Knight of Magic: The Rise of Arisia

The night was as thick and dark as ink, and the gloomy and murderous atmosphere in the valley almost solidified into a tangible substance. Azmod, the leader of the Shadow Alliance, emerged slowly, like a demon crawling out from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds. He exuded dark magic power all over his body, and the surging darkness seemed to make the surrounding space twist and groan under its force. The magic wand in his hand, like the scythe of the Reaper, emitted a strange and dazzling light, pointing the way to death.

In the valley, the cold wind howled angrily, and the biting chill eroded every inch of the land. In this darkness, Azmod's voice was as ethereal and cold as a ghost, echoing in every corner: "Today is your doom, and the power of balance will belong to me!" As his words fell, he waved the magic wand in his hand gently, and an overwhelming amount of dark magic surged out like a flood breaking through a dam.

These dark magics converged in the air into black dragons. They roared and twisted, and with the power to destroy everything, they pounced fiercely towards Jack, Alice, and Roland. The entire valley seemed to be swallowed up by darkness, so dark that one couldn't see their own hands in front of them. Only the cold and murderous wind howled, like the mocking laughter of the Reaper.

Facing this sudden onslaught of dark magic, Alice's expression was extremely grave. She quickly dodged, and at the same time, she waved the Star Staff in her hand rapidly. The power of the stars and the water element intertwined and merged under her control, transforming into an indestructible crystal-clear shield that protected her and her companions tightly. The shield emitted a faint light, like a guiding lamp in the darkness, illuminating their way forward.

However, the power of the dark magic was simply too strong. With each impact, the shield vibrated violently, as if it would shatter at any moment. Alice gritted her teeth and tried her best to maintain the stability of the shield. She knew that once the shield broke, the dark magic would penetrate unhindered, and they would all be in a hopeless situation.

At the same time, Roland was not idle either. He murmured incantations, his hands danced rapidly in the air, and a mysterious purple light flashed at the top of his magic wand. As he moved his hands, streaks of mysterious runes shot out from his wand, attempting to disrupt Azmod's casting rhythm. These runes fluttered in the air, like agile purple butterflies, but each one contained powerful energy.

However, Azmod showed disdain for Roland's attack. He waved his magic wand gently, and those runes dissipated into nothingness like bubbles. A hint of disdainful smile appeared on his face, as if he was mocking Roland's overconfidence. At this critical moment of life and death, everyone's eyes turned to Jack. He tightly gripped the Dawn-breaking Sword in his hand, and the multicolored flames on the sword blade danced in the dark, as if they were telling of an unyielding fighting spirit.

The darkness kept pounding at Alice's shield, and with each impact, the light of the shield grew a little dimmer. Finally, with a loud bang, the shield shattered. The powerful impact sent Alice flying, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the dark land.

"Alice!" Jack and Roland exclaimed simultaneously when they saw this scene. Without hesitation, they gave up their defenses and rushed towards where Alice was. And Jack unhesitatingly used his body to shield Alice from the aftermath of the dark magic.

With a dull thud, the aftermath of the dark magic hit Jack's back hard. He let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and his whole body became a bit unsteady. But he still gritted his teeth and firmly protected Alice beneath him, using his body to shield her from this dark tempest.

Alice lay in Jack's arms, feeling the warmth of his body and his firm heartbeat. She reached out and gently stroked Jack's cheek, with tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that this man would give everything, even his life, for her. At this moment, she deeply felt the power of love.

Jack forced a smile and said, "I'm okay." He struggled to stand up and turned to face Azmod. At this moment, his eyes were burning with flames of anger, as if he was going to completely destroy this dark leader. He took a deep breath and deeply integrated the power of the Heart of Elements with the power of the Dawn-breaking Sword. Dazzling light burst out around his body, which contained multicolored flames and a powerful purifying power, as if it could dispel even the darkness.

As Jack swung his sword and charged forward, the Dawn-breaking Sword slashed through the darkness with great force and headed towards Azmod. At the same time, Roland's auxiliary magic accurately landed on Azmod, weakening his dark magic power. And Alice, despite her pain, waved the Star Staff, providing a continuous stream of magic power support for Jack. The power of the three of them converged into a mighty torrent at this moment, surging towards Azmod, the dark leader, with an irresistible momentum.
