377. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [148]

「Ku, Kuku Kuku… Ahahahahahahaha!」

For some reason, Deal suddenly burst into laughter.

「Man, you’re too strong… Even with all this power, you’re still a “soul dress-user”. That just makes you scarier… No wonder His Majesty Barrel specifically ordered to be wary of you.」

While sighing loudly, Deal let go of his soul dress〈Deadly Venom〉.

Pulled down by gravity, it pierced into the ground, eventually disappearing into particles of light.

(Is he… giving up?)

While I was thinking that,

「Allen bro, you are likely to become even stronger in the future. You will continue to grow steadily, and within ten to twenty years, you will surely be on par with the Emperor’s Four Knights and the Seven Holy Swords. Actually, you might become even more troublesome than that…」

Deal whispered “It’s a shame, really,” and shook his head slightly.

And immediately after that–.

「So before that happens, I’m going to nip you in the bud while I still can.」

「!?」

A tremendous chill ran through my whole body.
