The fire from Veltra took the form of a tiger, leaping toward Asta. Ice and fire collided in a spectacular clash, steam hissing and light flashing. The ice dragon's form was strong and precise, and it seemed to consume the fire tiger, melting it away instantly. The attack surged forward, closing in on Veltra.
Veltra tried to turn and run, but the ice struck him. He fell to the ground, his movements slowing as frost spread across his hand and leg, ice growing within his body.
"I surrender," Veltra gasped, defeated.
The crowd erupted into cheers. The winner was Asta.
Asta moved forward and touched Veltra gently. The ice melting instantly from his body, Veltra was freed from the frost's grip.
Asta helped Veltra to his feet, and the two shook hands, mutual respect shining in their eyes. The crowd erupted in cheers, the sound echoing across the arena.
"The winner is Asta!" the emissary announced.
