388. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [159]

「It’s a little regrettable, but let’s settle this match.」

As Deal reached out his left hand, ominous-coloured poison concentrated in his hand and took the shape of a solemn giant bow.

He nocked Poison Sword Hydra like an “arrow” into the bow and aimed it at me.

「I’m about to release a blow which contains my entire life and my love for you, Allen bro. Please accept it.」

「H”aa…. I guess that bullshit comin’ outta your mouth is to be your “last words”, huh…」

「Kuku… You are someone I can’t get along with until the very end!」

Deal’s mouth stretched into a broad smile as he drew the bow to the limit.

And then,

「Hero Killing Poison Dragon!」

The Poison Sword Hydra was shot with tremendous momentum.

The blow, which carried a vast amount of deadly venom, was the poison dragon itself.

Grass, stones, soil – literally everything touched by the poison died.

「H”ee…」

As expected of a former Emperor’s Four Knight who has reached the highest level of true soul dress.

The blow approaching me boasted quite an amount of power.

「For a thrash like you… it’s a decent technique.」

I slowly dropped my center of gravity and pulled back the Black Sword.

「Fourth Sword – Black Spear!」

In a split second, the darkness condensed at the tip of the sword was released at an explosive speed.

Unlike Dark Roar, Black Spear is a concentrated single-point thrust.

It pierced through the Poison Dragon, continued on and pierced Deal. There was a large gaping hole in Deal’s abdomen.

「Ha, haha… magni…ficent…」

The true soul dress Hydra turned into particles of light and disappeared. And Deal collapsed on his back.

「Gafu…」

Blood was constantly spouting out of the gaping hole.

His last attack exhausted all his spiritual power, and his prided recovery ability was completely stifled.

「By all means, finish this…」

Deal’s skin turned blue-black every passing moment. He was at death’s door.

「Hahaha, aren’t you in a pitiful and miserable state! How are you feeling, E”h?」

「He, hehehe… Thanks to you, I’m having the time of my life…」he said, with his usual dubious smile.

「That frivolous talk even at your deathbed, huh…」I was utterly amazed.

「N-Now… land the killing blow! That way, I will become an “eternal existence” in you, bro! I can live with you forever and ever!」

Deal stretched out his bloody right hand towards me and desperately begged for it.

「Tsk! Such a revolting bastard… If you wanna die that badly, I’ll make your wish come true!」

As I swung my Black Sword, aimed at Deal’s neck–

「I think that’s far enough.」

The Seven Holy Sword, Von Mustang, stood before me.

(What’s this “sand” ? It’s pretty hard…)

My Black Sword was blocked by a spherical sand that enveloped Von.

「Certainly, Deal is an irredeemable low-life. He has discarded his humanity and is also a man with a broken personality. However, his strength is necessary to achieve “true peace”. I can’t let him die here.」

「Which means… you’re gonna get in my way?」

「Yeah, that’s right.」

「If so, you die too!」

I increased the output of darkness by a few folds and slashed the sand sphere.
