2024-05-07 20:07:40As Sir Elias commenced his discourse on the various sword styles, the tranquil ambiance of the riverside remained undisturbed, save for the occasional leap of a fish as it broke the surface, creating ripples that danced across the water.
The gentle murmur of the flowing river provided a soothing backdrop to Sir Elias's words, amplifying the sense of serenity that enveloped the scene.
"Before we delve into testing your magical affinity, let me enlighten you about the Most renowned sword styles in our realm," Sir Elias began, his voice carrying the weight of knowledge.
"Each kingdom has its own unique style, reflecting its culture and history."
"The first sword style is the Celestial Blade, found in the Kingdom of Celestia," Sir Elias continued, his gaze drifting towards the heavens.
"It is a graceful and elegant style, imbued with the light and purity of the celestial realm. It is often used by the celestial knights who guard the holy cathedral."
"The second style is the Frostbite Technique, hailing from the icy Kingdom of Frostgard," Sir Elias explained, his breath forming a mist in the air.
"It is a fierce and relentless style, honed in the harsh conditions of the frozen north. It is characterized by swift, precise strikes that mimic the biting cold of the frost."
"The third style is the Emberstrike Form, originating from the fiery Kingdom of Emberfall," Sir Elias continued, his eyes gleaming with the intensity of flames.
"It is a bold and aggressive style, fueled by the fiery passion of its practitioners. It is known for its powerful, sweeping strikes that leave trails of fire in their wake."
"The fourth style is the Shadow Dance, shrouded in mystery and darkness," Sir Elias explained, his voice dropping to a whisper.
"It is said to originate from the enigmatic Kingdom of Shadowrealm, where shadows hold sway over reality. Practitioners of this style are masters of stealth and deception, striking from the shadows with deadly precision."
"The fifth style is the Torrential Wave, born from the coastal Kingdom of Stormreach," Sir Elias continued, his voice rising like the roar of the ocean.
"It is a fluid and dynamic style, inspired by the ebb and flow of the tides. It emphasizes fluid footwork and rapid, flowing strikes that mimic the crashing waves of the sea."
"The sixth style is the Ironclad Technique, developed in the industrious Kingdom of Ironhold," Sir Elias explained, his words ringing with the clang of metal.
"It is a sturdy and resilient style, forged in the fires of industry and innovation. It focuses on powerful, heavy strikes and impenetrable defenses, reminiscent of the iron fortresses of Ironhold."
"The seventh style is the Mystic Spiral, shrouded in arcane mystery," Sir Elias concluded, his gaze turning inward.
"It is said to originate from the ancient ruins of Mystoria, where magic flows like a river. Practitioners of this style harness the power of magic to enhance their swordplay, weaving spells into their strikes with unearthly precision."
"These are the seven renowned sword styles of our realm," Sir Elias declared, his voice filled with reverence.
"Each one is a testament to the rich tapestry of our world, woven together by the diverse cultures and traditions of our kingdoms."
Sir Elias paused, his expression thoughtful, before continuing to explain additional styles:
"The eighth style is the Abyssal Tide, hailing from the mysterious Kingdom of Abyssal Depths," Sir Elias began, his voice taking on a somber tone.
"It is a fluid and unpredictable style, inspired by the depths of the ocean. Practitioners of this style wield their swords with the grace and ferocity of the sea, striking with the force of a crashing wave."
"The ninth style is the Solar Flare, originating from the sun-soaked Kingdom of Avaloria," Sir Elias continued, his voice filled with warmth and energy.
"It is a radiant and powerful style, infused with the fiery energy of the sun. Practitioners of this style channel the blazing heat of the desert into their strikes, overwhelming their opponents with searing intensity."
"And finally, the tenth style is the Arcane Whirlwind, found in the mystical Kingdom of Mystoria," Sir Elias concluded, his voice tinged with awe and wonder.
"It is a whirlwind of raw magical energy, unleashed with wild abandon. Practitioners of this style tap into the chaotic forces of magic, spinning and twirling their swords with unearthly speed and agility."
Sir Elias shifted the focus back to their homeland, saying,
"Now, let me tell you about a secret technique used in Verdantia called the Verdant Arrow. It is not a sword technique, but rather an arrow technique used by the skilled archers of our homeland."
"Practitioners of this style draw upon the power of nature itself, infusing their arrows with the essence of the forest to strike with deadly accuracy."
"Sir Elias," Oasis began, his voice brimming with curiosity, "you mentioned there were seven sword styles, but you described ten. What about the other three?"
Sir Elias paused, his expression thoughtful as he considered Oasis's question.
"Ah, yes," he replied, his tone grave.
"The additional three styles I mentioned are considered lost to time. They haven't been passed down to the current generations like the others."
A flicker of determination crossed Oasis's face. "Lost?" he echoed, his voice tinged with disbelief. "But surely, they must still exist somewhere. They can't simply vanish into thin air."
Sir Elias nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting Oasis's determination.
"Indeed, Oasis, that's precisely what I believe," he affirmed, his voice filled with conviction.
"I refuse to accept that these ancient styles are truly lost forever. With dedication and perseverance, they can be rediscovered and revitalized."
"So, what about the style in the scroll from my box?" Oasis inquired, his gaze fixed on Sir Elias with keen interest.
"It seemed different from any of the seven you mentioned."
Sir Elias's brow furrowed slightly as he considered Oasis's question.
"That style is indeed a mystery," he admitted, his voice tinged with curiosity.
"I have neither heard nor seen anything like it in all my years of study and practice."
"It appears to be a unique and enigmatic form of swordplay, perhaps lost even to the most seasoned scholars and warriors," Sir Elias mused, his thoughts drifting to the possibilities contained within the ancient scroll.
He paused for a moment, his eyes glinting with a newfound excitement.
"But that's enough lessons for today," Sir Elias declared, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "It's already late, and your training begins tomorrow."

