Mastering The Arcane

Roland squared off against the ice deer, its imposing figure casting a shadow over him. With determination in his eyes, he uses only his battle mage skills, ready to face the challenge ahead. The deer charged, its icy horns aimed straight at Roland.

Ducking and weaving, Roland dodged the first onslaught, but the deer's horns grazed his arm, leaving a deep gash. Ignoring the pain, Roland retaliated with a fire blast, but the deer's icy hide seemed to absorb most of the impact.

As he fought, Roland couldn't help but remember David effortlessly casting powerful fire blast during their previous encounters. "Why does that idiot make it look so easy?" Roland muttered through gritted teeth, frustration evident in his voice.

The battle raged on, Roland's movements becoming more desperate as he struggled to land a decisive blow. Each time he attacked, the deer countered with its icy breath, sending waves of frost toward him. Roland's clothes were frozen stiff, his breath coming out in clouds of steam.

Despite his best efforts, Roland found himself on the defensive, his injuries mounting with each passing moment. He stumbled, his foot catching on a rock, and the deer seized the opportunity to strike. Its horns pierced Roland's side, sending him crashing to the ground with a cry of pain.

Roland slowly rose to his feet, his eyes blazing with determination. He focused his energy, summoning all his remaining mana for one final attack. With a primal scream, he unleashed a torrent of fire, engulfing the ice deer in flames.

As the smoke cleared, Roland stood victorious, his body battered but unbowed. With a weary smile, he collapsed to his knees, the adrenaline wearing off and exhaustion setting in. Breathing heavily, Roland surveyed the aftermath of the battle, a sense of accomplishment swelling within him.

Roland reached for his inventory and retrieved an advanced healing potion. With shaking hands, he uncorked the bottle and drank deeply, feeling the warm energy flood his body. Slowly, the wounds began to close, and Roland's strength returned.

"Not so tough after all," he chuckled, wiping sweat from his brow as he retrieved his loot from the fallen foe.

In the days that followed, Roland continued to hone his mage skills, hunting down lesser beasts and gathering mission herbs with newfound confidence. Each encounter tested his abilities, pushing him to new heights of mastery.

One serene afternoon, as Roland stood atop a cliff overlooking the majestic mountains in the distance, a sudden commotion caught his attention. A massive frog leaped from the underbrush, its venomous gaze fixed on Roland.

Reacting on instinct, Roland engaged the mini-boss with a combination of dagger strikes and arcane spells, his movements a blur of precision and power. With a final decisive blow, he vanquished the creature, earning himself a well-deserved victory.

"Congratulations on killing mini boss 1500 experience point is added! Loots dropped :

With the testing done. Roland happily made his way back to his cave, while singing and laughing.
