403. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [173]

【Hou, “a disastrous revolution”? I mean…that sounds interesting!】

【…Hey, you aren’t thinking about something strange, are you?】

【Alright! I’ve decided, Barrel! I will find the child before you do and teach it the Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style!】

【Bacchus… Did you listen to my story properly? “Child of Destruction” is an incarnation of evil. It’s very existence itself is a sin. Why would you make such a thing even stronger? Do you want to destroy this world?】

【Fool! It is not a sin to live. Besides, children grow to be good or bad depending on the environment in which they grow up.】

【Did you know that the saying “birds of a feather flock together” has existed for a long time? Which is to say, evil always gathers around more evil. By the time you meet the Child of Destruction, it would’ve become a villain with no hope for salvation.】.

【Haa… Barrel, my guy… You’re really a negative thinker who always looks at the bad side of things… Even if the child grows up to be a helpless bad kid, once he understands the fun of swinging a sword – once he understands the true essence of swordsmanship, he’ll quickly become a good human being! If that happens, he will surely bring about a “good revolution”!】

【…As expected, from our way of thinking and our way of life, you and I just don’t mesh well at all.】

【Barararara! Will you kill the Child of Destruction and bring peace to the world? Or will I teach the child swordsmanship and bring about a revolution to the world? Let’s see which of us will win first!】

Bacchus smiled, feeling satisfaction in his heart as he remembered the interaction between him and his old friend – the Emperor of Holy Ronelia Empire, Barrel Ronelia.

「Barrel, it seems that I won that bet! With this “one move”, the era, the world, the history – will all be turned upside down!」

As Bacchus declared his victory and stretched out his right hand, petals from the 100 Million Year Sakura gathered at his hand, and gave form to a vivid sakura sword.

「Boy! This is your “last lesson”! Take a close look!」

Bacchus yelled from the bottom of his belly and slowly swung his beloved sword which had accompanied him throughout his life as a swordsman.

「Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style Secret Technique–」

As Bacchus aimed at the great sky far above and readied to unleash the “last slash of one’s life”,

「I don’t know what you’re going to do, but I won’t let you!」

「Don’t ignore us please!」

Von and Deal kicked the ground and immediately tried to interfere.

「Ultimate Absolute Defense – Circular Sand Whal–…!?」

As soon as Von started manifesting a pure white shield, he immediately cancelled it.

(I-It’s impossible…)

He realized how reckless and stupid it was to even try preventing Bacchus’ slash.

「Hehe… Even if it’s a “Phantom Spirit”, we still outnumber you! Hydra–」

「Deal, you idiot! Can’t you sense the difference in power?!」

Von quickly kicked Deal far away and he too instantly jumped away from the spot.

Immediately after that,

「–Mirrored Sakura Slash!」

Like a mirror match, hundreds of millions of sakura blades slashed the great sky apart.
