Chapter 389 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [160] (1/2)

389. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [160]

「To think you could destroy my sand sphere with just one swing… That’s truly a ridiculous output.」

Von avoided my jet-black slash by a hair’s breadth, quickly recovered Deal, and jumped far back.

「So this is the “Darkness of House Rodore”… It’s very different from the information received, but it’s an absurd power all the same. No wonder Barrel Ronelia is wary.」

Von readied his stance on high alert, evaluating me with his gaze.

Right then, Deal began to squirm under Von’s armpit.

「I-I… must be with…Allen bro…」

「Deal, I don’t give a damn about your suicidal desires. Go to sleep over there until Hydra’s power recovers.」

Von said, and threw Deal to the side casually.

(…That damn trash has started healing again.)

Blood has already stopped spurting out of the gaping air hole in his torso.

That resilience is probably a special trait of the spirit core called〈Hydra〉.

Like a damn cockroach.

(Anyway, what the hell happened to that Bacchus fellow?)

Looking back, I saw Bacchus breathing wildly, clasping the ground with his right hand.

His veiny left hand was grasping his left chest tightly, fresh blood dripping from the edge of his mouth.

(…Seizures, huh.)

It would be impossible to continue fighting in that state.

As I turned around after checking the situation,

「Allen Rodore. Why don’t you join us?」

Von extended a ridiculous proposal.

「The power you have displayed is commendable. It would be a shame for you to die here… It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a loss for the entire world.」

He started talking as he pleased without waiting for my reply.

「I am strong, if I do say so myself. Far stronger than Deal over there.」

Von kept speaking with a fearless smile.

「You can’t beat me in your immature state. Crossing sword with me at this juncture would be no more that suicide. If so, why don’t you choose the smarter choice? Join us and help establish “Justice”–」

「–Blablablablabla…. Just shut up!」
