378. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [149]
(What… is this!?)
Deal should barely be able to stand after taking a direct hit from Dark Shadow.
(But… why is he giving off such a powerful “pressure”!?)
I raised my guard more than ever and gripped the black sword tightly.
The next moment,
「Rise -〈Hydra〉!」
Sludge-like purple substance emerged from Deal’s whole body, which eventually turned into a giant dragon with nine heads.
「Wha…」
Evil spiritual power that caused nausea just by looking at it.
I have crossed swords with many formidable enemies so far.
Dodriel, Zack, Fu, Rain, Gregor – Every single one of them had a terrifying ability.
(But the one in front of me right now is… different…)
Deal’s power was clearly different in nature from any I’ve faced in the past.
「N-No way, is this–」
Before I could finish my words,
「–”True soul dress”. Only those who have mastered their soul dress to the absolute limit can reach it. The true soul dress is the pinnacle of a swordsman.」
Before I realised, Deal was standing right next to me.
