Chapter 400 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [170] (2/2)

「Bararara… Too soft!」

The old swordsman displayed magnificent swordsmanship, not bringing shame to the title of former world’s strongest.

However, every time he launched a slash, beautiful sakura petals dropped and scattered from the 100 Million Year Sakura.

Those were literally petals of life.

Every time a petal fell, “death” was steadily approaching.

Time passed steadily. About when three minutes had passed,

「Ba-Barararara! At this distance, you won’t be able to get your hands on them anymore!」

The corners of Bacchus’ lips curled, having achieved his strategic goal.

Allen and the others had boarded the gliders and had flown far away over the sea.

They were out of the range of〈Sand Whale of Purification〉and〈Hydra〉.

It can be said that their safety was completely secured.

「Indeed, you’re right. Deal and I can’t use our abilities to get to them anymore, but the same is also true for you.」

「…What do you mean?」

「Hmm, exactly what it sounds like. At this distance, even you can’t interfere, right?」

Von said, smiling fearlessly. He then took out a small radio from his pocket.

「Von Mustang here. The target has been changed from Bacchus Valencia to Allen Rodore. His group is currently flying over the high-skies. All members, deploy your soul dress and eliminate the target with maximum output!」

The moment he gave such an order,

「W-What the hell is this!?」

A tremendous number of gliders appeared from the thick clouds above, surrounding Allen and the others in a pincer move.
