434 Doubts
Ace continued to engage in the elemental clash, each of his fiery attacks met with the ice deer's precise defensive barriers. The forest was filled with the sounds of sizzling steam and the sight of opposing elements pushing against each other. This remarkable display of elemental mastery went on for a while, and the ice deer's control over ice remained unshaken.
Ace couldn't help but be impressed by the ice deer's abilities. It was clear that this creature was no ordinary opponent, and its command of ice was unparalleled. But Ace knew that his own flames should be unique with properties that extended beyond mere heat.
As the duel between fire and ice continued, Ace couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt creeping in. He had hoped that by testing his flames against an elemental master like the ice deer, he would discover any special properties or unique aspects of his fire. But so far, his fiery attacks had demonstrated nothing more than their intense heat.
Ace knew that there had to be more to his flames. Yet, as the battle wore on, Ace couldn't find evidence of any unique properties.
In the midst of the elemental showdown, Ace's determination remained unwavering. He couldn't let doubt cloud his judgment.
In the midst of this elemental showdown, Ace knew he needed to push the boundaries of his fiery abilities and rise to the challenge presented by the ice deer. As their battle continued, he decided to introduce some more elaborate and intricate moves.
With a flourish of his hand, Ace conjured a series of fiery projectiles. They formed a circle around him, a dance of reddish-gold flames that swirled with grace and precision. Each fiery orb represented a potential attack or a diversion, adding a layer of complexity to the battle.
As he launched these fire orbs towards the ice deer, the creature responded with its customary defensive ice barriers. However, Ace's strategy had evolved. The fire orbs didn't strike directly; they were meant to create a distraction. With each ice barrier the deer formed, Ace had a different plan in mind.
Ace continued to engage the ice deer, circling it with his fiery projectiles and forcing it to defend itself in various directions. With each fiery assault, the ice deer's focus was divided, its attention pulled in different directions.
And then, in the midst of this fiery display, Ace seized an opportunity. As the ice deer created multiple ice barriers to deflect his fire orbs, Ace launched a concentrated, scorching stream of fire directly at the creature. The intensity of this focused attack caught the ice deer by surprise.
The ice deer's defenses were divided and weakened, and it couldn't summon a barrier in time to protect itself. The fiery stream struck true, and for the first time, the ice deer felt the searing heat of Ace's flames.
The forest bore witness to this clash of elements and tactics. Steam and mist swirled around them.
Ace's fiery stream surged towards the ice deer with unyielding force, catching the creature off guard. The searing heat of Ace's attack penetrated the ice deer's defenses, and it let out a surprised and pained cry. The fiery stream washed over the ice deer, melting its icy exterior and causing it to retreat several steps, its fur smoldering.

Ace, having successfully landed a significant blow, couldn't help but feel a glimmer of expectations. Perhaps this was the moment when the unique properties of his flames would be revealed. He watched the ice deer closely, expecting some extraordinary reaction or consequence from his fiery assault.
But to his disappointment, nothing extraordinary occurred. The ice deer, though injured, didn't display any peculiar response to Ace's flames. It wasn't as if they had some mysterious or unexpected effect on the creature. It seemed that Ace's flames were merely hot and destructive, just as he had always known them to be.
As the ice deer recovered from the fiery assault, it refocused its icy defenses, creating a shimmering protective barrier around itself. Ace continued to press the attack, hurling fiery projectiles and streams, but the ice deer's mastery of ice allowed it to deflect or absorb each fiery assault with grace and precision.
The forest was filled with the mesmerizing clash of fire and ice, steam and mist swirling around the combatants. Despite Ace's best efforts, he couldn't find any hidden properties or unusual effects of his flames.
Ace felt a sense of unknown feeling building within him. He had believed that this duel would unlock the secrets of his flames, but it seemed that the answer remained elusive. Doubt once again crept into his mind as he questioned the true nature of his unique flames.
Yet, his determination persisted. Ace refused to yield to doubt and continued the battle.
