Day 253 - 8:52 AM - Mountainous Crater, Municipality of Viga, Province of Catanduanes
A [Mechid] that wielded a melee weapon was not new, and there was a wide variety that these robots had used before. Most of these varieties involved blades of different sizes, like mounted daggers or even some sort of laser-bladed weapons.
Nonetheless, this was the first time Mark ever encountered a [Mechid] that wielded a whip-blade.
A whip-blade was a rather unusual weapon. It had an advantage over range and unpredictability compared to regular swords and lethality over whips. However, it was a weapon that no one would basically use. After all, it was never a user-friendly weapon. It was a weapon that would take years to learn and master. Furthermore, one slip-up in using this weapon could cause more damage to its user than the enemy. It also had a disadvantage when used in narrow places, and getting its blades entangled around obstacles was a problem too.
