The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button - Chapter 385 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [156]

385. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [156]

「Stop!」

I forcibly moved my almost unresponsive legs, and slashed at Deal.

「HA!」

I unleashed a slash with all the strength I could muster, but Deal easily dodged it.

「The fun will begin from now on, so please watch quietly… bro!」

「Gah!」

A strong kick pierced my abdomen, sending me rolling across the ground ungracefully.

During that time, Deal walked forward carefreely and stood directly in front of Ria.

「Ku… High King Style – Strong Slash!」

Ria’s attack, clad in scorching flame, slashed the air in vain.

「Haa, Miss Ria… Didn’t you watch the fight between bro and I? Your slow attack will never reach me– Hydra!」

Deal said, in a disinterested manner, and commanded Hydra. Four heads of the poison dragon stretched out from his shoulders and bared their fangs at Ria simultaneously.

「N-No… g-go away…」

In the face of Deal’s extraordinary output, Ria became frozen in fear.

「Kuh! …AAAAAAAAA!!!」

As a result, Ria was pinned down to the ground by the four heads. And she screamed out in agony.

Her hands and feet were engraved with a sinister purple pattern.

She had been injected with Hydra’s deadly poison.

「Damnit…」

I desperately tried to stand up, dragging my body across the ground.

However, no matter how desperately I tried, my body refused to listen to me.

(Move, move, move, move… Move!!)

「Bro, I’m going to destroy your “precious people” one by one, so please watch closely, okay?」

With a malicious smile, Deal raised his sinister poison sword.

At his feet, Ria was pinned down by the four heads of Hydra.

It was obvious what he was going to do next.

「S-Stop! Please, I’m begging you… Don’t do it… She is… very important to me…」

I cast away my shame, and begged.

That was the only thing I could do.

「Ku, Kukuku…」

The corners of Deal’s mouth curled up as he heard my desperate plea.

「Ahahahaha! How wonderful! You finally gave me a good voice!」

After laughing a bit — he thrust the purple sword deep into Ria’s heart.

Her body convulsed. Fresh blood spilled out of her chest.

「…………No…」

「Ah… this feeling is irresistible… The feeling of reaping a life, the sound of hope turning into despair…」

Deal closed his eyes quietly, a look of ecstasy etched on his face.

「Al, len… run…」

Ria, her heart pierced, desperately reached out her hand to me. And then she stopped moving.

Her healthy, vibrant skin quickly turned deathly pale. The light disappeared from her beautiful azure eyes.

Her overflowing brilliance of life was extinguished.

「Ri, a…?」

「Ku, Kukukuku… Ahahahahahaha! How does it feel, bro? Failing to protect someone you love! Watching their life extinguish right in front of your eyes! Hey, hey, don’t just be quiet… Please say something, yeah!」

For the very first time in my life, I wanted to kill someone.

This guy doesn’t deserve to live.

I have to kill him no matter what.

「…I don’t care anymore.」

I don’t care if I will never stand again…….

I don’t care if I will never hold a sword again…….

I don’t care about any of that anymore…

That’s why–.

「Give me all your power to kill Deal… Zeon!」

I shouted powerfully, dominated by pure rage and hatred. A kind of “path” that had been closed until now broke open.

Murky darkness overflowed out of me.

It was darker than ever.

Colder than ever.

An evil beyond saving.

Darkness wrapped up the entire island. It dyed the ocean black and stretched out to the horizon. Darkness filled the world in every direction.

「Kid, this power… It was you, after all…」

「T-This is the “Darkness of House Rodore”? No, something is wrong!」

Bacchus-san and Von turned their eyes towards me.

「Ha, haha… this is amazing! As expected of you, bro…. You were still hiding this kind of power!」

Deal clapped his hands excitedly.

「Deal, get ready.」

「…Wha?」

I closed the gap between us in one step and gathered darkness in my right fist which was pulled far back.

「Shit! Shield, Hydra!」

Hydra wound around Deal’s body and erected a thick “poison armor”.

「ORA!」

「Impossible… gah!」

But the straight right I unleashed pulverised Hydra without any resistance and landed square on Deal’s face.
