Peace or Dignity

Clang!

In the starlight-dim lecture hall, the Multifunctional Media Podium was punched through, the fixed seats were ripped up and smashed apart, and the two figures whirling wildly through the room were like a cyclone of destruction tearing the Academy down!

Ash shook two short swords out of his sleeves, while Vishy casually clenched his hand and produced a Flame Halberd that seemed forged from lava. The instant the two clashed, the burst of fiery scythe-winds was sharp enough to scrape through black spots!

The two mythic short swords Ash held, their designs brimming with artistic flair, were not some divine weapons. They were toys Rose had bought for him at the mall.

After his battle with Death Frenzy Niya, Ash realized he needed weapons for self-defense, but Jia Shi's public security environment and his own status clearly did not support him carrying controlled knives around.

The instant he encountered Vishy, Ash decisively activated a new miracle constructed with Substitute Spell Spirit as its core and Heart Sword, Emotion Sword, Earth Sword, Sword Mark, Wind Sword Devotion, and other Spell Spirits as supports... Sword Servant!

This was a new miracle Ash had already begun conceiving during his time in the Holy Domain.
