Chapter 390 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [161] (1/2)

390. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [161]

「Let’s test just how strong the mighty “Seven Holy Swords” are! E”e!」

I kicked the ground powerfully and started to move to close the distance with Von.

「Rushing straight at me… You are the epitome of stupidity. –Whale Mochi.」

The sand whales swimming in the sky blocked my path.

「This garbage sand can’t stop me!」

I swung the black sword lightly and mowed down the 20 whales in front of me.

「Did you think it was normal sand?」

「What!?」

The sand whales turned into golden quicksand with strong stickiness and clung to my whole body.

(This is… heavy…)

The sand clinging to my body would only fill half of a pail.

Nevertheless, my whole body felt heavy, as if I had been turned into metal.

Each grain of sand boasted an unthinkable mass.

(It’s that kind of ability, huh…)

Sand Whale of Purification – its true essence is not “manipulation of sand” but “changing the nature of sand”.

Whale Mochi is sand with added “weight” and “viscosity”.

There is no doubt that Von’s sand can be changed to hold various other properties.

「It’s quite heavy, isn’t it? It’s a special sand that I created with plenty of spiritual power. Now, then. Here comes the next attack — Whale Bullets.」

As Von swung down his short sword, an army of over 100 sand whales rushed at me with tremendous speed.

「How annoying!」

I immediately intercepted the approaching sand whales with Black Sword.

However, just as before, the whales turned into quicksand when it was cut and clung to my limbs.

(This number is too many…)

When my movement slowed down and grew dull,

「Shall I increase the number of bullets a little more?」

Von created more new sand whales and shot them like bullets once again.

「HAAAAA”A”A”A!」

I desperately swung the Black Sword, but this wasn’t an attack that can be repelled with fighting spirit alone.

A horde of sand whales swallowed my entire body, like a torrential rain.

The sharp horns on the whales’ head penetrated the thick dark robe cladding my body and inflicted considerable damage.

「Bastard… For a guy who prattles on about justice this, justice that, your attacks are irritatingly malicious, aren’t they?」
