Chapter 247: The Cursed Sword’s New Form
"You are stopping us because of the Seven Star Sword?" Mio asked calmly.
Hearing this, the witch's eyes widened in shock. She quickly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Are you here for the Seven Star Sword? No, no, that sword is cursed. If you obtain it, you'll be controlled by it, and it will bring great disaster!"
"We are indeed here for the Seven Star Sword," Mio replied without any sign of concern. "But being controlled by a sword? That's not possible."
With that, Mio turned and walked directly into the castle, uninterested in further debate.
The witch tried to rush forward to stop him, but before she could make a move, Erica turned her head slightly. A fierce aura burst forth from her body, washing over the area like a crashing wave. The pressure was so immense that the witch's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Without pause, the group followed Mio deeper into the castle.
They ascended the stairway and arrived at a large room. Mio's eyes lit up as soon as he entered. His gaze landed on a sarcophagus placed at the center.
Erica, holding an ant between her fingers, looked toward the sarcophagus and said, "This is it. The ants mentioned something inside that emits a terrifying presence. They're scared of it."
"It's definitely not normal," Bai Feng added, his tone serious. "There's a murderous aura coming from it that's strong enough to be sensed clearly."
Mio smirked. "Interesting."
With no hesitation, he kicked the sarcophagus open. Inside lay a sword—a long blade that shimmered like it was forged from gemstones. It was the Seven Star Sword.
