The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

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.
