Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 331: Island

These people possessed unparalleled abilities and emitted auras that defied conventional comprehension. Their strength and capabilities harked back to the days of their demi-human ancestors, making their powers truly exceptional and far from ordinary.

"Come out, you suck at hiding your presence," Rain said.

"Since when did you realize it?" The sea emperor slowly rose from the ocean and then asked.

"Since when you begin to control the waves to stop making noise," Rain said. "Still, I was expecting Seadir and not you."

"He is busy guarding the waterway, and I felt your presence and another suspicious one... still, you humans keep fueling my anger," Seadir said, and his aura turned the atmosphere much darker and more ominous. "You humans used my brethren to create these people."

"I think you shouldn't put all of us in the same spot," Rain said. "Besides, it looks like we have far more pressing matters than dealing with your unsolved anger."

"... This guy can be quite dangerous, I understand that with his ability, he was able to attack my daughter underwater and from a long distance as well," Seadrei said.

"Nothing says that it was him," Rain said. "As I explained before, several of them could have the same ability if they are the kids of the same parents.

In any case, it seemed that they have been living underground or something, and that is why they are so pale... if Joanis has been using prisoners to create them for over two decades, then he should have a small army of them... I guess we should count ourselves lucky that he probably didn't capture a dragon as well... not like I can imagine the child between a human and a dragon being conceived."

Rain knew that solely heading east to assess the situation with the magic people wouldn't suffice. The urgent priority was to locate Branden, who had been missing for over ten days. The vast expanse of the Kingdom made this search a difficult one. Still, Rain had a hunch that the enemies wouldn't hide Branden in his own territory, which narrowed the search area by about twenty percent.

Still, finding Branden within the massive Kingdom remained a formidable challenge, necessitating meticulous planning and resourcefulness to ensure that he would be found and secure as well. Rain knew a way to do that...

"I guess I will puke a bit," Rain thought.

Rain began to fly toward Tristan. Since he took a food chunk of the country to use for himself and the others, considering the geography of the kingdom, Tristan was in the middle of the kingdom now. So, it was the best plan to put his plans into action.

After arriving in Tristan, Rain moved to the highest building and landed at the top of it in the middle of the night. Coincidentally, It was also the branch of the king's blade. Still, Rain didn't have to worry about it since it was empty.

After raising his coral spear, Rain began to use his magic to moisturize the air in the sky. At the same time, he began to control the clouds in the area when his spell began to attract them.

Little by little, Rain began to expand and thin out the clouds above the city... that would be one hell of a job, but he persisted for several hours. Few people realized that, but the clouds stopped moving like they should be in the whole country... The sky was completely cloudy, but there were no signs of rain.

For several hours, Rain tried to control the weather of the whole kingdom, which forced him to focus and drink potions like there was no tomorrow. He truly felt like puking, but he endured that, even when some liquid began to leave through his nose... usually, he would use water magic to deal with that. Still, his focus was on that single spell.

When Rain felt that the giant cloud was covering the whole country, he finally used his last reserves of mana to make it Rain... only for ten seconds. Still, Rain made it rain in the whole country.

Thanks to that, he was able to locate the location of the most powerful individuals in terms of magic in the country, and he found Branden presence in the extreme southern side of the kingdom and approaching the coast.
