"Weapon Master" Convinces Chief Swordsmaster Kaser

Mika Wright immediately felt the recoil from the collision.

His sword was deflected by a tremendous force, but fortunately he had anticipated this and struggled to twist his arm to control the blade.

In their first encounter, Wright proved his earlier assessment correct: to defeat Thierry, skill was the only way.

Wright, with his hands behind his back, swept his sword across the blade and delivered a "Tanvira Style with a backhand, forcing Thierry back.

The "Weapon Master's " eyes flashed. Wright's attack was somewhat similar to the second move of "Osberh-Vaya," but also different.

He grew increasingly curious about the "Elvira" sword technique and used the 16th move of "Osberh-Vaya" to deliver a series of thrusts to Wright.

Wright raised his sword horizontally, using the "Uvessa Style" to deflect the swift thrust.

Then, using the immense force exerted by Thierry, he twisted the blade with his arm, parrying two consecutive thrusts diagonally to the left and right.

The blades clashed, and the energy fields hissed and crackled.

After three unsuccessful attacks, the "Weapon Master" discovered that Wright was using three defensive sword techniques. These techniques skillfully controlled power and utilized the potential energy and angle of the sword to deflect the force of his attacks during the clash, thus maximizing the compensation for Wright's weakness in strength.

While Thierry was pondering, Wright launched a counterattack, pouring all his strength into a downward, diagonal slash from left to right.

The "Velabei Style," unleashed with all its might, flashed with Psionic Energy.

The power contained in the swordplay made the eyes of the "Warrior" watching from the sidelines light up; the strength of Chief Sword Master Kaser was beyond their expectations.

The Warrior weren't worried about their Knight Lord; they were simply looking forward to seeing how he would defeat his opponents.

The "Weapon Master" twisted his arm, raising the blade and using the tip to block the edge, in accordance with the sixth principle of the "Osberh-Waya" way.

Wright was knocked back a step, then leaped at Thierry, aiming straight for Thierry's throat.

"Elka Style!"

The Kaser People below the arena cried out in alarm when they saw Master Wright unleash the deadly strike of the "Elvira" sword technique.

At the last possible moment, the "Weapon Master" reversed his upward arm and brought his sword tip precisely to Wright's sword tip—a clever application of the sixth principle of the "Osberh-Vaya" Way.

The Kaser People Shock to see that Master Wright's Death Strike had been thwarted.

Wright realized that Thierry's swordsmanship was superb, and even disregarding Thierry's advantage in strength and speed, he would find it difficult to defeat him.

As Wright pondered, the "Weapon Master" displayed extraordinary agility and burst forth with astonishing speed. He lunged forward and launched a fierce attack using the seventh slashing technique of the "Osberh-Vaya" technique.

Wright realized that Thierry's fatal blow was unavoidable, but he did not panic.

In this situation, the only worthwhile response is to Weakening the controller's attack.

There are many forms of sword techniques to deal with this situation, collectively known as "Gekuafu Style," which means to pull back from the brink.

He imagined Thierry as an untamable steed, a wild horse that would charge headlong off the cliff no matter how much he tried to stop it.

The Ian Sword in Wright's hand transformed into a long "reins," and he was able to control its movements freely.

Thierry wanted to use a lunge stance to deliver a powerful strike, so he needed to limit the space available for the lunge.

He assumed a defensive stance, holding the sword with both hands, the hilt above his shoulders, the blade pointing downwards at a 35-degree angle to the horizontal.

The "Weapon Master" could tell from Wright's blade that if he sidestepped or stepped closer, the enemy's side blade would seize the opportunity to launch a charged attack.

The "Weapon Master" understood Wright's purpose even more clearly. He forced himself to focus on his lower body, believing that he, as a giant, was not used to attacking the area below the waist.

He believed that my attack indicated a lack of focus and a loss of balance.

The "Weapon Master's " eyes flashed; he decided to make Wright believe that he had the upper hand.

He then deliberately exposed his weakness, swinging his Power Blade at Wright's lower body.

Wright sidestepped, his "reins" influencing the height and direction of the opponent's attack.

As he slid, he swung his sword at Thierry's arm.

