Chapter 128
The first half of the Grand Line, Askar Island.
This is a tropical island full of historical sites, rich in products and developed agriculture.
On this island, there is a legend that hundreds of years ago, there once existed an extremely powerful country called Askar, which ruled many surrounding islands.
However……
On a night with a crimson full moon high in the sky, on that ominous night, the three princes of Aska met a beautiful witch for the first time and fell in love with her at the same time.
In order to win the love of the miko, the three princes took out the seven-star sword that proved the throne and started a war. The whole country was plunged into the flames of war. The earth and the ocean also cried as they absorbed the sorrow and resentment of countless innocent victims. .
Then, the Seven-Star Sword, which absorbed the resentment and blood of countless people, turned into a cursed demon sword, causing horrific killing and destruction, and completely destroying the powerful Askar country!
The cursed Seven Star Sword, in the form of blood sacrifice, caused battles again and again. The war spread throughout this sea area, affecting the entire sea, and completely plunged the world into darkness.
In order to save everyone from the war, the miko sacrificed her life to remove the blood and hatred absorbed by the Seven Star Sword.
In order to repay the death of the miko they loved deeply, the three princes prayed to the gods and received three gems from the gods of Aska, which became the Seven-Star Sword of Demon Sword and sealed its power, making this Peace was restored to the sea.
A space door suddenly opened in an alley from the port of Aska Island, where people come and go, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
but……
This is the Great Channel, filled with legends about various Devil Fruit abilities. Many people have even personally seen the incredible abilities of Devil Fruits. Therefore, passers-by were just surprised and stopped paying attention. Instead, they went about their business again. stand up.
Sephiroth, who was wearing a black leather jacket with a blood-colored bat lying on his shoulders, had shoulder-length silver hair, and a half-mask on his face, walked out from the other side of the space door with a long knife in hand.
He casually glanced at a bar next to the pier. In a room inside the bar, there was a black bat in a cage.
This is Umbrella Corporation, the intelligence gathering point on Askar Island…
Sephiroth took out a map from his trouser pocket, compared the directions, and left the port.
After arriving in a remote and uninhabited wilderness, he opened his black flesh wings, soared into the sky, and headed towards a village.
Suddenly!
Sephiroth, who was flying in the air, looked down and saw, next to a winding river, at a dilapidated altar, there was a blue man wearing a white shorts and shorts, with waist-length hair, fair skin, and a beautiful face. Hair girl.
She emerged from the river below the altar. Holding three pink round gems in her arms, she slowly climbed up the stairs and walked towards the ancient altar.
Seeing this scene, Sephiroth raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered:
“Hey! Save me the trouble of looking for you…”
He flapped his black flesh wings and swooped down from the sky.
On the altar, a blue-haired girl named Maya knelt in front of the altar’s stone table. She placed three gems on the stone table. She faced a stone sculpture of a witch in front of her and performed a prayer ceremony. .
A faint glimmer of light flashed from the three gems, giving them a mysterious aura.
Wow-!
Suddenly there was a sound of air vibration behind her. Maya stood up with a puzzled expression on her face and turned her head to look at the silver-haired young man who suddenly appeared behind her.
“Where is the Seven Star Sword?
How can we unlock its seal? ”
The corners of Sephiroth’s mouth raised slightly, creating an evil smile.
“you……”
Upon hearing this strange man’s question, Maya’s pupils suddenly shrank, and she couldn’t help but feel a little horrified.
He is also the one who covets the power of the Seven Star Sword!
no! I have to quickly inform the elders and let them take precautions…
Subconsciously, she bent over, picked up the three gems, and quickly escaped from here.
However……
Sephiroth didn’t give the blue-haired girl a chance at all. He directly picked up the girl and hugged her in his arms. The slender blood-sucking fangs popped out of his mouth.
Zhi~!
He bit down on the girl’s white neck, his fangs pierced the skin directly, and began to suck the girl’s blood, and his domineering aura was heightened to the extreme…
Memories of Blood!
Suddenly attacked, Maya quickly resisted and struggled a few times.
I want to push the other person away with my hands.
However……
There was only a slight pain in her neck, and then an ecstatic feeling emerged from her body. The nerve anesthetic toxin on the bloody fangs made her lose the will and thoughts of resistance.
On the other side, Sephiroth used his vampire ability, special induction of blood, and combined with the Haki of Wisdom and Color, he successfully read the thoughts and memories that emerged in the girl’s mind when he asked her.
As he develops his power of knowledge and knowledge to become more and more powerful, although he still cannot predict the future, he is becoming more and more detailed in sensing the breath and movements of living creatures!
He discovered that he could sense the other person’s emotional changes by sensing the blood in his body, which was half a mind-reading ability.
Therefore, after a long period of research and development, he created the “Blood Memories” technique of reading the other party’s short-term memory by sucking blood.
but……
This is also limited to the short-term memory that appears in the other party’s mind. If it is necessary to read the long-term memory, with his current ability, it is still not possible. The long-term memory read will appear very fuzzy and messy.
