However, Wain was not one to rely on fate, but he awakened the mind in his weapon himself. Many conditions had to be met for this to happen, but the most basic was to understand that the weapon was the most important thing except for oneself.

'Come on. It's not as hard as it looks, you can definitely do it.' Wain said to himself, looking at Gisle, 'Your katana has already absorbed a huge amount of energy from you all this time, which is why it still hasn't broken even though it's a common weapon. All you have to do is just take the first step and open up access to your soul.'

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Gisle's heart was beating fast as waves of shivers ran through his body. Streams of blood still flowed from his wounds, bringing him pain and gradually making him weaker, but then Gisle paid absolutely no attention to it as his mind was elsewhere.

'I don't know how, but when I restrained myself from using energy and fended off a few attacks, I felt something strange, as if someone was trying to reach me. Shit looks like Wain wasn't actually lying to me. I thought he was exaggerating, but... damn, this is really happening...' Gisle inwardly muttered a slow step forward.

There was only darkness all around him as far behind him was his Soul Temple with his massive soul. Normally it was just an endless space with nothing but his soul, but Gisle felt he was getting somewhere soon.

Time here lasted differently as everything depended on his mind, so the deeper he plunged into the depths of his consciousness the more time slowed down.

"Agh... I've had enough. Even if there is something here I seem to be going down the wrong path... At this rate, I'll wipe my feet in powder even if none of this is real." Gisle shook his head.

Then, he took a deep breath and his gaze turned serious, "Hey, if I can really awaken your consciousness, then that means you and I must be alike, so I'll be straightforward. Give me some kind of sign, something so I can find you or I'll just turn around and walk away."

Gisle waited, but there was no response, so he decided to turn around and was about to take the first step on his way back.

"Well, well, I thought you were more patient." Suddenly a voice came from nowhere as streams of wind appeared amidst the vast darkness.

Gisle said nothing, he just smiled slightly and turned around to see whoever was speaking, or else, his weapon.

It was a tall girl with long white hair and an open dress, not restricting her movements, but leaving her elegant. The girl was beautiful, but she possessed a deadly aura and her grey eyes were as sharp as blades.

"So... It's you..." Gisle muttered with relief as if he had finally found what he had been looking for for a very long time.

"Yeah... Honestly, it's a bit disappointing that you needed the help of the Nameless King, the strongest in history, just to find me!" The girl pouted, puffing her cheeks as she turned away.

"Hey, no offense, I tried to do it myself, honestly..." Gisle smiled, awkwardly scratching the back of her head, "By the way, how do you even know all this?"

"Hmm? Have you suddenly gone dumb?" Girl's eyebrow raised in a confusion, "Obviously I heard the whole conversation, so I know about Wain about as much as you do."

"I see..." Gisle nodded slightly as his gaze suddenly became serious, "I may have been delayed, but now we're finally together, so let's show Wain what the two of us can do!"

The girl was surprised as her eyes went wide for a moment, then she said, "Okay, I don't mind, but you do realize there's no way we can win, right?"

"Sure, that's not a problem since I've already won. Most battles happen because someone wants to win to get a reward, so I have already won since you are my reward." Gisle said calmly, perhaps it was trivial, but the girl was still embarrassed with flushed cheeks.

"Fine..." The girl nodded, "However before we go back to the real world there's something you have to do."

"Hmm?" Gisle tilted her head giving her a questioning look.

"A name... You have to give me a name..." The girl whispered, but Gisle heard her clearly.

Gisle's eyes went wide as he crossed his arms over his chest, "As you wish. In that case, your name will be Vexa."

"Vexa...? Are objections accepted?"

"No." Gisle said seriously.

Vexa smiled, "Good, I wasn't going to change anything anyway. A name like that suits me just fine."

"Well, in that case, we should be getting back, shouldn't we?" Gisle asked.

"Yeah..." Vexa nodded.

Whoooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, Gisle's energy intensified as he canceled the Beyond action as well as the Form. A huge amount of energy went to his wounds to stop the bleeding and heal them to some extent, as much as possible.

'Wain, it looks like he's made it.' Gladius said seriously.

"Yeah, I wouldn't expect anything less from him, though." Wain grinned as he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

Gradually Gisle's energy ran out since he had fully expended it, so he just rose abruptly to his feet with an excited look. He would no longer have any energy in this fight, but now he had a real weapon with a new appearance as runes appeared on the blade of his katana and several white bandages on its hilt now fluttered open.
