Knight of Magic: The Rise of Arisia

In the early - morning haze, the first rays of sunlight filtered through the treetops and spilled onto the winding path, forming golden beams of light. These beams danced before Jack's eyes, as if guiding him on his way forward. After days of unremitting efforts and repeated practice, the long sword in Jack's hand was now wielded with increasing ease. Wherever the tip of the sword pointed, it was a manifestation of his determination and perseverance. He decided that today he would venture deep into this vast forest to test the fruits of his learning with his own strength.

The moment Jack stepped into the forest, the moist smell of the earth immediately assailed his nostrils. This smell, a blend of the fresh fragrance of trees and the sweet scent of grass, was like a refreshing tonic prepared by nature for him, making his heart stir. However, he was well aware that this seemingly peaceful forest actually concealed countless crises and challenges.

As he gradually penetrated deeper into the forest, the surrounding silence was broken by the occasional growl of wild beasts. These sounds were like calls from the abyss, sending shivers down one's spine. Suddenly, a deep and powerful roar sounded not far ahead, causing the leaves to rustle and fall. Immediately afterwards, a group of agile magic wolves sprang out from the bushes. Their eyes glinted with a fierce and greedy light, and their sharp fangs shone with a cold light in the sun, as if they were about to devour everything.

Jack's heart rate instantly accelerated. He knew that his first real battle was about to begin. He took a deep breath, trying hard to calm his nervousness and excitement, and tightly grasped the long sword in his hand. This sword was not only his weapon in this world but also a symbol of his pursuit of strength and growth.

The magic wolves slowly approached, forming a semi - circle and surrounding Jack. One of the magic wolves took the lead in attacking. It leaped high into the air, opening its huge mouth and pouncing towards Jack. Jack reacted quickly, dodging to the side to avoid the attack of the magic wolf. At the same time, he waved the long sword in his hand, and a faint blue light appeared on the sword's blade. This was his first attempt to combine magic power with swordsmanship. Although the magic wolf nimbly evaded his attack, this sword swing also made it feel Jack's threat.

After landing, the magic wolf let out an angry roar and launched a fierce attack on Jack again. Seeing this, the other magic wolves also followed suit, pouncing on Jack from different directions. Facing the siege of the magic wolves, Jack fearlessly stepped forward. While dodging the attacks of the magic wolves, he waved the long sword in his hand and engaged them in a fierce battle. During the battle, he found that when he concentrated and guided the magic power more smoothly onto the sword, the power of the sword would be greatly enhanced. So he seized the opportunity and used a horizontal slash, successfully repelling a pouncing magic wolf.

However, the magic wolves were numerous and extremely cunning. They constantly changed their attack methods and rhythms, making Jack feel a bit overwhelmed. In a fierce confrontation, Jack's body was scratched by the claws of a magic wolf, and several wounds appeared. The blood stained his originally white clothes red. The pain made Jack more acutely aware of the severity of this battle.

Just when Jack was starting to feel the strain, he suddenly remembered the basic magic sensing skill on the system panel. So he closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the magic elements around him. In his perception, he found that the fire elements in the air were extremely active, as if dancing a lively dance, waiting for his call. An idea flashed through Jack's mind. He tried to guide these fire elements and condense them on his sword. With a thought, a small flame leaped up at the tip of the sword, as if adding a fiery soul to his long sword.

When Jack waved the sword again, the flames on the sword shot out, turning into a red - hot sword beam that rushed towards the magic wolves. The sudden appearance of the flames terrified the magic wolves. They all retreated, trying to avoid this terrible fire attack. Taking advantage of the deterrence of the flames, Jack took the opportunity to adjust his breathing and began to use the long sword in his hand more flexibly to fight the magic wolves. Under his attack, the attacks of the magic wolves gradually became chaotic. Finally, seeing that the situation was not in their favor, they all chose to flee.

Watching the backs of the fleeing magic wolves, Jack finally let out a sigh of relief. He slumped to the ground, gasping for breath, feeling the exhaustion and joy after the battle. He looked down at the wounds on his body. Although the pain was unbearable, his heart was filled with the relief of surviving a close - call and the joy of the improvement of his own strength. He knew that this battle was just the tip of the iceberg of his adventure in this world. There were more challenges waiting for him in the future, but he was no longer afraid. Because he believed that as long as he continued to practice hard, he would definitely become stronger.
