Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cursed Sacred Sword

【Legend...... It all started when the red moon rose, and tragedy began......]

Ninety percent of the land of Aska Island is made up of unpredictable nature. In the race of natural selection, plants survive to the end, and humans lose to nature because of their own ugly struggle.

No matter how badly treated they were, the aborigines of Askar Island, who have lived here for generations, have not thought of leaving, which is of course a deeper reason for relying on this land where their ancestors have lived for generations...... The reason is that even if their lives are in danger, they will never tell the truth!

Hidden Village.

The biggest secret of Askar Island, located in the middle of the island, is a naturally formed basin.

Outsiders must risk their lives to get there through layers of dangerous woods, but here, there are small villages that seem to be like paradise.

Its inhabitants are remnants of the primeval kingdom of Askar, and some of them are members of the ancient royal bloodline. Adhering to the last wishes of their ancestors, they have guarded this land for generations, praying day after day for the mercy and alms of the Seven Stars of Askar to ensure that this land will never be plagued.

In the center of the village is an old altar with cracks and green moss that tells the story of a veteran of a hundred battles.

Strangely dressed and gorgeously dressed women knelt on the altar and led the women of the village in their daily prayers.

Nowadays, there are many strange phenomena in this world that can be solved by science, even the magical devil fruit, there is a group of extreme scientists who have to use scientific theories to prove that it is not difficult for human wisdom, and one day it will be able to surpass it! In fact, someone has already made a semi-finished Devil Fruit, and the research project is still being perfected step by step.

Then, in parallel with it, is whether God exists.

Even in this magical world, many people do not believe in such things, and as for ghosts and gods, they are also regarded as superstitions. However, whether God really does not exist, whether heaven and hell are the destination of human beings, these things can only be concluded after human beings have died once.

At least, on this island of Askar, the gods exist.

It was a miraculous phenomenon, and only on this island, on this island of Askar at night, could one see seven stars arranged in a pattern, only in the night sky of this island.

It is the great star known as the Seven Stars of Askar, and the invincible Seven Star Sword and three pieces of jade as a shield given to the Kingdom of Askar in ancient times are the mercy of the Seven Stars God of Askar. Perhaps some archaeologists or more rational people will think that the so-called Seven Star God is nothing more than an illusion made up by the ancestors, and that the Seven Star Sword and the Three Treasure Jade are all products made in the world.

But in this hidden village on Askar Island, these shrine maidens praying for peace do have incredible power.

Prayer once a day is a common practice in the village, and everyone spends this sacred moment in peace.

"Luna."

The man with the sword on his back gently called out to the girl who stepped down from the altar, but the petite and cute girl did not have the liveliness and motivation that a girl of this age should have.

With a face as delicate and perfect as a doll, everyone in the village said that the child was a gift from the god of the Seven Stars of Askar. And the beautiful girl named Luna does show extraordinary talent, at the age of sixteen, she has been positioned as the next witch and village chief, this child has the ability to talk to the Seven Star God of Ascar!

A faint smile flashed on her delicate little face, and she nodded lightly at the man, walking towards him without hurrying.

"What's the matter, you look preoccupied."

"Can you see that?"

"Well, I can feel that Luna's breath is a little heavy."

I don't know if it has something to do with the conversation between the gods, but the girl named Luna has a calmness and wisdom that surpasses that of adults, so much so that everyone except the man in front of her and her mother, who is the head of the village, distances herself from her with awe.

Gently brushing her beautiful long silver-white hair, the girl can only show the most beautiful smile in the world to the man in front of her.

A man in his thirties can fully evolve into a species called "Uncle", who drifted to Askar Island three years ago due to an accident and was taken care of in various ways by this hidden village. The people in the village are good people, and as long as they are not malicious invaders, they will not hesitate to lend a hand.

Even if it is called a hidden village, it is not 100% safe, since the era of the pirates, the peace of the past has been broken, and day after day greedy people have set foot on this island to hunt for treasure, and the good guy has indeed set foot on this hidden village.

But as if there was really heavenly help, the man who happened to come to this island, Giruku Slyman, became the patron saint of this village! As a former kingdom warrior, he stayed in this village for some reason, and that superb force was by no means something that a mere pirate could hostile!

And all this, whether it is the advent of the era of pirates or the arrival of Giruku, was foreseen in advance by a girl named Luna!

Grabbing his brown-green bangs indiscriminately, Giruku, who had a casual face, showed a serious look.

