Arya stood before the guardian, took a deep breath, and her eyes sparkled with determination. "I accept the challenge," she said firmly and powerfully.
Elda nodded and then guided Arya towards a concealed room. In the center of the room, there was a huge magic circle emitting a deep blue light, and the air was filled with intense magical energy fluctuations.
"This is the magic circle for testing magical endurance," explained Elda. "Once you enter, your magic will be extremely depleted. You must continue casting spells until the circle releases on its own. Are you ready?"
Arya nodded, gripping her magic staff tightly as she stepped into the magic circle. As soon as she entered the circle, she immediately felt a strong pressure pressing against her body, and her magic seemed to be rapidly depleting.
She began to constantly cast spells, Light Arrows, Sparkling Stardust, Shield of Light... Each time she cast a spell, her magic power would diminish by one point, and she could feel her magic pool gradually depleting.
Arya's breathing became rapid, and her sweat dripped onto the ground. But she didn't stop, her heart filled with determination. She knew that this was not just a test of magic power, but also a test of her will.
As time passed by, Arya felt her magical power diminishing with each passing minute. Her movements began to slow down, and her body started to sway as if she might collapse at any moment.
However, just as she was about to give in, she thought of her father Guilas, and remembered his expectations and trust in her. She thought of the challenges she had to face and her mission.
These thoughts are like a force, injected into the depths of the soul. Arya gritted her teeth, straightened her back, and her magic wand once again emitted a dazzling light.
She began to cast even more powerful magic, radiant wings, radiant miracles... Each spell was more determined and powerful than the last.
At that moment, the magic circle suddenly made a loud noise, and then slowly dissipated. Arya felt the pressure suddenly disappear, and she could finally relax.
She almost collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, but a victorious smile appeared on her face. She did it, she passed the first test.
Elda walked into the room and looked at Arya on the ground, his eyes shining with approval. "Well done, you're probably the first Light Magic user I've seen from the magical beings who's so powerful. You've proven your strength and perseverance. Now, let me take you to your room to rest. After your magic has recovered, you'll be ready to face the next challenge."
Arya slowly stood up, and a fire reignited in her eyes. "Okay."
After a brief rest, Arya's magic has recovered to a certain extent. Elda reappeared and led her to what seemed like an endless dark space, the entrance to the Shadow Maze.
"This maze is filled with countless traps and illusions, you must find the true way out," Elda's voice echoed in the darkness, "Remember, it's not just a physical challenge, but a test of the mind as well."
Arya took a deep breath and entered the maze. Her footsteps echoed in the silent maze, each step seeming to elongate time. She tightly gripped her magic staff, ready to face any unforeseen circumstances.
Just as she entered the maze, she encountered the first trap - the ground suddenly cracked, revealing a chasm. Arya reacted quickly, spreading her wings of light and leaping over the abyss.
As she delved deeper into the maze, the traps and illusions became increasingly complex. She would occasionally encounter huge monsters disguised as walls, or seemingly harmless illusions concealing hidden dangers.
Arya proceeded cautiously along the winding and twisting path, her heart beating loudly in the silence. Every wall of the maze could be a hidden trap, and every turn could lead to facing death.
In a dim corridor, Arya suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, her intuition warning her of approaching danger. She tightly gripped her magic wand and gazed ahead. Suddenly, the stones on the wall began to move, transforming into a massive stone monster, its eyes gleaming with icy light, its heavy footsteps echoing through the maze.
Arya swiftly retreated while unleashing the Radiant Arrow attack. However, the arrows seemed ineffective against the stone monsters, as they bounced off their tough stone skin. The stone monsters swung their massive fists at her, each blow carrying the force to shake the ground.
Arya agilely dodged the attacks, realizing she needed to find another way to deal with the creature. She quickly cast the Brilliant Stardust, causing a dazzling light to descend from the sky and envelop the stone monster. Under the illumination of the light, the movements of the stone monster became sluggish, allowing Arya to seize the opportunity to cast the Shield of Light and block the monster's attacks.
While the stone monster was temporarily trapped, Arya quickly ran along the maze, searching for a way out. But the maze seemed endless, every time she thought she found an exit, she entered another, even more complex area.
In a seemingly ordinary room, Arya suddenly felt uneasy. In the center of the room was a stone platform with an ancient book on top. As she approached, the room suddenly began to twist and distort, with illusions appearing one after another.
She saw her father, Las, with disappointment and anger in his eyes. The illusion of Guilas said to her, "You are not worthy to be my daughter, your weakness shames me." Arya felt a pang in her heart, but she realized that these were all illusions, tricks that the maze was trying to play on her mind.
She took a deep breath, trying to push these illusions aside. She knew she had to stay calm, these illusions were just a part of the maze, a test of her mind.
As she continued forward, the illusions became more and more real. She saw scenes from her childhood, her mother crying, her friends turning away. Each image pierced Arya's heart deeply.
Arya stopped in her tracks, closed her eyes, and focused on her breathing. She reminded herself that none of this was real, just a part of the maze. She refocused and continued to search for a way out.
At that moment, she heard a low growl, and a huge shadow leaped out from the darkness. It was a massive monster covered in tough scales, its eyes shining with a green light.
Arya immediately entered battle mode, wielding her magic staff and casting a radiant arrow. The arrow pierced through the monster's scales, but it seemed unable to inflict fatal damage. The monster roared angrily and charged towards her.
Arya moved flexibly, dodging the attacks of the monster. She realized she needed to use more powerful magic to deal with this creature. She focused all her strength, preparing to unleash her ultimate move - Radiant Miracle.
A strong beam of light shot out from her magic wand, forming a huge light ball that directly hit the monster. The monster was struck by the light ball, emitting a miserable scream, and then fell to the ground, motionless.
Arya panted heavily as she observed her surroundings. She discovered that a hidden passage had appeared where the monster had fallen. Without hesitation, she proceeded along the passage and eventually emerged from the maze.
As she stepped out of the maze, she felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and relief. Elda was waiting for her outside, looking at her with eyes full of admiration.
"You did very well, Arya. You have proven your wisdom and courage," Elda said. "Now, get ready to face the next challenge."
Arya nodded, her eyes shining with determination. She was ready to face any challenge that lay ahead, confident that she could overcome whatever came her way.
