Chapter 272. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [43]
Bacchus-san, who talked about the purpose of the hermit of ti, turned a sharp glance towards for so reason.
I felt an indescribable pressure from him, and tried to move along the conversation.
「Child of Destruction?」
「Aa, yes. A child of fate with the terrible power to destroy the order and balance of the world and turn the world “upside down”. The hermit of ti is searching for that child in a frenzy.」
「What is the hermit of ti going to do when he finds the Child of Destruction?」
「Who knows, I wasn’t told beyond that. Because it is sothing I heard a very long ti ago.」
He said, scratching his head.
「Which ans, there is soone else who knows more details about the 100 Million Year button?」
「Yeah. However, it feels so nostalgic now. He was a strange man who knew about all sorts of things.」
Bacchus-san began to talk slowly with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
「About 150 years ago, I went on a warrior’s journey to find a swordsman stronger than myself. At that ti, I was at my pri, possessing substantial physical strength and vitality. Those days, when I swung my sword, the seas parted in two, the skies tore apart, tens of thousands of swordsn fell! I was the very definition of invincible and brute valour! Bararararara!」
He laughed heartily while speaking of his heroic tales.
「Tens of thousands of people?」
Isn’t that a little too exaggerated?
「It is all true! In all my life, I have never lied!」
He patted on the back and continued on.
「While I was wandering around every corner of the world, I t a certain swordsman at the Principality of Teresia. He was a young man with a slender build, but his swordsmanship was terrifyingly sharp. Even after cutting at each other for three days and three nights without a rest, we never reached a conclusion. Even now when I close my eyes, I can rember it like it happened just yesterday. I really enjoyed that sword fight.」
On par with pri Bacchus-san… It seems that this swordsman was at an unbelievable “height”.
「After that, we beca friends and traveled together for a while. He said he was looking for “strong companions” to accomplish his “ambition”. He was a strange man who knew about all sorts of things for his age. And I heard various stories from him during our travels such as the hermit of ti, the 100 Million Year button, the transcendents, and also about phantom beasts and demons. Well, in other words, all the things I just told you were sothing that my friend told about.」
Bacchus-san concluded the conversation with that.
「I see. Was that so? 150 years ago would an that your friend has passed away, right?」
I thought this was the chance to learn about the hermit of ti and the 100 Million Year button that have been shrouded in mystery up to now, but…
(Logically speaking, there’s no way humans can live up to 200 years like Bacchus-san.)
And when I dropped my shoulders dejectedly,
「Nope, he’s still alive. I haven’t got to see him lately, but sotis he sends so “unsettling news”.」
Bacchus-san said those words nonchalantly.
「H-He is still alive? P-Please tell that person’s na!」
「Ah, I don’t mind. His na is Ba-」
The mont Bacchus-san started–
「Excuse , Allen. My body soap seems to be completely dissolved. Can I borrow yours for a second?」
Sebas-san interrupted from the side with a troubled look.
「Ah, yes. Please take… mine!?」
It took a few good seconds to sink in.
「S-Sebas-san!?」
「Yo, it’s been a while.」
To my left was one of the Emperor’s Four Knights, Sebas Chandler, who once served as vice president of the student council of Thousand Blade Academy.
