After the battle of [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], he swears his the third ideal: “I swear to follow the will of Dlainar Kholin. This is my oath." and becomes a full radiant. {{book ref|sa3|121}}
=== Battle of Thaylen Field and Aftermath ===
Szeth arrives to Thaylen just in time for battle and meets [[Lift]]. She lets him know Dalinar has asked him to get a gemstone that the Fused have and he decides to help her.
He draws his sword ([[Nightblood]]) and starts to fight. He finds purpose wielding his sword and putting his trust in Dalinar. He swept through the enemy’s army, the red-eyed soldiers turning to black smoke. He thirsted for death but could never enjoy it. He kept killing until a female voice, Lift’s voice, stopped him. He couldn’t let the sword go, it was consuming him and his soul. Lift got to him, held his face and sent stormlight into him, trying to feed the sword, but it started to drain her too as black veins started to grow on her arms. {{book ref|sa3|118}}
At that time, Dalinar became Unity and infused all the gemstones in the floor, which was enough to free them both. With a grey face, Szeth got blade back into its sheath. {{book ref|sa3|119}}
After that he did meet with Dalinar and the rest of the radiants. He explained his loyalty and is given the task of helping Lift with the gemstone. He envies [[Kaladin]] for having the honor of protecting Dalinar, but did not complain and went to fulfill his task. {{book ref|sa3|120}}
Szeth confronts the fused who have the gemstones and is out skilled. They outnumber him and are more skilled. The gem is taken by a Fused who can do abrasion and makes it very slippery so only she can hold it. Though Szeth feels beaten, Lift has a plan. He is able to trick the Fused as she underestimated his abilities with surges and catches the gem on a jacket that they successfully swap with a carefully cut rock. {{book ref|sa3|120}}
The task ends up being fulfilled by Lift who is able to get into the mists surrounding Dalinar; a task that Szeth did not want to do. {{book ref|sa3|120}}.
After the battle is over, he and [[Nale]] have a conversation where Szeth swears the 3rd oath and becomes full radiant. Nale confirms he lost his ability for compassion after the tortures and that is why he will follow someone else, the law of the Singers. He will continue to train Szeth even if they meet in battle and fight each other. {{book ref|sa3|121}}
Szeth wants to go back to Shinovar and cleanse the Shin of their false leaders. {{book ref|sa3|121}}
He then becomes Dalinar’s bodyguard. {{book ref|sa3|122}}
