Knight of Magic: The Rise of Arisia

The deep darkness pervaded the hall, like a pool of thick ink, swallowing everything around it. The dim yellow light shone alone in the endless darkness, casting dappled light and shadows, yet it was hard to dispel the oppressive atmosphere. The shadows on the stone walls twisted and danced with the flickering of the light, like a group of ghosts lurking in the dark, always ready to strike at any moment.

As the black shadow slowly emerged, the surrounding air seemed to solidify, making it difficult for people to breathe. The sound of everyone's heartbeats echoed in the silent hall, clearly audible, as if reminding them of the impending danger.

Gradually, the black shadow fully revealed itself, showing its true face. It was a huge monster, towering like a small hill, with its whole body covered in dense black scales. Each scale exuded a chilling coldness. Its eyes were like two blood-red jewels, shining with a bloodthirsty light, standing out prominently in the darkness. The monster opened its huge mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and a stinking breath rushed towards them, making people feel nauseous.

"You have intruded into my territory and even dared to try to steal the Power of Balance. Today is your death day!" The monster's roar echoed in the hall like thunder, making the walls tremble slightly. The voice was filled with endless anger and resentment, as if it were the voice of a demon coming from the abyss.

Jack tightly gripped the Dawnbreaker Sword in his hand. The multicolored flames on the sword blade danced in the darkness, illuminating his face. He took a deep breath, calmed down his inner fear, and looked at the monster in front of him with a determined gaze. He knew that he couldn't back down. In order to safeguard the peace of the world, he had to defeat this monster.

Alice and the wizard Roland also stood beside Jack without showing any weakness. Alice put her hands together and muttered incantations. Then, a brilliant starlight burst out from her hands, illuminating the entire hall. The starlight was like a lighthouse of hope, guiding them forward in the darkness. The wizard Roland waved the magic wand in his hand, and mysterious runes danced in the air, converging into a powerful force.

Seeing this, the monster launched the attack first. It waved its huge claws and pounced towards Jack with a sharp howling wind. Jack flashed his figure and skillfully dodged the monster's attack. His figure was as agile as a ghost, shuttling freely in the darkness. At the same time, the Dawnbreaker Sword in his hand traced a beautiful arc and slashed towards the monster's neck with the sound of breaking the air.

However, the monster seemed to have anticipated Jack's attack. It nimbly turned its body and dodged Jack's fatal blow at an almost impossible angle. Then, it opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of black flames. The flames seemed to be condensed from endless resentment and anger, sweeping towards everyone with a destructive aura.

Seeing this, Alice immediately cast her magic and propped up a shield composed of the power of the stars and water elements around everyone. The shield made a hissing sound under the scorching of the black flames, as if it would break at any moment. However, Alice was not afraid. She put her hands together and muttered incantations, continuously injecting power into the shield.

During the intense confrontation, Jack keenly observed the monster's movements. He found that although the monster's attacks were powerful and fierce, its movements were slightly sluggish. An idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately exchanged a glance with Alice and the wizard Roland. The tacit understanding among the three of them over the years was fully demonstrated at this moment, and they almost simultaneously understood each other's intentions.

Alice launched her most powerful magic attack to attract the monster's attention. Her figure shuttled quickly in the darkness, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky. Every time she appeared, it was accompanied by a brilliant starlight and a deafening roar. And Jack took the opportunity to launch an attack, looking for the monster's weakness. His figure was flexible and changeable, sometimes appearing beside the monster, sometimes leaping onto its head. Every attack was precise and decisive.

The wizard Roland silently cast his magic on the side, weakening the monster's power. His hands quickly formed seals, and streams of mysterious runes flew out from his hands and merged into the darkness. Those runes flickered with a faint light in the darkness, like seeds waiting to take root and sprout.

However, the monster was not stupid. It quickly noticed the intentions of the three of them and began to wave its claws frantically in counterattack. Black flames and scale fragments flew everywhere like a rainstorm, and Jack and the others were forced to disperse and dodge. For a moment, they fell into a passive position.

Just then, the wizard Roland discovered an important clue. He found that whenever the monster turned around, the gaps between its scales would briefly widen. He immediately told Jack and Alice about this discovery. When Jack heard this, an idea flashed in his mind. He concentrated his spirit and deeply integrated the Heart of Elements in his body with the Dawnbreaker Sword in his hand. A powerful force burst out from his body, as if it was going to break through the sky. He tightly gripped the hilt of the sword, aimed at the moment when the monster turned around, ready to withstand the tempest in the darkness and launch a fatal blow.
