The weight of 50 years - spent training to fight a demon lord - drives Salade forward. Jinx, who is no joke of a martial artist in his own right, could act as no more than a speed bump against the momentum of the incredibly dedicated Salade. Vexacion might be able to put up a better fight, but he'll still go down. Salade will get the first strike in, and smash right through Vexacion's absolute defense with Holy Truth, striking hard at Vexacion's lack of good conventional armor. Quint Wake splatters any normal dueler, but Salade is not normal at all. Carrying that 50 year burden has made him extremely resilient, definitely enough so to survive a Quint Wake and try again. Such a long time spent training isn't just for show. It has forged a brawler that can stand up to the test of Godlike, and Vexacion will learn that the hard way.
