Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 429: Wiseman's path

The morale of the magic people was soaring, reaching a fever pitch. Their spirits were so high that they couldn't contain their excitement, and a resounding roar erupted from their ranks in response to Josar's words.

The enthusiasm was so infectious that even those back in the city joined in, adding their voices to the thunderous cacophony. The collective power of their roars caused the entire area to tremble and vibrate as if the very earth itself acknowledged their fervor.

Some people say that stars shine the brightest just before they die… Rain wondered if that was the case in that situation. Rain didn't like the fact that either side could be exterminated, even if it was because their own actions led them to that path.

Still, in the end, he was only a single person; he could only help so many people, and he chose to help those he cared about in order to increase their chances of survival.

When you have too many things to consider, you have to select the most important things for you, and among them, you have to choose the one thing that stands above the others… Explore more stories at m,v l'-NovelBin.net

"Charge!" Josar roared one last time.

The magic people began to charge and pass by Josar. At the same time, Rain waited until both arms collided against each other with his arms crossed. When that happened… the sound that echoed in the area couldn't be described.

People, weapons, and armor were trashed around in all directions, spinning in the air violently before falling down. That was the first impact, but soon those who were only good at long-ranged attacks began to work… clouds of fire emerged in the sky and then began to spin until fire tornadoes began to descend on the battlefield and in the middle of the human army.

Still, before they could reach them… they were stopped.

Wind tornadoes spinning in the opposite direction emerged from the ground rea,ched those, and stopped them. At another point, a sandstorm emerged as well and eventually swallowed the flames.

Rain looked at Terra for a moment, and then she nodded. In the next moment, he disappeared… Usually, Rain would leave a trail of destruction and people flying in all directions when he used the Impulse. Still, it seemed that he learned how to control it better…

It didn't pass even five seconds before his disappearance that something happened… another explosion happened, creating a sphere of blue energy, and this time, it engulfed and hit hundreds of magic people and humans.

The blast caused by the explosion reached Terra, and she was forced to protect herself with her arms. When she lowered them, she saw Rain in front of her with his body emitting a lot of steam…

"What happened?" Terra asked as she began to heal Rain's body.

"... He exploded as soon as I killed him… that wasn't supposed to happen," Rain said while breathing roughly.

Rain was surprised… although he considered that the king might lose his mind if he saw his army losing, he didn't think that he would sacrifice his soldiers so soon… he could only guess that Joanis told his special soldiers to self-explode as soon as they see Rain in order to drain his energy with each attack and decrease his influence on the battlefield… unfortunately, his plan might not work that well.

The Sage's Path reached the max level.

Level 100: Sage's Ascendancy - Achieve the pinnacle of wisdom and power, unlocking the full potential of your mana and wisdom and gaining access to the most potent spells and abilities of the Sage's Path.

(You reached the necessary requirements to unlock a new path.)

The Wiseman's Path is a journey of profound enlightenment and mastery over the arcane arts. Wisemen are revered for their vast knowledge and the immense power they wield through their connection with mana. (Wisdow + 20 per level.)

Level 1: Arcane Insight - Gain an innate understanding of mana, enhancing your ability to harness its power by three percent per level.

Level 5: Meditation Mastery - Perfect your meditative state, rapidly restoring mana and significantly increasing mana regeneration rate. You can use Meditation in all situations by concentrating enough. Mana restoration rate increases by four hundred percent. Higher levels in this skill decrease the amount of focus necessary.

Level 10: Grand Mana Infusion - Imbue your spells with extra mana, amplifying their potency and effects by five percent per level.

…

While Terra was healing him, Rain couldn't help but smirk. Thanks to that, Terra was thinking that Rain had Awakened to the world of pleasure through pain… she wondered how she was going to explain that to his family.

Regardless, Rain was really unlucky. The new level of Meditation was Meditation Mastery, and since that skill was already at level forty, the path came to level twenty… the math didn't add up, so he probably knew other skills of that path beforehand, but he didn't care, he also could check the other skills later and for now, he just equipped that path.

Rain felt his body being filled with power, his large mana pool increased by almost thirty percent in the last week, so it made sense that he felt great. He still had a lot of free points, but he decided to save them for now… Moreover, soon, he woke up to reality.

Numerous explosions of the purple sphere began to happen around the battlefield… right on the frontlines as well… Rain didn't think that the magic people were putting that much pressure on the humans. Still, Joanis decided to sacrifice his pawns more often since he knew that they couldn't face Rain directly.

"I am going to deal with that. Stay clear," Rain declared.

"Can't you do that from here and just make them explode in the air with your earth magic?" Terra asked.

"It is impossible… there are too many magic people around, I feel like my head will explode if I try to use Magic Eyes or even my earth magic to track them," Rain explained.
