Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 189: War (31)

The shock on Jori and Reca's faces was palpable as they witnessed the incredible speed and power they had just exhibited. Their eyes widened, mirroring their astonishment at the newfound abilities that seemed to have awakened within them. It was as if the boundaries of what they thought was possible had been shattered, replaced by a reality that surpassed their wildest dreams.

For so long, they had poured their efforts into developing their own movement techniques, seeking to harness the same level of agility and finesse that Rain displayed. Yet, despite their determination and hard work, their attempts had yielded little success. And now, here they were, effortlessly moving with an almost supernatural swiftness that defied explanation.

However, the surprise that registered on their faces was swiftly replaced by a renewed focus. They were warriors accustomed to adapting in the heat of battle, and this moment was no exception. As Jori swung his sword to the side, the blade blurred with such speed that it became nearly invisible to the naked eye.

The enemies before him were caught off guard, unable to react in time as his strike landed true.

At the same time, Reca wielded her spear with a newfound confidence. A powerful blast erupted from the weapon's tip as she thrust it forward. The force of the impact propelled the blast with astonishing speed and accuracy, piercing the bodies of enemies who had thought themselves safe at a distance.

As for Rain, he didn't do much aside from the usual. He tried something new for a change since he had to save his mana, and with that in mind, he punched the ground by using Iron Fists and Crushing Blow at the same time.

The impact made the area tremble and made several enemies fall on their butts. At the same time, Rain suffered some damage for punching the ground like that... but at least it stopped all of the enemies in the area and made them look at him.

"CHARGE!" Cor shouted while raising his sword. "Kill all of those fuckers and slice them to pieces!"

Jori and Reca felt that they would get in the way of their weapons, but as soon as they moved their arms, the earth spheres moved away from them a bit. That gave them some confidence.

Using Impulse again, Rain made him and those two charge toward the enemies. They arrived on the next line of enemies just in time to see the mud golems getting up. Without hesitation, Jori and Reca attacked them and made them explode. They quickly moved their weapons to protect them, but while they heard the sound of impacts, they didn't feel anything... the earth spheres protected them.

Rain left the mud golems to his friend, and then he reached the golem masters... At close range and without their mud dolls, they were at the same level as ordinary humans, so Rain didn't have a hard time punching their chests or heads and breaking most of their bones while sending them flying into the distance. Although Rain wasn't using any skill, he was surprised with the notifications...

An unknown skill level up.

The Fighter's Path received 300 experience points.

"... Is it because of the earth's spheres?" Rain thought while furrowing his eyebrows. "Anyway, I need to unlock the next path before the next general appears."

Rain used Impulse to collide against a bunch of golem masters, and when they died, their golems didn't explode. They only fell dead... and became piles of mud. That made him feel even more eager to collide against them like that since they weren't that tough.

Before long, Cor and the others joined the group and began to destroy the mud golems while their masters were trying to escape from Rain... still, when he was about to follow them, he saw the final like of enemies marching toward them and their aura was different from anything that Rain had seen until now.