"So, what did the god tell you?"

It's not a good thing to be able to unsettle Luna, and Giruku is ready to slash all dangers by his sword.

The petite and pitiful girl gently clasped her hands and closed her beautiful eyes like black pearls. Even if she is feared by the villagers, the girl chosen by the gods is pure and kind both physically and mentally, and she doesn't want to involve him in danger again when she is kind to Jiruku, who has guarded the village many times, but if it is this person, I am afraid that he will not be honest and obedient.

"Powerful evil will come, and the cursed seven-star sword will awaken again. 】”

The great proverb of the gods said, and Giruku couldn't help but frown when he heard that the cursed seven-star sword would awaken again.

For countless years since the kingdom was shattered, the only destiny of this Iskar Island was to seal the cursed Seven-Star Sword! Whether it is the inhabitants of the West Coast port, or this hidden village that prays for peace day and night, they all exist to seal the cursed seven-star sword!

Seven Star Sword.

It wasn't a great treasure as rumored to be, the real Seven-Star Sword was an ironic cursed sword.

【Legend...... It all started when the red moon rose, and tragedy began......]

[On that bad night, the three princes of the Askar Kingdom met a beautiful shrine maiden for the first time together and fell in love with her at the same time. 】

[In order to win the love of the shrine maiden, the three princes took out the seven-star sword that symbolized the throne and started a fight. 】

[Ugly struggle between brothers began, and the earth and sea wept because of the grief of countless innocent victims. 】

[Then, the Seven-Star Sword, which absorbed the blood and resentment of countless people, attracted killing and destruction, and turned into a cursed demon sword, causing the complete destruction of the Askar Kingdom. 】

Giruku was not interested in legends or anything, but he knew what the people of the village prayed for day and night. If the so-called Seven Star Sword is resurrected, it seems that it will become a terrible situation.

Giruku was not interested in the Seven Star Sword, the gods, or the legends. He would only swing the sword in his hand for the sake of that girl, cutting off the uneasiness in her heart!

"All in all, it means that someone will come to the village and grab the sword, and then things will get bigger, right?"

Luna nodded, and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Giruku with a big grin.

Then things are simple and straightforward! As long as you drive that so-called evil away, you'll be fine, right? ”

"But ......"

"Don't worry! I'm a battle-hardened warrior! There's no enemy I can't beat! ”

"Ahh

Ruddidly rubbed Luna's hair with those big hands, and the man who had only lived for fighting all his life wanted to give the girl a little confidence in his own nonsense comforting way.

The delicate girl who is as delicate as a doll no longer resists, and has been feared by the people around her since she was born, only Giruku will not change her attitude towards herself because of that identity, she is just a child to this world, relying on Giruku's strength.

As if the sky was falling, Giruku would be on top of it, and the girl smiled sweetly and nodded her little head heavily.

"Hmm!"

At the same time, the ports of the West Coast.

A jaw-dropping scene was unfolding in the open-air restaurant, where a large table of ten people was filled with empty rice bowls.

The diners around him covered their mouths with pale faces, even if food was delicious, there was a limit. When I saw that the two men ate so much food in a row, the guests who hadn't eaten it felt full, and even a little sick to their stomachs when they looked at it again, are those two really human?!

The young boy looked like he had been sealed and hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, so he even gave up his chopsticks and grabbed them directly, and his gobbling up gesture really made the diners around him feel what it means to eat in despair.

And the young man sitting across from him was even more excessive, obviously using the utensils in a proper manner, and even having a little bit of incomprehensible table manners in it, but why did he destroy the food faster than the gluttonous boy!

Compared to people like these two monsters, their companions are much more normal. After ordering only a bowl of ramen and a pudding, the girl sat there sulking and muttering to herself.

"What, it's just a little bit better than what I made, just a little bit......"

The hill of cutlery had been stacked to the point of crumbling, and the boy was gobbling it up while screaming about the deliciousness, causing the viewer to wonder if the child would bite his tongue down.

"Already...... There are no more ingredients to make...... The head chef is already exhausted and fainted......"

The shopkeeper doesn't know whether to be happy or sad, because there are often strong dragons crossing the sea on this island, I just hope that these three guys can pay for it, if they run away after eating, they will lose a lot of money today!

A pair of strong hands pushed away the hill of cutlery, revealing the figure of the young man in the middle, who took a bite of the flesh to the bone, and said with great interest.

"The invincible holy sword, it's quite interesting~"
