Chapter 293: The History of the Seven Star Sword
"More than 1,000 years ago, the kingdom of Askar was a prosperous and powerful country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It has a vast land, abundant materials, a pleasant climate, and under the wise leadership of the king, the life of the people is very comfortable and rich. ”
Maya whispered about the strength of Askar's kingdom, but then her tone turned heavy as her tone changed.
"But one day, it was in this paradise that a [demon] suddenly appeared!"
"Demon ???" xN
The Straw Hats were stunned for a moment, but there were so many strange things they had heard on this magical sea, so after being a little stunned, they calmed down again.
"It was a demon with seven eyes and black flames burning all over it, devouring hope and unleashing despair, burning under the darkness of hell and illuminating by the ominous blood-colored moon, it was filled with fear, chaos, collapse, madness, and death everywhere it went, like hell on earth!"
"My ancestors called that demon Azathoth, which means: the flame of calamity from hell. ”
"Azathoth......" Robin repeated the name softly, recalling it slightly, frowning slightly.
She recalled for a long time, but she didn't think of the historical documents that had anything to do with the name "Azathoth".
Because of the existence of the blank 100 years from 900 to 800 years ago, archaeologists know very little about the history of a thousand years ago, or even longer, that is, Robin was born and O'Hara, otherwise she would not have even heard of the ancient country of Askar.
Nami wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and asked, "Then since this demon is so evil, your ancestors must not be waiting to be killed, right?"
"Yes. Maya nodded.
At that time, the wise and powerful king of Askar naturally would not let Azathoth continue to plague his people, but he did not know how to defeat that demon, no matter how heroic and warlike the army was, it would lose all its courage in front of Azathoth, and then in fear and despair, it would be swallowed up by endless black flames. ”
The king appealed to [the gods] for help, hoping that the great gods would show a way for his country. ”
"God?" Chopper suddenly looked confused: "Is that the scary guy we met when we met on the Sky Island, that one who can discharge?"
"What stupid are you talking about, Chopper, where does that long earlobe look like a god?" Sanji lit a cigarette and pointed at a stupid cargo captain.
"If he really wants to be a god, how can he be beaten by Luffy?"
(God...... Hehe, it's really in that era, there were guys who called themselves gods. )
Thinking of the group of world nobles who now live in the Holy Land, Sherlock's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look.
"The gods told the king of Askar: To defeat that demon, you need to forge the strongest sword in the world, and let the strongest swordsmen use it, so that you can defeat Azathoth. ”
The blue-haired girl paused and continued, "As you know, the kingdom of Askar is famous for forging swords. ”
After following the advice of the gods, the king mobilized the strength of the whole country, and let the most skilled swordsmith at that time use it as a rare material, and finally created a [strongest sword] that carries the hope of the people of the whole country. ”
Then this holy sword was handed over to the strongest swordsman in the world at that time, and it was also the only son of King Askar, His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Oh, was the world's greatest swordsman a thousand years ago?" a green algae head who had been listening suddenly became interested.
The combination of the strongest sword and the strongest swordsman reminded Zoro of Hawkeye and the world's number one black knife in his hand, Night.
"The prince wielded the holy sword in his hand, carrying the hope of the people of the whole country, and engaged in a fierce battle against the demon Azathoth, a symbol of despair."
"After seven days and seven nights of fierce fighting, the prince's holy sword defeated the demon as the gods prophesied!"
"The demon was extremely evil, but its eyes were as beautiful as the stars in the sky. In order to proclaim his prowess and exploits, the prince gouged out all seven eyes of Azathoth and embedded them in the body of the holy sword. ”
"At this point, this strongest sword also has its own name......"
“…… Seven Star Sword "xN
Everyone muttered to themselves in unison, and after learning about the process of the birth of the Seven Star Sword, they were full of curiosity about the next development of things.
"But Maya. Usopp blinked, "Since that demon is dead, why is the kingdom of Askar still dead?"
"Dead? no, no, no...... This was only the beginning of that cataclysm. Maya shook her head, her large, charming eyes looking complicated.
"After inlaying the seven eyes of Azathoth into the sword, the prince was shocked to find that the seven-star sword actually possessed the demon's ability to control black flames!"
With this terrifying ability, the prince who held the seven-star holy sword became unprecedentedly powerful, and as if to show off his strength, the prince actually led the army to launch a foreign war. ”
"The black flame is rising, the sword aura is rampant, no one is the prince's opponent anymore, he waved the seven-star sword in his hand, and almost conquered the entire sea area. ”
"The Seven-Star Holy Sword is so powerful that even though the prince's willpower is extremely strong, he himself is gradually losing himself in this powerful force. ”
Soon after, the curse of the devil came. Maya's expression was serious and terrifying.
"After using the Seven-Star Sword for a long time, the flames of calamity completely eroded the prince's sanity, turning him into a puppet controlled by the Seven-Star Sword. ”
The wise king of Askar was troubled, and he urged his son to throw away the seven-star sword, but the prince did not listen, and instead pierced his father's chest with the seven-star sword. ”
The expressions of Robin and the others changed slightly, and several of them were already vaguely aware of the next development of the matter.
"As the king's blood-stained crown fell to the ground, the cataclysm of all time broke out!"
"Under the moon of weeping blood, calamity returned, the dark evil flame rose, despair spread like a plague, and the whole country was reduced to a sea of fire. ”
A look of regret flashed in Maya's eyes, and she sighed: "The kingdom of Aska is now destroyed. ”
After listening to the blue-haired girl's story, Nami and the others, who knew the truth about the fall of the Askar Kingdom, glanced at each other, and their hearts were very heavy.
"Maybe even the gods can't stand it, but just as the prince was about to kill the last survivors of the kingdom, a blood-red thunderbolt struck him, causing him to regain his senses for a short time. Maya sighed lightly and continued:
The prince was so grief-stricken that he wanted to destroy the Seven-Star Sword, but the Seven-Star Sword was too powerful to be destroyed. ”
So in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, the prince chose to sacrifice himself while he was still sane, and sealed the Seven Star Sword on a desert island with his life. ”
"And after the survivors of the Askar Kingdom left their homeland, which was already like hell on earth, they also migrated to the sealed land of the Seven Star Sword, and settled down there, guarding them for generations to prevent the calamity from hell from rekindling!"
"Those survivors are my ancestors, and that desert island is the Lost Island. ”
