Max sat cross-legged in silence, his eyes closed, the broken sword lying before him like a dormant beast. The training chamber was dim, only faint light from the ceiling rune stones reflecting off the jagged edge of the sword’s shattered blade.

Max calmed his breathing, entering a deep meditative state, his soul energy gently wrapping around the broken weapon. Slowly, like a whisper reaching across a void, his sword concept resonated with whatever will lingered within the blade.

He felt a pulse—not violent like before—but ancient, steady, and incomparably proud. The sword hummed softly, and in that moment, visions bloomed in Max’s mind.

He saw a lone swordsman standing amidst a mountain of corpses, his figure straight, his sword pointing toward the heavens, unbending. Countless enemies fell before him, none able to break through his stance, his blade, or even his will.

Max felt it—not just saw it—but felt the overwhelming presence of that man’s sword. It didn’t deflect attacks. It didn’t dodge them. It simply cut through them, crushed them, denied them with absolute dominance.

That sword concept... it rejected the very idea of defeat. It wasn’t fast, it wasn’t beautiful, it wasn’t fancy—it was simply invincible.

Max’s breathing turned ragged as realization dawned on him. "This sword," he whispered in awe, opening his eyes and looking down at the broken blade glowing faintly in response to his thoughts, "it contains the Concept of the Invincible Sword..."

Just the name alone sent a tremor through his heart. It was a concept born not from technique, but from spirit—an unshakable belief that no sword could be stronger, no strike could surpass it.

Max closed his eyes again, his breathing steady but shallow as he clutched the broken sword before him.

The air was still, heavy with unseen tension. He didn’t try to force the concept or dive straight into the broken sword’s legacy—no, this wasn’t a technique to be devoured or copied. It was a legacy. Something he had to understand. Something he had to feel.

His Severing Sword Concept had always been rooted in the idea of cutting through everything—matter, energy, space, and even fate itself. It was a force of destruction, of separation.

But now, holding this broken sword that once belonged to a swordsman who believed his blade could not be broken, Max was forced to question everything about his own comprehension.

"What does it mean to sever?" he murmured internally. "To cut? To slice?"

His Severing Sword Concept had strength—but it lacked soul.

Max slowly began to circulate his soul force and poured a thread of it into the broken sword. The blade trembled in his hands.

Once again, that phantom image emerged in his mind—a lone swordsman standing atop the battlefield, his sword never yielding, never bending, never defeated. It didn’t slice through the world—it commanded it.

And then Max understood something.

The Concept of Invincible Sword wasn’t about having overwhelming power—it was about unwavering conviction. The sword refused to lose. It didn’t sever with force—it severed doubt, severed fear, severed hesitation. That was why it stood undefeated.

Max inhaled deeply. He placed the broken sword down and picked up his own, then slowly rose to his feet. His eyes gleamed with clarity.

In one motion, he drew his sword and swung it forward—not against an enemy, but through the very air before him.

The air itself rippled, not with brute force, but with intent. The same intent he had witnessed in the vision. His Severing Sword Concept flared—not violently, but with unusual sharpness. It was as though the concept itself was evolving, understanding that to truly sever, one must first believe there’s nothing that cannot be cut.

He slashed again, and again, and again.

Each motion more refined. More focused. He visualized the phantom swordsman. Not to mimic him, but to absorb the essence behind his invincibility.

He infused his strikes with that belief—’My sword will not be stopped.’

The sword glowed faintly. The runes on the floor beneath him began to stir. The atmosphere in the chamber shifted. It was subtle—but undeniable.

Max didn’t stop.

His blade moved in arcs that weren’t just attacks, but questions cast into the void.

"What is a sword that cannot be broken?"

He slashed low, the air parting like water.

"What gives it the right to be invincible?"

A thrust. A recoil. He pivoted and swept the sword behind him—again, again, and again. Each time, his footwork became quieter. His breathing shallower. The sword felt heavier—not in weight, but in meaning.

And then he closed his eyes.

Not to shut the world out, but to see better. He saw himself in countless battles—some past, some future, some never real. Foes stronger, faster, more brutal. He saw his blade clash with spears, fists, fire, and fury.

And he always lost.

Because his sword was powerful, but it doubted.

"I swing to win... but deep inside, I still wonder if I can lose."

He whispered that truth to himself, and his grip trembled slightly.

He slashed again. But this time—not with force. Not with calculation.

With resolve.

’I do not doubt. My sword will land. My sword will decide.’

A hum echoed from the blade.

The broken sword resting near him shivered in response.

And then he came to stop altogether.

Max’s breath slowed, body still as stone, sword steady in hand. All around him, the air had changed. Not just the temperature or the pressure—it was something deeper.

The training chamber had become deathly quiet, as if the world itself was holding its breath. He stood in the center, runes glowing beneath his feet, his mind lost in a loop of slashes, each one sharper, cleaner, more certain than the last.

He wasn’t swinging just to cut anymore. No. He was severing. With each stroke, he poured more of his soul into it, believing—no, knowing—that nothing could stand in the path of his blade.

He remembered the phantom swordsman within the broken sword, the way every strike carried an air of invincibility, not because of brute force but because of unshakable intent.

That’s what he absorbed, what he breathed in, what he became. As the glowing sword trembled in his grip, Max let go of hesitation and cut down with a single, precise stroke.

The runes beneath him flared in blinding light. Something inside him clicked. The swirling pieces—the broken sword’s essence, the Invincible Sword’s legacy, his own belief—merged into one.

And in that moment, Max understood. Not just the art of cutting. But the very concept of severing—the separation of all things. Be it flesh, thought, or himself.

"I see." Max muttered quietly in understanding.

Buzz!

His Concept of Severing Sword surged upward, breaking through into level 2. A burst of invisible force exploded from his blade, splitting the chamber’s energy in half, as if reality itself had been cleaved.

Max opened his eyes slowly, a faint sheen of sweat on his brow, but his body calm—strangely calm.

"This... is what it means to hold a sword without doubt and a sword that has the ability to sever anything."

He looked at his own reflection in the blade.

Then at the broken sword near him, once radiating storm-like chaos, now resting quietly.