The sight before him was horrific.Rows of captives, their bodies frail from starvation, their skin clinging to their bones.Some lay motionless, too weak to move. Others had already succumbed—lifeless, their suffering evident even in death.And then—the worst.The ones who had been abused beyond recognition.A slow, cold rage spread through Mevrick’s chest.His fingers tightened on the hilt of his sword, his body trembling not from exhaustion—but from wrath.Jarn’s subordinates, those still breathing, staggered in fear. They saw what he saw. They knew.They begged.Mevrick showed no mercy.Blades howled.Bodies fell.Screams faded into silence.By the time he was done, not a single enemy in the camp remained.The battlefield lay silent, bathed in the eerie glow of the full moon.The cold wind carried the scent of blood, death, and smoldering campfires.Mevrick sat on one of the makeshift chairs in the enemy’s camp, his body still, his sword sheathed at his side.His fingers traced th

Clang! Clang!Goba barely raised his gauntlets in time, blocking an oncoming strike—only for another to slash at his ribs from the side.Tch! Jarn twisted in the air, his blade meeting one of Mevrick’s phantom swords—only for another to carve toward his shoulder from an impossible angle.What is this attack?!It was like fighting a ghost.Every time a sword landed a strike, it was as if Mevrick himself had slashed them—yet he hadn’t moved.And yet, he was everywhere.His form flickered, present yet absent, his image warping with the ripples of energy still cascading through the battlefield.It was an illusion.No—it was something beyond that.Me

The insult was deliberate, his words cutting like the edge of his blade.Goba growled, his fists clenching as frost crackled around his gauntlets.Jarn, however, laughed—a low, guttural sound that sent chills through the air.“Big words for a man standing in my domain,” Jarn said, his voice laced with cold amusement.“But don’t worry, Mevrick. I’ll make sure you won’t feel the cold for too long.”Both men stared each other down, the battlefield silent except for the faint crackling of frost and the rhythmic pulsing of energy ripples.The tension between them was palpable, the weight of their reputations hanging in the air.The next moment would decide the fate of the valley, and neither intended to take a single step back.The battlefield shifted in an instant.Mevrick exhaled slowly, his sharp gaze calculating as he assessed his opponents.“Unlike most duos, these two are nearly equal in strength,” he mused, gripping his dao sword tighter.His instincts sharpened.“Jarn is in the int

Fwoosh!The sound of metal sliding free was followed by an immediate surge of energy.The weapon was a dao sword, its broad, curved blade gleaming like polished silver.As soon as it was drawn, ripples of translucent energy pulsed outward from the blade.These ripples were faint yet visible, shimmering in the air like droplets hitting the surface of a still pond.Each ripple distorted the moonlight for a brief moment before dissipating into the night.The blade hummed faintly, resonating with the vice lord's own energy.It was a weapon forged not just for cutting but for channeling power, amplifying Mevrick’s aura with every swing.The air around him seemed to respond to the weapon, growing heavier and charged with tension.Mevrick twirled the dao sword once in his hand, its edge cutting through the cold air effortlessly.The ripples grew in intensity, spreading outward in a display of both beauty and menace."This will be interesting," Mevrick thought, his eyes narrowing as he strode

