Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 425: Worries

The human camp quaked as a massive purple sphere roared menacingly above. This startling event was a rare alignment of mana sources, revealing the anti-magic barrier cast by the red crystal that Joanis had.

Soldiers and their equipment trembled in response to the intense vibrations, their attention fixed on the mesmerizing display. It showcased the special soldier's remarkable magical abilities and served as a stark reminder of the formidable power that they showed at the moment of their deaths.

Until now, they didn't find any evidence of it, but now they couldn't deny it. As for the special soldiers, they retreated since they didn't want to become targets for Rain, but the other armies kept moving to the sides, and the one in front of Rain and the others stopped to keep him away from increasing the size of the hole.

"I guess this is fine for now…" Rain thought and then retreated.

The human army stopped moving as well, but with a single order, they would be able to attack three places in the capital of the magic people in a matter of minutes… they wanted to split their focus further.

"It seems that they want to keep us awake the whole night… this isn't good," Terra said when Rain returned. "What is your plan?"

"I can only do things on my own now since the magic people are letting the blood rush to their heads," Rain explained. "The real question is what he wants to do. You are the leader on this front, right?"

"Yes… we will have to keep fighting, and I want you to get rid of the special soldiers when they expose themselves," Josar declared and then turned to face Terra. "I want you to keep your soldiers alive as well."

"She is here to keep an eye on me so she can't be exposed. Tell your soldiers to retreat and bring the wounded when they find them," Rain said. "Also, where are my potions? It doesn't have to be only the high-quality ones."

"You should have said that earlier…" Josar facepalmed.

It seemed that Josar assumed that Rain was some sort of connoisseur of potions, and he only drank the giga Chad high-quality spiritual potions instead of the vanilla ones. Thanks to that, some boxes arrived later for him to use filled with them.

"I want to send some reinforcements to the other sides, so try to keep the enemies at bay here with your magic," Josar said.

"Mist won't work again, so I need to think for a bit…" Rain said while rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Since soon Rain will unlock the next path after Sage, he wanted to keep the use of earth and water magic to a minimum, but he wasn't one hundred percent sure the new path would come at a high level, so he had to choose his options carefully.

In the end, Rain's options were wind and fire… not his best elements. Still, they had a lot of potential…

"I guess this will do it… if anything, it will make them tired faster, even if their gear protects them against magic," Rain said. "Hey, do you have any relics that can enhance fire spells?"

"... No," Josar replied.

Rain wanted to punch that guy in the gut with all his might… he had some relics they should have used the dragons they defeated for that purpose, but he didn't want to share for one reason or the other. Still, Rain couldn't complain much since he was already getting the potions. He could only be so shameless.

In any case, once Rain's mana was back to full again, he began to focus. Since he didn't have any relics that could improve his wind or fire magic, he could only rely on his skills.

When the battle between the two armies started to get too bloody, Rain put his plan into action. While controlling the air in the area, Rain made it rotate around the enemy's army. They raised their guard since they knew that Rain was up to something again, but they didn't feel any danger.

Still, the wind soon began to get hotter and hotter… the enemies began to sweat a lot, and breathing started to get hard. Moreover, even in the middle of the night, their vision started to get blurry.

The magic people realized that the hot air was only around the enemies… Since they were bloodthirsty retards, at least in Rain's eyes, they didn't care about the opening that Rain gave them… they could have used long ranged attacks at close range and surprise the humans, but they just charged at them… at least the martial artists and mercury warriors did.

Still, while it wasn't efficient, it was enough to push the enemies backward and knock them down. The mercury warriors used their Mercury to summon hammers. They knocked down the humans left and right while agonizing. Thanks to the heat, the humans were unable to recover, and soon, the mercury warriors finished them off.

The humans began to die in droves again… to the point that they began to retreat once more and eventually crossed the anti-magic barrier. Unfortunately, Rain couldn't dig the hole with the hot wind alone… so he dispersed the spell.

"It looks like they can't use magic inside the anti-magic barrier either… but they are using arrows and bolts to kill your people," Terra said while Rain was canceling the spell.

"Stupid morons… that is what happens when you don't elect your new leader soon enough," Josar said and then advanced through the area.

Rain was the cause that those tribes didn't have leaders… so he wondered. If Josar was complaining to him as well. Still, he didn't care about that… he was only worried that those guys might end up exterminated before they teach him anything.
