Aelith didn't stop there. She reached out her hand, summoning a creature made of pure ice. A colossal dragon emerged from the frozen ground, its scales shining like diamonds. It roared, releasing a torrent of ice that froze even the distortions in space.
Ivor, without wasting time, opened a series of portals that enveloped the dragon. The great reptile was sucked in pieces, but each piece that disappeared seemed to be immediately recreated by Aelith.
Finally, Ivor found himself surrounded by ice once more. He slammed his hands on the ground, creating a wave of energy that destroyed everything around him, but Aelith remained at the center of the devastation, erecting a barrier of ice.
The two faced each other, both exhausted but determined, their auras still rising, as if the fight had only just begun.
"You are strong, Aelith."
"You too. But don't expect me to back down."
