404. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [174]

「W-What is this…!?」

「Sakura… blades!?」

「All members, emergency retrea– GUAAH!!!」

Bacchus’ sakura slash was exactly like that depicted in legends and myths.

The skies ripping, the seas splitting, and tens of thousands of swordsmen felled with a single slash.

A large army of 10,000, including the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle, was defeated with just one swing.

「P-Preposterous…」

「Am I perhaps stuck in a nightmare…」

Von and Deal looked stunned in the face of an unrealistic scene.

On the other hand,

「W-Wow, amazing…」

The heroic story that Allen heard at the “Sakura Drop” bathhouse crossed Allen’s mind.

【Those days, when I swung my sword, the seas parted in two, the skies tore apart, tens of thousands of swordsmen fell! I was the very definition of invincible and brute valour! Bararararara!】

(Bacchus-san’s story was all true!)

While the world was dyed in sakura blossoms,

(But this “scene”… I think I’ve seen it somewhere…)

A memory of a time long past was revived in Allen’s mind.

【Haa, haa… Y-You… are as strong as a demon… This is the first time I have ever tasted defeat in my life…】

【Ha”H! You’re just at the level of “good enough”, bastard― By the way, I am the real “undefeated since birth”. It has been so until now, and it will be so from now on till forever… Na”A!】

【Ba-Barorororo…! That arrogance, that courage that fears none, and the strength of a demonic god…… I like it all! I am the founder of Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style, Rocks Valencia! What are you called?】

【A”a? Why do I have to give my name to a trash like you? Use your undeveloped brain and realize that you and I are not equals.】

【Barororo! A foulmouth that goes hand-in-hand with that infernal strength! I don’t mind if you don’t wish to give your name. More importantly, I have sake here. It’s sake from my hometown! Let’s drink together!】

【…Sake, huh? Right, I haven’t drunk some in a long time…】

【Oh, finally something not foul. Now, let’s drink! Having a cup with〈Sephirot〉as a side dish is truly exceptional, I tell you!】

【Geez……. If it’s bad sake, I’ll kill you.】

The young Rocks had drank together with a haughty man all night long.

(Is this… Zeon’s memory? If he is a spirit core, how did he meet with Rocks-san in this world?)

A big question arose in Allen’s mind.

Only Zeon himself – or other “involved people” know the answer.

「Now! Let’s escape at maximum output!」

Allen and the others received command from Rose, and poured all their spiritual power into the glider to fly at maximum speed.

At the same time, there was a tremendous amount of laughter, reaching even beyond the horizon.

「Barararara! My era ends here! Allen Rodore – “Child of Destruction”! It is your turn to shape the new era!」

Having literally exhausted all his power, Bacchus’ body broke into particles of light as he smiled with satisfaction – he kept his promise to let Allen and the others escape safely from Cherin.
