Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

It was an interesting topic, but Rain didn't have time to think about it too much. It was time to win and head home… The sun was going to set soon as well, so Rain was starting to get kind of hungry.

"You can decide the start of the battle by attacking me," the beast king declared.

"Well then… let's hope that you won't regret it later," Rain said and then assumed his fighting stance.

After lowering his stance and then moving his right hand backward, Rain used Limit Breaker and his new technique… at the same time, the beast king's body also began to emit a powerful aura. Before long, it looked like his aura was burning… it was similar to what the giant beastman could do. Still, it is a lot more concentrated and intense, and that could be a problem…

Still, Rain stepped in with all his might after using Impulse. In the blink of an eye, he approached and punched the beast king, but the target reacted fast enough to block the attack with one of his arms… the beast king was pushed away and collided against the wall of the arena, but he kept standing, and he didn't cause much damage… Moreover, the wall made of silver began to melt a little.

"This will be a pain in the ass…." Rain thought while looking at his right fist.

Rain's right fist bore the marks of an intense battle with the beast king. It was a sight both surprising and alarming. The surface of his fist displayed blackened, scorched skin reminiscent of molten metal frozen in time. Fiery lines etched across his knuckles, resembling cracks left by a volcanic eruption. These lines seemed to pulse with an unnatural internal heat.

The burnt flesh strained and tightened as Rain clenched his hand, revealing the turmoil beneath. It was as though the wrath of a fire dragon had seeped into his bones. The burn not only weakened his punch but also left a throbbing, blistering sensation.

His once unblemished skin, now charred and blistered, stood as a testament to the power of the beast king's aura and the relentless battle fought within the arena.

The beast king began to approach Rain, and while his body could melt the walls of the arena, his fists weren't doing that. It probably would be annoying if he began to sink on it thanks to that.… he had full control over his aura, and apparently, he didn't care about the cost over time.

"That wasn't half bad, but I hope that you can do better than this," The beast king smiled.

The beast king changed and then attacked Rain. For the common eyes, it looked like he instantly moved and attacked Rain. However, he was still able to move his forearm guards and block the strike… but he wasn't able to stop the impact, making him fly to the walls of the arena while making a high-pitched sound… Despite that, Rain landed on his feet and then used Impulse toward the opponent again.

What happened next, no one could say for sure. Rain and the beast king began to fight while moving at supersonic speeds. They were moving so fast that people could only hear the sound of the impacts happening all over the arena and cracking the ground.

Jori and Reca shifted their focus from listening to observing, trying to keep up with the chaotic battle between Rain and the beast king. They were met with a mesmerizing spectacle that exceeded their expectations.

Before their eyes, Rain and the beast king engaged in combat, leaving behind intermittent snapshots of their intense clashes. The arena became a canvas for their fierce exchange of blows and counterattacks.

Their surprise grew as Rain displayed a newfound level of strength, delivering precise and powerful strikes that left a lasting impression on the arena. Equally astonishing was the beast king's ability to hold his own against Rain's relentless assault. His formidable aura matched Rain's intensity, and his defensive maneuvers were just as remarkable.

Jori and Reca had to concede that the world held more formidable warriors than they had previously imagined. It wasn't just the dragons and the sea emperor; the beast kingdom boasted its share of powerful fighters, with the beast king being a prime example.

The relentless clashes between Rain and the beast king sent shockwaves rippling outward, creating a breathtaking display of power that affected the very fabric of the arena. These shockwaves were more than mere physical forces; they were a fusion of mana and fire, manifesting as ethereal waves in the air.

As Rain and the beast king traded blows, each impact unleashed these otherworldly shockwaves, cascading through the arena like a mesmerizing dance of energy. The waves appeared as a vivid blend of radiant mana and fiery hues, creating a spectacular display that left the audience in awe.

The shockwaves extended in all directions, making it seem as if the very air around them was pulsating with raw power. It was a testament to the incredible energy and magic at play in this extraordinary confrontation.

In one of those moments, Rain suddenly kicked the beast king with his right shin guard and then clicked his tongue when he blocked with his elbow. The attack lost a lot of power, and the opponent didn't suffer any damage. However, the impact still reverberated on Rain's leg and forced him to stop for a moment.

"He knows how to fight… even though he probably can overpower all of the other tribe leaders," Rain thought. "He trained hard to become this strong… he wasn't just blessed with a strong physic and awesome fighting sense."

"What is wrong? You should know that I can fight like this for at least three times more than you," The beast king declared. "Time isn't on your side."

Rain didn't know how he could tell that with so much confidence. Still, he probably wasn't wrong… the opponent was older and had more time to train, so it was only natural that he had way more stamina, mana, and health than Rain.
