Chapter 284: Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [55]Chapter 284. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [55]
Only five minutes left until the girls would get out of the hot spring.
For me, who had swung a sword for more than a billion years, it was such a short time that would pass in the blink of an eye.
However,
「HAAAAAA!」
「NUOOOO!」
Now that I was caught between two of the world’s best swordsmen, those five minutes felt like forever.
「Damn…」
My body was carved with a number of sword wounds and red-black bruises.
(Endure, endure…)
These wounds are only temporary, after all.

(The only thing I have to do right now is to protect Ria from being peeped on! To achieve that, I just have to protect this mop from breaking!)
For that purpose, I will attack with all my heart!
「I won’t lose yet! Sixth Sword – Dark Roar!」
The Dark Roar that I unleashed with all my strength bared its fangs.
「Kuh, you still have this much power, huh…」
「You just won’t fall, will ya?」
Sebas-san and Bacchus-san interrupted their attacks temporarily and focused on cutting down the Dark Roar.
I took advantage of the short moment when their attacks stopped.
「Eighth Sword – Yatagarasu!」
「Kuh!」
「Nuu!」
Sebas-san and Bacchus-san deflected the eight slashes, and took half a step back.
(That’s exactly what I was aiming for!)
The two are now hesitant.
After deflecting Yatagarasu, instead of immediately counterattacking, they took half a step back.
This is definitely because of my previous “brutal counter” called Hazy Moon.
(Sebas-san and Bacchus-san don’t know if I have any more cards up my sleeve.)
Actually, I had no more cards left up my sleeve.
However, only I knew that fact.
From their perspective, it would seem like I might still have some hidden cards.
(The strongest tactic when playing cards – “Bluff”!)
I went on the offensive in order to make them wary of the “non-existent trump card” and prevent them from realizing that I was “out of cards”.
(Because there lies the threat of a “counter”, Sebas-san and Bacchus-san cannot launch a drastic attack!)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTherefore, I must never go on the defensive.
If I want to stall for time, I have to keep pressing forward with a fearless smile!
(And I’m getting used to it little by little.)
Sebas-san’s Absolute Sword and Bacchus-san’s Sakura-Blossom One-Sword Style.
While watching their techniques and movements many times, I gradually became more efficient in responding to them.
(I can understand. I can see it. Their breathing rhythm, the movement of their muscles!)
Because we were all fighting half-naked, I was able to clearly observe the “muscle movements” of Sebas-san and Bacchus-san.
The eyes speak more than the mouth.
Similarly, the body speaks more than the sword.
By looking at their muscle movements, I can see the “movement of the sword” which is a few seconds in the future.
Thinking about it, this is like a “simulated battle” where I can learn a lot of lessons.
(Anyway, keep to this pace! If I continue at this pace, I’ll be able to pass the remaining time!)
In this way, I was steadily advancing to the path of victory step by step while grasping a certain feeling of growth.
