Damien's muscles burned with fatigue, but he refused to relent. "I will not falter! I will endure every gust, every strike! I am the embodiment of resilience!"

Zephyrus, sensing Damien's determination, summoned an even greater tempest, the winds swirling with heightened intensity. The gusts threatened to knock Damien off balance, but he braced himself, digging his feet into the ground.

His voice rang out, filled with defiance. "I've faced storms far fiercer than this! Your power may be great, but I am not one to yield easily!"

With a surge of energy, Damien unleashed a barrage of ice shards, each one slicing through the air with precision. Zephyrus maneuvered with grace, dodging and countering with swift strikes of its own.
