Chapter 17: Echoes of Victory~

The echoes of Team Echo's recent triumph reverberated through the virtual realm. Evelyn, observing Luna's inventive weapon in action, couldn't help but commend her.

Evelyn: "Luna, that was a stroke of genius! Your arrow-shooting gun caught everyone off guard. A game-changer indeed."

Luna, beaming with pride, responded, "Thanks, Evelyn! I thought a little surprise would spice things up. And it worked!"

Evelyn, while appreciating Luna's ingenuity, couldn't shake a lingering suspicion when Luna had requested only Iris to accompany her in the second battle. However, trusting Luna's judgment, she let the duo proceed.

As Iris and Luna returned victorious, the team erupted in cheers, acknowledging Luna's unconventional yet effective strategy. Evelyn, with a nod of approval, felt a surge of pride in her team's adaptability.

Just as the celebrations peaked, an ominous aura enveloped the arena. A formidable team, renowned for their skill and intimidating presence, approached. Led by a figure known for their strategic prowess, the opposition exuded an air of undeniable challenge.

Evelyn, sensing the gravity of the upcoming battle, found herself face-to-face with the rival team's leader.

Opponent Leader: "Evelyn, Nyx of Team Echo, we've been watching your victories. Impressive, but now you face the true test. Prepare for a battle like no other."

Evelyn, ever composed, responded, "We welcome the challenge. Our victories are earned, not given."

The conversation hung in the digital air, setting the stage for a battle that would push Team Echo to their limits. As the rival team dispersed, Evelyn couldn't shake the feeling that this confrontation would redefine the very essence of their digital journey.