Cling... Cling...Thud... Thud...The muffled sound of metal scraping against itself, followed by dull thuds, echoed faintly across the camp.Inside a large, weathered tent decorated with torn banners and bloodstained fabric, a man with a hoarse voice stirred."Huh? What is that noise?" the man muttered, rising from his chair.The dim, flickering light of a lantern illuminated his imposing figure.He was tall, standing well over six feet, with lean, corded muscles that hinted at years of brutal training.His short, frosted hair faded on the sides, accentuating a striking tattoo of a blood-drenched hand etched into the right side of his head.His face was angular, with sharp cheekbones and cold, piercing gray eyes that seemed to radiate menace.A jagged scar ran from his temple to the corner of his lip, adding to his fearsome appearance."It seems some people are attacking our camp, Boss Jarn," another man spoke, stepping into the dim light of the tent.The man, known only as Jarn, the

A Few Minutes Before Midnight – One of the Camps Near MistvalleyThe camp was quiet, save for the occasional crackle of the fire.The air was thick with a tension that weighed heavily on the warriors from Belvan.The faint glow of a dwindling campfire cast long, flickering shadows across the faces of the Belvan warriors gathered in the camp.Some sat cross-legged, others leaned against their weapons, but all bore the same heavy expression.Their expressions reflected hopelessness, their morale shattered by weeks of hardship.This was one of the three groups Oasis had promised to handle personally, the weakest of the lot.Many in the camp had already given up before the fight had even begun. One warrior, sitting with his back against a jagged boulder, sighed deeply as he stared into the flames."We’re just lambs to the slaughter," he muttered bitterly, his voice thick with regret."All my life, I’ve fought to survive... and this is how it ends."Another, sharpening his blade out of h

Before Raegar's arrival...The Vice City Lord Mevrick sat at table, the rugged map of the region spread out before him.His fingers worked methodically, marking key locations and scrawling notes with a sharp quill.A piece of jerky hung loosely from his teeth, a habit he often indulged in while deep in thought.The flickering lanterns in the tent cast long shadows over the map, illuminating the harsh terrain of towns and the surrounding regions.His mind churned, not with doubt but with the weight of the task at hand.Belvan’s forces were spread thin, and the success of this mission hinged precariously on the plans of a boy—an unorthodox yet strangely capable boy.The thought lingered as he bit down on the jerky, chewing absently while his eyes traced the routes leading to and from the marked meeting points.!!!Suddenly, his focus sharpened.A faint yet distinct presence stirred at the edges of his awareness, an aura cutting through the stillness of the rocky terrain beyond the camp.

As Oasis moved, his thoughts raced with exhilaration and a growing hunger to test his limits.His smug grin widened as he vaulted over jagged boulders and slid expertly down loose gravel.Every movement was a testament to his honed skill, his steps fluid and deliberate, even as the terrain grew increasingly unforgiving.The dry, cracked earth of Mistvalley stretched ahead, dotted with spindly shrubs and patches of stubborn grass clinging to life in the arid climate.The rain showers from earlier had long stopped, leaving behind a cool, crisp atmosphere that only highlighted the stillness of the desert-like ridge.By now, most of the groups from Belvan had reached their designated meeting points, converging with the shadows who had been dispatched alongside Oasis.The air was tense with anticipation as warriors and informants alike gathered in hidden camps, waiting for their next orders.Despite their apparent cooperation, not all among them were convinced, doubt simmered quietly.Some

Morning broke with gray clouds cloaking the sky, and as the showers intensified, droplets danced and streaked off the shimmering dome that encased the city lord's manor.The rain fell steadily over the ridges, creating a rhythmic patter that blanketed the landscape in a cool, refreshing embrace.Oasis's barrier, an ethereal shield of translucent energy, turned the rainfall into streams of water cascading down its surface.The effect was mesmerizing—like a dome of flowing glass, refracting light and creating a surreal scene that drew curious eyes from all around.Nearby, patrons at the local inn gathered at windows and doorways, watching in awe.The innkeeper, wiping down a counter, muttered, “I’ve never seen anything like it. That’s magic... real magic.”Travelers, merchants, and townsfolk exchanged hushed whispers, their gazes fixed on the barrier and the manor it protected.Some speculated in fear, others in wonder, but none could tear their eyes away from the miraculous display.In
