After concluding an exploratory spar, Ketis developed a good understanding of Ves' upgraded combat prowess.
The swordmaster was a scary opponent to fight against.
Perhaps Ves could crush her if he unfolded his true body and tanked her powerful blows, but he saw no way he could beat her if he restricted himself to infantry scale.
Ves always heard many praises about her combat prowess, but it was only when he faced her with a weapon of his own that he understood the gulf between her and other fighters.
Swordmasters were serious business.
Even if they had become mostly obsolete by the time humans adopted mechs and warships as their preferred combat platforms, that did not diminish the lethality of swordmasters in the slightest.
Ves could not imagine how much scarier it would be if he faced her while she was wielding her Bloodsinger or her Heavensword as opposed to a random metal rod!
