Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 400 : Trap

In a hurry, the mages made them move and eventually returned to the ground. However, Rain made the earthblocks fall right over the fire tornadoes and dissipated them.

The powerful attack unleashed a massive explosion of searing heat that rippled outward in all directions, creating a blistering shockwave. The air itself seemed to catch fire as intense energy surged through the area. Soldiers standing nearby found themselves engulfed in an unbearable inferno, their armor now working against them.

The once-protective metal of their armor quickly became a source of torment as the scorching temperatures penetrated it. Agonizing cries and grunts filled the battlefield as the burning metal seared through their flesh. Some soldiers, unable to withstand the intense heat, dropped their weapons, their hands blistered and scorched by the onslaught.

The ground itself sizzled and warped from the sheer intensity of the attack, transforming the battlefield into a nightmarish landscape of molten metal and smoking armor. Amidst this chaos, Rain stood resolute, his own defenses proving more than capable of resisting the searing heat.

He knew he had to find a way to counter this devastating assault before it inflicted further destruction and casualties.

"I will take that," Rain said.

Using his earth magic, Rain made the weapons and shield sink on the ground… he used a bunch of mana to make hundreds of those disappear and disarm the same amount of opponents, but that would be worth the while later…

Despite that, some brave and perhaps stupid souls charged toward Rain… when many saw that, they began to charge as well. That was their golden chance to become rich and become worldwide famous by killing the most famous hero of the war against the magic people. So, they sure were eager.

Rain just raised his guard and began to block their spear thrusts and sword strikes with his forearm guards… while not using Limit Breaker and Magic Boost, their attacks were a bit heavier. Still, Rain stood his ground… until he blocked some attacks, and then something impaled some soldiers from behind, and those same weapons reached Rain.

Rain blocked those strikes with his guards, but they began to push him backward… at the same time, the blood of the soldiers started to gush on his face… those who realized what had happened soon became the next targets, and soon enough, no one knew what had happened, but they saw Rain covered in blood.

"They really like to test my patience…" Rain thought and then took a deep breath.

Rain looked around, but he didn't find it, but he didn't see the special soldiers… Rain heard that they destroyed the water snipers' village in half an hour, so it seemed that they knew a thing or two about stealth… Still, they were dead wrong by thinking that only that much would stop him from finding them.

"Be patient… this can't be helped… focus on the goal," Rain muttered to himself. "This is for the best since it will solve this whole mess a lot sooner..." Stay updated on m v l e mpyr

The soldiers, driven by an intense fury, attacked Rain with a relentless force as if he were a malevolent entity. Their shouts of anger and loathing resounded through the night, creating a discordant sound of raw emotion. With each strike, their training blended with their deep-seated animosity, casting Rain as a sinister figure.

Their shields were thrown at his head, and their shields tried to hit him from the back…

Despite the shroud of darkness that enveloped the battlefield, their eyes burned with an unyielding intensity of hatred. Their faces twisted with rage, and their voices carried the weight of retribution; they wanted to avenge their dead friends. Yet, Rain remained steadfast and kept his cool.

Amidst the tumultuous tempest of anger that surrounded him, he continued to block the enemies' attacks with unbroken focus.

Before long, Rain suddenly saw a massive explosion in the distance coming from the enemies camp… everyone looked in the same direction, and then they realized that they had done it again. The enemies had left a bunch of soldiers there, but apparently, it hadn't been enough to stop another surprise attack…

"Now, it is my turn," Rain thought.

Rain used his magic, and then he felt the vibrations and the magic presence of all the soldiers around him… soon he found the familiar presence of the special soldiers, and then he charged toward them.

After using Impulse and knocking down several enemies along the way, RRain found the first special soldier… the guy tried to run away and then threw some bombs at Rain that sealed his magic. A weird powder covered his body, but Rain ignored it and then punched the enemy after using Limit Breaker.

The enemy raised his sword to block the attack, but the punch broke the weapon and then pierced his chest and heart…

"Let's see if you can heal while my arm stays here," Rain thought and then dashed toward the next target, but soon Rain saw the special soldiers dashing to the camp.

Rain used Impulse to leave the area as soon as possible, and in the end, he and all the enemy soldiers realized that such a thing saved their lives. Before Rain could reach the waterway, the prisoner suddenly exploded in Rain's arm…

A colossal explosion of crimson energy rocked the area, causing the ground to tremble beneath it. This powerful blast created an immense crater that measured fifty meters in both length and width. The sheer force of the explosion sent shockwaves through the landscape.

As the explosion reached its peak, a dark and foreboding mushroom-shaped cloud billowed into the sky, casting a haunting shadow over the battlefield. The striking crimson color of the blast starkly contrasted with the deep darkness of the cloud, forming a mesmerizing yet terrifying sight.

The resounding roar of the explosion echoed far and wide, leaving an unforgettable mark on the surroundings and sending shockwaves through the hearts of all who witnessed it.
