Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 335: Anti magic

Rain blocked the attack with his elbows in order to counter as much damage as possible, but that didn't make the enemy flinch even a bit. After he landed on the ground, he slipped for a while, but he kept his stance unbroken as he watched the giant charging at him.

"It felt like I blocked the attack with something that used a steel plate..." Rain thought while he felt a sharp pain in his elbows.

Rain made several earth bullets fly from the ground toward the enemy, but the guy didn't even more to block them. They touched his face. Still, they completely turned into dust upon impact, and there was no sound either.

In the end, Rain was left speechless when he saw that... he didn't have much mana left, but he couldn't hold back either. At the moment the enemy tried to bodyslam him, Rain used a Limit Breaker and then punched the face of the guy...

The attack made the enemy move his head to the side. However, Rain was expecting something more like the sound of the enemy's neck cracking... still, while that slowed down the enemy, he soon looked at Rain, unfazed.

"What the fuck..." Rain opened his eyes widely.

The enemy swung down both armies to smash Rain's left side. Still, he blocked it with his left forearm guard... in the end, he felt like he blocked with his arms only since he felt his arm snapping while he spun in the air and then hit a warehouse.

Rain crashed through the walls of the warehouse with astonishing force, effortlessly tearing through them as if they were mere paper. Debris and shattered wood flew in all directions as he plowed through, leaving a trail of wreckage behind him. After the chaotic descent, Rain finally came to a stop, rolling along the ground several times before settling.

"It is probably because he was raised and trained to deal with massive enemies or armies," Rain thought.

It seemed plausible that this individual had been exclusively trained in the art of physical combat. Such specialized training would enable him to confront a multitude of adversaries, including larger foes like dragons, without relying on magical abilities.

Considering the extensive duration of Joanis' plan and the creation of these formidable soldiers, Rain deduced that this enemy couldn't be older than twenty. Yet, despite his youth, he had already become a formidable force, displaying an astounding degree of muscle mass and physical power.

It served as a testament to the rigorous training and enhancements these individuals had undergone under Joanis' guidance.

"I never thought I would have to use my head against an opponent that looks like a human in a one-on-one fight again," Rain thought when the enemy was turning around to attack him again.

It was time to stop analyzing the enemy and show some results. Rain was too tired for a long fight, but it was hard to imagine that he would be able to defeat that guy fast without some simple tricks and magic.

In any case, the enemy charged again, and this time, Rain stood his ground and waited until the last moment to activate Limit Breaker. When that happened, he punched the middle of the torso of the enemy dozens of times while each punch and impact pushed him again.

Rain ignored the pain in his fists, and he kept attacking nonstop until the enemy finally lost speed and slowed down. To gain some time to recover, Rain jumped and then knocked the face of the enemy to propel himself backward.

When he landed, Rain saw the enemy showing an expression of discomfort... he imagined that the guy had been trained to endure a lot of physical pain, but everything had limits. Besides, Rain didn't target any randomplace.