The "Weapon Master's " eyes flashed. Following the 23rd rule of the "Osberh-Vaya" Way, he seized the opportunity and unleashed a slash.

The Power Blade struck the blade of Wright's sword, twisting and flicking.

Wright felt an irresistible force on the sword in his hand, and his sword immediately flew out of his hand, flying several meters away.

"Master Wright... has been defeated..."

The Kaser People stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"I've lost, lost to your swordsmanship," Wright said bitterly. He knew that if Thierry had used his strength and agility, he might have already defeated him.

"Your swordsmanship is also admirable; few can match it," the "Weapon Master" exclaimed.

"The Kaser People's 'Elvira' swordsmanship is truly superb."

After a series of exchanges, the "Weapon Master" understood why the Black Emperor had chosen this location as the recruitment world for the 8th Legion.

The quality of the Kaser People soldiers and their swordsmanship prove that they are excellent Warrior.

The "Weapon Master" looked at the sword blade on the ground and asked curiously:

"Your blades, imbued with Psionic Energy, allow you to unleash the full power of your swordsmanship."

"Yes," Wright said, "Kaser Swordsmith with exceptional sword-making skills."

"Master swordsmiths will forge swords for nobles using Rune Stone. If a noble wears a sword for a long time, the sword will be influenced by the Rune Array and gain Psionic Energy."

"But the Psionic Energy we acquire cannot be used freely; it can only be channeled into the sword to exert its power."

The "Weapon Master" frowned; he had never heard of such a method as generating Psionic Energy.

However, it would be too much of a coincidence if every nobleman could generate Psionic Energy, and Wright did not use Psionic Energy throughout the entire battle, he only infused Psionic Energy into the blade.

Thierry asked the Librarian, "Is this even possible?"

"My lord, it is indeed possible."

"Besides the mainstream Psionic Energy factions, there are also special technological factions that can forge unique Psionic Energy items."

"The Chief Librarian is researching the Heart-Forged Staff discovered by Medusa. Only a rare tech-oriented Psyker in both technology and Psionic Energy can activate the Heart-Forged Staff."

The Librarian looked at the Kaser blade that Wright had retrieved and continued.

"Kaser Swordsmith should possess some Psionic Energy skills related to technology."

"The nobles of Kaser, by carrying swords forged from Rune Stone for a long time, acquire a special Iota-class Psionic Energy, which is the lowest level of Psionic Energy that can be consciously used."

"The nobles of Kaser cannot use Psionic Energy or other spells; they can only enhance the power of their swords."

Thierry never imagined that the Kaser Swordsmith could create such a blade.

[What a pleasant surprise!]

When the Knight Lord subdued the Kaser People, selected eligible children as candidates for new recruits, and formed the Kaser Auxilia, Nimrod was also meeting with the Warrior.

"My lord, thank you for your support. Shield Guard Laurent and I will select 248 men from the Necromunda to form a complete company, including the two of us."

Lucifer Blacks Theo gratefully, "Now is the time for us to repay you."

Please accept our command.

Nimrod the back of his chair lightly with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and then said, "In that case, you should board the Shadow of the Throne and accompany me on the expedition."

He decided to first lead the "Lucifer Blacks" to Osiris to fight against the Mind-Control Species, and then decide whether to use them as guards for important figures or as regular combat troops based on their performance.

"Yes, sir," Theo said excitedly, and Laurent also lit up with joy.

Although they protected Barton Drake and participated in several battles, that was different from being an independent fighting force.

After the two left, Arsena Dunn spoke to Nimrod.

"My lord, the Emperor has summoned you, requesting that you accompany him to Nocturne to retrieve the discovered Primarch."

Upon hearing this, Nimrod thought to himself, "Nocturne and Osiris are both in the Ultima Segmentum, and there has been no rebellion yet. It wouldn't hurt to accompany the Old Man in Yellow on this trip."

Furthermore, Salamanders are very likely ingredients for potions.

With that in mind, he said, "Have the Navigator Prime, Eden Visher, plan the route and prepare to set sail."

Two days later, the fleet, centered on the Shadow of the Throne and the Judgment (named after Howard Fender) Gloriana-class Battleship, set sail.
