This is destined to be a war too brutal to watch, Ash has no chance of winning.
He can't even touch Death Mad, while Death Mad can freely torment him. Ash still doesn't understand what form Death Mad exists in, it's always Death Mad hitting him, never him hitting Death Mad... Even against Sonia, he's never felt this stifled!
He can't even use Miracle or Wonder, neither "Sword Barrier" nor "Refraction Protection" can withstand Death Mad's sword edge. She seems to turn into a solid entity only when touching Ash, forcing him into a swordsmanship duel.
Thus, not only Ash's body but even his spirit was brutally humiliated.
"Weak on the forehand, unrefined on the backhand, sloppy footwork, not a single decent move." Amidst the fierce sword fight, Death Mad effortlessly taunted, "With your mere skill, aren't you afraid of angering Sonia and getting sliced in half?"
"Afraid."
"Afraid yet you dare?"
"Maybe I can always make her happy?"
