As the battle reached its climax, the intensity between Ace and the Flame Serpent reached its peak. The serpent's fiery breath and lunges continued unabated, a relentless display of its power and fury. Ace's agility and precision were his greatest assets, allowing him to evade the searing flames that threatened to engulf him.
Ace's relentless determination drove him to keep testing the serpent's defenses. He aimed for the gaps between its armored scales and focused on areas where the creature's defense was weaker. Each precise strike chipped away at the serpent's fiery armor, leaving it hissing in pain and frustration.
The once-imposing scales now bore the marks of Ace's unyielding assault, with cracks and charring marring their fiery surface. But the Flame Serpent was far from defeated. It retaliated with venomous lunges and swift tail strikes, aiming to counter Ace's every move.
