly skyrocketed by bringing out his true soul dress.

「That thing earlier… is it some kind of “Unknown Phantom Beast”?」

「Who knows.」

I have never really thought about what Zeon was.

「Kukuku… You and I are friends, aren’t we, bro? So you can tell me.」

Deal made a shitty joke and shrugged his shoulders slightly.

「Well… no matter how powerful the spirit core is, after all, it’s an empty existence that doesn’t have “substance”. To interfere with the real world, it consumes a ridiculous amount of power. Judging from the fact that there are no follow-up attacks, isn’t that “monster” already out of gas?」

Apparently, this guy also has a deep knowledge about spirit cores.

「Well… I wonder.」

I desperately put on a big smile so that he wouldn’t realize that Zeon can’t interfere any longer.

「It sounds like an “obvious bluff”… but, in your case, I can’t be completely certain. That spirit core could interfere. Well, it can’t be helped. I’ll just have to put you through a slow hell.」

Deal displayed a sadistic smile which sent chills down my spine, and readied his poison sword.

From that point onward… it wasn’t something that could be called a “battle”.

「HA! HA! HA! …What’s wrong? You’re completely on the defensive!」

「…」

Deal unleashed only small attacks without giving me a chance to catch my breath, and gradually slashed at my body.

(If he uses a big move, that will be the end for me.)

But my “Zeon bluff” seems to be working, as Deal was only making basic slashes.

Thanks to that, I can still stand on my two legs.
