Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: The Trial of Dawn

Renault stood at the top of the Altar of Daybreak, overlooking the vast continent of Avalon in the distance. The sun shone on his face, but his heart could not be as calm as this clear sky. The power of Daybreak had awakened, but he knew it wasn't yet fully under his control.

"Renault, how are you feeling now?" Lilith asked softly, with a hint of concern and anticipation in her tone. Her gaze never took off Renault, as if she feared that he would suddenly fall.

Renault turned his head and looked at Lilith with a somewhat complicated expression on his face. "The Power of Daybreak has awakened, but there is still a strange feeling... Something seems to be missing. "

Alex frowned and approached and patted Renault on the shoulder: "Perhaps, you still need more actual combat and understanding." The Power of Daybreak is not just a force to be used in battle, it represents light and hope. You may need to understand it from other perspectives. "

Renault nodded, but the doubts in his heart did not completely dissipate. He remembered the teachings of his great-grandfather, Victor, that the power of dawn comes from the firmness and conviction of his heart. And now, although his power has awakened, it seems that in some aspects he still has not fully comprehended the true nature of this power.

"Let's go, we still have a mission ahead of us." Alex interrupted Renault's thoughts, and he pointed into the distance, "The remnants of the dark forces are still alive and well in the shadows. We're going to eradicate their nests before this force is fully restored. "

Renault did not refuse, his fate has long been closely tied to the continent of Avalon. No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, he must move on firmly. He glanced at his companions, Alex, Lilith, and Arya, their eyes full of trust and determination.

"For the sake of the continent of Avalon, let's go!" Renault said firmly, and the golden power of dawn flowed through his body again.

First Trial: Valley of Shadows The destination of Renault and his party is the Valley of Shadows, not far from Castle Avalon. According to intelligence, the dark forces have set up secret bases there and are hiding some of the remaining members of the Dark Order.

When we reached the Valley of the Shadows, it was getting dark, dark clouds obscured the sky, and the whole valley was enveloped in an oppressive atmosphere.

"There's something wrong here." Arya frowned, and a faint blue light emanated from the staff, illuminating the path ahead.

"Be careful, the guys of the Dark Order are good at setting traps." Alex drew his sword and walked cautiously at the front of the line. Renault followed closely, sword in hand ready to meet a possible enemy.

The further you go into the valley, the colder the air becomes. Renault felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at them in the shadows around them, with malice and murderous intent. He clenched his sword, his heart beating slightly.

Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and there was a rustle of footsteps ahead. Immediately after, a group of dark shadows burst out of the darkness, monsters corrupted by the power of darkness, more numerous and more ferocious than they had encountered before.

"Renaud, I'll leave it to you!" Alex shouted and took the lead against the monsters.

Renault took a deep breath and let the nervousness and uneasiness in his heart go away. He raised the sword in his hand, and the golden power of dawn flowed on the sword, like the rising sun, exuding a warm and powerful light.

"Dawn, Shine!" Renault shouted, and the golden light on the sword body instantly exploded, turning into countless light blades, tearing apart the monsters in front of him one by one. The golden blade of light was like the morning sun, easily dispelling the black shadows and cutting the darkness to pieces.

The monsters wailed in the golden light, and they all turned into black mist and dissipated. Renault stood still, gasping softly, and although the pain in his chest did not disappear completely, his eyes flashed with incomparable determination.

"Succeeded... Lilith whispered, her eyes filled with pride and relief. She trotted forward and held Renault's hand, and the fingers of the two people were tightly interlocked, conveying each other's trust and warmth.

"Well done, brother!" Alex laughed and patted Renault on the shoulder, "I knew you could do it!" "

Renault smiled slightly, and although his body was slightly tired, his heart was full of strength. The true power of Daybreak is being revealed, and he is getting closer to the true nature of that power.

Second Trial: High Priest of the Dark Order However, the battle is far from over. After taking out the monsters of the Shadow Valley, Renault and his party finally arrived at the Dark Order's stronghold, an underground altar hidden deep in the valley.

There was a thick dark aura in the underground altar, and on the central altar stood an old man in a black robe, his eyes cloudy, but with a hint of mad piety. He is the High Priest of the Dark Order.

"How dare you break into here?" The High Priest's voice was hoarse and gloomy, as if from the abyss of hell.

Renault took a step forward, the sword in his hand emitting a faint golden light. "Your end has come. Today, we put an end to the machinations of the dark Ones! "

The High Priest sneered, and his hands began to form an intricate seal. The air around the altar distorted, and the power of darkness surged wildly under his control.

"Stupid boys, you think you can beat me like this? I have fused with the power of the dark gods, and you are nothing but ants! The High Priest's voice was maniacally conceited.

Renault's eyes froze and he reacted quickly. "Be careful, everyone, his power comes from this altar, destroy it!"

Alex and Arya quickly stepped forward and joined Renault in besieging the High Priest. The three of them cooperated tacitly and attacked fiercely. However, the power of the high priests was much stronger than they thought. Each attack was defused by him with the power of darkness, and even bounced back.

Renault realized that they simply could not win without completely shattering the high priest's connection to the altar.

"Lilith, cover me with your magic!" Renaud shouted.

"Understood!" Lilith quickly cast her shield magic to protect Renault.

Renault seized the opportunity and used the power of dawn with all his might, and the golden light instantly bloomed, turning into a blazing morning sun and hitting the high priest in the center of the altar.

The High Priest let out a terrible scream, and the power of darkness quickly collapsed under the rays of the morning sun, turning into a black mist and dissipating.

"Nope! This can't be ...," he muttered to himself, his body gradually turning to dust and disappearing into thin air.

The altar collapsed, and the stronghold of the Dark Order was completely destroyed. Renault stood atop the ruins and breathed a sigh of relief. He knows that this is just one of the many challenges they face, but each victory brings them one step closer to true peace.

Homecoming and Reflection After the battle, Renault and his party set out on their way back to Castle Avalon. The sun shone on them again, dispelling away the fatigue of the journey.

Renault's eyes are determined, and he knows that he still has a lot to learn and understand. Although the power of dawn has awakened, the road ahead is still long and full of unknowns.

"Renault, what's next for you?" Alex asked.

Renault was silent for a moment, then smiled. "Continue to protect the continent of Avalon and protect our homeland. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will not give up. His tone was full of determination and conviction.

Lilith gently held his hand, and their eyes met as if everything was silent.

The sun shines in every corner of the continent of Avalon, and Renault knows that the real dawn has just begun.
