253. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [24]

The mysterious swordsman and I ran towards each other at the same time, as though it was prearranged.

「HA!」

「Nuun!」

Our full-might slashes clashed against each other and red sparks soared.

As a fierce battle unfolded,

「HAAAAAAAAAAA!」

「NUOOOOOOH!」

Our war cries echoed on the quiet island.

(What insane power!)

I am quite confident in my physical strength, but the result of our locked sword state was even.

(No. In this state where I have not deployed darkness, I am being slightly pushed back.)

This man is not your average swordsman, after all.

「Bararara! Interesting! How interesting, kid! To compete with my herculean strength with that thin body!」

He laughed heartily and unleashed storm-like consecutive attacks.

「…..!」

I dodged, parried, and defended and somehow prevented all the slashes by a hair’s breadth.

(These are just normal slashes, but… there is tremendous power behind each of them.)

My sword was about to be broken just by defending it.

「What’s the matter? You can’t fight back if you just stick to defending!」

He took a big step forward for a follow-up attack.

I matched him and stepped in forward.

「I know that even if you don’t tell me! First Sword – Flying Shadow!」

I unleashed a counter at almost zero distance.

「Hou, you use some strange techniques!」

But, he clutched it with his left arm and crushed it from the front.

(What the!?)

The power of the flying shadow is certainly modest, and is mainly used as a “feint” or a “counter” like I just did, but…

I never imagined it could be crushed with bare hands.

(How about this then!)

I dropped my center of gravity and slid into his chest area.

「Eighth Sword – Yatagarasu!」

Eight sharp slashes bared its fangs.

「Eight in one swing… Not bad!」

But, he avoided all of them with fluent body movements. It looked almost like a dance.

(F-Fast!)

It was a surprisingly agile movement for a huge body which exceeded two meters.

「Sora-sora-soraa! Is that all you have, kid?!」

「Guh!?」

And we kept fighting violently with the sword while preserving “Soul dress”.

How long has it passed since we began?

(All right, it’s about time to counterattack.)

After catching his blows again and again, I became accustomed to his insane physical strength.

Right now, in terms of simple sword crossing, we were completely even.

From here on, it will be a battle between swordsmanship and soul dress.

(…Let’s begin.)

I created a gap on my left side and lured him into the attack.

「Right there!」

Exactly according to plan, he unleashed a diagonal slash to my left side.

(I caught him!)

The moment his sharp sword came into contact with my body,

「HA!」

I clad myself in dark robe instantaneously, and the blade bounced back.

「Nuh!? K-Kid… This darkness!?」

Due to the sudden circumstance, he eyes widened and he staggered ever so slightly.

I didn’t miss that slight opening.

「Seventh Sword – Instant Flash!」

I unleashed my fastest ultimate attack; a godspeed Iai-slash.

The fastest slash unleashed at the perfect gap in defence.

(Alright, it connected!)

The moment my slash came into contact with his body,

「Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style – Lightning Sakura」

A thunderclap-like flash ran, and erased Instant Flash right away.

(T-That’s way too fast, isn’t it!?)

He matched my slash while being more than a breath late.

That movement just now completely transcended the limits of man.

No… That’s not the only thing to note.

(That technique just now was!?)

When my eyes widened in astonishment,

「What on earth are you doing, grandfather?!」

The cry of a beautiful woman sounded.

When I looked in the direction of the voice, there was a figure of Rose who was out of breath.

Behind her were Ria, president, and the senpais.

They seemed to have heard the sound of our sword crossing, and rushed here in a hurry.

「Errr, “grandfather”?」

As I was taken aback,

「Oh, Rose, it’s been a while! You got so big in the short time I didn’t see you!」

The mysterious swordsman sheathed his sword into his scabbard and smiled very softly.

Rose dropped her shoulder and sighed loudly.

「Haa… Why were you fighting with Allen?」

「That’s because… you can’t find a swordsman with this kind of spirit core that easily! My blood just boiled in excitement.」

「You are already old, so please take things slow.」

「Bararara! Rose is a really kind-hearted child. You are always concerned about grandfather’s well-being.」

…In addition to this affable exchange, and the word ‘grandfather’ that she mentioned earlier.

It seems that these two are related.

「I’m sorry, Allen. This person is the 16th legitimate successor of Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style, Bacchus Valencia. He’s a top-notch swordsman who was hailed as the “strongest in the world” in the past.」

When Rose introduced him as such,

「Bararara! Not just in the past, I am still the strongest swordsman in the world!」

Bacchus-san corrected her while laughing heartily.

「Kid, you seem to know my granddaughter. What is your name?」

I was asked that question.

「Ah, yes… I am Allen Rodore. I’m getting along with Rose-san at Thousand Blade Academy.」

For the time being, I introduced myself politely.