After Sephiroth obtained the intelligence information he needed from Maya’s blood, he withdrew his fangs biting the girl’s white neck.
Finally, he gently licked the wound on Maya’s neck with his tongue, and used his reserved vitality to help the girl stop the bleeding and provide preliminary treatment for the wound, so that the girl would not bleed to death from the wound.
“Pure girl~! Thank you for your hospitality!”
Sephiroth gently leaned the girl in his arms on the edge of the stone table.
Then, he carried the three gems in his left hand, took out the long knife from his waist, opened a space door leading to a certain ruins, and stepped in.
“Wait! Give me the jade back…”
After Maya passed through the initial stage of confusion, she saw this strange young man take away three gems, and…
She also saw that on the other side of the door was the altar hiding the Seven Star Sword!
With anxiety in her heart, Maya forced her somewhat weak body to rush into the space door that was about to close, and came to a secret room in the ruins.
In the center of this secret room, there is a rectangular sarcophagus.
Maya knew that the strength of the two sides was too disparate and she was unable to resist, so she could only hold on to her weak body and dissuade her:
“Please, don’t take away the Seven Star Sword…it’s just a demon sword that will bring disaster and war!”
Sephiroth turned his head and glanced at the blue-haired girl who followed him to the secret room. He chuckled:
“I never like to do things that are beyond my control…
If I can’t conquer this demon sword, then I won’t be brave enough to use it…
I took your gem just to resist its pollution!”
Squeak, squeak, squeak…!
As he spoke, the black bat split from Sephiroth’s body. The bloody bat lying on his shoulder immediately flapped its wings a few times and flew into the air.
Just a few seconds later, a bat clone with the same clothes and appearance as Sephiroth appeared in the secret room of the ruins.
Under his control, the bat clone pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus, revealing a strange long sword that was all green… the Seven-Star Sword!
Maya looked in her eyes and felt anxious in her heart, but she didn’t know how to stop the silver-haired young man’s behavior.
As soon as the bat clone picked up the Seven-Star Sword, a green evil energy infected its arm from the hilt of the sword, instantly eroding its sanity.
Roar!
The bat clone immediately roared and hissed, and a ferocious expression flashed across its face. It actually held swords in both hands and slashed at Sephiroth.
“interesting!”
Sephiroth chuckled lightly, and pressed his right hand on the handle of the butcher’s knife. He pulled the knife out of its sheath violently, wrapped around the powerful and domineering blue-black long knife, and drew a red trajectory, which collided with the Seven-Star Sword. together.
Clang!
Maya: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Sephiroth: (⊙ˍ⊙)!
In the shocked eyes of the two people, the butcher’s knife directly split the body of the Seven Star Sword into two without any hindrance. The sharp blade directly cut off the head of the bat clone, splitting the bloody bat into two. Half……
Bang!
The seven-star sword that was broken into two parts fell to the ground, the bat clone collapsed, and the black bat disappeared into the air.
After being silent for a long time, Sephiroth turned to look at the blue-haired girl. He complained helplessly:
”
Your Seven Star Sword…is a bit fake! ”
Maya: “…”
Sephiroth had just seen the bat clone going crazy and being controlled by the Seven-Star Sword. With the idea of defeating the opponent so that he could directly subdue the Seven-Star Sword, he slashed with all his strength…
Unexpectedly, the Seven-Star Sword was cut off directly! ?
Maya thought about it, but she could only forcefully redeem her respect and explained:
“The Seven-Star Sword was originally sealed, and its power has not yet awakened…
It’s natural that it will be destroyed!”
“…”
Sephiroth carefully sensed the broken sword that fell on the ground with the Haki of Hearing and Hearing. He helplessly found that the evil power on the Seven-Star Sword had completely disappeared without a trace…
“Forget it! Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need for me to keep these three gems…Give them back to you!”
Sephiroth returned the three pink gems in his left hand to Maya.
When he opened the new space door with his sword and was about to leave, he subconsciously glanced at the severed Seven Star Sword.
He thought for a while, and finally bent down to pick up the broken sword, ready to take it back and study it.
The power of the Seven Star Sword in its heyday should not be underestimated. Not only could it control people’s hearts, it could also give its holder powerful combat power!
If he figures out the secret of the Seven Star Sword, he may be able to mass-produce it…
If I could mass-produce swords of the level of a fast sword, I would be satisfied!
Huh! ? Wait…if I can’t find a replacement weapon for Black Blade Shusui.
Then can I create a sharp knife, or even a supreme sharp knife…?
Thinking of this, the slight depression in Sephiroth’s heart because of the Seven-Star Sword being severed was immediately swept away, and he felt much better.
Click!
The space door closed, leaving only Maya, who was holding three gems in her arms and looking at a loss.
The mission she has always shouldered is to seal and suppress the Seven Star Sword, but now that the sword has been cut off, does she still need to perform prayer rituals in the future…?
