During his endless training and experiments, he thought to himself that
'What if I don't just enhance the blade?'
'... What if the sword itself became the spell?'
The idea manifested in his mind, and after countless failures and attempts…
*Woommm… Bzzzt…!*
Mana surged through his veins.
Dawnbreaker seemed to vibrate in his grip.
"Fusion Magic: Arc of Lightspeed."
The blade shuddered like it was trying to break open the blade itself.
Crimson and golden light coiled along the metal.
The blade itself blurred, growing brightly that it refused to stay still.
'Still need more practice.'
But it was definitely enough for now.
Then Nero struck.
*Swiiiiisssh–!*
The short blade, which was supposed to be a fixed metal, dematerialized into a sharp light towards the monster.
There was no suspense.
With a fluid motion, the swing passed through the Colossus in a single, clean flash.
There was no spray of blood.
No frantic regeneration.
No slow collapse.
