"Crack!!!"
Nox knew that the Seven Star Sword was sealed beneath the stone coffin, so he immediately flipped the coffin lid off and finally saw the Seven Star Sword inside.
"Seven Star Sword, I finally found you!"
The Seven Star Sword inside the stone coffin had no aura of a famous sword and was covered in rust, looking like an ordinary rusted iron sword.
The Seven Star Sword was a double-edged sword, with mysterious runes engraved on its blade.
Now they looked like cracks, making the sword appear even more dilapidated.
But he knew that this was just the Seven Star Sword being sealed, and its power had not yet revived.
Inside the coffin, there were also two iron chains tightly locking the Seven Star Sword's blade.
"Snap!!!"
Nox snapped the two chains with a single pull.
After the Seven Star Sword was sealed, it would only revive every hundred years on the night of the bloody full moon.
And now, there were still about forty years until the next bloody full moon.
Nox's arrival was equivalent to making the Seven Star Sword awaken ahead of time.
"This is bad, the Seven Star Sword has revived! That person has really released the Seven Star Sword!"
Athena saw the changes in the sky and felt the strong cursed aura ahead. Her face immediately turned pale. What she was most worried about had actually happened.
"No, I absolutely cannot let that person take the Seven Star Sword out of Asuka Island. I must seal the Seven Star Sword again."
Athena resolutely walked towards the cave.
When the Seven Star Sword awakened, its powerful sword spirit will instantly rushed into Nox's soul.
At this moment, Nox seemed to see the scene where the Seven Star Sword was worshipped when it was a holy sword.
At the same time, he also saw the process of the Seven Star Sword transforming into a demonic sword after absorbing too much slaughter, blood, and resentment.
What followed was the Seven Star Sword's own Sword Intent, filled with slaughter and bloodshed.
This powerful Sword Intent constantly impacted Nox's soul, wanting to corrupt him and turn him into a sword slave who craved slaughter and blood.
Making Nox provide more slaughter and blood for the Seven Star Sword to satisfy its needs.
Sword Intent was the mark of a Grand Swordmaster.
Once someone held the Seven Star Sword, their soul would be damaged by this powerful slaughter and blood Sword Intent, they would be controlled by the Sword Intent and become the Seven Star Sword's sword slave.
This was why those who held the Seven Star Sword before became sword slaves and eventually died unnatural deaths.
Because they were too weak, they couldn't even withstand the Sword Intent that came with the Seven Star Sword itself. How could they possibly control the Seven Star Sword?
"Hmph, what about Sword Intent? What can a mere sword do to me!!!!"
Nox snorted coldly. Regarding the Seven Star Sword's terrifying Sword Intent, he accepted it completely, letting its Sword Intent surge into his soul.
To subdue the Seven Star Sword, one must not only resist the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent but also comprehend the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent to control it and make it willingly recognize him as its master.
"Buzz!!!!"
The moment the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent surged in, Nox's powerful Haoshoku Haki soared into the sky.
The blood-red Haoshoku Haki and the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent overlapped, transforming into red and green Haki that surged recklessly in all directions.
In an instant, the entire Asuka Island was enveloped by the red and green Haoshoku Haki, and almost everyone was knocked unconscious by this Haoshoku Haki.
Even Karoo, who had followed Nox for many years, couldn't withstand the impact of the Haoshoku Haki.
"This is Senior Brother's aura. Did something big happen on the island?"
Kano, who was guarding the ship, felt Nox's Haoshoku Haki, but since it was the port, the Haoshoku Haki wasn't strong, so no one on the ship fainted.
"Don't worry, it's not like you don't know Senior Brother's strength."
Lesley said.
"That's true. Senior Brother is so strong, even if an Admiral is in front of him, he can run away if he can't win. My worry was unnecessary."
Kano scratched his head and said.
Athena, who was closest to Nox, was protected by the glowing three-gem necklace on her chest.
So she wasn't knocked unconscious by Nox's Haoshoku Haki and was still walking towards the cave.
"How can this be? This aura has actually merged with the aura of the Seven Star Sword. Could it be..."
However, she became even more worried when she felt an even more powerful aura rising.
At this moment, Nox was engaged in an intense mental clash with the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent.
Under the dual suppression of Nox's naturally strong soul and Haoshoku Haki, he was locked in a fierce battle with the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent.
However, as time passed, Nox continuously tempered his own Sword Intent with the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent.
He was originally just one step away from comprehending Sword Intent and becoming a Grand Swordmaster.
Under the tempering of the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent, he successfully comprehended his own unique Sword Intent, Limitless Sword Intent!!!
However, even after comprehending his own Limitless Sword Intent.
Nox still didn't immediately defeat the Seven Star Sword, because he wanted to comprehend another kind of Sword Intent, which was the Seven Star Sword's own Sword Intent.
At this moment, the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent was as if it had laid bare all its details, allowing Nox to feast his eyes.
No, it should be that Nox was observing from a God's-eye view, allowing him to quickly understand and comprehend the essence of this Sword Intent.
Without a doubt, as a Grand Swordmaster who had already comprehended his own Sword Intent, his progress was rapid when he went to comprehend another Sword Intent that was completely displayed before him.
While Nox was comprehending the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent, Athena walked to the cave entrance.
Looking at the Seven Star Sword in Nox's hand and the same cursed aura on his body as the Seven Star Sword, it seemed as if Nox was about to be controlled by the Seven Star Sword and become a sword slave.
"I must seal the Seven Star Sword!!"
Athena, with the gems on her chest glowing, walked towards Nox.
Although Nox was completely immersed in comprehending the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent at this moment, his body instinctively sensed a malicious presence approaching.
Instinctively, his Limitless Sword Intent merged into his Haoshoku Haki, and a sharp aura rushed towards Athena.
The three gems, which were emitting a faint light, could previously block the impact of Nox's Haoshoku Haki and the Seven Star Sword's Sword Intent.
But after the Limitless Sword Intent was added, the energy of the three gems was rapidly depleting.
Even Athena could no longer get any closer to Nox.
This was the instinct of a strong person's body, just like when the Rocks Pirates held a banquet.
All the Executive Officers were completely drunk, but they weren't worried about someone ambushing them while they were drunk and asleep.
Because as soon as someone with malicious intent approached, their bodies would instinctively counterattack, unafraid of enemy sneak attacks!
"How can this be? I can't even get close!"
Athena desperately wanted to get closer to Nox, but in the end, she found that she didn't even have the qualification to approach him.
