Ash, rather than simply wielding his sword, appears to be painting. As the sword tip slices through the void, he traces loops of sword circles in ink-streaks, like a constantly closing cage enfolding the Dazzling Star. The Dazzling Star shifts completely into a defensive stance, neither evading nor countering, as she swings billions of Starlight Swords in the most elegant arcs, impeccably shattering all the ink marks.
Starlight and ink spots bloom like flowers, adorning the colorful sea of stars with a riot of blooms. In this moment, Ash realizes that even if he binds all living Mages, he cannot surpass the Dazzling Star in swordsmanship.
For the Dazzling Star is the Mage who has traveled the furthest on the path of swordsmanship, beyond anyone else.
The heights of swordsmanship, the heights of Star Magic, her two arts have both reached the Supreme Realm!
Yet compared to her achievements in swordsmanship, Ash is more surprised by her ability to remain unperturbed and composed.
