Chapter 872: 872 Repel

"Looks like you're beginning to understand." Gladius said as he saw the gleam in Vexa's eyes, "Look, I already told you that we, weapons with a mind should be more important than energy, number two, right after themselves."

"I understand you...but, how is that possible?!" Vexa exclaimed in disbelief, "How can I consider myself equal to Gisle if for his sake I can't even repel one blow of yours! I mean... My mind has awakened only now, so all that time what he achieved was without me!"

Gladius remained silent until he blew out a cloud of smoke and said, "Yeah, I understand you, your words make sense, but what about me?"

"Agh? You...?" Vexa was puzzled.

"You probably think I shouldn't have a problem like you, but is that possible? I am the sword of the Wain Norheim, of the Nameless King. As talented as Gisle is, he still has a long way to go to Wain's level. In other words, the difference between me and Wain is far greater than the difference between you and Gisle, and yet you still consider yourself unworthy." Gladius muttered shaking his head.

Vexa didn't know what to say, she was just speechless. She understood that Gladius was right, Gisle had most of his accomplishments yet to come while Wain was a true living legend as well as a myth that had been revived, it just couldn't be compared.

"Then what should I do...? How do I consider myself equal to Gisle? How do you deal with that feeling of devouring from within?" Vexa asked, hoping Gladius could help her.

"I just accepted myself for who I am." Gladius shrugged nonchalantly, "They are human, so they have their own goals and objectives, we are weapons and we are completely different. I'm perfectly capable of my main task, to kill. My blade by itself is useless, but if I'm in Wain's hands, I become a deadly weapon and do anything to cut anyone. Do exactly the same."

"Right... I have a mind, but I am not a human, I am a weapon... and my main task is to make sure that Gisle can kill any opponent..." Vexa murmured while her voice gradually became a whisper, it was as if she was reading ancient scriptures, then her appearance began to change.

"Hahaha, exactly. I thought it would take us longer, but you turned out to be quite clever." Gladius grinned as he prepared for battle, "Think back all your way. All this time you've been slashing enemies, bringing pain and blood to others along with Gisle. You did it before, so keep doing it now!"

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Vexa's aura intensified as her eyes became sharp as deadly blades. Calm streams of wind began to emanate from her arms, legs, back, and hair as if she could disappear at any moment, just evaporate, but she was in complete control of her power.

"You're right, weapons can't have weapons, for there is simply no need for them, for we are weapons ourselves!" Vexa said calmly before stepping forward.

She gradually grew faster until she was like lightning instantly reaching Gladius. Vexa's eyes were calm as she swung her folded palm like a sharp blade.

Gladius smirked and jumped back at the last moment as Vexa's palm swept right before his eyes.

"What do you say?" Vexa asked with an icy stare, staring intently at Gladius.

Crackle.

At the same moment, the cigarette clamped between Gladius' teeth split in two as if someone had cut it with an incredibly sharp blade.

"Not bad. Looks like you're ready to take my test, so I'll have to get serious." Gladius tossed his cigarette aside, stretched his neck, and headed forward.

He walked slowly as each step he took made Vexa shudder. She knew she didn't stand a chance against Gladius, but she just had to repel one of his blows. Vexa watched his every move carefully until suddenly Gladius was gone.

Whooooooooooosh.

Before she knew it, his fist was already aiming at her face, to the left, with tremendous power.

'Here!' Vexa's pupils narrowed as she leaned back slightly. His fist flew in front of her face, then Vexa turned into a torrent of wind and was instantly behind Gladius.

His back was right in front of her, so she instantly attacked, intending to pierce him through.

"Fast, very fast, but you know, that's not my top speed." Gladius chuckled evilly, exuding an eerie aura.

Whooooooooooosh.

Right before her attack, Gladius' hand covered Vexa's face as he squeezed her head with force, it seemed he could crush her at any moment.

'Shit! He got me, but... I can still do it!' Vexa internally exclaimed as her eyes shone brightly. Within the appeared whirls as a powerful stream of wind burst out of her hair.

Gladius' grip loosened for a moment, so Vexa had a chance to defeat him. She flung Gladius' arm aside in a fluid motion and spun ninety degrees, thrusting her leg into his stomach at lightning speed.

The kick caused a shockwave as streams of wind spread dozens of meters around, however, Gladius was not thrown back and his face was not twisted in pain.

"Well done. You were finally able to do it, even though it took you some time." Gladius smirked, holding Vexa's leg tightly, "If it were anyone else in my place, your leg would definitely go through."

​ Whooooooooosh.

Gladius swung his arm, tossing Vexa aside, she prepared to fight, but he wasn't going to attack as he did so to show Vexa, his wounded palm.

"You passed. You didn't just repel my attack, you also managed to damage me. That's quite commendable. Hahahahaha." Gladius laughed like a teacher seeing his student's first successes.

Vexa sighed with relief, then her gaze became serious, she bowed and said, "Thank you very much. Maybe if it weren't for you, I never would have realized who I am."

"You shouldn't. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. Let's keep fighting, Gisle still has to break his barrier." Gladius said disappearing into the darkness, "However, I'm not going to hold back anymore, so get ready."
