Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 781 Cost of power

Rain jumped from one side to the other while attacking the meteor dragons using the same strategy… it didn't look like the meteor dragons had any other ideas since they also did the same and they also didn't try to put much distance between them.

Still, the moment that they had expected arrived… all of a sudden, Rain's giant earth arms cracked, and soon after, they began to fall into pieces… when Rain looked at the golem dragons, they had moved away from the battlefield a fair bit in order not to help him indirectly.

The meteor dragons formed an encirclement around Rain and used their attacks, but soon, several water walls appeared around him, and they froze as well. The walls quickly evaporated, but they created a mist that covered Rain and made him disappear.

"... It must have been Seadrei," Rain thought as he landed. "What should I do now?"

Rain didn't have many ideas… he didn't have a single one, actually under the confusion. His skin started to dry quite fast thanks to the conditions of the battlefield, and while he didn't sustain serious wounds yet, his body was getting heavier… the more he used the rings with the power of the sins, the more his mind got foggy as well…

"... I have to use the Seals," Rain thought. "At least now and then… if I fail here, the raging Phoenix will not survive and fight with the others to at least buy time for the next generation."

Rain made up his mind, and then left the steam cloud… when he showed up again, the enemies saw that Rain's giant ice arms gave room to giant ice blades, and then Rain began to spin.

"First, second, third Seal… off," Rain said.

As Rain ascended into the air, a sudden high-pitched whirring sound reverberated across the battlefield. His figure blurred into a whirlwind of motion, resembling a spinning shuriken cutting through the air. The intensity of his movements increased as he darted around the battleground, leaving behind a trail of quick, indistinct motions.

The blurring speed of Rain's aerial spins made it nearly impossible for the naked eye to track his precise movements. He seemed to become one with the air itself, navigating the sky with incredible agility and speed.

Amidst the chaos, the Meteor dragons attempted to target Rain with their fire beams. However, their attempts were in vain, as Rain's swift and erratic movements made it impossible for their fiery attacks to find their mark. The searing beams missed their target by a wide margin, unable to even come close to hitting Rain as he continued his evasive maneuvers.

The high-pitched whirring continued to echo across the battlefield, accompanying Rain's incredible aerial display. His rapid, spinning motions created a dizzying effect, disorienting the dragons and evading their attacks with finesse.

Before long, Rain flew while zigzagging in the air and made the meteor dragons confused about who he was going to attack. Still, when the target suddenly tried to stop him, the creature suddenly felt a sharp pain in its neck, and then its head rolled on the ground.

"Wait, what?" Rain frowned. "Only four levels?"

Rain changed the path for a bit to gain those crazy parameters bonuses, but he was surprised when he saw that… it seemed that they required ten times more experience than usual…

As if that wasn't annoying enough, The ice blades lost a lot of their blades, and Rain's body received a bunch of burn wounds… even though he only touched the body of the beast for a fraction of a second.

Thanks to the power of the seals, Rain healed fast, and the ice blades were repaired as well, so he charged toward the Meteor dragons again… he targeted those that had been damaged on the legs already by the raging Phoenix warriors and Rain's friends… the beasts tried to move away. Still, with their wounds, they became easy pickings for Rain.

In no time, Rain killed three of them… the power of Vicious Strike was that great, and since it always caused critical damage… Rain caused the max damage that he could cause with his skills…

As Rain continued his fight, a profound sensation coursed through him—an unmistakable surge in his own strength. The power he felt was growing at an astonishing pace, fueled by the energy he had absorbed from the dragons.

With each passing moment, Rain sensed an overwhelming increase in his capabilities, a formidable power-up that far surpassed his usual limits. The sheer magnitude of this power surge was awe-inspiring and somewhat frightening, even to someone as experienced as Rain.

The realization struck him deeply. The power inherent in the sins, the very forces he had absorbed, was unparalleled. It dawned on Rain that if the dragons could harness and amplify their strength through these means, it was no wonder they reigned supreme at the apex of the natural hierarchy.

Amidst the feeling of the surging power he was experiencing, Rain also sensed a disquieting presence stirring within him. There was a growing sensation, a nebulous and ominous force that seemed to coil and expand, creating an unsettling unease at the core of his being.

The disconcerting sensation threatened to overwhelm Rain's senses, casting a shadow over his clarity of purpose. It created a fog of uncertainty that dulled his convictions and real goals, almost blinding him to the reasons why he continued to fight amidst the chaotic battlefield… it was truly a corrupted power.
