And he caught Rayse by surprise. Something that is pretty hard to do when someone is trying to kill you. 11 minutes ago, Frustration said: Why would he bother being terrified of a man locked up. It says feared not terrified, I can fear getting in a car crash whilst not actively defending against it. 11 minutes ago, Frustration said: You underestimate how hard a Radiant is to kill. You underestimate the pull of Nightblood. 11 minutes ago, Frustration said: Only if there is a way to learn they have spent seven thousand years at war, not school. “Though all the Fused were warriors, many had other skills. Some were engineers, scientist, architects...but the time they had to grow since was expansive” RoW chapter 14 Edit: I don’t think there is much else I can say. I’ve given my points you’ve given yours. I don’t agree with you and you don’t agree with me.

Becasue it can be used to parry. I haven't seen anything confirming this. We saw his mind, he wasn't even thinking about Nightblood. How are you going to surprise him with a thousand troops? Leaving the sword in Radiant hands is an incredibly costly decesion. It doesn't matter how strong Nightblood is if the wielder isn't strong enough! Its not some sort of super-weapon that always ensures victory. Szeth almost died in OB when they took the sheath. Its just not probable that by permanently killing a few Fused a day, they would win the war. The enemy would catch up soon and throw everything they have at him. And Odium's air forces outnumber the Windrunners. And there's a thousand other littler problems since if there was an alternate, better way to win the war, BS would put in some variables that would make it impossible. There's probably a lot of ralkalest, and probably in more convenient shapes, and I don't even remember them trying to parry with it. Renarin was near Szeth and so Odium couldn't see the sword. They have a lot of ralkalest, and probably in more convenient shapes. I don't remember Fused who went after him even trying to block, he was specifically focused on the sheath. Raboniel, Leshwi. Maybe some are dense but a lot of Fused are smart. All it takes is one Fused to figure it out, and, anyway, its obvious so they wouldn't even need anyone particularly smart. We saw in his mind for, maybe, 5 minutes. Tell me why he wouldn't focus on the weapon that killed his predecessor. Edited April 14, 2021 by Listener

Its amusing to see how far it's strayed.
