The battle horn resounded in the Alliance Hall, and the audience's eyes were fixed intently on the dueling arena.
David and Arno stood at each end, the air thick with a tense and fierce atmosphere.
David took a deep breath, feeling the power from the Dragon Race's bloodline quietly surge within him.
"Are you ready?"
Arno smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth carrying an expression of confidence and composure.
Behind him, a Water Magic Array slowly emerged, with shimmering water flows under his control, as if they were alive.
"I'm ready anytime," David responded.
He mobilized the intense and powerful magic energy within him, inspired by the Giant Dragon, he waved his arm, and a golden light burst forth from his fingertips.
With a command, their battle officially began.
Arno quickly summoned several swirling water balls, which sped towards David like agile little serpents, swiftly weaving through the air.
