Rain confirmed that his hands didn\'t suffer damage; attacking walls and attacking humans was different, after all. In any case, the other enemies that weren\'t bitten by his attack turned to the side and fired numerous Wind Blades at him. Still, Rain used Charging Charge again and pierced deeper into the enemy\'s formation and avoided the attacks.

Jori, Reca, Liss, Asche, Terra, and the other soldiers finally reached the enemies while they were trying to hit Rain, and that wonderfully backfired for the enemies… they basically had several seconds to attack the enemies before they could turn around and see what was happening.

"I guess improvisation isn\'t their forte, too," Rain thought when he reached the other side of the enemy\'s formation. "... In any case, it doesn\'t look like there is an elemental resistance skill in this system, or I can\'t just get hit by elemental attacks and hope that I will get resistant to them."

Rain checked his arms and legs, and while they weren\'t deep, he had some cut wounds on his body… he didn\'t avoid all the wind blades, apparently.

In any case, there was no time to rest… the enemy might send another battalion soon, and they had to deal with those two as soon as possible, so Rain began to run while attacking the enemies.

Half of the enemies focused on him, but he lowered his stance and blocked the attacks with his forearm guards. At the same time, he collided with the enemies and sent their bodies flying. For now, that would work, but he could hear the sound of the metal of his forearm guards cracking with every passing moment.

When Rain reached the other side, he found his friends fine and well, but a lot of soldiers were getting hit by the wind blades; evenEven though the enemy\'s formation was a wreck, their attack power was no joke, and the mercenaries were dying a lot faster than anyone could have expected.

"Rain, you should go and scar them for life, those who survive, that is," Jori said.

Rain nodded and began to drink the potions that he still had left… just punching the enemies that were running away would take too much time. Killing all of them wasn\'t possible with the mana that he had left, but he could do something else.

After using Impulse, Rain arrived in front of a group of wind mages, and they prepared to split him in many parts with their wind blades, but then Rain punched the ground, and in the next moment, earth spikes emerged from it and then pierced their legs… in a single moment, thirty wind mages fell while shouting in agony.

Rain quickly moved to another side and looked for the largest group to do the same because that was the quickest way to cause a lot of damage and save Mana. Without their legs, the enemies wouldn\'t be able to escape, and the pain would make them unable to focus… soon, Rain confirmed all that.

Rain couldn\'t help but smile; he was getting a lot of experience… wars truly were the best option to make people stronger. Still, he soon calmed down once he realized that the generals of the enemy\'s army had fought in situations like that who knows how many times… they were a lot stronger than him, thanks to it.

In the end, Rain stopped doing that after five minutes… the enemies split in all directions and were only trying to survive instead of fighting back. Out of the two battalions that had three hundred each, only around one hundred managed to escape. The humans decided not to give chase since they would be too close to the enemy\'s camp.

When Rain returned to his friends, he saw them helping the wounded return to the wall. Although he wanted to keep an eye on the enemies, he decided to help them since there were plenty of people who could do that job instead.

"What do you think of this first battle?" Jori asked while he was cleaning his sword from blood.

"We sent the message that things won\'t be as easy as they had planned… we made them pay the price of underestimating us, but this might also make the next battles much harder," Rain said and then noticed that his friends didn\'t look that tired, but they looked tense. "It will be better if you guys pace yourselves."

Although he said that, everyone had to help the wounded since their side had the least people. It was hard to say since they still could hear the sound of battles happening in other areas of the city, but they shouldn\'t expect much help from Revan.

Still, much to everyone\'s surprise, some soldiers carrying potions arrived and gave them to be used on the wounded.

"I guess he wants to see us showing more results, even if he has to spend resources on mercenaries," Rain thought.

"Rain, you should get some rest," Branden said. "I think that the enemies will attack at night, and we will need you if the enemy generals join the fight."
