Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 436: Price



While making a high-pitching sound, Rain charged toward the ice dragon… for a moment, he became a meteor on fire that was targeting the ice dragon\'s head, but the creature wasn\'t at the apex of the species of that world for no reason… it reacted fast enough to open its mouth to fire a giant ice spear from it.

Rain\'s body collided agaisnt the colossal weapon only for a moment, and while he felt his body crumbling, the spear cracked first  eventually, Rain reached the enemy and punched its forehead with his two hands… he used all the muscles of his body during Impulse, there was no need to put his back on a single punch.

Rain and the ice dragon stopped on the same spot, and the thunderous collision created a massive shockwave that made the entire area tremble, and the ice that the ice dragon had created cracked completely… for a moment, the expressions of both of them didn\'t change at all, but then their armor began to crack completely, and they felt on the ground.

Rain fell with his eyes open, filled with shock, and he stayed like that until all the armor of the dragon fell apart, and his skull got swollen as well. His eyes, nose, and ears began to bleed…

Rain won… but it came with a great cost, he immediately began to heal himself with the extra mana he just received thanks to the level-ups of his path, but that didn\'t change a thing. After a few minutes, Terra arrived and noticed that Rain was awake, but she couldn\'t see his body well, thanks to the fragments of the armor. but when she moved them away, she realized it.

Pretty much all his bones had cracked, and his body was purple only his head was fine.

"Heal my back, please," Rain said. "I can\'t feel anything below my head… I can\'t show weaknesses to either side now."

Terra opened her eyes widely… she knew that damage on the back was extremely dangerous since it could stop people from moving for the rest of their lives.

"I can\'t heal that much damage so quickly. I don\'t even know if I can at all!" Terra said.

"Just heal the bones of my back. I can use my magic to move afterward," Rain explained.

Terra approached fast while using Impulse, but the others soon would come, so she started to work.

It wasn\'t only the bones and Rain\'s spine that suffered damage… all his muscles were a mess… stopping the charge of the dragon made the beast suffer a lot of damage, but Rain endured half of the impact with a much smaller body… the dragon suffered all of that in its head, while Rain suffered all of it in his whole body aside from his head.

Terra helped Rain drink some potions as well, so while he still could feel a thing, he still used his earth magic to keep his legs and body steady. He only used it in some parts in order not to let the others see it… it would be suspicious if he kept wearing earth armor, after all.

Before long, Josar, while being carried by two of his allies, arrived with the battalion that escaped thanks to Rain, and while he still didn\'t have his legs, he was surprised by what he saw.

"You are something else… that dragon should be at least five hundred years old," Josar said.

"It is mine, and I am not going to sell it," Rain declared.

"I shouldn\'t have expected anything less…." Josar furrowed his eyebrows. "The human army is retreating… it seems that they don\'t want to face us without the chaos that the dragons could cause."

While Rain was fighting, the slowpokes that were holding back finally decided to show their true might… they were the draco soldiers that Rain had heard off and they were strong enough to even face the special soldiers in a one-on-one fight… if they had more of them, Joanis would have kept the fight, but he decided to retreat… or maybe it had been the king\'s orders.

Either way, Rain\'s victory over the ice dragon changed the whole battlefield.

Rain returned to the capital just in time to see the large human army in the distance… he didn\'t think that they would retreat back to their base… even though they had still the numerical advantage, it seemed that they decided to change their plans.

No one realized how messed up the situation of Rain\'s body was, but at least they stopped looking at him, annoyed. He saved their asses, after all… if it weren\'t for him, the ice dragon would have turned their capital and its surroundings into an ice field.

In any case, nothing of that mattered, and Rain and Terra went to their base to heal his wounds… while he knew that basic was useful in that world, he was still a bit afraid of the cost of that fight.
