"So this is what other people call a living sword, huh?"
Ves did not look impressed at all. He was bewildered more than anything.
As Ves and Master Benedict Cortez studied the scanning data of the plasma sword, they found it was a well-designed product of high technology.
Though the principles of plasma technology were rather clear, it was not that easy to weaponize it in a way to make it functional in mech combat.
Plasma was hot. It could melt through all kinds of alloys if it was applied to a target long enough, but no mech pilot was stupid enough to allow a plasma blade to melt through his mech with impunity.
Therefore, plasma blades needed to possess a high degree of output, but that introduced all kinds of technical challenges.
