==== Guarding Dalinar on the Emuli Front ====

When Dalinar went to Emul, Szeth and Nightblood accompanied him, wearing Lightwoven disguises.{{book ref|sa4|27}} He accompanied Dalinar on and off the battlefield,{{book ref|sa4|47}}{{book ref|sa4|50}}{{book ref|sa4|66}} with the exception of when Dalinar went to speak with [[Renarin Kholin|Renarin]].{{book ref|sa4|54}}

 

 

Szeth attended Dalinar's planning session in which he planned to confront [[Ishar]]. Szeth was surprised by the Herald's marked similarity to modern-day Shin.{{book ref|sa4|98}} Later, he handed Dalinar the original copy of [[Oathbringer (in-world)|''Oathbringer'']] as they prepared to confront Ishar.{{book ref|sa4|101}} Szeth then flew with the strike team to meet Ishar. At first, he stayed back. When Ishar summoned his Honorblade, which was previously held by Neturo-son-Vallano, Szeth's father, Szeth was shaken and collapsed. Just as Ishar was about to take Dalinar's bond to the [[Stormfather]], Szeth stepped in and used Nightblood to slash the [[Connection]]. He then collapsed the perpendicularity, and, raging at Ishar, struck the Honorblade with Nightblood, leaving a chip in the Honorblade.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

 

Szeth then went to Taravangian's makeshift prison, intending to kill him. An incredibly dumb and emotional Taravangian was unable to stop him, but fortunately was pulled into a vision by Odium right as Szeth was stabbing him with an ordinary knife. Taravangian used the slowing of time to grab Nightblood and stab Rayse, killing him. Taravangian then Ascended to Odium.{{book ref|sa4|113}} Szeth re-sheathed Nightblood, and, mistaking Rayse's corpse for Taravangian's and thinking the deed done, left. He confessed to the murder of Taravangian, supposing him to have somehow drawn Nightblood and been consumed by it.{{book ref|sa4|114}}
