Unknown to Grey, the moment he tried to simulate the Piercing Sword, the eyes of the massive statue suddenly shone with a strange glint.
However, Grey was too deep in thought to notice the subtle change. His entire mind was focused on the sword intent he had sensed from the statue, leaving him completely oblivious to everything happening around him.
Instead, he continued trying to execute the Piercing Sword several more times with his purple sword.
Yet every attempt ended in failure.
No matter how he tried to replicate the mysterious sword technique, he could not capture its true essence. His movements lacked the strange profundity contained within the statue's faded sword, and the sword intent he produced was merely an imitation of what he had sensed.
Eventually, the coldness that had filled the entire Corroded Zone slowly began to dissipate.
