Chapter 398 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [169] (2/2)

Von and Deal muttered with scorn, and shifted their sights to him.

「Bararara, it was just a light attack!」

Bacchus desperately displayed a confident smile while throwing provocations.

This was simply to attract the attention of the two enemies onto himself and to secure time for Allen and the others to escape. In fact, Bacchus was almost at his limit.

(Hahaha… I’m in a miserable state…)

Thousand Root Kannon was originally a technique which skewers an enemy with “Thousand” roots.

In his dying state, Bacchus could only manipulate “seven” roots.

「We can’t have you interrupting us anymore. We’ll get rid of you first.」

「We don’t have much time. Let’s finish this in an instant!」

Von and Deal kicked the ground and closed the gap in one step.

On the other hand, Bacchus raised his beloved sword that he has been with for many long years over his head.

However,

「Sakura Blossom One-Sword Sty– Gofu, gaha…」

The recoil from using Thousand Root Kannon assailed his body.

Two swords approached him as he fell to his knees and coughed uncontrollably.

「Hmm, seems like you just uselessly shortened your own life. True Soul Style – True Thrust!」

「I’ll aim straight for your heart! –Venom Bite!」

「Ka,ha…」

Von and Deal’s sharp thrusts accurately pierced Bacchus’ heart.
