Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

The human army began to advance again, so that was the right moment to make his move… while Rain didn\'t like Josar\'s tone, it wasn\'t time to think about that.

Rain grabbed the coral spear and then raised it while he began to focus. Thanks to his new path, he had access to a lot more mana and the chance to use it faster, so it didn\'t take long before a large and dark rain cloud appeared in the sky… Rain had planned to drown everyone down to gain time for the magic people, but he changed his mind. With that much power and mana, he could do it…

Flashes of light appeared in the sky, and the sound coming from the clouds gathered the attention of a lot of people… they didn\'t expect that such a thing would happen on the battlefield, after all.

Rain made all the energy in the clouds grind against each other, and in the end, a single thought had been enough to make six lightning bolts fall from the sky at different points of the human army.

It goes without saying, but lightning bolts move as fast as light, so the human soldiers don\'t have the chance to react. They didn\'t raise their shields, and hundreds of them were hit and were killed on the spot… hundreds more were electrocuted and ended up hurt or unconscious, and the attacks stopped the whole battlefield for several seconds.

An unknown skill leveled up.

The Wiseman\'s Path received 1500 experience points.

An unknown skill leveled up.

The Wiseman\'s Path received 1600 experience points.

…

Rain got several of those notifications… that much experience was shocking. Still, it was probably because it belonged to a path much higher than anything that Rain had until now… it was lightning, after all.

"Don\'t look at me like that. More than half of this is thanks to the coral spear and Josar\'s buff," Rain said while frowning at the completely stupefied Terra.

"... I suppose so…" Terra said while looking around and understanding that everyone was looking the same as she had been five seconds before.

"Attack! Attack!" Josar shouted. Read the latest on m_v-l\'e|-NovelBin.net

Josar lost his legs but not his fighting spirit. Thanks to that, the magic people answered his voice and began to fight against him, even though they just lost thousands of them. Rain\'s attack didn\'t equal things in numbers completely, but at least it shocked the humans and made the magic people feel reassured that such a person was on their side.

While Rain was drinking some more potions, he saw quite the chaotic scene… the magic people weren\'t planning to pace themselves, so they were going all out.

Fire Tornadoes, Golems, Water Spears, Quicksand… all that were being cast against the human army, and since a bunch of their allies were on the ground thanks to the lightning bolts, the human army found themselves in a bad spot since they couldn\'t retreat in any shape or form.

"It doesn\'t seem like they are planning to sacrifice more special soldiers," Terra said when she finished healing Rain.

"Raising them takes a lot of time… even with the red crystal, Joanis will need some proper power to face the dragons and kill them," Rain said. "Anyway, I am going to attack again. Perhaps you should help Josar and make him owe you some favors."

"Thinking like that is the worst thing for a Healer," Terra said.

"I know, I know. Philanthropy and all that," Rain shrugged.

Rain raised his coral spear before Josar\'s buff could end, but in the end, he stopped right there. As the battle raged on between the magic people and the human forces, a deafening roar resonated through the skies, shaking the very ground beneath their feet. It was a sound that sent shivers down the spines of all those present, a sound that was all too familiar for Rain and many others.

Several dragons, majestic and terrifying, had arrived, and their mighty roars echoed across the battlefield.

The reaction among the magic people was immediate and striking. Every combatant halted in their tracks, their expressions filled with shock and disbelief. The sudden arrival of dragons was the last thing they had expected, and the situation had taken a dire turn. Now, they found themselves caught between two formidable forces, both relentless in their pursuit.

The moment of stillness hung in the air as the magic people grasped the gravity of their predicament. The dragons\' roars reverberated like a prelude to impending doom, and the magic people now faced an even more challenging and mortal battle. Their situation had taken a grim turn, and their determination would be tried like never before.

Rain looked at Terra, and she also looked at him… for a moment, it was clear in their expressions that they didn\'t know what to do. Still, their doubts only lasted for a moment… when they saw the human army retreating a bit and reforming their ranks… it was clear that they wanted to make their moves as soon as the magic people showed any signs of weakness.

"Retreat with Josar… I will see what I can do with those guys," Rain declared. "I won\'t be able to fight with focus if I don\'t know if you are safe or not."

"I should be the one getting worried here…" Terra said while seeing over ten dragons approaching and chasing a battalion of magic people in the distance. "Just retreat if you get wounded… this will all be useless if you end up dying."

Rain nodded and then charged toward the other direction… it was time to have a showdown with ten dragons.
