The clash between Elena and the seventh elder reached a pivotal moment as their conflicting powers collided in a tempest of ice and fury.
The relentless assault of the seventh elder's Frostbite Slashes met the unyielding defense of Elena's Frost Dome, and a sense of awe washed over the transformed elder.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed the resilience of Elena's barrier.
The Frostbite Slashes, infused with the freezing essence of the Blade of Ice Shark, crashed against the Frost Dome with a force that should have shattered any defense.
But to his astonishment, the barrier held strong.
A flicker of surprise crossed the seventh elder's face, momentarily betraying his composed facade. He had anticipated an easy victory, underestimating the true extent of Elena's power.
At that moment, a newfound respect for his opponent began to form, begrudgingly acknowledging the strength she possessed.
