Chapter 579 Seals

And somehow, against all odds, his willpower began to take effect. It was as though his resolve cast a powerful wave of light through his mind, pushing back the encroaching darkness and allowing him to regain control of his own self. He had thwarted the shadow's advance, asserting his dominion over his own being. After taking a deep breath, Rain focused on the surroudings.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Though the exact nature of this shadow remained a mystery, it was clear that his determination and inner strength had played a pivotal role in his victory against the threatening it. However, that scared him quite a bit...

"What the hell was that..." Rain though. "I can't, or I am not allowed to use the spear?"

Rain didn't have time to think about that either... the sea Dragons began to fire numerous blasts of water toward him. The first few reached him and pushed him away dozens of meters as he spun in the air.

Out of reflex, Rain used his shield to block the attacks, and he was surprised to see that he didn't feel anything when he blocked them... He regained his balance, but the shadow began to cover his eyes again.

"What the fuck? Again?" Rain thought and then considered throwing the shield away.

When Rain let go of the shield, the shadow vanished... but when he grabbed it again, nothing happened. He didn't know why, but he was starting to understand that the power of the shield was the same source of the shadow.

Rain shook his head and put the shield on his back... only the spear would do for the job. He was interested in the armor as well, but Rain decided to stay focused and not get greedy... who knows what would happen if he tried to equip that as well. Not like he had the time to take that out now.

Rain looked in the distance for a moment and then saw the empty cage and no sea dragons there. It seemed that the relics were a lot more important than making Seadrei suffer. Regardless, with a guy of that size, Seadir will need at least a couple more minutes to leave the base.

"This isn't a horse, stupid system..." Rain thought as they began to cross the giant hole.

Although darkness was covering them, Rain still could see hundreds of sea dragons chasing them... perhaps he should have tried to kill more of them to scare them off, but Rain was using too much mana. Besides, he knew that something else was going to happen, and that did happen... Enjoy exclusive content from empire

While they were escaping, Rain saw countless sea dragons coming from the opposite direction... the sleeping dragons joined the fray.

"I guess it can't be helped... First Seal, OFF," Rain said.

In the next moment, Rain suddenly felt a warm and radiant wave of power enveloping his entire body. It was as if a soothing, revitalizing embrace had washed over him, infusing his very being with newfound strength and vitality... it was the same thing that he feels when Terra heals him.

In an instant, the weariness that had previously gripped him began to dissipate, replaced by an overwhelming surge of energy. Rain's limbs felt invigorated, and his senses sharpened with an almost electric intensity. It was as though he had been bathed in a fountain of rejuvenation, and every fiber of his being thrummed with newfound life and power.

"Second Seal, OFF," Rain said.
