Chapter 202: Looking for it Again
’I didn’t notice it last time, but why does this sword have Dragon engravings?’ he curiously wondered to himself.
Lumi stayed silent, as even she had no idea about it.
As soon as he neared the sword, its tranquil stillness abruptly transformed, emitting a fierce, oppressive wave of chilling sword intent.
Orion, however, calmly stood his ground, his enhanced mental resilience now easily withstanding the sword’s oppressive pressure compared to his previous struggle.
"Still stubborn, I see," Orion murmured gently, stepping forward unhurriedly, his voice steady and confident. "Let’s see if you’ll be so rebellious this time around."
The sword’s aura pulsed sharply, intensifying its pressure as if defiantly attempting to challenge Orion’s determination.
Yet, Orion felt significantly less difficulty compared to his previous encounter, his strengthened Sea of Consciousness effortlessly absorbing and dispersing the relentless pressure.
Finally reaching out, Orion confidently grasped the sword’s hilt firmly in his mental grip. Immediately, he swung it gracefully through the azure mists, testing its weight and responsiveness.
Though the sword obediently allowed itself to be wielded, Orion distinctly sensed lingering resistance and faint rejection from within its core.
"Still unwilling, hmm?" Orion mused thoughtfully, carefully analyzing the sword’s subtle reactions. "But far less rebellious than before. Seems I’m slowly earning your approval."
He lightly smiled, convinced that soon the sword would completely acknowledge and accept him.
