As the duel raged on, Ace continued to unleash his fiery onslaught against the ice deer. The forest echoed with the relentless clash of fire and ice, the air filled with sizzling steam and mist swirling around the combatants. Ace's fiery projectiles and streams surged toward the ice deer with precision, but the creature's mastery over ice allowed it to gracefully deflect or absorb each fiery assault.

Despite his best efforts, Ace couldn't discover any hidden properties or unique qualities of his flames. The disappointment nagged at him.

With each attack and defense, Ace's determination remained unshaken. He refused to let doubt cloud his judgment. However, even as he pushed, nothing came.
