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.
