Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 1331: Coping

Level 10: Light Touch – Using the power of light magic, you can directly attack magic attacks to cancel them or decrease their power. At each level, you can decrease the effects of enemies’ spells by one hundred points.

"Can’t wait to use this and completely surprise the enemies that only use magic," Rain thought and then got up. "Anyway... I didn’t see this thing in my mental landscape... how it looks like exactly?"

"It is quite the monstrosity, just like before," Elisabetha said. "It is trying to trash around, but it can only do so much without a body."

Prideful Troll Path Lv 100 - Strength and Vitality +50.

Greedy Golem Path Lv 100 - Wisdom and Intelligence + 50 per level.

Chimera Path Lv 100 - All parameters + 100

If compared to all the other paths, this one was many times better, but it made sense that the bonuses in parameters would be like that when so many lords were sacrificed to summon the beast. Rain was very surprised that he actually pulled off defeating the monster... maybe not so much since he was forced to show his trump card.

Since Rain was done with that, he went to check with the others. All the tents around were completely empty, but Rain could see everyone in the tent of meetings. A lot of people joined them recently. It looked like even Roan, Rain’s mother, and his grandparents had come to that zone as well after they heard of the news.

"Look who is up? The most famous slacker of the group," Roan said.

"Don’t stop just because I arrived. Keep going," Rain said.

"We were talking about the fact that while it was a bit harder to notice, the flow of time in the previous zone was a bit slower if compared to this as well," Sealyn suddenly said. "The theory about planets being heavier and having a flow of time faster thanks to mana levels on them, or the levels of other sources of energy, appears to be correct. Grandpa Roan experienced two months’ worth of time while the people here noticed a single month since our arrival."

"That is a bit late to notice it..." Rain said. "Nothing that can be done about that, though."

The relics were silent, and Rain tried to change the subject. The reason for that was the fact that it meant that the machine gods and perhaps even the dragon god were a lot older than they imagined. With more time on their hands, they have more chances to get stronger and obtain the knowledge they have. To make things worse, they were actively going around picking fights with everyone, locking them up, and stealing their resources to obtain all of that.

"Regardless, we need to leave this place, but we don’t know where the vessel is," Sealyn said. "Considering that Arel is no longer controlling the prison, we should be able to move through this place freely... everyone has to come to us, and then we will depart."

"You guys made a lot more allies, so it will be hard to move everyone," Branden said. "At the same time, the people in this town are like that."

"Are like what?" Rain asked.

"They are in a state of panic here. It seems that those who worked for the system are unable to function as they did before." Branden continued. "Shopkeepers, as well as the town’s inhabitants, are distressed by the sudden change. It’s causing a lot of chaos and confusion among them."

Rain nodded, absorbing the information. The disruption in the system’s influence had unintended consequences on the town, affecting both the regular residents and those who were part of the system. The chaos created an opportunity for Rain to assess the situation and make strategic moves.

"I need to do something about that," Rain thought, contemplating the best course of action. "Also, I should retrieve and seal the other half of the king in the shadows. It might help stabilize things here, and we can use all the help we can get."

As Rain made his way through the town, he observed the disarray and anxiety among the people. It was evident that a quick resolution was necessary to restore order. In the end, Rain decided to spread around the word that the prison master was defeated... not killed, so they wouldn’t be able to do anything. He told his friends to do that... ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Esmeralda and Branden returned... should I leave the things about leadership with them?" Rain wondered when he arrived at the castle and confirmed that the border didn’t act like before. "I guess I will kick the entrance."

Rain approached the castle, and soon arrived at the entrance and then kicked the stone door. He had gotten many times stronger if compared to the last time he had been there, so the stone door fell into pieces while it flew to the throne. At the same time, he soon found the king in the shadows still sitting in his place, and he looked like a ghost of his former self... actually, he looked like a living skeleton.

"I have come to retrieve my power. You can’t handle it," Rain said.

The king in the shadows looked at Rain, completely uninterested... Rain couldn’t accept that kind of response? How could he be so uninterested in his nonsense? That was unacceptable.

"I can end your suffering. Come to your Pokeball. Your other half is here," Rain said.

"Why are you joking around and wasting time when we just learned about the enemies that we have been looking for so long?" Elisabetha asked.

"That is my way of coping with this overwhelming situation," Rain said.

Truth be told, Rain was having a hard time controlling himself and keeping his mind in the game... he was almost killed by the dragon god once again, after all. If he were to lose his focus, he felt like he would attack everything and anything out of sheer anger.
