Oh bruh he didn’t turn him into a sword. He just became immortal/half immortal. You need a lot more than that to turn into a sword
i don't know if it was a success (the emperor turning into a sword), but eating a piece of ehyrit is painful if the body rejects it which can lead to a painful death.
spoiler and opinion
he didn't kill him, he fed him a piece of ehyrit (?) which turned him into a sword.
I'm honestly torn between wanting to punch him for taking charlize moment or delighted, before someone got mad at this I'll explain why I'm feeling like this, yes I 100% agree that charlize should be the one who will kill the emperor to finish her revenge but I kinda like this plot twist of dylan turning him into a sword. based on that one page in the book I think he already knew what happened to charlize because of the way his sentence is in the scene he will kill the emperor, he already knew that her real goal is to kill the emperor and once she finishes her revenge she really doesn't a goal in her life anymore, which is true as charlize for years solely lives for her revenge but what would after that? i understand dylan point of view, he will turn the emperor into a sword for him to suffer and of course he already knows that charlize will get angry at him but that anger will spark charlize to hate him or feel betrayed which will be a reason for her to live. charlize will run away after this as her 'tool' is out of control, but after all that, she will understand that dylan isn't a tool anymore.
